Chapter 237 ancestor worship
Chapter 237 ancestor worship
My grandfather’s hometown is a small village surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The morning mist was like a veil, covering the mountains and fields.
When Tang Rui and Shen Wanxin arrived, this quiet little mountain village had already awakened from its slumber.
Village head.
The stream gurgled.
Early-rising farmers can be seen everywhere in the fields, working hard on the fertile land with crisscrossing paths.
There is no hustle and bustle of the city here, only peace and tranquility.
The car slowly drove along the newly built cement road in the village, inevitably attracting attention.
Everyone looked at it curiously.
Some curious people even followed the car.
Until it slowly stopped in front of a house that had long been vacant.
"Is he Old Cheng's grandson?" After Tang Rui got off the car, a villager immediately came up to him and asked.
Tang Rui turned around and nodded with a smile.
Not long ago, he brought his grandfather's coffin back to his hometown and held a funeral for him.
"You are..." When the villagers saw it was him, they all surrounded him.
"Bring my wife back to visit him." Tang Rui answered everyone's questions with a smile.
Open the car door for Shen Wanxin.
When she appeared, the young men were all stunned.
"Is this your wife?!" Everyone couldn't help but sigh: "Young man, you are so lucky!"
Shen Wanxin's face turned slightly red.
She felt a little shy being stared at by so many people.
Seeing her hiding behind Tang Rui, an elder shouted, "Be careful, don't scare Old Cheng's granddaughter-in-law!"
Until then.
Only then did the young and strong people who had not seen the world withdrew their gazes.
They have usually only seen beauties of this level on their mobile phones, and this is the first time they have seen them in real life.
have to say.
This look is so amazing!
Among all the internet celebrities I’ve seen in short videos, none can compare to her!
"Everyone, please clear the way and let the two children pass!" An elderly man began to maintain order.
When a stranger came to the village, almost all the villagers came out to watch the fun.
They surrounded my grandfather's yard so tightly that no one could get in or out, and some people even squeezed into the yard.
Not very enthusiastic.
Most people just want to join in the fun.
Seeing this, Tang Rui could only smile bitterly: "Please fellow villagers, please make way... We have to go out."
There is a small hill behind the village.
Not high, but the scenery is beautiful.
My grandfather is buried in a cemetery halfway up the mountain, where all the elderly villagers are buried.
"Come on, let's go and take a look together!"
"Old Cheng's grandson is really amazing..."
"There are no other relatives in their family, and the entire funeral of the old man was handled by the grandson."
Maybe it's because I have nothing to do.
Many villagers followed Tang Rui and his companions and climbed halfway up the mountain while discussing the matter.
Shen Wanxin heard the discussions of the villagers and turned her head to look around.
Of course she understood the sadness of losing a loved one, and she had experienced it twice before.
She understood Tang Rui's silence at this moment.
Shen Wanxin quietly turned her small hand held in the man's hand and interlocked her fingers with his.
Tang Rui turned his head.
The tenderness emanating from her eyes slightly dissipated the sadness in her heart.
Tang Rui chuckled, pulled her through the cemetery gate, and turned straight to the right.
This cemetery was built about ten years ago.
Long before it was built, this place had already been the first choice for the small villages at the foot of the mountain to bury their dead.
The place is big enough and the feng shui is good.
But there was no planning in the construction of the monuments before, and they were basically built here and there, looking messy.
It was not until the cemetery was built that it was finally standardized.
My grandfather’s tomb is newly built and is not far from the entrance of the cemetery.
After entering the park, the two turned directly to the right and soon saw a neat row of tombstones extending forward.
Take two steps forward.
Shen Wanxin stopped with Tang Rui who was standing still.
She looked up and saw the words engraved on the tombstone and the porcelain photo in the middle.
The old man in the photo has a friendly smile.
Although it was the first time I saw him, he still felt very friendly.
"Grandpa, I'm here to see you..." Tang Rui let go of his hand and knelt down in front of his grandfather's grave.
Shen Wanxin was stunned at first.
Then she knelt down as well.
"I'm fine now, you don't have to worry about me..." Tang Rui's voice was very soft, as if he didn't want to disturb the old man's sweet dream.
As he spoke, he unpacked the items he had brought with him.
Today is not Qingming Festival, nor is it any other festival for ancestor worship and tomb sweeping.
However, commemorating loved ones does not necessarily require a specific holiday, you can do it whenever you want.
Tang Rui unwrapped the paper strings and various offerings and placed them neatly in front of his grandfather's tomb.
Shen Wanxin wanted to help, but didn't know how to start.
She was at a loss when Tang Rui suddenly grabbed her little hand.
"Grandpa, I came to see you today..." Tang Rui turned his head and looked at her with a smile on his face.
“The main thing…”
"It's to introduce someone to you."
"Her name is Shen Wanxin..." Tang Rui turned around and fixed his eyes on his grandfather's photo.
The granddaughter-in-law that my grandfather had been dreaming of ended up letting him down.
Tang Rui didn't want the old man to have regrets in his grave, so he was particularly serious when introducing Shen Wanxin.
He wanted to tell the old man.
The woman before was not worth the old man's concern.
The granddaughter-in-law brought to the old man’s grave now is a thousand times and ten thousand times better than the previous one!
As Tang Rui was telling the story, the wind started to blow in the mountains.
The breeze swayed the dense leaves around, making a soft rustling sound, as if responding to Tang Rui.
After a long time.
Tang Rui's voice paused.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out his lighter.
Then he placed it in Shen Wanxin's little hand and said softly, "Wife, you come?"
Do not know why.
Shen Wanxin was a little nervous.
Because she didn't know whether her grandfather was satisfied with her.
"What are you thinking about?" Tang Rui seemed to see through her thoughts and said with a smile: "Grandpa must be happy to see you..."
With his gentle comfort, Shen Wanxin felt less embarrassed.
Although his little hands were still shaking slightly, he managed to light the fire as he wished.
The flames ignited the paper money piled in front of the tomb, and the gold ingots made of gold foil also began to burn.
As Tang Rui stood up, he also pulled Shen Wanxin up.
The two men stood in front of the tomb with solemn expressions, their eyes fixed on the photo from beginning to end.
The light mountain breeze blew up the burnt ashes and gently fell on the shoulders of the two men.
After a while.
The two of them paid homage to the tombstone together.
The wind gradually grew stronger, and the fire grew more intensely with the wind.
The flames jumped with joy, and the green smoke produced by the burning rose up.
Perhaps because of the current wind speed, the floating green smoke kept lingering around the two of them.
Tang Rui couldn't help but want to make a joke: "Wife, have you ever heard of that saying?!"
Shen Wanxin turned her head in confusion.
"The old friend gently stroked the brow of the present person, dispelling half of your life's disasters..."
"Look..." He pointed at the rising smoke and said with a smile, "The smoke is always blowing towards you..."
"This is grandpa appearing in spirit. He really likes you!"
"Ah?!" Shen Wanxin was stunned. Isn't this superstition?! This guy actually believes in this?!
She turned her gaze and looked at the photo of her grandfather.
Tang Rui's statement is highly emotional and has no practical basis.
but…
She loves it!
