When Lin Hao jumped up from the bed, he looked around and found that it was already dawn. When he heard it more clearly, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, because the sound of machine gun fire was clearly the sound of firecrackers, which sounded near the clinic.
What the hell? Didn’t they say that firecrackers are not allowed in Yangcheng?
Thinking about it again, Lin Hao suddenly realized that although firecrackers are not allowed in Yangcheng, there are no such restrictions in Huicheng, especially in rural areas. If you come from Shigongqiao, isn't it the rural area of Huicheng?
Put on your clothes and go out to take a look. Although the sky is bright, the weather is obviously not good. The sky is covered with dark clouds, as if covered with a mysterious and gloomy gray cloth. Obviously, a heavy rain is brewing!
He raised his eyes and looked ahead, and saw groups of people walking towards the stone arch bridge. Some of them were carrying baskets, incense paper, oil candles, and things like sacrifices.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Lin Hao suddenly remembered that Yan Su seemed to have said last night that today is the day for collective grave sweeping and ancestor worship in Shikeng Village. Every villager in Shikeng Village, whether they are Yan, Fan or Wu, no matter
Whether they are in Yangcheng, out of town, or even overseas, they will come back to pay homage to their ancestors and sweep their ancestors' graves.
Thinking of the word collective, Lin Hao's heart moved. The collective should also include the surname Lin, right?
In this case, are the clan members surnamed Lin also coming back from all directions today? If they all come back, are their own family members among them?
Just when Lin Hao was thinking this, a bunch of firecrackers were suddenly thrown at his feet, and a loud crackling sound was heard at his feet, which scared him so much that he jumped away.
After the noise, Lin Hao saw a man about the same age as himself, but dressed in non-mainstream clothes... Hey, is this guy a boy or a girl?
But it's no wonder that Lin Hao couldn't tell the difference, because this guy's dress was so unusual. He had fluffy red hair, almost standing on end, and a thick layer of white on his face.
, the eye shadow is thicker than Zeng Fan's, the lips are painted black and purple, and the whole face looks like a zombie.
There are several earrings on one of his ears, and a thorn-like metal necklace hangs around his neck. Under the necklace is a large T-shirt, with a small suit vest on the outside, and a loose trousers on the lower body.
Cropped trousers, one leg is black and the other is red, and she has a pair of long boots on her feet.
You can't see your breasts or waist, and even half of your face is covered by hair. If you don't take off your pants, who would know whether he (she) is a boy or a girl?
After the man threw a bunch of firecrackers, he saw Lin Hao looking at him, so he put his hand into the inner pocket of his vest, as if to pull out something, but in the end he pulled out a middle finger.
If it were an ordinary person, being provoked like this by him, he would definitely be furious on the spot. He would definitely shout at him: Come here, I promise I can't beat you to death!
However, Lin Hao was young and mature, and naturally he would not have the same experience as this kind of guy who didn't know what he meant, so he didn't pay attention to it, turned around and walked inside.
"Black-faced God!" Just as he turned around, a familiar shout came from behind.
Lin Hao looked back and saw that a group of people walking behind the non-male and non-mainstream people had already followed. The person who called him was Yan Dong, followed by Uncle Yan.
Yan Dong ran forward and said: "Good morning, Black-faced God!"
Seeing it was Yan Dong, Lin Hao smiled and said, "Weren't you earlier than me?"
Yan Dong yawned and said: "I was forced, I have no choice, today is a big day in the village..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Hao had already grabbed both of his hands, rolled up his sleeves and looked at them.
Yan Dong was stunned for a moment at first, but he quickly came to his senses and shouted dissatisfied: "Black-faced God, I've stopped touching that thing a long time ago, okay!"
After checking, Lin Hao found that there was indeed no injection needle hole in his hand. He felt a little relieved and then said with a smile: "It's just a look. What does it matter? I won't get pregnant."
Yan Dong rolled his eyes at him, pulled down his sleeves and asked, "By the way, where is Yan Su? Is she still sleeping? She also wants to visit the grave."
Lin Hao said: "I don't know, maybe I'm preparing!"
Yan Dong came forward and asked with a wink: "Hey, Black Faced God, how far have you two developed now? Have you..."
Before he finished speaking, he could already feel the murderous aura coming from behind Lin Hao. He almost subconsciously closed his mouth. He looked up and saw that Yan Su, who was wearing long clothes, trousers and a straw hat, was raising his eyebrows coldly.
staring at him.
"Hehe!" Yan Dongshan smiled and waved: "Sister Su, no, Aunt Su, morning, I'm about to go in and call you!"
Yan Su snorted coldly and ignored him. He turned to Lin Hao and said, "Black-faced God, I went up the mountain with them to sweep the tombs. I won't be back until noon. When Hua'er comes over, she won't be able to do all that by herself."
Turtle, please help me if you have time."
Lin Hao said: "Oh, I got it!"
At this time, Uncle Yan had already walked over. After greeting Lin Hao, he shouted to the non-mainstream person who just threw firecrackers at Lin Hao: "Yan Xing, come here and meet Dr. Lin."
"Tch!" The man named Yan Xing snorted and retreated into the crowd. He didn't know whether he really didn't care or was afraid of being beaten by Lin Hao.
Uncle Yan sighed and shook his head: "This child is usually spoiled by his family! Don't be as knowledgeable as him."
Lin Hao said: "It's just a little kid, it will be fine when you grow up!"
This is undoubtedly something that can be said without pain in the back, because the person named Yan Xing is about the same age as him, even several months older than him!
Uncle Yan looked at Yan Xing, then at Lin Hao, and finally shook his head again. Comparing one person to another will lead to death, and comparing goods to goods will have to be thrown away!
"Uncle Yan, where are you going to sweep the grave?" Lin Hao saw that Uncle Yan was waiting for the people behind him to catch up. He had no intention of leaving for a while, and he couldn't leave immediately, so he was going to pay him for a few chats.
dollars.
Uncle Yan pointed behind him and said, "Hanhun Ridge!"
Lin Hao said doubtfully: "Don't Broken Soul Ridge belong to Huicheng? Why is your tomb there?"
Yan Bodao: "There was a mountainous land expropriation in Shikeng Village before, and many cemeteries had to be moved. We, Yan, discussed with Lantian Village and bought a piece of mountainous land in Duanhun Ridge, and all the cemeteries belonging to Yan were moved there.
"
Lin Hao suddenly realized, looked at the sky and said, "But today doesn't look like a good day for sweeping graves!"
"Who says it's not the case!" Uncle Yan looked up and said, "I won't tell you anymore. We have to go up the mountain quickly. Let's talk later when we have time!"
Lin Hao hurriedly said: "Uncle Yan, wait a minute, I have something to ask you!"
Yan Bo said: "What's the matter?"
Lin Hao said: "If today's grave sweeping is carried out by a collective of Shikeng Village, will other surnames besides Yan also be included?"
Uncle Yan thought of Lin Hao's life experience and suddenly understood, "You want to ask me if Lin Hao also comes back to visit the grave, right?"
Lin Hao nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes!"
Uncle Yan thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, your surname Lin used to have some cemeteries, but when the mountainous land in the village was expropriated, the cemeteries had to be moved. At that time, your elders surnamed Lin could not reach a unified opinion.
So they did not buy the mountain land on Duanhun Ridge. In fact, the Fan and Wu surnames did not buy the land on Duanhun Ridge, but rented a place near Lantian Village for resettlement."
Lin Hao asked doubtfully: "What about the remains found in our Lin cemetery?"
Yan Bodao: "Most of them stayed in your ancestral hall, and a few were taken away with them when they moved. So every year when the tombs are swept, no one named Lin comes back."
Lin Hao was undoubtedly disappointed when he heard the news. He originally thought this was a good opportunity to find his relatives!
After Uncle Yan and others left, Lin Hao returned to the yard to exercise his muscles as usual, but he was obviously a little absent-minded and couldn't cheer up. However, even he couldn't tell what he was thinking in his heart.
While I was practicing the seventy-one pieces of brocade, a timid voice came from the door: "Brother Lin!"
Lin Hao looked up and found that Tian Meihua was here. He put away his messy thoughts and said with a smile: "The flowers are here! It's quite early today!"
Tian Meihua responded in a low voice: "Sister Su said she was going to visit the grave today and asked me to come over early."
Lin Hao nodded and said: "Yes, she has gone up the mountain. I will feed the turtle with you later."
Tian Meihua seemed a little surprised and looked at him happily, then lowered her head and said: "Then...I'll go in first!"
Lin Hao said: "Go ahead, I'll be right away!"
After making two more gestures in the yard, Lin Hao walked into the backyard and found that Tian Meihua had changed into work clothes. In fact, it is not very appropriate to say work clothes, because she was still wearing her own clothes underneath, but with extra clothes on the outside.
Wearing a sky blue apron, her long hair was tied up and wrapped under a purple headscarf. It looked more formal, but made her look extraordinarily beautiful and delicate.
At first glance, she looks slim, youthful and graceful, giving people the wonderful feeling of a girl next door growing up.
Tian Meihua is undoubtedly a beauty, and she will grow into a beautiful woman in a few years.
Lin Hao walked up to her, and while he and she were taking care of Yan Su's baby turtles, he asked: "Hua'er, have you been feeling uncomfortable lately?"
Tian Meihua shook her head and said: "It was still very uncomfortable before, and I often had nightmares at night, but now they are almost gone. Brother Lin, thank you for curing me!"
Lin Hao smiled and said, "Does Hua'er want to go back?"
Tian Meihua was silent and did not answer.
Lin Hao asked: "What's wrong?"
Tian Meihua said: "I don't want to go back, but I am worried about grandpa and grandma."
Lin Hao thought for a while and asked: "How old is Hua'er this year?"
Tian Meihua said: "Already sixteen years old."
Lin Hao said: "At sixteen, you are basically half an adult. You can make your own decisions about some things. For example, if you want to stay or go back, you can think about it yourself."
Tian Meihua was silent for a long time, then she opened her mouth again and said: "If I stay, I'm afraid I will have to end my student days and start a working career."
Lin Hao asked doubtfully: "Why? You are still so young, you should continue to study."
Tian Meihua said: "My dad said that I have a registered permanent residence in another place. It will be very difficult for me to transfer to Yangcheng. It will cost a lot of money to find connections."
Lin Hao suddenly realized and asked: "Is this what you are worried about?"
Tian Meihua nodded, "Yeah!"
Lin Hao thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to stay, leave the transfer issue to my brother!"
Tian Meihua's eyes lit up and she asked weakly: "Is it really okay?"
Lin Hao nodded and said: "Yes!"
Tian Meihua was a little excited, but also a little embarrassed and said: "But won't this be too troublesome..."
Lin Hao smiled, stretched out his hand to tickle her pretty nose, "It's no trouble, don't you call me brother? Why shouldn't a brother do something for his sister?"
Tian Meihua was obviously not used to being so close to him, and originally wanted to dodge, but seeing his smile and feeling his favor, she accepted it calmly, and there was a rare smile on her face.
After finishing this work, it happened to be working time. Lin Hao went out to go to the clinic. But when he walked to the intersection outside, he heard the sound of tomb-sweeping firecrackers. He changed his mind and turned around.
