Chapter 303: Qingming Up
During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.
It seems to really confirm this poem, from the beginning of the year, it has been drizzling one after another, although the rain is not heavy, but the continuous rain makes people feel a little damp. However, this rain really makes people feel the atmosphere of spring.
The spring rain moistens things silently, and the grass that has been hidden for a winter has somehow turned its small body green, covering the entire mountain village.
Hua Qingyan is changing the clothes of the two children, exactly the same plain clothes, it may be a little dull to change to others, but Wuwu and Xi'er are lined with red lips and white teeth, which is extremely cute.
"Mother, where are we going!" Xiao Xi'er tugged at her clothes, which she had never worn before. The clothes prepared by Hua Qingyan for the two children are all brightly colored, which just sets off the innocence of the children. It was the first time to wear clothes of such a white color, and Xi'er was a little curious.
"We're going to worship our ancestors, and Qingming has arrived." Worry-free, he reached out to help Xi'er smooth the corners of his clothes, and at the same time solved his sister's doubts.
"Ancestor worship?" Xi'er still doesn't understand.
Hua Qingyan took the hands of the two and said with a smile: "We are going to the back mountain to see grandma today, and grandma is grandpa's mother-in-law." ”
"Grandma?" Xi'er shuddered for a moment, obviously thinking of bad memories.
Hua Qingyan immediately understood, I was afraid that the Wen family had caused a shadow on Xi'er before. When her background was unknown, she took her two children to Lao Hua's house, didn't she recognize Wen as the children's grandmother. But this grandma is not competent, she has never had a little face to the children, and she scolds and scolds when she is drinking. Hua Qingyan felt uncomfortable, but she didn't know how to comfort these two children.
At this time, Wu Wu clenched his little fists and said loudly: "That Aunt Tiger is not our grandma!" No! ”
Aunt Tiger?!
Hua Qingyan froze in place, her eyes widened, and her face was full of incredulity. She never imagined that such words would come out of the mouth of the carefree and always steady and humble, which was simply amazing!
The sound of worry-free was not small, and the people who came in and out heard it, and they couldn't help but stop and look at it, wanting to see what was going on. They all know that the little master of the Hua family is very well-behaved, although he doesn't talk much on weekdays, he is extremely polite, and when he meets him, he will definitely call his uncle and uncle softly, and they are also very rare for the two children. I didn't expect their gentle little master to curse! For a while, everyone was a little curious, who made the little young master so popular?
"Come on, come on, don't be angry, that old pious woman is not qualified to let you call her grandma." Yu Jiamin smiled and handed a small basket to Wuwu, "Come and eat some snacks for the little master." ”
In the small basket is the Youth League specially made by Hua Qingyan for Qingming. Qingtuan is made by mashing mugwort leaves and kneading them with glutinous rice flour, which is embedded with cowpea paste, white sugar sesame seeds, and soybean flour as filling. The Youth League is indispensable in the Qingming Festival ancestral tribute. Hua Qingyan made a lot, took some to the grave, and left some at home for everyone to eat.
The graves in the backing mountain village are all in the same place, on the back mountain in the west, and they all go to the Western Elysium after death, so the dead are buried here. The West Mountain is not as big as the North Mountain behind the Hua family, because there are people coming all the year round, the number is not luxuriant, and there are often paths that are stepped out at the feet.
The Hua family is also a big family, with its own ancestral grave, and the Hua family is buried in one place after their death.
Lou Xuekite was also buried in Xishan, but not in the ancestral grave of the Hua family. Hua Qingyan felt ironic, Lou Xueyuan gave everything for the Lao Hua family, and was wrongfully killed in the end, but the people of the Lao Hua family did not let her enter the ancestral grave and did not recognize her identity as the daughter-in-law of the Hua family.
Although Wuwu and Xi'er are still young, Hua Qingyan didn't intend to tell them about things simplified, but the dirty things were ignored by Hua Qingyan, the children are still young, and they should know what they should know, but don't take out those things to dirty their young and pure hearts.
The already sensible carefree opened his mouth, and finally scolded with a snort: "It's really ...... Shameless! ”
Hua Qingyan: "......"
Hua Qingyan smiled, and the originally heavy mood instantly rained and cleared. The little guy is so cute, and every moment makes people laugh.
Hua Qingyan rubbed her worry-free head with her free hand: "It's okay, people are watching the sky, and the way of heaven is good reincarnation." Sooner or later, this kind of bad guy will be punished, and Xiao Wuwu just needs to watch. ”
Xiao Wuwu tugged on the corner of Hua Qingyan's hand, and nodded heavily. Hua Qingyan looked at his seriousness and wanted to smile again, she didn't know what Xiao Wuwu was thinking in her mind with a serious expression, but she was sure that Xiao Wuwu must be thinking about when those people would really be punished at this time.
There are many people who go up the mountain to worship their ancestors, and Hua Qingyan met several groups along the way. Because Hua Qingyan has brought a lot of income to the entire mountain village, the villagers have a very good attitude towards Hua Qingyan, and they began to greet them from afar, and chatted a few words when they got closer, and praised the two children for their good looks.
"Miss Qingyan came to the grave, she really has a heart!" He Zhong paused again after speaking, he suddenly remembered that Hua Qingyan's parents were not buried in this mountain village, so who did they worship when they came up to the mountain?
Zhou Lizheng and Mrs. Shen followed from behind, listened to it and looked at He Zhong's puzzled expression, shook his head and said softly: "Qing Yan is afraid that she is here to worship the Knowles, but it is her grandmother." ”
After such a reminder, everyone remembered that the person buried on the back mountain was almost forgotten. Many people looked at each other, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in their eyes. If someone hadn't mentioned it, they'd have forgotten about it. Because the Lao Hua family has been treating Knowles as a shame for so many years, they have never mentioned it. I have never seen anyone from the Lao Hua family go to Knowles's grave to worship.
Everyone sighed in unison, this old flower family is also a sin!
It didn't take long for everyone to disperse again, after all, it was on the mountain road, and it was not good for people to come and go at the intersection.
However, many villagers couldn't help but sigh as soon as they went home, and their families asked about meeting Hua Qingyan again. Although there are lonely graves in the back mountain, they are all gradually abandoned when there is no one at home. As for the Knowles, marrying into their backing village naturally has no one to take care of their mother's side, but they obviously have husbands and sons, but they have never seen them worship, and the grass on the grave is afraid that it is one person taller.
The older generation of people is also full of emotion, they actually heard about the Knowles back then, they don't know what happened that night, but Hua Qi is shocked and resentful, and the unspeakable humiliation makes people think about it. This Knowles stealing men is also the same as everyone else, and everyone is making money, even if it is not the truth, it has been passed on as the truth.
Knowles committed suicide in humiliation, with one corpse and two lives. Hua Qi was also disgusted with her, so she didn't give her a good coffin, and directly made a thin wooden coffin and buried her hastily. Now that I think about it, no matter what the truth is, this flower is incomparably cold.
Now it seems that Bo Liang is not only a flower, but the entire old flower family is a virtue.
It is also Hua Qingyan, this girl has a conscience, and she still remembers this grandmother.
Because she only knew a general direction, Hua Qingyan patiently searched for a long time before finding Lou Xueyu's grave. In a very remote corner, even close to the cliff. The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, and some of them were even taller than Hua Qingyan's height. There was also a large tree in the sky, and the foliage was so thick that it covered the top of the head.
The tombstone is very small, only as high as Sanssouci, and the words on it have been washed away by the wind and rain of the years.
Looking at the desolation in front of her, Hua Qingyan's heart became even more uncomfortable. Although she doesn't know Lou Xuekite's life experience, judging from those words and the jade pendants left by Lou Xuekite, she must be everyone's best girl. should have enjoyed everything in fine clothes and food, and it should have been loved by thousands of people, but in the end, he was reduced to this small mountain village, not to mention, and suffered a lot of humiliation and torture. Hua Qingyan felt that Lou Xueyuan was not worth it.
Hua Qingyan sighed and found a safe place for the two children to sit on the stone and wait for a while. There were not many of them coming, Hua Qingyan had her two children, and she also brought Hua Biluo and Yu Jiamin. Hua Qingyan and Yu Jiamin each began to clean up the weeds around the grave with a sickle, but Hua Biluo wanted to help but was sent to hold an umbrella for the two children.
The weeds are very deep, Hua Qingyan has not done this work, and after a while, her hands were blistered by the sickle, and there was some pain between movements, but Hua Qingyan didn't care. Although the rain was not heavy, the clothes on the two of them gradually became a lot wetter. Hua Biluo was a little anxious on the side, wanting to hold an umbrella for them, but she couldn't ignore the two children.
Halfway through the cleanup, the Hu family came, and Hu Qing came over with Sun Wanyun and Hu Baizhi. Seeing Hua Qingyan from a distance, their steps sped up a little faster.
"Alright, let me go." Hu Qing snatched the sickle from Hua Qingyan's hand, and his tone was unquestionable.
"Uncle Hu, Aunt Yun, you're here!" Hua Qingyan was indeed tired, so she didn't take it anymore, and pulled Sun Wanyun and Hu Baizhi to the children, Hua Biluo hurriedly opened an umbrella and hit Hua Qingyan's head.
Hua Qingyan took the umbrella and pushed Hua Biluo forward: "Biluo went to hold an umbrella for Uncle Hu and Jia Min, the weather is still a little cold, don't wet your clothes and catch a cold." ”
Hua Biluo didn't say a word, but Hua Qingyan was grabbed by Sun Wanyun and took out a coat from the package on the side and put it on to Hua Qingyan: "What about others, look at yourself, you're soaked!" How good are you when you think your body is that you forgot about the time when you were lying in bed and couldn't get out of bed? ”
was counted down by Sun Yunyun, Hua Qingyan smiled awkwardly. It's been a long time since she couldn't get out of bed, and that was when she just came to fight to the death with the old Hua family. I haven't seen myself sick or anything for so long, Hua Qingyan thinks that her body is not bad. But it's better not to refute the words of the elders.
After training Hua Qingyan, Sun Wanyun's eyes fell on the lonely grave, and sighed: "We have come to see her all these years, but we don't dare to go too far." When I first came to the mountain village, I thought that I would use the Yaozong brothers to set up with the old Hua family or something, but later I felt that the old Hua family's behavior was really problematic, so I didn't say that we and Yaozong were good brothers. Even coming to see Knowles deliberately avoided people. ”
"After so many years, she has also suffered." Sun Yunyun took Hua Qingyan's hand and patted it, "Fortunately, you are back, fortunately, you and your father have a conscience." ”
