Chapter Eighty-Seven: Returning Home The old man follows the old customs

The soil of the countryside gave her unique fragrance to her relatives who returned from the eastward journey again, and wrapped the group of three people deeply into their broad arms, allowing them to suck and enjoy the natural fresh air. Wu Hao greedily placed himself in it, rippling in the middle, and returning to this long-lost boundless wilderness, he felt that his whole body and mind were released. Along the way, he shouldered the burden on his shoulders, played the joyful Wu Tian to his heart's content, and enjoyed endless family fun. When the three of them approached their homes, it was already noon, and with the geese in the courtyard "quack, quack! There was a burst of jubilation, and the gray-haired grandmother came out early.

Approaching the familiar house, Wu Tian got out of Wu Hao's arms, and ran along the creekside path from a distance, heading home, "Old lady, come and see, my mother and I have brought my father back!" Seeing the old man from afar, Wu Tian stumbled over like a little magpie screaming.

"Oh, my little girl, you miss me. Beware, beware, slow down! Although the old man was blind, his heart was bright, and he heard Wu Tian shouting while running, and shouted loudly. But at this time, Wu Tian did not stop his steps, he was still running like flying, and he wanted to tell the old man the news of happiness in his heart as soon as possible.

When Wu Hao heard this, he hurriedly caught up, picked up Wu Tian, who was jumping like a fish, from the ground, came to the old man, and said to the old man with a ashamed face: "Grandma, I'm really sorry, during this time, you have always worried about me." ”

The old man approached Wu Hao, stretched out his trembling hand, gently stroked Wu Tian in Wu Hao's arms, and choked up: "Wu Hao, don't say anything now, it's good that you can come back." It's good to be back! He said. Dry eyes. There were a few tears in his eyes.

Zou Yujie walked slowly to the front, saw her grandmother crying with joy, endured the bitterness, and hugged the old man closely. The family, gathered together, without saying a word, slowly gathered into the house. After a while, smoke rose from the kitchen.

After eating. That Wu Hao and the others have been tired by boats and cars; The two of them were very sleepy and exhausted at this time. It just so happened that Wu Tian was also sitting there, his eyes were foggy, and he looked drowsy. In this way, Wu Hao said goodbye lightly, picked up Wu Tian, and went to bed to rest. After a while, the father and son fell asleep. Zou Yujie entered the room and saw that they were sleeping peacefully with each other, and her heart was filled with endless pleasure. It's been three years, and it's been bittersweet. Only she knows. At this time, I looked at the two most intimate and important people in my life. They were lying next to each other, and she really felt the existence of home, full of happiness and sweetness, and suddenly rippled on her face. At this moment, I only heard my grandmother gently enter the room and knock on the edge of the door with a cane. Zou Yujie knew that her grandmother must have something to do, so she reluctantly went out of the door and followed her into the side room.

After grandma sat down, Zou Yujie obediently took the stool and sat down. Grandma knew that Zou Yujie had entered the room, stretched out her arm with a smile, dangled and groped in front of Zou Yujie for a while, grabbed Zou Yujie's hand, and whispered: "Yujie, it's okay now, your family is finally reunited." ”

"Well, it's a reunion." Zou Yujie covered her grandmother's palm, squinted her eyes, and said sweetly.

"Or, you and Wu Hao choose a day, let's have a ceremony, what do you think?" Grandma asked Zou Yujie with a look of longing.

"Well, I discussed with him in the past two days, and I went to the town to get the certificate first, and then I did the gift." Zou Yujie lowered her head and said according to her grandmother's wishes. She knew that because of this, her grandmother had always been very anxious in her heart, and she had a child out of wedlock, which was a great shame for a family in a remote village.

"Yujie, to do this, we have to invite a witness first. What about this witness, I will find the village director if I think it is good? Grandma muttered, a rare glow on her face.

Zou Yujie saw that her grandmother was still worried about herself in her twilight years, and she was very guilty. After being silent for a while, she said to her old man: "Grandma, everything is done according to your wishes, and after I discuss it with Wu Hao, we will do it immediately." Don't worry, don't hurt yourself. ”

"Want, get. As long as you say yes, I'll be done. After speaking, he stood up tremblingly and said to Zou Yujie: "Okay, go and see if their father and son are covered tightly with quilts, be careful of catching a cold." As for you, you should be tired all the way, so let's rest with them. ”

Zou Yujie agreed, went out, didn't take two steps, and sure enough, she yawned for a long time, and tiredness followed. She slowly came to the east chamber, smoothed the sheets, lay down on the bed, and inadvertently, fell into a deep sleep.

After hearing that Zou Yujie went back to the room, the old man put up his cane, groped and quietly walked out of the door, and when he opened the courtyard door, he turned around and collided with someone. The old man was not shocked, and said in a low voice: "What kind of daredevil, who entered the door without saying hello, and almost knocked me down." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Old man, it's me, I'm Lao Cao! Seeing the old man's face full of anger, the village chief hurriedly held it up and said to the old man tremblingly.

When the old man heard this, he turned his anger into joy, and said in a loud voice: "Oh, it's the village director, okay, the old woman was about to look for you, but you came." This is really: Cao Cao, Cao Cao. Thinking of you, you are here, you are really our timely rain. Quick, quick, fast into the house. ”

Zhilu Dao Yujie's family was resting, and the old man had to bring the village director into the kitchen. Before he sat down, he said apologetically to the village director: "Village director, this Hazi has wronged you, Yujie and they just went home, and they were afraid of waking them up, so they had to let you go into the kitchen to talk, I'm sorry." ”

Before the old man could finish speaking, the village director stopped the old man and asked, "Old man, what kind of people are we, and we are still polite?" I came here because I heard that Yujie was back, but is this rumor true? ”

"It's back, it's back!" When the old man heard this, a smile like Qiu Ju bloomed on his face, and he said to the village director: "This time, their family is resting?" ”

When the village director heard this, he stood up and rubbed his hands and said, "It's fine now, if you don't come back, the school will be a mess." Jier thought of the "family" in the old man's words, and couldn't help but be stunned: "What do you call them 'the family is resting'?" Could it be that Wu Hao also went back together? ”

The old man pursed his lips and smiled, patted the back of the village director's hand and said, "I told you just now, I was about to look for you for this matter, did you forget?" ”

When the village director heard this, he became more and more confused, and said in his mouth: "Old man, if you have anything to say, you will tell the baby happily." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll tell you. It's like this, although these two babies have already gotten better, you also know the way. But I haven't had time to go through the formalities, so I think they have some time to spare, so please be the master and do their business, do you think? The old man stroked the village chief's hand but didn't lose it, and begged him.

"Oh, I thought it was such a great thing, such a happy event. Okay, I am duty-bound to Yujie's marriage, as long as they agree, you can rest assured, everything is on my body, and I will definitely handle it properly for them. When the village chief heard what the old man said, he understood it early, patted his chest with confidence, and promised her.

When the old man heard the village director's sincere words, he was even more overjoyed, and praised him repeatedly: "I know that the village director is a sincere person, and he does everything sincerely." With your words, my wife is relieved. ”

Knowing that Zou Yujie was resting, the village director couldn't bother him if he thought about it, so he turned around and prepared to go out. "Then when is this going to happen? Have you discussed it? As soon as he crossed the threshold, he seemed to suddenly remember something, stepped back, and asked the old man.

"Or the village director is careful, this matter, when we discuss it tomorrow, I will come to tell you in person, okay?" The old man said with his hands open, dangling in front of his eyes.

"Get, get!" The village director casually agreed, and it seemed inappropriate to think about it, so he quickly changed his words: "At your age, your eyes are not good, so I am embarrassed to let you run around in person." I look like this, when you have chosen a date, I will come back tomorrow for a while, do a thorough look, you always see, is this good? ”

"If you want it, you have to get it, or you cadres think about it thoroughly. My wife is really old, and I will ask you to be the master of the village for us, please. The old man bowed deeply to the door.

The village lord had seen such etiquette as an old man, so he jumped over, hurriedly held him, and blamed loudly: "Old man, you are going to kill the offspring, you have a big gift, I am a junior, I can afford it." ”

"I can afford it, I can afford it, I can afford it, and I can afford it." The old man said in a loud voice.

"Then your old man has a good rest at home, I still have some things in the village, and when I am busy, I will come back in two days to arrange Yujie's affairs." The village chief helped the old man to sit down, turned around and hurried out the door.

When Wu Hao and Zou Yujie got up, the old man happily informed the two of them of his arrangements, and Zou Yujie hadn't finished listening, so she was angry and anxious and said to her grandmother: "Grandma, what kind of age is this, what kind of witnesses are you invited to marry?" ”

When the old man heard this, he pretended to sink his face and scolded Zou Yujie: "What age is it? In the era, we must also act in accordance with the township rules and village contracts, which is indispensable. ”

Seeing that grandma was angry, Wu Hao hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Zou Yujie, and comforted in a low voice: "Grandma is also kind-hearted, grandma said that if this is done, we will do it according to grandma's wishes." ”

When grandma heard Wu Hao say this, a smile appeared on her face: "Well, it's still Wu Hao's knowledge." (To be continued......)
