Qingming happens every year, and Qingming happens again today.

The rain that had lasted for nearly a month finally stopped. The sky was overcast and the ground was wet.

The city is filled with wind and a layer of yarn, and there is no home in the lonely green mountains.

It is expected that for hundreds of years, the body will be made of earth, and the lonely moon in the world will reflect the pear blossoms.

Wang Lin's family walked on the narrow mausoleum road and came to the graves of their parents.

He held the baby in his arms, and the little guy's eyes were wandering around, curiously looking at this place where his old friends lived.

People don’t know where they come from, and they don’t know where they are going. Babies and graves form a sharp contrast between life and death here.

Li Wenxiu hung up paper flags, placed three animals, fruits, and snacks, burned incense and paper to perform divination, and muttered words.

She is obviously a young person, but she understands this set of customs that only old people understand.

These etiquettes were of course passed down from her parents' generation and she learned them through the eyes and ears.

After Li Wenxiu prayed, he cast three hexagrams in a row and said to Wang Lin: "Wang Lin, if you use three hexagrams in a row, everything will be auspicious. If you ask for wealth, you will get wealth, and if you ask for children, you will get children. Please kneel down and worship."

As she spoke, she took the child and asked Wang Lin to kneel down. She held the baby and knelt down in front of the tomb, bowing three times: "Dad, Mom, this is your grandson Wang Wen. I brought him to see you.

.You all are wise and may your baby be smart, grow up healthily, be able to eat and drink, and sleep well every night.”

A gust of wind blew up, and the paper ashes turned into white butterflies, spinning upward.

Li Wenxiu said: "Baby, do you see this? These are your grandparents. They are here to see you."

Wang Lin shuddered and thought, isn't Li Wenxiu talking about ghosts in daylight?

This situation is really a bit desolate.

Cemeteries are all places with good feng shui, with a cool breeze and green fields all around. Weeds emerge from the cracks in the rocks and grow several feet deep.

Wang Lin and the others finished the ceremony and slowly came down the mountain.

"I'm going to Suzhou in the afternoon." Wang Lin said.

"Going to Gusu in the afternoon?" Li Wenxiu said, "Today is the Qingming Festival!"

"What happened to Qingming Festival? I also have to work during Qingming Festival. The Canton Fair will be held in ten days, and I have to be busy again. Taking advantage of this time, I happened to go to the bamboo forest base and several processing factories in Suzhou for a walk."

"Are you going to Zhouzhou?"

"She won't go."

"Oh, okay then. When will you come back?"

“If it’s too late, it’ll be the day after tomorrow, if it’s too soon, it’ll be tomorrow.”

"Be careful when you go out. Wear clothes to keep warm."

"Yeah!" Wang Lin fell down when he was going down the mountain last year. Today he didn't dare to hold the baby when he went down the mountain and let Li Wenxiu hold it.

Li Wenxiu hugs people and walks very carefully. She doesn't look around and looks at the road wholeheartedly.

When I came down from the mountain and looked back, I saw flying paper flags and silent people everywhere.

Wang Lin first sent Li Wenxiu and his son home, had lunch at home, packed their luggage, and then went to Wang's villa.

Shen Xue had already packed up and was waiting for his arrival at home.

Wang Lin saw her cute look with pear blossoms in the rain and red eyes, and knew that she must have cried when she went to visit her parents' graves in the morning.

Shen Xue said: "Wang Lin, I told them all about my relationship with you in front of my parents' graves today. I told them that I will never be sorry to my parents in this life and cannot get married, but I will give birth to a child, no matter what.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl. I ask them to help me get pregnant and give birth smoothly.”

Wang Lin took her into his arms, kissed her face, and said warmly: "I love you, Shen Xue!"

Shen Xuedao: "I love you too, Wang Lin!"

Wang Lin had Uncle Zhong driving the car, so Shen Xue no longer drove her own Bayer, but took the car with Wang Lin.

Three people in a car left Shanghai and drove from the airport to Suzhou.

Wang Lin held Shen Xue's hand.

Shen Xue smiled shyly and quietly pointed to Uncle Zhong who was driving in front of him.

Wang Lin smiled and said: "It's okay. Uncle Zhong is one of our own."

Uncle Zhong heard it from the front and said, "In my eyes, Miss Shen is Mr. Wang's wife."

Shen Xueyan smiled.

Uncle Zhong said: "Mr. Wang, Tang Yumei took her daughter Zhang Xiaowan to Xiangjiang."

Wang Lin asked: "Oh? What is she going to do?"

"She took Zhang Xiaowan to pay homage to Boss Tang. You think this person is weird! When Boss Tang came to see them when he was alive, they refused to recognize each other. Now that Boss Tang has returned to the west, they have to travel all the way to visit them. he."

"Debts are wiped out after death! Once Tang Jixian died, no matter how much he owed Tang Yumei's mother, it was all wiped off. Not only was Tang Yumei's nature not bad, but she was also a very loyal woman, and she was not greedy for money. Such a woman was very It’s rare.”

"Yes. She knows etiquette, justice and shame."

Shen Xue asked: "Who are you talking about?"

Wang Lin told her Tang Yumei's story.

After hearing this, Shen Xue felt a little startled for a moment.

Because like Tang Yumei's mother, she was not married and planned to have children out of wedlock.

Life is a long road, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. If one day in the future, you and Wang Lin are separated, what will you do with your illegitimate son with Wang Lin?

If you can't give your child a complete home, do you really want to be selfish and let your child come into this world?

Shen Xue, who has always wanted a child, suddenly felt at a loss. For the first time, she began to doubt whether her idea of ​​having a child was wise.

Wang Lin seemed to be able to feel the changes and ups and downs of her mood. He put his arms around her slim waist and said, "Are you a little sad? Don't you dare to have a child rashly?"

Shen Xue smiled slightly: "The relationship between us is different. You won't leave me, right?"

"Of course I won't leave you!" Wang Lin replied affirmatively, "Unless you want to leave me."

"No, even if I am confused and say I want to leave you, you must hold me back! Wang Lin, do you understand? Women are easily confused, and break up when they are confused, but in fact they are not true in their hearts. If I want to break up, I just need more love and retention from you."

"Okay. Then I won't leave even if I die!" Wang Lin said with a smile.

"Well, I would rather die than be separated from you."

"It's a big festival, what do you mean by death or aliveness? It's unlucky."

It was the Qingming Festival, and there were many people returning to Suzhou from Shanghai. There were cars coming and going along the way, and even the shuttle buses were obviously more numerous than usual.

When Wang Lin and the others arrived at Linghu Village, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

The Shen family all knew that Wang Lin and Shen Xue would be back today, so they did not go to the mountain to offer sacrifices, but waited for them to come back.

Three days before and three days after Tomb Sweeping Day are fine, but the official days are of course better.

The customs of tomb-sweeping vary from place to place. Some places think that the sun is too strong in the afternoon, so it is best not to go to tomb-sweeping. Others say that tomb-sweeping can be done before the sun sets.

Modern people no longer pay so much attention to it, and there are many people sweeping tombs in the afternoon. As long as you have time and have filial piety, it will be enough.

The Shen family got ready and went up the mountain together.

Shen Xue rarely goes home to visit her grandfather's grave.

Before going home, she got ready and put on a pair of sneakers for hiking.

The road up the mountain is only a narrow dirt road, and it has rained so the road is wet. There are leaves in some places, making it easy to slip. People have to hold on to the bushes on the roadside to walk steadily.

Shen Xue walked carefully, and was concerned that Wang Lin had not climbed the mountain road: "Wang Lin, be careful! Don't fall."

Wang Lin said: "I'm fine, just hold on tight."

Although Grandma Shen is old, she walks this mountain road very smoothly because she often walks on it.

The mountain is not high, and the tomb is halfway up the mountain, but it took the group twenty minutes to climb there.

Wang Lin really rarely climbs mountains. After he came up, he panted slightly and said, "We should build a road up here. When grandma gets older, it will be difficult to climb up again."

Shen Wenwu smiled and said: "As long as you have money, building roads is easy."

Wang Lin said: "Second uncle, if you are at home, if you have time, organize people to build this road. I will pay for it no matter how much it costs."

Shen Wenwu smiled and said, "That's easy! If you come back next year to sweep the tomb, there will definitely be a good road for you. Dig it up step by step and pave it into a stone road, which is stronger than a cement road."

Wang Lin said: "Yes, it will be paved with stones!"

Shen Wenlue spread out several large firecrackers and lit them.

There was a crackling sound, accompanied by billowing smoke, rising into the sky.

The air is filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

Lu Guihua and Qiao Lianhong arranged the sacrifices, Grandma Shen officiated, and the juniors stepped forward to salute one by one.

The Shen family bought a lot of paper money and burned piles of them. It took more than ten minutes to finish.

Let's wait until all the paper money is burned before going down the mountain.

Going down the mountain is harder than going up!

Shen Xue held Wang Lin's hand tightly, and the two of them supported her as they walked slowly down the mountain through the bushes.

It was also very dangerous here, because the moss and leaves on the ground were the slipperiest, so the two of them grabbed the bushes and didn't dare to let go.

After going down the mountain, the weather has turned late and night has fallen.
