Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Jiang Mingshun cleaned up a small area and came out, spread a thick green cloth on it, put little brother Jiang on it, and asked Jiang Jinyu to sit over, and warned: "Mom, dad, clean up the area first, you and your little brother Sit here together."

"Don't run around, do you understand?"

Jiang Jinyu nodded obediently. To be honest, in terms of the environment here, the grass was taller than her. She couldn't go anywhere except to go back the way she came - she didn't know where the road was and where the slope was.

Bai used his free hand to pick up the sickle and mow the grass around the grave. The two of them were much faster, and they had almost finished it in less than half an hour.

Without the weeds and shrubs, the two bare graves looked even more lonely.

Jiang Mingshun stood in front of the tombstone with his hoe in hand, staring at the name on it with deep eyes, speechless for a long time.

Seeing this, Jiang Jinyu stepped forward, touched the tombstone, and said in a brisk tone: "Dad, let's make two new tombstones for my grandparents."

"When I came up just now, I saw that some of the tombstones had patterns carved on them. They looked very luxurious!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Bai nodded in agreement: "That's right, we will buy some green bricks to surround my parents' tombs."

"It would be better if we could build some guardrails."

Jiang Mingshun looked at his wife and daughter with emotion. His parents were watching in front of him, and his wife and children were by his side. He just felt that nothing could be happier than this.

Feeling grateful for Bai's attentiveness, Jiang Mingshun said in a gentle voice: "I will go and talk to the village chief when we get down from the mountain."

"Let's see if we can buy a cemetery in the cemetery in our village. My father-in-law and mother-in-law have been away for many years. Now that we have the ability, we should have a place to worship."

Bai's tears started flowing down. She raised her hand to touch them, but she couldn't stop them.

There was obviously a happy expression on his face, but his mouth was filled with a whimper of extreme sadness.

Jiang Mingshun shook her hand hard: "How about we pick a piece of land near my parents? It will be more convenient for us to visit the tombs and worship."

Bai was speechless and just nodded with a smile.

Jiang Mingshun retracted his hand and bent down to pick up the paper money on the ground: "Stop crying and let the child see the joke again."

Bai Shi gave him an angry look and finally stopped crying.

Afraid of causing a mountain fire, several people waited until the fire was extinguished before packing up and going down the mountain.

At this time, more than half an hour had passed, and some villagers were starting to go home after sweeping the tombs.

There were many grave bags passing by, and some families were particularly particular. They not only brought paper money to burn, but also bought many colorful paper flowers, which were placed on the ground in front of the graves to make them look particularly lively.

The road down the mountain was difficult. Jiang Mingshun hugged Jiang Jinyu and looked around and sighed: "I'm still inexperienced after all. I forgot to buy flowers."

Jiang Jinyu comforted him: "Let's buy more flowers for the Ghost Festival."

"Hahaha," Jiang Mingshun weighed Jiang Jinyu happily: "Okay, I will let you plug it in with your own hands when the time comes. Please protect our fish girl from your grandparents."

Jiang Jinyu also laughed along.

Just at this time, a member of the Jiang clan was walking up the mountain with something. When he saw Jiang Mingshun's family, he happily said hello: "Uncle Mingshun! Auntie! Fish Lady! Are you back?"

"Are you going to see my second grandpa and second grandma?"

When Jiang Mingshun heard the sound, he looked over and saw that it was a cousin from the tribe who had not yet entered the fifth level. He was holding paper money in his hand. He smiled and nodded to him: "Yes, you are going to the mountain to burn paper for your grandma." ?”

"Who are your parents?" The young man, who has not yet reached the height of his age, smiled and scratched his head, with a shy expression: "My wife is pregnant, and she has a big reaction. My parents are at home and can't leave. This year, I am the only one going to visit my grandparents. .”

"In that case," Jiang Mingshun nodded understandingly and turned sideways to let him pass: "Then hurry up and get ready in the morning. Don't let your wife worry."

The young man smiled gratefully and walked past Jiang Mingshun at a faster pace.

"Uncle Mingshun," after walking two or three steps away, he seemed to remember something. He turned around and said, "I almost forgot. I just met the uncle and uncle Minghui in the village. It looks like they are going to the old man." Over there.”

"Sure, thank you for telling me," Jiang Mingshun moved faster: "I'll be there right away."

Grandma Jiang Mingshun was also buried on the village cemetery, but not on the same side as his parents.

Returning to the main road in the village, I drove the mule cart forward for several dozen meters. Going up a slope, I walked further in the direction of the Jiang family's grandma's graveyard.

I met many people along the way, and those who had seen Jiang Yongsheng came over to remind Jiang Mingshun to hurry up.

Jiang Mingshun knew that they had good intentions and was worried that he would not be able to catch up, so he thanked them one by one.

Several people hurriedly and slowly arrived at Jiang's grandma's graveyard in time.

Jiang Yongsheng's family was already busy at the grave.

Jiang Mingshun walked forward and said loudly: "Uncle! Second brother!"

The two of them raised their heads when they heard the sound. Jiang Minghui immediately raised his hand and waved excitedly: "Brother, sister-in-law!"

Jiang Yongsheng cut a handful of grass, and when he saw Jiang Minghui's appearance, he couldn't help but scolded: "What are you talking about!"

"Don't even look at where this place is. Please apologize to your grandparents and ask them not to be offended."

Jiang Minghui didn't know what was going on with his father. Weren't they joking just now? Why didn't they talk about it then?
He wanted to be afraid of his father, and although he was absolutely aggrieved at the moment, he did not dare to refute. He could only put down the hoe and bow three times to the two tombs. He put his hands together and whispered: "My grandson didn't mean it. Please don't be angry." "

Jiang Mingshun had already walked nearby and heard the conversation between the two.

Guessing that Jiang Yongsheng was angry that he was late, he smiled and put down the sacrifice in his hand: "Uncle, I bought this for my grandparents. I will burn it for them later."

Jiang Yongsheng glanced at the pile of things, said a faint "hmm" and then lowered his head to clean up the weeds in front of him.

Jiang Minghui was scolded by his father just now, and now he didn't dare to jump anymore. He waved his knife to cut off the branches that grew to the cemetery.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while.

Jiang Mingshun stood there for a while, touched his nose, and found a sickle to cut the grass.

Jiang Jinyu and Bai stood aside, neither of them had any intention of helping.

It wasn't that they didn't want to help on purpose. Jiang Jinyu looked around and saw that in addition to Jiang Yongsheng and Jiang Minghui, his two cousins ​​were also pulling weeds from his second uncle's family, but he didn't see Yang, Liu or his second cousin.

Jiang Jinyu rolled her eyes out of habit. Women of the family were never brought to the graves in the old house of the Jiang family. Whether it was Yang, the most senior family member, or several granddaughters named Jiang, they could only wait at home.

Not to mention the daughter-in-law with a foreign surname who married in from outside.

Although the tomb must be swept every year, after living here for six or seven years, this is the first time Jiang Jinyu has seen the tomb of her great-grandfather and grandma.

Seeing that the few people were too busy to pay attention to them, Jiang Jinyu pulled Bai Shi and complained in a low voice: "I just said don't come up. It's better if we wait in the mule cart."
