As soon as the sky was dawn, the sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve began to become lively.

Lu Wei's father got up early in the morning and went to the side room to take out a large bundle of kicks and put them on.

"I've set off fire again." Lu Mei buried her head in the quilt and said in annoyance.

"Your dad is just doing this, but today is New Year's Eve. If he wants to, put it on, please put it on more." Lu Wei's mother sat up from the quilt and said, "Okay, don't sleep anymore. Today is New Year, get up early."

"No, let's sleep for a while." Xiaomei twisted her in the quilt as if she was coquettish.

"Get up quickly, have breakfast later, and after dinner, you have to visit your grandma's grave. Your brother is not at home this year, so it's okay if your eldest granddaughter doesn't go?"

"Okay, okay, I know." Xiaomei complained, while the boss was unwilling to get up from the quilt and started wearing clothes.

There was a huge sound of a large second kicker outside the window, and the huge recoil made the windows vibrate faintly.

Lu Wei and Lu Wei’s father both like to set off fireworks during the Chinese New Year, but Lu Wei’s mother and younger sister don’t like it very much. His mother doesn’t like to listen to fireworks at all, while Lu Mei likes to watch beautiful fireworks and doesn’t like this kind of kicking that has nothing but a loud noise.

"Okay, let me go!" Lu Wei's mother walked down from the cement balcony in the backyard with pig food.

"I know." Lu Wei's father said while putting two kicks into the cannon stand.

"Don't let it go. Your son has to come back after the party tonight," said my mother while feeding the pigs.

"What else?" Lu Wei's father said, lit up his head with a cigarette butt. After a while, there was a "bang bang" sound, and more than a dozen kicks with a burst of green smoke were hit.

"This is endless, wait a moment to release it! The pigs were so scared that they dared not eat."

"I won't let go, by the way, don't forget to feed Xiaobai." Dad put away the remaining two kicks and said.

"I know," my mother said, taking the remaining pig food to the doghouse.

Xiaobai is a white fat dog, very cute and timid. He is just a timid. When he saw a stranger coming, he would run away from the nest when he was scared. At this time, he heard a huge firecracker sound, and he was so scared that he crawled back into the nest.

"Xiaobai, come out for dinner." My mother poured the remaining pig food into Xiaobai's basin.

After yelling twice, Xiaobai shook his tail and walked out of the nest. After taking a few bites, he arched the basin to the side, and then crawled back into the nest.

"This dog has a more and more frivolous appetite, it's really hard to serve!" Lu Wei's mother said angrily.

"Don't worry, I'll feed you later! Go and cook quickly." Lu Wei's father said and entered the house.

After breakfast, Lu Wei's father went to the convenience store opposite to buy yellow paper and fragrance for visiting the grave.

"Hey, I heard that your Dawei is on the Spring Festival Gala? When will it come out?" Lu Wei's aunt from the convenience store asked, saying that she was an aunt, but she was actually about the same age as Lu Wei's father, but she was a little older.

"I don't know, the station keeps it confidential and I don't even allow me to call now." Lu Wei's father said while paying.

"Your family is feasible now. I have raised such a strong son and earned so much money in just half a year of going out. I will bring back so many things for you couple, haha." Aunt Lu Wei said enviously.

"Haha, there's not much money, this kid can just mess with it." Lu Wei's father said. In the past two days, neighbors saw the couple. They were all in this way, and they were full of envy. They really made them have a good time, and there were more people visiting their homes. Looking at the huge flat right-angle color TV, everyone was shocked. It turned out that the largest color TV in the village was the 25th color TV in Jie Hong's family who was running passenger transport in the village. Now this one has become the largest in the village.

When they got home, Lu Wei's father called Lu Mei, and the father and the two walked into the ground in Dongshan with the offerings and wine prepared by Lu Wei's mother.

Visiting the grave on New Year’s Eve is a tradition in Lu Wei’s hometown, which means letting the old people celebrate the New Year together.

After leaving the village, people went to visit the graves in groups of three or three on the dirt road leading to the ground. Everyone greeted each other when they met.

"Good morning, haha"

"Yes, it's like this every year. Go and come back early."

"I heard that your son is at the Spring Festival Gala."

"Ah, yes."

"I really make a fortune. This guy has to get up to this grave today."

...

Along the way, Lu Wei's father greeted the people in the village from time to time. Almost everyone had such a set of lyrics. The countryside was small and something was spread quickly. Lu Wei made a lot of money by singing and attended the Spring Festival Gala in less than two days. The whole village knew about it. Everyone envied the Lu family for having such a promising son. At the same time, adults began to get used to using Lu Wei to educate their children. There were also several Changshi who heard this year that they were preparing to take the exam for Lu Wei to take the exam.

A snow that just fell two days ago made the fields outside the village full of white colors. From time to time, the sound of kicking sounds came from the distance, adding a little vitality to the cold weather. Walking through the dam at the east end of the village, crossing a small river with ice, and then climbing over a small hill that was not too high, Lu Wei’s father and Lu Mei came to their own cemetery.

Lu Wei's grandmother was not early. As early as when Lu Wei was in elementary school, Lu Wei's uncle was carrying a tutor to carry a funeral for a village family (note: carrying a coffin), and was accidentally hit on the head by a barracks. He died of injuries. The old lady who had only been through the house for two years became a widow. Lu Wei's grandmother could not stand such a blow and was in a depressed mood. She was getting worse and worse for half a year. Finally, she spread her hands and left like this when the Chinese New Year was about to pass.

Lu Wei's father came to the grave, picked up a corn stalk from the ground, swept the stone altar in front of the grave, and took out the vegetables inside: the leek stuffed dumplings, fried croquettes, roasted pork, two snacks, a total of five bowls, arranged in the front, three, and two, and placed three pairs of chopsticks below.

After pulling out the weeds in front of the grave, Lu Wei's father lit three incense sticks, inserted them into the grave, then took out the paper money from the plastic bag and lit it with a lighter.

The yellow flames were jumping in front of the grave. Lu Wei's father took a few steps back. Lu Mei had already cleaned up a small piece of yellow soil. At the grave, Lu Wei's father knelt down and kowtowed three times to the grave. Lu Mei also learned to kowtow obediently.

"Mom, it's the Chinese New Year, my son takes your granddaughter to see you here. Let me tell you good news. Your grandson went out to study for half a year and is promising. He made a lot of money by writing songs outside. He went home two days ago and got back 200,000 yuan and pulled a cart of things." Lu Wei's father said as if he was chatting.

"Just, just a few years after I got home, the crew of the Spring Festival Gala looked for him again, saying that he was on CCTV. This was a big happy event to show his face. The whole village envied your grandson now, and they all said that he had become a big star now. Unfortunately, you left early and you can't see the glory of your grandson on TV." Lu Wei's father said, his voice a little choked.

Lu Mei was behind, and she began to sob gently. When grandma was alive, the couple who loved her the most. Lu Wei was in her teens. Grandma was still carrying her back and carrying Lu Mei until she was six years old. Later, she couldn't carry her back and gave up. Now, after hearing what her father said, she couldn't help but think of her kind face when grandma was there, and she felt sad.

"By the way, I heard from people that although Dawei has gone, it is not certain whether he can get there or not. If you know underground, you must bless your grandson to have a smooth party this time and compete for our Lu family." Luwei's father said while using the branches to thrust the paper money.

After a while, the paper money was burned out. Lu Wei's father opened the white wine he brought and sprinkled it on the ashes of the paper money, saying, "Mom, it's the Chinese New Year, you, my grandmother, and my grandmother are also gathering together to eat and drink more. Your granddaughter and I are going back now."
