In the countryside, there has been a saying that "the deceased is great", whether there is a happy event in the family or what's going on, if you can humble the deceased, you can be humble, after all, it is better to die or bury as soon as possible.
However, my uncle's popularity in the village was very good before his death, and every family had to boast about it, but on the day of his sudden illness and death, Uncle Wang, who was a neighbor, deliberately parked a car in the middle of the road to block the road, and my father hurriedly stepped forward to negotiate when he saw this, but who would have thought that Uncle Wang would come and say: "This road is your family!" I just won't let it, what's wrong! ”
01
Zhang Ze grew up in the countryside, and under the influence of the environment, he naturally understands some aspects of white and happy events.
However, when Zhang Ze was a child, he encountered a collision between red and white in the village, and at that time there was a family that had already set a "good day and auspicious day" for marriage, but just a week before the wedding, an old man in the village died suddenly, and the time immediately rushed together.
At noon, the family reception team and the funeral procession happened to meet on the street of the village, and at this time, the sensible person hurriedly stood up and shouted: "The married person should wait next to him first, and let the deceased pass first." ”
You should also know that when you get married, the wedding car can only drive forward, not reverse, and seven or eight wedding cars are parked quietly next to it and don't dare to move, letting the dead old man pass first.
Zhang Ze, who was watching from the sidelines, asked his father: "Dad, why let the white matter pass first, shouldn't it be important to get married?" ”
But his father said: "Xiao Ze, you are still young, you know little, there are customs in various places, and some places will let the happy pass before, but on our side, the deceased is the greatest, and the deceased are very respectful, so we let the white pass beforehand." ”
Zhang Ze nodded after hearing this, it turned out to be like this, and then Zhang Ze, who had nothing to see, ran to find the uncle, because the uncle was also helping in the white matter at that time.
Zhang Ze's father and uncle are two brothers, and the two families are not very far away, which also makes the relationship between Zhang Ze and the uncle very good, and they run to the uncle's house at both ends in three days.
When Zhang Ze found the uncle, the uncle said: "What are you doing here, hurry home, this is a white matter, don't mess around here, I have delicious food at home, you go to your aunt and let her get you some." ”
After Zhang Ze heard this, he felt that the uncle still understood his own mind and knew what kind of calculus he was making in his heart.
After arriving at the uncle's house, the eldest mother and the eldest mother called her closer than her mother, and the eldest mother came out of the house and said, "Xiao Ze, what's the matter, what are you doing at home, do you call your mother like this?" I don't know if I thought I was your mother, a weird kiss with a small mouth! ”
Zhang Ze said: "Uncle said that there is delicious food at home, so let me come to you, isn't this sweeter and easier to do." ”
The eldest lady laughed and turned around and went into the house to get a bunch of delicious food for Zhang Ze, and said, "Hurry up and take it home and do your homework, just know that you are running around in the village." ”
Satisfied, Zhang Ze returned home and showed off the snacks in his hand to his mother.
In fact, in Zhang Ze's opinion, the uncle and the aunt have been very good to themselves, they have never been bored with themselves, and they have always treated themselves like their children.
Uncle not only has a very good impression in our family, but also in the village, every time someone in the village needs help, he may not call me father, but Uncle is definitely the first in their eyes, and Uncle has never refused, because he knows that in the village, it is not a phenomenon that you help me and I help you, and the relationship is like a family.
For this reason, the eldest mother also quarreled with the uncle many times, saying that the uncle would help him as soon as others called him, and there was nothing in return, what a waste of his time.
Uncle must be unimpressed by this, thinking that the eldest mother is just a woman who doesn't understand anything, just take care of the family.
In Zhang Ze's opinion, his family is still quite happy, but it didn't take long for such a day to happen, and the uncle had an accident!
At that time, Zhang Ze was still in high school, and when he was in his first year of high school, he knew that his uncle was seriously ill for some reason, but the uncle and his aunt never said that he was suffering from cancer!
02
At first, I could still see my uncle from time to time, but in my sophomore year of high school, Zhang Ze, who went home once a week, began to rarely see my uncle again, and asked my father from time to time: "Dad, why don't I see my uncle these days, how is his illness?" Is it getting better? ”
And my father is not very clear about this, he is usually busy working to earn money, and only when he gets off work in the evening, he will go to the hospital to see his uncle.
However, one day in the third year of high school, Zhang Ze, who was reading early in the morning, was called out by the head teacher: "Zhang Ze, your father asked you to go home, saying that something happened at home, you should go back quickly, slow down on the road, call me if you need to ask for leave." ”
Maybe the head teacher has realized what's wrong, only I'm wondering what can happen at home, the family is in good health, but I never thought about the uncle.
Along the way, I returned home with questions, because every time I went home, I would pass by the door of the uncle's house first, and at this time Zhang Ze saw that the door light of the uncle's house was on, so he stopped at the door of the house curiously, but when he looked at home, Zhang Ze's head was instantly confused!
Because the picture that catches my eye is the big scene I saw in someone else's house since I was a child, there is a portrait of my uncle in the middle of the big house, and there is a "constant temperature coffin" behind it!
At this time, Zhang Ze realized a truth, "The dirty things you are afraid of are all people who are in the hearts of others." ”
Hurriedly ran into the house, looked at the uncle in the "constant temperature coffin", tears began to flow uncontrollably, and the lady sitting on the side cried and hugged Zhang Ze and said: "Xiao Ze, your uncle's cancer suddenly worsened and died, and I didn't let you see the last face." ”
Zhang Ze just stood sad and looked at his uncle, without saying a word, at this time his mood was complicated, he didn't know what to say, so he walked to his parents alone and sat down quietly.
In the countryside, there is a custom of keeping the spirit, and the family must sit in the funeral shed and watch the deceased.
The time soon came to the day of the burial, the uncle in the words of the "saying", determined the time and place of the burial, early in the morning, after all the people had eaten salted rice, many people from the village came to help to dig a pit at the burial site, for the afternoon burial.
This was followed by wreaths and some tributes from relatives and friends, and then after lunch, the burial ceremony began.
All the people who helped were ready to go, and with a "coffin", everyone used the strength of milk to carry the coffin to the car, because it was a little far away, and if the car was not used, it was difficult to carry it to the place by hand.
However, at this moment, before the coffin came out of the street, a van suddenly appeared in front of it blocking everyone's way, and you all know that the coffin cannot land during the period, nor can it be parked all the time.
Zhang Ze's relatives and friends began to be a little anxious, shouting: "Whose van is this, move it quickly, don't you know what to do today?"
03
But no one came forward to drive the car away, and then Zhang Ze's father came out and took a closer look, this van was a person in the village who asked the uncle for help, but the uncle refused without time at that time, and there was a holiday, it seems that he didn't want the uncle to be buried with peace of mind!
But Zhang Ze's father hurriedly entered the house, first took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket, and said to this Uncle Wang: "Uncle, you move the car, what is there to wait until the work is done, okay?" ”
I didn't want to hit this Uncle Wang threw the cigarette directly on the ground, not giving my father face at all, and the neighbors next to him began to say next to him when they saw this: "Hurry up and get out of the way, how much hatred and resentment, it's all from the neighborhood, can't you say it after you finish your work?" ”
When Uncle Wang said these words, his face was red with anger and his neck was thick, and he roared angrily: "I just won't let it, what's wrong?" This is the way of your house, if you ask me to move away, I have to move away? I'm not going to let it today! ”
Although Zhang Ze's father repeatedly said good things next to him, the response he got was always "don't let it"!
At this time, Zhang Ze's father also became angry, and said: "You have to let it go today, and if you don't let it, you have to let me move his car to the side!" ”
Then everyone stepped forward one after another, carrying the car to the side a meter away, this Uncle Wang didn't dare to say anything next to him, and the funeral continued.
This Uncle Wang really can't see the situation clearly, knowing that the deceased is great, and it is good to be buried as soon as possible, but he is dead here, do you think Uncle Wang's approach is right?
