Chapter 276: Visiting a Relative
After Widow Li finished speaking angrily, she turned around and ran into a narrow alley, Shu Jianqiang couldn't run fast with his leaning body, and he lost people in the end.
What's more, when he arrived at the boundary of Jiangkou Port, he didn't dare to mess around. As soon as Widow Li arrived home, she bolted the courtyard door, so she couldn't shout and shout loudly through the courtyard, right?
Shu Jianqiang went home with his head bowed, and Mrs. Shu was still scolding.
"Mother, don't say a few words! With your mouth, I want to find another daughter-in-law who knows cold and hot, but no one dares to marry in. ”
Well, it's a hornet's nest.
Mrs. Shu hysterically reprimanded her son: "The wings have grown stiff, do you dislike me as an old lady? Okay! I will die! If I die, no one will hinder your eyes!"
As he spoke, he rushed to the river and shouted that he wanted to jump into the river.
Shu Jianqiang persuaded her to come back. Unexpectedly, Shu Guigui, who ran out after him, stumbled and fell into the river. Fortunately, it was saved in time, so that no one died.
But it also scared Mrs. Shu and her mother enough. The only lifeline of the old Shu family at the moment, if something happens to this, it is really no different from cutting off children and grandchildren.
As soon as this incident came out, Mrs. Shu was a lot more honest, at least she stayed at home for the past few days, guarding her eldest grandson every step of the way.
In the blink of an eye, Qingming is just around the corner.
"Gangzi hasn't come back from Nancheng yet?"
On Saturday evening, seeing that Yingfang was still coming back alone, Grandma Zhang asked with concern.
"I guess it's not done yet. Ying Fang said soothingly, and changed the topic, "Qingming School is not on holiday, I want to go to the tomb tomorrow." ”
"That's fine. Your master picked a lot of mugwort beforehand, blanched it after eating, and steamed a few Qingming fruits to bring it away. There won't be many people going tomorrow, so I'll go with you. Since he is married, whether Gangzi is not there or not, he should also sweep the grave on the other side of the family. ”
"Good. ”
In the past few years, a series of documents have been issued, although there is no explicit prohibition on tomb sweeping, but from the series of incidents in which people were arrested for burning paper money and scattered paper money and criticized, it is somewhat clear that the current government does not welcome living people to pay tribute to the dead.
The so-called tomb sweeping, in fact, is really to use a hoe to remove weeds, or to strengthen the grave, so as not to loosen the soil and stones and expose the coffin under the wind and sun.
Early the next morning, Yingfang carried a bamboo basket, a hoe and a rake, and went to the cemetery in the back mountain with her sister to find the tombstones of her adoptive parents and ancestors of the Xiang family.
Taking advantage of the fact that the two of them came to the cemetery today, Yingfang took out the Qingming fruit in the basket, a plate in front of the grave of her adoptive parents, and a plate in front of the grave of the ancestors of the Xiang family. Empty the weeds and put white candles on the grave and light three long incense sticks.
The cigarette lingered, looking at the name on the tablet, Yingfang was stunned for a moment.
"Yingfang!
At the foot of the mountain, Aunt Deng's call came, and it seemed that Aunt Deng was not the only one.
"What's wrong?" Grandma Zhang ran over with her little feet, not forgetting to turn around and tell her apprentice, "Hurry up and put things away." "I'm afraid of another accident.
Ying Fang comprehended, quickly extinguished the long incense of the candle, quickly poured the two plates of Qingming fruit into a clean bamboo basket, covered it with a covered cloth, and was about to go down the mountain along another road with farm tools.
saw Aunt Deng and Grandma Zhang coming up one after the other.
"Yingfang girl, the Gangzi army sent a telegram, asking you to take a change of clothes and go quickly. ”
"What's wrong?" Ying Fang's face turned pale, and the heart that she had just put down rose again. Didn't he go to Nancheng? Could it be that this mission was dangerous? Hurt him?
Thinking about it like this, I panicked and almost tripped over the weeds.
"Don't panic, maybe we're thinking about it. Grandma Zhang comforted her, "I've packed my luggage left and right, let's go tomorrow, just go to visit relatives." Do you want the school to bother the secretary to help you take a vacation?"
"That's fine. Aunt Deng hurriedly said, "Yingfang, you pack up, Ming'er asked Lao Xiang to send you to the train station, and he will go to school after he is done." After you arrive at the army, whether Gangzi has anything to do or not, take a telegram and come back to tell us. ”
"Good. ”
The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Yingfang woke up.
The train to the provincial capital was not so early, but I couldn't sleep, so I just got up and baked some eggs and wild vegetable cakes and steamed bun flower rolls.
Although Erjin can't speak, he can perceive. It seems that she has been restless since yesterday, and she went up the mountain from the tunnel very early and came back from catching two live pheasants.
When Yingfang was busy in the stove room, Lao Jin took the two pheasants that were covered with rattan and could not move except cooing, into the big bamboo basket at the door of the hall that was ready to put the luggage.
Yingfang came out of the stove after finishing her work, and she happened to see this scene and was amused.
"Old Jin, what are you doing here?"
"Whew. ”
"Do you want me to take it to make up for Brother Gangzi?"
"Whew. ”
Ying Fang smiled and smoothed its shiny golden retriever: "That's okay, I won't be polite to you." Regardless of whether his hand is injured or not, he is a big man, who undergoes high-intensity training every day, and he really needs to boil some chicken soup to replenish his body. But this time, I can't take you away, it's okay for you to be home alone, right?"
"Wang!" Lao Jin straightened his chest, as if to say: Lao Tzu Army Dog King, who has Lao Tzu been afraid of?
Xiao Jin swept a fluttering look, and the military dog king immediately admitted it, lay on the ground, and licked the back of Yingfang's shoes.
Ying Fang chuckled and patted Lao Jin's head away, letting it play aside. After a busy morning, it's time to go.
"Lao Jin, I am sorry that you stay at home alone for a few days. I'll bring your proof of ride next time, so that we can go to the provincial capital together and settle down. When I was away, my wife would come over every day to feed you, so don't skip it. When I'm bored, I go to my mother's house and help me watch some ignorant chickens and ducks by the way......"
Yingfang babbled about Lao Jin, whether it understood it or not.
At the same time, he carried a basket of rations, and two large burdens were stacked on top of the basket, one containing a change of clothes and daily necessities, and the other was a large burden with a small burden, the small burden was food, and the big burden was full of medicinal herbs in case of emergency.
Lao Jin whimpered around her a few times, then staggered a few steps, and sat down in the courtyard with a golden knife, looking at Yingfang with blazing eyes, as if assuring her: Don't worry! With Lao Tzu here, there will be nothing at home.
Little Gold, hovered at the bottom of the basket, yawned. In the grass in the corner of the wall, a few snakes swam out.
Ying Fang looked at it and was overjoyed.
"Madara, you're awake?"
"Silk—"
The three brothers greeted her with a snake letter, and then the two brothers swam out of the courtyard of Xiang's house, covered by the lush weeds in the corner, all the way north, and finally swam into Yingfang's mother's house.
Yingfang is very determined about this.
As soon as the appointed time came, Xiang Rongxin was already waiting at the dock.
I grinned in surprise when I saw her appear on the dock carrying a basket that was taller and bigger than her own.
