Chapter 204 Just Worried About Your Body
The bullock cart drove into Linjia Village quickly, but did not stop in the village, and went straight to the mountain behind.

Most of the Lin Family Village is surnamed Lin. Although they can be related to each other because they are far away, they are not considered a big clan, and they are all buried separately.

Farmers are usually buried on the mountain, and Lin Rao drove the ox cart up the gentle slope familiarly.

Because the day they traveled was not the Qingming day, the ancestor worship in the village had not yet started on a large scale, and most of the farmers along the way were spring plows.

The spring breeze is warm, and the green wheat seedlings are blowing. If you look closely, many of them are about to head.

Ah Zhi and Ah Si excitedly said that the wheat in this field is heavier than that in that field, and this field is watered less...

Although Yao Shu lived in the village for a long time, he was not very familiar with the crops, so he listened to the two children's comments with a smile on his face, nodding his head in agreement.

Lin Roe was driving ahead, looking back at her from time to time, and occasionally asked, "Do you want to sunbathe? Are you thirsty?"

She wore light clothes today, avoiding bright colors, elegant and simple.

But when she was about to go out, Lin Roe found a straw hat from nowhere and put it on her head half-forcedly.

He raised his head, fixedly looked into Yao Shu's eyes, and said, "Second sister-in-law said, you can't stand the sun."

Yao Shu immediately had no way to refuse.

Now that he is sitting comfortably in the bullock cart, he is still worrying constantly, Yao Shu can't help laughing: "Why don't you ask the children if they are thirsty or not, and if they are in the sun?"

Lin Roe finally glanced at the faces of Ah Zhi and Ah Si, but paused at the three treasures, and then quickly retracted: "Do you think they look thirsty?"

It was rare for the children to go out in an ox cart, and they were as excited as letting the wind go, chattering non-stop, and even Sanbao participated in the discussion by saying unknown words, very energetic.

Lin Rong said again: "There is a slope ahead, and we are almost there."

Yao Shu straightened up, sorted out the incense candles and paper money needed later, and soon the ox cart stopped.

She picked up Sambo and got out of the car, and the two children also jumped out.

Yao Shu grew up in an orphanage and never had the opportunity to worship his ancestors.

She asked Mrs. Jiang for advice, and then she prepared the things that should be prepared for ancestor worship.

It's just that Yao Shu couldn't help feeling novelty here.

As far as the eye can see, greenery is everywhere on the hillside, and the ancestors of the Lin family were buried in this piece of greenery.

To Yao Shu's surprise, from a distance, each tomb was just a small bag of earth, scattered on the ground and not neat.

And those tombs don't even have names.

Lin Roe took paper money, sacrifices and other things from the bullock cart, and walked with his wife and children to a plain earth bag with ease.

He put down the things in his hands, and said to Yao Shu, "Grandfather and grandmother are buried here."

In a tomb, two husband and wife are often buried, surrounded by their sons.

But looking at it now, the place where Lin Zhi's grandfather and grandmother were buried had long been covered with green grass.

Yao Shu was amazed by the simplicity of the farmers' burial, but seeing Lin Rong's usual look, he nodded without saying anything.

Lin Zhi simply cleaned up the weeds in front of the grave, then bent down, and placed the sacrifices brought by Yao Shu in front of the grave one by one.

The silence on his face was different from the past, it was a peaceful and relaxed silence.

"Grandfather, grandmother, here we come."

He stared at the tomb with both eyes, and said softly, "The grandson hasn't come to visit you since he came back. Now that it's Qingming, I just bring the three treasures here to show you two elders."

Yao Shu took a step forward with the three treasures in his arms, imitating Lin Roe, and said softly, "Grandfather and grandmother, this is our third child, named Lin Shen."

The baby's eyes were full of ignorance, and he didn't understand what the adults told him to see.

From his point of view, such an unremarkable bumpkin was not as attractive as the vivid scenery around him, so he turned his head away again.

Lin Rong lit incense and handed it to Yao Shu's children.

A Zhi and A Si held the incense in their hands, knelt down next to Lin Rong in front of the tomb, kowtowed to their deceased ancestors, and silently prayed for their ancestors to bless them.

Holding the three treasures in his arms, Yao Shu followed Lin Roe's movements and silently recited the words she could think of, completing the ceremony.

"Grandfather and grandma... I hope you keep Arradi and the children safe and healthy."

Lin Rong put the brazier aside, lit the yellow paper with burning incense, and began to slowly put it into the brazier.

The wind gently blew the grass and trees on the hill, making a rustling sound, blowing the red flame to the edge of the basin, and gradually disappeared as the black ash dissipated.

This solemn atmosphere is permeated with a kind of tranquility that touches people's hearts and minds. In Yao Shu's original consciousness, there is nothing left when people die and the lights go out.

But such a bizarre time-traveling experience actually happened to her... She couldn't help but wonder whether people really have souls, and whether the worship of ancestors that has been passed down for thousands of years really has its original meaning.

Thinking wildly like this, seeing the immature faces of Ah Zhi and Ah Si, Yao Shu thought to himself——

If she and Lin Rong grow old in the future and are finally buried together in the mountains like the ancestors of the Lin family, will the children miss them like this every year?

After the ceremony was completed, Ah Si raised his head and asked Yao Shu, "Aniang, can Grandpa and Grandma really receive the paper money we burned?"

Yao Shu looked at the ashes left after the yellow paper burned out in the brazier, and said warmly, "As long as Er Bao is sincere, grandpa and grandma will receive it."

The time of worship was not long, and before leaving, Lin Zhi took out a small bottle of wine from his bosom, and poured it in front of the tomb.

Ashu looked at it for a moment, but heard him say: "Grandpa loved to drink before he was alive, but he was not in good health and couldn't drink too much. I'll bring him some today, so that he can satisfy his hunger."

Yao Shu smiled, but didn't speak.

On the return journey, the children had resumed their usual lively activities, but Yao Shu seemed to be preoccupied and didn't say much.

Ah Zhi saw the difference in his mother, and asked her, "Aniang, are you feeling well?"

Lin Roe, who was driving the car in front, keenly caught this sentence, looked back at Yao Shu, and said to the boy, "Azhi, give your straw hat to your mother."

Seeing that he was looking at him, Yao Shu hurriedly said, "I'm fine, you drive your car."

The sun is slowly rising, and it is indeed a bit drying.

After turning a corner, Lin Roe asked her if she wanted to go to the shaded place ahead to rest.

Yao Shu couldn't laugh or cry, he felt that Lin Rong treated himself like a porcelain doll, which was a little too much.

It can be seen that he turned his head frequently, obviously worried, so she had no choice but to say: "Then take a rest, and you can drink some water."

The bullock cart stopped under the tall jujube trees, the trees had luxuriant branches and leaves, which completely blocked the scorching sun in spring.

Yao Shu took out the clay jugs from the car, poured some water out, and shared it with the children first.

Then she poured another bowl, handed it to Lin Roe, and asked, "Are you tired?"

The man was exposed to the sun all the way in front of the car, but there was no sweat on his forehead, and he looked refreshed.

He glanced at Yao Shu and said, "You drink first."

Yao Shu had no choice but to see him persist, so he had to take a sip and handed it to Lin Roe.

Lin Zhi was indeed thirsty, he raised his head and drank the clear water in the bowl in one breath, only then did he feel that his throat was much more comfortable.

Yao Shu scolded, "Why don't you tell me when you're thirsty, and you have to be asked to drink water? If I didn't let you drink, wouldn't you be thirsty all the way?"

Men are used to being patient and don't feel anything.

What he cares about now is another, more important thing.

But when Lin Roe's eyes were on Yao Shu again, she finally couldn't help it anymore, and said suspiciously: "Lin Roe, you have looked at me countless times this morning, and you turned your head to look at me seven or eight times just after burning the paper. Back. Tell me, what's the matter?"

The two children had sharp ears and stopped talking a long time ago. They deliberately stood closer to the adults to eavesdrop on what their parents were saying.

Lin Roe spotted them and gave Ah Zhi a look of embarrassment, but he pretended not to see them and turned his head away.

The man had no choice but to move closer to Yao Shu, and whispered to her, "It's nothing, I'm just worried about your body."
