Chapter 195 Ancestor worship and real family(1/2)
Although the wound was small, after returning home, Yang's mother washed Hua Xiaoqian's hands first, then disinfected her wounds with the alcohol cotton balls she had prepared at home, and then put a band-aid on it.
"Thank you grandma." Hua Xiaoqian looked at the pink bandaid on her hand and felt very novel.
"Okay, it's Xiaoyu and Xiaofeng's turn. Should you run around? After your younger brother and sister wash your hands, you will go out to play."
After Yang's mother gave instructing her, she invited Yang Xiaoyu and Yang Feng to go to the sink to wash her hands.
When Yang's mother was picked up, Yang Feng's hand was held by Yang's mother and rubbed it carefully in the tap water. She turned her head and asked Yang's mother curiously, "Grandma, when will we kill the chicken?"
"tomorrow."
"What are you doing today?"
"Grandma is ready to order food today. You can go to the old house to worship your ancestors with your parents."
Yang's mother helped Yang Feng wash his hands, put him down, and picked up Yang Xiaoyu again.
"What is ancestor worship?" Yang Xiaoyu continued curiously.
"It's just a grandfather who worships grandfather." Yang's mother helped her granddaughter wash her hands and touched her nose with a smile.
"Can Sister Hua go?"
Yang Feng glanced at Hua Xiaoqian who was looking at the decorations at home and asked Yang's mother.
"Yes, but at that time, Xiaofeng, you will be responsible for explaining to your wife and grandpa clearly what is going on."
Yang's eyes lingered between the two children for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.
"Thank you grandma!"
Yang Feng, who received his approval, ran to Hua Xiaoqian excitedly and told her the news.
This silly boy.
Seeing Yang Feng running to stick to Hua Xiaoqian again, Yang's mother didn't know what he was good about.
It’s really like a fucking sister who is not as good as a real sister.
Yang's mother lowered her head and patted Yang Xiaoyu's head.
"Xiaoyu, you should go out with your younger sister, too, but be careful."
"I know grandma."
Yang Xiaoyu nodded vigorously and ran to the two of them.
Half an hour later, Xu Yan saw that the three children were out to play, and was worried that they would not recognize the road in the village, so she greeted Yang's mother and followed her out.
Dad Yang watched TV for a while and couldn't stay idle. He wandered around at home and slipped into the kitchen.
When I saw her preparing for the things to worship her ancestors, I helped her.
"This year, go to the old house to worship ancestors?"
"Well, Yang Yang's grandparents are gone. In previous years, we have been going to worship. Let them go this year."
“Don’t we have to go?”
"It's enough for someone to go there, not to go to have dinner there. It's enough for you to get the meaning. We'll prepare dinner for them at home."
Yang's mother put the tofu she bought yesterday into Yang's hands.
Dad Yang didn't ask, and took the tofu naturally on the chopping board and started cutting it.
"Yang Yang and the others go by themselves, or take the children there?"
"Take the children with you, we can't always have old faces like us. We must also let your great-grandma meet the new members of the family, right?"
"That little Qian, this kid."
"Go together, too."
Hearing this, Yang's father paused, and Yang's mother turned to look at him in confusion:
"What's wrong? Xiao Qian is considered half of our granddaughter. You don't want her to go."
"No, I'm just wondering if grandparents and the others will misunderstand."
"What are you misunderstood? Treat Xiao Qian as Xiao Feng's child bride? What era is it? Your thoughts are still so feudal."
"Yes, just pretend I didn't say it."
After cutting the tofu and putting it on the plate handed over by Yang's mother, Yang's father nodded and put aside the thoughts in his head.
The sunset hangs in the sky.
Yang Yang stayed at home for a day. When he heard Yang's mother ask him to take his wife and children to the old house to worship his ancestors, he didn't think much about it. He just brought his things and asked Xu Yan to set off with his three children.
But compared to him, he hasn't taken a shower for two days, although he doesn't smell sweaty, it's not fragrant.
Xu Yan and her three children have been playing outside for more than a day. Before leaving, they took a shower. There was a smell of shower gel without getting close.
Walking on the narrow concrete road seen in the village house, not only was the smell of rosemary from my wife, but the faint smell of milk on their three children.
Suddenly, Yang Yang felt that he was not going to worship his ancestors, but took his wife and children to visit relatives and travel by the way.
To put it another way, going to worship ancestors is equivalent to visiting deceased elders, and it is also an alternative to visiting relatives.
"Honey, do you still remember?" Looking at the surrounding environment, Xu Yan couldn't help but miss her a little.
"What do you remember?"
"I'll walk with you this road, but you don't know."
In order to capture my husband's dark history, I secretly followed him to the old house. Unexpectedly, although I finally had my husband's dark history, I was confused and confused.
Although I was willing to fall into it after thinking about the past, in terms of the result, it can be said that it is completely contrary to her original intention.
"Actually I know."
"Ah? You knew it from the beginning?"
Xu Yan was stunned. If her husband knew about it, wouldn’t her original behavior be stupid?
"It's almost the same. When I found you in the wooden box, I guessed it." Yang Yang held something in his hand and looked up at the clouds dyed red by the sunset in the sky.
The red clouds in the sunset looked similar to the blush on his face when he saw his wife unconscious in a wooden box.
"That's what you guessed, it can't be counted on it." Xu Yan tried her best to argue, trying to save face.
Yang Feng, who was following the two, heard the conversation between their parents and couldn't help but raise his head and ask, "Dad, did you find your mother in the wooden box?"
Hearing Yang Feng's question, Hua Xiaoqian and Yang Xiaoyu, who were curiously looking around, also turned to them.
Yang Yang's mouth moved slightly, and he was about to joke with his son, but Xu Yan quickly covered his mouth with quick eyes and hands.
"That's the hide-and-seek that mom and dad had played before. Mom hid in the wooden box and was discovered by your dad."
"Then did mom marry dad?"
"Well, mom has no choice. Your father has caught him. You can't marry him." Xu Yan looked very embarrassed at the time.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Yang Feng lowered his head and fell into thinking.
Hua Xiaoqian's focus is completely different. "Godmom, you and your godfather play hide-and-seek in the old house. Does it mean that the old house is big and there are many places where people can hide?"
"That's right, but you all finished taking a shower today, so where can you play."
"No, my godmother lets us play. At worst, I will help my younger brother and sister take another shower after I go back."
Yang Yang finally understood the reason why Hua Lei dared not let Hua Xiaoqian follow him.
In fact, in addition to Xiao Qian's previous willfulness, she also likes to act coquettishly for people close to her, which is very effective for people with a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted heart.
And his wife has the same personality.
"Okay, stop shaking." Xu Yan lost her temper by Xiao Qian, thinking about preparing her clothes for Yang Feng and Yang Xiaoyu.
Considering that I had to stay in my hometown until the first lunar month, in addition to preparing two sets of changing clothes from the inside to the outside, I also prepared a new set of clothes.
It’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow. I’ll take a shower for the children when I go back in the evening, change into pajamas, and it’s nothing to wear new clothes tomorrow.
"As long as you don't leave the old house, I don't care about you."
"No problem, godmother, you're the best."
Hua Xiaoqian grabbed Xu Yan's hand, jumped up and kissed her on the face.
...
Because Yang Yang and the others were holding the things they wanted to worship in their hands, they didn't walk fast.
When I arrived in front of the old house, the sky was already gray.
Leave the things to my wife for help, Yang Yang opened the door of the old house and tried the light switch inside.
It should be that Yang's mother and father came to repair it while they were free, and all the light switches were still available, which made Yang Yang feel much more at ease.
As long as the light is lit again, the children will be at least safer to play inside.
"You can go in." Yang Yang took the thing back from Xu Yan's hand, turned his head and told the three children again: "You can wait a while, you can play next to you, but don't run around, say hello to your grandmother-in-law."
"Yeah, I understand."
