Beloved

For the next three days, Sheng Jie did not go down the mountain again, and An An continued to heal his injuries on the mountain with peace of mind.

Early in the morning on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, after Lao Zhang prepared a set of things, he drove Fu Shanlong and Sheng Jie down the mountain to visit Grandpa Lin's grave.

The weather this day was not good, it was very cloudy, and there was a little snow in the early morning, which was cold and painful when it hit people.Fortunately, the snow didn't fall heavily, and it had stopped when we went down the mountain, but the road was a bit slippery.

When he arrived near the cemetery, Lao Zhang got out of the car first, went to meet a man who had been waiting here for a long time, and first moved the sacrifices he brought into the cemetery. This action alone attracted a lot of attention.

The residents of Old Street used to belong to a village. Although they are now urbanized, they still have their own ancestral cemetery according to the rural rules. Almost all the old people who died in this village were buried in one place. There were a lot of people going to the grave, and when Sheng Jie and Fu Shanlong appeared in this cemetery by the river, everyone recognized him in a short while.

Sheng Jie's reputation in the old street is not ordinary.But these people are not paying attention to him at the moment, but Fu Shanlong next to him.

If you say that Fu Shanlong's demeanor is an ordinary person, no one will believe it.Coupled with the fact that the life of the Lin family's grandma is very different from before, everyone secretly murmured that this relative of the Lin family is very rich.

This is an age that respects money.As long as you have money, you can make outsiders look up to you.This rich man even came to visit the graves of his elders in person, which is enough to show that he is still a kind person.

On weekdays, those neighbors couldn't find the right time to talk to Fu Shanlong, and now it happened to be a good opportunity.

Seeing several families approaching with smiles, wanting to chat with them, Sheng Jie pulled Fu Shanlong around a corner from a distance, avoiding those people.

He doesn't have much affection for these people, saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but these neighbors used to live in the same village as his grandparents, and if such a big incident happened to the Lin family, it's fine if they don't count on their help. , These people really do a lot of things like spreading rumors.

In Sheng Jie's heart, these people are not as affectionate as Aunt Xiao who came from other places.He didn't want to talk to these people.

The people who went to the grave saw that they were actively avoiding themselves, so it was fine if they were embarrassed, and some felt uncomfortable, and began to whisper bad things about Sheng Jie to their family members.

In fact, what they were talking about was still talking about Sheng Jie's fucking things.They didn't pay any attention to Sheng Jie's character and temperament, as if his mother represented him, which was a completely irresponsible way of speaking.

Grandpa Lin's grave was at the corner of a vegetable field, and it had been leveled over the years. Because there was no tombstone to mark it, it took Sheng Jie a bit of effort to find the approximate location and put the things he brought in the on the ground.

Fu Shanlong has never seen this kind of rural cemetery, and he is still looking for tombstones everywhere, "Why is there no monument?"

"My grandma is still here, so no monument is erected. Our rules here." Sheng Jie replied.

"Then... who do we worship?" Fu Shanlong found it difficult to understand.

"Probably this is the land, and the tree next to it is a sign." Sheng Jie patted the thick poplar tree standing next to him, sprinkled a circle of soil under the tree, squatted down and began to worship.

Fu Shanlong squatted down together, he wanted to help Sheng Jie, but he didn't know what to do.The sacrificial methods and utensils here are completely different from those in their family, and are much simplified.

"Come and make a fire." Sheng Jie handed him the yellow paper in his hand, and asked him to build a fire in the soil circle.

When the fire was lit, Sheng Jie stuffed some paper into it to make the flame bigger, and then pulled Fu Shanlong to kneel down in front of the fire.

Mr. Fu knelt down without any hesitation, imitating Sheng Jie and kowtowed. Sheng Jie gave him the coins he bought, "Give my grandpa some more money so that he can spend it down here."

Fu Shanlong seriously burned the coins in his hand.Sheng Jie opened the cigarette case neatly at this time, with one in his mouth, he skillfully lit it with a lighter, took a puff, inserted it in front of the mound, and lit another one for himself and Fu Shanlong , "Here, smoke a cigarette with my grandpa."

With his cigarette butt between his hands, Mr. Fu glanced at Sheng Jie uncontrollably.Only then did he realize that his child's smoking action looked very handsome. Although he was still young, he already exuded a masculine smell.

Sheng Jie smoked out the cigarette in a few puffs, flicked the cigarette butt and crushed the sparks with the soles of his shoes, brought a bottle of good liquor, unscrewed the cap, first poured it three times along the soil circle on the ground, and drank it by himself After taking a sip, he handed it to Fu Shanlong next to him.

Mr. Fu naturally took a big gulp, and when Sheng Jie wanted to drink more, he stopped him, "I'll drink it!"

Sheng Jie smiled, "It's okay, I've been doing this for several years, I won't get drunk after a few sips."

"That won't work, you are still recuperating." Fu Shanlong couldn't help but drink half of Sheng Jie's drink.

At this time, Sheng Jie talked to Grandpa Lin in his heart, "Grandpa, this is my boyfriend. You should have known it a long time ago! Don't be angry, we are both serious now, and we want to date with the mentality of living life Yes. If you are free, please bless us and let us be free from illness and disaster. If you are not free, forget it, and live a better life below. The money is for you. You can spend it, and it will be returned to you in Qingming Burn. Grandma is getting old, you must miss her too, but I don't want her to leave me to accompany you, so...you use the money to clear up the relationship below and let her live a few more years."

"Grandpa, come and get the money! Take it to make more connections, and bless us!" He repeated on his lips.

Only now did Fu Shanlong understand why this kid bought ghost coins that were several times more than others. It turned out to be for this reason.

However, his heart was already full of respect for gods and ghosts, so he burned those ghost coins with extra effort, and at the same time he whispered, "Grandpa Lin, don't worry. If you really exist, you should also know my origin , I have tasted the taste of regret and experienced the pain of loss, so don't worry, I will never bully Xiaojie. I will regard him more than my life. You...you should try to bless and bless us, From now on, every year and holidays, I will burn money for you, houses, cars, cruise ships, beauties... everything."

Sheng Jie was quite touched at first when he heard his words, but then he simply pinched him, "Beauty?! You want my grandpa to lose his virginity?"

"Slip of the tongue!" Fu Shanlong smiled and begged for mercy.

Sheng Jie withdrew his hand, took out a few thick stacks from the pile of paper money that hadn't had time to burn, and handed it to Fu Shanlong, "Find a place on your left, right, back, and back, and burn these."

"What's the point?" Fu Shanlong asked.

"Stupid! Thanks to you, you are still in business. This is called management, understand? It's almost Chinese New Year, and there are many lonely ghosts who have no one to burn money. Let's help burn some, and they will also help my grandfather down here."

When Sheng Jie said this, his expression was serious and serious, as if it would really happen as he said.

Fu Shanlong obediently took the stacks of paper money and went to take care of the 'kids'.

Sheng Jie's fire was burning so hot that it made people's eyes hot.Then a lot of ghost coins also need money to buy, and usually those who come to worship are almost burned, who is as honest as this kid, wishing he could get a "Mountain of Money" and burn it to his grandfather.

There are always people in this world who like to meddle in their own business.

27 This day is the day with the largest number of grave visitors.In this rural cemetery, many living people broke in. Among them, there was also a family surnamed Sheng who came to visit their ancestors' graves during the past year.

The family surnamed Sheng also lived in the old street in the early years. Later, a capable college student came out of the family and married a daughter of a rich family. The whole family moved out of the old street and moved to a spacious and comfortable Live in a high-rise community.I seldom go back to the old street, and I seldom contact my former neighbors. The only time when I have a chance to say a few words is when I worship my ancestors.

Neighbors with good deeds saw that the family surnamed Sheng also came to visit the grave, and hurried over to report the news.

The group of people surnamed Sheng who came was Sheng Jiang's family, Sheng Jie's grandma, grandpa and uncle's family.This family has always lived their lives behind closed doors, they don't care whether the storm outside or the warm spring breeze.Therefore, they only heard from Sheng Jiang that Sheng Jie left the Li family, took away his household registration, and defected to his grandmother, and they didn't know the other details.

It would be even more impossible to know if I hadn't met him by chance when I went to the grave today.

A few years ago, they also came to visit the grave at this time, because they didn't want to see each other. Even though they knew that their grandson was not far away, the family never went to say hello or take a look.

But today the situation is very different.

Sheng Jie made the scene too big. He burned a mountain of money to Grandpa Lin, which seriously stimulated the nerves of the people around him.

Someone praised Shengjie: "This child is affectionate and righteous. Look! How filial he is to his grandfather!"

Maybe it's the word 'filial piety' that arouses some people's sensitivity.Perhaps the object of 'filial piety' is grandpa, which makes some people feel unbalanced.For the first time, the grandpa and grandma of the Sheng family, who had ignored Sheng Jie for ten years, had some movement.

The old man of the Sheng family came to the side of Grandpa Lin's cemetery on the bumpy field road, stopped beside Sheng Jie, and coughed heavily.

Sheng Jie raised his eyelids and glanced at him, ignoring him.

He recognized who old master Sheng was at a glance.I think that when he was young, he would be sent back to the old man and grandmother during the winter and summer vacations, and be taken care of by them for a while.

Usually that time is when Li Qin and his father take Sheng Lingling to travel together and enjoy the happy time of the family.At that time, the existence of his stepson was very embarrassing.

Later, when he grew up, he had an idea and never went to Sheng's house again.Because those people are more vicious than Li Qin, in order to please Li Qin, he is the target of those people who make things difficult and trample on him.It seems that as long as he treats him like this, he can get what Li Qingao looks like.

Later, after he recognized Grandma Lin, he went to Sheng's house again during the Chinese New Year, but he couldn't even get a red envelope.

He remembered very clearly that his grandma pointed at the tip of his nose and said domineeringly: "Didn't you recognize your mother's old lady? You go to their house to pay New Year's greetings, go get their red envelopes! Our Sheng family doesn't Give the money to a bastard who eats inside and outside."

After that, he never went to Sheng's house to pay New Year's greetings.In a flash, several years have passed.Sheng Jie never thought that one day he would see those faces again...
