Rebirth of Private Chef Xiao Ai

Chapter 36

Qingming is approaching and the weather is getting warmer. The peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain have already reached the halfway up the mountain. Looking from a distance, they are tender red.The [-]th day after the winter solstice of the old year is the Qingming Festival of the new year, and it is also the season of spring plowing, and the farmers have started to work.There is a mountain to be crossed from the old house of the Gu family to the family’s ancestral grave. When Gu Linsheng took Gu Lousheng, Song Cheng and Dou’er to go, he stood on the mountain and looked at the lush greenery below the mountain. Qingsheng's birthday."

Qingming is the new time, so it is named Gu Qingsheng.Gu Linsheng said that Qingsheng was born at Shenshi on this day.Gu Lousheng also looked at the brilliant peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain, and didn't understand why his elder brother brought up Qingsheng again.Although Shen Ke had already taken Qingsheng away when they went that day, Gu Lousheng was now reminded by Gu Linsheng's sigh, and felt that there was something that his elder brother didn't tell them.

Gu Linsheng looked at the foot of the mountain, sighed, and continued to lead Lou Sheng and the others to the other side of the mountain without saying anything.Gu Linsheng also heard Chang Xin mention it this morning. When he was about to leave the house, Chang Xin held his son and stopped him suddenly, telling him that today is Qingsheng's birthday.Gu Linsheng was stunned at the time, and asked Chang Xin why he mentioned this, but Chang Xin didn't answer, but just waved at him with his son's little hand, and said, "I can't go to the grave with Xin'er, let's fly a kite when you come back. It can also be regarded as a blessing for Xin'er and Qingsheng."

Several important customs of the Ching Ming Festival include outings, kite flying and Cuju besides cold food and tomb sweeping, hanging paper and planting willow branches.However, here in Anping County, they only know how to sweep graves, hang paper and plant willow branches. Only those who have newcomers at home and those who pray in the mailbox will fly kites. What a leisurely way to go for an outing.

The further you go, the more it is Shanyin. Although the weather is getting warmer, it is still a bit cold in Shanyin.Song Cheng looked at Gu Lousheng and rubbed his hands as if he was a little cold, so he stretched out his hand to take the food box in Gu Lousheng's hand, so that Gu Lousheng could retract his hand to warm it up. "I'm fine." Gu Lousheng turned his head and smiled at Song Cheng, and brought the food box back. Song Cheng already had a lot of paper money in his hand, so he just let himself bring the food box.

It was almost noon when we crossed the hill and arrived at the Gu family's ancestral grave.Everyone was a little tired after walking for an hour. Dou'er ran not far away and folded a willow branch and came back. He looked up at the people and said, "Let's go, I've folded the willow branch." Gu Lousheng nodded , helped Song Cheng across a ditch, and then he lifted his gown and stepped over the stone embankment.

Across the stone embankment and past the field pile in front is the ancestral grave of the Gu family.Looking from a distance on the stone embankment, Gu Lousheng could already see a few familiar relatives there, thinking that he would inevitably greet the elders after the meeting, so he decided to take advantage of today to let his relatives know Song Cheng, it's better than waiting until the day they get married to let them know who they are going to spend their whole life with.Although letting his relatives know about Song Cheng's existence will not hinder his and Song Cheng's life, but thinking about Song Cheng's care for him, Gu Lousheng felt that if everyone in the Gu family knew, it was his Gu family. Lou Sheng's people, even if they are cooks, can't be bullied by anyone.

"When we meet the relatives at home, introduce Song Cheng to them together, and say that you are already engaged. When will you iron the post and send it to them." When he arrived at the ancestor's grave, Gu Linsheng was in a better mood. many.Looking at Lou Sheng's expression, he already guessed what Lou Sheng was thinking, so he turned around and gave some instructions.At the beginning of this year, Gu Xin was added, and now Lou Sheng has someone who can spend his whole life, and Song Cheng is very kind to Lou Sheng.Gu Linsheng remembered that the two elders left early, and now that the family is harmonious and happy, and the two elders are in the sky, they can look at their descendants with a smile.

"Well, I don't need to remind you, I also want to say it." Gu Lousheng took a step forward, leaned sideways and held Song Cheng's hand backwards, and pulled him hard, pulling him up the stone steps.Douer followed behind and looked at them with a smile, pointing to the sky: "Grandpa must be very happy to see you so close."

When he arrived in front of the ancestral grave, Gu Linsheng took out a small sickle from the wooden box, mowed the weeds on the grave neatly, turned around and asked Song Cheng to hand over a bunch of yellow tomb papers.Song Cheng stepped forward to hand it over, only to see Gu Linsheng took a brick and pressed the tomb paper on the grave.Gu Lousheng explained to Song Cheng in a low voice, that the tomb papers of different colors were pressed on the tomb to represent that the tomb has descendants to worship, not a wild tomb.Although the Gu family's ancestral graves are all next to each other, this custom has continued. Gu Linsheng will do this every year, especially this year when the family has a new heir, Gu Linsheng is more solemn about doing it.

After the tomb paper was pressed, Gu Linsheng stood up and asked Song Cheng and Gu Lousheng to take out all the offerings from the food box, light candles, and Douer burned the paper money. "Father, now Chang Xin and I have a new baby, but it's only a few months old, and I can bring it to you in the coming year. Lou Sheng also has a sweetheart, and he's getting married soon, you two elders can rest assured. Although you have never seen Douer, but we bring him so many times every year, you should know him... Douer is about to start a family, and now the family is harmonious and the business is doing well. You can do it too. Take it easy."

When the elders of the Gu family passed away, Gu Lousheng was still young, and now he really brought Song Cheng to the grave, so he couldn't help thinking about what to say for a long time.But after much deliberation, he finally just held Song Cheng's hand, then both knelt down and looked at the tombstone in front of him, and told his parents cleanly and crisply: "Dad, Dad, I'm going to marry Song Cheng." After telling all his feelings, he told the second elder with this simple sentence that he found the right person.

I paid homage to the ancestral graves and worshiped my parents.Gu Lousheng didn't let go of Song Cheng's hand until he stood up and walked towards his relatives not far away.Song Cheng felt that Gu Lousheng's hands were hotter than ever before. He looked back at the graves of the two elders of the Gu family, and then saw Gu Lousheng dragging himself to the relatives, and felt like a stone fell to the ground again.I am just a cook, and I came here as a refugee. Now that I want to marry Gu Lousheng, I don't know if the Gu family will object.

There are well-known families everywhere who say this, even the entire Lin'an country is no problem.But Song Cheng understood that Gu Lousheng didn't care whether it was the wrong family or not. What he said that night about getting married was absolutely true.Since Gu Linsheng and Chang Xin had no objections, the rest of the Gu family could never say anything to sway him.Standing behind them, Gu Linsheng looked at the backs of Song Cheng and Gu Lousheng, and sighed with a smile.Dou'er sighed and looked up, and asked Gu Linsheng, "Why is Daddy sighing?"

"Lou Sheng's temperament really follows me. When I wanted to marry Chang Xin, I brought him to the elders like this. Even though they felt that the family was not right, I still married Chang Xin. Lou Sheng must have been afraid. Song Cheng must have been bullied by them, so I was anxious to let them all know that Song Cheng is already a member of our Gu family, his husband, and no one else can bully him. Alas, it’s hard for those old elders, this kind of misfit I have been saying the wrong things for so many years." Gu Linsheng thought of Shen Ke and Qingsheng again, and at this moment he understood why Chang Xin suddenly sighed before he came out this morning.

"Why did you come back so soon, and told the elders?" Gu Linsheng thought about it, lost his mind for a while, and didn't notice that both Song Cheng and Gu Lousheng had returned.Looking at the departing figures of the elders, Gu Linsheng felt that it was better not to say hello, but to wait for the relatives to pass the invitations after a while, and walk around again.To be honest, since Gu Linsheng learned about Qingsheng from Shen Ke, Gu Linsheng went back and asked Chang Xin to find out how stubborn the older generations of the Gu family are.

"Well, I said that Song Cheng and I are engaged, and we will invite them to have a drink on the day we get married." Gu Lousheng smiled, took Song Cheng's hand and shook his elder brother: "There is an uncle who recognized Song Cheng. Cheng is the cook of our restaurant, and I whispered to a few other elders, and I didn't say anything more, I bid farewell and came back."

Gu Linsheng nodded, looked at Song Cheng, and found that he didn't seem to be particularly concerned about it, so he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.Song Cheng really put all his heart and soul into Gu Lousheng. Gu Lousheng's current behavior can already satisfy Song Cheng!

"Let's go, it's time to go home." Gu Linsheng patted Song Cheng on the shoulder, looked back at the ancestral grave that had already been planted with wicker, and took a few people on the way home.When they arrived at the gate of the house, Chang Xin had already been waiting there, prepared grapefruit leaves and grapefruit water, and sprinkled them on everyone to dispel bad and negative energy.

"Go, go, hurry up and give me a bath, or you won't be able to touch me." Chang Xin ordered some grapefruit leaves for them, and then drove them all to take a bath.By the time everyone finished taking a bath and came out to eat, it was almost evening. "I asked someone to buy two kites. It happens to be evening now, let's go and fly them."

Before Chang Xin said it, Gu Lousheng made two more small lanterns, but they were made of plain paper, not fancy.Gu Lousheng tied the paper lantern to the string of the kite, and then handed the string to Chang Xin.Legend has it that this kind of kite tied with lanterns is called a magic lantern, which can pray for blessings and make wishes, just like the lanterns on the Lantern Festival.

Chang Xin held her son's little hand and pinched the kite's string. When the kite was flying high, Gu Linsheng asked Gu Linsheng to cut the string with scissors, and let the kite drift with the wind.When the two kites were flying, and the light of the candles was flying away with the kites in the wind, Chang Xin murmured to herself, "May Xin'er be safe and sound, free from disease and disaster, and may Qingsheng be as well. Ann, happy birthday."

Just as the eyes of several people were following the kite away, suddenly a tired voice came from not far away from them, making everyone startled. "I'm not doing well, why are you flying this kite for me to eliminate diseases and eliminate bad luck? I haven't been to your place for many years, and I almost lost my way..."

Chang Xin hugged Gu Xin and turned her head abruptly, seeing the man who had no legs, leaning against a willow tree and smiling at them, suddenly felt extremely distressed.

"Qingsheng!" Hearing Chang Xin's crying voice, the man in white and green shirt leaned on crutches and nodded with a smile.
