028 Qingming Worship
The second day is the Qingming Festival, although there is no need to set up a stall. Xia Chan still woke up early, lying on the kang and tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, worried about making noise to Xiao Dalang and Dabao. Lightly put on his clothes and got out of bed.
In the past, in modern times, it was like not waking up every day, but when I came here, I became a village woman. Even the work and rest have become local customs. Xia Cicada couldn't help but laugh at herself.
"Big sister, is the big sister up?"
As soon as he brought out the washbasin and was about to wash his face and make breakfast, the voice of Wang's sister-in-law sounded outside the door
"Hey, here we are"
Xia Chan opened the door and saw Wang's sister-in-law carrying a bundle of wormwood in one hand and a rice bag in the other. Seeing that Wang's sister-in-law handed it over, Xia Chan took it and looked at it, and there was glutinous rice in the bag
"This glutinous rice is quite expensive, you also bought it once, keep it for the children," Xia Chan pushed and didn't want it, and Wang's sister-in-law didn't take it.
"This is what my mother-in-law asked me to bring over, saying that our family has made a lot of money recently with your light. If you don't accept it, my mother-in-law will come and deliver it to you herself. Sister-in-law Wang smiled, remembered yesterday's incident, and asked
"You didn't suffer a loss in the old mansion yesterday, but last night I heard the child's father say that Xiao Jiaerlang actually made a move on you, how about it, did he hit you. This Xiao family is really not afraid of people's jokes, and a little uncle actually wants to beat his sister-in-law, which is not as good as a beast. Hmph, punishing him for kneeling in the ancestral hall is simply cheaper for him. ”
Xia Chan put the things into the kitchen, and took two more packs of dim sum that she brought back from the town yesterday for Sister-in-law Wang, "Hey, the Xiao family's old house has that fuel-efficient lamp, but I'm not the soft persimmon that is ravaged by others, don't worry, I won't let myself suffer"
Sister-in-law Wang thought that it was indeed as the eldest sister said, and the last few times the old mansion came to find trouble, it seemed that she had never succeeded, and her heart was relieved a lot for a while
"That's okay, big sister, I'm relieved that you're okay, I haven't been staying at home yesterday and haven't gone out, if it weren't for Dabao running to say I don't know, I was startled at the time, and then when the child's father came back and wanted to come and see, my mother-in-law was too late, afraid of disturbing your rest, no, take advantage of this time in the morning to come and see. Okay, you're busy, that sister-in-law of ours is coming back today, I have to go back and prepare."
In Xiaojia Village, during the Qingming Festival, all relatives have to go home to worship their ancestors, even the married daughter is no exception. Xia Chan closed the door and looked back at the main house, Da Lang's legs looked like this, and what happened last night happened, the old mansion would definitely not let Da Lang go back to worship his ancestors and go to the grave.
I wonder if he will be sad......
Breakfast is corn flour tortillas, millet porridge, and a bowl of old pickles, after eating, clean up the kitchen and come out, Xia Cicada plans to hoe the vegetable field in the yard, the little green vegetables are almost eaten, and then I plan to sprinkle the seeds again, the green vegetables sprout fast and grow quickly, and you can eat fresh green vegetables again in a few days.
Xia Cicada took a hoe and hoeed grass, and Dabao ran over from the house, "Second sister, brother-in-law called you"
Xia Chan didn't look up and said, "Did he say anything?" ”
Dabao shook his head "No"
Xia Chan hoeed a few more times, walked out of the vegetable field, put the hoe aside, and pulled Dabao back to the house, thinking that something had happened to Xiao Dalang, so he didn't wash his hands and quickly walked to the bed and asked
"What's wrong, does it hurt in your leg?"
Xiao Dalang smiled and shook his head, "It's not a daughter-in-law, my leg is fine." Glancing at Xia Cicada again, "Where did you put the sacrifice I asked you to buy the day before yesterday?" ”
Xia Chan was stunned for a moment, got up and walked to the cabinet on the side, took out the things and put them in front of Xiao Dalang, "Here, when I asked you the day before yesterday, you didn't tell me what I was for, now you can talk about it."
Xiao Dalang opened the bag and looked at the things inside, and then wrapped the bag and put it aside before taking Xia Chan's hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, it's not that I don't tell you, it's that even I don't know who the person buried there is, when I was a child, every year after our family went to the grave on the Qingming Festival, my father would take me to another place to worship, there was only one grave, no tombstone, and my father never told me who was buried there, only said, it was one of my relatives, Let me grow up in the future, no matter where I am, as long as this day comes, I will come back to worship. ”
Xia Chan was very puzzled when she heard this, but she didn't come up with a clue after thinking about it for a long time, and then she simply didn't want to. Since Xiao Dalang was going up the mountain to worship that nameless person, she thought that she couldn't just burn some paper money ingots and other things, and she still had to take some food or something. went to the kitchen to get some snacks and put them on, and asked Xiao Dalang if he wanted to take the wine, Xiao Dalang hesitated and thought that since he didn't know whether the people inside were men or women, he wouldn't take it.
Xia Chan left Dabao at home, and helped Xiao Dalang slowly walk up the mountain alone. It has been more than a month since crossing here, but such a leisurely time is very rare, because it is necessary to pay attention to Xiao Dalang's legs, they walk very slowly, Xiao Dalang is holding a specially polished wooden stick in his hand, and he supports most of the weight of his body to that side, so that Xia Chan's side is much easier. The summer cicadas walk leisurely, and from time to time you can also look at the surrounding scenery
The man's grave was on a mountain, and he went up the hill and walked through a bamboo forest. Xia Chan helped Xiao Dalang to kneel, and saw that there were withered grass all around the tomb, and felt that it was not good for him to stand aside and watch, so he took the initiative to clean up the grass around him
When she was done, Xiao Dalang also walked over to her after worshipping
"Are you alright?"
Xiao Dalang saw that Xia Cicada was sweating profusely, so he naturally took out a handkerchief from his pocket to help her wipe her sweat, Xia Chan recognized the handkerchief, which was the failure of her first time with a needle and thread, and she originally planned to throw it away, but Xiao Dalang refused to live or die, and since then she has been put on her body like a treasure.
Xia Chan now remembers the words that Xiao Dalang said when he had to ask for this veil, and he will blush and his heart beat. Today's Xiao Dalang took off a coarse cloth shirt and replaced it with an ink-colored robe, and his perfect posture set off his more and more tall and handsome. faded away from the original downfall and defeat, and today he looks vibrant.
Even Xia Cicada, who thought he had been immune all the way, couldn't stop being a nymphomaniac in his heart when he looked at him so closely at this time
"Daughter-in-law, why is your face so red. Isn't it sick?"
Xiao Dalang looked nervous, and he didn't care about the sweat stains on Xia Chan's face, so he directly touched her forehead with his hand, and then compared it with the temperature of his forehead, and wondered, "It's not hot, why is that daughter-in-law's face so red?" ”
Xiao Dalang's face was entangled, but Xia Chan came back to his senses at this time, and when he heard Xiao Dalang's words to himself, his face became more and more red.
Nima, what's going on, to a farmer nymphomaniac. She's enough!
Regardless of Xiao Dalang behind him, he turned around and walked the way he came, this mountain is in the westernmost part of Xiaojia Village, it is the largest mountain in Xiaojia Village, usually only some Orions will go to this mountain, so Xia Cicada is also the first time to come, because of the anger, and there is no need to support Xiao Dalang, a person naturally walks faster, and after a while she walked out of the bamboo forest, but, after leaving the bamboo forest, the more she walked forward, the more she felt that something was wrong, looking at the tall and thick trees in front of her, she didn't seem to have seen these trees when she came just now, and suddenly thought of something. A quick glance around knew she was on the wrong track.
