Chapter 56: Do You Want It?
"Well, you know?" Song Wei patted Qiu Xiaoju's head, he likes obedient people, but how many people in the family are obedient?
Qiu Xiaoju suppressed the panic in her heart and nodded, in fact, what she was most afraid of in the Song family was not the fierce and vicious eldest cousin, but the second cousin who was smiling and groaning.
The night soon came, and just when everyone in Xiahe Village was falling asleep, a group of people walked out of Song's house in full gear and went straight to the cemetery in the village.
found Zhang Xiaojuan's grave and began to dig it, not long after the burial, the coffin was still new, several people quickly lifted out the coffin, and restored the tomb to its original appearance.
Unlike today's grave bags made of cement, the graves are all dirt bags that can be easily excavated and restored.
。。。
It was very early in the morning, and then firecrackers began to be set off outside, and there was a crackling noise, waking up the Yan Yan who was still asleep, and she pulled up the quilt to cover the top of her head.
"Huiru! Huiru? Are you not at home? The lady on the opposite side shouted at the door.
"Hey, what's wrong with Sister Embroidery?" Shen Huiru was still combing her hair, and when she heard the shouting, she tied her hair a few times, and then went to open the courtyard door.
"The Song family is going to have a funeral today, so I'm looking for you to come over." Ma Xiuhua said embarrassedly, don't go, live in a village again, go, this has been put for so many days, she is also very scared!
"If you want to go, you come and sit in the house for a while, I haven't washed yet, I'll go over after washing."
Open the door for people to come in, and then take the basin and toothbrush and toothpaste to the sink to wash, so that the weather does not need hot water, you can wash it directly by turning on the faucet, and it is very cool.
When he left, he greeted Su Yicheng and asked him to take care of his sister, and he would come back in the afternoon and send him to a ride.
Qian Yan has woken up, but she is lying on the bed and doesn't want to move, the Song family is funeral today, what about Zhang Xiaojuan? Have you already been taken to the Song family, just waiting to be buried together today?
"You're not going to dinner?" Murong Qin stretched and asked lazily on the chair.
"If you don't go, maybe the children in the whole village won't be allowed to go by their parents." I got up and put on my coat, and when I opened the door, the sun was already very strong outside.
The weather was too hot, and Murong Qin didn't want to move at all, but seeing Qian Yan go out, he also stood up and moved his body, then jumped off the chair and followed her step by step.
"Do you want water?" While brushing her teeth, she asked Xiao Hei next to her, as if she hadn't fed it water yet.
"When you think about feeding water, I'm afraid I'll starve to death a long time ago." Murong Qin twitched the corners of his mouth and said, he has been self-sufficient recently, okay?
This is not to blame her, after all, she has never had a pet, it is normal to forget to feed water and eat, and she is not an ordinary pet, and she will not die of starvation for a few days, probably, right?
"Who is Yan Yan talking to?" Su Yicheng came out with a basin of clothes and asked suspiciously, when he was washing clothes in the bathroom, he heard Yan Yan talking, he thought it was Li Guangyang's sister coming, but when he came out, he found that there was only his sister and the little black cat?
"Talk to Xiao Hei, ask him if he wants to drink water, and I'll pour it water to drink." Tilt Yan said very honestly.
This scared Murong Qin, no matter how much he trusted Su Yicheng, he didn't have to say anything, right!?
"And what does it say? Do you want to drink it? Su Yicheng asked jokingly while drying his clothes.
"It said meow meow, and I don't know if I want to drink water." Rinse the foam off the water cup and toothbrush, wash your face again, and go to help Su Yicheng dry his clothes.
In this era, there were already washing machines, but the price was not low, and there were only one or two in the village, and the rest of the families were hand-washed.
In the summer, the clothes that are not dehydrated also dry quickly, and in the winter, the hands are cold, not to mention the thick clothes that have been washed cannot be dried for ten days and a half.
"It says Meow should be hungry? Are you hungry too? Su Yicheng poured out the water, and then went to pour some cabbage leaves into the pot of chickens and ducks.
"What do you eat in the morning?" I didn't eat much last night, and now I'm really hungry!
"Noodles, how about cooking you a poached egg on top?" The porridge and tortillas I drank last night, my sister didn't like to eat tortillas, so I drank some porridge.
Tanyan nodded, noodles are much better than tortillas! She really doesn't like tortillas, and her throat hurts when she swallows!
In the 90s, there were still many mountainous areas that ate corn tortillas all year round, and they could only eat rice noodles once during the New Year's holidays.
But that's like this in a very remote mountainous area, where Yanyan is, the tortillas are only eaten occasionally, otherwise she really won't be able to stand it.
The noodles were quickly cooked, and she ate a large bowl of poached eggs and a few young cabbage leaves.
After packing up the dishes and chopsticks, Su Yicheng began to pack his schoolbag and the things he wanted to take away, and he was about to take the exam, so he didn't have to bring too many things, otherwise it would be troublesome to get them back during the holidays.
"When is the exam?" Looking at the busy Su Yicheng, you can be at home every day after the exam, right?
"Exams are coming next week, and then there will be two months off." Su Yicheng is actually looking forward to the holiday, so that he can help the family do more work.
Does that mean, you can stop going when you come back next time? Qian Yan suddenly felt a little happy, after all, it would be really boring to be alone at home!
The sound of firecrackers outside rang out again, from far to near, which made the two brothers and sisters very strange, the purpose of the village was on the other side, and the Song family was also on the other side, and they would not pass by their door at all.
But the sound of firecrackers outside did not stop, and the mourners could still be seen through the cracks in the door!
"What's going on? Isn't it going to the cemetery? "This is the way out of the village! Could it be buried somewhere else? Qian Yan asked suspiciously.
Su Yicheng was also puzzled, since he came to Shanghe Village, the people in the village died, and they were all buried in the village's exclusive cemetery, and he had never seen them buried elsewhere.
After the firecrackers were far away, there was a knock on the door.
"Are you at home?" Li Muqing patted the courtyard door, looking left and right to see if there was anyone else.
How did she get here? Isn't it because you're scared that you don't dare to go out? This is still running behind the funeral, and I don't know whether to say that she is cowardly or bold.
"Didn't you say scared?" Open the courtyard door to let her in, and then close the door, there is yellow paper money on the road outside, and the people watching are cautious!
"It's not like it's just going out of the funeral and coming to you, who knows it's coming in this direction! I followed all the way, but luckily there were a lot of people, otherwise I would have been scared to death! Li Muqing patted her chest, everyone would be afraid of that scene, okay!
"Don't all the people in the village go to the cemetery? Where are they going to be buried? "I still don't understand, where is there still land to bury people at the entrance of the village?
Out of the village is the paddy field, is it difficult to go to the paddy field?
"Probably to the river dam." Su Yicheng thought that there was also a grave in the river dam, but because the corn was too high and blocked, he didn't see it when he went last time.
Suddenly I thought of the reeds, wouldn't it be buried there? It's by the river, if the water rises, do you want a grave?
