The relationship between the original body and Lin Chunya's niece is bad, and Lin Baobao didn't know what to say to her, so he walked to the fork in the road, looking at her frighteningly big belly, and couldn't help but admonish: "Chunya still has a big belly, you go slowly, you must pay attention to your feet." ”

Lin Chunya paused for a moment, and said with a complicated expression: "I used to say that you were willful and too self-conscious, but now that I think about it, people like you can live more comfortably." ”

Lin Baobao: ......

This is probably the reason why the relationship between the two is not good, Lin Chunya is obviously a junior, but he always preaches to the original body in the tone of an elder.

On this day, everyone was very tired, and when they got home, they washed up and rested.

On the second day, Lin Baobao transferred all the chickens raised in the backyard to the side of Shuzipo, and gave Lin Wulang twenty copper plates and asked him to go to Lin Shougen to order two boxes for loading.

She had told her family about it the day she had returned from town.

The Lin Dalang brothers have no opinions.

During this time, they had carved out nearly five acres of land, on a hill at the end of the village, in the shape of a ladder and extending upwards.

Not far from the foot of the mountain is the river that runs through the village of Dahe, because the mountain is a bit steep, and the water cannot go and cannot be watered, so it has been barren.

However, the land that was opened up is not planted now, but a lot of bean dregs that Lin Baobao bought from the town are buried in the ground.

In Lin Baobao's words, this is called raising land.

If it was before, they didn't believe it, but the rice in their five acres of paddy fields grew better than other people's homes, so they couldn't believe it.

After all, the land and seeds are the same as in previous years, the only difference is that before planting the seedlings, the forest babies let them pick all the fertilizer from the backyard with bean dregs to the paddy field.

Yuan Lin Baobao also wanted Uncle Lin to pick some to use, but people didn't believe it, so she didn't force it.

To get back to the point, the box can be made by Lin Shougen, and they have to prepare the goods to be sold, and the needle and thread brain can be bought by Lin Wulang in Yao Niangzi's store, and the rest can be made at home.

The quantity needed was not much, so Lin Baobao did not invite outsiders to come, and only let Zhao and Zhou do it, while Chen continued to embroider her embroidery.

Considering that the customers are mainly country women who have little spare money on hand, the materials used to make the silk flowers are rags taken from Mrs. Yao.

Reducing costs can also reduce selling prices.

In addition to the silk flowers, some small items such as sleeve covers, aprons, waist scarves, and turbans were also made.

After two busy days, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye, and the Mid-Autumn Festival can be regarded as an important festival both in later generations and now.

Lin Baobao gave everyone a day off, and specially went to the villagers' house to buy an old hen that did not lay eggs.

There are many people in the family, and one chicken is not enough to eat, so when she learned that Mei's was going to the town, she dragged her to help buy five catties of meat, and she had to eat moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

That thing is a bit expensive, I only bought two catties, and when the time comes, I will cut it and give it a small piece to taste.

There was no need to work, Lin Dalang and they slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, but Gu Shi said hello to Lin Baobao and went out early.

By the time he returned, the Lin family had already had breakfast.

"Why are you coming back now?" Lin Baobao suddenly wanted to eat dumplings, and was rolling out dumpling skins in the kitchen with his three sisters-in-law, so he wiped his hand on his apron, lifted the lid of the pot and brought the porridge and vegetables warm in it to the hall: "I left breakfast for you." ”

Gu Shi only told her that he was going out, but he didn't say what he was going to do, Lin Baobao didn't ask at the time, and he won't ask now.

Gu Shi's eyes fell on Lin Baobao: "You accompany me to a place." ”

Lin Baobao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Gu Shi's mood didn't seem to be right: "If you want to go, you have to eat breakfast first." ”

Gu Shi pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

By the time he finished eating, Lin Baobao had already changed into clean clothes: "Let's go." ”

The two went out together, and Lin Baobao silently followed Gu Shi's side, never asking where they were going.

It wasn't until I got out of Dahe Village that I saw Gu Shi turn out a basket from the haystack on the side of the road, the basket was covered with leaves, and I couldn't see what was inside, but the leaves knew at a glance that they were freshly picked, and it was obvious that the things had just been hidden in it for a short time.

Seeing Lin Baobao staring at the basket in his hand, Gu Shi rarely explained: "I'll go to town in the morning." ”

Lin Baobao opened her mouth and wanted to ask why she didn't say it in advance if she was going to town, so that she didn't need to trouble Mei Shi to help bring things.

Although it is incidental, Lin Baobao does not like to owe favors.

However, before she could speak, Gu Shi had already lifted the leaves on the basket.

Seeing that there were some incense candles and thick paper money inside, Lin Baobao was dumbfounded: "It's your ...... today."

"It's not." Gu Shi interrupted her speculation and continued to walk forward, and the two finally came to a barren mountain near Xiaohe Village where there was no road.

I saw that there were two tombs, one large and one small, sitting alone on the top of the mountain.

The two graves are next to each other, and because no one has taken care of them for a long time, the grave grass is half a person high.

It stands to reason that as long as there is a big surname here, they all have their own ancestral tombs, like the ancestral tombs of the Lin family are built on the back mountain, and all the deceased people with the surname Lin are buried in that area.

The reason why the Lin family spent a lot of money to buy Gu Shi back was also so that Lin Baobao could be buried in the ancestral grave.

Because nowadays people live in a group, they think that after death, they are buried with their ancestors, and they are covered by their ancestors, and they will not be bullied by other ghosts as lonely ghosts when they get to the bottom.

The Gu family naturally also has them, these two tombs are not buried in the ancestral graves of the Gu family, but they are located on the barren mountain, which shows that they are not the Gu family.

But since it is not the Gu family, why did Gu Shi come to worship?

When he got closer, Lin Baobao saw that the bluestone tablet in front of the tomb was blank, and no words were engraved, and his doubts couldn't help but be deeper.

Gu Shi squatted down without saying a word to clean up the weeds around the grave, and when Lin Baobao saw this, he put away the suspicions in his heart and walked over to help.

"It's empty." Gu Shi didn't raise his head: "My father told me that it was a mound for the deceased, and he would bring me here every year to worship." ”

"Even when I left, I didn't forget to tell me about it."

It took a little effort to clean up the two graves, Gu Shi lit the incense candles, knelt down in front of the big grave, and began to burn paper money.

Lin Baobao was stunned, I didn't know if I wanted to kneel with her, if it was Gu Jia's elders, she should kneel, but ......

Forget it, kneel.

Lin Baobao knelt down beside Gu Shi, picked up a wad of paper money from the basket and helped burn it together.

Gu Shi's hand moved slightly: "Actually, I guessed if it was my mother, but my father said no." ”

"Isn't your mother buried in the ancestral grave of the Gu family?" Lin Baobao was even more puzzled.

Gu Shi shook his head: "No, I followed my father back to Xiaohe Village when I was three years old, just me and my father, without my mother." ”

I remember when I was a child, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, my grandparents would buy a few catties of mooncakes and go back to give us a share, one and a half, like this (because there are many children. ）

Then every time I got the mooncakes, I didn't eat them, thinking that I would take them out and eat them when my brother and them finished eating, but I kept my long hair.
