Chapter 106: The second daughter who was born (2)
Just when Sun Xiao got the admission notice, he was about to change his household registration, apply for an ID card, and then leave.Her biological grandfather passed away.He died at the age of 60.
Although they have been adopted, as the main family, they cannot just leave at this time.I must attend the funeral before leaving.
The clan concept in Xinzhuang is very strong.As a big family, their Sun family was divided into several branches.When it comes to holding a funeral, everyone has a clear division of labor.This team is responsible for serving tea during the funeral, that team is responsible for all the tables, chairs and benches, some are responsible for welcoming guests, and some are responsible for crying...
This division of labor is determined by drawing lots.They have to be re-captured every few years, otherwise the one responsible for crying will get into trouble.
They don't want to bury them right after burning them. They have to stay at home for a few days.In the past few days, a mourning tent has been set up in the yard, mourning and music have been played, and paper has been burned every morning and evening. As soon as the paper money is burned, cries immediately start to sound.The younger members of the family knelt down and cried bitterly, wearing sackcloth and mourning according to the hour.
After crying, go to rest.Then every time a relative or friend came to express condolences, they would come out and cry with her.The time when relatives and friends come is very scattered.
The key is not to just cry, but to cry and talk at the same time.Something like "My poor ***, why did you leave so early?"
Only when someone "can't stand it anymore" and "worries that the person crying is overly sad" comes to persuade people to mourn, can they get up. If no one persuades them, they will have to keep crying.
Sun Xiao was speechless when she heard that her cheap nephew Sun Zhenbing, a little boy less than 11 years old, had to imitate the mourning of those sisters-in-law.
The sadness may be real, and the tears may be sincere, but why is he crying and rapping here?
Fortunately, Sun Jingting's team is not prosperous and does not have any serious errands. He just goes to help when needed.
Her father went to help boil water and make tea, which was not an easy job on a hot day.Sun Xiao's task is to act as a persuader.After watching everyone cry for a while, I went over to persuade people to express their condolences and pull them up.
She always advised in a timely manner and received lots of thanks from the sisters-in-law.
Grandma Xu is senior, so she doesn’t have to do anything, but there are too many relatives and friends for the family to sit down, so some people may go to her place to rest for a while, and she will help entertain them.
On the day of the burial, it was even more lively and grand.A drum band was also invited to perform.When the suona sounded, the whole village heard it.
Not only those who are younger than him in the family must follow him to the funeral in a grand manner, crying as they go, but they must also cry loudly, the louder the better.
People from the whole village who had nothing to do came to watch and judge whether the family was polite and polite, whether there was anything they did that was not in line with the rules, and comment on who was crying sincerely, who was hypocritical, and who was crying seriously and devotedly. Who is perfunctory?
A funeral can keep the whole village busy for several days.
As a peer, Sun Jingting doesn't have to cry behind.Sun Xiao was still young, and her father wouldn't let her follow him to the cemetery, so she just had to see him off in the village.As a good and obedient child, of course she has to listen to her father.
By the time the funeral is over, there will be less than a month left before school starts.
Before leaving, Sun Jingting took all the money he had earned from business over the past few years with him.From a poor family to a rich man, who knows where he will need money when he gets to the capital?
A group of three people left their hometown and began an unknown life.
Sun Xiao was surprised to find that both her father and Grandma Xu were very calm.
"Aren't you two worried?"
"What are you worried about? We haven't experienced anything before?"
Yes, these two have really gone through ups and downs.
When they arrived in the capital, they first found a guest house to stay near the school.In the next few days, I walked around the neighborhood again, and first rented a three-bedroom apartment and moved into it.
At this time, the area of three bedrooms is relatively small, about 80 square meters.The owners are a retired old couple. This house is a public rental house in their unit. They haven't bought it yet. They only need to pay a dozen yuan in rent every month.Even the heating bills are paid by the employer.
They went to live with their son and rented out the place.
At this time, the real estate industry had not yet emerged.Many people still live in public rental housing and cannot buy or sell.There are also very few new properties.
Buying a house is a matter of luck.
Sun Xiao took her father's ID card and opened a stock account to make quick money first.This will prevent you from finding out that you don’t have enough money when you find a suitable house.
She was running outside, but she didn't want the old man and the old lady to be too bored staying at home. In order for them to go out and play without worries, and to facilitate communication, she bought three mobile phones, one for each of the three people, which almost made the two old people have a heart attack.
Although they have been more open-minded in recent years and have stopped spending money, they should not be so lavish.Mobile phones are not yet popular, so they are expensive.
"Your dad and I, we only need one mobile phone. Even if we want to go out for a walk, we will go out together and never go shopping separately. There is no need for two mobile phones at all." Grandma Xu said.
His father was angry for a while and then figured it out, and advised: "Forget it, I bought everything. It's good for each of us to have one. It's convenient to use, and the child has good intentions, so don't talk about her."
Grandma Xu: "... just spoil her."
Sun Xiao said stubbornly: "I'm looking for a shop nearby. You two can go out and play. Don't be bored at home. The Royal Garden is very close to here. You can get there in two stops by car. If you have nothing to do, just go in and take a walk."
The old lady just wanted to save money for her, and it wasn't that she didn't like mobile phones.The heartache is over, and I feel refreshed when I hold my phone.
"You go about your business. Let's figure out how to use the phone first. We'll walk around the community in the past two days to get used to it. After a few days, we can go somewhere farther away."
"Yeah. You decide for yourself."
She is busy every day, busy trading stocks and looking for shops.She can support two old people, but she is afraid that they will be too bored, so she first opens a small shop to enrich herself.
The store was chosen outside the west gate of Beijing University.Now that we already have the famous Ximen Grilled Wings, let’s add Ximen Fried Chicken.
When Sun Xiao started school, the store was already open.It was a regular store with complete documents. Sun Jingting and Grandma Xu also had physical examinations and applied for health certificates.
There is a big morning market nearby, which starts at five o'clock every morning. The items sold are very cheap, and you don't have to go far to buy raw materials.
Dad and Grandma Xu were more capable than she imagined, and they quickly adapted to their new life.
On September 9th, freshmen report.
Then, as a freshman in liberal arts, he was assigned to the northwest campus.
Sun Xiao: "..."
No way.I hope that no tragedy will happen in the parallel world. I hope that everyone can spend their freshman year here safely and then return to the school.
She still wrote letters and emails anonymously to the school management, and posted on the school forum to elaborate on the various problems and risks that may be encountered by allowing freshmen to live and study in remote campuses.I hope it can attract everyone's attention.She also reminded everyone to try not to be left alone.
At this time, she hadn't bought a computer yet, so she wrote emails and posted posts in Internet cafes.
Fortunately, Peking University has always been a university that listens to opinions.School buses were quickly arranged between the two campuses to facilitate students' travel between the two campuses.
No tragedy occurred.
But the leaders were still aware of the problem, and in the end, their class became the last liberal arts students to pass their freshman year at the Northwest Campus.
