Chapter Forty-Eight: Change
Chen Yi couldn't explain Tao Yao's position in his heart, just like the difference between affection and family affection, one is the love that is taken for granted, and the other is the love that compromises each other.
"Brother Yi, why are you stunned, come into the house with me, how about tasting my craftsmanship!" Tao Yao had already dug up the black rooster, wrapped it in weeds, and rushed to the house.
Looking at Tao Yao's back, Chen Yi couldn't help but smile.
After returning to the house, my mother was late, and naturally she was complained about by my uncle and aunt, but my mother was an intellectual woman, and she took the initiative to help my uncle and uncle with housework, and soon made my uncle and uncle happy.
But no amount of hospitality the uncle and aunt could change the fact that he and his mother did not come back to see them, but only to worship his father.
During the meal, the uncle and aunt did not mention Chen Long's matter, they didn't know that Chen Long committed suicide because of e-sports, they only thought that Chen Long was framed and died unexpectedly, and when they sympathized with Chen Yi's mother and son, they didn't expose these sad things.
Chen Yi was accompanied by Tao Yao, and he felt warm after a meal, and after eating, Tao Yao also offered to go to the grave with Chen Yi.
But this request was rejected by Zeng Xiuying.
The place where Chen Long was buried was not far from the mountain village, halfway up the mountain outside the mountain village.
After eating, Chen Yi brought some fragrant wax and other items, carried them on his backpack, and walked towards the halfway point of the mountain with Zeng Xiuying.
"Mom, slow down!" didn't go far, Chen Yi felt that Zeng Xiuying was out of breath, and his face was a little pale.
"It's okay, I'm fine!" Zeng Xiuying smiled reluctantly, but her body leaned harder against him.
"Mom, your body is very weak, you must make up for it after you go back this time!" Chen Yi frowned, he had always known that his mother's health was not good, but he hadn't been like this yet! After only walking a section of the mountain road, Chen Yi suddenly felt that his mother's condition had worsened!
"Hmm." Zeng Xiuying just nodded slightly, which was a response.
After walking for more than 20 minutes, a low tomb appeared in the field of vision, and the surrounding area of the tomb was quite tidy, and it should have been taken care of by my uncle and aunt.
On the tombstone, it is written that the tomb of Chen Long, and the monument is set up by the filial son Chen Yi and his beloved wife Zeng Xiuying.
"Go talk to your dad!" Zeng Xiuying took a breath, and then said softly to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi nodded silently, took off the package, and walked to his father's grave.
He knelt down, took out some offerings, lit incense candles, burned paper money, and then kowtowed, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly did not know what to say.
A name suddenly appeared in Chen Yi's mind, Xiaoying.
If it weren't for the Owl, the father would never have died, if it wasn't for the Owl, the mother would not be alone, and the mother would not have been running around for him, and his body was getting weaker and weaker, and they would not have lived this kind of depressed life, everything was because of this person, because of an e-sports competition related to life and death!
Chen Yi's heart burned with great hatred!
He lowered his head, but said in a decent voice: "Dad, you have a spirit in the sky, you will bless my mother with good health, and also bless me with being able to get into a good university, I will definitely not disappoint you!" ”
In his heart, Chen Yi said: "Dad, don't worry, my hatred, I will get it for you with my own hands!" ”
After finishing speaking, Chen Yi stood up, showed a disguised smile to his mother, and said, "Mom, come on." ”
Zeng Xiuying didn't think much about it, nodded, and then knelt in front of Chen Long's tombstone.
Chen Yi saw his mother looking at the tombstone with a faint gaze, she didn't say a word, but Chen Yi felt that there was something indescribable in his mother's eyes, and he suddenly seemed to understand one thing, that is, his mother loved his father very much.
Seeing this scene, he took the initiative to walk away.
"Dragon, it's been ten years, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and my son has grown up."
"He's as persistent as you now, I can't stop him, maybe it's fate, it's a pity that I don't have that kind of blessing to watch him go further."
"We'll see each other soon."
Zeng Xiuying sometimes spoke, sometimes paused. Almost ten minutes in front of the tombstone.
"Mom, what are you talking about, you were kneeling and breaking your body!" Chen Yi saw that his mother still didn't get up, and shouted from afar.
"Just come, come." Zeng Xiuying woke up suddenly, glanced at Long Chen's tombstone again, packed up the fruit, and got up to leave.
"Mom, if you miss Dad, you can come back and see it when you have time, don't toss yourself like this!" Chen Yi hugged Zeng Xiuying and said in his mouth.
"Silly boy, what are you talking about, if your father knew that you are tall and handsome now, I don't know if he would whip you with a bamboo block!" Zeng Xiuying said with a soft smile.
"Dad won't be so fierce!" Chen Yi said angrily.
But after saying that, both mother and son were silent, and they looked back at the silent grave on the hill, where the autumn wind blew, and the paper ashes fluttered and swirled in the wind, making people feel indescribably desolate.
In the afternoon, Zeng Xiuying originally wanted to take Chen Yi back to the city, but her uncle and aunt resolutely disagreed, and dragged Chen Yi's clothes and refused to let her go.
And Tao Yao was more direct, she directly hid Chen Yi's backpack, and if you want to leave, go empty-handed!
Zeng Xiuying had no choice but to agree to rest for one night and leave tomorrow morning, and the two elders also knew that Chen Yi had a study, so they didn't feel embarrassed anymore.
The two elders in the guest room where Chen Yi and his mother slept were also cleaned up in advance, and Chen Yi didn't need to worry about the meal, so on this day, Chen Yi just accompanied Tao Yao to play everywhere.
It had been a long time since he had lived in a mountain village, and everything here had become new again, from the crowing of chickens and dogs to the lotus pond orchard, which gave people a completely different beauty than the bustling city.
The night is not lonely, Chen Yi and Tao Yao sat under the eaves and chatted endlessly, Tao Yao wanted to listen to everything in the city, food, clothing, housing and transportation, men and women's love, everything made her curious.
Chen Yi kept talking, and in the end, he found that Tao Yao was asleep on his lap.
Chen Yi looked at Tao Yao's innocent and pink face, was stunned for a while, and then carried Tao Yao back to her bedroom, covered her with a futon, and went back to her room to rest.
This time the monthly leave was only two days, and the next day, Zeng Xiuying and Chen Yi packed their bags and left Yueqiao.
Uncle and aunt were naturally reluctant, but helpless, when saying goodbye, Zeng Xiuying was pulled into the house by her uncle and whispered, until Zeng Xiuying agreed, and the uncle smiled.
And Tao Yao also bid farewell to Chen Yi with teary eyes, and said in her mouth: "Brother Yi, I will definitely come to you!" ”
On the bus back, Chen Yi asked, "Mom, what did you and your uncle say secretly just now, I saw that my uncle seemed to be very happy!" ”
"He said that when he grew up, he would let me marry him, and I agreed." Zeng Xiuying smiled.
Chen Yi was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Mom, it's my sister, how can you agree?" ”
"Child, you are still not sensible, your uncle said so many things at dinner yesterday, it means that he is dying of health, and the most worrying thing is that he is dying, if I don't promise him today, where will he let us go?" Zeng Xiuying said eloquently.
"But you can't say yes!" Chen Yi only felt dizzy, he had no feelings for men and women at all, although he had grown into a big beauty now, but compared with the goddess in his heart, it was still incomparable, and there was a Xi Shi in the eyes of a lover!
Zeng Xiuying smiled a little strangely, turned her head to look at Chen Yi, and said, "I'm teasing you, what do you mean by your blind excitement?" Your uncle just said that he would send him to the city next year to see and understand, and he would live in our house when the time comes, I agreed, do you understand? ”
Chen Yi was stunned and looked at Zeng Xiuying stupidly, until Zeng Xiuying squinted her eyes and smiled, she didn't know that she was being tricked by her mother......
"It's not a big deal to stay for a while." Chen Yi comforted himself.
But Zeng Xiuying asked with interest: "Chen Yi, if your uncle really wants you to marry you, will you agree or not?" ”
"Mom, I'm sleepy, squint." Chen Yi closed his eyes directly and pretended to be asleep.
Zeng Xiuying laughed happily, grabbed Chen Yi's hand, and said: "Mom teased you, study hard when you go back, and now you are a beauty, you want others, it's one thing whether others do it or not." ”
"Mom, you're not done yet!" Chen Yi was even more annoyed.
"Okay, Mom won't talk about it!" Zeng Xiuying smiled even brighter, quite a bit of the gentle beauty of a middle-aged woman. But Chen Yi didn't speak, and four or five hours later, the train returned to Sioux City.
