Chapter 229: Hundred Days Sacrifice
The piglets grow very fast, it's like a day, and gradually they can eat anything.
Wang Ying has always been worried about the swill in the cafeteria, thinking of finding an opportunity today to talk to the steward about it.
There is no heavy work in the canteen, Wang Ying belongs to a brick in the canteen, where she needs to move, it's time to pick and wash vegetables, she goes to help pick and wash vegetables, it's time to steam steamed buns, she goes to help knead the ingredients.
Soon after I went to work, the food delivery came, took a basket of spinach, a basket of leeks, in the spring, the green vegetables grew fast, especially spinach, a few days without seeing the moss, buy the vegetables and accept them, Wang Ying and his colleagues came around to pick them quickly, the first stubble leeks, look at the fresh, Xiao Wang was full of praise, and shook the leeks in his hand to Wang Ying to see, "Sister-in-law, you see how good this leek, chop some vermicelli, scrambled some eggs, don't mention how delicious a vegetarian dumpling is." ”
"That's it, after saving up nutrition for the winter, the first stubble of leeks that came out, can it not be delicious?" Wang Ying replied with a mouth, and his subordinates quickly removed the outermost dry leaves.
"Busy?" Pan Changfeng entered the house with a smile.
Perhaps because the people in the canteen are not lacking in nutrition, Pan Changfeng has a rich appearance, his face is round, and it is obvious that he is full of meat, and his big belly is almost the same as a woman who is four or five months pregnant.
"The director is here." The big guys greeted Pan Changfeng one after another.
Wang Ying grabbed a handful of leeks and hurriedly stood up, "Director." ”
"Is there something wrong?" Pan Changfeng paused and looked at Wang Ying.
It was the first time for Wang Ying to ask someone to do something, she was a little embarrassed, and pursed her mouth shyly, "Director, that's the case, I have two pigs at home, I want to ask if the swill in our canteen can be given to me in the future." Speaking of this, she was afraid that Pan Changfeng would not agree, so she hurriedly said: "I promise to clean the swill bucket clean, and there is no taste at all." ”
"Hey, I thought it was a big deal, just like that." Pan Changfeng waved his hand happily, "Just tell him when you see you pulling swill today." ”
"Hey! Thank you, Director, thank you, Director! The matter was so easy to solve, Wang Ying was happy in her heart.
In the afternoon, seeing the old man who came to pull the swill, Wang Ying was quite uneasy, she helped to sort out the swill bucket, and looked at the face of the visitor with caution, "Master, that ......" Wang Ying swallowed her saliva, "Let me tell you, you don't have to come over to pull the swill tomorrow." ”
"Okay."
Wang Ying waited for the old man to ask why, she had already thought about what she said, but she didn't expect him to say "okay" without any words.
Is this master angry? Wang Ying glanced at him several times in a row, "Master, you're not angry, are you?" ”
The old man smiled, "This little thing is worth being angry about, and that person won't live in this life." ”
It's good that he didn't get angry, Wang Ying was relieved, originally people were carrying the swill, and they came over to insert a pole by themselves, Wang Ying was afraid that people would have opinions.
The old man scooped the swill into the bucket he carried, and Wang Ying pulled the water pipe to help clean the bucket.
Wang Ying's family is very big, the old man came to pick swill every day and heard about it, he had the heart to comfort Wang Ying, brushed the swill bucket and said: "People, there are many things in this life, they are all managed by God, in our local dialect, that is fate, everything in life is predestined, what kind of work to do, how long to live, there are counts." ”
Speaking of fate, Wang Ying has an understanding, "What you say is reasonable, so people can't earn their lives, so they can only accept their fate." ”
"Yes, in this life, it is long and short, no matter how you live it, it is that day, so you have to think about it and live every day happily."
Hearing this, Wang Ying understood, this uncle was reassuring her heart, which made Wang Ying even more unhappy, she said apologetically: "Actually, I just bought two pigs, and I want this swill to go back to feed the pigs, I'm sorry master, otherwise I don't want this swill, you will continue to bear it tomorrow." ”
"Oh, look at what you said, I'm old, I can't stand it every day, I don't want to do it, I originally thought that if I didn't come to bear, you would all pour it and waste it, although it was all swill, it was also the grain that was planted in spring and harvested in autumn, our old farmers knew that it was not easy to farm land, and they were reluctant to waste it, so they insisted on coming to bear it every day, and now it's okay, you take it, and I can rest with peace of mind."
I don't know if what the old man said is true, but looking at his rickety waist, gray hair and furrows on his face, he is indeed not young.
"Then I'll thank you, uncle."
Shi Ke now has a new job, every day when he comes home, he is not busy writing homework, he goes out with a basket to dig a basket of wild vegetables for the pig and comes back to write, which is Zhang Jun's will, he doesn't like to write homework, he just plays when he gets home, he has played enough, and after eating, he finishes his homework before going to bed.
When Shi Ke first came back, in order to accompany Shi Ke, he came back from school every day and wrote homework with Shi Ke for a period of time.
Now Shi Ke went out to dig wild vegetables, he also followed with a basket, saying that it was for chickens, it turned out that their family had also raised pigs, and later Cui Yunxiang thought that raising pigs was too troublesome, and the pigs were never raised after they were slaughtered, and the pigsty also made her a chicken coop.
With the swill, the two little pigs got fat faster, and they saw that they had grown into half-sized pigs.
The layout of their family home is like this, it is built in a straight line according to the earth cliff, considering the safety reasons, it is not directly located under the earth cliff, but opposite to the earth cliff, the empty place under the earth cliff, the family members are not willing to let them idle, some open up and plant vegetables, some people raise poultry, Wang Ying originally also planted some vegetables, six or seven square meters of space, can not collect many things.
Now raising pigs, pigs, eat more, excrete more, the smell is quite big, Wang Ying is afraid that the neighbors will dislike, every morning the first thing is to clean the pigsty, pig manure comes out, piled up in a corner, and the neighbor who grows vegetables said okay, who needs fertilizer to load, I didn't expect it to become a good thing, several neighboring families have come to ask for it, but the supply is in short supply.
Life goes on like this, going to work, getting off work, taking care of the children and taking care of the pigs, dull and busy.
Shi Dayong has been gone for nearly a hundred days, and every day Wang Ying remembers it clearly, a hundred days is a big day, if he is in his hometown, he will go to the grave to fill in the earth on this day, although they are far away, but Shi Dayong's hundred days sacrifice can not be done.
Wang Ying went to the set to buy a lot of incense, candles, and fire paper back, and after eating in the evening, the family sat around the dinner table and stacked ingots, and the ingots used for sacrifice were also sold on the large collection, and a full bag sold for a few cents, in fact, it couldn't contain much, and the store itself folded it with fire paper, and the folding method was also very simple, Wang Ying stood in front of the stall owner and watched for a while and learned almost, not to mention that the stall owner saw that Wang Ying bought her so much fire paper, and specially taught her to fold it twice.
Wang Ying bought a lot of fire paper, the money was not distressed at all, the family was poor, Dayong was busy with money every day when he was alive, she didn't want Dayong to be poor over there, she wanted to burn a lot of money for Dayong, so that he could live a comfortable life there.
Like them who are not in their hometown, the sacrifices are all at the crossroads, after the sun goes down, Wang Ying put everything into the bag, the ingots are light, and a big bag is not too heavy, Wang Ying checked it to see that nothing was missing, and then he was ready to lead the four children out, "Mother, we went." ”
"Go ahead, I'll look after the house." Sun Xiufang agreed, picked up a bag of ingots and walked outside together, walked a few steps and suddenly remembered something, she said: "Yingzi, Dayong likes to drink, you bring him a bottle of bar." ”
Wang Ying patted the basket she was carrying, "Mother, I can't forget it, I took it." ”
In their hometown, the elders can't sacrifice to the juniors, so Dayong's 100-day festival Sun Xiufang can't participate, she just sent Wang Yingniang to the gate and closed the courtyard door and went back.
A big tragedy in life, losing a son in old age, and being the most prominent son, Sun Xiufang felt uncomfortable, Wang Ying took the child out of the door, she lay on the bed and cried for a while.
Carrying a big burden and small luggage, the five mothers arrived at the intersection where they were sent last time, Wang Ying first drew a circle on the side of the road, leaving a small opening in the direction of his hometown, everything was laid out, and incense and candles were lit.
Before he said a word, he shed tears, "Dayong." Wang Ying trembled her lips, "Are you okay over there?" Today you are 100 days old, and I have brought the children to see you. ”
Wang Ying first lit the fire paper with the address of his hometown, and then sprinkled the ingots, "Dayong, collect the money, these are the ingots we made with our own hands, don't be reluctant to spend them after you receive them, you can't always wronged yourself over there like before." ”
The Shi Ke sisters followed their mother's example and sprinkled ingots on the fire one by one.
It's not enough to just throw money like this, Wang Ying taught the children, "Coco, An'an, you have to say that Dad collected the money, otherwise he won't be able to collect it." ”
"Oh." When Shi Ke sprinkled ingots again, he would sprinkle a handful and say, "Dad collected the money, Dad collected the money." ”
An Anhe thought about it when he was older, what his mother and sister did, and what they did too, they all followed the estimate, "Dad collected the money, and we did it ourselves." ”
"Dayong, did you see that?" Tears fell in strings, "The children are sensible, and now they all know to help me work, you can rest assured, you bless the children in the spirit of heaven to be healthy, and there are no diseases or disasters." ”
An An was still thinking about what Wang Ying said, she muttered: "Dad, we have two pigs at home, one is called Baiqiu, and the other is called Heituan, you must bless them not to get sick, they want to eat fat and strong, Mom said, by the end of the year, our family will have a lot of meat to eat." ”
After the ingots were burned, Wang Ying opened the lid of the wine and sprinkled it around the circle, "I know that you love to drink, I brought it to you, this time I won't talk about you, drink as much as you want." ”
When it got dark, with the embers of the ingots flickering and flickering, Wang Ying said: "Okay, Coco take your younger brothers and sisters to kowtow to your father." ”
