Chapter Forty-Eight: Is There Something Wrong with My Husband?
Ching ming festival.
One of the four traditional festivals in China, Qingming worships ancestors, burns incense and wax, and makes offerings to the tomb, which does not represent the belief in ghosts and gods, but the moral belief and cultural inheritance of people remembering their ancestors and being grateful for the continuation of life.
Every year during the Qingming Festival, men, women and children, whether they are studying or working outside, will go home to worship their ancestors.
During the worship, the old people will tell the story of whose tomb and what happened during their lifetime.
Let future generations remember that life is not easy, remember the bittersweet and sweet, be good and filial piety first, and know how to be grateful for the people and things in the past, in order to have a better future.
Early in the morning, the Xiao family in the town gathered at the end of South Street, with more than 100 men, women and children.
Sitting on a stool and seating melon seeds.
The voices of the people are boiling, you say a word to me, you can't talk about it on weekdays, in this festival of returning to the hometown to worship the ancestors, they all put down the mustard, and they chatted about their daily routines without words.
Wait for the arrival of the car returning home.
Not long after, a thunderous roar came.
Everyone looked up in unison.
Large brick trucks of army green drove from the other side of South Street, and pedestrians gave way one after another.
"I finally don't have to ride a tractor this year!"
"Great, I finally don't have to push the cart with the cold wind, and I don't have to vomit my breakfast!"
"The village chief has finally done something this year!"
Many people almost cried with joy.
Someone said: "What does it have to do with the village chief, these big brick trucks are all borrowed from Xiao Zhigang's son Xiao Cheng and the owner of the brick factory, I got off work in the brick factory yesterday, and I saw Xiao Cheng go to our brick factory boss to borrow a car."
Our boss agreed without saying a word, and politely sent Xiao Cheng out, I don't know how deep the friendship between the two is! What is the village chief who goes to eat once and closes the door, and even our boss can't see him. ”
Others also chimed in: "When I came over this morning, I saw the village chief driving a tractor on the road, if it weren't for a young man on the road who stopped the car and told him that the brick factory had lent Xiao Cheng a car." The village chief may let us take a tractor back to the countryside to worship our ancestors this year! ”
"Brother Xiao Cheng can borrow a car, why didn't he go back to the countryside with us to worship his ancestors in previous years?" An older boy who was still in junior high school asked, puzzled.
The affectionate aunt sneered: "Your grandfather didn't let people inform you Brother Xiao Cheng, how can people go back!"
The big boy's face was full of embarrassment and he consciously shut up.
After the first brick cart stopped, no one got out.
The second car stopped, and the village chief Xiao Guofu got out of the car from the co-pilot's door and hurriedly ran over to count the number of people.
After ordering, he ran to the first brick cart and said to the man sitting in the driver's seat: "More than 20 people came back from Longcheng next door this morning, and now there are 168 people in total.
The man's eyes swept out, and he said indifferently: "How many old people, children, and adults are there?"
Xiao Guofu immediately ran back and nodded.
Soon he ran back out of breath, "There are 15 old people, 11 children under the age of ten, 39 middle and high school students under the age of eighteen, and the rest are all adults." ”
Xiao Cheng's finger on the steering wheel clicked twice, and he said: "The old man takes a stool to sit in a car, and let the three adults who beat gongs and drums in the same car."
"Children under the age of 10 are accompanied by their parents in one car, and the other four cars are all standing."
Xiao Guofu nodded after thinking for a while, the adults were all standing, and it was distributed like this in previous years.
Originally, there were six big brick carts this year, and everyone could sit on a stool, and he received the news of an acquaintance in the town early in the morning, so he made a notice, who knew that in previous years, the family sent a representative back to the Longcheng Xiao family, but this year there were suddenly so many more people, and he didn't inform him in advance.
Now it's too late to go back to the brick factory to borrow a car, so I can only squeeze and stand.
Compared with a tractor that can even spit out jaundice water, the smooth and stable brick cart is many times better, and the clansmen will have complaints about standing.
Hearing the assignment, he got into the car without saying a word, and the stool prepared in advance was temporarily put to the nearest neighbor's house.
Wang Cuihua's husband is also a member of the Xiao family, named Xiao Zhongbiao, it stands to reason that she can remarry after her husband dies, and she can go to the Xiao family countryside to worship her ancestors.
But as soon as she came, she was going to get into Xiao Cheng's car.
"Brother Xiao Cheng......"
Before the second brother word could be spoken, the co-pilot leaned over with a beautiful head and a smile on his face.
Ask her, "Is there anything wrong with my husband?"
Wang Cuihua looked at Xiao Cheng, who was silent in the driver's seat and supported Bai Lu's waist, and said: "I'm a little sicksick, I heard that it's better to sit in the co-pilot, and I won't vomit."
The corners of Bai Lu's lips curled slightly: "But our car is already full, Xiaowei also added a cushion to sit in the middle, do you want to go to other cars to have a look?"
Xiao Wei was speechless at the moment.
Did she know he was sitting in the middle?
The whole person came sideways in front of him, and he was about to lie on his eldest brother, how could a person who usually pays so much attention to his image suddenly become ignorant now?
Wang Cuihua's face was hot, and her brain was still exposed to the sudden appearance, and she was so shocked that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Who is pregnant and running to the cemetery?
Brother Xiao Cheng doesn't care?
"Then who, let go, we have to get into Brother Cheng's car, you don't have to trouble getting out of the way."
A group of little girls came running with shovels.
They are all junior high school students and high school students, sunny and full of vitality, and they squeezed Wang Cuihua to the side at once, and it was obvious that "let go" was just a notice.
Wang Cuihua reluctantly went to Xiao Dazhuang's car, but who knew that Xiao Dazhuang's mother was in the co-pilot, and he also got motion sickness.
She is not Xiao Wei, a seven-year-old little man, who can put a cushion in the middle to sit, and can only sit in the back compartment if she wants to sit.
But the back compartment of the car was full of old people, she was an adult, so she could only run back to Xiao Cheng's side.
Xiao Cheng's back carriage was already crowded with little girls.
The girls also stood in the way of the boys who wanted to get on the bus: "It's full, you guys go to another car."
The boys didn't go: "We're going to take Brother Cheng's car, let's stand in it, and we can go up a few more."
"Don't get on, don't get on, you guys go to other cars, it's hard to get on too many people."
"That's right, it's not that you can't sit in other cars, it's the same for whoever you take to the car." The girls persuaded each other with good voices, but they did not back down at all.
The boys just had to squeeze in.
The other cars should have been seated, sittened, sittened, and all of them were finished.
Only Xiao Cheng's car, a large group of teenagers surrounded the back of the car, refusing to go and unable to get up.
Boys and girls in adolescence are more or less a bit of a worship of the strong.
Xiao Cheng often takes people to walk through the streets and alleys to collect the accounts of the old lai, and no one dares to mess with a group of people.
Whoever sees it has to call out big brother.
It's the same when I arrived in Pingcheng, the street gangsters had to hand out cigarettes when they saw Xiao Cheng, Lao Lai trembled when he saw him, the boys and girls have seen him many times, every time they think Xiao Cheng is cool, handsome and powerful, and they have long wanted to take Xiao Cheng's car, and they have more face in Xiao Cheng's car.
However, in previous years, Xiao Cheng did not go back to the countryside with everyone, and this year he finally got the opportunity.
Don't miss Big Brother's car!
