Chapter 32: Ancestor Worship
"Don't bully my sister, you bad guy." Xixi grabbed Wenwen's clothes and pulled them back.
"Stinky boy, if your clothes are torn, I'll use you to change into new clothes." Let go of Qingli, Wenwen was scared with a straight face.
Wrinkled his little nose, he was not afraid of her, snorted and turned around and left.
"He..." Wenwen pointed to his awkward fingers and trembled, turned to look at Qinglixiao's shoulders trembling, and sat helplessly on the small stool.
Patting Wenwen on the shoulder, Qingli smiled and said, "Okay!" It's not a shame to be real with a child. ”
Of course you're not ashamed, it's your brother, just as unpleasant as you were when you were a kid. Pouting, Wenwen thought secretly in his heart.
Turning his head to look at Lili, "You have made a big move this year, planting fruit trees and running greenhouses." Spent a lot of money, right? Don't you regret not going to college? I remember your dream was to go to college and get out of here. ”
Hearing Wenwen's words, Qingli grabbed her hair, stared at the potted plants happily, and said after thinking about it, "Don't regret it, the situation at home doesn't allow me to go out, old and young, what will they do if I leave?" What about you, why aren't you going to go out? ”
Grabbing the weeds on the ground, Wenwen lowered his head, his expression couldn't be seen clearly, but his voice was very low, "I don't want to go out, the outside world is too complicated." I heard that Uncle Jian's strawberries were planted after listening to you? He turned his head and stared at Qingli with bright eyes.
Qingli was stunned, raised her eyebrows and looked at Wenwen, "I think there is money to be made by planting strawberries, and I also want to build Uncle They have the courage." ”
Wenwen nodded, with approval on his face, "Yes, I listened to my dad as soon as I came back, and he regretted dying." Every day, I ran to see Uncle Jian's shed, and when I came back, I sighed. ”
"Uncle Ping'an still has such a side? I really didn't see it, you go back and persuade him, don't worry, you can plant it next time. ”
Patting Qingli on the shoulder, Wenwen looked at her with the expression of our good buddies and said, "Then let's say it, when our family plants it, you have to help contact the seedlings and nutrient solution!" ”
"No problem, you don't have to go back to your mother to help, and you still have kung fu to hang out with me here? Tomorrow will be the 30th year of the new year. Thinking that the village was busy boiling oil pots and marinating things, Qingli was a little curious that Wenwen's mother would let her come out to chat.
Touching his nose, Wenwen smiled embarrassedly, and whispered, "I told my mother that you were going to teach me to make money today, and my mother agreed." ”
Qingli looked at Wen Wen dumbfounded, feeling that she must not have woken up, otherwise how could she hear such nonsense.
looked Wenwen up and down, gritted his teeth and said, "How did you come up with such a lie?" I... You..." Pointing to Wenwen, Qingli warned herself, hold back, this guy has thick skin, and he doesn't remember to eat.
Shrinking his shoulders, Wenwen slowly stepped back, waved his hand and said in a panic, "Then you teach me to grow strawberries to make money, anyway, I don't go out." Don't be angry, it's a big deal that I'll give you a small job in the future, the kind that doesn't need money. ”
Grabbing his hair and playing with it, Qingli looked at Wenwen and fell into deep thought, yes, now that Taobao has it, you can register an online store to sell meaty and agricultural and sideline products, just ask Wenwen to stare at the computer.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this idea was good, Qingli grinned, and looked at Wenwen with malice, "You said it yourself, don't regret it then, or I will beat you." The demonstrator's little fist shaken.
Seeing Qingli's fist, Wenwen swallowed his saliva and felt that his body hurt so much.
patted his flat chest and said loudly, "Words count, it's the puppy who regrets it, bastard." ”
Tsk~ It was originally an airport, and it was still shooting so hard.
Retracting her gaze, Qingli picked up the kettle and began to water the succulent ones that needed water, too lazy to take care of the female man's Wenwen.
"By the way, Lili is going to worship her ancestors tonight, are your things ready?"
Bang dang –
The kettle in his hand fell to the ground, Qingli turned his head with a click, his facial features were twisted and hideous, and he stared at Wenwen word by word and said, "Worship ancestors? Why didn't anyone tell me that I was worshipping my ancestors today? I thought it was tomorrow? ”
Seeing Qingli Tieqing's face, Wenwen was happy, and he was embarrassed, let you bully me when you were a child, you deserve it.
With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked to Qingli, patting her head with a smile on his face, "Child, it's today every year, who do you forget to blame?" ”
Patting his forehead, Qingli wailed, turned around and rushed out, turning back to Wen Wen while running, "I always thought it was the Chinese New Year's Eve, the time is remembered, and now it's too late to prepare, you help me bring Xi back." ”
"Alas, you..." Looking at Qingli who was running away, Wenwen lowered his head in frustration, walked to Xixi's side and patted him on the shoulder, "Your sister asked me to take you back." ”
He smiled obediently, "Okay." ”
Wenwen held Xi Xi in one hand and a basket in the other, and the two walked slowly like a village.
Whew~Whew~
Standing at the door, Qingli held her knees and gasped for breath, so frightened that Lele ran over to help her, and asked anxiously, "Sister, why are you running in such a hurry?" What about you? ”
When the breathing was not so short, Qingli grabbed Lele's hand and said in a panic, "It's over, I forgot to prepare something to worship my ancestors." ”
"I thought I was ready!" Lele looked at her sister in surprise.
"Ready? I wasn't prepared. Because of the shock, Qingli's voice was much louder.
Pulling Qingli to the cabinet, Qingle took out the pig's head inside, "Look, grandpa prepared it!" Pig's head, fruit and worship incense, grandpa is ready! Lele looked at her sister speechlessly, wondering how she couldn't see such a big pig's head here.
"Hehe~ I was busy frying things, and I didn't pay attention. It's good to be ready, it scares me to death. Patting his chest, Qingli let out a long breath.
Looking at her sister who had a bad memory, Lele didn't know what to say, so she shook her head and walked out.
After eating, the ancestors and grandchildren took the things needed to worship the ancestors and walked towards the ancestral hall leisurely, and saw the ancestral hall brightly lit and the figures swaying from a distance.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, the voices of villagers greeting him sounded one after another.
"Uncle, you're here!"
"Lili, this way, this way."
"Hey, let's go play."
“・・・”
The people in the courtyard were in groups, chatting, smoking, and playing games around them, and there was a lot of laughter, and everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces, which was very lively.
With the arrival of the village chief, everyone automatically lined up and waited for the village chief to open the door of the room where the ancestral tablet was opened.
I saw a neat line in the courtyard, the old man standing in the front row, the middle-aged man in the middle, the young man behind the hall, and the little children and girls waiting outside.
Crunch~
The heavy rusty iron door was opened, and a cold cold air rushed to her face, Qingli curiously stood on tiptoe to take a look, and was pulled by Wenwen.
"Don't look, it's eerie inside, it's terrifying, it's all tablets, there are hundreds."
"Ah, there are so many, I don't think there are many families in the village chief?" Qingli opened her mouth wide, she couldn't imagine that there were so many tablets in the small lotus village.
Wenwen rolled his eyes and looked at Qingli speechlessly, "Our Su family is a big surname, and you fled here during the war, and you don't even look at the family tree?" ”
Looking at Wenwen's disdainful eyes, Qingli was also very irritable, and muttered in her heart: I am not the original owner, who knows this?
opened his mouth and said in a cool voice, "I'll go back and look through it, do you feel cold?" Touching her hands, Qingli suddenly felt so cold.
Wen Wen made a look, Qingli turned his head suspiciously, and saw that in the room where the tablet was placed, all the white candles were lit, and the flickering candles were swaying in the wind, reflecting the faces of the kneeling people, lifeless.
The whole environment is like a scene from a horror movie, and it scares the spirits.
Shivered, Qingli picked up Xixi with a white face and ran away, and his voice drifted into the night sky with the sound of the wind, "Wenwen, I'll take Xixi back first, you wait and talk to my grandfather." ”
"Ahh
