Chapter 39 Simple Family Style
Finally, after walking for almost five minutes, Wen Xiao saw the grave of 'Wen Xiao's parents through the dense leaves, his parents were buried together, so there was only one grave, a grave piled up with rubble, surrounded by weeds, and at a glance, he knew that no one had cleaned it for a long time. The only thing that makes sense is that there is a decent tombstone, which is engraved with 'The Tomb of Wen Jiadong and His Wife Qin Yujie'.
Wen Jialiang took the brother and sister to the grave, "It's here." ”
After he finished speaking, he planned to use a sickle to clean up the weeds around the grave, but Wen Xiao felt that this kind of thing should be handed over to himself, not to an 'outsider', and said, "Second uncle, you go back first, let me come." ”
"I... I'll take you back later! So I can't go yet. "Ask Jialiang to speak a little slurred
"Second uncle, I already remember the way, I can take my sister back, so you better go back first." Wen Xiao wants to take her sister to be alone with her parents and doesn't want to be disturbed
"No! Since I have brought you here, I will bring you back. Wen Jialiang still strongly objected, but seemed to understand something and said, "I'll go and smoke a cigarette, and you two brothers and sisters will meet your parents by yourself." ”
After saying that, he handed the sickle to Wen Xiao, bowed to the grave, and walked back and forth with an umbrella.
Wen Xiao took the sickle, and he didn't know why Wen Jialiang tried his best to take them back, but when he saw that Wen Jialiang was far away from the tomb, he didn't take this matter to heart.
As long as it doesn't bother us, it's fine.
Sister Wen Xiao put down the umbrella and handed it to her, "Xiaoting, you are here watching my brother clean up my parents' 'home'." ”
"Hmm," asked Xiaoting and took the umbrella
The rain was not very heavy, so it was okay to be drenched for a while, Wen Xiao first put the bag containing paper money and firecrackers in his hand on the ground, and then walked into the grave and cleaned up the surrounding weeds and branches, probably because no one seemed to have been here for three years, so it took Wen Xiao nearly a quarter of an hour to clean up the surroundings. After finishing it, he squatted in front of the tombstone, stared at it for a while, and then turned his head to his sister who was not a trace of impatience and said, "Xiaoting, come here with the bag on the ground." ”
"Hmm" asked Xiaoting to come over with a bag, and also propped the umbrella on top of Wen Xiao's head
Wen Xiao took the bag and took out two red candles and a lighter from inside
'Smack'
Wen Xiao lit two red candles with a lighter and inserted them in front of the grave, then took out three incense sticks from the bag, lit two of them and inserted them in front of the grave, and handed them to Wen Xiaoting, "Xiaoting, you can order this one." ”
Asked Xiaoting to throw the umbrella aside, and also did something like her brother
After Wen Xiaoting finished doing it, Wen Xiao put some paper money in front of her sister and asked her to kneel on the paper money and kowtow, and she knelt directly in the mud regardless of it, and then kowtowed, and then gently stroked the tombstone, staring, and tears somehow flowed down.
Mom and Dad, I'm sorry I haven't come to see you in three years.
You don't have to worry about me and Xiaoting, we are doing well, and you have to live well in heaven.
Since the moment Wen Xiao saw the grave, the feelings in his heart have been uncontrollable, it seems that his parents are in front of him, he doesn't understand what is going on, and he doesn't know whether these inner words are what he wants to say or what 'Wen Xiao' wants to say.
In fact, what Wen Xiao didn't know was that the souls of the two were gradually merging from the beginning, and both habits and emotions were blended in this body. Now he is neither the question of the previous life nor the question of this life, but he is also the question of the previous life and the question of this life. It is precisely because of this that as a younger sister who has been with Wen Xiaoxiao for more than ten years, Wen Xiaoting did not notice anything unusual. Otherwise, no matter how perfect the memory inheritance is, Wen Xiao is a stranger to Wen Xiaoting after all, how can she not doubt it?
'Whew'
A voice interrupted Wen Xiao's sentimentality, he looked at the sound and couldn't cry or laugh, and asked Xiaoting to burst into tears, and the snot was up to her mouth, but she just flattened her mouth and didn't make a sound, as if she was trying to hold back, if she couldn't help but suck her nose, Wen Xiao didn't know that this girl was also crying.
Wen Xiao took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket, gently wiped it on his sister's nose, and then took out another piece of paper to wipe her tears, "Oh, why are you crying so sadly?" It's all a little flower cat. ”
"It's all my brother's fault, when I saw you crying, we wanted to cry too." Ask Xiaoting Actually, there wasn't much sadness at first, she was only 8 or 9 years old at the time, and three years had passed, and the memories of her parents were a little forgotten, but she couldn't help it when she saw her brother's tears falling all of a sudden.
"Uh-huh, blame me, blame me." Wen Xiao wanted to touch her sister's head to comfort her, but she didn't do it when she found that her hands were a little dirty.
"Well, it's your fault." Wen Xiaoting also took out a piece of paper from Wen Xiao's pocket and wiped her tears for Wen Xiao, "My brother is still crying, I can't stop it." ”
"Really?" I don't feel it
He didn't know that from the perspective of asking Xiaoting, even if he was talking to his sister and smiling at his sister, tears were still flowing from the corners of his eyes.
Wen Xiao also took out the paper and wiped it, but found that it seemed that he couldn't wipe it clean, so he didn't continue to wipe it.
Maybe 'Wen Xiao' has been holding back tears for three years.
took out two bundles of paper money and asked his sister to burn them together, and finally waited for the red candle, incense, and paper money to burn almost after his tears finally stopped.
He helped his sister to her feet, "It's time to set off firecrackers." ”
"Hmm"
Wen Xiao picked up the umbrella first and handed it to Wen Xiaoting, then pulled her farther away and told her, 'Wait here, he will go back after lighting the firecrackers.' Then he used a scythe to cut a branch and put it in place so that the firecracker could be blown up at once, so as not to stop halfway through.
I saw the fuse being lit with a 'bang'
Wen Xiao hurriedly picked up the sickle thrown aside, covered her ears with the other hand, and ran in the direction of Wen Xiaoting, and then didn't cover her ears at all, so she pulled her away from her
There was a crackling explosion behind him
After three minutes, the sound finally stopped
I bought more than 100 of them, the quality was still good, and there was no bombing and stopping halfway
Wen Xiao put down the hand covering her ears and shook her sister who was still covering her ears and closing her eyes, "Okay, it's over, it's time to go." ”
Asked Xiaoting to be shaken like this, she also reacted that the firecracker had been blown up, "Hmm! ”
Wen Xiao picked her up again, took the sickle and umbrella that had been thrown aside by the brother and sister because they wanted to cover their ears, and walked to Wen Jialiang, but glanced at the grave of his parents with some wistfulness
When you have the money, you have to come back and fix it again
...
"Second uncle, okay, let's go back."
"Well, let's go." Wen Jialiang took the sickle handed by Wen Xiao and walked with the brother and sister in front
But as he walked, Wen Xiao felt more and more that something was wrong
That's not right! This is not the way you came.
But he didn't say anything, and still followed behind Wen Jialiang, wanting to see what he was going to do, and at the same time raised his vigilance around him.
But it didn't take long to find that a few people had already rushed out of the forest to a relatively wide road, which was also the road when Wen Xiao came, but it was a little far away from the old house of the Wen family. Wen Xiao immediately understood what was going on, glanced at Wen Jiadong with a somewhat embarrassed face and said, "Second uncle, it's okay here, I know how to go." ”
"Haha, then your second uncle will go back." Wen Jialiang smiled awkwardly, ran away in the direction of the old mansion
Wen Xiao hooked the corners of his mouth, I don't know what kind of emotion it is, is it funny to ask Jialiang to run away? Or 'sigh' the 'simple style' of the second uncle's family?
That's fine, you don't have to go through the old house next time.
He didn't say much, he took off his schoolbag from his sister's back, took out bread from it and asked, "Xiaoting, are you hungry?" Do you want to eat a loaf of bread? ”
"Hmm" asked Xiaoting to push the bread away as if resisting, "I'll have to take the car again, if you eat it now, we'll vomit." ”
"That's right, then I'll eat again when I go back, I can't finish it, and I'll have breakfast tomorrow." Wen Xiao put the bread back in his schoolbag and carried it on his back, he was not hungry, because he had eaten noodles for two people this morning.
"Let's go, go home." Wen Xiao held an umbrella, took her sister's hand and walked in the direction of home
"Go home!"
