Chapter 350: Going to the Grave (I)
It's almost noon, and everyone has already pasted all the couplets on the windows on the doors, leaving only a pair of couplets at the door of Canghai's study, waiting for Canghai to get a handwritten couplet back.
Shi Wei heard the sound and went out of the door, and saw Canghai rolling a roll of white paper under his arm, and he was walking back in a hurry, and he was a little fox who stole a chicken, so he smiled and opened his mouth to ask: "What is so happy, by the way, you didn't want to come back to the couplet?"
Canghai waved his hand at Shi Wei, and said proudly: "What's the matter if the couplet is not couplet, I got two good things from the two old men!"
Before he finished speaking, Canghai looked at the kiln door of his study and saw that it was still bare, so he opened his mouth curiously and asked, "Why is there no sticker on the door of the study?"
Shi Wei smiled: "Aren't you waiting for you to come back with the couplet, why don't you complain that we didn't post it."
Canghai shouted at the top of his voice: "Peace, peace!"
"Hey, what's the matter with the second brother?" Ping'an's head quickly stretched out of the kitchen, looked at Canghai and asked.
Canghai stretched out his hand and pointed to the door of the kiln in his study: "Paste the couplet!"
"What about the couplet?" Ping An looked at Canghai curiously, and he also thought that Canghai had asked for the couplet back.
Canghai said: "Stick whatever you plan to post in the morning!"
After speaking, he took Shi Wei's hand and picked up the kiln door curtain of the study, walked into the study, and when he arrived at the study, he directly spread out the two ink treasures under his arm on the desk.
"This writing is so beautiful!" Shi Wei immediately praised when she saw the two words on the desk.
Although she didn't have much research on calligraphy, Shi Wei saw that the words on the desk were neat and tidy, and she had a sense of transcendent beauty, so she couldn't help but praise it.
Canghai smiled: "I didn't expect that this old man Xu is still a calligrapher, look at this writing, maybe he can change a suite for our son to marry a daughter-in-law in the magic capital in the future."
"What nonsense," Shi Wei blushed. Although she and Canghai have already lived a married life, Shi Wei can't help but blush a little every time she mentions it.
Canghai didn't care much about it, and now he was admiring Xu Sheng's old man's Mobao "Ai Lian Said" on the table, and said with a smile while watching it that he had earned it this time.
In fact, Canghai did earn it, Xu Sheng's old man's handwriting is very good, although he is not famous among the public, and he is not as famous as the calligraphy outside, but he still has a lot of fame in the real calligraphy and painting circle, and the price of the work is not low, and the key is that Xu Sheng's family has money, and he does not make a living by selling words, so there are very few words left.
Not to mention Canghai's specially written words, even the couplets in the hands of the villagers can be sold for thousands of dollars, not to mention the famous and elegant official work in Canghai's hands. Now the old man's words may not be able to change a car of more than 300,000 yuan, but once the old man Xu travels to the west, such a work can at least be replaced by a top-of-the-line land patrol.
The joyful Canghai finished appreciating this character, and then looked at Qu Guowei's work below, the old man wrote to Canghai "A passage in the book of Zeng Guofan's family: People's hearts can be quiet, although they are changeable, they are also clear. If it is not quiet, it will be leisurely, and it will also be longing for peace. Be still, not in the realm.
"It's a little worse, but it can still be sold for two dollars! It's a property for your children and grandchildren!" Canghai said to himself with great satisfaction.
When Shi Wei heard this, she immediately had an urge to cover her brain, thinking that why this person was like this, and now she has nothing to do and started to buy an industry for her children and grandchildren.
"How do you know it's a son?" Shi Wei scolded Canghai.
Canghai smiled and closed the words on the table: "If you have a few more children, I won't believe that God looks down on me so much, and I won't give me a son?"
"I didn't expect you to be patriarchal!" Shi Wei glanced at Canghai with a little disgust.
Canghai said: "Who said that I only need a son, I have at least both children and daughters, if possible, we can have as many children as we want, and when the time comes, I will inherit the family business, so that I can have a room to pick and choose!"
Shi Wei heard it and said out loud: "How many more, does the family have a throne that needs to be inherited?"
Canghai smiled when he heard this: "Although I don't have a throne, I have something that is much more precious than the throne, as long as my children and grandchildren are not too wasteful, they can always stutter and eat, and even live a good life."
"Yo, I didn't expect you to have this baby, take it out and let me see it!" Shi Wei thought Canghai was talking nonsense, so she asked with a smile.
Canghai immediately shook his head and said: "It's not proper, it's not proper! This thing is passed on to men but not to women, and sons to daughters-in-law, although you are the daughter-in-law of the old Cang family, you have no chance to see it!"
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and pack up your things, go cook, we have to go to the grave after eating" Shi Wei didn't have the heart to continue talking nonsense with Canghai, and after saying a word, he twisted his waist and walked towards the door.
Canghai put the two characters into the bamboo box, and then thought about it for a while, and simply put the box in his own space, waiting for the next time he went to the magic capital, he would find someone to frame the two words, and hang them in the study to fill the façade when the time comes.
After putting away the calligraphy and paintings, Canghai went out, and when he came to the kitchen, he found that Ping An had already begun to make peace.
Seeing that Ping'an reconciled the noodles, Canghai rolled up his sleeves and began to roll out the dough, Ping'an was on the side, and his godmother Xu Xiaomin took Qi Yue to choose vegetables on the side.
There is nothing particular about eating noodles, everyone has to eat around the table together, so the first pot of noodles is ready, the first batch of people start to eat, Canghai continues to eat the first pot of noodles, and it took more than half an hour to eat this meal.
Xu Xiaomin saw that Shi Wei still had to wash the dishes, and immediately said loudly: "You guys are busy with your work, I'll just do the work of washing the dishes."
Shi Wei said: "It doesn't take much time, everything to go to the grave is ready, just pick it up and leave."
Xu Xiaomin pushed Shi Wei away: "If you go early, come back early, it's snowing outside for two days in a row, it's definitely not easy to walk on this road, you go with Canghai, can I still do this bit of work?"
Hearing Xu Xiaomin say this, Shi Wei shook off the water in her hand, wiped it on her apron, and then untied her apron and hung it on the hook: "Then I'll go."
"Go ahead!" Xu Xiaomin said as he began to wash the dishes quickly.
When Shi Wei got outside, Canghai and Ping'an had already put the plough on the cover, not only Canghai wanted to go to the grave, Ping'an, as the eldest grandson of the Hu family, couldn't run away from the grave, although he now set up another household, but the ancestors couldn't change it, so he helped Canghai tidy it up, and Ping'an turned his head to his grandfather's house, waiting for the whole family to go to the grave together.
The Canghai family went to the grave of only two people, Canghai and Shi Wei, Meng Meng, this little girl Cang Hai is not ready to bring, take Meng Meng to the grave that is not to add to the father's blockage, and generally speaking, even if it is a daughter, there is no grave in the Chinese New Year's Eve, this year is considered Shi Wei Zhang's marriage to the Cang family as a daughter-in-law, it is necessary to come, and when it comes to the grave in the Chinese New Year's Eve next year, Shi Wei does not need to come.
This thing can be regarded as a feudal remnant, but Canghai doesn't plan to change anything, anyway, according to the old rules.
With a large bag of things, Shi Wei checked and checked, and after making sure that it was correct, she got on the climbing plow, grabbed two baskets containing offerings and fire candles, and signaled that Canghai could go.
After urging the ugly donkey, Canghai went to the entrance of the village, and when he passed by the kiln of the third uncle's house, he heard the third uncle calling himself, Canghai stopped climbing the plow, and saw the third uncle walking out of the house carrying a basket of offerings.
"You're going to the grave, aren't you?"
Seeing Canghai nodded, the third uncle said, "Just pick us up!"
After speaking, he put the basket in his hand on the climbing plow, and shouted to the kiln: "Little rabbit, hurry up, the last grave is still grinding."
Cang Henan ran out of the kiln recklessly, and said as he ran: "Coming, coming!"
"Who to call, a call is half an hour, and the phone bill doesn't cost anything, doesn't it?" Cang Shiyuan looked at his son and said.
Cang Henan climbed into the car, sat down firmly and said, "Dad, I'm not calling, I'm chatting on WeChat without phone bills, what do you know."
Cang Shiyuan listened and said: "Hold your mobile phone and chat, charge it several times a day, and you don't need money for the electricity bill at home!"
Cang Henan gave a thumbs up to his father speechlessly: "You can really do it!"
Canghai smiled and drove the ugly donkey on the road, and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, he met Wei Wenkui's family who also went to the grave, Wei Wenkui's family sat on the plow full of people in the family, although Wei Changli is a girl, but Wei Wenkui's younger brother Wei Wenhong is an only daughter, and if she doesn't go to the grave, no one will go to the grave.
The two climbing plows walked side by side, and the people on the plows naturally began to chatter.
"Brother Wenkui, I think it's better to let Changli recruit a son-in-law!" Cang Shiyuan glanced at Wei Changli and said to Wei Wenkui.
Wei Wenkui nodded and said: "That's what I mean, Changli also agreed, but the two young men who looked at each other a few years ago Changli are not very satisfied, and I am not satisfied, the oily tone is not solid at first glance, and one by one also dyes his hair, you say that you are not a girl, a man of a few feet dyes like a big rooster, how awkward it looks, men have to be rougher......."
Cang Shiyuan said with a smile: "This is popular now!"
"That can't be done by men and women, what I can't get used to is a man with an earring" Wei Wenkui said indignantly: "What kind of things are played on TV now, good children are taken badly, and those who are not men and women can also be on TV ?......."
"Great, that's called fashion! You don't understand!" Wei Changhao argued.
Wei Wenkui turned his head and glared at his son: "Fashionable fart, not a man or a woman is also fashionable?" Then the eunuchs who served the emperor in the palace were the most fashionable in the past, and they were neither men nor women, do you want to learn?"
Wei Wenkui's words directly amused the two people who climbed the plow.
The older generation can't see some of the current trends, as for Canghai, they have an idea that has nothing to do with me, but just like Canghai's children want to be so fashionable, Canghai definitely doesn't mind pumping their big ears, and they don't change their teachings and directly kick out the heirs of their own pendants.
Straight man of steel!
"How are you going on a blind date?" Canghai turned the topic to Wei Changsheng and Wei Changhao.
said that it was the blind date season a year ago, and there was usually nothing to do in Sijiaping Village, but now the babies in Sijiaping Village are also considered to be sought-after goods in ten miles and eight townships.
When Wei Wenkui heard this, he became even more angry: "Don't mention these two rabbit cubs, I think there are two girls who are very good, who knows that a girl who can't look at them, and they can't look down on them, you say these two bad things! What is the use of this girl's good-looking face, she can eat and drink, and if you marry a daughter-in-law, you have to marry a ...... with a big ass and a good birth."
He turned his head and wanted to train his son, but Wei Wenkui saw Shi Wei at a glance, and immediately felt that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately explained: "Doctor Shi, I didn't mean you!"
Shi Wei smiled and waved her hand: "It's okay uncle!"
Shi Wei's appearance is not beautiful to describe, it can be directly classified into the category of scourge. It is useless for Wei Wenkui to say that his face is good-looking, but now there is a good-looking face next to him, so he can't explain it for a while.
Cang Shiyuan said at this time: "Looking for the mother-in-law is the first to be virtuous, looks or anything is secondary, what are you looking for the mother-in-law for? Isn't it just waiting for the day's work, and returning to the house There is a person who knows cold and hot, marrying a mother-in-law is not marrying a fairy girl, even if it is a fairy girl, you have to have that ability, and you have to be a fairy to become a god, or the fairy girl will take a fancy to you ?......."
When Wei Wenkui heard that it was exactly what I wanted, he slapped his thigh: "It's not like that, the two little cubs just don't understand this truth......."
Canghai heard Uncle Wei and Third Uncle say this, and immediately figured out the whole thing, it turned out that Wei Wenkui liked the two chubby girls, but Wei Changsheng and Wei Changhao couldn't look down on them, and fell in love with two slender and thin girls, but unfortunately the girls didn't look down on their brothers, so Wei Wenkui's side didn't make a decision to come a year ago, and it was a belly of fire.
