Live broadcast in the funeral clothing store

Lunar calendar, July 1st!

Ye Lei received a call at noon about his childhood friend’s wedding, so he planned to go home in the evening.

He wanted to spend more time with his father. He had been away from home for 20 years, and that home was both familiar and strange to him. Memories flooded his mind.

TV weather forecast: There will be thunderstorms from 17:24 to 24:21 today, with temperatures ranging from to degrees Celsius, suitable for wearing a thin jacket.

"Ye Lei, when are we leaving? I have already assigned all the work!" Zhang Xiaoyu was even more anxious than Ye Lei and drove a shabby second-hand car.

"Let's go now!" Ye Lei pulled down the shutter of the funeral shop, feeling somewhat uneasy.

The journey home has changed a lot in the past 20 years. From a narrow dirt road to a wide asphalt road.

It was a hundred miles, and it only took more than half an hour to get there.

Yejia Village has also changed a lot. There is now a fitness plaza, a large supermarket, and a large electronic screen...

"This used to be a big pit, and I often caught fish here when I was a kid."

"This used to be the jujube tree planted by my third grandfather!"

"See? That's the big elm tree where I often took shelter under when I was a kid! I didn't expect it's still there!"

. . . . . .

Ye Lei was in mixed feelings as he took a quick look at these old objects and scenes.

The past is gone, what passes by is not only time, but more importantly, feelings.

The houses around me were rebuilt in a modern style that was in keeping with the times, but my own house remained the same, unchanged.

The car was parked in the aisle between the houses. The shabby second-hand car fit in perfectly with the mottled houses.

"Dad!" Ye Lei shouted "Dad" loudly in the yard before he even walked into the inner room.

It was still arranged the same as in childhood; even the flower pots in the yard had not been moved at all. The emotions in his heart made Ye Lei burst into tears.

"Are you okay? Ye Lei!" Zhang Xiaoyu didn't know how to comfort him, and couldn't understand his thoughts.

"Big Lei Zi?" A middle-aged woman said with a smile.

"Sixth Aunt!" Ye Lei recognized Sixth Aunt at the first sight.

Over the past twenty years, Aunt Six's appearance has not changed much, except for a few more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, forehead, and cheeks.

"It's really Da Lei Zi! Oh, he's grown so tall!" Aunt Six looked Ye Lei up and down.

"Aunt Six, how are you?" Ye Lei also greeted.

"You're in great shape! You work out every day and have a good physique!" Aunt Six smiled simply.

"Sixth Aunt, where is my dad?" Ye Lei checked several rooms but there was no sign of his father.

"Your dad! He went to the village to attend a funeral!" Aunt Six replied.

Ye Lei asked: "Whose funeral is it?"

"Oh~! It's Wenxiong from Zhang Laoqi's family! He's so young..." Aunt Liu looked regretful.

"Wenxiong? When did it happen?" Ye Lei came back to his senses and asked.

"It's been four or five days! She was supposed to go home to prepare for the wedding, but who would have thought that she had a car accident on the way back. If Wenxiong hadn't protected his wife tightly, she would not have survived." Aunt Six explained the whole story.

"Four or five days?" Ye Lei received Wen Xiong's call at noon and had no time to panic, "Then why hasn't the funeral been held yet?"

"Don't send it off yet (don't do anything yet)! They said to stop funerals and start weddings! It's still in the ice coffin. Your father went to discuss funerals and weddings." Aunt Six had a serious expression.

"A happy event? Doesn't the girl's family mind it?" Ye Lei asked.

"How can you not care? The girl's family members disagree a lot, but the girl is determined to marry Yuanxiong. It's rare to find such an infatuated girl!" Aunt Liu admired the girl's character and looked at the clock on her mobile phone: "Okay, I have to go cook for your Uncle Liu!"

"Okay, Sixth Aunt, say hello to Sixth Uncle!" Ye Lei greeted Sixth Aunt as she left in a hurry.

At noon, I heard Wenxiong's tone was different, with a chill, but I didn't think much about it. Now I know that Wenxiong has met with an accident, and I can't help but feel sad.

Without stopping, we went to Zhang Laoqi's house.

When a young man encounters a great disaster, the lamp remains on even after his death, and a tall umbrella blocks the yin and yang.

According to the custom in the village, if someone dies young, the lights in the house should not be turned off from the moment of death to the funeral. Because the elderly are too sad to see the young die, the deceased will be too attached to the reincarnation, affecting the six realms of reincarnation and making it easy to be reborn in the three evil realms. Therefore, a high umbrella is held to block the emotional communication between the deceased and his relatives to prevent them from being too attached.

The door light is kept on for a long time in the hot summer and the wire is easy to burn out, so there is a lighthouse keeper!

Uncle Liu has always been in charge of weddings and funerals in the village, so the person keeping the lantern is naturally Uncle Liu.

"Uncle Liu!" Ye Lei hugged Uncle Liu.

"Okay, Ye Lei! Hold me!" Uncle Liu patted Ye Lei and was also surprised in his heart: "Why are you here?"

Ye Lei let go of Uncle Liu and said, "It's... Wenxiong... who called me!"

Liu said he was not surprised. He was used to these strange things. "What did he say?"

"Let me attend his wedding!" Ye Lei replied.

"Yes! It is indeed a wedding!" Uncle Liu seemed to be thinking about something.

The ice coffin was placed in the innermost room, the door was closed, and a seal-like note was affixed to it.

The note contained Wenxiong's date of birth and death, as well as his name in the family tree.

"Ye Lei, why are you here?" Father was surprised to see Ye Lei and was very worried.

The coffin-like nature and the attribute of being unlucky in human nature were already deeply rooted in the village. Fearing that it would lead to criticism, he called Ye Lei aside and said, “Why did you come back without calling me! The villagers…”

Before my father could finish his words, he said, "What era is it now? No one else cares anymore! You are the only one who cares!"

Ye Lei's rebuttal left his father speechless. He didn't say much and agreed.

"Have you eaten?" Although the father didn't say anything, he still cared about Ye Lei in his heart.

"Not yet!" Ye Lei only then felt hungry.

Father looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and asked, "Who is this?"

Zhang Xiaoyu took the opportunity to hold Ye Lei's hand and said, "Uncle, I am Ye Lei's girlfriend!"

"Ye Lei has a girlfriend! That's great! Your father was complaining about you a few days ago for not even having a wife at your age. Now, the Ye family is going to have a wedding." Uncle Liu cheered on the side.

Perhaps because they were too sad, there was no crying in Zhang Laoqi's (Uncle Seventh) house at this time. Looking at Wenxiong's relatives in other rooms, there was even a slight smile on their faces.

Zhang Laoqi also came over and said, "Ye Lei is here! I haven't seen you for so many years. You have grown up! Your brother Wenxiong...", and he couldn't help sobbing.

That’s right. He’s already over 30 years old. I don’t know if he can be successful or not, but he’s quite old anyway, right?

Uncle Qi’s moved expression also aroused Ye Lei’s sadness. The two hugged each other and cried sadly.

"Okay, okay! Funerals are over and happy events are about to begin. We can't afford to see any more sadness at this critical juncture!" Uncle Liu advised the two of them.

Funerals in the village usually last about three days, and according to this time, the funeral has obviously passed.

All that is left are happy events, and there can be no more sad thoughts.

The two listened to the advice, wiped away their tears, and smiled at Wenxiong's joy.

Ye Lei looked at Wen Xiong in the ice coffin through the small window of the innermost door!

The left eye is slightly sunken, probably because it has been retouched by a beautician. Its original appearance must have been horrible.

Just a glance from Ye Lei!

Maybe it was the deep love between the brothers, or maybe it was just a coincidence.

A tear of blood flowed down the corner of Wenxiong's sunken eye!

At this moment, Ye Lei felt really bad!
