Qingming Festival rarely has sunny days, so Zhao Yong planned to finish sweeping the tomb in the morning and then take his wife and daughter for an outing in the surrounding suburbs.
Because both husband and wife are very busy at work, they rarely have the opportunity to take their daughter out to play like this.
I am very happy every year, my big eyes can't stop moving, and I am very interested in everything outside the city.
In the eyes of children, there are too many novel things in this world that they have not been exposed to. Even if they see a small flower on the roadside, they can stop and look at it for a long time.
Cars can only go as far as the foot of the mountain. There were many people visiting the tombs today, but not many people driving. Basically everyone took buses and special buses, and the parking lot was very ample.
Zhao Yong found a place with trees to park the car, turned around and went to the trunk to take out the things he wanted to pay homage to. When he turned around, he saw his daughter standing in front of the car door, staring at a small flower growing on the ground, motionless.
Li Manjun held her daughter's small basket of youth balls in one hand, closed the car door with the other, and reached out to hold her daughter. The little girl curiously pointed to the flowers on the ground and asked her in a sweet voice:
"Mom, what's your hair?"
Li Manjun glanced at it and said, "Little purple flower."
Zhao Yong could totally hear his wife's perfunctory tone. He looked at his daughter's expression, but the little girl nodded seriously, "It turns out you have purple hair, so I'll call you Xiao Ziba."
Seeing his daughter's innocent appearance, Zhao Yong suddenly wasn't so anxious to go up the mountain. He smiled at Li Manjun and said, "Let her see, it's still early."
Li Manjun laughed helplessly and couldn't bear to disturb her daughter's exploration of the world. She took out two youth groups, Zhao Yong took one, and leaned in front of the car to eat and wait.
After waiting for a long time, Nian Nian discovered that there was grass in front of her that she had never seen before. She ran over to take a look excitedly, and then the family of three set off towards the mountain.
It was a short journey that took more than ten minutes for others, but it took their family of three an hour to arrive.
Fortunately, because the flowers and plants along the way attracted all the attention of Nian Nian, she didn't even ask her parents to hold her on the way up the mountain. She walked up alone with her short legs.
.
When I came to the tomb of Zhao Yong's parents, Nian Nian seemed to understand. He stood obediently in front of the tomb and handed the papers to his parents.
Zhao Yong lit the incense, beckoned his daughter to come to him, and taught her to hold the incense to worship. The father and daughter burned the incense together.
After putting incense every year, I saw thin weeds in front of the tombstone. I lay on the ground and dug out the weeds with my little hands. I turned to my parents expectantly and said, "Pull the weeds for grandpa."
When Li Manjun saw the one-piece stockings that were all covered in dust, she took a deep breath and told herself not to be angry or not, as her child's filial piety must be taken care of.
Zhao Yong laughed out loud and patted his daughter's little head, "We are so filial every year, and we still know how to pull grass for grandpa. It's great."
Li Manjun forced out a gentle smile and reminded her daughter: "I didn't bring you a change of pantyhose today. If they get dirty, you can only wear them for one day."
Nian Nian was stunned with "Huh?". He lowered his head and looked at his socks. The white socks were full of grass clippings and dust. He quickly threw the grass out of his hands, bent down and patted his legs. He was so clumsy that he almost fell down.
Somersaulting on the spot.
Thanks to Zhao Yong's quick eyesight and quick hands, he quickly grabbed the straps of his daughter's overalls and lifted her up, so she was spared a beating from her mother.
"It's good to give her grandparents a big gift as soon as she comes." Li Manjun praised with a smile.
After all, they are mother and daughter. Every year, she can still tell whether her mother is telling the truth or speaking out of anger. She grins innocently at her and says, "Mom is the prettiest."
"What about dad?" Zhao Yong teased his daughter.
He never hesitates to praise him every year, "Dad is the most handsome!"
Zhao Yong was so happy that he took his daughter to pull some grass for his grandma.
The management of the public fundraising staff here is not good enough. Weeds grow quickly in the spring, and the grass in front of the tomb is not cleared. The relatives have to clean it up themselves.
She works hard every year. At this stage, what she likes most is helping her parents with work.
Li Manjun put away the fruits and green balls for worship, and glanced at her daughter. Her little hands were dirty, and her new clothes today were stained with grass juice. She didn't want to look at them at all.
Zhao Yong didn't realize it at all, and he and his daughter had a great time together.
What else could Li Manjun do? He couldn't hit her, so he could only let her continue to do it. Anyway, it was like this, so why not just let it go and have fun with it?
After the tomb was swept, she ate half of the Qingtuan dumplings with her grandparents every year, and skipped down the mountain with her parents, carrying her little basket.
There is a river near the public offering, with clear water and green mountains, which is very suitable for outings.
When they arrived at the place, Zhao Yong looked at the people fishing by the river and regretted: "If I had known, we would have brought fishing rods here, and I would fish and cook barbecue for you."
Li Manjun also felt that today was not fully prepared, "Next time we are free, let's have a picnic here. Bring a pot and rice, and cook for yourself."
When she was a child, she was envious of her classmates in other classes. The teacher would take them out for spring outings. The students would prepare their own things and go to the river or the beautiful mountains to have a picnic together.
Although I grew up and went camping with my colleagues, it never had the same taste as my childhood picnics.
The couple looked at each other and agreed to come here for a picnic next time and relax.
Today's main task is to visit the tomb, and the outing is just incidental. I'm not fully prepared, so just look at the scenery.
I haven’t seen fishing in years, and I have been staring at the uncle who was fishing. When I saw the uncle put away his pole, he picked up a fish, stood up, looked at the uncle’s fish, and then looked back at his parents. I couldn’t understand this.
What is the principle?
"Fish!" She excitedly pointed at the fishing uncle and asked her parents to look at it.
Zhao Yong nodded to Li Manjun, who was sitting by the river and didn't want to move, and took his daughter to watch his uncle fishing.
Nian Nian Ao Ao rushed over to her. The uncle saw that she looked very cute even with her pink face, so he took out the fishing bait to tease her.
But the little girl didn't know what fear was yet, so she really stretched out her little hand to catch the earthworm he handed over, and even ran back happily to show it to her mother.
Li Manjun was sitting on a stone by the river, covering the sun with his hands, admiring the white clouds, green mountains and green water in front of him, when suddenly a wriggling thing appeared in front of his eyes, which almost frightened him out of his mind.
Nian Nian seemed not to have expected her mother to react so violently. She was stunned for a moment, looking at her mother worriedly with an expression on her face as if she had done something wrong.
Li Manjun patted her chest and saw clearly the earthworm in her daughter's hand. She was amused by her own reaction.
Mom laughed, and Nian Nian also breathed a sigh of relief and started laughing.
Seeing this scene, the uncle laughed unkindly, turned to Zhao Yong who was standing behind him and said, "My daughter is very brave."
Zhao Yong looked proud, "That's right, even though she is only two and a half years old, she doesn't even feel embarrassed when she walks on stage."
Then he looked at Li Manjun who was amused by his own reaction, and he doted on his uncle regardless of life and death and said: "The main reason is that my wife teaches me well. My wife is very good."
