Chapter 21; Going to the Grave

After wandering around, the sky soon became dark.

Seeing this, Wang Zhen walked towards his home.

After arriving at home, Wang’s mother was already cooking, while Wang’s father was taking Wang Liang to print money in the living room.

Tomorrow is thirty.

According to the tradition of Luojiawan, tomorrow morning is the day to worship ancestors.

Therefore, in addition to the items for worship, burnt paper must also be prepared.

The items for worship.

Generally speaking, there are four steamed buns, a piece of cooked fat, a few fruits, and a bottle of wine.

In addition, there are burnt paper and firecrackers.

This paper is not ordinary paper, but yellow paper specially bought.

After buying it, it cannot be used directly, and immediate relatives need to print money.

How to print?

Actually very simple.

Find a brand new hundred-dollar bill, paste it on a stack of yellow paper, and pat it hard.

If the yellow paper is large enough, print it down according to the size of the money.

After printing the front, on the back.

Then, the money can be burned.

This is not feudal superstition.

It's a kind of sustenance.

What burns does not mean, but the spirit of the relatives missing the deceased.

Print the money.

Because yellow paper is stacked in a stack, it is not convenient to burn.

Therefore, the next step is to make money.

This is simple, fold the yellow paper in half, then pinch the folded yellow paper in the middle, and pinch it on both sides.

If you do this, the yellow paper will turn into lace and will burn a little easier.

"Brother, you are back, hurry up, you are good at giving money, come and help."

Seeing Wang Zhen coming back, Wang Liang couldn't wait to greet him.

"Okay, I'll come now. Is the money printed?"

Wang Zhen responded, sat down and asked while sending the money.

"It's been printed long ago, and I'm waiting for you to come."

Wang Liang smiled and put the paper next to Wang Zhen.

Sending money is a technical job.

The better the discharge, the faster the burn, it will be a bit of a test of patience.

This is a tragic task for Wang Liang, who likes to be indifferent when doing things.

So, after handing it over to Wang Zhen, he suddenly became happy.

Wang Zhen didn't care so much about this and began to pay the money seriously.

Soon, as time passed, a large pile of neatly arranged paper money was placed neatly in the basket.

"Little kid, his father, after dinner, I'll go get up."

As soon as Wang Zhen finished sending the paper money, Wang's mother's shout came from the stove room.

"Okay mom, let's come now."

"Dad, brother, you go and serve first, I'll call grandparents."

After responding to Wang's mother, Wang Zhen said to Wang Dad and Wang Liang, and then came to the inner room.

"Come on, Xiao Zhen, help your grandpa."

When Wang Zhen came to the inner room, Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang had already gotten up. After seeing him coming, Grandma Wang greeted him.

The old man is not afraid of anything else, he is afraid of the cold.

Therefore, generally, after two elderly people finish their meal, they will lie on the bed or sleep.

"Okay, let's go, grandpa, slowly, don't worry."

Hearing grandma's words, Wang Zhen walked to Grandpa Wang, helped him up, and said in a low voice.

After hearing this, Grandpa Wang didn't say anything, but used practical actions to express his support for Wang Zhen. With the help of him and Grandma Wang, he came to the table in the main hall to sit down.

At this time, a few bowls of dumplings were already placed on the table, and the rest of Wang Dad and Wang Liang were serving.

After all the dumplings were served, the whole family was not polite and started chatting and eating.

This food lasts for more than ten minutes.

After everyone was full, Wang Zhen called Wang Liang to help him send Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang back to the bed.

Then, because the weather was too cold, Wang Zhen chatted with Wang’s father and mother for a few words, and then returned to the bed with Wang Liang and sat down.

That's it, not long after.

After a sleeping surge, Wang Zhen fell asleep.

No words all night.

The next day was already New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, Wang Zhen was asleep and was awakened by the crackling sound of firecrackers.

Then, it was the sound of Wang Ma calling out to get up for dinner.

"Xiao Zhen, Xiao Liang, you've got up and have a meal. After you finish eating, you may have to go to the grave to burn paper for your ancestors."

"Okay mom, come here."

"Brother, I'm up. We're going to visit the grave today."

Hearing his mother's shout, Wang Zhen responded and began to call Wang Liang to get up.

When he heard that he was going to visit the grave, Wang Liang didn't dare to be lazy in bed this time. After Wang Zhen called out, he immediately sat up and started to wear clothes.

The two of them put on their clothes, came to the door to wash their faces, brush their teeth, and started to have breakfast.

At this time, Dad Wang had already eaten and was putting the things he wanted to bring to the grave in the frame.

When he was ready, Wang Zhen and Wang Liang had finished eating, and immediately said to Wang Ma, the three of them crossed the basket and carried things toward the road together.

When I arrived at the old road, as usual, many villagers squatted on the roadside to eat. When they saw Wang Dad and Wang Zhen, they would greet each other enthusiastically.

"Double work, go to the grave?"

"Hey, is your little kid next to you? She is so tall and looks so beautiful."

"Wang Liang, remember to kowtow to your ancestors more later."

"Shuangqian, are you eating? Go and burn paper?"

...

In this regard, Wang Dad answered it in a slight manner, and the answer was nothing more than, right, okay, occasionally someone who knew Wang Liang would say hello to him, but he would answer it.

Seriously.

Wang Zhen is really not good at this.

Because he is born with a relatively introvert.

Even after working outside for a few years, it cannot be changed.

This is also why he is preparing to keep Wang Liang by his side.

Because Wang Liang is the kind who is born bold and has strong communication skills, it can be said that there are no nearby villages who don’t know him.

If Wang Liang is left by his side, Wang Zhen can leave his external affairs to him in the future.

After all, my own brother is better than outsiders, and there is no need to worry about cheating me.

The Wang family’s ancestral tomb is in a field on the right opposite the Xiaohe Bridge.

Therefore, after Wang Daddy took the two of them along the road to the fork, he turned to the road leading to the river.

Then, I walked straight through the Little River Bridge, and after walking to the end, I turned right to the end of the ground and turned again.

At this time, the Wang family’s ancestral tomb had already appeared.

It was a graveyard composed of four tombs, buried by the Wang family's grandfather, grandma, uncle, second uncle and uncle Xia.

The grandfather and grandma are the ones with the greatest generation. The two are buried together.

Then there is the old man, Grandpa Wang Zhen’s elder brother.

The second uncle is Wang Zhen’s father’s cousin, the second-ranked one.

As for Uncle Xia, he is also Wang Zhen’s biological uncle and Wang’s father’s younger brother.

Dad Wang has two sisters and one younger brother.

The eldest sister is called Wang Xiao, the second sister is called Wang Juan, and the younger brother is called Wang Xia.

Now both of the two sisters have already started their marriage and have been married to Tianjia Village not far away.

Only my younger brother died of an accident when he was an adult.

This is the pain of the Wang family.
