Soon, it was Tomb Sweeping Day.
At this time, almost every family put down their work and went up the mountain to visit the tombs.
The place where their ancestors were buried was only a little higher at the foot of the mountain. It was too dangerous for the villagers to go any deeper into the mountain.
Old Zhao's family prepared paper money, incense, candles, and firecrackers. They also prepared dishes for the tombs themselves.
In the place where Zhao Yun 'er transmigrated, there were usually three dishes for the tombs: chicken, fish, and meat. In addition, there were also three bowls of rice and three cups of wine.
After burning the paper money, the wine would be poured directly on the tombs, and the food would be brought back for the family to eat.
Usually, ordinary people would not have the opportunity to eat chicken and fish. Therefore, Tomb Sweeping Day could be considered as an opportunity to improve the family's food. It was similar to the New Year, where they could eat fishy food.
Zhao Yun 'er prepared incense, candles, and paper money, and Old Zhao's family prepared the dishes.
After they were done visiting the graves, they would have to have a meal together with the other families.
Early in the morning, Old Zhao's family got up and walked into the mountain together.
Old Zhao's tombs were relatively high, so they had to climb up the mountain a little more.
On the way, they met many villagers who were there to visit the tombs.
Zhao Yun 'er was very curious because it was the first time she had experienced such a custom.
She kept looking left and right along the way.
"Father, Mother, where is our family's tombs?" Zhao Yun 'er asked.
"It's still at the top of the mountain! We have to climb for a while! "Zhao Wenhua said.
Zhao Yun 'er nodded. "Okay!"
"Huo … Huo …" Huo Chunhua was already very old. Climbing the mountain was a strenuous job. After running for such a long time, Huo Chunhua felt that her legs were weak, and she could not climb anymore.
"Old man, let's take a break!" Huo Chunhua shouted.
Zhao Xinhui said, "Father, let's take a break. I'm exhausted! I can't climb anymore! "
Zhao Baoshan got angry when he saw this pair of mother and daughter. No one else said they were tired, but they said they were so delicate!
"Why are you resting? There was still some distance to go! If we don't continue, who knows when we'll reach our ancestor's grave. "Zhao Baoshan said coldly with a sullen face.
"That's right, Mother, Little Sister, just hold on a little longer. Just grit your teeth and you'll be able to get through it." Zhao Wentao persuaded.
Huo Chunhua pursed her lips. She couldn't even walk, but no one in the family cared about her.
Zhao Xinhui complained, "Seriously, why did our ancestors' tombs have to be so high up? We're all tired from climbing. If I had known, I wouldn't have come here!"
Zhao Xinhui's strange words made Zhao Baoshan even angrier. "You wretched girl. How dare you talk nonsense about our ancestors' tombs? Don't you know the rules?"
Huo Chunhua quickly said, "Hui 'er, you can't talk nonsense about our ancestors. If he gets angry, he'll come and find you tonight!"
"Mother, who are you trying to scare?" Zhao Xinhui snorted, looking unconcerned.
Huo Chunhua said with a serious face, "How could Mother scare you! It's true! If you offend our ancestors, getting sick is a small matter. If he takes your life, you won't even be able to cry! "
"Then … Then I won't say it, okay …" Seeing that Huo Chunhua didn't seem to be joking, Zhao Xinhui said guiltily.
