Tuan Chong Fu Bao's 70s

Chapter 457

The old lady has been like this all her life.

Even when I was so poor back then, the white and ripped clothes had to be washed clean.

She often tells the children, what can we do if we are poor, if we dress cleanly and behave cleanly, no one can easily look down on us.

So even at this time, she has to tidy herself up and tidy up.

Lying on the kang, he seemed to be asleep, with a peaceful face and a slight smile.

The only difference is that you will never wake up.

The old lady is gone.

After a family reunion.

She always seems to be different from others.

Because people often say that after a winter is another year.

However, the old lady has survived the winter, but there is no such year.

Probably because of the distress of the children.

I feel sorry for their running back and forth at work, so she can walk steadily when the children are by her side.

This is such an old lady, the old lady who can be seen everywhere with her face facing the loess and her back facing the sky.

She is an ordinary but extraordinary old lady.

The four Jiang family brothers knelt in front of the kang, weeping bitterly, and remained motionless.

The juniors knelt behind, sobbing softly and weeping silently.

After Zhou Shengli found out, he hurried over and saw this heart-rending scene.

He stepped forward to pull up the eldest, and said, "The old aunt walked away peacefully. I think I didn't suffer any punishment. You children have done all the filial piety that should be done before the old aunt was alive. I believe that the old aunt's spirit is in heaven, and I don't want to see it. to you.

People cannot be resurrected after death, and you have to deal with the funeral of the old aunt. You have to cheer up, you are full of children, and your children and grandchildren still count on you! "

Boss Jiang wiped away his tears and nodded.

Fourth Jiang hugged the old lady's body and cried, "Mother, why did you suddenly abandon your son? Why are you so cruel? What do you want your son to do? What do you want your son to do? Mother, my dear!" Mother, mother—”

The heart-piercing, cuckoo's howl of blood made people cry.

Nuan Bao knelt on the ground, tears falling down, like beads with a broken thread, which could not be stopped no matter what.

Grandma is gone...

The grandma who has been with her for 20 years is gone if she says nothing.

The only thing left was a crimson jacket and two bright red quilts made by staying up all night with the lights on.

That's all……

It is the custom of Mingyue Village that the body of an old man who has passed away is placed in the main room, and the family members keep a vigil for one night, and let the people in the village come to say goodbye.

Then go to cremation the next morning.

Mrs. Jiang's body was placed on a wooden bed and covered with a white cloth.

The front is the only photo of the old lady in her life.

There is also a bottle of incense burner.

Almost all the villagers came, one after another, to kowtow to Mrs. Jiang's body.

No one would have thought that the person who was basking in the sun yesterday would suddenly disappear today.

In addition to lamenting the impermanence of the world, it is full of pity and reluctance.

Who doesn't say a word, Mrs. Jiang, she is a good person!

Nuan Bao knelt beside the corpse without saying a word.

You can vaguely see grandma's face under the white cloth.

She was still as peaceful as she was asleep.

But just think about it, in the early morning, grandma will be cremated, and Nuan Bao can't stand it no matter what.

She wanted to cry, to yell, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't make a sound, only tears fell.

The eyes are swollen like walnuts.

Early morning
The car for the crematorium has arrived.

Many strangers came in, holding white cloth bags to hold the old man's body.

Nuanbao paused.

Immediately, the little girl seemed to have gone crazy, and rushed over desperately, pushing those strangers away.

Open your arms and protect your grandma, "No, please don't take my grandma away, I beg you—"

Li Hongxiu and Teacher Yang pulled Nuanbao while crying.

The little girl didn't know where the strength came from.

Throwing away the two of them, "Don't take my grandma away, I don't have a grandma anymore, I don't have a grandma anymore, I don't want to be without a grandma..."

The tone of voice has changed.

Li Hongxiu hugged Nuan Bao, "Good boy, good baby, don't you have the heart not to let grandma die in peace? Grandma loves you the most..."

Being on guard, Nuan Bao, who was tense all over, suddenly went limp.

She slowly pushed Li Hongxiu away and walked in front of the crematorium staff.

Bow deeply.

The voice was watery, "Please, don't mess up my grandma's clothes and hair, because... because she doesn't like mess the most, you... slow down, don't hurt my grandma, my grandma I always like to bear it, no matter how painful it is, I don’t say anything..."

Everyone present was in tears.

Nuan Bao watched helplessly as they put grandma into a narrow white bag, and the two of them easily carried grandma out.

Boss Jiang, Dad Xiangxiang, and Zhou Shengli followed.

Li Hongxiu covered Nuan Bao's eyes, "Don't look, don't look."

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the engine from outside came in.

Nuan Bao pushed her mother away.

He rushed out, "Grandma—"

By the time she ran out, the car had already left.

Nuan Bao cried and chased after her, "Grandma, I regret it, come back—"

Fourth Jiang chased after him.

Nuan Bao watched Jiang Lao Si burst into tears like rain, and wailed loudly.

Fourth Jiang gently hugged Nuan Bao, "Nuan Bao, father has no mother anymore."

"Father, Nuan Bao no longer has a grandma."

The father and daughter cried together.

After five o'clock, Boss Jiang came back with the urn in his arms, and the coffin also arrived. The urn was placed in the coffin, and white candles were lit in the whole main room.

The flames flickered.

It was very similar to Mrs. Jiang's swaying life.

Burning to the end, the flame jumped, quietly and slowly extinguished, without disturbing anyone.

The funeral was held, and the old lady was buried in peace.

For a lifetime, I returned a handful of loess.

-

the sixteenth day of the first lunar month
Mr. Jiang brought Jiang Song to Mingyue Village.

Jiang Song asked at the entrance of the village, "Grandpa and grandma, do you know how to get to Jiang's fourth family?"

The old people basking in the sun looked at the two grandchildren in suits and leather shoes one after another.

Asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Jiang Song snorted, and hurriedly said, "We are friends of Fourth Uncle Jiang. We came from the imperial capital. It's our first time here. It's quite strange."

An old lady pointed in the direction, "Go straight from here until you see the Mingyue Village brigade, then turn right, and you will see a large field. Walk straight a few meters from the telephone pole with the horn hanging on it."

Jiang Song thanked him again and again.

He and Mr. Jiang went in the direction the fellow said.

On the way, Jiang Song asked, "Grandpa, are you in such a hurry to find Fourth Uncle Jiang?"

The old man snorted coldly, "Are you still pretending to be me? You really don't know? If you didn't guess Ding Mao, I guess you can't beg for nothing to come with me."

Jiang Song embarrassedly scratched the back of his head.

The grandparents and grandchildren followed suit.

Finally found the gate.

However, when I looked up suddenly, what I saw was a floating white flag, a white couplet pasted on the door, and a "mourning" filled in black and white in the middle.
