Chapter 399: Simple Happiness! (2-in-1 Chapter)
"You're back?"
Xu Zifeng and Lin Meishan were having a fight, Lin Ma's voice suddenly sounded, and the two of them stopped chasing each other abruptly, and then, the two of them set their eyes on Lin Ma.
I saw that after Dad Lin and Mother Lin came down, Dad Lin first glanced at Lin Meishan, and finally looked at Xu Zifeng, and said meaningfully: "Boy, you want my daughter to walk and support the wall, you don't know if you can do it with your little body?" ”
“......”
Xu Zifeng smiled, then scratched the back of his head, and replied rather embarrassedly: "Uncle, I'm just joking." ”
"Haha, I'm joking, too." Dad Lin laughed.
"Dad!" Lin Meishan pouted and coquettish.
At this time, Mother Lin saw the table full of gifts, glanced at Xu Zifeng with some reproach, and said, "Come on, why do you buy so many gifts?" What a cost, you have money to save, the couple together, especially outside to beg for a living, there are many places that need money, we are just trying to eat and dress now, remember, in the future, don't buy so many gifts. ”
"This gift was bought by your daughter, it has nothing to do with me, and besides, this is the last time I will be at your house." Of course, Xu Zifeng wouldn't say this, he just said it in his heart, but he said: "Auntie, it should be, if you come empty-handed, wouldn't it be too rude?" And these gifts are not valuable, it doesn't matter, as long as you and your uncle like it. ”
Whether Xu Zifeng goes to Chen Meixi's house or Lin Meishan's house, he is particularly popular with the elders, mainly because he is sensible, sweet-mouthed, and knows what to say and what not to say.
"You kid is really good at talking, I like it, we like it very much, you two are flying and riding in a car, you must be very tired, right? Let's go up and take a break, and I'll go to the kitchen to get two side dishes. Mother Lin said with a smile.
"Auntie, let me help you." Xu Zifeng said.
"How's that going to work?"
"It's okay, I usually like to go into the kitchen and get something to eat, so it's okay to give you a hand." Xu Zifeng insisted.
"That's... All right. ”
Half an hour later, Mother Lin said that she would make two side dishes, but actually made a big table, yellow stewed chicken, boiled pork slices, all of which were home-cooked dishes, and Xu Zifeng was very happy to eat this meal.
At night, it was still Xu Zifeng sleeping on the bed, Lin Meishan was on the floor, as a man, Xu Zifeng couldn't bear Lin Meishan to sleep on the floor, so he took the initiative to give up the bed, which can be regarded as a man's minimum gentlemanly demeanor.
After breakfast the next morning, Lin Meishan made an excuse for Xu Zifeng to let him leave, under the eyes of Lin Meishan's family, Xu Zifeng left, he and Sao Pig met at the station, then took the car to Kunming, and then called Chen Meixi and Long Xueer to Kunming Station to gather.
Arrived at Kunming Station, after several people met, they got on the bus back to their hometown, on the way, Sao Pig seemed very excited, because he had not gone to worship his grandmother for a long time.
Two hours later, Xu Zifeng and the four of them got off the train at the station, and then took a taxi at the door with their luggage and gifts to go home and put down their luggage and gifts.
After returning home, Xu Zifeng's parents and grandparents were happy, because they hadn't been a family reunion for a long time, and stayed at home for breakfast, Xu Zifeng told his parents and grandparents that they would accompany the pig to worship his grandmother, and then the four of them went out, first went to the supermarket to buy the materials and cooking pot for the rice balls, and then took the car to the place where the pig and his grandmother were buried.
Sao Pig's grandmother was cremated, but the older generation of people hope to have a cemetery after their death, so after cremation, the ashes were buried in the Linshan cemetery in their county, at that time, in order to buy this cemetery, spent almost all of the pig's savings, this is the only thing that the pig can do for his grandmother, he is duty-bound.
Half an hour later, several people came to the Linshan cemetery to find the tombstone of Saozhu's grandmother, first put the purchased flowers and fruits in front of the tombstone, and then Saozhu went to find some dry firewood nearby to start a fire on the spot, and then poured mineral water into the pot and put it on the temporary small stove.
Then, several people prepared to rub the rice balls on the spot.
Ten minutes later, the glutinous rice balls were cooked, and the pig burst into tears, his grandmother's care for him was something he couldn't repay for doing these things, if it weren't for his grandmother's hard work to raise him, and then use the only income for him to study, his childhood would definitely be a dark one.
Even like those homeless children, they live on the streets, relying on other people's handouts and eating garbage to survive in humiliation.
Will it be like now, well-fed and warmly dressed, with a group of brothers, and a beautiful girlfriend who is very nice to him?
All of this was actually given to him by his grandmother.
Outsiders can't understand what his grandmother meant by what he did, it was the benefactor who changed his life.
"Grandma, how are you doing over there? Are you well fed? Are you dressed warmly? Has anyone bullied you when they saw that you were kind? If you are wronged, you must say to Little Piggy, Little Pig Pig burns tens of thousands of bodyguards to help you beat those bad guys, if it really doesn't work, you can also burn the plane cannon, anyway, Little Pig Pig will not let you be bullied by others. ”
At this time, the pig was already crying silently, Long Xueer wanted to help the pig wipe her tears, but was stopped by Xu Zifeng.
He didn't explain why, but Long Xue'er didn't insist either.
Why did Xu Zifeng stop Long Xue'er?
The reason is simple.
He understands the pig, the grandmother of the pig is too important for the pig, if these thoughts in the heart, gratitude and many other emotions are not vented, the pig will not be really happy.
It's just that, to tell the truth, when Sao Pig said that he would burn tens of thousands of bodyguards and burn airplane cannons for his grandmother, Xu Zifeng almost laughed, but fortunately, at such a serious moment, at the moment when Sao Pig was grieving, Xu Zifeng finally held back.
"Grandma, this is the little pig pig and your granddaughter-in-law, as well as Brother Feng and his girlfriend together, you like to eat rice balls the most before your death, because you said that eating rice balls means reunion, so you must remember to eat a few more, don't be reluctant to eat, now your little pig pig has the ability, has made money, when you are alive, the little pig pig is not able to let you live a good life for a few days, now that you are gone, the little pig pig really wants to make up for it."
"Woohoo."
Sao Pig cried like a girl, Xu Zifeng sighed in his heart, and then put the bowl of rice balls he had cooked in front of the tombstone, looked at the photo on the tombstone and said: "Grandma, Xiao Fengzi has only come to see you once for so long, don't blame Xiao Fengzai, this is the rice balls that Xiao Fengzi rubbed for you by himself, you eat more, and Xiao Fengzi promised you that he will take good care of the little pig for you, and will definitely watch him start a family to help you fulfill your wishes." ”
When Xu Zifeng finished speaking, the atmosphere seemed a little depressed, and Long Xueer and Chen Meixi also put the rice balls in a small bowl in front of the tombstone one after another, and then the two girls said a few words to the tombstone.
After that, there was a brief silence, no one spoke, and in the quiet cemetery, only the soft sobs of the pigs could be heard.
About a few minutes later, the sobbing gradually disappeared, and the pig was not crying, only heard a "plop", and then saw him kneeling in front of the tombstone, only to see him staring at the tombstone tightly, for a long time, before saying: "Grandma, the little pig really wants to miss you, you can rest assured, after I get the world championship trophy, not only to let you witness the glorious moment of the little piggy, but also to take you to every corner of the world." ”
When he said this, Sao Pig's expression and eyes were unprecedentedly serious, and after he finished speaking, he stood up, then wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, and looked at Xu Zifeng and the others and said, "I'm fine, let's go." ”
Long Xue'er was distressed and helped him wipe the tears on his face again, and then said, "Don't be sad, grandma doesn't want to see you like this." ”
"yes, I see." Sao Pig nodded, then hugged Long Xue'er, looked at the tombstone and smiled: "Grandma, in the past, you were the closest person to Little Piggy, and now, you have gone to a far away place, she is now the closest person to Little Piggy, her name is Long Xue'er, the snowy snow is your granddaughter-in-law, you must protect her in the sky." ”
Long Xue'er held the hand of the pig tightly.
Then, several people bowed to the tombstone, and then left the cemetery with the boiling pot and the ashes of the burned firewood, which is estimated to be a long time coming.
In the next few days, Xu Zifeng and his family stayed at home, either playing cards with their grandparents, not only to pass the time for entertainment, but also to help their grandparents prevent Alzheimer's disease in advance. Or go outside to play together, Chen Meixi and Long Xue'er seem to have discussed that they want to go to the places where Xu Zifeng and Sao Pig have been before, and the schools they have stayed in will be seen and walked again.
Xu Zifeng had taken Chen Meixi to go there once before, but due to the rush of time, he didn't have time to take a closer look.
Now there is a lot of time, whether it is the time they walk or the speed of viewing, they have deliberately slowed down.
Especially when the four of them went to the county middle school, as soon as they entered the school gate, Xu Zifeng and Sao Zhu couldn't help but glance at each other, here, not only the school they once stayed in, but also the place where the two of them met, here, full of memories of the two of them.
It was also here that Xu Zifeng was dumped by Xing Zhuoyi.
It was also here that Sao Pig left a confession of traumatic sequelae.
Here, there are too many memories of them, a few people first walked around the playground, and then went to classrooms, dormitories, canteens, and shops.
As long as it is the place where Xu Zifeng and Sao Zhu have left footprints, it is the place where Chen Meixi and Long Xueer want to go again.
As for Xu Zifeng and Sao Zhu, they became foils and followed behind the two women's buttocks.
As time passed, the Spring Festival was getting closer and closer, and even when they didn't go out, they could hear the laughter of children and firecrackers in the alleys.
Noon on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
The street is full of selling New Year's goods and vegetables to buy things, in a word, extremely crowded, Xu Zifeng They did not plan to go out to squeeze with others, because the ingredients and other things needed for the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, they went out early in the morning to buy back.
Now Chen Meixi and Long Xueer are helping to wash and pick up vegetables in the kitchen.
Originally, Xu Zifeng was going to help the handle, but Chen Meixi didn't let him, Chen Meixi said that he should accompany his grandparents more.
Xu Zifeng thought about it, and then nodded and agreed, because after the New Year, they will officially get on track and start playing in the professional league, and they must be very busy at that time, and they are so far away in Shanghai, it will be strange trouble to come back, so he doesn't know when the next time he will come back, so he stayed in the living room with his grandparents to chat.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
From time to time, the sound of firecrackers can be heard in the alley outside the door.
Finally, Xu Zifeng and Sao Pig couldn't help but glance at each other, and then, they both saw inexplicable excitement in each other's eyes.
Xu Zifeng's grandparents live so old, as the saying goes, people become old and fine, when they see their eyes, they know what they are thinking, and they only heard grandma say: "Do little maples and little pigs want to set off firecrackers?" ”
Xu Zifeng and Sao Zhu laughed a little embarrassed.
"Go, it just so happens that your grandfather and I want to take a lunch break for a while, and if you stay here, it will disturb our rest, let's go, there will be no firecrackers during the New Year, I always feel that there are shortcomings in my heart, amplify the sound, let us also feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival." When Xu Zifeng's grandmother laughed, her face was full of wrinkles, which made people feel very distressed, but the kindness and love in her eyes, Xu Zifeng and Sao Pig really felt it.
"Go, go, go." Xu Zifeng's grandfather also waved his hand.
"Okay."
"Grandparents, then we'll go, and I'll talk to you later."
"Hmm."
Xu Zifeng and Sao Pig left the living room, and then went directly out of the house to buy firecrackers at the door of the shop specializing in selling fireworks, although they are older, but now the New Year, just like Xu Zifeng's grandmother said, if you don't set off firecrackers during the New Year, you always feel that there are shortcomings in your heart, and you are not happy.
"Xiao Feng, come buy firecrackers?" The boss knows Xu Zifeng.
"Yes, Uncle Li, it's the New Year, buy some fun."
"Haha, you guys also join in the fun with the children, okay, buy this, but pay attention to safety, don't scare those children." The boss pointed to a firecracker called 'Thunderlight' and smiled.
"Okay, that's it, two boxes."
A minute later.
Xu Zifeng and Sao Pig are two people, each holding a box of 'thunder light' in their hands and standing at the door of the house, here is a straight alley, all the way to the bottom, at this time many children in the alley are playing with firecrackers in front of their homes, no need to count, about a few glances, you can roughly know how many children are playing with firecrackers, about twenty or thirty.
"Brother Feng, I don't know what the power of this thunder light is, throw one to test the water first?" Sao Pig took out a thunderbolt and put it in his hand and smiled.
"Well, try it first." Xu Zifeng nodded.
There are few boxes to look at, but they are very expensive, they have to cost twenty yuan a box, which is not expensive for them, but for children, it is more expensive.
"Whew!"
Sao Pig lit a thunderbolt with a lighter, and then threw it into the ditch, without turning around and running or covering his ears with his hands.
After all, firecrackers are all played from childhood to adulthood, and they are thrown so far, who would be afraid?
For a second... Two seconds... Three seconds...
Seeing that the thunder firecrackers in the small ditch kept emitting white smoke foam, but they refused to explode for a long time, which made Sao Pig very puzzled: "This is too fake, right?" Did you burp on the first shot? ”
His voice had just fallen.
Just listen to "Boom! "There was a loud bang.
The small alley, which was originally quite quiet, suddenly sounded a deafening explosion, Xu Zifeng and Sao Pig were stunned by the huge explosion, and the next moment, they felt as if something had flown onto their faces and bodies, a little slimy.
The most important thing is that the power of this thunderbolt is too fucking exaggerated, not only is the sound loud, but the effect is also very good, because at this time they have already reacted to what is flying on their bodies, it is the dirt and black mud and stinky water in the ditch, and they are already splashed all over their bodies at this time.
The two looked at each other in a daze.
They all saw black dirt and mud on each other's heads, faces, and clothes, as well as a disgusting stench that gradually came.
"Wow!"
"Woo..."
After a while, after the sound of the explosion, the quiet alley suddenly sounded the howling of children.
"Damn, flash mob!"
"Run!"
Xu Zifeng and Sao Zhu also reacted fast enough, and when they heard the child crying, they said a sentence with roughly the same meaning to each other in unison, and then, I saw the two of them turn around and open the door and run home.
As for the two boxes of thunder firecrackers that they had just bought for forty yuan, they had already thrown them into the street with their backhands before entering the door.
Xu Zifeng thought about it, this is not appropriate, the power of thunder firecrackers is really a bit exaggerated, if it is picked up by children to play, it is likely to be dangerous, so he hurriedly rushed out of the house to pick up the firecrackers thrown on the street, and then returned home.
After returning home, it happened that Chen Meixi and Long Xue'er took the vegetables they picked up and put them in the basin and went out to wash them, and then saw the two of them covered in black dirt and mud.
“??” The two women looked at them strangely.
"Today's children are so ignorant, they throw firecrackers into the ditch next to us, and we are all over the place." Sao Pig explained with a hateful face.
Hearing that the pig was over, Long Xue'er rolled her eyes and said: "Children are not sensible, what do you care about them, go take a bath, it really stinks." ”
"You too, go take a shower." Chen Meixi glared at Xu Zifeng.
"Ugh."
This little episode didn't have any impact on the two of them, and then no children came to the door with their parents, and at night firecrackers were blown up, and when the family was reunited and lively and sitting around the dining table, Sao Pig stared at a large table full of dishes and swallowed saliva.
Xu Zifeng was so happy that he didn't know what to say, he dared to say that this was the happiest and warmest Spring Festival he had since he was a child, his grandparents were here, his parents were there, and Chen Meixi was with him, and the pig was also there.
In fact, the things Xu Zifeng has always wanted are really simple, a healthy and safe family, a happy smile on his face, and simple happiness, it is enough to have these.
