Su Mo'er had never seen this grandmother, but she knew that she was still alive. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In the last life, a year after she married Lin Moyu, this grandmother died, so she didn't even see her voice and appearance once.
However, this time she was curious, how to say that she also regarded her father as her own, and she should do her filial piety for her father.
After making up her mind, she also got up and dressed and planned to go out, Su Wanhao asked her where she was going. She didn't want to hide it so she said it truthfully, Su Wanhao's eyes were full of relief, and after thinking about it, he turned his head to Su Yao on the side and said:
"Yao'er, go too, go and see your grandmother, when you were young, your favorite thing was to go to her to play, she may not have seen you for a long time, you two brothers and sisters should be careful to watch the road." ”
"Yes, father, then my sister and I will go!"
Su Wanhao nodded, watched the two brothers and sisters go out, and then he seemed to be tired, leaning on the big pillow and closing his eyes.
It's already spring, and even if there is snow, it's just a few snowflakes falling one after another, and the two brothers and sisters walked smoothly all the way, and after a while, they came to the deepest courtyard in the house.
When the two of them walked to the door, they found that Mrs. Su and Su Xiu'er were standing at the door and did not go in at all. Su Mo'er hurriedly stepped forward, pulled up her mother and said coldly, distressed:
"Mother, it's so cold outside, why are you and your sister standing here!"
"It's okay, I'm used to it every year! The old lady is in it to worship the Buddha, we don't want to disturb us, just wait a while." ”
"Then you can't wait here! The people who serve in this Tanyuan are too ignorant, why didn't anyone come out!"
"The old lady is just a grandmother waiting, they are all old people, don't let people walk around in the snowy world. ”
Su Mo'er is very helpless, Mrs. Su is notoriously soft-hearted, especially very considerate and generous to her subordinates, and people say that Mrs. Su is a bodhisattva, and she is also kind to such humble people as them.
The four of them stood outside the courtyard for a while, a little boy came out with a lantern, Xu came out to patrol the night, when he saw Mrs. Su and the three brothers and sisters of the Su family standing there, they were so frightened that they almost knocked over the lantern, and hurriedly greeted them and saluted:
"I don't know that Mrs. and Miss Young Master are here, the little ones should be damned, the little ones should be damned......"
Mrs. Su trembled with fright when she saw him, and said softly:
"You don't need to panic, you can go and tell me now. ”
The boy nodded hurriedly, turned around and quickly ran back to the yard to announce, and after a while, an old grandmother hurriedly came with small steps, and saw that the four people who were about to turn into snowmen were anxious and frightened, and hurriedly led them into the yard to the house to roast the fire. He was still muttering:
"Why did Madame come so late! I didn't come in when I came, the old slave didn't go to bed early tonight, otherwise you and the young master and the young lady would have to freeze." ”
"It's all right, can't you wait long, the old lady is asleep?"
"Not yet! This old lady is in a good mood, the old slave has a few words of homely accompaniment, and is now worshipping scriptures in the Buddhist hall!"
"Then let's wait! The old woman needs to bow to the Buddha carefully. ”
Mama smiled and went out to bring tea and snacks, everyone came over after eating, and Mrs. Su specially brought her own snacks, and everyone drank tea and waited slowly.
After waiting for a while, the little boy helped an old woman in simple clothes but festive to come out, Mrs. Su hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to help the old woman, bowed slightly and said softly:
"Mother, daughter-in-law has come to bother, and her body has been fine lately. ”
"Hehehe...... It's all good, you can still remember that my old woman came to see me, better than anything else. ”
"Mother said this, she is going to become a daughter-in-law, it should be a daughter-in-law who comes to greet you every day, if it weren't for your old man's thought that I disturbed your peace, I'm afraid you wouldn't have said that. ”
"I told you not to have so many rules, and I'm not an unreasonable person, so why are you so reluctant! I heard Su Xin say that you were still standing stupidly outside and getting cold, wouldn't you come into the house? ”
Su Xin is the name of the old lady, she was married with Mrs. Su, she has never been married in her life, the old lady treats her as a sister, and now the two old sisters have a companion.
"Whatever my mother said, don't say that it will take a while and a half, even if it is a night, and those of us who are children and grandchildren can also wait. Mother-in-law, your grandchildren have come to pay you New Year's greetings. ”
As soon as Mrs. Su's words fell, the three brothers and sisters hurriedly stepped forward to salute and respectfully greeted the New Year, the old lady's eyes were closed, but the smile on her face was still bright, and she instructed Mama Su to send red envelopes to the three juniors. Suddenly, Old Madam Su asked again:
"Listen to the voice, it seems that another child is coming?"
"Yes, it's your youngest granddaughter, in previous years, I didn't bring her for fear of bumping into my mother, but this year I have grown up and know how to take the initiative to give your old man a New Year's greeting. ”
The old lady happily beckoned Su Mo'er to come forward, Su Mo'er moved lightly to the old lady and sat down, the old lady Su reached out and touched Su Mo'er's face, and said with a smile:
"Both of your brothers and sisters have grown up beside me, but I know who it is by touch, you have grown up with your mother since you were a child, but I don't know what you look like. ”
Hearing this, Su Mo'er lowered her head in shame, she was arrogant in her previous life, and when she learned the story of her father and the old lady, she felt that this old woman was really vicious, so she refused to come to see her. I didn't see each other until the old lady died.
"It's Mo'er who is not sensible, I will come to see my grandmother often in the future, but don't be annoyed with Mo'er. ”
"How could it be, how could a grandmother dislike her grandson! It's too late to hold it on the tip of my heart!"
Saying that, everyone laughed, and the old lady smiled and stroked Su Mo'er's soft little hand, touched a string of Buddhist beads on her wrist, as if she thought of something, smiled even more happily, and said with a smile:
"You're still here! ”
Su Mo'er looked at the Buddha beads in her hand, and felt strange in her heart, she had worn this Buddha beads since she was a child, and no one had told her how she came to it, Su Mo'er asked:
"Grandmother knows about this bracelet?"
"Of course you know, because I gave it to you. ”
Su Mo'er was a little surprised, looked at her mother, Mrs. Su smiled, and explained:
"It is indeed given by your grandmother, you were weak and sick when you were a child, and you have been taking medicine when you can eat, and your grandmother felt sorry for you to suffer from illness at a young age, so she asked the monk for this string of Buddhist beads, put it in front of the Buddha statue, chanted and prayed for blessings for 7749 days, and then put it on for you. After that, you really got better, and now you are growing up so healthy and safe. ”
"The monk is a miracle, when I asked for this Buddha bead, the monk also said that there will be a big catastrophe in your life, and this Buddha bead can keep you safe. You must not take off this bead in the future. ”
When Su Mo'er heard this, she was very moved, it turned out that her grandmother had done such a thing for herself, thinking about the ridiculous things she had done before, she couldn't help but feel ashamed, and tears fell from her red eyes. Su Mu saw it and exclaimed:
"Mo'er, what's wrong with you, why are you crying. ”
"It's all right, Mother. I just thought that my grandmother loved me so much, but I was so unfilial, and I was ashamed and ashamed. ”
Mrs. Su could hug Su Mo'er into her arms when she heard it, and kept screaming "heart" and "baby", but she was embarrassed to call Su Mo'er.
After everyone chatted for a while, Mrs. Su showed tiredness, and Su's mother was about to leave with a few children. Mrs. Su was a little reluctant to be well-behaved Su Mo'er, and Su Mo'er repeatedly promised to come back tomorrow before she let people go back.
After leaving the Tanyuan and returning to the East Courtyard Warm Pavilion, the mother and son entered the house but saw that Su Wanhao had fallen asleep on the big pillow, and the mother and son all let out chuckles, and Su's mother saw that her husband was tired and fell asleep, so she let the children go back to the yard.
Su Wanhao himself fell asleep, even if he wanted to investigate everyone for not keeping the New Year together, it would not work, and the three brothers and sisters frolicked and left. Mrs. Su personally served her husband to sleep.
Although Su's mother moved gently, Su Wanhao, who was sleeping lightly, woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that only the two of them were left in the house, and she knew that a few small ones had run away, and Su's mother smiled:
"Why, when you see people running away, you, the father, still have to go out and get rid of them?"
"Madame knows that I didn't mean that, so don't make fun of my husband. ”
"The lord is tired, no matter how busy the court affairs are, don't work hard for such festivals. ”
"It was discovered by Mrs., it's not in the way, it's just a matter of looking at the official documents, it's good on my mother's side. ”
"Fortunately, my mother's body has improved a little this year, and my hand holding her will not be as cold as in previous years. ”
"That's good, the biggest hope of us as children and grandchildren is that her old man is physically and mentally healthy, and Mrs. has worked hard this year. ”
"Where to talk about the hardships of the master, how can the master see me so much. ”
"You know I don't mean that, you and I have been married for twenty years, and the children have grown up, but I really don't want to do it! I don't know how many times there will be such a Chinese New Year's Eve vigil in the future." ”
Su Wanhao is omnipotent in the eyes of Mrs. Su on weekdays, and she only needs to be the little woman behind him silently. It was the first time she saw Su Wanhao express such a sad feeling, looking at the silver threads faintly appearing on her husband's sideburns, she gently hugged her husband distressedly, and the husband and wife quietly felt the warmth of this moment.
In the distance, the sound of firecrackers at midnight sounds, and the new year has arrived.
