The two went back to school in a little embarrassment, and found that Xiao Lin and the old people in the town were all here.

Suona was not invited, and the two men with a guilty conscience were told:

Principal Tang's funeral was scheduled for the next day.

Tonight is the last night's wake, which is especially important!

They need to stay overnight.

And the temporary mourning hall is in the abandoned school halfway up the mountain.

"What, the wake-up call takes a whole night?"

Juan'er's eyes widened, she couldn't believe it.

That dilapidated school, you actually want to stay there all night?

The man beside him was also reluctant.

The old man of the Bai family took two steps forward, coughed and said:

"It's a rule to keep your filial son and grandson guarding the mourning hall! Those who come to the funeral also need someone to bring tea and cigarettes and boil water. This is etiquette! Since you are Principal Tang's closest friends, you must go to the mourning hall!

Unless you are not her relatives, you can leave now! "

"We will never stop you!"

When the old people around heard this, they nodded in approval.

They don't care about other people, this Principal Tang's funeral must follow the rules of Huayi Town!

See you,

Juan'er smiled bitterly and explained:

"Damn! Did you misunderstand? I'll definitely go. For such an important matter, don't worry. Tonight, I'll be wearing sackcloth and filial piety to watch for my aunt!"

"Are you really going?"

The man was a little surprised and blurted out.

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone who had just softened immediately changed.

Seeing that her husband was ignorant of the overall situation, Juan'er gave him a stern look, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice:

"You don't even look at what time it is, can I not go?"

"Ah That's good!"

The old Bai family nodded and continued:

"Keeping the spirit is to show filial piety, and there is no room for ambiguity! If you have nothing to do, go ahead and prepare!"

"Alas, we have also notified the dolls outside about Principal Tang, and we hope they can catch up tomorrow!"

As I get older, my tears are unbearable.

I'm too lazy to watch these old people cry, and I don't want to hear anything anymore.

Juaner and the man simply packed up their things, then took their two children to the mourning hall of the abandoned school halfway up the mountain.

The road in the mountains is not easy.

Juan'er and the man were tired and panting, and had to hold onto the two dolls.

From time to time there is a stone on the mountain road, and it is easy to slip and fall.

The man is very unhappy:

"What kind of broken roads, what poor places, what poor rules!? Let me tell you, you are not allowed to deal with these broken things in the future! I don't want to come here anymore!"

"You think I want to take care of it? When I was holding other people's money, I didn't see you being so angry! If you don't want money, get out! If you work outside, you have to give others a good face, don't shame your old lady here!"

Juan'er retorted angrily, if it wasn't for the reasonable inheritance of her aunt's property, when she said that when she was guarding the mourning hall, she should have turned her head and left!

When I came, I didn't know there were so many rules before the funeral.

Immediately, he sighed and complained:

"It's better to be in the city. If you cremated and buried it, you're done? You have to guard what spirit you have, you're going to die!"

"That's right, I think this mountain is too biased. I don't know how many people will come to the funeral. Those people who have no relatives or friends here will be so ostentatious. They just stand and talk without back pain!"

The man quickly agreed, very impatient.

His words also made Juaner think:

My aunt has no relatives or friends here, and I don't know how she persisted for 18 years.

She didn't know how many times she had walked this bumpy mountain road where both of them felt uncomfortable on the soles of their feet.

......

The temporary mourning hall is very simple.

The old school next to it is also in ruins and a little deserted.

When the two arrived, they found that there were already many wreaths piled on the old walls.

They come, the security.

Juan'er walked into the mourning hall, put on sackcloth and a mourning scarf.

After all, Principal Tang is also his aunt, so he has to wear white filial hats to the two children.

Put incense and kowtow reverently.

Kneeling on the straw mat next to the coffin.

The sky gradually darkened, and tiredness swept over several people in the mourning hall.

Looking at the unhappy man beside her, Juan'er yawned and said sleepily:

"Anyway, no one is coming, so let's take a rest here for the night!"

The voice just fell,

Suddenly, two figures walked in.

It's Xiao Lin and Xiao Ai. They came to watch the spirit after they settled the school's affairs.

Soon, several figures walked in.

Even those old people in the daytime went up the mountain road and came to this mourning hall.

Tonight is the last night's wake, and everyone pays special attention to it.

Seeing that the mourning hall was quickly filled with people, some people helped to boil water, pass cigarettes, and receive those who came to worship.

The night added a mysterious color to the whole mountain, and also added some danger and difficulty to the road up the mountain.

despite this,

More and more people came to the mourning hall!

Everyone endured their sleepiness, and kept the spirit here for Principal Tang.

Seeing that there were more and more people in the mourning hall, Juaner did not understand:

As an ordinary principal, my aunt stayed in this poor place for 18 years, which is quite rare.

Unexpectedly, in the mourning hall in the middle of the night, there would be so many people spontaneously coming to watch the spirit! ?

Even, even these older generation, regardless of the difficulty of going up the mountain, just came to guard the aunt's spirit and prepare for tomorrow's farewell.

Looking at Xiao Ai who was beside her in a depressed mood, Juan'er suppressed her sleepiness and asked:

"Why do so many people come to keep the spirit? Is this also the rule of your Huayi Town?"

"Everyone came spontaneously to see Principal Tang off."

Xiao Ai said in a dull voice, not wanting to pay attention to this Juaner.

How can people who are selfish in their hearts understand Principal Tang's behavior?

The people who came to the mourning hall were not only the parents of the children, but also many people who had received help from the principal.

Some of these people are from nearby villages.

Some were in other cities and rushed over overnight when they heard the news of Principal Tang's death.

......

Staying in this temporary mourning hall, Juan'er felt a little numb in her legs.

I want to go out and get some air.

Looking at the person who was carrying the tea, she went out from time to time, and when she went outside the mourning hall for a while, she felt that the person must also go out to breathe.

Immediately squeezed out of the mourning hall and walked outside.

Opening the sagging curtain of the mourning hall, she looked up, her whole body trembled violently, and her expression froze in place of astonishment. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

At this moment,

Except in the abandoned school halfway up the mountain, in the temporary mourning hall.

More people are standing outside!

Densely packed, there are hundreds of people!

Seeing Juan'er come out to breathe, her husband also hurriedly followed. He was shocked to see the scene in front of him!

How can there be so many people! ?

Aunt, what kind of existence is that?

......

The dolls had white paper flowers tied to their chests, and the adults spontaneously stayed behind to help receive those attending the principal's funeral.

Serving tea, delivering cigarettes, and boiling water all require manpower.

At the foot of the mountain, there are the former students of the principal, who are on their way~

Unlike ordinary funerals, many people came to the mourning hall, but it was not very lively.

Everyone who comes here carries a solemnity, grief, and nostalgia!

The night was bleak and long, but in the end, the next day dawned.

The day of Principal Tang's funeral, along with the rising sun, also came...
