Chapter 1151: Worship
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Jinxiu prepared early, some dishes that needed to be cooked slowly had been put on the pot, even those cold dishes and stir-fried dishes had already been cut and prepared aside, in the special oven, the fat duck was roasted a little browned, and the specially built half-human-high copper pot, in which the boiled tumbling brine was exuding a bewildering aroma.
At this time, it was already the middle of the hour, Jinxiu took off her apron, put down her sleeves, and personally carried the basket to prepare the fruit dishes for worshipping the ancestors, and Sister-in-law Lin also handed over the paper money, incense and candles that had been prepared long ago, and the bamboo basket was a fresh fruit that was not available now, as well as a salted water chicken in a snow-white porcelain plate, a bean paste bag and a dry offering.
Yuesheng and Junyi were waiting in the hall, Chu Ruyun and the old people also asked to go, Jinxiu didn't say anything to stop them, they just said that they wanted to clean up the sacrifices, and no one refused to this request.
Wait for Jinxiu to wash and take care of themselves again, the time is close to the end of the hour, at this moment there are a lot of voices in the village, there are many people who have walked on this slope, not those who go to Xiliang to do business, but all carry baskets or baskets, carry the incense, candles, paper money, and walk towards Mangshan, where there is a place where people in the village gather to bury their relatives.
In the end, the basket was still taken by Jun Yi, Yuesheng took the brothers Fan Che and Fan Mo, but insisted on not taking Liu, after all, she now has a body unlike anything else, not to mention whether the old man has gone to the spring to know, only to say that even if it is really known under the spring, I am afraid that it will also mean the same thing as everyone.
Donghuang Longyu and Chu Zhengtao are both about fifty years old, because the perennial exercise is very healthy, even some secret injuries, but also slowly healed under the special preparation of Jinxiu's medicinal wine recuperation, only the Lin family, the body bones are weak, since this is the way to the cemetery, but there is no cable car to accompany them, can only rely on their own feet.
Along the way, everyone in the village will greet and talk, although it is incense to worship the ancestors, but today's Chinese New Year's Eve, representing the day of the new year, no one is sad, all of them are happy.
Chu Zhengtao originally refused to follow his old wife, but he couldn't stand Lin's stubbornness at this time, along the way, Chu Zhengtao didn't know how many times he said to carry her, whether it was the initial ease or the current slight panting, he was firmly rejected by Lin.
Winters in the north are notoriously cold, not to mention the fact that the country has just been hit by drought, and although it has been irrigated by rain and snow since then, it is very easy to be slapped in the face by the sand from the pavement when the north wind blows.
This road is not long, but the road is not easy to walk, when I walked for more than half of the time, it was Jinxiu who carried it on his back despite Lin's refusal, and a few smaller ones were also sticky and hung on the shoulders of adults.
It's just that when he was really standing in front of the tomb of the Li family and his wife, Jinxiu somehow subconsciously looked up at a place with green pines on the top of the mountain, because he heard Wuxian say that his mother's well-dressed mound was standing there, thinking about where their uncle and nephew should be at this moment.
The incense candle has been lit, and after a group of people worshipped, they tacitly gave way to the place by Jun Yi and Jun Yang pinched the paper money and carefully lit it in the pit dug out.
But the Eastern Emperor Longyu was still indifferent, Chu Zhengtao helped the Lin family to take a step forward and learn the appearance of the Eastern Emperor Longyu and bowed to the two tombs that were merged together, Chu Zhengtao's face was serious, and he lost the smiling appearance, which made his upright and tough facial features more and more angry, and he said thank you clearly, and his attitude couldn't be more rigorous.
The Lin family is different, although it is a little difficult for her, a person who rarely really walks around, to get along the way, but she is still very upright and tidy, Chu Zhengtao retreated, and the Lin family pulled Chu Ruyun to stand together, although the mother and daughter are different personalities, they are equally outstanding.
Jinxiu stood aside and watched quietly, as if she couldn't even feel the cold wind blowing beside her.
"Ansheng, at the beginning of the month, some gratitude is not enough to express in words, just like us...."Lin's voice was a little slow, but full of emotion, "You brought back Jin'er, like your own child, this is not a thank you can be erased, she is Jin'er's mother......"
Xu is depressed for too long, Xu is feeling a lot, Lin and Chu Ruyun talked for a long time, until the people around the worshippers began to leave one after another, Chu Ruyun stopped, Lin, a person who has lived for most of his life, has seen a lot of joys and sorrows, and all kinds of things in the world have been able to regulate his emotions well, but at this moment, Chu Ruyun has red and swollen eyes and tears on his face.
Jun Yi and Jun Yang, Fan Che and Fan Mo, the woman has only one splendid beauty, in Chu Ruyun's intermittent sobbing, they covered the burned paper money fire, so as not to cause a fire caused by sparks falling into the bushes, silently bent down, bowed to the couple who died early, and then turned around and went down the mountain.
This time, Jinxiu lost his previous heaviness, although he still didn't say much, but his expression was more relaxed than every time before, and the pleasant smile on the corner of his lips fell into Junyi's eyes, making his mood turbulent again.
Qingniu Village under the mountain was spared by the smoke this day, the children ran in the village with carefree grins, and saw the people of the same village politely stop and call sweetly, most of them will be exchanged for a handful of food or a few copper plates, yes, this is also the happiest day for the children, and because of this, they are running more and more diligently.
It was much easier to go down the mountain than to go up the mountain, but Jinxiu still carried Lin on his back halfway, seeing that Jinxiu's pace was easy, Lin was not as resistant as he was at the beginning, but sighed and lay on Jinxiu's neck and spoke
"You girl, you should be so gorgeous and eye-catching..."Jinxiu didn't know where Lin said this, but she still raised her head and gave Lin a shallow smile.
"Whether it's your mother or me, I will blame myself when I see you so capable now, especially your mother, she always thinks that if she hadn't had to follow the march in the first place, maybe you wouldn't have been forced to be so strong.
But after seeing too much, I think that only you are the most beautiful like this. Not to mention that you didn't blame your mother at all, such a magical thing happened to you, but you can still maintain this heart, it's already very rare, grandma, it's in the ground, and it's blind..."
The old man said, and his tone was also naïve, so that Jinxiu's heart and eyes were sore and swollen, and she kept tumbling.....
