Your grandmother Yinjiao does one thing in her life: help others cry. In recent years, the crying has faded. 10 years ago, anyone who had a funeral had to ask someone to help him cry. Funerals always want to do a good job of funeral. This funeral should be done so that everyone in the former village and the back house can say it is decent. One is to show off, and the other is to make people feel bitter and sad. On the day of the funeral, many people came to see it from morning till night. Grandma likes watching and crying with others. Her heart will feel better when tears flow down. If the funeral is not done well, someone will say, "Everyone in his family can't be sad, a group of heartless people." In fact, it is not necessarily not sad, but no one in that family will cry. If you want to make people feel sad, you have to cry and scold. Some people don't scold, but cry. There are also some people who are unreasonable. They are not very talkative. When they cry, they cry blindly and cry out what they shouldn't cry. A few years ago, the Zhou Jia girl in Xiwangzhuang died. This is a scandal, which is not easy to make public. Sister-in-law is a half-idiot, but in front of so many people, she cried and snorted: "My own sister, why don't people die after abortion?" Why did you die after a miscarriage? " My miserable sister ... brother-in-law slapped me a mile away: "Go away! "Some people cry things that are not ugly, but the way they cry is ugly, very strange and ugly, and the voice is wrong, which makes people laugh, which is broken. Why is mourning so important? Do you know one more thing? Your child's family doesn't know. Grandma told you: it was crying to death, but it was for the living. When a man dies, you can't just let him die in vain. You will cry and criticize the merits of a dead life. When many good people die, there is no one to criticize. Others can't remember the merits and demerits of his life. What a pity that the living died quietly without any benefit! If someone can criticize while crying and put out the good things of his life one by one, this good man will be respected and his family will be respected. When you meet a bad person or a dead villain, you must be able to cry and scold. No one will do bad things all his life, there will always be some good things. When all his good words are said, people's hearts will be softened. When they think that everyone is dead, they will no longer care about it, and they will be a little sad that he is not such a bad person, and his family will look up from now on. In this way, people often ask some people who can cry to help them cry. Your grandmother Yinjiao cried the most. Anyone who has a funeral has to invite her. Everyone in the village knows that she will cry when she is sixteen. In the autumn when she was thirteen, there were plagues everywhere. That day, her father was just carried away in the morning, and her mother left at night. I grew up painfully until I was sixteen. At the end of this spring, my fifth grandmother died in the west of the village. On the day of burial, all the children knelt on the ground and cried. People cry around the inner three floors and the outer three floors, pointing to who cries the most and who has more bitter water in his stomach. Your grandmother Yinjiao is standing in the distance. These five grandmothers are kind-hearted, and take Grandma Yinjiao, whom you have no dependence on, as your granddaughter. In your grandmother Yinjiao's heart, Grandma Wu is a great benefactor. At this time, the people in the fifth grandma's house shouted that your grandmother Yinjiao was coming. She plopped down on her knees in front of grandma Wu's coffin. First she cried silently, then she cried silently, and then she cried louder and louder. She scolded the five grandmothers one by one, crying more sadly than her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. She cried on the coffin of fifth grandma, and no one could persuade her to come. After crying, she couldn't cry, but she still cried. All the people present began to cry after her. After that, everyone knew that your grandmother Yinjiao cried well. If there is any more funeral, I will ask your grandmother Yinjiao to help me cry. However, few people can know how your grandmother Yinjiao cries so well. She has a bitter heart and is a bitter person. ...

After grandma Yinjiao came back, she hired someone to build a small hut by the river where she drowned that year, and from then on, she completely ended her wandering life in a foreign land. Qiu Qiu often goes to Granny Yinjiao's cabin to play. Sometimes I go with my grandmother. At this time, she sat by, quietly listening to the loud but unclear conversation between the two old people, and watching their heads keep shaking as if they were out of control. Sometimes, she goes alone. At that time, she will ask Grandma Yinjiao endlessly. In Qiu Qiu's view, Granny Yinjiao is a story, a long and fascinating story. Grandma Yinjiao likes Qiu Qiu very much. She likes her pigtails, small mouth and a pair of squinting eyes. She often reaches out her rough and trembling hands and caresses Qiu Qiu's head and cheeks. Sometimes, Grandma Yinjiao's expression will become very confused: "The little one looks just like you. When she left, she was younger than you ... "Qiu Qiu ran to the cabin by the river as soon as she was free. Old people and young people who have never met before always like to stay together. Qiu Qiu's grandmother said to people everywhere, "Our Qiu Qiu doesn't want me." "You have been in jiangnan for decades. Do Jiangnan people also want to help cry? " Qiu Qiu asked. "Man Zi won't cry, speak softly, softly, crying out loud, let a person sad. Jiangnan people are proud and always want to have a decent funeral. There are many women with beautiful voices in Jiangbei who have come to Jiangnan. If someone needs help crying, help crying. When you don't help crying, you take care of the children, sew clothes, cook and do odd jobs. Jiangnan people have money and can earn a lot of money. " "Why do you earn so much money?" "Build a house, build a big house, a big and spacious house." "Why not build it?" "It's covered." "Where is it?" "It's three miles from here, in dayangzhuang." When Qiu Qiu asked her why she built her house in dayangzhuang and why she lived in this small house instead of the big house in dayangzhuang, she stopped talking and just looked at dayangzhuang outside the door, as if looking for something that had almost passed away in her memory. Soon, Qiu Qiu heard her heavy sigh. For a long time, she remained silent. Qiu Qiu returned home, told this scene to her grandmother and asked her why. Grandma told her, "At that time, your grandmother Yinjiao was famous for crying. Whose funeral? Fiona Fang Myers came to see her cry. She was dressed in plain clothes, with a white handkerchief tucked in the neckline, her hair neatly combed and a small blue flower inserted. People who help to cry always insert a small blue flower. She came, asked the story of the deceased, sighed, knelt in front of the crying person, slapped her hand on the ground, threw her head back and burst into tears. Everyone else who knelt down and cried forgot to cry. It was not until your grandmother Yinjiao cried for a long time that she remembered what she should do. She followed her and cried all the way. Your grandmother Yinjiao's long cry can make people tremble. She can sink for a long time in one breath, like a hundred years, and then slowly come to her senses. She can also sing and cry. Her voice is very beautiful. She really cried and made people cry. What everyone likes to hear is her scolding and crying. Crying and crying, she' scolded'. If the child dies, she will' scold':' You are a debt collector. Is it easy for mom and dad to raise you so big with a sip of water? You heartless son of a bitch, just want a little help from you, kick you and leave? "How dare you!" She cried and said how the child's mother conceived him, gave birth to him and raised him. When I cried, I shouted,' If I had known today, your mother would have closed the toilet for you …' If an old man died, she would have shouted,' You damn fool, your heart is so cruel! Leave us alone, old and young. You go to leisure and make us suffer! Why don't you take us with you? You hurt all of us ... now that you mention it, don't you think it strange that so many people came all the way to listen to your grandmother Yinjiao cry? Among the people listening to the crying, there is a young gentleman who teaches primary school in dayangzhuang. The man is quiet, his face is very white and he wears a pair of glasses. As long as he hears the news that your grandmother Yinjiao is crying, he will always arrive. When he came, he stood in the crowd and silently looked at your grandmother Yinjiao. Every time she cries, Grandma Yinjiao always looks like she is seriously ill, and her face is ugly, so she can't get up on the stool. The people who listened to the crying dispersed, but she still had no strength to go home. That little gentleman always stands nearby. Your grandmother Yinjiao is on her way. He followed her not far away and kept her at home. Then your grandmother Yinjiao married him. At that time, your grandmother Yinjiao was like a different person, smiling all day and her face was always red. A person, now with a family and company, is still a cultured man who likes to wash his face with soap. Naturally, she was satisfied. In those days, she always thought that she couldn't let him live with her, so she went everywhere to help cry. But she won't cry all the time. The rest of the time, she will help people make clothes and collect soles. Later, she gave birth to a daughter named Mix. After Xiao Xiao's fourth birthday, she discussed with him: "If we had more money, we could build a house." . I want to go to Jiangnan, and Gao Qiao is headed by Oh Mom, who is willing to take me there. You are very young at home. She went to Jiangnan. Two years later, she brought back a sum of money and built a big house in dayangzhuang, where she couldn't find a second home in Fiona Fang. There were three people in the family. After a while, she left again. Finally, when the house was built and the money was not enough, I asked someone else to borrow money. She thinks there should be something in such a big house, otherwise it will look empty. She also wants to buy more clothes for her father and daughter to prevent them from walking in front of others and being looked down upon. Besides, she is used to wandering outside. Unexpectedly, when she came back the next year, Mr. Xiao had fallen in love with one of his female students. The students at that time were very old. That girl is very beautiful. Besides, your grandmother Yinjiao is old. A pair of eyes are always wet with tears all year round, and the edges are rotten, which makes people not very refreshing. She begged him piteously, and he said that the girl had a child. She didn't make any noise, but she came back with a small one. I said to her,' The house was built with the money you earned. Why did you leave it to him? You are too honest and stupid! She held Mix tightly in her arms and said nothing. Many people said to her,' Tell him to go out!' She shook her head and said, "I have a little darling." She buried her mouth in tiny hair and rolled it into her mouth with her tongue while crying. After that, she never went to Dayangzhuang again ... Qiu Qiu walked to the door and looked at the hut by the river with tearful eyes ... —— Excerpted from Wild Windmill (Blue Flower).
