Chapter 285: Sweep the Old Tang's Tomb

The sixth day of the first month of February is the day when the old Tang head burns for 100 days, Xue Qianxun has already said hello to the Shen family, so after breakfast, Xue Qianxun took her to Tangjia Village by Sanshun to drive a carriage, because the old Tang head was graved, Tang Tiezhu and his wife took the children back to Tangjia Village one day in advance.

Tang Qing'er stuck her head out of the carriage, spring was about to start, the cold wind was not so cold, brushing her cheeks, she could feel a little cool, she retracted her head and said with a light smile: "This feeling is so good." ”

Xue Qianxun said: "Are you suffocating in the mansion?" ”

Tang Qing'er smiled and shook her head: "I'm used to it from Xiaoye, and now it's really a bit boring to do these trivial things in the house every day." ”

"And what do you want?" Seeing Qing'er's expression, Xue Qianxun asked.

"Baby!" Tang Qing'er said what she thought in her heart, and Xue Qianxun was shocked when she heard it, and her eyes were dull.

Seeing this, Tang Qing'er hurriedly waved her hand and explained, "Just kidding,"

Xue Qianxun stared at her for a moment, looking at Tang Qing'er's hair, his eyes did not dare to look at him directly, and two hours later, the carriage drove to Tangjia Village.

At this time, there were very few pedestrians on the road in the field, until Sanshun drove the carriage into the path, and met a cowherd in the village, he saw the carriage coming, pulled the rope around the neck of the ox, and asked in a deep voice: "Uncle Tang from the town is here." ”

Tang Qing'er heard it in the carriage, raised the curtain, poked her head out and smiled: "Is Uncle Zhao herding cattle here?" ”

"Hey!" The man in his forties smiled with a wrinkled face, answered loudly, and looked at it: "Why did the green girl come back?" ”

Tang Qing'er smiled and said gently: "Burn it for my master for a hundred days." ”

The man suddenly realized, and shook his head while laughing: "Look at me, even Uncle Tang's death day has been forgotten." As he spoke, he pulled up the oxen and made way for them.

Tang Qing'er echoed twice, said goodbye to the man, Sanshun drove the carriage forward, just as Sun came out of the eldest brother's house, saw the carriage parked at the gate of the courtyard, waved his hand and smiled, "Is Qing'er here?" ”

Tang Qing'er answered in the car, the carriage stopped, Tang Qing'er lifted the curtain and said while getting out of the car: "Second aunt, is this going home?" ”

Sun said: "Well, I am cooking at home, I have already told your father and mother that I will go to my second aunt's house for dinner at noon, and after a while, everyone will go to the mountain to go to your grandfather's grave and come to my house for dinner." ”

As she was talking, Fei'er came out of the courtyard and called softly: "Eldest sister," looking at Xue Qianxun, after a while, she said crisply: "Brother-in-law." ”

Li came out of the house, and when he saw Qing'er and the others coming back at this time, he knew that it was for the purpose of going to the grave of his father-in-law, so he let them enter the house and said to Sun: "You go into the house quickly and pack up, and you will go to the mountain in a while." ”

"Okay," he said, taking Fei'er by the hand and going home.

Li Shi watched Xun'er pull her daughter into the house, her demeanor was kind, her eyes were soft, her heart was happy, and she smiled lightly: "Come into the house, we will go up the mountain in a while." ”

"Dad, second uncle," Tang Qing'er and Xue Qianxun called.

The two were discussing things, and when they heard their voices, they looked up and nodded softly.

When I arrived on the mountain, there were a few more new graves on the side of Old Man Tang's grave, and there was a pair of mother and daughter in the village who burned paper money there, and after burning the paper money, they sat in front of the grave, patting their thighs and crying loudly, Tang Qing'er was silent, even if Old Man Tang was kind to her, she would not cry like this.

Just when she was stunned, Tang Tiezhu and Tang Tiexiong had already placed the offerings, and on the paper ash stove made of blue bricks, they silently burned incense candles and paper money, and Tang Qinger had no choice but to squat down and burn paper money.

After a while, I saw Zhang coming over with several children and daughters-in-law, and Zhang snorted coldly: "It's really unfortunate." ”

Tang Tiefeng frowned at what his mother said, and said with a little embarrassment: "Big brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, you guys are here." ”

Tang Tiezhu nodded at him and said, "Today, our father will be 100 days old, and I will bring my family to come over to our father's grave." ”

Zhang said sarcastically: "If you hadn't done so many things, would the old man have gone so early?" ”

"Mother." Tang Tiefeng scolded.

Tang Tiequan just nodded lightly at the eldest brother and second brother, standing behind the Zhang family, and the rest of the people didn't greet Tang Tiezhu and them, he didn't pay attention to it at all, only patted the third brother on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, how are you doing?" ”

Tang Tiefeng said with a smile: "It's okay, it's about to start spring, I want to turn over the land at home again when I am free, last year there was a big drought and flood, after this winter, the soil in the field is hard." ”

"That's how it should be, after the land is renovated, the crops will also grow, and more grain can be harvested during the autumn harvest."

"That's what Big Brother said."

Zhang couldn't look past it, and snorted coldly: "This is not here to chatter, it's to go to your father's grave." ”

Tang Tiefeng smiled helplessly at the eldest brother, walked to Zhang's side, and said flatly: "Mother, let's burn paper!" ”

"Yes." Zhang glanced at Tang Tiezhu lightly, took out paper money from the basket and distributed it to the children and daughters-in-law behind him.

Tang Tiezhu and Zhang stood on both sides, each burning the paper they bought to honor the old Tang head.

When burning paper, everyone was not competing against each other, but silently burning paper money, until it was almost mid-noon, Tang Tiezhu straightened up, stood silently at Old Man Tang's grave for a while, and turned to Li and said, "Let's go back." Regardless of Zhang's face, he took his family down the mountain by himself.

When they arrived at home, everyone rested for a while, and the Li and Sun families were busy going in and out, and the thick white cooking smoke in the chimney rose straight up, and the smell of oil and meat spread far and wide.

Sun whispered to Li: "Qing'er and this Xun'er are really a good match, you see them standing together, like the golden boy and jade girl in Mr. Storyteller." ”

Li nodded with a smile and said, "It looks like there is a husband and wife." Hearing this, Sun laughed.

I haven't returned to the village for a long time, the depression in the courtyard is still obvious, the yard is barren everywhere, Tang Qing'er couldn't help but look stunned.

Xue Qianxun leaned against the door and smiled silently, hugged her from behind, and chuckled, "What do you want?" ”

Tang Qing'er shook her head slightly, thinking too much, patted the hand clasped on her waist, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, let's go into the house!" Let the father and mother see that it is not good. ”

Xue Qianxun smiled, "Okay." ”

The days slowly came to the beginning of March, busy with the big and small matters in the house, Tang Qing'er suddenly felt tired and hungry, her body was sore and painful, thinking about it, she ate a few bites casually at breakfast today, and drank a bowl of porridge, but it was from noon to now that the water and rice have not been stained, no wonder she is so tired.

After returning to the room, Tang Qing'er asked Zhu'er and them to find some snacks, and after a while, Zhu'er Lu'er opened the door softly with something and entered the house, Tang Qing'er sat on the recliner and closed her eyes to rest, and suddenly smelled the fragrance of food.

Looking at the fragrance, Zhu'er stood at the table and put a bamboo cage on the table, Tang Qing'er couldn't wait to open the bamboo cage lid, there were four small dishes neatly placed inside, at this time she was already very hungry, Tang Qing'er couldn't wait to take the chopsticks, grabbed a meatball with her hand and put it in her mouth.

It felt extremely hot when he ate it, so Zhu'er hurriedly stepped forward to take off the bamboo cage, put the four side dishes on the table, and Lu'er handed over the chopsticks: "Madam, there are chopsticks here, you eat slowly." She took the chopsticks in her hand, but after a few clicks, a plate of dishes had bottomed out, and Zhu'er brought out a bowl of soup and a plate of dumplings from the second bamboo cage.

Tang Qing'er put a dumpling into her mouth, and then remembered Zhu'er and them: "Where did this dumpling come from?" Zhu'er and Lu'er glanced at each other and smiled: "Madam, this is what the young master ordered Sanshun to bring to you from the restaurant." ”

"Oh." replied lightly, and then Tang Qing'er put the vegetables in her mouth with chopsticks in one hand, and scooped the soup with a spoon in the other hand, chewing the contents of her mouth vigorously before saying, "This meal is so fragrant today." ”

Zhu'er and Lu'er were frightened by Madame's eating, and Zhu'er whispered on the side: "Madam, you eat slowly, and drink the soup smoothly." ”

Tang Qing'er nodded, took a sip in response to what they said, until she swept everything into her stomach, she felt a lot more comfortable, and she was sleepy as soon as she was full, not to mention that she was tired for a day today, took the handkerchief that Zhu'er put next to her and wiped her hands and face, stood up and walked to the bed.

Zhu'er and Lu'er cleaned up the leftovers on the table, then turned around and went out.

When she walked to the bed, she saw Xue Qianxun pretending to sleep on the bed, although he was sleepy-eyed, but his lips were smiling, his clothes were neatly tied, and he woke up for a while, remembering his eating appearance, Tang Qing'er was a little embarrassed, she didn't know how she could eat so much today, she opened her mouth to explain, and suddenly remembered that she had eaten the dumplings he got back just now, so she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

Tang Qing'er's mind turned slightly, touched him and said, "Those meals, you ordered someone to prepare?" ”

Xue Qianxun opened his eyes slightly and nodded, Tang Qing'er reached out to take his hand, but he held it firmly, so he didn't say anything, just a shallow smile appeared on his lips.

Xue Qianxun sat up and couldn't help but reach out and hold her chin, and gently touched her lips, her lips still had the taste of Fang Cai's food, Tang Qing'er was already a little confused when she was full of food and drink, and she was kissed by him so affectionately, she didn't feel that she began to respond, her lips and tongues blended, and she felt extremely intoxicated.

After a long time, Tang Qing'er left Xue Qianxun's lips, and said with a slight wheezing: "Don't toss me anymore, I'm going to die?" ”

Xue Qianxun hugged her tightly, his lips covered again, Tang Qing'er's hand wrapped around his neck, the two continued to intertwine, after a while Xue Qianxun let her go, saw her eyes blurred, looked at the sky outside the window, and said with a sigh: "Alas! I'll have to be my father's study for a while. ”

Tang Qing'er wished that he would leave now and let himself get some sleep, but he still endured the fight with his eyelids, stood up straight and straightened his clothes for him.

Sanshun's voice was already heard outside: "Young master, the master has ordered someone to urge." ”

Xue Qianxun lowered his head and pressed it on her lips, and whispered: "You rest again, there are not many things today, I will try to come back early." So saying, he walked outside.

Tang Qing'er looked at his departing back, remembered what he had just said, and felt sweet in her heart, but it was better to take a nap first, otherwise where would she have the energy to take care of the things in the house.
