After washing up, he still squinted his eyes, didn't wear a hat, and walked to the table with a bird's nest hair. He insisted on sitting next to Meng Tao. Meng Tao stood up to get something, and the seat was taken by Shen Yu. Xu Yuting's eyes suddenly popped up and glared at people. Now he finally seemed to be sober.

However, his eyes were not enough for Shen Yu. Shen Yu just glanced at him indifferently, and he subconsciously turned his eyes away. Then he immediately felt that his behavior was wrong, why did he act like a coward? He quickly glared at him again, but Shen Yu had already turned to talk to Liu Jianxin. Xu Yuting couldn't help feeling annoyed.

For breakfast, Meng Tao made stir-fried cabbage, ham, steamed pumpkin, fried eggs, pickled cucumbers, kimchi, and a plate of spicy garlic sauce. The staple food was white rice porridge. The grains were crystal clear and plump, and the porridge was white and fragrant. This was made from special high-quality white rice, which was also brought back from Shen Yu's truck, but Shen Yu said that it was obtained by Meng Zhehan.

Meng Zhehan brought a total of two bags of high-quality white rice and two bags of white flour, each bag holding 20 kilograms, in addition to 10 kilograms of peanut oil, and some sugar, tobacco, and alcohol. The cigarettes were for distributing when he met the villagers, and he also brought a suitcase of new clothes, shoes, socks, cloth, gauze scarves, vanishing cream and other girls' supplies.

Meng Tao felt that Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan came to bring her warmth and help her alleviate poverty.

The table was full of food, every item was delicious and everyone was enjoying the meal.

Liu Yongsheng first asked how Jinniu was. Meng Tao said that Wang Tiegen was eating with him in the room. Liu Yongsheng nodded. He originally wanted to criticize Xu Yuting for sleeping in, but Xu Yuting obediently put a piece of steamed pumpkin into his bowl. Liu Yongsheng tasted it and didn't bother to say anything.

Then they ate stir-fried cabbage, pickled cucumbers and kimchi. These were all very common things in the past. He didn't know what was going on, maybe it was because the soil in Linshui Village was good, or because Xiao Huahua was a skilled cook, but after he tasted them, he thought they were especially delicious, and these bastards all rushed to grab them.

Halfway through the meal, the big steamed buns were cooked. The white flour had been kneaded and proofed last night, and each one was fluffy and soft. They were snatched up as soon as they were served on the table.

Aunt Yang came over in the morning to help with steaming buns. As for Zhou Cuiling, she promised to be nice last night, but she has not been seen since. Even Zhang Guoqing did not show up. Two people in love, reunited after a long separation, there is no way to find them.

Liu Yongsheng invited Aunt Yang to sit down and have breakfast together. Aunt Yang smiled and said that she was eating in the kitchen while she continued to light the fire as she had two pots of steamed buns to cook.

At this time, Captain Bao came over. Meng Tao said that she was full, so she gave him a seat and brought a pair of clean bowls and chopsticks. There were two dishes that had not been touched, just in case someone came when he was halfway through the meal, so they were all served.

Shen Yu, Meng Zhehan, Liu Jianye and Xu Yulin were all full, so they sat nearby and listened to Liu Yongsheng and Captain Bao talking. Of course, they were talking about how they would go up the mountain to sweep Meng Shengli's grave later.

In sensitive times, sacrifices can easily be regarded as superstitious activities, so this should not be extravagant, but there is no need to avoid it deliberately. Just go up the mountain and come back, and don't stay too long.

Candles and yellow paper cannot be burned. In the countryside, you can light a stick of incense and offer a glass of wine. Anyway, there are not many people seeing you in the mountains. If you are in the city, you can just express your love with a silk flower.

After discussing with Captain Bao, Liu Yongsheng gave Meng Tao some instructions, and then said to Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan, "I just miss my old friend so much that I have to go and see him. You don't have to go, just stay at home and rest, right?"

Shen Yu said that he would definitely go, and Meng Zhehan also said: "Grandpa Meng is worthy of respect. Now that we are here, we should pay him a visit."

Liu Yongsheng nodded and said nothing more.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, the group went out and walked towards the left side of Daqing Mountain.

The puppy wanted to follow, but the snow on the ground was quite thick. Meng Tao was afraid that it was too small and would get frostbite, so she asked it to stay at home with Taurus.

Meng Tao was holding a bamboo basket in her hand. Shen Yu wanted to help her carry it, but Meng Tao said, "No, it's very light."

It was indeed very light, with only three steamed buns, a cooked chicken, and a handful of incense sticks. Liu Jianye also had a small cloth bag in his hand, which contained a bottle of wine and a box of cigarettes.

We walked quickly and arrived in about twenty minutes.

Meng Shengli's tomb is located slightly uphill at the foot of the Daqing Mountain. Meng Tao knew nothing about Feng Shui, so he looked around and thought it was not bad. It would be quite scenic in spring, summer and autumn.

When Liu Yongsheng saw the tombstone, his eyes immediately turned red and he shouted, "Victory, brother!" and then he choked.

After a while, he continued, "I, Liu Yongsheng, finally found you! I came to see you on behalf of Xu Zhenguo! You old man, you are so cruel. We couldn't find you, so why didn't you come to find us? You have obviously been to my hometown and know where we are..."

Liu Yongsheng's words were like opening a chatterbox, and he kept on talking endlessly.

Shen Yu helped Meng Tao arrange the offerings and lit the incense sticks with a lighter. It was still snowing and windy, so the matches went out one by one, making it difficult to light the incense sticks.

Liu Jianye and Xu Yulin were pouring wine and lighting cigarettes, while Xu Yuting stood beside them, wanting to do something, but he was unable to help at all. Finally, he was pulled away by Meng Zhehan, because he was not only in the way but also blocking the view. Meng Zhehan was dazzled by him and could not see clearly how those people were placing things.

Captain Bao brought a shovel and tidied up the cemetery a little, then added some new soil on the grave. Zhou Shi'an saw that it was almost time and reminded Liu Yongsheng. Liu Yongsheng then stopped nagging, wiped his red eyes, turned around and directed the younger generations to stand in line. He took the lead with a serious expression and bowed three times towards Meng Shengli's tomb.

Then Liu Yongsheng walked to the tombstone again, picked up the wine bottle and filled the glass. He was taking medicine and could not drink alcohol, but he didn't care at this time. He took a sip himself and poured the rest in front of the tombstone. He muttered something in a low voice for about seven or eight minutes before he stood up and left reluctantly with the help of Liu Jianxin.

Meng Tao took the basket and went forward to collect the offerings. She looked at the tombstone and felt that she should say something, but she didn't know where to start. During this hesitation, Shen Yu came to help her. Seeing her staring at the tombstone, he smiled and asked, "What do you want to say to Grandpa?"

Meng Tao thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa lived through the war years. He joined the revolutionary team, resisted foreign enemies, and defended the country. He is a hero and has no regrets in his life. I hope he has an afterlife, where he will have a happy family, good health, and a peaceful and prosperous life!"

Shen Yu was about to say something in praise, but Meng Zhehan, who was standing behind him, said first: "That's very well said! Taohua, Grandpa Meng will be happy for you and will be proud of you!"

Shen Yu secretly glared at him: No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak, so why not just be a light bulb quietly?
