The next day, Ye Tianxin and her grandma took out some tools from the storage room and went to the Ye family's old cemetery.
Cremation was not popular back then.
People in Jiameng town were buried in the ground after they died.
Ye Tianxin's grandfather and other relatives of the Ye's family were all buried there.
The triangular graves were next to each other. They were covered with weeds and brambles.
Ye Tianxin took a sickle and chopped down the dead branches and brambles that grew on the graves.
She rarely did such work; she didn't even hold the knife correctly.
She didn't cut much, but she made a blister on the palm of her hand.
"Let me do it."
Grandma took the knife from Ye Tianxin's hand and cut the dead branches quickly.
Grandma did all these things alone before.
