Chapter 199 Girls whose lives are worthless
My grandparents didn't let me pick them up, so the nursing home sent a car directly to the ancestral hall.
As usual, Wei Qifeng would chat with the old man in the ancestral hall and play a few games of chess.
My grandmother has difficulty walking and doesn't like to move, so she sits next to me and keeps me company.
Lin Xianglan walked towards the backyard, and Wei Wuya followed with Lele.
Lin Xianglan saw the two people following her, but didn't say anything. She walked to the storage room and opened the half-closed lock.
"You wanted to come in and ask me for the key. Why do you always break my locks? You have quite a bit of brute force!" Lin Xianglan grumbled.
The storage room has been cleaned and is spotless.
The incense burner on the altar was replaced with a new one, and the incense ash was gone.
The scarf was washed, neatly folded and placed in a clear plastic bag.
The red wool revealed its true appearance.
Lin Xianglan took three incense sticks and handed them to Wei Wuya, "Bye!"
Wei Wuya took the incense, performed three bows seriously, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.
Lele still felt uncomfortable watching this.
She often wondered what would happen if other people encountered this kind of thing?
And what happened to Lin Xianglan after she returned home from Heisha River?
Just as he was distracted, Lin Xianglan said, "You're so pious without even asking who you're worshipping?"
Wei Wuya said calmly, "It doesn't matter. You must have your reasons for asking us to worship you."
Lin Xianglan was stunned for a moment and looked at her son, "Oh, when did you become so obedient!"
"I've always been obedient. What haven't I done for you?" Wei Wuya raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
Lin Xianglan looked up at her son, fair, tall, sunny, and handsome, a male version of herself, and suddenly tears welled up in her eyes.
Wei Wuya turned his face away, not daring to look at her, his eye sockets moist.
"We are pressed for time today. I will tell you in detail when I have time. I won't be around when we worship our ancestors in the future. Remember to come and pay your respects."
Lin Xianglan took a few deep breaths and held back her tears.
"Let's go to Lele's house quickly!"
He said, holding Lele's arm and saying, "Good boy!"
Lele also felt a tightness in his chest and did not answer.
The two drove to the county town.
When they were almost home, Lele called his parents.
My sister brought my parents down, got in the car, and went to the cemetery.
My brother-in-law took Jinxi to visit the Su family’s graves.
Lele's family has no ancestral hall. There is a three-acre red willow field on the Gobi Desert, where graves of various heights are piled up.
In an open-air cemetery, you have to wait until all the paper money is burned before leaving, otherwise you may worry that the wind will blow sparks and burn the red willow beach.
Lele came back mainly to pay homage to her grandmother. Her grandmother is as important to her as her mother.
If it weren’t for grandma, mom would still be trying to get an abortion!
If it weren’t for grandma, my mother wouldn’t have been allowed to have a vasectomy during labor!
If it weren't for her grandmother, she might have been given away or simply thrown into the Gobi Desert like many other extra daughters.
In the early 80s, girls born in rural areas of Northwest China still had a life worthless.
Once, Lele's parents talked about this topic when they were asking Ye Qianyu about her background.
My grandmother once raised a girl whose biological parents had four daughters. When the girl was born, she was about to be given away, but my grandmother took pity on her and adopted her.
My grandmother raised me until I was seven or eight years old, then a single man took me in and raised me to adulthood.
Even someone as outstanding as Nana is like this at home.
His father was a teacher and had three daughters, the youngest of whom was given away.
The three Nana sisters are all top students.
In addition to Dr. Nana, the second sister graduated from a 985 university and successfully passed the Jiangquan civil servant exam and entered the judicial system.
My third sister is also said to be from a 985 university and is currently studying at a university...
My parents said that being sent away or being sent to the station was considered lucky.
Some were sent directly to the Gobi Desert...
The wife my cousin married was actually 16 years old when they got married.
She was raised by an 80-year-old grandfather.
When the old man was 64 years old, he went to the beach to graze sheep and found her under a red willow tree.
The premature baby was covered with ants and was dying.
When the grandfather found that the child was still breathing, he took him home and raised him.
When he was 80 years old, he couldn't wait to run to his uncle's house and said that his uncle was a good man. He had three sons and his "granddaughter" must be entrusted to one of them. He was old and was afraid that he would not be able to live to see his "granddaughter" turn 18.
Because I didn't have a birth certificate, my uncle had some connections and got me an ID card. The ID card showed I was 19 years old.
Too many, too many...
Sometimes when Lele returns to the countryside from Wei Wuya's house, he often falls into a trance, wondering if this is the same world!
Wei Wuya is the same. He often cannot understand the environment in which Lele originally lived.
Just like offering sacrifices to ancestors, he stared at the graves with fear and trepidation, and asked Lele,
"So, your ancestors are all lying down there?"
Lele nodded, "Burial, all down there!"
Wei Wuya probably remembered the ghosts crawling out of the mass graves in those horror movies and TV dramas. He followed Lele closely, holding Lele's hand, and did not dare to enter the cemetery.
Lele skillfully cleaned her grandmother's tombstone, swept the dust, and laid flowers on it.
Pour the offering soup, light incense, and offer fruits and food.
Mom and Dad had already lit a fire and started putting various foods on it.
Start burning paper money again...
It was noon when everyone left after the fire was burned out.
Arrived at the county town and had dinner.
After sleeping for a while, Wei Wuya drove Lele back to Longquan.
When both of them are busy, the days go by quickly.
......
Lele went to Xijing for his defense right after the May Day holiday, and the defense went very smoothly.
After the defense, Lele went to see Grandpa Si.
Kong Shimeng applied for a PhD at Harvard at the end of last year and has seamlessly gone to the United States.
Si Zeming took the postgraduate entrance examination for psychology at the beginning of the year, which he easily mastered, and he has already selected a supervisor.
While having a meal and chatting, I saw Si Zeming’s girlfriend.
The pretty girl with a high ponytail was chatting happily with Lele.
Before returning to Jiangquan, I thought of inviting Kong Shijie to dinner to help me.
After making an appointment, Kong Shijie said that he happened to be at VEGE WONDER in the afternoon, otherwise he really couldn't spare any other time.
Lele had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he went shopping in the mall over there early.
It was exactly six o'clock when Kong Shijie called.
Let Lele go directly to the restaurant.
I knew it was on the second floor and saw the sign, but I didn't dare to go in.
The door is made of glass and is full of artistic sense.
Lele walked to the door and a waiter came over. He touched some switch and the glass slowly turned and finally became perpendicular to the wall.
When he walked in, Lele thought he had entered an art exhibition hall. After taking a few steps, he found that there was indeed a photography exhibition.
The waiter explained that each season’s exhibition corresponds to the ingredients on each season’s menu.
The main decoration colors are black and white, focusing on simplicity and elegance.
Various artistic elements and floral embellishments complement the landscape lights.
When we got to the private room, there was no one there, only two seats.
Bamboo walls, landscape tables, jasmine decorations, and Himalayan pink salt lamps.
You can see the large outdoor lawn by the window, which is pleasing to the eye.
