Old mansions

Soon, the car stopped in front of a small hotel in F Town under the command of my aunt. The same city is only a county-level city, and the small towns and villages under its jurisdiction are not very big, and the town of F is said to be a town, but in fact it is not as big as an ordinary village, and it is currently a small town, but it has been planned as a village before she is reborn.

This town is still the appearance that Su He is familiar with, when she was in elementary school and junior high school, this is a big place in her heart, when she was a child, what she wanted most was that her parents could take her here to play, but the most in the back was with her classmates, because her parents have been working, and they want to rest when they are on vacation, and it is very rare to come out to play.

It was already noon when the room was opened and the luggage was put down, but everyone had no appetite, so they had a casual bite to eat in the hotel.

"Let's rest first, and then we'll go to the old house in the afternoon to have a look," said Wai Gong.

Everyone has no opinions, and it takes two hours to sit on a plane and two hours to take a car in the morning, which is a bit unbearable.

Grandparents have a room, and Su He is in a room with his aunt. Lying on the bed, although Su He was very tired, he couldn't sleep. I have the impression that the anniversary of L Village is a very important day, and although there is no difference in each place, the neighboring villages should be similar.

In my memory, on the anniversary, the children needed to skip meat dishes, comb their hair, and take a bath during that week, and go to worship before noon on the day of their death. You can burn paper, gold ingots, silver ingots, and some have good home conditions, and they will also burn paper houses for the elderly. It also needs to be offered, steamed buns are indispensable, as well as food, that is, snacks and fruits, as well as pigs, sheep and cattle meat, and a bowl of braised pork is simply ordered.

In the format of placement, it is generally placed according to the quantitative relationship of three or multiples of three. For example, there are at least three fruits on a plate, or six, nine, etc., and you must not put one or two at random. And the plates to be offered should be three, or six, and so on.

Maybe people who have lived in the city for a long time don't pay attention to these, but in the old place of Su He's hometown, they pay attention to these things. If you don't care about this, if you don't do it well, those villagers in front of you won't say anything, and you'll be poked in the back by someone.

Even Su He, a younger generation, knows about it, and of course his grandparents also know it. So after resting, she told Su He what she should pay attention to, that is, what Su He remembered, not combing her hair, not taking a bath, and not eating meat dishes. Everyone was quite relieved about Su He, and after saying a few words, they didn't repeat it repeatedly.

For these, of course, Su He will abide by them one by one, whether it is because Su's father and mother look the same as her parents, as well as the love for the original owner in her memory, or because of the desperate effort to protect Su He immediately at the critical moment. Relative to these, what is Su He's doing. Thinking of Su's father and Su's mother, Su He's heart still hurts, but he can no longer show it on his face, and it has taken a year to hide these pains in his heart.

In the afternoon, my grandfather's schedule was to see the old house before, and then go to the tomb of Su's father and mother tomorrow. Because there is also a saying here that it is before three o'clock in the afternoon to go to worship and sweep the tomb, and now it is obviously too late.

It is still a chartered car to go to F Village, because F Village is more partial, and now the bus has not yet arrived.

The more the car drove, the more desolate it became, first the concrete road crossroads, followed by a dirt road, probably the recent rain, and the road was full of potholes. The driver was reluctant to run when he saw this road, and he was willing to add money. After all, at this time in this place, there are still relatively few cars, and this is relatively rare.

My aunt was the last to get off the car, and paid a lot of money to let the driver wait to send them back, after all, there is no way to rest at night here, and it is not easy to find another car, and you may not be able to know the road if you find it. Just now, my grandfather pointed it all the way.

Su He stood beside the old mansion and looked around. This place has never appeared in memory, and the original owner has never been here.

If it weren't for the rice planted around it, this old house would seem to be built on a barren mountain. There is only this one house around, the house is quite large, but you can see that the wall in the back is recessed, which should be the location of the kitchen that my grandfather said, and there is a large area of ruins on the side.

"The school has also moved, yes, it's been so many years" Standing in front of the old house, my grandfather also sighed a little, I was in a hurry last time, and I didn't have time to look at these, "Yingying, your grandfather studied here when he was a child"

"Is this here" Su He pointed to the ruins, this time has been too devastation, only the scum remains.

"Well, this has been around for hundreds of years," my grandfather explained when he saw Su He's astonishment.

"Oh," Su He understood.

Walking into the old house, it can be seen that although the house is made of soil culture, it is still relatively exquisite. Because when my grandparents left, they only took away some of their belongings, and did not take away the large pieces of furniture, so these things are still here, but they are already full of dust, and there are a lot of cobwebs around the house.

Su He felt that his nose was a little itchy, but he really couldn't hold back and sneezed.

"Let's go out, I haven't lived in it for twenty or thirty years, and the smell is a bit big" Grandpa patted Su He's shoulder, "And it is quite dangerous that there has been no maintenance for so many years"

"Good" everyone has no opinion, in fact, in addition to the grandfather's deep memory, even the grandmother is not very familiar with this old house. When my grandmother married my grandfather, my grandfather was a lecturer at a university, and they all lived in other places, so when my grandfather's parents were there, they came back for the Chinese New Year, and when they came back to worship, they didn't live here. When I was young, I didn't feel it, but when I got old, I often recalled when I was young, and I also felt a feeling for the old house I remembered.

Out of the house, my grandfather stood in front of the old mansion and was silent for a long time, and no one bothered him.

"Let's go back to the hotel, it's late" The road to turn east and west, and the driver doesn't know the road, and the speed is not fast. Originally, it didn't come out early, and after such a long delay, it was summer when the days were long and now the sun was about to set.

On the way back, everyone saw that Grandpa was in a bad mood and didn't speak. In silence we arrived at the hotel.

"Rest early, go to worship tomorrow," Grandpa said before parting from Aunt Su He.

"Good"
