In fact, no matter where we are, there are relationships between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, son-in-law and son-in-law, brothers, sisters, sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law, colleagues, etc. If everyone gets along well, it is a beautiful world. If it is not handled well, then

It is the injustice of life.

Wen Qingfeng's father and uncle had a conflict over some trivial matters in life. The two brothers, both decades old, still couldn't control their emotions and started taking action. Wen Qingfeng's uncle waved his fist in anger.

, hit Wen Qingfeng's father hard on the head.

This punch knocked Wen Qingfeng's father unconscious and fell to the ground. This shocked Wen Qingfeng's uncle. He quickly squatted down and tested his elder brother's breathing with his fingers.

This temptation failed! The elder brother was not breathing. Wen Qingfeng's uncle was so frightened that he ran away. Wen Qingfeng's mother saw her husband knocked to the ground by his uncle's fist. She was also frightened.

When she saw her brother-in-law running away, she realized that something serious had happened.

She quickly hugged her husband, pinched him, slapped her face, cried, and called her husband's name. But no matter how she did it or called her, her husband never responded to her.

Fortunately, after rescuing him for a long time, my husband's breathing recovered and his heartbeat started, but he was still unconscious.

No, the Chinese New Year is about to come soon. But something like this suddenly happened at home. Wen Qingfeng’s mother asked the neighbor to call Wen Qingfeng quickly.

Wen Qingfeng's phone rang, but the number looked strange and familiar at the same time. He couldn't remember whose call it was because the number was not in his phone's address book. He was hesitating whether to answer it or not.

Zhao Mingyue urged him to answer the phone quickly. "Hurry up and answer the phone. What if the person calling you has something to do with you?"

Wen Qingfeng answered the call. "Hello. Who are you?"

"Oh. I'm your neighbor. Please wait a moment. Your mother wants to see you for something." After the neighbor said that, he handed the phone to Wen Qingfeng's mother.

"Wen Qingfeng, where are you bastard?"

Wen Qingfeng received a call from his mother and was scolded like this without a clue. He was wondering if his mother had taken gunpowder. He quickly answered her. "We are at my mother-in-law's house in Qichen's house in Datang. You don't know."

Ah? I told you this when I left."

"Your father was beaten to death. You bastard, why don't you come back soon?"

Her mother's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue. Wen Qingfeng was completely stunned.

"Mom, what are you talking about? What happened to dad?"

"I won't tell you anymore. I'll send your father to the health center right away. Come back quickly."

As soon as Wen Qingfeng's mother finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone because in her subconscious mind, the phone bill was very expensive. Calling for a long time would cause too much trouble to the neighbors.

Zhao Mingyue watched Wen Qingfeng's expression change after answering the phone. She quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Grandpa Qichen was beaten to death. Mom is taking him to the health center."

"Then why are you still standing there? Let's go back quickly!"

When Wen Qingfeng drove to Taiyang Town, the car had just passed Lingguan Bridge when he received another call from his mother who borrowed someone else's phone. "The health center said that your father is angry and they don't dare to accept him. Let's go there quickly."

It will be sent to the county hospital. You go directly to the county hospital and don’t come to the health center.”

It was not convenient for Wen Qingfeng to answer the phone while driving. Zhao Mingyue received the call. After hanging up the phone, she told Wen Qingfeng: "His grandma called and told us to go directly to the county hospital."

Wen Qingfeng had stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. Zhao Mingyue was so frightened that she hugged Wen Qichen tightly. She kept shouting: "Drive slower, drive slower."

But he turned a deaf ear to the breeze and continued to drive fast...

Fortunately, it finally opened safely...

Wen Qingfeng's father stayed in the county hospital for several days. He was in a coma and his condition did not improve. He had to be transferred to Jingshan Prefecture People's Hospital for treatment. After several days of treatment at Jingshan Prefecture People's Hospital, there was still no improvement. In the end, he could only

I was transferred to a hospital in Chengdu.

After careful examination of various instruments and equipment at Chengdu Hospital, the doctor finally made a diagnosis. Wen Qingfeng's father originally had a small tumor in his head due to a heavy blow to his head. As a result, the small tumor ruptured and bleeds. Due to repeated delays,

Treatment? Therefore, the opportunity for rescue has been missed. I advise the family members to go through the discharge procedures and return to the countryside for hospice care. They can prepare for the funeral.

Is Wen Qingfeng a doctor? Naturally, he understood that a doctor from a large hospital would make such a judgment, which was tantamount to declaring that his father's life was about to end. He was a little unwilling, so he asked the doctor, if it had been discovered earlier? The craniotomy operation was successful.

The odds are very high. If he is not discovered and is not injured? How long can my father live?

The doctor was honest. He also showed Wen Qingfeng the film taken during the examination. Tell him that even if it was discovered earlier? Because the tumor grows in a special location, the chance of successful surgery is not high. Even if it is discovered during the examination?

Usually only conservative treatment is recommended. In fact, just don’t care about it. But don’t care about it? It still keeps growing slowly. The most it can live is a few more years...

Thinking back over the years, my father would complain about having a headache from time to time. He would take some painkillers when it hurt. Then my father's eyesight was declining day by day. It turns out that the most fundamental reason is here. But everyone usually ignores it.

After Wen Qingfeng discussed it with his younger siblings, he was worried that his father would leave during the process of transferring him back to Xigui. But he also wanted to find a place with slightly better conditions? Provide his father with final hospice care and let him pass away.

Less painful.

So he settled his father in Xianshan City, where his younger brother worked.

After a while, Wen Qingfeng’s father completed his final journey in the hospital bed.

Because Mu Yi and Wen Qingfeng were sworn brothers, Wen Qingfeng called Mu Yi to tell him about his father's death.

Mu Yi was quite surprised to receive a call from Wen Qingfeng. However, it was hard to say much on the phone. On the same day, Mu Yi hurriedly took the green train to Xianshan City to attend Uncle Wen's funeral.

When Mu Yi arrived in Xianshan City after a few hours of hurried train ride, it was already late at night. Xianshan City in winter, like other places, is still very cold.

When Mu Yi came to Uncle Wen's mourning hall, he first offered incense and kowtowed... Then he sat with Wen Qingfeng and others, and watched Wen Qinghai and others on the dam in the small courtyard below the dormitory of the locomotive depot's family area...

It was a very cold night. Not only because of the cold weather, but also because the mourning hall was too deserted. Because I was far away from my hometown, I couldn't do as much as I did in Xigui. The only person keeping watch was Wen Qingfeng's mother.

Along with their three brothers and sisters and their families, there is also an old cousin who works in Xianshan and his family members, and some colleagues of Mu Yi and Wen Qinghai, and there is no one else.

Everyone is feeling very sad and depressed...

After waiting until it was slightly light, everyone took the car to the funeral parlor in Xianshan City. Only then did Mu Yi realize that only the remains of the deceased were placed in the mourning hall.

When we arrived at the funeral parlor, the staff pulled out the ice coffin and asked the family members to confirm it. Everyone knelt on the cold cement floor of the funeral parlor and kowtowed. The staff then sent the body to the furnace...

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze. Everyone felt that their throats were very congested, and tears could not stop flowing down...

After the furnace stopped working, the staff asked everyone to go to the back. After collecting the ashes, they wrapped them in red cloth and put them in an urn before giving them to the family members.

Then everyone drove to the cemetery and followed the staff of the "Funeral Service Company" to the cemetery. Along the way, they kept throwing paper money outside the car, and setting off "magic whips" all the way...

When we arrived at the cemetery, we confirmed the tomb location and buried the urn in the small cemetery. We burned incense and candles, set off firecrackers, burned wreaths, and kowtowed...

After Uncle Wen's funeral, Wen Qingfeng and the others had other things to deal with. Muyi caught the train back to Xigui alone.

Although Mu Yi had attended many funerals, including those of relatives, neighbors, friends, and strangers, this funeral left him unable to calm down for a long time.

A man was sitting on the train back to Xigui. He thought a lot and looked down on a lot. He also recalled two other funerals that were particularly impressive.

When he first started working, because he was Han Chinese, he became a "minority" in Zhongguozhuang, a minority area where ethnic minorities account for more than 99% of the population.

That winter, he attended a funeral of the Yi people. On that day, many people gathered on a hillside. Looking from a distance, they saw a large rectangular firewood pile built with green bars, pine and other firewood on the high platform.

What is placed on the pyre is the deceased.

After a while, Bimo finished the ceremony and lit the pyre. The deceased turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew away in the wind. The people below were busy slaughtering cows, setting up pots, cooking meat, cooking rice, and steaming buckwheat cakes.

Pour wine to entertain relatives and friends who come to attend the funeral.

Everyone was busy, and only Mu Yi, an outsider, stood aside to observe this funeral, which was different from Han burials.

With the sound of several gunshots, the firewood pile ignited, and the snowflakes in the sky flew down, leaving the sky and the earth completely white. The smell of the burning body of the deceased was mixed with the smell of burning green barwood and pine wood, mixed with gunpowder smoke.

The smell of cooking beef fills the air...

When the raging flames take away the body of the deceased, the ashes and ashes merge with the earth. There is no tombstone, only a pile of rocks built with some stones is the grave of the deceased.

That feeling and scene deeply shocked Mu Yi and made him have some thoughts about death and funerals.

A few years later, he attended another impressive funeral. The deceased was considered a distant relative on his mother's side, because in Mu Yi's memory, there had never been any contact between them.

Just because of some special reasons and some problems at work, this distant relative who was the head of a certain bureau committed suicide. The patriarch of the mother's side asked people with the same surname from every household to send some people to attend the funeral.

Maybe it was because Mu Yi was a young man! Or maybe it was because Mu Yi was a little curious. Anyway, the organizers sent Mu Yi to take part in the coffin carrying.

This is also the first time and so far the only time Mu Yi has carried a coffin.

I saw that the coffin was carried out from the funeral home and was carried by 8 young men. There were 4 people on the front side and 4 people on the back side. There was also a big red rooster tied to the coffin. It is said that this rooster was carried after the funeral, that is,

It was taken away by the husband (Taoist priest) after the burial.

When carrying a coffin, one must not let it fall to the ground. That is, after the coffin is carried out the door and does not reach the cemetery, it cannot fall to the ground under any circumstances. If it falls to the ground, it must be buried where it landed. This is a taboo!

Everyone took turns to carry it. I don’t know how many rounds it took, and it took more than ten kilometers to carry it to the cemetery on the mountain. Under the command of my husband, the burial was completed. The distant relative who was once so famous was laid to rest in this way.

Sitting on the train, listening to the dull sound of "clang, clang, clang", Muyi thought a lot. Hearing about his uncle's funeral made him unable to calm down for a long time, and it also made him think a lot, and made him look down on a lot.

It had a profound impact on him that he didn't even feel.

These funerals made Mu Yi no longer fear death, and made Mu Yi cherish life more. They made him deeply appreciate the preciousness of life and truly understand what "if you lose it, you are really lost." When you are alive, you must cherish it.

Time requires you to advance despite difficulties and have the courage to pursue. It also made Mu Yi understand better that when enough is enough, just accept the situation. Some things cannot be forced. In the end, all the hard work ended up costing Qingqing's life...

Perhaps, everyone's destination is death. The difference lies in their life circumstances, but in the end, everyone will reach the same destination by different paths. Whether they are great men, wise men, or ordinary fools, they will eventually embark on the road to hell.

Mu Yi suddenly thought of his father and his mother. He thought that they would leave one day. Mu Yi suddenly forgave his father and his mother. He no longer thought about whether they were fair to him or partial to their brothers.

Partiality. He thanked them for giving him life and thanked them for still living well. Muyi also forgave many people and things that he had been resentful about and could not let go of.

Mu Yi hopes that his life will improve, that he can get out of financial difficulties earlier, so that Jin Baihe and Xiao Lele can live a good life. This will also allow him to have enough energy to honor his parents and help his brothers.

He also forgave his father-in-law. Forgave him for insulting him at the beginning. He also forgave them for their preference for sons over daughters. After all, compared to many other parents, it was not easy for them to be able to send Jin Lily to study.

After I finished my studies, I got a job. After I started a family, I also gave him a lot of important help.
