"That's it, you kid can speak well, I'll play poor with you again, I'm afraid that in the evening, I won't be able to make lunch!" Jin smiled faintly, "By the way, your brother Fu has just come back, and he is reading a book in the house right now, if you are okay, you might as well go in and talk to him, and save him from being bored alone!" ”

Chen Kechang heard the news, was overjoyed, and slipped away from Jin's sight.

Jin stared at his son's back and sighed: "This kid has no definite character all day long!" "Turn around and retreat into the kitchen.

Chen Yun was shopping for rice, and when he saw Jin slowly coming in, he asked, "Where did he go crazy again?" ”

Jin said casually: "Zuo is just those companions, and there is no one else!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh for his son's lack of progress.

Chen Yun saw her mother sighing, knowing what the reason was, she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, mother, Kechang is still young, and if he pushes it too hard, it's not good!" ”

"Why don't I know that? It's just that your father told me a thousand times before he died, so that I must train Kechang to become a talent, how can I make him uneasy? As he spoke, his eyes suddenly moistened, "Alas, if your father is still here, seeing that you are now happily married, I guess you should smile from ear to ear!" ”

Chen Yun listened, and her heart was also very uncomfortable, and hurriedly persuaded: "Although my father went early, I can marry such a good wife as my mother, after his death, my mother not only took care of my father's aftermath, but also insisted on being widowed, and bothered to pull our brothers and sisters. ”

Kim's expression was solemn, and there was endless sadness hidden in his eyes, that kind of sadness was the misery of years of precipitation, which was only suitable for licking alone in the dead of night.

She didn't say a word, walked quickly to the stove, lowered her head to choose vegetables, and said to Chen Yun: "I went to your grandfather's place yesterday, and I listened to them talk about you, and when we have lunch, you and Fu'er will visit them first, and my mother will help you prepare incense candles and paper money!" ”

Chen Yun knew that filial piety was the first word, and she had to go to see her eldest relatives sooner or later, so she hummed softly and continued to wash rice.

Before I knew it, smoke was rising from every house in the quiet little village. Seeing that the meal was about to be perfected, the Jin family hurriedly sent Chen Yun to inform his brother-in-law.

Out of the kitchen, Chen Yun walked slowly along the door wall, and when he was about to approach the hall, he suddenly heard laughter coming from inside.

Out of curiosity, Chen Yun sneaked to the window, looked through the hidden window, and saw the two cousins talking with their palms, each holding a book in their hands, whispering, laughing from time to time, I don't know what interesting things they were talking about.

Chen Yun was puzzled, so he had to cough dryly and said, "Lunch has been prepared, if you two say enough, hurry up and come out to help move the table and chairs!" ”

Shen Fu sighed, hurriedly got up from the chair, and said to Chen Kechang: "What did we say, you can't mention it to Sister Yun!" ”

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'm closest to you!" Chen Kechang patted his chest and promised.

Shen Fu smiled slightly, strode out of the darkness, and then quickly moved the table, and hurriedly moved a few chairs to set them up next to him.

Chen Yun came in slowly with the dishes, and when she saw the two cousins sitting opposite each other, she couldn't help but quip: "This dish is still complete, you two have grabbed the seat first, hurry up, I want to put the dishes, beware of splashing oil on the two of you!" ”

Shen Fu smiled and took the dishes, and went out of the hall with Chen Yun, helping the Jin family bring all the rest of the meals to the table.

The banquet opened, and there were rice noodle meat, fried meat with edamame, fried dried tofu with green beans, plum meat, moldy dried vegetables, green vegetable soup, and pheasant soup on the table.

Shen Fu had been hungry for a long time, and he didn't care about anything at the moment, just gobbled it up.

Seeing him feasting, Chen Yun secretly smiled to himself, glanced at his mother again, and then secretly leaned next to Shen Fu and said, "You don't waste food, you don't waste a single grain, you really know that every grain on the plate is hard!" ”

Shen Fu smiled and deliberately chewed slowly, but he didn't feel comfortable in the end, so he didn't hold on for a moment and returned to his old appearance.

After eating, Jin finished cleaning up the leftovers, while pinching the blue rag to wipe the filth on the table, and urging his daughter and son-in-law: "Although it is not advisable to move more after eating, but you two should not rest for too long, sit down for a while, and go to your grandfather's!" ”

Shen Fu touched his round belly, answered lazily, and then stood up with difficulty, took a few gifts at random, and took Chen Yun's hand and left the hospital.

Outside, the afternoon sun is just right, the willow trees that have just sprouted new shoots are swaying in the breeze, and a few yellow warblers are standing on the treetops singing a gentle song.

The little couple walked away.

Seeing Shen Fu's leisurely expression, Chen Yun couldn't help but ask: "Before the meal, I saw that you and Kechang were chatting happily, I don't know what you talked to him?" ”

Shen Fu said calmly: "I won't tell you!" ”

"If you don't say it, you won't say it, anyway, if I go back and ask Kechang, I can know the same!" Chen Yun was confident, but smiled.

Shen Fu said with a smile: "If you want to find out from Kechang's mouth, there is no way!" ”

"Why?"

Chen Yun was surprised.

"I'm his own sister, and he dares to hide it from me?"

Shen Fu didn't explain anything, just walked away with his eyebrows fluttering.

Chen Yun had no choice, so he had to catch up and ask him, Shen Fu had no choice but to reveal a little: "Actually, I didn't say anything to him, I just asked him not to die studying!" This knowledge is noble and profound, and reading is expensive and wide. I think you have also heard that there are hundreds of schools of thought, so many predecessors have written and discussed, we should take the essence of it and discard its dross! ”

"No, I see you two talking so happily, is that all you say?" Chen Yun showed doubts in his eyes, "I know Kechang, he hates reading the most, and he hates others persuading him to read, if you say this, I dare to guarantee that he won't listen!" ”

"That's all!" Shen Fu said with a sequiface, "Side, I still don't know much about it, how dare I teach others casually?" ”

Chen Yun saw that he rarely recognized himself, smiled secretly, and enjoyed the roadside scenery comfortably.

In a blink of an eye, when they arrived at Chen's father's side, the little couple saw the bamboo fence hut and Ji An Dog Ning, so they hurriedly glanced at each other and entered the courtyard with a smile.

In the courtyard, several quilts were placed on the hemp rope pulled up in mid-air. At that time, Chen's mother was sitting in the shade of the locust tree tearing cotton wool and sewing clothes, and suddenly saw her granddaughter and grandson-in-law come to the door with gifts, and immediately overjoyed, and said: "I was thinking about whether the two of you would come, and I saw you in front of my eyes!" ”

Shen Fu strode up, sat down with his grandmother's arm, and said with a smile: "I missed my grandfather and grandmother at the beginning of the year, but my studies were tight, and my father refused to relax, so I never had a chance to come!" A few days ago, I met my grandfather and grandmother, but the time was urgent, and I didn't have time to talk to you more. ”

Mother Chen felt very cordial when she heard this, and she was happy in her heart, so she smiled and said: "No one has a sweet mouth like you, even Kechang is smart and precocious, and ten are not as good as you!" ”

"Okay, it's rare for you to come back, and your grandmother can still take care of the old and not treat you hospifully?" Mother Chen's face was kind, and she stood up with a smile and said, "The old man is still asleep in the house, if he knows that you have come to see him, he may be happy!" ”

Shen Fu casually responded, and hurriedly helped Chen's mother, who was yellow-faced and thin-skinned, into the house.

Entering the dark room, Chen's father heard the shallow footsteps, so he slowly opened his eyes to see, because he saw that the eyebrows and eyes of the comer were very handsome, and opened his eyes wide to take a closer look.

"But Fu'er is here?"

Father Chen's voice was thick, one wall poked his head to observe, and the other wall asked loudly.

Shen Fu hurriedly said: "Grandfather, it's me!" ”

Father Chen listened, his wrinkled old face suddenly squeezed into a ball, and said with a smile: "When I was napping just now, I dreamed that you were coming, and sure enough, I just opened my eyes ......" As he spoke, Father Chen coughed a few times, his yellowed face looked even older, his wrinkled chin and beard were white, scattered and messy, very decadent, "Come and sit next to my grandfather!" ”

Shen Fu responded, slowly sat down beside Chen's father, and got closer, only to find that Chen's father's face was very sickly, and his limbs were as thin as firewood sticks, and he had lost his earlier spirit, and couldn't help but care: "How did my grandfather look sick?" ”

Father Chen's eyes were bright, and he said cheerfully: "When people are old, they are already sick and painful, not to mention that my grandfather has lived to this age, and he is already content!" ”

"Grandfather, don't say that, you are only in the prime of life, and the days are still long, and it is not impossible for you to live in the future!" Shen Fu tried to comfort Chen's father.

Father Chen listened, Tao Taoran smiled and said: "People are old, their health is also bad, there will always be a place to go in the future, you stop your grandfather from leaving like this, is it possible to let your grandfather live to be thousands of years old, and then become an old goblin, which will make everyone disgusted?" ”

"How?" Shen Fushang hurriedly answered, "Peng Zu lived for 800 years, the world regards him as the ancestor of longevity, and regards him as a representative of longevity, if my grandfather also lives to that age, the children and grandchildren will only feel your heart, where will they be disgusted?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Chen's father smiled even more happily, but his body became more and more unbearable, and he coughed more than ten times.

Seeing this, Chen's mother sighed secretly, and then hurriedly went out and came in with a bowl of medicine, and then walked up to Chen's father with a trembling smile, and persuaded: "I know that I am not in good health, and I don't pay attention to maintenance, which is really worrying!" As he spoke, he took the decoction and sent it to Chen's father's door, "This is the home remedy that Bangyan just asked for yesterday, it doesn't work and I don't know, you try it first, if it works, you can drink it with peace of mind!" ”

Father Chen glanced at the sad Mother Chen, and then looked at the bowl of thick decoction, and his old face was suddenly clouded, and he was speechless for a long time.

"I know that you don't like the medicine is bitter, but the medicine is bitter, and you always take care of your body first!" Chen's mother persuaded her, and personally scooped a spoonful of decoction out of the bowl, and then slowly and leisurely delivered it to Chen's father's mouth.

Father Chen frowned, squeezed his nose and poured it down.

After drinking the medicine, Chen's father was a little more comfortable and had the energy to chat with Shen Fu about some gossip, but before half an hour, the old man was dazed again, and he stared at him in a dahe pillow.

Mother Chen saw that her wife was confused again, so she hurriedly asked Shen Fu and Chen Yun to come out to speak.

The ancestor and grandson came out and sat down, and Chen's mother saw that the two were related, so she sighed and said, "You have also seen, the old man's condition is getting worse and worse, and he often can't sleep at night, and I don't know if he can survive this year?" ”

Chen Yun saw that Chen's mother was full of worries, and hurriedly persuaded: "Grandmother, don't worry too much, people are old, and they will inevitably have three disasters and two diseases, as long as they are treated with heart and carefully recuperated, they may not be able to recover!" Besides, my grandfather has always been in good health, so maybe this time it was just a minor illness! ”

"Perhaps!" Mother Chen retracted her face and said, "By the way, early this morning, Bangyan asked if you were back?" If you are not in a hurry to leave, you might as well go and sit with him, you are far away, I am afraid that you will not know yet, and he has not been in peace recently! ”

When Chen Yun heard this, she was full of doubts and said: "My sister-in-law just gave birth to a child, it stands to reason that the two of them should be very affectionate, why don't they have a baby?" ”

"Looks like a god!" Chen's mother sighed, "The matter of the two of them, I can't say anything clearly, it's just a superficial harmony, and they quarrel at every turn in private, all year round, either fighting with the mouth or moving sticks, and their family has never been safe!" ”

Chen Yun and Shen Fu glanced at each other, their faces were half-understood.

At this time, Chen Kechang broke in. As soon as I came in, I saw my grandfather and grandson sitting close to each other, so I first asked Chen's mother for peace, and then said: "My mother has prepared incense candles and paper money, and wants me to come to my grandfather to find you, you can go back with me!" ”

Mother Chen heard that the sacrifice had been prepared in peace, so she hurriedly asked, "Are you going to put the rest of your heart on the grave?" Seeing Chen Yun nodding yes, Chen's mother sighed again, "Back then, I sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person, but I don't know how many tears I shed." Over the years, I have never been to your father's grave to take a look, and now that you are going, I will greet your father on behalf of my grandmother, and by the way, add a few more soils to the grave! ”

Chen Yun bowed slightly, turned his head and ran home with Chen Kechang.

After taking the offerings, the young couple walked and talked and walked towards the end of the village.
