Chapter Forty-Nine: The Promise Made
"This wild vegetable was given by Aunt Li next door, and the chickens were also bought from her family, and her chickens are all free-range, and the meat is very good. Taste it. Xiao Yunyun picked up a piece of chicken thigh meat and gave it to Shen An.
"Thank you, Aunt Xiao." Shen Anhao picked up the chicken thigh meat and put it in his mouth. Shen Zixing gulped down two bowls of rice.
"Zixing, eat slowly, wait for you, Uncle Shen still thinks that we abuse you on weekdays and don't give you food." Yao Yuxia watched Shen Zixing gobble up.
After eating, Shen An boiled tea and made a pot of tea for everyone to dispel their greasy gas.
"There will be a lot of rain this year, and the road will be muddy tomorrow." Shi Rulin picked up the tea that Shen An had made well.
"The flowers have already been bought, and there are not many things to bring tomorrow. The feet are just right, and if it rains too much tomorrow, hold her up. Xiao Yunyun touched Shen Anhao's head.
"How can you be so squeamish." Shen Anhao took the boiling water and poured it into the teapot.
"In the blink of an eye, the children are so old." Yao Yuxia looked at the three children in front of her. remembered that he was only twenty-three years old when he married Shen Yu. Now her daughters are 16 years old. In the past ten years, looking back is like a blink of an eye.
"It's finally grown so big, we can be loose, and we can finally enjoy it." Xiao Yunyun also sighed.
"What you said, Shi Yuan is only in high school, and at the critical moment, you have to take care of it wholeheartedly." Yao Yuxia thought about it, Xiao Yunyun went to travel for more than a month in the past six months. Children are like free-range. There is a hint of reproach when he says this.
"It's not a kid anymore, I need to change diapers and feed. You treat him like a child, and he has been a child all his life. Besides, boys, they should know how to take care of themselves at such an age. Xiao Yunyun looked at Shi Yuan, who was speechless, and added a sentence, "I take care of him at home all day long, and he is probably not unhappy." ”
"I can't talk about you." Yao Yuxia was not angry.
The two families chatted happily about family life, told jokes, and had a pleasant time that was always easy. Late at night, Shen Yu's family went back to their home.
Shen Anhao went home and saw a group photo hanging in the hall. Shen Zixing followed Shen Anhao's eyes, "As soon as Dad came back, he took it out and hung it up, you came back and went out in a hurry, I guess I didn't see it." ”
"I'll take a shower first, don't rob me." Shen An's fierce tone.
"Whoever wants to rob you, you are the king of this house, who dares to rob you of things." Shen Zixing felt that his family status couldn't be lower.
"Shen Zixing said who is the king?" Shen Anhao heard Shen Zixing's words on the stairs. Stopped.
"It's the king, the king of the overlord, the overlord of the overlord. Hurry up and take a shower, there are many people lining up in the back. After Shen Zixing finished speaking, he went back to the room that had been vacated.
When Shen Anhao returned to the room, he smelled the fragrance of moon flowers, Shen Anhao turned on the light and closed the door. After packing up your clothes, go to the shower.
After taking a shower, Shen Anhao lay down in bed, the previous memories and today's memories and the dreams of these years were all blended together, and he couldn't tell which was the reality and which was the dream.
Lying down for an hour and not falling asleep, Shen Anhao turned over the quilt and turned on the bedside lamp, Shen Anhao got up and sat at the table, the drawer of the table was locked, Shen Anhao took out the key of the small bag and opened the lock.
It was full of homework books with names that my grandfather had taught me to write.
"Grandpa, why am I called Shen Anhao?"
"Because grandpa wants you to be well, healthy, and happy in this life, and you don't have to worry about grandpa."
"Oh."
Shen Anhao's ears sounded, and when she was a child, Shen Congyang taught her to write down the three words Shen Anhao stroke by stroke.
"I can write my own name, I can write my own name, I'm not very good!"
"I would have done it a long time ago, Shen An, you idiot."
Shen Anhao had traces of his grandfather when he was a child, and they were all put in this cabinet. Shen Anhao is no longer sad, nor is he crying. The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night. The things that time has taken away have been constantly turning in the axis of time.
The next day, Shen Anhao opened the window and looked at the weather outside, there was a trace of sunshine in the thick dark clouds, it seemed that it was cloudy today. Downstairs I saw breakfast on the table. Shen Anhao finished washing and put the porridge in a bowl.
Shen Yu was holding a suckling pig in one hand. Holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums in one hand. "Wife, are you ready for wine?"
"I got it ready, and I bought several bottles. Zixing, hurry up, after breakfast, I'm going to worship your grandparents. ”
Shen Zixing yawned, his messy and fluffy hair looked listless.
Shen Anhao sat and waited for Shen Yu and Yao Yuxia to sit down.
Half an hour later, Yao Yuxia had just packed up her things and entered the kitchen, when Shi Rulin walked in with a bag of things, and Xiao Yunyun took Shi Yuan's arm and followed behind.
"Now that we've got everything together, let's go." Shen Yu looked at the things in his hand.
"It's all in order, I brought everyone's raincoat and umbrella."
Shen Zixing followed Shen Anhao's side, and every year he walked an hour from his home to the grave.
Along the way, passing through the fields and over the hills. The road was muddy, and Shi Yuan helped Shen Anhao to follow behind.
"When I came last year, the woods were still there." Shen Anhao looked at the hills in the distance.
"I was a day behind you last year." Shi Yuan looked at the road under his feet, and tightly grabbed Shen Anhao's arm in his hand. When Shen Anhao didn't move steadily, he pulled it tighter.
"I know."
Shen Zixing walked in front and listened to Shen Anhao and Shi Yuan's chatter. It turns out that his sister can also talk like this.
Walking to the destination, Shen Anhao and Shi Yuan quietly did not say a word. Shen Anhao's grandfather was buried next door to Shen Anhao's grandmother.
Although Shen Anhao didn't say a word, Shi Yuan felt Shen Anhao's depressed mood. Maybe Shen Anhao is slowly telling Grandpa Shen about his own affairs.
Shi Yuan looked at Shen Congyang's photo, and said wordlessly in his heart, "Don't worry, Grandpa Shen, I didn't bully Shen Anhao." I'll protect her. ”
Shen Yu and Shi Rulin stood in front, and the two glanced at each other, both slowly pouring wine.
"Dad, I'm back with my eldest brother to see you. We've brought your favorite wine. Shen Yu said while reversing.
Shi Rulin was silent and kept pouring wine silently. His biological father passed away when he was young, and Shen Congyang took care of himself like his father and provided for his own education. This affection is family affection in his heart. It is precisely because this love is so deep that I can't forgive myself all these years, it's not that I haven't forgiven Shen Yu, and I feel that I don't have the face to see Shen Yu.
Xiao Yunyun was relieved in his heart, over the years, the two families have even been separated from each other, and now that they can be together, Uncle Shen must be relieved if he knows about it.
"Okay, you can say a few words to grandpa and then go over to worship your grandma." Yao Yuxia looked at Shen Anhao, and kept looking at the chrysanthemum in her eyes.
After everyone passed next door, Shen Anhao talked to himself, laughing and crying softly, crying and laughing. Shi Yuan looked at Shen Anhao like this, stepped forward and gently pulled Shen Anhao up.
"Grandpa Shen will know." Shi Yuan handed Shen An a tissue, and Shen An wiped away his tears.
After returning home after worshipping the loved ones who need to be worshipped, it is already noon.
Lunch was eaten at Shen's house, and after eating, we returned to City A together.
Shen Anhao was in a trance at the moment he got into the car.
"Dad, Mom, I have something to tell Shi Yuan, can I take Uncle Shen's car back?"
"Nope." Shen Zixing reacted very much, as soon as Shi Yuan appeared, Shen Anhao didn't remember that he had a younger brother. When Shi Yuan was away, he was Shen Anhao's favorite brother.
"What are you messing up about, go ahead, you tell Shi Yuan, maybe you won't get motion sickness on the road." Shen Yu waved his hand.
Shen Anhao smiled warmly at Shen Zixing, and left without any nostalgia.
