"Auntie...... I'm serious. I replied to my aunt in a deep voice, "I have already made an appointment with Yuezi." It is her goal to go to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and I will always wait for her to come back. Marriage is such a thing...... There's nothing wrong with postponing it a few years. Anyway, my life situation is quite good now, and there are a lot of things in the company, and I can't take care of it even if I build a family. ”

"Xiaodong ......" My decision made the atmosphere at the dinner table a little stiff, after all, five years is not a short time, who knows what will happen in five years? The age of 30 is a watershed moment. In China, there are not many people who get married after the age of 30.

"Why don't you think about it again, Xiaodong, I can see that you have a good relationship with the confinement child, but ...... Five years, I think, is a bit too long. My uncle also said to me with thick eyebrows.

"By the way, isn't it possible to get married in graduate school? Or...... You're going to get the wedding right now, how about it?"

My aunt also proposed, and her proposal made me and the confinement a little stiff, and I took a look at the confinement and found that she was also very rare and a little red. After all, in the face of this kind of problem, as long as it is a woman, she will be very shy, although Yuezi and I are just acting in a play, but I and Yuezi have really had feelings between men and women. Although they are completely brothers and sisters now, the memories of the past are not gone.

"This doesn't work...... Confinement in Japan still has to be discussed with parents, and it is not so easy to do. There is also the question of nationality and residency...... None of this has been dealt with. If these problems are not addressed, it is impossible to get married. I calmed down and slowly explained to my aunt, "Auntie, don't worry, I said that waiting for five years of confinement is five years at the latest, and there may be results next year and the year after...... Anyway, within five years, I'll definitely get married. ”

"Oh. But that's too uncertain, isn't it...... Xiaodong, think about it clearly, if you drag it out any longer, you will be older, you will have children after marriage, and there are a lot of other things to do, if you are older, you will not be able to do it. Like me and your uncle, now that we are old, where do we have much energy to raise children on our behalf? ”

I smiled a little awkwardly and said, "I think clearly." I'm ready to go. I will wait for the confinement to come back. She also said that she would wait for the day she returned. ”

"I'll be back. I won't let Adongbai wait. ”

Just as I was saying these words, Yuezi suddenly opened her mouth, and her fragrant hair suddenly leaned against my chest.

I lowered my head in surprise, only to see Yuezi lying on my chest, with her head tilted, her eyes blurred, looking at me with a smile.

"Adong, I love you. ”

Yuezi's words stunned everyone.

I was also stunned.

This is a line that I didn't have in the script I wrote before I came to the moon.

Then, there was a wave of applause and applause at the dinner table.

……

Three days after Xue Qi started school, Yuezi suggested to me that she had already met her uncle, aunt, and cousin whom she had always wanted to meet, and that she wanted to visit her hometown again, after all, that was where she really came from.

I agreed to the confinement request, and after lunch, I took the confinement to my hometown to visit the grave.

Although it was not the winter solstice, and it was not Qingming, but at this time, I did not have any unnatural feelings when I went to the grave.

Indeed, I haven't been to my father's grave for a long time, and my grandfather *** burned incense, I should have gone to see them a long time ago.

It was a cloudy day, full of dark clouds, cold wind, when I got out of the car and saw the old house left by my grandparents, Yuezi sighed with emotion: "What a house with a feeling." At first glance, it feels like a painting dug out of the depths of my mind. ”

I laughed.

Yuezi said that she wanted to go into the old house to see, I opened the door of the old house, and as soon as I entered the door, Yuezi wrinkled her nose like a dog and kept sniffing.

I asked her, "I haven't been back to clean this house for a long time, and a lot of wood in it is moldy." Don't smell it, it's not a French Chanel perfume. ”

Who wants to be confined but shakes his head and says, "No, I like to smell the rotting wood the most." It's very feeling. ”

I was speechless for a while, I didn't expect that Yuezi would have such a special hobby.

After that, I took the confinement to the old house and told her the stories of the attic and every room inside, including the stories I used to listen to my grandmother tell stories in the attic when I was a child.

Speaking of the past, I can't help but feel sad in my heart, and the confinement is also feeling desolation with me.

When I walked out of the mossy and musty old house, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. After that, Yuezi and I went to the back mountain to sweep the grave.

I bought some paper money from Duxian outside the town, lit the incense candles, and then knelt down at the grave.

For Chinese tomb etiquette, Yuezi didn't know much, so he just followed my example and placed peanuts, eggs, fish, rice and meat in front of the grave, and knelt down with incense in hand after burning paper money.

Standing up, Yuezi cut her long hair, and I smiled and said to her, "Now it's finally time to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors." ”

Yuezi nodded and smiled at me.

"yes," the smile on her face faded, and she said, "if only I had come sooner." Maybe...... I'll still be able to see my dad. Turning her head to look at my father's tombstone, Yuezi said with some bitterness.

And I was silent.

Speaking of my father's death...... I have a large part of the reason.

If, I sent Xueqi to the Civil Affairs Bureau...... Maybe everything will be different today.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in the world.

Inserting the incense in front of the tombstone, the confinement closed her eyes again, and bowed together.

Today she wore a black uniform skirt.

Her long black hair was neatly combed, and in the cold wind, her black hair was dissolved like ink in water.

Yuezi's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes, revealing a clear aura of black pupils.

"When you think about human life, it's really short. Yuezi stood up, but the dark eyes still remained in front of the tombstone, "A living person, can cry, laugh, talk, play, but in the blink of an eye, there is nothing." Like a puff of smoke...... A gentle gust of wind, just what...... It's all gone. Only such a tombstone remains. ”

Yuezi said quietly, and finally let out a sigh.

"Now that I think about it, if only there really were an elixir in the world. Hehe. At least...... There could be less sadness. ”

Yuezi said bitterly, turned her head, and looked at me with sad eyes.

I looked at her too.

"That's impossible. I looked at the confinement and replied to her lightly, "Everyone...... Everything is doomed. Every moment in this world something is dying, and something new is being born. It's like I'm standing here with you, but, speaking of which, maybe we were a second ago and we are not the same person now. In the end, nothing lasts forever, and all we can do is to live in the present and grasp every minute and second of the present. That's the only thing we can grasp. ”

"Huh. What a philosophical statement. But think about it according to your words...... It's really sad. Yuezi shook her head and said.

"It can't be helped...... People live, and the end is always tragic. No matter how beautiful you are, how vigorous and happy you are when you are alive...... But one day it will be in the ground. If you think of people as a story, the ending is always a tragedy. ”

"Brother," when I said this, Yuezi suddenly stared at me and said, "I don't want to get married when you say this!"

I was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I'm just casually talking, is it necessary to be so serious!"

Yuezi smiled, she said let me wait a moment, and ran to the side, took her most precious violin out of a suitcase, she nodded to me, and then, softly, slowly, she walked to the heavy tombstone, closed her eyes, and played the violin.

The cold wind blows, and the grass is depressed.

I stood aside and watched the confinement in silence.

Watch the confinement play the violin soothingly.

It's a tune I've never heard before.

The melancholy, soothing, and distant tune was like a sweeping north wind, drifting over the fallen dead grass, around the cold and heavy tombstones, and through the wide and depressed plains, until at last, rising with the wind, and flying all the way ...... Fly all the time......

Flew over small bridges, low houses, mountains, and rivers......

Flew to the edge of the gloomy sky.

Finally dissipated under the cloudy sky.

That's a tune I've never heard Yuezi play.

But I knew the name of the piece.

That song, which has a title that best matches its tune, is called,

Requiem.
