"Danyang, what do you want to buy?"

The owner of the funeral goods store on the street knew my grandmother, so he also knew me, and looked at me with a slight surprise: "You want to buy paper money"

I nodded, looking at the brightly colored paper figures in the store behind him, "I want to buy paper money." “

"Why did you come by yourself, what about your grandma, who wants to use it."

As soon as I heard him ask my grandmother, I felt uncomfortable, and my eyes turned red: "My grandmother can't come"

The owner of the funeral shop looked at me with confusion, "Did your grandma ask you to buy it?" He obviously didn't understand the meaning of my words, and thought that my grandma couldn't come over to show people now.

I knew it was useless to talk to him too much, so I nodded, "Well, my grandma asked me to buy it." ”

The funeral shop owner smiled instead: "Danyang has grown up, and he will come out to help grandma buy things, but why didn't you go to school today." ”

I lowered my eyes: "I'm taking a leave of absence." ”

"It's not good not to go to school, you have to study hard, your grandma has told me about you, saying that you will go to college in the future, come, how much do you want to buy."

I looked at the thick stack of yellow paper, I had no idea about it, handed him a green hundred-dollar bill, and opened my mouth: "I want a hundred dollars." ”

"Ah" The owner of the funeral shop looked at me and was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly: "Danyang, how anxious is your grandmother, she didn't tell you how much money to buy, if you buy a hundred yuan, you can't get it back."

"How much do you buy?" I muttered, I didn't have much energy, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to send away if I bought less.

"What do you want to do with your grandma, if it's a simple little ghost, just buy five or six yuan, your grandma used to buy eight yuan and nine, it's auspicious, so I can give some."

I looked at the owner of the funeral parlor: "It's to send something away, a very powerful thing." ”

"Oh."

The owner of the funeral shop nodded when he heard me say this, he understood a little, and he knew what my grandmother did, so he didn't ask more: "Then buy it for twenty yuan, it will be millions after being sent below, but this doesn't work, you can't hold it." As he spoke, he scratched his head: "Don't you have other adults in your family, show it to someone and let someone in the family come and get it, I can't help you give this thing, your grandma is very particular, if I see an outsider take this thing home, she will definitely not be happy." ”

I understand what he meant, generally not forced to take this thing home, and will only take it to his own home in desperation, if an outsider comes to the door with the paper, the meaning is particularly bad, and it is easy to be beaten.

"I can hug it, I'll hug it twice" I looked at the funeral shop owner and handed him the money: "Uncle, you can give me twenty yuan to burn paper." ”

He borrowed money, touched my head, and muttered while looking for money for me: "Danyang has really grown up, maybe I can take over your grandma's business in the future, then your grandma's ability is great, and I admire her here." ”

I couldn't help but let myself cry, if I had a little bit of my grandma's ability, how would I be so wasteful

Twenty yuan of burning paper is indeed a lot, I walked home with difficulty, many neighbors along the way looked at me, I don't know why I hold so much burning paper, but they didn't ask much, they all know what my grandma is doing, although some shouted me to slow down, and didn't come to help, I also know that they didn't mean not to help, because this burning paper is indeed very unlucky, I felt very sensible that day, really like an adult, very considerate of others, no child's mind, After throwing the burning paper into the yard, I went to hug it for a second time, and the owner of the funeral shop told me in the back: "Danyang, those are all copper coins, your grandmother knows, go back and let her print the money herself."

I hummed, understood what he meant, I saw my grandmother do this, and I will, after the paper was thrown into the yard, I closed the door, my expression was particularly calm, I knew that it was useless to cry, it was useless to make trouble, I could only rely on myself, I first divided the two thick stacks of burning paper into more than a dozen thin and uniform parts, grandma once said, too thick, the paper below will not be able to print money, and it will be useless below, so I dare not make a mistake in any step, after dividing the stack, I took out the remaining green one hundred yuan, flattened, Then start to stick it on the burning paper, paste one, vacate a distance of 100 yuan, and then paste it next to it, you must pay careful attention, because there is no mark after these seals are pasted, so you can't paste it heavy, and you can't spend it under the heavy paste, the first trip is good to paste some, but the second trip is more difficult, because I am afraid that the length of the stay is not enough, so I specially ran to the back slightly, even if this piece of burning paper I don't have much money, and I can't put the money to the weight, so that this stack is heavy, and it becomes fake money below.

Grandma did this very quickly, but I did it very slowly, until noon, and I hadn't finished pasting the money, grandpa walked out of the house and saw me kneeling on the ground and the paper money spread out all over the yard couldn't help but be stunned: "Dan, what are you doing, your grandma is fine?"

I thought it was probably because my grandfather thought I was ignorant, so I raised my eyes and looked at my grandfather: "Grandpa, I'm going to send that ghost tree away." ”

"What"

"I'm going to send it away, and if I send it away, I won't be harming people." I opened my mouth to look at my grandfather, lowered my head and continued to paste the mark, and my grandfather squatted in front of me in a few steps: "What do you want to send, you are a child, Danyang, you can't have anything to do anymore, grandpa is going out to find someone who understands now, don't let me worry." ”

I shook my head: "Grandpa, it's okay, it won't hurt me if it collects money, grandma also sent money before, I will send it, I won't let grandma have anything to do." ”

"You" Grandpa looked at me, suddenly cried again, and sat directly on the ground: "Evil, old woman, you can wake up quickly, what has become of the child." ”

I didn't cry, I can't cry anymore, I know, even if my grandfather goes to find someone who understands, he can't say that he will find it, so I don't have much time, I have to deal with this matter tonight.

Grandpa was probably nervous grandma so a little sad excessively, he didn't even ask me what the money was, this was a real big ticket in the year, he didn't ask, I naturally didn't say, until the afternoon I sweated profusely after pasting the paper money, and began to go out again, I went to buy a bunch of good fruits, the reason why it is a good fruit, is that I was particularly greedy before, but grandma rarely bought it for me, because it was more expensive than the average, she said that I am a child as long as the nutrients are absorbed well, what fruits to eat are the same, Some slippery ones may not be good, but I want to buy them this time, and I spent another 20 yuan to buy a few red Fuji apples, as well as yellow, orange, orange and black spots of bananas, and oranges the size of a fist, even the fruit shop owner looked at me and asked: "Danyang, what kind of big offering do you want to make?" ”

I didn't respond, just took the money to find me and went back, if I saw it in the past, I would definitely be hungry, but that day no, I didn't seem to have eaten, but I wasn't hungry, I put things together after I got home, because there was too much paper burned, I couldn't take it, and finally my grandfather went to the warehouse and turned out a small trolley so that I could transport it all at once, grandpa wanted to go with me, I didn't let it, because someone at home had to watch grandma, grandpa said he went, I still wouldn't let me, I said you can't see it, I can see, I can communicate, I give it money, it won't hurt me, I didn't mature like me that day, even my grandfather looked at me and said, "Danyang, you have really grown up." ”

I don't know if I've grown up, but I'm really not afraid that day, I'm not afraid, it seems that I started to rebound after reaching a peak, that's the kind of feeling, anyway, if my grandma is not there, I can't live, then what am I afraid of.

Night falls

I began to pack my things, first took out all the books in my school bag, put the incense and the cinnabar that my grandmother had put in the box into my school bag, then stacked the burning paper under the trolley, and finally tied the fruit bag to the trolley.
