Lin Qingwan went to the base to check the information, here is the advanced experience record sorted out by the army, she has just advanced, or she has been promoted two levels in a row, and the realm seems to be a little unstable, and it needs to be strengthened.
Yi Han was not there, Fang Wen was also busy cultivating, and Lin Qingwan had to be self-reliant.
Fortunately, Minister Xu had been guarding against this day for a long time, and he was thinking that in the future, when the country would have monks who belonged completely to themselves, and they could not rely on the sect, how they would cultivate each other.
So I collected a lot of information, not only advanced experience summaries, but also some exercises and spells.
Minister Xu asked her to find out the relevant books a day earlier, and said very kindly: "Xiaolin, you have to work hard to cultivate and strive to contribute to the country as soon as possible." ”
Lin Qingwan responded dignifiedly, and only after watching Minister Xu leave did she sit down by the window with a book in her hand.
The dantian, which had been tense, slowly loosened, and the aura began to travel along the meridians throughout the body, Lin Qingwan turned the page, and memorized all the precautions on it in her mind, and then began to close her eyes and run the exercises to consolidate her cultivation.
It is said that just advanced, the dantian and meridians are full of spiritual energy, you can try to impact other closed meridians and acupoints, do not seek access, as long as you loosen some, the next advance will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
Lin Qingwan sat cross-legged on the chair and practiced until the afternoon, feeling much more relaxed, and then packed up her things and went home.
The soldier who was sitting in the car and drove her asked with a smile, "Chief Lin, tomorrow you have to go back to your hometown to sweep the grave, do you want me to send you?" ”
"Don't bother, I have a car at home."
"That's good, if you need to use a car to let me know in advance, I'll pick you up."
Lin Qingwan was a little ashamed, as if she hadn't done anything for the base since she joined the company, but she had enjoyed a lot of benefits.
Qingming sweeps the tomb, and some of the people in the base go back and some stay.
Zhong Daochang chose to go back, the base booked a ticket for him early in the morning, sent someone to send him to the airport, and the people who chose to stay also received the Qingming Festival gift, glutinous rice is indispensable, and the base also organized an activity to sweep the martyrs' cemetery for them to participate.
Of course, they are not ordinary martyrs, but monks who died during the Anti-Japanese War, Xiaomian and other non-human beings are not deeply touched, but Fang Wen and others want to participate, not only participate, but also copy scriptures and sacrifice.
Xiao Mian and the others also joined in the fun, anyway, there is a time every year, they are not Taoist priests, they are just onlookers, and they are tired of Fang Wen and others.
Early the next morning, Lin Qingwan packed up her things and waited for Lin Wenbo to pick them up.
This time they have to go to Suzhou, and it will take at least a week to go back and forth, so they have a lot of things to bring.
Lin Wenbo and the others planned to return to Beijing tomorrow, so they only brought a change of clothes and went on the road in a simple car.
In fact, if they change to a car, their family of five can leave by car without taking the high-speed rail, but Lin Su and Lin Qingwan didn't mention it, and Lin Wenbo didn't mention it.
Lin Chunjun came up to help with the luggage, and when he saw his sister, he called "sister" quite uncomfortably, and then lifted the suitcase and moved it down.
Qiao Meng waited below, greeted him with a smile on his face, and said, "The old man really doesn't want to go with us in the car?" ”
"No need," Lin Su lifted his eyelids and glanced at her and said, "The ticket has already been set, and it can't be refunded again." ”
Lin Chunjun hurriedly said: "Grandpa, I'll take the high-speed train with you, it's not easy for you to bring so many things." ”
To Lin Chunjun, Lin Su softened his face and said with a smile: "No need, just two suitcases, it's very easy." ”
Qiao Meng also hurriedly said: "Don't make trouble, you kid, now Qingming, the ticket is very difficult to set, you want to go together at this time, how can you buy a ticket?" Even if you buy it, you can't have a carriage, and it's useless for you to follow. ”
Lin Chunjun frowned, "The main thing is that it's inconvenient for the sister to carry two suitcases on and off the car, I just need to lift them up and down, and the carriages are all common, so I'll just look for them when the time comes." ”
Lin Su: "Okay, it's true that I can't book a ticket now, it's not too early, let's go." ”
Lin Qingjun pursed his lips, and Lin Qingwan reached out and patted him on the shoulder, he was in a better mood.
Lin Wenbo didn't say a word, silently sent them to the high-speed rail station, helped them push their luggage to the intersection, and listened to Lin Su's words and dragged his son away.
Lin Chunjun was a little uncomfortable and asked, "Dad, why don't we send grandpa to the station?" ”
"We still have to get on the highway, time is tight, and it's just a little bit of a road, and it's flat, they can drag their luggage through, you don't have to worry."
"But grandpa just been discharged from the hospital not long ago," Lin Chunjun didn't care about this kind of thing before, but since Lin Qingwan went to see him last time, he began to care about these things at home, and he was a little dissatisfied: "Grandpa is old, and my sister is a girl, how can the suitcase be so easy to take?" ”
Lin Wenbo ignored him and got into the lane: "This is a temporary parking, hurry up and get in the car." ”
Qiao Meng also said to him, "What are you making trouble with this kid, your grandfather and sister take the high-speed train back every year, do you need to worry?" We can't find the way on the highway, so we have to hurry up and go home tomorrow. ”
Lin Chunjun then remembered that he hadn't gone home to sweep the grave for many years, and every time he followed his mother back to his grandmother's house to sweep the grave.
He was stunned on the spot, and was pulled to the car by Qiao Meng before he came back to his senses, bowing his head silently.
Lin Qingwan was familiar with the way to take Lin Su to check the ticket, they were very accurate, and they slowly went up to the third floor just to start the ticket checking.
This trip, they have to take it several times a year, the time has long been thoroughly felt, what time to arrive at the station, how many minutes to start the ticket check, they are familiar with it.
Lin's hometown is not far from Beijing, get off the high-speed train, and then call a taxi, and it takes more than half an hour to reach the village on the edge of the city.
It is said to be a village, but the roads are wide and the fields are green, and it is full of life.
Rows of two-storey or three-story farmhouse courtyards, except for their rustic appearance, are no worse than villas in the city.
Especially after entering the small courtyard, there are melons and fruit vines entangled, and many people still use flower pots to grow various flowers.
As soon as Lin Qingwan entered here, she felt that her breathing was much lighter, and she couldn't help but look at her grandfather, and it happened that Lin Su also looked at her, and the grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled.
The taxi took them directly to the center of the village, stopping in front of a somewhat retro bluestone tile house.
Lin Qingwan hurriedly got out of the car, and only after helping Lin Su get out of the car did he go to move his luggage, and the family next door heard the movement and opened the door to see, and said in surprise: "Is the uncle back?" ”
Lin Su turned his head and said with a smile: "Yes, come back to sweep the tomb, what about your father-in-law?" ”
Lin Qingwan also greeted, "Aunt Hua." ”
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a few months, Qingwan has become beautiful again," Aunt Hua stepped forward to help her carry her luggage, and said with a smile: "Your third uncle and mother-in-law only asked me to clean the yard yesterday, saying that your grandfather and grandson will definitely come back today, but you will come back." ”
Lin Su would give them a sum of money every year and hire them to clean and tidy up the yard every once in a while.
"You clean up first, see what is missing and tell me, I will move you over, and I will eat at my house in the next two days, so as not to have to fire and cause more trouble." Aunt Hua put the box in the yard and said with a smile: "I'll go and call my in-laws back now, they must be happy." ”
"I'm sorry Aunt Hua." Lin Qingwan sent her out, and then opened the door to welcome the guests.
Now the most dilapidated and oldest house in the village is theirs, almost every family has built a building, usually two floors, and some families have built three floors.
Only the Lin family is still a blue brick house left by the ancestors.
The flowers and trees in the yard are well cared for, and it is just the time of spring when the flowers are blooming, and the flowers planted in the yard are blooming beautifully.
Lin Qingwan is very happy every time she comes back here, so sometimes even if it is not the New Year's holiday, she will come back to live with her grandfather for a while, especially during the winter and summer vacations.
Lin Qingwan moved her luggage to the room and put it, and after making the bed for her grandfather, she walked around the yard with Lin Su.
Lin Su went to the base of the wall in the backyard, pointed to a place and said: "In the past, this was a fence, surrounded by a vegetable patch, and there was a toilet over there, and the jade Ruyi was hidden under the fence by your grandmother." ”
Lin Su said with a smile: "At that time, I dug the pit, for fear that others would dig it, I dug very deep, and when I came back with your grandmother, I was afraid that someone would dig it up, but the situation was not decided at that time, and we didn't dare to dig it up to see the situation." Later, I also looked down, thinking that it was still not in the fate. ”
"Until I brought you in, you kid is too naughty, where can the fence yard keep you, and your grandmother and I discussed building the bluestone fence that was demolished before, so we secretly dug out the box." Lin Su said with a smile: "Your grandmother often said that this jade Ruyi can be hidden at that time, maybe it depends on your blessing." ”
Lin Qingwan was even more reluctant to let her grandfather sell it to Lin Chunjun for a down payment, she smiled: "That jade Ruyi is indeed blessed with me, with it by my side, I have cultivated faster." ”
Lin Su was pleased, "That's good, that's good." ”
The third uncle and the third uncle rushed back, and the two old men smiled and squinted, "The eldest brother is back, Qingwan is beautiful again." There's nothing here, go and sit down with me, I'll ask Ah Hua and his daughter-in-law to prepare some good dishes, and let's talk to each other. ”
Lin Qingwan saw the middle-aged man following behind him and said with a smile: "Uncle Hua." ”
Uncle Hua responded honestly and took the initiative to step forward to help Lin Su.
Lin Qingwan went to get a gift for the third uncle's family.
"You said you would come back when you came back, why do you take these things every time......" The third uncle took Lin Qingwan's hand and asked in a low voice while giving the things to Aunt Hua, "How did I hear that your father and your stepmother are also coming back?" ”
"Yes, they're on the highway, maybe a little late."
The third uncle snorted and said, "I haven't come back to sweep the grave for many years, if it weren't for your grandson, wouldn't your grave be overgrown with grass?" ”
For these old people, the two biggest festivals of the year, Qingming and the New Year, if Qingming does not come back to worship their ancestors, then the New Year does not have to come back.
Especially Lin Wenbo is still the only male in the Lin family, he doesn't come back every year, and the opinions of the clan are very big.
It's just that the clan doesn't have much power now, and the old people can only talk about their dissatisfaction, and they can't do anything to Lin Wenbo.
