Some people ran out with their bowls in their hands and stood at the door to listen. Where did the sound of firecrackers come from?
"It's not even the New Year yet, and there's no wedding in the village, so why are you setting off fireworks?"
"That's right, the noise doesn't sound like it's coming from here!"
"Hey, why does this look so much like the educated youth camp?"
Captain Lu also ran out of the house, and several people standing on the road hurriedly ran to Captain Lu: "Captain, what's going on?
Could it be someone's elderly person who passed away?"
Unless it is a festival, if someone sets off firecrackers in the middle of the night or early in the morning, it usually means someone in the village has died.
Everyone listened carefully to the location of the firecrackers: "It sounds like it's over there at the educated youth site, it can't be..."
Some aunts slapped their thighs and said, "Oh my God, could it be that Mrs. Fang has passed away?"
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned their eyes to Captain Lu.
Old Lady Fang’s status was obvious, and in the past, no one dared to get close to her.
Later, whenever there were children in the village who were frightened or scared, they would ask her for help.
In addition, Lu Zhiye had climbed to a very high position, and everyone gradually accepted this kind of identity.
Captain Lu took off his hat and sighed: "Let's go and see what's going on!"
As the saying goes, funerals come uninvited. No matter how big the grudges were in the past, when the old man really reaches that stage, people in the village will rush to help.
Old Mrs. Fang had no relatives around her. When Yan Wenqing came back, she announced to the public that she was Old Mrs. Fang's daughter who had been away for many years.
Xiao An was naturally registered under Old Lady Fang's household registration.
His surname is also the same as Old Lady Fang, so on the surface, he is the grandson raised by her.
Now, he is the only male in the family, so the task of reporting the death naturally falls on Xiao An's shoulders.
Yan Wenqing was busy preparing the old lady's remains at home. Two elderly people who were about the same age as Old Lady Fang asked their family members to pull a cart and bring them over as soon as they heard the noise.
Yan Wenqing burst into tears, and the two old ladies also shed tears when they saw this scene.
Seeing Yan Wenqing lying on the old lady crying bitterly, the two old people quickly reached out and grabbed her arms.
They pulled her back from the left and right: "My daughter, your mother is gone. Don't let your tears fall on her while you are sorting out your clothes."
As the old saying goes, the tears of children are as heavy as a thousand pounds, and when they fall on the deceased, she will not be able to rest in peace.
Yan Wenqing believed in this, and the old lady took a big step back without even having to exert any effort.
He knelt on the ground and started crying.
Before long, all the strong laborers in the village arrived.
Some people were still holding bowls in their hands. I guess they ran too fast and forgot that they were holding something.
Old Mrs. Fang’s situation is special, as she has almost no relatives within the fifth degree of mourning.
Someone asked Captain Lu in a low voice: "Captain, although there are no relatives of the old lady in our village.
But her son is still alive after all, so the incident of carrying banners and breaking pots will not happen to her."
When an old person in the village dies, the eldest son and grandson are given priority.
If the eldest son is not around, the eldest grandson will break the pot.
When all of them are gone, it will be the second one’s turn!
Those who have daughters but no sons will basically let their nephews break the pot.
This also means that most of the family property was given to the nephew.
Captain Lu was also upset. He scratched his head and said to Secretary He, "What do you think we should do about this?"
Everyone was discussing this, and finally, an older man suggested, "Why don't we go and tell her son first?
Come if you want to, and if you don’t want to come, let your daughter do it for you.”
Captain Lu thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.
At this time, no matter how good the relationship between Lu Zhiye and Old Lady Fang was, he couldn't get a word in.
I could only take the initiative to say to Captain Lu: "I'll go to their village..."
To be honest, Captain Lu didn't want Lu Zhiye to go because he had met Mrs. Fang's son.
After the accident involving Old Lady Fang, her family kicked her out of the house, which shows that this family is not a good group of people.
If they really don't want to come, I'm afraid Lu Zhiye will tie them up and bring them here...
Seeing the determination in Lu Zhiye's eyes, Captain Lu sighed and said, "Then go ahead. I'll let Dachuan go with you."
As for Yan Wenqing and the others, when the time comes, they will retreat a little, and the people in the village will move forward, so that Old Lady Fang’s son will not be able to tell who is who.
Lu Chuan quickly ran to the brigade to drive the tractor, shouting at the top of his voice: "Dad, I don't know which village Grandma Fang's son is in?"
Captain Lu glared and said, "Oh my god, he forgot too!"
The place where Old Mrs. Fang got married was not in their commune, and it was at least three hills away.
"Do you remember?"
Captain Lu turned his head to look at Secretary He, who was puffing on a cigarette and thought for a while before he gave a location: "Is it Dalui Village?
I remember it was this location. When Mrs. Fang moved her household registration back, this was also what was written on it.”
"Oh, I'll go back to the brigade headquarters and check the files!"
As he spoke, Captain Lu rushed towards the brigade headquarters in a hurry.
It was exactly as Secretary He said, except that the village had the same name as another village, so it was changed to Xiaoliu Village.
Lu Chuan found out the location and drove his tractor straight towards there.
We went there in the morning and arrived at Xiaoliu Village at 1:00 p.m.
The village was quiet. It was cold in winter and the body needed to consume more calories. Some people only ate two meals a day and spent most of the day lying in bed.
It is rare to see a scene like in Dahe Village where many people gather around a fire at the entrance of the village.
Some people were lying on the bed eating melon seeds when they suddenly heard the sound of a tractor. They were surprised and asked the people around them: "Why do I hear a tractor coming to our village?
The tractor from our village went to the county town today? ? "
“No, the tractor was frozen and couldn’t start a few days ago, so it just stayed there.
The team leader said that he would ask the people from the agricultural machinery station to come and repair it after the New Year. "
"Who is this then? Come on, let's go out and take a look!"
Middle-aged men and women put on their clothes and walked out with big strides.
Such scenes are happening in almost every household.
Everyone stuck their heads out of the door and saw two young men they didn't recognize.
I thought they were just passing by Xiaoliu Village, but I didn't expect the man driving the tractor to stop the car directly.
Captain Liu knocked his pipe against the ground and put it on his waist.
With his hands in his sleeves, he walked towards the village entrance step by step.
He looked at the two unfamiliar young men and asked in confusion, "Hey, guys, who are you looking for?"
