February 4, 2000, the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve.Zhujiagou Village is located in Baishan Township, Lianshan County.This is a real mountain village, located in a ravine within the range of the Kashiwa Mountains, and it is said to be a ravine, but it is actually relatively wide.The small mountain village is sparsely populated, with about 100 households, and An Zishan clearly remembers the old house, the old house where his grandfather and grandmother lived, the low stone courtyard wall and the stone house.An Zishan remembered that in his previous life, he was 1.8 meters tall when he entered the house, and he needed to keep his head down, the door frame of the inner room was only more than 1.7 meters, the roof beams were also very low, and the house was dark and dim.The windows on the wall are boxy, not yet a square in size.The houses in Zhujiagou Village are built on the hillside, and the layers are getting higher and higher, and the old houses are in the middle of the hillside.An Jiaye rode a bicycle along the dirt road at the head of the village and slowly entered the village, just after entering the village, he met an old man who An Zishan did not know, An Jiaye hurriedly stopped the bicycle, the muscles on his cheekbones rose up, and shouted happily: "Uncle, what are you doing here?"
”The old man leaned on his back, leaned on crutches, and slowly raised his head when he heard the sound, and after seeing An Jiaye standing beside him, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and An Zishan did not see a single tooth in his slightly open mouth."
Oh, the family business is back, go to the grave of the great?"
The old man said with a trembling smile.An Jiaye hurriedly stepped forward, held the old man's right arm with both hands and said softly: "Well, this is not Chinese New Year's Eve today, come back and burn a big paper." ”The old man smiled kindly, looked at An Zishan on the side and said, "This is Lushan?"
It's all grown so tall. ”An Jiaye said with a smile: "Yes, yes, this is the second eldest of my family, and the eldest is even higher." ”After speaking, he turned his head to look at An Zishan and shouted, "Xiaoshan, call grandpa." ”An Zishan immediately shouted obediently and sensibly: "Grandpa has a good New Year." ”"Good, good, haha!"
Hearing An Zishan's greeting, the old man smiled very happily, and An Jiaye chatted with him for a while and said, "Uncle, I'm busy first, I still have to go to Houlin." ”"Uh-huh, you go, go ahead."
An Jiaye smiled, took An Zishan and rode away on the bicycle.Along the way, An Jiaye greeted people passing by from time to time, and these people An Zishan basically didn't know, and occasionally a few familiar people forgot what to call them.An Zishan watched silently, sometimes turning his head to look around, and some scenes and fragments that had sunk in his memory slowly revived in his mind.An Jiaye did not return to the old house, because at this time the old house was no longer inhabited, and within two years after An Zishan's grandfather died, his grandmother's health began to deteriorate, and he should have lived in his aunt's house at this time.Now, it is not clear which aunt's house An Zishan is in.An Jiaye took him directly along the dirt road in the middle of the village into the mountain, the road into the mountain was very long and very bumpy, about three kilometers away, and the brothers had to ride bicycles to the grave before they bought a car in their previous life.If you can't ride the road, you can walk until An Ziliang bought a Hyundai IX35 in 2010, but at that time the road in the village was also repaired, and Baishan Township built a hundred fruit orchards in the back forest of Zhujiagou Village in order to further develop Baishan.Therefore, the dirt road into the mountain was built into a cement pavement, and then you can drive all the way to the back forest when you go to the grave.The two of them swayed and walked towards the back forest, and it was not easy to walk on too many slopes, so An Jiaye had no choice but to push forward.While walking, An Jiaye glanced at his son on the side, thought for a while, and said, "Xiaoshan, wait for us to come back and sit at your godmother's house." ”An Zishan was stunned, stopped suddenly, and said in surprise: "Huh?
Dad, is my godmother still alive?
”As soon as the words came out, An Jiaye's complexion changed, ugly, frightened, and panicked, and he said in a trembling voice: "She is still alive, why is she what's wrong?"
”An Zishan was stunned, looked at his father with a complicated face, and said in a deep voice: "In the dream I had, my godmother died in a car accident when I was in junior high school, just from the road at the head of the village. ”"Because it's been so long, I can't remember the exact time, but I remember when I was in junior high school."
An Jiaye's face was extremely ugly, and he said with a worried face: "Junior high school?
Then you're in the fourth year of junior high school now, and the next semester will be next year, Xiaoshan, think about it seriously, what else can you think of?
”An Zishan frowned deeply, thought about it seriously, and said slowly after a while: "Dad, I really can't remember the specific time, but I remember listening to you adults at the time, the car accident happened at night, and it seems that the eldest mother went to the roadside to burn paper and give it to the road god." ”"Burning paper?
At night?
Could it be this time, before and after the year?
Don't burn paper to the road god at other times!
”An Jiaye furrowed his brows and muttered to himself with a change in his face.An Zishan thought about it again, shook his head and said slowly: "It's not this time, I remember that I was in class at that time, and I took two days off to attend my godmother's funeral." ”After saying this, An Jiaye's face softened, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, that's good, there's still time, there's still time." ”An Zishan smiled bitterly: "Dad, even if we know, what can we do?"
We don't know exactly what day it is, how to do it?
”An Jiaye also looked sad, looked at him in a daze for a while and said, "Let's go first, think about it while walking."
You may not know if you are young, but the day of worshipping the road god is almost past the first month, the fifth day of the first month in some places, and the twelfth day of the first month in some places. ”An Zishan was stunned and wondered: "So, what happened on the day of the sacrifice to the god of the road?"
”An Jiaye nodded and sighed: "Eight or nine is not far from ten, our place is the fifteenth day of the first month to worship the god of the road, and you will start school on the sixteenth, if there is a car accident, you can't send the funeral to the funeral on the same day, and the next day at the earliest."
So, you're taking time off. ”An Zishan was stunned, his lips trembled slightly, I don't know if it was frozen or other reasons, at this time, for the first time, he had the feeling of being reborn and using the information of his previous life to change the fate of others.This change is different from An Ziliang's high school and An Jiaye's entry into the Highway Bureau.It's saving a living life!
An Jiaye's face was complicated, he looked at his son in a daze, and said angrily: "I know that it will be easy to do that day, it's okay, leave this matter to me, I will come that day, no matter what method is used, I will not let her go to the village to burn paper on the side of the road." ”An Zishan nodded with a stunned face, and before he came back to his senses, An Jiaye sighed and said, "Let's go, let's hurry up and finish the grave, and when we go home, we have to go to the grave for the mother." ”After speaking, An Jiaye pushed the bicycle forward, An Zishan followed behind him step by step, and after a while, he came back to his senses, and there was still an indescribable feeling lingering in his heart.Twenty minutes later, the two stood in front of An Zishan's grandfather's grave, and An Jiadong also arrived in Houlin alone.This tomb was built in the field of an unknown family, and at this time the field had been planted with wintering wheat, which was very rare, and it was close to the heel of the tomb.An Jiaye circled around the grave, his face was gloomy and ugly, and he scolded and said: "This land of An Fengqing's family is really good, you have to plant this little land, you have to plant it in the grave, and there is not even a place to burn paper." ”An Zishan stood silently in the wintering wheat field, with a wry smile on his face, the cemetery in the countryside has always been like this, built in the farmland, and the talkative people will leave a circle of open space around the grave, and the unreasonable ones will be planted in front of the grave.He also can't remember what the beginning of his previous life was, the country began to implement the policy of changing customs and cremation, and later a cemetery was built on the east ridge of Anzhuang Village, and all the graves were moved.It's just that until An Zishan was reborn, there was no change on Zhujiagou's side, and the cemetery was still in the farmland.After scolding a few words with an ugly face, An Jiaye put the basket containing wine and vegetables in front of the grave, where there was a stone slab, which should be used for worship.After sandwiching the dishes on the stone slab, An Jiaye took out a bottle of Lianshan liquor from the basket with a complicated face, took out two wine cups, filled the two wine cups, and muttered: "Big, I know that you love to drink two sips, your family was poor before, and you didn't drink much, drink more today, it's the New Year, it's another year!"
”"Look at it, the little grandsons are so old, the big grandsons are taller, they study better, and now they are all in high school.""
You must not have imagined, big, I have now entered the Highway Bureau, served an iron rice bowl, and I may become the vice president of the project next year.The daughter-in-law planted the vegetable garden bigger, more than 100 acres, and the county also set up a vegetable planting demonstration base brand, which was very good. ”"The vegetables are easy to sell, and she is not so tired, didn't you miss the hardships of my life before?
Reform and opening up, the country's development is getting better and better, and now the days are getting better and better, and the family can afford to eat meat" An Zishan stood silently behind his father who was kneeling on the ground, listening to his father chattering there, tears somehow flowed down his cheeks, and smashed on the wintering wheat, splashing ice flowers.At this time, An Zishan suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, he turned his head with teary eyes, and saw An Jiadong carrying a basket and walking over slowly, looking at him from afar with a humble smile on his face.
