Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

When Zhou Huaimin was taken away, Zhou Guilan was only eight years old, and her younger sister was only three years old.

Nine years later, the Zhou family was in complete decline.

In order to marry Zhou Guilan's third brother, Zhou Ansheng, Jiang's second daughter was married to Xu's family in the silver mine, and she pawned Xu Chenghou's house as fill-in house.

After changing a lot of dowry money, he turned around and married his third son a daughter-in-law.

Later, the devils withdrew and there was another war in Kuandian, so Jiang took her three sons and the youngest daughter to Fusong to join the eldest daughter.

A few years later, Xu Chenghou and his wife couldn't get along in the silver mine, so they received a letter from Mrs. Jiang asking them to go to Fusong too.

For this reason, a whole family of brothers and sisters came here.

The team funded by Zhou Huaimin back then became the Anti-Japanese League, and it is said that some people became big cadres.

So in the past five or so years, the higher-ups sent a working group to live in Zhou's house for half a year to make contributions to Zhou Huaimin.

But at that time, the Jiang family and Zhou Anping had been terrified after experiencing the troubled times. How could they dare to believe it?

No matter how much people persuaded, they just refused to nod.

The working group stayed here for half a year without any results, and then left.

In the 1960s, Zhou Anping did not know where he got a newspaper with the names of a group of cadres in the capital, and there was a man named Zhou Huaimin.

At this moment, Jiang Shi was in a state of confusion, and had to say that it was her husband.

It is said that Zhou Huaimin is prosperous, married another daughter-in-law in the capital and started a family, and he abandoned his wife and children and did not want her.

In this way, Jiang gradually became delirious, with good times and bad times.

When it's good, it's almost like a normal person, but when it's bad, don't mention it, all kinds of work.

They put chili peppers in the kang holes to burn, yelled to smoke yellow skins, or ran around the street with disheveled hair, scolding her husband for being heartless while running, and leaving her to enjoy the blessings.

Anyway, in those years, Jiang's work was very good. Zhou Anping and Zhou Anfu stayed by their mother's side and suffered a lot.

Only Zhou Ansheng, he moved out of town, quieter.

Mrs. Jiang has been working for these years, and she has done a lot of things to hang herself, but no one thought that she really died this time.

It's also very mysterious to say that Jiang's house has a window, and two nails are driven into the two corners of the window frame.

Jiang took a piece of sack string and tied it to two nails. When he put his head up, he lost his breath.

When Zhou Anping found out, everyone was cold, how can he save him? I can only inform my younger siblings, let's do the funeral.

Zhou Guilan and the others cried for a while, and were persuaded to get up by the helpers, and sat down beside them.

Hearing my elder brother and sister-in-law talk about my mother's dying, in the end, I could only let out a long sigh.

"Hey, this is fate. Who would have thought that a sack line could kill someone?"

Indeed, Mrs. Jiang lived to eighty-three, and it was fine to hang herself all day long. How could she want to die on a sack line in the end?

Mrs. Jiang passed away in the morning. In the Northeast, this is called three days.

The weather is hot at this time, and three days of tossing about the funeral is really enough.

Fortunately, the birthday materials were prepared long ago, not to mention the shrouds, the Jiang family has been preparing for more than ten years.

Every New Year's Eve, she still wears it once.

Zhou Anping hired a carpenter to collect the birthday materials, paint them, draw patterns on them, and make a big show. According to the local custom, before every meal, he took the Zhou family's children and grandchildren to deliver soup.

Xu Shiyan and others kept watch at night, and had to help with the funeral during the day, and just like that, two days passed.

On the morning of the third day, the body was buried, the coffin was sealed, and the children and grandchildren cried and sent each other off.

Eight strong young men lifted the coffin and carried it to the mountain for burial according to the pre-selected location.

The Zhou family prepared a banquet here, thanking relatives and friends for their help.

After the meal, the friends who helped each other dispersed, leaving only the bookkeeper, Da Zhangluo, and the Zhou family to settle the accounts.

The brothers settled the accounts clearly, and the old lady is no longer here, and the affairs behind must be cleared up.

These years, red and white weddings and weddings are held, and those who give less money are all given things.

To do white affairs, ordinary friends are just a few knives of paper, but for better friends, most of them have a tent besides paper, which is black cloth and white cloth.

The bookkeeper collected all the gifts received in the past few days and all kinds of expenses, and reported to the three brothers Zhou Anping.

The money for the funeral was all taken from Zhou Anping. Now that the accounts are out, the three brothers must share them equally.

According to local customs, daughters are not divided into family property, and the daughters are not required to pay for the funeral of the elderly.

The only thing is that the money for digging the coffin has to be paid by the daughter.

Of course, this is not much money, Zhou Guilan, sister Zhou Guizhi, and younger sister Zhou Guiyun, ten yuan each is enough.

The three brothers of the Zhou family were okay, and settled the accounts in a friendly manner.

The second child, Zhou Anfu, and the third child, Zhou Ansheng, both gave money to the boss.

In this regard, the funeral of the old man has come to an end. Then there will be three days to round the grave and burn Wuqi.

"You brothers and sisters go back, you don't need to stay here with us, your mother and I are fine, we're all fine."

Everything here was dealt with clearly. Xu Chenghou called his five sons to him and told them to go home separately.

The boss, the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth all go to work, so it is not good to take too long a leave.

The second child and the third child have to keep an eye on the farm, and the third child still has a lot of work to do, so it is not good to delay it any longer.

"We'll wait until the grave is completed before going back. Just now your uncle and the others also said that the first seven will not be burned, only the fifth and seventh.

Let's come again when we wait for the five-seventh and hundred-day burns. "

According to local rules, when someone passes away, it is generally the funeral, round grave, May 7th, 100th day, anniversary, and third anniversary, which are more important.

In some places, more attention is paid to the first seven, but most of them do not burn the first seven.

As the old saying goes, the first seven have to be done, and the next seven have to be done, and no one can afford it, so most of them burn Wuqi.

If there are five sons in the family, you can't burn Wuqi, you have to burn Sanqi.

At this time, every household is busy, and no one can stay here for seven or eight days, and leave whenever they need to.

Xu Shiyan and the others are all grandchildren, so it's not bad for this sake, no one cares about it.

"Father, mother, let's go back first, you two will stay here for a few more days, and it happens that my third uncle and aunt also rarely come back to get together.

Dad, look at my mother, don't let her cry all the time, it's not good to cry too much. "

The six brothers and sisters of the Xu family saw that it was getting late, and there was no car to go back any later.

The crowd didn't bother, and they left together after exhorting their parents a few words.

The six siblings broke up at the bridge, Xu Shide crossed the river and headed north, and the remaining five siblings walked to Xianren Bridge.

At Xianrenqiao Railway Station, Xu Shiyan, Xu Shian, and Xu Shiqin went to buy train tickets, and the three of them took the train back to Songjianghe.

But Xu Shixian and Xu Shixiang took the bus on Xianren Bridge to Fusong, and they arrived at the county first.

If there is a car going to Xinglong, Xu Shixiang will go back directly, if not, Xu Shixiang will stay in the county for one night and return to Xinglong tomorrow.

"Brother, Fifth, you two, pay attention on the road, it's not peaceful at this time, so be careful."

The past few years have not been the same, there is chaos outside, especially passenger cars, there are really road robbers.

Fortunately, the two brothers didn't bring much money with them, so there should be no problem.

The four brothers left, Xu Shiyan took the express train with his second elder brother and sixth younger sister, and wandered back to Songjiang River together.

Xu Shi'an Sentie, Xu Shiqin went to the store, and Xu Shiyan went home.

"Second brother-in-law, you are back. Someone will always come to your house to look for you these days."

As soon as Xu Shiyan entered the door, Su Anhua hurriedly said.
