I will never forget that image for the rest of my life.

Grandma threw herself on the body of the grandmother and called her mother loudly, her mouth was wide open, and many words seemed to be stuck in her throat, except for the mother, she didn't seem to be able to shout anything.

That was the first time I heard my grandmother call my grandmother's mother, but unfortunately, my grandmother didn't respond to her.

I always thought that the relationship between grandma and grandma was very bad, they always liked to quarrel, grandma would call grandma aunt when she was in a good mood, and she would also call grandma and grandma when she was angry, in my short nine years of life, I really couldn't understand the relationship between grandma and grandma.

The second uncle said that grandma actually has a deep relationship with grandma, grandma experienced war when she was young, and finally it was peaceful, and she was criticized and paraded with grandma, and they supported each other through many difficult years together, this kind of feeling is difficult for us to understand.

Of course I couldn't understand it, and that day, I was like a complete idiot.

The sixth son cried, the second uncle cried, and Na Mingyue also cried, the funeral I had seen at Han Lin's house was staged again, but this time, it became the protagonist.

I was bumped around by a lot of people who entered the hospital, they said let me kneel, I went to kneel, they said let me kowtow, I kowtowed, I followed the big slip away in a daze, and heard someone whispering in the back, "Is this Xue family's Bao Si stupid to the bone, she doesn't know how to cry when her grandmother dies." ”

"But no, every time I went to the town to catch the market, the old lady of the Xue family asked me to bring a string of sugar gourds, saying that her family loves to eat, and the one who opens her mouth and closes her mouth is her family's four treasures, but you see, this child doesn't even have a tear petal now, tsk, tsk, lose conscience."

I listened to these words sullenly, and I touched my dry face and cried, why should I cry, my grandmother is happy, happy, isn't it a good thing.

The eldest brother came to paint again, I sat on the small stool and watched him draw in a daze, and the eldest brother painted for a while and looked at me, "Sibao, don't say that this time it's scaring people." ”

I looked back at my eldest brother and smiled, "It's silent, I'm sleeping too soundly." ”

The eldest brother looked at me and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and just sighed and continued to draw, and after the painting, the eldest brother touched the coffin and shed tears, "Grandma is a very warm-hearted old lady, but unfortunately I will never see her again." ”

I tugged at the corners of my mouth and looked at my eldest brother and continued to smile, "No, grandma will play with me when she wakes up." ”

The eldest brother took a deep breath and looked at me, "Sibao, you will know how helpless it is to separate yin and yang in the future." ”

I looked at my eldest brother as if I didn't understand, "What do you mean by helplessness." ”

The eldest brother doesn't say much, according to the generation, he is considered a great-grandson, so he wants to keep vigil for the grandmother with the eldest uncle and the second uncle, and when the grandmother came into the house with swollen eyes and asked me to sleep, I couldn't sleep, I felt that the kang was empty, and I glanced at the villain book, "Grandma, can't the grandmother not go to enjoy the blessings first, no one will tell me the story of Zhang Wazi." ”

After listening to my words, Grandma turned her face sideways and wiped her tears, "I'll tell you about Zhang Wazi in the future, sleep!" ”

There are a lot of people in the family, noisy, I went around the courtyard until the second half of the night when I couldn't stand it and fell asleep on the kang, and when I got up in the morning, I deliberately ran to the coffin of the grandmother to see, I hope that the grandmother can be like Han Lin's grandmother, I don't want to sleep, I want to get up, but there is still no movement, the grandmother is very quiet, really quiet.

On the third day, the courtyard was very lively, the eldest brother said that the grandmother was going to be a funeral, what did I say about the funeral, the eldest brother said that it was to send the grandmother up the mountain, and the mountain would be the grandmother's home in the future.

I want to ask my grandmother why she sent her grandmother up the mountain, once she woke up and came back on the mountain, it was not convenient, but my grandmother didn't have time to take care of me at all, she was busy hosting, let us kneel down to the coffin, and finally set off firecrackers and tied the coffin with ropes, I felt that the coffin of the grandmother was very large, and it took 16 young men to lift it.

The people in the village whispered, Aunt Xue was nameless and scoreless when she was alive, and it was really big to leave this pomp.

Along the way, my grandmother was throwing round copper paper money, my uncle walked in front with a white flag, and the second uncle walked in front of the coffin with a spiritual position, and I wore a white hat and a sackcloth and followed the coffin with my eldest brother, who took my hand and shed tears all the way.

When I walked to the foot of the mountain, the coffin and mourning music suddenly stopped, and I was blocked and couldn't see what was going on in front of me, but I could only hear a male voice coming, "Feng Nian!" What do you mean, the ancestral tomb is something that outsiders can enter casually!! ”

I looked up at my eldest brother, "Who's talking?" ”

The eldest brother sniffed, he was tall, and he could see the situation a little more clearly on tiptoe, "It's our relatives in the county who came over, and they don't let the grandmother enter the ancestral grave." ”

I didn't even know what the ancestral grave was, I only heard my grandmother reply loudly, "I have the final say about the Xue family, I say who is the Xue family is the Xue family!" ”

"Feng Nian! You're confused! Your aunt is just a filler! How can a woman who doesn't even have a name enter the ancestral grave! It's going to break the feng shui!! ”

"It's not my aunt in the coffin, it's my mother! She has worked hard for the Xue family all her life, why can't she enter the ancestral grave! Get out of the way! Now the Xue family is my master!! ”

"No! Even if the Xue family is in decline now, we will not allow an outsider to enter the ancestral grave!! ”

The situation suddenly became deadlocked, and I glanced at my eldest brother, "If you don't enter the ancestral grave, take your grandmother home." ”

The eldest brother's expression was a little nervous, "Don't talk about the four treasures, entering the ancestral grave is the thought of the grandmother's life, and my father said that this is the grandmother's last wish." ”

I opened my mouth and just wanted to speak, but I felt that the wind was blowing, and the originally fine weather was overcast in an instant, and my grandmother roared in front of the coffin, "Today I just want to let my aunt enter the ancestral grave!" I'll tell you! If anyone dares to miss my auspicious time, don't blame me Xue Fengnian for letting him die here! Mountain!!! ”

Mourning paused, the crowd pushed forward and continued to walk towards the mountain, two or three elderly men were pushed to the side of the road, their eyes were full of anger, I glanced sideways, I had never seen them at all, and for the first time I knew that my family had other relatives in the county.

Halfway up the mountain, it was already clear again, and I looked back to see that there were two men in overalls carrying small coffins all the way behind.

"Who are they?"

The eldest brother glanced at my eyes, "The crematorium, if you don't let the burial now, you have to go through a procedure." ”

Crematorium?

I still followed my eldest brother in a daze, and walked to a pit dug in advance, there were many people, and I didn't see anything special around except for the grave, grandma commanded to put the coffin aside first, I looked at the pit and my heart was inexplicably tight, will my grandma live here in the future.

Grandma knelt next to the pit, lit up three pieces of burning paper and threw them into the pit, I don't understand, but the eldest brother understands, he said that grandma's scientific name is warm hole, and in local language, it is warm kang, this is grandma's home in the future, if you want to make grandma live hot, not cold, you must first give warmth.

When Grandma finished a series of procedures that I couldn't understand, she closed her eyes, as if she was waiting for something, and she was not in a hurry, no one spoke, everyone seemed to be waiting for Grandma to give orders.

A gust of wind blew, and the back of my neck suddenly itched, and when I scratched my face, I found a familiar face flashing in the crowd, "Uncle?" ”

"Who?" The eldest brother standing next to me looked directly at me, "Your uncle?" ”

I hummed, my eyes still searching the crowd, "My uncle seems to be here." “

The eldest brother shook his head, "Impossible, isn't your uncle my grandfather, he is a hermit and does not go down the mountain." ”

But I felt that he was there, and just as I was about to open my mouth, I heard my grandmother shouting, "The auspicious time has come, bury!" ”

Finally, the syllables of the word were pulled very long, and the big coffin was lifted by the young men again, grandma got up, and when the coffin was put in the pit, grandma picked up a shovel and shoveled a shovel of loess and covered it on the coffin lid to let it go, and the next spade was put on the uncle, and then the second uncle went on again......

I couldn't help but tighten in my heart, "Big brother, are they burying my grandmother?" ”

The eldest brother pulled my hand tightly and didn't speak, fortunately, just when my teeth began to chatter, their movements stopped, only three shovels of soil, grandma knelt down next to the pit, and read softly, "Auntie, you can rest in peace, in fact, you don't have to ask for credit from me, I owe you, don't worry, as long as I live, I will let you reunite with my parents below." ”

After speaking, Grandma wiped her tears and got up, "The living people avoid!! ”
