Eighty Little Spicy Daughter-in-law: My boss has a gold mine

The night before Liu Yonglu's grave was moved, Zhang's family gathered in the yard to check one by one the matter of moving the grave tomorrow.

Manager Zhang held the list in his hand, "Brother, have you sent a telegram to Qiangzi?"

The boss of the Zhang family squatted on the ground, holding a pipe in his hand, "It's gone, I don't know why this brat hasn't come back yet!"

People in the village pay attention to funerals, and they must be accompanied by filial sons and grandchildren, the more the better.

Liu Laoer's family has only one daughter, Liu Yueya, and the population is small, so the daughters and daughters of these brothers will follow tomorrow.

The two sons of Zhang Zhenghe’s family, the eldest, the three sons of Zhang Zhengping’s family, the two daughters of Manager Zhang’s family, and the five children of Zhang Lao’s family are not full, so there is no need to go. According to the old saying, children go to the cemetery when they are young. Easy to be rushed.

Now Mr. Zhang’s eldest son, Zhang Zhiqiang, is in the army. He said he would come back, but he never came back. He sent another telegram to remind him, and he still hasn’t returned.

Boss Zhang took a puff of the cigarette pot, "If Qiangzi really can't come back, there's nothing he can do. Maybe something happened to the army."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in a green military uniform walked into the courtyard with his luggage, "I'm back!"

Boss Zhang was a little excited when he saw his eldest son coming back, and he hadn't seen his son for a long time, "Why did you come back?"

Zhang Zhiqiang put down his luggage and walked over, "Take care of something in the army!"

Now is not the time for chatting, Boss Zhang didn't ask any more questions, got up and quickly pulled him, "Hurry up and listen to tomorrow's arrangement, we are going to Jinnianzi Village to relocate your third uncle's grave!"

"Third uncle?! My third uncle has been found?" Zhang Zhiqiang was a little surprised. This third uncle has always lived in legends, but now he finally found it, but he is going to move his grave!

Boss Zhang sighed, "I'll talk to you about this later!"

As soon as Zhang Zhiqiang came back, all the members of the Zhang family were present.

Manager Zhang began to arrange what everyone should do tomorrow.

At three o'clock in the morning the next day, everyone was ready to go. It was a ten-mile journey from Mawei Village to Jinnianzi Village.

In the summer in the Northeast, the dawn is early, and it is already bright after three o'clock.

The Zhang family found 24 coffin bearers.

Twelve people form a group, no matter how far the road is or how heavy the coffin is, the coffin cannot land until it reaches the cemetery.

So prepare two groups of people, and you can change your shoulders if you get tired halfway.

There was a huge team to pick up the spirit, and the relatives and in-laws of the Zhang family, as well as those with good relations in the village, all followed.

The children of the Zhang family brothers all wore sackcloth and filial piety and followed behind the coffin bearer.

The coffin bearers were all strong married men in the village they were looking for. It is said that unmarried men have a strong yang energy and are prone to collide with the dead.

The Zhang family also found a team that specializes in playing funeral music.

There were almost a hundred of these people in total, and they walked towards Jinnianzi Village in a hurry.

The journey is relatively long, and it takes about two hours to reach Jinnianzi Village.

Mrs. Zhang and old man Zhang are waiting at home.

Liu Yueya and Wu Guangxu also got up earlier, and the two children were handed over to Wu Dayong and Grandma Li.

When the child was hungry, he was sent to his second aunt's house. Chen Xiaohui had just given birth to a fat boy with plenty of milk.

After five o'clock, the spirit-receiving team had already entered the village.

When the people in the village saw the sound of the gong of the spirit-receiving team, they quickly avoided or stayed behind closed doors.

It was the first time for many people to see such a huge spirit-receiving team. If it was a scene in the old society, it would have to be the scene of the landlord's house.

A group of people followed Liu Yueya up the mountain and found Liu Yonglu's grave.

The grave was dug open, and according to the old yin and yang master's instructions, a new coffin was replaced for Liu Yonglu's skeleton. At one end of the coffin was placed a "five grain store" made of straw by Zhang Guixiang, and the whole grains were sprinkled inside. , and a pitcher.

It indicates that the deceased will have food to eat and water to drink; the descendants will have a good harvest and a prosperous life.

Finally, the coffin lid was put on, and a soul-inducing chicken was tied to the blanket above.

The soul-inducing chicken is to choose a red-crested rooster with a good coat color.

The eldest brother Zhang Zhenghe and the second child Zhang Zhengping still vaguely remember the scene when the younger brother was taken away, but they didn't expect that when they saw each other, they were already bones.

The two elder brothers couldn't help crying, and Manager Zhang and Zhang Lao Wu also wiped their tears.

Zhang Laowu yelled tremblingly, "Third brother, we are here to pick you up!"

Zhang Guixiang and Liu Yueya turned their faces away to wipe away their tears.

Liu Yonglu has no son, only Liu Yueya is a daughter, so Wu Guangxu came to beat the spirit banner, and Liu Yueya was holding Liu Yonglu's portrait.

This is the only photo he left when he worked in the mine that year.

Zhang Zhiqiang, as the elder nephew, was responsible for distributing paper money all the way, the suona was blown, the coffin bearer carried the coffin, and the team went down the mountain, preparing to return to Mawei Village.

When passing through the village, Xue Jinzhi caught sight of Liu Yueya's portrait from the crack of the door. She felt that Liu Yonglu in the photo was staring at her, her legs were so frightened that she even rolled and crawled into the house When I got on the kang, I got into the quilt and dared not come out.

The people who came to the funeral procession were all physically strong, otherwise it would be unbearable to walk back and forth for three or four hours.

When the sound of the suona sounded in Mawei Village, Mrs. Zhang rushed out from the yard, stopped the team, patted the coffin and wept uncontrollably, "My son! I'm sorry for you, mother!"

The old man Zhang also wiped his tears and helped the old lady go back.

According to the rules of the village, when a white-haired person sends a black-haired person, he cannot be present at the burial.

The brothers watched my mother cry so heartbroken that they couldn't stop their tears.

But there is a time for burial, and there is no delay.

The team went up to the mountain of Mawei Village and found the ancestral grave of the Zhang family. Someone had dug the grave here in advance, and the coffin fell to the ground at this time. Burning paper was lit in the pit, commonly known as the "warm pit".

After the burning paper is completely extinguished, the coffin is sealed and encoffined.

The tombstone reads "Zhang Zhengguo's Tomb".

Offering tribute, burning incense and paper, all the juniors of the Zhang family knelt in front of the grave, with Zhang Guixiang, Liu Yueya and Wu Guangxu at the front, burning paper money.

Liu Yueya threw paper money into the basin, with tears in the corners of her eyes, "Father, you are home now! From now on, you are no longer from the Liu family! Your name is Zhang Zhengguo!"

After everything was over, a few juniors were about to tear the sackcloth into cloth in front of the grave, so they could no longer wear them down the mountain.

Manager Zhang looked at Zhang Guixiang and Liu Yueya, "Sister-in-law San, Yueya, Guangxu, let's go down the mountain and go home to have a look!"

The Zhang family set up a banquet to entertain the villagers who helped and those in the funeral procession.

It can also be regarded as a family recognition banquet prepared for Liu Yueya.

Everyone went down the mountain, and there were more than 20 tables set up inside and outside Zhang's courtyard, and a temporary fire stove was set up in the courtyard to cook vegetables.

There was a brazier at the door, and everyone stepped over the brazier and beat each other with wicker branches before entering the yard.
