"Xiao Ning, Xiao Lan, you two come here." Ye Qingmei took advantage of the gap to let them go, "Do you remember what I told you last night?"
Thinking of the matter that the aunt asked them to go to the training last night, Ye Ning and Ye Lan looked at each other, seeing helplessness from the other's eyes.
In the countryside, after the death of their parents, daughters would cry for mourning, and the more sad they cried, the louder they expressed their filial piety.
It is best to add words when crying, such as: 'My dad, why are you so pitiful, you left at such a young age, what should I do in the future? ''Dad, why did you leave, I am not yet filial! ''Dad, you have suffered so much in this life, you must be reborn in a good family in the next life. ' and so on, and they must be affectionate and cry rhythmically. My aunt feared that they would not know how to cry, so she specially taught them how to cry.
Of course Ye Ning and Ye Lan were sad when Ye Qingshan died, it's normal to cry during funerals, but how about crying like this? It's really embarrassing for them.
"I know you are too young to cry, but you have to cry, otherwise the villagers will say that you are not filial, and that your father doesn't even have a mourner."
It seems that it is impossible not to cry, Ye Ning and Ye Lan nodded, but it was still impossible to make them cry in the way of auntie.
"How about we change those words?" Ye Ning thought about a few words, and Ye Lan then added.
As soon as the hour came, my uncle shouted to carry the coffin, and eight strong men lifted the coffin. They couldn't let the coffin fall to the ground on the way, and if they really wanted to rest, they had to put it on the stool.
"Dad, why are you willing to leave us?" Ye Ning couldn't help but think of her own parents, tears came down in an instant, and she cried sincerely, "You haven't seen Xiaolan and I get married, and Xiaoan married and had children. , why did you leave? What should we do when you leave? Dad, we can't live without you!"
Ye Lan followed Ye Ning. Although she knew what her sister was going to say before, tears welled up in her eyes when she heard it, "Dad, why are you willing to leave us behind? I still have to go to university and be filial to you in the future. How can you be willing to marry and have children?"
Although Eucalyptus Ye didn't cry, she cried loudly, calling Dad from time to time, which made her very sad.
People from the same village stood on both sides of the road, lamenting the injustice of Ye Qingshan's death, seeing his three children like this, heartbroken.
"What will happen to these three children in the future? Mom is gone, dad is dead, grandpa won't kiss, eh, life is so hard!" Some grandmothers in the same village whispered.
At this time, old man Ye came over with a cane, crying, "Qingshan, my son! Why did you die before me? You are killing me!"
Ye Ning and Ye Lan ignored him, as long as he wasn't making trouble, they didn't care.
Old man Ye supported the coffin and said sadly: "You failed to take care of you when you were alive, and when you are dead, I will send you up the mountain no matter what I say."
Seeing a gray-haired old man holding his son's coffin, most people forgot about his partiality before and began to feel sorry for him, but Ye Ning didn't feel that way. They knew how partial the old man's heart was. Keeping Ye Qingsheng's son in mind, Ye Ning should have come the night he told the news of his death. Not only did he not come that day, but this time the three of Ye Ning and his brother came back for so long, he didn't show up.
Not only did she not believe it, Ye Qingmei didn't believe it either, so she asked her eldest cousin and second cousin to stop him directly.
"You have never regarded Qingshan as your own son, and you don't use it for acting now. My brother doesn't care for you to send it off."
"What can I do? My son is dead, and Qingshan is my eldest son. I am a white-haired man giving a black-haired man, what else can I do?" Old Man Ye said sadly.
"I don't know what your plan is. These three children are the descendants of Ju'er. If you dare to bully them, don't blame me for being rude." Uncle saw that Ye Qingmei didn't follow, so he knew that Old Man Ye was here, and waved for the funeral The team continued, and he came to the side of Ye Qingmei, "If you want to send a funeral, send it well, don't talk nonsense, if you don't want to send it, go back, Qingshan doesn't want you to come."
Thinking of his brother-in-law kicking and breaking his leg before, old man Ye couldn't help shaking. He didn't want to come with his brother-in-law around.
After being warned, he immediately became honest, and followed slowly with a cane, wiping his eyes from time to time, looking a little pitiful.
When the coffin was lowered, the three Ye Ning brothers and sisters would stop them from going down, and then they would be hugged, struggling and crying to prevent them from being buried.
It was really sad at first, but because of these customs, Ye Ning and the others felt less sad, and more numb, anyway, it was an indescribable feeling.
Eucalyptus Ye put the first handful of soil, followed by Ye Ning and Ye Lan, and then others helped to cover the soil.
At this time, many people went back, leaving only close relatives and close relatives.
"Qingshan, I'm busy at home, so I'll go back first, and when I'm done, I'll come to see you." After the tomb was finished and the stone tablet was erected, Ye Qingmei touched the stone tablet.
"Dad." Ye Ning took out the admission notice from her pocket, "I have lived up to your expectations, I have been admitted to university."
With that said, Ye Ning put the admission notice on the candle and lit it slowly.
"Xiao Ning." The aunt was taken aback when she saw the admission notice, and then she cried out in a panic, "Don't burn it, I believe your father also hopes that you will continue to go to college."
"I told my dad about my current job, and I believe he will support me." There are indeed many cadres who graduated from university, and most of them started from the grassroots. Not as good as the treatment of state-owned factories.
The admission notice was burned, and the chance to go to school was completely lost. Uncle and aunt felt a little pity. If Qingshan was alive, she would definitely let her continue to go to school.
"Let's go back, our guests are still waiting for us." Ye Qingmei packed up her things and walked back, the three children turned their heads every step of the way.
Although it's just a tomb of clothes, but the mood is completely different from before, there is a feeling that my father has really passed away.
When I got home, the yard was very lively outside and inside. I borrowed a total of twelve Eight Immortals tables. A table can seat up to eight people. This is a bit crowded, usually six adults, two children, uncles and uncles. There are three tables for the helpers, one table for the coffin bearer, and other relatives, some friends Ye Qingshan himself knows, a total of nine tables, and the remaining three tables will not be displayed.
The 4 cold dishes on each table have already been served, but no one has started to eat them yet. No matter what kind of red and white things they have in their village, it is time to start the table.
When the time came, the third uncle set off a firecracker, and everyone knew that the banquet was about to start. About ten minutes later, another firecracker was fired, which meant the banquet was officially opened.
All the mourners have arrived, and they all eat with chopsticks.
I ate some cold dishes, and after a while, four hot dishes came up one after another. Everyone saw not only pork blood tofu, but also large pieces of meat and pig offal. As soon as the chopsticks were put down here, the roast chicken and duck came up. Immediately, people felt that Ye Ning was a little bright.
Some people think it's good and some people think it's not. A few grandmas whispered there that Ye Ning and the others don't know how to save money and spend money recklessly.
As he said so, he was not slow at all, and split up four chicken legs and duck legs in an instant.
"Don't think too much, these people in the village are like this, no matter what you do, she has something to say, if there are no chickens and ducks today, they will say the same, it may be even worse." Auntie and Ye Ning heard it when they were serving dishes. , the aunt saw that her face was not good-looking, and comforted her.
"It's okay, I have nothing to worry about with them, I just want to have a clear conscience." Although she occupied Ye Qingshan's daughter's body, but also because of her arrival, future tragedies were avoided, Ye Qingshan has to thank she.
After lunch, Ye Ning and Ye Lan took a casual bite, and started to help clean up the mess. Almost all the dishes on the table were eaten.
Fortunately, he prepared enough dishes, otherwise the two tables of wine in the evening would not be able to be served.
At noon, guests are invited to dinner, and in the evening, relatives are invited to have a second meal. Ye Ning plans to invite her uncle's family and third uncle's family.
"Don't invite your grandpa?" Third Uncle and Old Man Ye didn't deal with each other anymore, they were also brothers, so they couldn't help but say something for him.
No matter what old man Ye did before, he is Ye Qingshan's father and he can't get away with it, he should be asked to eat out of reason.
"Then I can only invite him alone." Ye Qingmei didn't want to see Wang Chunxiang, let alone the two sons Wang Chunxiang gave birth to. She had more eyes on each other than the other, and the daughter-in-law she married was not a good bird.
The two sisters were unwilling to call, and finally handed over this difficult task to Eucalyptus Ye.
Originally thought that old man Ye would not come over, but he did not expect to come here. Fortunately, he did not bring anyone over, otherwise Ye Ning would really be able to drive him out.
It's because he didn't bring anyone with him, but because Wang Chunxiang and the others didn't dare to come, if it wasn't for the presence of the uncle and his family, they would have come earlier.
In the evening, it’s all my family, the banquet is not as formal as at noon, but the dishes are not bad, large pieces of pork, fried tofu with golden color on both sides, stewed chicken and duck, the taste is better than at noon.
"Come, come, let's eat." Ye Qingmei called everyone to the table, uncle and third uncle sat separately, old man Ye followed third uncle, glanced at Ye Ning and the others from time to time, then lowered his head and said nothing.
"Xiao Ning, you will be the head of the family from now on. You must take good care of your younger siblings, especially Xiao An is still so young. As a sister, you should take care of her." Uncle said earnestly.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of my younger siblings." Ye Ning agreed to answer him solemnly.
Uncle nodded, glanced at Old Man Ye, and said to him, "I heard you're thinking about this house?"
"You can't wrong people, I own a house, why worry about this house." Old man Ye hastily denied.
"It's not the best. I was there when you separated. I agreed that you don't want a cent of Qingshan, and you don't need to provide for the elderly in the future. You don't even need to provide for the elderly. It doesn't matter if you have grandchildren. In the future, during the holidays, a few children It’s a matter of affection for you to bring things up to see you, and it’s normal not to mention things, if I hear someone slandering them outside, don’t blame me for being rude.” Uncle’s prestige remains the same as before. ,,,
