Chapter 204

The ox cart quickly drove into Linjia village, but it didn't stop in the village and went straight to the mountain behind.

Most of the Linjia villages are surnamed Lin. although they are far away, they are not big clans. They are buried separately.

Farmers are usually buried in the mountains, and Lin radial is familiar with driving cattle carts up the gentle slope.

Because their travel day is not Qingming Day, the village ancestor worship has not yet started on a large scale, along the way are mostly spring farmers.

The spring breeze is warm, blowing the green wheat seedlings. If you look closely, many of them will be heading.

A Zhi and a Si excitedly say that the wheat in this field is heavier than that in that one, and the water in this field is less

Although Yao Shu lived in the village for a long time, he was not very familiar with the crops. He listened to the comments of the two children with a smile and nodded his head.

Lin radial was driving in front of her. From time to time, he looked back at her and occasionally asked, "is it sun drying? Are you thirsty? "

She wore a light dress today, avoiding bright colors, simple and elegant.

But before going out, Lin radial did not know where to find a straw hat, half forced to wear it on her head.

He looked up at Yao Shu's eyes and said, "second sister-in-law says you're not sun resistant."

Yao Shu immediately had no way to refuse.

Now sitting safely on the ox cart, he was still worried about it. Yao Shu couldn't help laughing: "why don't you ask the children whether they are thirsty or not and can't be dried in the sun?"

Lin radial finally glanced at a Zhi and a Si's face, but stopped at Sanbao and quickly took it back: "do you think they look thirsty?"

Children rarely go out by ox cart. They are as excited as the wind. They can't stop chattering. Even Sanbao, ah ah, said unknown words to participate in the discussion. They are very spiritual.

Lin Du said, "if you cross a slope ahead, you'll be there."

Yao Shu straightened up and sorted out the incense and paper money he needed later. Soon the ox cart stopped.

She picked up Sanbao and got out of the car. The two children also jumped out.

Yao Shu grew up in an orphanage and never had a chance to worship his ancestors.

After consulting Mrs. Jiang, she prepared all the things for ancestor worship.

Only here, Yao Shu can't help feeling strange.

From afar, green is everywhere on the hillside, and the ancestors of the Lin family were buried in this green.

To Yao Shu's surprise, from a distance, every tomb was just a small mound, scattered on the land, looking irregular.

And the tombs have no names.

Lin radial took paper money, sacrifices and other things from the ox cart, took his wife and children, and walked to an ugly earth bag.

He put down his things and said to Yao Shu, "grandfather and grandmother are buried here."

In a tomb, two husband and wife are often buried, and their sons surround them.

But now it seems that the place where Lin radial's grandfather and grandmother were buried has long been covered with green grass.

Surprised at the simplicity of the peasants' burying the dead, Yao Shu nodded and said nothing more.

Lin radial simply cleaned up the weeds in front of the grave, and then bent down to put the sacrifices Yao Shu brought one by one in front of the grave.

The silence on his face was different from that of the past. It was a peaceful, relaxed silence.

"Grandfather, grandmother, here we are."

His eyes were fixed on the tomb, and he said softly, "my grandson will see you when he comes back. Now Qingming, he just brings Sanbao to show you to the second elder."

Yao Shu, holding Sanbao in his arms, took a step forward, learning from Lin radial's appearance, and said in a warm voice, "grandfather and grandmother, this is our third child, whose name is Lin Shen."

The baby's eyes are full of ignorant look, do not understand what adults let him see.

In his opinion, such an ordinary earth bag was not as beautiful as the vivid scenery around him, so he turned his head again.

Lin radial ordered incense and handed them to Yao Shu children respectively.

A Zhi and a Si took incense in their hands, knelt down in front of the tomb next to Lin radial, kowtowed to their dead ancestors, and silently recited their wish for the ancestors' blessing.

Yao Shu, holding Sanbao in his arms, followed Lin radial's movements and silently recited what she could think of and completed the ceremony.

"Grandparents I hope you will keep ah radial and the children safe and healthy. "

Lin Du put the brazier aside, lit the yellow paper with the burning incense, and began to put it into the brazier slowly.

The wind gently blows the vegetation on the hill, making a rustling sound, blowing the red flame to the edge of the basin and disappearing with the dissipation of the black ashes.

This solemn atmosphere was filled with a kind of quiet that touched people's mind. In Yao Shu's original consciousness, there was nothing left when people died and the lights went out.

But such a strange experience of crossing, and it really happened to me She could not help but wonder whether there is a soul in human beings, and whether the worship of ancestors handed down for thousands of years really has its original meaning.Thinking wildly and seeing the young faces of ah Zhi and ah Si, Yao Shu said -

if she and Lin radial grow old in the future and end up buried together in the mountains like the ancestors of the Lin family, will the children remember them like this every year?

When the ceremony was finished, a Si raised his head and asked Yao Shu, "Aung, can my grandfather and grandmother really receive the paper money we burned?"

Yao Shu looked at the remaining ashes after the yellow paper burned out in the brazier and said in a warm voice, "as long as Er Bao is sincere, my grandparents will receive it."

The time of worship was not long. Before he left, Lin radial took out a small bottle of wine from his arms and poured it in front of the tomb.

Ashu looked at him for a moment, but listened to him: "grandfather loved to drink, but he was not in good health and could not drink more. I'll bring him some today, so that he can satisfy his hunger. "

Yao Shu smiles and doesn't speak.

On the way back, the children had regained their usual liveliness, but Yao Shu had something on his mind and didn't speak much.

Ah Zhi saw the difference between his mother and asked her, "Aung, are you uncomfortable?"

Lin radial, who was driving in front of him, keenly caught this sentence. He looked back at Yao Shu and said to the boy, "ah Zhi, give you the straw hat."

Yao Shu saw that he had been looking at himself and said, "I'm ok. You can catch your car."

The sun is rising slowly. It's really a bit too hot.

Turning a corner, Lin radial asked if she wanted to go to the shady place in front of her for a rest.

Yao Shu could not laugh or cry. He felt that Lin radial regarded himself as a porcelain doll, and he had gone too far.

It can be seen that he often looked back, obviously not at ease, she had to say: "then have a rest, you also drink some water."

The ox cart stopped under the tall jujube trees. The trees were full of branches and leaves, blocking the scorching sunshine in spring.

Yao Shu took out the water pot from the car, poured some water out, and shared it with the children first.

Then she poured another bowl, handed it to Lin radial and asked, "are you tired?"

The man basks all the way in front of the car, but there is no sweat on his forehead.

He looked at Yao Shu and said, "you drink first."

Yao Shu was helpless. Seeing that he insisted, he had to take a drink and handed it to Lin radial.

Lin Du was really thirsty. He raised his head and drank all the water in the bowl, which made his throat feel more comfortable.

Yao Shu said in a strange way: "if you are thirsty, why don't you say it? Do you have to ask someone to drink water? If I didn't let you drink, wouldn't I be thirsty all the way? "

Men are used to patience and don't feel anything.

What he cares about now is something more important.

But when Lin radial's eyes were on Yao Shu again, she finally couldn't help it. She said suspiciously, "Lin radial, you've seen me countless times this morning. When you just came back from burning paper, you looked at me seven or eight times. Come on, what's up? "

The two children had sharp ears and stopped talking. They deliberately stood closer to the adults and overheard their parents.

Lin radial found them and gave a look to a Zhi to join in the fun. However, he pretended not to see them and turned his head around.

The man had no choice but to approach Yao Shu and said to her in a low voice: "nothing, just worried about your body."
