Chapter 189
[I don’t know. I’ll ask my parents when I get home.]
Wen Jiunian: [OK!]
He was not in a hurry. The reason he asked this was simply because his grandfather was getting older and his birthday was more important every year, so he would invite some relatives and friends to celebrate together.
However, we live in a building, which cannot accommodate so many relatives, so we have to go to a hotel. The trouble with hotels is that you have to be precise when booking tables, otherwise if there are too few, there won’t be enough food, and if there are too many, it will be a waste.
Relatives who live far away also need to arrange hotel accommodation in advance, otherwise it may not be possible to arrange them in the same hotel at the last minute, which will be very troublesome.
Lin Nanzhi stayed at Shi's house for one more night, so she came back in the morning today. She had lunch in the city before returning home and found that Lin Nanxuan had sent her a message.
[Have you come back?]
[Yeah, just arrived.]
[That's good. We have to go to the grave later. We are all at home, waiting for you.]
Lin Nanzhi looked at the time. It was the fourth day of April 2019, the first day of March in the lunar calendar, and it was less than eleven o'clock in the morning.
According to the local custom, tomb sweeping on Qingming Festival should not be done on the day of Qingming Festival, but three days before or three days after. It seems that my family chose the first three days.
Thinking that the graves were all in the woods, I hurried home and changed into casual clothes: an apricot sweatshirt with a butterfly pattern on the chest, paired with a pair of black cropped jeans, and waterproof and non-slip Martin boots.
I braided my hair, took my phone and bag to the inn, and then rode my electric donkey back home.
Everyone gathered at the door of the house. The whole family was present, except for my eldest aunt's family.
Maybe it was because of the unpleasantness last time, Uncle Lin glanced at Lin Nanzhi and snorted coldly, while the others asked her to get in the car and set off.
Each family had a car. Lin Nanzhi's family couldn't fit all the people in one car, so they split it into two. Lin's father and Lin Nanye drove the cars. Seeing that Lin Nanye and Lin Nanxuan were in the same car, she got into Lin's father's car directly to avoid gossip.
In the car, Lin Nanzhi sent a message to Lin Nanxuan: [No one is coming over there again? ]
Lin Nanxuan: []
Lin Nanxuan: [A ghost is coming!]
Lin Nanzhi: [No more big language gif.]
Lin Nanzhi: [Where did you go?]
Lin Nanxuan: [The little cat nodded.jpg.]
Lin Nanzhi was even more speechless and simply did not reply.
What she was talking about was naturally the former family place.
We agreed before that the two sides would visit each other, but when this side was worshipping the ancestors, the other side didn't come, but when they were worshipping the ancestors, they shamelessly let this side go. Some time ago, my family repaired the old man's tombstone and they didn't say a word. I'm afraid I'll have to go again when it's my turn.
"Dad, aren't the uncles over there coming?"
"They said it was raining heavily there and they couldn't come."
"I just bully you guys for being honest."
Father Lin: “…”
She didn't discuss this issue, but thought of what Wen Jiunian said: "Grandma Wen Jiunian's birthday is on the 8th, are you going?"
"His grandmother invited us to her birthday party. We plan to go in two days and have some fun at the same time."
“It’s rare.”
It's rare that her dad would actually want to go out and play.
But think about it, the reason why I didn't go in my previous life was because I didn't have money. I heard Lin's mother say that when he was young, Lin's father loved to play. She knew Lin's father because he and his friends rode bicycles to the town to get to know each other.
Afterwards, the two got married, and Lin's father took her everywhere, visiting many places and taking photos in a fashionable way. Lin Nanzhi had also seen those photos, and they were very much in line with contemporary aesthetics.
The men squatted on the rocks or leaned on something with their hands, while the women took pictures with various flowers. It was quite interesting.
"Then let's go see the giant panda?" Suddenly, Lin Nanxun from the back spoke, which scared Lin Nanzhi.
Lin Nanzhi hasn't seen him for a long time. Lin Nanxun wanted to enter the entertainment industry before, but was sent to the company by Wen Jiunian for training. However, school has started now, and Lin Nanxun is preparing for the college entrance examination, so he has been studying hard in Wumeng this semester.
Speaking of which, Lin Nanxun is only sixteen years old this year, two years younger than Lin Nanzhi. Because he skipped a grade, he is about to take the college entrance examination.
At the age of sixteen, he was already very tall. Wearing a white sportswear, he looked sunny and cheerful, the type that girls liked very much.
"go."
It just so happens that when Yu Ze first asked us to go together, I didn’t have time to go. Now that I have time, I will definitely go.
Anyway, the imperial capital is not far from Bashu, and it is only a few hundred kilometers away from Furong City. It only takes a few hours to drive there, not to mention that there is already a high-speed rail, so it only takes an hour, which is very fast.
Lin Nanzhi sent a message to Lin Nanxuan, who quickly replied: "Mom is going, big brother is going, and I'm going too!"
Lin Nanxuan has never seen a giant panda.
The last time I went on a business trip, I was only away for one day, and I went to the capital. I was so busy that I didn’t have time to go see the giant pandas. It just so happens that I haven’t had a rest for a long time, so I can take a few days off and have fun.
After Lin Nanzhi received the reply, he immediately conveyed it to Wen Jiunian.
[My family came.]
"Your young master's family is going too. He heard about it and said he wants to go too. It's a good opportunity to take Nan Meng and the others out for some fun."
[My uncle and his friends are here too.]
Wen Jiunian: [Okay.]
After chatting with Wen Jiunian for a while along the way, the car reached the top of the mountain.
When our family worships our ancestors, we go to many places, all on the mountain. Only opposite our house, in the orchard, are there two tombstones of our ancestors. The others are very far away.
Every year, the first person to come here is Grandpa Lin Nanzhi, whose address is on the mountain behind the village.
Because the mountain is now planted with trees and flowers, in order to facilitate transportation, the road has not only been widened, but a cement road has also been built. However, the cement road only goes to the halfway point of the mountain.
There is still some distance to the cemetery.
As soon as they got off the bus, Lin Nanmeng came over and took Lin Nanzhi's arm: "Sister, I heard from my father that we are going to the capital in a few days, right?"
"Um."
Lin Nanmeng was immediately happy.
When she was a teenager, she was also a fan. Now she is following a group, most of which are from the capital, and the one she likes is also from the capital, so she has always wanted to go to the capital to take a look. However, she has been busy with studies and has no time to go.
"Do your parents agree? Don't you want to study?"
Lin Nanmeng: “…”
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
"What day was it?"
"Monday!"
Lin Nanmeng felt completely hopeless.
"It's okay. When you have a day off, I'll take you out to play."
"real?"
"Um."
Lin Nanmeng was happy again.
After reaching the top of the mountain, we started to go down. However, this mountain was like several mountains combined, with a low plain in the middle, which was all green grass. In the past, the land was used for farming, but in recent years, the conditions have improved, the grain harvest is not high, and no one grows so much, so the land this far away is basically abandoned.
There are many tombstones fifty meters down from the top of the mountain, two of which are for the ancestors of the Lin family, and one is for Grandpa Lin.
Lin Nanzhi was walking in front and heard Lin's father say that this year Young Master Lin's son was sick and would not be with them, so each family went their separate ways.
Anyway, they are just Grandpa Lin’s cousins, so it doesn’t matter if they are not together. Now it is not the same as before, where the whole family must be together.
