Chapter 120: The Last Side
Xiao Yu's father and son stayed at Grandma Wang's house for about two hours before saying goodbye to everyone and leaving, but this night was destined to be unpeaceful.
Before dawn the next day, Xiao Yu was sleeping soundly on the hot kang, but he heard a quick knock on the door outside, and then Xiao Qiang muttered a few words to someone outside, and then closed the door and left in a hurry.
"Is something wrong?" Xiao Yu propped himself up and looked out the window, but it was dark outside and he couldn't see anything, so Xiao Yu fell down and took a nap for a while, but then he heard a cry.
Xiao Yu turned over and got up, put on his clothes as quickly as he could, and then ran out, and when he came to the door of Grandma Wang's house, he saw several young people carrying a coffin from a distance! At Grandma Wang's house, the door was wide open, and a group of people kept going in and out, looking very busy.
After a person dies, the first thing is to take a bath and wipe the body and wear the shroud, which must be carried out at the first time of the person's death, otherwise when the person is stiff, the body is stiff, and the shroud cannot be put on, and these jobs must be done by the children of the elderly.
Xiao Yu walked quickly into Grandma Wang's house, and saw Xiao Qiang writing something there, Xiao Yu knew that he should be recording some things that needed to be bought, because this person died suddenly, so nothing was prepared, even the coffin was borrowed from other families, and after the incident, he was looking for a craftsman to redo a pair for other old people, of course, this needs to be fired.
"Xiao Yu, why are you here, don't stand anywhere to block the way" Xiao Qiang shouted.
Xiao Yu came to Xiao Qiang's side and looked at the things Xiao Qiang wrote, most of them were some white cloths, as well as things in incense and candles, although these things would be brought by the mourners later, but the head of the family still had to prepare more, as for those sedan chairs, as well as boys and virgins, all of them need to be prepared by their children, and the wreaths are sent by better friends.
"Hey, I really let you say it right, now you know a little bit of these things in the village, your uncle also told me in the morning, let you help take care of it, you see what you need to buy, I will also bring it" Xiao Qiang said to Xiao Yu while writing down the things he wanted to buy.
"I don't need anything, everything is available," Xiao Yu said.
"Okay, now they're wiping the old man's body, you can't help here, you better go back, the person who sings filial piety at night is coming, you're coming."
"Dad, are you going to town?" Xiao Yu said.
"Well, now there is no one to help in the village, I have a motorcycle, let's run first" After Xiao Qiang finished speaking, he rolled up the list and put it in his pocket, just like walking outside.
"Dad, the road is slippery on this snowy day, you drive slowly, remember to wear gloves," Xiao Yu advised.
"Got it, go back quickly, don't stand here."
After Xiao Qiang left, the people who borrowed the coffin had already carried the coffin in, and then supported it with two benches, put the coffin on it, and then spread a white cloth on top of the coffin.
Xiao Yu looked at it for a while, and was about to go home, not wanting to just walk out, but saw a person he didn't want to see the most, Xiao Xue.
Speaking of Xiao Xue, I am afraid that everyone in the village knows this girl, because the other party is not only beautiful, but also has a violent temper, and when she fights, it is even more brave, even some junior high school boys are afraid of her, and Xiao Yu is a little holiday with her, so she usually walks around when she is seen.
Xiao Xue was also stunned when she saw Xiao Yu coming out of it, but then she grabbed Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu saw this, and hurriedly hid back, but his reaction was still half a beat slower, and Xiao Xue immediately grabbed the back padded jacket.
"Xiao Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you very famous now?" Xiao Xue stared at Xiao Yu, revealing a cynical attitude.
"Hehe, Sister Xiao Xue, you too, I haven't seen you for half a year, and you have become more beautiful."
When Xiao Xue heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but let go of Xiao Yu's clothes and said, "Yes, your mouth has become sweet, but even if your mouth is sweet, it's useless, I said that I saw you once and hit once, are you ready today?" ”
When Xiao Yu heard this, he was clever, and couldn't help but take two steps back and said, "Sister Xiao Xue, I didn't mean to see you go to the toilet, you squatted in the cornfield, everyone saw it, why did you catch me?" ”
"Shut up, I'll catch you and don't let go, you bite me?" Xiao Xue's face turned red, her hands were crossed on her waist, and she pointed at Xiao Yu and scolded in a low voice.
Xiao Yu's first reaction now was to run, but he also knew that he was wearing like a zongzi now, how could he run past this long-legged woman, so he had to find a way.
And at this moment, there was a sudden cry at Grandma Wang's house, and Xiao Yu knew that this was Grandma Wang's coffin! So he was also busy crying and walked to Grandma Wang's coffin.
"Grandma Wang, if you leave, who will make me delicious food in the future, Grandma Wang, ........"
Xiao Yu cried very sadly, which made Xiao Xue a little moved, he followed Xiao Yu, glanced at the door, and then hurriedly retracted his head, after all, he was a girl, he had never seen this meeting, if it wasn't for his father's help today, she would have followed her curiously, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to meet Xiao Yu.
Grandma Wang was wearing a shroud and was carried by his son, the daughters-in-law behind her cried together, and the two granddaughters followed behind the adults, sobbing non-stop.
Xiao Yu knelt on the edge of the coffin, crying while secretly looking at Xiao Xue, he saw that Xiao Xue was gone, and was about to slip away quickly, but he didn't want to see Grandma Wang being carried out of it, at this time Xiao Yu's nose was sore, and he couldn't help sobbing again, at this time Xiao Yu was not pretending, but really feeling sad.
"Hmph, this little thing, pretending, trying to lie to me, I'll see how long you can cry" Xiao Xue stood at the door, listening to Xiao Yu's voice, and couldn't help but snort coldly.
Speaking of the grievances between Xiao Yu and Xiao Xue, it has to start from a year ago, when the corn was harvested, Xiao Yu and a group of children were playing hide and seek in the field, but they didn't want to catch up with Xiao Xue who had diarrhea at that time, and there was no toilet in the field, so she hid in the cornfield for convenience, and Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu happened to collide with Xiao Xue in the cornfield, so they had a grudge now.
At that time, Xiao Xue said that in the future, I saw Xiao Yu fight once and again until he was out of sight, and this incident became a joke in the village at that time, and many old people and children knew about it.
"Xiao Yu, get up, your Grandma Wang didn't hurt you in vain, get up quickly" Grandma Wang's daughter-in-law sobbed.
was pulled by Aunt Li, Xiao Yu hurriedly kowtowed three times, and then stood up, but a pair of eyes were already red.
"Aunt Li, Grandma Wang will definitely be reincarnated in a good family in her next life, don't be sad."
"Well, Aunt Li knows! By the way, you came suddenly last night, do you know that your grandmother Wang was leaving last night? ”。
Aunt Li suddenly thought of Xiao Yu's visit to the house last night, coupled with Xiao Yu's ability, she had already guessed something, so she hurriedly asked.
Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "No, I just haven't seen Grandma Wang for a long time, so I wanted to come and see it, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen."
Although Xiao Yu is small, he is not stupid, a good living person, if he says that people are dying, then he has nothing to do, and if he encounters those who are irritable, it is estimated that a beating is indispensable.
