simple life

When they got home, it was almost time for dinner.They got up early this morning and didn't have breakfast, so they were already hungry.Lu Zhongze and the others also thought of this, and called to ask when they would be back, so they figured out the time to prepare the food, and they could start eating as soon as they came back.

Tang Feng distributed chopsticks to everyone, and asked, "How is it? Did Lingma say anything?"

Tang Guo smiled and said: "Well, you can go to worship. But it's better to go the day after the Ching Ming Festival. You can offer fruits and drinks, but you can't hang the grave and set off firecrackers."

Tang Feng was taken aback: "That's not difficult at all! Instead, it reduces our workload."

Tang Guo said again: "There is more than this happy event today. A Li is going to start writing, and he wants to adapt the story of the two of them into a novel!"

Tang Feng and Tang's father were taken aback after hearing this, especially Tang's father, he never thought that the matter of those two people would be written into a book, even if it was an adaptation, it was based on the two of them.

Tang's father asked, "Why did Ali have such an idea?"

Bai Li: "Actually, last year when you talked about this matter, Dad, you had a little idea, and then you were suppressed. When I came here and saw the surrounding environment, it provided me with a model in my mind, so I really wanted to Write it out."

At this time, Tang Guo hurriedly said: "Dad, we have asked the Lingma about this matter, as long as we tell them the matter during the worship, and then offer three sticks of incense, as long as the incense burns smoothly, everything will be fine."

When Tang Guo said this, Father Tang felt relieved. "You can figure it out."

Bai Li made a request: "Dad, I want to know more about them. Do you have any impression? Although it is going to be adapted, I hope it will be more real..."

Father Tang thought for a while: "There are some more, some interesting little things that happened when they were still alive."

In fact, if it was someone else's interesting story, he would have forgotten it after so long.He can't remember now some of the funnier scene dialogues from other people back then.But the two of them are different. During the time when they just left, things about them from the past popped up in his mind from time to time, and he couldn't forget them even if he wanted to. Although he is getting older and his memory is not as good as before, their memories There are still many things to remember.

Upon hearing this, Bai Li's eyes sparkled with surprise: "That's great."

Father Tang was very happy to be able to help Bai Li.But then sighed again: "It's a pity that many old people don't want to mention this matter, especially their families. It's not good to ask rashly, otherwise you will get more news, especially when they are trapped at home and Some conjectures about making that choice later. But since it’s an adaptation, can you process it yourself based on what I know?”

Bai Li nodded: "I will try my best to bring it closer to reality, but some places must be processed."

Tang's father nodded: "Since that's the case, I'll tell you some things I still remember in the past two days, and write them out for you."

Bai Li: "Thank you Dad!" You could tell from his voice that he was very happy. "I will show it to you when I write it out, and then I will ask you to correct it for me."

Father Tang nodded readily: "Haha, okay!"

On the second day of Ching Ming Festival, at noon, Tang Guo and the others set off from home with two or three baskets containing incense, candles, wine, etc., and a hoe and sickle.

The tomb sweeping on their side was basically finished on the day of Ching Ming Festival, so they hardly saw anyone sweeping the tomb when they went out.Along the way, you can see a string of white graves hanging on the foot of the distant mountains.A string represents a tomb. Some family-style cemeteries are densely packed, and people dare not approach them just by looking at them. It is estimated that no one will pass by there except for the large number of people going to the tomb during the Qingming Festival.

The two of them were alone in a quiet valley, and they were said to be lonely, but they are not lonely when they are together and clinging to each other.

As the saying goes, one generation does not care about three generations.Maybe when their parents were still there, although it was a taboo, they would definitely come over to weed or something, not to mention their parents' generation, even their elder brother, younger brother, etc., would definitely come to help.

But now, their parents have passed away, and their elder brother and younger brother are much older than Tang's father. Even if they haven't passed away, they must be in bad spirits.Nowadays, many matters related to Qingming must be handed over to the younger generation.And their elders kept this secret and didn't mention it to the younger generation, so the younger generation didn't have any feelings for them. As time passed, they stopped coming to take care of them and turned into wild graves.

In the past, when every household raised cattle, every piece of grass was eaten up by cattle, and it was difficult for weeds to grow.But now everyone uses mechanical products, the cattle are gone, and the weeds are growing wildly.

They walked all the way, and the weeds reached their knees. Fortunately, the length of this kind of weeds is only this limit, otherwise it must be taller than a person.

After finally walking to the destination, there is a small dirt bag covered by crazy weeds.The weeds on the small soil bag are different from those on the flat ground. This kind of grass is tall and long, and the two sides of the leaves are like blades, which can scratch people if they are not careful.

Some of them put on gloves and took scythes to remove the weeds on and around them.Tang's father dug a small piece of land in front of it with a hoe, mainly for burning incense, wax and paper.This prevents the fire from spreading accidentally.

After finishing it, Tang Guo took out a woven bag and laid it out in front, and together with Jiang Qi, placed the tributes they brought on it in an orderly manner.

Father Tang began to burn incense and candles and pray...

Afterwards, everyone surrounded and burned a lot of paper money.

Towards the end, Father Tang told about Bai Li, and then asked Bai Li to say a few words by himself, and then asked him to light three sticks of incense himself and put them in front.

Everyone held their breath to see what would happen.When the incense seemed to be unable to burn well, everyone couldn't help but sweat.The Suo Xing Incense was completely burned, and everyone relaxed.Should I believe this kind of thing or not?Saying that I don't believe it, I feel very suspenseful, and saying that I want to believe it, but it has no substantive impact.But all in all it's awe-inspiring.

Everyone was very happy when they got the "permission".Bai Li pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything after all.

After making sure that there was no trace of Mars left behind, everyone packed up their things and returned along the original road.

On their side, there are many azaleas on the mountain.Before the Ching Ming Festival in previous years, Azalea was opened one after another.It is very beautiful to decorate the hillside that is still full of withered grass.Due to the weather, this year's rhododendrons basically didn't bloom, but there were red buds.

Tang Guo felt itchy in his heart when he saw it, he directly cut off several branches with a sickle, and when he got home, wiped it in the water, and then dripped a little spirit spring, it would definitely bloom well.

He also asked Yan Ting to help him dig out a small plant. Anyway, they came back by car, so it was easy to carry.When you get home, find an abandoned pot to plant it in, and put it in the trunk when you go back and take it back with you.

After returning home, Tang Ma immediately surrounded her and asked, "How is it?"

Bai Li smiled and said, "I agree."

After hearing this, Mama Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "That's good!"

Jiang Qi complained from the side: "Mom, you don't know how difficult the road is, there are weeds everywhere, and they grow very tall. Fortunately, I listened to you and put on those long socks to wrap the trouser legs in, otherwise I didn't even dare to go. Thinking about the snakes, insects, rats and ants that might appear in the grass, and they even got in from the bottom of his trousers, it's really..." He trembled unconsciously.

Tang Ma said with a smile: "Nowadays there are no cattle in every household, and weeds can easily grow tall..."

Tang Feng: "I can't wait to take a shower right now. I've been sweating after walking for a long time. And although the trouser legs are well wrapped, I can't stand the thought of crawling over my insteps with anything."

Tang's mother: "Then you can go now. The water is hot and you can take a bath."

Tang Feng was pleasantly surprised: "Really?!" Then I will go right away.With that said, he hurried back to his room to get his clothes, and hurried into the bathroom.

Seeing his appearance, Tang's mother shook her head and smiled, even though he is so big, sometimes he acts like a child in some actions.She turned her head and said: "Anyone of you who wants to take a bath can wait a while, he can go to wash when he comes out." Then she shouted to the bathroom: "You wash faster, they have to wash too!"

Tang Feng echoed: "Got it!"

Although this trip is a bit tiring and scary, it is still worth it.At least it is a comfort to everyone.
