Jiang Xiaobai listened and said, "Uncle, father, third uncle, you go to play cards, let's go to send Liang." ”

Jiang Haitian waved his hand: "If you want to go, the three of us will also go, and in addition, the little ones who want to go will also bring it." ”

Jiang Haiyang nodded: "You can play cards at any time, and you can send Liang once a year." ”

"Send Liang first!"

Jiang Haibo said: "In this case, let's go home and get our things, and go to Dad's grave to meet first." ”

"Good!"

"Hmm!"

Jiang Haitian and Jiang Haiyang both nodded in agreement, and then Jiang Haitian and Jiang Haibo went home together to get the offerings, and Jiang Xiaoji and Jiang Xiaozhou also left.

Jiang Haiyang also went into the house to get the offerings.

Usually the offerings include candles, incense, paper money, firecrackers, and some salutes in later generations.

Not long after, Jiang Haiyang came out with a shoulder basket, full of candles, incense and paper money, and said to Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Xiaofeng: "Second and third, you go get firecrackers." ”

"Okay!"

Jiang Xiaofeng agreed.

After turning around, he asked, "Or take eight of them?" ”

Jiang Haiyang nodded.

Take eight firecrackers, which means that you want to give light to the eight ancestors.

"Grandpa, I'll send Liang too!"

Jiang Shan ran over and said.

Jiang Haiyang nodded: "Okay, Shanshan wants to go, then follow." ”

"I'll go too!"

"I'm going too."

Jiang Ting and Jiang Xiaoyu also came over and said.

Jiang Xiaolei pursed his lips and remained silent.

Jiang Haiyang glanced at him and shouted, "Xiaolei, you also go and help your eldest brother and second brother get firecrackers." ”

Jiang Xiaolei said: "Just have the eldest brother and the second brother to take it, I won't send Liang." ”

He wanted to climb the mountain, and in some places there was no road, so he didn't want to go.

Jiang Haiyang said angrily: "Even Shanshan and Tingting know to go along, why don't you go?" ”

"That's for your grandparents!"

Jiang Xiaolei was not convinced, didn't he just send a light? It's enough to go to one person, but you have to bring the whole family, is it necessary?

However, he didn't dare to talk to his father.

had to follow Jiang Xiaofeng into the house to move firecrackers.

Jiang Haiyang shouted: "You all move 10,000 words!" ”

"Got it!"

Jiang Xiaolei replied impatiently.

This year, there are no dozens of firecrackers at home, nor a hundred, except for some thousand-digits, the most is 10,000-digit.

But a firecracker with a 10,000-character prefix weighs ten pounds.

Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Xiaofeng each moved three, and Jiang Xiaolei moved two.

Twenty catties in your hand, and you have to walk so far, it is not an easy task.

Jiang Xiaolei was even more unhappy in his heart, and muttered softly: "Sun Buxiaozu, why do you insist on calling me when you send Liang?" ”

"What did you say?" Jiang Haiyang didn't hear Jiang Xiaolei's words clearly and asked.

"I said that I would put 10,000 words on the ancestors and ancestors this year, but I am afraid that they will all blow up!" Where did Jiang Xiaolei dare to tell the truth, and said casually.

"Stinky boy, respect your ancestors!" Jiang Haiyang glared at him, "You will kowtow to your grandparents later, and let them bless you to be admitted to a good university." ”

Jiang Xiaolei said in his heart that if his ancestors blessed him and he could be admitted to a good university, then why should he study?

glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, well, it was the eldest brother who said that he would send a car after being admitted to college.

"You know, I'll kowtow later!"

Jiang Xiaolei said inconsistently.

The ancestral graves of the Jiang family are all on the mountain behind the old house, or on the edge of the field, Jiang Haiyang takes the lead, and the group walks towards the old house.

Along the way, I heard the sound of firecrackers in the bay, fields, and mountains from time to time.

That's because someone is already giving light to the ancestors.

I also met a lot of people, all of them carrying baskets full of incense, candles, paper money, and were going to deliver light.

"Uncle Haiyang, you guys are going to send Liang too!"

"Xiaobai, you all use 10,000 words to send brightness!"

"Shanshan, Tingting, you guys also go to send Liang!"

"Xiaolei, you have a lot of strength to move two thousand characters to go so far!"

“……”

Along the way, when you meet people who go to see Liang, they will say hello to each other.

When he walked near Jiang Haichuan's house, he was also going out to send the light, and after seeing Jiang Haiyang and the others, he said: "Haiyang, you go to the second uncle and they will send the light, you go first, I will send the light to my parents, and I will also go to the second uncle and second aunt." ”

Jiang Haiyang nodded: "Well, I'll go to the uncle in a while." ”

Jiang Haiyang and Jiang Haichuan share a grandfather, Jiang Haiyang's father Jiang Xiaoyun is the second oldest in the family, so Jiang Haichuan calls him the second uncle.

In the countryside, the deceased parents must send it, followed by the grandparents.

If conditions allow, the parents' brother will also send a light. The three Jiang Haiyang brothers will also send light to their uncle and aunt every year.

Jiang Xiaoyun's grave is on the slope of Daqing Mountain, and after walking along the usual path of going up the mountain to cut firewood, he has to walk towards the woods next to him.

Since it only comes once a year, there is almost no way to get to the cemetery.

However, Jiang Xiaoji and Jiang Xiaozhou came first, and they cut a "road" with a sickle, and Jiang Haiyang and the others walked a lot easier.

When I arrived at the cemetery, I saw a low earth grave surrounded by stones, the grave soil was overgrown with wild grass, and there was no tombstone in front of the grave.

If you are not a local, it is almost impossible to confirm that this is a grave.

At this time, Jiang Haitian and Jiang Haibo had already lit candles and incense in front of the grave and were burning paper money.

Jiang Haiyang saw it and joined in.

After he lit the candles and incense, he burned the paper money and said, "Boss, second, Dad's grave is about to collapse." ”

Jiang Haitian said: "I was talking to the third child about this just now. ”

Jiang Haiyang asked, "What do you say?" ”

Jiang Haitian said: "There were no conditions before, and when my father died, there was no coffin, only half a straw mat wrapped in it." ”

Pointing to the stones surrounding the tomb, he said, "You see, the stones around the grave are also picked up on the mountain, as if they were piled up at random. ”

As he spoke, the corners of the old man's eyes moistened slightly.

Jiang Haibo choked up and said, "Mom, Dad, their generation is too bitter!" ”

Jiang Haitian smiled bitterly: "Our generation is not the same. ”

glanced back at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "If it weren't for Xiaobai, we would still be living a hard life now." ”

Jiang Haiyang said: "Brother, don't say that, even without him, our life is much better now than when my parents and them were." ”

Jiang Haitian nodded and said, "Don't talk about this, what I mean is to wait for the Qingming Festival to rebuild my parents' graves, and then set up a monument for them." ”

Jiang Haiyang said: "I agree!" ”

Jiang Haibo also said: "I also agree, the money for my parents to repair the grave and erect the monument will be paid by our three brothers together." ”

Jiang Haitian and Jiang Haiyang have no opinion.

After all, building a monument to their parents' graves is something common to the three brothers.

After burning the paper money, the three brothers all kowtowed in front of Jiang Xiaoyun's grave, and then got up and stood silently.

"Xiaoji, Xiaozhou, it's your turn!"

Jiang Xiaoji and Jiang Xiaozhou immediately went to the grave and kowtowed.

After that, Jiang Xiaobai, Jiang Xiaofeng, Jiang Xiaolei and others, and then Jiang Xiong, Jiang Shan and other juniors, all kowtowed in front of the grave one by one.

After everyone kowtowed, Jiang Haitian took the lead, the adults started to clear the weeds in front of the grave, and Jiang Xiaofeng went to light the firecrackers.

"Bang Bang ......"

The sound of firecrackers exploded, the green smoke was filled, and the candlelight in front of the grave shone on the surface of the grave, as if to illuminate the future of future generations.
