## Grandmother's Death Anniversary and Tomb Sweeping
We had two busy weekends in a row, due to Qingming Festival and my paternal grandmother's death anniversary.
Qingming Festival 2026 took place on April 5, but it coincided with my grandmother's death anniversary, so my father's side of the family decided to observe the death anniversary first, then on the next weekend, sweep the tombs of my great uncle and paternal grandparents per family tradition.
My parents and I set off on April 10, Friday morning, to my parents' hometown, and stayed at a homestay for one night, then we swept tombs on the next day. Like [last year's Qingming Festival](2025-04-06-my-2025-qingming.md), I did not join my parents and relatives to visit my great uncle's tomb, because the road at that graveyard was too difficult for me to traverse due to my [visual impairment](/topics/retinitis-pigmentosa/), but I joined them to visit my paternal grandparents' tomb.
After completing the tomb sweeping and having lunch with relatives, my parents and I returned home.
## Family Durian Plantation, Bak Baan and Her Children
When we travelled back to my parents' hometown on April 10, Friday, in preparation for tomb sweeping tomorrow, we visited our family's durian plantation and by extension, my uncle's dogs [Bak Baan](/topics/bak-baan-the-dog/) and her children.
This marked the second time I saw [Bak Baan's second litter of puppies](2026-02-20-bak-baan-puppies-2.md), and the first time my mother did so since she did not join us in our previous visit during Lunar New Year. I am glad my mother was finally able to witness the black-and-white two-toned puppy of Bak Baan that we called "dairy cow".
Unfortunately, just like Bak Baan lost two of her children from her first litter, Bak Baan lost another two children from her second litter — one of the new puppies died of blood loss after being attacked by another dog, and another was killed by a vehicle. Poor things...
On a more positive note, I managed to snap new photos of our family durian plantation and my uncle's dogs.

Aside from the coat colour, Musang King, who is about one year old at this point, looks a lot like his mum.

## 祖母的忌日和扫墓
由于清明节和我祖母的忌日,我们连续度过了两个忙碌的周末。
2026 年的清明节坐落于 4 月 5 日,但那天恰逢我祖母的忌日,所以父亲那边的亲戚决定先祭奠祖母,然后按照家族传统,在接下来的那个周末去扫墓,祭扫我的伯公以及祖父母的坟墓。
4 月 10 日星期五早上,我和父母动身前往父母的老家,在当地一家民宿住了一晚,第二天便去扫墓了。和[去年的清明节](2025-04-06-my-2025-qingming.md)一样,我没有和父母及亲戚们一起去扫我伯公的坟,因为受[视力障碍](/topics/shi4-wang3-mo2-se4-su4-bian4-xing4/)的影响,那家坟场的路对我来说太难走了, 但我还是和他们一起去了祖父母的坟墓。
扫完墓、和亲戚们共进午餐后,我和父母便回了家。
## 家族榴梿种植园、白板和她的孩子们
4 月 10 日星期五,我们回到父母的老家,为明天的扫墓做准备。途中,我们顺道去了家里的榴莲园,顺便也去看望了叔叔家的狗[白板](/topics/gou3-gou3-bai2-ban3/)和她的孩子们。
这是我第二次见到[白板的第二胎小狗们](2026-02-20-bak-baan-puppies-2.md),也是我母亲第一次见到它们,因为农历新年期间她没能参加我们的探访。我很高兴母亲终于能亲眼见到那只我们称之为“乳牛”的、白板那只黑白双色幼犬。
不幸的是,就像白板的第一胎失去了两只幼崽一样,她的第二胎又失去了两只幼崽——其中一只小狗被另一只狗攻击后因失血过多而死,另一只则被车辆撞死了。可怜的小家伙们……
值得高兴的是,我成功拍到了我们家族的榴梿园和叔叔的狗狗们的新照片。
