Uncle Lin took his family of four to visit the grave.
In the past two years, old people have to be cremated after their death.
When grandma passed away, there were not so many regulations. The old man was directly buried and laid to rest.
then.
When Grandma Lin was still alive, the village was allocated fields. After Grandma Lin passed away, she was buried directly in her own cemetery. Lin Wanwan really didn't know the location of the cemetery.
When grandma left in a hurry, it was her sister and neighbors who took care of her affairs. She was confused all day long... Later, Lin Dafu returned to his hometown due to the pressure from his neighbors and took the two sisters home.
Cloud City.
Thinking of the past, Lin Wanwan slowly let out a breath.
She and Xiao Lingye went to the car to pick up the grave items they bought at the market in the morning, while Uncle Lin had a shovel in his hand.
Xiao Lingye saw Uncle Lin limping and silently took the shovel over.
Uncle Lin was stunned and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. Even though I'm old and my legs are weak, I can still pick up a shovel."
Xiao Lingye nodded, but still held the shovel in his hand.
Lin Wanwan looked at him with a smile on her face.
Well……
Xiao Lingye was wearing a snow-white shirt and black trousers...but he was holding a shovel in his hand...if the executives of Xiao International Group saw this scene...words
Lin Wanwan couldn't help laughing.
but!
She didn't forget that Xiao Lingye's ribs hadn't healed yet.
Lin Wanwan walked to him silently, "I'll get it!"
Xiao Lingye raised her eyebrows and lowered her voice, "Do you think I'm 'bad' again?"
"..."
hehe!
Lin Wanwan laughed dryly and retracted her hand silently.
…
Uncle Lin had difficulty with his legs and feet, so he walked very slowly along the way.
Soon we passed through the village and reached the path beside the fields.
in the sun.
Both sides of the dirt road were covered with fresh wheat. The breeze blew and the waves of wheat rolled, bringing with it a unique fragrance of wheat. Lin Wanwan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Dad, is the wheat going to be harvested soon?"
"It's still a month away." Uncle Lin said with a smile, "It's much easier to cut wheat now than it was when you were children. There are special harvesters, and a field can be cut in ten minutes. I just ride a tricycle to pull it from the field.
Just wheat will do."
Lin Wanwan nodded.
Xiao Lingye asked her, "Have you ever cut wheat?"
The tone was very surprising.
Lin Wanwan raised her head and straightened her chest, glared at him and then said proudly, "Why, you are looking down on people. When I was a child, I was very efficient at farm work. During the busy farming season, my sister and I would go to the fields to cut wheat. We would use sickles.
A piece of land can be cut in one day."
Xiao Lingye silently thought about her, "It's really amazing!"
"..."
Why did she think he was petting kittens and puppies?
Lin Wanwan shook her head and shook his hand away, "Don't make trouble!"
ahead.
Uncle Lin originally looked at Xiao Lingye with a cold face and did not seem to be easy to get along with. Unexpectedly, when he got along with Lin Wanwan, his appearance completely changed. If it was a cold winter to him, then Wanwan was like a cold winter to him.
Like warm spring.
Only then did Uncle Lin smile with relief.
"arrive!"
After walking for a few minutes, Uncle Lin stopped by a wheat field and pointed to a small grave in the wheat field, "This is it!"
"..."
Lin Wanwan looked at the little bumpkin and felt extremely sad.
In rural areas.
After the elderly pass away, they are basically buried in the ground.
After the burial, a mound will be built. Because it is an earthen tomb, the soil on the mound will always fall when it rains and other weather conditions. Therefore, the mound will become smaller and smaller, and it will be covered with weeds.
.
At this time, the descendants of the old people will visit the graves and gather the graves during the Qingming Festival and New Year every year.
To gather the grave mound, you need to use shovels and other items to re-pile the soil next to the grave mound and make it larger. This way, many years later, when future generations want to pay homage, they won’t even have to find a mound.
Less than.
And grandma...
After her death, she and her sister returned to Yuncheng.
Over the years, they have never come back, nor have the Lin Dafu brothers. Naturally, no one has taken care of grandma's grave. Therefore, the grave at this time is said to be a grave, but in fact it is only a small mound.
, if Uncle Lin hadn’t said this was grandma’s tomb, she might have thought it was just a raised little bump.
Lin Wanwan felt sour in her heart.
See the situation.
Uncle Lin rubbed his hands, "Wanwan, after your grandma passed away, your aunt and I were planting the land... Every year when wheat was harvested, machines were used. When the machines passed by the graves, they would always
The soil should be leveled... Your aunt and I will get together sometimes, but after all, it's been a long time..."
"Dad, you don't need to tell me, I understand everything!"
More than ten years have passed, and their family has no relatives to take care of them. It is already good to have a grave. And unlike other graves in the field, there is not even a weed on grandma's grave. It is obvious that someone often
Helped me pull it out.
Since Uncle Lin and Auntie Lin are planting this land, they naturally help pull out the grass.
Lin Wanwan walked to the grave and knelt down.
Seeing this, Uncle Lin sighed and said, "You haven't been back for so many years. You must have a lot to say to your grandma. You and your family are here to worship, so I won't disturb you. I'll go to the apple orchard to have a look."
When you finish worshiping later, you can go to the apple orchard to find me. If you are tired, go back first. By the way, do you remember the way back?"
Xiao Lingye nodded, "Remember!"
"That's good, that's good. I'll leave first."
"Dad, please walk slowly."
"okay."
After Uncle Lin left, Lin Wanwan knelt beside the grave and waved to the two children, "Ruirui, sweetheart, come here!"
The two little guys came over obediently.
"Kneel down and kowtow to Grandma!"
The two little guys kowtowed obediently.
Lin Wanwan took out the paper money she had prepared in advance and placed it beside the grave to light it, "Grandma, have you seen that Ruirui and Xingan are Wanwan's children... It has been twelve years, and Wanwan's children have grown so big.
…Grandma, Wanwan hasn’t come back to see you for twelve years, will you blame me?”
"Will not!"
Xiao Lingye knelt down beside her, looked at the grave and said, "Grandma loves you so much. No matter what you do, grandma will never blame you."
Lin Wanwan burned the paper in silence.
Xiao Lingye also added some paper to the fire.
to be honest.
Death is like a lamp going out!
He doesn't believe in the theory of gods and ghosts at all, but...if it can bring comfort to Wanwan's heart, he is willing to believe it once!
Xiao Lingye took Lin Wanwan's hand.
"what?"
Without saying a word, Xiao Lingye took out a small, delicate velvet box from his pocket. He opened the box and took out the pink diamond ring inside. Regardless of Lin Wanwan's reaction, he put it on her ring finger.
