Chapter 286: Winter Solstice

(Tomorrow's Meat Play)

In the afternoon, Qiu Yun really went out alone, bought a house, and bought a car; In the words of Shuai Xiaobing, this guy really dares to think and dare to do it, in the eyes of ordinary people, buying a house and a car is a major event related to the whole family, Qiu Yun actually said that he would go. However, Qiu Yun also has the confidence to do so, after all, buying a house and a car has only cost less than one-tenth of her total assets, and now Qiu Yun's annual rate of return on these funds is almost an apartment-style house. And Shuai Xiaobing and Lin Xuefei's principle is that as long as Qiu Yun doesn't go out to make trouble, she can toss whatever she wants.

December 22 is the winter solstice every year, which is a very important day in both the East and the West. For the Chinese people, this day is to "burn gold" to worship their ancestors. Lin Xuefei's parents have been in the provincial capital for many years, and they will not do any tricks on abnormal holidays like the winter solstice. But this is not the case at Shuai Xiaobing's house.

Gao Guizhi is a very traditional woman in her bones, if she lived hundreds of years ago, she would definitely be a model of women. Gao Guizhi has little education, she was born in the countryside and grew up in the countryside. Decades ago, when the whole country was starving due to natural and man-made disasters, Gao Guizhi's family was dying, but at that time, there was no food allocated by the county, and the county leaders did not allow anyone to flee the famine. Gao Guizhi's father didn't follow the villagers to dig up the graves of the dead and eat the flesh of the dead to survive, and the family saw that it was about to be extinct, so he was ruthless and secretly sent out a pair of youngest children.

The third watch walked dozens of miles of mountain roads in the middle of the night before he reached the train station, and then secretly asked Gao Guizhi to hold his younger brother and climb onto a freight wagon that stopped to add water, and then howled and watched the train swallow thick black smoke and steam and drive towards the unknown distance. Gao Guizhi fell asleep on the wagon of pulling coal with his younger brother in his arms, and he didn't know how long he slept or how far the train had run. This year, Gao Guizhi was still in elementary school.

It was a city she didn't know what city it was, all she knew was that the train station was many times bigger than the small station in the mountains, and there were railroad tracks everywhere. Penniless and without food, Gao Guizhi held his younger brother and begged at the station, but was soon caught by the uniformed police at the station police station.

In those days, begging was a way to blacken the country. Gao Guizhi recalled the hungry villagers in his hometown, kowtowed to the policemen with tears, and kept saying that he forgot where his hometown was, and he didn't want to return to his hometown when he died. At that time, the police at the station knew best what the situation was in the whole country, and they couldn't bear to watch the little girl and a child who was still sucking her fingers go back and starve to death. So everyone sat down together and figured out what to do.

In the end, I really figured out a solution. A policeman has a relative who once beat the US imperialists on the Bangzi Peninsula, but he was injured, and after his body recovered, his married life was no problem. Nowadays, it is reasonable to raise a child, but there is only one person. Gao Guizhi thought about it and knew that it was his younger brother in his arms that people were interested in, but he was embarrassed to say it clearly. In the end, Gao Guizhi left his younger brother, and after kowtowing to his benefactor, he carried the four steamed buns given by his benefactor and secretly climbed onto the train.

In the end, when Gao Guizhi turned over the wagon, he was faced with a huge mine, where Gao Guizhi was collectively adopted by the entire mine and stayed in the canteen to help with some chores. Later, when he grew up, Gao Guizhi married a production captain in the mine, and later, gave birth to Shuai Xiaobing. Then her husband died, her in-laws died one after another, and she worked hard to bring up the handsome soldiers.

Gao Guizhi, who has experienced the joys and sorrows of life, has already seen it, especially after Shuai Xiaobing became a soldier, Gao Guizhi, who was idle with his pension, returned to his hometown with his memory, and after hearing the news that the village that gave birth to himself finally starved to death, and now only the broken walls are left, Gao Guizhi knelt in the hotel and cried.

Shuai Xiaobing must be present, and Lin Xuefei must also come.

Gao Guizhi first set up a brazier at the door, burned two packets of tin foil folded ingots, and then returned to the house. Inside the house, Lin Xuefei commanded the handsome soldiers to set up tables and chairs. Gao Guizhi entered the kitchen and first served the boiled braised fish, braised pork, fried tofu and other "essential offerings" for ancestors one after another, and then beckoned Lin Xuefei to help serve the meal. Shuai Xiaobing came over to help serve the rice, and after the rice was put on the table, a pair of chopsticks were inserted into each bowl, which was considered to be the table being served. Then it's time to ask for tablets and incense sticks.

After a series of "projects" were over, Lin Xuefei lit incense and candles, burned some paper money, and took out a futon from under the table and set it up. Gao Guizhi took the lead, knelt down on the futon and kowtowed, muttering silently in his mouth. After Gao Guizhi got up, Shuai Xiaobing and Lin Xuefei glanced at each other, as if they were a little embarrassed.

"You two together!" Gao Guizhi said calmly, "There are cushions on the sofa. ”

Lin Xuefei hurriedly took the cushions on the sofa and put them on the ground, knelt down and kowtowed with Shuai Xiaobing. Gao Guizhi muttered in his mouth: "Ancestors and ancestors, your grandson Xiaobing has kowtowed to you, and your granddaughter-in-law Fei Fei came for the first time today, and she also kowtowed to your ancestors......"

Hearing this, Lin Xuefei's heart throbbed. Yes, isn't it just for this day that my mother has been holding on for so many years? Now, his son, who has become a daughter-in-law, took the initiative to come back, and seriously kowtowed to his ancestors, finally fulfilling his mother's wish. What to do next...... It should be to work hard with Xiaobing to have children and add to this family......

Kowtow and get up, and then set up the second table. This is also a matter of no choice, originally only used to put the handsome soldiers on the paternal side, but the maternal Gao family has been extinct, and at the festival ceremony, only the two families can be placed once. After the second kowtow, the family began to clean up the table. For Shuai Xiaobing, this is all very new, he has never experienced this. Before the excitement had passed, Gao Guizhi brought out a table of good dishes from the kitchen.

"Little soldier, Fei Fei," Gao Guizhi suddenly said, "Pick a good day, you can get the certificate back first!" ”

Shuai Xiaobing and Lin Xuefei were dumbfounded at the same time, holding their rice bowls and not knowing how to answer.

Gao Guizhi said: "Don't think about it, I just want to give Xiaobing's grandparents an explanation, and when you have a son in the future, the task of my life will be completed......"

"This ......" Lin Xuefei groaned for a moment, and her eyes glanced at Shuai Xiaobing.

Shuai Xiaobing thought about it and nodded: "Okay!" Fei Fei, what do you mean? ”

"You can do it!" Lin Xuefei pretended to be calm and said, "In this regard, I better listen to you." ”

"What are the good days?" Shuai Xiaobing asked rhetorically, "New Year's Day?" Spring Festival? If people want to take a holiday, they will not be given a ...... for a certificate."

"Do you want me to say it...... The day of receiving the certificate is calculated according to the solar calendar, so it is easy to remember," Gao Guizhi proposed, "When we do happy events in the future, I will find a master to look at the date, what do you say?" ”

"Good!" Shuai Xiaobing thought about it, asked Lin Xuefei's opinion, and said, "Why don't we get the certificate on the 31st of this month?" I got married on December 31, and the next day I got married for two years......"

Lin Xuefei was dumbfounded: "Can it still be counted like this?" ”

"Liven up the atmosphere!" Shuai Xiaobing smiled and quickly buried his head to pick up rice.

After lunch, Lin Xuefei helped clean up the table and wash the dishes and chopsticks, and Shuai Xiaobing stood alone in the room looking out the window, feeling a lot of emotion. Just when he said the No. 31 certificate, he even felt that he seemed to be too hasty. Thinking about it now, it is not rash at all, on the contrary, it is a choice that I must and will definitely make. In this life, I'm afraid that Lin Xuefei will not marry.

Now when he re-examines his original self from a man's perspective, Shuai Xiaobing has discovered a lot. He found that if Lin Xuefei was really regarded as a brand new woman, then her advantages and disadvantages were obvious. Its advantage is that it is tall, middle-to-high-looking, and well maintained from childhood to adulthood, as for academic qualifications...... Don't mention it.,Personality is the most compatible with me anyway.,And never play a little temper.。 There are also many shortcomings, mainly in terms of living habits, many men's living habits still can't be changed, the most obvious is shaking legs, smoking. She didn't dare to smoke real cigarettes, but every time she got the pen, she always reflexively stuffed it into her mouth with her fingers. This is a very fatal action, this habitual action of holding a pen has now become Lin Xuefei's new signature.

Not to mention other aspects, dressing is always a simple set of combinations, as long as it is not to work, wear it to wear either jeans, or slacks, sneakers all year round, and it is cold in winter, and finally I don't wear sneakers, and I just change to tactical boots......

Although he acts manly, he does things in a measured manner. Such a woman is not the best, but she is certainly not at the bottom. In the past, the self with "education" could only be regarded as a vase, but now this "self" without education is much more capable. Anyway, it's no problem to live like this.

There is still a week before the "certificate", and your single career is coming to an end? But it's also good, I'm really looking forward to living with "myself" legally.

"What are you thinking?" Lin Xuefei, who was finished with her busy work, dried her hands, walked into the room, stood beside Shuai Xiaobing, and looked at him sideways.

"I'm wondering......" Shuai Xiaobing paused, bent down to open the drawer of the desk, took out a small box from it, opened it, and revealed the diamond ring inside, "I'm wondering if I can help you put it on now." Or the day when you keep it for your license. ”

"Just put it on?" Lin Xuefei blinked her eyes twice, "There is no marriage proposal ceremony or anything like that?" You always have to get down on one knee, right? ”

(The two protagonists are about to usher in the end of the year, and the foreshadowing of the book is complete, and then it breaks out one after another.) The development of the plot is definitely 'never expected'. )
