Chapter 122: The Living
"Okay, I got it." Yang Guo smiled, "I will find a stepmother for Qiqi, so that Qiqi can feel the warmth of home, well, of course, you must hurt Qiqi, this is the premise!" โ
Yang Guo muttered to himself as he filled in Wu Yue's shelter and compacted it, and then he took out a rectangular piece of wood from the long bag on his back.
When he returned to Yangcheng, Yang Guo went to find a master carpenter to make it, which was engraved with the words "The tomb of my wife Wu Yue, Yang Guoli".
"In a hurry, I didn't have time to prepare a stone tablet for you, so I'll use this instead, right?" Yang Guo said with a smile, "When I come back for the Qingming Festival next year, I will give you a good one!" โ
After erecting the tombstone, Yang Guo stood up, he carried a hoe, looked at the sky that was already hazy and bright, it was almost five o'clock, and the people in the village were about to get up and prepare to go to the ground!
Yang Guo was not in a hurry to go back, he looked around, then walked to the lake, and carefully dug out a bauhinia that had just grown less than a year ago with a hoe.
Bauhinia is a more common shrub in the south, it is very different from the bauhinia in Hong Kong City, it is not so beautiful, but it is more adaptable to the environment, and in the process of transplanting, even if it is inserted in sand, it can survive.
The reason why Yang Guo chose Bauhinia was that he remembered a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Wei Yingwu "Seeing Bauhinia Flowers" - "Miscellaneous English have accumulated, and there is only one fragrance in the twilight of spring." It is also like the old garden tree, and suddenly remembers the old garden people. "The flower language of Bauhinia also has the meaning of family harmony and deep affection, maybe it is more appropriate to use it to pay tribute to the deceased Wu Yue!
This bauhinia is still small, it is estimated that it will bloom tomorrow and the year after tomorrow, and when the flowers bloom, Qiqi should be sensible, and when the time comes, take her to see Wu Yue, the flowers are blooming brilliantly, and it is not a wonderful thing.
Yang Guo carefully planted this bauhinia plant in front of Wu Yue's grave, a little distance, worried that its roots would disturb Wu Yue. After planting, Yang Guo stood up with a smile, clapped his hands, and said, "Wu Yue, I'm here today, help you get the ground right, you can rest in peace!" In the future, I will come to see you often. โ
Glancing affectionately at the newly piled grave, Yang Guo picked up his hoe and walked in the direction of the village without looking back.
The day is already bright, back in the village, Yang Guo can hear the sound of washing and talking from the yard of many people's homes, the farmers are up at sunrise, return at sunset, get up at five o'clock, it is not unusual at all, if it is late, everyone will say that you are lazy!
Fortunately, when Yang Guo returned home, he didn't meet anyone along the way, which also saved him from making up reasons to explain.
A few years ago, my parents also got up early to take the cow to work in the fields, and after Yang Guo let them rest and stop working in the past two years, my parents didn't have to get up so early, Yang Guo returned to the yard, and the house was still quiet.
He didn't feel sleepy, and after washing his hands, he started to practice in the yard in the morning.
Or practice his tai chi, first practice slowly, fully stimulate and hone every muscle and every cell in the body, and then fight fast, draped and moved, and the movements are so fast that you can't see the shadow clearly. When he finally closed his fist, his father's voice suddenly came from behind.
"It's a good fight, it's much more energetic than the last time I went to your sister in the county." Yang Tie said with a smile, "No wonder you have grown so tall this year." โ
Yang Guo was a little speechless, those aunts and old men in the park practiced health Tai Chi, can they compare with their own boxing skills? However, he didn't plan to explain to Yang Tie, he wiped his sweat, turned around, looked at Yang Tie and smiled: "Dad, you got up so early?" Why don't you sleep a little longer? โ
"It's okay, the person is old, and when he sleeps at this time, he also wakes up by himself." Yang Tie shook his hand and said. He went under the eaves, took a dry towel, wiped the dew-stained bamboo and rattan bench in the yard, and lay down comfortably.
After a moment, he asked, "Everything is done?" โ
Yang Guo nodded and said, "It's done." โ
"That's fine!" Yang Tie squinted, grabbed a puff fan and shook it gently, "Your mother has been talking to me about this for a long time." Don't worry, you've got it done, I'll take care of it for you later, it's not a big deal. "Don't look at Yang Tie's submissiveness to Xu Jinfeng at home, he is also a talker in the clan, and he is also a character in the village, sometimes, the major events in the village, the foreign student doll village chief, you have to ask him for advice, this is also where Yang Guo admires his father.
Last night, Xu Jinfeng couldn't hold back and told Yang Ping the news of Yang Guo's return. So, this morning, Yang Ping and her brother-in-law Yang Chongguan rushed back from the county seat.
When she saw Yang Guo, Yang Ping didn't dare to admit it. She really couldn't believe that this younger brother she had grown up with since she was a child had become so tall in the blink of an eye, and he didn't look like a southerner at all!
The two of them came back, and of course the happiest was their son Yang Linjie, but Yang Linjie was once again stolen from the limelight by Qiqi, Yang Ping just hugged and kissed, and put her baby son aside, and hugged Qiqi affectionately to look left and right.
Yang Linjie was not as jealous as yesterday, the Transformers toy that Yang Guo gave him was not hot yet, after he was put down by his mother, he ran to the house and hugged the Transformers out and showed them off in front of his father.
After putting down Qiqi, Yang Ping pulled Yang Guo aside and said with a serious face: "Guozi, what do you think?" โ
"What do you think?" Yang Guo said with a smile.
"You're not married, so you're bringing a... a..."Yang Ping said that the back was a little hesitant, Yang Guo knew that what she wanted to say was the word oil bottle, but Yang Guo didn't blame her.
"Sister, don't worry about me!" Yang Guo patted Yang Ping's shoulder and smiled.
"How can I not worry about you?" Yang Ping was a little annoyed, she said, "Mom told me, you went on a blind date arranged for you, and then you never went again, you don't have much contact with other girls, how can you find a daughter-in-law?" โ
Yang Guo said with a wry smile: "Sister, don't mention the blind date, the blind date is the most unreliable!" โ
Yang Ping glared at him and said, "Who said it was unreliable?" Your brother-in-law and I didn't meet on a blind date? โ
"That's different, you're lucky, no, my brother-in-law is lucky!" Yang Guo smiled, "Moreover, I am also twenty-three or four-year-old this year, is it necessary to worry about my life's events so soon?" โ
"If you didn't have children, you could play as much as you wanted, but now it's different!" Yang Ping said hatefully, "If you don't get married while the child is still young, what if you don't let you find a wife when the child is older and sensible?" Besides, at that time, other people's girls still disliked you for having such a big child! You can't hide it if you want to! โ
"Don't hide, I'm looking for a wife, she must first be able to accept and like Kiki, this is the premise." Yang Guo said seriously, "If she doesn't like Kiki, I won't accept her." Also, I think you really don't have to worry about me, when fate comes, my wife will come! โ
After chatting with his sister for a while, Yang Guo drove to the town to buy vegetables with his mother, sister and brother-in-law Yang Chongguan, because not only Yang Guo's family, but also invited several uncles and other relatives in the clan to come over for dinner today, which is regarded as taking Qiqi to recognize everyone, so there are a lot of vegetables to buy, and the whole family is mobilized, leaving only Yang Tie to watch Yang Linjie at home.
Holding Kiki, Yang Guo followed them with a smile and a basket. The vegetable market in the town is not as neat as that in Yangcheng, but it is rich in "vegetable varieties"! In particular, the seafood was just delivered by the fishermen who went out to sea last night, and the water was very fresh, and none of it was frozen!
There are many people in the vegetable market in the town who also go out of the village, they are still very familiar with their mother and sister, watching Xu Jinfeng greet them, Yang Guo can only open his mouth, he doesn't know what to call it! In fact, some Yang Guo is still a little impressed, but after going to high school and college, his knowledge and circle of friends no longer stay in the small county, and the memory of the past is not very good, but now it is blurred.
Cooking and cooking, Yang Guo couldn't intervene, and his mother, sister, and a few women in the village took over the work. Yang Guo didn't have time to intervene, he had to be busy coaxing Qiqi, who was crying non-stop!
Kiki was still very happy today, she was able to go out with her father to buy groceries and go shopping, and she could take the car, but when she got home, her seven aunts and eight aunts crowded over to see her. The cute Kiki is naturally loved by everyone, just to see where it is enough! Soon, Kiki was taken out of her father's arms, and several women laughed and hugged her.
The person holding it was reluctant to put it down, and the person who was waiting couldn't help but touch Qiqi's delicate little face, and Qiqi was tossed enough by this group of motherly women.
Kiki soon turned cloudy, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore and simply started crying, waving her little hands, crying while shouting loudly and indistinctly, "Dad... Father! โ
Yang Guo, who ran over after hearing the sound, felt sorry for her daughter and hurriedly hugged Qiqi back, but Qiqi didn't cooperate this time, and she refused to stop when she returned to her father's arms, just put her arms around her father's neck and sobbed aggrievedly, tears covered Yang Guo's neck, and didn't stop until she was about to eat.
Banquets in the countryside are naturally not as exquisite as those in big hotels, but they are very sumptuous, with a dazzling array of seafood such as fish, scallops, prawns, and small abalone, and meat dishes such as chicken, duck, pork belly, and roast suckling pig on the plate. There is no delicate cooking, just a big pot with a big fire and a big taste, and you can eat enough to eat, everyone is not very picky, and the food is just lively!
There were a lot of people who sat down to eat and left the table in a hurry, only a few uncles at the main table sat there peacefully, and Yang Tie was also comfortable chatting and drinking with him.
Yang Guo was busy clinking glasses with the relatives who came to toast and congratulate him. Yang Guo swore that he would never drink again, and he would not drink this time, he secretly prepared a bottle of boiled water with a bit of wine for himself, relying on this bottle of boiled water, he hid it from many people.
The family was lively and lively, but it also made Yang Guo forget the sadness of burying Wu Yue in the morning, indeed, the deceased rest in peace, and the living still have to live well.
