Long years (12)

Can you cry?

The problem is that I can't cry.

How deep is your relationship with the old lady? Really not!

In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t. Isn’t it just crying? Lin Yutong will! Royal funerals are definitely not a joke. If you cry well, it can become a political show. If you cry poorly, it might be a disaster.

For example, those two unlucky children of the Aisin Gioro family, Yong Huang and Yong Zhang, weren't they directly deprived of the qualification to be heirs just because they couldn't cry?

Is it unjust?

Not entirely! It just shows that the political consciousness of the two people is not high.

Look at Zhuge Liang, who cried when Zhou Yu cried, what a big deal it was.

So, Lin Yutong really knows how to cry, and it makes people feel sad and sad at the same time.

But if you really want to cry in a thatched hut as if you were in Fengxian Hall, then it would really be a joke.

But it seems that I can't cry. The old people are very particular and don't like dumb people crying. Turning to the left, it was Yingzi who was crying until she was about to die, shouting "Grandma" one by one, "...you go."

Now, who can I tell about my panic in the future..." Looking to the right, I saw He Xiaowan, her face covered with a veil, but she was really crying, "... They're all gone now, and I left you alone... What are you doing?

I can’t bear it…”

What is meant by crying in the mourning hall? This is what it means.

Li Xian'er was crying. Yingzi and He Xiaowan were both really sad. Yingzi must be thinking about what would happen if her mother was still alive. He Xiaowan was crying for her father. She said it herself, don't look at her below.

She has a younger brother, but her father loves her the most. Her father is in the pig and sheep business. He is a matchmaker for people who buy and sell pigs, sheep and livestock, and earns a profit from the process. Early on, her father gave her the money to take care of the family.

Later, she contracted tuberculosis and could no longer move, but she still went back to the market. She dragged her father to the market and continued to do business as usual.

Everyone cries about their own pity, and the tears are naturally genuine.

Why is Lin Yutong crying?

I have long been used to seeing life and death.

But you have to cry! Peach Blossom Girl is threatening me. If you don’t cry, I’ll ask you to give me milk.

I'm talking about the little old lady.

If the new daughter-in-law does not cry, it will not be good for the new daughter-in-law herself.

Come on! I wiped my eyes with a handkerchief, and tears immediately fell down. I opened and closed my mouth, closed my mouth, opened and closed it, and just after I let out an 'ugh', I heard a 'puff' and laughed. Listen.

Everyone knew that the voice belonged to Su Xiaoqin. He must have laughed when he saw how ridiculous he looked.

With a wipe of his face, he lost the sense of shame, opened his mouth and cried twice, then raised his voice, "...Miscellaneous... I just left as soon as I said... You should stay a little longer..."

How filial your children and grandchildren have been for two days... Milk... The meat specially left for you is hanging under the eaves, you should finish eating before leaving..."

The fourth master who squeezed through the gate and passed by the door of the east room heard Tongtong's voice from the noisy crying, and then his whole body felt bad.

What are you talking about?!

Automatically brought into the funeral of Huang Ama or Er Niang, and then the queen made such a noise in front of all the civil and military ministers of the clan... He trembled.

Well, let's not think about it any more, I really can't afford to be hurt.

The four sisters-in-law's fighting prowess was astonishing, and they successfully defeated the third aunt and drove them out.

Then Li Xianer looked at her face, stood up again, and started chatting and laughing with those watching the excitement.

What a talent!

Yingzi and He Xiaowan still had to calm down and wipe away their real tears. Lin Yutong was so powerful in medicine that she shed tears from time to time.

There were a lot of lively discussions on the sidelines, and they all said, "Look at Tong Tong, she's crying so much that she's so scared."

The old man was lying on the side and couldn't see it, but people heard it was very lively. It was like a play, very lively.

There was the sound of Sanlanzi borrowing mourning clothes in the alley from outside. The old man finally spoke, "Sanlanzi is not allowed to wear mourning clothes!"

The old man's voice was not loud, and he watched the excitement from inside to outside, and then slowly became quiet.

Zhang Langcheng came in hurriedly, "Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"Sanlanzi is not allowed to wear filial piety." The old man said it again, "When I die, I will still say the same thing, Sanlanzi is not allowed to wear filial piety."

There are four children in a life, and the son owes the first two daughters? He owes the children! Even Da Meizi did that immoral thing, and this time the second son asked him to report the funeral, but he didn't say anything. Da Meizi was very cruel

, but if you marry someone who is unwilling to marry once, her temper can be kept in her heart and she will hate herself for the rest of her life. Is it torture? It must be like an ant biting her heart every day, and she never lets it go for a day. Tit-for-tat, you are unkind and I am unjust.

, the real knife. Ask the old man to tell him that if such a person has a bad life, there is no justice. His father taught him a lot of things back then, and he has almost forgotten the rest, except for the sentence: 'Don't make enemies with ruthless people.

', these words are firmly remembered in my heart. Therefore, the second grandson's words used this incident to cover up the past grudges with a fig leaf.

He felt good! They had already stood up, and the Jin family was just about to stand up. No matter how heavy the burden was on their backs, they had to grit their teeth and endure it.

It’s okay not to mention these grievances now.

He admitted that he owed Da Meizi, but he never admitted that she owed Sanlanzi.

When Sanlanzi got married, Dameizi's man was already dead. Seeing Dameizi's behavior, he really wanted to do something for human affairs, and he was really careful to choose Sanlanzi as his partner. But, he was a lifelong man.

She only did human affairs once, but her daughter just didn't do human affairs again.

It was then that I realized that my father hated iron and never made steel. I had laid such a good foundation, but life just didn’t get better. What could I do?

As if he was afraid that no one would hear, Mr. Jin shouted again: "Listen, I told you not to ask Sanlanzi to wear mourning. You are not allowed to wear mourning to the old woman. When I die in the future, I don't want her to wear mourning."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sanlanzi outside sat down on the ground and cried loudly.

Who can persuade me?

No one cares!

Those who came to help went in and out, and passed around.

Aunt Jin is so proud, that’s right!

The whole funeral was busy. The men were busy building the memorial tent and digging graves in the cemetery. The women were busy in the kitchen, steaming buns and cooking. The more people who helped, the more people ate. Plus the next day

On the third day, even more relatives came over to eat. Pot after pot of steaming, day and night, might not be enough to be left in the end. For a funeral like this, there are many more people eating than helping.

The laborers at home have come to help, but what about the elderly and children at home? When it’s time to eat, they don’t all come here like this. One for this one, one for that one.

This is where the expenses for funerals end.

Just for this, the deacon kept shouting: "Everyone should be conscious, whoever helps eats, don't take it to their own homes..."

What's the use of saying it?

There are very few people who are in good condition and don't like to take advantage of this. Most people are still the same as before. If people don't bring them home, their children will just come over by themselves, rolling around and saying they are hungry. The steamed buns are placed there.

At hand, who can say not to let the children eat it?

If someone is willing to do something like this, it will give the bereaved family face.

The more people are willing to help and the more seats they open, the more honorable the host family will be.

The key is that when burying a person, all the materials are carried to the cemetery by people. It has to be carried smoothly and not wobbling, and it all depends on whether each person is willing to put in the effort. If there are those who work hard, just watch, everyone can be bumpy on the road.

, the one lying in the coffin cannot be safe. Therefore, the funeral must be carried out in an open and open manner for everyone to eat. As long as you are willing to contribute, you can say anything.

Lin Yutong was about to leave when he heard Fourth Master calling outside, "Tongtong, come out. Stationmaster Qiao is here -"

If there is a funeral at home, ask someone to ask for leave on your behalf. The person from your workplace will come directly to pay your respects. This is a very honorable thing.

When Lin Yutong went out, Fourth Master had already welcomed Station Master Qiao in.

"My condolences!" Stationmaster Qiao shook hands with old man Jin first, and then with several other men in mourning clothes at home. Finally, he shook hands with Lin Yutong, "...there is nothing we can do. Ask someone to send a cart of food. First,

Use it, if it’s not enough, send someone to tell me, I’ll ask someone to send it right away..."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of a walking tractor could be heard outside. It was really half a truck full of sacks.

Lin Yutong knew that these were old grains that the station got from the grain station. They were originally used as raw materials for feed. They were not very good, and everyone bought the good ones at a low price. But can this stuff be eaten? Absolutely!

This helped a lot.

Lin Yutong held Station Manager Qiao's hand with both hands, "I don't know what to say except thank you."

"See you outside!" Stationmaster Qiao said politely and went to respectfully offer incense to the old lady.

Deputy station director Chen and others followed behind. More than a dozen wreaths were placed outside the door, making the whole funeral suddenly feel luxurious.

These all go to the ceremony room to give gifts. For example, stationmaster Qiao, the ceremony book says: gift of ten yuan and a wreath.

Nowadays, fifty cents is considered a big gift. For example, it costs ten, eighty-five cents, which is really rare in rural areas.

For the livestock station alone, the total gift money is more than 100 yuan.

The way these helpers look at Lin Yutong is really different. They have seen Lin Yutong coming in and out, and they all know that she is getting paid, but how they say it is still different in the town and in the county.

In people's minds, people who work in front of their own home always seem to be less promising than those who work outside. But now when it comes to work, whether this is decent or not can be seen at a glance.

Lin Yutong and Fourth Master sent people out and came back. Along the way, they heard someone talking in a low voice, "...The Jin family can make a lot of money this time..."

Who makes money from funerals?
