Chapter 15: The Tornado Festival

The chatting time passed quickly, and it was almost eleven o'clock in a blink of an eye, and Chen Xiaomei said: "I'll go to the market to buy some food." Standing up, the two drivers on the side also stood up, ready to go together.

"No, I will have a combination of Chinese and Western meals at noon today." Chen Weizheng said with a smile.

"A combination of Chinese and Western food?" The first person who was interested was Grandma Chen: "Tell me how to get it." ”

"I have something here, I guess you haven't eaten it in a long time." Chen Weizheng sold a pass.

"What?" Chen Xiaomei asked.

"Lettuce."

"Cut! That thing is often eaten. Chen Xiaomei was disappointed.

"I see." Old Man Chen interjected and said, "Wei Zheng, are you talking about lettuce in the garden?" ”

"yes!" Chen Weizheng replied, while saying proudly: "It is a pure green plant that is all hand-cultivated, fully ecological planting, and does not have any pesticides or chemical fertilizers." ”

"You can eat it raw!" Grandma Chen realized.

"Lettuce buns!" Chen Xiaomei is not stupid.

"Hit the lettuce bun! I haven't eaten it in years! Old Man Chen said yearningly.

"Old man, who dares to eat the lettuce sold in the market in the city!" The lady of the yellow driver said, "I'm going to pick lettuce." ”

"I'll go with you." Grandma Chen stood up, it was her territory.

"I'll make a pot of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, grandma, you can get some chopped green onions by the way." Chen Weizheng said.

"I'll help you." Chen Xiaomei said that after a short time, the cleanly washed lettuce was placed on a tray and placed on the table.

Set aside a plate of golden crumbs oven-baked in the oven.

Jinhua ham sliced, oven baked, spare, eggs, originally Chen Weizheng was going to spread it into a large piece and then cut it into small slices, but Chen Xiaomei fried ten poached eggs, saying that one by one is better, each person eats one, and the nutrition is balanced.

Finally, there is a sauce that the locals love to eat: yellow sauce.

Looking at this simple eating, the first person who couldn't help it was Liu Dehou, smacking his mouth, ignoring the image at all, reaching out and picking up a piece of lettuce, pouting the vegetable handle and putting it in the middle, putting a layer of bread crumbs, putting a piece of ham, and not forgetting to scoop a little yellow skin sauce and put it on, wrapping the lettuce leaves, stuffing them into his mouth, eliminating one in two bites, and satisfyingly said: "Delicious and delicious, the lettuce is fresh and tender but not crisp,"

Huang's lady also said: "These ingredients are sold in the city, but you can't find such good lettuce, and there are good lettuce in the countryside, but you can't find these ingredients." Weizheng, you are not only a combination of Chinese and Western, but also a combination of urban and rural areas. ”

Driver Huang's wife, surnamed Wei, is a teacher at a primary school in the city and a student of Mr. Chen, who was introduced to Driver Huang through Chen Xiaomei. At that time, Liu Dehou was still serving as the deputy county magistrate of Zuozhou, a neighboring county. In the past ten years, Liu Dehou has returned to the city from Zuozhou to Qingshan, and the Huang driver has also followed from Zuozhou to Qingshan and back to the city, she has been in the city, and the unit has not changed, and she is quite contented and does not seek progress. Because of her teaching level and grades, the city made her a school leader. The reason for her resignation was: "My husband is a driver, I am a teacher, and I just happened to be on the right board." If I were the principal and he was still the driver, it would be asymmetrical and would affect family harmony. So it's still as good as it is now, and the husband sings with the wife. This theory has become the yearning of men in Guyi City for a while.

After lunch, a group of people went to the cemetery, this season is not the season to add soil to the tomb, so everyone only took some incense candles and paper to sacrifice, did not prepare three animals, just took some fruits, sugar cakes.

Light candles and incense, put fruits, sugar cakes, a group of people began to fold gold and silver paper, Chen old man said: "This gold and silver paper is very particular, if not folded, burn down is loose paper, that is, small denomination banknotes, if folded is gold bars and silver ingots." Only this is the universal use of the underworld, and other denominations of more than 100 million imitation renminbi coins, according to psychic, the underworld is not universal. ”

After a while, he folded three piles of gold bars and silver ingots, one in front of his grandfather's tomb, one in front of his grandmother's tomb, and one in front of his father's Chen Baoguo's tomb.

Lighting the fire, the smoke rose, Liu Dehou stood in front of Chen Baoguo's tomb and prayed silently: "Brother Baoguo, it's another year, and I haven't come to help you burn pillar incense, I'm really sorry!" This time, when Wei Zheng comes back from graduation, I will help you watch him, and he will definitely have a good development. ”

Chen Weizheng looked at the three piles of incense in front of him, laughed loudly at his grandfather's tombstone and said, "Grandpa, aren't you always afraid that the incense will not be prosperous after death?" It's booming this time! ”

Everyone laughed!

Perhaps it was the Yin Spirit who also heard everyone's laughter and actively participated, and after the smoke of the three piles of incense rose, three small swirling air currents were formed in the air, like three thin tornadoes, rising very high and slowly fading.

Old Man Chen said to everyone: "Look, this is the best burning sacrifice. Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he continued: "There is such a tornado, which means that the ancestors have received the incense and candle paper, if not, it means that they have not received much or not at all, and what they have not received is burned." ”

Everyone looked at the very formed wind, and felt that this wind was really spiritual.

"Those of us who are not dead yet, let's have a drink with the dead!" After speaking, Grandpa Chen took out a bottle of wine and more than a dozen small paper cups from his arms, the wine was wine, and at a glance, he knew that it was from Chen Weizheng's wine shelf. The old man poured all the wine and said, "If there is one and the other, drink a glass of each." ”

The first one handed it to Xiao Diandian and said, "Diandian, you take the lead and say something nice." ”

Teacher Wei looked at her daughter, and was also looking forward to what her daughter would say, so she thought about it a little and said, "Drink my toast and bless me with 100 points in the next exam." ”

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Xiaozhu knew that it was her turn, so she automatically stepped forward and said, "Uncle, I haven't seen you, in my heart, you are my dearest!" Please drink this wine. ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes moistened.

Komatsu knew that he had to say that in such a very solemn scene, he was not allowed to have any new ideas, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I know that I did not do well in the past, and I swear in front of my uncle that I will definitely learn from my cousin in the future and do as well as my cousin." ”

Everyone's eyes looked directly at Chen Weizheng. Chen Weizheng was stunned on the spot, he didn't know what he had to learn from him.

The candles were extinguished, everyone checked that there were no sparks, and left the cemetery.

"Auntie, you and your grandparents go back first, and I'll go get something fresh for dinner." Chen Weizheng said.

"I'll go too." Liu Songzhao said.

"It's going to be a little tired, can you?" Chen Weizheng asked.

"Okay, I'm definitely faster than you, I'm 100 meters 11.7 seconds." Liu Songzhao is very proud, and it is estimated that this is a good result for him.

"I'll go too." It was Driver Huang who spoke, and he guessed that Chen Weizheng would go to get mountain goods, and he loved this when he was born in the army.

Huang's driver named Jackie Chan is also a big dragon, 36 years old, is a farmer's child in Zuozhou, served as a soldier for several years, returned to Zuozhou for employment, drove a car in the county government, and helped Liu Dehou drive until now more than ten years ago. To help the leader drive, you have to have eyes, ears and hearts. He has been driving with Liu Dehou for so many years, and he has never dared to act alone without the leader as he did today, in fact, he was afraid that the leader would worry, so he deliberately followed the leader's Xiao Yanei.

"You three go, let's go walk around the ruins." Chen Xiaomei is very good at arranging.

A string of firecrackers was set off, and everyone left.

The distant mountains are like daisies, and the near mountains are like dusk. The winter in the south is different from that in the north, the trees are still so green, the mountains are still so green, only the grass has become yellow, and the small shrubs have colorful leaves, one cluster of yellow and one cluster of red, decorating the low mountains to look extraordinarily exquisite.

Chen Village is located in the valley, walk straight from the cemetery, walk along the valley, you can reach the head of the village in ten minutes, if you walk along the foot of the mountain, you will go far away.

Chen Weizheng and his entourage walked along the foot of the mountain.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, Chen Weizheng took out an electric light cannon and handed it to Driver Huang, saying: "Divide the work, wait a minute, Uncle Huang will light the cannon first, throw it away, and blow up the yellow-haired chicken." I'll beat the fried yellow-haired chicken. Komatsu is optimistic about where the yellow-haired chicken falls, and you are responsible for inspecting it. ”

Driver Huang looked at Chen Weizheng and thought to himself that it was not difficult for me to blow up the yellow-haired chicken, but it was not easy to fight. I want to have a sand gun back then, the yellow-haired chicken weighs about a pound and a half, the meat is delicious pheasant basically hit to extinction, these years after the confiscation of the gun before there are some yellow-haired chickens, this kind of pheasant, although the flight distance is not far, but the speed is not slow, generally can only be used with a shotgun, with a single shot gun is not good, the basic reaction is not in time, the Olympic two-way skeet master is estimated to have a play.

The yellow driver thought while looking at the terrain, as a good hunter, he knew where the average yellow-haired chicken would hide. Turning a ridge, there was a bush on the side of the mountain. A lit electric cannon was thrown at the bushes.

With a "bang", two yellow-haired chickens came out in response.

Chen Weizheng had already held two small stones in his hands, and as soon as he raised his hand, the two small stones flew away like lightning, and the two yellow-haired chickens fell to the ground. Driver Huang looked at Chen Weizheng ghostly, these two stones, the speed, the accuracy of the head, and the strength of the head, have completely exceeded his cognition of throwing stones.

"Hit." The excited Liu Songzhao ran towards the two prey, and he really lived up to his name and sprinted not slowly.

Bringing back the two yellow-haired chickens, Liu Songzhao was so excited that he had never hunted in the mountains and fields, and he had not found food directly from nature.

"Cousin, your stone is really accurate!" Liu Songzhao said.

"It's not just accuracy, it's God." Huang Chenglong said: "I have never seen such a quasi-fast and ruthless flying stone technique, only Zhang Qing, who has read about the feather arrow in "Water Margin", has this kind of magic skill. ”

"Is that powerful?" Liu Songzhao really doesn't know the goods.

"That's pretty impressive." Huang Chenglong praised from the bottom of his heart: "Weizheng, on the premise that you have an accurate head, how far can you hit?" ”

"About fifty meters." Chen Weizheng didn't dare to go further. Knowing that Huang Chenglong wanted to see his flying stone skills, he casually picked up a piece of hard soil on the ground and aimed it at a small tree about forty meters away from the side of the mountain. An arc swept by, and the hard soil shattered against the trunk of the tree.

Liu Songzhao really saw Chen Weizheng's flying stone stunt this time, and was also stunned by Chen Weizheng's flying stone stunt. After a while, he asked, "Cousin, when did you learn this trick?" ”

"When I was a child, I loved to hit stones, and when I hit too much, it became like this." You can't tell the truth.

"Cousin, your trick is really powerful, if I know how to do this, anyone who dares to provoke me will give him a stone." Liu Songzhao started YY.

Huang Chenglong and Chen Weizheng on the side both smiled.
