Chapter 304: Ancestral Mansion
In the past few days of the Spring Festival, there are many people who come to worship God, it is simply overcrowded, and there are people everywhere in the pontoon flood control, of course, there are many people Su Can has seen on the street a few times, after all, the small city is so big, and many people have had a relationship, so Su Can and his family lined up to go up the mountain while greeting people lively. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The mountain of Jieshan Temple is actually not high, but it is better because the mountains are undulating into a piece, and the top of the mountain is flat and suitable for buildings to pile up, so there is also a temple of Jieshan Temple.
Su Can and his family walked to the top of the mountain, saw Du Fu Pavilion and Du Fu statue, Su Can knew that there was indeed Du Fu's tomb in Chiayi, it is said that Fan Zhongyan, who was worried about the world, had a comparison of Du Fu, and was buried in Chiayi Bridge Township, a small city in Pinghai, in his later years, of course, whether this is a legend or a true thing, there is no way to verify, after all, there are as many as eight tombs in Du Fu in the country, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Listening to Su Chengye, the county government originally planned to build the Jieshan Temple and the pontoon bridge flood control into the 'Huaifu Scenic Area', but because of insufficient funds or other reasons, it was unfinished and became a half-pulled project, which is also a pity, Pinghai County has no cultural celebrity memorial site, the only one is Marshal Peng's uprising memorial, the government at that time did not pay too much attention to cultural celebrities, unlike later generations of regions are vying for cultural celebrities.
Su Can's family ran over to see the pavilion, it was in tatters, and there was no sign of management around, but there were still quite a lot of people watching, most of them reading Du Fu's poems.
Su Can and a bunch of people came down from another road, entered the hall of a temple, where the temples rise and fall one after another, full of smoke, there are Shanji Temple, Xianshan Temple, Guanyin Temple, Guanyin Temple, Thousand Hands Rulai Temple, Chenghuang Temple, Daxiong Treasure Hall and other building complexes, which can be said to be the religious base of Buddhism.
When Su Can stood in the place where the incense burner was lit in the Xianshan temple and looked at the mottled shade, he could see the ruins of the pagoda not far away, which was artificially destroyed in the ten-year movement, and they are all very precious intangible cultural heritage.
Lin Anqin and Xie Shuangxiang went to the Guanyin Temple to worship the gods, and what made Su Can cry and laugh was that when Lin Anqin was worshipping the gods, he actually had words in his mouth, bless my family Su Can to marry a better wife in a few years, give birth to a big fat doll and so on.
Su Can thought to himself what is this, his body at the moment is only sixteen years old, of course, he is now seventeen years old, but even so, it is too early to talk about getting married and having children.
Wang Xuewei and the others teased Su Can on the side, giggling.
Among them, Old Man Xia was the worst, the wrinkles on his face were wrinkled together with a smile, and he teased Su Can, "Su boy, your mother is in a hurry to hold her grandson, why aren't you in a hurry, the two little girls I saw last time are very good-looking, which one do you marry?" Or do you want to marry both, I think it's okay, both girls are very good-looking. ”
It was the last time I bought New Year's goods, although Cheng Keshu and Su Xiaoxiao did not come into the community, they both showed up at the door of the security room, just at that time, the old man Xia went to the security room and saw it, but he didn't make a noise, but took a closer look, how old man Xia is, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration, at a glance, it can be seen that Su Can and the two little girls have a close relationship, so they have the bottom in their hearts, and this is the topic of ridiculing Su Can.
Su Can squinted his eyes, and when he saw Su Chengye and his three brothers going to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, he retorted and replied: "You are an old man who is disrespectful, I think you should not worry about my affairs first, after all, I am still young, your son is in his thirties and is about to run to four, and he has not found a girl's house yet, I don't think you are in a hurry." ”
Xia Mingchen has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is tall, and is the head of the army, it can be said that he is very popular, and the old man Xia also has the information of many girls, every time Xia Mingchen comes back from vacation, he is basically forced by the old man Xia to go on a blind date, but Xia Mingchen is too polite to the girl, polite, and kind, what the girls like is this kind of martial arts who can protect the family and defend the country, and the person who can dance and make ink, but he left a contact number, and he came and wen, and Xia Mingchen rarely contacted, So the girls were gradually disappointed, so angry that Old Man Xia was born with one Buddha and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
How could Old Man Xia not be in a hurry? This is a major event for the succession of the ancestors, but Xia Mingchen is always a slow man, as the so-called emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry, although this is a bit vulgar, but after all, this is the reason, the old man Xia is anxious, anxious to see through, and he has long wanted to look forward to Xia Mingchen bringing a girl back.
Now that Su Can has poked Old Man Xia's sore foot, he is naturally embarrassed to blush, who told his son not to be angry, you look at Su Chengye, his sons are sixteen or seventeen years old, and then look at his own son, alas, hatred of iron is not steel.
Xie Ningtian and Xiao Fang came down from the City God Temple, they were begging for a sign, Xiao Fang asked for a sign of course happiness and peace, those blind fortune tellers or 'half-immortals' who pretended to be blind, for the money in Xiao Fang's pocket, naturally tried their best to fool Xiao Fang to make her happy, or to scare her twice, throw some money into it is considered to give the gods fragrant oil money, and add more comfort to their hearts.
Su Can saw Xie Ningtian's face full of joy, so he jokingly asked, "What did you ask for?" ”
Xie Ningtian saw the elder brother asking her, her neck shrunk, and she hurriedly put the signed charm she had obtained into her pants pocket, and then patted her chest with a slight shrug, shook her ponytail lightly, snorted lightly, and said, "I won't tell you." ”
Su Can's face was full of depression, yes, this little girl also has something on her mind, it seems that her brother is useless, but Su Can can see that this little girl is asking for a marriage sign, or a sign, and she knows what she is thinking with her head.
By the time Su Can and his family finished worshipping God, the time had reached more than ten o'clock, Lin Anqin and Xie Shuangxiang were full of them, and the basket they were carrying was filled with a lot of god-worshipping fruits and tea, like Su Can, their empty hands caused Lin Anqin and them to roll their eyes.
Back at home, more than a dozen members of the family got together and had a lively meal, Wang Xuewei and Xiaofang were inseparable, and they also helped Lin Anqin at Su Can's house.
When they rested until half past one in the afternoon, they all got up and prepared to go to their hometown to pay New Year's greetings, and at the same time, they were also preparing to send the two old people of the Su family back.
Old man Su They are old, they are always a little uncomfortable living in the county, after all, there is always some prosperity and hustle and bustle in the small city, and the countryside in the countryside is much cleaner, usually feed pigs, grow vegetables, raise geese, cut some fish and grass to feed fish, such a life is perfect for the elderly to care for the elderly.
Su Can likes that kind of pure and indisputable life, but the problem is that he has not yet reached old age, and he still has a lot of age to use, and when he grows up, he also has a family burden, both old and young, and it is still time to live in seclusion.
Of course, if there is that condition and opportunity, Su Can will not let it go, he must repair a house in his hometown, and then live the life of a fairy couple with Cheng Keshu.
Su Chengye called the two vans in the morning to drive over again, and the number of people who went to pay New Year's greetings this time plummeted a lot.
For example, like Wang Xuewei, they don't go, and Old Man Xia, who has no relatives and blood relationship with Su Can's family, so they don't have to go, and he belongs to the elders in their family, and he should wait at home for the younger generations to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, how can there be any reason for the elders to pay New Year's greetings to the younger generations.
Although Old Man Xia has only one son, he has several brothers and sisters, and the relatives of the Chinese are maintained by blood relations, and the family affection is either weak or deep, but it is always necessary to connect.
There is also a saying that the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the poor have no one in the downtown area, which shows the warmth and warmth of China's people for thousands of years.
Although Old Man Xia's family is not rich, the two old men usually live in a room of less than seventy or eighty square meters, with three bedrooms and one living room, but his son is an officer after all, so he is still a high-ranking family, so there are many juniors who come to his house to visit relatives.
Let's say that Su Can's family ordered a car, and the two cars set off towards their hometown together, starting from Guzhang Street in the direction of leaving the county, and walked for about two hours.
Although the weather did not snow, after all, the road was difficult to pass with snow, and it was originally only more than 40 minutes away for two hours.
In a village in the countryside, there is a rugged path leading to the other depths, the road is yellow mud, covered with snow that has not yet melted, the van can't drive in here, the driver drives the tires of the car even if the chains are tied, they are skidding in the mud puddle, and finally the driver can only look at the impassable mountain road, shook his head and said to Su Chengye: "I really can't drive in, I'll let you walk in here by yourself, and when you come back from the mountain, just call us again." ”
Su Chengye seemed to have to do this, and gave the driver a little tea money, after all, this was the New Year, and he had to accompany him to drive to send people away, even if the driver didn't say it, he was a little complaining in his heart, so Su Chengye stuffed some money to the two drivers.
Su Can's hometown is in the mountains, the peaks are extremely high and steep, and there is usually a path that leads to the mountains, but now the snow is closing the mountains, not to mention that the cars are not easy to pass, even if people want to go to the mountains, it is very difficult.
And now the question is, how to bring the two old people up the mountain is a very serious problem.
In the end, all the men of Su Can's family carefully helped the two old men up the mountain, and it took nearly two hours to finally see the house in their hometown.
It was a row of snow-covered rustic-style houses, stacked on top of each other, with the occasional red brick house or two, which was a novelty in the countryside, where camphor and birch trees and farmland were common.
Su Can and the others walked into the isolated village, and suddenly there was a sound of dogs barking, and then a few white dogs rushed over, grinning their teeth, Old Man Su immediately reprimanded a few times, and the few domestic dogs that were fierce and abnormal a second ago immediately shook their heads and tails, and crawled under the feet of Old Man Su and waged their tails.
Soon Su Can and they broke the tranquility of the small village, and people kept coming out of the houses in the rural way to look at the situation, generally speaking, the heavy snow closed the mountain, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, and few outsiders would choose to enter the mountain at this time, even those who went into the mountain to buy furs would not come again at this time, so the people in the village were a little confused.
Su Chengye's three brothers grew up here, although they later moved to the county, but they are very familiar with the environment and people here, like Su Chengye walked into a red brick house farmhouse, and soon talked with the owner inside, they were all playmates when they were children, but when they grew up, the Su family left the village, they lived here for generations, and life was closely related to the small village.
But Su Can knew that after 08 to 14 years, this small village, which was originally quite a lot and had three or four production teams, gradually moved out in the later days, and moved more and more, and in the end, this originally lively and prosperous small village almost became a place like a ghost ruin, because there were not many people living there.
This is because times are changing, and those adults can't bear to let their children who have not gone out of the mountains and come into contact with the outside world, just like them, so they have moved out of the county or town.
This has to be said to be a kind of sadness.
The three brothers Su Chengye, Su Fang, and Su Chengfang grew up here, so they have a kind of nostalgia for the environment here, which is the memory of the small village.
But the word nostalgia has another magic to some extent, nostalgia means growing up, it means that what has been lost is irretrievable.
The ancestral house of the Su family is on the top of the mountain, and there is a very peculiar name called Kuzhujian or Kutijian, which is the name of the Pinghai dialect, and the transliteration is a little awkward.
But whenever Su Can asked about the origin of the name Su Chengye, Su Chengye shook his head and smiled silently, and the second and third uncles also avoided talking about it.
The ancestral house is a one-story symmetrical southern type of blue brick and yellow mud wall house, the house is very wide, can live in three or four families, when Su Chengye's three brothers have not separated, even if Su Chengye is married, they all live with the brothers.
The yellow mud wall paint on the walls of the ancestral house is a little peeling off and mottled, the bitter bamboo is swaying under the small pond, and from time to time a little bit of snow falls, and the small pond has formed an ice layer, which can reflect the human figure, and the vegetable garden that has been opened up is more than a dozen square meters wide, and the Chinese cabbage in it is covered with snow.
This ancestral house is basically the same hue, white and expansive, and occasionally two birds come out to forage for food, stepping on the snowdrift, leaving small claw marks.
