The Spring Festival in the countryside is both busy and idle, and the busyness is because there are many customs unique to the countryside. From worshipping ancestors to eating, to visiting relatives and friends, there are specific habits, and someone naturally needs to accompany them when they come to the door, to cook rice, to prepare food, and small things have not been broken.

As for leisure, as long as you get things done, there are no other things to deal with, and everyone has a lot of time to do what they want to do.

Men get together to chat, drink, and play cards, while women will go to a certain house in groups to chat and gossip. With such a habit, it is not to blame that I always see the news about rural gambling, nor is it to blame the image of ordinary rural women as long-tongued women in the eyes of many people.

Or because it's boring, everyone doesn't have many things, and it's not like city people who need to go to work every day, even if they have an occasional break, they can go out and invite three or five friends to get together, go singing, eat, there are too many things. Even if it's an average otaku, having a computer is enough for them to play until the end of the vacation.

Everyone has something to do, and of course there is no time to talk to people about gossip or gossip.

Of course, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, even if Wang Ning was unwilling, he had to get up to worship his ancestors.

Unlike other places, ancestor worship is carried out on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there is no need to worship ancestors on the Qingming Festival. Moreover, there are also requirements when worshipping ancestors, only men are allowed to pass, and women are not allowed to follow.

Early in the morning, Wang Ning and Wang Xueqing got up and followed their uncle out to worship their grandfather.

Wang Ning is not from Chen Zhuang, so he doesn't need to worship other people, he just needs to worship his grandfather.

The early spring season was very cold, and there was a night of frost. The leaves of the wheat fields were covered with dew. After a round trip. His pants were all wet, and his feet were covered in mud.

In fact, Wang Ning didn't have a deep impression of his grandfather, he left Yueji City too early, and he didn't have much memory of Yueji City. I also came back once in a while to see my grandfather, which should be his only impression.

Thin, old, swarthy, just like my uncle. Grandpa doesn't talk much, he is an honest old man. But when Grandpa left, it was not easy, because of the torture of illness, Grandpa finally ended his life with a rope, leaving endless grief for future generations.

Even now, my uncle is still a little sad when he worships, and he feels a little sorry for his grandfather.

The end of grandpa's life is also the end of most rural old people, in the face of illness, those with better family backgrounds may be treated ruthlessly and struggle on the line of life and death. In the end, it may not be possible to save their lives despite all the efforts.

The family is a little poor, or the descendants are not very filial. A serious illness means that you are left to fend for yourself. Even if you go for treatment, it is only a short time, and you will soon be picked up by your family, and then die in pain or silently.

A similar situation cannot be avoided even now in 2016, where tragedies are being staged all the time in this rapidly rising land.

Wang Ning may not have much impression of his grandfather, and he doesn't know what kind of mood he felt when he faced death. But he always felt guilty about his grandfather, and when the old man died, he didn't come back.

Even if he comes back occasionally, he will basically go back after a few days, and he doesn't have the heart to sweep the old man's grave. Grandpa has passed away for more than ten years, and it seems that he is really worshipping the old man for the first time. Not to mention anything else, as a junior, I really don't do enough in this regard.

Not only grandpa, but also the grandparents who died, Wang Ning didn't worship much. When they died, Wang Ning and Wang Yun also did not come back, only Wang Xueqing came back with his parents to deal with the descendants of the two old men.

There may be disputes, there may be contradictions, and when the old man dies, all grievances will leave one after another. The people who are left behind, without the maintenance of their parents, the relationship is estranged day by day, and perhaps it has returned to its blandness.

After worshipping his grandfather, his uncle had to continue to worship other ancestors with others, and Wang Ning originally wanted to go back with Wang Xueqing and wait. After returning to the main road, Wang Xueqing suddenly stopped, turned around and faced north, which was his hometown and where he grew up.

"Xiao Ning, come with me to worship your grandparents!" When he said this, Wang Xueqing was full of melancholy.

Compared with grandpa's side, grandparents' side and Wang Ning's family have more things, grandparents also got sick and left, and they are all family diseases, from high blood clots to hemiplegia, a few years before they died, grandparents have been in the hospital and need the attention of others.

There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, and it is a truth to put it wherever it is. The grandparents had a very unpleasant quarrel with Wang Xueqing, and after they got sick, Wang Xueqing still paid for their treatment as soon as possible, and most of the money they earned was thrown into the hospital.

Helplessly, the grandparents are not only Wang Xueqing's son, Wang Xueqing also has an elder brother and three sisters, each of them is older than Wang Xueqing, and as a result, they blame each other and pass the buck when they pay for it.

It's very beautiful to say, when it comes to paying, he doesn't speak, and he doesn't want to pay at all. It is understandable that the married daughter does not pay money, after all, she is the one who marries, and Wang Xueqing's brother, that is, Uncle Wang Ning, is not willing to pay, anyway, he is pretending to be pitiful. Even if he made some money due to pressure, there was no way to compare it with the money Wang Xueqing took out.

Before the death of his grandparents, he spent seventy or eighty thousand yuan on medical expenses alone, and Wang Ning's family contributed more than half, and the rest of the money was paid by other brothers and sisters.

I have to say that that period of time was the most difficult time for Wang Ning's family. At that time, Wang Ning was in the third year of junior high school, and all kinds of tutoring materials were the time to ask for money. Coupled with the high price of Wang Ning and Wang Yun, the parents are under a lot of pressure every year.

Even now, Wang Ning still remembers that the tuition fees between himself and Wang Yun were paid by the last few payments, and the money was earned by his parents with great difficulty.

paid a lot, but the lives of the grandparents were still not saved, and within two years, the grandparents passed away one after another. Compared with the apology to his grandfather, Wang Ning didn't have too many thoughts about his grandparents, and he experienced the most difficult time, and also faced the quarrel between the so-called elders when they faced medical expenses.

Although no one said it explicitly, everyone knew very well that the departure of their grandparents had given them relief, and everyone had recovered from the original tension.

If the grandparents had not passed away, once Wang Ning and Wang Yun were promoted to high school and junior high school, their family's situation would have been even more difficult.

Although he thought so, Wang Ning would not say, looking at his melancholy father, he nodded slightly: "Okay!" (To be continued.) )
