Being Reborn And Starting Off By Not Being A Simp
Chapter 435: country folks
Chapter 435
In this village, there are some relatives of Liu Qing.
But those relatives have not moved for more than ten years.
The reason is still a poor word.
When Liu Qing's father was in a car accident, some relatives came to visit.
But after several months of treatment, those relatives avoided it, for fear that their family would ask for a loan.
During that time, Liu Qing really tasted the warmth and warmth of human feelings.
The house in his hometown was used by a relative to pay off his debts, and he became a person without a home in his hometown.
Later, I gradually understood that it is not easy for everyone to live, and there is really not so much love for others. He will also hesitate to let him encounter such a thing himself.
It's just that, after understanding, that family love is gone after all.
When ordinary people return to their hometown from afar to visit the grave, they will first visit relatives, bring a little door-to-door ceremony, and then have a meal there, and some will stay for one night.
But every time Liu Qing came back, he came in a hurry, hurried away, and never settled.
—even if he wanted to settle down, he didn’t have a place to settle down.
Be sure to mention a foothold, this roadside shop can be talked about.
The sacrifices used for going to the grave are bought from this shop, and sometimes they also buy some snacks to eat on the way back.
The vehicle stopped and Liu Qing got out of the car.
There is a pergola in front of the shop, and there are two tables. There are two tables where people are playing mahjong, and some people are watching.
There were a dozen idlers there, none of whom wore masks.
They were all from the village, but when they saw Liu Qing, they didn't recognize him at a glance.
There is a big gap between the current Liu Qing and the Liu Qing who went to the grave during the Qingming Festival in previous years. The gap is roughly equivalent to the gap between Zhen Huan and Niu Hulu Zhen Huan.
so that they didn't recognize it for a while.
After getting out of the car, Liu Qing habitually raised his left wrist and glanced at the Rolex 116769TBR Gypsophila GMT-Master II Platinum Original Diamond Automatic Men's Watch. put it down.
—It’s boring, people here don’t recognize it as a watch worth millions of dollars. In their eyes, this watch is probably no different from a watch worth tens of dollars, and there is no spark to show off.
If you want to show off your wealth in front of these people, a famous watch is boring, a diamond the size of a pigeon egg is boring, and a finger-thick gold chain without fading is serious.
On his birthday, Su Qi gave him a zodiac gold medal, but the gold chain was too thin, so he was too embarrassed to pull it out.
But coming by car is cool enough.
Approached the pergola and said hello to the shop owner:
"Boss Liu, get me something."
When he said this, he had already used the local dialect.
For more than ten years, that is, when he came back from Qingming, he would speak dialect, and at other times he would speak Mandarin.
It still feels a little awkward.
When did not speak, no one recognized him.
This opening, the boss recognized it - after all, people used to come here to buy things every year during the Qingming Festival.
was taken aback: "Liu Qing, it's you! Have you come back to the grave?"
Liu Qing nodded and said, "Is this not clear? Of course I have to come back to my father's grave."
Boss Liu said, the eyes of those who played mahjong towards Liu Qing became different:
"This is Liu Qing?"
"I haven't seen you in a few years, so you've become so handsome?"
"I'm still driving here, isn't it developed?"
"Isn't this car rented?"
The voices of their discussions were not small, even Liu Qing heard them, but none of them heard them.
In the past, every time he came back, he would hear that kind of talk. These elderly idlers like to talk about the right and wrong of others.
Some people come here to play mahjong or watch others play mahjong, not for mahjong, but to listen to other people's right and wrong.
Liu Qing used to annoy them, because they were stubborn, gossiping, and were particularly annoying.
Now I feel that this society still needs these people.
—Without these people, where would one’s wealth be placed?
In the online world, you have to pay for the navy to create public opinion.
And these rambunctious idlers spread the news with their own entanglements.
Boss Liu also ignored the noise and asked with a smile:
"Liu Liu, come here with such a nice car, are you making a fortune?"
Liu Qing snorted: "What kind of money do you make? Do a little business and make a little money."
"How much money did you make?" Someone asked him.
Liu Qing is not good at telling this number, and no one will believe it, but it seems too fake.
If anyone really believed it, it was a little more dangerous.
can only say: "Not much, enough is enough."
"Is this car yours?" Someone else asked.
"The car is mine," Liu Qing said, and pointed to Ye Mo who got out of the car, "This is my driver."
said this, and there was a sound of breathing cold air.
Then someone asked: "Have you got a family now?"
At this time, Su Qi's BMW also stopped, and both Su Qi and her beautiful secretary Li Han got out of the car.
Liu Qing pointed at Su Qi and introduced them: "This is my girlfriend, and that is her secretary."
There was another screeching noise.
It doesn’t matter if you have a girlfriend. Many of these idle people here have married their children.
But this fiancée is so beautiful, drives such a beautiful car, and is accompanied by a beautiful secretary,
That would make a big difference.
Everyone who has a secretary is a boss, and it will not be a too small boss.
The one who has a beautiful secretary is a big boss.
In addition to their surprise, they also had some realizations - it seems that this Liu Qing did not rely on his own ability to obtain wealth, but climbed a high branch and found a rich family daughter.
This explains it.
While some people are envious, there are others with contempt:
"What's amazing, isn't it just being a door-to-door son-in-law?"
However, you can only think about it, and dare not say it face to face.
For the rich, they still have some sense of fear.
Liu Qing did not introduce these people to Su Qi. He felt that it was not necessary for these passerby characters to introduce their names, and some of them did forget their names.
Su Qi can't speak her native dialect, but she can understand it. She smiled and nodded to those people: "Hello, I'm Liu Qing's girlfriend. Today is the first time I'm here."
This is also an endorsement for Liu Qing's introduction.
Boss Liu glanced at Liu Qing enviously and said, "Xiao Liu, you are not bad, you have married such a beautiful daughter-in-law."
Liu Qing smiled and said, "It's alright, it doesn't really matter whether she is pretty or not. I don't care about that, mainly because she has a good personality."
walked into the store and asked casually, "Why are there no firecrackers?"
Boss Liu said:
"Firecrackers are not allowed to be set off on the mountain, and we are not allowed to sell them. You can't bring firecrackers up the mountain even if you buy them yourself. These days, people in the village are watching, and anyone who sets off firecrackers on a grave will be fined 500 yuan."
Speaking of this, he was a little bit resentful.
This county prohibits firecrackers a lot. They can’t sell firecrackers in these shops, whether it’s a wedding or a New Year’s holiday, which makes their stores lose a lot of income.
Across a river is another county in another city, but there can’t help but firecrackers. When the Chinese New Year comes, the fireworks salute light up half the sky, and the people here can only be jealous.
Liu Qing snorted and said nothing more.
Firecrackers are not allowed to go up the mountain, which he thinks is also a good thing.
In his impression, there used to be mountain fires caused by firecrackers on Qingming Festival every year, and sometimes a large forest was burned down.
A complete ban would be nice too.
You can't set off firecrackers, so you don't have to buy this.
I bought some paper money and incense candles - this is actually not allowed to be brought up the mountain in principle, and it may also cause a fire.
However, this thing does not cause as much noise as firecrackers. It is secretly lit on the mountain, and no one else knows it.
Although the village will send special people to watch these before and after the Qingming Festival, it is impossible to go to the mountain to see everyone who sweeps the tombs.
These things are not expensive, less than ten dollars.
bought another Lingqi, a few apples, and a bag of cookies.
His grandparents had died before his father had a car accident. He used to go to the graves of his grandparents with his father and those uncles, but after his father died, he only went to his father's grave.
His grandparents have his uncles and uncles going to their graves, so he doesn't need him to join in the fun.
His father's grave, he was the only one who came to it.
This has been the case for more than ten years.
Su Qi watched him buy those things, and he didn't have a lot of money, but it looked like more than twenty dollars in total.
The offerings to the graves at Qingming Festival here are just the same, and those who have no money don’t even have offerings.
Some even offer tobacco and alcohol, but Liu Qing's father doesn't smoke or drink, so there is no need to offer such offerings.
After buying these twenty-odd dollars, Liu Qing borrowed a **** and a sickle from Boss Liu, and asked Su Qi to help him carry those sacrifices.
The fork road goes a little further, and there is a path leading to the mountain.
Ye Mo and Li Han didn't follow, Liu Qing told them to wait at the door of the shop.
There is no custom of letting outsiders participate in the Qingming Festival.
Su Qi is Liu Qing's fiancee, of course she can participate.
There is no need for the two of them.
Let them stay there and watch the two cars parked there so they don't get scratched by the urchins.
The fork road goes around the mountain, which is also a cement road, and there are families on the side of the road.
Now the rural construction is quite good, and the cement pavement has been extended to every household.
It’s just that some homes have closed doors, overgrown with weeds, and no one lives there anymore.
After passing a few houses, there was a small road that climbed up the mountain, and Liu Qing took Su Qi to that small road.
This path is not a cement road, but there are many people going up the mountain, and the road that has been stepped on is not so easy to walk.
Fortunately, Su Qi did not wear high-heeled shoes, so there is no problem walking this kind of mountain road.
This mountain is not high, that is, it looks like more than 100 meters. From the path of more than 10 meters, there are tombs on both sides.
There are many more people buried on this mountain than those who live under it.
Some have already repaired tombs, some have not, just erected tombstones in front of the tombs, and some are just a mound without even a tombstone.
The weeds around most of the tombs have been cleaned up, and it can be seen that they have been cleaned up recently, and there are spirit flags planted on the tombs.
There are also a few tombs that are covered with grass and shrubs, making them extremely desolate.
The breeze blew, and the colorful paper flowers and white strips on the spirit flag danced with the wind, like dancing undead.
This spirit flag has another name, it is called the soul-calling banner.
Walking in between, although it was sunny weather, Su Qi had a gloomy feeling, as if she had entered a kingdom of the dead with Liu Qing now.
There was a chill behind , and he followed Liu Qing unconsciously, grabbed the corner of his clothes with one hand, and said, "Liu Qing, this place is a bit scary."
Liu Qing smiled: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Aren't you afraid when you came to the grave alone before?" Su Qi asked.
Although she has received modern higher education, the environment seems too infiltrating, and she is really afraid to let her come alone.
She didn't quite understand that Liu Qing used to come to the grave alone, so why wasn't she afraid.
—Is this person really not afraid of ghosts?
"Then what's there to be afraid of?" Liu Qing said, "I'm a local, and the ghosts here are also local ghosts, folks in the big hometown, they don't need to hurt me."
said, paused, then smiled again:
"Besides, my dad is here too, he will protect me."
He said it with a smile, but in Su Qi's ears, he could hear sourness and nostalgia.
suddenly thought that the man beside him lost his father and the only relative in the world when he was a teenager.
For more than ten years after that, no one could give him the warmth of his home, and no one could give him shelter.
In his heart, it must be quite bitter, right?
Perhaps only once a year can I go back to my hometown and miss the warmth of my father's grave.
Liu Qing’s words reminded her of a copy she saw on the Internet:
"When I was a child, I was afraid of graves because I thought there were ghosts in them. Since there were relatives lying there, I realized that the ghosts I was afraid of when I was a child were people that others would never see again."
When inserted the spirit banner, perhaps, he really wanted to attract his father's soul.
He may not be afraid of ghosts, he just believes that there is his father here, and his father will protect him.
Thinking of these, there is a feeling of distress - towards Liu Qing.
Liu Qing took Su Qi along the path for more than 200 meters, and when they reached the mountainside, there was a path.
Then he followed the path to the right for a few dozen meters, walked into the tombs, and walked towards a barren tomb.
The tomb was overgrown with weeds and shrubs, in stark contrast to the tombs that were cleaned up next to it.
There was no tombstone erected in front of the tomb, but Liu Qing knew that it was his father's tomb.
Thanks for the reward
