Chapter 786: Parting (1/2)
"Crazy, my grandparents and I will go home tomorrow!" Walking under the dim street lamp, Yiyi said to Zhang Feng with a reluctant face.
"Huh, what are you going back for?" asked Zhang Feng with a blanket expression.
"It's the Midyear Festival in two days!" Yiyi glanced at Zhang Feng and said.
"Damn, I actually forgot about this!" Zhang Feng patted his head in annoyance, and then asked, "Then when are you going to come back?"
"Hehe, don't worry, we'll be back right away after the Midyear Festival!" Seeing Zhang Feng in such a hurry, Yiyi smiled slightly and said with satisfaction.
The Midyear Festival is also a relatively large festival in the local area, even more important than the Dragon Boat Festival, because the Midyear Festival is a festival to worship the ancestors, so every household has to prepare a lot of sacrifices in advance.
Some families even start sacrificing from the first day of the lunar calendar until the fifteenth.
However, there are not many people who attach such importance to it, and generally everyone only sacrifices for three days, and some sacrifice for one day.
In the past, the villagers almost only sacrificed for one day, because at that time, everyone's life was not easy, and it was the ancestors of the other world who were in charge.
…………
Early the next morning, Yiyi drove away with her grandparents!
Zhang Feng and his family sent them to the entrance of the village.
"Goodbye, goodbye grandparents!"
"Hehe, goodbye Xiaofeng, we'll be back after the festival!" the old man said with a smile,
To tell the truth, the two elders really like the environment here in Moon Lake, and if they don't have to go back to worship their ancestors, they don't want to go back.
The hometown where the old man used to live has been relocated as a whole, and even the graves of his ancestors have all been moved to the city, so the old man will return to Linxing City when he goes back this time.
After retirement, the old man is very dissatisfied with the environment in the city, if he lives in an ordinary commercial house, it is like living in a prison cell, if he lives in a villa at home, then there are no friends who can chat and relieve boredom, so he will go to the city, and the old man will feel uncomfortable.
"Yiyi will come back soon!"
"Mm-hmm......" Yiyi finally waved at Zhang Feng, then reluctantly closed the window, drove her red BMW, and took her grandparents to speed away outside the village.
When Yiyi's car disappeared into the distance of the road, Zhang Feng shook his head and walked home with his two younger sisters.
"Let's go, go home, Satsuki Xiaolin!"
"Okay, big brother!"
…………
Walking to the door of Uncle Erniu's house, Zhang Feng saw that Uncle Erniu and his uncle were pouting and tinkering with something under the eaves, so Zhang Feng motioned to the two sisters not to speak, walked in quietly, and then suddenly asked:
"Yo, what are you two doing, Uncle Erniu?"
"I'll go, it's you kid!"
"Oops, madman, you almost scared me to death!" the little guy said with an exaggerated face in his acting skills.
Seeing the appearance of the little guy, Zhang Yue and Zhang Lin couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, Uncle Erniu, are you making kites??" Zhang Feng asked curiously when he saw the bamboo strips and rice paper on the ground.
"You kid has bad eyes, this is a kite, is this a Kong Ming lantern, is ???it good," Uncle Er Niu put out the half-finished product, and then glared at Zhang Feng and said.
"Kong Ming lantern??Uncle Erniu, you would still do this?I really didn't expect it!" Zhang Feng joked with a smile.
", what didn't you expect, didn't your second aunt marry me because she liked my strong hands-on ability?"
"Puff (hee-hee)" Zhang Yue and Zhang Lin really couldn't hold it back, and couldn't help laughing again, feeling that Uncle Erniu was really thick-skinned.
"Hehe, strong hands-on ability? You almost crippled people, of course your hands-on ability is strong!" Zhang Feng said funny.
"Get out, buddy, that's a hero saving beauty, a hero saving beauty, do you know? I see that your kid is jealous of the love between me and your Aunt Erniu, hehe, it's a pity that you can't meet!" Uncle Erniu was proud when he remembered his encounter with his wife.
Seeing Uncle Erniu's smug look, Zhang Feng shook his head with a wry smile.
Speaking of which, the love between Uncle Erniu and Aunt Erniu is really legendary
Again, Uncle Er Niu went to the street to catch the market, and as soon as he walked near the vegetable market, he saw a little girl shouting to catch the thief.
Uncle Er Niu has been strong like a cow since he was a child, and when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he could pick up a big grinding disc of one hundred and seventy or eighty pounds with one hand, so the thief on the street was his opponent, and after he was caught, Ping Pong was beaten violently, and he was soon beaten by the crying father and mother.
Seeing that Uncle Erniu was so powerful and the little girl who had had her money stolen, her liver suddenly thumped carefully, and her face showed a trace of shyness, and her good impression of Uncle Erniu increased.
It's a pity that Uncle Erniu at that time didn't know what feelings were, he was a second-class teenager, elm pimple, and he wanted to learn from the heroes on TV, do good deeds without leaving his name, and return the money stolen by the thief to Aunt Erniu, so he left.
It stands to reason that this is the end of the story of the two,
But a few years later, the fates of the two were miraculously linked again.
After the matchmaker's introduction, the two actually started a blind date.
And Aunt Erniu recognized Uncle Erniu at a glance, so the good thing of the two became a good thing at once, and Uncle Erniu also got a wife who was not only shrewd and capable, but also beautiful in the eyes of everyone's envy and hatred.
Therefore, Uncle Erniu has always been proud, every time he mentions the affairs of the husband and wife, he can spit at the foam, talk non-stop, and can't wait to talk about him for three days and three nights in a row, so that people all over the world know about them.
chatted with Uncle Erniu for a while
Zhang Feng and his two younger sisters continued to walk home.
"Big brother, do we also want to buy some gold ingots?"
Gold ingots are a local sacrificial item, in fact, it is similar to the role of paper money, which is used by the ancestors underground.
Every year when it comes to the Midyear Festival, almost every household will burn some for the old people who have passed away.
"Okay, let's go to the county seat to buy some later!" Zhang Feng nodded with a smile, there are still a lot of things to buy at home.
The midyear festival not only burns paper money, but also has some fruit snacks or other tributes, I believe this is the case in many places.
"Wow, big brother, look, the kidnapper is making river lanterns!" Suddenly the little girl screamed, waking up Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng followed the prestige, and saw the abductor sitting in his yard, using bamboo strips and rice paper to make beautiful lotus lanterns, and there were already some finished products, which were really beautiful.
"Hehe, Xiaofeng, where are you going, come into the house and sit for a while!" Hearing the voices of Zhang Feng's brothers and sisters, the kidnapper smiled and beckoned the three of them to arrive.
Xiaoyue, the girl, hurriedly ran in, and when she saw the river lantern on the ground, she immediately liked it.
"Hehe, the river lantern you made is so beautiful, can I learn from you?"
"Hehe, okay, this river lantern is actually very simple, you look at it carefully, I will teach you how to do it............"
The abductor did not hide it, and patiently taught the three Zhang Feng brothers and sisters from beginning to end.
