Chapter 65 Hanging Paper Sweeping the Grave

Returning to his house with the wooden box, Jiazhen whispered: "My mother gave me the family foundation." ”

Xu Fugui held the sleeping Youqing in his arms, and said unconcernedly: "I'll keep it for you, it's more convenient for you to take care of the money, and if you want to take the money, you can take it directly." ”

Jiazhen handed over the wooden box, "Now, here you go." ”

"What do you do for me, my mother will let you keep it, whoever wants to use the money in the family in the future will not work without your nod."

"It's not the same if you care about me."

Xu Fugui shook his head, "I don't care about money, I just want to use it." ”

Jiazhen immediately took back the wooden box, "Then I'll take care of the money." ”

As she spoke, she opened the lid of the wooden box, looked at the gold and silver inside, and couldn't stop smiling at the corner of her mouth, "Fugui, we have a lot of money." ”

With money, the heart is steady.

Xu Fugui gently put Youqing on the bed, "What is this, our Xu family's money was too much to count." ”

Of course, their family is indeed not short of money now, after all, he has a full twenty gold bars in his space.

But at present, I dare not take it out and use it, and it is almost the same as not having it.

Jiazhen shook her head, "That's different, these money are our hard-earned money, and it's only when you use it that you can feel at ease." ”

She walked around the house and said distressedly, "Where should I put it?" What if someone steals it? ”

In the end, she chose the same treatment method as Xu's mother, pressing it directly under the bed and covering it with a quilt.

After hiding it, she went out to wash the dishes with Xu's mother, who seemed to have endless words and kept telling her about the changes in the family.

In fact, nothing has changed, the thatched house is still this thatched house, but compared to the first time they moved here, they have become accustomed to the current life.

At that time, my heart was not steady, and the days had never been so dark, but now I feel that life seems to be quite good.

Although he was a landlord in the past, his life was not as fulfilling as it is now.

Xu Fugui walked out of the house and carefully closed the bamboo door to prevent waking up the sleeping Youqing.

"Daddy."

Feng Xia also changed into a gray cotton suit, with two pigtails on her head, and her hands were dirty from where she didn't know where to touch.

Xu Fugui picked her up, washed her hands with hot water, and after washing it, Feng Xia put her arms around his neck, "Dad, will you take me to see the lamb?" ”

"It's not a lamb now, it's bigger than you."

Xu Fugui carried him to the chicken shed in the yard, this simple bamboo peng was constantly reinforced by them, and chickens, ducks and sheep lived in it.

"Wow, how can the lamb grow so fast, they are all taller than me."

Feng Xia struggled to run over, and when she was about to hug her, she suddenly covered her nose and paused, "Dad, it stinks." ”

"It doesn't stink, the ground is full of and sheep dung."

Xu Fugui took out a bamboo broom, which is tied together with the branches of Nanzhu, which is very strong and suitable for sweeping the pigsty.

Cleaning the chicken pen with a bamboo broom, Feng Xia was still reluctant to go in, she didn't want to stain the cloth shoes on her feet.

However, she still asked with great concern: "Dad, is the lamb full, shall we give it grass again?" ”

"Okay." Xu Fugui took a bundle of pig fern grass on the side and threw it in front of the sheep with Feng Xia.

The little lamb seemed to recognize Fengxia, bleated, lowered his head and began to eat.

Feng Xia stretched out her hands, and after being picked up, she sat in Xu Fugui's arms and watched the sheep graze happily.

"Fugui, hang paper to sweep the tomb, do you want to go." Father Xu shouted inside.

Their tradition here is to hang paper on the first day of the new year to sweep the tomb, originally used to go in the morning, but today because they went to pick up the family treasures, so it was postponed to the afternoon.

Of course, when he was still the young master of the Xu family, he never went to hang paper to sweep the tomb, either fooling around in the county town, or lying on the bed and not getting up.

is angry, every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu's father has to scold.

"Here we are."

Xu Fugui agreed, turned around and went to prepare things for tomb sweeping.

Xu's father was carrying a basket, Xu Fugui took it and looked at it, and all the things that swept the tomb were in it.

"That's it?" He asked.

There were two red candles in the basket, a few plates of yellow paper, and a few pieces of white wallpaper.

He remembered that he used to prepare bacon, liquor, firecrackers and so on.

Even after the death of Xu's father in the previous life, every year when Xu Fugui went to sweep the tomb, he had to take these things to show his filial piety.

Of course, these bacon and liquor will be eaten after worship, and waste is not wasted.

Father Xu clasped his hands, "Do you think it's still the same as when the landlord used to be?" The ancestors have their own way of living below, so let's just express our hearts. ”

He is reluctant to eat the liquor and bacon at home, and he is reluctant to eat it, and he burns it for his ancestors?

The ancestors are so capable, even if they go to the underworld, they must be a landlord, and they shouldn't need this little thing.

Father Xu's heart moved, and he suddenly thought that if there was really such a thing as an underworld, would he be able to find the ancestors of the Xu family after he died, and follow them to eat and drink spicy food?

When you think about it, death doesn't seem to be so scary.

"Grandpa, I'm going too." Feng Xia ran over with two small short legs and pulled his trouser legs.

Father Xu squatted down and picked her up, "Okay, let's go see the ancestors of the Xu family together." ”

Forget it, how many years can I live, Feng Xia and Youqing are so young, he wants to wait for these two children to grow up.

Xu Fugui picked up a hoe and put it on his shoulder, followed Xu's father, and came to the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, which was the cemetery of his Xu family.

The tombs here are generally built very atmospheric, tombstones, every dead ancestor has a tombstone, which is engraved with life deeds, and you can vaguely see the scenery of the Xu family in the past.

However, this cemetery will not be preserved for long, and in the next few years, tomb robbers will continue to patronize, and even passing troops will dig up, hoping to dig up gold and silver to subsidize military expenses.

However, Xu Fugui knows, don't look at these tombs and look at the atmosphere, but there is no fart in them, only a good coffin.

The ancestors of the Xu family were very realistic, and they were reluctant to bury the gold and silver treasures in the ground, so it was better to leave them to future generations.

And I heard Xu's father say that in the past, some burial goods would be placed in the cemetery of the Xu family, but when the war was the most chaotic in the past few decades, tomb robbers emerged in an endless stream, and the Xu family no longer put things in the tomb.

Several old tombs behind the bamboo forest can now be seen with several large holes.

Standing in the bamboo forest, Xu Fugui looked at this continuous cemetery, and his eyes were still a little reluctant.

This is the place where the ancestors of his Xu family live, and the thought of being constantly cared for makes him feel uncomfortable.

Not only his Xu family, but also the cemeteries in various places, as long as they are better, they will basically be patronized.

Only when the new rabbit is established, the phenomenon of tomb robbery will be much less, but at that time, there was no cemetery to rob, and it has been stolen for decades.

This is also why, the era of tomb robbery novels is set in the previous decades......
