Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role

Shi Yan respectfully knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the seventh uncle who was on the top, and kowtowed down with one head. When he lifted it up, his forehead was bright red. Shi Yan seemed to be unable to bear it. Stay in shape.

His voice was weak, but his tone was firm: "Seventh Uncle, what your old man saw with his own eyes today, and what all the villagers and fathers heard with his own ears, now that my father goes, the family will not be a family.

My mother is like an enemy to me, I wish I would die, and my son is even more blunt that Shi Yan is useless.

When Shi Yan was treated like this, none of his brothers and sisters came forward to help him speak. I think it was because Shi Yan was usually too harsh, and the affection between his brothers and sisters was not comparable to that of his neighbors. "

Some people couldn't listen and said bluntly: "Iron egg, don't say that, we heard clearly just now, all the expenses of your family over the years are earned by you!

Your mother and your brother ate and drank yours, and also used your money to take your son to whoring and prostitutes.

It's them who have lost their conscience, what's it to you? "

Someone echoed: "I've never seen such a vicious family member. If it were me, I would have dragged them to death. I want to make money as a bull and make them feel comfortable and happy! Bah! Dreaming!"

The seventh uncle frowned and interrupted the awkward conversation. He said to Shi Yan in a warm voice, "The account book clearly records your contribution to the clan and your family over the years. You are right, wrong. An ungrateful family!

But it's hard for a clean official to cut off housework..."

Shi Yan said in his heart, at this time, this old man still wants to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and he wants me to continue to be a cow, a horse, and a dream after saying a few good words!

So Shi Yan slammed his head down again, and when he raised his head, he swayed and fainted directly to the ground.

Others were startled, and those who were close to Shi Yan on weekdays hurried forward to check.

Simply Shi Yan quickly woke up, pushed the person who was supporting him away, knelt straight on the ground, and said in a weak voice that everyone could hear: "My mother wants me to die, but Shi Yan is a bad guy. Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death do not want to follow my mother's wishes for this ridiculous reason.

When my father was alive, he used to say that he wanted me to live well, so why should I listen to my mother and not my father?

Today's inkstone words are put here. If anyone comes to persuade me again, and talk about the nonsense of forbearance for a while, and take a step back, then I will be here, use this life, ask God to bless me, let what happened to me, All are fulfilled in you one by one.

When

When I come again to persuade you, family shame must not be publicized, it is your life is not good, you just admit it! Let's see if you can calm down and say forgiveness generously! "

Just as he was about to persuade Shi Yan, the seventh uncle, who had not yet said his words, said, "..."

His face was extremely ugly, as if he had been offended and annoyed, but he couldn't express it, and he was extremely aggrieved.

However, some people in the crowd felt that what Shi Yan said was too reasonable. Some elders in the clan, relying on their seniority, dictated the affairs of the younger generation's family.

It was obviously that my parents were unfair, and I was greatly wronged. As a result, the elders in the clan stood up and said lightly: "filial piety is the first word, we are all family, not enemies of life and death, it is not easy for your parents to understand each other. Let's go! It's a blessing to suffer!"

At that time, I really wanted to spit a mouthful of phlegm on the face of the person who said this.

Shi Yan continued: "In the Book of Rites of Dai Dai, it was recorded that there are seven rules for women, one is that my mother is not filial to her in-laws, the other is jealous and fierce, the third is talkative, and she loves to tell lies, and the fourth is often doing things for herself in the village. The stealing of the dog that is not on the table is the end of me privately asking someone to make amends and apologize.

Of the seven outlaws, four of them have been violated.

The third and fourth virtues of the fifth sister are probably all learned from the belly of the dog, and the women are brought up by their mothers at home. As for why they have become so unreliable today, probably only my mother knows.

Speaking of the sixth brother, it would be disrespectful to use my hard-earned money as a brother to go to the brothel Chu Pavilion to be unrestrained and happy.

It is unrighteous to teach my nephew to tell right from wrong, and to take my five-year-old nephew to the place of fireworks to hang around.

When my father was alive, I often had arguments with my father. Once my father died, it was unfilial to leave my old father still in the hall for a few taels of silver.

The big brother trusts you, works hard every month, and gives the money to the public for you to use, but you use it to spend the day and drink, which is disloyalty.

Inhumanity and injustice, infidelity and filial piety are all in it, am I half wrong? "

Li Shimo and Mrs. Li are hiding under the eaves at the moment, trying to minimize their sense of existence, for fear of being caught out and drowned by the scum of the villagers.

It can be seen that the two still knew that what they did was shameful, but they did not change their stubbornness, and held the previous Shi Yan tightly.

Those in the crowd who were not used to Li Shimo for a long time immediately echoed: "Iron egg, you are right! It was so hot a few days ago, your father and your elder brother were busy in the field, and they couldn't even eat a bite at noon.

Your Tiezhu also made an appointment for a horse-drawn carriage to the county seat.

Drink in the city, come back drunk at night, and still have the strength to quarrel with your father! If you want me to see, your sixth brother is not a thing in your family! "

Shi Yan nodded and said to the seventh uncle, "Shi Yan is ashamed to be in the company of such people! Today, I asked myself to leave the clan, and I don't want to have any connection with these people. Shi Yan will bear all the consequences by himself."

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

These days, the clan’s protection of the clan’s people is sometimes comparable to the national law in the village. Because many villagers may have been to the farthest place in their lives is the county seat, so the role of the clan to the clan has been strengthened. point.

In many rural areas, the etiquette of the clan is first followed by the law of the state. There's a lot of room for maneuvering inside.

Sometimes neighbors and villagers have conflicts and accidentally kill people. If the patriarch wants to suppress the matter and deal with it within the clan, and does not want to make trouble outside, the families of both parties will accept this condition.

The government will not come to the door for no reason to ask for an inspection, give justice to the deceased, and pay attention to whether a citizen is not brought to justice.

Therefore, Shi Yan's words had a great impact on everyone.

The seventh uncle at the top had a gloomy and terrifying face, and it took a long time before he said to Shi Yan with a sullen face: "This matter is very important, it is not something that can be easily decided, and you are not at fault, so you really don't need to ask for your own family.

For now, let's take care of your father's funeral first, and let's talk about it later! "

Shi Yan bowed his hands to express his gratitude to the Seventh Uncle.

Shi Yan said in his heart, "I'm waiting for your words. I really think I'm a naive person who can only read, and I'm stunned?" Do you punish yourself for the mistakes of others?

Isn't asking myself to be a family member to say that I am at fault and feel ashamed? Not to give others the opportunity to criticize me?

Shi Yan looked at this family coldly, and said in his heart, let's not have any interaction, anyway, after the funeral, I don't want to have interaction with this group of people in my life.

There is still work to be done on the face.

Shi Yan's body collapsed as soon as the wind blew, stood in the middle of the crowd, and said bluntly: "Brother, you usually listen to your mother and sister-in-law the most. Go to the old Zhangtou's house at the head of the village and buy a ready-made coffin for Dad.

It doesn't have to be too good, there's no need to slap a swollen face to make a fat man, just an elm coffin of three taels of silver. "

"Sister-in-law, you are acquainted with the daughter of the butcher's family who sells meat in the village next door. You go to their house now, and let them try their best to give our family a pig. Let's make a running water table."

"Aunt Wang, there is not enough rice, noodles and rapeseed at home, you

He is an expert in this field, with five taels of silver, people from one village, thirty tables and seats, can you think of a way to do it?

There are also aunties who help cut vegetables and cook in this big kitchen and small kitchen, so please worry about it!

One more point, as a thank you gift to the aunts who helped you afterwards, first order a bowl of meat stir-fry for each person, please be careful. "

"Second sister, third sister, let's put aside the grievances and grievances in the past, since you heard the news today, it proves that you and Dad still have some affection.

Second sister, go to the paper shop in the village and buy some wreaths, paper money and ingots for a tael of silver. It's too late to make them now. We need them in a hurry. The finished product will definitely be expensive.

Third sister, your husband’s family is in the town. If you want to come here, you can still have something to do with the shroud shop in the town. You go and choose a suitable shroud for our father. This is the last piece of clothing that my father will wear in his life. This matter You can't save money on it, and if you want hang silk, come with two taels of silver. "

"Fifth sister, you are an unmarried girl, so I won't bother you with the work of scrubbing your father's body, the fourth brother will come in person.

You and Sixth Aunt go to the village to borrow tables, chairs, benches, and thirty tables and seats. Half of the yard should be left open for everyone to walk on, and everything that cannot fit should be placed outside the yard. "

"As for the sixth brother, although they are all in the same village, the etiquette cannot be abandoned. You personally bring someone to the neighbor's house to report the funeral. In this case, my family will not choose a date, but will be buried three days later, and the matter will be related to the big guy. To make it clear, please come to the door to send Dad the last ride."

"Seven aunts, I still have to trouble you with this box of Shi Yan. Your craftsmanship has always been recognized as good in the village. Please help me make a few filial attire. You don't have to choose the style of workmanship, just one word, be fast!"

"My uncles and brothers, my father is definitely going to be buried in our Li family's ancestral tomb, but the tomb is a hard work, please."

Then, under the puzzled eyes of everyone, Shi Yan walked up to Mrs. Li who was shrunk in the corner, squatted down, pulled Mrs. Li's hand away forcefully, and snatched a purse from Mrs. Li's hand.

He opened the purse in front of everyone, and there were two hundred taels of silver inside.

Shi Yan handed the silver note to a young man who was close to him: "Da Zhuang, you are going fast. Before it gets dark, go to the county town and exchange the silver note for broken silver."

Da Zhuang patted his chest and promised: "I'll drive my third uncle's bullock cart! I promise to go and come back quickly, don't worry, iron!"

Shi Yan turned around and bowed to everyone in the yard: "I asked you to worry about our Li family, Shi Yan is here to thank you in advance.

pass you all! "

Then he said to the few people who had asked before and needed to spend money: "Right now, Da Zhuang is going to exchange money, and it will take half a day to come back, but the family affairs really can't wait any longer, everyone first find a way to advance or credit, and write a note. , when I look back, I will definitely give you a lot of money!"

Shi Yan's brothers and sisters didn't say anything and turned around to go to work in silence.

The others patted the experiment's shoulders and said, "I know what character you are, iron egg, so we won't."

When the people who did the errands left, the ones who stayed took the initiative to help build the stove in the yard.

To make a running water mat, the small kitchen commonly used at home is definitely not enough. It is necessary to temporarily build a large stove outside to act as a large kitchen.

The dead yard just now came alive in an instant, everyone had work to do in their hands, and the excitement was in full swing. Suddenly, there was a lively atmosphere of happy events in the countryside.

"Third grandfather, my father grew up under your watch. The construction of this mourning hall will take care of you. Feel free to say what materials are needed, and Shi Yan will find a way to purchase them."

Then he said to an uncle in the family: "Shi Yan is young, and his thinking is inevitably not thoughtful enough. If you see any shortcomings, you can directly bring it up.

I want to give my father a wake-up call before the death, and I will leave you with the general affairs of the past few days. "

After thinking for a while, he added: "As for my mother's side, please let others watch, don't let her come out these three days."

Seeing that Shi Yan had arranged everything in a short period of time, his uncle nodded with satisfaction: "Leave it to me, if you want to open up, you will inevitably encounter unsatisfactory things in life. In my heart, sooner or later, I will get bored of myself."

Shi Yan thanked his uncle for his consolation, went back to his room, wrote a letter, and gave it to a clever young man in the village: "Go to the county school to find a master named Zhou Lide and give this letter to him, and ask him to help him in the county seat. An experienced monk, come to read scriptures for my father for a few days."
