Take a plane to Africa

Chapter 451 Family Sacrifice (start of the first update)
Perhaps because of being too excited, the next day, Yang Tianlong woke up early, and when he walked out of the room, the sky was just slightly bright.

Parents also got up early. Since Yang Dalin had to go to the grave in the morning, Yang Dalin went to the field early in the morning to turn over the field and plant some vegetables. Li Guifen cooked a fresh pig's head according to the sacrificial tradition. Offerings to the grave.

Breathing the fresh air all the way, he walked a long circle along the cement road in the village, and Yang Tianlong didn't come back until seven o'clock in the morning.

After breakfast, he took out the sacrificial offerings, incense wax paper, and panniers and put them in the trunk, while Yang Dalin took a sharp hatchet and sickle.

"Dad, what are you doing with this hatchet and sickle?" Yang Tianlong was a little surprised.

"Your grandparents' graves are full of thorn trees, and if you don't bring them, you can't go in at all." Yang Dalin said.

Yang Tianlong looked puzzled and said, "I remember that there was no land around before? How could it be so barren?"

Yang Dalin said with a wry smile, "In the past, there was a lot of labor, but now people who are more than ten years older than you are working outside. Only those of us who are old can plant those lands. Now there are more and more old people in the village, and young people. There are fewer and fewer, so some land on the mountain cannot be planted at all.”

Seeing that this was the case, Yang Tianlong suddenly realized.

Bringing all the sacrificial supplies, Yang Tianlong got into the driver's cab, and Yang Dalin sat in the co-pilot. Soon, according to his childhood memories, Yang Tianlong drove towards the grave where his grandparents were.

Now the hardening of the road surface in the countryside is doing very well, and there are cement roads all the way to the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the somewhat tall and towering mountain in front of him, Yang Tianlong's eyes had vaguely seen the graves of his grandparents.

When he was in elementary school, his grandparents passed away, and it has been almost 15 or 6 years since then.

"Let's go, let's go up the mountain." Yang Dalin said while putting the sacrifice in the trunk into the back strap.

"Let me carry it, dad." Looking at his dad's slightly hunched back, Yang Tianlong hurriedly said.

"What are you carrying? It's made your clothes dirty." After speaking, Yang Dalin picked up the backpack and got the hatchet and walked along the country road.

Yang Tianlong followed closely behind.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as overcoming thorns and thorns along the way. Except for a few cultivated land at the foot of the mountain, almost all the land on the mountain is deserted and overgrown with weeds. Really can't find the way.

After walking for more than half an hour, I finally came to the graves of my grandparents.

"Dad, Mom, I brought your grandson Tianlong to see you." Yang Dalin said while lighting the candle in his hand.

Hearing his father's words, Yang Tianlong couldn't help recalling the time when his grandparents were alive. Yang Tianlong remembered clearly that his grandfather loved to smoke, but he would never idle his hands while smoking. Well, at that time, all the farm tools at home were woven by him. Dad Yang Dalin learned his knitting skills from his grandfather; grandma was very kind, and she would bring back a lot of delicious food for Yang Tianlong every time he went to the market. of.

Thinking about the scene when he was a child, Yang Tianlong's eyes couldn't help but become moist.

"Grandpa and grandma, I'm here to see you." Yang Tianlong also squatted down, picked up the fragrance and lit the candle.

After the sacrifice, Yang Tianlong and Yang Dalin did not leave immediately. Seeing that the grass on the grave had grown a lot higher, Yang Dalin took off his clothes and waved a sickle to cut the grass on the grave of his parents to a very low level.

Yang Tianlong was not idle either, he picked up the machete and cut down the thorny trees near the grave.

After finishing all this work, the father and son walked down the mountain step by step.

Along the way, I could see a few people who went to the grave during the sunny season, but most of them were middle-aged and elderly, and many of them were from the village. When they saw Yang Dalin, they also looked enthusiastic greeted each other.

When they learned that the young man next to Yang Dalin was Yang Tianlong, they all looked surprised. Obviously, their memories of Yang Tianlong still stayed in their youth or even their childhood.

"They're all so tall."

"So handsome."

……

Yang Tianlong didn't know these people well, but he responded politely one by one.

It was almost eleven o'clock when the father and son went down to the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the road he walked just now, Yang Dalin couldn't help but said: "Tianlong, even if you settle abroad, as soon as you return to China, you have to visit the graves of your grandparents. I'm afraid it will take more than ten years. When your mother and I are old, there will be no way to go here."

Yang Tianlong glanced at his father, he found that his father's face was full of sighs, although he knew that his father's education level was not high, but he was very decent in dealing with people, even though he found a girl from a different country as his wife, but Sometimes from the eyebrows of my parents, I can still feel their hope that they will not leave Huaxia.

"Dad, I know, don't worry, you can lose everything, but you can't lose your roots." Yang Tianlong looked at Yang Dalin and said with a smile.

Yang Dalin smiled with relief on his face.

After lunch, Yang Tianlong took his parents and cousin Li Ling straight to the entry and exit reception room of the County Public Security Bureau.

There are not many people here, so Yang Tianlong and the others were the first to handle it.

Take out the ID card to copy, take pictures, fill in the form, review... After completing this series of procedures, it is almost five o'clock in the afternoon.

Since Ethiopia is not a visa on arrival, but needs to apply for a visa, under normal circumstances, you need to go to the Egyptian consulate or embassy in China to apply for a visa. However, his wife Elena told Yang Tianlong before that the visa to Ethiopia can be obtained in It is completed online, and the application can be approved on the same day at most the next day, which is very fast.

However, the visa cannot be processed at the moment, because the passport can only be applied after the passport is processed, and the passport takes about a week, so after the county police department processed the passport, Yang Tianlong and the others drove straight home.

Li Ling didn't go home immediately, but returned to her aunt's house with Yang Tianlong and the others.

"Cousin, do you think I should buy some sunscreen?"

"Cousin, is the internet working over there?"

"Cousin, all Ethiopian women are so beautiful, aren't the men also handsome?"

……

Her series of questions made Yang Tianlong a little overwhelmed. After answering Li Ling patiently and meticulously, Li Ling looked satisfied.

After dinner and sending Li Ling home, Yang Tianlong called Lin Dayou on the way home.
