After Qin's father passed away, Qin Yufan informed all relatives and friends of the Qin family about the news of his father's death.

After learning that Qin's father had died, Qin Yufan's two aunts' families and other family members rushed to the Qin family first. Later, other relatives of the Qin family also rushed to the Qin family.

Due to the long distance, only a few representatives from each family of Qin's father's relatives in Henan came. The day before Qin's father's funeral, they took the train and rushed to Qin's house in advance to attend Qin's father's funeral.

Already.

Father Qin's father has many brothers and sisters. Except for one sister who married far away in Qinghai Province, the rest of his brothers and sisters all live in their hometown in Henan.

Qin's father is the second among his many brothers and sisters. He has an older brother and an older sister, and a second younger brother and younger sister. Among them, except for his fourth brother and his wife, and his wife who lives far away in Qinghai

Except for the provincial sister who is still alive, the others have passed away. Due to the tight time and the long distance, several representatives from each of Qin's father's cousins' families came to attend his funeral.

coming.

Qin's father was a very important friend throughout his life. Although he and his cousins, brothers and sisters were thousands of miles apart, they never lost contact. Whenever there was a festival or "big event", they would still talk to each other.

Going back and forth.

His relatives in his hometown, except for his eldest uncle and aunt when they passed away, were caught up in the "Japanese Movement" (Qin's father was imprisoned in the cowshed at the time, and Qin's mother gave birth to Qin Yufan shortly after).

Except for his eldest uncle who was unable to attend the funeral for some reason, he attended the funerals of all the others.

Just seven or eight years ago, after his third uncle passed away, he and his wife took Qin Yufan and his two sisters to attend the funeral. Because of this, after his death, his cousins ​​and relatives were not far away.

He traveled thousands of miles from his hometown in Henan to come here to attend his funeral.

Qin's father's uncle's family was also a wealthy family, and they all lived in a village not too far away from his hometown. Qin's father's grandfather was a local rich man at that time, and he had several concubines in his family.

His mother is the child of his maternal grandfather's concubine.

His mother has two half-brothers and one half-sister, and one half-brother. Among his mother’s many brothers and sisters, except for her half-sister-in-law and sister-in-law,

While still outside the world, the others have passed away.

Therefore, after Qin's father passed away, several representatives from his uncle's family and his aunt's family came here and traveled thousands of miles to attend his funeral.

Among all the relatives who came to the Qin family today, the relatives from Qin's mother's natal family were the most numerous.

Qin's mother's natal family lives in a rural area only a dozen kilometers away from City A. Her natal family can be regarded as a "big family" in their village. The clan members are very large, accounting for about 100% of the people in their village.

More than seventy.

Qin's mother has many brothers and sisters. She has two sisters and one brother. She has one brother and two sisters. There are even more cousins.

Among her many relatives, except for her second sister's family and a cousin's family who were out of town and failed to arrive at her home, the rest all rushed here.

Qin Yufan's grandfather was trapped by hunger due to living conditions during the "Japanese War" in the early 1960s. He mistakenly ate some poisonous wild vegetables and contracted the "skin disease"

Soon after, she passed away prematurely. From then on, her grandmother worked alone and endured hardships to raise their brothers and sisters.

Early this morning, Qin Yuji's grandmother, with the support of one of her granddaughters, also rushed here from the countryside more than ten kilometers away.

Don't forget that this old woman is 83 years old and has lost all her teeth. But she is not deaf or blind. Sometimes she can walk without help. She is so strong!

Not to mention how filial Qin Yufan treated her grandmothers! Whenever it was her grandmother's birthday or during a festival, she would take her grandmother to live in her home for some time.

When the Qin Yufan sisters were young, they spent most of their time at her grandmother's house during summer vacation or winter vacation. Her uncles and aunts treated the two of them from the city.

My niece also looked at her with special eyes.

The two sisters received special "preferential treatment" every day in their family. Several of her cousins ​​also "loved" the two sisters very much. They would always give way to the two sisters first in everything they encountered.

The two of them had entered their home as casually as they entered and exited their own home since they were young.

They all rushed to Qin's house early this morning.

After 12 noon, Qin Yufan's relatives and friends basically arrived at Qin's house on time.

After seeing that basically all the relatives and friends of the Qin family had arrived, Qin's father's funeral began slowly with the order given by the host.

After the funeral began, first the female relatives of the Qin family, led by the band, cleaned Qin's father's grave. Then, the male relatives of the Qin family, led by the band, invited the Qin family's ancestors' spiritual tablets back.

After the "spirit" ceremony was over, they began to pay homage to Qin's father's spiritual throne, and then began to take the relatives' gifts back to Qin's father's spirit in order.

Due to the large number of relatives in the Qin family, the ceremony started at 11 o'clock in the morning and ended after five o'clock in the afternoon.

That night, the Qin family's courtyard became even more lively. People watching the excitement almost filled the entire alleyway.

In the alleyway not far from the gate of Qin's house, dozens of cars are parked neatly in a "one" shape. These cars have blocked the already very narrow alleyway tightly, leaving only a small passage.

Pedestrians were passing by. Beside these cars, a dozen little urchins were climbing on the cars, playing and having fun.

Due to the relatively narrow alleyway, the Qin family originally planned to show the movie in the alleyway, so they were forced to move to the street outside the alleyway. At this time, the street was already crowded with people watching movies. They were already

The entire street was blocked. After all passing vehicles got here, they had to turn around and take a detour.

After passing through the crowded streets and walking into the alleyway, we arrived at the gate of Qin Yufan's house. In the center of the gate of Qin's house, there was a paper flower cut from hemp paper hanging. There were two hanging paper flowers on the walls on both sides of the gate.

A piece of elegiac couplet written on white paper and black paper. The first couplet of the elegiac couplet says: The great ambitions are gone without preparation; the second couplet says: The regret for the children and grandchildren is full of tears. The banner says: Forever through the ages.

On both sides of the gate less than one meter away from the gate, two "dragon lanterns" made of cloth were hung. Inside the dragon lanterns were a string of colorful lanterns, which were shining brightly.

On the left and right sides of the Qin family's gate, there are dozens of wreaths of different sizes. At the front is a large wreath. It is a wreath collectively presented by Qin's father's unit during his lifetime. Behind the big wreath are placed

There are dozens of slightly smaller wreaths presented by Liu Jianguo, the general manager of Qin Yufan's unit, and several other leaders. Behind these wreaths are also placed wreaths presented by Qin Yufan's two sisters and Chen Yongfu.

On the right side of the gate are some flowers presented by relatives of the Qin family and Qin's father's relatives in his hometown in Henan. In addition, behind these wreaths are placed some wreaths presented by some of Qin's father's close friends and friends during his lifetime, as well as some flowers from the Qin family.

Wreaths presented by relatives.

There is a note made of white paper hanging on both sides of these wreaths, with some simple elegiac couplets and the name and unit of the person who dedicated it written on it. Around these wreaths, there are many people watching the fun. They are one by one.

Everyone was commenting on the wreaths.

After entering the gate of the Qin family, they saw a lively scene. The entire Qin family yard was filled with people watching the excitement. In the center of the crowd, there were more than a dozen artists sitting. They were all shaking their heads and talking.

They sang "Zitan" like a broken voice. Among them were Qin Opera, which we Shaanxi people love to listen to, and Henan Henan Opera, which Henan people love to listen to.

Almost the entire Qin family courtyard was packed with these spectators. Some of them, because they could not see the performance inside, stood on chairs and tables to watch the show.

After passing through the crowd watching the excitement, we arrived at the door of the Qin family's upper room. To the right of the door of the Qin family's upper room is the place where Qin's father's funeral hall is parked.

In the innermost part of Qin's father's mourning hall, there is Qin's father's coffin. There is a flower quilt placed on top of the coffin. On the coffin lid near the front of the coffin, there is an oil lamp. The weak flame on the oil lamp is blowing in the breeze.

Shaking slightly.

The two ends of the coffin were covered with wheat straw. On the wheat straw, two sisters, Qin Yufan and Qin Yunan, were dressed in heavy mourning. One by one, they knelt on the wheat straw to guard their father's "spirit". Beside them, there were also several women kneeling.

He was crying for Father Qin. There was a lot of crying in the whole mourning shed.

There is a cloth curtain outside Father Qin's coffin. Outside the curtain is Father Qin's "mourning hall". Father Qin's memorial tablet is enshrined in the mourning hall. In the center of the mourning hall is a black and white portrait of Father Qin that is more than a foot long.

Portrait. In the portrait, Father Qin has a smile on his face and looks particularly amiable.

There is "black gauze" wrapped around the frame.

In front of the portrait, there were "tributes" presented to Qin's father. There were many things in the "tributes", but only a few were caught.

On both sides of the "tribute", there are two exquisite small "incense burners" placed on the left and right. There are more than a dozen incense sticks inserted in each "incense burner". Green smoke is rising from the "incense". The entire incense burner is surrounded by green smoke.

, giving people a mysterious atmosphere. It feels like entering a fairyland.
