Tang Shuang looked at the guy in front of him speechlessly.

This little man not only proudly said that his ass was as white as a white chrysanthemum, but also his little hand pia~pia kept patting his little ass, walking while patting.

Tang Shuang couldn't stand it, and said, "Can you be civilized?

Candy smiled and pia again, and said, "It's very comfortable to pat it." ”

Tang Shuang said with an unkind look in his eyes: "Do you want your ass to bloom?"

Candy Er decisively withdrew her right hand that was slapped on her buttocks, instead hugged the flower with both hands, looked at Tang Shuang innocently with big eyes, and hurriedly shook her head: "Don't shoot ~ Don't shoot ~ Ho ho ho." ”

Count you as acquaintances.

He took the lead and said, "Go, keep up, everyone is far away." ”

Leaving the main road in the cemetery, the old Tang family began to walk through the tombs.

This cemetery covers an extremely wide area, with more than 10,000 square meters. It is 10 o'clock in the morning, the sun is shining, warm and comfortable, there are many pines and cypresses planted in the cemetery, although it is the middle of winter, but it is still lush and green. In stark contrast is the beech, a tall beech with a reddish-brown leaf on top that rustles in the breeze and leaves are colorful.

In the tombs, people gather in groups of three or five, quietly cleaning the tombstones, placing offerings, and expressing their sorrows.

Candy walked at the back, walking through the tombstones, a small man, only a head that appeared and disappeared from time to time.

Tang Shuang was worried that she would lose it, and said, "Come, you go ahead, hurry up and keep up with Dad." ”

Candy Er muttered, snorted, and said, "The Lun family is already desperately leaving~ How can you hurry up! Do you want to leave me?"

She has short legs and small steps, and she takes steps very quickly, but her steps are very short, and she seems to walk fast, but she doesn't actually go far.

"Let me carry you on my back, but you won't. ”

"The Lun family is a big child, I don't want you to hug it. ”

"Okay, good, you have worked hard, I will follow you, and I will not leave you alone. ”

Candy looked ahead and found that her father, grandfather, Da Bai, and Erbai had all gone far away, and Tang Yu turned around and waved to her. She thought about it, ran up with Hua Buling in her arms, and went to chase Tang Yu.

"Be careful, don't wrestle. Tang Shuang shouted behind him.

"Hee-hee, drop Xiaoshuang, I don't want you, ha. The little guy turned back to Tang Shuang and said loudly as he ran.

"Be careful!"

As soon as Tang Shuang's words fell, the little guy fulfilled it, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground with a click.

Tang Shuang took two steps forward and picked up the candy that was curled up from the ground, "How is it, did the fall hurt?"

"Hehehe~"

Candy lifted her little face and smiled awkwardly but politely.

Tang Shuang saw that her pants were full of dust, and said, "What are you smiling at, ask if you have fallen in pain?"

Candy shook her head.

"Speak!"

"It doesn't hurt. Look, the flowers for grandma are good, I protect them. ”

Candy took out the flowers hidden in her arms, and it was good, she didn't fall at all, and she was delicate.

Just now, she curled up her little body, just to protect the flowers.

Tang Shuang touched her little head and said, "I'll hold the flowers, can you hold my hand?" ”

Candy thought for a while and said, "Okay, listen to Xiaoshuang." ”

handed the flowers into Tang Shuang's hands, then looked down at his little clothes and pants, which were dirty, and hurriedly patted off the dust.

"Hey, there's a baby here. Candy suddenly noticed something, pointed to a tombstone next to her, and said.

The tombstone has a picture of a baby who is still swaddling.

It's a baby's grave.

"Frosty, what is this?" asked Candy in surprise.

"What? Tombstones. ”

"There's a baby on the tombstone. ”

"What's so strange about that. ”

"Little baby, what, why did you die?"

"People have good and bad luck, who can say. Adults have passed away, and children have passed away. ”

Candy suddenly remembered that Xiaoshuang talked about the premature death, children are easy to die, is this just an early death?

emmmm…… While true, it's rude to say this in this place.

Tang Shuang said: "Let's go, we must be solemn and solemn in front of the tombstone, we must not joke and talk nonsense, and we must respect the deceased." ”

"Oh. ”

Candy obediently stretched out her little hand for Tang Shuang to lead, and suddenly curiously approached the tombstone to see, there was a text on the tombstone, she read it word by word a few times, she couldn't read it anymore, she didn't know many words, and asked Tang Shuang: "Xiaoshuang, what is written here?"

Tang Shuang looked down, stunned, and didn't speak.

"Xiaoshuang, what is this written?" asked Candy Girl, it was really annoying that she didn't know how to read.

"Let's go, grandpa has gone a long way. ”

In the distance, Tang Hongjun and his party were about to disappear, but fortunately, Tang Shuang knew the location of his grandmother's tombstone, otherwise he would have lost his way in the cemetery.

"Xiaoshuang, tell Candy what this is. ”

Candy Er was very curious about the words on the tombstone, there were not so many words on other tombstones, but this little baby wrote a lot of words, she was very curious. Moreover, the baby's tombstone, she saw it for the first time.

"I really want to know?" asked Tang Shuang.

"Well, I think. ”

Tang Shuang thought for a while and said: "Then listen carefully, it says: Under the tombstone is our little baby, he neither cries nor makes trouble, he only lives for twenty-one days, and it costs us forty yuan." He came into the world, looked around, was not satisfied, and went back. ”

Candy Candy froze in place, suddenly wiped her eyes, raised her little face, and said, "Xiaoshuang, it's so pitiful, such a young baby has died, what's the matter?"

Tang Shuang saw that her eyes were red, but she didn't cry, just stared at him, waiting for an answer.

"It's written on the tombstone, the baby came to this world to take a look, and he was not satisfied, so he went back again......"

"Where did you go back?" asked Candy.

The word heaven came to Tang Shuang's mind, and he was about to say it, but he heard Candy say: "He's dead, isn't he?" Returning to the embrace of nature, just like the leaves in front of our house, they fall to the ground in autumn, this is the law, right?"

Tang Shuang was stunned, looked at Candy'er's serious little face, and said, "Yes, you're right, remember what your brother said to you?"

Candy nodded, of course, yes.

Tang Shuang told Candy about the problem of life and death, when walking by Aixi Lake, he used the maple leaves falling on the side of the road as a metaphor to talk about the process of the leaves from spring to autumn, and the life and death of people are the same, it is a natural law, so there is no need to worry about the sky, there is no need to panic, this is a natural process.

He didn't expect Candy Candy to remember it, and it was really surprising and relieved to hear the word "regular" from her mouth.

Candy squatted in front of the tombstone, looking at the photo of the baby on it, and couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl, but the baby was smiling happily.

She stretched out her hand, wiped it on the photo, and said, "Xiaoshuang, no one here came to sweep the baby's grave, have his parents forgotten him?"

Tang Shuang said: "I must not have forgotten that they love this little baby very much, but we came too early and people haven't come yet." ”

"When are they coming?" asked Candy.

"Hmm...... By the time we got back, they should have arrived. ”

"Oh. Candy continued to squat in front of the tombstone, and she didn't know what she was looking at, Tang Shuang wanted to ask if you were not afraid.

"Xiaoshuang, shall we put a grandma's flower for this little baby?" Candy looked at Tang Shuang, her eyes were extremely pure.

Tang Shuang immediately handed the flower to Candy and said, "Okay, you take out one and put it in front of the tombstone." ”

"Grandma wouldn't be angry, would she?" asked Candy.

Tang Shuang: "Definitely not. Not only not, but she will be very happy, because our candy is really kind-hearted. Kind children are little angels, and everyone loves them. ”

Candy smiled, quickly retracting her smile. She pulled out a pure white chrysanthemum from the bouquet, carefully placed it in front of the tombstone, and muttered: "Don't be afraid, baby, my sister will give you a white flower, you take it first, your parents will come to see your ...... soon"

……

"Let's go, we should go. Tang Shuang said.

Candy stood up and took Tang Shuang's hand and left.

By the time they arrived at Grandma's house, everyone had already arrived.

Tang Shuang handed the flowers to Candy and said, "You go and put them in front of Grandma's tombstone." ”

Candy didn't say a word, holding the flowers meticulously in front of the tombstone.

On the tombstone is a picture of my grandmother not long before she died, a very young and beautiful mother.

Tang Hongjun trembled and took matters into his own hands, put the sacrificial supplies in order, and took out a hand towel from his arms and carefully wiped it on the tombstone.

Tang Huohuo said, "Grandpa, I'll come." ”

Tang Dajian stopped him and whispered, "Let your grandfather come by himself." ”

Everyone quietly watched Tang Hongjun slowly wipe his grandmother's tombstone inch by inch, and stared at the photos on the tombstone for a long time after wiping.

Tang Shuang held the candy in one hand and secretly glanced at the Three Swords Brother in the crowd, only to see that the Three Swords Brother was expressionless, but when his eyes moved down, he saw that his palm was clenched for a while and released for a while, which showed that his mood was very unsettled.

Tang Shuang glanced at Tang Hao, who was standing with Tang Xin, Tang Hao was stunned for a moment, quickly understood, and quietly came to Tang Sanjian's side, holding his arm, not speaking, but comforting him with practical actions.

Grandma died in childbirth when she gave birth to Brother Sanjian, so his mood at the moment is the most complicated and difficult to calm down.

……

It wasn't until other grave sweepers passed by that Tang Hongjun stood up and signaled to go.

"Is there still incense?" asked Tang Dajian.

"Yes. Tang Tian lifted the bag in his hand, and everything was inside.

Everyone continued to stroll, not home, but to the depths of the cemetery, across a stone bridge, up a hill, to a simple and solemn tombstone.

The tombstone is very tall, it is in the shape of two upright kitchen knives, there is a portrait of a man wearing a military hat on it, and below the head are three big characters - Tang Jingtao, on the pedestal of the tombstone, the dragon flying and the phoenix dance are written - the tomb of General Tang Jingtao.

There are many flowers placed in front of the tombstone, which shows that someone has just come to sweep the tomb to pay respects.

Next to the tombstone, there is a tall statue of an old general galloping on a prancing horse, as if the figure is really about to come out of the stone carving and gallop away.

Everyone put the flowers they brought in front of the tomb, and Tang Tian lit the incense and handed it to Tang Hongjun.

Tang Hongjun trembled and bent down and inserted himself into the copper tripod. There, too, was full of burning incense.

Candy has been looking left and right curiously since she arrived here, she is the first time to come, I don't know who is buried here, and I don't know what it has to do with the old Tang family, I want to ask Xiaoshuang, but just now Xiaoshuang said that in front of the tombstone, you can't joke and talk nonsense, you have to be solemn, so she endured it and wanted to ask again when she returned to the car later.

The days are still long, and she will come back in the future. The next time she comes, she will know who this old man is.

In fact, Tang Shuang doesn't come here much, and the last experience can be traced back to 5 years ago, it seems to be 5 years ago.

At that time, he was particularly curious about the shape of the tombstone, and after returning to inquire, he learned that the tombstone was two vertical kitchen knives, implying that General Tang Jingtao was holding two kitchen knives to make a revolution.

……

The group turned around and went back, and today's Chinese New Year's Eve ancestor worship was all over.

The so-called ancestor worship, for the old Tang family, is to pay tribute to grandma and General Tang Jingtao.

The old Tang family has no ancestors, or they can't find their ancestors.

Root, broken.

Tang Hongjun didn't know where he was from, he didn't know where his hometown was, and he didn't even know his surname.

His surname was Tang, and he was given by his company commander at that time, that is, General Tang Jingtao on the tombstone now.

Tang Hongjun joined the army at the age of 16, went to the battlefield on the first day, took a shoddy spear, stabbed three enemies to death, and survived the roar of guns.

When the company commander at that time, Tang Jingtao, heard about it, he called him over to inquire about the situation, and learned that he was 16 years old and had no name or surname, so he gave him a name, and followed him with the surname Tang, since he was a soldier of the Red Army, he was called Tang Hongjun.

At the age of 20, Tang Hongjun began to serve as Tang Jingtao's guard until the founding of the country.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, China had ten marshals, ten generals and 57 generals, among them, Tang Jingtao ranked 18th with the rank of general by virtue of his outstanding military exploits.

Later, Tang Jingtao was assigned to the Southern Military Region as the first commander and concurrently served as the commander of the Yuezhou Naval Base. The current Southern Military Region was founded by Tang Jingtao, and the backbone of the military region came from the "Iron and Steel Division" he led during the war years.

Tang Jingtao came to the Southern Military Region, and the Tang Red Army naturally followed, so the Tang family took root in Yuezhou.

Later, Tang Jingtao died in Yuezhou, followed the customs of the villagers, and was buried in this cemetery in Yuezhou, and was posthumously awarded the rank of general.

This is all the story of the older generation, but the old Tang family remembers it.

Tang Shuang heard from Tang Dajian that Tang Jingtao was very concerned about Tang Hongjun's work and life before his death, because Tang Hongjun was dumb and illiterate, so he was always worried that he would suffer a loss and be silent. When Tang Jingtao was seriously ill, he was still asking his comrades-in-arms to help him take care of Tang Hongjun.

Tang Jingtao was promoted from company commander to corps commander, half of his life was spent in the smoke and flames of war, there were many guards around him, I can't count them, these people came and went, they were all young men when they came, and they all became corpses when they left, and the only one left in the end was Tang Hongjun.

In fact, the company led by Tang Jingtao back then, the people in it were the only ones who could follow him to the liberation, and the others died on the battlefield one after another.

Therefore, the relationship between Tang Hongjun and Tang Jingtao was tempered in blood and fire, and it was by no means as simple as superiors and subordinates.

Tang Shuang also heard that after his grandmother died, Tang Jingtao introduced his grandfather to him, but he refused.

Tang Shuang thought while walking, and unconsciously arrived at the exit of the cemetery, and suddenly saw someone in front of the tombstone of the little baby before, it was a young couple, and there was a little girl jumping around her, about three or four years old.

"Candy look~"

"Xiaoshuang, look~"

Tang Shuang and Candy Candy pointed at them at the same time, and then looked at each other and smiled.
