On the evening of the early spring of 1905, it was warm and cold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shayu Village, which is quiet at the foot of Yan Mountain, suddenly heard the hoarse shouts of women, the sound became tighter and tighter, alarming the small mountain village that had been silent for a long time, and was outside the yard, the anxiously waiting husband Jin Guangzheng, heard the shouts of his daughter-in-law, and jumped up in a hurry, he was desperate, to rush into the house, just with the midwife who ran out in a hurry, collided, the midwife said to Jin Guangzheng:

"I said his uncle, don't rush in, you listen to me, I did my best, your daughter-in-law she just can't give birth, I just touched her belly, the child's head, is rushing, this is what people say dystocia, after half an hour, if you can't regenerate, I'm afraid the child will have to suffocate to death."

"And what are you doing here? Why don't you hurry up and think of a way? Let me tell you, midwife, no, midwife, this child is tied to the life of my old Jin family! If he makes a mistake, there is no hope for our family. ”

The midwife held her bloody hand, nodded blankly at Jin Guangzheng, who was about to go crazy, and she returned to the house.

At this time, the woman in the house was exhausted, and the midwife used her greatest strength to turn her hands on the woman's stomach, trying to turn the child's head to the lower body.

The midwife turned the woman's belly and shouted, 'Hard! Hard! The woman cooperated with the midwife's shouting and moved, but this movement, in the eyes of the midwife, was useless, and seeing that half an hour was about to pass, the midwife called the neighbor's aunt again, and she asked the neighbor's aunt to push down the child in the woman's belly with her hands, and he still turned the woman's belly vigorously.

At this time, the woman's lower body, discharged a lot of blood, the midwife understands, if the child can come out along the 'amniotic fluid', adults and children can be safe and sound, but after waiting for a while, I saw that the 'amniotic fluid' kept discharged, but the child did not come out, to the midwife anxious, sweat out, she was worried, if the child's head can not turn again, not only the child is in danger, the adult may also die, she shouted at the woman loudly:

"Don't forget, you are a mother, what you have in your belly is your child, if you don't want the child to die in it, hurry up and give me strength! Go big! ”

The woman who had been tossed in a coma opened her eyes when she heard the voice of the midwife, and to tell the truth, she couldn't see anything, her eyes were blurry, and she said that it was evil, there was no essential difference between the midwife in front of her and the Hades in hell, or people said, women giving birth to children were like going to Hades to walk around.

Fortunately, the woman could confirm one thing, that is, she was still alive, and she also knew that she must not let her child die in the womb, and she used all her strength, held her breath, and pressed down, and the midwife then shouted:

"Okay, the child has come down, you are the same as before, and you will continue to work hard! Go big! ”

The child's head was exposed a little bit in the woman's lower body, although the midwife kept shouting, hoping that the woman would fight again, but the woman didn't even have the strength to move a little, and the child's head was stuck in the middle, and it couldn't go up or down, and it was still dead after a long time.

At the critical moment, the midwife picked up a pair of scissors from her side, she burned it with oil fire, and then asked the neighbor's aunt to hold the woman hard, to tell the truth, at this time, you are giving the woman a knife, and as a result of her life, she will not have any resistance, it has reached the limit, and the aunt still held the woman down.

The midwife picked up the scissors, according to the woman's lower body that was stuck in the child's head, it was a scissors, this scissors, the woman hurt, although there was no big movement, but obviously felt, she was convulsed, taking this opportunity, the midwife put her hand, into the woman's lower body, dragged the child's head and got the child out, after the child came out, the neighbor's aunt cleaned the child with hot water, and the child began to cry.

The midwife used hot water and a clean white cloth to carefully clean the woman's lower body, and gave the woman a lot of foam-like hemostatic drugs, in this process, the woman has not moved, not because the woman is strong, but because she really has no strength.

In this process, Jin Guangzheng wanted to rush into the house several times to help his daughter-in-law, but the midwife stopped him from entering, and the midwife said that women give birth to children and men see bad luck, and they don't know, what she said is unlucky, whether it is for women or men, no matter what, anyway, the child is born.

When Jin Guangzheng heard the child's crying, he wanted to break into the house again, this time it was different from the previous times, he was full of hope, and wanted to see his child immediately, just right, bumped into the midwife and came out to report:

"Uncle, I just cleaned up the two of them, and you can enter the house this time."

"Then tell me quickly, is my daughter-in-law a son or a daughter?"

"I said you were stupid! Wouldn't it be clear if you went in and saw for yourself? ”

The old man Jin Guangzheng rushed into the house, when he saw that his daughter-in-law gave birth to a son to him, tears fell, he stroked his daughter-in-law with his hand, his face was full of sweat, and he was very distressed, if there was no neighbor's aunt present, he would definitely hug his daughter-in-law's face and kiss it, in order to thank the midwife for her hard work, he took out a handful of broken silver and handed it to the midwife.

At this time, the daughter-in-law opened her eyes, and the first thing she said was not to complain to her man about the pain of dystocia, but to urge the man to hurry up and report to his in-laws, telling them that his grandson was born, and Jin Guangzheng entrusted the neighbor's aunt to help take care of his daughter-in-law and son, and then took three steps and two steps to report to his parents.

Someone is going to ask, the daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, it should be a logical thing, not to let Jin Guangzheng, so confused, that's the case, the child just born is the third son born to Jin Guangzheng's daughter-in-law, the first two sons, the eldest is more than a year old, the second is less than three years old, all because of the frail and sick halfway to death, the death of the two children greatly hurt the vitality of the old Jin family, not only Jin Guangzheng, even Jin Guangzheng's old father, is also sincerely afraid all day long, they hope that a new life is coming, can continue the incense of the old Jin family, but I am worried that this child will follow in the footsteps of his brother and cut off the incense of the old Jin family.

Since Jin Guangzheng's daughter-in-law was pregnant with her third child, her mother-in-law has been serving all day long, and her daughter-in-law is generally not allowed to interfere in the work at home, for fear that the child will suffer a fall in the daughter-in-law's belly and be born not strong, which makes the daughter-in-law enjoy being served at the same time, but also have a great sense of guilt in her heart, so this time Jin Guangzheng's daughter-in-law is pregnant and gives birth, which is very different from pregnancy and childbirth in the general sense.

In the hearts of the Jin family, this is the birth of a son, and it is a major event for the mission of the entire Jin family and the continuation of the incense, despite all this, the newborn baby still doesn't know anything.

Jin Guangzheng was wearing a thin and revealing jacket that had already been washed, and on the path leading to his parents' house, he ran selflessly, he couldn't wait to step into his parents' house in one step, and tell his parents the good news of his son's birth as soon as possible, so that the old couple could be happy.

The stone slab road leading to his parents' house, there are so many families walking in the past, the stone slab in the middle has been stepped on smoothly and smooth, and the stone slab on both sides, because no one often walks, has long been covered by moss and grass, and the stone slab is almost invisible.

But today is different, he is happy, this joy don't panic and choose the road, he didn't pay attention to stepping on it, just stepped on the moss, his whole body, homeopathic fell, the jacket was also a small jujube tree on the side of the road, scraped open a long hole, Jin Guangzheng subconsciously looked around, saw no one, quickly climbed up, he didn't care about patting the dirt on his body, so he tore off the scraped jacket from the jujube tree, and then rushed to his parents' house.

Jin Guangzheng stumbled into his parents' house, and as soon as he stepped into the door, he shouted:

"Dad, Mom, you have a grandson again!"

When the old couple heard their son's shout, they hurried out of the house and let him in.

The mother scooped a scoop of cold water from the water tank and handed it to her son, Jin Guangzheng took the water, drank it with a little relief, and after relieving himself, he told his parents that his daughter-in-law had just given birth to her third son, and the two couldn't close their mouths when they heard it.

The mother took out the eggs and fresh millet that had been prepared for her daughter-in-law a long time ago, and she wanted to go home with her son and take care of her grandson and daughter-in-law in person.

Speaking of Jin Guangzheng's father, Mr. Jin, he is a capable person in Shayu Village, who can both write and calculate, because he has a culture and a good reputation, dozens of families in the village, who encounters a big or small affair, will ask Mr. Jin to help with ideas, but this person who can call the wind and rain in the eyes of outsiders has only encountered a disaster that Mr. Jin himself can't explain.

He watched his two grandsons, died early and returned to heaven without skills, which became the internal injury of the old man Jin, every time he thought about it, his heart was like being cut by a knife, coupled with his advanced age, he was always worried that he would not be able to wait for his grandson to be born, and he went to report to the Lord of Yama first, this is not ordinary despair, who knows, when the old man was desperate, he got the great news that his grandson was born again.

This good news is like giving Mr. Jin a stimulant, he suddenly feels that the blood in his body is smooth, his brain is much clearer, and his legs and feet are also sharp, he wants to put on a banquet to celebrate his grandson's birthday, and he wants the whole village to accompany him to be happy.

The night in the mountain village is so quiet that even the sound of leaves being blown off the ground by the wind can be heard really, at this time, Jin Guangzheng and his daughter-in-law are looking at the newly born son with rare good eyes, without a trace of sleep.

Jin Guangzheng's daughter-in-law, who had just walked around from the ghost gate, was obviously weak, and the knife wound on her lower body was painful, but God favored this woman and made her milk very full, and the little guy slept very sweetly after eating enough of her mother's milk.

Looking at the son in front of him, as a mother, Jin Guangzheng's daughter-in-law touched the scene, remembered her first two sons, a trace of sadness passed over her face, the change of her daughter-in-law, Jin Guangzheng saw it in her eyes, he enlightened her daughter-in-law, people in confinement can't think about sad things, it's not good for adults and children, listening to her husband's words, the daughter-in-law couldn't help but fall into her husband's arms, for the daughter-in-law, it is superfluous to say anything at this time, snuggle in her husband's arms, and feel the warm love from her husband's silent generosity works better than anything.

Jin Guangzheng is hugging his daughter-in-law, but also full of thoughts, over the years, there have been several changes in the family, not to mention that he is a mother, even his own man is difficult to accept, not to mention, his daughter-in-law has to face her in-laws, in the face of the discussion of neighbors, her pressure can be imagined, as the head of the family, she must cherish the woman in front of her, fulfill her duty as a husband, and can no longer let her daughter-in-law suffer the slightest grievance.

Thinking of this, Jin Guangzheng couldn't help but hug his daughter-in-law into the quilt, and kept stroking his daughter-in-law's body with his hands to comfort, Jin Guangzheng's silent comfort gave his daughter-in-law great satisfaction, and the pain in her lower body didn't seem to be as painful as just now, and the little couple invariably blew out the oil lamp.

In stark contrast, the old man Jin was lying on the kang, turning over and couldn't sleep, lying down uncomfortable, he simply sat up, and dragged the clay pot with tobacco leaves on the kang table to his side, he grabbed a handful of broken tobacco leaves from the jar, crushed it with his hand and put it into the tobacco bag pot, lit it near the oil lamp, and smoked it in a big gulp, when he smoked the third bag, the pungent smell of smoke still woke up the sleeping wife:

"I said, you dead old man, why don't you sleep and toss? When this grandson was born, he made you happy like this? It's still screaming with smoke! ”

"Of course I'm happy to have grandchildren, but after being happy, I always feel a little unsteady in my heart, and I also told myself that I can't think badly about everything, but you said, our first two grandchildren..."

"Bah, bah, bah, quickly take back your unlucky words, it's not me talking about you, you are just cranky. You can just say this in front of me, but you can't say it in front of your son and daughter-in-law, if they hear it, they don't know how sad it will be! ”

"How can I say it in front of the children, I don't want to think nonsense, but somehow it's not psychologically steady, old woman, you say, isn't our family's feng shui bad? I wondered, should I invite a feng shui gentleman to our house to have a look? If our family's feng shui is really not good, let's let Mr. Feng Shui dismantle our family, maybe we can avoid disasters, bless our grandchildren, and grow up healthy and healthy, do you think my idea is reliable? ”

"You reminded me of this, do you still remember, the year before last the eldest son of Li Laohan's family next door to us, suddenly ran around like crazy, his family was afraid that he would run away, and looked at him day and night, in order to treat him, Li Laohan invited several Langzhong to have nothing to do, and finally there was no way, and invited a 'half-immortal', 'half-immortal' in their house, tossed for two days, not to mention that the child's madness was cured, this old saying says, 'if you believe, you have, if you don't believe, you don't', I agree with your idea, if you don't keep it, it will work."

"Old woman, if we don't invite or not, if you want to invite, please have a good reputation, and the calculation is accurate, this is a major event related to the succession of our Lao Jin family, don't be sloppy, this time you have to be willing to spend money, I will go outside tomorrow to inquire, and find a good gentleman to come to our house to see feng shui."

"I look at you, don't be like a headless fly running around, if you want me to say, you go to the child's uncle's house tomorrow, after all, his house is closer to the county seat, and he knows a lot of people, let him help you hire a good feng shui gentleman to grasp the big point, or your own family is easy to use and rest assured."

"Old woman, fortunately, you reminded me, how did I forget his uncle's stubble, it's all in a hurry, okay, just according to what you said, I will go to his uncle's house early tomorrow morning, if I can find Mr. Feng Shui smoothly, I will stay at his uncle's house for one night, and I will come back with Mr. Feng Shui the next day, by the way, you haven't seen the child and his uncle for a long time, or I will let his uncle come to the house with him, you will prepare wine and food at home, and then kill a chicken, and wait for us to come back."

"Okay, just do as you say, but old man, do you say you need to say hello to our son about this?"

"I don't think so, our daughter-in-law is in confinement, and there can't be no one around, so let our son take care of his daughter-in-law and our grandson in a down-to-earth manner, and when Daxian finishes reading Feng Shui, it's not too late for us to tell them."

Just do it, and the next day, before dawn, Mr. Jin left for his uncle's house.

Twenty miles sounds like a long journey, and it is estimated that a young man with sharp legs and feet will have to walk for at least a few hours, not to mention the old man Jin who is more than a few years old, and he is still walking a small road full of thorns, the degree of difficulty can be imagined, but the old man Jin did not take these difficulties into his eyes at all, in his heart, this bit of suffering is a drop in the bucket compared with the continuation of the Jin family's incense and ensuring the safety of his children and grandchildren.

After a few hours of travel, at noon, Mr. Jin finally arrived at his uncle's house.

Faced with the sudden visit of his brother-in-law who he hadn't seen for a long time, the eldest brother also mistakenly thought that something was wrong with his sister-in-law, and quickly asked his brother-in-law to tell him about his sister's situation.

As soon as the eldest brother heard that it was for his grandson, he couldn't sit still, he told Mr. Jin that there was an ancestral Feng Shui gentleman surnamed Yao in the village where he lived, and his name had already spread all over the radius, and it was said that it was still very effective, he asked his brother-in-law to finish the meal and go to Mr. Yao's house with him.

The eldest brother knows his brother-in-law's temper well, if he doesn't take him now, no one wants to stop this night, and the eldest brother took his brother-in-law to Mr. Yao's house, which is not far from his house.

Mr. Yao listened to Mr. Jin's request, but did not refuse, a mouthful of promise, the two sides negotiated the price, agreed to follow Mr. Jin to see feng shui early the next morning, back to the eldest brother's house, Mr. Jin only felt hungry 'Gollum, Gollum' screamed, the two of them brought the leftovers at noon to the table, and each poured a glass of wine, which was considered to be a full meal, during the banquet, the eldest brother promised to follow his brother-in-law home together, and by the way to visit his sister and newly-born grandson, after the two brothers chatted for a while, Mr. Jin went to bed early.

The next day, the group of three finally returned home after several hours of mountain travel.

Like Mr. Feng Shui, Mr. Yao's slightly reddened nose is set up with a pair of old glasses that can no longer be used, as if they can fall off the bridge of his nose at any time, and the eyes behind the glasses seem to be open, which seems unfathomable, he came to the center of the courtyard of Mr. Jin, and carefully observed all the courtyards of the house, as if he could not let go of any corner, after looking at it for a long time, Mr. Yao's eyes opened slightly, and at the same time opened Chrysostom:

"Where is the ancestral grave of your Jin family? Can you show me around? ”

"Ancestral grave? It's not far away on the mountain, and I'll take you to see it right away. Old Man Jin hurriedly replied.

The ancestral grave of the Jin family is on the southern slope not far from home, and the old man Jin quickly took Mr. Yao to his ancestral grave.

Mr. Yao circled around the ancestral tomb several times, but he looked at it quietly, Mr. Yao was looking around the ancestral tomb, and Mr. Jin was staring at Mr. Yao's expression, Mr. Jin found that Mr. Yao's expression became more and more solemn, and he sighed a few times from time to time, which made Mr. Jin's heart unsound, could it be... , Old Man Jin didn't dare to think about it.

After a long while, Mr. Yao told Mr. Jin what he had seen.

Old Man Jin listened to Mr. Yao's words, and although his face was embarrassed, he still nodded incessantly.

After seeing the ancestral tomb, Mr. Jin and Mr. Yao returned home, and after a good meal of wine and food, Mr. Yao took a lot of reward money and left with his uncle.

"Old man, I have drunk this wine, eaten the meal, and given enough money, what did Mr. Yao say?" Old Man Jin's wife couldn't hold back and asked.

"Mr. Yao has given us a problem!"

"What's the problem? As long as we can bless our grandson well, we have to do it no matter how difficult it is. ”

"That's right, but after all, this matter involves the entire Jin family, and it's not up to our family to call the shots!"

"Old man, don't sell it! It's almost killing me, you say, what did Mr. Yao say? ”

"Mr. Yao said that if you want to bless our family Ding Xingwang and have a full house of descendants, there is only one way to go, and that is to move the ancestral grave."

"What? Moving ancestral graves? Can the Jin family agree?! ”

"That's what I'm talking about, that's what I'm worried about, Mr. Yao can say, our family's ancestral grave falls in the col, surrounded by mountains and has no exit, and it can't see the light all year round, which is not conducive to reproduction."

"That is to say, if we don't move the grave, our family will not be able to prosper."

"That's what it means, I thought, Mr. Yao's words make sense, or our two good grandsons are gone early, I think so, this time we must do what Mr. Yao said, we are both so old, before we meet our ancestors, we have to solve the matter of our grandson first, otherwise we can't turn a blind eye when we die."

"Of course I support you, but the matter of moving the ancestral grave is a big deal, I'm worried that the people of the Jin family will oppose it, don't look at the usual, the people in the family are like a family, that's not the time to move the real thing, besides, other people's lives are still prosperous, you suddenly propose to move the ancestral grave, can people agree to move the grave for our family? I don't think it's that easy. ”

"According to you, this can't be done, right? I don't believe in that evil, it's man-made, and I have to do it if I give up my old life, if you don't believe it, you can see it. ”

"Don't be anxious with me, I believe you, hey, old man, I don't think it's as good as this, tomorrow we will invite the head of the Jin family to our house, let's set up a few tables of banquets, you will spread the matter of moving the grave on the table at the banquet, let's listen to everyone's statement first, and then make the next step, do you think this method will work?"

"I think it's okay, I'll go door-to-door tonight, I think you don't have to rest tonight, prepare two tables of banquets, take out the old wine I have stored in the cellar, kill two chickens, and try to let them have a good time tomorrow."

"Okay, old man, remember, don't forget when you go to invite someone, say a few more kind words to your uncles and brothers, and they will speak for us at the wine table tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go in a moment."

After dinner, Mr. Jin began to invite people from door to door.

He first came to his uncle and brother's house, who was older than himself and had the highest prestige among the buddies and brothers, in front of the real person, Mr. Jin did not speak, he truthfully told his brother the cause and effect of moving the grave, the elder brother is a person who understands, for what has happened in his brother's family in recent years, he is both anxious and sympathetic, and a little unhelpful, today it happened that the younger brother made a request to move the grave, when the elder brother found an exit to help the younger brother, it doesn't work, it is necessary to help the younger brother achieve his wish, Old Man Jin learned that his brother would fully support him, and he had the bottom of his heart.

Then, Mr. Jin invited more than a dozen cousins of his family, except for the eldest brother, Mr. Jin did not reveal the real purpose of participating in the banquet, but only said that it was to celebrate his grandson's birthday, in fact, according to the old reason, it is impossible for the grandson to hold a banquet before the full moon, which Mr. Jin knows, why does he want to talk about his grandson's birthday? He feared that if his cousins disagreed and refused to attend the banquet, all his hopes would be in vain.

And the matter of moving the ancestral grave must be completed with the consent of 100% of the people of the Jin family, and if one family does not agree, this matter cannot be done, so the calculation of the old man Jin is to bring up this matter while everyone is eating and drinking, and if there is resistance, and the eldest brother comes forward to coordinate, it is possible to move the grave.

At noon the next day, plus Mr. Jin, a total of fifteen old brothers of the same generation, they sat on two wine tables, eight hot dishes, four cold dishes, and four jars of wine were placed on the table.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Old Man Jin whispered a few words in the eldest brother's ear, and the eldest brother stood up and began to speak:

"Brothers, my cousin's wine is there, we must drink it today, now take up a little time for the brothers, let the cousin discuss a matter with you, but I will talk about the ugly things in the front, the cousin wants to say this matter, no matter what you think, you must say it calmly, no one should be distracted, or I will not be able to get by. Cousin, tell us what you think. ”

As soon as the eldest brother's words fell, Old Man Jin stood up and began the words he wanted to say to the elder brother in his heart, which he had recited countless times:

"All the brothers here, you are all the closest people in this world, so many years, our brothers of the Jin family have experienced a lot of ups and downs in Shayu Village, and have also overcome countless difficulties, we firmly believe in such a belief, as long as it is for our Jin family, we can risk our lives to defend the interests of the family."

"Brother, what's wrong with you today, let's have an opening remark, our brother doesn't need these polite words, you can just say anything directly." A cousin took over Mr. Kim's words.

"Right now, as a member of the Jin family, I encountered a hurdle in how to step forward, I don't say that you have also seen it, my two grandsons, lost early, the departure of the two grandsons, so that my heart also died, I feel that living in the world, there is no hope, simply accept the fate, who knows, just when I was desperate, God opened his eyes, so that my third grandson was born again, it stands to reason that I, the loess buried to the neck, should be happy, but my heart is always not steady, why? It's just that I'm afraid that he will be like his two brothers. ”

"Brother, we all know about you, we are also sad, we also want to help, but we can't help this kind of thing!" A cousin said with a wine glass.

"I know this, but for this matter, I can't eat or sleep all day, I just think, if I go to the ancestor, the ancestor asks me, how are the children and grandchildren doing? I didn't have the face to tell them that I didn't continue the good incense, and I was sorry for my ancestors, so I discussed with my wife and asked his brother to find a feng shui gentleman and look at our family's feng shui. ”

"Is there such a thing? What does Mr. Feng Shui say? A cousin didn't wait for Old Man Jin to finish speaking, so he hurriedly asked.

"Mr. Feng Shui said after reading the ancestral tomb, our ancestral tomb is surrounded by mountains and cannot see the light, which affects the reproduction of offspring, I asked him what tricks can be solved? The only way, he said, was to move the graves. ”

"Grave relocation? How can it be done, it is buried in the ground but our ancestors. A cousin stood up and expressed his displeasure.

"I know, the matter of moving the grave is difficult for everyone to accept, I think so, the disaster faced by my family, but also the disaster faced by our Jin family, the brothers here, definitely do not want to see my third grandson, but also follow the old path of the first two grandsons, in order to continue the incense of our Jin family, people are prosperous, I implore the brothers, agree to the request to move the grave, I think, even if the ancestors have knowledge underground, they will not complain that we are the younger generations, I will give you a big gift on behalf of the whole family." Old Man Jin knelt down on his knees as he spoke.

Old Man Jin's kneeling, there is really no trace of water, if it weren't for the health of his children and grandchildren, with his way of doing things, he would have fallen to the point of kneeling, not to mention that he is already an old man, he is not for himself.

"Let me say a few words, our ancestors have been in the soil for so many years, we can't pick up the grave of our ancestors because of Mr. Feng Shui's words, this thing is absolutely unavoidable, we still don't care about the people who are alive, if it is because the tomb has alarmed the ancestral gods and disturbed the rest of the elders, I am afraid that the one here will not be able to bear this sin." The cousin, who had always been grumpy, stood up and made his position clear.

The cousin's words made the other brothers who were drinking put down their wine glasses, most of them were originally holding a wait-and-see attitude, but with the cousin taking the lead in opposition, the other brothers also brought out a sympathetic attitude, seeing that the atmosphere at the wine table was about to be one-sided, the older brother stood up and expressed his opinion:

"I understood what my brother said just now, the third brother said that the relocation of the grave is to continue the incense of the Jin family, and the cousin said that the relocation of the grave will disturb the deceased ancestors, and I want to say, you are all right, and you all have their own reasons, but at the moment we can only choose one, either choose to continue the incense, or choose not to disturb the ancestors, my opinion is to choose to continue the incense."

"I don't agree with what the eldest brother said, except for the old Jin family, aren't all our branches and lineages passed down from generation to generation? Is it because of his family that he moved the graves of his ancestors? The grumpy cousin objected again.

"We are all descendants of the Jin family, we have to think about this matter in our shoes, if we encounter the situation of our cousin's family, what will you do? I think it makes sense, even if the ancestors know underground, they will not complain about us who are younger generations, because they want to see the Jin family, prosperous people, and successors, so I sincerely hope that the brothers will work together to help the cousin and agree to move the grave. ”

The eldest brother walked up to the cousin, who had taken the lead against the grumpy temper, and patted his cousin on the shoulder with his hand, as if to his cousin, but in fact he said something serious to all the brothers at the wine table:

"Look at how many of them are under sixty years old at this table, their cousins are all in their seventies, and they have just gotten their own grandson, is it wrong for him to want his grandson to be safe and healthy? We can live for a few more years, if we let my cousin achieve his wish in his lifetime, I think this matter, not only the third brother, but also all of us sitting here can have an explanation when they go to the ancestors, do you say this is the reason! ”

"Since the eldest brother has said so, what else can I say? However, we have to choose a new grave site, and we can't wronged our ancestors. The cousin was silent for a while, but finally agreed.

"If you have no objection to the matter of moving the grave of your cousin, I will be here for my cousin, let's take a look at the yellow calendar, choose an auspicious day, and ask the feng shui gentleman to choose a new cemetery for us, the day of the grave move, our Jin family, all branches and veins of people have been gathered, we have to do the matter of moving the grave lively, but there is one thing, all the expenses for choosing a new grave site and moving the grave will be paid by the cousin's family, our brother will do his best to help, cousin, do you think I can arrange it this way? If it does, we'll do it. ”

"Okay, it's too good, just do what you say, don't forget to help me check when the time comes, I thank the eldest brother on behalf of the whole family, thank you brothers." Old Man Jin was so excited that he wanted to kneel down again, but was stopped by the brothers.

The major event of moving the grave was finally decided under the auspices of the eldest brother, and the hanging heart of Old Man Jin was also put down.

There are a few old brothers who have no ideological baggage, and they pick up the wine glass again, everyone pushes the cup to change the lamp, and when they drink to the fullest, the old man Jin spread the ancestral pedigree of the Jin family that has turned yellow on the kang, and when he sees the ancestral pedigree, he evokes the memories of the old brother and the past, and everyone drinks and chats happily, until late at night.

The selection of a new site and the relocation of the grave went very smoothly, and all branches and veins of the Jin family were very satisfied, and the old man Jin finally got rid of a piece of his heart.

Mr. Jin named his third grandson Jin Changnan, nicknamed Dahu, which means that the tiger's head and tiger brain are strong and strong.

It's a bit strange to say this, there is also a saying that it's a coincidence', since the grave was moved, the grandson of the old man Jin, the big tiger, is really like his name, not only has a good physique but also is smart and smart, will make the grandfather happy, but also won the appreciation of the grandfather, not only that, but also good things happen, when the big tiger was three years old, Jin Guangzheng's daughter-in-law added a grandson to the old man Jin, named Jin Changbei, nicknamed Dalong, two grandsons, the southern tiger, the northern dragon, the dragon and the tiger.

Looking at the two grandsons who were alive and well, Mr. Jin was so happy that the corners of his mouth rose all day long, and he attributed the credit to Mr. Yao, who knew how to read feng shui, and attributed it to the relocation of the grave and the change of feng shui.

The changes in Mr. Jin's family, not only the clansmen, but even the people with foreign surnames in Shayu Village also believe in feng shui, of course, Mr. Yao's ability was quickly spread by the people in the four miles and eight towns, and even the name has changed, Mr. Yao changed his name to 'Yao Daxian', the name is loud, and the business is also on fire.

After the big tiger understood a little, the old man Jin began to teach him to read, memorize the three-character scripture, and write brush words, and the big tiger also likes to learn and write, and the New Year's holiday is the busiest day for the old man Jin, and before the Chinese New Year's Eve, he wants to give free Spring Festival to every family in the village.

This habit of the old man Jin has been insisted on for decades, not for anything else, is to be a festive, when writing the Spring Festival couplets, the big tiger helped the grandfather cut red paper, grinding, after the Spring Festival couplets were written, the big tiger hugged the grandfather to send it door to door, what made the big tiger happy was that when he handed the couplet to the neighbors, the people returned the eyes of their grandfather with approval, the big tiger was full of great respect for the grandfather from the heart, he secretly warned himself that when he grew up, he must be like his grandfather, and pass on the warmth and love to everyone.

The old man Jin who is full of children and grandchildren, his life is prosperous, his heart is as full as a young man, but his heart is angry, after all, his age is not forgiving, his body is like his age, he has become disobedient, just like a lamp twist without oil, burned to the end, leaving only a slight light like lifeless, and finally one day, he fell ill, when he knew that his time was short, he called his son and grandson to him, and used his last strength to admonish:

"In my life, I don't have any regrets, when I get there, I will tell the ancestors that our Lao Jin family is finally prosperous and has a successor, Guangzheng! When Dahu and Dalong are older, send them to the school to study in private school! My grandson can't be uneducated, and no matter how tight his life is, he must remember that he must provide for both of them to study. ”

"Dad, don't worry! As long as I have a breath, I will definitely find a way to let the two children study. ”

Jin Guangzheng asked Dahu and Dalong to kneel in front of their grandfather and kowtow three times.

In the face of the filial son and the grandson of the dragon and the tiger, the old man Jin's head tattoo opened, and his pupils began to dilate, he seemed to see not only the two grandsons of the big tiger and the dragon, but many children and grandchildren, all of whom were jumping around him, he felt so happy, he instinctively used his last breath to tell the big tiger:

"Big Tiger, grandpa is coming, there is one more thing that can not be assured, that is, every New Year's holiday, send Spring Festival couplets to the villagers, I can't do this thing, you have to take over from grandpa, remember, when sending Spring Festival couplets, the family can not be left behind, we have to keep promises, remember that grandpa taught you calligraphy, right? You still have to practice hard, you have to surpass grandpa, remember? ”

"I remember, Grandpa." In Dahu's subconscious, he seemed to have a premonition that something would happen to his grandfather, and with tears in his eyes, he agreed to his grandfather's request.

After the old man Jin explained what he thought was the two most important things in his life, he closed his eyes forever, and Jin Guangzheng knew that the old man was gone.

The sensible big tiger, looking at everything that happened in front of him, showed an unusually calm, he was afraid that because of one of his inadvertent actions, he made a sound, disturbing his grandfather and making him uneasy. And Dalong still didn't understand what it meant for his grandfather to close his eyes, and he only cared about playing with himself.

According to custom, Jin Guangzheng held a funeral banquet for the old man Jin for three days, and Dahu and Dalong also wore linen and filial piety for their grandfather for three days, and there was no one in the village who did not come to mourn.

This is not because of Mr. Jin's generation, but he insisted on it for decades, and gave everyone Spring Festival couplets for free, which touched the villagers, it is not difficult for a person to do a good deed, and it is not easy to persist for decades, and Mr. Jin has insisted on it for decades, even if the matter itself is insignificant, but it has also been made great by decades of persistence, this is the value of human life, 'people have left a name, geese have left a voice', and the same is true for ordinary people.

In the heart of the big tiger, grandpa is his sky, he worships grandpa, worships grandpa's personality, worships grandpa's wisdom, grandpa's death is like the sky falling, so that he has lost a respectable elder who can give him energy all the time, his heart began to panic, and he always felt that there was no grandpa when he was alive.

Someone has to ask, doesn't Dahu still have parents? Can't parents replace grandpa? Honestly, I really can't.

When the old man Jin was alive, in addition to being stumped by the matter of moving the grave, the big and small affairs in the village basically had to be decided by the old man Jin, at home the old man Jin was the head of the family, and his son Jin Guang was in front of the old man Jin, somewhat timid, in a word, 'the father is strong and the son is weak', as long as it is the matter decided by the old man, Jin Guangzheng designated absolute obedience without any preconditions.

Coupled with the premature death of the two children before the big tiger, the old man Jin gave 100% of his energy to the big tiger, let's put it this way, from the time the big tiger was able to understand what the grandfather said, the grandfather consciously instilled the history of the Jin family and the truth of life to the big tiger, although, because he was still young, the big tiger seemed to understand what his grandfather instilled, but the grandfather took a fancy to the big tiger's serious little adult-like energy, and he treated the big tiger as a little man.

In the subtle words and deeds of the long time, the grandfather has become the day of the big tiger, and the big tiger has become a little man in the eyes of the grandfather, and the relationship between the grandfather and grandson has slowly undergone qualitative changes.

Dahu learned from his grandfather's narration that the ancestors of the Jin family were Koreans, in order to escort the mausoleum of the deceased general, the four brothers of the Jin family, far away from their homeland, came to Shayu Village with the general's coffin, in order to prevent the general's mausoleum from being stolen, the four brothers stayed to guard the general's spirit, it is said that at the beginning, they relied on receiving the official family every year to make a living, and then after multiplication, gradually sinicization, and developed into Jin, Han, Li three surnames, dozens of families of Shayu Village.

In addition to the grandfather who could speak Korean when he was alive in the village, most of the descendants of the Kim family no longer knew that they were descendants of Koreans, let alone spoke Korean. No one thought that this seemingly inadvertent inheritance would help the situation of the big tiger in the future, so I won't show it here for the time being.
