Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

"What? You don't welcome big brother back?"

Hearing Li Yuanbei's tone, Li Xiangnan looked over intently, trying to catch a clue that something was wrong from the other person's face.

Then a figure flashed before him——

"Big Pot! I missed you so much!"

When Li Xiangnan came to his senses, Li Dingxi had already thrown himself into his arms like an octopus, holding him tightly.

"Girl, how old are you? Seventeen, right? Why are you still so clingy to me? You're making a fool of yourself!"

He put his hand on Li Dingxi's little head, and his words were full of the affection of an older brother to his younger sister, and then - he wanted to pull her head away.

"call!"

The two of them didn't notice, but Li Yuanbei breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

She perked up and added, "Brother, how...how did you get back? By train? Or by car?"

"I came back on a motorcycle!" Li Xiangnan pulled Octopus Li Dingxi away and looked up at his slightly older twin sister, Li Yuanbei. "Where are you guys going?"

"Big pot, let's go find it..." Li Dingxi opened his mouth to answer.

"Let's go and offer sacrifices! The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon!" Li Yuanbei answered quickly.

"Sister..." Li Dingxi opened his mouth.

"Shut up!" Li Yuanbei immediately pulled her.

Li Xiangnan curled his lips and tilted his head: "It's still half a month until the 15th of July! What are you doing?"

Li Yuanbei sighed, "Brother, everyone in the clan says girls shouldn't go into the ancestral hall, and we haven't been in all these years! But we have our own grandma, so we have to go and see her! When the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, you can go up, but we can't go! After so many years, we have grown up, and if we want to go and pay our respects, we can only go secretly!"

"..." Li Xiangnan's heart moved slightly, and he had to suppress the doubts that had just arisen in his heart. He glanced in the direction of the mountain and said, "Okay, I'll go with you!"

Grandma's grave has been replaced with a cenotaph and a tombstone. He came to pay his respects during the Chinese New Year this year. Seeing that everything was the same as before and the grave was still there, he felt uncomfortable.

So I told my uncle's father and my third uncle about my idea.

After all, grandma is still alive, and it would be wrong to erect a monument or a grave for her.

But if the tomb is destroyed, it would be an extremely unfilial act for people of my father's generation!

Plus, my grandfather's generation was very cautious in doing things. I always felt that my grandmother was still a legend when she was alive. I had never seen her in person. What if I found out that everything was just a rumor fabricated by others...

It’s not a good thing to keep messing with grandma’s grave!

The matter of demolishing the tomb was put on hold.

When Li Yuanbei brought up this matter again, Li Xiangnan thought of it and also remembered that his grandfather had gone to the northwest and there was no news from him, so he felt a little heavy-hearted.

"Brother, are you worried?"

After walking for a while and approaching the Martyrs' Cemetery, Li Yuanbei suddenly asked.

Li Xiangnan was walking at the end. He looked up and saw his sister's scrutinizing gaze. He then realized that after not seeing her for half a year, the small and bad-tempered girl who used to follow behind him had grown into a graceful and straight-figured young lady, like a little adult.

"It's okay!" He waved his hand pretending to be relaxed and was about to laugh.

Li Yuanbei said seriously: "Brother, we are also members of the Li family. If anything happens, we are there for you!"

Li Xiangnan was shocked and looked over. He saw a toughness and perseverance in Li Yuanbei's eyes that he had never seen before.

Her eyes lowered again and fell on Li Dingxi's equally bright but silly face, and there was a hint of the soul of being a member of the Li family in her eyes.

"You are children and don't understand the adult world..." As the eldest brother, Li Xiangnan naturally didn't want to let them get involved in the adult world too early.

"Brother, we've grown up!" Li Yuanbei shook his head and said, "For some things, we also have our own ways to fight for them!"

"..."

Li Xiangnan raised his head and faced those two young and handsome faces. Thousands of words were stuck in his throat.

"Let's go, we're almost there!" At this time, Li Yuanbei looked deeply at his elder brother, turned around and led his sister forward.

grown up……

Behind him, Li Xiangnan chewed over these words over and over again, unconsciously thinking of Chao Donglai again.

Seventeen-year-old Li Yuanbei has his own thoughts.

What about eighteen-year-old Chaodong?

Where is he?

What are you thinking about?

"Brother! I don't quite understand the rules. Do I need to light some incense? I don't have any! Do you have any cigarettes?"

Suddenly a reminder brought Li Xiangnan back to his senses. He realized that he had unknowingly walked through the Martyrs' Mountain full of tombstones and came to the tomb of his grandmother Mu Huanying.

In front of the monument, three bowls of side dishes had been placed, and a bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks were also placed on the ground.

It doesn't look like something prepared for a sacrifice.

Li Xiangnan took out a cigarette from his pocket, sucked out the spark with his mouth, and stuck it into the ground.

The three of them knelt and kowtowed.

Li Xiangnan's heart was filled with complicated emotions, and then he heard Li Yuanbei's cold voice.

"Grandma, I'm going to Wudaokou to go to college next September!"

"Me too!"

Li Xiangnan: "..."

"Grandma, I want to study physics and military engineering. I want to be a heroic girl like you!"

"Me too!"

Li Xiangnan: "..."

"Grandma, if the Li family can't protect you, I'll do it!"

"Me too!"

Li Xiangnan: "..."

"Brother, why are you crying? You're crying like a baby. If you let me be your big sister later, like Chaodong, I'll definitely beat you up!"

"Me too!"

Li Dingxi shouted without hesitation, then came to his senses and realized that his sister was about to hit his brother. He quickly waved his hands and said in panic, "I'm different! Brother, I can't bear to hit you! Brother, you... why are you crying?"

Li Xiangnan raised his head, slowly stood up from the ground, and wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes.

"I'm so relieved. You've really grown up!" He forced a smile, reached out and held Li Dingxi's head, then turned and asked, "Yuanbei, you look a lot like grandma!"

Li Yuanbei pouted. "You've never seen her, so how do you know I look like her?"

"Feeling!" Li Xiangnan turned his head and looked at the vast tombstones on the side of the hillside. Feeling the sharp mountain breeze blowing on his face, he said, "Grandma must have been this heroic when she was young, dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse!"

He retracted his gaze and fell on his sister's face, "Yuanbei, when I see grandma again, I will definitely ask her if you look like her when she was a child!"

Li Yuanbei shook his head: "No, I'll ask her myself!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked down the mountain decisively, leaving Li Xiangnan in shock.

……

Nine p.m.

Li Xiangnan rode his bicycle back from Lijia Village Brigade after receiving a call from his uncle. In order not to wake up the villagers, he walked all the way into the village from the village entrance in the dark.

But when he was almost home, he suddenly caught a glimpse of his two younger sisters tiptoeing out of the house again.

They carried flashlights and headed towards the ancestral hall.

Li Xiangnan shuddered and quickly followed...
