The beloved wife of the reborn scholar

Chapter 31

There are many rains in the Qingming season, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.

This is the scene of Du Fu's Ching Ming Festival in the Tang Dynasty.Zhuo Xuan and the others have a custom here, that is, tomb-sweeping ancestor worship is done before the Qingming Festival.The weekend happened to be a monthly leave, Saturdays and Sundays were off, both Zhuo’s mother and Zhuo’s father were unable to go, and it was just about to take the senior high school entrance examination. Let the ancestors bless her to be admitted to a good school.As a representative of the family, Zhuo Xuan went to her hometown to worship the ancestors with her grandfather.

Zhuoxuan's hometown takes about an hour by car, and there are relatively few cars, so she can only go there by car and walk home.Even in Beijing, if you take a small road to go home, you have to walk for about an hour.

A few people gathered at grandpa's house first, grandma will not go this year, grandpa will lead the team.Grandma is a second wife of grandpa, who is 20 years younger than grandpa.She gave birth to an old son for her grandfather, who was only three years older than Zhuo Xuan. She is in the third year of high school this year and her grades are said to be very good. I don't know if it is true.He was pampered and spoiled by his grandfather since he was a child, and he couldn't bear a little bit of hardship. He worshiped his ancestors in Qingming and walked home.

This year, there are grandpa, uncle, aunt, cousin, sister-in-law and Zhuo Xuan who went to worship the ancestors.The cousin is only one year older than Zhuo Xuan, and she is in the second grade of junior high school this year.The incense candles, money and candles were ready two days ago, and my uncle was carrying a basket on his back for the week ahead.

The great man went to the bus station to wait for the bus, got up early in the morning, and there was still one seat vacant, and the others had to stand while being given to grandpa.Now the traffic police don't know how to check the overload situation, the driver just picks up one when he sees it, going up and down along the way, Zhuo Xuan is squeezed in the corner.Grandpa squeezed half of the seat for his cousin. As for Zhuo Xuan, I'm sorry, the elder sister has to give way to the younger sister.Zhuo Xuan is used to this kind of treatment, and she wanted to earn some money in the past, but every time grandpa would use the excuse that you are older than her, and say that he is a fool.

After bumping for an hour, I finally got to the place and got out of the car. Zhuo Xuan's feet were numb, and she almost fell when walking. "Just standing there for a short while, I can't take it anymore, and I don't know how your mother brought you up, you look spoiled. You see, Linlin is still the same as you, she will be fine when she gets off the car, but you are different." Grandpa looked at Zhuo Xuan and said.

According to her previous personality, Zhuo Xuan would definitely retaliate. After seeing a lot in her previous life, her heart became cold. Zhuo Xuan didn't care at all, kicked her legs, and walked ahead when her feet got better.

The sister-in-law at the back was a little bit aggrieved about Zhuo Xuan's matter; "Dad, Xuanxuan came standing up. You asked her to sit down halfway through Linlin. It was me, and my legs were a little numb. Don't say that about Xuanxuan, it's you Don't like Sisao Si, he is also your granddaughter."

Grandpa moved his mouth and said something; "I just said she was spoiled and spoiled, nothing else."

What I want to go to is the ancestral grave by the river, where it has been cleaned up, someone should come first, and there is no need to clean it up. I burned some valuables to buy a cannon, and I called it a day and went to other places.

The last thing I went to was my grandfather. That place was a mountain, where most of the people in the village were buried, on the road on the mountain.Some of the sarcophagi were exposed because the tower was lowered from the ground.In the past, it was practiced that the couple was buried together, and the two coffins were exposed together, and there were no descendants to take care of them.

When I arrived at my grandfather's place, it was marked as a big tree before, but it was cut down by someone but the firewood was burned. I searched a lot but couldn't find a correct location.I couldn’t find it several times in a row, my aunt pointed to it once, and she was very uncertain that it was here. Grandpa asked a few times, but my aunt was not sure. The angry grandpa scolded people, and said that he would come next year. Especially the one with a good memory, or he couldn't even find a place to worship his ancestors.Of course, the good memory is the grandma who didn't come this year.

In the end, I had no choice but to find an open space and burn the paper money.

After finishing all this, it was already past one noon, and the adults didn't say anything about going to dinner, so they just carried it home.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Zhuo Xuan returned home. Fortunately, on the way, she ran into an acquaintance of her aunt's, who was driving a funeral car to pull the dead person.This meeting is not taboo anymore, as long as you don't walk, you can talk about anything.In the car, grandpa took some biscuits from the back basket. My sister-in-law couldn't stand it anymore and kicked grandpa's foot. Grandpa looked up and found Zhuo Xuan looking at him, and ate the remaining biscuits in two or three bites .

When I got home, only Zhuo's mother was at home, and Zhuo's father hadn't come back yet.Zhuo's mother reheated the cold dishes and rice for noon, and Zhuo Xuan ate two full bowls, which showed that she was really hungry.After dinner, Zhuo Xuan went back to the hut to sleep.

At dinner time, it was Zhuo's mother who came to the room and called Zhuo Xuan up.At the dinner table, Zhuo Xuan recounted all the things grandpa did today, speaking as if she was a bystander, without any emotion.

After eating, Zhuo Xuan went back to her room to read.As soon as he left, Zhuo's mother's smiling face immediately sank. She put the bowl on the table, dropped the chopsticks, and got up to go to the bedroom. The bedroom door was still slammed with a bang.

Zhuo Xuan, who was reading a book, heard the voice, but she just pursed her mouth and didn't come out, continuing to read her book.
