The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

Chapter 135

Time unknowingly came to December.

On Sunday morning, Yan Jiecheng got up to cook, and opened the door to find that the outside was a vast expanse of whiteness, with heavy snow like goose feathers floating in the sky, and snowflakes blown by the wind were flying everywhere.

The thick snow on the ground made a rattling sound when stepped on, as if a little mouse was biting something.

Walking to the entrance of the cellar, I used a broom to clear the snow at the door, went in to get some cabbages and eggs, and started cooking.

After the meal was ready, Yu Li and the two children were called up, and the family of four ate around the table, while Yan Jiecheng peeled the eggshells for the two little ghosts.

The two little ghosts were arguing about going to build a snowman, Yu Li picked up the chopsticks and knocked each of them, and they calmed down.

"I want to play with the snowman in new clothes. I don't want this clothes anymore? If you two get my clothes dirty, I'll see how I can clean you up." Yu Li gave them both an angry look.

Yan Jiecheng looked at the aggrieved expressions of the two of them and couldn't bear it and said: "I will ask your uncle to build a snowman for you later, but you two can only watch and are not allowed to go and play."

When the two of them heard that their uncle would help them build a snowman, although they couldn't play it themselves, it was better than nothing, so they happily nodded and agreed.

They were eating, the old man suddenly opened the door and walked in, Yan Jiecheng frowned and looked at the old man who came in without knocking.

"Master, even if you have something to do, you have to knock on the door." Yan Jiecheng said dissatisfied.I don't know when I developed the habit of visiting, and I just walked in without knocking.

The old man was stunned for a moment, thinking of the last time Sha Zhu broke into their house without knocking on the door, and watched his wife change clothes, his face flushed and he was a little embarrassed, he really wanted to find a mouse hole to sneak in.Thinking of what I wanted to say this time, I opened my mouth and said:

"Xie Cheng, it's my fault to enter without knocking, but this time it's really urgent. The old lady is gone, so why don't you think I'm in a hurry."

Yan Jiecheng didn't react when he heard the news. Although he knew that the old lady wouldn't live long, he didn't expect to die so soon. It's only been a month since he came back from the hospital.A few days ago, I saw a big mother pushing the old lady to bask in the sun, but just a few days later, the people disappeared.

"Master, wasn't the old lady fine a few days ago? Why did she disappear suddenly?"

"Isn't the temperature a little low these days? The old lady may have a cold and fever, and she didn't get better after taking some medicine. When your aunt went to deliver food to the old lady this morning, the old lady had already passed away." Grandpa He hesitated and said.

The main reason is that this matter has something to do with Jia Zhang. The old lady passed away so early, but Jia Zhang did a lot of help.

Since picking up the old lady from the hospital, Qin Huairu has gone to work, and the job of taking care of the old lady has been handed over to the aunt, but it is impossible for the aunt to guard the old lady 24 hours a day, she has to give Yi Zhonghai Cooking, cleaning the house, and washing clothes.

So the uncle found Jia Zhang and asked her to help look after the old lady, and she didn't need to do any work, just help look after the old lady when the old lady was busy.That's it, the uncle promised to give her five yuan a month, and she agreed.

This is also a helpless move. Only Jia Zhang has time in the entire compound, and no one else is free even if they want to help.

The eldest mother and Jia Zhang took care of it, so the elder didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he had to go to work every day, so he could go to spend time with the old lady on Sunday.

Even with the old lady lying on the bed, unable to speak.The uncle didn't know how Jia Zhang took care of the old lady, so he sent the old lady away in just one month.

Yan Jiecheng: "What do you mean, uncle?"

"It's not like the old lady just left without any relatives. The neighbors in our neighborhood have to help with the old lady's funeral. I came here to inform you. I will come to the middle courtyard after dinner. Have a meeting, let's discuss how to deal with the old lady's funeral."

Yan Jiecheng heard that the old man came here for this matter, and nodded his agreement without thinking. After all, death is a serious matter, and the courtyard has never encountered a death in more than ten years.Although the old lady passed away a few years earlier than in the TV series, she was over 80, and it is considered a long life to live to be over 80 in this era.

After dinner, Yu Li was asked to watch the children at home, and Yan Jiecheng went to the middle courtyard with a bench.

Seeing that it was almost time for people to come, the uncle expressed his idea of ​​wanting everyone to attend to the old lady's funeral together.

Others didn't say anything, but the second uncle did stand up and raise objections.Since being educated by Director Wang last time, the second uncle has recently read newspapers, listened to the radio, and carefully studied national policies.

"Old Yi, I think your idea is wrong. Let's keep things simple for the old lady's funeral. Isn't our country advocating economy now? Besides, if we really want to do it for three days like you said, do we have to ask for leave?" , so many people ask for leave, won't it affect the production in the factory?"

"Then what do you think we should do?" the first uncle said, staring at the second uncle angrily.

"I think we'll keep everything simple. First take the old lady's body to the crematorium and cremate it. Let's hold a memorial service for the old lady in the yard. This way the day will be over and everyone won't need to ask for leave." The second uncle looked at Yi Zhong Hai looked at himself with red eyes, although he was very scared, he still said boldly.

After hearing what the second uncle said, Silly Zhu was about to say something when Qin Huairu stopped him.Qin Huairu also thinks this is very good, saving money and effort.If it is a big deal, the little money left by the old lady from selling the house is definitely not enough.

Maybe their family will have to take some out at that time, after all, the old lady usually has a good relationship with the uncle's family and their family, even spending the New Year together.

If you don't pay for this, you will definitely be poked in the back.Besides, it was suggested by the second uncle to do this, and it will not be possible to talk about their family at that time.

"Old Yi, I think what Lao Liu said is reasonable, and it is also in line with national policy. Besides, the old lady is gone, so what's the use of making the funeral a big one. Why don't you put it in the courtyard after the memorial service?" A few tables for the big guys to have a meal together." Yan Bugui agreed with the voice, and he didn't object to the big deal, the main reason was that he didn't want to ask for leave, after all, one day of leave would be deducted for one day.

Although the uncle has the intention to object, but he is alone, and he is a bit weak. Even Sha Zhu, I don't agree with him, what should he do, he can only nod helplessly in agreement.

After the meeting, the first uncle and the first mother put the shroud on the old lady, and then called the second uncle and Yan Bugui to send the old lady to the crematorium for cremation.

The first mother, the second mother and the third mother brought people to decorate the mourning hall for the old lady in the courtyard.
