Chapter 37 The first day of the first lunar month

The king, king, and three twos are removed from a deck of cards, and the remaining cards are divided into three piles. Whoever gets the three of spades at the beginning of the first draw will play first, and whoever wins the next one will play first.

Anyway, it's a competition of big and small, there are more than five straight cards, there is no upper limit, to put it bluntly, it's just a fun game, anyway, it depends on who is lucky.

Mainly Xie Fugui was playing with his two daughters, while Luo Jinlian was knitting and watching them play.

It was past midnight, we set off firecrackers and ate dumplings, and then everyone went to bed.

On the first day of the first lunar month, just after 5:30, Xie Jingyan heard a loud crackling sound at the door of his house.

Yawning, Xie Jingyan put on her clothes and came out.

Luo Jinlian saw Xie Jingyan coming out and said: "There are bean tea and dumplings on the stove. They are all hot. Go and eat. After eating for a while, we have to go out to visit the grave."

Xie Jingyan washed up and went to have breakfast.

Breakfast is Luo Jinlian’s soybean tea dumplings. The main ingredients are red beans, lotus roots and dumplings.

The red beans, lotus roots and dumplings have been cooked the day before and set aside for later use. On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, they can be served and heated according to everyone's appetite.

Xie Jingyan ate half of the meal, and Xie Ruyan also got up. After the family of four finished eating, they set off to visit the grave.

One of the customs of Wangxie Village is that the first day of the Lunar New Year is the most important day for ancestor worship, which is reflected in the fact that every household must visit the graves.

Xie Jingyan was actually very surprised by this custom. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, instead of visiting relatives, he went to visit graves. He didn't know who came up with it.

But the custom here is such that no matter how curious we are, a family of four will still go to visit the grave.

Fortunately, the weather was good on the first day of the first lunar month. Although it was not completely bright yet, I knew from the blush on the sky that it was probably going to be a sunny day.

In previous years, if it was a rainy day, visiting a grave would be embarrassing. You wouldn't be able to wear new clothes for a whole day. If you go out to visit a grave, you will almost become a clay figure when you come back.

In this day and age, most people rely on their legs when going out. When visiting graves, they naturally walk there.

"In the second half of this year, I will save more money and buy a bicycle then." Xie Fugui actually envied people with bicycles.

"We have to build a house in the first half of the year, but I'm afraid we won't have much money in the second half of the year." Luo Jinlian thought for a while and said.

"It's okay. If you can't buy it this year, you can buy it next year." Xie Fugui is still very optimistic about this.

There are many people visiting the graves on the first day of the new year. Most of the villagers in Wangxie Village will go out to visit the graves, usually as a family. Those who stay at home are the elderly and those who are difficult to leave.

Today's tombs are still burial tombs, and the tombs in Wangxie Village are all on the gate mountain not far away.

It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually just a hill, but it is said that it runs directly through four towns. Wangxie Village is just a village below Jiuge Town, one of the four towns.

Wangxie Village itself is close to the town, so it is relatively far away from Damen Mountain. The walk takes at least half an hour. With two children walking together, it takes 40 minutes one way.

But no one felt tired. After all, it was only once a year, and it was not a race.

Xie Fugui and the others are all hard-working people, so they didn't feel tired even after such a short journey.

The cemetery is halfway up the mountain, so you have to climb the mountain.

The road up the mountain is a small trail with no protection. People nearby go into the mountain to pick mushrooms or find some herbs and then walk out.

If it rains, this small mountain trail will be very slippery, and there is a section that is quite steep, making it more dangerous to go up on rainy days.

However, the weather was good today, and it didn't rain a few days ago, so although the road was a bit steep, I managed to find the grave by grabbing the roots of weeds on the side.

There are two graves that Xie Fugui's family wants to visit, one is the grave of Xie Fugui's grandfather, and the other is Luo Zhongfa's grave.

The tombs of the Xie family are all in one place, which is called the Xie family cemetery. Although there is no clear mark, those buried here are basically the ancestors of the Xie family.

Moreover, most of the people who come to visit the grave are people from Wangxie Village.

Everyone looked up without looking down, and even said hello from time to time.

After visiting the Xie family's grave, they went to other places.

Xie Fugui took Luo Jinlian and others, turned a corner, and arrived at Luo Zhongfa's grave.

Luo Zhongfa already looked like he had burned paper money in front of him.

"It seems that Ah Jin or Ah Bu have been here." Xie Fugui said to Luo Jinlian.

"Yeah." Luo Jinlian replied with a smile.

Luo Yulian's family also had to go to the Chen family's tomb first and then come here. The Chen family's tomb is not in this direction, so they would definitely come later.

Xie Fugui and the others also took out sacrificial items and made a simple memorial ceremony.

"Dad, can we climb the mountain?" Xie Jingyan asked since he came out and wanted to have some fun.

Originally, we were going to play on the first day of the first lunar month.

It is an old custom to eat at thirty and play on the first day of the new year.

Xie Jingyan was thinking about being reborn. When she came here for the first time, she wanted to enjoy the fun of childhood again.

Moreover, this gate mountain was finally developed in the previous life.

Xie Jingyan remembered that the surrounding area of ​​Main Gate Mountain was finally reinforced and a tunnel was opened in the middle. All the graves on Main Gate Mountain were later moved to designated cemeteries.

You can still climb and play in the current Damen Mountain. In a few decades, there will be no way to go up the mountain in Damen Mountain, so you can only watch it from a distance.

"I want to climb a mountain. OK, do you want to compete with dad to see who can reach the top of the mountain first?" Xie Fugui said with a smile.

"Yes." Xie Jingyan nodded seriously.

Xie Ruyan said from the side: "I want it too, I want it too, I'll go first."

Xie Ruyan was very unscrupulous in martial arts spirit. As soon as he finished speaking, he went up alone.

Xie Jingyan blinked, surprised by Xie Ruyan's quick speed.

Seeing this, Xie Fugui smiled and said, "Your sister has already run ahead before Erniu can get there."

"I compete with my father, not my sister." Xie Jingyan answered very seriously.

In fact, winning or losing is not important, what is important is to be happy.

"Okay, let's set off." Xie Fugui said.

As soon as Xie Jingyan heard that it was time to start, he climbed up.

There is actually no road from here to the top of the mountain, but it is quite flat. The climb is not as steep as when we first came up. On the contrary, the slope is only about 30 degrees, so there is no danger.

When Xie Jingyan reached the top of the mountain, Xie Ruyan had already arrived and seemed to be picking something.

"Sister, what are you picking?" Xie Jingyan asked.

"Prickly pear, do you want to eat it?" Xie Ruyan found a wild prickly pear tree with several wild prickly pears on it.

Wild prickly pear fruits are not very big, only about the size of an adult's thumb, and some are only as big as an adult's little finger.

"It's too sour. I won't eat it. You can eat it." Xie Jingyan doesn't like fruits that are too sour, such as plums and prickly pears.
