This is a cold winter day. The snow fell quietly all night. A small mountain village located in the west of North China woke up from dawn. Aunt Rong closed her eyes permanently on the snowy night when dawn came.
According to local customs, those who died the night before must be buried the next morning, and then park the coffin in the family's ancestral hall, and the funeral will be held on the third, fifth or seven days later.
Aunt Rong and Old Man Liu live in a narrow and long stone alley. Maybe it’s because the alley is narrow. The snow seems very thick and it’s almost at the knee.
Aunt Rong's house was in a mess. There were women who helped pull and sew filial clothes, and there were men in charge of tribe affairs. They gathered tribe members to arrange details and other matters. After everything was ready to stop, they began to be buried. With the jingling of the wedges of nailing the coffin and the crying of the children, the strong laborers in the family carried the coffin, stepped on the knee-deep snow, and walked forward in the narrow alley with difficulty, and the coffin also moved outward in a crooked and twisted manner.
The ancestral hall is located on the street in the center of the village. The street is relatively wide because there are many pedestrians and cars coming and going, and the snow in the middle of the street is not too thick, and some places reveal the ruts after the car is rolled.
Aunt Rong had six children during his lifetime. She knelt on a long line in white clothes, which was very majestic.
Liu Da "Xiao" is the eldest son of the family. He stood in front, with a banner in his left hand and a basin in his right hand. Behind him are his younger brothers and sisters, as well as his brothers' wives.
Liu Da "Xiao" is not the biological son of Old Man Liu. When he was four years old, an unprecedented famine occurred in their hometown, and there was no harvest in the field. He followed his mother to beg for food and settled in this village to escape. Later, his mother married Old Man Liu, and Old Man Liu became his father. Old Man Liu treated him as his own son. Although he gave birth to several sons later, he has always treated him well. Those who don’t know the truth will definitely not tell that he is not his own son.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they waited for the coffin to be carried from the alley to the street with difficulty. At this time, Liu Da "Xiao" lowered his head and looked around secretly, and suddenly burst into tears: "Mom! Mom! My mother who fled from south to north to beg for food, my mother who suffered all her life..."
There are no activities in the Xiaoshan Village. When encountering weddings and weddings, no matter how busy we are, we will never forget to run out to watch the fun. Although it is a cold winter, many people are sparsely surrounded on both sides of the street.
When everyone saw Liu Da "Xiao" crying, his nose couldn't help but feel sore. Aunt Rong's life is indeed not easy. The older person nodded and praised the eldest son for crying sadly.
Liu Da "Xiao" was crying, and he didn't forget to scan the people around him from the corner of his eyes. Seeing so many people watching him, he became more and more excited, and then he raised his voice and cried, "Mom! My sad mother, you slapped your butt and left me, leaving me alone, how can you live in the future? My beggar mother, how can you bear your miserable son..." I cried so hard that every sentence was heart-wrenching.
It was not enough to cry like this. Liu Da "Xiao" simply lay on the wet snow. He was kneeling, but he immediately put on a banner and held the basin, sticking his butt, and laying there, making people feel even more miserable when they see it.
In the local area, during the burial process, as long as the filial sons cry and send the coffin to the ancestral hall, even if it is finished, they will go home immediately, because there are still many things to be done in the future. Generally, they will not stay for a long time. The person in charge will command the filial sons to go back.
But Liu Da "Xiao" couldn't cry. The person holding him on both sides pulled his arm hard at first, but he deliberately fell to the ground. It was very difficult to pull him, and then he simply lay on the ground, and he couldn't pull it up.
The younger brothers and sisters behind him also cried bitterly at first, but later they realized that he was a little too much. They expected that he was deliberately doing something, but the filial piety clothes were in his body and could not be experiencing it, so they could only suppress the anger in his heart.
The manager saw that he was like this and couldn't move on. He first advised him in a kind voice: "Don't cry, it's almost OK."
When Liu Da "Xiao" heard it, he felt like he was injected with chicken blood. After those words, he cried so hard that his nose was snotted for a long time, and his voice was hoarse.
The manager looked at him and advised him not to listen, so he directly pointed at the people around him and gave an order: "Pull him up, take him away, hurry up, don't waste time. "
The two young men on both sides of him quickly raised his arms and pulled them up. Now it was great. Not only did they not raise them, Liu Da "xiao" lies on the ground. His big man of 1.78 meters, Zhan Dangdang lies on the ground, crying and shouting.
was furious. How many things have happened in the family, and he has never seen this scene before. Who would cry for? Who would you not know that his parents and his parents were big enemies during their lifetime, and they have never reached the threshold of their mother for many years. When his mother died, he cried so hard?
"What kind of fooling around?" Pull him away. "The manager shouted loudly.
The two men were holding his arms hard. His whole body was lying on the ground, without any intention of getting up and walking forward. It was almost twelve o'clock. The two people next to him were walking on the ground like pulling a disabled person with legs.
The manager was furious and his voice changed immediately. He kicked Liu Da's "xiao" leg with his feet, "Stop howling, get up, go! "
After the manager's shouting and kicking, Liu Da "Xiao" seemed to be tired of crying, and the play was finished, and he slowly stood up.
At this time, those who were watching the fun on both sides of the street also understood what was going on. They whispered with contempt and disdain: Tsk, it's really possible to act. At first, I really felt sad. I did it for people to show it for a long time. I live in the street. Who doesn't know who?
It turns out that since Liu Da "Xiao" got married and got married and separated, he felt that his parents' brothers were partial to him and were not good to him. There were always some people who were looking for trouble at home.
His father, Old Man Liu, is a person who can't beat a fool with three sticks. He has no ability. He will dig food from the soil all his life and exchange for some pocket money. What can he give to his brothers?
But Liu Da "filial piety" doesn't think so. He thinks his father is not good, and then his mother has younger brothers and sisters, and he is not good to him. No matter how he thinks he feels that he is an outsider, he has never been to his parents' home for many years.
Just because of this, Old Man Liu is very sad. He once said to the villagers with tears in his eyes: "I raised him at the age of four, and then he took the money from the cracks of his teeth to build a house and marry a wife, but in the end he ended up like this. "
Moreover, this time, he had not served him for a day from his illness to his death. He did not leave a footprint in front of and behind the bed. He was so "filial"!
His cry became a laughing stock in the village and a topic of conversation for people after dinner. Someone joked: Who is the most filial in the village? It is Liu Da's "filial piety".
After the funeral of his mother was handled, Liu Da's "filial piety" completely cut off contact with his father and younger brothers and sisters.
In the village, among his peers, if they don't go on stage, it means a breakdown of their relationship; between them and their elders, kowtowing and greetings every year during the New Year, it was decided to Whether the relationship between father and son exists or not, and not kowtowing to parents, it proves that he does not recognize the relationship between father and son. He has not kowtowed to his father for two years. Brothers saw that he was so heartless, and ignored him.
Until the death of Old Man Liu three years later, he did not show up.
By the way, Liu Da "filial piety" is not called Liu Da "filial piety". He has his own name. It was the name given to him by the villagers after this incident - Liu Da "filial piety".
