Bo Zhong wiped his eyes, "Yes, eldest sister, don't worry." ”

Su Heting took the two brothers to the grave of Zhu Qiwen and his wife.

It is not far from the county seat to Xiaozhangzhuang.

However, this section of the road was later renovated, but it was not difficult to walk, and the group rode donkeys and took more than an hour to arrive.

For the sake of safety, Su Heting brought Nanchuan and Beimang, and Yu Jingze liked to join in the fun, so he also followed.

The ancestral graves of the old Zhu family are all in one place, and when they arrived, other people's families had basically gone back.

Poor families, at most, are several families together, on duty with a little firecracker, and the rest is to burn paper, make offerings, and pray a few words in front of the grave of their relatives: it doesn't take much time.

Su Heting asked Yu Jingze to buy firecrackers, and Yu Jingze himself also likes to set off firecrackers, so he bought a big car.

When he came, each donkey carried some on its back.

When he arrived at the place, Bo Zhong first took Shu Yu to kneel down in front of the grave and pray, and then made offerings and burned paper.

Su Heting also helped on the side, and said: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I am your eldest son-in-law Su Zhuo, my word is Heting, and now I am the county order of Tianqing County."

"Don't worry, I'll treat your eldest daughter well. Even the brother-in-law and sister-in-law will not be wronged.

"Your eldest daughter is very capable and supports a family by herself. She is very strong, no matter how much suffering and tiredness there is, she has always carried it alone. In order to let the younger siblings live a good life. They will not be allowed to live worse than others because they lost their parents at a young age.

"I have to support what she's doing, but I also hope to be able to give her a shoulder to lean on when she's tired.

"No matter whether I am rich or poor, my heart will not change.

"Well, my younger siblings are also very competitive and sensible. A-Ning changed the names of her and her younger siblings, and now Bo Zhong and Shu Yu are both studying, and Mr. said that they are quite talented. If you continue to cultivate well, you won't worry about not being able to become successful in the future.

"Zhong Ling can help A-Ning with housework, and he is very capable. The youngest Ji Xiu is also very well-behaved, and everyone likes her very much. ”

After saying this, he burned a few pieces of paper and stood up, "You guys talk slowly, I'll go over there and discuss with Brother Jingze about firing the cannon." But don't kneel for too long, the ground is too cold and it's easy to hurt yourself. ”

Although they brought mats, such a cold night would not have much effect.

Bo Zhong hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Su Heting went to talk to Yu Jingze.

After being silent for a moment, Bo Zhong lost a piece of paper and said slowly: "Dad, mother, just like what my brother-in-law said, we are all fine." Although she is not ...... The eldest sister treats us better than most parents in the world.

"We will also study hard, live well, and be a person worthy of heaven and earth in the future, so that our parents and eldest sister will be proud of us!"

Shu Yu tilted his head and asked, "Big brother, what did you just say that she wasn't?" Who? What's wrong? ”

Bo Zhong took a deep breath and smiled reluctantly, "It's okay, you go pick up firecrackers, I'll burn these pieces of paper and go over." ”

Shu Yu didn't doubt that there was him, so he got up and ran over to find Su Heting and Yu Jingze.

Bo Zhong raised his hand and touched the cold tombstone, which was still made by Yuan Ning after they had money, and the tomb was rebuilt and a tombstone was erected.

Bo Zhong closed his eyes, recalled the appearance of his parents, and said almost silently: "I know, in fact, she ...... Not our eldest sister...... On that day, the eldest sister burned for several days, and she was out of gas, and her heart was cold...... Suddenly alive again, and very different from the past.

"It's just that I want to believe that my eldest sister is still alive, and I don't want our family to be scattered like that, so I ......

"To put it mildly, although she is not our original eldest sister, she is better to us than you, she will never let us be wronged, even if she is wronged, she will not let us be wronged overnight.

"She'......," Bo Zhong choked even more, "she's a very nice person...... At first, I just thought that leaving her was like leaving my eldest sister......

"Actually, she has a lot of opportunities to leave us, and with her skills, her life will be extremely easy...... But she still chose to stay and take care of our four oil bottles.

"My younger siblings are still young, they don't understand, but I understand that every decision she makes for us is for our future. He hoped that we would get ahead in the future, but he didn't put pressure on us.

"When she was there, we knew that no matter what happens to us in the future, she is there, and home is there. Dad, mother, eldest sister, you can rest assured! ”

He wept as he spoke, and his words were interrupted several times by choking. But because the sound was extremely low, it had long been drowned in the whimpering night wind.

After saying all this, he wiped a handful of tears, kowtowed respectfully a few times, and then stood up, reluctantly looked at them a few more times, and then turned around to find Shu Yu and them.

Su Heting looked at his eyes and didn't say much, just took him a lit incense stick, and asked Nan Chuan to take him and take Shu Yu to set off the cannon himself.

Yu Jingze plays hard, jumps up and down, and plays more happily than a child.

Other people's guns were only fired for a while, and they continued to fire them for a quarter of an hour.

People from the village came to see the excitement, and the group left before leaving.

At the end of the year, this time is also the most likely time for fires, after all, the night wind is not small, there are dead branches and leaves everywhere, and the trees are brittle, and the snow does not do much at all.

Therefore, when they heard the firecrackers and fireworks here, the people in the village couldn't sit still.

Although the village is poor, but when it comes to the New Year, it is still necessary to uphold the piety of the festival, so the slightly richer will light the kerosene lamp to survive the New Year, and the family will not be rich will make a broken tile pot into it, and Zi Alitou will burn some dry firewood, which can not only light but also heat, and can also bake some miscellaneous things to eat.

Therefore, at this hour, the whole village hardly slept except for the milk doll that was really old and still holding in his arms.

Everyone came out of the house in a swarm and went to greet the chief first, and the chief selected some young men to go to the cemetery to see what was going on.

Judging from the direction, it is the ancestral tomb of the old Zhu family, so among these young people, the surname Zhu is the mainstay.

The old patriarch had fallen asleep, but at this time he was also alarmed, wearing cotton clothes and crutches, standing at the door of his house, worried.

Su Heting has always been a careful person, and he made sure that there was no spark slipping away, so he walked with confidence. Therefore, when the people of Xiao Zhangzhuang came over, they saw nothing but debris and paper ashes on the ground.

Everyone followed the traces and came to the grave of Zhu Qiwen and his wife, looking at the stone monument standing in front of the grave, and they were very envious.

The poor can't afford to erect a monument at all, and the living can't afford to eat, so where can they take care of the decency of the dead?

After looking closely, someone saw the sacrifice on the small platform in front of the grave.

But everyone who comes to worship on Chinese New Year's Eve, after the event, they must take the sacrifice away, saying that after eating the sacrifice, they can get the blessing of the ancestors.

But in fact, to put it bluntly, it's just that the poor family is reluctant to take something.
