On April 3, 20 years of the Republic of China, He Jianye, who had dinner tiredly, went back to his room and fell asleep, and before going to bed, his eldest brother confessed that he would get up at dawn tomorrow morning and prepare to worship his ancestors! In a small county where there are no recreational activities and few recreational activities, a minor who is restricted from entering Fengyue venues (under the age of 18, He Fu stipulates that men reach adulthood at the age of 18, and a coming-of-age ceremony must be held when they reach adulthood. I had to go back to sleep, and besides, I had run a lot of roads in the past two days, and my body was a little overwhelmed. In the middle of the night, the Qingming rain came on time, like a chattering old man, brushing and caressing everything in the world, bringing its unique language to every living thing in the world; The flowers in the courtyard of He Mansion fell silently with the drizzle, and the faint fragrance in the nose drifted into the room with the wind, He Jianye was dreaming of the stars of the future generations, with the faint fragrance accompanied by the drizzling sound, woke up without warning, and woke up without sleep, I wanted to light the lamp, but I thought about getting up early in the morning, and I didn't know how to toss the ancestor worship activities tomorrow, so I decided to keep in a good state and rest well, but I couldn't sleep when I was lying on the bed, "Forget it, try the Dafa of counting sheep in the future generations" He Jianye thought of it, and counted "1, 2, 3, 4...... 100......1000..." No, this doesn't mean anything! I still can't sleep! He Jianye, who was thinking crankily in his head, didn't know when he fell asleep deeply, and it felt like it had only been a few minutes, "Second Young Master, it's time to get up" A voice called someone in his sleep, "Don't get up, just fell asleep" Someone in his sleep directly ignored it, "Knock, knock, knock" "Second Young Master, it's time to get up" Accompanied by the knock on the door, there was a louder shout, He Jianye reluctantly said, "Oh, I know", slowly got up, dressed, washed, and looked at myself in the mirror by the light, I, typical swollen, the eyes are swollen, and there are bloodshots. "MD, hell," He Jianye thought hatefully.

After eating breakfast simply ("It's really simple, just millet porridge and kimchi, not even steamed buns", someone thought hatefully), the two brothers supported He Lin in front, slowly thought about the ancestral hall and walked into the ancestral hall, and the ancestor worship ceremony with Lin Musen, the chief housekeeper of He Mansion, as the master of ceremonies, officially began.

"Before I begin, I will announce the discipline: after the ancestor worship begins, you must remain solemn and quiet, and you are not allowed to frolic, chase, or stand on the stool or table." Lin Musen, under the backdrop of a plain suit, the treasure elephant solemnly announced: "He Mansion ancestor worship begins!"

End of the ancestor worship ceremony (master of ceremonies singing)"

Noon passed, and the ancestor worship ceremony of He Mansion was finally completed, and the tired He Jianye still wanted to go back to the house to make up for his sleep? "Second child, you go wash your face first, look at your haggard appearance! We are waiting for you to have lunch" He Fuchu said, "Yes, big brother" He Jianye had no choice but to wash his face and come back; At noon, it was still a vegetarian meal, there was no meat on the whole table, and the facial dishes were boiled with salted water.

Tomb sweeping is usually carried out in the afternoon, when the crackling firecrackers around one after another, the whole family followed behind He Lin and set off towards the He family cemetery, the sky was drizzling, and the weeds on the side of the road were glowing with dark green, as if they were also missing their loved ones. He Jianye carried a hoe, and after coming to the cemetery, he put down the hoe, first pulled the weeds on the grave bag with his eldest brother, and then loosened the soil on the grave. By this time, the mother had laid out the contents of the basket in a row, and stood aside respectfully. The eldest brother lit the paper money, and there were words in his mouth, I couldn't understand what my mother was saying, but from the solemn looks of the whole family, I knew that this must be a very sacred ceremony, and there was no room for sloppiness. The mother sprinkled a cup of rice wine on the grave, and then inserted various exquisite paper wreaths into the grave bag, and the eldest brother lit firecrackers. The sound of crackling firecrackers spread into the distance, and the ritual was announced. In the countryside, the deceased relatives are not buried in the same place, but Hefu, as a big clan in Qingjiang, has its own special cemetery, and it also saves them from looking for them one by one, and the sacrifices are completed one by one. He Jianye followed the tombstone in front of him, looking at the names on the tombstone, father, uncle, uncle, cousin, etc., who had been buried in the depths of memory, and the scenes that had been buried in the depths of memory came along the tombstone one by one, making He Jianye, who was standing in front of the tombstone, inexplicably sad, "Parents, grandfather, and grandmother are all right decades later?" I can't go back" He Jianye, who fell into a state of grief, burst into tears instantly, I don't know if it was because he missed his relatives decades later or these tombstones in front of him that made the memory tidal, "In the blink of an eye, I have been here for almost 1 month, and my relatives are far away decades later, I haven't been home for many years before I came, my grandfather is over 80 years old this year, and my grandmother has been blind for several years. Whenever I think of my grandfather holding a cane and my mother walking alone in the wilderness with a bamboo basket, they bent their waists to pull weeds on the grave" Such a scene suddenly appeared in He Jianye's mind, and the uncontrollable tears flowed faster!

He Jianye, who was standing in a daze, knelt down directly in front of his father's grave and shouted, "My son is not filial!" "Bang Bang" vigorously towards the grave three rings, stand up, turn around, kneel, "Bang Bang" change direction He Jianye is three rings, stand up, turn around, kneel, "Bang Bang" and then change the direction of He Jianye to pick up three rings, such as four times, respectively to the east, south, west, north four directions of the kowtow He Jianye, looked up at the sky, heart shouted "distant relatives, forgive me for my unfilial piety, you must take care of your body!" ”

"Second brother, let's go! Let's go home" He Fuchu, who was in the distance, saw that He Jianye was not in the right state, "Don't cry, my father's spirit in the sky will definitely bless us" He Fuchu continued, knowing that He Fuchu's hand could not be taken back at all, and He Jianye, who was still in grief, knelt on the ground and showed no sign of moving at all; "Second brother, it's not early, big brother will come with you another day, okay? Let's go home first" He Fuchu continued to persuade, "A few of you, come and carry the second young master into the carriage and go home" Looking at the sluggish He Jianye, He Fuchu had to call someone to come over to help.

In the evening, in the ancestral hall of Hefu, "Boss, is the second child better?" Did you ask the maid to send it over for dinner? He Lin was asking He Fuchu,

"Mother, after returning from the cemetery, the next person sent the second brother back to the room to rest, but he still came back with nothing to eat." He Fuchu replied,

"Hey! After witnessing the whole family fainting in my arms when I was 12 years old ("I am not faint, you covered me with your hands. "Someone wants to refute it), it has been abnormal for two years, and it seems that it is better to come back from studying in the United States, but today he went to his father's grave for the first time to worship this thing, is there still fear!" He Lin said sadly,

"Mother, I know, it's me who is sorry for the family" He Fuchu, who was guilty, hurriedly admitted his mistake,

"Hey! Don't talk about it, you should rest early! The second one called him over when he got up," He Lin commanded,

"Yes, Mother, I will tell someone to watch, and I will inform you of anything immediately," He Fuchu replied.
