Evening!

As night began to fall, the land began to liven up, and many fields were filled with people!

My grandfather rode an electric tricycle loaded with a lot of things needed for the next worship, including paper money, incense, fireworks, and bamboo sticks and candles needed to deliver lamps.

At this time, Lin Tian sat behind the electric tricycle!

This electric tricycle was bought only this year, and with the development of society, the original three-wheeled bicycle was gradually eliminated in the countryside and gradually changed to an electric tricycle.

Passing through the potholed mountain road, I met pedestrians who also went to worship on the way, some people's ancestral graves were located in remote areas, so they used picks to carry things forward, and some people who were richer drove a small truck straight to the cemetery.

Suddenly, the sky resounded with the explosion of fireworks, and watched the colorful fireworks bloom in the sky.

Lin Tian looked up at the sky and looked at the different forms and colorful fireworks, the fireworks that bloomed were like amorous meteor showers, like parachutes falling from the sky, and also dancing in the night sky like fireflies. Beautiful fireworks, blooming, falling, a moment of beauty, a moment of brilliance.

At that moment, the whole world belonged to them, and the whole world shone with their bloom, what a beautiful fireworks, as if pinning on beautiful hopes, as if pinning on the light of love.

"Xiaotian, I haven't been back for so many years, do you remember where the old grave is at home?"

Just when Lin Tian was looking at the fireworks in the sky and was in a trance, the grandfather sitting in front suddenly asked Lin Tian behind him.

When Lin Tian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said, "Grandpa, if I'm not mistaken, it should be about two or three hundred meters in front!"

"Hehe, it's pretty much right there. Grandpa smiled and said.

A few hundred meters away is very fast!

When he arrived, my grandfather parked his electric tricycle on the side of the road, which was a wide dirt road with large patches of farmland on both sides of the road, which were usually used to grow crops.

Then Lin Tian and his grandfather moved the things in the car to the old cemetery in batches.

Lin Tian made a preliminary estimate that there were several bundles of paper money that needed to be burned, seven or eight rolls of firecrackers, and six or seven large fireworks, not counting other things, there were so many large items alone.

When he came to the vicinity of the cemetery, Lin Tian saw several graves, arranged in order. Then he put his things on the ground and turned back. I went back and forth several times, and I finally moved the things in the car.

Grandpa picked up a shovel, dug a small pit in the center of the grave, and then lit incense in front of the pit, and after the incense fell, Grandpa and Lin Tian worshipped at the grave.

Then, my grandfather took the paper money from the side, untied the rope tied to it, first took out a bundle of paper money and lit it with a lighter, and then put the paper money in it after it was almost burned......

Not far from the old tomb, there is also the ancestral grave of a big family here, Lin Tian saw that in the morning, the people who drove back were standing around the cemetery at this time, presumably it should be their family's ancestral grave.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a rich man, the decorations of the ancestral tombs are different from other people's, and the ancestral tombs in Lin Tian's house are all very ordinary, just a tombstone and a dirt bag. And the one over there is amazing, the grave of the entire ancestral tomb is made of granite, not to mention, but also pasted with tiles, and there are stripes on the tiles, which are put together to form a complete pattern, especially for each grave, it looks different immediately, but its own is much worse.

Seeing this, Lin Tian couldn't help but think in his heart, "Shouldn't my family's old tomb also be rebuilt, at least to make it more domineering......

In the past, when I didn't have money, I naturally wouldn't think so, even if I had this plan, I couldn't do anything, although it seemed that it wouldn't take much to rebuild the old grave at home into a decent grave, but in fact, the cost was quite expensive.

After all, in the countryside, the master polishes and carves by hand, including the patterns and words on it, using the old craftsmanship passed down from his family. Therefore, the labor cost is more expensive than that of machine grinding.

However, this amount of money is not a problem for Lin Tian now......

Grandpa burned paper over there, Lin Tian stood aside and watched, because of the New Year and worship, so this time there is no need to kneel to worship at the grave.

Every Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan and other memorial festivals, people living in the countryside will go to sweep the tombs and burn paper money for the ancestors. According to the superstitious beliefs of rural people, it is said that the paper money burned for the ancestors can be circulated and used in the underworld.

The custom of burning paper money is said to have originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, Cai Lun improved papermaking and made a lot of money, and Cai Lun's brother and sister-in-law Cai Mo and Huiniang were very envious. Huiniang asked her husband Cai Mo to follow Cai Lun to learn papermaking, but Cai Mo was anxious, and he went home and opened a paper shop without learning enough technology. The quality of the paper they make is so poor that no one wants to buy it. Hui Niang thought of a plan and taught Cai Mo like this.

The next day, Cai Mo cried and said that Huiniang had a sudden illness and died. The neighbors all came to comfort Cai Mo, and suddenly Hui Niang's voice came from the coffin, shouting to let me out. Everyone opened the coffin, and Hui Niang jumped out, saying that she went to the underworld after her death, and the king of Hades wanted her to push and grind, but because Cai Mo burned a lot of paper money for herself, the little ghost rushed to grind her. She gave the money to Hades, and Hades let her go. Cai Mo deliberately asked: "I didn't burn money for you." Hui Niang pointed to the burning pile of paper and said, "This is the money, which can be used in the underworld." "Everyone saw that paper money was so useful, so they came to buy Cai Mo's paper.

Because the day of Hui Niang's resurrection is the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, so on this day every year, everyone will burn paper money for their ancestors, and this custom has slowly been handed down.

While burning paper for the ancestors, my grandfather was still reading on his lips: "xxx, I sent you money to spend." Your grandchildren have come to see you today......

At the same time, fireworks continue to rise in the sky, lighting up the originally dark night sky, and all kinds of fireworks are ......

Bang bang bang~!

After Lin Tian burned the paper money here, when the paper money in the small pit was completely burned, he set up the firecrackers and fireworks that had been prepared, and then Lin Tian used the small stick that his grandfather had just picked up the fire to use the sparks on it to ignite the fuse of the firecracker.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of crackling firecrackers rang out, which was so loud that even the sound of fireworks explosions in the sky could not hide the sound of firecrackers......

In the end, my grandfather and Lin Tian respectively inserted four bamboo sticks in front of the old grave, lit a candle inside, and then put a special lampshade on it, so that the purpose of windproof could be achieved.

The lampshade is generally made by oneself, and some are bought, usually made of colored paper of various colors, and there are many words written on it to remember the ancestors!
