According to custom on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family will go to the graves together to worship their ancestors and pray for their blessing and protection for their descendants.
Of course, Li Ke doesn't believe this either, but it seems that many families with inheritance will have ancestral halls to worship their ancestors.
It is said that my mother-in-law's family used to have one, but it was later destroyed during the turbulent times.
The third brother and the third sister-in-law, who were not supposed to come back until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, also came back today.
Dozens of people from the whole family, young and old, walked up the mountain to offer sacrifices.
The men carried chickens, sheep, pigs and other sacrificial objects, while the women looked after the children, talking and laughing all the way up the mountain.
Since it had just rained recently, the road up the mountain was not easy to walk. One foot was deep and the other was shallow.
Soon, Li Ke's shoes were covered with thick wet mud.
The pace that was already not brisk became even heavier, and I slowly fell behind the team.
Everyone will stop when their shoes are stained with mud, take off their shoes and bump them, and then continue walking after the mud is knocked off.
Li Ke was embarrassed to take off his shoes in public, so he had to drag his heavy shoes forward slowly.
Chen Xingyi and Chen Haohao worked together to lift half of the pig. As they walked forward, they turned back to pay attention to Li Ke.
Seeing that Li Ke was getting further and further behind.
"Ask your dad to carry it with you for a while." Chen Xingyi said and handed the end of the rope to Chen Haohao.
Quickly walk back to find Li Ke.
"Brother-in-law, it's true that he is such a big man and can't live without his wife for a while."
"That's right, what do you mean by your uncle?" Chen Xingtao, the second child, also echoed.
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a violent shiver on my head.
Just as he was about to return it, he turned around and saw that it was the tigress at home. Chen Xingtao instantly withered.
Chen Haohao also took a beating.
"Who, who attacked me?"
"You're my own mother, why do you still want to fight back?"
"How can that be possible? If my mother beats me, why don't I just stand there obediently and get beaten?" Chen Haohao said glibly.
The main thing is that if he runs, he will be beaten by his father and mother in a mixed doubles match.
It's better to just stand and let his mother beat him until he's done.
"I know how much I care about my wife, but I don't know how much I care about you," Jiang Meifeng said, changing her arms to hug her little son.
This guy is getting heavier and heavier, smashing his arm.
There were many people, but I didn't dare to let him down and run on his own, as the speed was too slow.
"Hey, wife, give me the child and I'll hold it." Chen Xingtao said with a naive smile.
"You can carry it yourself." Chen Xingtao handed half of the pig to Chen Haohao.
excuse me?
Is it only me who is injured?
You all feel sorry for your wife.
Should I carry such a big half pig by myself?
Does anyone feel sorry for me? Chen Haohao shouted in his heart.
Hehe, not yet.
Here, after Chen Xingtao took over the child, Jiang Meifeng felt relaxed and prepared to go with Li Ke.
As a result, I looked back and saw that there was no trace of Li Ke anywhere.
What is Li Ke doing at this time?
She was being held in Chen Xingyi's arms, helping her clean the wet mud from her shoes.
"Are you okay? This person is coming and going, I'm so embarrassed." Li Ke buried his head in his arms, feeling extremely shy.
She could have sat on the stone by herself.
Chen Xingyifei said that stones are dirty and cold.
So he sat on the stone and Li Ke sat in his arms.
It could have been cleaned up in a few strokes, but Chen Xingyi took his time.
First use dead branches to scrape the mud off your shoes.
Then I wiped the shoes clean bit by bit with a handkerchief.
Fortunately, Li Ke was wearing small leather boots.
If these were snow boots, Chen Xing wouldn't be able to wipe them clean until dawn.
"It's not okay yet? Just do it casually, since you have to step on the mud anyway."
Li Ke secretly put her head out of Chen Xingyi's arms and saw Chen Xingyi cleaning her shoes with a handkerchief.
"Oh, what are you doing? Just get some dry leaves or toilet paper to wipe it with. Why can't you wipe it with your handkerchief?"
Chen Xingyi didn't say anything, he just wiped Li Ke's white leather boots clean, and then put them on for her with his own hands.
Then I wrapped the dirty handkerchief in a plastic bag and put it back in my pocket.
"I forgot to bring toilet paper, and the dry leaves couldn't be wiped clean. I reached out to find it, and there was only a handkerchief in my pocket." Chen Xingyi explained simply.
Li Ke looked at the clean white shoes on his feet again, "You wiped them so clean for me, I even dropped to the ground accidentally."
"Then don't let it go, do you want to carry it or hug it?" Chen Xingyi asked.
"Oh, please put me down quickly. Everyone is going up the mountain to offer sacrifices today. It's embarrassing to see so many people coming and going." Li Ke struggled to get off the ground.
Chen Xingyi hugged her tighter, "I'm sorry, then just wrap your face with a handkerchief so that others can't recognize you and you won't be embarrassed. No one knows who you are anyway."
It seems to make sense.
But something seemed wrong.
Li Ke was so dizzy that he couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he was hugged away by Chen Xingyi.
She had no choice but to hug Chen Xingyi's neck tightly and bury her head in his arms.
This should have the same effect as wrapping your face with a handkerchief, right?
"How about taking your wife to visit the graves of our ancestors?" came a middle-aged male voice from behind.
Li Ke was so frightened that he buried his face even tighter.
Finally realized something was wrong.
Others don't need to see her face at all, they will know who she is when they see Chen Xingyi.
"Yes, Uncle Jun, you also go to pay homage to your ancestors."
As soon as Uncle Jun from the same village walked away, Li Ke quickly struggled to get down.
"Hurry up and put me down. I have to walk by myself. If someone sees me again, will I still be a human being? I'm afraid that before tomorrow, word will spread throughout the village that Chen Xingyi's daughter-in-law is so lazy that she has to go to the mountain to worship her ancestors.
I can't even walk even if I hold her in my arms."
"Oh, don't make trouble. I'll hold you and walk fast. Otherwise, if you go alone, it will be dark by the time you catch up with your brother and sister-in-law."
Li Ke thinks about it, it makes sense.
If she gets down and walks by herself, her soles will definitely be covered in wet mud and she won't be able to walk fast.
We can't all arrive, and the ancestor worship must wait for them both.
That would be outrageous.
"Then when you are almost there, you must put me down and let me walk over by myself." Li Ke said sheepishly.
"As you command, my Queen."
Chen Xingyi's physical strength was astonishing, and he could walk very fast while holding Li Ke in his arms.
When he is about to catch up with the main force, he will slow down again.
I thought I was finally close to home and would not meet anyone again, but I ended up meeting Dong Chunxiao's family.
Her father, brother, sister-in-law, and her were all together.
Li Ke quickly struggled to get down.
Dong Chunxiao walked over quickly and said, "Hey, isn't this my sister? She is willing to go to the ground. Who am I to say? I saw someone hugging a princess from afar. It turns out to be my sister. Look at these white shoes.
There’s not a trace of sludge at all.”
Dong Chunxiao laughed and teased Li Ke.
He didn't even look at Chen Xingyi.
Once upon a time, Dong Chunxiao's eyes were glued to Chen Xingyi when he saw him from a distance.
I really want to write about sweets recently. I wonder if you like reading this kind of thing?
