I really don't want to be a teacher

Uncle Lian greeted Lian Ge and the two with a smile, and then walked outside the high-speed rail station.

Lian Ge nodded, didn't say anything more, and walked out of the high-speed rail station with Gu Xiaoying.

Know in advance that Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying are coming back.

Uncle Lian and Grand Uncle still came to the high-speed rail station to pick them up.

……

Uncle Lian's car was parked in a cool place outside the high-speed rail station.

The great-uncle who came to pick up Lian Ge and the other, did not just sit in the car,

Instead, he stood beside the car with a cane, looking towards the side of the high-speed rail station from time to time.

"...Old man, didn't I tell you to sit in the car and wait for a while."

Second Uncle Lian walked faster and came up to Grand Uncle Tai,

"Sitting for a long time, I can't sit still, come out and have a look."

Grand Uncle just shook his head, then turned his head, looking at Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying who came over,

"Great Uncle."

"Great uncle."

Lian Ge called out, and Gu Xiaoying followed suit to say hello.

"Eh, good, good..."

Great Uncle listened, and responded with a smile,

With some smiles, he turned his head and looked at Lian Ge,

"came back?"

"came back."

Lian Ge replied again.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."

Grand Uncle nodded, responded with a smile, turned around a little more, and greeted,

"...Okay, let's get in the car. Go home first, and we'll talk when we get home."

……

Got into the car.

Uncle Lian was driving the car, and Uncle Tai was sitting in the co-pilot,

Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying sat in the back row.

Carrying a few people, the car gradually drove out of the urban area,

Following the somewhat winding winding mountain road, it is approaching Lianjia Village.

"... A few days ago, the Zhongyuan Festival just passed. There was another big sacrifice last year, and this year the village didn't do much. It's just that every household, if they are willing to worship, they burned some paper and lit a few sticks of incense. wax……"

Along the way, Grand Uncle also talked with Lian Ge,

Most of the time, it was Grand Uncle who talked about the changes in the village. Lian Ge listened and echoed from time to time.

"...During the Zhongyuan Festival when we patrolled the mountain, we followed it, and nothing happened in the village..."

"...Xiao Ge, are you ready to travel?"

"I've seen some things, met some people, and I've been out for a walk."

all the way,

In some voices,

With a few people in the car, it gradually drove through a section of road,

The scene along the way became more and more familiar, gradually approaching Lianjia Village.

……

"Chirp..."

"sough……"

The car drove into Lianjia Village and stopped in front of Taishugong's yard.

Lian Ge got out of the car one after another with Gu Xiaoying, Grand Uncle, and Second Uncle Lian.

It was already evening, and the setting sun in the west was still shining some afterglow,

Gusts of breeze blew through the distant mountains and forests, and the birds returning home either flew by from time to time, or hid under the branches and leaves of the trees, singing some.

Households in the village along the road, some have already had dinner, some are still busy,

Some dim lights reflected from the eaves of the houses, the roads in the village, and the people under the lights,

On the road, people passed by from time to time, and some people saw Lian Ge, stopped and said hello,

"...Hey, Xiaoge is back... Let's go eat in the house, the meal has just been prepared..."

"...Thank you third uncle, I won't do it."

"... That's fine. You just came back, and you probably still have a lot of things to do... When you are free, come to the house for dinner..."

Another person passing by on the road looked at Lian Ge, said hello, and then walked away.

Turning his gaze around, Lian Ge stood by the side of the road, looked into the village,

You can hear the barking of chickens, ducks and dogs, as well as the voices of people inside and outside the house,

I can still hear that the people who passed by here mentioned the matter of Lian Ge's return to the people they met on the way to their home.

This is Lianjia Village.

……

"...Xiaoge, you just came back from outside today, it's not convenient to cook at home now, so let's go over after dinner at home."

Next to him, Grand Uncle said something to Lian Ge again,

Lian Ge listened, turned his gaze, and looked at Grand Uncle,

Turning his gaze a little further, he glanced at Gu Xiaoying,

Gu Xiaoying, who was standing next to Lian Ge, didn't speak, but looked at Lian Ge, waiting for Lian Ge's answer.

"This time I won't eat in the grand-uncle's house."

Lian Ge shook his head, then turned his gaze to the other side of the village entrance,

"I want to go see the old man first."

Listening to the first half of Lian Ge's sentence, Grand Uncle wanted to persuade him again,

Listening to the second half of Lian Ge's words, he stopped talking again, just nodded, then raised his head, and looked in the direction Lian Ge was looking at.

Chapter 1044 sacrifice

"...Well, do you need paper money for incense sticks? There are still some in the house. I'll get them for you..."

"no need."

Grand Uncle nodded, looked at the entrance of the village in another direction, asked again, and was about to turn around and enter the yard.

Lian Ge just shook his head and said something out loud.

Grand Uncle stood still, nodded, and didn't say anything else.

Beside, Gu Xiaoying was still carrying big and small bags in his hand. After looking back at Lian Ge, he handed some tea and wine in his hand to Grand Uncle and Second Uncle Lian,

"...Great Uncle, Second Uncle, when you came, my parents asked you to bring some wine and tea. I don't know if Grand Uncle, Second Uncle like it."

"...Hey, why are you bringing things here again? You haven't finished drinking the wine you brought over last time, Xiaoying."

Listening to Gu Xiaoying's words, looking at the things Gu Xiaoying handed over, Grand Uncle smiled again, and responded with a smile,

"...I like it, how can I not like it."

"...Grand Uncle, as long as you like it, you can drink it, and when you finish drinking it, just tell me, and I will bring it to you."

Gu Xiaoying spoke aloud again, and handed over some more things,

"...Your great uncle is reluctant to drink it often. The wine and tea you brought over last time, Xiaoying, are better hidden by the old man than anything else. I didn't let me drink some secretly."

Second Uncle Lian smiled, helped to take the things over, and said with a smile,

"...The things that Xiaoying brought over are all good things. You can't drink it, and if it gets into your stomach, it's just a cow chewing on peonies, and it's a waste of things."

Uncle Tai got angry and said something to Uncle Lian.

Next to him, Gu Xiaoying just smiled and listened, without responding.

Lian Ge smiled slightly, just watching.

"Then Grand Uncle, Xiaoying and I will go there first."

After waiting for Gu Xiaoying to pass the things over, Grand Uncle and Second Uncle Lian had finished talking, and then Lian Ge spoke again.

"Okay. It's good to go and see Lao Lian. Xiaoge, you haven't come back for so long."

Hearing Lian Ge's words, the great uncle restrained his expression, answered aloud, and paused again,

"...Xiao Ge, after you have visited your grandfather, if you come back early, you should come to the house for dinner. I will ask your second uncle to save some food for you."

Grand Uncle said something again.

The smile on Lian Ge's face has faded a bit, he just nodded,

Turning her gaze a little further, she looked at Gu Xiaoying, and Gu Xiaoying moved closer to Lian Ge's side,

Turning around, Lian Ge led Gu Xiaoying towards the entrance of the village in another direction. Gu Xiaoying leaned against Lian Ge's side and followed Lian Ge.

Behind them, the great uncle and grandpa looked around again, then turned around and went back to the yard.

……

At the foot is the field ridge first, and then a path next to the foot of the mountain,

There are no weeds on the path, and there are some traces of simple trimming.

Walking along this winding path,

Lian Ge looked into the distance, moved his feet, and said nothing.

Gu Xiaoying looked at Lian Ge's appearance, but didn't say a word, just walked forward with Lian Ge.

Looking around, it became more and more quiet.

It seems that only the rustling of branches and leaves can be heard as the wind blows through the mountains and forests.

The path is not very long,

Lian Ge just walked forward normally, and it didn't take long before he reached the end of the path.

……

walked the path,

It is the grave bag of the old man.

Lian Ge took Gu Xiaoying to the old man's grave and stopped.

The weeds on the four sides of the grave were cleaned up very cleanly.

In front of the grave, there are piles of burnt paper money ashes, and some burnt joss sticks standing upright,

The incense candle was burned, and under the wooden stick left behind, there was still some wax oil that dripped and dried again.

Just, after spring and autumn wind and rain.

The soil covering the grave seems to be no different from the surrounding area.

"Father, I'm back."
