Chapter 543: Third Aunt
Zhang Hu raised his wine glass and said, "It's up to you how to get it tomorrow, I don't understand this." Just let everyone be safe, my dad doesn't have to worry about him, just muttered about moving the grave again, I think this place is good now, at least a few of our people are safe. ”
Zhang Lan nodded: "It's actually okay for people to be safe, Feng Shui is a thing, you expect him to give you strength, this thing is borrowed and returned, and it's good that people are safe." As for wealth rights and the like, it still depends on your own efforts. ”
……
The next morning, Zhang Lan stood on the hillside and said to the uncle Zhang Dajiang beside him: "Uncle, there is nothing to say about this road in, just simply widen and pave cement, but do you have a plan for how to repair this cemetery?" ”
Zhang Dajiang said with a smile: "What I mean is to dig a drainage ditch on the left side of the tomb in the north, build a baokan of about one meter on the slopes on both sides, and then renovate the stone banks of the wasteland above and below and reinforce it with cement." Zhang Lan: What do you think of this? ”
Zhang Lan thought about the repair suggestions that the uncle said in his mind, except for adding a small canal, the other main thing is reinforcement, nothing special.
Zhang Lan nodded and said, "Yes, there's nothing wrong with this." ”
"Do you want to pick a date or something when you start this construction?" Zhang Hu interjected on the side.
Zhang Lan suddenly laughed, and Zhang Dajiang reprimanded beside him: "Do you still need to ask this, do you say that you don't need to pick a day?" ”
Zhang Hu touched his head and smiled, Zhang Lan opened his mouth to explain: "It's best to choose a date, this groundbreaking is not only to repair the grave, but also to pave the road, and it is impossible to say if you don't choose a date." ”
After discussing the general plan, Zhang Lan didn't care about what he was going to do next, and Zhang Dajiang and Zhang Lan's father had to discuss it with Zhang Lan's aunts again, after all, it was a major repair.
Zhang Lan only needs to be responsible for paying the money next, and then come back to worship after the repair is completed.
In autumn, the slopes are not only covered with weeds, but also with all kinds of insects, and after roughly deciding how to do it, the group went down to their homes.
When she went to the grave on the morning of 15 July, Zhang Lan was surprised to find that the wasteland where the grave was located that she had seen on the hillside the day before yesterday had been cleared of the wild grass on the ground.
After approaching, Zhang Lan found that all kinds of weeds that were originally thigh-deep had been cut to the soles of their shoes, and the perimeter of the grave had been cleaned up, and the burning paper in front of it was simply padded with loess and stones.
He put down the gold and silver paper money he was carrying, and first turned out the specially bought firecrackers from inside, and then placed a few tributes on the stone platform in front of the tomb.
Paper money was pressed on the grave, and then a large bag of gold and silver paper was poured in front of him, and he drew a circle with a wooden stick on the side, and then squatted down.
When I touched my pocket, Zhang Lan realized that she had forgotten to bring a lighter. Shaking his head helplessly, his mind moved 'the ground cracked the fire', and the paper money in front of him suddenly burned.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, then picked up the firecracker he had just disassembled, lit it on the fire, and threw it aside.
As the firecrackers sounded, Zhang Lan silently thought in her heart: Grandparents have come to collect money.
It doesn't matter if there is an underworld or reincarnation, the important thing is that it represents the sustenance of the soul.
Zhang Lan stood by the fire with a wooden stick, picking at the flame from time to time. Approaching the hillside, although the area around the grave has been cleaned up, it may not be appropriate for a gust of wind to blow and fly up with unburned paper money to ignite the wild grass, so it is better to stay aside and wait for everything to burn out.
Standing in front of the grave with a wooden stick, Zhang Lan did not turn around and leave until everything was burned out and only some paper ashes remained.
Turning the back of the hillside along the road, Zhang Lan saw someone coming over with something. Take a closer look, it was the third aunt Zhang Aiping who came to the grave carrying things.
Zhang Lan greeted with a smile and said, "Third aunt, you are here, go home for dinner at noon." ”
"Okay, I'll go to your house for dinner at noon. Are they here, auntie? The third aunt Zhang Aiping also asked Zhang Lan with a smile.
"I haven't arrived when I come out of the house, so I'll bring it to you." Putting the tribute in his hand on the ground, Zhang Lan reached out and took the bag in the third aunt's hand.
With the same steps, when the fire burned out, Zhang Lan casually asked, "How is Li Xia's work now?" It's going well at the bank, right? ”
"I heard her say that there is no problem, but in the past few days, she said that she was ready to change jobs, and that she was going to work in the village bank in Canghe." Zhang Aiping said.
Zhang Lan asked with some confusion: "Didn't you say that you did a good job?" Why are you going to change jobs all of a sudden? Is it bullied and suppressed by anyone, no, I'll find someone for her. ”
Zhang Aiping shook her head and said, "No, she said at home that she thinks the bank she works for has a low salary, and she still has a lot of tasks every month." It was not her turn to be promoted, and her salary was more than double that of before, and her salary was more than double that of before, and she did not have many tasks, mainly to pull deposits and loans. ”
Zhang Lan nodded: "How much does Li Xia pay a month now?" ”
"Last month, I heard her say that she only opened more than 3,000 yuan after deducting insurance or something, saying that the salary was too low." Zhang Aiping said.
"It shouldn't be, why are there more than three thousand?" Hearing Zhang Aiping say that Li Xia sent more than 3,000 last month, Zhang Lan was very surprised, she had her own large deposits and some of her mother's savings, plus Li Xia was usually pulling some deposits, so she wouldn't have sent more than 3,000.
Zhang Aiping sighed and said: "I heard her say that the bank had an insurance task last month, and then she looked at the content of the insurance and felt that it was a cheat, and she didn't even do a penny, and then last month's bonus and performance were almost deducted." ”
"I see. It's okay to change jobs, Sangu, didn't you say that Li Xia's salary will be doubled after changing jobs, and the salary of tens of thousands of dollars a month in our place is a lot. Zhang Lan said with a smile.
"Hopefully, what I planned was for her to work in the bank for a while and get married. After all, it's a stable job. I haven't heard anything yet, so I'm starting to change jobs again, and I can't control it. Zhang Aiping said helplessly.
Zhang Lan smiled and comforted: "You don't have to worry about the third aunt, now in this society, boys have to worry about marrying a daughter-in-law, and girls don't have to worry at all." You just wait at home for Li Xia to lead her son-in-law to the door. ”
After picking a few times with a wooden stick and burning it thoroughly, Zhang Lan and the third aunt Zhang Aiping began to pack up the tribute and go out.
When he arrived at the place where he had stopped just now, Zhang Lan picked up the tribute that had been placed on the stone before and walked down. When he arrived at the tram at the bottom of the hillside, Zhang Lan opened his mouth and said, "Third aunt, why did you come here?" Shall I ride you there? ”
"No, you go first, I drove an electric three-wheeler, not far ahead, I don't think it's good to turn around, so I didn't drive here." Zhang Aiping said with a smile.
