Otherwise...... Why did you come up with such a mysterious word as "luck"?

Her heart turned a thousand times, but Old Man Lin continued to talk about the past: "Later, I really couldn't find it, it was still your second uncle, and said to me in a trembling voice, big brother, it's not possible, we can't just cover our heads and look for it, let's call the police, and then notify the family to bring someone to come and search again." ”

"There's really no way, and you can't hide it from your family, a few of us walked back one foot deep and one foot shallow, how could there be such a convenient mobile phone at that time, that is, there was a satellite phone in the car."

"As a result, we were far away, and we saw a group of people around our car, and I thought that someone had touched our car. My heart was full of fire because your father didn't find it, and I rushed over in a few steps, almost shouting what happened? ”

Mrs. Lin laughed: "Later, when the second brother came home and told me, his face was full of disbelief, saying that the eldest brother has practiced his kung fu for so many years, except when he was a hairy young man at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he really never saw him so angry with outsiders." ”

"As a result, after I finished shouting this sentence, I was stunned, isn't it your father who we haven't found for hours?"

"I'm here today, I'll tell you something from my heart," the outline of the ancestral tomb can already be seen, and Old Man Lin is still immersed in his own memories, "I saw that your father was held in his hands well, if it wasn't for your second uncle behind my back to support me, I would have been able to sit on the ground directly because of my soft feet." ”

It is normal for such ups and downs in the heart and soft feet, and how many people have been sent to the first aid should be on the four words of "big ups and downs".

"Later, I found out that your father saw a hare on the side of the road and wanted to catch it for fun, but he stepped into the trap where someone was going to catch the rabbit, and we all thought he was running away, and we didn't look for it much closer." To this day, thinking of the original misunderstanding, Mr. Lin still feels ridiculous, "As a result, people came to collect the trap later, and saw that there was a child inside, and when they saw the face, they knew that it was brought by the group of people who came to worship their ancestors today, so they brought it back." After seeing that it was all skin injuries, and I was afraid that we would not be able to find the child in a hurry, I wrapped the child in a cotton jacket and asked for ginger soup, and waited for us to come back next to the car warmly. ”

Lin Ran endured and endured, but in the end she still couldn't hold back the question in her heart: "Then, was my father beaten later?" ”

"Suffered, why didn't I suffer, when I got home, I took the ring ruler and beat it ten times, and your grandmother was also angry, and reached out to make up for a few more slaps." Old Man Lin laughed, "Fortunately, after such a big incident, your father never dared to run out to play by himself without telling the adults, knowing the mistakes can improve a lot, and your grandmother and I are also relieved, not as worried as before." ”

After saying this, the group had already walked to the ancestral grave, even if the old couple of the Lin family had not finished talking, Lin Ran still wanted to hear more stories from his father's past, so they all kept silent, cleaned up their expressions, and straightened their minds to deal with this major event of the New Year that has been passed down to this day.

The people who followed next to him brought a futon that was convenient for kneeling and a brazier for burning paper money, and Lin Ran knelt behind half of her grandparents, burning paper while chanting words in her mouth: "Grandparents go home for the New Year." ”

After kneeling down one by one and burning the paper money, Lin Ran also felt tired, and on the way back, she didn't ask about some past things, but closely supported Mrs. Lin by her side, and from time to time she also paid attention to the old man Lin who was supported by the entourage, for fear that the old couple would be tired, and they would not notice that they would break their feet or something for a while.

After returning to the ancestral house, the matter was not over, and the paper watch was burned again in front of the gate of the ancestral house, Lin Ran took the incense stick and lit a string of firecrackers, and then knelt down again, kowtowed firmly to the gate, and recited the words in his mouth: "Grandparents go home for the New Year, please make way for the door god." ”

This time, Lin Ran got up and was picked up by others, there are too many kneeling and standing up this day, and the weather is dry and cold, even a young man who has been busy since dawn may not be able to hold it up now.

Stepping into the door, a "barricade" made of peach wood was placed horizontally at the door, Mrs. Lin couldn't stand still, so she had to sit on the side and watch Lin Ran and Old Man Lin light the bright candle one by one, and told the housekeeper who was guarding the ancestral house who accompanied her uneasily: "Be sure to let people watch, this candle can't be extinguished all night, let them work hard tonight, and pay twice the usual night shift." ”

After thinking about it, he was still not at ease, and continued: "The quilt is also ready, the ancestral house is not occupied all year round, and if there is no popularity, it will be cold and panicked, let alone at night." Then give them a small stove in the yard, so that they can boil some hot water and hot food at night, and other people's families will do their best to stare at the candles for us, and turn around to make trouble, how uncomfortable you say in the New Year. ”

These are all done, Mr. Lin turned around and got into the car step by step, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief and relaxation: "It's done, today is a smooth sail, and the rest is to wait for the second night of the Lunar New Year, take the family tree to send the ancestors outside the village, burn the incense paper, and put the family tree away after coming back. ”

"I know that after I go back, I will use the best food and dishes before every meal, and worship the gods and ancestors before eating." Lin Ran handed the hot water and hot hand towel to her grandparents, "I also remember the things of the second year of junior high school, and I will remind you of the second elder the next morning." ”

This way was busy and busy, and it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon when I returned home, and Uncle Cheng, who had been waiting at home, hurriedly asked the three of them to sit down, and then they had a hot meal.

On a cold day, there was no heating in the ancestral hall, the main house and the ancestral tomb, and Lin Ran, who was already weak, was so cold that her lips were blue and her face was white, so Mrs. Lin asked Uncle Cheng to burn the rice wine: "Hurry up and drink a sip of hot wine to drive away the cold, so as not to get a cold and flu at this juncture, not to mention that the New Year is not good, you yourself are uncomfortable." ”

Over the years, there are only two old ladies and old men in the family, and their concern for her is still so sincere.

Lin Ran hurriedly took the hot wine, and first gave the first cup to the old man, because the old lady was eating Chinese medicine and taboo wine, so she didn't serve the old lady anymore, watching the old man drink it, she drank the small cup of hot rice wine herself.

After eating, the tiredness slowly returned, and the old man made the decision, saying that everyone should go to sleep and rest first, otherwise they would be so tired that they would not be able to do any work.

After Lin Ran washed, she slept until dusk, got up again, took a shower, changed her pajamas, and went into the living room to see the old man and the old lady.

Mrs. Lin was sitting opposite Mr. Lin and drinking kung fu tea, and when she saw Lin Ran entering the house, she felt in a trance for a while.

After the New Year, Lin Ran was twenty years old.

The age on her ID card is written older, and she herself reports that her age is twenty and she is late to school, so she is only a freshman this year, but in fact, Lin Ran is only eighteen years old this year.

As time passed, she was still a little more like her mother when she was young, but now, Lin Ran is more and more like her father Lin Zheng.

But even if it is similar, for the old couple of the Lin family, there is still a significant difference between the son and granddaughter.

Although Lin Zheng looks "lively", no matter how old he is, he always has a unique momentum, like a vigorous lion, stubbornly chasing the goal he firmly believes in.

But Lin Zheng's eyes are very "flat", hidden behind the fiery eyes are unfazed, sparkling, and unpredictable.

Lin Ran is the opposite.

She looks like a very "quiet" little girl, her gestures are slow, she eats a little loss, and she never bothers to argue with others, but she has her own blind awakening and chic in this quietness, so that she will not be obsessed with everyone.

But in her bright and pretty eyes, there is a fire burning, the vigor that only young people can have, and the stubbornness that melts into her bones.
