Early in the morning on New Year's Day, many people came to Lao Ye's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Ye Tan was not familiar with the people in Yunling Village, so he followed the old couple and asked them to shout whatever they wanted. He called uncles, uncles, aunts, uncles, aunts, uncles, uncles, aunts, uncles, aunties, etc., and then called Ye Tan directly. Too much.
Can't remember clearly, can't remember at all.
Fortunately, Ye Tan won't be able to stay in Yunling Village for many days, and he won't have too much contact with the villagers, so it won't be a big deal.
After the bustling first day of the Lunar New Year, Ding Jiuniang said to Ye Tan: "Xiao Tan, today is your mother's birthday. Your father and I will take you to see your mother. By the way, take a look at your grandparents too."
The original owner’s mother’s birthday is on the second day of the Lunar New Year?
Regarding this, Ye Tan really didn't know. After all, the original owner didn't know either. In his memory, no one had ever told the original owner. Even during the Chinese New Year, no one took the original owner to meet his grandfather's family on the second day of the new year.
Thinking of this, Ye Tan asked: "Master, grandma, my mother's birthday is on the second day of the lunar new year?"
"Yes." Ding Jiuniang stroked Ye Tan's hair, sighed, and said to Ye Tan: "Your father said before that he also started a new family. Qian Huaihua treats you well and is afraid of telling you about your mother. Things will affect your relationship with Qian Huaihua. If Qian Huaihua treats you badly, it will be bad. Your father and I believed your father’s lies, so we never told you about your grandpa’s house. You can’t think of them!”
Speaking of this, Ding Jiuniang was so angry that her chest kept heaving, and she was obviously emotionally unstable.
Ye Tan hurriedly caressed Ding Jiuniang's chest: "Nai, let's not mention those people. We have nothing to do with them in the future. Let's go see my mother and grandparents now."
"Yes, don't mention that beast." Ye Laoshuan also nodded and said.
"Well, let's not mention it." Ding Jiuniang wiped the corner of her eyes and packed away some snacks. Now that paper money, incense and candles are no longer used, she can bring some snacks to express her feelings.
Ye Tan carried the snacks and followed the old couple out of the house and headed towards the back mountain.
The reason why Yunling Village is called Yunling Village is because it is next to Yunling Mountain. Yunling Mountain is very big and is said to stretch for more than a thousand miles. The terrain in the mountain is complex, there are many mountains and forests, and there are many natural beasts. Basically no one dares to go to Yunling Mountain. Go deep into the mountains of Lingshan.
The mountain behind Yunling Village is just a small peak on the periphery of Yunling Mountain. It is not high and there are no big wild animals. There are not even many hares and pheasants. At most, the villagers of Yunling Village can Pick wild vegetables, and in autumn, just pick some wild fruits.
At the foot of the back mountain is a cemetery. All the elderly people in Yunling Village will be sent here to be buried. Ye Tan's grandfather and his family were buried here.
Ye Tan looked at the three tombs side by side. The middle one was the tomb of the original owner's mother, Lin Xiaoxiang, and the two sides were the tombs of the original owner's grandfather Lin Zhiyi and grandmother Wei Yuxiang.
This was the first time Ye Tan knew the names of the original owner's grandparents. Looking at the two names on the tombstone, Ye Tan silently wrote them down.
As for the check-in point next to the grave, she ignored it for the time being.
Tuanzi seemed to know that the situation was not right, so he didn't say anything.
"Old brother, sister-in-law, Xiaoxiang." Ye Laoshuan looked at the graves of the old man's family, and the corners of his eyes were moist. He sighed, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "I brought Xiaotan to see you. I'm sorry. Ah, I'm confused. I just brought Xiao Tan to see you today. It's because I'm useless. I couldn't protect Xiao Tan before. Don't worry, I will never do it again in the future. From now on, I will fight for my life. We must protect Xiaotan."
After hearing what Ye Laoshuan said, Ding Jiuniang couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes. She knew that the old man felt guilty. After learning about Xiao Tan's experience at home, he couldn't sleep all night long and came here whenever he could. Sitting with Lao Lin and his family for most of the day, she knew that he felt sorry for his brother and his family, so she didn't persuade him.
Ye Tan placed the snacks he brought in front of the tomb, then knelt down in front of the three tombstones: "Grandpa, grandma, mom, I'm here to see you."
After saying that, Ye Tan kowtowed to the three tombs. Since she had taken over the body of the original owner, she should naturally perform her obligations on behalf of the original owner. In this regard, Ye Tan felt that there was nothing wrong with it. What's more, since these two days, Ye Tan From the words of Lao Shuan and Ding Jiuniang, she knew how much the original owner's grandparents and mother loved the original owner.
"Yuxiang." Ding Jiuniang looked at Wei Yuxiang's tombstone and said, "This is the first time you have seen Xiaotan grow up. Look, how similar he is to you when you were young. He is a beautiful big man." It’s a girl.”
The grandfather and grandson talked a lot in front of the tombstones of the three members of the Lin family, and then turned back to Lao Ye's house. Before going back, Ye Tan signed the name quietly and found that what he signed was another map. Fragments, she couldn't help but be surprised in her heart, but now was not the time to find out, so she followed Ye Laoshuan and Ding Jiuniang back.
When he returned to Lao Ye's house, Ye Tan curiously asked Ding Jiuniang: "Grandma, am I very similar to my grandma when she was young?"
"It looks very similar." Ding Jiuniang looked at Ye Tan with a smile and said, "When I see you, it's like I saw your grandmother when she was young."
"Then..." Ye Tan pursed his lips and asked, "Do you have any photos of my grandparents when they were young? I want to see them."
Ding Jiuniang sighed and said: "No, it's all burned. Before your grandfather passed away, he burned a lot of things, including their photos. Your grandfather originally wanted to stop it. No matter what, I have to leave you a souvenir. I don’t think so, but your grandpa disagreed and said something incomprehensible. Anyway, they were all burned in the end and not a single piece was left. Otherwise, you can see what your grandpa and grandma look like now."
"It's all burned!" Ye Tan felt a little incredible: "Why?"
Ye Laoshuan took a puff of dry cigarette on the side and sighed: "I don't know, your grandfather just said that you can't leave any trouble or anything. I think it may have something to do with your grandfather's previous experience. I don't know the specifics. "
Can't leave any trouble behind?
Ye Tan didn't know why, but he remembered the map fragment he signed in just now, and asked out of nowhere: "Grandpa, where did my grandpa burn the things?"
"Right in front of your mother's grave." Ye Laoshuan then responded.
Ye Tan's heart skipped a beat. She had a gut feeling that the map fragment might be related to the original owner's grandfather, but she didn't know the specific connection yet. She could only figure it out later.
After thinking about it, Ye Tan asked curiously: "Grandpa, what experiences did my grandpa have before?"
"Haha, I don't know this, and your grandpa never said it." Ye Laoshuan smiled and said, "Your grandpa and grandma were not originally from Yunling Village. They brought your mother from other places more than thirty years ago. .”
