Chapter 14 Responsibilities of the Next Generation
Shen Hui's first reaction was to laugh, and he slowed down and turned around after hanging up the phone.
Zhang Jinhua asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Hui said: "Shen Yuan's car is slippery. ”
Zhang Jinhua was taken aback: "There's nothing wrong with people, right?"
"Haha, you deserve it. ”
Shen Tao laughed out loud without any scruples, with a look of schadenfreude.
Shen said: "It should be fine, the car is running slowly, even if you slide off the road, there will be no accident." ”
"That's good!"
Zhang Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief, if there was a car accident halfway through the ancestor sacrifice, it would be a joke, and then glared at Shen Tao again: "What are you laughing at, you are still happy, don't talk nonsense for a while, don't watch a good show." ”
Shen Tao pouted: "Am I that stupid?"
The road was too narrow, Shen Hui's car was too long, and the wheelbase was more than 3 meters, so it was very difficult to make a U-turn on such a rural road, and it took several minutes to turn around, and after running back for less than three kilometers, I saw a large number of people standing on the side of the road.
When he pulled over to the side of the road, he saw Shen Yuan's car slid into the canal on the left.
Dad and uncles were in front of the car, and Shen Yuan was on the phone.
Shen Hui got out of the car and asked, "What's the matter, how did you slide down the road?"
Shen Yue said: "I slipped down when overtaking." ”
Shen Hui looked at the road, the middle of the road is high and the sides are low, when overtaking, he rushes to the left, and the left side is low, no wonder he will slide into the ditch, he just slipped down when he overtook himself, and he was also shocked into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the canal is relatively narrow, but the two wheels on the left go in, and at most the skin is broken, and the problem is not big.
At this time, Shen Yuan finished the phone call, and his face was gloomy.
Shen Lixiao asked, "What's the situation?"
Shen Yuan said: "Today's trailers are busy, and there are too many cars that have slipped into the ditch, so I can only come over in the afternoon." ”
Shen Limin said: "Then throw the car here first, go to the grave first, and then tow the car when you get down." ”
Shen Liguo said: "I can still get two." ”
Shen Lixiao said: "Shen Hui's is a seven-seater, and the rest is in Shen Hui's car." ”
At that moment, everyone got into the car one after another, the uncle Shen Liren and Shen Feng got into Shen Liguo's car, and the aunt and Shen Feng's daughter-in-law got into Shen Hui's car, and the six cars became five.
When she got back on the road, the eldest aunt said with a smile: "It's good to sit in a car of more than two million yuan." ”
Shen Feng's daughter-in-law said: "When I saw Shen Hui overtaking just now, I also slid a little, and I was startled. Dad didn't let Shen Yuan overtake, but Shen Yuan said that Shen Hui was okay with overtaking, but he ended up in the ditch. ”
Zhang Jinhua also had palpitations: "Who said no, I was scared into a cold sweat just now, but fortunately I didn't slide down." ”
Shen Tao said with a smile: "This car has an anti-skid system, and the electronic system will automatically adjust the body throttle when it skids, otherwise why is it worth more than two million, Shen Yuan's car does not have this function." ”
"A good car is a good car!"
The eldest aunt and Shen Feng's daughter-in-law both smiled and complimented, naturally feeling that Shen Tao was showing off.
After running for more than 20 minutes, I finally arrived in the village.
Shen Limin has already contacted the sheep, according to the tone set by Lao Tzu, the sheep offered by the eldest uncle and the second uncle last year, this year it is the turn of Shen Liguo's brothers, Shen Hui has not come back for two years, and he has offered a sheep, Shen Qian and Shen Chao have offered one.
The sheep belong to Shen Gang's family, and they are also Shen Hui's generation, but they are far away.
"Shen Feng, a few of you and Shen Gang went in to catch sheep. ”
Shen Limin watched everyone get out of the car one after another, and ordered while lighting a cigarette: "They are all people who are going to be in charge, and these things will be handled by your brothers in the future, and the old men are getting old, and they can still be managed for you for a few years." ”
Shen Feng agreed, said hello, and followed Shen Gang to the sheepfold.
Shen Hui and Shen Tao also followed, stepping on the muddy sheep dung into the sheepfold.
However, when Shen Tao went in, he took off his clothes and threw them to his mother, which made everyone wonder, and the third aunt also asked: "What is Shen Tao doing when he takes off his clothes, he is not afraid of catching a cold on such a cold day." ”
Zhang Jinhua said with a smile: "This is the clothes that Shen Hui bought when he came back, and it costs more than 10,000 yuan, he is afraid that it will be ruined." ”
The third aunt suddenly said: "No wonder he wants to take off his clothes." ”
Shen Yue's daughter-in-law said: "The down jacket of the third aunt is not cheap, I have never seen this brand." ”
Zhang Jinhua finally humbled and said, "It was also bought by Shen Hui, and I didn't ask how much it was." ”
The women muttered in their hearts, believe that you are the only ghost, and they didn't ask how they knew that Shen Tao's down jacket was more than 10,000 yuan.
The light in the sheepfold is very dark, and there are many sheep, I am afraid that there are not hundreds.
The seven brothers Shen Hui followed into the circle, and under the command of Shen Gang, they chased and intercepted the sheep, but they didn't catch them for a long time, they were all rushed to the mountains to graze the sheep, unlike those captive sheep, all of them were good runners, and their strength was not small.
Shen Qian finally grabbed the hair on the sheep's back, but before he could exert himself, he was pulled by the sheep and fell into the mud and pounced on the sheep dung, not to mention how embarrassed it was, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Fortunately, the snow did not come in the sheepfold, and it was relatively dry.
If it's outside, you'll have to be covered in sheep dung.
Shen Gang couldn't help but tease: "You college students, you are all grasping the pen, how can you do this job." ”
Shen Qian was not embarrassed, got up and said with a smile: "This is going back to the countryside, we are all third-level cripples, and we can't do anything." ”
After a lot of effort, the three sheep were finally caught, pressed down on the ground and tied the leg of the sheep, and the two of them carried them out one by one and threw them on the pickup truck, and then stamped their feet vigorously, and there was no shed in the outer circle of the sheepfold, and the snow and sheep dung were mixed together, and it was all sheep dung and mud.
I went in and walked around, and when I came out, my feet were all covered with a thick layer of sheep dung and mud.
Shen Tao felt sorry for his shoes, and his regretful intestines were blue.
I knew I was going to do this job, so I didn't wear the new shoes that the boss bought.
And when the sheep were loaded, they all got into their chariots and prepared to go to the grave.
While Shen Gang was talking to Shen Limin, he saw that Shen Hui also drove a car, so he asked, "Shen Hui also bought a car?"
Shen Limin said: "Shen Hui is a big mix, his car is more than two million." ”
Shen Gang was surprised: "It's all big bosses, Shen Jiagou belongs to your family." ”
He said to Shen Liguo again: "Guo Laozi and my aunt are blessed, your son has been raised well." ”
Shen Liguo said with a smile: "What kind of blessing, it is a blessing to let me worry less." ”
Shen Limin took out a thousand yuan and handed it to Shen Gang, saying, "The snow is too thick, so don't eat it on the grave." Catch a lamb and kill it and let Du Ping stew it, and after a while we will come from the grave to eat, how many sheep have been eaten, and Du Ping's stewed mutton is the most authentic. ”
Shen Gang said: "A lamb eats it, and what money does it give." ”
Shen Limin said: "I have earned all the hard-earned money, I can't lose you, let's go." ”
After that, he got into the car, Shen Liguo also got into Envision, and the convoy set off again and drove to the grave.
Shen Hui's grave is in the mountains west of the village, it is a new grave set up by Shen Hui's grandfather, the largest buried is the grandfather, and below is Shen Hui's grandfather and second grandfather, one grandfather has been passed down to three generations, and Shen Hui's generation is also considered to be prosperous.
There is still a three-kilometre road from the village to the grave, but the road is not easy to walk.
All the way to the bottom of the mountain, all five cars stopped, people got off, one by one got on.
Here to go uphill, usually no problem, cars can go up, but the snow is not so good, the main slope is too steep, nearly 45 degrees of the slope, there is a ditch below, can not go far to accelerate rush, it is really not good to go up.
The two overlords went first, but they were slapped in the face, and none of them climbed up.
When we reached two-thirds of the way up, we were halfway up the slope.
I tried a few times and couldn't get up, so I had to get aside and let the pickup get on first.
The wheels of the pickup truck are more exaggerated than Shen Hui's snow tires, and it feels like it is comparable to a tractor, and it climbs up without suspense. Then came Shen Hui, fortunately he changed to a snow tire, although he climbed crookedly, but he finally went up.
The third is Envision, although the process is very laborious and the posture is indecent, but it still climbs up.
Shen Limin said: "I knew that I would have changed to a snow tire." ”
Shen Liren said: "Push it!"
Shen Limin got into the car and continued to climb, and then a bunch of people pushed hard behind him.
Shen Yue's daughter-in-law didn't step on it steadily, and her feet slipped and fell into the snow.
used the strength of breastfeeding, and finally pushed and climbed up.
Then Shen Lixiao also pushed it up.
Everyone got back into the car, ran another kilometer, and finally arrived at the cemetery.
Shen Hui took brooms and shovels from the pickup truck and began to clear the snow, while the women took out burning paper and began to press paper on each grave, and the rest moved the sacrifices in the car and placed them in the open space that had just been cleared.
After sweeping out a large clearing, the three sheep were pulled over and the sacrifice ceremony began.
The crowd knelt in a circle and looked at the three sheep with their eyes open.
As a result, the three sheep did not give face, that is, they did not receive it, the cold weather was cold, the cold wind was howling, and everyone knelt in the snow and their hands were almost stiff, and the three sheep were also shivering with cold water, but they just didn't appreciate it.
After tossing for a while, Shen Hui's frozen feet were almost numb.
Shen Liguo held a water ladle and watered the sheep's head while babbling something.
......
For half an hour, the three sheep were estimated to be too cold to stand it, and they had a big feather shake, although they were thrown all over their faces, everyone was relieved, and quickly kowtowed, and then pulled the sheep aside and re-tied the leg of the lamb, ready to be slaughtered and sacrificed.
Shen Limin said: "Don't kill the boss, let the sons kill, you are also fifty, and you can kill for a few years." ”
Shen Liguo handed the knife to Shen Hui: "You come to kill." ”
Shen Hui had no choice but to take the knife, and said in his heart that this dress was really useless.
Shen Limin said to Shen Liren again: "Don't kill Boss Ren, let Shen Feng and a few of them do it, they are all about to enter the ground, when do you want to do it, but now you don't do it, one day we will enter the ground, it will be difficult to go to the grave and hire someone to come." ”
Shen Liren also took a knife, looked around when he heard this, and asked, "Who else will kill?"
Shen Feng and the others all looked at each other, except for Shen Hui, who had worked as a butcher for a period of time before, there was really no one who had ever done killing, let alone killing sheep, not even killing chickens, how could they know how to kill sheep.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "I've seen people kill in the army, I'll kill them!"
After that, he took the knife and said to Shen Yue and Shen Feng, "You guys give me a shot." ”
Shen Feng and Shen Yue agreed, and followed hard.
