my daughter my hometown

Chapter 415
In the next few days, Xiao Hua no longer worried about unfamiliar places.

When the eldest grandmother wakes up, Xiao Ba will fly over to look for it immediately.Then the two birds will fly to the ancestral hall to sing to the old man.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Su Wu was helping out at Su Qing's house.

Aunt Ma hurried over to look for him, with one trouser leg high and the other trouser leg low.

"Xiao Wu," she looked around the yard, "don't make any arrangements. Find some people to bring the eldest aunt back to see here."

Su Wu looked at Aunt Ma in silence for a long time before taking out his mobile phone to find someone.

After a while, Su Hai and the others ran over panting.

With a heavy heart, several people looked at each other and went to the ancestral hall together.

"Grandmother," Su Wu pushed the ferocious Xiao Ba away, "I'm Xiao Wu. Your house has been repaired, and now it's big and beautiful. We'll take you back to have a look."

Su Qing beside her had red eyes, she nodded.

Su Hai hurried over, and together with Su Wu carefully carried the thin old man into the reclining chair.

Soon the group left the ancestral hall and arrived at the gate of Su Qing's courtyard.

"Grandma, we're back home now." Su Qing reminded loudly from the side.

"Do you smell the fresh fir? Our old gate was broken, so my granddaughter replaced it with a new one. It's thick."

She shook the brass ring on the gate, "Did you hear the sound of ding dong ding dong? The granddaughter also got a new pair of door knockers."

"The door knocker is not too high. When the granddaughter has children, you can lead them in and out as you like."

After entering the main courtyard, Su Qing described the situation in the courtyard one by one, especially the big Bitong tree.

"Grandma, would you like to touch this Bitong tree?"

"It has grown very tall and big. Now Xiaowu, Haizi and the other four or five big men can't hug it hand in hand."

"When I was young, I liked sitting here while swinging on the swing and listening to your stories. I remember that once the rope of the swing broke for some reason, and I cried for a long time. It scared you."

"Now my granddaughter has also installed two swings on the tree, using iron chains and cowhide cushions. It's very comfortable to sit on."

……

In this way, Su Wu and Su Hai carried the eldest grandmother around the house, and Su Qing followed suit and talked non-stop.In the end, it almost made her voice hoarse.

After carefully turning around, a group of people carried the old lady back to the ear room of the ancestral temple.

Not long after Su Wu carried the eldest grandmother back to the bed, the corners of her mouth moved.

Su Qing quickly leaned over, "Grandma, what do you want to say? Granddaughter listen."

Everyone held their breath, not daring to take a breath.However, the eldest grandmother seemed to be raving, and kept uttering syllables with unclear meanings, which made Su Qing look dazed.

Squeak!

Xiao Ba next to him seemed to understand and squeaked loudly.

In addition to Su Qing and Su Xiaolan, several older girls were present.They froze there when they heard mynah's voice.

"Xiaolan, what did your great grandmother say?" Aunt Ma quietly tugged at Su Xiaolan's clothes.

Just as Su Xiaolan was about to speak, Su Qing straightened her waist, "Grandmother said it. It's not yet the first lunar month, so let's not make a big deal about her funeral, so as not to disturb the tourists."

After Su Qing finished speaking, the eldest grandmother on the bed seemed to hear it, and stopped talking.

Everyone was startled, and looked at Su Xiaolan and the girls one after another.

They looked at each other and nodded in unison.

At noon the next day, the whole village stopped what they were doing.Except for those who were older than the eldest grandmother, everyone else gathered in the ancestral hall.

Even Su Xue rushed back from school.

The whole family began to line up to enter the ancestral hall to visit the great grandmother for the last time.

After waiting for a while, it was finally the turn of Su Wu's family.

He led his wife and children and walked in with An An.

With her father around, Su Wan wasn't too scared.She looked around curiously, and even raised her hand to say hello to Xiao Ba and Xiao Hua.

"Grandmother," Su Qing reminded loudly from the side, "Patriarch Su Wu, younger brother and sister Wen Lan, and their second and sixth girl Su Wan are here to see you off!"

Su Wan didn't understand what happened at all.Seeing that Su Qing, who had always been close to her, was crying, she was taken aback, and quickly took out a piece of candy and stuffed it into her hand.

"Aunt Qing is ashamed, she's such an adult and returns Doudou. Eat a piece of sweet candy, remember to be happy."

"Thank you, Wanwan." Su Qing silently put the candy into her mouth and smiled slightly, "Mmm, it's so sweet!"

Su Wu rubbed his daughter's head, and handed her over to Wen Lan next to her.

"Grandmother, don't worry. Xiaowu assures you that our life in Yangxin Valley will get better and better in the future, and there will be more and more people in our clan. Sooner or later, we will be able to restore the former grand occasion of a thousand-member clan."

He glanced at Su Qing, "Sister Qing, we grew up together, and we will continue to support and take care of each other in the future. You don't have to worry about her."

Wen Lan also stepped forward and said a few words, and the family retreated.

"Father, Wanwan thinks that Aunt Qing's room is so dark and dark." After leaving the ancestral hall, Su Wan still felt a little shuddering.

Su Wu kissed his daughter twice.

The area of ​​the ear chamber is not large and the lighting is good, so it is naturally neither dark nor dark.

But every time the little girl went in, she wanted to leave immediately, so she naturally felt uncomfortable.

"Honey, take Wanwan home first." Su Wu took a hatchet from the tribe next to him, "I have to chop a pillar."

"Then be careful." Although Wen Lan was puzzled, she didn't ask further.She put her daughter on An An's back, and the two went home together.

What Su Wu is going to cut down is actually called the pillar.

A beam in the ancestral hall is divided into two ends, one end is supported by the patriarch, and the other end is carried by the clan wife.

When the clan wife dies, even if there is a successor wife, the pillars must be put on top for a full year before the successor wife removes them.

At that time, the successor wife will really take off the word succession.

At six o'clock that evening, my great grandmother passed away.

The body was moved from the ear room to the main room full of God's Lord cards.

Soon the mourning hall was set up.

Except for Su Qing and Gu Hefeng who had to wear hemp and filial piety in front of the coffin, other senior clansmen wore white hats or tied white silk around their arms.

And the younger ones like Su Wan wore red silk.

"Honey, is Wanwan's color right?" Wen Lan was taken aback, "Why don't you ask your aunt?"

Su Wu shook his head, "I don't understand either. It's just that it was ordered by the clan elders, and we will follow suit."

Coincidentally, Shi Duanmin ran over from the next yard.

She also wore white silk around her arms.

"Fifth brother and sister-in-law, Master and the others knew that you would have questions, so they asked me to tell you. They said that Wan Wan belonged to the great-grandson generation, and she was indeed wearing a red silk or a red hat. There was nothing wrong with that."

Su Wu heaved a sigh of relief, "Wan Wan, unless Dad asks you to take it off, you are not allowed to take off the ribbon on your arm, do you understand?"

The little girl didn't know why, but she wasn't surprised either.

She raised her hands, revealing the whistle and the long-life lock tied to her wrists, "Like the whistle and the lock?"

"Yes." Su Wu nodded.

Although he is the patriarch, his seniority is too low, and the funeral has to be arranged by the senior clan elders.He just stood by and watched.

Now that the great grandmother had left a message, several gray-haired clan elders discussed for a while, and after consulting Su Qing, they finally decided to follow the wishes of the great grandmother and not deal with the funeral.

They ordered the juniors to open the gate of the ancestral hall, and removed the high threshold, and hung a white flower on the plaque of "Nursing Heart Valley" above the courtyard gate.

Concentrating and stopping, Uncle Jiu and the others didn't beat gongs or drums, but just read scriptures for a day and a night.

Early in the morning on the third day, except for those clansmen who were too old, too young, and those who were inconvenient, the others headed eastward in the morning light.Together, they sent the coffin of the great grandmother to the ancestral grave and buried it beside Su Qing's grandfather.
