Chapter 94: Your Father's Heart Is Bitter Xia Kucao nodded, after the next exam, it will be Qingming.
When she heard that the people in the old mansion didn't use it, Xia Kucao was happy, so she didn't want to worship her ancestors with the people in the old mansion.
This will Xia Gui and Liu take machetes and hoes to clean up the weeds around the grave, Xia Kucao put the two sisters in the basket, and then also took the machete to cut the grass on the side.
In fact, there are two people buried here, one is Xia Tongsheng's grandfather, the other is Xia Tongsheng's father, and the others are well-dressed.
Xia Hong's tomb is one of them, next to Xia Tongsheng's father, a wooden plaque stands, with three simple characters on it, Xia Hong's tomb.
After all the weeds were cleared, it took a lot of time, and the Prunella family set off at dawn, and now the sun was at full swing, and it was close to noon.
Xia Kucao helped her father and mother put the chicken, the meat that was divided early in the morning and the wild fruits picked on the road, as well as three bowls of rice, three pairs of chopsticks, and then took out three small cups, each of which poured a little wine.
Liu knelt on the side to burn the paper money, Xia Gui knelt silently, and kept chanting words in his mouth, Xia Kucao could hear that her father was talking about the next thing.
After a while, Liu also came over with the child and asked Xiaoyu and Herbal Tea to kneel, but the one-year-old child didn't know how to kneel, so Prunella Cao let Xiaoyu and Herbal Tea sit and kneel on the side.
After being reborn, Xia Kucao believes in ghosts and gods, so this time she knelt in front of the ancestral tomb, her little face was very serious, and she had been chanting words in her heart, but it was impossible for Xia Kucao to say these words.
Xia Kucao didn't know much about Grandfather Xia, but he knew from others that he was a good person, and during his lifetime, the people in the village respected him very much.
Now that their three rooms have been divided and passed on to Xia Hong, they still respect Great-Ancestor Xia and Grandfather Xia.
After worshipping Xia great-grandfather and Xia's grandfather, Xia Kucao's family worshiped Xia Hong's grave again, here, Xia Kucao's words are more, she hopes that Xia Hong's grandfather will bless their family in the sky, bless his father and mother to give birth to a son, and let Xia Hong's grandfather have a successor.
After worshipping the ancestors, Xia Kucao's family went down the mountain, and everyone didn't talk much all the way, Xia Kucao knew that this would be a lot of things in the hearts of his parents.
As soon as Xia Kucao returned home, Liu Kui had already been invited to the village chief's house for dinner, and Liu was tired and panting.
Xia Gui used a hoe to carry the ancestors on one side and his two daughters on the other.
And the Liu family only carried the machete, and Xia Kucao didn't take anything, it stands to reason that Xia Gui should be the most tired, but the Liu family is obviously more tired than Xia Gui.
Xia Kucao said: "Daddy, you can rest, I'll cook." ” Xia Gui said to Liu: "Hurry up and cook, the grass is still young." ” Liu also remembered it, but he felt very tired, and said to Xia Gui: "You let me take a breath, I don't know why, I feel tired and panicked." ” "Then you have a good rest, look at the light rain herbal tea, and I'll help Cao'er light the fire."
Saying that, Xia Gui walked towards the kitchen.
Liu Shi carried the little raincoat and herbal tea to the bed, and when he lay down, he felt that his eyes were a little heavy, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and fall asleep.
When Xia Kucao and Xia Gui made a simple meal and came out, they saw that Liu and Xiaoyu Herbal Tea were asleep, and they didn't know whether to wake up Liu for a while.
On the way, they ate, Xia Kucao thought that Liu's got up early in the morning to steam steamed buns, thinking that Liu's worked every day, and getting up so early, it was tiring enough, and she didn't think much about it.
"Dad, let my mother sleep, let's eat first, leave some for my mother to heat in the pot when the time comes, and my mother can eat when she wakes up."
As soon as Xia Kucao's words fell, Xia Gui nodded, "Also, if you are hungry, you won't sleep for long." ” At that moment, Xia Gui said to Xia Kucao again: "Go and see if your uncle is there, and ask your uncle to come over for dinner." ” Xia Kucao obediently went over, but Liu Kui was not in the house, so he had to inquire, knowing that Liu Kui had eaten at the village chief's house, Xia Kucao came back to eat with Xia Gui.
"Dad, Uncle Tai is having dinner at the village chief's house, let's eat first, and then call Uncle Tai to come over for dinner in the evening."
Prunella Road.
Xia Gui nodded, and said to Xia Kucao: "Your uncle likes to eat pig scalp and pig ears the most, and my father likes it too, this is the most delicious." ” As soon as he heard Xia Gui mention the wine, Xia Kucao said: "Dad, don't worry, you have to drink tonight, I made a special trip to drink wine for you and your uncle in the tavern." ” Ouch, Xia Gui was happy when he heard it, and hurriedly said, "Dad can also drink two sips now." ” "Okay, I'll go get a drink for my father."
Xia Kucao hurriedly went into the room to get wine, which was the wine she gave to Xia Gui and Liu Kui in the tavern.
Xia Gui actually drank two sips of wine, but there were no conditions when he was in the Xia family before, but now that the family is separated, Xia Kucao will come back from the county town from time to time to drink some wine for Xia Gui to drink.
As soon as Xia Gui drinks, he talks a lot, and he always likes to talk about the past, although the current days are getting better and better, but Xia Gui is also uncomfortable.
Prunella also understands her father, she is not liked by her family, she is disgusted, abandoned and rejected, and her father feels uncomfortable.
But her father is as good as that, that is, he is drunk and drunk, and although he talks a lot, he will fall asleep when he is drunk.
So with the connivance of Xia Kucao, Xia Gui got drunk, broke his thoughts, and woke up the Liu family.
As soon as Liu Shi saw Xia Gui drunk like this, he had a headache at the moment, "Cao'er, why did you let your father drink so much wine, why didn't you stop your father." ” Xia Kucao smiled, and was about to speak, when she saw her father holding her mother's thigh, and cried bitterly.
Originally, Prunella wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh, only Xia Gui's suppressed cry, Prunella felt sad inexplicably, and tears condensed in her eyes.
Liu said: "What are you crying for the New Year, it's unlucky." ” So the Liu family coaxed Xia Gui back to the room to lie down, Xia Kucao cleaned up the table and went to wash the dishes, and when he saw the Liu family come out, he said, "Mother, is my father sleeping?"
” "Yes, sleep, your father, my heart is bitter."
Saying that, Liu sighed.
Xia Kucao brought out Liu's food and asked Liu, "Then mother, what about yourself?"
” Liu Shi was silent, "My mother is also a miserable person, and if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, so I have been holding on, I am afraid that if I have an accident, you will be sad."
Fortunately, my stepmother didn't sell me elsewhere, and being able to marry your father is a little bitter, but it's also good. ” Prunella didn't know what to say for a while, and it was not easy for everyone.
"Mother, your mother's side hasn't come to look for you, has it?"
Prunella asked.
Liu shook his head, "What are you looking for me to do, I came here once before, and I was scolded by your grandmother." ” Xia Kucao nodded, thinking in her heart that when she was in the old mansion, her mother could not protect herself, how could she take care of her mother's family, let alone sell her mother's family.
