"Obituary

The unfilial man Li Yan served without status and brought disaster to the family Yan Li Qianjin; the boss was born at Youshi on June 13, 1928. Unfortunately, he died of illness at Sishi on March 12, 1990.

If the treatment is ineffective, he will die in his old age, and he will have a life expectancy of sixty-three."

Lao Ge stopped writing and looked up at Li Yan, "Stove, that's how you write it?"

Li Yan nodded, "Just write it like this."

"You and the old captain... don't let your mother fall in love again. How about changing 'family strictness' to 'uncle'."

"No need to change," Li Yan shook his head, "Just write it like this. Uncle Wu has devoted half his life to me. Although he has no title, he has always treated me like his own son. No matter what, this is what I should do.

"

Li Yan held an envelope in his hand and choked as he spoke, tears streaming down his face.

Li Qian walked quickly and peacefully. When Li Kai found him at around eleven o'clock, he had no breath left. With a smile on his face, he took out the blanket covering his body with his left hand and hung it on his lap. His index finger was slightly extended and pointed at Fuyang.

Mountain.

Li Yan drank too much last night and did not go back. He simply took a day off and planned to leave with his sons in the evening. Liu Fengzhi had no choice but to go back by herself because she had to work the night shift.

When Li Yan saw Li Qianjin's condition, he still asked Li Ke to drive him to the town hospital. The doctor looked at his pupils with a flashlight and told him for sure that there was no need for resuscitation and that the person had already gone. After several doctors

After consultation, it was determined that there was a high probability of death from myocardial infarction.

After listening to Li Yan's words, Lao Ge nodded slightly and continued to write, "According to the order of mercy, it is scheduled to lay a memorial ceremony for me at home on March 13, 1990, and cremate at noon on March 14.

funeral.

He was buried next to his ancestor's tomb.

Wherever

News about clan relatives and friends

The unfilial son Li Yan weeps and bleeds.”

After writing, someone took it over, dried the floating ink, and posted it on the wall outside the door.

There is a large white lantern hanging on both sides of the door, with the word "Dian" written on it in black; in the center of the courtyard, a thick khaki felt cloth is spread from the door to the steps of the main room; everything in the main room has been vacated.

Li Qianjin's body is parked in the middle. The body is covered by a purple and gold-patterned sheet. There is a black cloth hanging on the wall behind. On the black cloth is a large white word "Dian". On the left side of the black cloth is written "Sorrow and Music Array".

"Mourning Formation", on the right is "Lament of Tears", and above it is "Mourning with Deep Mourning".

In front of the body is a small table. There is an incense burner in the center of the table, with four incense sticks as thick as a little finger inserted in it. A candle as thick as a wrist is burning on each side. In front of the small table is a brazier for burning paper money.

.

There are mattresses on both sides of the body. Li Kai's seven brothers and Chang Dalong are kneeling on the left side, Liu Fengzhi is kneeling on the first right side, followed by Li Kai's four sisters-in-law and two older sisters kneeling on the right side. The fourth sister-in-law is pregnant, in the countryside.

There is no need to kneel down to follow the rules.

Liu Fengzhi was picked up by Li Ke from the courtyard of the machinery factory. She was originally on the second night shift today. After hearing about the incident, she found a good sister to take over the shift and hurried over. On the way, she also picked up the food according to Li Yan's wishes.

4500 yuan.

The people kneeling on both sides are wearing full mourning clothes, also called full mourning clothes. It is a set of mourning clothes simply cut and sewn from white mourning cloth. Those who wear full mourning clothes at funerals are usually close relatives and nephews. Originally, Li Yan only meant himself.

One family should observe full filial piety, and the family members of Li Xin's brothers should observe half filial piety. However, Li Miao was the first to object, insisting that his family should also observe full filial piety, and the other families also agreed. In the end, Li Yan had to agree, but agreed to kneel down.

Apart from myself and my wife, only the younger generation was allowed to participate.

"Dad, have you made the funeral call?" Li Kai asked in a low voice when he saw Li Yan coming in and kneeling in front of the funeral.

"Well, we've informed everyone of everything we can think of. I guess the fastest we can get here is before dark." Li Yan was wearing a heavy filial piety dress, and it was not very convenient for him to kneel down.

Li Yan notified people from far away, such as Mr. Huang from Shimen, Lin Songbei from Kyoto, Han Zeqi from Shanghai, and some old friends who had friendship with Li Qianjin. Others rushed to notify the rest of the folks and friends.

Li Yan took out a cowhide envelope from his inner pocket. He found it on the desk in Li Qianqian's bedroom. The envelope was written "Li Yanqi", so the finder quickly gave it to Li Yan.

The envelope was not sealed, so Li Kai took out the contents, which were two pieces of paper with the words: Li Yan Wu'er written on the top.

Li Kai was startled and looked up at Li Yan.

Li Yan nodded with red eyes, then turned his head and shed tears.

Li Kai continued to look down.

"Li Yan my son:

This is the first time I call you this. In fact, in my heart, I have always regarded you as my biological son. I originally wanted to carry this thought into the coffin. After all, the name is not justified. You have a father and a mother, so you should not be given to me.

You add more words to your words. But when I am about to die, I don’t have too many scruples. Let’s just say I act according to my heart for once.

Thank you very much for coming to my side and allowing me, a lonely person, to live a long life and enjoy the happiness of a family.

I remember that on New Year’s Eve, you held Xiaokai and cried bitterly, saying that you felt guilty and that you owed me a lot and had nothing to repay. Silly boy, you think too much. Over the years, you have paid far more than you imagined.

There is much more, and I am already content.

It's a pity that I have nothing left for you, so I'll forgive you.

I've been feeling very flustered lately, and I always thought it was caused by a problem with my lungs, but it doesn't feel like it. Anyway, my days are probably numbered, so I want to tell you some things in advance, and you can help me arrange some things.

Li Ming, I will leave you the yard where I live now. The little monkey has worked hard in the past few years. He has married a wife and established a family. He should have his own nest. I feel relieved that you will protect this place. I hope you will be happy.

Live a good life. Xiao Lingzi is a good girl and will be your good wife. Don't bully others. But you can't bully them. Your mouth is so stupid that you can't talk to Xiao Lingzi. But you also have your good son, people.

Be down-to-earth, work hard, and be dedicated to your feelings. I hope you can live in harmony, respect and love each other.

Chang Dalong, when I heard your name for the first time, I thought of my elder brother. You two have similar tempers and are both naive. You are a good boy. No matter what you have experienced in the past, you will forget everything that should be forgotten.

Well, good times have come, so take advantage of them and live them well in the future.

Silly boy, you have to be filial to your current parents. They are all good people and will not treat you badly. Also, listen to your brother more. That boy has many evil intentions, but he is kind and smart at heart. There is no harm in following him.

Eat. I know you like my medals and so on. Every time you see them, you can’t bear to blink. I put them in a small box and put them in the high and low cabinets. I leave them to you as a thought. I can’t let you

If Dad keeps it, he will definitely bury these medals under the ground with me."

Li Kai watched with tears and slowly turned to the second page.

"Li Kai, although he is not my biological grandson, he is better than my biological grandson. I have a house at No. 29 Jinhua Street. It was the residence assigned to me by the state after I returned from work. The government implemented housing reform the year before last and paid some money. This house

The house already belongs to me personally. I leave it to you as a thought. If there are difficulties in the future, there will be a way out. Don't rush to take action. Now that we are opening up and invigorating, the reform of people's housing is also gradually

I always feel that this house can be developed in other ways in the future. After all, it is next to Anseong Shopping Mall. The location is still very good, although it is a bit small.

Yan'er, I gave this house to Xiao Kai. Don't think about selling it to me to build a tomb. Xiao Kai has the final say on what to do with it in the future. After a person dies, what's the point of building a tomb that's so easy to wait for the tomb to be robbed?

ah."

Li Kai had a vague impression of this house. In his previous life, it was sold by Li Yan for less than two thousand yuan, which was used to renovate the ancestral tomb circle of Li Qian's family. This old man had foresight. The ancestral tomb of Li Qian's family

At that time, Li Yan built it to look like a martyrs' cemetery. It was surrounded by a wall of pine trees, and there were cobblestone paths inside. "Dieffenbachia" was planted on both sides of the path. The total cost was between five and six thousand yuan.

"Yan'er, after I die, the funeral should be as simple as possible. Don't be extravagant. It's not worth it or necessary. If you have money and are rich, stay and live a good life. I will only be happy if you live a happy life.

Yan'er, after I die, there are several families you should think about for me. Your Aunt Cui'er, your Aunt Hongmei, and your Uncle Baifu, if these elders have something to do at home, you can help them as much as you can.

.Cause you trouble.

I still keep most of the hospital bills over the years and put them in a box on the high and low cabinets. They must have been burned when I left. I never thought about reimbursement. It is not easy for the country. It has raised such an old waste like me.

After many years, I can no longer cause trouble to the government. Also, after my death, the state will give me some funeral expenses and other things, so I have to pay my party dues. This is also the last honor of a party member.

Okay, I will leave these matters to you, I can rest assured.

Don't be sad, Xiaokai told me that a person's real death is not when his own funeral is held, but when the funeral of the last person who remembers him is held. After all, I can still 'live' for many years.

In your hearts.

Also, Xiao Kai, don’t limit his growth, his future achievements will be much higher than yours.”

Li Qianjin

February 11, 1990

After Li Kai read this "will", he lay on his father's back and burst into tears, causing the other people who accompanied him to shed tears.

There was an endless stream of people paying homage and burning paper. Li Qianjin’s many years of virtue in Banshantun had accumulated a lot of popularity. Almost all the villagers in Banshantun came. There was a long queue in front of the gate of Wuyang Wuyang.

Team. Soon Dabao Master, Dali Master and Haizi Master arrived one after another. Together with Fugui Master who was already waiting here, four old men in their sixties or seventies surrounded Li Qianjin's body and burst into tears.

Behind the old men, there were villagers from Aoshanping and Fuchang Villages who came after hearing the news. Most of them were older people. There were hundreds of people from the two villages. Suddenly, green smoke curled up in the yard, and there were cries.

Bursts.

At almost six o'clock, Mr. Huang arrived with Huang Ping. Li Yan, Li Kai and Chang Dalong went up to meet him. They knelt down and kowtowed to Mr. Huang in the yard.

Huang Liwei was also in tears. After he and his son Huang Ping helped the two of them up, they staggered to the body. He murmured with tears in his eyes: "Old company commander...you don't keep your word...how many days have you promised?"

I retired in a month and came to live with you. We still have to go fishing, and you still have to make fish soup for me. Why don't you keep your word... You are not such a person... You can't

That’s it… ah…”

The steward burned the paper money, and Huang Ping knelt down and kowtowed four times. He got up and asked for filial piety clothes and went to watch the funeral. When Li Yan nodded, the steward brought him a half-filial piety, put it on and Huang Ping knelt next to Li Yan.

We had steamed buns and stew for dinner. There was a lot of meat, so Li Yan let it go.

There were also many people who wanted to stay and watch after the meal. Li Jinjin had worked hard for the villagers for most of his life, and the villagers were still grateful.

After deliberation, it was decided that only Li Yan's family and Li Suo's couple would stay at the funeral, and the rest would go back. Originally, Li Yan asked Mao Xiaoling to go back too, but it was really difficult for her new daughter-in-law, who had just entered the house, to catch up with this. But Mao Xiaoling insisted.

Everyone thought it would be nice to have her accompany Liu Fengzhi, so they agreed.

At around nine o'clock, two middle-aged men stumbled into the yard, crying and howling. After entering the house, they knelt down in front of the coffin.
