Chapter 145: Visiting the Grave of His Dead Wife

 On the first Saturday after the Spring Equinox, Deng Shirong’s family started shoveling the mountain.

Early in the morning, Deng Shirong got busy with his children.

In some places, chicken, duck, and fish are all available in Tueshan, and the same sacrifice can be used to worship many ancestors. However, Deng Shirong and his colleagues only need one piece of pork in Tueshan. Of course, this means one piece of pork per grave, and they can worship as many graves as they want. How many pieces of pork should be prepared?

 In addition to pork, there are also tea wine and the essential rice balls.

At this time, Deng Yunzhen was cooking pork, and Zhang Xiuping and Deng Yunzhu were making rice balls. In some places in Bobai County, rice **** need to be made with glutinous rice, but Naye Village does not have this requirement. They only need to use the rice they usually eat to make rice balls. A rice ball as big as a child’s fist will do.

Deng Shirong is not idle either. He is weaving a long "stem snake" out of rice. This straw snake will be lit when the first grave is being shoveled and will remain burning until he returns home. So far, this is done to bring Feng Shui luck home.

“Mom, if you still need anything, just give it to me in your dream...”

 At this time, people in the entire Shuangwang Realm are shoveling mountains, so we often meet other shoveling teams on the road, and they usually say hello to each other. Everyone is busy shoveling mountains, and they have no intention of stopping to chat.

 “Uncle Nine!”

After doing this, Deng Yunheng clasped his hands together, saluted and prayed: "Grandpa Zeng, if you have a spirit in heaven, please bless me to perform exceptionally during the college entrance examination this year and get into the best university. Then next year I will definitely Bring enough money and good wine and food to pay homage to your old man.”

Deng Shirong looked at the earthen grave in front of him and murmured in his heart: "Old woman, I was already going to see you, but I don't know which ancestor threw me back to 1980. It seems that we want to meet each other. , it will take at least forty years, maybe even longer.

After the family had dinner, Deng Shirong saw that his children and daughter-in-law were consciously picking up books to study. While he was pleased, he couldn't help but think of those families with good economic conditions in later generations who would usually hire tutors for their children.

For Deng Shirong, his deceased wife has been gone for nearly fifty years, but for his children, their mother has only been gone for a few years. Except for the young Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng, the other children still remember her clearly. Mother's voice and smile.

After walking for more than half an hour, Deng Shirong and his children came to the first grave to be repaired today, which was also his grandfather's grave.

 What man wouldn’t like such a woman?

After burning the gold and silver, setting off the firecrackers, and all the things that needed to be said, Deng Shirong saw that it was getting late, so he said to his daughter-in-law, "Okay, it's getting late. Put away your things and get ready to go back!" "

Deng Shirong still had feelings for his deceased wife. Although their marriage was arranged by his parents, his wife had always held herself to the standard of obeying her husband when she married. She could be said to obey his words. She had never refuted a word to him after being married to him for more than ten years. talk.

In this era, people shoveled mountains according to seniority from high to low. In later generations, because it was too hard to shovel, they shoveled according to the route. The two graves that were close to each other were shoveled first, regardless of seniority.

Even, in order to save trouble, the troops are often divided into two or even three groups, and shovel according to the route planned in advance, striving to maximize efficiency.

Deng Yuntai and other brothers ordered tools, including gold, silver, incense paper, firecrackers and the like.

Deng Yuntai and Deng Yunzhen also came to salute. And Deng Shirong also murmured in his heart: "Grandpa, I'm back, and I will definitely be a good patriarch, so that our lineage will flourish as soon as possible, and we will prosper in both people and wealth, and live up to the expectations of our ancestors." ”

Deng Yunheng naturally didn't believe this, but now that his father had spoken, he would not object. Instead, he smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll shovel a hat for Grandpa Zeng."

 …

　　　…”

After paying homage to his ancestors, Deng Shirong took his children and daughter-in-law to the hilltop opposite his home in the afternoon to pay homage to his deceased wife.

 …

This time without Deng Shirong’s reminder, everyone knelt down to talk to their mother.

 Think about him in everything and respect him everywhere.

 After the ceremony, the family packed up their things and headed home.

 After so many years, I have almost forgotten what you look like, and I don’t know how you are doing in another world? "

Thereupon, several young ones also came over obediently and saluted.

 “Nine Dukes!”

“Mom, I’ve burned so much money for you, you can spend it down here as you need, there’s no need to save.”

Because Deng Shirong has a high seniority, there are actually not many families in his family, just his grandfather's generation and his father's generation. Grandpa Zeng's generation is already a large family.

Deng Yuntai helped his wife kneel down and said: "Mom, the person kneeling next to me is called Zhang Xiuping. She is the wife my father found for me. She is beautiful and hard-working, and has a gentle and kind personality. You must have a spirit in heaven." Please take good care of her and the child in her belly.”

While repairing the shovel, Deng Shirong looked at his second son and said, "Yunheng, you have more than three months to take the college entrance examination. Your grandpa Zeng is a teacher and a cultural person. You pay your respects to him today." , let him help you successfully enter your ideal university."

Zhang Xiuping has been married to the Deng family for a few months. After experiencing things between men and women, she is not as shy as she was when she was a girl. When her husband introduced her, she also said: "Mom, I am your eldest daughter-in-law. I can marry you." Yuntai is the greatest luck in my life. Please rest assured that I will do my duty as a wife and work hard to help the Deng family. "

Hearing this, the sons and daughters-in-law all came to the grave and knelt down to salute again:

“Mom, let’s go back first and come see you next year.”

 When everything was ready, the family set out to shovel the mountain, with those carrying the burdens, those holding the straw and those holding the tools holding tools.

Deng Shirong looked on with a smile. After his second son finished saluting, he looked at the younger ones and said, "You all come here to pay your respects, and let Grandpa Zeng bless you for good health and academic progress." ”

Zhang Xiuping is pregnant now. If she goes to shovel the mountain, she has to walk such a long way and climb several mountains. Naturally, it is not suitable to go on the road, so she stays at home.

As he spoke, Deng Yunheng walked to the grass next to him, shoveled a decent-looking hat with a shovel, trimmed it a little with the shovel, then put the hat on the top of the earthen grave and pressed it vertically. A piece of yellow paper.

 Deng Shirong was born in 1936. For rural people of his generation, they already believed in certain things. In addition, he was reborn, which made them even more convinced.

Although he doesn’t understand education, he also understands that the effects are completely different between being taught and self-study.

Since he doesn’t need this little money, he might as well hire a tutor for his children and daughter-in-law!

    I have worked on a few book titles, but found that they are not as good as the original ones, so I might as well change them back instead of bothering with them.
