Perhaps because he was too excited, the next day, Yang Tianlong got up early in the morning, and when he walked out of the door, the sky was just a little bright.

The parents also got up early, because they were going to the grave in the morning, Yang Dalin went to the field early in the morning, ready to turn over the field and plant some vegetables, while Li Guifen cooked a fresh pig's head according to the sacrificial tradition, which was a sacrifice to the grave.

Breathing in the fresh air all the way, he walked along the cement road in the village for a long time, and it was not until seven o'clock in the morning that Yang Tianlong returned.

After breakfast, he took out the offerings, incense wax money paper and basket and put them in the trunk, while Yang Dalin took a sharp wood knife and sickle.

"Dad, what are you doing with this chai knife and sickle?" Yang Tianlong was a little surprised.

"Your grandparents' grave is overgrown with thorn trees, and you can't go in without them. Yang Dalin said.

Yang Tianlong looked puzzled and said, "I remember that there was not land around it before, how could it be so barren?"

Yang Dalin smiled bitterly, "In the past, there was a lot of labor, but now more than ten years older than you are all working outside, and those lands are only planted by us who are old, and now there are more and more old people in the village, and there are fewer and fewer young people, so some of the land in the mountains cannot be planted at all." ”

Seeing that this was the case, Yang Tianlong suddenly realized.

With all the sacrificial supplies, Yang Tianlong got into the cab, and Yang Dalin sat in the co-pilot, and soon, according to his childhood memories, Yang Tianlong drove towards the grave where his grandparents were.

Now the pavement hardening work in the countryside is very good, and all the way to the foot of the mountain, there are cement roads.

Looking at the somewhat tall and majestic mountain in front of him, Yang Tianlong's eyes had already vaguely seen the graves of his grandparents.

When he was in elementary school, his grandparents died, and it was almost 15 or 6 years.

"Let's go, let's go up the mountain. Yang Dalin said as he put the offerings in the trunk into the back box.

"I'll carry it, Dad. Looking at his father's slightly hunched back, Yang Tianlong hurriedly said.

"What are you carrying, you stain your clothes. After speaking, Yang Dalin picked up the basket and got the firewood knife and walked along the country road.

Yang Tianlong followed.

Except for a few patches of cultivated land at the foot of the mountain, almost all of the land on the mountain is deserted and overgrown with weeds, and if it weren't for the fact that the rangers sometimes patrol the mountain, there would be no way here.

After walking for more than half an hour, I finally came to the grave of my grandparents.

"Mom, Dad, I've brought your grandson Tianlong to see you. Yang Dalin said as he lit the candle in his hand.

Listening to his father's words, Yang Tianlong couldn't help but recall the time when his grandparents were alive before, Yang Tianlong remembered clearly, grandpa loved to smoke, but when smoking, his hands would never be idle, his weaving skills were very good, at that time all the farm tools at home were woven by him, and his father Yang Dalin's knitting kung fu was learned from his grandfather;

Thinking of the previous childhood, Yang Tianlong's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Grandparents, I've come to see you. Yang Tianlong also squatted down, picked up the fragrance and lit it on the candle.

After the sacrifice, Yang Tianlong and Yang Dalin did not leave immediately, seeing that the grave grass had grown a lot taller, Yang Dalin took off his clothes and brandished a sickle to cut the grave grass on his parents' grave very low.

Yang Tianlong was not idle, he picked up the firewood knife and cut down the thorn trees near the grave.

After all this, the father and son walked down the mountain step by step.

Along the way, you can also see a few people who go to the grave in the sunny season, but most of them are middle-aged and elderly, and many of them are from the village, and when they saw Yang Dalin, they also greeted each other enthusiastically.

When they learned that the young man next to Yang Dalin was Yang Tianlong, they were all surprised, obviously, their memories of Yang Tianlong were still stuck in their previous youth and even childhood.

"You've grown so tall. ”

"So handsome. ”

......

Yang Tianlong didn't know any of these people, but he still responded politely one by one.

It was almost eleven o'clock when the father and son descended to the bottom of the mountain.

Looking at the road he had just walked, Yang Dalin couldn't help but say: "Tianlong, even if you settle abroad in the future, as long as you return to China, you have to go to the graves of your grandparents to see, I am afraid that in more than ten years, when I and your mother are old, there will be no way to go here." ”

Yang Tianlong glanced at his father, he found that his father's face was full of sighs, although he knew that his father's education level was not high, but he was very decent, although he found a girl from a different country as a wife, but sometimes from the eyebrows of his parents, he could still feel that they hoped that they would not leave Huaxia.

"Dad, I know, don't worry, you can lose anything, but you can't lose your roots. Yang Tianlong looked at Yang Dalin and said with a smile.

Yang Dalin smiled, with a look of relief.

After lunch, Yang Tianlong took his parents and cousin Li Ling straight to the entry-exit reception room of the county public security bureau.

There weren't many people here, so Yang Tianlong and they were the first to handle it.

Take out the ID card to make a photocopy, take a photo, fill out the form, and review the ...... After completing this series of procedures, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.

Since Ethiopia is not a visa on arrival, but needs to apply for a visa, under normal circumstances, you need to go to the consulate or embassy of Ethiopia in China to apply for a visa, but his wife Elena told Yang Tianlong that the visa to Ethiopia can be completed online, and the application can be approved on the same day at most the next day, which is very fast.

However, at present, the visa cannot be processed, because you have to wait until the passport is processed before you can apply for it, and the passport takes about a week, so after the passport is processed at the county public security bureau, Yang Tianlong and the others drove straight home.

Li Ling did not go home immediately, but followed Yang Tianlong and them back to her aunt's house.

"Cousin, do you think I should buy some sunscreen?"

"Cousin, is the network good over there?"

"Cousin, Ethiopian women are so beautiful, are men also handsome?"

......

Her series of questions made Yang Tianlong a little overwhelmed, and after patiently and meticulously answering Li Ling, Li Ling was satisfied.

After dinner and sending Li Ling home, on the way home, Yang Tianlong called Lin Dayou.
