[Red Mansion] Father and Son Crossover

Feeling stable, Jiao Yufeng felt that he could at least enjoy a peaceful life for a month or two, but he didn't want to go back here to take advantage of Muxiu to be intimate with his wife and son, and his uncle started to toss about it again. , and it was a big deal that he couldn't refuse anyway.

"When I came from my hometown, I settled in this village. During the years when I went to war, your father and the others also lived here. Now... Although it is said that there is a house in the capital, it is still very decent, but it is true. Come on, apart from my hometown, this is half of my ancestral land. Now that your third uncle is here, we have to take care of some things, at least we can’t leave our ancestors without a place to stay .”

The door of the Jiao family's house where the master was not at home all the year round was opened, and all the men of the Jiao family were sitting in the main room, listening quietly to what Jiao Da said, and no one made a sound.Of course, it’s not suitable to make a sound. No matter how dilapidated the house is or how worthless it is, some fundamental things and rules will never change. Jiao Da, he used to be the eldest son and grandson of Jiao’s parents, and he is also very good Having assumed this responsibility, he supported the family and supported it. Now that he has become the elder of the long house, he naturally speaks with more prestige.He wanted to find a place for his ancestors here, so what qualifications did others have to say no?

"Brother, you can do whatever you say about this matter, and I will listen to you."

Jiao San was the first to agree. Since he moved here, although he has not said anything on weekdays, it is not that he does not forget the ancestral grave of his hometown.It is said that the land without relatives has no roots. This may not be true here. There are roots here, and his brothers are buried here, but there are no elders in this root system. This makes him feel a little uneasy in his heart. Some feel sorry for their ancestors. Every time it is the day of sacrifice, they can only burn paper at the intersection while watching other people go to the grave. This feeling is really, very uncomfortable.

"In this case, come to me... That's what I thought, this house... Although I don't live here much, but this place is not small, it's a waste to leave it empty, so I thought about staying here , the position facing east, I pushed some out, and built a big house in front of it, just like the main courtyard, so as to make an ancestral hall and enshrine the ancestral tablets. In the future, we will also have a place to settle down. Let’s talk about it later, if the children are promising in the future, they need to buy a room for placing plaques or something, and there is room for expansion. At the back of the house, a row of shelters will be built to house other things, such as offerings, so roughly It's pretty neat."

Speaking of this, Mr. Jiao occupied himself, and walked out together with others, surrounded his own yard, pointing and talking, and the people around him naturally nodded when they heard it. For the children, it is a big matter, and there is no room for indifference.

But this extension. . .It is not appropriate for Jiao Da to pay the money alone.So Jiao Yufeng hurriedly said:

"Uncle, I will pay 50 taels of money for building the house, you will pay for the land, and the rest of the third uncle will pay for the food during the construction of the house. What do you think?"

How about it?This is giving away the big head, the elder's is still there, can you use a child like you to come out?Jiao Da was about to refute, Jiao San was frowning and wanted to speak, Jiao Yufeng saw the situation, and hurriedly added:

"I'm the second room after all, so I should give a share. Besides, you know that my uncle who is now on an errand, I'm afraid it's rare for me to come over when I'm busy, so when the time comes, I'll look at the place and take care of it." For the troublesome things, I am afraid that the third uncle will come, that is, the uncle, the foundation and so on, I also need you to sign the deed, let you two elders run errands, if you don’t let me pay more money, How can I explain this to my father in the future."

This is also very true. Although Jiao Yufeng is a junior, but this is another house, and he is also the owner of the house. It is inappropriate to treat them differently.Plus. . .Jiao Da glanced at his third brother, sighed slightly in his heart, and knew what Jiao Yufeng was thinking. He didn't want the third brother to pay more money.That's right, even if he was given a good errand, Saburo still has a strong sense of duty, will make money, and life looks good.But after all, my background is a bit weak, and I just had a child, I'm afraid I won't be able to spend much for a while, and I don't have to embarrass the third child, so it's more decent to compromise from myself first

some.

Thinking of this, Jiao Da also nodded, and pointed Jiao Yufeng meaningfully, saying:

"Forget it, let me let you be lazy. Speaking of which, I have also thought about it. Although it is convenient to live in this city now, it is a bit cumbersome. Waiting for the future... the pension will always come back. The house can also be regarded as the ancestral house of our Jiao family. I guard it here so that the descendants of the Jiao family can have a place to remember. Now if this ancestral hall is built, it will be even better. Look after the ancestral hall, clean up the sacrifices daily, and have an explanation to the ancestors. After leaving the country and throwing away the ancestral graves, after all, I feel sorry for the ancestors. I still want you to play the big role, otherwise wouldn't all this work be our old man's?"

Talk about money, just talk about money, you are a feudal superstition, if you keep talking like this, how can Jiao Yufeng and the others sleep if you say this?The co-author has never built an ancestral hall, the ancestors have to come to find it in a dream, isn't it, can't it be done?

An embarrassing stroke in Jiao Yufeng's heart, Jiao Shibo lowered his head, pretending that he didn't understand, but he thought more directly and sharply in his heart.While braving black lines on the topic of these gods and ghosts, he secretly complained: They came here so quickly, didn’t they see their ancestors looking for people, this is even a change of soul, if it is true that the ancestors have spirits , then it's time to jump at this moment, it can be seen that these people are really fooling themselves.

On the contrary, Sanlang, hearing what Jiao Da said, couldn't help turning his eyes red with emotion, turned around secretly, wiped his own eyes, and said:

"Father, if this... if it is built, then our ancestral tomb... will be regarded as a sacrifice if we don't move the tomb. Just repair and repair the tomb."

Jiao Sanlang doesn't talk much on a daily basis, but the so-called knowing a son is like a father, but the one who knows his father is naturally a son. He knows exactly what his father is struggling with after his family migrated here.On the one hand, the brothers are reunited and life goes smoothly, on the other hand, the ancestral graves are left unattended, making sacrifices difficult.Now that's the best of both worlds.

But after all, he had less knowledge, he only heard about the building of the ancestral hall, but he didn't understand the meaning behind what Jiao Da and Jiao Yufeng said.Although I sigh in my heart that I have a disability and my family business is not prosperous, and I can't devote myself to such things, but at the same time, I am moved by the thoughtfulness of my elder brother and nephew.

When he was young, if he said that he was competitive and couldn't let go of his face, but now, he has gone through life and death without knowing how much, and he has long since lost such spirit.He simply pretended to be confused and covered up the big face, thinking in his heart: since they are all concerned about their own face, then they have to reveal it ignorantly. My own family is better, if I insist on being so strong, I won't get any points.

So after listening to his son's words, he just patted the hand that was supporting him comfortingly, then nodded and said:

"You all want to be officials now. You should take care of the public affairs first. Leave these trivial matters to me. Qiu Daquan is originally a mason. Let him be a foreman. I will take care of the food and drink. In addition ...Well, you let Dazhu come and do some trivial things with Sanlang, you don't need to worry about this matter, I can take care of it myself. But this tablet...Brother, I still need you to get this."

"It's natural. It's not just a memorial tablet. I've been thinking about whether to reorganize the family tree. Speaking of which, we also had such a booklet in our hometown in the early years. Although it was just to record life and death. Son, it’s very convenient for sacrifices, and it can’t be regarded as a family tree, but it’s better than no family. It’s just this thing... Those who fought in the war lost all of them, and they may not be able to remember them all now. When you were in your hometown, you can Have you looked for it?"

Speaking of this, Jiao Da and Jiao San immediately forgot about the big and small people here, and the two old men got together and talked quite lively.A break can directly lead to three or five generations, which makes Jiao Yufeng and others don't know what to do for a while.Listening and not understanding, and not being able to connect, really. . .I've never seen anything like this before, this person doesn't even enter the house, just squatting at the door and talking, who is he waiting for?

Jiao Yufeng had a helpless expression on his face, Jiao Shibo curled his lips, look, this critical moment actually depends on him.

"Grandpa, this can be discussed later, but here, if you want to build a house, is it important to get the land deed as soon as possible? Also, seeing that the weather is getting cold, if you want to build it, do you need to quickly order some bricks?" Tiles and the like? When you discuss the house, don’t you mean to let Grandpa Qiu be the leader, so should you call someone?"

This stack of questions was thrown out, and sure enough, the two old men were immediately stopped. It doesn't matter what the booklet is, this can be done later, and the most important thing is to build the ancestral hall.

"That's right, that's right, with my brain, how can I talk about this at the door? In this way, third child, you can go and talk to Qiu Daquan, I'll let someone get the foundation out first..."

Looks like some are busy.Jiao Shibo squinted at his father, his little expression of asking for praise was quite obvious, but it was a pity that the occasion was wrong, so he only slapped his father instead.What a loss.

Jiao Daquan didn't pay attention to the petty actions of the father and son. At this moment, what he was thinking about was not only the ancestral hall, but also the ancestral hall. Even the eyes that looked at the land were soft and expectant, very penetrating.He sighed with emotion and said:

"Now my family has two children, your family...although there is only one, but it is also a smart one, and there may not be a second one in the future, and there will be one in Sanlang's family...there will be more and more children in the future, The Jiao family is getting more and more prosperous, this ancestral hall...we have to plant roots for the children, so that the children's hearts can be stable."

Others don't know whether they are safe or not, but as far as Jiao Shibo is concerned, if this ancestor is really alive, hehe, he must not sleep well, and he has to worry about his ancestor venting his anger on his descendants and asking for his life in his dreams!That's true. . .Are you looking for something for yourself?

Well, they have memories, maybe it's a fusion, if that's the case, it should be fine.But then again, just looking at Jiao San's attitude towards this, we can see how important an ancestral hall is to people's hearts in this era.The so-called family cohesion is reflected here.
