Chapter Eighty-Nine: Genealogy
Jian Hao is not a person who talks nonsense, although he is bad, he belongs to the righteous people among the gangsters. Here, Jian Jie's mother called Jian Du and asked him to take a look at the second uncle's corpse, saying that the second uncle had been roasting dry, but he didn't expect the corpse to swell up, his stomach was big, and his uncle had the courage to shake it, it was all the sound of water!
The old people in the village gathered outside the house, and they all said that the cause of the second uncle's death was not in vain, and he was killed by a water ghost.
"What a thing!" Jian Jue's mind was in a mess, "It's normal for corpses to have flatulence!" And the second uncle was originally drowned, and there was already water in his stomach! The police have checked it, why are you still in trouble? Wait for me! ”
When Jian Hao heard it, he was going to go, but he was very puzzled: "Brother Duel, don't you just eat superstitious food, why don't you believe in these things compared to us?" ”
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I don't want to be involved in these things in my daily life. Also, many things cannot be concluded by saying a word of evil, he does have a scientific basis. I was only exposed to unknown theories, and my awe was greater than random superstition. ”
"I'm a college student, but I don't understand either." Jian Hao said directly, "Let's go, I'll send you over on a battery car." ”
When I arrived at the morgue, it was also the former Jane family ancestral hall. There are two courtyards respectively, the inner house is very spacious, and it has been modified, and it was once a Yizhuang. The outer courtyard used to be inhabited, and it was the former long-term worker of the Jian family left by the older generation, called Wang Jingui.
The Jian family was indeed a landlord before, and the landlord's grave still set up a sign of intangible cultural heritage, which was issued by the county. Later, the family property was divided equally for political reasons, and Jian Du's family was only the family of the former big landlord, and Jian Du's ancestors were able to have a little kinship with the big landlord.
Jian decided to enter the door, and his mother ran over, "Forget it, son, don't go and see, it's not good." ”
"I'd better go and take a look, or you won't have any ideas, and one day you will spread rumors. The water ghosts are all making trouble, and in a few days it will be the birthday of the River Dragon King, so where do you dare to make trouble? Jian Jue said.
Uncle walked out, he was very haggard these days, and he didn't sleep well a day. He was alone in a coat and was squatting on the threshold and smoking.
The second aunt just came over, and she brought a few people.
As soon as they opened their mouths, they greeted the other relatives affectionately, and then explained that they had a genealogy in their hands, and they used to be members of the Jane family, but later because of the war, a large family divided a group of people and fled. Listening to the accent, they are still southerners, and they say that they come from the area of Zhejiang.
This time the Jian Jue family was completely blinded, where did the relatives come out?
However, looking at the family tree, Jian Jue saw the previous typesetting of the Jian family: the heart is angry, the mind is high, the ambition is far away... His ancestors happened to be ranked with the word "Li", that is, Jian Liyun.
Jian Jue didn't speak, and he didn't care about these things. Only his uncle and parents were chatting with them and asking them what they were doing. Those people also said that because of work reasons, they found Jian Wei, the second uncle of Jian Du, and it was also fate. They had made an appointment to fill in the family tree today, and in the final analysis, everyone is a family.
"I didn't expect it", the tall middle-aged man in the lead said with a crying voice: "According to the seniority, I still have to call Jian Wei brother, but I didn't expect that my brother's life is not good, and I left my sister-in-law alone." ”
"Okay, okay, let's stop the tears, don't talk about it. It is enough for us to know your heart. Uncle stepped forward to hold the middle-aged man's hand, "What do you call brother, I am Jian Wei's cousin, and my surname is Yang." ”
"Brother Yang is good, Brother Yang is good." The others shouted.
The second aunt didn't dare to go in to see her husband, she was still crying.
Jian Jue was a little moved by her for a while, to be honest, her aunt had to do business alone, and she had to take care of her little cousin who was still in kindergarten.
It seems that she hasn't told her cousin about this yet, and the cousin is too young. Jian Jie's younger brothers and sisters are all young, only his parents got married early, and they had Jian Du at the age of 20. Therefore, the burden of the family, Jian decided to resist the earliest.
All this warmth and coldness in the world is like a commonplace for Jian Decision, this one will go, and that one will not stay. Anyway, my parents are soft-hearted, if the second aunt has any difficulties in the future, they have to call Jian to honor her. And the second aunt will also accept it with a scolding grin, and the second half of Jian Decision will not be easy.
Jane lit a cigarette and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Those foreign uncles asked Jian Jie: "Who is this little handsome guy....?" ”
"This is my son, Jian Jue."
"Good name, good name! Be decisive! ”
"His grandmother took it." My mother talked to those people.
"We wanted to discuss when to invite the people of the village to have a meal together, and then we entered the family tree. - Indifferently, I'm afraid it won't work these days. ”
Jian decided to ask the old man who was keeping vigil in the village, how was the house? The old man shook his head, "It stands to reason that drowning people are a little swollen, and we know it, but we shouldn't have so much flatulence overnight.... We have seen so many corpses, usually in a few days and days, and he is a little early. ”
"I don't understand this, I mean, the police come and see, are there any external injuries?" Jian Jue thought of this and asked.
"The police said that only the head and feet had bump marks, because they had fallen into the water and hit the head, and there was water in the abdomen.... If you rule him out, it's okay to kill him.... The old man replied truthfully that he had been invited by a neighboring village to come and watch over him, and that he should have come yesterday, but yesterday he went home to fetch the cotton wool.
Jian Hao has always refused to come in, and since he had an accident as a child, he no longer dares to touch things related to dead people. He was smoking a cigarette across the road, and Jian Jue walked over, "Hey, there are a few people who recognize relatives, and they say that they are completing the family tree." ”
Jian Hao smiled, "Dog, do you have me and the third baby?" ”
Xiao Sanwa is his younger brother, who doesn't go to school on weekdays, and he also follows him all day long. Now that the junior is more sensible, he went to the town to learn technology.
"The one who dares not to write your Jian Hao's name, you are afraid that you will tear his family tree apart." Jane made fun of him.
"You don't talk about that." Jian Hao waved his hand, not taking it seriously.
Jian Jue said seriously: "Xiao Sanwa followed to learn technology, why don't you go together?" ”
"Go to a hammer, those masters have a weird temper, I don't want to stay after two days. I told my old man that when I got married, I would go out and do business with the good guys. ”
"Huh?" Jian Jie's eyes widened, "You're getting married?" ”
Jian Hao immediately took out his mobile phone, "Come, show you my mother-in-law, beautiful, I used to be in the same class." She also didn't study anymore and worked in a clothing store in town, and I recognized her as soon as I went. My mother and her mother have already met, and they said okay, you have to come when I get married. - Why don't you play a girlfriend in the city? At the end, Jian Hao asked Jian Du strangely.
"Not interested." Jane decided to continue smoking.
"Yes." Jian Hao also smoked a cigarette, and the two of them didn't speak again until the Jian family from Zhejiang came out.
"Come out, where do they live?" Jian Hao rode his battery car, Jian decided to sit in the back seat, and asked him to follow and have a look.
Those people came out with their uncle, got into two cars together, and Jian Jue's parents also went together.
And Jian Hao and Jian Jue followed behind on a battery car, passing by their aunt's house, and Huahua saw Jian Jue and Jian Hao from afar, running all the way from the other side of the field.
Jian Hao laughed and said, "Silly dog! Let's pick up Lao Tzu's car! ”
Huahua chased for a while and then didn't chase it, and pulled this tail back. Jian Jue saw his grandfather and grandmother sitting at the door of his aunt, and his grandfather was really good, and he was still killing chickens in the yard!
"My day, Jian Du, that's my fourth grandfather! Didn't you say that he had a heart attack and had surgery, and the doctors said it wouldn't be a long time? Why are you in such good health now? And caught a chicken and killed himself? Jian Hao also saw it.
The wind in the back seat was very strong, Jian Jue had to squint, his hair was all messed up, and he had to speak loudly: "I don't know, maybe it's a good life... Or maybe the surgery was successful! Anyway, as long as you are in good health! ”
After riding for a while, they saw that the Jian family from Zhejiang went to the local restaurant in the town, and it turned out that they were invited to eat at noon today.
"I knew I was going with me." Jian Hao glared and swallowed.
"You're hungry, I'll invite you to dinner." Jian Jue grabbed Jian Hao's shoulder, "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant next door." ”
"What are they doing?" Jian Hao asked Jian Decision.
Jian Du recalled the content of their previous conversation, "It may be to hold a ceremony like a genealogy, that is, to integrate their generations and ours into a genealogy...., so we are discussing this matter." ”
Jian Jue ordered a plate of back pot meat for Jian Hao, a boiled pork slices, a plate of vegetarian vegetables and tomato soup. Jian Hao shouted comfort, ate a few large bowls, and after eating, he burped and said that Jian was righteous enough.
"I'll treat you next time!" Jian Hao said.
"No, you can accompany me to see my grandfather, that is, your fourth grandfather. I'll go see your father in a while, it's my third uncle, aunt, I haven't seen it for a long time. It just so happens that I don't have someone to accompany me. "I don't know why, Jian Jue will feel more relaxed with someone like Jian Hao.
Jian Hao once again rode his bicycle to see Jian Jue to see his grandparents. When grandma looked at Jian Hao, her eyes lit up with joy, "Ouch! Hao Haowa, she has grown so big! So tall, let's see, which one is taller between you and your brother? After saying that, the grandmother stood up and made a gesture to the two brothers.
"When you grow up, you're going to get married!" Jian Jue laughed.
Grandma smiled when she heard this, "Competent, capable, Jian Hao is going to be in charge." ”
This compliment, Jian Hao was embarrassed. Granny Zhang came out of the back kitchen and said, "Jian Jue, your grandfather has a good appetite, he made a fuss about eating chicken early this morning, and asked me to cut a few catties of meat to cook at night." ”
"You don't need it, just make a meal." Grandma sighed, and turned to Jian Jue and said, "Your grandfather is in better spirits, but he just doesn't talk to people." Go and call him - old man Jane! You won't look back when your grandson comes? ”
Jian Jue and Jian Hao went to call Grandpa, at this time, Grandpa, who was plucking the chicken, turned his head slightly, he stared at Jian Jue, that look, as if he didn't know Jian Jue at all, when he was a stranger.
And the chicken in Grandpa's hand was covered in blood, and one of Grandpa's hands was covered with bloody chicken feathers. He was still plucking, and the chicken actually "cooed".
"Eh, fourth grandfather, your chicken hasn't died yet." Jian Hao felt that something was wrong, and he went to call the old man.
Grandpa turned his back, and the devil was still plucking chicken feathers, ignoring the screams of chickens. On the ground was a puddle of chicken blood, and the chicken's neck was twisted and pinched in Grandpa's hands. "Eat.... Eat..... Eat chicken. Grandpa began to babble.
Jian Hao looked at Jian Jue, who was frowning and looking straight at his grandfather who was squatting on the ground.
"Jane," Granny Zhang patted him, "Your grandfather may be angry with you, he said that he went out early in the morning and tripped over the incense you put at the door, you said you are fine, why do you put three incense sticks at the door?" ”
"My grandfather....? Tripping over incense? Jian Jue confirmed to Granny Zhang, "Really." ”
"He scolded fiercely early in the morning, and when I went to look, I saw your grandfather on the ground, but he was in good shape, and he got up again."
Jian Jue laughed in disbelief, his eyes were also very wrong, I saw him squat down and pat his grandfather on the shoulder: "Okay, you can eat chicken if you always want... Delicious, I'm leaving. ”
Jian Du told her grandmother that she was going to see her uncle and aunt, and her grandmother nodded, come back early, and the two brothers should pay attention to safety.
But Jian Jue said to Jian Hao: "Go back, take me to the Jian family ancestral hall, I want to take a look." ”
