Chapter 18 The Long Wind Travels
On the night when my father came back from a business trip, Aunt Qiu Yun must have been anxious to tell the happy experience of the past two days by the pillow, and slept later than usual, and the next morning, Ge Hailiu had the earliest chance to get up for the first time.
Aunt Qiu Yun and her father finished washing, and when they walked into the living room one after the other, they saw that Ge Hailiu had already cooked breakfast and served it to the dining table, she stood far away and said very embarrassedly: "Sin, sin, Auntie wants to review, let my Hailiu work hard today!" Ge Hailiu replied, "I don't know if it's delicious or not." So he hurriedly set up the stool first. But as soon as the two of them approached the table, their father suddenly said: "Oh, Qiu Yun, this is the beginning of spring, and next Tuesday will be the Spring Festival, and after breakfast, you see what fresh food to prepare, our family has rushed to Changfeng to visit the family, presumably they miss you very much." ”
As soon as his father finished speaking, Aunt Qiu Yun's throat tightened, and she only shouted, "Brother Daren!" Then he hugged his father tightly with joy and sorrow, and tears kept flowing down, but he choked up and couldn't speak.
"Qiu Yun," the father stroked Aunt Qiu Yun's shoulders and back, and said in an easy-going and warm tone, "You are just too emotional. The bride has been a bride for so long, she should have gone back to see it a long time ago. If we wait until the Spring Festival to go, it will be the end of the year, and even if we are not blamed, we will feel deeply guilty in our hearts. Let's be happy first, you see that the scalded rice noodles are about to catch up with your craft, let's all sit down and taste it. ”
"Hmm." As soon as Aunt Qiu Yun let go of her father, she saw that Ge Hailiu had taken a clean towel from the bathroom, so she said happily: "Hailiu, Daddy moved Auntie to tears, but you made Auntie want to be moved again!" ”
Aunt Qiu Yun's family lives on a hill in Huanchun Village, Changfeng Commune, fifteen or sixteen miles away from Siyuan Middle School. Originally, his father was going to carry Aunt Qiu Yun and Ge Hailiu on a bicycle, he probably considered that the narrow sand and gravel road was still extremely uneven, and he couldn't bear to let Aunt Qiu Yun regard the precious "Phoenix" all the way to bump and endure hardships, Ge Hailiu pushed the car from the room to the small courtyard, but he changed his mind, and said with two reasons that were not reasonable: "No need to ride, let's walk." One is to appear sincere, the second is to see more scenery, three is that although today has been spring, but the temperature is still quite low, I ride a bicycle will be warmer and warmer, but the two of you will sit more and more cold, and, come back early is also to guard the stove. Qiu Yun, what do you say? ”
"Brother Daren said yes, but the things you bring can only be taken by Xiaomei and Hailiu." Aunt Qiu Yun knew her father's thoughts very well, however, she did not break it or raise objections, Ge Hailiu was naturally a minority obeying the majority, and was secretly happy, so that she could play all day.
Fifteen or sixteen miles, if it is a straight road, it seems to be close, and it will feel very far when walking, but walking on the winding path in the mountainous area, it is much closer than imagined, but the things on the back seem to be heavier and heavier, and the ones carried are heavier and heavier. Therefore, Ge Hailiu understood why Aunt Qiu Yun didn't allow her father to take things too, not because his father had no labor, and he was in good health, but because he loved someone, he should start from the most neglected small things. To put it poetically, it is that once love has happened, it should be infinitely extensive.
After Aunt Qiu Yun and Ge Hailiu followed their father to leave Siyuan, they walked the avenue for a while, and then copied the path, although there was a feeling of climbing the hill, but they only walked for two hours, and they arrived at Changfeng Commune. Because it has been closed in recent years, although there is no market today, there are many people selling and shopping on the streets of the commune. Some of the villagers are holding two chickens and ducks, some are carrying ten or eight eggs or duck eggs, some are spreading plastic sheets on the ground, and they are all waiting to be sold for money, so that they can buy red paper, New Year's pictures and firecrackers at the supply and marketing cooperative. The smiling faces set off a lively scene, which makes people think - ah, what a good New Year!
It's the Chinese New Year, Aunt Qiu Yun has returned to her hometown, and nothing can make her happy and happy more than this. Back in her hometown, she naturally had a lot of acquaintances, and without waiting to ask, she happily introduced to people: "This is my lover, and this is our son, all of whom will accompany me back for the New Year!" ”
My father bought a few more items and firecrackers on the street of the commune, and continued his journey to the village of Tsuna. Aunt Qiu Yun wanted to take over the things that he had just bought from his father, but he said with a smile: "Not to mention that the rest of the road is not bad for me, but I am tired, and this performance has to be earned." You can't let me go to the New Year empty-handed, even if the family doesn't mind, but I'm very afraid of letting the neighbors see, or words or words, or anger or scolding, the uncle surnamed Song is not an 'iron rooster', so stingy that he doesn't take some gifts to thank the rare flower of alder for a thousand years, I don't know what Qiu Yun values about him! ”
Aunt Qiu Yun's cheeks flushed, and she said shyly, "I value the silly aunt, and I have already given my heart to Sister Zhu. He led the song and said other things loudly as he walked, so as to hide the joy and emotion in his heart.
As mentioned earlier, Aunt Qiu Yun's family lives on a hill near Huanchun Village in Changfeng Commune, although it is only spring today, the trees on the mountain have already sprouted, and some mountain flowers are also blooming sporadically, but I don't know what, it's going to be the New Year, and there is always a bleak feeling here, but because of the sudden arrival of three uninvited guests, who are carrying large bags of New Year's goods in their hands, the residents here are envious and jealous.
After seeing his family one by one, offering filial piety for the New Year, and setting off firecrackers to announce the good news, his father said to Aunt Qiu Yun: "Qiu Yun, don't bear it, cry if you want to cry, cry out your infinite thoughts, and the long-term depression in your heart will be released." ”
Before his father's words fell, Aunt Qiu Yun had just called out "Abba, Auntie, Brother,...... and she was already lying on the door that blocked the present and the next life. For the first time, Ge Hailiu saw Aunt Qiu Yun crying so sadly and emotionally, so that the "doormen" of the other world frequently beat their chests, hoping to beat the "blood" of their hearts out of their eyes to show sympathy. The father lit a cigarette, turned around and inhaled it vigorously to suppress the emotions surging in his heart, and Ge Hailiu hugged Aunt Qiu Yun at a loss, and kept repeating sadly and monotonously: "Auntie, don't cry, grandparents and uncles know that we are back!" Auntie, don't cry anymore, you are the best person in the world, grandparents and uncles know that we are back! ”
Aunt Qiu Yun cried for a long time, and the alders who came from the ice age season cried with her, and the stream flowing from the snow-capped mountains also screamed with her, and the sky watched her cry into a tearful person. Aunt Qiu Yun was tired of crying, and finally sobbed like a child and snuggled up to her father's chest, and asked her father to wipe her tears with a handkerchief. The comfort from her father was really as effective as the "elixir", and it didn't take long for her to speak contentedly and shyly: "Thank you, Brother Daren, my little sister is fine, if it goes on like this, the sea will be red-eyed." ”
My father said first, "It's okay." When Aunt Qiu Yun let go of him, she spoke again: "Mourn my parents, I was tired." His eyes are red, and I'm afraid it's still hard to understand why the phoenix's tears can heal. ”
Although it was the first time that Ge Hailiu heard that the phoenix has tears and can heal wounds, these two poems should have nothing to do with the phoenix, but there is still some impression of their origin, so he said on the one hand, "My father gave birth to me, and my mother bowed to me." If you want to repay the virtue, you will kowtow here! "While kowtowing in front of the grave that Aunt Qiu Yun wept for."
Perhaps it is the first time that Ge Hailiu has called Aunt Qiu Yun his mother through poetry, although it is still very different from directly calling "Grandma", but in this situation, it is very touching. Because, she just cried once, and immediately stepped forward to hug Ge Hailiu and cried: "Hailiu, my Hailiuer, Auntie can't live without her careful liver!" You're everything to Auntie and Daddy! Woohoo......"
