After chatting with Wang Xiuying, Chen Qingdong immediately called Chen Hongbing and told him that he should go home and go to the grave together, Chen Hongbing, who was in the eastern suburbs of the county town with Zheng Hongtao and a few technicians to inspect the 200 acres of land, immediately drove to buy a plate of 10,000 firecrackers, and then went home.

After Chen Hongbing entered the house, he saw his father, mother, and Chen Qingdong all sitting in the yard making corn, except for Chen Qingdong's face full of smiles and a wink at him, the expressions on his parents' faces were not very good-looking.

Chen Hongbing also knew that this was because he often didn't go home, and even his mother called him to come back, but he didn't reply, which made his parents unhappy, so he walked in with a smiling face and said, "Dad, Mom." ”

Chen Weimin said with a dark face while making corn: "Do you still know how to go home?"

Chen Hongbing smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Dad, I've been a little busy lately......"

"Busy, you know busy!" Chen Weimin reprimanded, "Are you the secretary of the municipal party committee or the secretary of the county party committee?

Chen Hongbing scratched the back of his head with a smile, didn't dare to speak, and hurriedly walked to Wang Xiuying and sat down next to her, helping her make corn together.

After all, Wang Xiuying still feels sorry for her son, although when Chen Hongbing first entered the door just now, Wang Xiuying deliberately put on a face for him, and she was a little angry in her heart, thinking that he hadn't gone home for so long. However, being a mother is being a mother, after taking a few more glances at her son, the anger in her heart immediately disappeared, and she looked at her son and said: "Hongbing, I see that you have not become thinner now, but you have become darker, and your belly is more obvious than before, you must be drinking, right?

Chen Hongbing hurriedly said: "Hey, I remembered my mother, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

Wang Xiuying wanted to say something more, but Chen Weimin threw a corn cob that had just been seeded on the ground in his hand, patted the dust on his body and stood up, and said, "Don't get it, you two, clean up, let's go to the grave now!"

After speaking, Chen Weimin walked towards the house.

Wang Xiuying glared at Chen Weimin's back and whispered, "Don't care, your father is that stinky temper." ”

Of course, Chen Hongbing didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Mom." ”

Wang Xiuying wanted to tell Chen Hongbing about his marriage, but thinking of Chen Qingdong's admonition, she had to reluctantly hold back, but still said: "Hongbing, do you want to go home more often when you are fine?"

Seeing his mother's already somewhat old face, Chen Hongbing felt a little sad and said, "Mom, I remember, I will come back often in the future." ”

"Well, that's right. You've all grown up, and we parents don't want you to do anything, we just want you to come home often. ”

"Well, Mom, don't worry, I must remember it this time!"

Wang Xiuying said again: "If you have anything in the future and feel that it is inconvenient to tell us, just talk to Xiaodong more." You two are brothers, what can't you talk about? No matter how many friends you have outside, you still can't compare to the feelings of brothers!"

Chen Hongbing felt that the damn sentence seemed to have something in his words, so he turned his head and glanced at Chen Qingdong, Chen Qingdong shook his head lightly at Chen Hongbing, revealing a playful smile.

Wang Xiuying said again: "Red soldier, let me talk to you, what do you think your brother is doing? Do you remember what I just said?"

Chen Hongbing hurriedly nodded and said, "Mom, I remember, don't worry!"

Wang Xiuying nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's good, that's good." ”

Chen Weimin changed into clean clothes and walked out of the house, and said, "Xiuying, you go and prepare four tributes." ”

Although Wang Xiuying has always been relatively strong in front of Chen Weimin, in the face of major events, she has always taken Chen Weimin as the backbone, and immediately stood up, entered the matching room in the east, and quickly prepared the four tributes.

Chen Weimin asked again: "Red soldiers, have you bought the firecrackers?"

"I've bought it, and I'm in the trunk, and it's ten thousand rings of earth red. Chen Hongbing said, "Dad, let's drive, shall we?"

Chen Qingdong washed his hands, took the tribute, and said, "Yes, Dad, it's a little cold now, let's drive." ”

Chen Weimin thought for a while and said, "Okay, then let's drive." ”

Chen Hongbing was very happy and said, "Then I'll go and reverse the car first!" After speaking, he ran out.

Wang Xiuying pulled Chen Qingdong's clothes and said, "Qingdong, don't forget to give your brother a good chat." ”

Chen Qingdong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely live up to my mission, find out all my brother's thoughts, and report to you when I come back, how about it?"

"Okay, it's better to be Xiaodong!" Wang Xiuying smiled with relief.

Chen Hongbing drove the car to the cemetery of the old Chen family in the suburbs, Chen Qingdong sat in the passenger seat, and Chen Weimin sat in the back seat.

At this time, it is already late autumn, the leaves have already turned yellow, and the ground is also full of dead leaves, every time a gust of autumn wind blows, the pieces of yellow autumn leaves will dance in the air, revealing an inexplicable, exclusive to the desolation of autumn.

The three fathers and sons of the Chen family did not speak, looking at the autumn scenery outside the window, feeling the cool breeze pouring in from the open window, thinking about their own thoughts, and thinking about their own thoughts.

Their family's cemetery is in a field more than ten miles away from the southern suburbs of the county, and every year during the Qingming Festival and the Chinese New Year, Chen Weimin will bring his two sons here to bury their ancestors.

In fact, their family moved here from other places after the founding of New China, and the cemetery here only buried people from Chen Weimin's grandfather's generation, as for the great-grandfather of Chen Qingdong, who left his ancestral teachings, he was not buried here, but buried in the cemetery of his hometown.

It's just that the cemetery in their hometown has been destroyed during the Anti-Japanese War, and the body of that great-grandfather has long been missing.

Therefore, Chen Weimin and they can't set off firecrackers in front of that great-ancestor's grave today, but they just hope that great-ancestor knows underground and can be relieved that the fifth generation of their old Chen family after him has finally come out to be an official!

After Chen Weimin put the tribute, he knelt in front of his father's grave, Chen Hongbing and Chen Qingdong knelt behind Chen Weimin on both sides, Chen Weimin did not speak for a long time, but just maintained a kneeling posture, Chen Hongbing and Chen Qingdong also maintained the same movements as their father.

However, in Chen Qingdong's heart, he silently said to the great-grandfather who left the ancestral teachings: "Great-grandfather, great-grandson Qingdong came to see you today. With the blessing of your elder, I will soon take up my post in Chenqiao Town. I hope you have a spirit in heaven and can bless me to continue to ascend! I will come to see your old man again in the future!"

Chen Weimin knelt silently in front of his father's grave for seven or eight minutes, and finally stood up without saying anything, and said to Chen Hongbing and Chen Qingdong: "You two set off the firecrackers." ”

Chen Hongbing replied and gave Chen Qingdong a look, and Chen Qingdong withdrew his "divine friendship" with his great-grandfather, stood up, and took the firecracker with Chen Hongbing, and lit it in front of the grave.

The father and son stood beside them, looking at the flying red confetti, listening to the sound of "crackling" in their ears, and their hearts were full of emotions.

The 10,000 firecrackers went off for about a minute, and after the breeze blew away the soot, Chen Qingdong found that his father was already in tears!

Chen Weimin, who has always shown himself as a tough guy in front of the children, didn't want the two children to see his tears, so he turned around and said, "You two wait here for a while, and I'll go over there." ”

Seeing his father's back walking farther and farther, Chen Qingdong took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Hongbing, and said, "Brother, why don't you go over there?"

Chen Hongbing took the cigarette, knocked it in the palm of his hand in turn, and said, "Okay, go over there for a walk." ”

The two brothers stepped on the ridge and walked towards the river in front, and Chen Qingdong said: "Brother, in fact, we gave me a task today." ”

Chen Hongbing turned his head and glanced at Chen Qingdong, and then smiled bitterly: "It should be a matter of marriage again." ”

Chen Qingdong smiled: "Yes, it's a matter of marriage." Brother, you have been with Sun Ying for a long time, I heard our mother say that people like you very much, and I feel that you also have a good impression of others, otherwise you would get married, why do you always drag it out. ”

Chen Hongbing shook his head lightly and said: "It's easy to say, but getting married is not about buying something, you can return it if you don't like it when you buy it, you really can't return it, you can still throw it away, but marriage is different, I'm already a person who has been married once, if I regret it again, can I get divorced again?"

Chen Qingdong asked, "Brother, are you still not sure if you like Sun Ying?"

Chen Hongbing was silent for more than ten seconds before he said: "How can I say that I like it, I also like Sun Ying, she is a good girl, she looks good, and her personality is okay, and I don't think she looks like the kind of person who loves vanity, otherwise, I would have broken up with her a long time ago." But, Qingdong, I'm from here, so I know a little more about this than you, and getting married is not the same as falling in love, and it can be said that it is much worse. When you fall in love, you see each other's strengths, and you just like each other. But getting married is different, getting married, to put it bluntly, is living together, and this day is not as beautiful as falling in love. So I think that at least two people have to have the same ideas and a common language before the marriage can be concluded. Otherwise, even if you get married, I think it's enough to choke. ”

Chen Qingdong laughed and teased: "Brother, I haven't found out yet, it turns out that you are still a marriage expert!"

Chen Hongbing slapped Chen Qingdong's arm and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, you don't laugh at me anymore!"
