Chapter 109: Qingming Festival
Time passed quietly inadvertently, and soon it was the Qingming Festival, since two days ago, the old man's mood was very low, and he looked bored, Yu Panpan's mood became heavy, for fear that the old man would have three long and two short.
On this day, Yu Panpan asked the teacher for leave, accompanied the old man to sweep the tomb, first went to the martyr's cemetery, the old man carefully wiped the tombstone with a handkerchief, reverently offered the flowers he personally selected, and looked at the photo of his deceased wife with tears streaming down his face.
"Madam, I want to call you an old woman, but, you will always be so young, I have become a bad old man, you are still so young, wife, I still call you wife, so kind, you don't want to be cheesy, there are no outsiders here today, I will introduce to you, this is our granddaughter-in-law Yu Panpan, our good grandson has a good eye for pearls, and found us a good granddaughter-in-law, if you are still here, you will definitely like her, she is very similar to you, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has good medical skills, Not only healed Runhe's legs, but also healed my injuries, cooking skills are also very good, hands are also skillful, it's a pity that you left early, otherwise you can enjoy the same blessings as my granddaughter-in-law, now my life is taken care of by her, you see, the clothes and shoes I wear are made by her, you can rest assured, wife, you will also bless her in the future, bless her and Runhe two safe and sound, smooth and smooth, add two more great-grandsons to our Lu family. ”
"Panpan, my eyes are swollen, don't cry, let's salute your grandmother." The old man wiped his tears, saw Yu Panpan crying sadly, and thought that she was really a kind child.
Yu Panpan knelt down in front of the tomb, kowtowed respectfully, gave her incense, and burned paper money: "Grandma, I am Yu Panpan, your grandson Lu Runhe and his future wife, when Runhe comes back, we are going to get married, you want to bless grandpa and Runhe, bless them with good health and smooth work, in the future, I will take care of them for you and my mother-in-law." ”
The next two went to the cemetery, where Lu Runhe's mother was laid to rest.
Yu Panpan wiped the tombstone clean with a handkerchief, and the old man gave him flowers for his daughter, solemnly introduced her to Yu Panpan, and asked her to bless Yu Panpan and Lu Runhe before letting Yu Panpan salute her.
Yu Panpan knelt down and kowtowed to her, put incense on her, burned paper money, and promised that she would take care of her father and son instead of her.
The old man was too sad, and his pace was a little unsteady, so Yu Panpan helped him to walk back, and when he was about to leave the cemetery, he ran into Jiang Youxiong who was holding flowers.
Jiang Youxiong saw the old man and Yu Panpan, walked over and called "Dad" softly, and nodded to Yu Panpan.
Yu Panpan shouted "Uncle", and the old man nodded indifferently, and motioned for Yu Panpan to move forward.
When he returned home, the old man's demeanor was very depressed, so Yu Panpan poured water for him to wash his face and hands, and made him a cup of tea with spiritual spring water: "Grandpa, don't be too sad, let's have a cup of tea first." ”
"Panpan, Runhe's order has been issued, he can come back as long as he does the handover, I found someone to calculate the date a few days ago, the best day in the near future is March 16, that day happens to be your birthday, you will get married on that day."
"Grandpa, didn't you say to get a marriage certificate first?" Yu Panpan said suspiciously, the master has always been a man of words, why is he suddenly in a hurry to give them a wedding.
"Panpan, not long after, grandpa has to go down to inspect the troops, the time is relatively long, it is not good to have no one in charge of the family, you don't have a wedding, others will not recognize you as a member of the Lu family, you will be criticized if you live here for a long time, and wait for the next good day to be half a year, so I want you to do the wedding as soon as possible, and you can justifiably preside over the Lu family."
"That's okay, grandpa will do what he says." Yu Panpan readily agreed, she had already decided to marry Lu Runhe, it didn't matter if she was a few months earlier or a few months later, thinking that her birthday was still half a month away, and she still had time to prepare, and she also knew that it was not appropriate to live in her fiancé's house for a long time, that is, she received a marriage certificate, as long as you didn't have a wedding, others would not recognize your marriage, but you had to do acupuncture for a few old men, so you had to live here.
"I know that Panpan is a sensible child, I will arrange the wedding, you just have to study with peace of mind, and be a happy bride when the time comes." The old man smiled happily, he hadn't been so happy in a few days.
In the following days, the old man devoted himself to preparing for the wedding in addition to work, limited by the times, the wedding is not only impossible to do in a big way, but it may also be very simple, but the old man still invested great enthusiasm: he arranged Lu Runhe and the original bedroom to make a new house, and arranged a study for Yu Panpan next door to the new house, both rooms were reborn and painted, the wooden floors were also replaced, the furniture was all replaced with new ones, the bathroom wall was pasted with porcelain plates, and even the flush toilet was replaced.
Cover, the old man originally wanted to give them four shops and four covers, but Yu Panpan insisted on buying the cover himself, and the old man had to give Yu Panpan the cotton tickets and cloth tickets he took.
Yu Panpan bought two quilts by himself, made two quilts with newly harvested silk, and the quilts were made into nail quilts, the quilt was satin, one bed was red, embroidered with dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, and one bed was green, embroidered with rich peonies. She made four sets of four, one with roses of the same color on a red background, one with small dark blue flowers on top of light blue, one with small peony flowers embroidered on top of light red, and one yellow quilt with small apples, and the silk quilt was covered with one of them, and two sheets and two pairs of pillowcases. At the same time, I also made a bed silk quilt for the old man, and made a four-piece set of light dark lines.
Melon seeds, peanuts, grain, oil, vegetables, etc. were all taken out of the space, and the old man generally did not ask about the things she brought back, thinking that she bought them from the black market, and only occasionally gave her some money, and she accepted them without refusal, because her meager living allowance could not support these expenses; Tobacco, alcohol, and sugar are the responsibility of the old man.
A few days later, Yu Panpan's thought was basically ready, while the old man was checking and filling in the gaps.
Happily, the watermelon seedlings and melon seedlings she planted in the backyard before Qingming have grown very well, and the apple trees, jujube trees, cherry trees and grape cuttings she planted have all sprouted.
Old Man Long and Old Man Ye have finished acupuncture, and the curative effect of both of them is very good, and both of them gave Yu Panpan the money for medicinal materials, so her wallet bulged again.
On this day, Yu Panpan didn't go back to the compound because he had classes in the evening, and sat on the bed to read after dinner, and the management came to her and said that someone was looking for her downstairs, so he had to dress up and go downstairs.
"Mingfei, why are you here?" I saw Qi Mingfei standing downstairs in the dormitory.
