Chapter 5049 This year, I only hope for peace
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, worship ancestors in the New Year.
This is the inheritance rules of Suzhuang in history, and every household will abide by them. No matter how time changes or how people's hearts float, no one dares to shake this inheritance, and no one is willing to change it. They are silently abiding by and defending it in their hearts.
The same is true for the Su Mu family.
However, this year's ancestor worship is different from previous years. The person who finally talks with his ancestors at the ancestral tomb is not Ye Cuilan, but Su Laoshi.
Ye Xi and Su Ke and the others also returned home, leaving only Su Mu, and An Jing stood beside him like a pillar.
Persuading Su Zhongshi to leave? Don’t even think about it. Su Zhongshi is a person with conservative blood flowing in his bones.
No one can change what he knew. He had an unimaginable persistence in worshiping ancestors, believing that only when the words said at this time could the ancestors hear them.
Su Laoshi spread a full glass of wine on the ground, his hands fell down, and knelt in front of the graves, looking at the graves, a kind of remembrance appeared on his old face, and a little strong sorrow was condensed between his wrinkled eyebrows.
"Grandpa and grandma, mom and dad, and ancestors I have never met before. I am Su Hushi, the Su family, and are your descendants."
"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is the most important festival and ancestor worship day in our Suzhuang in history. I am here to talk to you."
"I know you are very lonely there. If you want to hear about this, I will talk to you very well today."
"Our Su family has a descendant, and my son Su Mu also has a son. His name is Su Qiji, and he is the eldest grandson of our Su family."
"That little guy was very fat when he was born. He was a very cute big fat boy. I think Su Qiji will definitely be better than his father in the future. He can bear the glory of our Su family. You don't have to worry about the lack of a descendant of the Su family there."
When he said this, Su Laoshi paused a little, and a sadness suddenly appeared on his face, "My mom and dad, this is for you and the two elders. In fact, you should have received the news there. There are many people leaving our village this winter, some of your generation, and some of them being the younger generation. More than a dozen people left, making our Suzhuang deserted."
Su Mu's expression became solemn after a slight stunned. This was the first time he heard this news, and he had never heard from his parents before.
Just say that when I went home this time, I felt that my parents were feeling a little depressed, and it turned out that Gen'er was here.
Suzhuang was originally a small village, and if so many people were gone at once, you can imagine how Su Laoshi and Ye Cuilan could get better.
Among these people who died, there must be peers from their parents, and even playmates who have a good relationship with them. Now, the Yin and Yang are separated by this.
The most difficult thing between people is separation of life and death.
I was still a person who met and joked yesterday, but I can never meet again today. Thinking about that kind of scene makes people heartbreaking and depressed.
Especially the Spring Festival will add a little more sorrow. Thinking of this, Su Mu became more and more silent.
"My parents, I know what your two elders would say to me if they were alive. They definitely wanted me to take care of themselves. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of themselves. I will never let my body collapse. I also have to watch Dandan get married and have children."
"Su Ke, even your granddaughter, has already been married. Although Xiao Ke's marriage has some twists and turns, now we can finally get happiness and happiness."
"I am satisfied with seeing her live a stable life. What else can I have? This is my greatest hope."
"My parents, I just burned money for you. Don't be reluctant to leave it there. If you have money, spend it. If you don't have money, please send me a dream. I will definitely burn it as soon as possible."
...
Su Houshi just talked in a nagging manner.
While listening quietly beside Su Mu stood behind him and saw the white hair on Su Laoshi's head, he suddenly felt inexplicably sad.
It is said that raising children to prevent old age, and it is said that parents are not traveling far away, but how do they do it themselves?
All he did was to be loyal and filial, but even if he was unable to achieve both of both, he would feel indescribable shame and sadness when he saw this scene.
When he was not a father before, even if Su Mu could understand Su Houshi, it would be superficial.
But now that he became his father, when he thought of his concern for Su Qiji and put his heart in mind, he could feel Su's honest mood back then.
Family affection that is thicker than water is never cut off.
"Dad, grandparents and ancestors have heard you, and they will bless us." Su Mu knelt down next to Su Shi, while comforting her, and kowtowed respectfully in front of the graves. When she lifted up again, her face was filled with solemnity.
"The ancestors and the unfilial descendants of the Su family, Su Mu, are ashamed of the Su family's family motto. I have never been able to be a filial son well. Since I started working, I have rarely had time to stay at home to accompany my parents."
"No matter how many reasons you have, it's all my fault. I'm making a New Year's wish in front of you. This year, I hope that my family will be safe, healthy and healthy, and I will take more time to go home to fulfill my filial piety. Next year, I will bring Su Qi's opportunity to come over and let you all see our descendants of the Su family."
After the conversation was over, Su Laoshi and Su Mu, the father and son, slowly stood up from the ground. Instead of leaving, they began to organize and repair the graves.
"Xiao Mu, don't say anything to your mother about what I just said. Your mother looks very strong, but actually very fragile."
"You don't know that after knowing that so many people have left our village, her spirit is about to collapse. This is not an exaggeration at all."
"Among those who left, there are your sixth aunt and your third grandmother. They have a very good relationship with your mother. They usually talk and laugh at home, but now they can't see each other again."
"And what your mother has been worried about is that she couldn't personally send them through the last journey until the day of the burial."
"Thinking about this in a person's life is that way. What can he do if he is rich? Don't he still have to be buried in the ground when he is about to come?"
"So Xiao Mu, I have something to discuss with you. Do you think you will prepare a coffin for us while my mother and I are still alive? In this way..."
Su Hushi was muttering and silly, but before he could say the rest, he was immediately interrupted by Su Mu. He stood in front of his father, stared into Su Hushi's eyes, and said seriously.
"Dad, I understand everything you said just now. I also know that Mom is a fragile person. I can tell you something that I won't say to her."
"But don't mention your words just now. There is no problem with your mother's health. It's okay to live as long as you live. It's the New Year, and it's nonsense to prepare a coffin in advance. Don't mention it again."
"You just said that you should take good care of yourself and do what you say when you watch Dandan get married and have children."
Su looked at the solemn expression on Su Mu's face honestly, nodded with emphasis, and the wrinkles that were wrinkled together also stretched out, and said with a smile: "Dad just now was talking nonsense, just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
"You are right. Your mother and I must live well. We must watch Dandan get married and have children, and we must see our family live a more prosperous life. Let's go, we should go home for dinner."
"good!"
The father and son turned around and began to return to Suzhuang.
Su Mu did not mention what happened just now. He knew that Su Chen was touched and said that.
It is the wisest thing to pretend that you have never heard of it and have not seen it. If you really talk about it on your own initiative, it will only make Mr. Su feel more complicated.
When we were about to arrive in Suzhuang, Su Mu suddenly said, "Dad, I have an idea. Look, I'm all the people in our village are at home during the Chinese New Year. Can we invite people of our generation to the county town for a meal?"
"One is to be able to contact each other; two, everyone is from the same village after all, and I am away all year round. If something happens to my family, someone will have to take care of me."
"Are you talking about a primary school class reunion?" Su Laoshi casually stroked the head of a child passing by and asked.
"right."
"Okay, you should take the initiative to hold it. Our family doesn't have that little money, so you should take the lead in doing this. Speaking of which, there are still many young men in this class, and they are all at home."
"That's it. If you want to hold a party, just wait for the fourth and fifth day of the lunar month. People have to visit relatives before this." Su Houshi has never opposed this matter. Such gatherings in a village are beneficial.
Just as Su Mu said, he was not in the village for many years, and he always had to thank others for helping with things in the village.
"Okay, I'll arrange this."
After returning home, Su Mu started celebrating the New Year. His family was in constant streams for three consecutive days, and many people came to pay New Year's greetings. Of course, Su Mu was not unable to go out, but took Ye Xi and Su Qi to pay New Year's greetings too. In this way, he came to the fourth day of the New Year.
That morning, Su Mu had just returned from running outside and walked towards him a middle-aged man in his thirties. Look at his figure, his beer belly is erect, and his head is big. Everyone knows that his life is good.
After seeing Su Mu, his eyes lit up and he walked forward quickly.
"Su Mu, you are really back for the New Year!"
"Su Leiyu, it's you!" Su Mu and Su Leiyu shook hands and shouted with a smile.
"Damn it, if I hadn't seen you here and I wouldn't have recognized you when I met you outside, you'd have changed so much, right?"
"I used to be a bamboo pole, but now it has become a round barrel! Your kid's life is good, and you live a very comfortable life!"
Su Leiyu is Su Mu's elementary school classmate. They are still classmates and have not changed for six years. They can be said to be ferromagnetic.
However, after entering junior high school, Su Leiyu did not stay in the same school as Su Mu, so he separated. However, at that time, he could meet several times every winter and summer vacation.
I didn’t really meet, and it was Su Mu who was in college. So far, it seems that he hasn’t encountered it in several years.
It’s a fate to see it today!
