In the evening, the he family set up six tables.
It's just that there are more than a hundred people sitting together, which shows the size of the he family and the number of people.
Song Xintong and her grandmother sat down next to each other, and their awake hands were slowly biting an egg roll. They were afraid that they would be seen. They had been secretly on guard all around, but she didn't know that her actions were seen by people around her, which made her aunt and others laugh.
Grandmother looked at the clever warm, the bottom of my heart love is not good, "warm can be really clever."
Song Xintong pinched the head of the bag. "Grandma praised you. Please say thank you."
"Thank you," he said
"Oh, that's sensible."
"If only a few monkeys at home were as sensible as wennuan."
After a lot of praise, he finally moved his chopsticks. Song Xintong, who was already hungry, was not polite and began to eat slowly. After a meal, everyone became more intimate.
After dinner, everyone sat in the hall and talked.
My grandmother took song Xintong by the hand and kept talking about my mother's childhood. She said that she missed her so much in her heart. Unfortunately, the white haired man sent the black haired man Balabala, "fortunately I found you, fortunately I found you..."
"No crying." Nuan Nuan wiped her grandmother's eyes with a small handkerchief. "It's not good to cry, it's not good to cry."
"Yes, it's not good-looking. Warm is so sweet." Grandma trembled and wiped her eyes, wiping away the turbid tears, "you stay here for a long time, take a good look at the place where your mother lived as a child."
In fact, song Xintong had already discussed with uncle He Wei. He would worship his ancestors tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow.
He Wei looked at his niece's eyes for help, then coughed twice. He went up to his mother and said, "mother, Xintong, they still have to go to the capital, so I want to open a ancestral temple tomorrow to offer sacrifices to their ancestors, so they can go earlier in the future."
Grandma was not happy. "Just one day? What are you doing in Beijing? "
"Niang, your grandson and son-in-law are full of people. They have to go to the capital to take part in the imperial examination next year. It's too late." He Wei said: "granddaughters, they specially detour to see their mother, but there is no time to delay. When they are free, they will come to see you later."
"It's a lift?" My grandmother was shocked to see the landing clouds open, and clapped her hands happily: "good, good, really good, our family hasn't had a lift for many years."
It's not your he family to raise a person, thought the grandmother's sisters-in-law. But they are happy to raise a person, but they have a chance to be an official. Their family hasn't had any official relatives for many years. The most powerful one in the he family's school has only been a scholar, and they haven't been successful in the examination.
Grandmother said: "that can not be delayed, then... Xintong you stay?"
My aunt said with a smile, "it's impossible. Xintong, they have to take care of my uncle, or they won't go with me, right?"
Song Xintong embarrassed smile, and then said: "grandmother, when the next year's scientific examination is over, free to return to Lingnan, then we will come here to see you, when the time is certain to stay a few days, or you can go to the capital, so that you can stay with us more."
Granny giggled and showed her gums: "Granny won't go. She's old and can't walk any more. You'd better come and see me more in the future."
"Grandma is not old." Said the twins.
"Old." Grandma said with a smile: "boss, since Xintong are on their way, they should worship their ancestors earlier. You should go and talk to the patriarch earlier, and the ancestral hall will be opened tomorrow morning."
He Wei said: "don't worry, I've already said it, and the patriarch should give up."
"It's a great joy for us to find Xintong. Please have a good time tomorrow." My grandmother said.
He Wei: "Niang, I also think so."
"Grandma, uncle, don't be so heavy." Song Xintong is afraid of causing trouble to the he family.
"Not thick, not thick." My grandmother waved her hand and said, "go to Liujia village and invite their Liujia troupe to play until tomorrow night."
"Yes, I'll let da'er go now." He Wei said to the sons behind him, "er'er, go to Majia village and ask the chef to prepare the food, make it rich and make it better."
"Well, we'll go now."
The next day, the East was white.
Song Xintong was woken up by the sound of building a shed in the village outside. She looked at the white sky and said, "it's estimated that when it's only Mao time, the village will get up."
"Do you want to get up or sleep a little longer?" Lu Yunkai gets up every morning to fight and read books. He keeps on reading every day to prepare for the next year's examination.
"Come on." Song Xintong put on Lu Yunkai's clothes. "I saw that the ancestral hall of he family is so big. Dabao and Xiaobao must kneel and faint today. I have to prepare two cushions for them, otherwise they must be blue and purple."
Song Xintong is very happy. He family is so old-fashioned and feudal. Married women can't enter the ancestral hall, while married women's men can enter, but they can only kneel down to the third door, and then their legitimate sons and grandchildren can enter.
Lu Yunkai: "didn't you just do it last night?"
"It's not sewn yet." Song Xintong said with a smile: "do not dare to look for cotton in a big way, so as not to be said by my grandmother is not sincere."
Lu Yunkai looked at the opened quilt and said, "then remove the warm quilt?"
"Wennuan doesn't need it now. It works." Song Xintong picked up four small cushions and sewed them slowly.
After daybreak, after breakfast, He Wei took the twins to the ancestral hall, while song Xintong stood in the outermost room to worship, and then stood aside. Taking advantage of this gap, song Xintong ordered Daya to go shopping in the county.
An hour later, after the sacrifice of the twins, they both went out, dispirited, and said strangely that fortunately there was something from sister a, otherwise their legs would have to kneel and swell.
"Uncle, the stage over there has also been set up. It can start in the past." He Wei said.
The old man who is called uncle is the patriarch. Song Xintong calls uncle as they please. Anyway, she can't remember that the whole village is relatives. It's too hard to remember.
"Good." The patriarch took the others to the village.
Today, the troupe has two meals for a day's performance. It's simpler at noon and the heavy dishes are all in the evening.
He Wei and song Xintong lead them to the cemetery on the other side of the mountain. Their grandfather is buried in the cemetery on the mountain. When they come here, they will naturally go to worship their grandfather, not even Lu Yunkai and wennuan.
The terrain of Hejia village is very flat. It's different from the steep mountain of Taohua village. It's called a hill after walking a very gentle slope. Mulberry trees are planted everywhere, mu by mu, and there are boundaries between each mu, which indicates that it's the mulberry trees of different families.
After walking for a long time, they finally found a cemetery in a mountain depression. There were many tombs in it, all of them with the surname he.
My grandfather was an old man, so he was buried in the front of the tomb, which was easy to find. He Changqing was engraved on the tombstone.
"This is your grandfather's grave." He Wei pointed to the tombstone and said, "Dad, my son has finally found Xiuer, but Xiuer is no longer there, so my son has come back with Xiuer's daughter, son-in-law, son and granddaughter."
He Wei said to song Xintong, "come and burn Ming paper for my grandfather."
