When she arrived at Sister Ruzhen's house, she still observed carefully before knocking on the door, and it was still Mother Qiao who came to open the door. When she saw Ruzhen and Rufeng returning home so quickly, she was naturally surprised and happy.

"You're back so soon? Come in quickly. This kid is Xun Ye, right? He's quite tall and pretty. He's almost grown into a man, isn't he? Come in quickly and let Mother Qiao take a good look at her.

look."

Xun Ye was still a little embarrassed. He looked at Sister Ru Zhen and Ru Feng coyly, then lowered his head and walked into the house under the hand of Qiao's mother, looking a little shy.

"Come, mommy will give you some water. Sit down quickly. Isn't this child Xunye a bit unfamiliar? Why is he so unwilling to speak like a big girl? Raise your head and let Mother Qiao take a good look at you.

man.

He is such a good boy, and he looks manly, which is great! What do you want to eat? Mother Qiao asked the backyard restaurant to cook it for you. Now that you are back, the whole family doesn’t know how to be happy."

"Mom, please stop working. We want to visit dad's grave when we come back this time, and we have bought the sacrifices. We will stay at home tonight, and we will go to dad's grave tomorrow morning, and then we have to leave home."

"Since you want to go, mom won't stop you. Let your brother hire a car to take you there tomorrow. The road is too far, so we can't do it without taking a car. I can tell when I see how big and small you are.

I have to go to the grave.

But we have to eat tonight, so let your brother prepare it first. I think Xunye should be asked to inform your brother about this task. Mother Qiao thinks Xunye can definitely do it. By the way, you can also see what the restaurant is like.

.

Xunye, when you go out from the gate, the restaurant directly opposite is owned by our family, and its name is "Laodaokou Restaurant". Where are your brother Tianzhu and sister-in-law Tianzhu? You go find them.

Just say that you are back and ask him to prepare dinner and bring it back to eat. Tell your brother Tianzhu what you want to eat and he will arrange it for you. Go now."

"Thank you, Mom Qiao! Don't worry, I promise to complete the task."

Xunye stood up and walked out happily. He knew that this was Qiao's mother testing her ability to do things, but Xunye could complete this little thing. After Xunye left, Qiao's mother continued to follow

Ruzhen, Rufeng speak.

"Can I stay for two more days this time? Last time you came back, you kept Suozhu and the other children away. If you can't stay for a few more days, don't tell them when you leave."

"Mom, we can't stay longer when we come back this time. We still have a lot of things to do. After paying homage to my father's grave, we will go back directly. Please forgive me!"

"I don't care, but it's a bit unbearable to lock up these children. But it's okay. Go out for a run and have fun and forget about it. You can just go with peace of mind. Haven't you been here after all these years?

Even when I went to visit your father's grave, Tieshi's grave was also with his, and they all paid homage. Did you buy double sacrifices? If it's not enough, let's go buy some more while it's still open.

Just burn more at once."

"The sacrifices have been prepared enough. I thought of Brother Tieshi and guessed that they would be buried together. It would not be good if the memorial ceremony lasted for too long. We must always be prepared for accidents."

Just as the three mothers were talking, Xunye came back, and Brother Tianzhu and Sister-in-law Tianzhu also came back together. Sister-in-law Tianzhu pushed the door open first and entered the house. She stepped forward and took the hands of Ruzhen and Rufeng.

The greetings had already arrived first.

It was another intimate chat and laugh. Tianzhu's sister-in-law, Ru Zhen, and Ru Feng seemed to have endless chatter, so Qiao Tianzhu couldn't get a word in. In the end, Qiao's mother sent her away to order a car, saying that she would use it early tomorrow morning.

.

After the children came back and saw Ruzhen and Rufeng coming back, they were even more happy, especially when they locked their hands and held on to their mother's hand, their voices were full of sadness.

It was even more lively during the meal, with children chirping and adults laughing, but everyone drank a little symbolically. In fact, the joy on the surface could not cover up the sadness in their hearts.

Get up early the next day, after dinner, the children heard that they were going to the cemetery, and they all rushed to go, but they were persuaded by the adults. Only Brother Tianzhu accompanied him, and they got on the hired carriage.

Set off.

The location of the cemetery was indeed quite far away, and the carriage traveled for almost an hour before arriving at a barren hill outside the city. Qiao Tianzhu asked the carriage to stop on the side of the road and wait. He took Ru Zhen, Ru Feng and Xun Ye down the road.

"Normally, few people come to this place, and there are not many graves buried here, but Mr. Yin Yang said that the feng shui is not bad. Dad was buried here first, and then he found an opportunity to move Tie Shi's grave.

They had bad tempers before they were alive, so it's a blessing to be buried together. You three can just come and pay homage, but don't cry or scream. Neither dad nor Tie Shi likes this.

They have all been laid to rest. The feng shui of this place is also good. They are many times better than the brothers who fight the Japanese with you. Don't be too sad and save your strength to fight the little Japanese. This is the best time for Dad and Tieshi.

Hope to see it.”

The tomb of the Northern God Beggar Qiao Daxia is not prominent. There is not even a tombstone. It is just an inconspicuous mound lying in the grass. Only the traces of paying homage in front of the grave show that someone has been here.

The four of them knelt down and began to pay homage according to folk customs. They couldn't hold back the tears, especially Xun Ye, who had already burst into tears and couldn't kneel down for a long time, and his cry was so miserable.

Everyone said what they wanted to say, and the sad and choking voices lingered on Dad's grave along with the cigarettes burned with paper money. When the elegiac couplets from the superiors were burned out, the memorial ceremony was over.

Everyone solemnly and deeply kowtowed three times, then stood up and went to pay homage to Zhu Tieshi's grave again. This time everyone seemed to talk more, especially Sister Ruzhen, who was the saddest and even cried faintly.

passed.

But no matter how grief-stricken they were, the four people still did not lose their minds, and even their crying was kept to a minimum. After completing the memorial ceremony and cleaning the area around the tomb, the four people left resolutely.

After walking out of the cemetery, the four people got into the carriage again. None of them spoke much, and they were still immersed in great grief, which could not be relieved for a while.

It was not until they entered Harbin that the mood of the four people eased. The carriage stopped at a relatively prosperous road section, and all four people got out of the car, because Ru Zhen, Ru Feng and Xun Ye were going to meet Brother Tianzhu here.
