The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 428 The Death of Old Man Lin 2

At this time, Lin Huzi suddenly thought of a sentence that his father secretly said when his grandfather passed away: "From now on, there will be no father."

At that time, Lin Huzi was still young, and he didn't know what it meant when he heard this sentence, but he understood it instantly when he recalled it today.

Crying silently in the room for a while, Lin Huzi went out after he calmed down a bit, found a wooden bucket and a cloth towel and walked to the well.

The servant who stayed in the main house of the Lin family saw this sight and hurried forward: "Master, let's do these small things."

Lin Huzi shook his head: "No, why don't you go and watch over it?"

Seeing his master's resolute attitude, the young man could only retreat obediently, and guard Lin Yao from the side to prevent him from going crazy suddenly.

Lin Huzi first fetched water to wash the wooden bucket and cloth towel, and then walked into the house with a bucket full of clean water.

When he entered the house just now, Lin Huzi noticed a sour smell in the house. He didn't know whether it was because the house hadn't been cleaned for too long or old man Lin hadn't bathed for too long.

Lin Huzi was used to this sour smell a few years ago. After the separation, the family conditions gradually improved. Lin Xiazhi asked his family members to take a bath frequently, and this smell gradually moved away from Lin Huzi's nose.

Lin Huzi wiped old man Lin's face first, then his neck, hands, feet, arms...

Bit by bit, old man Lin wiped everything clean, and the color of a bucket of clean water gradually turned muddy.

After Mr. Lin was clean, Lin Huzi went to the clothes cabinet, found a clean undershirt, and put it on for Mr. Lin with difficulty.

It's hard to say much about how he lived during his lifetime, but now that a person is dead, he should be allowed to go away with dignity.

When Lin Huzi was doing these things, the big bronze bell in the village rang, and Li was calling a meeting of the villagers to inform everyone of this matter.

Before Uncle Lin was taken away by the official, although Old Man Lin's body looked dry and thin, his legs and feet were a little limp, and walking was inconvenient, he didn't look like he was about to die. The news of his death surprised the villagers.

After a person dies, the public will restrain their harsh demands.

Before, everyone felt that old man Lin had not educated his children well, and that everything that happened in his family was his own fault.

Now that he is dead, people in the village don't talk about those things before, and there is no need to shout at the top of their voices during the meeting for the first time. Everyone just waits for the Lin family to finish the mourning hall and go to express their condolences.

Although the discussions were not clear, each had different ideas in their hearts, and many people were guessing what the youngest Lin would do in the future.

The Lin family didn't have time to take care of the feedback in the village, and the people Li Xiu sent out moved quickly. Not a while after the village meeting, they rushed back with large and small bags, and Lin Chengzu and Yang Yusheng were with them.

Lin Chengzu has no family affection for old man Lin and youngest Lin, but he is his grandfather by blood after all. As the boss of the second room, he must hurry back as soon as possible when something like this happens.

Old man Lin died in the main house of the Lin family, and his mourning hall is also arranged in the main house of the Lin family.

Since the main house of the Lin family hadn't been cleaned up for a long time, the people who came back from the shopping would pack up the things non-stop, lest the mourning hall be arranged for the villagers to come and look at it too embarrassingly.

Because of the time delay, when Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu both came back, the mourning hall hadn't been set up yet.

Lin Xiazhi was annoyed and happy when he saw everyone cleaning seriously. He directly said that he didn't need to clean the rest of the rooms except for the few rooms he needed to use.

Now only youngest Lin will be left to live in the main house of the Lin family in the future, and it is useless to clean up the extra rooms.

With Lin Xiazhi's order, everyone's speed finally increased, and they stopped wasting time on cleaning.

Seeing that the mourning hall was almost built, Li Xiu and Yang Yusheng went to a nearby house to borrow tables, chairs and benches.

There are almost no people living in this area. When they moved, many people thought that the stools and tables at home were too old and did not move them away. They bought a new set in their new home. Of course, this kind of funeral is not easy to borrow from other people’s New Monday. Benches, so what Li Xiu asked someone to borrow were the tables, chairs and benches in the empty rooms that had been idle for a long time.

Everyone borrowed the unused things from the old house very quickly, and they went back to their old house, wiped the dust off the tables and stools, and helped them move to the main house of the Lin family.

Li Xiu was very grateful for the enthusiasm of the villagers. She grabbed a few handfuls of melon seeds and peanuts and stuffed them into the pockets of the villagers.

After the tables, chairs and benches were moved, the mourning hall was almost set up, and the villagers who came to help simply sat down in the yard and chatted while eating melon seeds and peanuts.

Other villagers also rushed over one after another. Everyone saw the old man Lin who had put on his shroud, chatting or helping in the yard.

Lin Chengzong rushed back from the academy in a hurry, and went to kowtow to old man Lin a few times as soon as he came back.

In the early years, he was very afraid of old man Lin and youngest Lin. After the separation, this fear gradually diminished. Later, many things happened, so that Lin Chengzong completely lost his fear of them, and also dissipated other emotions, just like Strangers of blood.

After kowtowing, Lin Chengzong went outside to greet the guests with his elder brother, elder brother, second elder brother, and brother-in-law. Only Li Xiu and Lin Huzi stayed inside.

The villagers knew about the situation of the Lin family, and it was no surprise to see the attitude of the three children of the Lin family.

The first day passed like this. Lin Xiazhi is a married man who doesn't need to stay to watch the night, and Cheng Wenliu is the grandson-in-law, so he doesn't need to stay to watch the night. They drove the carriage back to Jiangning County after dinner , I went back and took a shower before I could enter the house to see Xiao Baozi.

Lin Huzi, Lin Chengzu and Lin Chengzong were not so relaxed. They had to stay in the mourning hall tonight.

Li Xiu and Yang Yusheng packed up the things in the main house, and went home to take care of the children. Xiaomi Tuan and Xiaonian Gao were still young, and their souls couldn't be easily suppressed, so they dared not let them come here under such circumstances.

The next day, vendors who were doing business with the Lin family heard the news and came to have a look.

Li Xiu gave the servants a lot of money, bought a lot of things, and decorated the mourning hall very grandly.

The merchants in the outer village looked at such a mourning hall. They used to hear the villagers chatting about how the Lin family used to send things and money to the elders, and praised the Lin family for their filial piety.

Lin Huzi blushed when he heard others say this, feeling very embarrassed.

Lin Chengzu felt that what everyone said was right, they had already separated and they treated old man Lin and youngest Lin very well, and he didn't even mind that old man Lin used the money they gave to support Uncle Lin and Liu Chunhua.

As for Lin Xiazhi, he curled his lips and said quietly to Cheng Wenliu: "It's just that people have to endure discomfort and do things they don't want to do for the sake of face."

Cheng Wenliu understood the affairs of the Lin family fairly well, he did not answer what Lin Xiazhi said, experience told him that it was best to keep silent at such times.

The funeral was held at the top of the ten miles and eight villages, and it was so lively that no one could fault it. The only thing that worried Lin Xiazhi was that the youngest Lin looked stupid.

For the past two days, the youngest Lin sat blankly at the door of the room where the coffin was placed. If someone talked to him, he would ignore anyone, but fortunately he didn't cry or make trouble, and everyone gradually ignored him.

After dinner in the mourning hall the next day, Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu still had Baozi to take care of at home, and they returned to Jiangning County like yesterday.

After they left, Lin Huzi and Lin Chengzu argued about when to arrange for Old Man Lin to be buried.

Now that the weather has gradually warmed up, it is impossible to preserve the corpse without freezing technology, and it will rot if left for a long time.

Lin Huzi wanted to stop the spirit for seven days, he thought it would let old man Lin's soul rest in peace.

Lin Chengzu disagreed, leaving the room for seven days would definitely stink, he thought three days would be enough, and three days would be enough to appease the soul, seven days and three days is just a formality.

Li Xiu listened to their opinions and did not interrupt, and the others were also quiet.

Lin Huzi was extremely insistent on this matter, no matter what Lin Chengzu said, he would let him go for seven days.

The two couldn't settle down, Li Xiu saw this and asked everyone to make a decision together, support the seven-day stay behind Lin Huzi, and support the three-day stay behind Lin Chengzu.

Naturally, there was no suspense. Except for Li Xiu, everyone chose Lin Chengzu.

Lin Huzi was so angry that he didn't even eat dinner, so he went straight to the mourning hall and knelt down to burn papers for old man Lin. He felt sorry for his father who gave birth to him and raised him, and he knew that what the children did was not angry.

"Ah, it's not that we don't want to spend money to buy it. Now that the weather is getting hot, we won't let the guests come and smell the smell of the whole house." Lin Chengzu looked at Lin Huzi's stubborn back, and turned to Li Huzi. Xiu sighed helplessly.

Li Xiu understood Lin Huzi and Lin Chengzu and the others. Standing in the middle, he couldn't say anything, so he could only nod his head to show that he understood, and then went into the room to accompany Lin Huzi.

Seeing Lin Huzi's flushed eyes, Li Xiu swallowed all the words of persuasion, silently picked up the paper money, knelt down and burned it with Lin Huzi.

Seeing this, Lin Chengzu also went into the house after eating, found a futon and knelt down to burn paper, and Lin Chengzong did the same.

The funeral has been decided on the third day, the family members are kneeling in the mourning hall, Yang Yusheng did not go in, he arranged for someone to guard in the mourning hall, and personally went to find the Taoist priest who invited Lin Chengzu, please ask the Taoist priest to be a good one hour.

After doing some calculations with the pointer of the compass, the Taoist priest decided that tomorrow's burial time would be from the second to the third quarter of Shen time, and then he performed a ritual ceremony in the mourning hall and left behind a basketful of yellow talismans.

After the burial time was confirmed, other things had to be arranged accordingly. It was the first time that Yang Yusheng was unskilled in doing some things. Fortunately, Li Xiu came out of the house, and the two discussed together to make the arrangements properly.

After all, it was the older generation of the in-laws who passed away. Although the older generation was not close to the in-laws, when it was time for the burial, the Cheng family should go and have a look.

It was inconvenient for Cheng Fulang to take the children with him. When he was going out on the third day, Father Cheng got into the carriage and went to Linjiacun with Lin Xiazhi and the others.
