The Great Era of Siheyuan

"Shazhu, cook faster. Qin Huairu, don't just stand there. Come over here and help Shazhu. And the rest of you, Yan Jiecheng, call your brother Yan Jiefang over as well. Guangtian Guangfu, you two should also get ready. We'll start leaving the city after we finish our meal.

Don't waste time, if it's any later, everyone will be on their way to work and it will be hard to walk! Also, please help me call an old man and ask him if he found someone to dig the pit yesterday?"

It was still dark in the morning, and around four o'clock in the morning Liu Haizhong woke people up to start working. Li Wenqiang was still sleeping soundly and was not affected by them at all.

"Don't worry, Uncle. I will do my job well. I guarantee you will have hot rice to eat soon!"

When Sha Zhu saw Liu Haizhong call Qin Huairu over to help him, he smiled so hard that his mouth almost crooked, and his eyes were full of Qin Huairu.

"It's still early for dinner, so you guys should prepare the necessary things first! Jie Kuang, go and count the wreaths and paper money scattered on the road. We have to hurry up, otherwise there will be traffic jams on the road if we are late. If you ask me, it would be better to just call a carriage to pull it, but you insist on asking people to carry it, which is too much trouble!"

The third uncle stood aside and complained to Liu Haizhong.

"You-you think I don't want to? I asked, and it costs more than ten yuan for a carriage to pull the coffin out of the city. But Jia Zhang is unwilling to pay for it, what can I do? I can't pay for it myself, right?"

Liu Haizhong spread his hands, expressing helplessness.

"Did Old Yi say anything? Jia Dongxu is his apprentice. If Jie Cheng and Guang Tian were asked to carry the body over such a long distance, would they be able to do it?"

The third uncle said worriedly.

"Mrs. Jia Zhang said that they would give them an extra fifty cents each, and they all agreed. What could Old Yi say? Jia Dongxu is his apprentice, not his son, so why would he care so much!"

Liu Haizhong said calmly.

"Old Liu, how are things arranged?"

After a while, Yi Zhonghai came over yawning. Originally, he was supposed to be in charge of this matter, but these two people, in order to fight for the position of the eldest master, snatched it away forcibly, making him feel relieved.

"Almost done, we'll leave after dinner! Did you find the people to dig the pit I told you to do yesterday?"

Liu Haizhong stood up straight and asked in a leadership posture.

"When have I ever made a mistake?"

Yi Zhonghai said calmly.

Liu Haizhong was very upset when he saw this attitude of having everything under control. What does that mean? He thinks you are the boss, but why is he so disrespectful to you?

Just when he was thinking about what to say, Sha Zhu started calling for dinner.

"It's time to eat, everyone, hurry up and eat so you can get going!"

"Silly Zhu, can you speak? If you can't, just shut your stinky mouth! What's the point of going on the road? It sounds scary."

When Liu Haizhong heard what Sha Zhu said, he felt the surroundings were gloomy and started to curse him. No wonder people called him Sha Zhu, he was really stupid.

"Look at my mouth, I'm so careless, I'm sorry, please forgive me, don't bother with me, let's eat first, eat!"

Sha Zhu smiled awkwardly and embarrassedly.

After hearing his apology, Liu Haizhong didn't want to continue talking to him and shouted in annoyance.

"Everyone, put down your work and eat first. You can work better after you are full!"

As soon as these words were spoken, those who were doing the work began to gather around, scrambling for food. The multi-grain rice distributed by the factory was a rare and good thing. It would be a shame not to eat more.

No one was polite and they happily started eating with some tofu and cabbage. Soon they had finished two large bowls, which made Jia Zhang feel a little distressed.

When everyone had almost finished eating, Liu Haizhong came out and said to Yan Bugui.

"Old Yan, it's up to you from now on!"

"Haha, this matter still depends on me, just wait and see! Everyone has eaten and drunk enough and is ready to start working. Are the ones who have awakened the spirits ready?"

The third uncle shouted.

"Ready!"

There were a few responses from below, and then Shazhu Yan Jiecheng, Liu Guangtian and others began to enter the house, tie ropes and insert sticks to tie up the coffin.

The coffin is placed in front of the filial son hall

The guardian dharma Xuantan is on both sides

First, please invite Black Tiger Marshal Zhao

Raise the whip to cut through the barriers to ensure safety

The door gods are divided into left and right

Twenty-eight constellations guard the treasure coffin

This is not a funeral place

The Dead Walk to the West

"Awake!"

Yan Bugui shouted a spell to raise the spirit. When the sound came out, several people in the room shouted angrily and slowly lifted the coffin.

When they reached the gate, Yan Bugui called Banggeng to the door and pointed to a small basin next to it.

"Bang Geng, hold the porcelain basin above your head with both hands in front of your father. When I tell you to smash the basin, you will smash it with your left hand. Got it?"

"understood!"

Bang Geng looked at him with a confused look.

Kneeling in the dust with a golden basin on the head

The generals guarding the emperor lined up on both sides

Filial sons and grandsons kneel before the coffin

Escorting the deceased to the Yaotai

"Bang stalk, smash the pot!"

Bang Geng, who heard the voice, slammed his hands down without thinking.

"Touch~!"

The porcelain basin made a crisp sound and spun around on the ground, but apart from making a hole, nothing was hurt.

When they saw this basin, everyone's eyelids twitched. The basin prepared by the Jia family turned out to be an enamel basin. It was porcelain on the surface but metal inside. It seemed like they didn't want Jia Dongxu to leave!

"Who? Who prepared this iron basin? Jia Zhang, are you sick? Who uses an iron basin for breaking pots?"

Liu Haizhong looked at the Jia family members angrily. Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang both lowered their heads and dared not raise them.

"I prepared this basin because I wanted Dongxu to have a better life over there. It cost me several dollars!"

Jia Zhang said guiltily.

"You-you are really incapable of achieving anything, but you are always causing trouble. Who told you to use an enamel basin? Don't you want to send your son away? When you get out, step on this basin hard! Make sure it breaks, okay?"

There was no time to think about it. Yan Bugui could only hope that the people behind him who were carrying the coffin would step on it and it would burst after they came out.

“Bang~!”

"Bang~!"

"Clang~!"

"Pfft~!"

After a few noises, the iron basin was intact except for a small dent. I have to say that the quality of this basin is good.

"Come on, Silly Zhu. You're strong. Do it again!"

Seeing that the iron basin was intact, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel furious.

"It's okay, just look at me!"

Sha Zhu answered confidently, then when passing by the iron basin, he raised one foot and stomped down hard. With a loud "bang", a small hole was finally made in the iron basin by Sha Zhu, and everyone was delighted.

"Let's go! Those carrying wreaths and scattering paper money go in front, hurry up, get ready! Jia Zhang, you and Qin Huairu should cry quickly, why are you still standing there?"

Yan Bugui looked at the two people with red and swollen eyes standing in front and asked curiously.

"I've cried so much these past two days that I can't cry anymore!"

Qin Huairu said awkwardly.

"If you can't cry, just howl. Even just a few howls will do!"

Liu Haizhong gave them an idea.

"Okay, let's give it a try! Oh~ my Dongxu! You can go with peace of mind. Mom will definitely educate Banggeng to adulthood and take care of me in my old age! You have to take good care of yourself over there. Mom will find you a few wives, and you can go with peace of mind!"

Everyone was upset when they heard what Jia Zhang said. Qin Huairu felt embarrassed and angry when she heard it!

If any mother-in-law tells her daughter-in-law to burn her wife in front of her, what does she think she is?
