Chapter 285: Worship
The end of the year is coming, and Ansheng Group is no exception.
The management and staff up and down, except for a few who remain on duty. The rest were on vacation and went back to their respective homes for the New Year.
Gu Cheng found that he had suddenly become very busy and had a lot of things to deal with.
Shen Ting's parents treat him as a son-in-law, and they must visit him during the New Year. Bai Xin's family also has to take a look. There is also Huā Rui, a personal bodyguard, who gets along day and night, and Gu Cheng feels the need to visit her home. Not to mention the only relative, uncle's family.
In addition, some relationships still have to be greeted by phone. For example, literature teacher Jiang Nanchun, Pi Laogen who plays cricket, Zhang Tong's family who went to another country, and Lian Yaxin, a godsister who is far away in Hong Kong, and so on. Although these people can't get together, Gu Cheng has always been in touch, and he has to greet a few times during the New Year and holidays to talk about the current situation.
Sent Shen Ting and watched her get on the plane, Gu Cheng returned to Quanxian.
Jiangcheng's companies are closed for the holidays, and he should also go home for the New Year.
"Huā Rui, what time are you going to go home? I want to visit your house. ”
On the way to Xia's house, Gu Cheng asked.
Huā Rui shook her head and replied, "Boss, don't worry, I just went back some time ago." ”
Seeing that she was always hostile, she wanted to delay it for a few days.
Of course, Gu Cheng would not believe Huārui's prevarication. When you go home for the New Year, who is not in a hurry.
When I arrived at Xia's house, I happened to meet two sisters wiping sweat and tidying up their belongings.
Gu Cheng saw the dust on his sister's white skin, and hurriedly stopped: "Sister Bingning, what are you two doing?" Move to find someone, do something yourself. ”
"No, it'll be fine right away." Xia Bingning wiped her forehead with her sleeve, and there were more mud marks: "Gu Cheng, look, I tie everything with a rope, and I will put it in your car later." Just pull it. When Gu Cheng heard this, he looked at Xia Zining who was delighted, and suddenly felt funny, and sighed helplessly: "You guys." How do you get the building? You two carry it up? ”
Xia Bingning was stunned for a moment, and then thought that the building she was going to live in was very difficult to move.
"Can't you help?" Xia Bingning was indignant.
"Don't, you can spare me. I'm looking for someone. Gu Cheng waved his hand, he didn't want to be a coolie.
Called Cai Zhu, Cai Zhu was very familiar with the local situation in Quanxian County, and introduced several porters. The four of them sat in the room drinking water, and after waiting for a long time, the moving company with a small truck came.
The Xia sisters sat leisurely behind the Lincoln navigator and waited for the new house to move into the house.
Xia Bing commanded excitedly, and asked people to put the furniture properly. Then Gu Cheng checked out.
The four of them were busy all day long, and when it was almost dark, the new house was arranged.
Bing Ning let out a long breath, leaned back on the sofa, and put his feet on the coffee table without an image: "I'm tired, I'll never move again." 、,
Xia Zining was cared for, and she didn't do heavy work, so she was smiling and pouring tea and water, serving a few people.
Although Huā Rui was also bitter, she didn't care, holding the water cup in her hand and drinking it silently.
Gu Cheng came to Xia Bingning and squeezed into the sofa, and also stretched his waist: "Oh, Sister Bingning, my body hurts so much, you help me rub it." ”
Rascal, I still want you to rub it for me. Xia Bingning rubbed Gu Cheng on his shoulder and complained.
"Okay!"
When Gu Cheng heard this, he immediately turned over and jumped up, moving his fingers to let out a happy smile.
"Sister Bingning, I'm here." "Die! Yes! ”
Xia Bingning was originally an unintentional sentence, but it conveyed a different effect. Her heart trembled, and she was won by Gu Cheng.
The stiff body, once touched by Gu Cheng's fingers, became paralyzed, without any strength.
Xia Bingning blushed, tilted his head to the side, and enjoyed Gu Cheng's massage.
Huā Rui looked at it with interest a few times, and felt that her face was red and her ears were red. And Xia Zining was a little happy, she had recently tried her best to promote her sister to get close to Gu Cheng, and finally saw the signs.
The atmosphere in the room was ambiguous, and after a long time, Gu Cheng let go of his hand and greeted with concern: "Sister Bingning, how do you feel?" Is it better? Bing Ning's voice was like a mosquito, and he responded slightly, and he didn't see his usual fierce expression at all.
"Hehe, that's good." Gu Cheng smiled with satisfaction, and looked around the room again: "It's time to eat,
We went out to eat together. ”
After working all day, even Xia Zining, who was very simple, didn't say anything about cooking, not to mention, the vegetables hadn't been bought yet. The proposal to eat out was unanimously adopted. ,
The center of the county is prosperous and prosperous. Even though the year is a little sluggish, there are many restaurants and hotels with their doors open.
I found a lot of family members and asked for a private room. After dinner, the four of them walked around the surroundings and browsed around the new house. Finally, he went to sit in the new house, and Gu Cheng went home with Huārui.
Two days later, on the 28th day of the lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year became stronger and stronger, the shops were closed, and there were festive scenes of lights everywhere.
Gu Cheng saw that there was nothing wrong, so he let Huārui go home and agreed to visit her house during the Chinese New Year.
On the twenty-ninth, Gu Cheng didn't stay in Quanxian County, said a word to Xia Bingning and Xia Zining, and ran back to Shanghu Town.
Uncle Gu Shan asked him to look back at his hometown in the village to worship his ancestors.
Let's go to the uncle's restaurant first.
The door of the restaurant is ajar, and it is obvious that it does not do business. Gu Cheng stopped Lincoln, and then walked in: "Uncle, aunt! ”
As soon as he opened the curtain leading to the courtyard, he heard the uncle inside asking, "Who is it?" "Uncle, it's me." Gu Cheng heard the sound and looked for it.
In the hall, the uncle's family of four was eating around the dining table.
"Chengwa." Seeing that it was Gu Cheng, the uncle hurriedly greeted: "Come into the house and sit, why did you come here quickly." "Uncle, aunt, Fei Ge Cheng said hello one by one before sitting down.
"There are few things to do these days, as soon as you say go to the grave, I will come back quickly."
"Well, you sit down for a while, and then you can go together after eating. Did you eat it?
Uncle nodded and ordered.
"Okay, you eat. I ate when I came. Gu Cheng replied casually.
Gu Cheng and Gu Fei, the two brothers often met because of official business, so he sat down, chatted with the elders for a few words, told his cousin Gu Xiu something, and then set off back to the village.
There were no female dependents, and the three gentlemen all got on the Lincoln Navigator, took the firecrackers they bought, burned paper incense, and went straight to Gu Village.
The graves of Gu Village are in a remote place, they are on a small hill, and the tombstones of Gu Cheng's ancestors are also scattered and piled up, and they are not together.
Follow the uncle first and go to the tomb of my grandparents.
The road is bumpy, and although you can still get on the road, the New Year is approaching, and the road is getting in the way of others.
So Gu Cheng drove the car into the farmland on the side of the road, and took up a little Mai Miao'er and walked forward.
"Next year's harvest will be good." Uncle Gu Shan looked at the surrounding farmland and sighed.
"You don't farm anymore, why do you care about this." Gu Fei pouted.
Gu Cheng walked silently, and the roar of firecrackers came from far and near, crackling.
The smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, the cold wind, and the crowds of grave people made his mood slowly heavy.
"1 Xiaocheng, let me tell you something. Your sister-in-law and I are planning to get married after the New Year. Gu Fei took a few steps and said suddenly.
"Oh? Okay, when exactly? Gu Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and then became happy.
My cousin's marriage was only successful because of myself. Seeing that he is now proud of both his career and love, Gu Cheng, as his dearest brother, is also very happy.
"It's not decided yet." The uncle took over: "When the time comes, let's see what Li Sha's family says." The family is going to buy a suite in the county seat first. Your brother is married, so he can't make a living. ”
Gu Cheng's salary for his cousin is not low, and his uncle is in business and saves money, so it is still okay to buy a down payment for a suite, and then let the two of them pay back slowly. It's a good thing that comes naturally.
"Do you want me to scrape together some money?" Gu Cheng asked.
"No, you don't." Uncle Gu Shan waved his hand resolutely: "Chengwa, you have to pay for it, and there is no place for the money that Uncle has saved." Give your brother a marriage, buy a house, and serve him to start a family, and your uncle will complete the task. Don't rob me of this. ”
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Gu Fei rubbed his forehead in embarrassment.
"Hehe, okay. Then I'll just sit at the table. Gu Cheng said with a smile.
While talking, the three of them came to the tomb of their ancestors.
Gu Cheng's hometown is called Gujiazhuang. The surname Gu is considered a big family in the village. Basically, those who turn around can be related to relatives in the end. Therefore, those who generally worship are direct blood relatives.
In Qingming, it was presided over by the old patriarch surnamed Gu, and the ancestor worship meeting was held from time to time.
Gu Cheng has five impressions in his memory, the first two times he was young and unimpressed, and the later ones have participated.
I only remember that there are crowds of people, and people from all over China and even overseas have arrived, and the scene is very grand. ,
Gu Cheng was also deeply impressed by the old patriarch's old face, wearing an ancient robe, and solemnly worshipping his ancestors with incense.
A high mound of earth, on which the spring huā of the yellow sè is already open, dotted with stars, adorned on the tomb, looking vibrant.
The black sè tombstone is engraved with the names of Gu Cheng's grandparents and their lives. This is a joint burial tomb.
"Dad, mother, my son has come to see you. I also brought two good grandchildren......"
The uncle's voice was heavy, and he reached out to pull the dead branches and weeds from the tomb, and at the same time told his parents.
Gu Fei and Gu Cheng were both standing honestly. Smoke and firecrackers were set off.
Firecrackers, thunder, rites, and a variety of fireworks brushes are released, removing the old and welcoming the new.
After the crackling sound, Gu Shan knelt down first, and the next two also knelt on the ground.
"It's not going to be the New Year soon, my son is worried about you, so hurry up and send some money over. Now that the family has money, they don't have to worry about food or clothing, and the two elders also enjoy happiness, all of which are big money. ”
Gu Shan chattered, lit the incense, lit the dark coin, and watched the flames go from vigorous to extinguished, until they turned into black ashes, and then ordered: "Kowtow." Under the order, Gu Cheng and Gu Fei didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly supported the ground with both hands, knocked on the door of his head, and knocked his head three times.
Don't dare to release the water at all.
"Let's go, see your parents."
After worshipping his parents, Uncle Gu Shan stood up and said to Gu Cheng.
Makoto nodded.
Walking in the other direction, Gu Cheng slowly recalled the voices and smiles of his parents in his mind.
Even after more than ten years, even when his parents left, he was still very young. But he is also unforgettable.
Mom cooks the meals, and Dad takes him out to play,.
The more he recalled, the more blurred the figures of his parents became, as if they were about to escape from his mind.
It is easy to find only with the help of fading photos. In those few photos in the past, I went to find a happy time for a family of three.
The distance is not far, passing a hundred-year-old locust tree, you will arrive at the tomb of Gu Cheng's parents.
Ordinary graves, ordinary tombstones, and the handwriting carved on the stone tablets make the hearts of those who look at it ache faintly.
The three of them were silent, facing the lush spring huā, each thinking about it.
Uncle Gu Shan sighed for a long time: "Hey, hard-working brother." Brother came to see you, and Xiaofei, Chengwa. ”
"Chengwa, he has the ability now and makes a lot of money. If only you were here. Gu Shan said, his voice gradually choked and unspeakable, and secretly wiped away tears.
Gu Cheng also felt that his eyes were moist and his nose was sour.
Seeing this, Gu Fei took the firecrackers himself, and the 100,000 firecrackers wrapped around the mound of the grave for a long time and placed them in a circle.
After the firecrackers roared, several salutes soared into the sky, and the lightning shook the cold winter day.
"Mom and Dad, my son has come to see you." Gu Cheng burst into tears, and there were countless words in his heart, but he couldn't come out of his throat, kneeling on the ground and sobbing.
Time has passed.
In the eyes of Gu Shan and Gu Fei, Gu Cheng was only separated from his parents for four or five years.
However, for Gu Cheng, he has been separated from his parents for more than ten years.
The hesitation of youth, the hardships of growing up, and the pride of being reborn.
The past was vivid, and thousands of emotions were flying, Gu Cheng only felt that the words were extremely heavy and he had forgotten to speak.
After crying happily for a long time, Gu Cheng barely came back to his senses.
Uncle said, "Chengwa will burn some money for your parents." ”
Gu Cheng didn't answer, took the bag of dark coins handed by Gu Fei, put it on the desk in front of the grave, pressed the lighter, and the flames were blazing.
Kneeling in a daze for a moment, the ashes were blown away by the wind, Gu Shancai said: "Go back, Chengwa, your parents must be very happy to know your current situation." ”
Cheng responded. was pulled by his cousin Gu Fei to stand.
The three of them, after going to the grave, slowly returned.
Gu Fei saw that he was depressed, so he said, "1 Xiaocheng, I'll drive." ”
With that, I got into the driver's seat.
Gu Cheng really didn't have any thoughts, so he gave the key to Gu Fei. Sit in the back with my uncle.
The wheels of the Lincoln Navigator turned. ,
When I arrived at my uncle's house, I sat for a while, and I ate early in the countryside. Dinner at about 3 p.m. After Gu Cheng ate, he had recovered his mind and said goodbye.
"Uncle, aunt, I'm back in the county."
Gu Shan's family kept a few words, and seeing his resolute attitude, they no longer stopped him.
Bidding farewell to Shanghu Town, Gu Cheng drove back to Quanxian County.
did not enter the house, but drove directly to the Xia family's new house.
"Gu Cheng, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as he entered the door, the careful Xia Zining noticed that he was a little abnormal, and hurriedly asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I just went back to the village to go to the grave."
Gu Cheng replied lightly.
Xia Bingning also walked out of the bedroom, and after hearing it, she asked, "Are you crying?" ”
Makoto nodded sheepishly.
Xia Zining grabbed his hand at once and held it in front of Xiōng: "Don't be too sad, next time, I'll accompany you." ”
Xia Bingning was depressed when she heard this, and said directly: "Zining, we generally don't allow women to go to the grave here." ”
"What about our family?" Xia Zining asked strangely: "Aren't we going to Qingming every year?" ”
"That's because there are only two girls left in our family."
Xia Bingning sighed with emotion in a gloomy tone: "If you don't go with me, there will be no one." There's no way, do you still think anyone can go to the grave? ”
"I don't understand." Xia Zining shook her head, Gu Cheng didn't want to talk about this topic, so he said, "Sister Bingning, the room is all cleaned up?"
Can you cook? ”
Bingning nodded.
Xia Zining also adjusted her mood and pulled Gu Cheng: "Big villain, look at my room." My sister took up the big "Huh! Leave me a small one. However, my room was much nicer than hers. ”
"Oh, hehe." Gu Cheng looked back and saw Xia Bingning shrugging helplessly, smiled easily, and happily followed Xia Zining's footsteps.
The ornaments in the boudoir create a sweet atmosphere, similar to that at Jiangcheng's home. It seems that Xia Zining just likes this style, and Gu Cheng also likes it, it is beautiful because of Xia Zining.
The chuáng is newly bought, the pure sè ze of ivory white, the material of genuine leather, soft and comfortable, the four pillars of the wide chuáng head are straight up, and the roof is scattered with layers of tulle, which shrouds the chuáng shop, and the hazy and hazy is very beautiful.
This is a noble, elegant princess chuáng in classical style.
Xia Zining smiled, stretched out her hand to open the curtain of powder, sat by the chuáng, and looked at Gu Cheng with joy, the shallow dimples on her cheeks were intoxicating.
"Big bad, come. Sit, sit. ”
Xia Zining patted the chuáng shop invitation.
"Okay, I'll feel it too." Gu Cheng sat up, and suddenly felt that the whole chuáng was shaking.
"It's good to play xìng." Gu Cheng commented with a smile.
"Well, it's soft, it's comfortable to fall asleep." Xia Zining happily exchanged experiences: "Also, the glass you let people install has a really good sound insulation effect." At night, when I look at the cars outside, I hardly hear any noise. ”
"As long as you feel good, I am willing to do anything." Gu Cheng also said excitedly.
"Big Bad." Xia Zining raised her hand to pat Gu Cheng for no reason, and suddenly looked at Gu Cheng very seriously.
Gu Cheng breathed in the fragrant air, and then saw Xia Zining's beautiful face, she raised her head slightly, and the red chún made people want to taste it.
"Zining." Gu Cheng shouted, and found that Xia Zining didn't move, and his heart was relieved.
Gu Cheng held Xia Zining's delicate arm with both hands, and bowed his head to Sakura.
Wet, sweet, fruity?
This is?
Zining smeared chún ointment.
Gu Cheng stopped his movements and looked at Xia Zining curiously. She never wears makeup, and only barely wears light makeup at a few company events. Although chún cream is nothing, she rarely uses it.
Xia Zining was a little embarrassed, and 1 explained in a low voice: "The house, there is heating, well, when I got up in the morning, I found that my mouth was dry." ”
"Oh. I'll just say, my Zining, how can I dress up blindly. You don't have to dress up, in my heart, you are the most beautiful. ”
Gu Cheng suddenly realized, the sweet words of not wanting money came out casually, and then the two turned happy, and Gu Cheng pouted again.
Chún tooth to tooth, there is great joy!
