Chapter 442: Up the Mountain

 Before the Spring Equinox, the construction of the corridor bridge and pavilion on the Datang Water Plank Road in Shuangtang Village began. Within two days, Engineer Xiao also took time off from the company to return to Shuangtang Village to preside over the planting and renovation of the old well site greenhouse.

Work.

Su Qinghe's previous request to Su Zhiliang to collect opinions also came to fruition. After learning that Su Qinghe had taken the lead in rectifying the living environment in Shuangtang Village, most people not only had no objections, but were also eager to help and campaigned to persuade others.

Ideological work.

In order to improve the village, some people with sufficient financial resources also donated a lot of money. There were even a few elderly people who moved to the city and asked their children to return to the village. They wanted to see Shuangtang Village with their own eyes.

The process of rectification.

Su Qinghe handed over all the public projects in Shuangtang Village to the Municipal Design Institute. He had only one request: to build Shuangtang Village into a park-like living environment according to local conditions, and the relevant supporting facilities should be well built.

Beautiful.

The town is happy to facilitate this matter, and the relevant procedures have been given the green light. In one sentence, Shuangtang Village is your boss Su’s territory. As long as the villagers have no objections, you can do whatever you want.

People from several nearby villages saw how lively Shuangtang Village was, and their eyes turned red with envy, but they had nothing to say. Who could let Shuangtang Village have a big boss and be willing to throw money into the village? In their opinion

With the help of this, Shuangtang Village once again became famous in the town, and Su Qinghe became a figure in the limelight again.

Su Xiaoting was very happy. There were so many workers in the village all of a sudden. When she came back from get out of class every day to pick up the bottles, she couldn't help but pick up the bottles. She was also very happy. She drove the excavator all day long and went out early and came back late. She dug here and there and dug there. They are all tanned. Everyone knows that this is the apple of the eye of the boss of Party A. Not only does he let her play with her, but he also gives her some guidance from time to time in his spare time.

Against this background, the vernal equinox arrived quietly.

The Spring Equinox is a solar term that is relatively valued in Nanling Town. In addition to the increase in rain after the Spring Equinox, it is also because the period from the Spring Equinox to the Qingming Festival is the peak period for tomb sweeping.

Earlier, they saw that the Spring Equinox this year happened to be on a Sunday. Su Qinghe and Su Zhiliang decided to go up the mountain to sweep the tombs on the Spring Equinox. After all, it rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and it will be troublesome if it rains then.

After breakfast, Bai Zhi helped Guaguai put on sun protection clothes and a sun hat, and wrapped the little one tightly. Because of the rain last year during the Qingming Festival, he didn't take Guaguai to visit the grave. This year, it was brought forward to the Spring Equinox.

When she grew older, Su Qinghe wanted to take her with him.

"Guaiguai is still so young, why should I take her there? Can't we just take her there when we come back to burn paper in the ancestral hall?" The old lady was nagging, dissatisfied that Su Qinghe wanted to take Guaiguai up the mountain to visit the grave.

Before Su Qinghe could say anything, he shouted first: "Go~~"

She has been at home for so long and has not been to the mountains a few times. She pestered Su Qinghe for several days before Su Qinghe agreed to take her there. How could she let the old lady dissuade her?

Su Qinghe smiled and said: "Mom, you heard it, the little one insisted on going by herself, I didn't force her to go."

The old lady turned her back and said nothing.

Su Qinghe smiled, carried the hoe and hugged Guaiguai, and went to meet Su Zhiliang's family.

In previous years, Su Zhiliang would go up the mountain to clean the weeds growing on the tomb during the Qingming Festival in previous years. When the Qingming Festival arrived, everyone would go to work lightly. But this year, the tomb sweeping was moved to the vernal equinox, so the workload was naturally heavy. All three members of Su Zhiliang's family went out together.

.

I didn’t bring any sacrifices. I used to carry three animals and vegetables up the mountain on a load. Later, there were few people in my family and I found it too troublesome, so I stopped carrying the load. I just brought incense, candles, paper money, firecrackers, a bag of bread, a bag of candies and biscuits, and a bottle of Coke.

Use it as tea, a bottle of Sprite as soju, and when you go back to burn paper in the ancestral hall, just bring the three vegetarian dishes.

A group of people carried hoes and large and small bags and went up the mountain from the old well shed. Since some people only went up the mountain to take care of the lychee trees some time ago, the weeds on the mountain road have been cleared, so the mountain road is not difficult to walk.<

/p>

Obediently being held by Su Qinghe, he didn't dare to let her walk on the mountain road by herself. If she didn't pay attention to her footing, she could roll down the mountain. She could also help. She held a bag containing incense candles and paper money on her wrist and looked around along the way.

[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It allows me to switch between sources and enjoy many reading sounds, huanyuanapp. Both Android and Apple are available.]

Su Qinghe took her up the mountain to pick lychees and mangoes last year, but Guaiguai was still young at that time, and she had forgotten it after so long, so this time she went up the mountain, and everything seemed novel to her.

"Dad~What is this~"

"This is the lychee tree. Do you remember lychee?"

She blinked obediently and felt very familiar. She frowned and tried to remember, and finally remembered, "Zhi Zhi~Dad~I have eaten Zhi Zhi~~"

As she spoke, her saliva flowed out from the corner of her mouth, then she sucked it back and laughed a few times.

"Dad, when can I eat Zhizhi~"

"It's coming soon. In a few months, you can eat it on Guaiguai's birthday!" After saying that, Su Qinghe sighed. When the lychees mature, Guaiguai will be two years old.

"Birthday~" Guaiguai was suddenly surprised, "Eat cake for my birthday~"

"Yes, you can have cake on your birthday!"

"Dad~What is this~"

Of course, not all the mountains are covered with lychee trees. There are several ridges planted with Eucalyptus eucalyptus. Guaiguai is pointing to one of them. Su Qinghe replied: "This is Eucalyptus eucalyptus, a tree that can be sold for money!"

"Sell for money~" Guaiguai was enjoying herself again. Along the way, she pointed at everything she saw and asked Su Qinghe. There were some things that Su Qinghe couldn't answer, so Su Zhiliang helped answer them. Guaiguai felt that it was an eye-opener. It turned out that

There are so many things on the mountain.

The first thing Su Qinghe and his party went to was not the grave of his grandfather or parents. Instead, they took advantage of the morning sun to go to the furthest grave first, which required climbing two mountains. It was said that the person buried in that grave was his grandfather's grandmother.

, According to Su Qinghe’s understanding, it should be the highest-ranking grave among all the graves to be swept during the Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival. It is also the only one. No matter how senior or of the same generation, no graves can be found.

After climbing over a mountain, Guaiguai had sharp eyes and saw Su Xiaoting burrowing in the weeds, "Sister~Sister, sister~~"

Su Qinghe followed her gaze and could vaguely see a head. He smacked his lips and looked at Guaiguai. The little guy's eyes are not so big in vain.

This way you can find someone in the grass.

Su Xiaoting didn't expect to meet Su Qinghe and others. When she heard Guaiguai calling her, she was startled. She got out of the grass and ran to join Guaiguai. She looked at Su Qinghe and the others and asked

: "Uncle Qinghe, are you going to worship the mountain?"

Su Qinghe frowned and nodded, "Why did you come to the mountain by yourself again? I just said why I didn't see you so early in the morning."

"I went up the mountain to pick wild fruits to eat!" Su Xiaoting said, taking out a large handful of small red fruits from her pocket, "I was also thinking of bringing them back to my sister to eat. Sister, let me tell you, this prickly pear

It’s delicious, sour and sweet.”

Guaiguai's eyes lit up, and he asked Su Qinghe to put her down. He ran to Su Xiaoting, grabbed a thorn bubble and stuffed it into his mouth.

Su Qinghe didn't stop him. He recognized that this was indeed a cicada. When he was a child, he and his family would often pick and eat it when they went to the mountains to visit graves.

However, the scene in front of him did not remind him of such a long time ago. Instead, he thought of the scene when he saw Su Xiaoting for the first time last year. That day, when the old well was weeding, Su Xiaoting came down from the mountain and took out a handful from her pocket.

Wild fruits.

She gave Bai Zhi the last year's handful of ripe purple-black sour peaches.

Today's handful was of newly ripened red thorns, and she gave it to Guaiguai to eat.
