Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

In the next three days, the rituals were finally completed.

Zhang Xuan and Wu Ruiguo looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Cremation in the spirit house was held at 3 pm on the 10th. The so-called spiritual house is a house burned for the deceased.

Du Dudong was willing to burn the largest set meal, a 2,000 yuan spiritual house, for the sake of the old mayor's good life. It is very large and consists of four parts: pavilions, pavilions, rockery gardens, ponds with pines and cranes, and mountains of gold and silver. If you look closely, you can see that even the maids are burning.

Oops, many people suddenly shouted, The old mayor is no longer alone over there.

When the spirit house is set on fire, there is a rule that spectators are not allowed to call people by their real names, otherwise something could easily happen.

I don’t know if it’s true or not?

Anyway, there were two people in their early 40s. One of them accidentally called the other by his real name because he was used to it, and they almost started fighting on the spot. If it weren't for Du Dudong's speed, he would have to go to a hospital with such a menacing look.

It's sad that after decades of dating, just because of a real name, our friendship was wiped out in an instant.

When returning from the fire scene, the Master did not allow everyone to look back and had to walk forward until home.

Looking back, there are very few cases where I might see bad things and have nightmares at night.

These are all customs. Many people shout that they don't believe it, but no one is willing to take the risk.

After all, these things have been passed down from generation to generation for many years. You don’t have to believe it, but you still remain in awe.

The rituals were finally completed, and the next step was to offer sacrifices.

Zhang Xuan looked at the list and found that there were 27 classes. Starting from the son Dudong, the nephews, natal family, and son-in-law are arranged all the way to the back.

The son in front is about an hour old.

The later ones are faster, usually finishing in 15 minutes.

Zhang Xuan and Wu Ruiguo were in Hall 6.

When it was the turn of the two of them, there were a lot of people watching, but Zhang Xuan had experience with this thing, so Wu Ruiguo learned from him.

Wu Ruiguo did whatever Zhang Xuan did, but sometimes the two people's movements were opposite. Wu Ruiguo looked confused and couldn't tell the difference, so he continued to do it. Oops, he was so happy to watch the excitement, and he suddenly made pig noises. .

After 15 minutes, Wu Ruiguo could hold on at first, but in the end he could only smile with a trembling face.

Du Jingling looked on with annoyance and amusement. As soon as the incident was over, she took her husband to the corner to comfort him.

Some people exaggerate and declare: Great writers are different and have rich experience.

Zhang Xuan really wanted to reply: Damn it, do you want this experience for me?

But after all, I just think about it in my heart and can't really respond. In rural areas, this kind of talk is purely teasing, without any malice, and cannot be taken seriously.

But it was different when it fell into the ears of Du Shuangling, Lilith and Mi Jian.

All three of them knew that Zhang Xuan's father died early, and the reason why he knows the process today was all learned at that time.

Du Shuangling quietly comforted: Dear, don't take it seriously, don't take it to your heart.

Zhang Xuan stretched out his hand and squeezed her palm: No. Get a good sleep in the middle of the night. We have to send grandpa up the mountain tomorrow, which is a big project.

Um.

Du Shuangling said: I will go to Shangcun with you tonight.

Zhang Xuan nodded, If you don't tell me, I want to take you up there. It's too noisy down there, so you may not be able to sleep.

What does the 27th Festival mean?

It means staying up all night, which means the sound and bang of firecrackers are constant.

Oh, the ring punch is a homemade thing. It is a rectangular iron block with 8 to 12 circular holes at the end. Then fill it with gunpowder and light the fuse, which will send out a circle of air waves. The sound is very loud, about 10 times louder than the sound of fireworks, and can be heard for several miles. road.

When Zhang Xuan's father passed away, a deaf man came to watch the fun. Because he was so close to the sound, he heard the sound for the first time in his life. At that time, everyone was shocked.

Li Wendong and Tao Qin had a great time these two days, following them up the mountain every day. They never passed wild boars, pheasants, and hares empty-handed, and they were very happy.

Looking at the four wild boars brought back from the yard, Zhang Xuan was too lazy to move himself, so he had to call the owner of the canteen to come over and perform an autopsy.

Li Wendong said excitedly: Your place is so rich in natural resources that I don't want to leave.

Zhang Xuan smacked his lips: After all, it is the main vein of Xuefeng Mountain. If it is not rich in resources, how many places in our country are rich in resources?

You are lucky. If you push it forward 30 years, there will be South China tigers in almost every mountain.

Lilith's hometown is in Shandong Province. She didn't know these things and couldn't help but ask: Where are those tigers now?

Zhang Xuandao said: They were all beaten, and the superiors sent people to beat them.

Seeing everyone looking at him in confusion, he explained: Decades ago, a hundred tigers surrounded the village in Gaoping Village at the southern foot of Xuefeng Mountain. It was a big commotion and the consequences were serious. In order to protect the people, the superiors If it’s safe, organize a fight.”

Four wild boars shared nearly 300 kilograms of meat. Zhang Xuan planned to pay the canteen owner a salary, but he took a piece of wild boar meat and left happily without paying for it.

Zhang Xuan said to Mi Jian and Lilith: When you go back, take some game back with you.

Lilith did not refuse. In addition to wild boar, she also personally selected three pheasants.

Mi Jian likes the tail feathers of pheasants and thinks they are very beautiful. The old man even made a feather fan for her, which is the kind of fan used by Zhuge Liang in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

After handing the feather fan to Mi Jian, Zhang Xuan turned around and asked Du Shuangling, Do you want it?

Du Shuangling shook her head slightly, pursed her lips and whispered, I only want you.

Okay, Zhang Xuan shut up instantly.

In the evening, after taking a shower, Zhang Xuan said to Du Shuangling: I'm going to the United States on the 20th to receive the Hugo Award. Come with me and relax.

Du Shuangling put her head on his shoulder, Okay.

Hearing the footsteps in the corridor, Du Shuangling moved her head away from his shoulder, turned around and asked Mi Jian, Lilith and Yongjian who were coming up:

We plan to go to the United States on the 20th, will you come with us?

Yang Yongjian glanced at Zhang Xuan, said nothing, and sat watching the show.

Mi Jian sat down next to Yang Yongjian: I'm not going, I still have some books I haven't finished reading.

If Mi Jian doesn't go, Lilith will naturally not go either: The summer vacation is more than half over, and I want to go back to spend time with my parents.

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan's heart dropped.

It was the same night as before, Mi Jian slept with Ruan Xiuqin, Du Shuangling slept with Zhang Xuan, and Tao Qin had an empty bed.

As for Li Wendong, since he moved into the first floor of the villa, his activities have been on the first floor and the outside yard, and he has never been to the second floor.

Just like what he said to Zhang Xuan: The second floor is your back garden, men only stop there.

Zhang Xuan said: I'm too lazy to apply for a visa. Please help us get the visas for both actors.

Li Wendong said: This is simple.

Since Tao Qin moved into the second floor three days ago, the relationship between Mi Jian and Ruan Xiuqin, who share the same bed, has begun to develop by leaps and bounds.

During the day, the two of them made a tacit agreement not to talk much in front of outsiders.

But every time before going to bed, we would chat for a while.

Because of that phone call, Ruan Xiuqin had already concluded that Mi Jian, the beautiful girl, had a relationship with Man Zai.

Mi Jian did not defend this misunderstanding.

First, the time and place of the phone call that night cannot be explained clearly.

Second, she could feel Aunt Xiuqin's true love for her.

Mi Jian even felt that she was delusional. Aunt Xiuqin seemed to be happy to see her son have sex with her.

But she knew that this was not an illusion, but a real feeling. For this reason, Mi Jian followed Ruan Xiuqin's thoughts and acquiesced in her relationship with Zhang Xuan.

She wasn't awkward either, but she always felt guilty and regretful afterwards.

The guilt is that I feel I have failed the two actors by doing this, and the regret is that I could not accept his confession and get together in high school.

But Mi Jian knew that regrets were regrets, and if things happened again, she would still take the same path.

Ruan Xiuqin asked: I remember that Manzai used to like to run to Shao City when he had nothing to do. He must have gone to find you, right?

If it were before, Mi Jian might not know how to answer this question, but now it's very simple: Auntie is worried.

Ruan Xiuqin said gently: I'm not worried about him, I just feel that I have wronged you.

When I first met you 2 years ago, I felt that Man Zai looked at you differently.

I didn't feel comfortable asking at the time, but I didn't expect that he would pester you like that and make you suffer.

Then, without waiting for Mi Jian's reply, Ruan Xiuqin asked cautiously: Do your parents know about you two?

Mi Jian originally wanted to hide it, but after receiving Ruan Xiuqin's eyes, he immediately softened. After thinking about it, he said honestly: I know, he went to my house for dinner.

Ruan Xiuqin further asked: Besides your parents, does anyone else know about it?

Mi Jian replied: All my relatives on my grandmother's side know.

Ruan Xiuqin's heart tightened and she didn't dare to ask any more questions. If Zhang Xuan were in front of her, he would definitely slap her on the back of the head.

Just hearing about this kind of thing made Ruan Xiuqin's hair stand on end. He didn't know how that bastard Manzai managed to keep his expression unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai.

Ruan Xiuqin took out her mobile phone and said to Mi Jian: Give Auntie your mobile phone number. If Auntie has anything to do with you in the future, it will be easier to contact you.

Mi Jian said yes and gave her mobile phone number.

After saving her mobile phone number, Ruan Xiuqin said: If he bullies you in the future, just tell me and I will beat him for you.

Mi smiled at the sight and thought to herself that Aunt Xiuqin would never hit Zhang Xuan, and anyone could tell the level of her precious son at a glance.

However, Ruan Xiuqin's statement made her feel inexplicably open.

The two chatted for a long time, and when Mi Jian fell asleep, Ruan Xiuqin still couldn't sleep.

Ruan Xiuqin was worried. Although she and Mi Jian had only been together for three or four days, she could feel the goodness of this girl in all aspects, which made her really like her.

But what about Mi Jian’s family?

What about the relationship between Kedong and Ai Qing?

This is the level of two actors?

None of these three levels seem to be easy to pass.

Just thinking about Ruan Xiuqin makes her scalp numb and her brain breaks into a cold sweat.

the other side.

Due to the need to abide by customs, the two actors, Zhang Xuan and Du, just hugged each other tightly to express their lovesickness.

Du Shuangling asked emotionally: Do you miss me when I'm not around?

Zhang Xuan stroked her face with his right hand: I miss you more than I miss my mother.

Du Shuangling asked: Why do you think so?

Zhang Xuan rubbed her cheek against hers: No reason, you are my wife, I just want to.

Feeling the strangeness in his body, Du Shuangling said, My dear, if you bear with me a little longer, I will give it to you in two days.

Zhang Xuan blinked: You have to make it up to me in two days, I'm almost exhausted.

Du Shuangling blinked: How long have you been holding it in?

Zhang Xuan said: It's been more than a month.

Du Shuangling tilted his head to calculate: In a month, you should be able to torment me for one night. I will look forward to your performance by then.

Zhang Xuan: .

He said: I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on.

Du Shuangling said shyly: It doesn't matter, you are my man. If I don't satisfy you, what will you do if you go out and find another woman?

This is my obligation, dear, don't pamper me.

Zhang Xuan was stunned, not knowing whether the smiling tiger meant something, or?

He pretended not to understand and said, When you say that, I want it now.

Du Shuangling twisted in his arms, suddenly looked up at his hair and asked, Hey, where are your three white hairs?

Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked: Have you discovered it a long time ago?

Du Shuangling said: You had them in your second year of college. I haven't pulled them out just to see if they would increase in number.

At this point, he asked again: Mom helped you pull it out?

Zhang Xuan bit the bullet and said it was right.

After hearing this answer, Du Shuangling recalled it three days ago.

Since there was a frost at 2 o'clock in the evening for the past three days, she did not come to stay.

Also because of the climbing frost, I was too tired for the past three days, so I didn't pay attention to the gray hair.

Is it Lilith? Or Mi Mi?

Lilith still holds the idea of ​​​​sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and she should not be alone with Mi Jian under his eyes.

So it's most likely Mi Jian?

Before, Du Shuangling wouldn't have thought it was her, but after that phone call, everything became possible.

For more than a year, the reason why she did not pull out her gray hair was because she was really worried about whether the number of gray hairs would increase. There is also another meaning.

She saw her man's eagerness to make a move on Wen Hui.

But because she wanted to spend more time with her grandfather, she went home whenever she had time.

This will lead to many opportunities for his man to get along with Wen Hui.

Wen Hui is a very attentive person. If he found his gray hair and the relationship was natural, she might help him pull out his gray hair.

This is why Du Shuangling noticed his gray hair three days ago, when he just came back.

Of course, this is just a probability, a very low probability. Even if Wen Hui's relationship with him progresses further, there is still a possibility that she will not pull out.

The reason why I didn’t guess was my mother-in-law. Because if it was her mother-in-law who pulled out the white hair, she would have told herself to take care of him and not stay up late.

With so many thoughts on his mind, Du Shuangling kissed him and said, Honey, I'm a little sleepy. Let's sleep.

Zhang Xuan returned the kiss and said, Okay, sleep.

…

The next day, when Du Shuangling got up and washed up, she happened to meet Ruan Xiuqin in the bathroom.

After saying hello, Du Shuangling said casually: Mom, if you find his white hair next time, don't pull it out for him. I want to see if it will increase in number.

Ruan Xiuqin was dumbfounded and subconsciously wanted to ask with concern, Manzai has gray hair?, but immediately knew not to say so.

So she said distressedly, My mother is worried that she has gray hair at such a young age. I have been telling him not to stay up late recently.

Shuangling, you are getting close to him. You should remind him and control him more in the future and don't stay up late.

Du Shuangling said yes.

For the sake of a harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she wisely stopped asking questions and started rinsing her mouth.
