Chapter 340 Qingming (1)
[Thanks to xu16, needless to say, 1 or two of you support the monthly ticket!]
The Qingming Festival tomb sweeping in Banshan Village was held before the Qingming Festival. "《"/》/《"/I have passed away in the past three years and the tomb sweeping time was earlier, and my daughter usually came to visit the tomb. The Turtle King also belonged to the first three years, but it was only like the riverside, so the tomb sweeping had to be by the riverside.
But not long ago, there was a rumor in the village that the biological parents of the riverside had already been found, and they were rich and noble families in big cities. Therefore, most of the villagers believed that the riverside would not necessarily return to the Banshan Village in the future, nor would they recognize the adoptive father of the Turtle King.
The Turtle King and his family don’t believe that the riverside will recognize Turtle King, a somewhat cowardly adoptive father, will never come to the mountain village again. Some people have even begun to covet the houses that the riverside has only been renovated in winter.
However, Jiang Fengshi and Jiang Laosi thought that the riverside would definitely come back. The riverside was a person who valued friendship. Although he had no good reputation in the village before, he was also very loyal to those who were friendly to him. Like Laosi lost his cow when he lost his cow, the riverside was the most powerful in the middle of the mountain village.
"No one should have an idea about the house by the river. He designated to come back one day. Even if he is rich and powerful, he will not forget his original intention. Otherwise, he would not need to renovate the house and buy a house directly in Qiantang to settle down. It is much better than this jingling-poor Banshan Village." Jiang Laosi said to those who had the idea of making house by the river.
"The fourth brother, what do you say? I just talk casually. You said that he has accepted his relatives again and has made money. It is very easy to buy a house in the city. He will be a city man from now on. I can't live in this house for a year. I see that no one lives in his house, and the house has been weathered." The one who caught the riverside was also the Turtle King's family, named Jiang Shishan, and they are brothers from Jiangside, but they are cousins, a little far apart. The riverside called him Brother Ninth.
Jiang Shishan's words sound very reasonable. The humidity in the countryside is high and the oxygen is abundant. Once the house is no longer inhabited, the weathering speed is very fast. If there is no one living in a few months, there will be a strong musty smell inside. The paint of doors and windows has also begun to rot.
"Lao Jiu, you said it nicely.
But you can fool me, Jiang Laosi? If you really want to live in, then when the riverside comes back, your family will be willing to move out? It is easy to invite gods, but it is difficult to send gods! I still understand this principle. Your fourth brother. So, don’t make any decisions. As for when the house is weathered, you don’t have to worry about it. Your fourth sister-in-law and me will go over to clean it a day or two, and we have already made waterproof the ground. When we come back that day, we will live in a new house." Jiang Laosi said.
"The fourth brother, you and the fifth brother are so comfortable to flatter them. You said that when they are well-developed, they will give you some wealth? The riverside will definitely not live in Banshan Village in the future. No matter how rich you are, you two will not get any share. You said that one of you guards the house for him and the other carves a stone for his father to die. Is it okay?" Jiang Laojiu said angrily. He had already told Jiang Laosi several times and wanted to move to the house by the river to live. But every time he was pushed away by Jiang Laosi.
"Lao Jiu, do you dare to say this outside? Let everyone in Banshan Village come and listen to it. How powerful is your country and rocks. If you don't build a house, you just want to pick up ready-made ones. See if there is such a reason in the world? Besides, what kind of friendship do you have with the riverside? Even if the riverside cannot live in Banshan Village, this house will have your share? What did you say when Jiang Bei died when he went to your house to borrow money?" Jiang Laosi also became popular and walked to his yard and said loudly, saying that he wanted to let all the old and young men in the Jiang family group hear it.
That year, the Turtle King died. The riverside used up all the money from his family, but there was still a lot of money. Everyone in the village who had some relatives had collected some money, but the country stones were not borrowed. He even said viciously. "The way to bury rich people and rich people, and the way to bury people and poor people. It is to bury a underground palace, and to dig a cave to buy it. I lend money to the riverside, where can I ask him for money?"
This sentence was yelled by Jiang Laojiu standing in his yard, and all the young and old in the Jiang family could hear it clearly.
"Shishan, you should also have some shame. You do such shameless things, and I feel disgusted when I see them!" The neighbor's neighbor shouted loudly when he heard the movement.
Although Jiang Shishan was thick-skinned and blushed with shame, he did not forget to say a scene when he left, "I left the words here. If the riverside moved his household registration in the future, he would not be from the Banshan Village, and the foundation should not belong to him. The land on this side of his house would be replaced by mine. Now the land does not belong to him, so I have to take the land back."
"You damn Jiang Shishan, all the good people in the world have died, and Jiang Bae such a good person has also died. Why didn't you damn die?" Jiang Laosi picked up a shoulder pole in the yard and chased Jiang Shishan.
When Jiang Shishan saw that Jiang Laosi was so arrogant, he quickly ran away. This time, he didn't even dare to say a word about the scene.
"The fourth brother, kill that goddamn. Even if the riverside recognizes his ancestors, this house is still from the riverside. No one can make any decisions." Jiang Fengshi walked over from the entrance of the village and walked very fast along the way. His white shirt was soaked and stuck to his body.
"Lao Wu, has the monument of the third uncle been completed?" Jiang Lao Si asked.
"It's done. I've just got off the dock. I'll come back and ask a few people to come and carry it." Jiang Fengshi said.
"You have to ask a few more people and just carry them to the mountains. When you come back by the river, you will find a Feng Shui master to erect the monument." Jiang Laosi said.
"I thought so too. But you have heard of that. Jiangbian's biological parents did come to find him. Now I don't know the specific result. There is no news from Jiangbian. I don't know if he will come back. If he doesn't come back, it will be a bit difficult." Jiang Fengshi walked into Jiang Laosi's yard and lowered his voice and said.
Neither of them can be sure whether the riverside will come back or whether he will recognize the adoptive father of the Turtle King.
"I'm worried too. You see, someone began to think about the houses by the river. The new tombs had already started, and I didn't even see the riverside coming back, so I didn't even have a phone call. But we still did our best to get it done. We called a few of our families and sent the stone tablet directly to the mountain. If the riverside was sure that we wouldn't come back, our nephews would erect the monument." Jiang Laosi said.
"Well, don't rush for now. Wait, I think the riverside is not that kind of person. You must know that if the villagers said a word about uncle, the riverside would be able to fight him to the death." Jiang Fengshi said.
"Okay. Let's go, ask someone to go, and carry the stone tablet to the mountains first." Jiang Laosi said.
The Jiang family’s ancestral tomb is on the hillside, and it is said that the feng shui there is good. There are some considerations for entering the ancestral tomb in rural areas. Those who die young cannot enter the ancestral tomb, those who commit suicide cannot enter the ancestral tomb, and those who commit crimes cannot enter the ancestral tomb. Naturally, outsiders cannot enter the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family.
The turtle king was bitten to death by a poisonous snake. When entering the ancestral tomb, some people talked about gossip, saying that the turtle king died suddenly, and according to the ancestral system, they could not enter the ancestral tomb. Feng Shui master looked at the cemetery, but some people obstructed it.
That night, the riverside carried a kitchen knife and ran to the man's house, pointed the knife at the man's head and said, "If you dare to fart half a moment, believe it or not, I will let your whole family die, and none of them will be able to enter the ancestral grave."
The situation was calm now, and the village didn't dare to care about such things. If the riverside subdued the Jiang family, there would naturally be no more resistance.
It is not easy to carry a stone tablet up the mountain. On the side of the mountain is the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family. The Jiang family built a road, but it is just walking. Now young people go out to work. No one takes this road to the mountain to make trouble, and the road is naturally full of shrubs. Every year during Qingming Festival, if you want to go up the mountain, you have to hold a handle in your hand and chop the hatchet. Walk all the way and cut it all the way out. If you want to carry the stone tablet up, you have to send two people to cut the shrubs in front to clear the road.
He took several thousand yuan by the river and asked Jiang Fengshi to prepare various items for the Qingming Festival and other expenses. In other aspects, it would not cost much. Jiang Fengshi spent a high price to prepare a good monument for Uncle San. The tall and large amount of Jiang Family's grave mountain was not as good as that. In addition, he had to buy some cement red bricks to build the tomb firmly. However, it could be surrounded by the grave. The grave must be mounds covered with turf.
The stone tablet is very heavy, weighing nearly one ton, and it takes eight strong laborers to lift it.
Jiang Fengshi and Jiang Laosi walked around in Banshan Village, and only then did they call a dozen laborers.
"Lao Wu, your mother, you're really doing things. Why do you think you're doing such a big stone tablet? You may not come back by the river! Just build an ordinary stone tablet. If you make such a big one, won't you kill us?" One of the men who called to carry the stone tablet said with a bitter face.
"Get your strength to carry it! I won't treat you badly. I have left enough money to buy these items by the riverside. The wages I should pay will not be less. I have to do things for others in a half-tidy way. Think about it, if you die in the future, ask me to buy a coffin and I will give you the whole cardboard box. What will you think?" Jiang Fengshi smiled.
"Lao Wu, your wife is strict, don't worry, you will definitely die in front of me. If you ask me to do things in the future, you will definitely do it as solid as it is now." The man retorted.
When I returned to Banshan Village alone by the river, the Banshan Village was even more jubilant than when the Great Leap Forward was happening.
I came back from a boat by the river. When I arrived at the entrance of the village in Banshan Village, I was discovered by the little brat in the village who was playing fishing by the river.
The boy from Jiang Fengshi's family ran the most, and he was playing the tweeter while running, "The Turtle King is back! The Turtle King is back!"
The villagers ran out in surprise and watched the boy walking out of the half-mountain village with one foot and stepping into wealth.
"He is back from the riverside. Look, he is dressed like on TV now. That clothes are very expensive.
"It's different to wear expensive clothes. Look at the riverside wearing this outfit, it looks like a city man."
"Like a city man, you say this lightly. How many people in the city man are doing so well by the river?"
"That's right, now they recognize their parents, and now they are rich and powerful."
"I used to say that this kid is rich and noble. You see, when he was a child, he peed differently than other kids."
“What’s the difference?”
"This kid stood on the dirt pit behind my house, and flew directly to the big ping in front of my house as soon as he urinated."
Even the riverside wondered when I had done such a monster thing?
