"Xiaoyu, mother can't take care of you today, so you pull my Lihua."
"Don't worry." She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to cry when she was buried, so she prepared a handkerchief dipped in chili water in her sleeve.
"Lihua, hold on to me and don't let go." Zhao Xiaoyu reminded her again with concern. The old house was in a mess today, and there were a lot of people at home. Many of them would go up the mountain soon.
"I understand, sister."
Stepping out of the main hall, I saw the clan leader standing beside the coffin and crying. His crying was so heart-wrenching that it was no exaggeration to say that it was shocking to the heavens and the earth and made the gods and ghosts weep. It was even louder than my mother's. In other words, the profession of mourning cryer is not popular now, otherwise every one of the Zhao family members would have a second spring in their career.
One after another, they finally got out of the yard and went up the mountain in a mighty procession.
Zhao Xiaoyu found that her mother's eyes were red and swollen. Not only her, but also her aunts and second aunts were the same. It seemed that they were all crying for real in the yard and they were very sincere. But their generation seems to have much less conscience, and it seems that none of them has red and swollen eyes.
The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and it was even more difficult for the people carrying the coffin, so they specially found a few more people to carry the coffin. Zhao Lao Da, as the eldest son who broke the basin, walked in the front.
When we reached the middle of the mountain, everyone's shoes were soaked. It was cold and wet and felt very uncomfortable.
The whole procession took nearly half an hour. When the coffin was buried, a group of people staged a farewell drama again, especially Zhao Dawen who cried hysterically. Several people held him back, preventing him from stopping the old man from being buried.
Zhao Dawen was not acting at this moment, he was expressing his true feelings. He thought about his father's dedication, care and help to him over the years. When he passed away, he would never find another person who cared about him so much. She was so sad that she could hardly control herself, and her tears flowed like water, which even made the other old ladies nearby burst into tears.
Zhao Dawenping single-handedly raised his precarious reputation a little bit. Regardless of what kind of person he is, Zhao Lao Da is a filial son.
Zhao Dashu had the feeling that his elder brother was acting, but when he saw his tears he hesitated. Could it be that he suddenly had a change of heart and knew how to be filial to his parents?
The funeral was over. It was easier to go up the mountain than to go down. Zhao Xiaoyu pulled Lihua. The snow had been trampled into pieces when they went up the mountain. Now there was only snow water and mud. It went without saying that the way down the mountain would be very slippery.
"Shall I help you down?" Xiao Lei came to Zhao Xiaoyu's side without knowing when. "I'll hold Lihua's hand, and you hold Lihua's other hand." He couldn't hold Zhao Xiaoyu's hand. They hadn't gotten married yet, and it would be bad for her reputation.
"No need, let's go down the road over there. The snow is all there. Dad and Mom, I'm here!" Zhao Xiaoyu shouted. The road was so slippery that she was afraid that her mother would accidentally fall.
"What's wrong?"
"Let's go this way. The snowy road is not slippery."
Zhao Ruxin had knelt at two funerals, and her knees were so swollen that they could no longer be seen. Zhao Jiadong had to drag her up the mountain.
"Little brother, you have to hold me for a while. I'm afraid I'll fall to my death."
"Okay!" Zhao Jiadong knew that everything in his family was earned by his eldest sister, so he was very polite to her.
"Boss, can you give me a hand?"
"Hold my cotton-padded jacket and go down slowly." The funeral was over, and so was old man Zhao's stubborn and unwilling life. Everyone calmed down and slowly went down the mountain.
