Chapter 8: Xia He's Anomaly
Lao Ge went in February.
Always pay homage, let him bless those who are still alive to live a comfortable life in the coming year.
Lao Ge's grave is on the hill next to the village. There was a large wasteland, which was not fertile and did not produce much crops. Later, it was used as a cemetery by the villagers.
The rooster only crowed three times, and the old woman and Chen Suyun cleaned up themselves and went out of the house.
Incense, candles, paper money, have been prepared for a long time. Chen Suyun carried the basket and supported the old woman to prepare to go out.
"Mother, sister-in-law." Ge Wenzhi also got up early, "I also want to go see my father." ”
How could the old woman not be, Ge Wenzhi went with her.
The closer you are to the cemetery, the fewer people there are, and the desolation becomes.
Small mounds of dirt began to grow on the side of the road. It's just a mound of dirt, no tombstones or anything. Most of these people died young, and some of them were even more pitiful, who were conscripted out to fight by the imperial court and died outside, and they couldn't even collect their corpses. I had to make a clothed mound, and I don't know if the wandering spirits outside can find their way home, and if they can eat the incense given by their families.
The old woman squatted in front of the grave and burned paper money, chattering incessantly. It is nothing more than to bless his eldest son with a safe return and bless his younger son with good health.
Ge Wenzhi knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed three times, and his tears couldn't stop flowing. It seems that I miss my father.
Chen Suyun quietly stepped aside and burned the paper in front of a small dirt bag. Of course, I hope that Ge Yunzhi can come back safely, but if so, if he really can't come back. You can also receive money, so that you won't be hungry and cold as a ghost.
"Dad, my son is older. The son didn't want to stay at home and wait for someone to feed him. Ge Yunzhi said.
The old man in the grave bag didn't hear it clearly, but the old woman heard it clearly.
Ge Wenzhi took a deep breath and said to the old woman, "Mother, I want to go out and do things." ”
"Is someone gossiping in front of you? Isn't it Xia Hua's dead girl! The old woman breathed.
"It's not. Mother, I am a man, and I have to take care of this family. ”
"You're still young." The old woman spoke earnestly.
"It's not small. If my dad is here, he definitely doesn't want me to be raised more squeamish than a little girl! Ge Wenzhi said.
It is true that although Lao Ge spoils his youngest son, he will also spur him on.
When the old woman was about to object, she heard the sound of flapping her wings, followed by the crow crying.
As the old saying goes, a crow is the soul of the dead.
Lao Ge has appeared, and it is obvious that Lao Ge also agrees with his youngest son's statement.
"Let's talk about it when we get home." The old woman slapped the board.
"If you don't agree, I won't go back, I'll talk to my father."
The old woman wanted to be ruthless and leave Ge Wenzhi to go back. But she was worried about Ge Wenzhi's body.
"Okay, okay, I agree. Let's go home first. ”
"You can't go back. If you regret it, I can come and talk to my father. "We need to put an end to the variables of one qiē.
The old woman had no choice but to respond.
Along the way, the old woman was thinking about finding a more economical way to make a living for her younger son. Ouch, he's still young, and the more I think about it, the more I feel distressed.
Unexpectedly, Ge Wenzhi said that he would go to Bi's house to be a scholar.
What is a Scholar? O subordinate! What the subordinates do is the work of serving people, hey, how can Ge Yunzhi's small body bear it.
The old woman is firmly opposed.
"Mother, I'll try it first. If I'm too tired, I'll just go. I'm not going to joke with my body. Ge Wenzhi repeatedly assured that the old woman reluctantly agreed, but Ge Wenzhi was not allowed to sign the contract of sale.
………………
Bi Wenzhi is not easy here.
The Bi family is a big family, where can I recruit a country boy who doesn't know the roots to be a scholar who serves closely, isn't this nonsense.
The trick of crying, making trouble and hanging himself, Bi Wenzhi learned from the women in the family.
first cried and said that since he was a child, he has never been a master himself, so what is the use of being a master.
If you go to the eldest brother again, why are the people around the eldest brother chosen by themselves.
In the end, he is looking for death and life, and if he is not answered, he will go on a hunger strike!
The last move was hugely lethal, of course, for Bi Wenzhi's grandmother.
The grandmother put pressure on her daughter-in-law again.
Bi Wenzhi's mother only recognized it, Hengzhu was just a country boy, and she found someone to find out his bottom thoroughly, and the family also restrained him, so he couldn't help but be disobedient.
When the two teenagers met on the path as agreed, they both smiled brightly.
………………
Ge Wenzhi went to be a scholar of the Bi family.
In the eyes of others, this is a great blessing. It is said that people have a tael of silver a month. If you save a few years of wages, you can become a rich man.
The old woman was worried, and every day, she walked around the door: "Why hasn't Wenzhi come back yet?" ”
Xia He was annoyed by hearing this, so he replied to her: "Grandma, the little uncle has to wait until the end of the month to return." ”
The old woman didn't care, and continued to chatter.
The most helpless is Chunhua, because she is doing things in Bifu together, every night when she comes back, the old woman has to hold her hand and say for a long time.
The laundry room is a rough place for girls to stay in a far way from the young master's study, Chunhua didn't even have a chance to meet Ge Wenzhi, how could she know Ge Wenzhi's situation.
I had to make up some random words to send the old woman over.
Fortunately, the original laundry woman is coming back soon, and Chunhua no longer has to go to Bi's house to help, although she is reluctant to pay this generous salary, but it is good to not have to face the nagging of the old woman.
Xia He dresses up every day, which makes the old woman's eyes bad, if the old woman sees her and scolds her for being a demon.
I smeared saliva on my mouth, smeared osmanthus oil on my head, and picked a silver-plated hairpin in the style of peach blossoms, but my hair was not long enough, which looked a little strange. Even the nails were dyed red.
Not to mention, Xia He is dressed like this, and he looks two or three points better than before.
"What a lot of money!" Chen Suyun was a little dissatisfied, but the second daughter was so temperamental, she had to overturn the roof if she said a few words. Chen Suyun also turned a blind eye and followed her.
"Second sister, you have ......" Dongdong frowned, thinking about what to say in his head.
"It's fragrant." Xia He turned around a few times proudly, "I specially went to buy a jasmine-scented cream." ”
"Gross." Dongdong really couldn't hold back and threw up.
The balm smelled pretty good, but with the other scents that Xia He had applied on his body, the taste was a little disgusting.
Xia He's face turned blue with anger, and he returned to the room angrily.
Chunhua's face was not very good, she knew that Xia He was really like what she said before, and she wanted to pick up a rich young master.
