In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, in the afternoon, the ancestors will be worshipped to the grave.

This work is carried out according to the family, and Grandpa Yang Shubao's generation is prosperous, and there are six brothers alone.

However, over the years, it is inevitable that there will be some grievances, and now there are four old brothers who have a good relationship, and the other two have settled in Hainan and cannot be contacted now, and one is no longer in contact with them after moving to the city.

There are also a lot of four families, Yang Shubao's family is only their father and son because the eldest and the third child sacrificed for the country, and the other three families are all big families, and they get together to sprinkle the little 30 people.

Since the 90s, the population of Northeast China has gathered in the cities, and Yang Shubao's family has also had the opportunity to settle in the city before, and his grandfather worked as a cook in a state-owned enterprise, and he did a good job, training his eldest son and third son to become soldiers.

But his grandfather is the eldest of the six brothers, and the first five brothers all moved their hukou to the city first, and he can't move the rest, because their hometown is particular about it, and they have to stay in the ancestral house, so they left him behind.

Zheng Qihong was most dissatisfied with this, she mainly felt sorry for her son.

Yang Shubao was very smart when he was a teenager, and she felt that if her son could enjoy the educational resources in the city, it would not be a problem to be admitted to Wudaokou College and Yuanmingyuan Vocational and Technical College.

When people are young, they yearn for the prosperity of the city, and when they are old, they hope that the leaves will return to their roots, and they all want to return to their hometowns.

On the afternoon of the thirtieth, a car drove back from the city, and the old brothers sat down in the house and began to greet each other.

Uncle Yang's family has good genes, his grandparents are still alive, and the eldest of the Yang family is in his nineties.

The eldest of the Yang family is no longer good, his hair is thin, his face is full of old age spots, he got out of the car with the help of his children and grandchildren, and when he saw the old man Yang, he smiled bitterly: "Sixth son, it's another year." ”

Old Man Yang went up and held his hand and said, "Big brother, hurry up and go into the house to warm up, you here, you here, I haven't seen you for a year, and you are a lot worse than last year." ”

The fifth elder of the Yang family coughed and said, "Ahem, what are you talking about, sixth son? ”

The boss of the Yang family waved his hand and said: "What age are we? Life is rare for seventy years, we are not only rare in ancient times, what else can't be said? You say that it sounds good is not the truth, go, go into the house and talk." ”

The fifth child of the Yang family has not yet come, and he asked, "The third and fourth children, still no letter?"

The two old men lowered their heads and did not speak, the old man Yang took a puff of cigarette, and the second child of the Yang family coughed again, and he extinguished the cigarette and threw it away.

The eldest of the Yang family sighed and said, "My biggest wish now is to call the six of us brothers together before leaving, and call them to kowtow to my father's grave." It seems that this wish can't come true, I'm the boss, hehe, incompetent!"

"Big brother, this has nothing to do with you, what kind of calf are they ......"

"Liuzi, don't talk about this now. The second child of the Yang family interrupted him, "The fifth child hasn't come yet?"

"Fifth brother grinding, we have to wait for him for a while. ”

The boss of the Yang family said: "Wait, I'll go over first, I'll accompany my father and mother more this year, I have a hunch that this year may be the last time I come to see them in person, and if I can't go down to see them next year, I won't be able to move." ”

Yang Shubao listened silently, his grandfather's complexion was already very bad, and now he could barely move his feet, and he had to sit in a wheelchair without anyone to help him.

Old Man Yang's eyes suddenly turned red: "Big brother, what are you talking about, you are doing well now, you will come back in the bright year, the year after tomorrow, the year after tomorrow, and you will come back in the next ten years." ”

The boss of the Yang family grinned: "I want to come back next year, I want to come back to the village, but I can't come back." ”

The second child of the Yang family sighed and said: "The fox died and the leaves fell back to the roots, and I also want to go back to Tunzi." But now that the state is strict in managing household registration, it is easy for you to go to the city, but it is absolutely not okay to go back to the countryside. Sometimes I feel that this life is very fucked up, when we want to enter the city, it is difficult to enter the city, I want to go back to my hometown, and it is difficult to go back to my hometown!"

"How can everything be as you wish?" the Yang family boss laughed, "When we were young, we all ran away from the city, so we left the six sons in the tunzi by themselves, and now you want to come back? No, it's useless for you to come back, there are still a few people you know in the tunzi?

The second child of the Yang family sighed: "Alas, that's what I said, all causes must have results." ”

The boss of the Yang family got into the car first after warming up for a while, and led their family of seven or eight people to the ancestral grave first.

Old man Yang said: "Second brother, let's go to the stove to bake the fire, Xiaobao, you go get some hazelnuts, chestnuts, pine nuts, melon seeds and pecans, and then stew a sweet potato, I will wait for your second uncle and your fifth uncle." ”

Yang Shubao got up to clean up, the second child of the Yang family looked at his back and smiled with relief: "Xiao Baocheng is a young man, he is quite promising, that day I saw Danian posted a photo of his daughter-in-law in the group, she is a good girl, my two grandsons saw it and said that they would find such a daughter-in-law when they grow up, haha." ”

"What?"

"Happy family, oh, it's the group on the phone, you don't understand. ”

Old man Yang smiled, he really didn't understand the things on these mobile phones.

He snapped his fingers, Lao Huang got up and stretched out his waist and waged his tail to the front to explore the way for him, and it arched open when there was a chair blocking the way, and the second child of the Yang family was very surprised: "This is Lao Huang? I remember that last year it didn't move much, why is it so energetic this year?"

"Ancestors, bless you. "Old man Yang doesn't know the reason either.

The fire of the stove was vigorous, so Yang Shubao wrapped the sweet potato in aluminum foil and pasted it with mud, stuffed it into the stove and burned it.

Above the stove is a baking tray with dried fruits such as hazelnuts, pine nuts and chestnuts.

The second child of the Yang family stretched out his hand to roast it, Yang Shubao helped pinch open the hazelnuts for them to eat, the hazelnuts have been fried, and then roasted hot with fire, eating in the mouth is full of flavor, very enjoyable.

"It's delicious, it's delicious. The second child of the Yang family laughed.

The two old men did not have good teeth, and it was very difficult to eat dried fruits, but they liked the taste.

It's the taste of their childhood.

Time goes back to before the liberation, when their childhood snacks all depended on this mountain.

The fifth elder of the Yang family finally came late, his physical condition was not as good as that of the second elder of the Yang family, holding on to crutches and frowning.

The old man of the Yang family was sandwiching sweet potatoes, and when he saw him coming, he laughed and said, "Fifth brother, you smelled the smell of roasted sweet potatoes, right? ”

Seeing the two brothers, the fifth elder of the Yang family finally smiled: "Isn't that what a problem? You two are quite good here, what about the boss? He can't be in a hurry and not come, right?"

"It's early, he went over to talk to his father and mother first, you think he is you, so grinding?" The old man of the Yang family smashed open the sweet potato, steaming.

Peel off the aluminum foil, inside is the roasted and ripe sweet potato, peel off the skin of the melon is a yellow, orange and orange soft melon pulp with gold wires, honey-like melon water bubbles out, and the sweet smell makes people can't help but swallow saliva.

The smile of the fifth master of the Yang family disappeared again, and he said: "I also want to come early, this is going out My second daughter-in-law is a demon, alas." ”

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with him, don't say you're unhappy about the Chinese New Year today, anyway, it's better to have a smaller population if the family has more people, so I can't take care of it." The fifth master's face was full of sadness when he said this.

Yang Shubao knocked on another sweet potato, and he grabbed a handful of snow and sprinkled it on it, which was their hometown version of the snow-covered flaming mountain, which could quickly cool down.

Old man Yang beckoned: "Eat sweet potatoes and talk about something happy." ”
