After resting for a while, Su Yang carried grandma on his back and walked up the mountain.
The mountain is not high or steep, but there are quite a lot of trees. It looks very green from the bottom of the mountain.
Walking up the mountain path, Gu Chenglan stood by Grandma Su's side and helped Su Yang push aside the branches sticking out in front of her.
Su Nuo, on the other hand, supported her mother Fang Yalan and told her to pay attention to her steps from time to time.
As they walked, Fang Yalan and Suno fell behind.
When Su Nuo found out, her mother held her hand and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Nuo, are you and your brother hiding something from me? Is it because... your grandma?"
Suno was stunned, looked up at his brother who was walking away in front of him, and finally nodded.
"Why didn't you tell your mother about such a big thing?" Fang Yalan's eyes were filled with tears. She held Suno's hand and said softly: "You two children think you can take care of this family? Or do you already think that your mother can't bear it? Do you want to be the first to do anything?"
"Mom, no." Sunuo also had tears in his eyes: "My brother and I just don't want you to be too sad. And grandma is so smart and sensitive, and we are afraid that the more people who know about it, the more suspicious she will be. How long can we keep it secret like this? How long does it take?"
"Do you think grandma won't know?" Fang Yalan sighed: "If grandma doesn't understand, how could she suddenly come to visit grandpa's grave?"
Suno choked up and lowered his head without speaking.
Fang Yalan hugged her daughter, stroked her braids a few times, and said, "Okay, let's go. Mom understands how you brothers and sisters feel, and you are also the saddest one. But you are children after all, and mom will help You share everything. And our family has gone through so many ups and downs, haven't we survived it?"
"Mom..." Su Nuo nodded with tears in his eyes, and finally showed a smile.
The mother and daughter quickened their pace to catch up with Su Yang and the others, and soon found their grandfather's grave.
The older generation pays attention to Feng Shui. Grandpa’s grave is in a good location and the surrounding area is also very clean.
Su Yang put grandma down, and Gu Chenglan took out the blanket he had prepared and spread it on the ground. He helped grandma and sat in front of his grandfather's tombstone.
Grandma did not ask for burning paper money or placing offerings. She just asked Fang Yalan to take out a bottle of good wine and two boxes of good cigarettes and place them in front of the grave.
Grandma didn't say anything. She just stared at the tombstone silently, with a clear light in her eyes.
Everyone knew that grandma was probably communicating silently with grandpa, so no one bothered them. They just stood aside quietly, full of respect and deep remembrance.
Gu Chenglan also tidied up the surrounding weeds, moved away a few obstructive stones, and leveled the surrounding area again.
After Gu Chenglan finished all this, grandma just happened to call Su Nuo and Su Yang over to talk to grandpa.
Fang Yalan took out the white towel she had prepared and wiped her grandfather's tombstone carefully.
After all this was done, grandma turned to look at Gu Chenglan, who was sweating from the busy work, smiled and waved: "Classmate Gu, come over and say a few words to my old man. The old man likes smart younger generations, but it's a pity that he is not lucky. , I didn’t even get a chance to hug my grandson.”
Gu Chenglan agreed, walked over and bowed respectfully three times. Then he said seriously: "Hello, grandpa, my name is Gu Chenglan, I am Su Yang's classmate, and I am also..."
Having said this, Gu Chenglan paused and turned to look at Su's mother and Su Yang.
