Chapter 2310 Carrying the coffin back to the village (3 updates
The water and land dojo must be carried out at an auspicious time. Le Xiaoxiao was able to do calculations himself, and combined the horoscopes of his aunt and the horoscopes of everyone in the Le family, he decided to start at the chen hour.
Tatsuki is from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. every day, and Tatsuki is exactly 8 a.m.
Because it was an auspicious time and the masters had to prepare, we made a reservation to have dinner at Lejia.
Zhou Qiufeng's father got up early in the morning, set up a steamer, heated up nine vegetables and one soup, prepared meals for the masters, and also put on gray and black clothes.
Because Leya is his biological sister, Leya's father also wears white clothes with a straw rope tied around his waist, and Zhou Qiufeng also wears mourning clothes as she is a concubine.
Li Zhao is a kind-hearted senior brother, and according to the rules, he has to call Aunt Lejia "senior aunt". He is also considered a junior, and he also takes the initiative to honor Auntie Lejia.
Leyun and her younger brother also wore all white, with a red cloth on top, waiting for their masters at home.
Chen Kang, Zhou Wei, and Yi Laoyan are always guests, so they don't need to wear white clothes.
Master Lei and his companions also got up early, at around five o'clock, and gathered at the appointed point with their belongings. Their team had a van. They drove the van to Jiudao and parked it on the floor of the village office building, and then walked.
Wherever the teacher was going, he would play the music for a while every time he passed a village, and the same was true when he entered Plum Village. After getting off the car, the teacher's team played the music all the way to Lejia.
As soon as the sound rang out, Meicun knew that someone in the village had something to do. Because no one set off firecrackers from yesterday to morning, which meant that no old man had just passed away. Without asking, he guessed that it might be the Le family who wanted to hold a funeral for Le Ya.
Hearing the sound of drums, the musicians were also ready.
Music father Zhou Qiufeng, his children and his apprentice nephew Mr. Li waited outside the gate until the drum band arrived on the floor in front of the house and knelt down to kowtow.
Master Lei and his companions played mournful music to the main room outside the main gate of the music family. After playing the song, they stopped the instruments and helped the masters of the music family to their feet.
Village Chief Zhou hurriedly greeted the masters into the Le family's main room, invited people to sit down and disperse the smoke.
Normally, each person would have one cigarette. He would first give each of the teachers a pack of cigarettes.
The masters put their belongings aside and sat down to smoke.
Le Yun brought her younger brother to serve warm tea. Mr. Li also smoked for a while, and Lan San helped serve the fruit plate.
After drinking tea, remove the fruit plate and set the table for dinner.
Set up two tables in the morning.
The Le family is a kind family. The girls of the Le family are of high status and abide by the old rules of the countryside. The masters are respected, so they naturally know what is right and are in a hurry. They don't drink too much at breakfast, don't waste time, and finish their meals quickly. , wash hands and face, get ready.
Lejia has prepared the necessary items and rooster for the dojo.
The Le family had just finished eating when Zhou Papi brought back a rented car from the street and delivered it to the Le family. They were all large items such as a large stove and pot, a cutting board, a countertop, and a four-cornered sun umbrella.
The Le family has bowls, chopsticks, tables and chairs at home, so there is no need to borrow them. Even if a few sets are missing, it doesn't matter. Grandma Zhou's family and Liu Lu's family, Zhang Poluo's family, all have them.
Elderly people such as Zhou Papi, Zhang Laosan and others were responsible for the tables, chairs and charcoal pots for making fires. Zhou Ge, Cheng Youde and others prepared kitchen utensils, purchased chickens, ducks and fish, butchered pigs, etc.
Village Chief Zhou assigned the work to people, and everyone received the work. He didn't go to Le's house in the morning, and went straight to work after dinner.
The masters sat for about half an hour, and when the auspicious time came, they began to perform rituals.
The dojo should be done from the inside to the outside. First, perform a ritual ceremony at Lejia, and then go around the village to do the water and land dojo.
Because Le Ya's remains were brought into the village from outside, the entire Plum Village was the main road, so when building the amphibious dojo, it was done around Plum Village as the center.
Setting up a Buddhist temple in rural areas is a particularly torturous ritual. The process is cumbersome and complicated, and sometimes you need certain things just by taking a few steps.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, followed his master with his children. He knelt when he needed to, cried when he needed them, shouted when he needed them, sang when he needed to, and ran when he needed to.
Chen Kang and Zhou Wei also followed behind. They didn't need to kneel down and worship, they just walked around the village.
Handsome guy Lan San and Mr. Li drove the car, pulling things behind. They found whatever they needed and handed it to the Le family, who then presented it to the masters' hands or in front of their eyes.
Some places were not accessible to traffic, so they took nearby village roads.
Grandma Zhou Man and Aunt Pa waited for their masters to do a circle around the village before going to Lejia to help. The wives of Liu Lu and others waited for Grandma Zhou Man and Aunt Pa to arrive at Lejia, and they also went to Lejia.
Yi Laoyan is always in charge of Lejia. There are some things that Grandma Zhou Man and Aunt Pa don’t know where they are. They know and can help find them.
Village Chief Zhou also followed suit and did the dojo circles. He circled the village three times before returning to Lejia to be the general conductor and dispatcher.
At first, when the masters were doing the dojo, no one in Plum Village looked around to avoid being hit. It wasn't until the masters walked around the village three times that anyone who was idle went to watch.
When they circled the dojo for the fifth time, the Zhou family and their wives also returned to the village. They put down their luggage and rushed to Lejia to help with the work.
When the masters circled the village for the eighth time, Chen Kang's two sons and their daughters-in-law also rushed back to their hometown. They all asked for leave to go back to their hometown to attend the funeral of their cousin. Chen Kang knew that his son and daughter-in-law were coming, so he asked them to tie straw ropes and follow their cousin/cousin couple to the dojo.
The first half of the water and land dojo lasted until just after noon, and the masters returned to Lejia for dinner.
The people who helped in Lejia arranged all kinds of utensils and prepared lunch. As soon as the teachers came back, they took a short rest and started eating.
After lunch, the teachers continued to perform rituals. The person responsible for pulling the coffin also went to the coffin shop to pull the coffin. A student from Le Xiaoxiao flew a helicopter to Shennong Mountain.
She has always said that she has stored her aunt's remains somewhere in Shennong Mountain, so naturally she has to go to Shennong Mountain to pick up her aunt's remains.
When they arrived at Shennong Mountain, they parked the helicopter in the wasteland that they had already found. Le Xiaoxiao got out of the helicopter and went into the forest.
Enter the forest, return to the star core space, and move the aunt's remains from the golden nanmu coffin to another small coffin made of cypress trees.
It’s not that she is reluctant to let her aunt be buried in the golden nanmu coffin, but the golden nanmu is too precious. If the golden nanmu coffin is used to contain her aunt’s remains, and it becomes known, she is afraid that her aunt’s front feet will be buried in the ground, and her back feet will be ruined by villains. Digging graves and stealing coffins.
The purpose of burying my aunt's remains is to let them rest in peace. If my aunt's remains are destroyed again because of the coffin, it will be meaningless.
He put his aunt's remains in a coffin, closed the lid, and waited for more than two minutes before carrying the coffin out of the space, walked out of the forest, returned to the helicopter, and carried the coffin into the cabin.
I called my uncle and grandpa again to find out what step he had taken in the field, and then waited for nearly half an hour before flying the helicopter back to Jiudao.
When the helicopter flew to the predetermined location outside Jiudao Township, the teacher's team had not yet arrived, so Le Yun let the helicopter hover in the air.
The masters were still on their way to the reservation place, playing and beating all the way. After about ten minutes, they left the Xiangjie area. They set up incense tables, placed sacrifices and killed roosters at the reservation point.
Le's father held the soul-guiding flag and followed the master's instructions to call out the soul and guide the way for his sister.
By the time a series of ritual steps were completed, it was already half an hour later.
After the ritual of extraditing the deceased was completed, Le Yun let the helicopter land, then went to the back to pick up the small coffin containing her aunt's remains, and walked back to the village with her teachers.
Dad Le burst into tears when he saw the coffin carried on the little cotton-padded jacket's shoulders. He cried "sister" while holding the soul-guiding flag in one hand and supporting the coffin in the other.
Mr. Li picked up his junior brother and carried him on his shoulders. Together with his junior brother, he held the coffin for his aunt.
Chen Xin and Chen Jie also went to the other side of the coffin and supported the coffin.
The handsome guy Lan San went to fly the helicopter and sent it back to the floor in front of the village office building first. The Zhou family and Xiaohai were responsible for setting off the firecrackers. They pulled the firecrackers on a bucket truck and set off a string of firecrackers at intervals along the way.
The masters played and played all the way into Plum Village and then back to Lejia.
The helpers brought the coffin back from the coffin shop and placed it on the roadside first. When the masters took back Le Ya's remains and performed rituals, the young people carried two benches and placed them upright on the right side of the Le family's main room, and moved the coffin. Enter the house.
Mr. Chen Xin, Chen Jieli, Brother Zhou, Xiao Hai and others said to the masters that they could put the remains into the coffin. Everyone stepped forward, held the coffin on Xiao Lele's shoulders with their hands, and put a small The coffin is moved into a standard coffin.
The small coffin containing the remains is put into the coffin, and the lid is not closed first. A paper house is placed in front of the coffin, an incense burner and a brazier for burning paper money are placed, and a soul lamp is placed under the coffin.
Then place carpets and sponge mats as kneeling mats in front of the house made of paper. When guests come to the mourning hall to offer incense, they kneel on the sponge mats and burn paper incense.
The coffin is placed against the wall, and sponge cushions are also placed on the side facing the hall. When guests come to the mourning hall to offer incense, family members should greet them on one side.
After setting up the mourning hall, Brother Zhou and others took turns coming forward to offer incense.
Le Yun and her younger brother knelt on the ground at the relatives' reception ceremony table to thank them.
Everyone in the Le family, men, women, old and young, took turns to offer a stick of incense, and then helped the Le family siblings up. The women were the most emotional, and their eyes were red.
Grandma Zhou also went to Leya's house to offer a stick of incense to little Leya. She and Grandma Zhou Man held the two little cubs, Lele and Leshan, in tears.
Leyun couldn't stop crying when she thought about her aunt's tragic death. Leshan also cried when she saw her sister crying.
Zhou Qiufeng and the elders tried to persuade the children, but they all cried.
There was a lot of crying in the mourning hall. Sister-in-law Zhao, Sister-in-law Liu and others quickly tried to comfort them, and it took a lot of effort to calm down some people who were crying with tears in their eyes.
Because it was not a banquet time that day, the villagers would not come to the banquet. The people who helped only processed the ingredients and cleaned the kitchen utensils first, and were not particularly busy.
Near dusk, Chen Kang's four grandsons finally rushed back to their cousin's house.
Chen Zhaonian flew from the capital to Han City, then met his two older brothers Chen Ruinian, Chen Xuenian and younger brother Chen Fengnian, then took a plane to Shishi, and then transferred to Jiudao.
Stimulated by his cousin, Chen Ruinian and Chen Xuenian, who originally knew that there was no hope for the postgraduate entrance examination, also worked hard. Fortunately, hard work paid off. Although the process was a bit difficult, they finally passed the exam and studied in this province. Chen Ruinian was already in the second year of postgraduate study, and Chen Xuenian will I officially went to graduate school in September this year.
The four brothers of the Chen family are different in height, and their facial contours have all been inherited from their grandfather's genes. They are 60 to 70% similar.
