Daughter-in-law, go home

14.

The first grave was not high, and it arrived soon. The young man picked up a hoe and weeded the grass. Because he only worshiped his ancestors once a year, the grave was covered with grass.

Lu Jianyu and Lu Junwu were also picking up the hoe to shovel the grass. Before coming, Lu Jianyu had told Mo Xiao not to act recklessly, because he had never held a hoe before and would easily hurt himself. Mo Xiao obediently stood aside .He saw that although there were no married women here, there were still quite a few unmarried girls, and some older boys, all standing aside watching and chatting.

Mo Xiao stood beside him, and there was a child running around. A little girl, in her teens, followed behind him. The child was only three years old, and probably hadn't been able to run for long.The child ran over and bumped into Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao looked down at him, and he raised his head and grinned at Mo Xiao. His eyes were big and his round face was red. He was very cute and very painful. Mo Xiao She also smiled at him, and wanted to reach out and pinch his cheek.

The little girl chased after him and grabbed the child, who then hid behind Mo Xiao, laughing and running.

The little girl put her hips on her hips and asked him to come out: "Lu Ziwei, come out quickly."

Mo Xiao held the child, afraid that he would fall, and said to the little girl, "It's okay, let him play."

"Big brother, I'm sorry." The little girl said shyly.

"Don't fall," Mo Xiao turned to the child and said.The mountain roads here are quite slippery. "This is your brother?"

"Yeah, very naughty."

The child stuck out his head behind Mo Xiao and made a face at his sister, and the little girl ran up to drag him out again.

The two ran around Mo Xiao.Mo Xiao kept tugging on the child's clothes, fearing that he would fall.

Lu Jianyu came over with a hoe and shoveled a haystack to make a grave mound, and shoveled a cone-shaped one.Seeing the two children running around Mo Xiao, she went to pinch Lu Ziwei's little cheek and screamed at him, the little girl immediately ran over to save her brother, and slapped Lu Jianyu's hand away

"Don't bully my brother," the little girl said righteously.

Mo Xiao looked so envious, why didn't he dare to do it, his little face looked so pinched.

Lu Jianyu said to the little girl, "Go, burn paper money."

They have already weeded the grass, and now they start to light candles, burn incense, and burn paper money.

"Let go first," the little girl said to Lu Jianyu, and Lu Jianyu let go.The little girl took her younger brother to find his father.When the child left, he rubbed dirt on Mo Xiao's pants.

Lu Jianyu told him while shoveling the soil: "I will light firecrackers later, the last one to go, you and the third child go up first."

"I'll wait for you."

"Alright. Help me carry the box."

"I'll go over and burn paper money." Mo Xiao was about to move.

"Go."

When Mo Xiao walked over, there were some children who were burning. The little girl was there too. As soon as Mo Xiao squatted over, the little girl enthusiastically taught him how to do it.A boy played tricks, and when he blew into the fire, a lot of paper ashes rose up and blew onto the faces of Mo Xiao and the little girl.The two pushed the ashes away with their hands, the boy smiled triumphantly, the little girl touched the ground, and then directly touched the boy's face.Touched his face with dirt.It looks dirty.

The boy jumped up with a "wow" and ran away, with the little girl chasing after him.

It is said to be running, but it is just walking faster, because this is halfway up the mountain, so you have to be careful when walking.Therefore, the two children were quickly scolded by their parents and they were not allowed to make trouble anymore.The two stood side by side obediently.

Mo Xiao looked at them amusedly, and after burning the paper money, he stood aside and asked others to pour wine and offer sacrifices.When it was over, everyone lined up to worship, and the adults took the children with them, and told them how to worship the mountain.

Lu Jianyu pulled him over and bowed three times.Don't kneel down, just stand up and pray.Mo Xiao had a strange feeling, did he recognize his ancestors?I paid homage to Lu Jianyu's ancestors and became the Lu family?

Mo Xiao stayed behind to help Lu Jianyu light the firecrackers, and the others climbed up first, and there was a grave on it.

Mo Xiao stood on the path, watching Lu Jianyu take out a bunch of firecrackers, light them up and then run towards this side.Then the two climbed up, Mo Xiao slipped and almost fell, Lu Jianyu carried the box over, and had to take care of his wife not to fall.

"Who were those two children just now?" Mo Xiao slowly climbed up while pulling the grass, turning back to give Lu Jianyu a hand from time to time.

"Uncle's, last time they went out to play, so you didn't see it." Lu Jianyu slowly climbed up bit by bit, he was still holding a box. The slope here is a bit steep, and no one walks it all year round. Still a little hard to walk.

"Really, that child is very cute, and he is not afraid of life at all."

"Do you like it? I'll take you to his house to play more. The child is wild, and there are many children in the village to play with him. You can run anywhere."

"Okay, but I'd like it better if you could have one."

"I'll find one for you in the crevice of the rock."

"It's Monkey King who jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, you want me to be Monkey King's father,"

"Wukong's father, be careful, don't fall."

"You take care of yourself first."

"Don't worry, I've been climbing this mountain for so many years, and I haven't fallen yet, but someone did fall yesterday. When I went down the mountain, it almost rolled down, so I don't need to climb."

"No, is that person hurt?"

"That's not true, it's a bit damaged."

"That's all right. Is it that hard to climb up there?"

"In some places it's straight up and down."

When the two of them arrived, the young people started working. Mo Xiao saw Lu Junwu climbing up the tree and was startled. Lu Jianyu was very calm and said, "Don't worry, he has done too much of this."

"But, this is a mountain. If you fall, you will just roll down. It's so high, what's he going to do?" Mo Xiao still couldn't believe it.

"Tear off those branches that get in the way, you can't tear them off below, don't worry, it's okay."

Lu Junwu took the sickle on his waist and cut some branches, and the little girl clapped her hands underneath; "Third brother is so powerful,"

Lu Ziwei also clapped his hands; "Awesome!"

Mo Xiao was helpless.These people have such broad minds, so there should be no problem.

After worshiping this, there is only the last mountain left, and we have to drive over it.

After all the prayers, they drove home. As soon as they got home, Lu Jianyu and Lu Junwu ran to the uncle's house to share the roast pig.Mo Xiao was very tired, so he sat on the stone bench by the wall, leaning against the wall to rest. He really liked sitting in the yard, looking at the flowers and trees, and his heart was very peaceful.The old man would often sit and chat with some old men under the carambola tree for an entire afternoon, drinking tea. Sometimes, Lu Jianyu's mother or second aunt would prepare some snacks for them.They are all old people from nearby, who come to drop by.The door of Lu Jianyu's house is not closed during the day.Many people will come to sit and chat.Adults chat with adults, children play with children.

Lin Xiujuan was pulling the onions and the grass in the garlic, just in front of Mo Xiao, and when she saw them coming back, she said, "Xiao Xiao, you're back."

Mo Xiao smiled; "Yes."

Lin Xiujuan looked around and asked him, "Where are the two brothers?"

"Uncle's gone."
