After eating dumplings, Li Hui and Cheng Xue took Pang Lao on their arms and took a walk in the yard.
The courtyard with lanterns lit was particularly atmospheric. Looking at Li Tian, Li Huai and the others running around, Mr. Pang kept smiling and nodding.
"Seeing the children like this makes me feel really comfortable. Have you all prepared your things? How many carriages do you need?"
Originally, the old man didn't care about these things, but he was about to leave, so he had to ask.
"Five vehicles are planned." Cheng Xue replied, "Do you have anything else that needs to be sent over in advance?"
The old man smiled and shook his head, "Qinglin took away all the things in my city when he left. I didn't give anything in advance, just some clothes and supplies. I have to take them with me on the road."
"What about Wen Tian? Is there anything you want to send away first?"
"No." Wen Tian replied briefly.
This is Cheng Xue. If it were Li Hui, he would ignore it.
After walking half a circle in the courtyard, they felt bored. Li Hui suggested going out for a walk. Mr. Pang nodded with interest and agreed. Cheng Xue did not let Li Huai go. After all, the child was too young and needed to sleep. Li Huai
Seeing this, Yue picked up her younger brother and went back to the room. Yan Yixin simply stayed at home and did not go out.
Wen Tian led Li Heng out, while Pang Yao and Li Tian held hands and followed behind with skipping steps.
Under the light of the lantern, Mr. Pang looked at his granddaughter playing carefree and raised the corners of his mouth.
To be honest, the time they came to Wanghe Village was the most comfortable time for them. Feeling the care of the young people on both sides, he had the illusion that they were his sons and daughters-in-law. Jiangnan
That person is an imposter.
After leaving the yard, the six big red lanterns in the workshop came into view. Then you can see the couplets posted on the door, as well as the word "Fu", which were written by Pang Lao, and were signed with a seal. Not far away, there was a sound.
The sound of children laughing was not from Li Heng, Pang Yao and the others, but from other children in the village.
During the Chinese New Year, children are the most relaxed. They can play as they want without adults caring.
I walked along the main road in the village and met many villagers. They didn't dare to rest after eating dumplings, so they went out for a walk to eat.
Mr. Pang is like an old farm man who can chat with anyone he catches.
It's not really cold tonight. It looks like it's going to snow, but I don't know what day it will be.
After walking around for two times, Cheng Xue saw that the old man was slightly out of breath and suggested:
"Mr. Pang, let's go back and have a rest. Wen Tian and the others have to wait."
"Okay, okay." Pang Lao agreed, obviously tired.
On the way back, the old man grabbed one in each hand and said softly:
"Let Qing Lin take all the things in my house in Fucheng to the capital and put them in the house I rented for you. I trust you and your wife, so I ask you to help keep those things for Sister Yao and don't let others know.
Including her father. When he arrives in Fucheng on the sixth day of the lunar month, I will rename the house to Sister Yao..."
The old man had not mentioned these words for a long time, but he did not expect to mention them again during the Chinese New Year. Cheng Xue tried to interrupt several times, but the old man shook his head to stop him. Listening to his various worries, he said that he felt sorry for all the parents in the world.
, in fact, it is quite touching that the grandfather misses his granddaughter.
Seeing him reminded her of her grandfather. When he died, the old man's eyes were fixed on her. He obviously had a lot to say, but his body was not up to par. Now I see things from the perspective of a bystander, and I can take care of things myself.
I don’t know if my eldest granddaughter will have the chance to see her get married and have children, so I will indeed have worries and regrets.
"...Now the old man has left all the people and things to you two. I have also written to Sister Yao's father about the baby's marriage. Although there is no reply, I will definitely know about it after the year. Still the same sentence
So, no matter what time, you must stick to this marriage."
Cheng Xue clenched the key in her hand, nodded heavily and said:
"Don't worry, no matter what happens, Yaoyao will be the eldest daughter-in-law in the family, unless Yaoyao doesn't want to do it herself."
"How could she not want to?" Pang Lao joked with a smile.
In the past, my granddaughter’s nühong would either embroider purses for him or make handkerchiefs for his wife. But now, her nuns would either embroider purses for Li Heng or sew sleeves for Li Heng. I don’t know what’s going on with that boy, the robe,
Sleeves are always bad.
When he returned to the house while talking, Mr. Pang did not let the couple see him off, but walked to Songhe Hall by himself. Yan Yixin and Li Heng lived there. Li Hui was sure that Yan Yixin took the old man back to the house.
Then I returned to the main hospital with confidence.
When I saw the wooden boxes on the ground one by one, I acted as if I hadn't seen them. I walked to the kang and sat down, picking up the silver awl and playing with the wick.
Cheng Xue put away the key given by Mr. Pang and said:
"Why don't you ask me what I brought? How many boxes are there?"
"Why are you asking?" Li Hui disagreed, "You are in charge anyway, I will use whatever you bring, so I just worry about it."
He would help share the burden, but he never asked if she wanted to take something with her.
Although the house and land in the family are all in his name, the wealth and money in the family are all in her hands. He is a pauper.
His grandfather and father had taught him since he was a child that it was a particularly honorable thing for a man to reach out to his wife to ask for money. Later, he graduated and joined the company. He has been too busy in the army to find a girlfriend. Now that he finally has one, he is the elder.
We will carry out our instructions to the end and never carry money on us unless necessary.
Seeing him like this, Cheng Xue approached him with interest and asked:
"You have no intention of hiding your private money? Why?"
"Why do you want to hide it?" Li Hui asked, pinching her cheek lightly and said, "If I want to buy something, I just tell you. It's not like you won't buy it for me. Besides, hiding something can affect your relationship. It took a lot of effort to get it.
I can't commit suicide by myself."
"Oh, can't you tell, you have a strong desire to survive?"
"That's a must." Li Hui pulled the person into his arms, hugged him gently and said, "Our family has no other advantages, but the desire to survive is timely and strong. The journey to Beijing should be very difficult. If you want to
If you feel tired or uncomfortable, remember to tell me."
"Okay." Cheng Xue responded and leaned on his shoulder.
The candle burned the wax oil and made a "crackling" sound. Under the candlelight, the shadows of the two were particularly warm. Cheng Xue played with his palm and touched the callus on his index finger. It can be imagined that he usually has
Practice calligraphy more often.
The voices of Li Heng, Pang Yao, and Li Tian came from the yard, and the three children also came back. It sounded like there were only three of them, and Wen Tian did not come back.
"Wen Tian will also follow us when we go to Beijing this time, right?"
"He lost himself to me for five years. He has to leave even if he doesn't want to."
After Li Hui finished speaking, he took advantage of the situation and held her hand. He was in a good mood and told her interesting stories about the days when he went south. After he came back, he talked a lot, but then he was busy in class, reading, and practicing calligraphy. They hadn't talked like this for a long time.
