After meeting the New Year greeters, Lin Wanwan and Xiao Qingyu, who was dressed like a pink dumpling, had lunch together, played backgammon with them, and enjoyed some family time.
After Xiao Qingyu dozed off and lay down, Lin Wanwan kissed her gently on her pink face, and then started to sort out the gifts she would bring with her when she went away tomorrow.
Yes, the second day of the Lunar New Year is a good day to visit your maternal family. In ancient times, the mountains were long and the roads were long, and the carriages and horses were very slow. Once you visit relatives, it must take several months.
Therefore, Lin Wanwan had to bring a lot of things, including several boxes of clothes and gifts. In addition, there were also several boxes of little Qingyu's toys.
When going out this time, Huanong, Yunshang and Kunlun must be brought with them. There are only three people who are used to serving. If they don't bring them, they will be too small. I'm afraid they won't be able to integrate into the aristocratic family of the Tang Dynasty.
The ten children bought from Qiongzhou, as well as Sun Huiyao and his old mother, were left by Lin Wanwan to look after the family because of their age and language problems.
Lin Wanwan was not afraid of them evacuating her home. If Sun Chueyao could evacuate her home with only ten children and an old woman under the eyes of all the tough clan members in Linjiazhuang, then she would admit it.
Sun Huiyao was quite disappointed that he could not be with Lin Wanwan, but when he thought that he was entrusted with the important task of looking after the house, he felt that he could cheer up again.
The master still has so much trust in his abilities, and he will never let him down.
He had secretly made up his mind to teach the ten young servants and his old mother the basic Luang County dialect before Lin Wanwan returned home from Qiantang. In fact, he had already started doing this since he left Qiongzhou.
Already.
It's just that there are really not many people in the world with language talents like him and his daughter, and there is no rush.
His daughter Rongrong can now speak one or two simple sentences in Luan County dialect, and can also understand a lot. At least there is no big obstacle in communicating with her master Xiao Qingyu. This time, she is also the only one from Qiongzhou.
A person to follow to Qiantang.
Yun Shang was originally worried about Lin Wanwan leaving only Sun Chueyao and a group of slaves from Qiongzhou to look after the house, but when she heard that Rongrong would be brought with her, she felt relieved and happily helped Lin Wanwan organize her trip.
's luggage.
Among the three slaves Lin Wanwan first bought, Yunshang was the most knowledgeable, because she had been trained to be sold to a wealthy family as a girl.
Lin Wanwan is also quite satisfied with Yun Shang's ability. Although she has some petty thoughts and a little desire for power, overall, she is still a loyal servant and will definitely be snapped up in the modern housekeeping market.
The night of Yuanri passed peacefully, and Lin Wanwan even took the time to return to modern times.
In the past month, she had been feeling a little happy staying in Tang Dynasty, and she didn't really want to go back to modern times. If it weren't for learning to drive, selling seafood, and replenishing supplies, she could have stayed in Tang Dynasty.
After all, compared to the deserted suburban villa with only two portraits hanging on the wall, the seaside building in Datang is much warmer. There are three or five cousins there who fish for her seafood from time to time, and there are also soft and waxy people who are dedicated to her.
Love her little Qingyu.
In addition to the convenient environment and abundant supplies in modern times, it is really difficult to meet her needs in terms of spiritual life.
When Lin Wanwan left the Tang Dynasty, it was seven o'clock in the evening on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but in modern times, it is already five o'clock in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
The sun rises late in winter, and the sky is still deep black at five o'clock.
Lin Wanwan picked up the scriptures, incense and fruits prepared from the Tang Dynasty, opened the door of the small villa, put on a mask and took an online taxi, and went to the cemetery where her grandparents were buried to pay homage.
The online ride-hailing driver who was still busy with his life during the New Year was very talkative and tried to communicate with Lin Wanwan all the way. After finding that she was relatively cold, he started humming a song alone. It can be seen that even though he is celebrating the New Year, he still has to work, but he doesn't care at all.
Don't complain about life.
After getting off the bus, Lin Wanwan gave him a tip in addition to the fare. Quan was grateful to him for spreading happiness to her.
On the gray morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, not many people came to visit the tomb. The few people walking along the mountain path with Lin Wanwan were chatting and laughing, as if they were not sweeping the tomb but taking a spring outing. Only Lin Wanwan was silent.
The joys and sorrows of the world are not the same, she only thinks they are noisy.
After not climbing for too long, Lin Wanwan came to the tomb where her grandparents were buried halfway up the mountain. She found that the place was a bit overly fragrant and there were traces of burned paper. Who had come to worship earlier than her? It couldn't be someone from far away.
Could it be that my uncle's family in America is my uncle's family?
Thinking of her uncle, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but laugh.
The honest man who was extremely loving to his aunt during her lifetime lived a step-by-step life and handed over all his wages. After his aunt became ill, he also sought medical treatment for her in Haishi and Beijing hospitals with great friendship. At that time, he was even reluctant to leave her.
Spend more money for yourself to buy a fast food and just eat instant noodles.
This kind of good man who would definitely move China if he made the news, was introduced to a new wife less than a month after her aunt passed away.
It seems as if the love once was just a mirror image and a responsibility.
Lin Wanwan, who was in junior high school at the time, could not understand this kind of emotion at all.
Her aunt died the year before her grandmother left, and was one of the few elders who gave her love and warmth during her childhood.
Since the death of my aunt, my uncle has had little contact with my grandparents. Even at my grandfather's funeral, the other party just bowed hastily like a distant relative.
Therefore, coming to worship silently early in the morning is really not like what the ungrateful uncle would do without his aunt as a bridge. Who could it be? Could it be his cousin?
While Lin Wanwan was thinking, she put down the fruits in the bamboo basket, lit some incense, sat on the marble in front of the tombstone, quietly looked at the night, recalled every bit of her grandparents' life, and waited for the incense to burn out.
If she could choose, the time she most wanted to travel back to was the year when her parents had an accident. At that time, she had a father and a mother, a grandfather and a grandmother, and she was a little princess surrounded by love.
Time has passed, and she can't even remember what her parents looked like now, and the black and white photos they left behind have long been faded by time. When she lost them, Lin Wanwan was too young to understand the meaning of death. Wait until she understands
At that time, I couldn’t remember anything about them.
My grandparents' home and my grandparents' home were not in the same city. Ever since Lin Wanwan lost her parents, the two families had directly cut off contact.
Lin Wanwan was never brought to visit her parents' graves by her grandparents. She only worshiped incense in front of the table made by her grandparents on the days of their life and death sacrifices.
She still doesn't know where her parents are buried.
