Love is like a dream

I was very disgusted and had no choice but to avoid meeting them as much as possible. I went to bed early after I got home and had some food. I said I was sleeping, but in fact I was just lying on the bed playing with my mobile phone and chatting with Xiao Zhen.

I asked her if she wanted to visit the grave, and she said that she would go if she had time, but she was busy with the concert, so she didn't know if she would be free.I know she is a filial child, and she must be very sad if she really can't find time.When I told her that I had to pretend to cry and recite words when I went home to visit the grave, she laughed curiously and asked me what words I wanted to recite.

The words I told her were all impromptu, there was no fixed format, I was just chanting, saying that I miss you grandpa and grandma, I will burn some more money for you, and you should eat, dress, and so on... , After I told her, she laughed even more, and said that you are so interesting to visit the grave.

Tomb-sweeping is originally a sad and nostalgic event, but a bunch of formal and funny rules are necessary.Xiao Zhen said that when they go to visit the grave, they will actually say similar things to the deceased elders, but they don't need to cry, let alone pretend to cry. Some relatives have passed away for many years, and they really can't cry.

The next day, I was bored at home for another day. Apart from eating, sleeping, and watching TV, I played with my mobile phone. My mother scolded me, saying that I should go out more often because I don’t go out all day. I don’t know what to do. Go talk to those grandpas and aunts about whose daughter-in-law is greedy and lazy, or how many boyfriends the daughter-in-law has had?

The third day is the Ching Ming Festival. Early in the morning, my aunt, uncle and cousin all arrived. They want to go to the cemetery of grandparents to sweep the grave. I see that they have prepared a lot of fruit snacks as offerings. Wrapped gold ingots, long incense sticks, and stacks of thick Ming coins, each worth 1 million yuan, is really bold!People who want to come to that world also like to have money to spend.

When I arrived at the cemetery, my mother was already burning paper, crying and chanting words. I was listening, and it probably meant that grandparents have worked so hard all their lives. Now that the younger generations have burned money for you, don’t be reluctant there. Hua, to bless the younger generations to work smoothly and so on.

The father, uncle and cousin stood aside and watched silently, presumably they couldn't cry, and my aunt didn't cry either, she just burned paper and muttered.

Seeing me standing there stupidly, my mother glared at me and said, "Molly, come here and kowtow to grandparents and burn some ingots."

I walked over and took out a handful of ingots and Ming coins from the basket and lit them, and imitated my mother and said a few words: "Grandpa and grandma, you eat and drink well over there, go out more when you have nothing to do, don't be old Bored at home, the world is so big, you should go and see..."

My mother slapped me on the head: "This child, what nonsense! Why don't you cry?"

My cousin sneered when he heard my words, and my uncle also smiled: "This kid doesn't say any words."

My aunt is a very open-minded person, and she said to my mother: "It's okay, there are so many rules, cry whatever you want, just burn an ingot, it's all done, go home."

My cousin is only one year older than me. He works in Shanghai and was temporarily called back to visit the grave. On the way back, he whispered to me: "Hahaha, what were you talking about just now, let grandma and grandpa come out for a while when they have nothing to do?" , What are you turning around, it’s scary to come out, no wonder my aunt beat you!"

I thought for a while, yes, they are all in that world, they are ghosts for us, if they all jumped out, the world would not be in chaos.

My aunt's family was going to have lunch at home, and my mother cooked a few more dishes, including steamed eggplant boxes, fried eggplant sticks, fried pork with garlic sprouts, fried cowpeas with green peppers, spicy tofu, roast chicken, etc. Dad and uncle also drank a lot of wine , I told my cousin something about work.

I took a photo of a table of dishes and sent it to Xiao Zhen, asking her if she had lunch, she sent me a pouting expression, followed by a photo of eating box lunch.

Xiao Zhen: I hate Jasmine, I eat so many good ingredients, I'm eating box lunch!

Me: Oh, my little Zhen, come here, I’ll feed you a chicken drumstick, oh yes, if you’re vegetarian, I’ll feed you a piece of tofu—

She immediately sent a drooling emoji, and I smiled.

My aunt watched me laughing while holding my phone, and asked, "Molly, have you had a boyfriend yet?"

I quickly locked the screen of my phone: "Ah, no."

Aunt: "Don't you think aunt can't see it without you giggling at the phone?"

Me: "Auntie, you gossip like this too, I'm chatting with my classmates!"

At this time, my aunt told my mother: "The son of the family named Cui on the front street of our village seems to be working in Beijing as well. He is two years older than Molly. He looks good and has a stable job. How about introducing him to Molly? introduce?"

I was not happy when I heard it: "What's the matter with you, you are always thinking about marrying me."

Uncle answered on the sidelines: "Molly, you should also consider personal issues. No matter how old you are, it will be difficult to find you."

Me: "Why do I have to find someone? I don't know how to earn money to support myself. It's really inexplicable."

There is really a generation gap, and my cousin immediately spoke for me: "Yes, Dad and Mom, we are still young, and we should put our career first. Without a good financial foundation, how can there be a happy family."

The aunt glared at her cousin: "Shut up, I haven't talked about you yet, Molly is a girl, what kind of career and financial foundation do you want?"

My cousin had no choice but to shut up and grabbed a chicken leg and took a bite. I also put down my chopsticks and said: "Okay, please express your opinions slowly, I am full."

After a while, the family finished eating, and I helped my mother clean up the dishes, and everyone sat together drinking tea and chatting again. I checked the time and picked up the backpack from the room and said: "Dad Mom, aunt, uncle, cousin, I have to go to work tomorrow, and I have to rush back to Beijing today, I’m going to the station to take the bus, so you don’t have to see me off.”

My mother was washing the dishes, and immediately chased after her: "This child, leave as soon as you say, can't you leave tomorrow?"

Me: "If I leave tomorrow, I have to ask for leave, and the money will be deducted!"

My mother wiped her hands: "Let her deduct the deduction. Mom will send you the money. Can you take a vacation and stay for one more day?"

I think my mother is really cute, if she doesn't always force me to go on blind dates...

Me: "Mom, your daughter still has a lot of dreams to realize, how can I always rely on you, old man, I will come back to see you next time I am on vacation."

My home is very close to the station. After half an hour, I bought the ticket and got on the bus back to Beijing. I am going back to my little world of freedom again. I am happy!Ahhh, I can see Xiao Zhen again in two days, so excited!
