Chapter Eighty-Six: Homesickness and Poetry
Wang Tong commissioned the master garment maker in the bureau to make a set of dog skin clothes for each person, and then pickled a piece of dog meat as dry food on the road. Some of the other dog meat was given away, some were sold, and the remaining small amount of dog meat was left for the Gai family. also gave a dog to the passer-by, Brother A, and added contact information to each other.
When the six of them returned to Gai's house, they saw that Gai Zheng was chatting with her wife, her face was much better, and she was able to get out of bed and walk around by herself. Gai Chengye and Gai Lianhan cried with joy and were full of gratitude to Wang Tong!
After bidding farewell to the Gai family, Wang Tong and the five continued to search and rescue work. The subsequent search and rescue work went very smoothly, and the group completed the task, returned to China, and then cherished each other and parted ways.
Wang Tong returned to Wufeng Mountain, it was the afternoon of the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, Wu Meier had already bought moon cakes, meat, vegetables, wax paper money and other things, and the three daughters were all at home.
Wu Mei'er put down the clothes she was washing, rushed her hand, ran out, and said with a smile on her face: "Brother Tong, we thought you wouldn't be able to come back for the holiday, but you're back, great, we can celebrate the festival together!"
Wang Tong took her hand, his hand was slightly cold, and he said bitterly: "During the time I was away, I have worked hard for you! The weather is getting cold, you can just use the washing machine to do your laundry." ”
Wu Meier said: "It's not hard, some clothes are inconvenient to machine wash, so it is better to wash them by hand without hurting the clothes." ”
Wang Tong said bitterly: "It doesn't hurt your clothes, but it hurts your hands, your hands are cold." ”
Wu Mei'er smiled beautifully: "I'm used to it, compared to the cold weather in the previous winter, it is much better to use cold water to wash clothes." ”
Wang Tong hugged her and gently helped her tidy up her messy hair with his hand, Wu Meier struggled, blushed, and whispered, "The children are here!"
Wang Dao smiled: "It's all old husbands and wives, why are you shy?"
Wu Mei'er gently beat Wang Tong with both hands and said, "Don't be ashamed, who is the old husband and wife with you?"
Wang Tong laughed and said: "Okay! It's an old husband and a young wife! My Mei'er is still in her prime!"
Wu Mei'er lay in her broad chest, smelled the familiar smell, felt a burst of peace and sweetness in her heart, and said: "You have a hard time on a business trip, go up and wash and rest! Put the clothes outside, I will take them and wash them together, and after washing the clothes, I will go to make dinner!"
Wang Daodao: "Okay! Then it's hard work!"
Wu Mei'er smiled: "Poor mouth!" Then she walked gracefully, Wang Tong walked up to the second floor, found a change of clothes, went to the bathroom to take a bath, put the change of clothes in the basin, and put it outside the bathroom door.
When Wang Tong came out, the clothes had been taken away, and Wang Tong came to the living room, where Bai Fu and Lin Chuchu were watching the anime "Qin Shi Mingyue".
Lin Chuchu pressed the pause button and said, "Master, the young lady of the anime is so beautiful, and her martial arts are also very high and beautiful, have you seen it? Who do you like the most?"
Wang Daodao: "I've seen all the free albums, and I like Shao Si Ming the most!
Lin Chuchu snickered: "So Shao Si Ming is your dream lover! ”
Wang Tong asked, "Who do you like the most?"
Lin Chuchu said: "I like the moon god the most. ”
Wang Tong asked, "Why? Is she a villain?"
Lin Chuchu said: "You don't need a reason to like it. ”
Wang Tong asked, "Bai Fu, who do you like the most?"
Bai Fu said: "I like Snow Girl. ”
Wu Mei'er shouted loudly downstairs: "Chu Chu, Bai Fu, come down and help!"
Lin Chuchu handed over the remote control board and said, "Master, look at it first! Let's go down to help!" and then took Bai Fu's hand and ran down.
An hour and a half later, a sumptuous dinner was placed on the table, and then Wang Tong took Wu Mei'er, holding knives, apples, chicken, moon cakes, wax paper money, etc., to find a clay floor on the edge of the courtyard, set up a small coffee table, put tribute, and poured wine glasses.
Then lighting a pair of wax, Wang Tong lit the yellow fire paper, and said: "Dad Wang Zhengbai, today is September 13, 47XX year of the Yanhuang calendar, the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, my son Wang Tong and his daughter-in-law Wu Mei'er have come to pay respects to you, I hope you have a spirit in the sky, and bless the prosperity and peace of the family! Grandparents, grandparents, grandparents, you have spirits in the sky, and you have come to receive money! The ancestors and ancestors are above, bless the prosperity of the family! Peace and security!"
Then he continued to light the fire paper money and money, paper clothes, paper pants, paper shoes, etc., Wang Tong took out three incense sticks, lit them and inserted them in the soft ground next to the wax, knelt on the ground and bowed his head three times.
Wang Tong stood up, put down a plastic bag on the ground, Wu Meier worshiped three times, lit three incense sticks, and inserted it!
Lin Chuchu and Bai Fu also worshiped three times in the same way, lit three incense sticks, and inserted them.
After the flame was extinguished, Wang Tong found a few stones, surrounded the ashes, sprinkled the wine on the ground, and said, "Everyone, take the tribute and go home for dinner!"
Then a group of four people brought the tribute back to the restaurant and began to eat.
Lin Chuchu asked, "Master, if a person dies, will he really ascend to heaven, will he turn into a star in the sky?"
Wang Daodao: "Master doesn't know. But as far as I know, the soul doesn't turn into a star in the sky after death, because the soul doesn't have that much energy. The soul may dissipate and turn into heaven and earth energy, returning to heaven and earth, or it may enter another time and space that we do not understand. ”
Lin Chuchu asked, "Those will dissipate, and those will enter another time and space?"
Wang Daodao: "The fragility of ordinary people's souls will dissipate, but the souls of those who have achieved cultivation are tough and strong. Just as a bowl of water is placed on the ground, it will eventually dry up, but the sea can claim to be a system, replenished, and existed for a long time!"
Lin Chuchu said: "Then why do you still want to pay tribute to your ancestors?"
Wang Daodao: "One is to remember the ancestors and remember the inheritance. For without them there would be no me. The two are for the unknown, it is better to believe in them than to believe in them, in case they really exist in the underworld, the sacrifice of our descendants can also make their lives easier. ”
Lin Chuchu's eyes were full of tears, and he said, "I understand! I'm a little homesick, but my home is gone!"
Wang Daodao: "Good boy, don't cry, Master will take you back to see when he is free in the future! People cannot be resurrected after death, the previous days are all in the past, and they can never be found again." Those who are alive should live well and live up to the expectations of their ancestors. Live a happier life and form a more prosperous family!"
Lin Chuchu wiped his eyes and said, "You all have a home, but I don't have a home." ”
Wang Tong said: "Silly boy, isn't this your home? You are also one of us." ”
Wu Mei'er said: "Yes! We didn't treat you as outsiders! You can live as long as you want!"
Lin Chuchu burst into tears and smiled: "Sister Mei'er, you are so good!"
Wang Tong said: "Bai Fu, you eat, you don't have to be polite at home." ”
Bai Fu said: "Thank you! Brother! It's good to have a family! You don't have to hide in Tibet, you have no fixed place to live, you have a good meal, you are scared, you are full and hungry!"
Wu Mei'er said: "Chu Chu, look at Sister Baifu, she is much stronger than you!
Lin Chuchu said: "Hmm!"
Bai Fu said: "How did the Mid-Autumn Festival come about?"
Wang Channel: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the Moon Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Reunion Festival. The term Mid-Autumn Festival was first seen in the "Zhou Li", and the "Book of Rites and the Moon Order" said: "The moon of mid-autumn nourishes the elderly, and the porridge diet is practiced". It is recorded in the Book of Rites: "The Son of Heaven is the spring sunrise, and the autumn sunset moon", and the sunset moon is the meaning of worshipping the moon and sacrificing the moon. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, they began to eat moon cakes, and in the Song Dynasty, they began to prevail! Slowly formed the customs of worshipping the moon, worshiping the moon, admiring the moon, eating moon cakes, eating reunion dinners, etc., and lived a happy and complete life with the consummation of the moon!"
Wu Meier said: "There are many interesting activities in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the customs are different from place to place. In addition to the similarities mentioned above, there are activities such as watching the tide, lighting lamps, appreciating osmanthus flowers, drinking osmanthus wine, guessing word puzzles, playing with lanterns, etc., and the classical literati will also chant poems and paintings, taste tea and drink, and talk about the past and the present. ”
Lin Chuchu said: "I know that Su Dongpo's masterpiece "When Will the Bright Moon Be There is a Water Tune Song Header" was composed by the Mid-Autumn Festival, "I wish people a long time and a thousand miles together" will be sung through the ages! Master, you can also make a poem, right?"
Wang Daodao: "Master is not omnipotent, I didn't learn Chinese well back then, and now I have no ink in my chest." ”
Lin Chuchu said coquettishly: "Master, if you lie to people, you will make a song!"
Wu Meier looked at Wang Tong and said, "Brother Tong, will you make a limerick poem?" ”
Wang Daodao: "That's good, I'll just recite a poem I wrote before, if I don't write it well, I'm not allowed to laugh at it!"
Lin Chuchu clapped his hands and said, "Master, read it quickly!"
Wang Daodao: "The name of the poem is Mid-Autumn Festival and Bright Moon.
The moon leads to the sun's rays, and the sympathetic yin and yang are chang.
Osmanthus is fragrant, and people are free incense.
The heart is as clean as the moon, and the light dispels the darkness of the world.
The light is out of the center, affectionate and not hurtful. ”
Wu Meier said: "Very good! The heart is bright, the sun and the moon are affectionate!"
Lin Chuchu said: "Master, you lied to people, and you really hid something again! Don't do it! Don't do it! I want to make a song to compensate for my fragile heart that was deceived!"
Wu Meier looked at Wang Tong with a smile, her eyes full of expectation.
Wang Daodao: "This poem is called Mythology.
If immortality can be obtained, why fear the lack of a full moon?
If youth grows up, where is it uncomfortable?
The red face is so cute, and the connotation is beautiful.
Knowing reason is not to blame, Mingde is not outside. ”
Wu Meier said: "Youth is always in every woman's dream, and immortality is also everyone's dream.
Wang Daodao: "You are my confidante!"
Wu Mei'er smiled: "Brother Tong, you are so good, you write down this poem, I want to keep it well!"
Lin Chuchu said: "We are also your confidantes, and we also want a poem." ”
Wang Daodao: "Don't make trouble, you used the wrong word, the first one was given to you!"
Lin Chuchu pursed his lips and said, "Master, you have to write it well and give it to me!" and then smiled slyly and said, "Master, what about Sister Baifu's poems?"
Wang Daodao: "This poem is called to Chang'e.
The Mid-Autumn Festival loves the moon and looks at the hazy beauty.
There are no clouds in the sky, and the beautiful scenery depends on the mood.
He Sun and Moon ascended and played the Yaoqin in the world.
You are the god of the moon, and I am the man of the mountain. ”
Lin Chuchu said: "Master, you are partial, Sister Mei'er is a confidante with a red face, and the connotation is beautiful! Sister Baifu is the goddess of the moon and a fairy in the sky! I am an osmanthus, and others still think it is the village flower Xiaofang! ”
Wang Daodao: "Chu Chu is very good, osmanthus is very fragrant, isn't there also osmanthus in the Moon Palace?"
Lin Chuchu said: "I don't care! The osmanthus of the Moon Palace was cut by Wu Gang, and the end was very miserable, Master, you are cursing me, woo woo, I am so miserable, I am a wild child that no one wants!"
Bai Fu persuaded: "My brother has already done three songs, maybe his brain power is exhausted, Jiang Lang is exhausted, you have to be considerate of your master." Then she pulled away her blindfolded hands, Lin Chuchu was pretending to cry! Quickly blindfolded, looked at Wang Tong through his fingers, and said, "Master, you can make another one, just the last one, and write me beautifully." ”
Wang Tong said: "Chu Chu, you are so naughty. This is the last one, and Master's poems have all been squeezed dry by you. ”
Lin Chuchu excitedly put down his hands that were blocking his eyes and said, "Master, you are so good!"
Wang Daodao: "This poem is called Mid-Autumn Festival Gongchanjuan.
The osmanthus in the moon is full of fragrance, and the moon cakes in the world are round and sweet.
Chang'e danced and thought of a good companion, and Hou Yi worked hard without regrets.
Now you're satisfied, you're a fairy Chang'e, it's beautiful and fragrant!"
Lin Chuchu said: "Not satisfied! Fairy Chang'e is so lonely and miserable alone in the Moon Palace! I want a happy result!"
Wang Daodao: "Didn't you say that you won't regret working hard?"
Lin Chuchu said: "It's too sad, I don't want it, remake it!
Wang Tong shook his head and said, "You little naughty tricks are so numerous! Master really doesn't have any poems related to the moon!"
Lin Chuchu said: "It's okay if it doesn't have anything to do with the moon, as long as you want a song at the end." ”
Wang Tong said: "You have to talk to the truth! You are not allowed to play tricks! Tricks are puppies!"
Lin Chuchu said: "A word is a certainty! Whoever cheats is a puppy!"
Wang Daodao: "This poem is called in the name of immortals.
Appreciate the fairy peach and look at the enchanting world.
The clouds and mountains and rivers are good, and the fame is few. ”
Lin Chuchu said: "I like this song, I am a little fairy, carefree to travel the world, and make contributions." Master, write beautifully, I'm going to frame it and treasure it!"
Wang Tong said: "Okay! Okay! You little girl, your requirements are really high!"
