One afternoon in the middle of summer 2022, it shouldn't have been our turn to be on duty to take care of my mother, maybe it was providence. I went to my mother's place after work, and my daughter-in-law had already made dinner, so I began to feed my mother, and by chance my brother-in-law also came, he was in a "high position", and my sister rarely talked to him about my family's affairs, so he rarely came to my mother's place. She ate very uncomfortably and swallowed very slowly, and her daughter-in-law "Jane" also said: Our mother has not been in good health in the past two days, let's do our best!Soon after eating a small bowl of porridge, my mother suddenly breathed rapidly, and there seemed to be phlegm in my throat, and my daughter-in-law asked me to hurry up and buy a "phlegm-suction" device.
Mother left the world in such a hurry.
We have thought about my mother's funeral many times, so we began to notify the eldest brother, second brother, and sister in an orderly manner, and other sisters to discuss the specific steps to do things.
In fact, our husband and wife have a plan for this matter.
My father's affairs ten years ago were done at the eldest brother's house, and he was a single family, so it was reasonable to be the eldest brother. It's just that in the process of doing things, the sister-in-law has been "tongued" several times, turning over the old historical accounts, and everyone always apologizes to her, which makes the brother and sister very angry, and there was a face-to-face conflict at that time, so that everyone's mood is bad because of the father's funeral. Afterwards, we were young, but we were still very grateful to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and we also gave the eldest brother a certain amount of compensation financially, but everyone knew that it was impossible for the mother's funeral to be done at the eldest brother's house.
After all, my sister is a "girl", so naturally she is not in the circle of discussion, and in fact, she can only choose between me and my second brother's house. Our husband and wife have never been ambiguous in this kind of thing, but I am the old man, and I can only be dedicated, responsible, and do my best in passivity!
Once on the way to see the "uncle" during the Spring Festival, the second brother had already confided in his heart: he is a commercial house, or do it better in our house. I didn't say yes at the time, I just said that I would discuss it with my daughter-in-law when I came back. Actually, I know that we have to take care of my mother's funeral.
The second brother soon returned from Zhengzhou, and the sisters decided to move their mother to my home in the North Ring Road, which was a small building facing the street, with a large area on the first floor, and the epidemic was rampant at that time.
My father passed away in the hospital, and because my sister-in-law refused to let my father enter the house on the grounds that she was "timid and scared", my father waited for the spiritual shed at the gate to be built before moving back. I didn't know the bottom of it at the time, let alone such a rule, and the sisters talked a lot about it afterwards, so our husband and wife directly set up the mourning hall in the hall on the first floor this time, and due to the impact of the epidemic, I didn't consider building a mourning hall outside, so that my mother could send the party field into the house and out of the house.
Thanks to the concerted efforts of the sisters and the help of friends and colleagues, the mother's funeral ceremony was solemn and smooth. Our husband and wife are also relieved.
Afterwards, the brother-in-law found a very high-end hotel, and the sisters served wine to Comrade Zhen separately, expressing their heartfelt gratitude.
I am proud to have such a daughter-in-law!
