The next day, Ye Tianxin and her grandmother took out some tools from the storage room and went to the Ye family's old graveyard.
At this time, cremation was not very popular.
After the people in the town of Jiameng died, they were buried in the ground.
Ye Tianxin's grandfather and other relatives of the Ye family were all buried here.
The triangular tombstones were placed next to each other, and the tombstones were covered with withered grass and thorns.
Ye Tianxin held a machete and chopped off the branches and thorns that grew from the tombstones.
She rarely did such chores, and the way she held the machete was not right.
She did not manage to chop much, and her palm even blistered.
"Let me do it."
Grandmother took the machete from Ye Tianxin's hand and chopped off the withered branches swiftly.
In the past, Grandmother used to do such chores by herself.
The morning fog dissipated, and the warm winter sun shone through the fog, illuminating the quiet mountains.
Xie Xuning's figure walked out of the fog. Ye Tianxin saw Xie Xuning and asked, "Dad, why are you here?"
"I'm here to help you."
Xie Xuning was a man, and such heavy work should be done by him.
"Mom, let me do it."
Grandmother said, "No need, I'll do it."
The family of three worked together.
Soon, the tombstones that were covered with weeds became clean.
Ye Tianxin's face was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
"Dad, you came here overnight, right?"
Xie Xuning nodded. "Yes, I should also pay respects to my family members' tombs."
After paying respects to the tombs, Grandmother brought Ye Tianxin and Xie Xuning to visit the tombs one by one. She told them about the relationship between the people buried in the tombs and them.
Three sticks of incense, two red candles, a stack of paper money, and a string of firecrackers.
These were their thoughts.
"Old man, I've brought Tianxin to see you. It won't be long before I come to see you."
The last grave belonged to Ye Tianxin's grandfather.
Grandmother stood in front of the tombstone and murmured softly.
She used to be like this too. When she came alone, she always liked to talk to him.
"Tianxin, come, kneel down to your grandfather."
Ye Tianxin and Xie Xuning knelt down at the same time and bowed according to traditional customs.
Grandmother then asked Ye Tianxin and Xie Xuning to get up.
Xie Xuning lit the firecrackers on the side, and the firecrackers splashed everywhere.
There was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.
"Old man, we'll see you next year.
