Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 1935

Man Bao and his wife did not wait until Xia Yi came back and installed all three beds. Man Bao looked at it and decided to go back to the city.

Before leaving, Qian took man Bao aside, took out three strings of money and put them in her hand. He gave her a wink and said, "take it. It's a gift for your sisters to meet your brothers and sisters."

I wanted to talk about the meeting ceremony for my cousin, but I changed my mouth when I thought she didn't seem to like Xia Yi very much.

Man Bao's eyes brightened. It was the first time for her to be a sister by age.

She reached out and took it. Instead of giving it in public, she pulled the three aside and gave it quietly. She also whispered, "don't tell your parents. Keep it yourself. This is my gift to you."

Xia Dalang didn't want to take it. He pushed it back. When he saw his brother and sister dragging the money string and pulling it out to give it back to her, man Bao pushed it and said, "I'm already an official with a salary. Alas, our two families are the closest, the same ancestor. In this way, I'm far away. I don't have to come back several times a year. When you go to the grave and see my grandparents' graves, remember to clear the grass for them... "

Man Bao remembered the most important thing and stamped his foot in frustration: "Oh, I forgot to go to the grave for grandpa and grandma Taizu."

Then he turned and ran.

Xia Dalang did not have time to stop, holding three strings of money to see her run away.

Old Zhou tou, who was waiting outside, kept saying: "... She was asked to give it in public. How could she give it quietly?"

This was also beyond Qian's expectation, but she still pulled Lao Zhou's head tightly and scolded in a low voice: "be quiet. If you give it quietly, you will give it quietly. Now you go in and shout it out, and the good intention will become bad."

Old Zhou tou said, "you shouldn't give so much, 300 Wen."

Qian's heart said: How did she know that man Bao was so sincere and gave it quietly?

She was willing to take out so much money just to let her give it in public and Bo another good one in front of Xia.

Old Zhou tou continued to say, "I knew it would be enough to give me ten Wen."

Qian disliked his quarrel and said, "shut up."

Lao Zhou's voice was lower, but he couldn't help muttering.

Qian unconsciously thought, and he didn't know whether he was old or whether he lived too well. Recently, he has been nagging more and more.

Man Bao ran out of the house and hurriedly said, "Dad, mom, we forgot to visit my grandparents."

Lao Zhou tou and Qian Shi:

Qian couldn't help but turn around and say to Lao Zhou, "what do you remember every day? Can you forget such things?"

Old Zhou tou: "it's my fault, too?"

When man Bao and his family hurried back to the patriarch's house, Mr. Zhuang, who had a good talk with the patriarch, smiled and said, "are you finished?"

Man Bao opened his mouth and was about to speak. Mr. Zhuang pointed to the chicken, fish and meat on the table and said, "the sacrifices are ready for you. Do you want to start to sweep your ancestors?"

Man Bao was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears. He took Mr. Zhuang's hand and said, "Sir, you're still reliable."

Mr. Zhuang patted her on the head, smiled and scolded, "naughty, pack the basket quickly. I have agreed with clan leader Xia. He also prepared hoes and sickles for you. Your cousins are waiting for you."

Man Bao looked left and right and asked suspiciously, "where's the chief Xia?"

Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "the Xia clan leader drank too much tea and his stomach was a little uncomfortable. He went to have a rest."

Xia clan leader and Mr. Zhuang had been drinking tea here for a long time. They didn't ask about Zhou man. Instead, they were given a lot of sacrifices. When they thought of what the Zhou family was doing at Xia Yi's house, they couldn't help drinking more tea. Then they bloated their stomach. They felt a little uncomfortable and went back to the house to have a rest.

When man Bao saw that the son and grandson of clan leader Xia were waiting for them, he didn't ask. He loaded the sacrifice and went out. Bai Shan and Bai Erlang helped take the sickle, while Zhou Dalang and Wu Erlang carried the hoe.

The tomb of my great grandparents is not far away. It's on the mountain beside the village. It's just a short walk.

But when they got to the place, even the son of clan leader Xia who had come to see them in advance, looked for a while before they found them.

The sight is full of barren grass, and there is a big tree beside the grave, which completely covers the grave.

Don't say you can't see it from a distance. You can't see it from a close view. It's a grave.

Xia's son was embarrassed and said to Zhou man, "your parents haven't returned for many years, so no one will sweep, but occasionally uncle Xia will come back to sweep."

It's just that the last sweep was several years ago.

Man Bao frowned, nodded and began to cut and shovel grass with the others.

In fact, she wanted to ask, does the family not sweep the tombs of widows and orphans every Qingming Festival?

In their Qili Village, each family has a pile of tombs to be swept together. The village has experienced several major disasters. Many families have died, and many are related to their families.

Other festivals are just fine. Qingming village organized young people to sweep those tombs. Anyway, the sacrificial dishes are the same, but it's just to walk a few more tombs. Finally, you don't eat them when you take them home?

Villagers in the village may get more protection if they walk more graves.

In man Bao's memory, she didn't know that the grave next to her grandparents belonged to her parents. The village even had a unified caliber. She didn't know who it belonged to. It seemed that it was a wild grave. That's how Zhou Dalang and his family shoveled the weeds off the grave every year when they went up the mountain, and they would worship it. She never felt wrong.

So she didn't quite understand why her great grandparents could not be sacrificed at the edge of the village. Apart from others, there must be many close relatives in the village.

Man Bao hummed in his heart. After clearing the weeds on the tomb and offering sacrifices, she went back. She didn't stay in Hongtian village more. She rode a horse and ran away with Bai Shanbai Erlang. When she got out of Hongtian village, she changed horses and got on the bus.

As a result, Xia Yi and his wife came back not far from the village. Man Bao still remembers the hatred that her great grandparents were not sacrificed. Others won't say it. Her great grandparents and Xia Yi's grandparents are brothers. He still occupies her house.

So half of his body leaned out of the window, waved to Xia Yi, and shouted, "Uncle Yitang, why did you come back? I've cleaned up your house."

Daji didn't stop, but slowed down. The carriage rumbled past Xia Yi and his wife. Man Bao clearly saw their round eyes for two moments, so he giggled and said, "we have reinstalled your bed, your cage, your tables and chairs. Many people in the family have helped. If you don't believe it, go back and have a look."

Xia Yi was so frightened that he thought what had happened to their family. He jumped with anger, "Xia man, that's my house. What have you done to my house?"

"Nothing, Yitang uncle. I love my brothers and sisters and you. I'll come back to see you next year. Bye."
