Chapter 260: Grandma in the Country
One doesn't want to let go, and the other is reluctant to leave.
Pei Muhang stayed directly at Sang's house until the afternoon of the next day, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, he was going to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, and if he didn't go back, he couldn't say it, and Sang Guiyu had to endure the pain and drive people away.
She thought she would be depressed for a while, but when she saw the table full of good food, she forgot about him.
The mother and daughter couldn't stay up late, and they didn't have the habit of keeping the New Year, they just ate a meal longer than before, thinking that Sang Guiyu had a good home, and he paid his salary and bonus, and Sang's mother was interested, and the wine was moved out.
Sang Guiyu took the milk and toasted to her, talking and laughing, and neither of them felt cold.
The next day, Sang Guiyu and the others carried a bunch of things to their grandmother's house in the countryside, who was already in her eighties, with white hair and a slumped back, knowing that they were coming back, she went to the intersection early to pick up people.
As soon as Sang Mu saw her short figure, with the support of her eldest brother, she trembled, and instantly burst into tears, she had never enjoyed any blessings in her life, and she had to worry about her old mother, which was really unfilial. Sang Guiyu saw his mother's sad expression, smiled knowingly, and patted her shoulder encouragingly.
Sang Mu glanced at her, collected her emotions, and strode forward to hug her rickety body.
As hot as the body temperature in memory, ironing her tired heart.
No matter how old a person is, he is just a child in front of his mother.
The group returned to the old house, the old house was still the same as before, there were several repaired places on the walls, painted with new paint, and it looked more obvious on the gray and yellow background.
Grandma's bed was an old-fashioned shelf bed, with pillars and a roof, and a fence around it, each of which was carved with delicate patterns, inlaid with several ink paintings, landscapes, flowers and birds, and a lion cub carved on each side, and the wood was all painted with black lacquer, which glowed softly after years of rubbing.
Sang Guiyu looked at this familiar bed and thought of reading when he was a child, and went to his grandmother's house on weekends to sleep with her.
The elders sat around and chatted about their parents' shortcomings, Sang Guiyu sat on the side of the bed and listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, touching the well-made little lion head, and suddenly wanted to share it with others, so he took a selfie photo and sent it to Pei Muhang, excitedly talking to him about the past.
At this time, Pei Muhang was expressionless with his family, and he didn't even pay attention to his grandfather's call, and his abnormality naturally attracted the attention of the whole family.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the messages of various friends and colleagues congratulating the New Year rang non-stop early in the morning, and he was annoyed, and he wanted to leave his mobile phone in the room without bringing it out, and he didn't want to miss her call.
But what time is it now, and the people who can't hit the eight poles have sent blessings, but the woman didn't have a single message, so the Pei family found that every time he looked at his mobile phone, his face darkened by one degree.
Everybody wants to know why.
Father Pei glanced at him and didn't say anything, but that look had already explained everything.
If you can't catch up with your wife, you can only blame yourself for not being capable, and you deserve to be single.
During the Chinese New Year, Pei Muqi didn't plan to deliberately stimulate this younger brother, but she and Lu Feng were just silent, and they looked sweet and greasy, which made people unhappy.
Pei Muhang lifted his eyelids, just in time to see Pei's mother feeding Pei's father fruit, and when his eyes turned around, he saw Pei Muqi and Qiye leaning on Lu Feng's shoulders left and right, and his face became heavier in an instant, just when the Pei family was guessing when he was going to break out, the mobile phone he put on the coffee table lit up, and then flashed several times in a row.
It's just that he seems to be wandering, his eyes fall on the phone, but he doesn't make any movement.
Qi Ye turned his head to look at the lonely uncle on the single sofa, and felt that he was very pitiful, he got off Lu Feng, walked to the coffee table, stared at the mobile phone screen for a while, and suddenly shouted, "It's aunt!"
Pei Muhang heard that it was Sang Guiyu who immediately went to get his mobile phone, and sat back before his butt left the sofa, cocking Erlang's legs, his expression was faint, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, as if anyone's information didn't matter, and his behavior just now was just to change his posture to a more comfortable position.
Obviously I have been waiting for my aunt's call, why don't you read it now, Qi Ye didn't understand the mind of adults, and looked at Pei Muqi suspiciously, Pei Muqi smiled softly at him.
The mobile phone flashed a few times, and soon stopped, Pei Muhang was trying to find a reason to leave the living room, the phone rang again, it was a video call, he hadn't moved yet, and the nearest Qi Ye had already pressed the answer button.
"Auntie, Happy New Year!" Qi Ye said excitedly as he picked up his phone.
Sang Guiyu didn't expect that it was Qiye who answered the phone, he was stunned for a moment, and soon thought that the family was together for the New Year, maybe he was busy with something, and it was normal for people to help answer the phone, so he chatted with him.
She originally wanted to find someone to share the joy, not Pei Muhang, the father is not bad, and I miss him very much if I haven't seen him for a long time, chatting and chatting Sang Guiyu told him about life in the countryside, about when she was a child, she went to the field ditch to fish for lobsters, and told the interesting story that there would be crabs when the stones were turned over by the stream.
Qi Ye has never experienced such a life, everything is strange and new to him, listening to it with relish, and from time to time he makes a sound of surprise, so the audience makes Sang Guiyu speak more energetically.
She pointed her mobile phone at the shelf bed, the old house with carved beams, the stone-paved path, the water press, the patio...... Let Qi Ye see these things, the Pei family found it interesting, so they leaned over to watch together, Pei Muhang didn't join in the fun, but he was so attentive that he clearly wanted to hear it clearly.
Sang Guiyu introduced the inside and outside of the house and walked all the way out, the grass and trees in the wilderness in winter withered, leaving only the dried stems and leaves, bleak and lonely.
She introduced as she walked, and along the way, she would meet all kinds of relatives she didn't know, and the Pei family listened to her call her third uncle for a while, and what was Yan Ling's sister-in-law for a while.
There are really a lot of relatives.
A person in a village, delving into the eighteenth generation of ancestors is always a relative, here she has a grandfather, as well as a grandfather, a third grandfather, they naturally have all kinds of uncles and aunts, and then there are all kinds of brothers, sisters, younger brothers and sisters, and each of them formed a family, gave birth to children, anyway, there is a large group of people.
The countryside likes to chat, the family knows everything, almost the whole village knows the experience of Sang's mother being abandoned by her husband, and she is an only daughter, naturally more famous than ordinary girls, those aunts and sisters-in-law or something, she can't recognize her, but they care about her very much, every year when they come back, they have to ask her if she has talked about friends and whether they are married, and when she sees that she has no object, she says that she wants to introduce, and this year is no exception.
Then the Pei family heard an aunt's voice saying that the nephew is so good, he has a car and a house in the city, etc., do you want to meet and be friends. Sang Guiyu couldn't stand this enthusiasm the most, and made an excuse to slip away after saying a few words.
Pei Muhang was depressed when he heard that someone had introduced someone to Sang Guiyu.
Wouldn't this woman say that she had a husband?
After chatting for a long time, Sang Guiyu didn't see Pei Muhang appear, and at this time, it happened that Sang's mother called for dinner, so she ended the video call.
At the end of the call, Pei Muhang thought that the few people surrounding his mobile phone would automatically disperse, but he didn't expect that they were still looking at him with strange expressions.
"What's wrong?" Pei Muhang raised his eyebrows.
"There's a man ......," Pei Mu covered her mouth and didn't know how to explain.
"Men?"
"A man just hugged his aunt. "Master Qi is telling the truth.
"Well, I'm still a handsome guy, it seems that my brother and sister are doing well. Pei Muqi praised other men for being handsome, but Lu Feng was not happy, so he broke her head and kissed her fiercely.
Pei Muhang was too lazy to look at their husband and wife, and picked up his mobile phone to see who the man was, and the video had already ended. He called over and asked her where she was doing, as if he were interrogating a prisoner.
Sang Guiyu knew that he was sullen about the New Year's Eve separation, and he didn't care at all about his indifferent and stern tone, and asked him with a smile if he wanted her, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he confessed directly.
"I miss you so much, I think about it during the day, and I think about it at night, what should I do?" she looked annoyed and helpless, causing Sang Mu to roll her eyes.
Pei Muhang's face became clear at a speed visible to the naked eye, but he was still silent.
Seeing that he just listened and didn't speak, the Pei family had a common idea in their hearts.
Obviously happy to death, pretending to be cold.
Sang Guiyu gossiped and told him about the complicated relationship in the family, before Pei Muhang opened his mouth to ask who the man was, Sang Guiyu mentioned him, and the moment the video was turned off, she saw Qiye's surprised expression, worried that their family would misunderstand, and deliberately said it.
The eldest son of the third uncle is not only handsome, but also very talented, and he can be introduced to him when he has the opportunity in the future.
Pei Muhang didn't have much interest in those people, he just liked her chattering in his ear, listening with great interest, and listening to her say what she was going to do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, none of so many activities had anything to do with him, and after a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask her when she planned to come back.
Sang Guiyu was hesitant, and it was hard to say that he was a little happy.
"I'll be back soon. That's all she can say.
"When?" said someone's voice visibly impatient.
"What?"
"I'll pick you up. ”
"It's okay, you're busy, my mother and I will go back by ourselves. ”
“……”
"Good. ”
They don't often go back to the countryside, and when they come back, they naturally have to take care of their immediate relatives, Sang Guiyu followed her mother everywhere to visit relatives, once went shopping with her cousin and her boyfriend, and saw her cousin buying clothes for her boyfriend, and she felt very sweet while comparing with her boyfriend.
She followed behind to give advice, and suddenly her eyes were attracted by a white woolen sweater on the model, and she felt that she liked it very much, and she didn't know what gift to bring to Pei Muhang after the year, so she bought it.
In the next few days, Pei Muhang and Sang Guiyu had many consultations on which day of return, if it weren't for Sang Guiyu's refusal to tell his specific whereabouts when he went to the countryside, Pei Muhang would have robbed people.
He has never had such a boring and long New Year, Xiaoyu is not around, he is like a robot without electricity, he has no interest in going to play with friends, and his parents are not involved in visiting relatives and friends at all.
Until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he sat on the sofa in a daze, and was reminded by his grandfather of a particularly cool new dress, and thought that he should buy clothes for the baby. Although it is still early, prepare in advance so that you will not be in a hurry.
So a bored man suddenly came to his senses, drove out in the morning, and did not return until the evening.
Sang Guiyu could feel his increasingly depressed mood, and said that he wanted to play for a few more days, and he still discussed with his mother to leave on the afternoon of the sixth day of the new year.
In the past few years, she has been busy working, and Sang's mother has not returned to the countryside much, if she can, she also wants to accompany her old mother more, but she feels sorry for the opening red envelope after the New Year, so Sang Guiyu agreed to mention it.
She was about to call Pei Muhang to tell her about going back, when she suddenly saw her grandmother pulling her mother and hurriedly walking outside, looking very anxious.
Sang Guiyu trotted over, only to know that his grandmother was going to ask an old farmer to buy pigeons.
Now people don't worry about food and clothing, always think about health and ecology when buying food, no pesticide additives or anything, the old farmer has done this business all his life, and the feed used to raise pigeons is home-grown cereals, not to mention some strange potions.
In the same village, knowing the details, naturally all families are scrambling to buy it, and if the hands and feet are slow, it will be gone.
Sang Guiyu stood on the periphery, watching her grandmother huddle in the middle of a group of mothers-in-law, picking around the two pigeon cages of the old farmer.
A fat aunt suddenly stretched out a big arm for some reason and pushed it, so startled that she immediately stepped forward, worried that her grandmother was pushed, and unexpectedly her grandmother was not only not affected at all, but also carried a pigeon leg and turned around to lift the pigeon to her mother.
Her hand bones are very long, extremely disproportionate to her figure, there is no flesh, it is completely skinny, the bulging green tendons are twisted and intertwined, it seems to be old and weak, only those close to her know what a pair of warm and powerful hands.
The white hair was a little messy by the cold wind, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face, and his cloudy eyes were full of pride, as if he had picked the best pigeon in the world and was showing off to his daughter.
There is nothing more touching in the world than mother's love.
Sang Guiyu saw a mist in front of him, and he saw two smiling faces looking at each other in a blur, knowing that his mood was a little out of place, he immediately turned around and left.
She decided not to leave tomorrow.
