Farmhouse Chronicle [Farming]

Chapter 9

The days before the Chinese New Year always passed very slowly, and finally made it to the morning of the New Year's Eve, Yang Tianlin ran to the entrance of the village early in the morning to pick up his father.Yang Tong said he would come back on New Year's Eve, but he didn't say when. Yang Tianlin waited all morning and didn't see his father, and he was hungry, so he wanted to go back, but when he thought about what if he left, his father would not see him again. When he came, he couldn't meet people, so he stopped again, sitting on the big rock by the roadside at the entrance of the village and waiting for people.

According to the customs of Yangjia Village, New Year's Eve is the day when people go up the mountain to visit the graves of their ancestors. After breakfast, the men in the family will take their children out to visit the graves.Most of the people in the village have their ancestors living in this small village for generations. Most of the people in Yangjia Village are surnamed Yang, and there is also the ancestral grave of the Yang family, but after the relationship between everyone has gradually drifted away, going to the ancestral grave is only for three generations. The relatives within the family go to the grave, and the others don't care.

Yang Tianlin looked at the people who went out one after another, and felt even more anxious, why daddy hasn't come back yet, Huzi and the others are going out.

As soon as Huzi went out, he saw Yang Tianlin at the entrance of the village. His home was at the entrance of the village. But there were no people there, and the entrance of the village was even more windy, so it was very cold, Linzi probably stayed here early in the morning to wait for his father.

"Linzi, your father hasn't come back yet!" Because he was about to go up the mountain, Huzi was carrying a lot of sacrificial things, paper money, incense sticks and a pack of yellow paper, which should be food.

The cold wind blows here early in the morning, Yang Tianlin is cold and hungry, looking at the things in Huzi's hand, he swallows unconsciously.Realizing his actions, Yang Tianlin just glanced at other places and let it go, because no one else would make fun of him.

"Daddy said that he will be back today. I told Grandma when I came out, and Grandma also told me to take Daddy back. It's getting late now. Daddy should be back soon." He Huzi said It was an explanation and an explanation. After finishing speaking, the two of them said a few more words before Hu Zi left, while Yang Tianling waited for another half an hour before seeing his father's figure appearing not far from the village.

"Daddy, hehe." Daddy finally came back and could go home.

Yang Tong saw his son at the entrance of the village from a long distance away, and when he got closer, he saw his son's smiling face. Looking at his son's smiling face, he was in a daze for a while. How could this son be so similar to Yang Sheng? There is a saying in the village that it is called nephew Uncle Xiao, it's true that it's wrong to put it on this bastard of his family and that ungrateful Yang Sheng!

Thinking of Yang Sheng who had to listen to him in the past, and Yang Sheng who has become a big landlord now, Yang Tong's face darkened suddenly, his previous good mood was gone, and his good mood was gone when he saw his son. There is nothing he likes!As his son, but he looks so much like an outsider, he must be as ungrateful as Yang Sheng when he grows up!

The Yang Sheng in Yang Tong's mouth is his uncle's son, a younger brother who married Wanjiaba in the next village more than ten years ago in place of his older sister.Although Wanjiaba is also a village, but Wanjiaba is much richer than Yangjiacun, and it is the best village where ten miles and eight villages live. And that Yang Sheng married the big landlord of Wanjiaba, the son of the rich man. Son Wan Jiahe.

Yang Tianlin didn't know why Dad suddenly changed his face, thinking of Dad's inconsistency in the past, he didn't dare to say anything, but hurried forward to take the things from Dad and walked home.Yang Tong's complexion was not good, Yang Tianlin didn't dare to speak out, the father and son just went home in silence.

"Tong'er is back, hey, he's finally back, hurry up and see your wife, Yingzi's stomach has been pregnant for more than five months, and the sharp belly looks like a kid." Wang Guihua was a big boy I started busy with New Year's Eve stuff early on. Wang Ying refused to do anything after her stomach grew. Besides going to work in the field, Wang Guihua also took care of her family. But because she was looking forward to her grandson, Wang Guihua was exhausted. She is willing, but occasionally complains that her grandson can't help her much.

At first, Wang Guihua was only concerned about being happy, but she didn't pay much attention to her son's expression. Later, when she found out that her grandson's expression was not right, she realized that her son didn't seem to be talking to her just now. Could it be that her son was angry?

"Linzi, why did you offend your father? It's the New Year's Eve, can you save some time!" Wang Guihua didn't think about her grandson before, and she also thought that her daughter-in-law was deliberately targeting her grandson, but these few It was only when she went to work in the fields alone that he realized that what his wife said in the past was also true, this poor child can't do much work and eats a lot!

With disgust in his heart, he naturally disliked the other party no matter how he looked at him. Regarding the change of grandma's attitude towards him, Yang Tianlin was not stupid, he naturally knew that since grandpa's legs were disabled and he couldn't work, even grandma began to hate him. In the past, Grandpa helped him, but now Grandpa has to look at the faces of his family and how to help him.

Even though he knew he was right for not doing anything, Yang Tianlin still endured the grievance in his heart and smiled at his grandma, saying that he really did not offend his father. know why.

Yang Tong was not happy, he would not come out once he entered the house, and Wang Guihua did not dare to touch his son's bad luck.I had no choice but to take the things prepared in advance to my grandson and let him go to the grave by himself.

"Grandma, isn't dad going?" Dad and I used to go every year.

"What are you going to do? Your father has been working hard outside and finally came back. Let him rest at home and go alone!" Because only her grandson was going alone, Wang Guihua took out some of the wrapped things. .There are rules in the village when going to graves. You can’t bring home the things you bring to the mountain for sacrifice. The paper money and incense must be burned. , Now that the son is not going and only the grandson is alone, then it is better to prepare less.

"Oh." After answering Grandma, Yang Tianlin took out the things in Grandma's hand and went out.

It is already noon now, and most of the people have already come back. When Yang Tianlin went up the mountain, he met many people who came back. They were all from the same village and they were more or less relatives. say something.And most of these people are asking Yang Tianlin why he went up the mountain alone, where is his father?

"My father is busy at home." And Yang Tianlin's answer was only this one.Fortunately, the cemetery is not far away, and it will be there in a while.

After arriving at the cemetery, first put everything on the ground aside, Yang Tianlin first arranged the food in front of the grandfather's grave, lit incense wax, and then began to burn paper money.At first, Yang Tianlin knelt quietly to burn paper money, but for some reason, he suddenly raised his head and glanced at the grave next to his grandfather. When he used to visit the grave with his father, his father would not understand Give less paper money to the grave next door, and always spit two mouthfuls towards it.

"Could the people here belong to Uncle Yang Sheng's father and uncle?" Ever since Tang Grandma had told him many things about her uncle, Yang Tianlin felt guilty towards Uncle Yang Sheng in his heart. Although some don't believe that grandpa, grandma and grandpa are so bad, but don't believe grandma Tang will lie, especially after getting involved with grandpa, he really believes what grandma Tang said, grandma Daddy they are really... selfish.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I kowtow to you. Uncle Yang Sheng is doing well now, don't worry." Yang Tianlin thought about what Grandma Tang said, so he got up from his grandfather's grave and knelt in front of the grave next door. Next, he kowtowed several times in a decent manner.

"Child, who are you?" There is an unwritten rule in Yangjia Village. A married daughter or younger brother cannot go to the grave of her parents and ancestors in her natal family, because it will divide the protection of the ancestors and be disastrous to the descendants of her natal family. good.Yang Sheng used to offer sacrifices to his father at home every year, but this year he had discussed with his mother and family members in advance that he would go to his father's grave in person to visit his grave. He also chose a time when he came. Everyone who came up to the grave at Shichen should have gone home, but why is there a child kneeling in front of his father's grave?

This stranger who suddenly appeared was Yang Tianlin's uncle Yang Sheng.Yang Tianlin has never seen this stranger in front of him before, but he feels that he is inexplicably familiar and kind. Although the clothes on this person look good, he must be a rich man, but Yang Tianlin is not afraid, holding his little head , said to the person in front of him with a serious face: "This is my uncle's grave. My uncle got married and no one went to his uncle's grave. I kowtow to my uncle."

Uncle?Uncle got married?Based on these two points alone, Yang Sheng knew the identity of the child in front of him. This child should be Yang Tong's son, but Yang Tong's son is bigger than the steamed bun at home. Why does this child look so small? Not as big as a steamed bun.

Although Yang Sheng is still unwilling to deal with the members of the Yang family these years, he doesn't have much hatred for them anymore.Looking at the child kneeling in front of his father's grave, he felt a little softer in his heart, why does this child look so familiar.

"What's your name? I'm your uncle Yang Sheng. I'm here to visit my father's grave, but you can't tell your family about this, you know?" If something goes wrong, it will be a bad thing if he goes to Wanjia to make trouble again, and Jiahe will be very angry.
