small town enyuan

The Martyrs Cemetery on New Year's Eve is locked.

"Is anyone there?" Cheng Zhien called inside.After shouting, I feel even more stupid.In the martyr's cemetery on New Year's Eve, if someone inside answered someone, it would be really fucking scary.

He looked around, the martyrs cemetery was green with pines and cypresses, and there was a gloomy greenness in the gloomy winter.There was no other way, and he yelled inside again, "Is anyone there?"

A man on a motorcycle passed by on the road, slowed down, turned his head to look, "what are you doing?" nobody.

Cheng Zhien quickly ran after the motorcycle, "Brother, brother, my brother and I are here to visit his father's grave. His father is a martyr, so he will be buried inside."

With a creak, the passing motorcycle stopped.The eldest brother respected the two boys, got out of the car and led Cheng Zhien to walk along the road, pointing to a house ahead, "See, that's the house where the cleaners of the martyrs' cemetery live. He has the key, go and tell him say good things."

"Thank you, brother." Cheng Zhien ran towards the house in a hurry.Looking at the white smoke coming from the chimney protruding from the window of the house, my heart was half relieved.Through the iron gate, he called inside, "Is anyone there?"

The rooms opened and an old man came out.White hair, white beard, strong spirit. "Boy, who are you looking for?"

"Grandpa, hello," Cheng Zhien stood up straighter, "My cousin and I came to visit his father's grave. His father was a martyr and was buried in the martyr's cemetery. Can you open the door for me?"

"Why do you come during the New Year's Eve?" It was the first time the old man saw him come to offer sacrifices during the New Year's Eve.

"My brother is going to school in other places, and he only has time to come back during the Chinese New Year. Please do me a favor."

The old man was so old that he couldn't listen to the children's soft words, so he turned around and took out a hat from behind the door, put it on, and walked to the gate, "Who is his father?"

Cheng Zhien thought about his uncle's name.

"Liang Junshan, my father." Liang Yuan walked over and answered in a deep voice behind Cheng Zhien.

"Oh, I know," the old man nodded, "wait, I'll get the key."

10. Chapter 10

The old man led the two of them into the cemetery, walking towards the back along the cement path.

Liang Yuan knew the location, but he had never been here before. Looking at the solemn environment, he felt a little more sad and inexplicably depressed.He suddenly had a lot to say to his father.Before he could understand, his father left. After so many years, sadness has become a faint memory.What he feels now is unwillingness and regret.

The cement road turns a corner, walk a few steps forward, and the location is here.Liang Yuan squatted down, looked at the name on the tombstone, and reached out to wipe the dust off the tombstone.

Cheng Zhien followed and squatted down, silently guarding Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan turned to look at Cheng Zhien, "What about burning paper?"

Cheng Zhien took out a bottle of wine and cigarettes from his bag, and took out burning paper.He unscrewed the lid and sprinkled the wine into the ground, "Uncle, Brother Xiaoyuan and I came to see you."

Liang Yuan lit a cigarette and placed it in front of the tombstone.He silently lit the burning paper again.I said silently in my heart, Dad, after so many years, I have grown up.Sometimes I can't sleep, so I want to find someone to talk to, but there are no more people to talk to, so only Doudou.Since you passed away, no one in this world has been kind to me sincerity.Oh, Doudou counts as one.It should be said that no one loves me like my biological father.well.If there is another world, you should be fine there.

Red flames emerged from the burning paper, and a few pieces of ashes floated up and were carried by the hot air, swirling and flying into the sky.The burning paper is burnt out.

Cheng Zhien turned to look at Liang Yuan, Liang Yuan's expression was indifferent, it seemed that it was very difficult to see the expression of pain on this person's face.

"Let's kowtow." Cheng Zhien said softly.

Liang Yuan nodded.

The two knelt in front of the tombstone and kowtowed respectfully.

Cheng Zhien stood up and looked at the old man standing in the distance.The two walked over and bowed to the old man, "Thank you, grandpa."

The old man hurriedly waved his hand, "Good boy," he patted Liang Yuan's shoulder again, "Your father is a good man. Don't feel bad, go back and have a good year. Your father will be happy when he sees you happy."

Liang Yuan nodded and walked out the door in silence.After getting on the bike, Cheng Zhien came up from behind and put his arms around Liang Yuan's waist.

The motorcycle started, and it was speeding all the way, getting faster and faster.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, don't feel bad, I'm here." Cheng Zhien said close to Liang Yuan's ear, he could feel Liang Yuan's silent sadness, sticking to his back, he could hear Liang Yuan's rapid breathing and heartbeat.

Liang Yuan stopped the car on the side of the road where no one was passing by, got out of the car, turned around and hugged Cheng Zhien. "Doudou."

Cheng Zhien saw two lines of light tears on Liang Yuan's face, and the always strong Liang Yuan shed tears unexpectedly.Cheng Zhien quickly got off the motorcycle, "Brother Xiao Yuan, don't cry, I feel bad too." Cheng Zhien held Liang Yuan in his arms, and was at a loss for words for a while, he rarely saw Liang Yuan, a tough man, shed tears.

"I only have you."

Cheng Zhien's heart seemed to have a crack, and this sentence got in. He hugged Liang Yuan tightly, "I know."

Liang Yuan hugged Cheng Zhien even tighter.

The last few withered and yellow leaves on the poplar trees by the roadside were swept down by the wind, and then flew to the side of the road by the wind.Sporadic firecrackers sounded in the distance, bang, bang.There are no cars passing by on the road, and no one sees them. In this corner, there are two teenagers hugging tightly in the desolate world.

The two embraced, and Cheng Zhien calmed down a bit, "Brother Xiaoyuan, let me tell you a secret."

"Tell me." Liang Yuan didn't let go, feeling a little more nervous.

"I stole the burnt paper that my mother made for the Stove Lord on New Year's Eve. I think my uncle will bless us like the Stove Lord. What do you think?"

Liang Yuan was amused by Cheng Zhien, "Little idiot..."

When Cheng Zhien heard Liang Yuan laugh, he also raised his head and laughed, with a teardrop hanging from the corner of his eye.

Looking at Cheng Zhien's appearance, Liang Yuan couldn't help laughing again, the two idiots looked at each other and smiled.

Liang Yuan felt that Cheng Doudou could always play tricks to make people happy.He pressed Cheng Zhien's head and kissed it on the forehead. "boarding!"

Cheng Zhien was a little confused by this intimate gesture, but seeing Liang Yuan's bad mood, he stopped being entangled and got into the car and continued to hug Liang Yuan's waist.The motorcycle drove towards Liangjia Village at high speed.

Cheng Zhien leaned on Liang Yuan's back, watching the yellow land fly by quickly, thinking, when was the last time I saw Liang Yuan cry?

Maybe it was the time when my uncle died.On the day of the memorial service, Liang Yuan did not cry.No matter how others persuaded him, he didn't cry.Always keep a straight face.

That night, when Cheng Zhien woke up, he was startled when he saw Liang Yuan's bright eyes. "What's wrong with you, Brother Yuan?"

Liang Yuan said quietly: "Doudou, I don't have a father anymore." After speaking, tears gushed out like a spring, and I couldn't even wipe them dry.

Cheng Zhien hugged him hurriedly, imitating how adults comfort him, and patted Liang Yuan's back lightly: "Brother Xiao Yuan, there is me, I will always be with you." After speaking, she cried with Liang Yuan, that night, Two people's tears wet a pillow towel.

Bang, a firecracker exploded in the distance.Cheng Zhien looked up, he was almost home.The motorcycle drove into the house, it was more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Liang Chunhua heard the sound of the motorcycle, went out and asked, "Why did you two go?"

"We went to uncle's grave." Cheng Zhien replied truthfully.

Liang Chunhua was silent, and nodded, "It should."

A few people entered the room, Liang Chunhua pushed Cheng Zhien away, "Go, post the Spring Festival couplets. I'll have a few words with your brother."

Cheng Zhien nodded obediently, and went to boil water on the heating stove outside the kitchen to scald the paste.

After a while, Liang Yuan came out of the room to help Cheng Zhien mix the paste.

"I don't need so much," Cheng Zhien hurriedly pulled the ramen bag, "This is only used to paste the wooden door of my house. The rest can be taped." After finishing speaking, he touched Liang Yuan with his elbow, "Is it finished?"

"It's over."

"Nothing else?"

"No."

"Well, then I'm relieved."

Cheng Jianguo took several buckets of water, carried them into the house and poured them into the tank.When he came out of the house, he was holding a stack of couplets in his hand. "Doudou, post it with your brother. Post it for your grandma's courtyard." After speaking, he looked at Liang Yuan, "And your brother's courtyard, also post it on the gate."

"Got it!" Cheng Zhien happily agreed.

"This is the Shanglian, right?" Cheng Zhien held up a couplet to read.

"Shanglian." Liang Yuan took a look.

"Is the first couplet posted on the left or the right?"

Liang Yuan hesitated, "This..."

Cheng Zhien looked at the horizontal batch, "The horizontal batch is from left to right, and the upper scroll is posted on the left."

Liang Yuan agreed.

After posting the couplets in Cheng's courtyard, the two took the couplets to Uncle Liang's courtyard.Liang Kai was standing bored in the yard looking at the sky in a daze.

Cheng Zhien dangled in front of his eyes, "What are you doing? Waiting for the pie to fall from the sky? Posted couplets!"

Liang Junyan poked his head out from the door, "Xiao Kai, go play with your two brothers, don't stand there by yourself, you don't fit in at all."

Liang Kai pouted.

Cheng Zhien stuffed the tape into Liang Kai's hand, "Let's go."

Taking advantage of Liang Yuan and Liang Kai posting couplets, Cheng Zhien ran to Liang Yuan's yard by himself, and covered the traces of his vomiting with soil.I just remembered that I vomited out all I ate at noon, and now I am a little hungry.

After posting the Spring Festival couplets, Cheng Zhien went to grandma's house, Liang Chunhua and the women had already started making dumplings.Cheng Zhien took the initiative, made two dumplings with the dumpling wrapper, put his chest on his back when he was hungry, and went to his grandma's house to find some snacks to eat.

"Doudou, don't eat snacks, cook it in a while
