Yang Ruoqing nodded slightly. She didn't know whether it was the heat of the water that hit her eyes, or something, but the corners of her eyes were a little moist.
But she won't be seen by Ga Gong, she is embarrassed. I was afraid that Ga Gong would say that she was not a crybaby when she was a child, so why did she become a crybaby as an adult?
After washing Lao Sun's feet and getting on the bed, Yang Ruoqing took out the new quilt sent by Sun Kui's family and covered Lao Sun's head.
Outside the mountains, on such an early summer night, you only need to cover yourself with a thin quilt.
But in the mountains, the temperature is still a bit low at night, so you must cover yourself with a thicker quilt.
The Sun Kui family sent two dry new quilts, so Yang Ruoqing did not need to use the Sun family's quilts that had not seen the light of day for a long time.
Two new beddings, one for each of the grandfather and grandson.
Old Sun slept on the big bed, and Yang Ruoqing slept on the simple bunk next to the bed.
Before going to bed, Yang Ruoqing asked Lao Suntou to tell her many stories about the mountains.
Interesting stories about Jiang Niang and my aunt when they were young, stories about Jiang Gong and Ga Po when they were young, and anecdotes passed down from generation to generation by the villagers in the mountains...
Listening and listening, Yang Ruoqing fell asleep without knowing it.
That night, in her sleep, she seemed to have traveled back to the time when Ga Gong and Ga Po were young. Ga Gong's family was in Sunjiagou, and Ga Po's natal family was in a deeper mountain nest several hills away from Sunjiagou.
When he was young, Ga Gong went to Ga Po's village to help others extract tung oil, and saw Ga Po.
My aunt's facial features, including her figure, all took after Grandma Ga, and my mother-in-law's temperament and personality also took after Grandma Ga.
It is conceivable that when young Ga Gong saw Ga Po for the first time, he would be deeply attracted by a flower in her village.
According to the rules of the local village, Ga Gong went to the cliff opposite Ga Po's stilted building on a full moon night and tasted the songs for her for seven nights...
At the annual bonfire gatherings held in several large villages in the mountains, Ga Gong competed with others and became the top one that year, successfully winning the heart of Ga Po.
Ga Po followed Ga Gong to Sunjiagou, gave birth to two daughters for him, and took care of the housework.
They supported each other in the days of poverty, and this companionship lasted a lifetime, until time and disease took the other half away from them...
That night, Yang Ruoqing traveled through time and returned to the young years of Ga Gong and Ga Po.
She transformed into a little fangirl and personally cheered for her young, tall and handsome Mr. Ga, shouting "Come on."
I also saw with my own eyes the grace of Grandma Ga when she was young. She is well-deserved as a village beauty!
At dawn, there are dozens of houses in Sunjiagou, and the crow of roosters can be heard from every house.
In the morning, Lao Suntou and Yang Ruoqing did not go to Sun Kui's house for breakfast as they had agreed last night. They took out the dry food they brought and dealt with it casually for a few bites before preparing to go into the mountains to burn incense in front of Ga Po's grave.
As a result, Sun Kui and his son came over. In addition, Sun Kui's two in-laws from the village also came together.
Yang Ruoqing guessed that the Sun Kui family must have held a family meeting behind closed doors after their grandfather and grandson left last night to raise rice fish.
The result of the meeting was that given that Sun Kui’s family’s terraced fields were limited, the thousands of kilograms of rice flower fish might be a bit unbearable, so they called two in-laws to come over and work together!
You know, the unit price offered by Yang Ruoqing and Sun Kui last night for this rice flower fish was ten cents per catty.
If you want one thousand catties of fish, that's ten taels of silver.
As for Sun Kui, who has a thousand pounds of fish, he needs to call someone to do it together, and the two in-laws are definitely the first choice.
In this way, even if Sun Kui's family makes a big profit and gets five or six taels of silver, the two in-laws can each get three taels of silver.
For these mountain people, they take care of crops all year round, or cut firewood, hunt, etc. and take them to the mountains for takeout. After all the costs are taken out, the living money in their hands is no more than one or two silver.
As for this rice flower fish, it was just released into the paddy field during rice transplanting. It didn't even need to be fed.
If you are diligent, go block the streams in the mountains. The fish fry are free, a gift from nature.
At the end of the year, the income of these three rice flower fish families is higher than the income from crops throughout the year.
So the three families probably didn't get a good rest last night. Look, all of them have red bloodshot eyes and dark circles under their eyes. However, the three families are all in good spirits, as if they had been given chicken blood.
They learned that Lao Suntou and Yang Ruoqing were going to burn incense for Mrs. Sun today, and the three families also rushed over, and they were all empty-handed.
Papyrus, incense candles, and offerings are all available.
"We, the grandson and grandson, can just go there by ourselves. In this busy farming season, there is no excuse for delaying your time!" Lao Suntou was frightened by the battle again and hurriedly declined.
However, Sun Kui and the others were extremely determined.
In the end, Lao Suntou couldn't bear it anymore and had to agree to let them go together.
Perhaps it was also on the way here yesterday that the half-true and half-false absurd dream made Lao Suntou feel a little guilty. There were so many people, so he didn't panic, get confused, or be afraid of any weird things that happened to him.
In this way, a crowd of people gathered around Old Sun Tou and marched into the mountain to burn incense at Old Mrs. Sun's gravesite.
Mrs. Sun's grave is in the woods behind the village.
Among the large and small tombs nearby, Mrs. Sun's tomb is the most conspicuous.
When they were buried, the tomb was built as a double tomb in response to Lao Suntou's strong request, and an open space of about ten square meters was spread out in front of it with bluestone slabs for worship.
In addition, there is a tombstone on Mrs. Sun's grave, which is clearly visible at a glance.
It's a pity that there are no cameras in this era, otherwise, I would definitely have to post a photo of Ga Po that I was most satisfied with during her lifetime for future generations to remember.
When everyone arrived in front of the grave, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and solemn.
Old Suntou stopped talking and laughing. The old man looked at his wife's grave in front of him, looking lonely and lonely.
The back that was still strong before suddenly felt as if something heavy had been placed on it, and it was all bent.
He was stumbling on his feet, so Yang Ruoqing took the initiative to step forward and support him.
This is the case for some people. No matter how long they have been away, no matter how diluted it is by other things in daily life, as long as the memory is triggered by the things left by the other party, then those things that have been forgotten by time will become vivid again!
"Old lady, old lady, let me see you!"
Old Sun staggered on his head and feet, murmuring softly, staring at the grave in front of him, his eyes soaked with tears...
Yang Ruoqing supported Ga Gong and walked step by step towards Ga Po's grave. The past scenes flashed through her mind like movie clips. At this moment, everything about Ga Po's voice and smile became clear!
When she arrived at the grave, Yang Ruoqing let go of Lao Suntou's arm, squatted down, and placed the offerings horizontally in front of Ga Po's grave.
