It is not easy to take a taxi today, but fortunately, Jing Ran has made an appointment in advance. This year's Tomb-sweeping Day just caught up with the weekend, and there are endless vehicles going from south to north.Especially on the road to the mountainous area in the eastern suburbs, the more you get to the destination, the more you stop and go. The driver said that they are all going to sweep the grave. In fact, it is a three-day holiday, why are you rushing to today?

However, only today is Tomb-sweeping Day, and Ye Kong is not too happy about the driver's complaints all the way, and his dissatisfaction and disapproval of the grave-sweeping crowd.It's just today, as the living, we should respect the dead more, don't we?

Although Ye Kong didn't say anything, Jing Ran still noticed something. Looking out the window, he was not far from the foot of the mountain. He had been here during the funeral, so he was familiar with the terrain, so he got out of the car early and sent him away. The driver still had some complaints, and the two walked towards the foot of the mountain with not-so-heavy items.

The sky is still covered with rain as thin as a cow's hair, intermittently, making people wonder whether it is worth opening an umbrella. Jing Ran and the others didn't open an umbrella. Ran's.

Jing Ran looked at Ye Kong who was covered by a big coat, as if he was wearing an adult's clothes, and thought maybe it was time to buy some sportswear for the two of them, and it would be good to walk around occasionally.

As a typical northern city, it is rare for City X to be so misty and misty as it is today. The bright yellow winter jasmine flowers on the roadside, which usually look monotonous, now seem a little tender.What's more, the flowers that were knocked down by the rain, which are reminiscent of the human beings, have not much different fate.

Jing Ran felt that he was being hypocritical again, shook his head in displeasure, and hugged the large bouquet in his arms, feeling a little stupid, so he took a bunch of unpacked lilies directly from the flower shop, thinking it would be convenient to hold , Who would have thought that it would be so heavy, the owner of the flower shop is too rude, and I don't know how to remind him.

Ye Kong didn't have as many thoughts and insights as he did, he just thought he should stuff burning paper and incense candles in his clothes?What if it gets wet?Also, what if it is still raining when we get to the place and the fire cannot be lit?

Anyway, although these two think very differently, they both have a lot of brain holes. Although it is rare for outsiders to have two such young and beautiful children in a large army with families, it is pleasing to the eye. In addition, I couldn't help but sigh, such a young child came to visit the grave alone, it can be imagined that it is not a good fate, alas, people, they can't fight for their lives.

Maybe it's because today's day is special, maybe everyone is here to mourn the ancestors, or maybe everyone is too busy thinking about the lost relatives who are chased by life on weekdays and have no time to think about them.Therefore, even though the road up the mountain was full of cars wriggling like snails, and the sidewalks were crowded with pedestrians from afar, none of them were angry or dissatisfied, and walked silently towards their destination.

There are quite a few staff members in dark uniforms at the gate at the foot of the mountain. They don’t look like the staff of a cemetery, but rather like the young elites of a big company. They are full of smiles and apologetic means, Burning paper is not allowed, which caused wave after wave of commotion. This old tradition and new advocacy have been fighting for several years, but there are still many people who cannot accept it. There is only one day in a year, why can’t we accommodate?come all the way

Jing Ran and Ye Kong looked at each other, bypassed the group of people, and went up the mountain. This regulation cannot be said to be ignorant of human feelings. There are places covered by green plants on the northern mountains, most of which are pine trees. If they are not taken care of in time, the ground will be paved. The thick pine needles are extremely flammable, well, you can't burn the living to death in order to pay homage to the dead.

Seeing the patrols at five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, Jing Ran completely stopped thinking about burning paper secretly. It took a long time to work hard.

When Jing Ran found the cemetery in his memory, he unexpectedly saw a man, his father. Although it was unexpected, he didn't have many surprises.He thought that the other party had the same thoughts as him, because Father Jing just looked at him, then lowered his head, touched the lily petals in the vase with his fingers, and then got up and left. When the two passed by, they didn't say a word Words, not even eye contact.

Ye Kong looked at the man's back curiously, straight and slender, maybe Jing Ran will have such a back when he grows up, although he is a little curious about the strange father-son relationship, but he won't ask.For, although every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way, they are all the same to him, but in different forms, by falling apart and resenting each other.

Yes, he has always thought that Jing Ran is unfortunate, just like himself, although he seems to be more miserable, in fact, he feels that Jing Ran is more pitiful, because the most painful pain is the pain that others cannot see , or invisible

Occasionally, Jing Ran would touch the scar on his back from his father's beating, that expression was a mixture of pity and envy, but no sympathy.Ye Kong felt that it was because Jing Ran didn't think that he was luckier than him without scars, but rather unlucky. Without scars, how could he still say that he was injured?How can you say that you are not happy if you don't have food and sleep in the open?In particular, since you get so much materially that is hard for ordinary people to get, isn't it natural for you to be spiritually empty and lonely?don't be too greedy

People will say so, but, as a child, they don't understand the so-called importance of money and material things, or even though they know it is important, but there is always more important than money, parents rarely see it, or they feel uncomfortable when they see it. Sensible and self-willed, as if they have been adults since they were born, forgetting what they longed for or obtained when they were young.

The two of them did not speak, and silently took apart the bouquet and inserted it into the vase brought by Father Jing. The glass vase was large and heavy, perhaps to prevent it from being blown over by the wind. It was filled with a light green liquid, which should be It's like a nutrient solution.

Jing Ran never knew that his father was so careful, but it was a pity that he was so careful and stingy and refused to give to his mother during her lifetime.Well, if his mother's soul is still lingering here, he should be a little happy, at least the man didn't bring a woman with him, but he hoped that she would reincarnate as soon as possible, find a good family, and marry her in the future nice family.

Because paper cannot be burned, the process of worship is a little monotonous. The bouquet Jing Ran bought was still half-finished. It doesn't look like a coquettish flower, but like a jungle with luxuriant branches and leaves, the style of painting is very strange.

Ye Kong also felt that it hurt his eyes, but they didn't have scissors to trim them, and even if they did, trimming bouquets in the cemetery would be weird.There were occasional crying sounds in the ear, some choked up, some cried loudly, but the vast majority of people were still like them, silently doing what they should do, and then silently in a daze.

In Ye Kong’s view, this cemetery is very gorgeous. The white marble carved tombstone covers a large area, and the photo on the tombstone is also very large. It is a 4-inch color photo, which should be a photo from a very young age. She is about the same age, but her hair is combed up and tied behind her head, and her smile is also slightly innocent and sweet.

The more beautiful things, the more God will tear them up for you to see. This is life.

Jing Ran is also looking at this photo, which is not in the album, or the mother has disposed of all of them, so this is the man's collection?I really don't understand the two of them. If there is no relationship, she will not abandon everything and run away with him, and he will not remember the flowers she liked when she was alive.

However, if there is true love, why do these two seem to be enemies from time to time?There is no end until death. If this is the so-called love, it is really terrible, and he would rather not have it in his life.

When they went down the mountain, the sun had already risen to the middle of the mountain, and the intermittent rain had stopped long ago. Both Jing Ran and Jing Ran were a little hungry, so they found a small farm shop nearby that only opened for this festival. It's very monotonous, but even so, there are a lot of people, grave-sweepers who can't wait to go down the mountain, or who are not in the mood to eat and make do with a meal.

They waited for a while before it was their turn. They only ordered a few farm dishes. The taste was average, but the ingredients were still fresh. The two of them were not too picky and they were full.

"Drink more water." Jing Ran directly brought over the thermos. They made a mistake and didn't bring any water. They didn't sell anything along the way. It seems that they will have to toss for a while in the afternoon, so it's better to add some first.

"Well, do you know the place Grandma Qu mentioned?" Ye Kong took a sip of boiled water with a slightly strange smell, Jing Ran said that it might be well water, um, are you used to drinking tap water with bleach?On the contrary, you are not used to what is not added?

"Well, it's nearby, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to take a taxi." Jing Ran also frowned and took a sip of water. This cemetery was originally developed by the crematorium, can it not be close?Speaking of which, the crematorium is a company that really does not worry about the source of customers, and the hospital is no match. You can choose to grit your teeth and refuse to go to the hospital, but you have no choice in the crematorium, do you?

Before arriving at the place, Jing Ran saw the big chimney towering into the sky and emitting black smoke not far away. He had only been here once, and he didn't like it at all. Well, he thought, no one would like it either. here.Although this newly built crematorium has good greening, the worship hall is the same as the conference hall, which still makes people feel uncomfortable. Maybe it is because of the strange smell of burning protein in the air, especially when thinking of these smells The source, it's strange to make people feel comfortable.
