Chapter 255: Year Pass II
Usually after the New Year, on the first day of the new year, each family will go to the grave of their ancestors, and Liu Zhu asked people to repair the grave of his mother two years early.
I asked someone to erect a monument again, and replanted evergreen trees, and if I am not afraid of taboos, this new tomb is the most magnificent one in the village. The old people in the village are not less red-eyed?
The old people believe in ghosts and gods, and they all think that this tomb can rest quietly underground. An old man also pulled Daddy Liu and said, "Look, your wife's grave is now magnificently repaired, and when you return to the mountain in a hundred years, maybe it will be better to repair?"
You have given birth to a good son, even if it is not your family, it is your seed in the end! When you get old, you're the most blessed of our brothers! ”
Daddy Liu is bitter in his heart, why Liu Zhu repaired his mother's grave knows best, Liu Zhuniang died early, and he was not willing to spend money, so he only took a roll of straw mats and buried it, and he didn't even set up a monument, just to save money and marry a steproom.
As a result, when Liu Zhu repaired the tomb, he found out that for some reason, the tomb he sacrificed every year was just a small dirt slope, not his mother's grave at all. When Liu Zhu came to question himself, Father Liu followed him to the cemetery and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't find out where Liu Zhuniang was buried.
Liu Zhu had no choice but to pick up a few handfuls of soil nearby, and then put the soil in a good coffin and made a fake grave. But this is enough to feel distressed, and it is a waste to sleep with such a good coffin.
But Daddy Liu didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction, not to mention that Liu Zhu is not his son in name now, just saying that he couldn't even tell where his mother was buried, it was enough for Liu Zhu to hate himself. Liu Zhu doesn't know how filial his mother is, but he knows it well.
Because of the strictness of Wan's management, when it is the Qingming Festival in the middle of July, he will directly ignore the matter of Liu Zhuniang, and will not mention the matter of burning paper money in front of Liu Zhuniang's grave.
Liu Zhu was only seven or eight years old at that time. Although he didn't say anything at the time, he didn't dare to say anything, otherwise Wan would have to beat him.
But later, they will come to the grave, or other places where they go to the grave to burn paper money for their relatives, and ask for one from others, and the family will ask for a little bit of it. and then burned it for Liu Zhuniang in person, and he only found out by accident back then.
Although he felt sorry for Liu Zhu, he could only think that Wan Shi could only be regarded as not seeing it. Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that people often say that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather! To be honest, Daddy Liu is still very sorry that he can't find Liu Zhuniang's grave, but it's just that he can't go, and now let Daddy Liu remember Liu Zhuniang's appearance, I'm afraid it's a blur!
How can a living person make way for the dead, Daddy Liu is in line with the principle of continuing the current life and living a good life with Wan's family, and in most cases, everything goes according to Wan's.
Liu Zhu took his family to his mother's grave early, and this year, Liu Zhu, as in previous years, bought a large basket of paper money. Then slowly and carefully burned, there were gold ingots, silver stator, and silver tickets or something.
Liu Yue felt that the person who made the gold ingots was too amazing, because he didn't enjoy it before he was alive, and he would definitely have to enjoy it when he died. Now my father thinks the same way, and wants to burn more silver for grandma, so that grandma can live a good life and have a maid to serve!
So Liu Yue understands very well why her father burns a large basket of gold ingots every year, maybe this is because her father is doing his filial piety! can only use this way, Liu Yue helped her father burn paper money, and Zhang put the fruit and meat buns brought from home on the table. The family is very serious and sincere to pay tribute to this grandmother who died early.
Usually Liu Zhu's family is the last in the village to finish the memorial, because Liu Zhu always has to sit by the grave for a while, and Liu Yue will naturally accompany him.
Everyone in the village knows that Liu Zhu is a good and filial child, it is a pity that Liu Zhuniang died back then, if he is alive, he should be more happy! Look at this big family, all of them are promising, and they are so filial to the old man.
Because the cemeteries in the village are all together, it is natural to walk a way back, and the people in the village naturally have to talk about it on the way. The owner pulls the West family, and when it comes to Liu Zhuniang, she is blessed, and she can receive so many paper ingots every year, isn't it a blessing?
There are also big apples for supply, and in the end, it is cheaper for the children in the village. Many babies will take away the good things offered in front of other people's graves, as long as they don't let people see them, the people in the village won't say anything.
Wan also saw the big basket of paper money, and his heart was unfair, he didn't have this blessing after a hundred years. The two sons are not enthusiastic about themselves now, the Huang family and Ben don't have much to do with themselves, and even Liu Mei, who is back to her hometown to visit relatives, doesn't like to come to her house very much, and at most send some food over.
Always say that he is eccentric, and he is used to bullying his own mother by Ma's, Wan's is wronged, but he didn't expect his two sons to be old, even if they are not affectionate, they still complain about themselves, which is really wronged!
Along the way, Wan Shi got angry when he thought about it, and he was aggrieved when he thought about it, but why should he scold himself in front of the people in the village?
Liu Zhu's family was not in their own branch, so they still let Daddy Liu drive him out, and everyone in the village witnessed it. Liu Zhu gave something to Father Liu is filial piety and affection, but it is reasonable not to give it.
Wan Shi returned to his house angrily, and as soon as he got home, he lay on the bed, and Daddy Liu knew why Wan was angry. But isn't this all Wan's tossing into what it is today? Thinking that tomorrow the youngest daughter will go back to her parents' house, the family has to prepare fish and meat.
Daddy Liu had to persuade Wan's: "Don't be angry, when the ** girl comes back, I can't give you back the scene!"
Wait for you for a hundred years, the girl will definitely be filial to you, the two rooms are more energetic, we can't take care of it, let them go, anyway, life has to live. What about the monthly money of five taels of silver in the third room?
Don't worry about eating and drinking, the second room family is willing to work, and there is no shortage of food and drink, and Liu Mei can make up for it. Isn't Liu Mei's mother-in-law treating Liu Meimei a lot now? In this way, our family is not much better than other families in the village! ”
Wan Shi let Daddy Liu persuade him like this, and he felt much more comfortable, why should he fight with a dead man. Besides, this person is dead, and no matter how much paper money is burned, she won't be able to eat or drink.
For such a large meat bun, in the end it is not a beggar in the cheap village. Could it be that the dead ghost can eat it, he lives well, he can eat meat and drink, what is not as good as her?
But thinking of those two rooms, Wan's got angry again, and now he feels that Huang's is a good one, honest duty, if you don't mess with her, she won't mess with you.
On the contrary, Ma used to just talk and not do it, but now he points to Liu Mei's monthly money all day long, originally saying that he wanted to give some to himself, but in the end he didn't give himself a word. But when people talk about Liu Mei's ugly things, they can't bring it to themselves.
Now that many people in the village look down on their own family, Wan's heart is clear, and it is difficult for his grandsons to say that they are married. The good family dislikes their own bad reputation, and the two daughters-in-law of the poor family dislike the poor people for not marrying, and they don't talk about the daughter-in-law seriously.
Looking at the village, people of my own age have become grandmothers, and when I think about it, Wan's is not convinced, so I blame the two daughters-in-law for making their own opinions, and telling their grandsons the same things, and they don't let themselves touch their hands, but when they want to give out the money, they have to find their own money.
The last time my daughter wrote to her, she said that the concubine had given birth to a son, and now her mother-in-law is used to being a concubine all day long, and she doesn't take herself seriously at all. Liu Zhen was not less angry with the little concubine's room, and this matter was naturally blamed on Liu Mei, so let people take a break and do what they did.
finally climbed up to the prefect, but the prefect's wife was a tigress, and she couldn't see anyone at all when she locked Liu Mei in the backyard, and she didn't know whether she was dead or alive?
Mother-in-law Liu Zhen looks down on the style of the Liu family, and she also looks down on the style of the Liu family, and she teaches her daughter to be like this, what kind of good family can she be. Liu Zhen didn't let the little concubine stab him because of Liu Mei's matter, but he had nowhere to talk back.
And the uncle spoiled the concubine again, and he didn't go to Liu Zhen's house at all, and Liu Zhen became an empty shelf in the house. Although she was in charge of the affairs of the house, she couldn't get any money, but her mother-in-law had to agree to any money.
But the little concubine was playing new jewelry and eating bird's nest to make up for her body, and her mother-in-law didn't say a word, but Liu Zhen had some silver, but her mother-in-law was like a thief.
is also called poor every day, blame Liu Zhen for not taking care of the house well, the place in the province is not provincial, Liu Zhen is angry, the concubine here is not playing jewelry in the day,
It's just that the bird's nest is raised, and I haven't eaten or drunk it, so it's hard to spend the silver on myself. Liu Zhen also became more and more aware that her mother-in-law just wanted to make things difficult for her, just to embarrass and block her.
Wan Shi thought of his daughter, who was in a lot of pain, and now she was being bullied all day long, and her heart hurt again. I had to lie on the bed and scold: "Which one of the people who killed a thousand knives didn't make the old lady feel better, and gave our Liu family trouble, and let the good granddaughter take a break, and make a concubine for the prefect."
The daughters-in-law of the two rooms quarrel endlessly all day long, and the grandchildren can't talk about good family affairs, this is not to force the old lady to death! ”
Daddy Liu had to quit the house, and if he listened to it again, Daddy Liu should have a headache again, Wan's has been scolding the heavens and the earth at every turn in the past few years, this is the first day of the new year, so Wan's scolded like this.
Daddy Liu was really upset, he was rarely angry, and he didn't care about the affairs of the family, so he closed the courtyard door and went back to the side room to sleep. This is also the first time that Daddy Liu and Wan's have been married for the first time in the past few years, and the first time they have gone to sleep in the side room.
When Huang and Ma brought their sons to dinner, they found that there was nothing to eat in the house. The old woman actually lost her temper and struck, and Ma immediately stretched her face and went into the house.
Although the Huang family and the Ma family are not in harmony, but after all these years with the Ma family, they found the benefits, they used to be honest and obey their mother-in-law in everything, not only did they not fall into the benefits, but they were angry and thankless everywhere.
Now after getting into trouble with Ma's, his courage has been magnified, and he doesn't take his mother-in-law in his eyes like Ma's, only to find that his mother-in-law, who used to look strict, is actually a soft persimmon.
If you are honest, she will bully you, and if you cross her, she will be soft, and now the Huang family, like the Ma family, comes to her mother-in-law to eat, no matter what she does, she has to complain about her mother-in-law from time to time.
Every time she makes Wan's angry, she can't do it, but when she comes to Wan's again, she still has to cook, and she has to cook for her grandson and son! RS
