Master Qi told everyone a time and they all nodded in understanding.
Seeing someone coming in from outside, Master Qi apologized and went forward to greet him.
Everyone gave gifts at the accounting desk. Liu Gang and others gave two yuan each, and Xiao Jianping did the same.
Only Li Xu and Su Weidong gave one yuan.
This also made the accountant stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect this group of people to give so much.
In fact, this is also the unspoken rule of their car team. Since the salary is high and everyone has a good relationship, they always give more gifts.
If it were an outsider, people would naturally not give so much.
As his apprentice, Xiao Jianping naturally has to be on par with others.
There is no need for Li Xu and Su Weidong to give so much.
After paying the gift money, everyone went back into the house and bowed to the coffin.
The person kneeling next to him also bowed in return.
Then everyone stood in the yard for a while.
Only then did I realize that the middle-aged man with a bruised face and nose was Master Qi's younger brother.
He was also hit in the face by Master Qi. Fortunately, he was pulled away by many relatives, otherwise he might have been beaten to death.
After standing for a while, everyone said goodbye to Master Qi.
Master Qi also escorted everyone out the door.
When we got home, the others had already started eating.
Li Mei poured a bowl of rice and handed it over. "Why did you come back just now? Did you suddenly go out again?"
Everyone looked at him with confusion.
Li Xu took the rice and sighed, then told the story again. After that, he turned and asked, "Dad, have you sent the furniture to my aunt's house?"
People are now almost accustomed to death. You can hear about someone's death every other day.
So there was no reaction.
Li Jiakang took a mouthful of rice and swallowed it before saying, "I sent it over. I found a few carts, but those people don't want money, they just want food. I had no choice but to give them two pounds of coarse grain from home."
"Just give it to me. It's not an easy task to carry so many things from here to my aunt's house. What do my aunt's family say?"
Nowadays, people who can pull carts make a living by selling their labor, and it is definitely not easy for them to carry so many pieces of furniture over such a long distance, so two kilograms of coarse grains is quite cost-effective.
Sun Xiu responded with a smile, "I heard from your father that your aunt's family is very happy, and now they have also got the gun."
They had told Tang Yuan and his wife about this when they went to deliver food, and asked them to find a way to get a gun to keep at home for protection.
They listened to the advice and went to get one directly.
"That's fine. By the way, Mom, I won't have breakfast tomorrow. I have to go to the funeral and I have to get up early."
"Xiao Xu, how about I steam some buns later? You can eat them directly tomorrow morning. It's okay to eat them cold in this weather."
Sun Xiu also said, "Gui Lan's method is good, let's do it together later."
"Mom, sister-in-law, I think it's too much trouble for you. It's okay to skip a meal."
Hu Guilan laughed. "What's the big deal? We can just eat steamed buns tomorrow morning. I'll make some porridge then."
Everyone said that this was a good idea.
After dinner, Sun Xiu and the other person got busy.
Li Xu played with Li Ju for a while and then went to Du Hong's house.
As soon as they met, Du Hong was surprised and asked, "Why are you darker again?"
Li Xu was shameless and said, "I'm just trying to make you look whiter."
"Puchi." Du Ming and others in the room couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Du Feng also teased Du Hong, "Little sister, look how much they care about you."
"Of course, this is my fiancé, he must be thinking about me." Although Du Hong's face was flushed, she still said this.
The others in the room nodded in agreement.
Li Xu grinned and asked Du Feng, "Brother Feng, how's your blind date going?"
Hearing this, the smile on Du Feng's face froze.
Yang Li explained, "He still hasn't found anyone he's satisfied with during this period. The situation is so serious now, so we didn't arrange any blind dates for him. Let's wait until the disaster is over."
"That's fine. Getting married now means adding one more person to the family, and Brother Feng is not too old, so we can wait." Li Xu said.
In fact, Li Xu understood their concerns. They felt that if Du Feng really found a partner now, it would be a burden to themselves, the future son-in-law.
So they still thought that Du Feng should wait and look for him after the disaster was over.
Li Xu certainly won't take on too much. He can be a good person, but he can't be a pushover.
Now he can make so many relatives not worry about food, but what if Du Feng finds a big burden, where will he get so much food?
Du Ming also nodded and said, "That's what we thought. Xiaoxu, these days are really thanks to you."
Li Xu understood what he was saying. "Uncle Du, what are you talking about? We are all family. Besides, I can't bear to let Xiaohong go hungry."
Du Hong's face turned red again in an instant, and then she just stared at Li Xu.
Li Xu seemed to have noticed something and turned to smile at Du Hong.
Du Ming and his wife smiled at each other when they saw this scene.
After chatting for a while, Li Xu went home.
Li Xu got up at dawn in the morning, went to the kitchen, took a few steamed buns and put them in his lunch box, then took two more and started eating.
He finished the meal in just a few bites, then went straight to Master Qi's house.
When we arrived at Master Qi's house, we saw the yard was full of people.
Li Xu saw Liu Gang and others in the crowd, so he squeezed over.
Liu Gang and others nodded after seeing this, and then Li Xu stood there with a solemn expression like everyone else.
Not long after, I heard crying and "pop" sounds coming from inside.
Li Xu knew that it was the sound of a clay pot falling.
Then the crowd dispersed to form a passage.
Master Qi was seen walking in front holding the spirit tablet in his hand, with one person supporting him on each side, and a middle-aged man holding a white banner beside him.
There were also a few people holding baskets filled with paper money, followed by a large group of people in mourning clothes.
Then eight men were seen carrying a coffin and following behind, holding thick wooden sticks in their hands.
Li Xu and his men walked behind the coffin.
A lot of paper money was scattered along the way, and at this time Li Xu also understood the purpose of those wooden sticks.
When the coffin bearers get tired, they will use wooden sticks to support the coffin to prevent it from falling to the ground.
After walking and stopping for an hour, everyone arrived at a small hill, and then stopped in front of a pit that had been dug in advance.
It took another process before the coffin was buried.
After the burial, Master Qi cried so hard that he almost fainted.
