early April.
As the temperature rises day by day, the annoying catkins begin to fly gradually. When a gust of wind blows, the white down on the ground can still roll up small eddies.
Before I knew it, a year had passed.
On the fifteenth day after the vernal equinox, between mid-spring and late spring, is Ching Ming.
days off.
"Are you really not going?"
"You go, I'll sleep a little longer."
He Wu hugged the quilt and turned his back to Qin Guanglin who was at the door, and waved without looking back.
"Okay, remember to have a good lunch at noon, I may come back late... have dinner at my house."
Qin Guanglin gave an order, seeing that she closed her eyes and didn't move, she shrugged and went out, "Okay, I'm leaving."
In some places, there is a rule that women cannot sweep graves, but his family doesn't care much about this. Qin Guanglin wanted to take He Wei to have a look, but she refused.
"Why not? Why don't you take her to show your dad?"
After driving to the door of the house, Qin's mother, who was dressed neatly, was picked up in the car. After she sat down, she also asked this question.
"I'll go when I get married. There's nothing there right now. Don't worry." Qin Guanglin didn't say why he didn't want to go, and drove straight to the cemetery perfunctorily.
After so many years, grave-sweeping is more a habit than mourning. The expressions of the two of them were not heavy, and the atmosphere in the car was not depressing. Qin Guanglin chatted with Qin's mother from time to time, and they came all the way to Beishan Cemetery.
"Do you want to buy a bunch of flowers?" Qin Guanglin parked the car and watched the people coming and going in the flower shop next to him, and asked casually.
"That's enough for him to eat. What kind of flowers do you want?"
Qin Ma picked up the fruit snacks on her handle and some food she had packed, "Let's go, there are quite a lot of people."
The distance was not too short. At this time, the sun had already risen, and there were many people leaving and entering the park.
Qin Guanglin responded without saying anything more, carrying paper money, joss sticks, and a small bottle of white wine, followed Qin Ma into the cemetery, turned left and right along the stone road, passed by tombstones, and finally stopped at the approaching graveyard. A corner of the corner.
This is the most primitive type of mausoleum. Not only is the location remote, but the space in front of the tomb is also very small. Fortunately, there are only the two of them. Otherwise, there are three or five relatives and friends who would not be able to stand in front of the tomb.
The small tomb has the advantage of being small, but after a while, Qin Guanglin had already cleaned up the surroundings. Qin's mother squatted down and opened the bags one by one, and placed them neatly in front of the tomb, muttering something in a low voice.
Looking at the photos on the tombstone, Qin Guanglin didn't show much sadness, but only deep nostalgia.
"Talk to your dad to make him happy." Mother Qin fiddled with the burning paper money a few times, causing the flames to jump up a few times, and then stepped aside after burning more thoroughly, giving Qin Guanglin the seat .
Qin Guanglin stepped forward and squatted next to the brazier to take Qin's mother's place, grabbed two handfuls of paper money and threw them in, and the fire suddenly became more intense.
"Dad, I made money this year, I'll burn more for you, and your favorite Bai Niu Er, it's not good to drink too much, my mother made you a small bottle."
"I found a job this year, and it's not bad. I worked hard for almost a year, and a lot of things happened in the middle, and I got a preparatory director... You probably don't know what a director is. Anyway, I'm an official, in charge of people, anyway. It’s pretty good, with a lot of money and benefits, and a lot of benefits. I’ve already got four rings, full payment, hehe…”
"...By the way, did my mother tell you just now? I also found a girlfriend and I am planning to get married... Well, I prepared it myself. She has no idea yet. I don't know why she always wants to talk about it for two years. You have to bless us both, let us get married early, give you a big fat grandson or granddaughter, and the incense of our old Qin family will continue."
"It's not me bragging, you are a good daughter-in-law, you can go to the hall and go to the kitchen, and the fried vegetables are delicious, better than my mother's cooking... Anyway, you can't eat it. In this way, we will get married in two years." Yes, let her stir-fry two dishes, and I will bring you some wine, but I don’t know if you can accept it...
She is a teacher, an elementary school teacher, isn't she very nice? What's more, she is still a writer, a great writer, and has published two books... Oh, I forgot to bring you here to show you. Next time, I will bring you a whole set to show you next time. Let me find What a wonderful girlfriend. "
Qin Guanglin pulled the brazier and whispered to the photo on the stele.
Although the person is no longer there, the family relationship will not be washed away by time. No matter whether there is another world or not, I always hope that my father knows that everything is well.
Seeing that Qin's mother was not nearby, he moved forward to get closer, grabbed some paper money into the brazier and threw it in, "Sometimes she is a little inexplicable, as if she is hiding something from me, because we didn't know about it a while ago. After we had a fight, she used aliens... no, it was some weird prediction as an excuse. I was so angry that I slapped the table to scare her. She cried and asked me if my hands hurt... Seeing her cry I didn't have the heart to quarrel anymore, thinking about it, even if such a girl is hiding something, she will definitely not harm me, right
... She also donated 80,000 yuan, and all the manuscript fees for writing the book were donated. It's a great profit for me to meet such a kind-hearted girl, hehe... I don't want to say it now, but I will definitely tell me when it is time to tell me in the future, right? Talent is the most important thing... The key is that when she cries, I panic and there is nothing I can do. I want to be with her, I want to marry her, quarreling is definitely not okay, everyone should know how to give in, right? Do you think what I said makes sense? … Hey, with all that said, when we get married and bring her here to show you, you'll know how good she is, super nice kind of… "
Qin Guanglin felt a lot more relaxed when he said all the things that were suffocated in his heart on weekdays. He didn't stop talking until all the paper money was thrown into the brazier and burned to ashes, and the fire gradually subsided.
"Dad, if you don't have enough money, you can entrust it to me in a dream, and I will come over and burn a few bundles for you... Just now on the way, I saw other people's houses burning mobile phones and burning paper figurines. The little girl will not burn them for you. I will give them to you when I come over next time." You take a house and car and burn it over.
I'm leaving first, and you can entrust me with your dream if you want anything. I don't know if you have a signal on your mobile phone, so I will bring it with you next time, the kind with a charger. "
Patted himself up and stood up, while waiting for the fire in the brazier to go out, Qin Guanglin muttered a few more words, turned and left.
"Do you want to change my dad to a better place?"
"I'm used to living here, so why change? There's no comfortable place to live anywhere."
Qin Ma and Qin Guanglin walked out of the cemetery along the stone road. It was almost noon, and they got into the car and drove for a while. Qin Ma suddenly sighed and felt a little emotional.
"If your father was still here, it would be nice to see you grow up so much."
"Who said it wasn't?"
Qin Guanglin responded with a word, sighing slightly in his heart.
The world is impermanent, how can there be so many ifs.
