Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 390 Hometown
My sister looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao with a beaming smile, and said loudly, okay.Today is a big happy event in our family.Xiaoxiao, then let's go buy some more firecrackers and go to the graveyard to make a good sound.

The store is not far from the road ahead, so my sister can just walk there.Xiao Xiaoxiao took her arm and said with a smile, let's get in the car, it will be faster and more convenient to drive.

Just about to get in the car, when my sister saw such a high-end car, she stomped her feet on the ground vigorously, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said that there were mud on her walking shoes just now.How about I walk, you guys drive, I can run faster?
Xiao Xiaoxiao grabbed her sister's clothes and said, the car is for use, so there is no need to be so particular about it, let's get in the car together.

Unexpectedly, it was Wang Yiyuan's elementary school classmate who sold the firecrackers, but the two of them didn't recognize each other at first.When my sister introduced her later, both of them asked hesitantly almost at the same time, are you Wang Yiyuan——?Are you Lu Jianxiang——?

Both of them laughed out loud.Wang Yiyuan bought a lot of firecrackers, as well as money paper, joss sticks and other items for sacrifice.

The aunt asked, Xiao Wang, tomorrow is the official Ching Ming Festival, today you go to offer incense, is it okay?
Lu Jianxiang smiled and said, hehe, the custom here is that there is a saying of "first three and last four" when going to the grave to worship ancestors on Qingming Festival, that is to say, the first three days and the last four days of Qingming Festival are suitable for hanging up.

He asked again, you just said that you would go to offer incense today?
Wang Yiyuan nodded and said, yes.We just came back from other places, and we haven't had time to go home. We are going to visit our parents on the mountain?

Lu Jianxiang was taken aback, looked at Wang Yiyuan and said seriously, old classmate, you have not been at home for so many years, maybe you have forgotten the customs and habits of our hometown?
Wang Yiyuan asked, what do you mean?
Lu Jianxiang said that the best time to go to the grave on Qingming Festival should be on the day of Qingming Festival, before eight o'clock in the morning, and it is said that the effect is doubled.In ancient times, Mao time of the day was the best, that is, from five to seven o'clock in the morning.

He said that because "the sun rises at Mao", the ancient army had to "time Mao" every morning.It is generally not necessary to be so early now, and most of the work can be completed before twelve noon.But generally speaking, the Qingming grave visit must be completed before [-]:[-] p.m. at the latest.

Wang Yiyuan asked anxiously, is there still such a thing?

Lu Jianxiang said that because the sun is about to set in the evening, and the yang energy in the tomb is insufficient, there may be some unclean things appearing.When going to the grave at this time, it is easy to bring bad things home.

He said that the time to go to the grave should be chosen during the day when the yang energy is relatively strong, and should be avoided as much as possible before dawn or when the yin energy is heavy in the evening.Now the sky is starting to darken, so I can understand how you feel, old classmate, I advise you to go back tomorrow morning.

The aunt said, Xiao Wang, we still have to respect this custom.

Seeing that Wang Yiyuan was still a little hesitant, Lu Jianxiang said in particular, old classmates, I am doing this for your own good.As for whether you can listen to it, it's up to you, but I still don't recommend that you go to the grave now.

Xiao Xiaoxiao said, "Wang Yiyuan, let's go to our parents' graves tomorrow. Anyway, we will go to the grave tomorrow morning. It's not bad for this night. It's almost dark now."

Wang Yiyuan thought about it, and felt that what everyone said made sense, so he smiled and said, I'm really sorry, I almost did something bad with good intentions, so let's go home first.Thank you for your timely reminder, old classmate.

My sister said sorry, I really don't understand these rules.If Xiao Lu hadn't mentioned these things just now, we really didn't know about them.But it doesn't matter, even if it's preparing for tomorrow morning.

Wang Yiyuan wanted to go to see his parents' grave first, but was also stopped by his sister.She said, we'll all be there tomorrow morning anyway.Xiaoxiao was right, she didn't care about such a night.

She smiled and said, let's go home first, the sister-in-law and the others are still at home waiting for us to go back for dinner?
The car can't drive directly to the house, it can only drive to a slightly open place more than 50 meters away from home and stop.

The four carried their hands on their shoulders and took things from the trunk and walked home.

To the surprise of Xiao Xiaoxiao and Dagu, this place is not as backward and terrible as Wang Yiyuan said before.

This is a small village, surrounded by mountains and rivers. From the outside, the overall environment is not bad.However, there are relatively few people, and it seems that there are only seven or eight families nearby.Because it had just rained, it was a bit muddy, and the path was not so difficult to walk.

The house of Wang Yiyuan's hometown is a half-earth and half-brick structure, which looks a bit crude and old.In front of the house is a large paddy field, where rapeseed flowers are sporadically planted, and they are blooming vigorously at this time, which can be regarded as the breath and embellishment of spring.On the hillside behind the house, there is a lush orange orchard.

Sister-in-law Xiaotian was already waiting on the ground in front of the house with her child.Seeing them coming, he hurried up to say hello, and took all the luggage from Xiao Xiaoxiao and the others.

Although the area of ​​the room is not very large, it is cleaned very well and tidy up in an orderly manner, but it is also cozy.The children were still a little strange, and they just watched them and their party from a distance.

Wang Yiyuan hasn't been home for several years, and in fact he can't remember what this child looked like when he was a child.Of course, the same is true for children. From the time he can remember, he has no impression of his uncle at all. He only knows that his uncle works far away.

Xiao Xiaoxiao took out a pack of white rabbit toffee candy and a red envelope from the bag she was carrying, and said with a smile, come on, call me, and I will give you all these delicious and fun things.

His mother smiled and said, hurry up, call Auntie.

Xiao Xiaoxiao smiled and said, let's call her Auntie, so easy to pronounce?
The child called "Auntie" softly, and took the toffee Xiao Xiaoxiao gave him.But for the red envelope, he looked at his mother timidly, as if he wanted it but didn't dare to hesitate, showing it without a doubt.

Mom said again, hehe, you can take it, thank you aunt quickly.

After washing hands and faces, the family sat down to eat.I really bought a new iron pot and made a lot of dishes without chili.

My sister said, these are the mushrooms we bought back from the town, the eggs are home-grown eggs, as are the fried chicken and stewed chicken soup, all of which are raised at home.The grass carp is fresh, and it was caught fresh from the pond by someone in the afternoon.
