70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 417 Issue Five
"What happened to them?" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.

"When burning paper for the ancestor's grave in the afternoon at 30, those families went to the third grandma's grave first, and they all competed to burn paper for the third grandma." Li Zhenzhu said with her mouth curled.

"When people are gone, what's the use of burning paper!" Xie Xiaonian said coldly.

"Isn't it? If they hadn't suffered retribution before, they wouldn't be so filial. But this incident not only suppressed them, even the unfilial sons in the village have restrained a lot, and dare not treat their father Mother is too much. Some parents died, and they burned a lot of paper during the Chinese New Year, for fear that if their parents were angry, it would be retribution to themselves." Li Zhenzhu said gloatingly.

"Then it's a good thing, at least let those unfilial people have some constraints!" Xie Xiaonian continued indifferently.

"Yes, but it also gave some wicked mother-in-laws a reason to tease their daughter-in-law!" Li Zhenzhu sighed.

"Those who know how to grind their daughter-in-law, even if they don't have this matter, they will still have thousands of reasons to find fault, and they won't be a good mother-in-law!" Xu Zhongjun continued.

Although Xiao Nian didn't tell him the truth, but he can guess that it's pretty close, there must be Xiao Nian's handwriting in this matter.

"Zhongjun is right, forget it, don't discuss these things, let's have fun." Liu Yifan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, blame me, let's not talk about these during the Chinese New Year, let's talk about other things. Xiao Nian, how are you doing in the army? Is there anything interesting?"

Li Zhenzhu was afraid that Xie Xiaonian would think about the sad news of the third grandma's death again after the new year, so she quickly changed the topic.

"Except that the army does not have to work to earn work points, it is actually similar to ours. Every day is just a matter of food, rice, oil and salt. Sometimes I feel like I have nothing to do. But I have recently paid homage to a master, and I am learning embroidery. I have something to do to pass the boring time." Xie Xiaonian replied.

"Embroidery? This is good, this suits you." Li Zhenzhu said understandingly.

"Yeah, I've had great luck, and I've hired a very good embroiderer as my master." Xie Xiaonian said happily.

Then a group of people started chatting, Xiao Nian told Pearl about her life in the army, Pearl and Xiao Nian gossip about some things in the village, and they had a very happy meal.

"Do you have any relatives at your house tomorrow? If not, we will visit your relatives." Before Xie Xiaonian left, Li Zhenzhu asked.

"I don't have any relatives. The only relatives who come to my house are you and my uncle's family. As for my uncle's family, we discussed it in the second year of junior high school, and we will come to our house on the fifth day of junior high school. But you have such a big belly, you can't walk around." It's not convenient, so don't go to my house, after the baby is born, it's convenient, just go wherever you want."

Pearl has a big belly, Xie Xiaonian really doesn't want her to go back and forth to her home.

"It's okay, I'll ask Yifan to borrow a rack car from the team later, and let him take me there tomorrow, so that I won't be tired. Besides, our two villages are not far away, and we will be there in a while. I haven't gone out for a long time, just let me go." Li Zhenzhu said coquettishly like Xiao Nian.

"Okay, then you have to take care of your body. Also, the snow melting road is very muddy recently, and it's not easy to drive a shelf car. You have to be careful and walk slowly." Xie Xiaonian asked again worriedly road.

"I know, don't worry." Li Zhenzhu replied happily.

After Xie Xiaonian left, Li Zhenzhu hurriedly said to Liu Yifan: "Hurry up, let's prepare things for Xiaonian's house, and you can go to the team to borrow a shelf car later, and tomorrow we will go to Xiaonian's house to visit relatives. By the way, Don't forget to bring the lucky money I prepared for the three children yesterday."

Except for the first day of junior high school, when visiting relatives, they must give the lucky money to the children before noon, and it cannot be given out in the afternoon.

So even though Xie Xiaonian came to the house in the afternoon and had dinner at home, Zhu Zhen didn't take out the lucky money and distributed it to several children, planning to wait until tomorrow when he went to Xiaonian's house.

"Well, I see, you are tired too, go to sleep first, I promise to clean up properly." Liu Yifan replied.

"That's fine, then I'll go to sleep for a while, when I wake up I need to be checked." Pearl really felt a little tired, so she went back to sleep directly.

Here, Xiao Nian's family was walking home. Jianbing and Heping were very sleepy because they had walked too much and didn't take a nap.

The pancakes were not bad. After walking for a while, Xu Zhongjun hugged him for a while, and he could sleep for a while while hugging him, but it was not for peace. As he walked, his eyes were about to close unconsciously.

"Apple, hold on a little longer, you'll be home in a while, sleep after you get home!" Xie Xiaonian coaxed Heping patiently.

"Well, okay, Mom, I'm not sleepy." It's a pity that he said he was not sleepy, but his eyes were fighting up and down.

"Zhongjun, let's find a place to rest and let Panbing and Heping enter the space to sleep. It just so happens that the two of us also take a rest, otherwise, we really won't be able to get home." Xie Xiaonian whispered to Xu Zhongjun.

"Okay, then let's go up the mountain from here, find a quiet place and enter the space to rest for a while. If someone asks, just say it's convenient to take the child to the mountain." Seeing that Heping was so sleepy, Xu Zhongjun nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, they are backed by mountains, so they can find a sheltered place to enter the space.

There are so many directions to go in the mountains, even if someone sees them disappear after entering the mountain for a while, they will only think that they are going in other directions.

At this time, Xie Xiaonian was even more annoying to Xie's family, if it wasn't for such a natal family, the two children wouldn't even be able to take a nap at noon.

Fortunately, the time in the space is relatively long. Even if a few people slept well in the space, the sun had just set when they got home.

"Xiao Nian, isn't Pearl coming at noon tomorrow? Do you want to cook?" After dinner at night, Xu Zhongjun asked Xiao Nian.

"No, it's not too late for me to do it tomorrow morning. I'm tired today, so I'd better go to bed early."

Xie Xiaonian is very quick when cooking, after soaking what should be soaked, I don't care about it anymore, I just wait to entertain Pearl and the others tomorrow.

In the following time, Xie Xiaonian entertained Pearl on the fourth day and uncle's family on the fifth day, while Xu Zhongjun was busy visiting relatives.

Before he knew it, it was the eighth day of the first lunar month, and Xie Xiaonian's morning sickness had completely healed.

In order to make up for what he ate less before, Xu Zhongjun asked Xiao Nian to eat five or six meals a day, and he would eat in front of her when the time came, saying that he wanted to regain the meat that Xiao Nian lost earlier.

"If you let me eat like this again, I will become a little fat man." Xie Xiaonian said helplessly.

"It's okay, you're pregnant now, you definitely won't gain much weight, even if you get fat, it's okay, my wife is so beautiful, even if she is fat, she still looks good!" Xu Zhongjun said sweetly.

Although Xie Xiaonian was a little speechless, she also felt that she was very hungry, so she didn't refuse and started eating again.

"Zhongjun, can we find someone to secretly tie up a paper house or something, and burn it to the third grandma when she is in the fifth period?" Xie Xiaonian asked Xu Zhongjun before going to bed that night.

They say that on the 35th day after a person's death, that is, on the fifth Sunday, the ghost of the deceased will come to the world to collect the property burned by relatives.

Therefore, the younger generations will burn some old clothes, quilts, some houses made of paper and sorghum stalks, yards, cornucopias, money trees and other things for the deceased on this day, so that the deceased can have a house to live in, clothes to wear, and other things underground. There is money to spend.

But now against feudal superstition, some things made of paper are not allowed to be made or burned, but Xie Xiaonian still wants to make some for the third grandma to burn.

Although he knew it was fake, Xie Xiaonian still felt that he would rather believe it, and tried his best to do more things for the third grandma, so that the third grandma would not even have a place to live underground.

"You can find someone to do it. As long as you pay a lot of money, there are craftsmen who are willing to take the risk to make it. But how do you burn it? When those things are burned, there will be a lot of flames, which will definitely attract a lot of people's attention. "Xu Zhongjun said in difficulty.

"Why don't you burn it in the space? In the fifth issue, don't you want to burn paper for the third grandma? Then let Xiaobai burn the things in the space, which is equivalent to sending it to the third grandma. Do you think this will work?" ?" Xie Xiaonian said after thinking about it.

"This method works, but now that the year is not over, others may not be willing to do it. After the tenth day of the lunar new year, I will find someone to help me do it." Xu Zhongjun nodded and said.

"Okay, as long as you can do it, but when you go to find someone to do it, remember to disguise yourself so that no one will recognize you. When the time comes, I will ask Xiaobai to follow you and watch you around. Try to go at night, and put things in small bowls when there is no one else, so that you won't be afraid of bumping into people on the road, and remember that even if you don't want things, you must not be caught." Xie Xiaonian said worriedly.

"Well, I know, you can rest assured." Xu Zhongjun has been a soldier for so many years, and he still has this anti-reconnaissance ability.

After this matter was gone, Xie Xiaonian let go of a big rock in his heart.

Xu Zhongjun will return to the army on the 16th of the first lunar month, so when he went to find the person who made the paper house on the 14th day of the first lunar month, he gave him double the price and asked him to rush to work as soon as possible. Everything is done.

"Zhongjun, you must be careful and avoid people, you understand?"

At eight o'clock in the evening on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, when Xu Zhongjun was about to set off to pick up things from the neighboring village, Xie Xiaonian asked again worriedly.

"It's okay, don't worry, Xiaobai is following me, they should have sent the things to the agreed cave in advance, I just need to settle the money and go to the cave to get it, there is no danger! " Xu Zhongjun comforted.
