Chapter 380: Furious, Busy, Lively

The sudden sound of two kicks at night made everyone tense up.

Han Li, who was having dinner with his wives, was no exception. He had not been out on the streets during this period. At this time, he looked at the two sisters with some confusion and asked.

"Is there anything else going on in the village recently?"

"I didn't hear anything happened?"

"Little sister, you didn't pay attention. Since the last broadcast, I heard that Zhang Qianying's story seems to have been found out by his father Zhang Dagang. There has been a lot of noise in the past two days. According to his physical condition, these two kicks The sound of feet is probably."

"Well, it's not easy for Zhang Dagang's body to persist until now. If he is stimulated by his son's incident again, there is a high chance that he will die. But let's eat quickly, maybe someone will come to see him later."

In fact, just as Han Li said, not long after their family had finished eating, Liang Dawei came over with Zhang Dayin's son.

"Brother Han, sister-in-law, sister, Accountant Lao Zhang has just disappeared. Please ask sister-in-law to open the door of the consignment point and let them get some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar that they will use tomorrow morning. If there is not enough later, we will take it. My uncle said that I would keep the money on credit first, and I would decide how much I would spend later.”

Han Li and the others had guessed it before, so they followed Liang Dawei out quickly after hearing what he said.

The two sisters took their dogs to open the door for the Zhang family to get their things. The things they ordered on behalf of the consignment belonged to the public and they were not afraid that they would not return them in the end.

Han Li turned around and went to Zhang Xiangjun's house. After all, everyone would live here for several years, so these human exchanges were indispensable.

When we arrived at his house, Zhang Xiangjun was feeding pigs, and Zhang Yaozu was practicing the tying methods of several sets commonly used for hunting in the house.

"Brother Han, is there something wrong at this late hour?"

"The sound of kicking just now was caused by Zhang Dagang. I plan to go over and have a look. Do you want to come together?"

"Go on, is this still the kind where the whole village mobilizes to get a favor?"

"Who knows, Captain Liang is probably depressed at this time. He just announced in the afternoon that he would start work tomorrow, but Zhang Dagang disappeared in the evening."

When Zhang Xiangjun went to change clothes in the house, Zhang Yaozu asked him what he meant by asking for help.

When Han Li was about to explain, Zhang Xiangjun also changed his clothes and came out. After the three of them went out, Zhang Yaozu asked.

"Brother Han, do we want to talk to the Educated Youth Institute?"

"It's okay for Sun Yong to say that he knows the rules here, but I don't know much about Yan Weimin and Xu Yongjian, and I don't know whether they are willing to dip into this muddy water and whether they are willing to pay for it. If we go together in this situation, "It's a bit of a coercion. Otherwise, we'll call Sun Yong out alone and let him negotiate with his roommate."

When Han Li and others came out of the Educated Youth Academy, their team had grown to six people. When they arrived at Zhang Dagang's house, it was already busy.

Those who went to various places to report funerals had already set off in groups of three. Some of the people who came now were helping to clean themselves and change clothes inside the house, some were starting to clean up the yard and prepare to build a shed, and some were holding blank sheets of paper. Some stuck at the door, some went to the cellar to get groceries, and some went to borrow things from neighbors.

All this busy work is prepared for the people who will come to attend the funeral early tomorrow morning. The family must prepare whether they will eat or not when these relatives come.

The woman was busy cutting streamers and pulling white cloth inside the house. Fortunately, Zhang Dagang's family had prepared these things in advance, otherwise they wouldn't be able to buy them back now.

As for the current cut flag, it is hung at the street door. Outsiders will know that there is a funeral in this family when they see it. Some sensible people can also tell the age and gender of the deceased through this flag.

On the day of the funeral, the filial son carried a mourning flag, which also had a noble name: "Baofan Zhuanggai".

There is more emphasis on this spiritual flag. From the flag carried by the filial son, one can tell whether the deceased was a man or a woman, whether he had children or not, whether he had a son or not, whether his son lived a short life, whether his spouse passed away, etc.

However, after the circulation of information, these things have been confused by many cultures across the country. Those who are pure and truly understand are hard to find. If you want to know more about them, you can only find them in some folk literature and periodicals, or some comparisons. You can find it in the responsible county records.

Nowadays, most of the things and rituals on the market are specious. They have completely lost the original exquisiteness and are a bit of a hodgepodge of things from all over the world.

What's even more assholes are some funeral service teams. They don't know how to pretend to understand and cut off the child-less banners of the victim. Later, when the victim found out about it, he came to the door, and the other party actually said that his family's most important thing was Authentic, it has been passed down for many generations, and the person involved is asked to provide relevant texts and written evidence. You cannot listen to the nonsense of an old man.

(This is a real incident.)

Since the weather is still very cold, everyone has lit a bonfire in the yard.

After Han Li and the others greeted Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang, they squatted down by the campfire and listened to them discussing with Zhang Dagang's brothers what they still needed, which relatives they had not notified, etc.

While the people in the house were waiting for Zhang Dagang to change his clothes, Zhang Dagang's children and wife began to cry.

They just went into the house to see the situation. After everyone came in, Zhang Ganying, who was kneeling on the ground crying with a bruised face, stood up and kowtowed to everyone with his younger brother Zhang Hongqi.

This is the rule of a filial son and a virtuous grandson. He kowtowed to everyone who came to help them, helped them up and said some polite words. Village Chief Zhao and the others still had something to discuss, so Han Li took Zhang Yaozu and the others out of the room.

There was no way to go back for the time being, so a few people were squatting by the fire chatting with the villagers.

The only ones who could chat by the fire at this time were uncles and grandfathers. Young people in their twenties were either reporting the death, borrowing things, building sheds, etc.

They stayed by the fire for more than two hours, and most of the time the villagers whispered that Zhang Ganying was wrong, and that the injuries on his body were caused by the beatings of Zhang Dajin and his brothers.

Until everything was almost ready, only the Zhang family was left in the yard to guard, and the others could go home.

However, those who were assigned tasks had to come to work early, and the others could have their own time.

At this time, when someone asked Captain Liang if he still had to work tomorrow, the other party looked at this brainless man with a bad temper.

Go to work? The Zhang family is a big family in Shanghe Village, accounting for nearly one-third of the population in the village.

If the fields were really busy, he would let everyone go to work, and those who were not five generations apart from Zhang Dagang would stay to help, and no one would say anything.

But now there is nothing to do in the fields, just cleaning corn silks and sorghum roots, and clearing some places with too much snow.

If he asked everyone to go to work on the first day after Zhang Dagang passed away during this relatively free time, he would definitely be scolded to death by Zhang, so Captain Liang said unhappily.

"Wait for the announcement on the radio."

Han Li turned to He Mi's house when he was walking the dog at night, but this time the two of them did not communicate much, but simply exchanged ideas on the issue of going to work.

According to Han Li's idea, He Mi and Qi Zhaodi should just stay at home and focus on raising flying dragons, and they don't need to go to work at all.

I will help them solve the problem of eating these little guys now. When the weather gets warmer, they can go to the mountains to pick them, and when they have grasshoppers, they can exchange some with the children in the village, but He Mi smiled and shook his head and said.

"I know you're doing this for my own good, but it's not appropriate for us to not go to work for a day. Even if we've discussed it with Village Chief Zhao and the others, others won't know about it. There will be too many people gossiping at that time, and who knows what bad things will come out.

How about this, I'll go to work every other day, and I'll also use the method of slacking off that you taught me last year to make sure I don't get tired. Sister Qi is not in the same team as us, so what's wrong with her?"

"Brother Han, Sister He, don't worry about me. I was able to handle it when I first came here last year. I've gained a whole circle of weight this year, so there's absolutely no problem. Besides, I can't eat and drink for free just because of something as trivial as raising a flying dragon."

Han Li saw that both of them had their own plans, so he stopped persuading them.

"Okay, then it's up to you, but if you're tired, you must rest at home."

As for the Yun sisters, there's no need to discuss it. They also go if they want to, and don't go if they don't want to, and they're not afraid of what others say.

No one talked that night. The next day, when Han Li was practicing boxing, the village loudspeaker sounded, and it was announced that the time to go to work would be postponed for one day.

Han Li had dinner at home early, and then went to Zhang Dagang's house with Zhang Yaozu and others.

As for the Yun sisters, they would go with He Mi and other female educated youth to meet them later, but they would not stay too long.

There was already someone keeping accounts today, and Han Li and others paid fifty cents each, just like the old man of the Liang family.

But to be honest, they didn't have much work to do. Most of the time, they just chatted with others around a small fire. The sound of drums from time to time reminded the filial sons inside that there were people coming to pay their respects.

During the chat, Han Li learned that Zhang Dagang would be buried on the third day.

Today, everyone stayed here for a day to help their family show off their numbers in front of their relatives.

Tomorrow, only the close relatives of the Zhang family will stay here, and everyone else will go to work in the fields, and come back the day after tomorrow to show off their numbers and help with the burial.

But as time went on, everyone saw that the situation on the scene seemed a bit subtle.

Those who were a little older gathered together and whispered something, and when they looked at Zhang Ganying kneeling in the house, they showed a gloating look.

Before Han Li and his friends asked what was going on, the drum sounded at the street gate. The relatives who came this time were led in by a special person. It was estimated that the other party was of a high generation, otherwise there would not be such a situation.

There were more than 20 people in this group, old and young, male and female, but their faces were all very ugly.

And after this group of relatives entered the house, the villagers who were originally outside all rushed into the yard.

Han Li heard the villagers' whispers and knew that these people were Zhang Ganying's uncles and cousins.

Zhang Dagang was very close to them when he was alive, and everyone said that there would be a lot of fun with Zhang Ganying later.

When this group of people were attending the spirit (can), the older ones stood there and looked at the house coldly, and the younger ones all cried on the ground.

After the ceremony was over, before Zhang Ganying came out to kowtow, the oldest one of these people said coldly.

"Drag out that disgraceful, unfilial son who has angered his father to death."

A group of people rushed into the house and dragged Zhang Ganying out with a beating.

"This unfilial son can anger his father to death today and his mother to death tomorrow. Beat him up hard and make sure he learns a lesson this time."
