Chapter 48

Ching Ming Festival.

One of the four traditional festivals in Huaguo, Qingming ancestor worship, burning incense and lighting candles, offering sacrifices in front of the tomb does not mean that people believe in ghosts and gods, but people remember their ancestors and appreciate the moral belief and cultural inheritance of life extension.

Every Ching Ming Festival, men, women and children, whether they are studying or working outside, will go home to worship their ancestors.

When worshiping, the old people will tell about whose tomb is there, and what important and interesting events happened during their lifetime.

Let the future generations bear in mind that life is not easy, remember the hardships and think about the sweetness, put all kindness and filial piety first, and know how to be grateful for the people and things in the past in order to have a better future.

Early in the morning, the Xiao family in the town gathered at the end of South Street, more than 100 men, women and children.

Those who sit on stools sit on stools, and those who eat melon seeds eat melon seeds.

There is a lot of voices, you talk to me, and you can't chat on weekdays, but on this festival of returning home to worship ancestors, they all let go of their grudges, and chat about family matters without words.

Waiting for the car to return home together.

Not long after, a thunderous roar came.

Everyone raised their heads when they heard the sound.

Army-green big brick cars came grandly from the other end of the South Street, and pedestrians on the road gave way one after another.

"Finally, I don't have to ride a tractor this year!"

"Great, finally I don't have to push the cart with the cold wind blowing, and I don't have to throw up my breakfast!"

"The village chief has finally accomplished something this year!"

Many people almost cried with joy.

Someone said: "What does it have to do with the village head? These big brick cars were borrowed by Xiao Zhigang's son, Xiao Cheng, from the owner of the brick factory. I was working in the brick factory yesterday, and I saw Xiao Cheng go to our brick factory with my own eyes. The boss borrowed a car."

"Our boss agreed without saying a word, and sent Xiao Cheng out politely. The friendship between the two of them is so deep! How can we go to the village chief who can't even meet our boss? of."

Others also echoed: "When I came here this morning, I saw the village head driving a tractor on the road. If it weren't for a young man on the road who stopped the car and told him that the brick factory had lent a car to Xiao Cheng. The village In the long run, we may be allowed to take a tractor back to the countryside to worship our ancestors this year!"

"Brother Xiao Cheng can borrow a car, why didn't you go back to the countryside with us to worship our ancestors in previous years?" A big boy who was still in junior high school asked puzzled.

The friendly aunt smirked: "Your grandfather didn't let anyone notify you, Brother Xiao Cheng, why did he come back!"

The big boy was embarrassed and shut up consciously.

After the first brick car stopped, no one got off.

The second car came to a complete stop, and the village chief Xiao Guofu opened the door from the co-pilot and got out of the car, and hurried over to count the number of people.

After ordering, I ran to the first brick car, and said to the man sitting in the driver's seat: "More than 20 people came back from Longcheng next door this morning, and now the total number is 168. Our six brick cars can sit Is it over?"

The man glanced around, and said calmly: "How many old people, children, and adults are there?"

Xiao Guofu immediately ran back and nodded.

Soon he came back panting, "15 elderly people, 11 children under the age of ten, 39 middle and high school students, and the rest are all adults."

Xiao Cheng tapped his finger on the steering wheel twice, and began to assign: "The old man takes a stool in the same car, and let the three adults who beat the gongs and drums ride in the same car."

"Children under the age of ten will sit in one car accompanied by their parents, and the other four cars will all stand."

Xiao Guofu nodded after thinking for a while, and all the adults stood, which was also the case in previous years.

Originally, there were six big brick carts this year, and everyone could sit on a stool. He received news from acquaintances in the town early in the morning and made a good notification. Unexpectedly, in previous years, the Xiao family in Longcheng sent a representative back. There were so many people suddenly, and there was no advance notice.

Now it’s too late to go back to the brick factory to borrow a car, so I can only squeeze and stand.

Compared with a tractor that can even vomit jaundiced water, the smooth and stable big brick car is many times better, and the clansmen will not complain about standing.

Hearing the allocation, he got into the car without saying a word, and put the stool prepared in advance to the nearest neighbor's house temporarily.

Wang Cuihua's husband is also from the Xiao family, and her name is Xiao Zhongbiao. It stands to reason that she can remarry after her husband's death, and it doesn't matter whether she goes to the Xiao family's countryside to worship her ancestors.

But she was about to get into Xiao Cheng's car as soon as she arrived.

"Brother Xiao Cheng..."

Before the word "brother" could be uttered, the co-pilot leaned over with a pretty head and a smile on his face.

Ask her: "What can I do with my husband?"

Wang Cuihua looked at Xiao Cheng, who was silent in the driver's seat and supported his white waist, and said falteringly: "I'm a little motion sick. I heard that it's better to sit in the co-pilot, and I won't vomit."

The corners of Bai Lu's lips curved slightly: "But our car is already full, Xiaowei even added a cushion to sit in the middle, do you want to go to another car to have a look?"

Xiao Wei was speechless at the moment.

Does she know that he is sitting in the middle?

The whole person walked across from him, almost laying on top of the elder brother. How could a person who usually pays so much attention to his image suddenly become so careless now?

Wang Cuihua's face was hot, and her brain was still shocked by Bai Lu's sudden appearance, and she didn't recover for a long time.

Who goes to the cemetery while pregnant?
Brother Xiao Cheng doesn't care?

"Then so and so, let me go, we're going to get into Brother Cheng's car, if you don't get in, please get out of the way."

A group of little girls ran over carrying shovels.

They were all junior high school students, high school students, full of sunshine and full of energy, they pushed Wang Cuihua to the side at once, obviously "letting go" was just a notice.

Wang Cuihua reluctantly went to Xiao Dazhuang's car, but Xiao Dazhuang's mother was in the co-pilot and also got motion sickness.

She is not Xiao Wei, she is seven years old, she can put a cushion in the middle and sit in the middle, if she wants to sit, she can only sit in the rear compartment.

But the back compartment of that car was full of old people, and she was an adult, so she could only run back to Xiao Cheng's side.

Xiao Cheng's rear compartment was already full of little girls.

The girls also blocked the boys who wanted to get on the bus: "It's full, go to another car."

The boys didn't go: "We're going to take Brother Cheng's car, you stand in, and there are a few more."

"Don't get in, don't get in, you go to another car, it's hard to get in a car with too many people."

"That's right, it's not that you can't take other cars, it doesn't matter which car you take to go." The girls tried to persuade them with good voices, but they didn't back down at all when they blocked people.

The boys were still going to squeeze in.

For other cars, it is time to sit, sit, stand, and stand, and they are all loaded.

Only in Xiao Cheng's car, a large group of teenagers surrounded the rear of the car, unwilling to leave and unable to get in.

Boys and girls in adolescence, more or less have a little bit of admiration for the strong.

Xiao Cheng often took people through the streets and alleys to collect Lao Lai's bills. There was such a large group of people that no one dared to mess with them.

Anyone who sees him has to call Big Brother.

It's the same in Pingcheng. Street gangsters have to pass cigarettes when they see Xiao Cheng. Lao Lai shivered when he saw him. Boys and girls have seen him many times. I want to ride in Xiao Cheng's car, it's more face-saving to ride in Xiao Cheng's car.

However, Xiao Cheng didn't go back to the countryside with everyone during the Qingming Festival in previous years. This year, he finally got the chance.

Don't miss the big brother's car!
