Chapter 392
Chapter 391 Too Much
Chenjia Village, Qili Town, Tianshui County, on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Different customs are different in different places, and three miles are different in the sky.
In some places, visit relatives and friends to play mahjong during the Chinese New Year, but there is a custom that is essential for celebrating the Chinese New Year in Tianshui County, that is, visiting graves and worshiping ancestors!
Walking on the mountain road, Chen Shitou followed his father. Although he was 13 years old, he was dark and young, and looked younger.
But he was very clever. Although he didn't like to talk, his big eyes turned around and he knew everything!
He and his father have not returned to the village for three years.
This time I came back, mainly because I haven’t come back to pay homage to my mother for a long time. Another reason is that my father heard that the land in Chenjia Village would be included in the development zone of Tianshui County, so that he would get a land acquisition compensation!
So during the Chinese New Year this year, my father Chen Mancang returned to his hometown with Shi Tou.
After the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Mancang took his son Chen Shitou up the mountain to visit his wife's grave.
Having not been back for three years, Chen Mancang felt guilty and bought a lot of yellow paper. He carried a large bundle of them in his left and right hands, hoping that his wife would have a good New Year underground.
Chen Shitou also carries two bags in his hand, and there are some ingots made of tin foil. It is said that this thing is burned for passing ghosts to make it convenient for them!
After a while, when I arrived at the hillside of this barren mountain, Chen Shitou's mother's grave was here.
However, when Chen Mancang and Xiao Shitou came here, both of them were shocked!
I saw the tombstone on Chen Shitou's mother's grave breaking into two pieces. A big piece lies on the ground. On the unbreakable half, I also wrote two words in spray paint, "Damn it!"
Chen Mancang was stunned for a moment, walked a few steps, threw the yellow paper in his hand on the ground, and wanted to put the half of the tombstone back.
However, the marble tombstone was broken, so how could it be placed back?
"Axiu, you're suffering!" Chen Mancang, a big man, called out, and his eyes turned red.
Xiao Shitou's face did not change, but his big eyes were filled with anger. He came to the tombstone and looked carefully. The break of the tombstone seemed very clean. It was obvious that it was broken in the past two days!
"It must be Chen Fucai's family!" Xiao Shitou said gritting his teeth.
In fact, it was not necessary for the son to say that Chen Mancang knew very well. It must be that Chen Fucai and his family came back and broke his wife's tombstone when they saw that the father and son were back!
"Chen Fucai, your family is too immoral!" Chen Mancang wanted to cry without tears, his heart was filled with anger, but he was helpless!
Chen Fucai was originally a pig killer, with a tall and strong figure. No one dared to provoke him in the village. Later, Chen Fucai married a wife and gave birth to five sons. Now the Chen family became more powerful, and they bullied men and women in the village and acted recklessly!
Chen Fucai's fourth son and Chen Mancang's wife A Xiu are middle school classmates. When they were in school, they often bothered A Xiu.
Later, Axiu married Chen Mancang and gave birth to his son Chen Shitou. At that time, Chen Mancang was very happy and went out to work with others, and his income was pretty good!
But who knew that Chen Fucai's fourth son took advantage of the loophole and crawled into his house to force A Xiu while Chen Mancang was not at home!
A Xiu fought to the death every time, but Chen Fucai's fourth son was tall and big, and he succeeded every time!
Considering the face, A Xiu was afraid that Chen Mancang would be worried outside, so he kept swallowing his anger and told Chen Mancang not to go out to work again. Chen Mancang didn't know what his wife meant, so he had a fight with A Xiu and went out to work again!
But as time went by, the rest of the village knew about it, and the matter came to Chen Mancang's ears.
Chen Mancang rushed back to his hometown and warned Chen Fucai's fourth son to do it himself in the future and not to go too far!
But Chen Fucai's family simply denied it; the worst thing is that Chen Fucai's fourth son heard that Chen Mancang had returned to the city, so he climbed the wall again that night to force A Xiu!
Who knew that Chen Mancang came back halfway and caught someone on the spot. After calling the police, he arrested Chen Fucai's fourth son!
In this way, Chen Fucai's wife was a very vicious old lady. Every morning she would sit at the door of Chen Mancang's house with a small stool, while eating melon seeds, cursing the streets, which was so ugly! It seemed that his son was not a bad person who did evil things, but A Xiu was a shameless woman!
After a long time, the people in the village pointed at A Xiu. A Xiu couldn't stand it. One day, when she was excited, she committed suicide by drinking pesticides!
After Axiu died, Chen Mancang had to take Chen Shitou away from his hometown and work outside, and only came back once a few years.
This time, I came back three years later.
I originally wanted to set up a grave for A Xiu and burn some paper money, but who knew that after Chen Fucai and his family learned the news, they ran to A Xiu’s grave on the first day of the Lunar New Year and broke the tombstone!
"This family is too bullying, and there will be no good results!"
Although Chen Mancang was so angry that he gritted his teeth, he had no choice but to do anything. Chen Fucai's family would not admit it. Chen Mancang was not the kind of person who could mess around, so he could only suffer a loss.
At this moment, the father and son worshiped in front of the broken tombstone, burned paper money, and finished the ceremony.
After going down the mountain, Chen Mancang went to the town to find a stonemason and helped Axiu customize a tombstone.
Just after he came back from the town, he saw Chen Fucai, who was tall and strong, walked out of the small building. Chen Fucai smiled this time and said, "Mancang, it's been missing for a few years! You're back!"
Chen Mancang didn't want to say anything more to the family, so he nodded and prepared to leave.
Chen Fucai said again, "Mancang, our two families have had an unpleasant relationship before! But my fourth son was also punished by law. He has just returned from prison for a few years! Enemies are easy to resolve but not easy to get together. Everyone should still walk around in the future. Speaking of which, our entire village has the surname Chen, and they are all a family!"
Chen Mancang was a little confused. He wondered why Chen Fucai, the old student, suddenly became aware of the truth today?
"Uncle Chen, you are right!" Chen Mancang gave Chen Fucai a face and called him Uncle.
Chen Fucai said again, "Come on, sit at home! I'll ask the fourth brother to apologize to you!"
"No, no, no." Chen Mancang was a little flattered today. While speaking, Chen Fucai's vicious old woman also came out today, as if she had become a different person, and she also had a smile on her face. The couple pulled Chen Mancang into the house.
After sitting down in the living room, Chen Fucai handed Chen Mancang another cigarette, and everyone exchanged greetings for a long time.
Chen Mancang thought to himself, did he blame Chen Fucai for wrongly? A Xiu’s tombstone was interrupted. Could it be that Chen Fucai’s family did it?
But soon, Chen Mancang realized that he thought Chen Fucai was too kind.
Chen Fucai and his wife talked to Chen Mancang for a while with a smile, then said, "Mancang! You are doing big business in the city anyway, and you can't use the house and land at home! Why not just transfer it to me, my contract is ready!"
