Chapter 16: Parting and Vision
"Oh...... Hello......" Wu Qi is memorizing words. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past month, everyone has been busy with Wu Qi's affairs, visas, fees, clothes, books, etc. As for Wu Qi, he was naturally learning Portuguese by surprise. Because there is really no one to take care of Wu Qi. Wu Qi's father's business is a family business, his mother has to take care of all the food, clothing, housing and transportation of Wu Qi's father, and his father is the pillar of the family and can't leave at all, and no one can speak Portuguese, so it will become a burden in the past.
Fortunately, Wu Qi's language talent is very high, and he is exactly at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and his learning ability is still at its peak. Therefore, he can only force Wu Qi to master some ordinary words and phrases first, and then learn from the people around him after he arrives in Brazil.
"Portuguese is really hard to learn...... Wu Qi has been tired of these courses lately. He had just become accustomed to the pronunciation and tone of English, and was very uncomfortable with the strange rising tones of Portuguese, let alone the somewhat curly pronunciation. Between Chinese, English, and Portuguese, Wu Qi felt that there was confusion, as if he couldn't understand all three things now.
On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, Wu Qi's father specially chose this day for Wu Qiyang.
The mountain city, whether it is red or white, is inseparable from the word "ceremony". From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the New Year's prayers are all exquisite, and the candied salute is one of them. The people of the mountain city have loved to travel north and south since ancient times. Whether it is going out of office, doing business, joining the army, or studying, relatives and friends must hold a solemn ceremony, praying to Mazu and sacrificing to the ancestors, praying for the protection of the children who have run away, so that they can be safe and prosperous.
"Alas, old Wu, your family is amazing, you have studied abroad!" "Does he speak English?" "Is there rice over there?" Relatives and friends came to congratulate them, and they were also curious about what means the old Wu family used to send their son abroad. You know, in the countryside, it is a glorious thing to be able to cultivate a child to study abroad!
"Hehe, I can't read a stinky boy book well. I have a friend who does business in South America, and I want to ask for favors, so I want to just let him out and exercise, and break through. "Wu Qi's father talked and laughed with the big guy. He didn't tell the truth, he didn't want everyone to look at his son in a worldly and strange way, and put the child under great pressure.
On weekdays, my mother can act neatly when she comes to happy events, but today she is not in a state, and she stays in the kitchen in a daze from time to time.
"Crackling!!" Firecrackers rang out outside, and the "master" invited by his father arrived.
"Shigong" means mage, which is a unique profession in the mountain city, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and has been passed down from man to woman. It is said that he can see through the netherworld, and after channeling, he can talk to his ancestors and ancestors, and preside over red and white funerals for the people of the mountain city.
After Wu Qi bathed in the five-flavor grass soup, he put on a green coat and bowed under the guidance of his master, offering sacrifices to his ancestors and ancestors that he was about to travel far away. The sound of firecrackers outside the door became louder and louder, and the people in the room quietly surrounded Wu Qi and Shigong. Shigong recited a mantra in the Shancheng dialect in his mouth, and the bell in his hand kept ringing.
Wu Qi knelt down, bowed, bowed, bowed, bowed....After bowing a few times, Wu Qi couldn't help but carefully look at the people in front of him, as well as the house. From birth to the present, the lychee tree, which was once only a few meters high, is now taller than a three-story building; when I was a child, I felt that my parents were so young, but now my temples are gray; the only thing that remains unchanged is probably the small river in front of the door, which has been flowing and has never stopped; and the rice in the field, the smell of earth......
He is very fortunate to be born here and has experienced the changes in this family firsthand.
By the way, grandpa never attended any funerals.
After bowing again, tears flowed down Wu Qi's cheeks. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented reluctance, the land that nurtured and nurtured him, and his family. Everyone present was moved.
Since ancient times, young people have left home. It has always been a thread in the hands of a loving mother. The children who travel are concerned about their hometown, and the hard-working parents are keeping watch at home.
The mountains, the sunset, the smoke, the laughter, the laughter.
The next day.
This day has come. Wu Qi was carrying his suitcase and preparing to enter the station, and Lima and his team were already waiting inside the station.
Mom hugged Wu Qi tightly, and she was already crying uncontrollably.
Wu Qi didn't cry, he comforted his mother very strongly: "Mom, don't worry." I'll be obedient when I get there. ”
Wu Qi's mother should hate Wu Qi's father the most at this time!
"Go, don't embarrass me!" Wu Qi's father, as always, didn't seem to see that he was sad.
"Ali, it's time to call," sister Wu Di choked.
Wu Qi looked around and didn't see his grandfather. But under the tree in the distance, an old man was on crutches, with a straight waist, and seemed to be a soldier who was sticking to his post. I didn't find my grandfather in the morning, but he was standing in the distance all this time. Grandpa will always be like this, resolute and strong. Maybe he'll be sad too, but he just doesn't want others to see it.
Get on the bus!
The car moved forward slowly, and the familiar scenery was like a rewind. This is the first time Wu Qi has gone far away, and he didn't expect that the first time would be to go to such a distant country as Brazil.
"You'll be back. Lima said with a smile, Lima rarely smiled.
Wu Qi looked out the window. Although he was still sad just now, he quickly forgot about it. For the unknown future, strong challenges, he can't help but be a little apprehensive, but also very excited.
Brazil, I'm coming!
