In winter, as if to catch up with the festival, the days are racing against time. This day coincides with Laba, the school is on holiday, Wanchun does not have to get up for morning class, so she sleeps lazily in bed. She has always been well-behaved on weekdays, and occasionally she is lazy like a child, Yu and the others don't care, but tell Xiu'er not to disturb her, so Wanchun slept until ten o'clock before waking up.

After the petition incident, Ji Yuan now has a higher opinion of Wanchun, and the school flower in the north is a sure thing, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore, and he is in a particularly good mood these days. They said that Wutang was not originally a holiday, but it happened that there was a petition first, and the Japanese side hit a nail, and everyone in Wutang was happy, and Mr. Principal waved his hand and gave the students a day off. Ji Yuan got up early, firstly, Zhang Jingtong and they tricked him into going out for morning tea, and secondly, he heard Wanchun say yesterday that the Mu family would make Laba porridge in the medicine hall today, and he had to rush to get a bowl.

So he went out neatly dressed, and Wan Chun just got up and got dressed. The yamen is fine, Li Chengxu and Li Lanfeng are also at home today, the two of them are talking about the opening of the school, Wanchun washed up and went to the front hall with Xiu'er, and said good morning to his grandfather, father and brother.

Li Chengxu and Li Lanfeng knew about the limelight in Wanchun a few days ago, and thought that she was a girl who could have the courage to go to the presidential palace to petition, although it was not to their liking, but they still appreciated her bravery. It was Yu who read the newspaper, and his father-in-law and husband blamed their youngest daughter, and they all took the lead in saying all the good things for Wanchun, so Wanchun did not suffer any grievances after returning home. Everyone still thinks that she is the most pampered little daughter in the family, but they have re-weighed her temperament.

Now she came to say goodbye. Li Lanfeng said with a smile: "Your mother always said that you study hard all day long, and it is rare to have a rest time, so indulge you to sleep until this hour." Go and see, I've left laba porridge for you in the kitchen, so go eat some. ”

"Yes." Wanchun agreed, went to have breakfast with Xiu'er first, and returned to the front hall after the meal. He didn't speak, just sat quietly on the side.

What Li Chengxu and Li Lanfeng want to say is not a big secret, but there is no need to avoid her. Roughly talking about the government's current attitude towards Japan and the plans it will make, Li Chengxu looked at Wanchun still listening attentively on the sidelines, and couldn't help but smile: "Nannan is not bored with politics. ”

Wan Chun smiled: "There is nothing boring about politics. It's just a little hateful. But after listening to it a lot, sometimes I find it very interesting. ”

"Oh?"

Li Chengxu and Li Lanfeng both laughed unconsciously, and Bo Ol also smiled and patted Wanchun's head and said: "You know that politics is hateful, but you still think it is interesting, fourth sister, don't you also want to enter politics?" ”

"I don't want to go into politics." Wan Chun turned her head and smiled at him slightly, "It's just that we live in this society. I can't avoid politics, for example, if I want to study hard to be a good doctor. Then there must be a place to study, and the security of the place of study must be guaranteed, and this guarantee cannot be given by others, but only by those who are in power. You see, I don't have to listen to what politics is like today to know if I can continue to study hard. “

Hearing this, Bool laughed: "Grandfather, father, listen, the fourth sister's words are really sharper now. ”

"She certainly has her point."

Li Lanfeng privately favored his daughter, and originally didn't want her to get involved in too much outside the window, but now looking at Wanchun's shrewdness and decisiveness, almost no less than her mother Yu, she was also very proud in her heart.

Li Chengxu was noncommittal, but for a moment he looked at his little granddaughter's face in a daze. Like, it's too similar, that look, that kind of speech, all like what Min Min looked like when he was young. If it weren't for Wanchun, he would almost not be able to remember Minmin's smile, since he took a concubine, she hadn't smiled for a long time, the deepest impression was when Wanchun was a child, she had a hat in her hand, but forgot to wear it, and kept asking others everywhere where her hat was. Min Min stood in the courtyard, laughing happily when he heard the words, obviously he was nearly fifty people, and when he laughed, he was still the same as when he was young.

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt a terrible pain in his chest, so he unconsciously pressed it with his hand. That's all he had to say, counting the days, there was less than a month to go before the New Year, and three hundred and sixty-five days passed so quickly in the blink of an eye, and the most beloved person in his heart had passed away for twelve years. Twelve years like a white horse passing by, the loquat tree in the courtyard has long been like a cover, he recalled the past, and couldn't help but feel the sadness of the years urging people to grow old.

Li Chengxu stood up silently, Li Lanfeng was about to help him, but he waved his hand to stop, and only said: "I've been sitting for a long time and my back hurts, I'll go for a walk in the yard, and you guys can sit and talk slowly." As he spoke, he took the hat from the coffee table, buckled it on his head and walked out.

Wanchun asked Bool quietly: "Why is Grandpa not very happy?" ”

Bo Ol leaned his finger against his lips and sighed, but Li Lanfeng let out a long sigh: "Maybe I miss your grandmother." ”

Wanchun's grandmother, named Li Min, is the eldest lady of the Li family in Ningbo Xiaogang, Wanchun has heard that the Li family was the richest at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the leader of the family Li Zuen has the reputation of "little God of Wealth", seven grandchildren in the clan, three girls, and the grandmother is the eldest lady of the Li family, which shows the preciousness of the birth. Regarding the marriage of her grandfather and grandmother, Wanchun only heard about it in her mother's words, and it was the words of a matchmaker, but after marriage, the two respected each other like guests.

Listening to my father's words now, it seems that there is something hidden.

However, after all, it was all a story between the elders, and Wanchun, as a junior, was naturally inconvenient to inquire, so after thinking about it, he stood up and said, "I'll take a look at grandpa." ”

"It's okay, he always loves you the most, you go and talk to him."

Li Lanfeng was very pleased with Wanchun's thoughtfulness, he watched his father and mother go through this life. For as long as he can remember, his father has always doted on his mother, but whenever he has something good, he will always send it to his mother as soon as possible. My mother loved to laugh at the time, and she was very fond of the gadgets that my father had searched. Sometimes he looks at the good, but his mother is not willing to give it to him. Only later...... Later, the situation changed, and my father wanted to keep the Li family's foundation. He had to make some sacrifices, and he knew that his mother understood the purpose of this sacrifice, but no one could see her heart. I don't know when my mother doesn't like to laugh or go out and walk around, and often sits in the study and looks at the thick foreign books, which is an afternoon.

Mother doesn't like to laugh. Even the smile on his father's face was gone, and it wasn't until he grew older that he understood where the gap between his father and mother was. However, it was too late, and the father had two more sons, but unfortunately, he was not the same mother. Although after the statehood. My father sent my aunts to other places early. But my mother was terminally ill and died after two years.

He still remembered that his father had not come out of the house for more than a month after his mother went, and Li Da was the only one inside and outside who could go in to see his father by delivering food. The deep grief after his father's loss of his wife was felt through a thick wall, and he had no choice but to say to his wife Yu: "I will never take a concubine again." How sad it would be if you broke your lover's heart because of this.

It's just that. Twelve years had passed, and he had persuaded himself every year. The father will get through it and forget the mother. But only now, he felt that he had underestimated his father's feelings for his mother, and also underestimated his father's memory.

Ah, what an annoying way of the world.

He sighed, looked at his eldest son who was still sitting in front of him, and suddenly remembered that he would soon obey his parents' orders and marry an unfamiliar wife. ”

Although the Li family is not very civilized, they will not blindly close the tradition, and it is not surprising that there will always be some chats between parents and children. When he reached this age, it was not surprising that his parents asked about his feelings, so he replied with a smile: "Don't hide it from my father, to paraphrase the words of the hussar general in the Han Dynasty, how can the Huns be home before they are destroyed, and now we are still surrounded by tigers on our Chinese pillows, and I don't want to start a family first." ”

"So, it's someone who doesn't have a heart?"

"Nope."

This is easier to do, if you don't have a sweetheart, who is not married if you marry? What's more, the Manzhi of the Zhang family, he has seen it, regardless of his net worth, his appearance is also very compatible with his eldest son.

I'll talk about this after the New Year.

Thinking of what his wife had entrusted him, Li Lanfeng didn't say much, chatted with Bo Ol about something else at will, and covered up the topic.

Wan Chun chased Li Chengxu to the backyard, it was cold, many flowers and trees in the back garden had withered, and only a few evergreen plants were still glowing with a little green. Li Chengxu was standing there with his forehand stroking the loquat tree, heard footsteps, turned around and saw that it was Wanchun, and said, "Why is Nan Nan here?" Is there something wrong? ”

Wanchun took two steps forward and said: "It's nothing, it's rare that grandpa has time at home today, I'll come over and talk to grandpa." ”

"I'm an old man, what do I have to say." Li Chengxu smiled, seeing that her face was pale by the wind in the yard, and said, "Go back, it's very cold here." ”

"Grandpa......"

Wanchun wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then plucked up the courage to say, "Grandpa, she ...... I mean grandma, she'...... Do you look like me? My mother always said that I didn't follow her much, but more like my grandmother. ”

"Hmm......" Li Chengxu turned around and looked at Wanchun seriously, as if it had been a long time before he came back to his senses, patted Wanchun's head and said, "It's probably a little similar, but you are a little thinner than her, you have to eat more, so that your body can be better." ”

When Min Min was seriously ill, he couldn't wear a jade chuan on his thin wrist, and the doctors said that if he continued to lose weight like this, he would not be saved. He always forced her to eat more, but she couldn't eat anymore, she looked at him, like they had just married a long time ago, and gently called him "Fengye", telling him that she should not be sad after she left, but how could he not be sad? obviously said that she wanted to grow old together, how could she let him live on his own?

"Min Min ......" Looking at the face in front of him, Li Chengxu only felt a faint flower in front of him, vaguely like seeing an old man, he stretched out his hand to hold Wanchun, but the patterns in front of him became more and more complicated, and even his body kept shaking with the patterns.

Minmin.

He straightened his hand, but he didn't touch the person who only appeared in the dream, but he heard an exclamation in his ear, and the whole person was unconscious. (To be continued.) )
