I burn big seats in the countryside

Chapter 408 Money is the cause of everything

The atmosphere of funeral affairs is very depressing. This kind of sad atmosphere makes it easy for people to take in, so Yunxi also doesn't like the big banquet of funeral affairs. Unlike red affairs, there are two kinds of moods, two extremes.

At ten o'clock in the evening, all the helpers left, and they went back to chat with their family about the reason for Xiumin's death, which was considered a big gossip in the village.

In the courtyard, Wang Jieren and his brothers took turns keeping watch for their mother. In the house, only Yun Shouye, Yunxi, and Wang Yong were left.

Yunxi is holding a pen and writing about the purchases. Wang Yong has no money for funerals. Xiumin’s medical expenses are only reimbursed for [-]%. .

Yunxi took the initiative to say that he would process it for free and not charge money.

Wang Yong looked at Yunxi gratefully and said:

"Son, I've worked hard for you this time. Don't worry. Uncle, after finishing your aunt's funeral, I can still collect some money for my three acres of peanuts. I will pay you back slowly. Uncle owes it first. Wan Er has already talked a lot about buying other things, so let's buy ingredients for the remaining four thousand."

After finishing speaking, he gave the remaining four thousand to Yunxi, and asked Yunxi to buy ingredients. Generally, the village's white affairs are done for three to seven days, and Yunxi has to prepare ingredients according to the amount of money, at least so that everyone can eat enough when they come.

The gift money collected after the banquet had to be repaid to the two daughters-in-law, each of whom was [-] yuan. I was afraid that there would be no money left, so I had to owe Yunxi the money first.

Looking at the little money left, Wang Yong said:

"It will be done tomorrow, and the funeral will be held in the afternoon. I have notified everyone. If you don't have money, it's better to settle down earlier."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the money on the table and shook his head helplessly. His eyes were full of disappointment and despair. The only thing he could do now was to go to the funeral earlier and save some money. The two sons could not be counted on at all.

An extra day of parking at home will cost an extra day, and an early funeral will also save money.

After discussing, on the way back, Yunxi discussed with her father that they should post some money so that the funeral can be held first.

Yun Shouye shook his head and said:
"Your uncle has a strong temper, but he doesn't want to borrow money anymore, so he has to do it tomorrow. For the four thousand, you can buy whatever you can. If you add money at will, it's not a good thing. If the village People know that this is not good for you, especially Ma Caiyun knows."

Speaking of Ma Caiyun, Yun Shouye remembered the scene in the afternoon, frowned unconsciously, and said with a sigh:

"Hey! How did you find such a thing? Wanli picked out such a thing. Thinking of her, I feel worried for your uncle. With that shrew, can life be done?"

After finishing speaking, she smoked helplessly, thinking about it, her heart was full. If Rosa was like that all the time, she would be fighting and quarreling every day.

Yunxi listened to his father's story and what happened in the afternoon. After listening to it, he felt a stone in his heart and was very uncomfortable.

In the afternoon, I got a general understanding of it, but didn't ask in detail.

Unexpectedly, Xiumin was at home and had a fever on and off for more than ten days. She thought it was a severe cold caused by bacteria that was let go at the moment, and felt that eating something to reduce the fever was enough. When the fever reached No. 14 days, she finally couldn't take it anymore. I went to the hospital for an examination. It was not the kind of disease that cut my throat with a knife at all, but metastatic lesions of uterine cancer.

The uterine cancer metastasized to the intestines, so it caused a fever, which did not subside continuously, and the hospital was too busy to take care of the consultation. I just felt that the current symptoms were like that of fever, so it lasted for more than ten days. I went to the hospital for examination and then After waiting for more than a week, plus raising money for surgery, it lasted for a month.

After the operation, I thought I would go home to recuperate and live for three to five years or more, but Ma Caiyun was sent by God to take his life. In the end, the money was spent and the life was gone.

After Yun Shouye finished speaking, he said from the heart:
"Raising children and raising daughters is not important, the important thing is to keep yourself alive."

After finishing talking, looking at the dark scene outside the window, Xiu Min would not die so early if she gave herself some way to survive.

After the two drove home, as soon as Yunxi entered the house, although the house was clean, it didn't have the feeling of mother's presence, and there was no smell of a stove at home. It was just a deserted house.

Dad is at home alone, even if he cleans up, he can immediately feel the atmosphere of home when mom is not there.

My mother is still traveling, and it is estimated that she will not come back until a few days later. She sends videos and photos every day, sharing her travel experience and delicious food.

Looking at the deserted look at home, Yunxi instantly understood why Uncle Wang Yong was so sad, his son didn't make the decision, his wife passed away early, and he was the only one left in the family. It would be too desolate without company, and in the future there will only be lonely company up.

After returning home, Yunxi was also tired. After a whole day of work, the things in the trunk could only be picked up the next day. It was too late today.

Five o'clock in the morning the next day.

Wang Chaoren curled up on the sofa at home and watched all night, and the two brothers are now asleep on the sofa.

Yun Shouye walked over, patted Wang Chaoren's shoulder, woke him up directly, and said:

"Wake up, go outside the gate to help move things, the dishes are back."

After speaking, he pushed Wang Jieren next to him and said:
"Wake up too, the table has been pulled back, go over and help."

In the kitchen, the person who helped to buy vegetables came back at five o'clock in the morning. The time was tight and there was not much time to prepare for the banquet. Yunxi came here with his father at five o'clock.

Wang Yong's neighbor aunt, who was still asleep at home, heard the sounds in the alley and the collision of moving tables, and said to her wife next to her:

"Father, listen, what's the noise? Did it move back to the table?"

After finishing speaking, the person next to him didn't move, and then the aunt stretched out her leg and kicked, waiting for the other party to respond to her.

After being kicked awake, the sleeping wife said impatiently:
"Oh, what time is it? It's impossible. Besides, there's no funeral today. Which table should I move?"

After finishing speaking, continue to turn over and sleep.

At this point in the morning, when you are dozing off, you are very reluctant to get up. The table is only moved on the day of the funeral. Because there are many guests and many people to sit on, so we need to add a table. You don’t need to rent a table in the early stage, just rent it for a day Counting the money for the day, the tables are basically put together from the east and the west, and you can save as much as you can.

I turned over and was about to go back to sleep when I heard my wife behind me say:

"Listen to this voice, it must be that the table was rented back today, and I didn't hear it yesterday, or did Lao Wang say it, but we didn't hear it?"

After speaking, listen to the voice outside.

The neighbor's aunt became more and more like her, she sat up directly, turned on the light and put on her clothes, and said:
"I'll go there first, and you'll go there later, don't sleep too late."

Auntie thought that if there was a funeral today, the kitchen would definitely need help, and Yunxi alone would definitely not be able to finish the work, so she had to go over and help.

When talking, unconsciously thinking about what Yunxi will cook in the morning?

The uncle who was still lying down was also rubbing his eyes, thinking in his mind that he should go to bed first, but he remembered that Wang Yong was always the first to help when he had something to do at home, so he struggled sat up and said:

"I'll go and have a look too. If it wasn't for Wang Yong, I wouldn't want to go to help. Just those two white-eyed wolf sons, in the future, except for Wang Yong who can get along with the family, the rest of the family can't get along."

While talking, he complained, thinking that if it wasn't for Wang Yong's favor, he wouldn't have gone to help. The daughter-in-laws there were unreasonable, and even worried that if the daughter-in-law lived in the village in the future, the neighbors would live next to each other. , definitely can't avoid quarrels, it's a headache to think about it.

The dressed wife said:

"Don't dawdle. Those who go to help have this idea. You should get dressed quickly. If there is a funeral, Yunxi must have passed by. I don't know what to eat for breakfast."

After finishing speaking, I tidied up my hair and prepared to leave for a while. After speaking, my wife taught me:
"Look at you, even if you think this way in your heart, don't say it like that. In the past, Lao Wang felt so uncomfortable hearing it. He thought that we went to help in the past and went to eat. How embarrassing to hear it. We sincerely helped."

He was educating his wife, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart: It would be great if there were fried dough sticks in the morning. I think there was reconciliation last night.

The aunt muttered in a low voice:

"Look at you like that, don't you also miss breakfast? I know, I'm not stupid, but I deliberately went to Lao Wang and said that I was going to eat, what a surprise!"

After the two of them finished talking, the front and back went out.

As soon as I went out, it was true. I moved the tables and stools, and the yard was already set up. It seemed that the funeral was going to be held today.

In the kitchen, Yunxi was the only one at the beginning. With the arrival of the neighbor's aunt, within 10 minutes, all the aunts who helped the kitchen last night passed by. The people in the yard were all busy with their own affairs.

In the kitchen, the freshly bought meat was washed and cooked, and there was no time to soak in the blood, so it could only be cooked at a faster speed.

While it was cooking, there was a pot where the aunts were watching the deep-fried dough sticks, pumpkin porridge was cooking in the pot, and Yunxi was making cold fennel white.

Wash the round cabbage and rub it directly with a grater. Finally, pour in the cold sauce, add Yipinxian, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, vinegar, chicken powder and other seasonings, and stir it up. Pour in the heated tea oil, and use the hot oil to stimulate the aroma of the seasoning. It is hot and sour and refreshing. It is a versatile pickle for pumpkin porridge and fried dough sticks.

The aunts chatting while frying fried dough sticks in the kitchen said:

"I didn't expect the funeral to be held today. It's too early."

Another aunt said:
"Early funeral is also good, stop in the yard, look at Wang Yong's listless state, if the funeral is early, let him take it easy, otherwise he really won't be able to survive."

"Every family has its cupboard."

"It's all money."

In the yard, the man's heavy work had already been done. Just after finishing the work, it began to rain. It was still a light rain at first, but after a while, it turned into a heavy rainstorm.

Fortunately, the tent has been set up, and at six o'clock, the sky is getting brighter. The men stand under the eaves, first come to a pot of smoke, and wait for a hot breakfast. Everyone watches the steaming mist from time to time. Kitchen, wondering what's for breakfast.

They could smell the scent of pumpkins, but no one was ashamed to go into the kitchen to have a look. After all, it was someone's funeral, and everyone went to the kitchen, which made Wang Yong a little embarrassed to see.

Accompanied by the sound of rain, I heard someone's stomach growling one after another. Everyone has been busy all morning, and now they are all hungry, and no one cares about making jokes.

Smelling the aroma of the kitchen, everyone swallowed their saliva.

At this time, a loud voice was heard:
"It's time for dinner, it's time for breakfast."

The aunt stood at the door of the kitchen, shouting towards the outside, beckoning the big guy to come and have breakfast.

The rain was still falling, and there was no sign of stopping. Everyone was carrying bowls and looking for places to eat.

Some are standing under the eaves and putting bowls on the window sills of foreign affairs offices, while others are sitting on small benches with bowls and deep-fried dough sticks in their hands.

Everyone had breakfast standing up and scattered, and some were eating sitting in the room.

In the morning, Uncle Wang Yong also went to the kitchen to get breakfast by himself. Like everyone else, he ate breakfast standing under the eaves, with deep-fried dough sticks in his left hand and pumpkin porridge in his right, with a side dish of side dishes.

The golden pumpkin porridge is full of pumpkins, without rice grains. There are small pieces of pumpkin in the pumpkin porridge, and there are no broken pumpkins. After taking a sip, it is dense and thick. The natural fragrance of pumpkin leaves a fragrance in your mouth.

Soak the deep-fried dough sticks in it, and take a bite. It has the sweetness of pumpkin and the crispness of deep-fried dough sticks. It is very enjoyable to eat. After one bite, I want to have another bite. I feel that the sweetness is too greasy, so I have a bite of hot and sour fennel white. Sweet and refreshing.
