strike first

Early July. It has entered the hot summer. The arrival of dawn is much faster than winter.

For the past four years, Jiang’s family has been getting up very early on July [-]nd, because today is Jiang Ziling’s grandpa’s memorial day. The second grandpa’s memorial day is in mid-August. Since the two brothers were reunited in heaven, Jiang Tao sent them The two people's memorial days are all on Jiang Shaofeng's day.

When I took the sacrifice prepared last night and set off, the sun had just risen from the east. The morning glow dyed the sky beautifully. But the people in the carriage, except the driver was driving seriously. Jiang Ziling looked out the window indifferently. The rest is drowsy.

Jiang Yu sat on Jiang Ziling's lap. The whole body was buried in Jiang Ziling's arms and fell asleep. It seemed that his sleeping position made him uncomfortable. His little head turned to this side for a while, then that way for a while.

Jiang Ziling saw him. He wanted to lay him down and hug him to sleep. But Jiang Yu hugged him tightly. He didn't want to.

"Brother, brother Zihao will also go to see grandpa today, right?" Jiang Yu suddenly thought of something, raised his small head and looked at Jiang Ziling.

Jiang Zihao would meet them in the cemetery every year. But Jiang Yu only found out that Jiang Ziling had an older brother named Jiang Zihao last year.

"Well, he may come later this year. When I called him, he didn't answer. He probably hasn't woken up yet." Jiang Ziling explained.

"What about Uncle Gongming? Why didn't he come to live with us last night? We all went there in Uncle Gongming's car last year."

"He must be busy." Jiang Ziling said casually, because he was also strange. Since returning from the trip, that guy has never contacted him again.

Maybe in a sweet affair with his lover. Forget about it.

"Then..." Jiang Yu still wanted to ask something. But seeing Zeng Ailing looking at him, he didn't dare to ask. He pouted and pressed his face against Jiang Ziling's chest.

Jiang Ziling realized that Jiang Yu's words were swallowed abruptly. He turned his head and glanced at Zeng Ailing who was also sitting in the back seat.

He doesn't like this feeling.

"Xiaoling. How is your chat with Xiaoxiao recently?" Zeng Ailing asked. "Your date these days. Did she ask you to go to his house to meet her parents?"

Jiang Ziling laughed dryly. He could say that he was asked out these few days, and all he met was her brother. That girl has someone she likes. It's just that her parents didn't agree with him being with that man, so they arranged to have a relationship with Jiang Ziling. On a blind date. Instead, her brother found a partner.

Seeing that Jiang Ziling didn't answer, Zeng Ailing felt embarrassed to ask further questions. Afterwards, the carriage returned to silence.

After half an hour, I arrived at the cemetery. There were already three cars parked in the parking lot of the cemetery. It seems that there are quite a few people who came to worship today.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Ziling's eyes focused on the license plate of a black Rolls-Royce on the parking lot. His pupils trembled slightly, expressing that he couldn't believe what he saw.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Tao, who was carrying the sacrifice, glanced at the Rolls-Royce in the direction of Jiang Ziling's line of sight. An ominous premonition crept into his heart.

In the past three years, every time they came to offer sacrifices, there were always sacrifices older than them in front of the graves of the two brothers Jiang Shaofeng. At that time, they just thought that their relatives came earlier than him.

Today seems to be a good time to see the faces of people worse than them.

Walking into the cemetery. The black figure stands out among the neat and orderly tombstones. His half white hair makes his back look so vicissitudes and isolation.

Walk to Jiang Shaofeng's tombstone. There are already flowers and candles on it. And the figure is standing two rows in front. In front of Jiang Shaofeng's tombstone.

"This is your thing." Jiang Tao asked.

Huangfu Gong turned around, glanced at each of their faces, and finally stopped on Jiang Ziling's face, smiling kindly, but didn't say anything.

If it was someone else, maybe the sacrifices placed in front of the tombstone at this time would have been thrown away with contempt.

But Jiang Tao didn't do that. He just quietly watched the black and white photo on Jiang Shaofeng's tombstone.

"Why did you do this?" Zeng Ailing asked Jiang Tao's heartfelt thoughts.

"Come to visit friends. No reason is needed." Huangfu Gong said kindly. "I'll go back first. I won't disturb you."

The four of them stared at the back of Huangfu Gongping leaving speechlessly.

friend……

"Brother, that man's grandfather is his friend." Jiang Yu tugged at the corner of Jiang Ziling's clothes. I don't know if he was feeling emotional or asking a question.

Next, after worshiping Jiang Shaofeng, Jiang Tao asked Zeng Ailing and Jiang Ziling to worship in front of Jiang Shaojie's tombstone. He stayed alone in front of Jiang Shaofeng's grave for a while.

This was discussed by Jiang Tao and Zeng Ailing last night. The entire worship ceremony was completed within their plan. But when it was time to leave, Jiang Ziling reluctantly stayed in front of Shao Jie's grave for a while longer. Quietly Look at the black and white photos pasted on the tombstone.

The face in the photo. The corners of the mouth are slightly raised. Jiang Ziling looked at it, as if he could see the time go back. Back to the time when the person in the photo was still alive. Seeing his smiling face with Huangfu Gong .It's so beautiful. So happy. It's enviable...

If you were still alive, then there would be no such person as Huangfu Jue in this world.

Second Master. Should I thank you?

"Brother, it's time to go." At this time, Jiang Yu, who followed Jiang Tao and the others to the gate of the cemetery, called out, bringing Jiang Ziling's thoughts back to the present.

"En." Jiang Ziling responded to Jiang Yu's side. Then he bowed deeply in front of Jiang Shaojie's grave. While praying silently, he finally turned around and walked towards the exit of the cemetery.

At this time, the sun was leaning in the air. It was very bright, but not dazzling. There was also a gentle breeze. It was a rare good weather in summer.

Jiang Tao and the others waited for Jiang Ziling to come over at the gate, and then went to the parking lot together. It was a rented car. The driver was waiting for them in the car.

"Brother, what did you say to the second master?" Jiang Ziling approached them. Jiang Yu broke away from Zeng Ailing's hand and ran to hold Jiang Ziling's hand.

"It's nothing." Jiang Ziling rubbed his little head. "Let's go. Let's go home. You still have to go to kindergarten."

"I really want my brother to go to kindergarten with me." Jiang Yu took Jiang Ziling's hand and bouncing towards the parking lot. The figures of the two didn't look like brothers at all.

Walking to the parking lot, Jiang Tao and the others who were walking in front seemed to have seen something, and suddenly stopped in their tracks. When Jiang Ziling and Jiang Yu walked up, Jiang Ziling was also stunned. Only Jiang Yu's reaction was the opposite of theirs.

The parking space where the Rolls Royce was parked when I first arrived has now been replaced by a black Ferrari. The familiar license plate number has to make people stunned.
