Gu Rin's farming life

Although the quality is unsatisfactory, after all, the paper has been made, Gu Lin decided to take it easy and go to the town. If you have a good time, you can stay in the town for one night.

His Majesty the cat must take it with him. Should Wen Yan take it?

Gu Lin stroked his chin and thought about it, Wen Yan didn't seem to go out to play much during this time, so take it with you, and it's decided like this.

However, His Majesty Mao and Wen Yan didn't seem to be there, so Gu Lin decided to go find them.

Just as he was about to go out, he ran into Mrs. Gu.

Seeing that Gu Lin was about to go out, Mrs. Gu stopped him, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to town."

"In the town?" Mrs. Gu glanced at the sky and disapproved, "It's getting late, and I won't be able to come back in time."

"Stay in the town for one night if you can't make it in time." Gu Lin said indifferently, it would be nice to stay in the town for one night.

"No." Mrs. Gu refused straight away, "Tomorrow is the winter solstice, and I have to pay respects to my ancestors and visit their graves."

winter solstice?

Gu Lin was taken aback, only to find that Mrs. Gu was holding a basket with raw tea fruit on it. In Gu Lin's hometown, tea fruit was a special food that was only made during sacrifices.

It turned out that it was already the winter solstice, and I was so busy before that I didn't even notice that it was already the winter solstice.

It's just that everyone knows that he is not the real Gu Lin, and ancestor worship and tomb sweeping should have nothing to do with him. It is not his ancestor, and he is not needed for ancestor worship and tomb sweeping.

"But I..." Gu Lin was a little embarrassed.

"What are you?" Mrs. Gu knew what Gu Lin meant, and sighed, "Anyway, you are considered to be part of the Gu family, and you have to show it to your ancestors."

This sounds a bit strange.

Gu Lin had black lines on his face, it sounded a bit like a new daughter-in-law was going to meet her ancestors.

Seeing that Gu Lin's expression was a little strange, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but put down the basket in her hand, and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiao Lin, Erlang is gone, and you can't go back, you can't be a rootless person, just be a The Gu family has another son."

"Auntie..." Gu Lin was very surprised that Mrs. Gu would say such words. After all, since he told the truth, Mrs. Gu was the one who reacted the most in the Gu family. If she didn't accept him, she wouldn't let him go, as if Erlang Gu would come back. have to.

"I admit, I really couldn't accept it before." Mrs. Gu wiped the corners of her eyes, "Although our family Erlang is not smart, he is well-behaved and sensible. I went to get a good tire, but I didn't see it, I couldn't believe it."

Gu Lin felt that Mrs. Gu should have kept these words in her heart for a long time. Today, she found an opportunity to vomit quickly. Naturally, he would not stop her, so he helped Mrs. Gu sit on a chair in the yard, and sat upright to listen to Mrs. Gu continue. explain.

"I know you are a good boy, but I really can't accept it emotionally." Mrs. Gu patted the back of Gu Lin's hand, "But after so many days, I also figured it out, our Erlang is going to enjoy the blessing No matter how entangled I am here, it’s useless, and I’ve heard old people from Jigu say that those who have left should let him go without any worries, otherwise there will be no peace in the next life. I’ve been thinking about him like this, Holding you tight is to hinder our Erlang's new life."

"Those who have left, let him go." Mrs. Gu's voice was a little relieved, "But Xiao Lin, you came from such a far away place, you have no relatives, no reason, and no roots. You and I, Uncle Gu Just thinking, you live here instead of Erlang, and pay for this family, so you can't just leave you alone, during the winter solstice, you go with us to worship the ancestors and sweep the graves, and tell the ancestors that our Gu family has added a newcomer."

She paused and said, "Although we can't clarify for you in front of outsiders, we should also let our ancestors know that you are you, Erlang is Erlang, and you are the newcomer of our Gu family."

Gu Lin actually didn't care about Mrs. Gu's indifference to him before. To him, the Gu family was more like his responsibility. His family was his parents and elder brother who were far away on the earth, but the relationship between people came from the source. Yes, during the time he was here, the Gu family actually treated him well, and he could feel the sincerity of the Gu family.

And he didn't expect the Gu family to think so much for him.

Indeed, in this world, he has no clan, no relatives, and is indeed a rootless person.

By doing this, the Gu family showed the attitude of the Gu family. The Gu family accepted him, not as the Erlang of the Gu family, but truly accepted him and treated him as a family member.

In this case, he can be regarded as a man with roots.

Thinking of this, Gu Lin nodded, "I know, I know everything."

"Good boy." Gu Pozi stretched out her hand and touched Gu Lin's head, "I know you have your relatives, but since there is no way to go back, let's take care of this."

"En." Gu Lin replied obediently.

"After talking so much, I forgot to steam the tea fruit." Mrs. Gu stood up and took the basket containing the tea fruit.

"Let me help you," Gu Lin hurriedly stood up, reaching out to take the basket from Mrs. Gu's hand.

"I dare not." Gu Pozi joked, "If I ask you to help, the kitchen could be burned down for you."

Gu Lin rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. In fact, he had never burned the kitchen. It was just that when cooking the ingredients in those few days, it was a bit big and there was a lot of smoke.

Seeing his embarrassment, Mrs. Gu didn't plan to tease him again, "Min Min and Bad Bad should wake up, you should go and have a look, don't let them fall."

"Okay." Gu Lin resigned to his fate and went to see the child.

========================

The next day is the winter solstice.

Early in the morning, Wen Yan was in a bad mood.

On such a day, he should have gone back to worship the ancestors of the Wen family and visit the graves of the ancestors of the Wen family.

After the age of seven, he never worshiped his ancestors or visited his tomb. On days like Qingming and Winter Solstice, Wen Yougen would always beat him up in advance until he couldn't get out of bed, and then refused him to go because he was sick. Worship ancestors and sweep graves.

The Wen family also knew about this, but they all acted as if they didn't know, and no one stopped Wen Yougen.

After all, Wen Yan's background was not a secret in Zunqian Village, and the Wen family felt happier if he didn't come to worship their ancestors.

As for Wen Yan's biological father, it would be even more impossible for Wen Yan to worship his ancestors. Isn't this a disguised admission that he had committed adultery and gave birth to a little villain?

So at this time, Wen Yan couldn't be in a good mood. Everyone went to worship their ancestors and sweep their graves, but he was like duckweed, no one cared, no one wanted it.

"Our cat is entrusted to you." Seeing him sitting at the door with a gloomy aura, Gu Lin stuffed His Majesty the cat in his arms, "Be good with each other."

Wen Yan hugged the cat, pinched the cat's ears unconsciously with both hands, stared straight at the Gu family, the male of the Gu family, even a baby doll was tightly wrapped to go to worship the ancestors, he, alone, had nothing.

"Good boy, I'll buy you candied haws tomorrow." Seeing him like that, Gu Lin felt uncomfortable, reached out and rubbed his head, and made a promise.

"Really?" Wen Yan's eyes lit up.

"Well, I'll take you to town tomorrow." Gu Lin nodded, stretched out his hand to pat his cheek, "Be happy."

"Pull the hook." Wen Yan showed a big smile and stretched out his hand.

Gu Lin didn't take this kind of childish behavior seriously, but seeing Wen Yan's high spirits, he still stretched out his hand to make a hook with Wen Yan.

After watching Gu Lin comfort Wen Yan, the old man took Gu Xian, Gu Lin, and a baby Gu Jing to the ancestral hall.

Zunqian Village is not a village of one surname, it is a village of mixed surnames. The Gu family is not a common surname among them, and the number of people is not the largest, but it is indeed one of the few surnames with an ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall of the Gu family is an old house with two entrances. It does not occupy a large area. It does not look luxurious on the outside, but it is very simple and grand. When you enter the inside, the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Gu family are neatly placed in the lobby. It is solemn.

Because it was the winter solstice, it was already crowded with members of the Gu clan.

In the past, Gu Xian was the only scholar of the Gu family, and his status was considered very high. Except for the respected clan elders, he was considered to be at the top of the ancestor worship. However, in the past ten years, Gu Xian has been in poor health. He went one step further in the imperial examinations, but was lingering on the sick bed, unable to even teach the members of the Gu clan to read and write. In the past ten years, there has been a scholar consultant in the clan. Although he is not as talented as Gu Xian before, he is a scholar after all.

Although he failed the provincial examination, it is not easy to become a candidate these days, and he is not too old, only in his twenties. In the eyes of the Gu clan, he is more promising than Gu Xian , so in recent years, when he worshiped his ancestors, he ranked ahead of Gu Xian.

Gu Xian also understands that these days, not only in the clan, but also in the officialdom, if you do not show the corresponding value, you will not be taken seriously, so he is very ambitious and must make his way to the top.

This year's ancestor worship ceremony, because of Gu Xian's good health, the clansman arranged for Gu Xian and Gu Xun to be next to the clan elders. Seeing this, Gu Xian couldn't help smiling, and became more determined to make a name for himself , Create a career so that no one can look down on him and his family.

Holding the incense, Gu Lin followed the old man to kneel behind, listening to the old man chanting to his ancestors, saying that he was blessed by the ancestors, that the family had a baby this year, Gu Xian was in good health, and Erlang went to reincarnate to live a good life. Gu Lin and so on.

After finishing the chanting, the old man took Gu Lin to kowtow, and put the incense into the censer.

Looking at the billowing green smoke and the silent ranking in the hall, Gu Lin suddenly felt a sense of belonging in his heart.

He will not forget his relatives on earth, and will regard the Gu family here as his family.

Since then, he has had another family.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Gu Xian was pulled over by the clan elders to talk about life, and Gu Lin followed the old man to meet some clansmen.

The clansmen were very interested in Gu Lin's sudden smartness, and asked around them. Gu Lin could only fool around with a group of people he didn't know at all, but he didn't expect to make friends with a few young people in the clan because of this, and also It was a surprise.

The sun gradually rose very high, and the yang energy gradually became stronger. It was time to go to the grave. The clansmen greeted each other and dispersed in twos and threes.

Gu Xian is a long-term sick person, it is logical that it is better not to go to the grave, but he is very persistent, so Mrs. Gu put on a special amulet for him, and the family went up the mountain to visit the grave.

The Gu family's ancestral grave is on Otaru Mountain, already overgrown with weeds.

Old man Gu laid out the tribute first, and then lit the incense before clearing weeds from the tomb. Gu Lin took a hoe to add soil to the tomb, Mrs. Gu cleaned up the debris in front of the tomb, and Gu Xian was weak and could only do some work of wiping the tombstone.

After paying homage to the tombs of their ancestors, it was finally the turn of the tomb of Gu Xian's wife, Gu Jingshi.

Gu Jingshi has not passed away for a long time, her grave is still new, and there are no weeds, but some paper money scattered around.

Gu Xian knelt down and carefully picked up some worn-out paper money, gathered them into a pile, and burned them.

Then he carefully wiped the tombstone clean, took out red dye from his bosom to paint the words on the tombstone brightly and elegantly, and finally took out a folded red flower from his bosom and placed it in front of the tombstone, and then Holding the two children in his arms, he bowed down to the people in the tomb.

I don't know why, but the whole process was very quiet, and Gu Xian didn't do anything special, Gu Lin was stunned to see a feeling of desolation and desolation.

I heard that my elder sister-in-law Gu Jingshi and Gu Xian had a deep love. Gu Xian must be very sad when she passed away, but in the past period of time, Gu Xian has not shown it, until today, he has only shown it a little bit.

Gu Xian is also an affectionate person, Gu Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After sweeping the tomb, he obviously felt that Gu Xian was a little lonely, but when old man Gu and Mrs. Gu looked over, he pulled himself together and tried to smile, which made Gu Lin feel unbearable.

Fortunately, the ancestral grave of the Gu family was not far from the Gu family. They returned home soon. The two children were very sensible. They started crying when they got home. They must have been hungry.

"Are you back?" Wen Yan heard the voice and ran out of the house quickly, "Children are hungry? I just boiled goat milk and it's ready to drink soon."

"How can you be so virtuous?" Gu Lin couldn't help but hook Wen Yan's neck with one hand, and snort his head with the other, messing up his hair.

"Let go."

"Don't let go." Gu Lin deliberately didn't let go.

Wen Yan couldn't help twisting his body, and the two of them writhed back and forth in the courtyard.

"Okay, stop making trouble." Old man Gu couldn't stand it anymore, "Come here quickly, it's time to make glutinous rice balls."

"Yes." Gu Lin and Wen Yan agreed, and they rushed into the room to get the materials prepared by Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu prepared black sesame glutinous rice balls. The sesame stuffing has already been fried. Just make glutinous rice dumplings and wrap the stuffing in it.

Wen Yan and Gu Lin obviously have a strong interest in making glutinous rice balls, but unfortunately, the technique is not very good, and they come out in strange shapes, round, square, and all kinds of shapes. Mrs. Gu and old man Gu can't laugh or cry.

In the end, they still ate this meal of glutinous rice balls, which looked a little weird.
