Chapter 59
The village chief was more enthusiastic and attentive to the reception of Hua Banzhi and Zhou Guangming.
The village chief not only cooked the kang hot, but also prepared the meals very richly. In addition to the rabbit she brought, the village chief's family braised it.
The best meat segment of the rabbit was given to Hua Banzhi and Zhou Guangming.
I even cut a plate of bacon and steamed it and brought it to me.
"Mom, let's move my mother's grave tomorrow, let's eat rabbits." Zhou Guangming looked at the braised rabbit meat with bright eyes and swallowed, "Shouldn't you be vegetarian?"
"Uh..." I felt that the rabbit meat picked up on Hua Banzhi chopsticks could not be eaten, so I put the fragrant rabbit meat back, "Then let's not eat it." Although it was a pity that I could eat it once, Guangming was right. My sister should be relieved of this kid's filial heart.
"I won't eat it!" Zhou Guangming looked at the seductive braised pork with his eyes, swallowing his saliva constantly, so reluctant to let it go!
"mother!"
"Guangming wants to eat." Hua Banzhi looked at his confused look with a smile and said with a smile, "Then do you think of a way yourself?"
Zhou Guangming tilted his head and blinked his eyes and said, "If my mother loves me, it shouldn't matter if I eat rabbits!"
"Little clever guy." Hua Banzhi stretched out her hand to rub his head and said docilely, "I will forgive you." She looked at him with a sad look and said, "We can be vegetarian when we go back."
"Yes!" Zhou Guangming's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then let's eat it today and start eating vegetarian food for his mother tomorrow."
It’s not okay to not eat vegetarian food! Where can I eat meat when I go back?
Hua Banzhi and Zhou Guangming ate this meal, both of them were experiencing oil.
After the turn of the sky, we got up at about three in the morning, and it was not yet dawn, so we all took the horse lanterns to move.
When relocating graves, you cannot move during the day. It should be in the early morning or before the sun rises, before the sky is shining.
If you have to move the grave during the day, you will not be able to see the light on your head! You must use a mat or something to build a shed on the top of your head! And the time cannot pass 14:00 pm.
As for wearing a mourning clothes, there was no such condition, so Hua Banzhi and Zhou Guangming tied hemp ropes and white coarse cloth belts.
Rural women knitted more white coarse cloths themselves, just cut the strips of cloth that are wide for the palm.
The village chief took his three sons with shovels and hoes, and asked the villagers to carry the coffin to the destination.
No one spoke during the whole process, only Zhou Guangming's crying was heard, accompanied by the bleak cold wind.
When she was re-burned, Hua Banzhi went down in person, poured the white wine on her hands, wrapped it with a strip of white cloth, moved her sister's bones one by one from her head, and put them into the coffin with a layer of mattress in order.
The mourning coat was covered with the bones, and then nailed the coffin to death and carried it to the place designated by Hua Banzhi. She chose an excellent place to protect Zhou Guangming.
The four directions in Feng Shui are said to be "the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right, and the vermilion bird on the front and the black trunk behind". This is the position of the four symbols. Within these four symbols, different directions are different. Generally, there are things on both sides of the left and right, such as a mountain, with water in front and mountain behind, so that a good Feng Shui pattern can be formed.
There are many people and great power. After doing everything, Hua Banzhi and Zhou Guangming set off firecrackers.
"Guangming, kneel down and kowtow to your mother." Hua Banzhi said, rubbing the top of his head.
"Oh!" Zhou Guangming knelt down and kowtowed.
"Talk to your mother." Hua Banzhi lowered her eyes and said gently as she looked at him.
Zhou Guangming raised his little face, looked at Hua Banzhi with wet eyes and said, "Mom, what am I going to say?"
"Tell your mother what you have done these days?" Hua Banzhi said with a strong nose looking at him.
"Oh!" Zhou Guangming turned around, straightened his back, looked at Xiao Tubao and said, "Mom, I found my father. Dad is so amazing, he is..."
"Cough cough..." Hua Banzhi clenched her fist and coughed lightly, interrupting Zhou Guangming's words. These things are not said in front of outsiders.
Hua Banzhi squatted down, looked at him gently and said, "Tell me what we Guangming did?"
"Oh!" Zhou Guangming nodded and looked at the tombstone made of bluestone. "Mom, I recognize words now, I will write your name. Oh! I will count too." Turning his head to look at Hua Banzhi and said, "Mom, what else do you want to say?"
"Tell me, what do you want to do when you grow up?" Hua Banzhi looked at him with encouragement.
"I have to fly a plane when I grow up." Zhou Guangming announced loudly, thinking about it and then saying, "I will study hard and get into college."
"We Guangming said it very well." A hint of surprise flashed in Hua Banzhi's eyes, then she smiled and looked at him gently.
As he said that, he pulled Zhou Guangming up, scattered the remaining white wine on the grave, and pressed the underworld coins on the earth buns with soil.
"Comrade, Comrade!" The village chief quickly spoke when he saw this.
"What's wrong?" Hua Banzhi looked back at him and asked.
"This paper must be burned, otherwise she would not be able to get it." The village chief said in a low voice.
"There are overgrown here and it's dry in winter! The wind is strong, and it won't be beautiful if the fire causes a fire to burn the village." Hua Banzhi looked at him and explained.
"This is still the thoughtful comrade, you are still thinking about it." The village chief felt the downward trend, and his family was really in the downward trend.
Hua Banzhi turned around and looked at him and said solemnly, "This is all you need when you worship in Qingming Festival in the future."
When the village chief heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "Okay!" This is too simple. Anyway, my family also has to visit the graves by the way.
After moving the grave, it was just dawn. Hua Banzhi pulled Zhou Guangming away before saying goodbye to the village chief's family and rushed to the train station without stopping.
When getting off the train, it was like the conductor asking about the train time, and rushed slowly. Finally, he ran with Zhou Guangming on his back. At the moment of driving, he finally caught up.
Hua Banzhi and Zhou Guangming got on the train and leaned against the door. She gasped heavily and had to exercise when she went back. But this amount of exercise would cost her life.
This damn train is not late today, and it is common to be late.
"Mom, are you okay?" Zhou Guangming said worriedly at her sweating profusely.
"It's okay, help me into the car." Hua Banzhi put his hand on his shoulder, forced himself to drag his body into the car, and sat on the wooden hard seat.
Fortunately, I was wearing a cotton coat and it was not left to rest.
Hua Banzhi leaned on the back of the chair and said to Nunu's mouth to her bag, "There are pancakes inside and they will eat them yourself." This is the village chief's wife who spread four pancakes for her in the morning and took them to eat them on the way.
