Fu Qiumei and her friends had been away from Zaojiazhuang for half a month, and people in the village were saying that they might have fallen seriously ill and would not be able to return.
But it did not affect everyone's normal life at all, and Lao Qin's fields and land were renovated.
In a few days, they plan to plant the peanuts first, and then plant the rice seedlings, one step at a time.
Today is Qingming Festival. Early in the morning, Old Man Qin, his two sons, and several children went to the mountain to burn paper money.
Outside, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums was deafening.
Old Mrs. Qin and her daughters-in-law were busy in the kitchen, waiting for the people who came back from Qingming Festival to have breakfast.
Today, Qin Han also went to the mountain.
In his previous life, he had not kneeled down to worship his parents and ancestors for tens of thousands of years, but today he kowtowed three times to every ancestor of the Qin family.
Although he felt that the feeling of kneeling like this was a bit mysterious, he did not reject this feeling.
After kneeling down to worship their ancestors, the children would pick up small stones and place yellow paper money on the grave mound one by one until it was full.
Qin Han didn't know what this custom was. Could it be that if he spread it on top, the ancestors below would be able to receive it?
But he didn't ask too many questions. He just did what his brothers and sisters did.
There were a total of seven grandchildren who came, including four boys, Qin Qiu, Qin Lu and Qin Xue.
After all, Qin Feng was not of the Qin family, so she felt a little embarrassed to go. Plus, since ancient times, girls have been able to go or not, so she did not go and stayed at home to take care of her younger sisters.
Several adults squatted in front of the grave and burned yellow paper money while trying to prevent it from causing a fire.
There are a total of ten graves in the Qin family that need to be worshipped, fortunately they are all on the same mountain.
Unlike some villagers who have to run to several places, some graves are even on the edge of other people's fields.
Er Gouzi also followed Qin Han to the mountain. He couldn't help with this kind of thing and could only watch from the side and be responsible for security work.
When people in the village saw Ergouzi, they couldn't help but want to touch him.
This dog is so tall and mighty, it makes people feel safe.
As a result, the children who came to worship their ancestors had no intention of kneeling down. They all wanted to get it over with and quickly go play with Ergouzi.
Just when they were busy kowtowing to their ancestors and burning paper, Qin Jianye came back.
He drove very fast all the way just to get back and hang the Qingming Festival with his family.
He parked the car at the gate of the yard and got out.
He was dressed in military uniform and walked in covered in dust.
Even though he was exhausted, his brilliance could not be concealed.
"Uncle, you're back?" Qin Feng was the first to see Qin Jianye, and immediately showed an extremely excited expression.
The other children turned around and saw their tall uncle. They all ran over happily and surrounded Qin Jianye.
Qin Jianye looked at the children, and a smile instantly spread across his face: "You little guys, do you miss your uncle?"
Several people nodded at the same time and expressed their desire.
Qin Yu then ran to the kitchen excitedly, shouting, "Grandma, Mom, my uncle is back."
When Old Mrs. Qin, who was cooking porridge, heard this, she was stunned at first, then immediately put down the spatula and walked out of the kitchen quickly.
Zhang Xiumei and several of her sisters-in-law also followed her out, curious about why their brother-in-law came back.
"Mom, three sisters-in-law!" Qin Jianye was holding Qin Qing and preparing to walk into the living room when he saw the people coming out and greeted them with a smile.
Seeing that it was really her fifth child, Old Lady Qin excitedly stepped forward and asked, "Why did you come back without even saying hello in advance?"
Qin Jianye put Qin Qing down and replied with a smile: "Isn't this to give you a surprise? Did Dad and the others go to the mountain to burn paper money?"
He noticed that everyone in the family was in the yard, so the others must have gone to the mountain and had not returned yet.
Old Lady Qin nodded: "Yes, I just left for half an hour, and it will probably take a while for me to come back. Old Fifth, you haven't burned paper money for your ancestors for many years. It's a good thing that you're back today, so why don't you go too!"
Qin Jianye had the same plan. He first went to the backyard to wash up briefly, then hurried to the mountain, waiting for them to come back in a while.
Qin Han discovered his uncle as early as when his uncle set foot on the land of Zaojiazhuang.
So when other children were so happy that they were about to jump for joy because they saw their uncle coming, he was the only one who remained calm and continued to weigh paper money for his ancestors with small stones.
The other villagers, seeing the Qin family's son who was serving in the army coming, also greeted him with a smile. Now Qin Jianye is the most successful young man in their village.
Qin Jianye also responded with a smile, and then walked in front of his family.
"Dad, big brother, second brother!" He was wearing a military uniform and a military cap, looking righteous. In the eyes of the children, he was a super hero.
Old man Qin looked at Lao Wu and a rare smile appeared on his face.
The eldest and the second oldest also looked at the fifth oldest happily. He had not been back since he brought a few soldiers to rescue a group of children who were kidnapped by human traffickers last year. They didn't expect that he would be able to come back today.
Afterwards, Qin Jianye and his family members knelt down and paid respects to the remaining graves before returning.
Looking at his uncle whom he hadn't seen for a long time, the children gathered around him and chattered non-stop, and Qin Jianye also responded to his nephews very patiently.
Qin Han, who was about to walk back by himself, was picked up by Qin Jianye: "Han'er, it seems you haven't even called me uncle yet!"
Qin Han tilted his head, with a childlike look on his face: "My uncle didn't even take the initiative to greet me, I thought he didn't remember me!"
"I'm the elder. How can an elder greet a younger person first?" Qin Jianye raised his eyebrows.
"Isn't it said that we should respect the old and love the young? My uncle is not an old man, but I am a child, and children need to be cared for."
Humph, you have your own plan and I have my own way to get over the wall, but he, the Demon Emperor, will not lower his status.
In the end, Qin Jianye was defeated: "Uncle can't argue with you, let's go home!"
As the group walked down the mountain, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from time to time.
Er Gouzi happily moved around in the crowd, almost tripping Qin Jianye several times...
When I got home, Old Mrs. Qin had already prepared breakfast and was waiting at the door.
Lao Wu came today, and she specially made an extra scallion pancake.
Seeing that everyone from Old Qin's family had returned, she smiled and said to Qin Han, "Han'er is really attached to his uncle. As soon as he comes back, he wants to be hugged by his uncle."
"Maybe this child is close to me!"
Qin Han looked at the person who said this without any guilt: "…………?"
He was obviously forced to hold her, right?
Since she likes to hug him so much, he wants to see how he will hug him when he grows up.
When we got home, everyone washed their hands and then sat in the living room to eat breakfast.
"Mom, did we buy a TV?" Qin Jianye noticed the TV series on the small table by the wall.
It is not easy to buy a TV in their small town, or even in the county town.
