Chapter 21: The Year
- We will never know how the feelings of the elders and the old people began, because we are not interested in understanding, when our current flame is more and more polluted by matter, and our feelings are also nurtured by houses and cars, can we think about the pure love of the older generation?
Feng Hongyan sighed and continued to pack her things. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After a while, Ouyang, who was in the room, heard his mother say to him: "I'll go out with my brother and grandma, and you will stay at home by yourself." Ouyang didn't care too much, he probably looked at the door of the show, Max was holding a black plastic bag, I don't know what was inside, Ouyang glanced at it, turned his head and continued to play the game, it was the New Year, and his mother's restraint on himself became looser.
Feng Hongyan chose a street entrance not far from home, Max found that there were really a lot of people burning paper at this crossing, there were flames everywhere, and the people who burned paper silently did not speak, fiddled with the tools in their hands, and turned the burning paper over and over again.
Something slipped down Max's face, was it tears? No, Max wiped it with his hand, and then said, "Milk, auntie, it's snowing." Feng Hongyan raised her head, and the black sky slowly fell snowflakes.
"Hurry up and burn it, it's not easy to light it when the snow is heavy in a while." After Feng Qinglian finished speaking, she walked into the warehouse at the entrance of the road to buy, and after a while, she took out a burning stick and some rune paper. Max clearly saw that the name of his grandfather was written on the rune paper, and there were a few other names scattered around, which he couldn't see very clearly.
Feng Hongyan took out the lighter she was carrying from her pocket, which was left by Ouyang Mubo, I don't know if it was still lit, and after a while, the paper burned.
"Dad, are you okay over there, Mom also said today that she was going to burn paper for you, you are also about to celebrate the New Year, your grandson and I are worried that you will not have enough money to spend." Feng Hongyan said as she flipped through the papers with a burning stick to make sure that each piece of paper was lit and would not be destroyed by the ground that had already been wet with snow. Feng Qinglian stood on the side for a long time, squatted down silently, and said in a low voice: "Wife, don't worry, I will take care of this family, you wait for me over there, wait for the eldest and second and third, and our girl is all fine, I will go to you, you wait for me." ”
Max didn't speak, just stood silently, and something fell from Max's face.
This time, it's tears.
The next day is the Chinese New Year's Eve, Ouyang and Max were called up by Feng Hongyan very early, forcing them to wear red socks, Ouyang knows that this is the mother's habit, even if it is not his own natal year, he must wear red socks for the New Year, and he must wear a red belt in the natal year, so that he can be auspicious, Ouyang has always felt that if it is a natal year, it will be very smooth, but I heard grandma say that the natal year is not necessarily a good thing, and there are many trivial things in a year.
After Ouyang and Max packed up their things, they began to help clean up their things, and the most important thing in the house was the kitchen, Feng Hongyan was trying to find a way to make more than a dozen people in the family sit down in the kitchen of her own house. It's okay to sit down, but the place can be crowded, and just thinking so, there was a knock at the door.
As soon as Ouyang opened the door, it was Feng Xiaodong.
"Brother, why did you come here so early." Ouyang asked the eldest brother with a smile.
Feng Xiaodong nodded and said, "Didn't my mother ask me to come over to help, what can I do?" Then he walked into the kitchen, Feng Xiaodong brought a lot of vegetables, fruits, and pork, Ouyang also saw his refrigerator for the first time, and the underground of the balcony, which was stuffed full, Ouyang thought in his heart, it is estimated that it will only be like this during the New Year.
Max was very happy when he heard that the eldest brother was coming, so he shouted for Feng Xiaodong to help carry the table. After a while, Ouyang's second uncle's family also arrived. Ouyang's second uncle's family has an older sister named Feng Chunyan, and the second uncle Feng Xianglin is an honest worker, not so much an honest worker, but the old uncle Feng Manyan feels that the second uncle is a little closed and unwilling to communicate with others. And even Ouyang and Max could see that Feng Manyan and Feng Hongyan didn't like their second uncle's family too much. The second aunt still greeted Ouyang and Max as soon as they entered the door, and then asked Feng Hongyan if Ouyang's father would come back for the New Year, and then went to the kitchen to help cook.
Feng Xiaodong and Feng Chunyan are the same age, although Feng Chunyan doesn't talk much, but they can still talk to Xiaodong, and Xiaodong asked about Feng Chunyan's condition during the conversation. Ouyang knows this thing, my sister Feng Chunyan has not had a good physique since she was a child, allergic purpura, and then it seems that the medicine is not used well, and her body is also a little obese, but fortunately, Feng Chunyan is an optimistic child, and now her condition has improved greatly, I heard Xiaodong say that Chunyan will take the college entrance examination in another year, and Max and Ouyang inevitably sent blessings to their sister. A group of children chatted together, and after a while, Feng Qinglian walked in from the door, Ouyang smiled, he knew that the annual day of having money had come again, and his mother always lied to himself that he would not want to go back after entering junior high school. Now that he has finally entered junior high school, this New Year's money will naturally be put into his pocket and will not be given to his mother. However, Feng Hongyan also has a way, she said to Ouyang earlier that if she asked for her grandmother's New Year's money, if she didn't hand it over, she wouldn't give Ouyang any more New Year's money, so that she could also limit the amount of Ouyang's New Year's money. After Feng Qinglian gave each child a red envelope, she looked at the very happy faces of the four children and smiled with relief.
The family spent a pleasant morning together, the adults played poker, chatted about family life, the children played on the computer, and talked about interesting things in their respective schools, Ouyang suddenly felt as if he had returned to the original Feng family, which was crowded, but very lively, and the family was very happy in the small house. Thinking so, the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt also came, and the eldest aunt's cooking skills were not said, so she was naturally invited to the kitchen by Feng Hongyan, and as soon as the eldest aunt entered the kitchen, the mother naturally became the one who started the work.
At noon, Max was hungry and wanted to eat, but was stopped by Feng Qinglian, according to the normal rules, it was to eat a meal in the afternoon, and then eat dumplings directly in the evening, Xiaodong saw that Max was really hungry, so he took a piece of steamed bread from the kitchen and gave Max a bite first. This guy is aware of the amount of food Ouyang knows, if he feels hungry, then he must eat something.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, my mother called the street to the kitchen, Ouyang looked really good at first glance, the table was placed in the middle, two people sat on one side, and there were three positions on both sides of the table in the middle, just right, it was a little crowded when I sat down, Ouyang was small, so he sat with his sister Feng Chunyan on the right of the two people, Ouyang himself asked to sit closer to the door, because he knew that he would be the first to finish eating.
Sure enough, although there were about a dozen dishes on the table that made Ouyang very happy, Ouyang, who only had a bowl of rice, still got off the table early and went to the big house to watch TV. After a while, because of eating a steamed bun at noon, Max actually went to the house early to eat full. The two of them watched TV for a while, and suddenly heard a similar quarrel in the kitchen, so the two of them were outside the kitchen door to see if they could hear something, but Feng Xiaodong came out of the kitchen and saw the two younger brothers sneaky, so they took them back to the big house directly. Ouyang was a little puzzled, what can I argue about during the New Year, Feng Xiaodong shook his head and said I don't know, so he washed up the poker, and the three brothers played poker.
"Xiaohong, this thing is absolutely not good, it was all decided at the time, how long has it been, if you move at this time, that person will not be at peace down there." It was Feng Qinglian's voice that came from the kitchen.
"No, Mom, don't worry, I said the same, I found someone to calculate, move our father's grave to the place I said, you won't always want Dad to stay in the countryside in District D." The one who said this was Ouyang's aunt Li Hong
Feng Qinglian put down her chopsticks, tried her best to restrain her emotions, and said: "I'm still in the day, this grave can't be moved, your father has only been gone for a long time and you are worried about this, where did you go when your father was lying on the **?" As soon as these words came out, everyone at the dinner table fell silent, and Feng Chunyan consciously walked out of the kitchen.
After a while, under Feng Hongyan's persuasion, Li Hong agreed to Feng Qinglian's not to move the grave, of course, the eldest uncle and the second uncle did not say anything.
"Max, why didn't you see your dad?" Feng Chunyan walked into the house and said to Max, who was playing poker
Max shrugged his shoulders and said: "As soon as he arrives at this time, there are a lot of entertainment, what text messages and phone calls, so my dad has developed a habit, that is, to invite his group of fox friends to have a meal before the New Year, and the gifts that should be received are all received, and the toss of the province is saved, and it is estimated that he will be able to come back before the Spring Festival Gala begins." When he heard the words fox friends and dog friends, Ouyang and Xiaodong laughed in unison.
Max thought about what he said, smiled a little, and then asked, "How many blessing text messages have you all received, I have received quite a lot, who are you thinking about sending them to?" ”
Feng Chunyan said that he didn't go out when he was sick and never went to school, only a few good friends texted each other, Xiaodong said that everyone in his dormitory sent blessings to each other, and then, three pairs of eyes looked at Ouyang who had just gotten a mobile phone. Ouyang then remembered that he hadn't touched his mobile phone since the morning, and he hadn't even remembered to send text messages and call to send blessings.
Ouyang patted his head and said, "Oops, I forgot to send text messages, my phone has been in my house, I'll take a look." ”
Ouyang walked briskly to his room, thinking about the list of bulk text messages in his mind as he walked. When he picked up his phone, he saw that there were already many unread text messages.
"It's... Ouyang stared at one of the text messages, not knowing what to do.
