On the day of Qingming Festival, it still didn't rain, but the sky was overcast, with thin dark clouds floating in the sky, as if a light rain would fall at any time.
Duo Mei had prepared things early, and she planned to visit the graves of her parents.
She is getting married this year, and she needs to tell her parents about this. Although the yin and yang are separated, visiting the graves of our ancestors during the Qingming Festival is a kind of psychological sustenance.
It is as if things in the underworld can also be known in the underworld on the day of Qingming.
A piece of cooked pork belly, a plate of rice crackers, some paper money, incense candles, and wine are all necessary for visiting the grave.
Gao Mingcheng held a machete in his hand and said to Duomei: "Let's go."
Visiting a grave is not just about going to the grave to worship. You also need to weed and add soil to the grave. Because few people usually go to the grave, there are many weeds and trees on the road. If there is no road, you have to cut down some trees with a machete. , clear a way.
The two closed the courtyard door and walked towards the mountain where the cemetery is located.
The ancestors of most people in Gaojia Village are buried in Xiaoyuan Mountain, but many beautiful parents are not buried there.
Perhaps because of their mixed surnames, her parents were buried in another mountain. They had to cross a field, then climb up the mountain road, and only reached the cemetery when they were halfway up the mountain.
This place is inaccessible, and few people from the village come here. Only when there is really no firewood will they come here to cut firewood. Therefore, there are many miscellaneous trees along the way, almost covering the road.
Gao Mingcheng walked in front with a machete, and he cut off all the small trees, branches and weeds blocking the road, and then threw them aside.
Duo Mei walked behind carrying a bamboo basket. Although it didn't rain, it had rained before, so the ground was still a little slippery. You need to be extra careful when walking on the mountain road.
After walking for about twenty minutes, we arrived at the cemetery.
On the hillside, there are two small earthbags. There are no monuments in front of the small earthbags. This is because they are too poor and have no money to erect monuments.
For a small bag like this, few people would know who is buried under the ground unless they are relatives.
There are overgrown weeds here. If no one goes to the grave to offer sacrifices, in a few years, the small soil bag will slowly be covered by weeds and shrubs, and the true appearance underneath will no longer be visible.
The two of them were not in a hurry to go to the grave to offer sacrifices. Instead, they cleaned up the graveyard first, removing the grass from the small soil bag and adding some soil to strengthen the grave.
After doing this, many beauties were already sweating.
She arranged the sacrifices one by one, then took out the matches and lit the paper money and incense candles.
Gao Mingcheng also joined her to worship her father-in-law and mother-in-law underground. Although they had known each other when they were children, at that time, he had no idea that he would marry their daughter.
The main sacrifice was for many beauties. She started talking to her parents underground and talked about her current situation. She also said that Gao Mingcheng was very good to her and that she was living a good life now, so that her parents could rest assured.
Then she said that her second sister was finally pregnant and her parents had a successor, so that her parents could rest assured.
After the eldest sister and the third sister got married, they basically never came back to visit their parents' graves. The second sister is pregnant this year, and I don't know if she will come, but a lot of beauty has come, so I talked about the current situation of the eldest sister and the third sister. Okay Let both parents know.
After visiting the tomb to offer sacrifices, you must be responsible for extinguishing the fire completely. Although there is a lot of humidity in the mountains, if a mountain fire is triggered, it will cause serious trouble.
Many beauties stamped out the sparkling paper money with their feet, and put the meat, rice crackers and wine back into the bamboo baskets.
"Let's go." Duo Mei said, with an imperceptible ease in her tone.
The two of them took their things down the mountain, and instead of going home, they went to Xiaoyuan Mountain.
Gao Mingcheng's grandfather is buried in Xiaoyuan Mountain. This year he separated and started a family, so he had to go to his grandfather's grave in the first year.
When they arrived, Grandpa Gao Mingcheng's grave already showed signs of being worshipped. Apparently his parents and younger siblings had already visited.
But this is something everyone can discuss. As long as they are willing, after the families are divided, each brother can worship separately.
Coming down from Xiaoyuan Mountain, I happened to meet my grandma walking in the village.
Gao Mingcheng stopped and looked at his grandma.
His relationship with his grandma is not deep, not as deep as his relationship with Grandma Xi.
In his impression, when he was very young, his grandma was still young, but at that time she had to go to the fields to earn work points, take care of the housework, and help his mother take care of the children. She was very busy and tired.
It's just that not much of these busy and tiring things fall on myself.
"Grandma." Gao Mingcheng and Duo Mei both shouted.
Grandma Gao is actually a very good person and has a very open-minded personality. If not for this, she would not have allowed someone of Luo Xiaohua's background to enter the house.
"Hey, you just came back from visiting your grandfather's grave?" Grandma Gao said with a smile, looking towards the direction of Xiao Yuan Mountain, where her husband was buried.
"Yes, it's going to rain. The ground is slippery. Grandma, please walk slowly." Gao Mingcheng said in a very serious tone.
His grandma had a strong body and was free from illness and disaster in her later years. But next winter, she accidentally fell and broke her hip bone. After that, her vitality was severely damaged. Within half a month, she died from the pain. .
Most elderly people have osteoporosis and calcium deficiency. This is the time when you are most afraid of falling. Once you fall, something big will happen.
Gao Mingcheng said a few more words to his grandma, and then watched his grandma walk home. She had a strong body, so her steps were steady and there was no sign of falling.
"Go back." Gao Mingcheng said, going back with Duomei, but he was thinking about something in his mind. Next year, he plans to let his father pave the section of the road leading to the toilet from the old house. Cement hardens.
Because in the last life, his grandma stepped on the slippery ground and fell hard while going to the toilet.
When he returned home and saw the yard that had not been hardened with cement, Gao Mingcheng decided to buy some cement and river sand after planting the rice seedlings.
The technical difficulty of laying a cement floor is relatively low, and he can do it himself.
After the Qingming Festival, just a few days before planting rice, a strange man came to Gaojia Village. He rode an old bicycle. After entering the village, he went straight to Gao Feifei's home.
Neighbors who lived next to Gao Feifei immediately recognized who the man was.
Therefore, the news that the husband who beat Gao Feifei until she had a miscarriage came to Gao Feifei's house to apologize and pick her up soon spread in the village, so the good people in the village gathered around Gao Feifei's house and waited. First-hand gossip.
There is no entertainment in the village, so this matter can become a topic of conversation among the gossips in the village. As for how long they will talk about it, it depends on when the next big gossip will appear.
Gao Mingcheng, who was working in the fields, immediately learned about this from the villagers.
He frowned and looked in the direction of the old village.
Soon, he had an idea in his mind. He put the hoe in his yard and walked towards the old village.
Along the way, he called out to several close friends of the same age.
Gao Mingcheng is actually very popular. Many people in the village have received help from him, and he never takes credit.
Now Gao Mingcheng shouted, and his followers gathered.
The group of people walked under the Cheng'en house number at the head of the village. Gao Mingcheng pointed at the Cheng'en house number and said loudly: "We in Gaojia Village have a great origin, and our ancestors were officials! Now the people in our village are being treated by other people." People in the village were beaten until they had miscarriages, this matter cannot be tolerated!"
"Otherwise, if other people know about it, they will think that we men in Gaojia Village are heartless and let us women in Gaojia Village be bullied!"
"Gao Feifei is our elementary school classmate. We all know what kind of person she is. This time she suffered a big loss and we have to seek justice for her."
As soon as Gao Mingcheng finished speaking, someone immediately asked him what he was going to do.
Everyone was filled with indignation.
There are no secrets in the countryside. The day Gao Feifei returned to her parents' home, everyone knew the reason why she returned to her parents' home, and everyone discussed and sympathized with her in private.
But no one had thought about standing up for Gao Feifei. After all, if Gao Feifei really wanted to stand up for her, it should be her brothers, brothers, and cousins.
Although everyone has the surname Gao, not every household is related.
But now Gao Mingcheng came forward, summoned all the young people in the village, and threatened to support Gao Feifei. After someone took the lead, the rest of the people didn't think it was a big deal, and they all muttered that they wanted to look good to that man.
Amid the outrage, a group of people broke into Gao Feifei's home.
Gao Feifei's husband had already presented gifts and money, and then vowed in front of Gao Feifei's parents that he would never hit Gao Feifei again.
He came this time to apologize to Gao Feifei, and also to take Gao Feifei home.
Divorce is not a big deal in rural areas, and most divorced women have no way out, so if some women really can't survive, they commit suicide by drinking pesticides.
It was originally difficult for Gao Feifei to return to her parents' home. Her house was not big, and she had an older brother and younger brother. There was no room for her as a married woman.
But Gao Feifei was beaten by her husband until she had a miscarriage, and this husband was chosen by her parents, and most of the gift money fell into the hands of her parents.
So she settled down at home.
But life will never be very comfortable.
Now Gao Feifei's husband has come to pick her up, and he has given enough face to apologize. Gao Feifei's parents are actually no longer angry, and they are eager to pick up Gao Feifei as soon as possible.
Gao Feifei sat aside, her face dimmed.
She has a clear understanding of her situation.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so emotional when she first came home, or even said something about hating her mother. Because if she didn't do this, maybe her parents could send her back to her in-laws' house the next day.
But I still have to go back after all.
Thinking of this, Gao Feifei's face turned pale.
At this time, a group of young people rushed in, led by Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng pointed at Gao Feifei's husband and said, "We women in Gaojia Village have never been beaten before. You kid, this is setting a precedent!"
"We are all elementary school classmates of Gao Feifei, and we all share the same roots. Hitting Gao Feifei would be a slap in the face of our entire Gaojia Village!"
"Boy, I don't care what you do privately. I only have one thing to tell you. We women in Gaojia Village cannot be beaten! If you dare to fight next time, don't blame us for rushing to your house and beating you up. pause!"
After saying that, Gao Mingcheng showed the man how to break an arm-thick wooden stick with his bare hands!
With a click, the stick broke in half.
