Chapter 31: Qingming (II)

It was only ten minutes' drive from the county seat to Xiyuan's house, and Xiyuan and his party got off the bus and had to walk a few minutes to get home.

Xiyuan and they passed through several paddy fields, and the two-story small building of Xiyuan's house was in front of them. Suddenly, a big yellow dog came up to him with his tail wagging his tail. When Xiyuan saw that it was her home-raised rhubarb, she immediately ran forward and hugged herbald, and asked affectionately: "Rhubarb, you miss your sister too!" Rhubarb "whined" and rubbed against Xiyuan, as if in response to Xiyuan's words. Hee-won hugged rhubarb and stroked it and kissed it.

Jiang Ao saw that Xiyuan was so close to a dog, so he immediately shouted: "Tangyuan, don't be too close to the dog." When Xi Yuan heard this, she raised her head and glanced at Jiang Ao sadly. I knew in my heart that he was worried about himself, after all, he was from a big city, and he knew rabies better than we did in the countryside. But how can Hee Won resist not being intimate with Rhubarb? After all, it is the only animal that it has fed in its two lifetimes, and for its previous life, it is not just an animal, it is a partner who grew up with him! It's it, it's been being its friend, it's it, it's listening to its own heart. But in the end, it was lost after I went to high school and lived on campus. On the weekend, Xiyuan went home and cried sadly when she learned that Rhubarb had been lost. I went to several nearby villages to look for it, but no one saw it, and everyone said that it might have been dragged by dog dealers to sell meat. After Xiyuan heard this, she was even more sad. In the end, it was my mother who buried the rhubarb's nest and chain, and told SΓΉ Xiyuan to leave as rhubarb! Hee Won gradually got better. But as long as I think about it, I still feel sad. In this life, I am glad that Rhubarb is still there, although it takes so long to see each other, (because Xiyuan's family moved into the city, Rhubarb stayed in his hometown, but Xiyuan specially told his father to take care of his rhubarb.) But it's also a comfort to myself. But Jiang Ao is not allowed to get close to it, so how can it.

Rhubarb also seemed to hear Jiang Ao's hostility, and shouted at Jiang Ao, "Rhubarb, brother, he doesn't know your good, let's not be like him!" ”

Jiang Ao was completely defeated by the person and dog in front of him, and he just kindly reminded Tang Yuan, hoping that she would pay attention to prevention, but she showed that she seemed to be robbing her favorite sad gaze. And the dog was even more weird, he actually breathed out of the same nostril with Tang Xiyuan. All right! Let you go! As long as you're happy!

Jiang Ao saw a person and a dog running home while making trouble in front. And Hee Won felt like she was going to fly with Rhubarb. In a blink of an eye, I arrived at my yard, Xiyuan saw my father cleaning up small fish by the yard, Xiyuan stepped forward to take a look, oh! Good guys, what a big bucket of green-backed crucian carp! "Dad, why are there so many fish?" When the little father heard the voice, he looked up and saw that it was Xiyuan, so he smiled and said, "Isn't this what you let you raise in the paddy field?" When you come back today, I'll bring you a taste. ”

Only then did Xi Yuan remember that this was the way she used to think about getting rich! Mom and Dad didn't follow the path they had thought, but Dad and Aunt listened. My father is now planting the land of Xiyuan's family and his family together in the countryside, and has also cultivated paddy fields. This is the crucian carp raised in the paddy field, it is not big, but it looks so fresh. Xiyuan asked, "Did you sell it, Dad?" "No, your dad said that after you taste it first, the fish is not big enough now, and you can sell it when it is bigger." The little aunt came out with a big belly.

"Auntie, my brother is okay in your belly." "You're a little naughty and you know it's your brother!" The little aunt said this about Xiyuan, but the smile on her face reflected her thoughts. She wants to give birth to a boy, although the phenomenon of patriarchy in rural areas is not very strict now, but the aunt still cares about what she gives birth to her first child, if she gives birth to a boy, then she can have a second child or not, if she gives birth to a girl, she will definitely bring one. This is what Grandpa asks of everyone.

While talking, Xiyuan's parents and they all arrived, "Grandma, grandma." Xiyuan opened her voice and shouted into the house, only to see a short old rural lady walking out of the door. Coming, coming, you're loud. Grandma came to Xiyuan's side with a smile and pointed her hand at Xiyuan's forehead. Xiyuan took the opportunity to hug her grandmother's hand and asked, "Grandma, do you think I have it?" "I don't want you to be a little conscienceless! Didn't come back to see us for so long. As he spoke, he opened the corner of his eyes with the corner of his apron, and Xiyuan knew that it was her grandmother crying. Just when Hee Won wanted to tease her grandmother.

Jiang Ao spoke: "Grandma Tang, do you remember me?" Grandma was really attracted by this voice, looked at it carefully and said, "Isn't this the Jiang family kid who used to follow Yuanmei before?" "It's me, Grandma." Jiang Ao pulled away his big smile, as if it was a great thing for him to be recognized. But Xiyuan quit, "Grandma, when did he come after me?" "Didn't you?" "Nope!" "Yes!" Both replied at the same time.

Xiyuan glared at Jiang Ao, wanting him to change his words. But Jiang Ao didn't seem to see it. Grandma Tang looked at Xiyuan, who was glaring at her eyes because of anger, so she had to round the field and say, "Okay, go into the kitchen." ”

"Grandma, what are you going to eat today?" Jiang Ao immediately stood on the other side of Grandma Tang and made a greedy look. Grandma Tang looked at the giant boy next to her, (because grandma was too short) wearing a beautiful dress, and pulled herself like this, not thinking that she was dirty at all. So he said happily: "Fried small fish, fried Qingming cabbage, how about it, do you still want to eat?" "It looks like he will do as long as Jiang Ao says.

"As long as it's made by my grandmother, I like to eat everything." Jiang Ao's words coaxed his grandmother to bloom again. Grandma nodded vigorously. Turning his head, he ordered, "Sister Yuan, you go out to pick some Qingming dishes and come back." ”

"Okay." Hee Won replied and walked out. "I'll go too." Jiang Ao followed closely behind Xiyuan. Xiyuan took Jiang Ao to the mountain behind her house and began to pick Qingming vegetables. Jiang Ao didn't understand when he saw it, "Tangyuan, what are you picking some grass for?" "Fool, this is Qingming cuisine! It is a wild vegetable, which can be eaten to the eyes and does not grow long. Hee Yuan said that the knowledge she had gained from the adults did not confirm whether it was right or not, but the adults said so anyway. When Jiang Ao heard this, he hurriedly joined the ranks of picking vegetables.

Xiyuan looked at the cai cai in her hand and said, "Okay, enough, if there is more poop, it will have a bitter taste." "Oh!" Jiang Ao was taught again, thinking how can I know so much about my rice balls!

When Xiyuan and Jiang Ao returned home, they found that their aunt's family had also come. There were so many people in the house, it was really lively. "Auntie, did you bring anything delicious?" greeted Xiyuan. "You kid, did your mother make you hungry all day? When you see someone, you ask for food. Xiyuan's mother scolded when she heard Xiyuan's words. Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, Yuanmei and I asked like this, do you see her asking others like this? After the aunt finished speaking, she looked at Xiyuan. Hee-won nodded.

As the family talked, they made the final preparations for going to the grave. In the end, under the order of the grandfather, everyone picked up the things they were responsible for and walked towards the ancestral grave. When they arrived at the ancestral grave, the grandfather asked everyone to put the things away first, and then the family began to weed the ancestral grave, add new mud, hang edges, burn paper, etc. After doing this, it was time to place the tribute, and then the grandfather began to invite the ancestors to come to dinner. The family bowed to their ancestors, and the grandfather was again a string of "bless this, bless that" articles. In the end, it was the turn of his family to sit around and eat the Qingming meal.

After eating, the adults gathered around to chat, and the children went to fly kites under the guidance of Hee Yuan. It is said that after the kites are put in the blue sky, the strings are cut and the breeze sends them to the ends of the earth, so that the pain can be eliminated. Xiyuan taught several younger brothers and Jiang Ao. Jiang Ao followed Xiyuan to run on the top of the mountain, making trouble, laughing! I wish time was frozen at this moment. In this way, I can be by your side forever, Jiang Ao said to himself in his heart, my girl, you are so cute, how can I be willing to leave!
