In the past seven or eight years, Xiaoxiao has come back several times, and each time he always comes to visit Wenzhu and Dong Mei with expensive gifts at the first time, such as clothing, cosmetics, toys, mobile phones and other high-end electronic products. They can't afford to pay it back, so they can only increase the number of visits to Ms. Fang to make up for it, and give her a small dividend at the end of the year.

Xiaoxiao has changed every time she comes back, from image to knowledge, and more European and American style. Usually there are correspondence, Wenzhu avoids suspicion, most of them have Dong Mei to catch the pen, and she does not shirk. Therefore, it is rare to meet, and the two of them have a good time, as if Wenzhu is redundant. Dong Mei taught Tianyu to call her little aunt, she didn't say a word and shook her head.

"Why don't you call Auntie? I have chocolates here, do you want to?" teased her.

"Yes. But you're not like an aunt. ”

"What does that look like?"

"Like a sister. ”

Although he is a generation, he is so happy that his face is like a cherry blossom, and he walks around the street with Tianyu in his arms. She liked this elf very much, and once teased her, saying, "Is it okay for my sister to take you to the United States?"

"Don't. ”

Why?"

"We are head-up, they are down, and it is not convenient to walk. ”

Xiao Xiao laughed so much that he almost found his teeth all over the ground, the other side of the United States in China, this side is headed up, and that side is bound to be head down. The child's logical reasoning is simple and direct, but she does not know that due to the gravitational pull of the center of the earth, the human head is always above the ground, facing the sky.

Tian Yu looked at her smiling face with tears, touched her forehead, and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm happy!"

"How can there be tears when I am happy? I only have tears when I am sick. ”

It's not unreasonable for an adult to fight a child, and sometimes she will ask you so much that she has nothing to say. Xiaoxiao borrowed it to buy her a rock sugar gourd.

There are a lot of interesting things about Tianyu's innocence, she will say that Dong Mei's double eyelids are double eyelids, and the sound of "skin" is not accurate, it sounds no different from "fart", Dong Mei was puzzled for a while, and then she woke up to realize that Tianyu was talking about double eyelids.

She would say that the fly was killed by the baby, but in fact, the fly had been there for several days, and she only touched it occasionally, and then went to ask her grandfather for credit. Wen Changfa raised his hand happily and flashed his waist.

She will test your arm to see if it is disjointed and ask you to lift it with a thread. (When she dislocated her arm when she was three years old, doctors told her to do it, and she remembered.) Wen Zhu pretended that she couldn't lift it for a while, and she would gently shake it for you with her hand, press it hard like a doctor, and then tell you to lift it.

If Wenzhu pretended to raise it, she waved her hand and said, "Go to work, I don't see where my mother is busy." What kind of illness is pretending!" made Wen Zhu and Dong Mei lean forward and lean back, I don't know how happy they are, Tianyu is the pistachio of the family.

Wen Hui worked in the royal real estate for more than three years, and resigned resolutely at the end of 2001.

Wen Zhu was very annoyed when he found out, and stood by the Wen Dong River and asked him: "You did a good job, why don't you do it?" Mr. Yu treats you well, and the treatment is better than mine. Wen Hui's annual salary at that time was 100,000 yuan, which was quite amazing for a migrant worker.

Wen Hui played with a small pebble in the palm of his hand, looked at Hexin and said: "Mr. Yu treats me well, mainly because of your face, I don't want to live in your shadow all the time, this is one of them." The second is that I have no play with Xiaoxiao at all, but the gap is getting farther and farther, she is studying for a doctorate, and I am rushing to make a living. It's better to break this thought early-"

As he spoke, he threw the stone in his hand into the river fiercely, splashing small droplets, Wen Donghe is like a mother, and can tolerate everything.

In fact, there is no beginning, and there is no end, but the love of youth is not as wonderful as imagined. The third is that I am not interested in real estate, my major is mold machinery, I have accumulated some money in recent years, and I want to start my own business. The most important thing is that there is a female classmate named Wu Yang in Wuxi who has been waiting for me for three years. ”

Wen Zhu saw that what he said was reasonable, clear, and unreasonable. His maturity makes Wenzhu happy, and if he wants to start a business, let him go. It's a man, and he always has to fly solo when he grows up. What's more, there is still love waiting over there, Wen Zhu patted Wen Hui's shoulder and gave him a supportive look. Mr. Yu did not treat him badly, and gave him a year's salary for one and a half years.

At the beginning of 2002, Wen Hui and Wu Yang set up a small mold machinery processing factory in Wuxi, Wen Zhu and Dong Mei invested 30 percent of the shares, and Wen Hui and they accounted for 70 percent. At the end of the year, Wenzhu scraped together some money for them, and through Mr. Yu's relationship, he bought a wedding house at a 7% discount on the house price. Married in 2003 and gave birth to a child in 2004, the company became regular, the scale gradually expanded, and there were more than a dozen hands under him.

Wen Hui and Wu Yang Every time they come to Dragon City, Tianyu is always not called "uncle and aunt", but "Wen Wufei (Hui) Yang", which makes everyone laugh. When Wen Hui's son Wen Tianyi could speak, he did not call Wen Zhu Dong Mei "Uncle and Aunt", and responded to Tianyu with "Wen Dong (Dong) Zhumei". The two had a lot of trouble and were jubilant.

Wen Changfa saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, the illness, pain, suffering, and poverty of the past are gone forever.

Ten years in Hedong, ten years in Hexi, ups and downs in life, rise and fall in the east. Don't be happy for things, don't be sad for yourself, God rewards diligence, and there is great filial piety in the world.

He held his grandson in his left hand and his granddaughter in his right hand, and walked to every corner of Wenjiazhuang, his happiness was self-evident, his pride was spontaneous, and he was envious of his descendants. Even most of his white hair has turned black, and his body is much harder, so that he can go to the fields to do some farm work.

Dragon City, Wuxi, the countryside, take turns to stay. often praises the filial piety of the two sons in front of others, and often thinks about the unblessed wife Wu Sanmei, saying that they should sacrifice well on the tenth anniversary.

On December 5, 2005, Wenzhu opened the yellow calendar, the fifth day of the winter month, a few months ago, in fact, it was destined on the day of the mother's death, and today is the tenth anniversary of the death of the mother.

Some days have passed and you will never remember it in your life, and some days you will never forget in a few lifetimes, just like Wenzhu never forgot the affectionate tears of his mother before she died, like an indelible mark deeply engraved in her mind.

Ten years is just a drop in the ocean for the evolution of the earth and the development of human history. As for personal development, it is a great change, which can even be described as a vicissitudes of life.

How many decades of a person's life can be squandered, and in the best decades of life, maybe this decade is your milestone, maybe it is your Waterloo. In the past ten years, Wenzhu did not dare to make a time, remembered the teachings of his mother, did not dare to slack off, climbed the ladder, and held up a piece of the sky.

Sacrifice is a ritual, a ritual, a virtue, it is not a superstition, so it needs to be passed on, it allows the living to remember their dead relatives from time to time, and to cherish and love the living relatives doubly.

Stones cannot evolve, and therefore cannot jump out of humans. We cherish the remembrance of the people who gave birth to and raised us, which is a kind of filial piety, a kind of spirit, and a kind of brilliance of human nature. Time can dilute everything, but the brilliance of human nature runs through the evolutionary history of all mankind.

Human nature is invisible, but now it feels like it is about to disappear into the invisible, and the visible human beings need the invisible humanity, otherwise they will be the walking dead and degenerate into stone.

Wu Sanmei's 10th anniversary festival is a big event, Wenzhu's uncle, aunt, and cousin are here, uncles, uncles, and cousins are also here, and the family that is close to Murakami is also here.

Wenzhu arranged for Chengbang to pick up and drop off personnel, Wenhui dispatched in the car, the same jeep as Dongsheng, the boss of Chengbang did a good job, and it was not bad to be a coachman. At ten o'clock, all the relatives and personnel were gathered, and the sacrificial items were also arranged.

The cemetery is surrounded by water on three sides, facing the road on one side, opening like a fan, and the river is its natural barrier, with several black tiles and white walls in the center of the fan, and a huge gray dome placed on the concrete floor in front of it, which is used for burning and worshipping.

It was a little cold, and everyone was solemn. The paper house is placed in front of the gray tripod, more than one person is high, some straw and money paper are spread below, and the four corners are mated with cakes, which means high ascension (cake body).

The paper house is a frame made of bamboo strips, solid and fine, and the outside is pasted with colored paper, and the color is as bright as a heavenly palace. Through the window, you can see the furnishings of the house, including beds, cupboards, cabinets, boxes, tables, chairs, TVs, telephones, refrigerators, etc., although the scale has been reduced, it is still clear at a glance.

There are also a lot of boxes around the house, which were brought by relatives, and most of them are paper props such as clothes, pants, shoes, hats, ingots, etc. Through these sacrifices, people remember their deceased relatives, and they are brought to the underworld by a fire and a few wisps of light wind, hoping that they will enjoy the treatment of the world.

Presumably, the world is a portrayal of heaven and earth, but heaven has added some immortals, and the underworld has added some yin. People's imagination can not escape the shadow of reality, and the sacrifices are no different from the general of the world, but some subtle changes are made in the conception, such as proportions and materials, and paper is used instead, which is cheap and can convey sorrow.

In the middle of the small case is the portrait of Wu Sanmei, like the first three bowls of vegetables, a bowl of rice, a pair of chopsticks, two red candles on the incense burner are fluttering and burning, fluctuating, a few pillars of incense are lit, and the green smoke is slowly rising.

Wen Zhu kowtowed to Wen Hui, followed by Dong Mei and Wu Yang, and finally took turns to Tianyu and Providence. Wen Hui remembered the regret of ten years ago, and cried loudly, as if God understood whether he understood it or not, and cried with him.

Everyone accompanied the tears, sighed and sighed, and felt sorry, and Wen Changfa hid in a corner to wipe his clothes and tears. Seeing this, Wen Zhu pulled up Wen Hui and recited a song "Sacrifice Mother" that was completed a few days ago, with a sad and sincere voice that touched people's hearts.

"The mother fairy died in the winter moon of ninety-five, and the yellow calendar was as if it were yesterday. How can I forget kissing my mother, clear stream water and tears.

"The three-storey building is the first in a small village. The godson has a recipe to win the lottery, and the fields at home are busy in the morning and evening. The front and back of the house are bright, and the overwork is beside the field. Hearing this bad news, he panicked, and left everything to go home. The younger brother returned late from Xicheng, and the loving mother slept with tears on her face. I didn't see the last side of the child, and I left regrets in the world. A mother's tears rippled, and the two sons knelt down and wept. Ten fingers and heartache died, and there was no mother to call from then on.

"The thunder in the winter sky sounds, and the heavenly immortal ladder hangs among the clouds. The road to heaven is long, and I forget about the things in the world. The breeze and the moon are bright, and the rainbow is like a fairy after the rain.

"The fields are barren and the grass grows green and yellow, and no one takes care of them. Layers of gray corners hang nets, and people walk downstairs to cool the tea. There are tears in the statue of a loving mother, and there are only two sons in her heart.

"The two sons grew up in panic, and the old father's turbid wine accompanied the piano injury. The teachings before his death are hidden in his heart, and he is strong step by side through wind and rain. My brother lives in Xicheng, and my brother has a dragon and I am a phoenix girl. The New Year's wife can make a trip, and the ancestors have three pillars of incense in front of the grave. The smoke surrounds the cypress and leads to heaven, but the loving mother has no hope. ”

The uncle burst into tears when he heard this, and raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Sister, the sky has no eyes to take you away, but you have eyes, leaving two outstanding sons for the Wen family." The big guy is a section chief, and the small guy is a boss, don't collapse in Wenjiazhuang, don't lose your face.

"Sister, you are not blessed, but you left the blessing to your family, and the family is in harmony, and the day is getting better and better. The two sons are filial, and the blessings of the brother-in-law are enviable. Sister, the Wen family is prosperous, you have grandchildren and granddaughters, but it's a pity that you can't see it. The granddaughter is a big guy, smart and smart, and the grandson is a small guy, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, I kowtowed to you just now. If you have spirits, look at them in heaven and bless them to grow up healthy. ”

Uncle's words touched the aunt's nerves, and she almost fainted when she sobbed, and the aunt was holding on to her, like a tearful person.

Wen Zhu looked up at the sky, and said that it was strange, a few clouds floated in the clear blue sky temporarily, like something out of nothing, gathered in the sky above the cemetery, and did not disperse for a long time, like the eyes of the sky looking below. Wen Zhu didn't know if it was his mother's eyes, and he felt that his mother had never gone away, no matter how far away the time and space were, when he looked back, his mother was by his side.

Wenzhu set the paper house on fire, and the flames soared into the sky, reflecting every face that was wet with tears due to nostalgia. The flame licked the brittle paper bent by the barbecue, peeled off the ground, turned into green smoke, and took away the sorrow of the world and went to another world.

Lunch was set at the Zhendong Hotel, arranged by Chengbang Liaison, three tables of people. Zhendong Hotel is now acquired by the "Good Again" restaurant, that Boss Xiao is really a cow, more than ten years of self-made, famous, Fang Yuan in his store in charge of the spoon, people have gained a lot of weight. After the meal, Chengbang transferred another car, and the personnel pick-up and drop-off was basically completed.
