There is no crying in the funeral program. If the deceased is a parent, it is normal for the child to cry and grieve. The rest of the relatives and friends, is to take care of "face", tears streaming down their faces. It's irrelevant. It's only a few times. The book says, "If you have tears, you will cry; if you have no tears, you will cry; if you have no tears, you will count." Sincerity is also true. Whether it's a man or a woman, it's no fun just calling the number. When urban and rural women cry, they should "count their names" or "count their names" or sigh for the dead, or be dissatisfied with their daughter-in-law, or have pain that is difficult to express through this matter, and so on. Someone lost an old woman, and her daughter "complained" that the old man usually didn't eat well, didn't dress well, and suffered some abuse. When the daughter-in-law heard about it, she cried and retorted, which led to a quarrel and a fight, which was ridiculous.

When I was teaching in a weathering shop in the 1950s, the local teacher often talked about a young woman in the village. Her husband died of illness shortly after her death, and the young woman made a scene about it. The young lady has a rough knowledge of writing. She listens to the singing of the Caotai team and the writing on the drum. When she counted, she rhymed with them, and her words were beautiful and concise, which was widely circulated by her neighbors, and undertaker became more and more popular. In the name of persuading young women, I really want to hear what they say. The teacher can't remember all the words, but the words are as follows.

When a woman cries, the tone is short and long, and there are people with natural rhythm. For the example of a woman crying for her husband, add "My God ……" after several sentences, which means that a woman regards her husband as "heaven". Her husband, who is in his twenties, usually dresses up in robes and mandarin jackets, which makes most farmers look down on him and wants to dress up and confuse people. The young woman cried, "Blue cloth robe and green mandarin jacket look more and more like a gentleman!" " ..... Oh, my God ... ""The mill in the East Room, the mill in the Westinghouse, who will take the broom with the donkey! ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Alas, alas ..... "Next to a head nurse," Sister-in-law, don't cry, you dropped your hair clasp. " "How much is it worth to drop the hair clasp? It's not as good as your eldest brother is alive ... ""Sister-in-law, don't cry, aren't you ashamed in front of these nephews? " "East Street (outside the mouth), West Street (outside the mouth), where is the' Alar' noise in autumn? ...... "Alar" is a songbird, and all teachers don't know its scientific name, so the dialect is like this. If this bird stops singing in autumn, it is not clear whether it is related to the "silent tongue" contained in the Moon Order. After the funeral, the villagers still gathered in front of the grave to listen to them. After the young woman mourned, she burned paper money and cried, "Don't look at the two big slips in front of the grave and behind it ..." Everyone burst into laughter. At this point in the funeral, there is only fun left.

I remember that after Uncle Yu died, Uncle Yu's wife and two sons' wives kept vigil. My wife is a teacher, and she is not good at counting. My second uncle's family is a student of his parents' daughter-in-law. He works in a bureau and is not good at it. Only the wife of his uncle's second son cried and cried. At the funeral, on the way to the hearse, the second daughter-in-law said a lot, and the remaining wives and the second uncle's mother-in-law looked at each other and almost laughed. It's really embarrassing.
