On the lunar calendar, it is the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still three days before the New Year. According to the custom of Su Tianyu’s hometown, they have to visit the graves to worship their ancestors. However, the Su family is a family in exile overseas. The living are gone, and the dead are difficult to move.
The ancestral graves are still in the Chinese area of their hometown, so they can only express their condolences through traditional customs of burning items such as ghost coins at crossroads, ports and other places.
Before Su Tianyu came to Longcheng, every year during the Chinese New Year, he would take advantage of his rest to buy some sacrifices and burn them at the crossroads to pay homage to his parents. This year is the first year that he returns home.
So Su Zhengcai made it more grand and asked the third sister to prepare a lot of things in advance. He wanted Gou Liuzi to go and comfort his parents that he had grown up and became an adult.
In the evening, around seven o'clock.
Dozens of people from the Su family arrived near Haiyan Pit, pulling a truck full of sacrifices, and began to perform sacrifices.
The third sister drew many circles on the ground and placed the sacrifices in batches. Then Su Zhengcai first offered incense and burned paper to his parents, grandparents, and various elders. ?
When the Ming coins were about to burn out, Su Zhengcai took the lead and knelt down, opened his mouth and shouted: "Kowtow!"
For a prosperous family, it is quite shocking to engage in this kind of traditional ceremony. Dozens of people bend down and kneel down, kowtowing towards the distant east. The burning smoke slowly disperses, representing the living people's respect for their deceased relatives.
miss.
After Su Zhengcai finished paying homage to his parents and elders, he stood up and stepped aside, saying to Su Tianyu: "Kowtow to your parents and burn some paper."
Su Tianyu didn't have much sentimental emotions at first, because his parents had passed away several years ago, but today the Su family held such a grand ceremony, which inexplicably touched the soft side of his heart.
Su Tianyu stood next to the circle, lit the Ming coins, and placed white wine and tributes.
As the sea breeze blew, Su Tianyu inexplicably thought of the scene when his father was about to be imprisoned. At that time, he had been tortured by the relevant inspection departments until he lost his appearance. His body was thin and his face was colorless. But even so, Su's father
She still told her son in a very calm tone: "Our generation all lives with baggage, but your generation is different. Son, live well and live well. I will always be proud of you."
After his father was involved in political issues, Su Tianyu's will was depressed for a time. But his mother, who was already ill in bed at that time, still encouraged him to apply for the military academy and let him follow his own life plan and not be influenced by his family.
Impact.
Before her mother died, she did not add any negative emotions to Su Tianyu. She had always been optimistic and strong. The night before she closed her eyes, she was still in the hospital reading course materials with Su Tianyu and chatting with her.
Thinking of this, Su Tianyu felt a little uncomfortable. After burning the paper money, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and murmured softly: "Dad, Mom, I graduated... It's almost the Chinese New Year again, I'll give you some money."
, you don’t have to worry about me down there. I know how I will live my future life.”
The three heads knelt on the ground, and Su Zhengcai patted Gou Liuzi's head dotingly: "Okay, you have become a talent, and they both closed their eyes looking at it."
The memorial service is over.
A car stopped at the intersection, and the Bai brothers opened the door and got out. Bai Hongbo said to Gou Liuzi, Su Tiannan, Su Tianbei and others, "Let's go, let's find a place to get together?"
"Why do you get together every day? Do you have anything serious to do?" Su Zhengcai asked Bai Hongbo.
"Uncle, the meaning of life is not only to live, but also to enjoy the process." Bai Hongbo bared his teeth and replied: "Let's go, how about we go together?"
Su Zhengcai put his hands behind his back and cursed: "Go away, you idiot!"
Bai Hongbo chuckled and shouted to Su Tianyu and others: "Let's go, let's go, it's almost the Chinese New Year, let's go hang out."
Chinese people pay great attention to happiness during the New Year, so Su Tianyu and others did not refuse. After briefly handling the memorial scene, they followed Bai Hongbo and others.
…
In the evening, around nine o'clock.
After everyone had dinner at the hotel, they went to the entertainment city on Zhanan Central Street, where they sang karaoke and had a big party.
In a private room.
Bai Hongbo said to the third sister very directly: "Miao Miao, do you want to play dice?"
"It's just the two of us, what's the point of that?" the third sister replied without interest while eating some fruit.
"It's fun for us. If you win, you can assign me to do something; if I win, you just kiss me." Bai Hongbo said the gameplay with affection.
The third sister glanced at him sideways: "I win, so you can eat shit too, right?"
"As long as you are willing to watch, I won't ask you to eat it with candy." Bai Hongbo replied with a firm look.
"Go away, go eat in front of your baby!" The third sister obviously heard a lot about Bai Hongbo's gossip recently.
"Yeah, are you jealous?"
"I'll eat you up."
Next to him, Su Tianyu sat on the sofa with sweat all over his head after singing a song. He turned around and saw Bai Hongbo's younger brother, Bai Hongtao.
Bai Hongtao is twenty-three years old this year. He looks gentle and fair on the outside. He seldom talks and has a fierce personality. When he fought against Lu Feng at Fumanlou, he was the main force of the Bai family. If he hadn't been there that day,
He, Dabai probably had to cut his big face in half.
"Why don't you sing?" Su Tianyu asked with a smile.
"Oh, I don't like singing." Bai Hongtao replied while playing with his mobile phone: "It would be fine if I could play mahjong or something."
Bai Hongtao and his brother also have different hobbies. One loves women and the other loves gambling, but neither of them has such hobbies to the point of losing their minds.
"Tomorrow, if nothing happens tomorrow, let's set up two tables and play mahjong or something." Su Tianyu said with a smile.
"Okay!" Bai Hongtao put down his mobile phone, sat up straight, and started chatting with Su Tianyu: "Hey, when will our offshore business resume?"
"I don't know, but Mr. Yu has also been making connections these past two days. I heard that he is in contact with code gangs in other districts. I didn't ask for details..." Su Tianyu responded softly.
…
In the anarchy-to-be-planned area outside Longcheng City, more than a dozen men gathered together. This group of men was the same group of old men who had been hired by Yu Mingyuan to rob the goods of the Code Gang.
Everyone gathered in a dilapidated small bungalow, and the leader took the money bag and divided the "salary" among everyone: "The Chinese New Year is almost here, and we all sit back and relax. Those who should go home should go home, and those who should relax should relax. But
You must remember that it is best not to contact each other, and do not tell other people your contact information. In short, keep a low profile. I will let you know when I have another job."
"good!"
After the old men agreed, they took their money and dispersed. Those who had families went home to celebrate the New Year, and those who had no families also took their money and went to have fun.
One day later, an old man found a friend before going home and whispered to him: "I have some goods, can you help me walk? It doesn't matter if the price is lower."
