    ?

    The three of them chatted as they walked. They didn't continue to talk about Chen Xinhua's studies. Most of them talked about what plans they had for next year. They all said that the time of the year is spring, and it will be spring when the new year is over, so they have to make plans for next year.

    The lighting of Jizu is mainly for the direct lineage, and the ancestors of the collateral lineage are also lit, but it is much simpler. Lighting a candle is enough, and the lineage line is more cumbersome. You also need to set off firecrackers and burn Ming coins. Doing these is to hope that your ancestors will be below.  Live well, of course you can do nothing.

    The ancestral tomb mountain is not far from the village, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk there. Chen Xinhua and the others lit candles for several nearby graves, and then came to his wife's grave.  There are two purposes of cleaning up the fallen leaves in front of the grave. The intuitive one is to make the front of the grave cleaner, and the other is to avoid fire caused by burning paper.

    There is no need to use a broom to clean the fallen leaves in front of the grave, just fold the branches with leaves. After Chen Xinhua cleaned up the fallen leaves, my uncle also pulled out a few weeds in front of the grave, and then began to light candles and wrap around money. Firecrackers are  The last one, if you are pious, you may kneel down.

    Chen Xinhua and his uncle lit a candle they brought, and then began to burn paper money. Burning paper money for ancestors is very particular. Before burning, draw a circle in front of the grave. Paper money can only be burned here without paper ashes.  Outside the circle, the purpose of drawing a circle is to allow the ancestors to receive the burnt money, otherwise they will be robbed by lonely ghosts, and they will not be able to receive the burnt paper money. No one knows if this is true or not  , and I can't verify it. Since he said so, Chen Xinhua just followed it.

    After burning the paper money, it was time to set off firecrackers. When the firecrackers were set off, my younger brother Chen Xinhai knelt in front of the grave and prayed for a few times. My uncle said goodbye to bless him with good grades in the college entrance examination, but from his tone of voice, I could hear that he was begging  For peace of mind, it's better to say goodbye than never.

    Chen Xinhua is a reborn person. He does not say that he believes in ghosts and gods, but his rebirth is real. Rebirth is a mysterious thing. It is not surprising that there are ghosts and gods in this world. After Chen Xinhai pays his respects  , Chen Xinhua bowed four times devoutly, and silently prayed in his heart that his ancestors would keep his family safe.

    It took several minutes to complete this set of rituals, and the next step was to light the lamp on grandma's grave and wrap paper money, and soon arrived in front of his father's grave. Chen Xinhua looked at the lonely grave in front of him.  Sadness filled my heart at once, and my eyes turned red involuntarily due to the indescribable sadness in my heart.

    Knowing that people cannot be resurrected after death, Chen Xinhua stood in front of the grave for a few minutes before he started to worship. He broke off a few branches and began to clean the fallen leaves in front of the grave. Chen Xinhai also helped pull up the weeds in front of the grave and cleaned them  After cleaning, he began to light wax and burn the paper money. Knowing that his father was still addicted to cigarettes, Chen Xinhua specially brought two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, opened them and burned them together with the paper money.

    After the paper money was burned out, it was all paper ashes. A gust of mountain wind blew and some of the paper ashes flew with the wind. Chen Xinhua knelt in front of the grave and worshiped very devoutly, telling his father in his heart not to worry, everything in the house was fine  Well, I also hope that he will have a good life down here, but I don't know if he can hear it.

    Chen Xinhua hoped that he could hear it. In the morning, he told Huang Xinhui that he had a wish when he was a child, that he had never watched the complete cartoon "She-Ra".  The scene where he appeared was that he stepped on the door of the house with a small bag on his back, said that he had gone out for a trip and came back, but this wish never came true. Whenever he saw his mother was so tired that her waist could not stand up straight, this wish was particularly strong, and I knew  Can't do it.

    Seeing that the paper money was all burned, Chen Linguang lit the dismantled firecrackers with a lighter. When the long firecrackers were finished, he saw Chen Xinhua was still kneeling in front of the grave, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

    Chen Xinhua sighed in his heart. He didn't know who this sigh was for. He wiped away the tears in his eyes, bowed again, got up and walked down the mountain.

    On the way down the mountain, Chen Xinhua didn't say a word, and when he met a villager who also came to light up Jizu, he nodded and passed.

    After arriving down the mountain, Chen Xinhua calmed down a lot, took out a cigarette and handed it to his uncle, and handed the cigarette case to his brother Chen Xinhai, telling him to take it if he wanted to smoke.

    Chen Xinhai glanced at his father, seeing that he didn't respond, he smiled and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, Chen Xinhua helped him light it, and watched him take a puff of the smoke ring, thinking about this  It is the skill of veterans.

    "I often smoke in school."

    Seeing that his father had walked a certain distance, Chen Xinhai said in a low voice: "I don't smoke often, I buy one or two occasionally when I'm stressed."

    ? Chen Xinhua was a little confused. Cigarettes should not be bought in packs, but in cartons. When did a pack of cigarettes come out?

    "What did you just say, buy one or two cigarettes, and there are stillI bought one by one.  "

    "Brother, you were such a good boy when you were studying. You don't know that cigarettes in high school are bought one by one."

    He really doesn¡¯t know about this, because he never went to high school. He went to a university for adults. After graduating from junior high school, he took a cram school to take the exam directly. Some classmates smoked in college, but they only bought a pack or a pack of cigarettes.  purchase.

    "Haha, there is such a thing, I really don't know how to buy the cigarettes."

    Chen Xinhai thought for a while and said: "For example, ten yuan of Jinsheng smoke is 50 cents on average, and the small shop next to the school is 60 cents. I usually only smoke a pack of Lushan for 3 yuan. This one costs only 2 yuan.  A dime."

    Chen Xinhua glanced at his uncle who was some distance away, put his cigarette in his mouth, reached out and took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a stack of Red Bulls from the wallet, and stuffed it into the hand of his younger brother Chen Xinhai without counting.  Here, it probably looks like a small three thousand.

    "elder brother"

    "You take this money, hide it and don't let your parents know."

    "What do I do with so much money, brother, I can't take it."

    "Just take it if you tell me, you don't know that brother is rich."

    Chen Xinhai smiled and said: "Yes, I heard from my dad that you bought two cars, and they are both good cars worth hundreds of thousands."

    "As long as you know, don't collect the money."

    "Hey, thank you brother."

    "Thank you for what. I know that studying is hard and it hurts. The college entrance examination will be in a few months. This money is not for you to play, but for you to buy some good food and supplement nutrition, so that you can also study energetically."

    "I see, thank you brother."

    Chen Xinhua stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, "I'm still being polite to you."

    At this time, the two had already walked into the village, and the sound of firecrackers was heard from time to time in the village, and some people had already started to eat the reunion dinner.

    "It's the Chinese New Year, and the days go by so fast, Xiao Hai, listen to my brother, use snacks in the last few months, don't let your father down."

    "Hehe, I just hope he doesn't expect too much."

    Chen Xinhua laughed and scolded: "Good boy, don't expect too much, go back, oh, by the way, try to smoke as little as possible, it's not a good thing."

    "I will try my best, brother, goodbye."

    When I got home, the mahjong game was over. When I entered the house, I saw that the posture for the reunion dinner had been set up. The big Eight Immortals table had been placed in the middle of the main room, and even the incense candles on the desk were already lit. Maybe I would wait until I came back.  The food is served.

    Just as Chen Xinhua was about to go to the kitchen, he saw the elder sister Chen Caixiu holding a big clay pot. It didn¡¯t take much guesswork to know that it contained dry-steamed chicken. It¡¯s the local method of Li¡¯s hometown. Steaming with this kind of pottery clay pot is the best.  .

    "Daxin is back."

    "Well, are you all ready?"

    At this time, the second sister also came over with a big clay pot, "Little brother came back after lighting the lamp. Mom asked about you just now."

    "The dishes are all ready."

    "It's ready, I'll wait for you to come back." Huang Xinhui came over with a dish and said.

    While he was talking, the dishes came out of the kitchen like flowing water. Except for the third brother-in-law who was taking Xiao Huihui, everyone was helping in the kitchen, and there was no need to intervene when there were too many people.

    "You serve the food, then I'll get the firecrackers, by the way, Xinhui, don't serve the food, you go to the room to get the wine and drinks."

    "You don't need to order this, my second sister and I will get it right away."

    "Oh, remember to take the red wine."

    "I know." Huang Xinhui smiled and said to her second sister Chen Yingxiu: "Sister, look how annoying this guy is."

    Chen Xinhua suddenly realized that he hadn't seen the old man, so he stopped the third sister, Chen Jingxiu, who was about to go back to the kitchen, and asked, "Sister, is grandpa here? If he doesn't come, I still have to call."

    At this time, the second sister and Xinhui both laughed, and it was self-evident what they were laughing at.

    Chen Jingxiu said: "Come on, sit in the kitchen."

    When Chen Xinhua took apart the firecrackers and put them away, his nephew Xiaoqing ran out and said, "Uncle, grandma said it's time to set off firecrackers."

    "Okay, Xiaoqing, do you want some firecrackers?"

    "I'm afraid, but I dare to set off fireworks, uncle, how about asking me to light the fire when the fireworks are set off at night."

    "You are not afraid that your mother will beat you."

    Hehe ran into the house with a smile, Chen Xinhua also lit the fuse of the firecrackers, left the firecrackers, turned around and ran home, Xiaoqing who was standing at the door was also scared when he saw him, and giggled with laughter.

    "Little guy, you still dare to laugh at uncle, don't you want a red envelope?"

    This time, when he mentioned his sore spot, he stopped laughing immediately.

    "Okay, uncle was joking with you. It's the Chinese New Year." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com)It's gone.
