Chapter 25: An unexpected visitor during the Qingming Festival [Please collect and recommend]
"On the fifteenth day after the Spring Equinox, when Dou Zhi Ding is standing, it is the Qingming Festival. At that time, everything is clean and clear. At the same time, when the air is clear and the scenery is bright, everything is visible, hence the name."
Tomb-Sweeping Day is one hundred and eight days after the winter solstice. One hundred and eight represent perfection, auspiciousness, long-term, and profound numbers, which are full of profound meaning. Today, Tomb-Sweeping Day has become a big day for people to remember their deceased relatives and worship their ancestors. Ancestor worship outing, see
With the beautiful spring scenery.
In the morning, the strong fragrance of mugwort wafted out from the yard of Li's house. Through his blurred eyes, Li Feng vaguely watched figures busy at work. People in the mountains go to bed early and get up early. Li Feng was still not used to it after being here for more than ten days, so he rubbed it
Blurred eyes.
"Mom, why is it so early today?" After washing his face, he looked at the time and saw that it was only half past five. Although the sky was already clear, it was a bit too early. Isn't it usually around six o'clock? Li Feng was confused and shouted.
He yawned and stretched. The fat guy on the side was chasing the chickens and playing around. On the branches, turtledoves and swallows were chirping, and squirrels were nibbling young leaves on the trees. It was very quiet.
A vivid landscape painting was spread out in front of him. Li Feng was shocked when he saw it. He became more awake and his nose twitched. His attention was transferred to Zhang Lan's hands, and he looked at the mugwort with some doubts. It was Qingming Festival now, not the Dragon Boat Festival.
, mugwort besides making some youth balls.
"It's nothing." Zhang Lan did not say that mugwort can be eaten and has some other functions. Li Feng is not sure about these. But he knows that the Dragon Boat Festival is used to ward off evil spirits, but it is not necessary for the Qingming Festival now. Maybe Zhang Lan burned it
Wormwood, smoked mosquitoes, insects.
"Get up, let's go." Li Shan went out for a while, holding a shovel in his hand. He saw Li Feng getting up and clapped his hands.
"What's wrong, Dad?" Li Feng was a little confused. He hadn't eaten yet. What's going on? Li Feng, who followed Li Shan out, asked in a low voice.
It turns out that today, these are the ancestors of Lijiagang who are worshiping at the cemetery. The juniors such as Li Feng have forgotten it. They just asked the old man to do it. The second master stood at the entrance of the village early, with more than a dozen fathers behind him, along with their grandchildren and sons.
, Li Feng looked at his uncle, his third uncle, and his cousins from each family. There were about ten carrot heads, big and small, around them. The second child was hiding behind his third uncle, making faces at Li Feng.
"Second uncle, all the families are here." Li Fukui looked at the family members and came forward and said. The second uncle nodded, and a group of people went up the mountain in great force.
Tuofeng Ling'er is rarely so lively. Every family contributed money, and it was mainly prepared by the second master. This matter was done many days in advance. It was done in a formal and complicated manner. Li Feng followed closely and looked around, Li Can
, several people are not here, there are only a few people of my generation, and they may not be free. The older generation is quite complete.
Following Li Feng, a bunch of kids behind him were looking around, most of them just having fun, not stopping to pick flowers or catching butterflies, with cheerful faces, as if they were traveling around the mountains and rivers. My own adults, looking at
Li Feng slapped his butt twice, and for a while, the sky was filled with cries, adding a touch of sadness to the atmosphere. Li Feng looked back at the second child, rubbing his butt, with tears in his eyes, and still had no time to spare, here
Grab some grass and pick some flowers over there.
The cemetery looks a bit messy, more or less desolate, and some of the graves are unclear, but these are the ancestors.
The Master divided his families, and the number of sacrifices became smaller and smaller. Various sacrifices were made to each family, leaving the old ones that became the tombs of ancestors and no one to worship them. In the end, the elders in the village couldn't stand it any longer, so they organized everyone to hold public sacrifices, which are important every year.
Festivals, Spring Festival and Qingming Festival.
The elders came forward to place offerings, fruits, food, drinks, and paper for two dollars per family. One person from each family came forward to worship, while the rest cleaned the graves. There were many messy branches among the grass.
Small animals, snakes, rats, crickets, butterflies, a bunch of children cleaned up and forgot about business, busy catching crickets, butterflies, and grass snakes, watching the adults smile bitterly.
The grand ceremony was actually a bit messy. In the end, everyone kowtowed, set off firecrackers, and each person held a flag and placed it on the grave. The rules are better and no longer used. Now it is good to have someone to offer sacrifices. The second master looked at a group of children laughing and looked a little depressed.
Not happy.
Li Feng looked at it but didn't know what to say. He walked back with Li Shan and reached a place on the hill. Li Shan suddenly listened and looked straight. Li Feng shouted a few times, but Li Shan was stunned.
Stunned, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes, Li Feng looked at Li Shan and stared at the spot. It was nothing. There was an old man and a younger woman in the distance, supporting the old man, standing in front of a grave.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Li Feng asked, not noticing the mist in Li Shan's eyes and the unbelievable surprise in his eyes.
"Let's go." Li Shan pulled Li Feng, who was confused, towards the old man quickly. Li Feng also noticed something strange about Li Shan and couldn't help but pay attention to the old man in front of him. He had white hair and was a little thin. The woman behind him looked at him.
He is in his forties, dressed fashionably, and does not look like a country boy.
"Brother Lin, is that you?" Li Shan's voice trembled rarely, and he looked at the old man, with a trace of moisture condensing in his eyes. The old man seemed a little surprised, and looked at Li Shan blankly for more than ten seconds, showing a hint of surprise.
"Little Shanzi, haha, it's you." The old man walked a few steps quickly and came to Li Shan. The accompanying woman showed a trace of panic on her face and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man. This is a hillside. If someone falls and touches him, it will be a big mistake.
What should I do?
"It's me, Brother Lin. I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still strong." Li Shan rarely showed such a hearty laugh and supported the old man. The old man waved his hand to the woman next to him.
"Oh, I'm old, I'm old, there's nothing tough or not." The old man seemed unwilling to talk about the topic, and Li Shan didn't pay much attention. Now his face was filled with joy, "Let's go, Brother Lin, let's go home and talk."
Li Feng took a look and guessed in his mind what the relationship between the old man and his father was. Along the way, listening to the two talking, Li Feng got to know the old man a little bit, and there was also the matter of the dam.
For more than thirty years, Fengshan County has responded to the call of the country to build a river dam, and the old man in front of me was one of the designers at the time. He has now retired. Think about it, he was able to design it in his thirties at that time.
For such a big project, the knowledge must be good. No wonder Li Shan admires him so much. Children in the mountains who are 17 or 18 years old admire learned people the most. At that time, after Li Shan finished his work every day, he often ran to Lin Chengdong.
, the two of them became familiar with each other after going back and forth.
Li Shan was familiar with the mountains, and every time he took Lin Chengdong into the mountains to hunt some game to improve his life. After getting along for several years, they became like brothers. Unfortunately, the reservoir was built, and Lin Chengdong returned to the city from the mountains. Li Shan turned thirty.
Every time I think about it, I feel a little regretful as to why I didn’t leave an address.
Seeing the two of them so happy, Li Feng felt happy and tried to talk to the aunt beside him. He didn't expect that the old man had such an unusual status now. This woman was just the old man's nanny. After going down the mountain, he looked at the car parked on the roadside.
He was driving a car, which was pretty good. Li Feng was a little surprised, seeing that the old man seemed quite a simple person.
After returning home, Li Feng was busy pouring tea, and Zhang Lan took out walnuts and almonds to serve. The old man smiled and waved his hand. Now that his teeth are bad, he can't eat anymore. The nanny next to him was not polite, and chatted with Zhang Lan while laughing.
Er. Li Shan asked Li Feng to go to the town to buy some vegetables, but the old man stopped him.
"Dad, I'm going to catch some fish in the pond." What to say about guests, and they are his father's close friends, so they can't be ignored. Li Feng said, took the net bag, came to the Taolin, and saw that most of it had been covered
I was very excited about the house. I looked around and saw no one, got into the room, turned around and entered the space.
The space was filled with the fragrance of flowers. The lotus leaves in the pond were as big as a plate. There were carp, crucian carp, and some eels below. Li Feng searched for a while and looked at the pheasant. He thought about catching it and eating it. After thinking about it,
Forget it, ponds like this are not common. I caught two crucian carps weighing more than half a kilogram, a few eels weighing three to four ounces, and a carp weighing more than three kilograms. I had a fish feast today. Carrying a net bag, Li Feng paced.
, walked slowly and leisurely towards home. It was too fast to arouse suspicion, so he walked outside the courtyard and saw Zhang Lan, Liu Yue, Uncle Lin, and Li Shan gathered in the vegetable garden.
Speaking of which, his own vegetable garden is getting more and more prosperous. Everyone is envious of it, not to mention the arm-long beans that are densely packed and tender. The red lantern tomatoes are so heavy that the branches are broken. Zhang Lan has made a lot of bamboo.
The stand looks pleasing to the eye. The eggplant is slender, purple and glowing with fluorescence. The root of the leek is as thick as a little finger, and a pinch of water will squirt it. Not to mention the green pepper. The slender loofah hangs down from the eaves and is three to four meters long on the ground. In previous years, two
There are very few meters, except for two meters which is common today.
The old man looked at such a gratifying scene and laughed like never before. Although Liu Yue looked like a nanny, in fact, she was a nurse in the real sense. The monthly salary was tens of thousands of months. She was a real urbanite who studied as a nurse. How had she seen these before?
As soon as Zhang Lan talked about picking vegetables, Liu Yue quickly followed. Even the old man wanted to take a look. This would not be such a scene.
Li Feng carried the fish and called Zhang Yue to come out to serve it. He picked up a tomato and started chewing it. He hadn't eaten yet in the morning.
"Clean up, this kid." Liu Yue looked at it and said with a smile.
"It's okay, these are not pesticides." Zhang Lan pulled Liu Yue and picked a fist-sized tomato and handed it to her son. Li Shan did the same thing and picked a ripe tomato and handed it to Lin Chengdong. Liu Yue looked at such a big book
What she wanted to say, the old man waved his hand, and Liu Yue opened her mouth.
"Try it, it's delicious." Zhang Lan greeted him warmly with a smile, which made Liu Yue a little embarrassed. Seeing Li Feng and Lin Chengdong eating with gusto, he took a small bite, his eyes lit up, and he ate big. No,
It’s rare to find such authentic tomatoes these days.
"It still tastes like the mountains. Those persimmons in the city have no taste." Lin Chengdong wiped his mouth after eating and sighed. Liu Yue nodded repeatedly. It's not that most persimmons in the city are ripened. There is such natural sourness there.
It tastes sweet.
