In the cold wind, Zhao Yang and Lin Xueqi stood quietly in front of a tombstone.//Visit and download the txt novel //*.*
"Zhao Yang, is this grandpa?" Lin Xueqi asked softly. There was a small black and white photo embedded on the tombstone.
"Yes!" Zhao Yang nodded, and then silently took out various sacrifices from the bag on the side and placed them one by one in front of the tombstone.
Lin Xueqi didn't say anything anymore, and went forward to help Zhao Yang take out the sacrifices and put them away.
'Grandpa, Xiao Yang came to see you. You can't blame Xiao Yang for not coming for so long...'
After placing all the sacrifices, Zhao Yang squatted in front of the tombstone and silently looked at the picture of his grandfather on the tombstone, his expression full of longing.
Lin Xueqi stood aside with Zhao Yang, quietly, without disturbing Zhao Yang...
The two of them had been staying in the cemetery for more than two hours. Zhao Yang finally stood up, took a deep breath, and said to Lin Xueqi beside him: "Okay, Xueqi, let's go back."
"Yes!" Lin Xueqi nodded silently and followed Zhao Yang out of the cemetery.
After returning home, Zhao Yang seemed to be in a slightly better mood, not as lonely and melancholy as he had been a few days ago.
Lin Xueqi thought about the day Zhao Yang said that he and his grandfather would go shopping for New Year's goods every New Year. Seeing that New Year's Eve would be here in two days, Lin Xueqi took Zhao Yang to the market to buy New Year's goods together.
Although there are only two of them at home, I'm afraid no one will come to visit us during the New Year. However, buying some New Year's goods and decorating the house, pasting couplets and so on, is still a bit of a New Year experience, isn't it? It won't be too big for the New Year.
It seemed so deserted.
"Come on, Zhao Yang, take this bacon and sausage. I'll go over there and look for some couplets!" Lin Xueqi handed Zhao Yang the large bag of bacon and sausage she was holding, and was about to run to the shop selling couplets on the other side.
I'll buy some couplets somewhere and take them back.
At this moment, Zhao Yang was carrying a lot of big and small bags in his hands. He even had two bags hanging around his neck.
"Xueqi, there's no need to buy the couplets. You can just buy me a few large pieces of red paper for writing couplets. I can just go back and write them by myself. I'll be fine if I have nothing to do." Zhao Yang shouted hurriedly.
Lin Xueqi.
Hearing Zhao Yang say that he wanted to write couplets by himself, Lin Xueqi hurriedly turned around and replied cheerfully: "Okay! Then I will buy you red paper for writing couplets! By the way, how many pieces do you want to buy?"
Zhao Yang thought for a moment and said, "Just two. Two should be enough!"
"Well, okay! Then I'll go buy it now. Just wait for me here for a while!" Lin Xueqi said and ran to buy red paper.
After a while, Lin Xueqi came back with two rolled red papers in her hand. "Okay, let's see if there is anything else we want to buy? If there is nothing left, let's go back!"
Zhao Yang looked at the things in his hands, couldn't help but smile, and said: "We still need fireworks and firecrackers. Haha! But those things are sold at the gate of the community. Just buy them when you go back."
Although fireworks and firecrackers are now banned in many big cities, the community where Zhao Yang's family is located is not in the city center, so there is not much control over this here.
"Okay! Let's go back now!" Lin Xueqi held the roll of red paper in one hand, jumped up to Zhao Yang, looked at the pile of things on Zhao Yang's hand, and couldn't help but said: "Here, I'll help you get it
Some."
As he spoke, he reached out and took several bags of things from Zhao Yang's hand.
Two days later, New Year's Eve finally arrived. Early in the morning, Zhao Yang and Lin Xueqi got up and cleaned the house inside and out. They wiped tables, chairs, coffee tables, cabinets and other things everywhere twice and made them clean.
of.
Then Lin Xueqi helped Zhao Yang cut out the red paper he bought that day, and then stood aside and watched Zhao Yang write the couplet.
This couplet only needs to be posted on the door, but not inside the home. At most, the word "福" is posted on the door. So Zhao Yang doesn't need to write much.
As for brush calligraphy, Zhao Yang has a very deep foundation. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a 'master'. After all, he has experienced more than five hundred years in the 'Diyuan Xianlu', and in his spare time of practice, he basically relies on
'Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting' will help you relax.
Next to her, Lin Xueqi looked at the powerful characters written by Zhao Yang on the couplets. She couldn't help showing a look of wonder, and couldn't help but praise: "Zhao Yang, I didn't expect that your calligraphy is so good! It feels better than what I have practiced before.
The teachers who taught me calligraphy were much better!"
Lin Xueqi had also practiced calligraphy for a period of time before, but her skills were naturally far from comparable to Zhao Yang's. However, her eyesight was somewhat limited, and it was obvious that Zhao Yang's calligraphy skills were very deep.
Zhao Yang couldn't help but turn his head and glance at her after hearing this, and said with a smile: "It's not bad. I haven't written for a while, so it's a little bit unfamiliar."
"Come on, why don't you write some big characters too?" Zhao Yang smiled and handed the brush in his hand to Lin Xueqi.
Zhao Yang has already written a pair of couplets to be posted. There is still a lot of red paper left. Anyway, I have some free time now, so I might as well write and relax.
Lin Xueqi bit her lower lip lightly and said, "Okay. But what I wrote is not as good as yours, so don't laugh at me!"
Zhao Yang nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, I promise not to laugh at you. Unless you write like an earthworm, haha!"
"Damn it, you write like an earthworm! At least I learned calligraphy for two years before. Even if I'm not as good as you, I can barely stand up to people!"
As she spoke, Lin Xueqi took the brush from Zhao Yang, then dipped it in ink on the inkstone on the side, "What should I write?"
Lin Xueqi seemed to be muttering to herself, tilting her head and thinking for a while. When she caught a glimpse of the couplet that Zhao Yang had written aside, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Yes! Hey, I'll just copy the couplet you wrote.
!”
After saying that, Lin Xueqi immediately started writing on the red paper that Zhao Yang had spread out for her...
Zhao Yang was watching from the side and when he saw the words written by Lin Xueqi, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Not bad, not bad! It seems that you still have some skills!"
Lin Xueqi's handwriting is naturally not as majestic and powerful as Zhao Yang's. It looks quite graceful and elegant. You can tell it is a girl's handwriting at a glance.
Hearing Zhao Yang's praise, Lin Xueqi couldn't help but smile, squinted her eyes, curled her lips and hummed arrogantly: "Of course! I don't care who this girl is. Although she is not as good as you, she can still
Not bad!"
The two of them took turns writing calligraphy while playing around, and they stopped only after using up all the paper on the table.
"Okay, I'll go and post this couplet on the door first. You can clean up the table!" Zhao Yang said.
"Yeah! Leave it to me." Lin Xueqi nodded hurriedly and started to pack away the brushes, inkstones, and pieces of paper on the table.
Zhao Yang took the couplet he had written at the beginning and moved a chair to the door to post it.
After a while, Zhao Yang posted the couplet and looked in the hallway at the door. When he saw that it was not crooked, he clapped his hands with satisfaction and moved the chair back into the house.
As soon as he put down his chair, Zhao Yang heard a cell phone ringing, but it wasn't his cell phone ringing. It was Lin Xueqi's.
"Xueqi, your phone is ringing." Zhao Yang shouted to Lin Xueqi who was still clearing the table over there.
"Oh, oh. Okay!" Lin Xueqi hurriedly responded, hurriedly picked up the phone on the coffee table in the living room, looked at it, and then answered the call.
"Hey, Auntie, what do you want from me?" Lin Xueqi said after answering the phone.
Immediately, a woman's voice came from the phone, "What's the matter? You girl, you didn't go home during the winter vacation and you didn't even tell your aunt. Your mother called me just now to tell me that you didn't go back. Let me be here
Only after taking care of you will I realize that you are still in City H!."
When Lin Xueqi saw Zhao Yang looking at her, she couldn't help but secretly stick out her tongue, and quickly said to the phone with a smile: "Hey, aunt. Well, aren't they afraid of disturbing you and uncle? Besides, I am so old. I
You can take care of yourself!"
"You still said! You don't go back for the Chinese New Year. You haven't come over to my aunt to have fun after such a long holiday. You don't even have a phone call. Stop playing tricks with your aunt. It's New Year's Eve. Come over to my aunt for a New Year's Eve dinner. This year's New Year's Eve
I just stayed with my aunt."
"Uh... Aunt, please don't do it! Well, I have a friend here too. I have already told my friend that I will spend this New Year with them. If I go to your place, I will leave you alone.
There are so many bad people." Lin Xueqi said quickly.
"Friends? Male or female? If you have friends there, ask your friends to come over to my aunt's place. Is it possible that my aunt still needs a pair of bowls and chopsticks? Well, it's such a cold weather. I'll ask your uncle to do it later.
I’ll just drive over and pick you up, saving you the trouble of taking a ride here!”
Lin Xueqi's aunt couldn't help but explain on the phone.
When Lin Xueqi heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yang, and said to the phone with a bitter look on her face: "Aunt, it's not possible. My friend is too embarrassed to go. Besides, it's hard to bother my uncle to come all the way here.
Where to pick us up."
"Sorry? What's the point of being embarrassed? Just treat it like your own family. You girl, stop arguing with your aunt. It's settled. I'll ask your uncle to pick you up later. By the way,
You still live in the same place, right?"
"Auntie, please wait for a while, I will get something to tell you."
After saying that, Lin Xueqi quickly took the phone away from her face, looked at Zhao Yang for help and said, "What should I do? My aunt insists that I go to her place to celebrate the New Year!"
The sound of Lin Xueqi's cell phone was quite loud just now, and Zhao Yang was standing nearby and basically heard it.
Seeing Lin Xueqi asking for help, Zhao Yang couldn't help but shrugged and said, "You can figure it out yourself, or you can just go to your aunt's place to celebrate the New Year. I can just spend it at home."
As soon as Zhao Yang said the words, Lin Xueqi immediately shouted: "No! I promised to celebrate the New Year with you. I don't want to leave you here alone. Otherwise, you really want to go with me."
Is it good over there with my aunt?"
Zhao Yang looked at the room, shook his head and said, "No, today is New Year's Eve, I want to stay at home."
Zhao Yang didn't say much, but Lin Xueqi guessed what Zhao Yang meant by looking at his expression. Apparently he was thinking about the past New Year celebrations with his grandfather at this home, so he didn't want to go anywhere else.
