A pair of strong arms dragged her body out from the crowd and put it on her shoulders.

At this moment, the crowd and smoke around her seemed to have dispersed, and she came to life again.

"father."

Lu Sheige lowered his head and looked at the man sitting with her on his shoulders.

Lu Quan raised his head and smiled and looked at Lu Sheige who was sitting on his left shoulder: "Sit tight, Xiaosi. Dad will take you out for dinner. We will go home after dinner."

In the square of the Lu family ancestral hall, there were a large number of fathers and sons, grandfathers and grandchildren, kneeling and standing up. The only child who could sit on his own father's shoulders was Lu Sheige.

Lu Xiangge raised his head, the sun shining on his face from above his head was warm and dazzling.

It was as if a certain scene flashed before my eyes.

On the outing day, five-year-old Lu Shege sat on Lu Yuanshan's shoulder and went to the mountain to visit the graves of his grandfather and great-grandfathers.

Behind him is the eldest brother Lu Hongnan, who is carrying a basket filled with paper money and ingots. There is also the second brother Lu Hebei who is jumping up and down, holding a few wicker sticks dangling in his hands.

This was the only time Lu Xiangge followed his father and brother to visit the tombs of his ancestors.

At that time, the spring wind was as strong as today's wind.

It's just that you don't feel cold when you scrape it on your body. Instead, it feels warm and comfortable.

She cried a lot because she was making a fuss about going to the grave with her father and brothers. The tears on her face were still there, and the wind made her feel itchy.

Girls don't have to burn paper at their ancestors' graves. Lu Xiangge wanted to go, but Lu Yuanshan couldn't bear to see her cry, so he carried his daughter on his shoulders and carried her up the mountain.

Dad used a shovel to dig two semicircular grave tops and replaced the grave heads on the graves.

The eldest brother burned paper, and the second brother planted willows. She didn't understand anything. She only knew that in spring, the grass on the mountain was green and the flowers were bright, and the bees and butterflies flying everywhere were also very cute.

What did her father say to her that day?

Dad said, Xi Ge, have you seen this mountain? In this mountain...

"Xiaosi, Xiaosi?"

Lu Quan's call dragged Lu Shege back from the illusion, as if everything just now was a dream.

She gasped for breath, feeling dizzy under the sun's rays. She didn't even know where she was for a moment.

"Dad, shall we go home?"

Lu Xiangge felt itchy at the corners of his eyes. He raised his hand and rubbed it, leaving wet marks on the back of his hand.

Lu Quan saw tears forming in the corners of Xiaosi's eyes and thought that the child must be missing her parents. He couldn't bear it in his heart and said softly: "Xiaosi, let's go sit down to eat and then go back after eating."

"father."

Lu Xiangge raised his head, glanced in the direction of the Lu family's ancestral grave, and then gave Lu Quan a hand. Lu Quan lowered his body, put it in his ear and whispered, "Dad, let's buy a piece of land here to build a yard."

OK?"

OK?

The child wanted to buy a piece of land at his former home, how could Lu Quan say no?

He didn't care whether this idea was right or not, he just nodded in panic: "Then buy a piece of land."

Seeing Lu Quan's agreement, Lu Shege also calmed down and pulled Lu Quan's sleeve: "Dad, let's go have a feast."

The banquet started at noon, and everyone flocked to the square in front of the ancestral hall and started looking for a place to sit.

Lu Quan pulled Lu Xiaosi to the table, and Lu Sheige hurriedly hid behind him: "Dad, I can just stand at the corner of the table."

There were hundreds of tables, but no one even half-grown could sit at one of them, and she was no exception.

"If dad tells you to sit down, just sit down." Lu Quan couldn't help but pull Lu Xiangge to sit down on the bench, "Listen to dad, it will be warm on the way home after you have eaten."

One bench was occupied by Lu Quan and his son, and the other three benches were occupied by strangers.

Everyone called friends lively and sat down together.

Most of the people at this table were people from nearby, but Lu Quan and Lu Sheige didn't know anyone.

The father and son just sat quietly, waiting for the food to be served.

"Is this your boy?"

Lu Quan nodded: "Yes, the eldest son of mine."

A middle-aged man sitting opposite Lu Quan and his son saw Lu Quan nodding but hesitated to speak. He endured it for a long time before he stopped criticizing, "He looks strangely handsome, but he's a bit darker."

Lu Quan looked honest: "It's okay to be black, as long as your body and bones are strong."

Speaking of Lu Xiaosi, Lu Quan had a lot to say: "This child of mine has been weak in body and bones since he was a child. He was raised in his uncle's house for several years. His uncle is a bodyguard, and he has become strong and strong..."

In his nagging words, you can hear his love for his child.

The middle-aged man could only smile helplessly: "This child is indeed well-raised. Don't look at him, he looks very smart."

Everyone knew that Lu Quan was a spoiled child, and no one said much to remind a child as young as Lu Xiangge to sit down.

An old man sitting at the table couldn't stand it anymore: "Children don't want to sit at the table. For such a big child, just let him stand aside."

Lu Quan raised his hand and patted Lu Sheige's head lovingly: "The eldest child in my family is smart and wants to go to school. This time I specially brought my child to worship our ancestors, so that she can also be honored by our ancestors, so that she can shine brightly on our ancestors in the future.

.”

Hearing this, the old man frowned more and more: "Even children who are studying should know Xiaolian better. How can he sit at the table as a child? You'd better let the child stand at the corner of the table, find him a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, and then pick up two

Just give him chopsticks, vegetables and rice to eat. If you are not so spoiled, you can still sit at the table."

Her words were full of disdain, and she glared at Lu Xiangge with some displeasure, as if it was wrong for her to sit here and she should consciously stand aside.

Lu Sheige tilted her head and glanced at the old man who had not moved. Lu Quan's big palm on her back was firmly supporting her back.

"Isn't it said that one person can have a banquet with one hundred renmin for each person?" Lu Quan still looked honest and honest, looking at the cold-faced old man, "We don't eat this banquet for nothing. We will wait for the person who serves the dishes to come.

My boy also has to pay money."

He said that Lu Quan patted his bag and made a jingling sound: "I have prepared two hundred copper coins. Today is for the youngest of my family to enjoy the blessings of our ancestors. How can we not eat?"

Hearing that Lu Quan also wanted to pay one hundred copper coins to his child, the people at the table couldn't help but look surprised.

Looking at the two father and son, the clothes are not bad, but not very good. The jacket the son is wearing is still new, and it looks like it is still stuffed with cotton. Only Lu Quan's face is covered with weathered calluses, and his hands are covered with calluses.

A real farmer.

Such a family was actually willing to spend a hundred copper coins to let him sit at the table. This family either doted on their children very much, or their family background was indeed better than what they saw.

"Nonsense."

After hearing what Lu Quan said, the old man's face turned from red to black. He slammed the table angrily and turned around to find another seat.

There were nearly a hundred people from about ten households with the surname Lu in their village, and originally not one of them planned to come to the banquet.

But everyone was afraid that they would not come and would be looked down upon by the clan.

They simply collected some copper coins and let him be the representative. After the ancestor worship, he would sit down at the table and express his feelings.

The reason why he can come to sit at the table is because he is the oldest among the ten or so families and has the longest seniority.

Unexpectedly, he had to rely on more than a dozen families to collect copper coins for a meal. The father and his son did not know what was said and brought a half-year-old child to spend copper coins to sit on the table. Isn't this a slap in his face?

As soon as the old man left, the person looking for a seat next to him immediately sat down.

The person who originally spoke to Lu Quan was also a little embarrassed, so he could only cough to cover up his embarrassment.

It doesn't matter how old a child is when someone spends money to have a meal, as long as they don't eat for free, it's fine.
