[短篇] 挖墓风波 上 月旦评

in #cn-reader6 years ago (edited)

  阳娃的老母亲死了。
 

  阳娃有兄弟二人,还有两个姐姐,阳娃是最小的一个,两个姐姐嫁出去之后就很少回来,而阳娃的哥哥前几年的时候出车祸死了,老母亲就跟着阳娃生活。
 

  阳娃家里有几亩地,还有两个儿女在读初中,农忙的时候他回家种庄稼忙着收麦子,农闲的时候就去县城里打些工挣点钱,他媳妇在省城里打工,也正是因为如此,老母亲一人在家,因为不会使用电器做饭,索性就整日里自己烧些水,泡着馒头,就着咸菜吃,这样饥一顿饱一顿,加上年龄也大了,一天外出捡垃圾时一头栽在路边,再也没有起来。
 

  阳娃收到老母亲过世的消息后,就急忙从县城里赶了回来。因为手上拮据,加上还没到发工资的时间,他从工头那提前借了点钱,也算是从下个月发工资里预支些吧,其实像他们这种打短工的,都是跟着工头和项目跑,工资是月结的,除了每月工资到手寄回家一部分之外,剩下就是平日里抽点烟,喝点老啤酒,偶尔再出去县城的按摩发廊里打上几枪,到手里就几乎没有什么闲钱了,所以平日里一有点事情需要钱,就需要从工头手上提前预支些,这样周而复始,青黄不接,日子也就这么一天天过了。
 

  按照农村的习俗,人死后七天内要下葬的。这几年政府开始提倡火葬,县城里都开始实施了,郊区的地方那冒着粗粗白气的巨大烟囱,据说就是前几年建的火葬场。但在这偏远的穷困山村里,人们的观念还是很传统,有些人甚至偏执地认为人死后就必须得完整地土葬,尤其是像阳娃这种年龄很大的老太太,生前就多次跟阳娃唠叨,等她老了后,一定不能把她送到县城郊区那个火葬场,否则她下辈子就没法投胎做人了。
 

  墓地的位置是早就确定好了的,就在村后边的山里,挨着阳娃他哥墓的旁边。但令阳娃没有想到的是,发生了一件意外事情,令他非常恼火。
 

  农村土葬的风俗,就是挖个大坑,里边盖个半拱形的窑洞,人连同棺材放入,外边用砖块砌严实,最后用土埋起来,最外边立好碑。当然,按照习俗,这个墓碑要等过世后满三年时才能立。
 

  等墓挖到一半的时候,村里的三水老头闻声赶来了。。。

The series of stories in the village [short stories]

Yang's old mother died

Yangwa has two brothers and two sisters. Yangwa is the youngest one. After the two sisters are married, they rarely come back. Yangwa’s brother died in a car accident in previous years and the old mother followed. Yangwa lives.

Yang Wu’s family has several acres of land, and two children are in junior high school. When he is busy, he goes home to plant crops and is busy collecting wheat. When he is idle, he goes to the county town to make some work to make some money. His wife works in the provincial capital. It is precisely because of this that the old mother is at home because she does not use electrical appliances to cook meals. She simply burns some water all day long, soaks her steamed buns and eats the pickles. This is a good meal, plus age. It was also big. When I went out to pick up trash, I was planted on the side of the road and never got up again.

After receiving the news of the old mother’s death, Yangwa rushed back from the county town. Because of his lack of money, and because he has not yet paid the wages, he borrowed some money in advance from the foreman, and he was also able to prepay some wages from the next month. Actually, like these short-term workers, they followed suit. The foreman and the project run, the salary is monthly, except for the monthly salary to hand home some of the rest, the rest is to smoke cigarettes on weekdays, drink old beer, and then occasionally go out to the county massage parlor to shoot a few shots hand. There is hardly any spare cash in it, so on weekdays, when something is a bit of money, you need to advance some money from the foreman's hands in advance, so that when you start again and again, you will not be connected.

According to the custom of the countryside, people are buried for seven days after their death. In the past few years, the government began to promote cremation, and the county towns have begun to implement them. The huge chimneys in the suburbs, which are rough and white, are said to be the crematorium built in the past few years. However, in this remote and impoverished mountain village, the people’s concept is still very traditional. Some people even paranoid that people must complete the burial after death, especially the old lady like Yangwa. With Yangwa, when she is old, she must not send her to the crematorium on the outskirts of the county. Otherwise, she will not be able to reincarnate in her next life.

The location of the cemetery was well established. It was in the mountains behind the village, next to the tomb of his brother. However, what she did not expect was that something unexpected happened that made him very annoyed.

The custom of the rural burial is to dig a large pit and cover a half-arched cave dwelling inside. The man is put together with a coffin, and the outside is built with bricks. It is finally buried with soil, and a good monument is erected on the outside. Of course, according to custom, this tombstone will not be established until after three years of death.

When the tomb was dug to halfway, the old man of Sanshui came to the village.
