Return To 1998

In response to the enthusiastic villagers, Xu Tongdao, Xu Tonglu, Ge Yuzhu, and the three brothers and sisters took out the ancestor worship items from the trunk, and with the help of Xu Tonglin, they carried them to the end of the village.

Xu Tonglin just heard the news and rushed here.

Xu Tongdao's grandfather and grandma were buried on the hillside at the end of the village, where his family's ancestral tombs are located.

The four of them crossed the end of the village and climbed the hillside under everyone's attention.

On this hillside, there are many tombs, and most of the ancestors of Xujia Village have been buried here.

On the way up the mountain, Xu Tonglin suddenly coughed. When Xu Tongdao's gaze was drawn, Xu Tonglin told Xu Tongdao a message in a low voice—"Xiaodao, do you know? The bloodless Xu Changsheng came back two days ago."

Xu Tongdao frowned slightly.

Xu Tonglin nodded slightly, confirming that Xu Tongdao had not made a mistake just now.

Xu Tongdao screamed.

He didn't follow up. First, he came back today to worship the ancestors, and second... what has happened, he has no interest in interfering.

Moreover, it is Xu Changsheng's own choice whether to return home for the New Year.

Everyone's path is under his own feet, and no matter how or where he goes, he has to bear the consequences.

Xu Changsheng is not a child either. He is a man in his early twenties. For the reason, Xu Tongdao told Xu Changsheng before that since Xu Changsheng still chooses to go home for the New Year, what else does Xu Tongdao have to say?

As long as Xu Changsheng doesn't regret his future, it will do.

A group of four came to the mountainside, with sparse trees around.

Several tombs of different heights appeared in their vision.

Two of them are the graves of Xu Tongdao's grandfather and grandma. When these two old people passed away, the Xujiacun had not yet started to carry out cremation, so the graves of the two old people were not small.

A tomb piled up with stones and mud.

There are some weeds and dead grass on the tomb.

Xu Tongdao put down the sacrifices in his hand, and went forward to pull out the weeds and dead grass from the grave. Xu Tonglu, Xu Tonglin, and Ge Yuzhu met, and all put down the things in their hands and went forward to pull the weeds together.

After about half an hour, all the miscellaneous trees and dead grass were pulled up.

Xu Tongdao came to the tombstones of grandfather and grandma and began to place sacrifices in silence.

Braised pork, fried fish, pork head, apples, bananas, grapes.

A few dishes and some fruits were placed in front of the tombstones of the two old men.

When placing these things, Xu Tongdao's memories of grandpa and grandma naturally flooded out. When his grandpa passed away, he was only 5 years old. He can't remember the appearance of his grandpa. He just remembers that grandpa was very thin. Yes, there are two thick eyebrows...

Also, in the few days when grandpa passed away, half of his face was severely swollen when he was only 5 years old, and he had a high fever for several days.

At that time, the family was poor and there was no money to treat it.

Except for the mother who went to the barefoot doctor to buy a few anti-fever medicines, the grandmother followed the local superstition and took him to find a broken brick and tied a straw rope to a tussah tree branch by the river.

Then, within a few days, the swelling on the half of his face disappeared and the fever subsided.

It is also unclear whether the few anti-fever medicines bought by his mother worked, or the superstitious operation that grandma helped him get.

later……

When he was 9 years old, his grandma also passed away.

At the age of 9, he has a clear memory of his grandma.

An old lady who is thin and small, wears a black earthen cloth all the year round, and always wears a floral cloth towel on her head.

When going out, his grandmother always used to carry a small bamboo basket on her arm.

Grandma loves him very much, and can always give him some good things that he loves when he is picky and unwilling to eat.

For example, a piece of sugar, or a hard-boiled egg, or a piece of cake.

He was also naughty when he was a child.

Xu Tongdao remembered that when he was a child, every time his father beat him, he habitually went to find his grandma and hid behind her thin body.

Then, every time grandma scolded his dad Xu Weixi away.

On the day of grandma's death, he cried and blushed. During the few days when the family had funerals, he went to the brazier behind grandma's coffin when he was fine, and silently burned paper money for grandma by himself.

"Master, grandma! I brought Xiaolu and Yuzhu to see you..."

In front of the tomb adjacent to the two elderly people, Xu Tongdao lit a bunch of incense and placed it in front of grandpa's tombstone, whispering in his mouth, and lit another bunch of incense and placed it in front of grandma's tombstone.

Then he looked back at his younger brother and younger sister, and after taking back his gaze, he took the lead and knelt down before the gravestones of his grandfather and grandma.

Seeing Xu Tonglu and Ge Yuzhu, they all knelt down in silence.

Xu Tonglin hesitated slightly, and then knelt down.

After kowtowing three heads, Xu Tongdao looked up at the tombstones of grandpa and grandma, and his mind flashed through his irresponsible father who has disappeared until now and has not heard from him.

He wanted to talk to his grandpa and grandma about the father who humiliated their family.

but……

When the words came to the lips, he still held back.

Today is New Year’s Eve. They live to celebrate the New Year, and their grandfather and grandmother also want to celebrate the New Year. This new year’s celebration will not add to the minds of the two elderly people.

"Grandpa and grandma, what do you need below, remember to dream to tell us..."

Speaking softly, Xu Tongdao got up to greet his brother and they burned paper money in front of the tomb.

He bought a lot of paper money this time.

The coins issued by Tiandi Bank, the gold ingots on paper stacks...combined, I bought more.

...

at the same time.

Ge Xiaotian rushed into the house and shouted to her sister Ge Xiaoyu who was preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner with her mother in the kitchen: "Sister, sister! Xiaodao and Xiaolu, Yuzhu are back, they are all back today, and they drove back. Many people just went to see it. Hilarious, elder sister, do you want to take a look? Let me tell you, that guy Xiaolu is quite tall now, a bit taller than his brother Xiaodao..."

Ge Xiaoyu, who was burning in the mouth of the stove, looked up in surprise~www.wuxiaspot.com~Really? The three of their brothers and sisters are back today? Are they going back to the village this year to celebrate the New Year? "

The old lady of the two, Xu Hongye, was rubbing the ball into the oil pan, and looked back at this time.

Ge Xiaotian: "Sister! Of course it's true. I went to see it just now! Xiaodao gave a cigarette! Hehe... But, they came back this time, it seems that they didn't come back to celebrate the New Year in the village. His mother didn't come back. , The only three of their brothers and sisters drove home, oh yes! They brought a lot of ancestor worship things, it seems they came back to worship the ancestors specially."

When Ge Xiaotian finished speaking this time, Ge Xiaoyu frowned and didn't make a sound for a while, but subconsciously looked at his mother Xu Hongye by the stove.

Xu Hongye frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Xiaoyu, get up and wash your hands, take off your apron, go to the gate and wait, let Xiaotian come when the fire is burning! You go to the gate and wait, wait for the trails to come back. When you come, call them to come in for a cup of tea, some melon seeds or something, go!"

While speaking, Xu Hongye winked at Ge Xiaoyu.

Ge Xiaoyu was startled, receiving her mother's wink, she suddenly understood her mother's meaning in her heart, and immediately agreed and got up to wash her hands.
