In the countryside of Yanshi, Henan, a teenage girl had just passed by a family, and several rural women looked up and down, and then whispered, "Isn't this Wu Huixia's daughter?" ”
"Is it crying for half an hour to earn 300 that?" This WuHuixia did that kind of work, and she was not afraid of the children being blinded in the village. I heard that none of her classmates at school wanted to play with her, and they all hated her mother's work. You say that good arms and legs can't do something, go to people crying, it's not too obscure! ”
"That is, if your old wife is here, you dare to do this, and you are not afraid of losing your life!"
Wu Huixia
Another continued: "I see that you are hot in the eyes, people Wu Huixia's family has built a new house, food and clothing, which is not good in our village?" ”
In the private discussion in the village, Wu Huixia's daughter was actually very clear, and she was isolated by her classmates in school, so she did not argue with her mother for this.
So what exactly does Wu Huixia do? Why do you suffer so many blank eyes in the village?
A special culture of weeping spirits
Chinese attaches great importance to the scene, and the title of the gold list, the import of Tim Ding, and the loss of personnel must be done. As long as someone cares, someone can find a way to make money.
Of all the things, the red and white celebrations are the most important and solemn things. One must be lively, and the other must be done to show the reluctance of the world.
In such a unique culture, the industry of weeping spirits also came into being.
After the death of the old man, according to the customs of different places, he will park at home for a few days to let the relatives who come to the funeral see the last glance. At this time, it is necessary to cry, express your reluctance to your loved ones, and also show your filial piety and reluctance to outsiders.
But crying is not just a matter of crying and crying, the process is complicated, and it is also necessary to cry touchingly and emotionally.
At this time, a weeping spirit person is very important, not only to drive the atmosphere, but also to guide the process, so as not to appear forks.
The meaning of the weeping spirit is to express the filial piety to the deceased, and the second is to tell the story of the deceased's difficulty in raising children throughout his life.
Wu Huixia, who is controversial in the village, is a well-known local weeping spirit person. Because the crying was moving, the crying was touching, even if anyone in the surrounding area had a white affair, they would come to ask Wu Huixia to cry. At the end of the year, you can earn about 100,000 yuan by relying on the weeping spirit.
So how did Wu Huixia come to this path?
In the early years, Wu Huixia was just an ordinary farmer, relying on a few acres of thin land, but he could barely survive.
Wu Huixia has a daughter who is the pearl in her hand. Although the family conditions were not good, Wu Huixia still tried her best to give her daughter everything she could give.
Working outside the home can indeed make more money, but then the daughter will become a left-behind child, and Wu Huixia chooses to be a farmer at home between the pros and cons of rights and interests.
Life is a bit hard, but saving money can still afford to support her daughter's study. Wu Huixia often thought that if she tried harder, when her daughter was admitted to college, her daughter would be able to change her fate by reading, and her daughter's life would be much better in the future.
The roof leaked during the overnight rain, and the mother's sudden illness made the already poor family even more stretched. Although relatives and friends are very sympathetic to Wu Huixia's plight, everyone's family situation is not optimistic, and each of them is just unable to help.
At this time, Wu Huixia happened to attend a funeral, when there was a person who cried in front of the spirit and touched the heavens, which made Wu Huixia deeply touched, and could not help but admire, this person is really filial piety, crying so much that he feels sad.
An insider next to him said: "What kind of filial piety is this, it is a professional weeping spirit person invited by others, crying for hundreds of dollars!" ”
This incident gave Wu Huixia some inspiration, although she was very repulsive in her heart, but the situation at home had reached the end of the mountain. It costs money for the daughter to go to school, or she will have to drop out of school, and the mother will have to spend money to treat her illness, otherwise the condition will be delayed.
At this time, the husband's heart was shaken, but after all, it was not a decent job, so he was still very hesitant in his heart: "Can our daughter and my mother agree?" ”
Wu Huixia said that the work of these two people is done by themselves, and the weeping spirit is to do good deeds, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and may be able to bring blessings to their families.
In this way, the husband reluctantly agreed for the sake of the overall situation, but when it came to the daughter and mother, the work was much more difficult.
The old mother lying on the sickbed heard her daughter go to cry for others, and she was not angry.
"I'm not dead yet!" You go and cry for others? Aren't you expecting me to die? ”
Wu Huixia's stomach was aggrieved, and the tears fell down, comforting the old mother's mood, and then giving up his own pain and embarrassment.
Considering that there were still children to support, and the daughter and son-in-law were also very embarrassed, the old lady finally relaxed and nodded her head in agreement.
The daughter is the most difficult to do the work, after all, it is an adolescent girl who has learned to ask for face. If the mother goes to cry for others, let the classmates and the people in the village know, how to look up and be a person, who sees herself is not allowed to point fingers.
Her daughter's words made Wu Huixia waver for the first time. For the sake of her daughter, she can sacrifice everything, and she can put down her face to do things she doesn't like. If you really did a weeping spirit person, what your daughter said is not unreasonable, but if you don't do a weeping spirit person, what can you do with your daughter's tuition? Through reading to get ahead, but the only chance for my daughter to change her destiny!
In the end, under the dilemma, Wu Huixia still put down his face and started the work of crying spirit people.
It is unfavorable to go out of the school and reflect on it repeatedly
Wu Huixia's first business was actually not smooth, after all, everything was difficult at the beginning, and no one was born to do it.
When Wu Huixia knelt down in front of the coffin of the former master's house and was ready to start crying, he found that he could not cry at all.
Indeed, I did not have any emotional intersection with this family, and I didn't even know who the other party was, so how could I cry.
But at this time, it was time for the arrow to be sent on the string, and Wu Huixia was too late to fight back, so she could only harden her scalp. Trying to squeeze out tears, then "bang bang" on the ground to prostrate, and in a short while a large bag popped out on the forehead.
But because the crying was so fake, there was no emotion at all, and there was no shortage of people talking about it in the serious and sad farewell scene, and even some people couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The filial sons did not want to cry themselves, and asked someone to cry specifically, but they made a joke because of it, and the face of the owner was already blue and white.
Wu Huixia's heart was also very embarrassed, after all, life, old age, illness and death were important human affairs, and on such an important occasion, no one left with dignity, let alone satisfied the owner, and it was too much to go.
Wu Huixia awkwardly stepped aside, waiting for the owner to come and "say something" later.
Fortunately, although the owner's family was very dissatisfied, it was also decent, and it also symbolically gave Wu Huixia a hard fee.
Work crying skills
This incident made Wu Huixia reflect for a long time, and she deeply realized that if she continued like this, she would lose her job in a short time, let alone rely on crying spirits to increase family income.
The process of crying spirits can be memorized by rote, but the feelings when crying spirits need to be studied by themselves.
As soon as anyone had a white affair, Wu Huixia would go over and take a look at it and study how other people cried. Slowly, Wu Huixia "had an epiphany". In fact, when crying, you don't need to make yourself cry hard, but find something sad and let your feelings naturally flow.
Speaking of sad things, Wu Huixia has a say.
In order to be able to let her daughter go to school, I have suffered so much; think about my mother who is still on the sickbed, I don't know when I will recover...
As soon as she thought of these things, Wu Huixia's tears seemed to break the line, and they fell down with a snap. She put all the sadness and grievances that she usually could not say to outsiders into the crying spirit, and cried out in mourning, so that the people watching next to her could not help but cry one after another.
After finding the experience, Wu Huixia's "business" became better and better, and her fame became bigger and bigger. Sometimes people from the neighboring villages would come to Wu Huixia's home and invite her to cry. At the end of the year, Wu Huixia caught up with Bai Shiduo, and could have an additional income of 100,000 yuan.
Counting the income from her and her husband's hard work, the family's life has also improved greatly.
Wu Huixia no longer has to worry about her daughter's tuition fees, and can give her children better educational resources as much as possible; the old mother's condition has also been well controlled because of the money to heal, and her physical condition has been greatly improved; Wu Huixia has also built a new house for her family, and the family conditions have been greatly improved. These changes made Wu Huixia feel that her efforts had been rewarded, and her family's profession of crying spirits had changed from the initial resistance to understanding and gratitude.
But at this time, the gossip in the village also began to intensify.
When Wu Huixia's family was poor, the people in the village always felt that she was not easy and were willing to associate with her. But since she relied on the weeping spirit, the people in the village mentioned her, and there was something wrong with her face.
Some people feel that Wu Huixia's work is very obscure, and they usually deliberately stay away from her, for fear of provoking something "something" for themselves.
Some people still think that Wu Huixia's mother is still alive, so they go to cry for others, and they are not afraid of damaging the old mother's life?
However, there are still a large number of people who are very jealous of her because of the improvement of Her life.
Although Wu Huixia's life is getting more and more prosperous, there are fewer and fewer people in the village who can say a few words. However, Wu Huixia has never taken this matter to heart, and the friends who can really make friends are people who can help themselves when they are in difficult times, not those who deliberately stay away from themselves because of a little thing, and even denigrate themselves.
The longer Wu Huixia did this line of work, the more she liked this job, because she could make the living no longer have regrets, and she could make the deceased go on the last journey with dignity.
The more things she experienced, the more experience Wu Huixia had for crying spirits.
Every time Wu Huixia receives a request from the owner, she will ask people about the life of the deceased, understand the greatest regret of the deceased, and the greatest expectations of the filial piety.
Once, a man in a suit and leather shoes and dressed in extraordinary clothes came to Wu Huixia's house and expressed his hope to invite her to his home and cry for his old mother.
Looking up and down at this man, the clothes on his body looked expensive, and the clothes did not look like ordinary people.5 Wu Huixia calculated that he had received a big order, and the bounty afterwards must be quite a lot.
Arriving at the home of the deceased, Wu Huixia learned that the deceased was an old lady who was nearly 100 years old, gave birth to three sons and a daughter, and worked hard to pull four children to grow up, each of them was very successful, and each one was not bad for money.
The coffins of the old ladies, in particular, were made of camphor wood by the children.
I thought that the old lady had such four children, and the old age life must be very satisfactory, but the insiders mentioned this matter and shed tears. The old lady lived alone before she died, and her four children were unwilling to retire, and usually there was no one to take care of the elderly.
Even during the New Year's Festival, children rarely visit their mothers.
The old lady was too bored at home, and she went to the neighbor's house to visit the door without a problem, and as a result, she accidentally fell down when she went out once. After the children knew, none of them were willing to send the elderly to the hospital to accompany the bed to take care of them, but only let the elderly treat themselves at home.
Fortunately, the old man's life is great, and the body is not in serious trouble. But in order not to add trouble, the children let the old man stay at home and stop going out, and the front door was covered with thorns.
The old lady felt that her life was very lonely, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she always had a depressed breath in her heart, her physical condition was getting worse and worse, and she finally passed away alone.
After hearing the old man's story, Wu Huixia thought of her old mother who was still on the sickbed. If it was her, there was no one to take care of her when she was sick, and there was no one to serve her, how sad she would be!
People around them pointed out the old man's four children, so the children were willing to spend so much money on the funeral, just to make their hearts feel better.
Wu Huixia grasped the psychology of the owner, and whenever she knelt in front of the old lady's coffin, she always cried out with tears in her heart: "It is a child who is not filial piety!" ”
Wu Huixia's weeping spirit feelings were in place, and anyone who heard it felt very sad, not to mention the old man's four children.
Along with Wu Huixia's crying, the four children thought of the difficulty of their mother pulling themselves when they were young, and they also thought that they had really done something wrong over the years.
The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, and the four children followed Wu Huixia and left heartfelt tears, kneeling to the side and shouting at the old woman, constantly expressing their gratitude to their mother with their cries.
This time the crying spirit was the one that Wu Huixia remembered the most, because after that time, her voice was completely hoarse, and she was struggling to speak.
After the matter was over, the owner gave her a generous reward. Because of this incident, Wu Huixia was even more famous in the village near the owner.
Eat bitterly to be a good person
Life is smooth sailing, and it is common to encounter one or two difficult things.
Some things are particularly many things, always want to mention some excessive requirements, can not spend these hundreds of dollars in vain.
Once, Wu Huixia had just finished crying Ling, crying in one breath for more than an hour, and her forehead was swollen with a large bag because of the constant prostration, and her knees were also blistered.
It was hard to sit in the chair and rest for a while, but the owner suddenly came to blame, thinking that she had not done a good job with the money, and did not express her emotions vividly.
Wu Huixia touched his red and swollen forehead, smiled bitterly helplessly, and did not say a word, allowing the owner to count down.
After all, having experienced so many things, Wu Huixia could also see through the human heart. To be able to say these words at this time must be an idea, that is, to deduct part of the bounty.
Sure enough, when the matter was over and the owner came to settle the settlement, Wu Huixia found that the bounty he had agreed in advance was a full half less.
Wu Huixia didn't say anything, what she earned was a penny of hard money, if she was unhappy with others because of this, she would only cut off her own business path. After all, how she cries, others look at it in their eyes and feel satisfied, who will still come to invite her in the future.
Wu Huixia was a real person, every time he cried the spirit, he worked very hard, his throat was hoarse after each end, and every time his forehead swollen up a large bag, he couldn't go on for a few days. Especially the knees, which are fine in the winter, can't stand the knees at all in the summer.
These sufferings were nothing to Wu Huixia, because the suffering was still the incomprehension of her family.
The daughter, who was originally lively and cheerful, became silent because of this matter. In school, they will also be ridiculed and isolated by other classmates, some children are more naughty, and they will bully their daughters, so Wu Huixia did not go to school to reflect with the teacher.
The old mother always shed tears at home, and did not say anything to Wu Huixia, even if she was feeding medicine, she did not want to see Wu Huixia.
People in the village will point out when they see the Wu Huixia family, "don't face" what is said lightly, and what is more difficult to obey behind it.
I thought that Wu Huixia would "retreat in spite of difficulties", but I did not expect that the hardships of life made this woman "more and more frustrated and courageous". Over time, seeing the changes that Wuhui Xia weailing had made to the family, the daughter and the old mother also changed from the initial strong opposition to support and gratitude.
With the passage of time, the people in the village slowly understood Wu Huixia's work, and few people discriminated against her. When encountering enthusiastic villagers, they will deliberately joke with Wu Huixia and ask her if she has made a lot of money recently.
Wu Huixia felt that she did not steal or rob, let alone do anything illegal and disorderly, relying on her own hands and strength, earning hard money, and nothing to say. Although what I am exposed to is white, it is a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtue.
Write on the back
The author feels that in fact, no matter what line of work, it should be respected.
Especially those who rely on their own hands to change their lives and work hard to live are more worthy of encouragement and learning.
And Wu Huixia's body also has the unique tenacity of Chinese women, when there is shelter, you can rely on the birds, and when you encounter difficulties, you can also be alone to support the protection of the family from the wind and rain.
In the eyes of others, Wuhui Xia's crying spirit is an obscure thing, which damages the mother's life expectancy. But for Wu Huixia, she did this to treat her mother's illness, and what she did could make the people who lived and died have no regrets, that is, to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and to accumulate blessings for her mother.
Give people in different industries a little more respect and understanding, because you don't understand what kind of pressure they have behind them, and you will prefer to choose this industry that is not understood by people against discrimination.
