Chapter 353: Third Anniversary
On the morning of July 23, Yun Xue was going to go to the paper shop in the town. The third anniversary of my parents' death is a big day, and no matter what, I have to prepare some paper work.
Yun Xue brought some money, and then packed up and was about to go out, but ran into Shen Hongjun head-on. "Zhiyuan, when did you come back?" Shen Hongjun has been back to Zhou City for several days, but he didn't expect to come back today.
"I just arrived, and I rode back early in the morning. Are you going out? Shen Hongjun looked at Yun Xue with a smile. He now feels that the days when he can't see the clouds and snow are really difficult, and if he doesn't see each other for a day, he used to think that it was an exaggeration of his predecessors, but now he really understands this taste.
"Well, I want to go to town. Twenty-eight is the third anniversary of my father's death, and I have to order some paper work with others, and burn it for my father and mother when the time comes. Yun Xue has been in a bad mood these days, maybe because her parents' death day is approaching, and she always thinks of how Han Yong taught herself in the past, and how the Liu family loved herself.
Whenever she thinks of this, Yun Xue will be in a very low mood. Sometimes Yun Xue can't help but think, if her father hadn't had an accident, her mother wouldn't have died in childbirth, in that case, what would their family be like? Will it be as prosperous as it is now? But everything is a fantasy, and after all, it cannot be realized, and it can only leave infinite sorrow.
Shen Hongjun noticed a faint sorrow between Yun Xue's eyebrows, "What's wrong with you?" Feeling a little sad? Are you still sad about your parents? Okay, don't think about it, if Uncle Han and Aunt Han know that you are like this, they will not be at ease. They must hope that your brothers and sisters will all live a good life. Shen Hongjun couldn't help but reach out and help Yun Xue sort out the broken hair on her sideburns and tuck it behind her ears.
Yun Xue let out a long breath and nodded, "I know it too, but I can't control it, I always think about it." It's okay, just wait a few days. She pulled out a smile and comforted Shen Hongjun.
"Let's go, I'll go with you, I'm not at ease with you like this." Shen Hongjun couldn't help but pull Yunxue, and the two of them returned to the camp and led two horses, and ran towards the town on horseback.
When they arrived in town, the two found a paper shop. At this time, it was not a New Year or a festival, and the shop was relatively idle, so a young man greeted him and hurriedly asked Yunxue what they were going to tie.
"Little brother, July 28 is the third anniversary of my parents' death, I want to ask, what objects do you usually need to tie?" Yun Xue doesn't know much about this. At that time, when the Liu family died, he was very flustered, and he couldn't stop at home, and all the things that should be done were just simple. As for this kind of paper work, there is nothing at all, and now she wants to ask.
After listening to Yun Xue's narration, the young man said, "If that's the case, then there are a lot of things to tie." Like cows and horses, this is a must. In addition, the ox must have a cowboy, the horse must have a carriage, a groom, and in other words, such as a house, household goods for living, servants to serve, etc. The underworld and the yang world are the same, and all kinds of things are indispensable. ”
When Yun Xue heard this, she felt a little nonsense, but she didn't know how to say it.
"Xue'er, just follow what this guy said, and prick it out one by one. Now our life is not very tight, Uncle Han and his aunt are over there, and they should enjoy it. Shen Hongjun pulled Yunxue and said.
Yun Xue looked up and saw Shen Hongjun with a very solemn expression. At this time, people attach great importance to life and death, and they attach more importance to death than to life. Yun Xue thought about it, and agreed, let's follow the customs, they can't afford this money now, they can't make people laugh, saying that the children of the Han family are not filial, and even after the death of their parents, they refuse to be filial.
"Okay, little brother, just listen to you, everyone is pierced. On the morning of July 28, we sent someone to fetch it, can we get it out? Yun Xue finally agreed to Shen Hongjun's proposal and turned back to ask the guy.
"I can get out, don't worry, there are many elementary school apprentices in the family, and after three or four days' work, they will definitely be able to get out of it." The guy hurriedly answered.
Yun Xue asked the guy to calculate how much money to use, and then paid all the money to the guy.
"Girl, you go back with gold and silver foil, the ingots will fold, right? Stack more ingots, and it will cost you silver over there. The guy took out two thick piles of gold and silver paper and handed them to Yun Xue.
Yun Xue took it, "Okay, thank you, little brother." "This is the previous life, and it was all used, so Yun Xue didn't object, just took it and left.
The two of them came out of the paper shop, and then went home directly, the key is that Yun Xue is really in a bad mood, and she doesn't have the heart to go shopping or anything. When they returned home, Yun Xue and Yun Ni took the time to fold the ingots, and while folding, Yun Xue shed tears, which caused Yun Ni to cry as well.
Shen Hongjun was distressed, and he pulled Yunxue to the back of the house. "Xue'er, people can't be resurrected after death, why are you like this? If your parents have spirits in heaven and are sad and sad when they see you like this, don't they feel bad with them? As long as you live well, Yunzhen and the others grow up one by one, and Yunxia grows up healthy and healthy, you can be regarded as worthy of this family. Be obedient, don't cry anymore, if you cry like this, my heart will also be uncomfortable. ”
Shen Hongjun reached out and hugged Yun Xue's shoulders and gently kissed Yun Xue's forehead, "Okay, I'm here, I said that I won't let you shed tears in the future, are you going to make me feel distressed to death?" He whispered in Yun Xue's ear.
Yun Xue leaned on Shen Hongjun's arms and cried a lot. In the past few days, she has been in a panic and always wants to cry, but in front of her younger siblings, she can't cry. Now that he was persuaded by Shen Hongjun like this, he cried all of a sudden.
When Shen Hongjun saw this, he happened to gently pat Yun Xue's back and soothe softly. Yun Xue is also suffocating like this, so it's good to let her cry.
When Yun Xue cried, she raised her head a little embarrassed, "I don't know what's wrong, it's just uncomfortable these days." She looked at Shen Hongjun's shoulders with a large piece of wet clothes, and was embarrassed.
"It's okay, I understand you, after crying, my heart will be much better." Shen Hongjun stretched out his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of Yun Xue's eyes. "Okay, go into the house and wash your face, don't think about it anymore, and you can't cry anymore." As he spoke, he took Yun Xue's hand and returned to the front yard.
Dong Lao and Yun Xia didn't know when they came back, and sat in the shade of the courtyard with Yun Ni. Yunni's expression was quite calm, but there were some tears on her face. It seems that this girl also cried.
"Alas, you two girls, I really don't know what to say. Look out for a moment and don't think about those things all the time. When Dong Lao saw Yun Xue coming back from the backyard, he persuaded him.
"Master, we know." Yun Xue sat in front of Dong Lao, looking at the innocent and unworried Yunxia, her mood was much better.
On July 27, Yunxue steamed a pot of steamed buns, and the snow-white steamed buns were round and bulging, and they were cute when they looked at them.
Xiao Yunxia circled around the steamed bun vigorously, looking like a greedy cat. "Eldest sister, can you eat this?"
"Wait for tomorrow, let's finish going to the grave of my father and mother, and we can eat it when we come back." Yun Xue touched Yun Xia's red little face and said with a smile.
After hearing this, Yunxia nodded and ran away, no longer bothering about the gluttonous steamed buns. For her, there is no big difference between eating and drinking tomorrow and eating today, since the eldest sister said that it was tomorrow, then tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Yun Zhen and Yun Ting drove the carriage to the town and pulled back a cart of paper work from the paper shop. Together, everyone got those things, along with steamed buns, chickens, pig's heads, fish, and the two bags of ingots that were folded before, all to the mountain.
Yun Xue stepped forward, put all the offerings on the table, and poured three more glasses of wine, "Dad, mother, we came to see you." ”
Yun Zhen lit the incense, inserted it into the incense burner bowl, and then led the boys and began to light the paper work one by one. Along with a lot of burning paper, and those ingots, they were burned together.
"Dad, mother, today is your third anniversary of death, we were all young before, we didn't understand anything, and we couldn't buy all kinds of things for you, and today we will all supply you. There are houses, and servants to serve, and cattle and horses, and all kinds of household goods. Over there, live your life. Yun Zhen held a long stick in his hand, pulling the fire there, and muttering in his mouth.
Dong Lao, Shen Hongjun, Wu Chunsheng's family, and a few people in the village who got along well, all stood by and watched. Elder Dong sighed, "Dayong, our masters, I'm afraid we will have to meet underground." Don't worry, these children, I will help you watch, and I will definitely teach them all my skills, so that they can have their own talents. ”
Han Yue'e also burst into tears at this time, "Second brother, I'm back, but I can't see you." Second brother, you are over there, you must bless the family, bless the children are safe, and let them all grow up. In the future, I don't want them to be rich and rich, just be obedient. ”
Everything was burned, and Yun Xue led her younger siblings to kneel in front of the grave to kowtow to their parents.
At this time, Shen Hongjun knelt down beside Yun Xue, looked at the grave in front of him and said, "Uncle Han, Aunt Han, please rest assured, I will take care of Yun Xue and the Han family." As he spoke, he kowtowed with Yun Xue and them.
While everyone next to him was surprised, they were also relieved, Shen Hongjun's attitude was enough to show that he valued Yun Xue. "Okay, Yun Xue is a blessed one, this Shen Gongzi is a gentleman." Grandpa Li said.
Dong Lao was also very pleased, "Okay, with him, the Han family will not be bad in the future." "On the morning of July 23, Yun Xue was going to go to the paper shop in the town. The third anniversary of my parents' death is a big day, and no matter what, I have to prepare some paper work.
Yun Xue brought some money, and then packed up and was about to go out, but ran into Shen Hongjun head-on. "Zhiyuan, when did you come back?" Shen Hongjun has been back to Zhou City for several days, but he didn't expect to come back today.
