Chapter 152: Returning to the Hometown to Worship (2)
Lizheng's daughter-in-law hummed and saw the doubts on Chungui's face, and also realized that she was too angry, so she slowed down and said: "It's so easy to come here, why bother to go there to see people's faces, my aunt bought a lot of vegetables there, and I came to eat at home for a while, and my aunt will accompany you to buy some things for worship, and now we also have a lot of merchants here, all of which are convenient." ”
It's so obvious that the face is ruined, how can Chun Gui not see anything.
She listened to Lizheng's daughter-in-law and a few more casual words, and then said softly: "But what happened to the ancestral hall?" ”
The joy on Lizheng's daughter-in-law's face disappeared again, and she said angrily:
"What else do you say it could be for?"
Now that Qi You has won the official, he can't get any benefits, and he wants to marry Chungui again. I didn't dare to come to me to talk about it, so I kept muttering behind my back.
The two patriarchs, one more pedantic than the other, and one more important than the other, immediately slapped the table and scolded when they heard this: "Good official master, marry a widow of Kefu!" This is where to put the face of our Cheng family! ”
And the other is as uncomfortable as digging into the heart and scratching the liver: "The daughter-in-law of the Liu family ran away to be someone's door-to-door lady, and our Liu family is a joke in the eyes of others!" ”
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law protected the spring return like this, how could she not be angry when she heard it, and simply pointed at Sang and scolded Huai in front of everyone:
"I don't know if that person is stupid or not dead, the holy golden mouth and jade words, the four big characters of the match made in heaven are clearly hung in front of the Spring Return Hall, where did he come from to say that his face is not decent? Is this going to slap Chungui in the face or the face of the saint? ”
"Don't die yourself, but don't take a village with you!"
"I offended people and children before, and now I will be an elder, an innocent child, you are a daughter-in-law of the Liu family, you are really a big horse!"
Everyone listened to it funny and funny, and the fame of the two patriarchs was almost lost by themselves over the years, and it was spread to the ears of those two people.
A few words popped out, but they stopped for a while, but the breath in Lizheng's daughter-in-law's heart was also stuck, and now she is panicked when she thinks about it.
Today, when I heard Chungui talk about worshipping ancestors, I had the sentence above.
Chungui is not a saint, how can she be happy when she hears such words, listening to Lizheng's daughter-in-law say these words of counterattack is refreshing for a while, but she still has some concerns in her heart.
"Auntie, I'm worried that if I don't go to worship my ancestors, I will inevitably fall into the hands of others." King Qi's incident made her a little confused, and to this day, she is always afraid of making a mistake.
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law looked at the two young men of Zhilan Yushu, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became, and when she heard this, she immediately shook her head and whispered: "At the beginning, he was abused by Li Lan. waited, and was sold again, so it can be seen that the old man came out to speak? What's more, Qi You's letter of severance is still there, if the old man tears it up, you still have one at Uncle Lizheng's place! ”
At the beginning, when he was most pointing at people to uphold justice, the old men of the clan pretended to be dead and kept silent, and they didn't come out to speak after receiving the letter of breaking off their relatives, and now they still care about ethics and family affection.
"Your Uncle Li Zheng said that there was a mother who was abused by his mother back then. The lord who waited, after worshipping the official, gave enough money to his mother, and did not see anyone say, not to mention that the ancestral hall, the person who was proud gave the face, then took the initiative to add a piece of incense to the ancestral hall, if you don't want to give the face, the group of people can still chase you to raise incense and kneel on the ground? ”
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law is not rough, and she can't be the master by herself at this time, so what's the use of knowing that Qi You jumped a class. Chungui saw that she even gave her examples, and the doubts that came halfway finally became clear.
Looking at the two people who were politely answering with the village chief, she made up her mind and said, "Then I will have to ask my aunt to help me prepare the things for the sacrifice, I am young, and I don't know anything about these things." ”
Lizheng's daughter-in-law waved her hand: "It's not a problem, my aunt will accompany you when I have dinner later." ”
The two said a few more words, and the village chief also finished speaking. Then I went to the spring and said a few words.
"It's always getting better and better in the future, the family is harmonious and beautiful, if there is any difficulty, go back to the township, grandpa is here, your uncle is also here, you can help."
A burst of warmth welled up in Chungui's heart, and said with a smile: "Just pointing to grandpa's words, in the future, we will suffer outside but we have to go home to beg grandpa, several elders and Uncle Li Zheng will uphold justice for you!" ”
It stands to reason that now Qi You Zhixing is in charge of the two county commanders, who would dare to bully Chungui, but this does not mean that these old people don't like to listen to such good words.
When people are old, they always don't like that they are useless, and the children who are not pleasing when they are in a low place and are not alienated when they are in a high place are the most pleasing to them.
"It should be so, it should be so!" Several Liu family elders smiled and nodded.
After chatting a few more words, the clan elders inquired about when they would go to worship the two pairs of fathers and mothers, and after asking clearly, they also planned to follow together.
Several clan elders did not go to the ancestral hall to worship, but went to pay tribute to Zhixing's father and mother, and they also decided that they would not go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors in the spring return.
Spring return is the inheritance.
After a few people left, they talked to Zhixing Qiyou about the conversation with Lizheng's daughter-in-law.
I didn't dare to tell them the words that the two patriarchs had scolded, and I couldn't help but get angry when I heard them, so I just hastily brought them over.
When Qi You heard this, he first frowned and then smiled: "Aunt Li is very right, but Sister Chun thinks that the village chief and grandfather came here without mentioning a word about the ancestor worship." ”
A few elders didn't know that they were all holding their breath in their hearts.
Ethics are important, and human affection often has to retreat. Qi You had such a tragic experience in front of him, no matter what he was forced to do at this moment, a few old people who had been through the wind and frost couldn't bear it.
Qi You patted her hand and comforted her softly: "I also expected what they could say, and I don't have to take it to heart when I return to spring." We have a good life of our own, and everything else has nothing to do with us. ”
Chungui raised his eyes, looked into his clear and peaceful eyes, and his heart was stable.
Gradually, such words of comfort and persuasion have been taken over by Qi You.
At the worship ceremony after noon, Liu Ren and Geng Rong were at home, and the spring return party prepared all their things and went up to the mountain. In front of him, Li Zheng and his wife led the way, and the village chief was so old, at this time, he also followed with Zhixing, plus a few elders surnamed Liu.
The villagers were also free after lunch, and they all came out to see when they heard the movement, the village chief was so old that he could be a man, and he had already taken advantage of the meal to distribute a box of objects sent by the spring return to Qi You and Zhixing's famous head village head and village tail, no matter how big or small, everyone got something.
Or good needlework, or half a good material, cigarettes, alcohol and snacks, no one will fall. Even Cheng Tianbao's closed door had a jar of good wine.
They are all living a hard life in the township, and they suddenly got good things, and they were given by the two officials who will take office, and the whole village is overjoyed, and they are happy at home for a long time. The village is in harmony before and after.
On a good day when people shine on the lintel, don't they offend people when they come out to spoil the fun.
No matter how big the early winter day is, the mountains are also cold, but fortunately, taking advantage of Qi You's kung fu to go to Beijing, Chun Gui has a few small ones in his hands, and several children have one each, and they are comfortable to wear at the moment.
Although Qi You Zhixing and the two went up the mountain, they also inspected the lot all the way. Along the way, I heard the village chief talk about how the spring return made everyone in the village have the guarantee of a few taels of silver a year, and the life of the villagers gradually improved.
The village chief was already very satisfied, and Qi You couldn't help but think about it elsewhere, growing vegetables was limited in the end, and he had the idea of helping in the spring, so he had to cushion her back.
Songxian County is adjacent to Yu County next door, which is the most common hilly area in the south, and a cave that is good with Guo Mansion stands alone, and there is no one next to it.
Glancing at Zhixing on the side, the two glanced at the mountain, and thought of a piece in their hearts. The place where I grew up since I was a child, every inch of the square is familiar, and at this moment, I look at it in my eyes, and the corresponding lining on the map, and the location of several caves has an idea at the beginning.
And the two of them were not the ones who could dig the kiln, so they had to write down the place first, and it was not good to make the villagers happy before they agreed.
Seeing the look in the eyes of the two, Chungui couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's wrong with the two of you?" What's the idea again? ”
Qi You hugged her with a smile and walked a mountain road: "I'll talk to Sister Chun later." ”
Chungui also gave him his hand with ease, and walked a slightly steep road to a flat place, and the two of them did not let go of the hand they shook with Da Yuxia, and walked all the way with each other.
The tombs of Liu Cheng's two fathers and mothers are not far apart, and the villagers who have been buried in this mountain for decades have often come up to clean up the weeds, so this place is not messy.
It doesn't take time to worship just the day, and it's all done after the sun has shifted slightly from the proper head.
In just over a year of hard work, the two Liu Cheng families have changed greatly, and Chungui also sighed in his heart, if these two pairs of parents have nothing to do, this group of children will not have to suffer so much.
Thinking about it again, maybe there would be no more of her, the geist who had occupied the original body.
Today's situation is also a coincidence, and there is a certain number of pecks for this drink.
When I went back, most of the people in the village were waiting, and the people who had grown vegetables at home had already taken advantage of this time to pick a basket and put it at the door, waiting for the spring return party to come down from the mountain.
At the beginning, I asked Lizheng's daughter-in-law to go to the town to talk, and I also planned to divide some of the melons and fruits planted for them to taste in the spring.
Seeing the figure, someone immediately rushed over, and with great enthusiasm, he stuffed the basket of cabbage in his hand into Chungui's hand.
After stuffing, he said proudly: "There is still a vegetable leaf wrapped in sauce radish at the bottom, and my aunt made it herself, but you must try it!" ”
The people next to him saw that Chungui had something in his hand, so they stuffed it to Zhixing Qiyou again.
In the end, the two of them have identities, and the villagers speak with some caution: "It's all seasonal vegetables, it doesn't take much effort, if you like to eat a fresh, let's send it to Zhigao in the future." ”
With such enthusiasm, the daughter-in-law on the side was also funny.
"You old goods, there is no problem with deducting and searching today, I understand, if I want you to eat in one bite in the future, I will lead the spring girl to walk around your place, there must be something fragrant and sweet!"
Lizheng's daughter-in-law opened her mouth and blushed the villagers who were waiting for gifts behind.
This basket full of vegetables, there are still a bunch of people waiting to be delivered, and the spring return is both grateful and helpless.
Pointing to the carriageway, it really couldn't fit it, and these people regretfully scattered in all directions.
The elders looked relieved, and the villagers had money in hand and hope for their lives, so that they could have a harmonious mind.
Isn't that what they were looking forward to most all those years ago?
And at this moment, they could not have imagined that there would be a big surprise waiting in the future.
