Chapter 097: Qingming Season (1)
Lanzhou ushered in an extremely warm Qingming Festival, full of flowers, flowers, and the sea breeze in Lanzhou is also much warmer than in previous years.
Lin Renzhong's courtyard has been extremely lively recently, Lin Wan'er handed over the silk business and the miscellaneous and trivial matters of the Half Moon Bookstore to the old five Lin Renzhong, Lin Renzhong After several years of tempering, the business is smooth, coupled with the help of Xia Cao, the silk business of the Lin family's courtyard has gradually broken away from the dependent situation and began to move towards the high-end market.
Half Moon Bookstore and Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen, who are far away in Huai'an Mansion, cooperate with each other and will continue to push north, and Lin Wan'er will be in the limelight. A good deed person said: "This is Lin Wan'er provoking Miss Chen Nuo in Shangjing, secretly satirizing that Miss Chen does not have a tome that can be handled, and can only verify some books." ”
The fourth Lin Hanlin seemed to be a different person, holding the Four Books and Five Classics that he had defined as "pedantic" all day long, and he didn't forget to read a few words silently when eating.
Dabao and Dazhuang's favorite thing to do every day is to lie on the door and watch the ants crawl around, day after day.
Baoyu and Yubao pestered the second brother Lin Chengping all day long to tell stories on the battlefield, and the two little guys were also noisy and learned a set of boxing techniques, which looked like and was full of posture.
Everyone is busy, except for Lin Wan'er, Zhao Feng and Winter Worm.
Lin Wan'er and Zhao Feng had a good relationship with Lin Chengping and his sister's birthdays, but unfortunately, it was a pity that they were not in harmony, and the two shook their heads and sighed for a long time.
Lin Wan'er said: "Zhao Feng, look at my brothers, which one do you like, just pick one." Lin Wan'er let her brothers pick and choose as if she was selling pork.
Zhao Feng thought about it, the third child was a little stupid, the fourth child was a little slippery, the fifth child had the smell of businessman's money, the sixth child was stupid, and it seemed that he still had something to do with Chen Xiaoxiao Miss Chen, the seventh and eighth were too young, and finally Zhao Feng sighed and said: "I just think Brother Ping is good, if I have to pick one, I will choose the fifth." ”
"No way!" It was not Lin Wan'er who spoke, but the winter insect standing behind her.
Lin Wan'er and Zhao Feng looked back at the winter insect at the same time, and the winter insect turned red to the base of their neck. Lin Wan'er's eyebrows raised, and the corners of Zhao Feng's mouth twitched, all without saying a word.
The winter worm wanted to quibble, but Lin Wan'er stretched out her hand to stop it, and said: "Explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth." Young people, inevitably, inevitably ......"
Winter Worm's face turned red with anger, and he said, "Everyone Lin, you bully people." With that, the man ran away without a trace.
Zhao Feng coughed twice, lowered his voice and said: "Eldest sister, Brother Qian'er is a good person, you think about it again, I will take the two of you on the birth of the eight characters, right, a pair made in heaven." Zhao Feng worked tirelessly to match Lin Wan'er and Zhao Gan, and talked endlessly.
"Oops!" Zhao Feng screamed miserably, and then said bitterly: "Eldest sister, what are you pinching me for?" ”
Lin Wan'er squinted her big eyes and said viciously: "Now it's pinching you, if you say it again, it's not just pinching you, it's slapping you." ”
Zhao Feng touched his arm and said with a snort: "Master Lin, you bully people." ”
The days passed very smoothly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Qingming Festival, the Lin family prepared the burning paper needed for the Qingming Festival, and Lin Chengping came back with Baoyu and Yubao to fold a lot of willow branches, and inserted them on the door frame, looking for a good omen of peace and security.
Qingming is still effective in the customs and habits of swimming, cockfighting, swinging, blanketing, and tug-of-war, but the Lin family does not have this habit, and only wants to go to the grave and worship the ancestors.
Lin Wan'er got up early, boiled a pot of eggs, and when everyone woke up, everyone gave an egg.
When the fire burned down her father's mother, Lin Wan'er had never seen it, but she felt kind in her heart, when her father's and mother's bones were buried in the ground, it was the most difficult time for the Lin family, and a family was in chaos. The brothers looked at Lin Wan'er together, Lin Wan'er slapped the table and said, "Let Daddy and Mother go into the soil first, and talk about other things later." ”
Lin Wan'er didn't dare to let the brothers see her father and mother who were burned to black charcoal, taking advantage of the dark night, Lin Wan'er found two mats, wrapped her father, and then buried her father and mother alone, there was no funeral, no ceremony, simple couldn't be simpler. By the time the brothers found out about this, their father and mother had already buried themselves in the ground, and all they saw were two graves.
The Lin family knelt in front of the grave, Lin Wan'er was in the front, the brothers followed, Zhao Feng and Da Zhuang stood in the distance and watched this place, Cordyceps sinensis took out some paper money, which was burned for Jane's family.
Lin Wan'er poured a glass of sake, sprinkled it gently, and said: "Daddy, the Qingming Festival is here, the second child is back, and the fifth child is no longer an apprentice in the oil store. The second child has made great progress, like a man, and is very famous in the Zhenbei Army. The third child is very hardworking, and Mr. Private School often praises the third child. The fourth child figured it out, there have been a lot of changes recently, I don't know each other anymore, I get up very early every day to read, and sometimes he gets up before I get up. The fifth child is also very powerful, thanks to the fifth child in the past few years, the family may not be able to survive today. I want to praise Dabao, Dabao has become more and more sensible and intelligent in recent years, and he never cries or makes trouble. Baoyu and Yubao are even more powerful, and they have recently learned to dress themselves. ”
Lin Wan'er said a lot, all of which were short trivial things in the parents, but they were all good and happy.
Lin Chengping was the second to speak, picked up a handful of soil with both hands and gently covered the grave, and said: "Daddy, the second child is not filial, and he only came back in five years, so you are worried." The eldest sister will take good care of everyone, you can rest assured. ”
Lin Qianyi: "Daddy, the third child has kowtowed to you." One qiē is thanks to the eldest sister. ”
Lin Hanlin: "Daddy, the fourth child knows that he is wrong. I will definitely work hard in the future and not embarrass my eldest sister. ”
Lin Renzhong: "Daddy, the fifth child misses you, and I often dream of you." In the past, the eldest sister took care of us, and in the future, we will take good care of the eldest sister and not let her be bullied a little. ”
Dabao looked at Lin Wan'er and said vaguely: "Eldest sister, good!" ”
Baoyu and Yubao knelt in front of the grave and said, "Daddy, the two of us will definitely be obedient in the future." The eldest sister often told us stories. ”
Lin Wan'er smiled and cleaned up the hay on the grave, ordered several brothers to fill the grave with some new soil, and then took Baoyu's little hand and came to an inconspicuous small grave in the distance, and said to Baoyu: "Kneel." ”
Baoyu knelt down obediently and asked, "Eldest sister, who lives here?" Why am I the only one who kneels every year? ”
Lin Wan'er squatted down, touched Baoyu's head, folded her hands and bowed to the grave, and said softly: "There is a fairy living inside, a very beautiful fairy. ”
