Chapter 2302 (2 updates

There are three major events in life: birth, marriage, and death. Happy events such as the birth of a child can be said to be careless, but weddings and funerals are the most important and the easiest to offend people.

Because there were some errands to do at home and there were a lot of things to be busy with later, Le Yun didn’t waste any time and took her brother upstairs. She changed her brother into a crow-green windbreaker with a straw rope tied around his waist, and she also changed into it. Wearing black clothes, tied with a straw rope.

Then prepared a red envelope and put it in a backpack with double shoulder straps.

After packing it up, he took his younger brother and followed Zhou Man Grandpa set off.

Lan San was a full-time driver.

Master Lei lived in the direction of Liuzhen, adjacent to Jiudao. Most of the roads were urban and rural roads, and Bentley cars The chassis is high, so there is no problem in driving.

The village where Mr. Lei lives is still a natural road, and four-wheeled cars can go there.

The Bentley drove on a road with some potholes. After driving about one thousand meters on a natural road, we entered a small village with a population of only about 200 people. The village is very green and has many trees.

Village Chief Zhou pointed the way, and the car was in a relatively wide area. After parking the car, Lan San was waiting in the car.

Village chief Zhou took the Le family siblings along a foot-wide road, bypassing several houses, and arrived at Master Lei's house.< br />
Mr. Lei’s house is a two-story building, very grand. There are two camphor trees planted in front of the house, a walled yard and a gold-painted gate. There is also a big yellow dog sleeping in front of the house.< br />
The big yellow dog barked at strangers, barking and wagging its tail at the Le family siblings.

As soon as the dog barked, the owner came out of the house, and Master Lei Wu He is more than ten years old, wearing a leather jacket and a dog-skin hat. His mother-in-law is a fat woman, wearing a thin woolen coat with floral patterns.

Master Lei recognized him as Village Chief Zhou, laughing He said hello and asked people to sit in the house.

Village chief Zhou responded, entered the yard, and walked less than four meters to the door of the small building.

Walking to Master Lei and his wife, Le Yun knelt down and kowtowed first.

When Leshan saw her sister kneeling down, she also knelt down with a plop, kneeling on the cement floor in front of Lei’s house. Go up and kowtow to the end.

Whoever has a funeral, a filial son and a filial grandson must kowtow when he invites his master. If he is not a filial son and his grandson, he does not need to kowtow when he invites others.

Master Lei is A well-known master, he has also been to Jiudao and met the Lejia girl.

He recognized the Lejia girl. He had seen the Lejia sister and brother wearing straw ropes around their waists before, so he did not say hello, but was happy. The siblings kowtowed according to local custom, and they quickly helped the Le family siblings up with their wives.

"Get up, it's hard for you siblings to have such filial piety. The Lejia girl built a school, donated books, and donated equipment to the hospital to save people. Her merits are immeasurable."

General Lei The Le family siblings helped them up, their expressions changed, and they were grateful. One of his grandsons is in kindergarten and will go to elementary school in the second half of the year. He has enjoyed the blessing of a one-stop donation from the Le family girls from kindergarten to junior high school. Also, because the kindergarten has books and computers. The little grandson who used to be naughty and noisy became very interested in musical instruments and became much more sensible.

The girl from the Le family was so kind to the whole town. If it weren't for the fact that she came to the Lei family as a filial son and grandson, he would have welcomed the distinguished guests from afar, and he would not have dared to accept her great gift.

"Master Lei, you are very polite. I only did what I thought I should do." Le Yun stood up, took out the red envelope and handed it over: "My aunt died unfortunately early in her life. I want to pick her up tomorrow." My aunt's remains have been returned to her hometown to lay her to rest. The Le family has invited Master Lei and other masters to go to the Le family tomorrow morning to conduct a water and land dojo."

I shed tears. Miss Le and Xiao Leshan expressed their condolences and accepted the change." Master Lei accepted the red envelope and agreed: "Don't worry, we have taken over this matter, and you brothers and sisters don't have to go to invite people one by one. Village Chief Zhou mentioned it to me, and I also told my companions that when you come, I will invite a team of ours. We will go there tomorrow morning and guarantee that we will not miss you.

The Le family has to do something simple and needs to prepare in advance. There are a lot of trivial things. You siblings should go back first to sort things out."

"Okay, I will take the little ones back right now and leave other things to you. This is for Master Lei." Village Chief Zhou was not polite and gave Master Lei a pack of cigarettes.

"Don't worry, I, Old Lei, keep my word." Master Lei took the cigarette readily, leaving no one to sit down, and sent the three of them off.

He sent the people out of the yard and stayed, waiting for Village Chief Zhou to take the Le family siblings along the road and turned around, then turned back to the yard and went into the house to open the red envelope.

The red envelope Miss Le packed was very thick, containing three thousand six hundred and sixty-six dollars.

Masters have rules for what they do. One person is one thousand six hundred for the water and land dojo, and eight hundred for an ordinary funeral. The price is clearly marked, so no one can be deceived.

If the host is generous, after the funeral, cigarettes, meat, wine, etc. will be given to the masters.

The number of people in the master team is usually one to play the drum, one to play the gong, one to play the trumpet, and one to play the cymbal. They are also called the Four Vajras or the Four Arhats.

The cymbal is a Taoist instrument, similar to a round straw hat. There is a small ring on the protruding round head. When using it, the small ring is usually placed on the thumb or index finger, and the other four fingers are used. Holding it, the left and right hands each hold a cymbal and collide with each other to make a sound.

Hi-hat means "joking and irresponsible" in the proverb of some places.In the folk funeral team, playing cymbals is very particular and there are many rules. If you don't do it well, you will make unpleasant and harsh sounds. If you don't learn it well, you won't be able to become a master, and you won't be able to be a master.

It is said that during a funeral, the master who plays the cymbals will know whether the owner's family is going well, whether the family is safe, and whether the animals are prosperous.

Master Lei’s magical weapon is a copper cymbal. He looked at the red envelope, went to get his own magical weapon, burned a handful of paper in front of the ancestor’s tablet in the middle hall, took the cymbals and played the divination again.

His mother-in-law looked at the divination, one yin and one yang, which was very good. The gray on the paper money was all white, which was also a good sign.

Master Lei made a divination, put the magic weapon in a cloth bag, and hung it on the left side of the ancestral altar in the middle hall. He then used his mobile phone to call his companions and told them to go to Lejia in Meicun tomorrow. Get to work.

His friends readily agreed and made an appointment for departure time and where to meet.

Village Chief Zhou took the little boy out of Lei's house, returned directly to the parking place, got in the car and returned to the village.

Handsome guy Lan returned to Plum Village along the same route, with his car still in the garage.

Village Chief Zhou went to Lejia again, and caught the little boy to discuss some details of the funeral. The kitchen was set in the backyard of the south building of Lejia, because the coffin was to be placed in the living room on the first floor of the north building, and the coffin was very delicate. The man is on the left and the woman is on the right. The coffin is placed right next to the food room and the kitchen. The kitchen will not be available from tomorrow afternoon.

The door to the food room is also blocked and cannot be used then. Some ingredients must be moved to the kitchen of the south building for storage in advance. The kitchen is built in the backyard of the south building, and it is also convenient to access the ingredients.

The living rooms on the second floor of the south and north buildings are set up for banquets, and about ten tables are expected to be set up at Grandma Zhou’s house.

The old man and the young man discussed and planned the funeral arrangements. Village Chief Zhou made a list of things to borrow, who needed to be invited, who would cook, who would carry the coffin, and who would be the pawns. Errand workers are responsible for serving food and wine, who washes dishes, etc.

Grandpa Zhou Man was making a list, calculating what items to purchase. Le Yun also made a list to Handsome Lan, and asked him and Mr. Li to fly a helicopter to the county town to purchase, and asked Mr. Yi Laoyan to Help tidy up the living room on the second floor.

Lan San received the mission and happily flew the helicopter. He took Mr. Li to the county, parked the plane in a public square, and then went to the supermarket to purchase. The two of them wiped out two families. Milk, bagged candy, biscuits and other foods in supermarkets.

Veteran Yi Laoyan moved all the furniture in the living room on the second floor of the North and South Buildings to the guest room for storage. He also put away some calligraphy and paintings, leaving a few for decoration.

It wouldn’t be too late to tidy up the living room on the first floor at noon tomorrow.

Le Yun first moved the large bookcase and other large items from the living room on the second floor of the north building, and then went downstairs to carry the ingredients with Le’s father and Aunt Feng to the kitchen of the south building.After running more than a dozen times, my uncle and aunt also arrived.

Chen Kang and Zhou Wei knew that Xiao Lele buried Le Ya during the Qingming Festival, so they also returned to their hometown early. They set off yesterday evening and took the high-speed train to Yishi, and then transferred to Jiudao.

The old couple brought only simple luggage. When they arrived at Lejia, they saw that their nephew's family was busy. When they heard that a big event was going to be held, their eyes became red and they kept saying that it should be done.

The couple took a break and went to help.

Leshan couldn’t help, so he went to study on the third floor of the south building by himself so as not to become a hindrance.

It took the old and young men more than two hours to sort out their belongings, and then they had time to talk. Before they had rested for an hour, the handsome guy Lan San came back, and he was busy again.

The items brought back by the handsome blue guy are temporarily placed in the warehouse. Most of the grain in the warehouse has been taken away, and there is enough space to store the items.

After I finished moving the items, it was almost evening.

Le Yun waited until it was getting dark and took her younger brother to kowtow at the homes of the neighbors who were expected to invite help.

When people in rural areas hold funerals, they will hire a supervisor, and the funeral expenses will be handed over to the supervisor for arrangements. Then they don’t have to worry about trivial matters and just kowtow.

When you ask for help at a funeral, you must send someone to kowtow, whether it is a relative, a relative, friend or neighbor who can help. Anyway, people will not come if you don’t kowtow. As long as there is someone Go and kowtow. Unless the person who is invited really has something to do and cannot get away, otherwise he will help no matter how busy he is.

Le Yun took her younger brother, starting from Grandma Zhou’s house, then to Zhang Poluo’s house and the three houses around Zhang’s house, kowtowing one by one, and then detoured to Chen Dalian’s house and Chen Dalu home, then go to Aunt Pa's house, Zhou Qi and several other families named Zhou.

Then he went around to the houses of Liu Lu and Liu Lu’s cousins, then to Cheng Youde’s house, and ran in a circle around the village.

Brother Zhou had not yet finished his work when the Le family siblings came to ask for help. When he returned home, he heard from his old mother that Xiao Lele had brought Leshan to the house to kowtow and said that he wanted to hold a funeral for her aunt and invited them and his wife to go. Help, I passed Lejia without even changing my clothes.

Go to Lejia to ask my sister and brother-in-law when things will be done and what they need to do. After asking clearly, I go back to my home to change clothes and eat.

In the Zhou family, Liu family, Zhang family and other families, some of the principals were not at home, and the elderly or women were at home. They kowtowed to the Le family siblings, and when the principal came back, they also asked the Le family to ask people to help. Everything was explained clearly.

The middle-aged people from each family did not refuse. After dinner, they went to Lejia to visit the village chief Zhou to report their errands.

The neighbors were so enthusiastic, Chen Kang was filled with emotion, this is all XiaoleThanks to Le, she is friendly to her neighbors, so she sows good and reaps good.
