In the cold wind, Zhao Yang and Lin Xueqi stood quietly in front of a tombstone.

"Zhao Yang, this is grandpa?" Lin Xueqi asked softly. There was a small black-and-white photograph embedded on the tombstone.

"Hmm!" Zhao Yang nodded, and then silently took out various offerings from the bag on the side and placed them in front of the tombstone one by one.

Lin Xueqi didn't say anything more, and stepped forward to help Zhao Yang take out the sacrifices and put them away.

"Grandpa, Xiao Yang has come to see you, you haven't been here for so long, you won't blame Xiao Yang, right......?"

After placing all the sacrifices, Zhao Yang squatted in front of the tombstone and silently looked at the photo of his grandfather on the tombstone, his expression full of longing.

Lin Xueqi stood aside with Zhao Yang, quietly, without disturbing Zhao Yang......

The two had been in the cemetery for more than two hours before Zhao Yang stood up, took a deep breath, and said to Lin Xueqi beside him: "Okay, Xueqi, let's go back." ”

"Hmm!" Lin Xueqi nodded silently. walked out of the cemetery with Zhao Yang behind.

Back at home, Zhao Yang's mood seemed to be slightly better, not as lonely and melancholy as a few days ago.

Lin Xueqi thought that day Zhao Yang said that he would go with his grandfather to buy New Year's goods every time the New Year came before, and seeing that it would be Chinese New Year's Eve in two days, so on this day Lin Xueqi took Zhao Yang to the market to buy New Year's goods.

Although there are only two of them in the family, I'm afraid no one will come to visit the New Year in the New Year, but buy some New Year's goods back, and then make the house, paste couplets or something, how much is it a bit of a New Year's flavor, isn't it? It doesn't seem so lonely for the New Year.

"Come, Zhao Yang, take this bacon and sausage. I'll go over there and find some couplets! Lin Xueqi handed over a large bag of bacon and sausages to Zhao Yang, and was about to go to the place where the couplets were sold on the other side to buy a few couplets back.

At this time, Zhao Yang can be said to be carrying a large bag in his hand. I almost had two bags around my neck.

"Xueqi, you don't need to buy couplets, you can just help me buy a few large pieces of red paper for writing couplets. I'll just go back and write it myself, and I'll be idle left and right. Zhao Yang hurriedly called out to Lin Xueqi.

Hearing Zhao Yang say that he wanted to write his own couplet, Lin Xueqi hurriedly turned around and replied with a grin: "Okay! Then I'll buy you red paper to write couplets! By the way, how many do you want to buy? ”

Zhao Yang thought for a moment and said, "It's good to have two." Two should be enough! ”

"Well, okay! Then I'll buy it. You're waiting for me here for a while! After Lin Xueqi finished speaking, she ran to buy red paper.

After a while, Lin Xueqi walked back with two rolled red papers in her hands, "Okay." See what else to buy? If not, let's go back! ”

Zhao Yang looked at the things in his hand, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "There are still fireworks and firecrackers, hehe!" But that thing is sold at the entrance of the community. Just buy it when you go back to it. ”

Although fireworks and firecrackers are now banned in many big cities, the community where Zhao Yang's family is located is not in the city center. There's not much control over that.

"Good! Let's go back! Lin Xueqi held the roll of red paper in one hand. Jumping up to Zhao Yang, he looked at the pile of things in Zhao Yang's hand, and couldn't help but say, "Come, I'll help you get some." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took several bags of things from Zhao Yang's hands.

Two days later, it was finally Chinese New Year's Eve. Early in the morning, Zhao Yang and Lin Xueqi got up and cleaned the house inside and out. Tables, chairs, coffee tables, cabinets, and other things were wiped everywhere twice to make them clean.

Then Lin Xueqi helped Zhao Yang cut out the red paper he bought that day, and then stood aside and watched Zhao Yang write couplets.

This couplet only needs to be pasted at the door, but not at home. At most, it is to put the word 'Fu' on the door. Zhao Yang didn't have to write much.

For calligraphy with a brush. Zhao Yang's foundation is still very deep, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is 'everyone'. After all, after more than 500 years of experience in the 'Diyuan Immortal Land', in the leisure time of cultivation, I basically rely on 'qin, chess, calligraphy and painting' to soothe and relax.

Lin Xueqi next to him looked at the strong and powerful characters written by Zhao Yang on the couplet, and couldn't help but show a touch of amazement, and couldn't help but praise: "Zhao Yang, I didn't expect your calligraphy to be so good!" I feel so much better than all the teachers I taught when I used to practice calligraphy! ”

Lin Xueqi had also practiced calligraphy for a period of time before, but her skills were naturally far from being comparable to Zhao Yang. It's just that there is some eyesight, and it can be seen that Zhao Yang's calligraphy skills are very profound.

Zhao Yang couldn't help but turn his head to look at her when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's okay." I haven't written in a while, and it's a little jerky. ”

"Come on, why don't you write a few big words too?" Zhao Yang smiled and handed the brush in his hand to Lin Xueqi.

Zhao Yang has already written a couplet to be pasted. There's still a lot of red paper left, and I'm free at this time anyway, so it's better to write and relax.

Lin Xueqi bit her lower lip and said, "Okay." But what I write isn't as good as yours, and you can't laugh at me! ”

Zhao Yang nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, I promise not to laugh at you." Unless you write like an earthworm, haha! ”

"you, you write like an earthworm! It's good that people have learned calligraphy for two years before. Even if you're not as powerful as you, you can barely see people! ”

Saying that, Lin Xueqi took the brush from Zhao Yang's hand, and then dipped it in ink on the inkstone on the side, "What should I write?" ”

Lin Xueqi seemed to be muttering to herself, tilted her head and thought for a while, and caught a glimpse of Zhao Yang writing the couplet of haode on the side, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "There is!" Hehe, I'll just copy the couplet you wrote! ”

After that, Lin Xueqi immediately picked up the pen and wrote on the red paper that Zhao Yang helped her spread......

Zhao Yang watched from the side, and when he saw the words written by Lin Xueqi, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Not bad, not bad!" Looks like you've got a bit of a foundation! ”

Lin Xueqi's handwriting is naturally not as majestic and powerful as Zhao Yang's writing, it looks quite handsome and elegant, and you can know that it is a girl's handwriting at a glance.

Hearing Zhao Yang's praise, Lin Xueqi couldn't help grinning, squinted her eyes, and hummed arrogantly with her lips curled: "Of course!" I don't know who this girl is. It's not as good as you, but it's not bad! ”

The two of them took turns writing calligraphy while frolicking, and they didn't stop until they used up all the papers on the table.

"Okay, I'll go and put this couplet at the door first, and you can clean up this table!" Zhao Yang said.

"Uh-huh! I'll leave it to me. Lin Xueqi nodded hurriedly, and then started to clean up the brushes, inkstones, and pieces of paper on the table.

Zhao Yang took the pair of haode couplets he had written at the beginning and moved a chair to the door to paste it.

After a while, Zhao Yang pasted the couplet, looked at it in the aisle at the door, and saw that it was not crooked. Then he clapped his hands with satisfaction and walked back to the house with a chair.

As soon as he put down his chair, Zhao Yang heard a ringtone of his mobile phone, but it was not his mobile phone ringing, but Lin Xueqi's.

"Xueqi. Your phone rings. Zhao Yang opened his mouth and shouted to Lin Xueqi, who was still cleaning up the table over there.

"Oh, oh. Good! Lin Xueqi hurriedly responded. Hurry up to the coffee table in the living room and pick up the phone to take a look. Then the phone was answered.

"Hey, Auntie, are you looking for anything about me?" Lin Xueqi opened her mouth after answering the phone.

Immediately, a woman's voice came from the phone, "What's the matter?" You girl, you don't even say a word to your aunt if you don't go home during the winter vacation. Or just now your mother called me and told me that you didn't go back, and let me take care of you here before you know that you are still in H City!. ”

Lin Xueqi saw that Zhao Yang was looking at her on the side, and couldn't help but secretly stick out her tongue, and hurriedly smiled and said to the phone: "Hehe." Auntie, that, aren't people afraid of disturbing you and your uncle? Besides, I'm so old that I can take care of myself! ”

"You still say! I won't go back for the New Year. I didn't come to my aunt to play after such a long vacation, and I didn't even have a phone call. Don't play with your aunt, today on Chinese New Year's Eve, hurry over to my aunt's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, this year's New Year will be spent at my aunt's place. ”

"Uh...... Auntie, don't do it! That, I also have friends here, and I told my friends that I would spend this year with him, and if I go to you, it would be so bad to leave others alone. Lin Xueqi hurriedly said.

"Friends? Male or female? If you have a friend, then ask your friend to come over with your aunt, is it possible that your aunt is still missing this pair of dishes and chopsticks? Well, it's such a cold day, I'll let your uncle drive over to pick you up later, so you don't have to take a ride over! ”

Lin Xueqi's aunt couldn't help but say something on the phone.

When Lin Xueqi heard this, she couldn't help but look at Zhao Yang in her eyes, and said to the phone with a bitter face: "Auntie, no, my friend is embarrassed to go." Besides, it's not good to bother my uncle to come all the way to pick us up. ”

"Excuse me? What's so embarrassing about that. It's better to treat it as if it were your own home. You girl don't have to talk to your aunt, so it's decided, I'll let your uncle pick you up later. By the way, you're still living in the same place, right? ”

"Auntie, you wait a while, I'll get something and then I'll tell you."

After speaking, Lin Xueqi hurriedly took the phone away from her cheek, looked at Zhao Yang for help, and said, "What should I do?" My aunt insisted that I go to her for the New Year! ”

The sound of Lin Xueqi's mobile phone was quite loud just now, and Zhao Yang stood on the side again, and basically heard it.

Seeing Lin Xueqi asking for help from himself, Zhao Yang couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and said, "You can watch it yourself, or you can go to your aunt's place for the New Year, and I'll spend it at home by myself." ”

As soon as Zhao Yang's words came out, Lin Xueqi immediately shouted: "Don't!" I said I wanted to celebrate the New Year with you. I don't want to leave you here alone. Otherwise, why don't you really come with me to my aunt's place? ”

Zhao Yang looked at the house, shook his head, and said, "No, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I want to stay at home." ”

Zhao Yang didn't say much, but Lin Xueqi guessed what Zhao Yang meant when she looked at his expression. Obviously, he was thinking about the scene of celebrating the New Year with his grandfather in this house before, so he didn't want to go anywhere else. (To be continued......)
