Chapter 20: The Anniversary Festival
Du Xiaoxiao returned home, and on the night when the whole family gathered, after explaining that the eldest brother Du Xiu took his younger brothers to guard the door carefully, he invited the three fathers into the study and closed the doors and windows. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the wall of the study hung a portrait of her mother Du Wanruo, and the fathers were a little nervous by Du Xiaoxiao's serious and cautious appearance. At this time, Du Xiaoxiao took out the carved rosewood box from the suitcase, opened it, and placed the carved wooden dolls on the coffee table in front of the sofa one by one, and then slowly said the postures and expressions he learned in the wooden carved dolls this semester, as well as what happened in his mind, and then said solemnly: "Third father, don't worry about me anymore, my body is no longer troubled by the growth of mental power." The eldest father and the second father can also breathe a sigh of relief and slow down. With that, he stood up and bowed deeply to his fathers.
The third father, Ge Qinian, turned his strange gaze on Mo Wen and didn't speak, saying that he had asked someone to look for it for half a year, but the answer was around, it was really a trick.
Father Mo glanced at the second and third children, and helped Du Xiaoxin up: "You girl, what are you doing?" Do you need to be so polite to your fathers? Don't forget, you are our daughter, no matter how hard and tired we are for you, your health is the greatest reward for us. After saying that, he paused for a long time, and asked hesitantly: "I just don't know what that jade bead is in your mind, will it bring you other consequences?" ”
The second father, Chen Leishi, nodded, expressing his very much agreement with what the boss said earlier, and said: "I like to take care of farms and restaurants now, and I seem to have endless energy every day, and I believe that I can do better and better in the future." There will be more and more property in the family, and life will be better and better. ”
The third father, Ge Qinian, asked Xiaoxiao: "Have you told your teacher Qiu Yuebai about these situations?" When he heard Du Xiaoxiao's answer that he didn't tell anyone, he was very annoyed in his heart, he knew that he should have told them frankly about the small situation, maybe the problem would have been solved a long time ago, and he would not let Xiaoxiao explore it by himself, which was delayed for nearly a semester.
When Ge Qinian heard Boss Mo's words, he was surprised: "Boss, isn't this your treasure?" How could you not know what it does, and whether it has other harms? “
Mo Wen explained: "This box of woodcarved dolls was originally given to me by my father Xiao Hua because I like to carve since I was a child, it is an ancestral object of the Xiao family, as early as when the Xiao family declined, no one knew its role, I heard that all valuable things were sold, only this box of woodcarved dolls is worthless, so it has always been only a children's toy as a thought to pass it down." Oh, that's right! Xiaoxiao, along with this box of dolls, there is also a book made of unknown materials, the name of the book is "Wood Carving Tutorial". I'll look for it and pass it on to you. "Mo Wen in line with the dispensable mentality, decided to give the now useless "Wood Carving Tutorial" to Du Xiaoxiao, in case Xiaoxiao can find any secrets from it, it is also good, of course, Mo Wen also knows that it is not very likely, hehe.
"Okay, it's not too early, go back and check the information about mental power, see if there is any harm in this situation, if there is any harm, it is better to remedy it as soon as possible. In a few days, it will be Wanruo's anniversary, and the items for the anniversary festival should be added these days, and the things that the children should prepare should also be prepared for them. Let's all rest early. Chen Lei really saw that there was nothing wrong, so he chattered, pushed Du Xiaoxiao out of the study, and stuck his head out of the door and said, "Boss, you help Xiaoxiao clean up the doll, and give it to Xiaoxiao tomorrow." ”
"Got it." Mo Wen shook his head, the second child is still such a Pilai temperament, and he always doesn't look like he grows up.

The next day, Du Xiaoxiao went to the credit card department of the city hall under the leadership of the second father, completed the annual review of this year, and then followed behind the second father to watch the second father talk about business, and buy some ornaments and sacrifices for the mother's anniversary festival, as well as incense and candles.
During this period, the eldest father threw his old "Wood Carving Tutorial" to Du Xiaoxiao, so that she could see it when she was fine, and she could also choose some wood to practice her hands.
In the days that followed, it was busy, and more than ten days passed, and finally the day of the anniversary festival came.
On the morning of that day, the weather was still good, and a family of seven went to the Kungang City Cemetery in a flying car, with offerings or something.
Mother's cemetery is not big, there are three empty places left next to the tomb, I know that it is left by the fathers, they have been hoping that one day, they can return the happiness and comfort that the mother did not get during her lifetime, after a year of time polishing, the fathers can better understand the hard work and bitterness of the mother.
Du Xiaoxiao watched silently, watching the fathers and younger brothers clean the tomb for their mother, clean up the weeds, place offerings, and light incense and candles・・・・・・
Du Xiaoxiao read silently, Mom, we came to see you, it's been a year, are you lonely? Can you feel the remorse of your fathers now? Can you hear the call of your children? Mom, we've come to see you, we've missed you, will you miss us again?
"Xiaoxiao, come, put incense on your mother, let your mother bless you, and be healthy forever!" Father Mo asked Du Xiaoxiao, who was a little in a trance.
"Oh, okay." Du Xiaoxiao woke up, stepped forward to take the sandalwood lit in his father's hand, bowed to his mother's tombstone three times, inserted it into the incense burner, knelt down, kowtowed three times, stood aside silently, and gave up his position to his eldest brother Du Xiu. Then there is the second brother Du You, and the last is the third brother Du Shen, but Ah Shen is still too young, and he can't understand why he called his mother at the cold stone tablet, and he didn't understand that his mother had turned into ashes and was packed in the urn, buried behind this cold stone tablet, and he couldn't see him anymore, he just cried loudly and called "Mom", but he couldn't see where her mother was?
Du Xiu's cry infected everyone, Du You and Du Xiu couldn't help crying, Du Xiaoxiao wanted to laugh, but why did the tears fall unstoppably, I couldn't stop it. Du Xiaoxiao said: "Mom, I didn't cry, I laughed, I laughed!" On one side, the tears splashed like pearls on my mother's grave・・・・・・
The tears of the three men were rolling in their eyes, and they didn't dare to fall.
"Let's go, let's go, we'll come to see you every New Year's Day in the future, don't be afraid, sleep well!" The eldest father Mo Wen gently turned around and whispered to his mother, picked up Du Injury, and hurried down the mountain, the second father held a child in one hand, leaving me to the third father to watch.
"I'm fine, Third Father, let's go. Mom will miss us. ”
Du Xiaoxiao took the third father's hand and turned back as he walked down・・・・・・
