Text: Chapter 586 Going to the Grave
The next day was a rare cloudy day, and the weather was finally not so dry, Jiang Yuanheng went out early in the morning to buy incense candles and yellow paper, and bought a large handful of fragrant flowers.
As a rich young master who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, he really didn't know anything about the way to pay tribute to the dead in the countryside, and if someone died there, they would naturally burn the bones into ashes, put them in an urn, and bury them in the cemetery.
Even if someone goes to sweep the grave, they just take a bouquet of flowers, and then they bring something that the deceased liked before their death, and it is absolutely not allowed to burn paper, which is polluting the environment and will be fined.
Of course, ordinary people who go to sweep the grave naturally can't think of such a thing as a fine, and of course they can't think of burning paper or anything, after all, in their memory, there is no such thing at all.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuanheng still knew that the countryside was generally very customary, so he did his homework while lying in bed last night, picked up the tablet and searched the Internet for a long time, until everything he wanted to buy was listed, and then he fell asleep.
Last night, Shen Yuxin saw that he had been holding the tablet and drumming, but she didn't know what he was tinkering with, with her understanding of Jiang Yuanheng, she naturally felt that Jiang Yuanheng was paying attention to some financial news and the like, so she didn't care about him.
Early in the morning, Jiang Yuanheng went out, Shen Yuxin thought that he was going to buy breakfast, and saw that the sun didn't come out outside, so he remembered that when he looked at the weather forecast yesterday, it seemed that it was cloudy today, and it wasn't hot anyway, and besides, breakfast was sold downstairs, and Shen Yuxin wasn't worried that he would get lost.
So I didn't care about him, I packed up the clothes that the two of them changed last night, washed them and dried them on the balcony.
It's just that after Jiang Yuanheng came back, Shen Yuxin was really surprised when he looked at the big bags and small bags of things he was carrying, especially after seeing what Jiang Yuanheng was holding in his hand.
"You...... How did you come up with the idea of buying this? ”
Shen Yuxin looked at the yellow paper candles in the transparent plastic bag in Jiang Yuanheng's hand, as well as some other things used to go to the grave, her face was full of surprise, originally she thought that when they went, she would buy some on the road, but she didn't expect that Jiang Yuanheng would buy it back by himself.
Shen Yuxin's surprise was nothing else, but he thought that Jiang Yuanheng, a native of the city, was still the young master of the family, and he was a proper rich second generation, and there were no poor relatives in the family.
At least, as far as Shen Yuxin has seen, all of the Jiang family relatives are either rich or expensive, Jiang Yuanheng has several aunts, and even married the head of the military region, this huge family background, it is casually stomped on the foot, and the entire Z city will tremble.
This kind of family funeral must be far from the countryside, just the concept is different, let's just say that after this person died, Jiang Yuanheng and his family must have been sent to the crematorium to be burned, and then an urn was put up, and then a large price was bought in the cemetery to let the deceased rest in peace.
But the countryside is different, they are never willing to watch the bones of their relatives burned to ashes by fire, even if they are buried secretly, they have to preserve the bones of the deceased, but they advocate that the fallen leaves return to the roots, and when people die, the corpses must be buried in the ancestral land.
Therefore, Shuangshui Village has such a place, which has become a large circle of graves.
And the people here still follow the ancient method, setting candles, burning paper and setting off firecrackers to go to the grave, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is also a tradition, even if the government appeals, people just refuse to change.
Especially these people who guard the land for a living, they all remember these traditions in their bones, if it weren't for their persistence, it is estimated that the traditions and some customs of China will really disappear slowly.
Jiang Yuanheng saw the surprise on Shen Yuxin's face, and naturally understood Shen Yuxin's doubts.
Put down the things in your hand, put the breakfast on the table, go to the bathroom to wash your hands, and said to Shen Yuxin with a smile while setting the dishes and chopsticks.
"Xinxin, what's the matter, didn't I buy less things, these are all I checked from the Internet, but I don't think it's enough to buy these things, so I thought, our mother should like flowers, and then the flower shop bought a bouquet of flowers, our mother must like it."
Hearing Jiang Yuanheng say this, Shen Yuxin's heart suddenly warmed, not only did his heart warm, but his eyes were hot and swollen, and his nose was also a little sour.
He took a step forward, wrapped his hands around Jiang Yuanheng's thick quilt, put his face on his back, and was speechless for a long time.
She was really moved, last night, she thought Jiang Yuanheng was watching the news, who knows, Jiang Yuanheng was actually checking these things, and he bought all the things directly in the morning, Jiang Yuanheng was so careful, isn't it all because he loves her?
Thinking of this, how could Shen Yuxin not be moved?
"What, don't you think your husband is very good, and you especially want to make a promise?"
Jiang Yuanheng saw that Shen Yuxin had been stuck in himself and didn't speak at this time, so he knew that his behavior today must have moved Shen Yuxin to the core.
It's just that although he was very happy to see Shen Yuxin very moved, and it was even more comfortable to see his little woman take the initiative to hug him, but he didn't want to see Shen Yuxin's sad appearance, so he deliberately said something to ease the atmosphere, and amused his little woman by the way.
"Poof...... What nonsense! ”
Sure enough, Shen Yuxin was so moved that he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Jiang Yuanheng's inappropriate words.
In fact, Jiang Yuanheng's words are nothing when he hears them, and it is nothing when he listens to them, but it is not right to hear the "promise by body", and what Jiang Yuanheng says in his mouth is different from what he uses to allow others to speak.
Shen Yuxin knew that Jiang Yuanheng would sometimes say this when he turned him into bed, and he really had a little color!
Seeing that his little woman was happy as usual again, Jiang Yuanheng's eyes were also full of smiles, and the two finished eating affectionately, and went out hand in hand.
The countryside usually doesn't go to the grave in the morning, Shen Yuxin still decided to go in the afternoon, although the things have been bought, but it's nothing to put it down, Jiang Yuanheng bought a piece of cooked meat, and Shen Yuxin directly asked the people in the hotel to freeze it.
Other things are not expected to be bad, so the two of them didn't care much, and went out to shop first.
The main reason is that the weather is relatively cool today, the sky is cloudy, and the temperature has dropped a lot without the roasting sun.
However, looking at the weather today, it is estimated that a thunderstorm will not be able to run tomorrow.
There was actually nothing to see in the village, and what Shen Yuxin and they wanted to see was just a dilapidated old house.
It is better to say that it is an old house, but it is better to say that it is a wasteland, although there is still a house on the wasteland, but the house is really dilapidated.
This is still the house of Shen Yuxin's grandmother's house, grandma went, mother went, grandpa was long gone, and the second elder also left with this one daughter, so naturally there was no one in the family.
And his grandfather didn't have any relatives here, he originally fled from the famine, and then he took root in this Shuangshui Village and divided the land, but the old man had a hard life, he only had a daughter, and his body was thin, and Shen Yuxin's mother died when she was only a teenager.
Before that, it was also a medicine jar, and I couldn't do heavy work, but it dragged down my family.
After Shen Yuxin's grandfather died, he left Shen Yuxin's grandmother and mother to live a difficult life, which led to the fact that he met Shen's father who helped them later, and then he was extremely moved, and Shen An'an's mother fell in love and promised each other.
Speaking of which, as long as Shen Yuxin's grandfather is alive and has several sons under his knees, it is estimated that Shen's father may not be able to marry her mother, after all, it is easy to be moved when people are in trouble and suddenly extend a helping hand!
Especially for women, this emotion falls like a seed in the heart, and then takes root and sprouts, turning into a hazy feeling, which makes her ignore other things.
In fact, Shen Yuxin has always felt that even if a person hides it well, there are times when his true nature is exposed, just like Father Shen, even if he behaves kindly at that time, there should be some signs, Shen Yuxin doesn't believe that Father Shen, a person with such a strong sense of vanity, can always behave kindly and honestly.
It's just that at that time, whether it was Shen Yuxin's mother or Shen Yuxin's grandmother, they were extremely grateful to Shen's father who helped them all day, and Shen Yuxin's mother was in love with Shen's father, so she naturally ignored those bad points.
Seeing that the once familiar place has now become a ruin, it is false to say that it is not bitter, but Shen Yuxin also knows that even if it is sad, it is useless, his relatives have long been gone, and it has been twenty years since the time passed, everything has changed, and nothing can be returned.
However, it is precisely because time is passing and everything is changing that she can meet her lover and have a lovely child, so she should not be sentimental, she should be grateful, she knows that although her mother and her grandmother are gone, they have been watching her from heaven and bless her.
And she will also work hard to live and go to each day happily without letting them worry about herself.
At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them went to the grave with their things.
The wind was blowing in the woods, rolling up the fallen leaves and flying in the wind, Jiang Yuanheng carried the things that were used to go to the grave in one hand, and held Shen Yuxin's warm hand in the other, and walked towards the depths of the woods step by step.
The ground is thick with dead branches and leaves, and there is a creaking sound under your feet, and there are bursts of birdsong in your ears, which is very pleasant, Jiang Yuanheng walked, suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, and sighed: "Speaking of which, this place is much stronger than the cemetery, there are trees and birds, unlike in the cemetery, except for the stones, there is a big sun." ”
Shen Yuxin's mood was still a little heavy, but after Jiang Yuanheng made such a joke, he didn't feel anything.
