Chapter 350: Going to the Grave (Part 1)
It was almost noon, and everyone had already pasted all the couplets and flowers on the doors and windows, leaving only a couplet at the door of Canghai's study room without pasting them. They were waiting for Canghai to get a handwritten couplet back.
Shi Wei heard the sound and went out the door. She saw a roll of white paper rolled under Canghai's arm. She was walking back excitedly. She was just a little fox who had stole a chicken. So she smiled and asked, "What's so happy? By the way, you didn't want a couplet back?"
Cang Hai waved his hand at Shi Wei and said proudly: "What's the point of couplets or couplets? I've got two good things from the two old men!"
Before he finished speaking, Canghai looked at the door of the kiln in his study room and asked curiously: "Why is there no sticker on the door of the study room?"
Shi Wei smiled and said, "Are you waiting for you to get the couplet back? Why do you blame us for not posting it?"
Cang Hai shouted at the top of his throat: "Peace, peace!"
"Hey, what's the matter with the second brother?" Ping An quickly stretched out of the kitchen and asked at Canghai.
Cang Hai reached out and pointed at the entrance of the kiln in his study: "Press the couplet!"
"Where is the couplet?" Ping'an looked at Canghai curiously, and he also thought Canghai had asked for the couplet back.
Cang Hai said: "Press whatever you plan to post in the morning!"
After saying that, he took Shi Wei's hand and carried the kiln door curtain in the study room, walked into the study room, and went to the study room and spread the two ink treasures under his arm directly on the desk.
"This word is so beautiful!" The two words on Shi Wei's table immediately praised.
Although he had no research on calligraphy, Shi Wei saw that the words on the desk were neat and had a transcendent beauty, and couldn't help but praise him.
Cang Hai smiled and said, "I didn't expect that this old man Xu is still a master of calligraphy. Look at the words written, maybe we can change our son's house to marry a wife in the Demon City in the future."
"What are you talking about?" Shi Wei's face turned red. Although she had already lived a married life with Canghai, Shi Wei couldn't help but blush every time she mentioned this.
Canghai didn't care much. Now he was admiring Mo Bao Ailian, the old man Xu Sheng's on the table, said with a smile while watching, saying that he had made money this time.
In fact, Cang Hai did make a profit. Mr. Xu Sheng's handwriting is very good. Although he is not well-known among the public and does not boast about the famous calligraphy and calligraphy outside, he still has a great reputation in the real calligraphy and painting circle. The price of his works is not low. Moreover, the key is that Xu Sheng's family is rich and does not rely on selling characters to make a living, so there are very few characters left.
Not to mention Canghai's special character, even the couplets in the hands of the villagers can be sold for 8,000 yuan, not to mention Canghai's famous and formal work. Now, it is not necessary to exchange for a car worth 300,000 yuan, but once Mr. Xu travels to the West, such a work can at least be replaced with a top-end Lu Xun.
After enjoying the words, Canghai happily read the works of Qu Guowei below. The old man wrote a passage from Zeng Guofan's letter to Canghai: People's hearts can be calm, but even if there is a change, there is nothing to do. If you are not quiet, you will live in your spare time, and you will be calm. Quiet in your heart, not in the environment.
"Although it's a little worse, it can still be sold for two dollars! It's considered to be a business for the children and grandchildren!" Cang Hai said to himself with satisfaction.
When Shi Wei heard this, she immediately had the urge to cover her head, thinking that why this person was like this? Now she had nothing, so she started to buy a property for her children and grandchildren.
"How do you know it's a son?" Shi Wei said to Cang Hai.
Cang Hai smiled and closed the words on the table: "I'll give birth to a few more people, I won't believe it. God doesn't like me so much, so he won't give me a son?"
"I didn't expect you to prefer boys over girls!" Shi Wei looked at Cang Hai with a little disgustedness.
Cang Hai said: "Who said I only have a son? I have at least two children. If possible, we can have as many children as possible. When we inherit the family business, we can also give me some room to pick and pick up!"
After hearing this, Shi Wei said again: "How many more, do you have the throne of your family that needs to be inherited?"
Cang Hai smiled and said, "Although I don't have a throne, there are things that are much more precious than the throne. As long as my children and grandchildren are not too useless, they can always stutter and even live a good life."
"Oh, I didn't expect you to have this treasure. Take it out and let me see it!" Shi Wei thought Cang Hai was talking nonsense, so she asked with a smile.
Cang Hai immediately shook his head and said, "Not appropriate, not right! This thing is passed on to men but not women, and the son but not daughter-in-law. Although you are the daughter-in-law of the Cang family, you have no chance to meet you!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Get your stuff up quickly and go to cook. After dinner, we have to go to the grave." Shi Wei didn't have the intention to continue talking nonsense with Cang Hai. After saying that, she twisted her waist and walked out the door.
Canghai passed two words and put them into the bamboo box. Then he thought for a while and put them in his own space. He waited for someone to find someone to frame the two words when he went to the Magic City next time, and then hang them in the study to fill the storefront.
After putting away the calligraphy and paintings, Canghai went out and when he arrived at the kitchen, he found that Ping An had already started to knead him.
I was preparing to eat noodles at noon. How could Canghai’s family lack vegetables, meat, etc.? Seeing Ping An reconcile the noodles, Canghai rolled up his sleeves and started rolling the noodles. Ping An took action next to him, and his godmother Xu Xiaomin and Qi Yue were choosing vegetables next to him.
There is no need to eat noodles, so everyone must eat them around the table, so the first pot of noodles was ready, and the first group of people started eating. Canghai continued to put the first pot of noodles, and it took half an hour to eat this meal.
Seeing that Shi Wei was still trying to wash dishes, Xu Xiaomin immediately spoke out and said, "You guys go and go, I'll do the work of washing dishes."
Shi Wei said: "It doesn't take much time. All the things to visit the grave are ready, just pick them up and leave."
Xu Xiaomin pushed Shi Wei away: "Go early and come back early. It snowed heavily outside for two consecutive days. It will definitely be difficult to walk on the road. You and Canghai will go. Can I still do this little work?"
Hearing Xu Xiaomin say this, Shi Wei shook the water on her hand, wiped it on her apron, then untied it and hung it on the hook: "Then I'll go."
"Go!" Xu Xiaomin said as he started washing dishes quickly.
When Shi Wei arrived outside, Canghai and Ping'an had already set up the sled. Not only Canghai wanted to visit the grave, Ping'an, as the eldest grandson of the Hu family, could not escape the grave. Although he has established a new household now, his ancestors cannot change it, so after helping Canghai to sort it out, Ping'an turned his head to his grandfather's house, waiting for the whole family to visit the grave together.
There were only two people who went to visit the grave of Canghai's family, Canghai and Shi Wei. Mengmeng, the little girl Canghai, was not going to take Mengmeng to visit the grave. Isn't it a big trouble for my father? Moreover, even if his daughter did not visit the grave on New Year's Eve, this year it was considered that Shi Wei and Zhang married to the Cang family as his wife, so he was a must. By the next year's Eve, Shi Wei didn't need to come.
This thing is considered a feudal remnant, but Canghai doesn't plan to change anything, anyway, it's up to the old rules.
With a large bag of small bags, Shi Wei checked and checked, and then she sat on the sledge, hugged two baskets containing offerings and fire candles, indicating that Canghai could leave.
After urging the ugly donkey, Canghai headed towards the entrance of the village. When he passed by the kiln at San Uncle's house, he heard the third uncle call him. Canghai stopped the sled and saw that San Uncle walked out of the house carrying a basket of offerings.
"Are you going to the grave?"
Seeing Canghai nodding, Uncle San said, "Just take us with you!"
After saying that, he put the basket in his hand on the sled and shouted into the kiln: "Little bastard, hurry up, it's still hard to go to the grave."
Cang Henan ran out of the kiln rashly, and said while running: "Here, come!"
"Who are you calling? It takes half an hour to call. The phone bill doesn't cost you?" Cang Shiyuan said to his son.
Cang Henan climbed into the car, sat firmly and said, "Dad, I'm not calling, I don't need to pay for the phone bill when chatting on WeChat, what do you know?"
Cang Shiyuan heard this and said, "Talk with your phone in your hand, charge the electricity several times a day, and the electricity bill at home is not expensive!"
Cang Henan gave his father speechlessly: "You are so good!"
Canghai smiled and drove the ugly donkey to continue on the road. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he met Wei Wenkui's family who also visited the grave. Wei Wenkui's family sat on the sled. There was a whole family of people. Although Wei Changli was a girl, Wei Wenkui's younger brother Wei Wenhong had only one daughter. If she didn't visit the grave, no one would visit the grave.
Two sledges walked side by side, and the people on the sledges naturally began to chat.
"Brother Wenkui, I think it's better to let Changli recruit a son-in-law!" Cang Shiyuan glanced at Wei Changli and said to Wei Wenkui.
Wei Wenkui nodded and said, "I mean that, Changli agreed, but the two young men who met before the New Year were not very satisfied. I was not satisfied. They looked so slick and uneasy, and they dyed their hair. You said you are not a woman either. A man who is several feet tall dyed like a big rooster. No matter how you look at it, it is awkward. Men have to be a little rough..."
Cang Shiyuan smiled and said, "This is popular now!"
"That can't be done with men and women. What I don't like the most is a man with earrings." Wei Wenkui said angrily: "Now what kind of bad things are played on TV? A good child is being taken away by bad children, and even those who are neither men nor women can be on TV?..."
"Big, that's called fashion! You don't understand!" Wei Changhao said in a dispute.
Wei Wenkui turned his head and glared at his son: "It's not fashionable, it's also fashionable to be neither male nor female? The eunuchs who served the emperor in the palace used to be the most fashionable, and they were serious, so do you want to learn?"
Wei Wenkui's words made everyone on the sledges amused.
The older generation can't see some of the current trends. As for Canghai, it's just that it has nothing to do with me. But if Canghai's children want to be so fashionable, Canghai will definitely not mind slapping them, and will kick out the heirs who have been in the family after repeated attempts.
A straight man in steel!
"How are you doing with blind dates?" Cang Hai turned the topic to Wei Changsheng and Wei Changhao.
I said that it was a blind date season before the New Year, and there was no such thing as Sijiaping Village, but now the kids in Sijiaping Village are also popular in all villages.
When Wei Wenkui heard this, he became even more angry: "Don't mention these two bastards, I think there are two girls who are pretty good. Who knows that one of them looks down on them? They look down on them but they look down on them. You say these two bad things! What's the use of this girl's face? She can eat and drink. If you get married, you have to marry a big butt and have a good life..."
He turned around and wanted to scold his son, but Wei Wenkui saw Shi Wei at a glance. He felt that he had said the wrong thing and immediately explained: "Doctor Shi, I'm not talking about you!"
Shi Wei smiled and waved her hand: "It's okay uncle!"
Shi Wei's appearance is not something that can be described as beautiful, and she can directly mark the kind of disaster. Wei Wenkui's mouth said before was useless to look good-looking. Now there is a beautiful face next to her. Can't he explain it?
Cang Shiyuan said at this time: "Looking for a wife is virtuous, and looks are secondary. Why do you find a woman? Isn't it just that you can get a woman after finishing your day's work and have a person who knows the cold and the hot at home? Marrying a woman is not a fairy. Even if you are a fairy, you have to have the ability and you have to be a god. Why don't the fairy take a fancy to you?..."
When Wei Wenkui heard that it was exactly what I wanted, he slapped his thigh: "It's not like this, the two little kids just don't understand this..."
