Chapter 284: Moving the Ancestral Grave
The summer vacation of the fourth grade has passed like this, and Qiangshun is quite "sensible", and he didn't play with water or take a bath during the summer vacation. Read the novel to the net
After the summer vacation, after the start of school, we were promoted to fifth grade.
This fifth grade, I felt like a big kid at that time, except for the sixth grade, the fifth grade can completely sweep the campus.
Those things in the fifth grade, to be honest, I seem to have forgotten almost everything, why, because of me, I'm familiar with this relatively early, at this time, I have deeply liked a female classmate in our class, and the rest of those memories have been diluted by her figure, and the rush is a blur, and she is left.
My story with her is long, long, more than ten years long. Don't say we're childhood sweethearts.,At least it's two little guesses.,We've been at the same table since kindergarten.,This is what she said herself.,I don't remember I went to kindergarten.。
The two of us often do small actions in class together, I don't know how she feels at the time, I feel very happy with her, I feel very happy with her, it feels different from when Qiang Shun Mingjun and them are together, I am very willing to sit with her, always peek at her every day.
It seems that it was in this year that I also took her hand, she lowered her head at the time, her face was red, very shy, she pulled it unintentionally, I was a serious child, not so rogue.
Her cute appearance, I still remember it vividly, and now, in addition to nostalgia, it is heartache, I can only look at our junior high school graduation photo and touch her face in the photo......
Let's not talk about her, the days in this book are still long, and she will occupy a part of my experience little by little in the future, after all, two or three of the more than 40 diaries I have in the past were written for her, and I originally wanted to show her one day, who knows......
Remember, our elementary school moved in this year, in the second half of the year. The original primary school was a compound, a little north of the original crossroads in our village, and there were several simple big tiled houses inside, I don't know how many years, and the roof still leaked when it rained.
In the second half of the fifth grade, the new primary school was completed, the two-story teaching building, the windows in the classroom are big and bright, the walls are white and neat, the desks and benches are all brand new, the most important thing, when it rains, it no longer leaks, when it rains, the teachers are no longer afraid that the classroom will collapse, and we don't have to run out of the classroom to get out of the rain, but there is a little bit of a bad thing, our classroom is on the second floor, in winter, we can no longer stomp our feet to keep warm. In the old school, the classroom was leaking rain and wind, and it was so cold in winter, so the teacher took us to stomp our feet to keep warm.
Our new school is located in the northernmost part of our village, which used to be our team's vegetable field, but after the construction of the primary school, our team's vegetable field has been reduced a lot.
When we first moved in, there was no backyard, that is, there was no back playground, and there was a vegetable patch in the back, and the students went to destroy the vegetables in other people's fields after class.
It didn't take long for the backyard to be encircled, but after the backyard was encircled, there was a situation that made our family helpless, because the backyard of the school also encircled our ancestral grave, and my grandfather, my grandmother, and my grandfather's graves were all encircled in the backyard of the school.
There is also a big tree growing next to my grandfather's grave, my grandmother said that it is a "Tang willow tree" (homonym), the tree has lush branches, waist thickness, long and particularly shady, in the spring, the tree is full of white flowers, in the autumn, it bears a kind of fruit about the size of the red in the mountains, it looks like a small persimmon, but the fruit is not edible, it is hard and astringent. My mother said that after grafting this "Tang willow tree" with a persimmon tree, it will be able to grow real persimmons, and it will be ready to eat when the time comes. However, no one dared to touch the tree that grew on my grandfather's grave.
Not long after the backyard of the new school was fenced, the village cadres came to my father and asked my father to move the grave, and my father and my grandmother also wanted to move the grave out so that the ancestor could be with a group of bear children. So, my dad found someone to move out my grandfather's grave.
I remember that the day of the grave was moved was a Sunday, and our whole family and Wang Sihe's family were all here, by the way, and the old guy who was blind Chen, the old guy was in charge of looking at the new cemetery.
When digging the old grave to seal the mound, my grandmother, Chen Blind, and a group of women stood in the distance, and at this time did not let the women go forward, this has two theories, one is that the woman's physique is yin, and the filth that comes out of the old grave after digging up has a great impact on the woman; The second is that I am afraid that if I happen to meet a woman who is menstruating, menstruation will wash away the dead in the grave.
I was also standing in the distance, standing next to my grandmother, when I heard Chen ask my grandmother, "Brother and sister, your grandson is also a teenager, right?" ”
My grandmother replied, "It's eleven years old, no, it's standing next to me." As she spoke, my grandmother pulled my arm and pushed me to Blind Chen.
When the blind man heard the voice, he first pulled the bamboo pole in his hand and knocked it on my leg, and after determining my position, he suddenly raised his hand, and the old claw like a chicken paw touched my head and said, "This grandson is not easy to raise when he is a child, right?" ”
As soon as I heard this, I raised my head and glanced at Chen Blind, why did he feel so awkward when he heard this, you are a grandson.
My grandmother said, "This kid just cried when he was a kid, and he cried endlessly. ”
The old guy smiled, and said in a special way: "It's good to cry, the crying sound of the hour is a hundred miles, and the sky is roaring when it's big." ”
Grandma was very happy to hear this, and smiled with Chen Blind.
I don't know what this old guy is talking about at this time, I rolled my eyelids and looked at him like that, Chen Blind was about eighty years old at this time, but he looked a few years older than my grandmother, which may have a lot to do with him marrying a young daughter-in-law.
Chen Blind is wearing a clean Mao suit today, with a big back, the back is mainly because the hair in front of him has fallen out, he can't do it if he doesn't carry it, the sharp and thin cheeks and cheekbones are very high, the skin is dark, the lips are thin, and the nose is a little hooked, looking at it feels like the traitor in the movie, a pair of eyes that are almost squinting together, and you can vaguely see the crazy white-eyed Ren'er inside, standing next to the broken bamboo pole, and the end of the hand is wrapped with a strip of red cloth, which rubs his hair black and shiny, maybe because he has a bad relationship with my grandfather, My grandfather's grave move was a big deal for him, and he had a brand new pair of mille-feuille shoes on his feet.
Blind Chen then asked my grandmother, "Brother and sister, have you passed on all these skills to him?" ”
My grandmother said, "If you can teach me everything, you will send him the Fa." ”
Chen Blind smiled and said, "Your grandson is really good, a natural genius, I really envy you, blind brother." As he spoke, Chen Blind changed the conversation and said, "Otherwise, brother and sister, put aside those in your family first, and I will teach him these things on me first." ”
My grandmother was not happy when she heard it, so she couldn't see the expression on my grandmother's face, and my grandmother shirked and said: "These crafts in our family will be enough for him in the future, and if you learn from you, I'm afraid he will have a short life, so I think it's better to forget it." ”
Chen Blind smashed his mouth when he heard this, and said nothing more.
At that time, the state's policy was not to allow big deals, especially for white things, and the management was particularly strict, and at that time, burying people had to be buried secretly at night, so the ceremony of moving the grave to my grandfather was simple and hasty, for fear that people from the countryside would call the bones to be cremated.
In advance, my dad prepared a good coffin for each of the three of them. After the grave was opened, the coffin before them was basically rotten, and the family was poor and had no money to buy a good coffin, and my grandmother felt uncomfortable when she saw the rotten coffin board, and she knelt on the ground and cried.
After the coffin board was pried open, except for my grandmother, or all the women avoided it, my grandmother first knelt on the grave to burn incense, burn paper money, kowtow, and then asked my father to jump into the coffin with a red cloth, and picked up my grandfather's bones one by one into the red cloth, and after taking them out of the coffin, they were placed on the head of the coffin of the new coffin in turn, and then my grandmother burned incense and paper one by one, and then took our children and grandchildren to kowtow and worship. In fact, these things are all done by Chen Blind on the side, and my grandmother also did what he said, and in the end, even Chen Blind also kowtowed to my grandfather one by one, when he knocked in front of my grandfather's bones, this eighty-year-old man actually burst into tears, I have always had a bad impression of Chen Blind, but this incident has always kept me in mind.
After kowtowing, my father put my grandfather's bones in their original positions and put them into a new coffin. My grandfather was still young when he died, his bones were still intact, my grandmother's was not bad, my grandfather's was not good, those finger bones or something, they broke at the slightest touch, because of this, my dad was counted down by my grandmother, and in the end there was no way, and the ones that couldn't be picked up were put into the new coffin together with the sawdust and soil in the rotten coffin.
The former heroes and dragon-slaying heroes, in the end, are just a piece of loess.
The new cemetery was chosen by Blind Chen in a field in the north, and the coffins of the grandfather and grandmother were buried next to each other, and the coffin of the grandfather was behind them. Blind Chen said that there is no feng shui treasure land in our village, and this cemetery can only ensure that our family does not cause trouble. At this point, let's say one more thing, didn't the wheat field in our village catch fire a few days ago, and the fire stopped when it reached our ancestral grave. I didn't know it at first, but when I went to see it the next day, I saw that the ashes stopped at our ancestral grave, and it seems that the aura of the ancestors is still there.
The relocation of our family's grave is just a small episode, but I can't help but talk about it, and let my future generations know about it in the future.
Now, let me tell you about an incident that happened when I was in fifth grade.
I remember that it was almost winter, the weather was a little cold, and I was wearing sweaters. This afternoon, my dad was welding things in the welding shop, my dad's welding shop was very small, just used to put tools, everything was welded on the side of the road. At this time, a group of people came to the east of the village, and there were more than a dozen of them, one of whom was driving a donkey cart, and the others gathered around the donkey cart and walked west along the road.
When the donkey cart came to my father's welding shop, my dad had just finished the work in hand, he straightened up and looked at the donkey cart, there was a person lying down, because there were carts on both sides of the donkey cart, and the person couldn't see who it was because the cart was blocked, and my dad only saw her two legs and shoes, and it was a woman. My dad probably knew all the people around the donkey cart, all of them were from our village, and it is estimated that the woman in the cart should also be from our village.
The donkey cart quickly walked past my father's welding shop, and at this time, my father heard someone on the side of the road whispering that the woman in the car was on the way to her mother's house, and she had fallen into an evil ......
