Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 104 February Ancestral Temple Taisha 3

When Wu Yong and Wu Ao's father and son returned to Fuwangli together, Zhu Lidian and his party had already returned to Lizhong, waiting for them to come back for a while. At this time, they were sharing what they had seen and heard in their ancestral land.

When they reached the door, Zhu Lidian saw them and asked, "Why did you come back so late, but what tricky things happened?" ”

Wu Pu hurriedly replied: "Uncle, you don't know what happened to the Wu family's ancestral land, Wu Yong has earned a lot of face for us this time." ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly quieted down, and Zhu Lidian hurriedly asked what was going on.

Wu Pu recounted everything that had just happened in the ancestral land. Then he talked about it again, and everyone present was stunned, and it was probably the most important thing in his life that he thought was the most worthy of showing off in his life.

After hearing this, everyone looked at Wu Yong strangely, especially some children worshiped Wu Yong so much. No one expected that Wu Yong would become so outstanding now.

The people around cast curious eyes, and Wu Yong was very uncomfortable being stared at by so many people.

Fortunately, there are still important things to do today, and Zhu Li pawn immediately announced the end of the ancestral shrine, and everyone can go to the graves of the ancestors of each family to pay respects.

Nowadays, due to the rapid increase in population, in emerging townships like Fuwangli, where many surnames live together, there is no longer a group ancestral cemetery, but when someone dies, a feng shui treasure is chosen to bury the ancestors in their own fields.

Now the villagers in Fuwang are also the ancestors of each family.

At the same time, this is not the same as it used to be.

Because of the recent existence of Wu Yong in Fuwangli, everyone seems to have been reborn.

In the past, at this time, the villagers did not have much grain in stock, so they borrowed grain from the main family during the ancestral sacrifice.

This year is different, during this time, everyone has almost earned a year's income just by selling steamed buns.

Therefore, the people in Fuwang firmly believe that it is the ancestors of their family who are protecting them, and everyone is particularly concerned about the ancestors of this memorial service.

It took a long time for each family to prepare for this event, and the leeks and eggs were sacrifices to the ancestors in the past.

This time, there are more steamed buns in the offering, which is a clear proof of the prosperity of Fuwangli, and it also opens the eyes of the ancestors who have passed away.

And today is undoubtedly the most glorious day in the lives of Wu Yong's grandmother and mother so far. Because Wu Yong brought prosperity to Fuwangli, the villagers were very grateful to the Wu family.

Therefore, before every family wants to go to the memorial service, they will come to the Wu family to thank them. Some families even let their children kowtow to Wu Yong's grandmother to express their gratitude.

In the constant gratitude of the villagers, Wu Yong's family was the last to go out. Everyone went to pay tribute to their ancestors, and at this time, the whole Fuwang seemed very quiet.

Because the cemetery of the Wu family is almost ten kilometers away from Fuwangli, in order to take care of the female dependents of the family, Wu Yong borrowed an ox cart from the villagers in advance.

When she was about to arrive at the cemetery, Wu Yong's grandmother said that she would get out of the car and insisted on walking over.

The people had no choice but to follow her with the sacrifices she wanted.

In fact, the cemetery of the Wu family is at the foot of Funiu Mountain, not far from the camp of the homeless people.

Their movements at this time had already alarmed the group of displaced people on the other side of the camp, but the displaced people also knew that today was special, so only Yang Ji came to greet them.

Of course, the Wu family also knew that there was a group of homeless people who were arranged by Wu Yong to settle in their own fields, so when they saw Yang Ji coming, they did not show anything abnormal.

Waiting for Wu Yong to introduce the people on both sides, Yang Ji walked in front, leading the way while accompanying the old lady to talk.

After a while, everyone came to a pine and cypress, which was where the Wu family's cemetery was located.

There was silence all around, and in the middle there were two stone mounds, as if they had just been repaired.

At this time, Yang Ji opened his mouth and explained to the old lady: "Don't blame the old lady, today coincides with the day of the ancestral shrine, and we will wait for these rootless people to repair the graves of the two ancestors and express our gratitude." ”

When the old lady heard this, she was stunned at first, and then she looked very excited, and kept saying thank you to Yang Ji.

"You really have a heart, if you have any needs in the future, just go to my grandson and tell him that if he dares to disagree, my old man will be the first to be unwilling."

Yang Ji waved his hand and said with a chuckle: "The old lady is serious, we can have this shelter from the wind and rain now, all thanks to Ling Sun's kindness." Compared to what he has done for us and other displaced people, repairing the cemetery is a mere effort, not a matter of concern. ”

Wu Yong didn't have much thought about repairing the cemetery, and in the later generations in which he lived, it was rare to see a cemetery like this existing, all of which were taken away by the crematorium and cremated after death, and then the children and grandchildren spent money to buy a cemetery, and they had to renew it every year. If you don't renew it one day, the cemetery will be gone.

In fact, in ancient times, the tombs of ancestors and the repair of tombstones symbolize that there are successors, prosperous families, and filial piety of descendants. Unless it is a person who has great kindness to himself, no one will be idle and have nothing to do to repair the ancestral graves of other people's families.

The main reason for the repair is that the grave soil will slowly sink down if it is not for the descendants to fill in some new soil every year, and repair it, the grave soil will slowly sink down, and then level with the earth.

By this time, there were no traces of this person's existence, no such thing as the so-called tomb toppling, and no record of this person coming to this world.

This is the so-called wind over the trace, people over the name.

This is also why in ancient times patriarchy was preferred, and male descendants must be left. Because a woman will marry someone else's family one day.

If after his death, he does not even have a person to fill in the grave, and in a few years, then this person will be as if he has never been in this world.

Take the two tombstones in the Wu family cemetery as an example, both of them were erected by the son for the father. If there was no Wu Yong, the Wu family might not even have a person to erect a monument.

Here, Wu Yong placed the sacrifices in front of the two tombstones, and took He Ye and He Cao to kowtow to the two ancestors in front of the grave, and then retreated to the side and stood respectfully.

At this time, the old lady touched the words on Wu Yong's grandfather's tombstone, and muttered to herself: "Xiuwu, you see, our grandson is now fully recovered, and he is more promising than our son Wenguang, he is now not only valued by the villagers, but also appreciated by the head of the family, I hope that it won't be long before our grandson can be famous all over the world." ”

"It would be nice if you and Wen Guang were still alive, I think you know everything from the spring, and you will definitely bless Yong'er with no illness and no disaster, health and longevity."

Speaking of which, the old lady was a little sad, and the Wu family could have today's situation, which made her feel like a dream.

The sudden early death of her only son devastated the old lady, and when her only grandson became stupid due to illness, she even wanted to die. Everyone hopes that their children and grandchildren can have a good future, and no one wants their descendants to end up in such a bleak end.

But thinking that Wu Yong was the only root of the Wu family, even if he was stupid, he couldn't give up, so he persevered for so many years and suffered from the strange eyes of the world.

Now that Wu Yong is back to normal, he has been praised by so many people! It's all worth it, even if it's ten times more painful, she's willing to do it.

But Guo's side stood in front of Wu Yong's father's tombstone, shedding tears of remorse.

"Wen Guang, don't blame me for what happened back then, I was forced to do it back then! I'm a weak married woman, if I bring another stupid child, who in this world will marry me! ”

"Over the years, I have been having nightmares, just worried that you will know and ask me for an explanation."

"Now that Yong'er is back to normal, I hope that Izumixia will know and bless our family safely, and I swear that I will treat Yong'er well in the future!"

When Wu Yong heard this, a scene suddenly appeared in his mind.

Back then, he burned his brain because of cold disease, but he was particularly dependent on Guo, but Guo abandoned him ruthlessly because he was stupid and remarried someone else.

At this moment, thinking of this, Wu Yong's heart suddenly surged with a ruthless emotion. There was a voice in his heart that kept encouraging him: Go, ask her why she cruelly left you alone, so that you have been bullied by other peers all these years, and ridiculed as an orphan without a father and mother!

Then the scene of Guo lovingly holding him in his mind came to his mind, and then another voice appeared in his heart: She was also forced to do it back then, it was my own fault, she was my mother, and I couldn't make her sad.

The two voices have been repeatedly entangled in Wu Yong's heart, making the expressions on his face constantly change, one moment angry, one moment self-blame, and the other envy.

This frightened everyone who followed Wu Yong.

"Brother, brother." He Ye pulled Wu Yong for a long time before pulling Wu Yong back from his restless state of mind.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Zhao also asked with concern.

Wu Yong shook his head, drove these thoughts out of his mind, and said softly: "I'm fine!" Just remembering some of the things from the past. ”

He Ye saw that Brother Ah was in a bad mood just now, so he took out a half-bitten pancake that he had secretly hidden in his pocket and gave it to Wu Yong.

"Brother, you eat!" After speaking, he smiled sweetly at Wu Yong.

This cake is because Wu Yong heard that he couldn't eat breakfast today, and he couldn't eat until the end of the ancestor worship in the evening, so he specially prepared a snack for everyone to eat on the stomach, but he didn't expect He Ye to keep it now.

This made Wu Yong's heart warm, and his resentment towards the Guo family was also smaller.

In the blink of an eye, looking at his sister He Cao, who was obediently holding her thighs, Wu Yong's heart became softer and softer.

He feels more and more like the people of this era, and he has a constant affection for the relatives around him.

Wu Yong took a bite of He Ye and handed over the pancakes, and then said with a smile: "It's so delicious, give He Cao a bite too." ”

Then Wu Yong saw He Lian's preoccupied look, and saw that her eyes drifted to Guo's from time to time, knowing that she must have thought of her deceased father when she was in this ancestral shrine.

So he grabbed her hand, pinched it in her palm, and whispered, "Tomorrow I beg my mother to take you to the good house to pay tribute to your uncle, okay?" ”

"Really?" He Lian looked at Wu Yong in surprise.

Wu Yong said softly: "I can't fool anyone, and I can't fool Sister!" ”

Then he said in the direction of Sister He, "Eldest sister will go back together tomorrow, and when I am in the ancestral shrine, I have to go back." Otherwise, the villagers will gossip. ”

Sister He's ears were sharp, and when she heard Wu Yong say this, she immediately shouted: "It's okay to let me go back, but I have to come back with you tomorrow!" ”
