Chapter 191: Tombs
The group soon arrived at Yan Caiying's hometown, Chai Village.
Chai Village is not too big, but there are still dozens of residents who remain in the local area, the elderly and children can be seen everywhere, and there are young people who go home for the New Year interspersed among them, a lively scene of joy and harmony, and the atmosphere of the New Year suddenly comes to the face.
Yan Caiying drove the car directly into the courtyard in front of the three-story small building built by Grandpa Yan before his death.
Many neighbors who lived nearby when they heard the movement came over to check on the situation.
"Oh, isn't this a British boy!" An energetic old lady recognized Yan Caiying who had just gotten out of the car at a glance, and immediately slapped her thigh and shouted happily, "I thought that Old Man Yan was no longer here, and your family would definitely not come back for the New Year, but I didn't expect you to come back!" ”
Yan Caiying greeted the other party with a smile and said, "Grandma Zhang, you are still in such good health!" Anyway, I'm also a person who went out of Shibamura, and my roots are here. On such a big day as the Chinese New Year, why wouldn't I come back? ”
Fan Qiubai and Yan Shuiran had also gotten out of the car, and the two still had an impression of Grandma Zhang, and they also greeted each other with a smile.
I didn't expect the Yan family to be so polite, Grandma Zhang was so happy that the few remaining teeth were completely exposed, and she didn't care at all.
The news of Yan Caiying's family returning to their hometown for the New Year soon spread, and many villagers in the vicinity gathered over, and everyone got together, which was indescribably lively.
However, these people may not be the face of Yan Caiying, but more, I am afraid that it is still the face of Grandpa Yan.
The reputation that Grandpa Yan has accumulated over the past few decades is not comparable to everyone.
Although Yan Caiying hated his father's identity as a feng shui master, he had to admit that he could receive such a warm welcome in the village because of his father's Yu Yin.
Fan Qiubai took out the key and opened the door, took her daughter to clean up temporarily, moved a few benches out, set up a table, put candy melon seeds, and invited everyone to sit down and chat slowly.
Although they rarely come back in normal times. But these rural etiquette are imprinted in the bones of Yan Caiying and his wife, and they will never be neglected.
Yan Shuiran is not familiar with the people in her hometown, and she is not used to being stared at by everyone. So I just hid in the house and cleaned the room. Although this house is good, it has not been inhabited for more than half a year, and it has accumulated a lot of dust, and it is impossible to stay until it is cleaned up.
Fortunately, the water and electricity in my hometown are connected, and Yan Shuiran is now secretly practicing her strength. I don't feel tired of doing these chores.
The relatives in the hometown saw Yan Shuiran, a delicate young girl, took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves and began to fetch water and work, and there were stacks of praises, which made Yan Caiying, a father, smile from ear to ear.
The neighbors who were chatting at the door dispersed, and the house was almost cleaned up.
Fan Qiubai also specially took out the quilt in the cabinet and dried it to remove the dust.
After cleaning up, Yan Caiying immediately took his wife and daughter to the mountain to worship the grave.
Although Yan Shuiran's grandmother died early, Grandma Yan's tomb has been repaired all year round, so it looks very atmospheric and does not look dilapidated at all. Grandpa Yan was buried next to Grandma Yan, and it is said that this was also set by Grandpa Yan himself before his death. Even the position has been coiled with white coils, and every year it will be re-engraved, for fear that it will be confused by others, so that future generations will not be able to remember.
When Grandpa Yan was buried, the graves of the old couple were not only side by side according to the will left by Grandpa Yan, but also the tombstones were put together and were not separated.
In fact, if it weren't for the reluctance to touch his wife's grave, Grandpa Yan would have wanted to be buried in the same grave as his wife.
But since my wife has been dead for many years. There is no need for him to disturb his wife anymore, and her will be uneasy underground.
It's actually good to be able to be buried next to his wife.
Yan Shuiran, with Yan Caiying, who was in a complicated mood, knelt down to his grandparents, burned paper money, and lit incense wax, and subconsciously observed the feng shui of the two tombs in front of him.
After all, Grandpa Yan was also a feng shui master before his death. Yan Shuiran didn't believe that the location of the grave that he had so carefully portrayed year after year would be chosen by him at random.
Tomb science, in the metaphysics of feng shui, is also a professional science, which pays attention to the left green dragon and the right white tiger, the left is the king, the right is the minister, and the king is the minister. Therefore, the location of the cemetery will generally be higher on the left and lower on the right.
The distribution of the tombs of Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan. Exactly.
In addition, the feng shui of the cemetery also pays attention to the beauty of the mountain, the relationship with the case, and the gathering of the Ming Hall.
The place where the tomb of Grandpa Yan and his wife is located, the terrain is stable, there is no steep slope, and the soil slopes on both sides of the tomb are high, which can block the evil wind blowing next to it.
Not only that, not far from the tomb of Grandpa Yan and his wife, there is also a small stream, and the spring water on the mountain flows out of the mountain stream and will pass by the side, representing wealth and blessing.
Yan Shuiran looked at the feng shui of the tomb for the first time, although she didn't know if there was a better feng shui place around than here, but the place where Grandpa Yan and his wife were buried was obviously excellent, and it would also bring benefits to future generations and bless the Yan family!
And in Yan Shuiran's opinion, grandma's tomb is more right, while grandpa's tomb is a bit off, not as good as grandma. It's just that this little difference is generally not significant, even if a feng shui physiognomist sees it, at most it is just a sentence, and it will not be taken too much to heart.
This nuance does not have much impact on the descendants of the Yan family, but it will have a little impact on the people buried in the tomb.
The death of Grandma Yan back then was not only painful for Yan Caiying, but also for Grandpa Yan, who caused this consequence, to be even more painful.
His wife is gone, and his son doesn't forgive him, so he lives alone in his hometown, guarding himself day after day, isn't it a kind of sin?
And after his death, Grandpa Yan would rather open another grave on the side than disturb Grandma Yan's peace after death, I am afraid that it will also be his last atonement for Grandma Yan.
Yan Caiying cleaned up the weeds on her parents' graves, and then stood in front of her parents' graves for a long time.
Fan Qiubai and Yan Shuiran knew his heart knot, and they didn't bother him, waiting behind him silently.
Now that Grandpa Yan has also passed away, no matter how much grudges the father and son had before, they have long since disappeared. Yan Caiying has not taken much care of his old father in the past few years, and now that his old father is gone, no one can solve the sadness in his heart.
After a long while, Yan Caiying came back to his senses, sighed silently, and turned around and went down the mountain. (To be continued.) )
