Chapter 75 Where the Dark Incense Does Not Remain
When Wen's mother got up in the morning of the first day of the new year, she went to offer incense to her deceased husband as usual, but broke a vase with blue glaze, so she was restless for a long time. Looking at the portrait of the deceased husband, there seemed to be a trace of reproach in the eyebrows and eyes of the gods, and his heart was a little heavier.
Since the death of her husband, she has quit her job in the music association, and the three piano recitals fixed every year have also been changed to one, serving her father-in-law at home all day, rarely appearing in front of people, very low-key.
The ladies of the various families who used to play well often enlightened her at the beginning and took her to various venues to feast and relax, but later saw that her heart was like ashes, and she was not interested in anything, so she gradually faded that thought.
On the contrary, I often hear my own children and husbands mention that the Wen family is a young man who has become an adult, participates in the Lu family, and is in a sense of proportion, just like the old Wen back then. It's a pity that her biological daughter is not in good health, and she studies in the south all the year round to recuperate, and the mother and daughter can't see each other, which makes people sigh. But fortunately, the adopted daughter Si'er is beautiful and likable, and she can still bear the joy.
And Wen Lao, since the death of his only son, has become more and more old, and has relieved a lot of the work at hand, often in the morning market to carry the birdcage, take a walk, chat with his peers, sip bean juice, and then go home satisfied.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xin Dayi was still in Heitian Township when his old man lifted the quilt, saying that he must go to Grandpa Wen and Aunt Wen early to pay New Year's greetings, they like children, and they must be happy to see him.
Xin Dayi couldn't stand it: "I'm twenty, what a child." But he still looked at the clothes with his eyes, remembered something, and muttered, "Yan Xi must be there, I haven't seen him for more than half a month, and I don't know what I'm busy with." ”
Old man Xin patted his grandson's brain: "Isn't the Yan kid here?" Be honest, don't mess with a silly face. He finally gave birth for a few days, and he couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, so the old man would die of sorrow! ”
Xin Dayi: "Hey, can he really marry Chu Yun?" I don't believe it, he and Ah Heng are obvious-"
"Say nonsense! The Wen family and the Yan family don't mention it, what are you talking about as an outsider? Saying that you are stupid and you have never been smart, why did Yan Xi take the object to the Wen family for a while, is the Wen family unhappy? Look at the Wen family boy, he's about to become an adult! ”
Xin Dayi pursed his mouth and put on his pants: "They are all my brothers, grandpa, don't talk about it." ”
Xin Lao scolded with a smile: "Forget it, Lao Tzu raised a simple boy, they are smart, let's be smart, we are stupid." ”
Xin Dayi also smiled: "Master, after two years, I will work, and I will bring you a granddaughter-in-law." We will definitely let you be the first to hold your great-grandson in our compound! ”
Xin Lao has always had an old disease, the weather is a little inappropriate, and his legs and feet are not flexible. The son and daughter-in-law had a car accident when they were young, leaving only one grandson, hoping to become an adult as soon as possible, and they couldn't help but spoil them.
Fortunately, Dayi is pure by nature, and his character learning is very good, Xin Lao often feels comforted, and holding his great-grandson is perfect.
When Dayi arrived at Wen's house, Sister-in-law Zhang was cooking rice balls, and it was Si'er who opened the door, she stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "I want to pass through this door and leave to buy road money!" ”
Dayi rubbed Si'er's long hair, took out a sugar bag from his pocket, and threw it to her: "Go, go, little girl, what a fuss about the New Year!" Has Grandpa Wen risen? ”
Si'er raised his eyebrows: "It's up, but, as I said, whoever pays New Year's greetings is invited in, only Xindayi, blast out." ”
Dayi was dumbfounded: "Why? ”
Si'er rolled his eyes: "How do I know, what Grandpa ordered, I will do." ”
Siwan heard the sound, walked over, and smiled: "Er'er coaxed you, grandpa is thinking that Dayi must be the first, and you are still here." ”
Dayi glared at Si'er: "Little girl, the bigger it is, the more annoying it is." ”
Si'er pouted: "As long as you don't bother, every morning, before seven o'clock, I hear your loud voice, and the whole compound will make you collapse." ”
I got out of the way and let go.
Dayi probed and asked Siguan: "Is Yan Xi here, did you spend the New Year here yesterday?" ”
Siguan shook his head and said with a smile: "I called yesterday and said that I couldn't come, I probably went to Lu Liu's house." ”
Dayi saw that he was smiling reluctantly, and secretly convulsed, kissing his mother, stepping on thunder again.
went in and kowtowed to Wen Lao, the old man couldn't close his mouth, sealed a big red envelope and handed it to him.
The two talked for a while, and the doorbell rang again.
Xindayi: "Haha, Yan Xi has arrived. "I thought to myself, maybe there is also a land stream. Looking at Siguan, I can't bear it, I pity my brother's face, and there is a tendency to turn black.
Da Da ran to the entrance and opened the door, and sure enough, it was Yan Xi.
Sindayi patted him on the shoulder: "We've been waiting for you for a long time!" Grandpa Wen is inside. ”
A person walked out from behind Yan Xi and looked at him with very gentle eyes. Distant mountain-like eyebrows, black hair and thin lips, white face, slightly bent down at the corners of the eyes, and a straight nose, harmless and gentle.
A little cramped, she said, "Dayi, long time no see." ”
Dayi's first reaction was not surprise, not sluggishness, not confusion, but to see Yan Xi's expression.
The sharpness between Yan Xi's eyebrows melted eight or nine points, and the breeze and light snow entered his heart.
So he hugged Ah Heng, sighed, and sighed again: "It can only be you." ”
Ah Heng patted him on the shoulder, this young man who had been with her for a long time and never abandoned his friends, made her only miss him from the bottom of her heart.
She said, "How much have I changed that you don't even recognize me?" ”
Da Yi grabbed her head and rubbed it vigorously, and her eyes turned red: "Grandma, let's not play in the future, will we disappear?" ”
Ah Heng nodded, choked up, and said, "Okay." ”
He said, "If you do it again, Yan Xi's nine lives are not enough." ”
Yan Xi watched the two hug each other, his hand retracted into his pocket, and his heart was like a chrysalis broken out of a cocoon, and he found the last strength.
He laughs, and that's his weakness.
stepped forward, quietly hugged the two, and quietly shed tears.
His home, his friend.
Incomparably abundant meaning.
In the entrance, Wen Siguan stood in the shadows, his hands hanging weakly.
He said, "Ah Heng, you're back." But he couldn't open his arms and come to a full brother's hug, he had already been broken off his wings, just because of the surname Wen.
So he could only smile slightly, and the corner of his mouth was a small vortex.
This is like the father of Ji, Ah Heng has no inheritance of the unique, so he has a unique baptism of fate.
After Ah Heng left, he once fell into his mother's arms and cried weakly, unable to be a strong man: "Mom, why me, why not my sister?" ”
His mother hit him for the first time in her life. She said: "Your surname is Wen, and the men of the Wen family will never back down." Your grandfather did not flinch on the battlefield for the sake of his comrades-in-arms; Your father did not flinch at sea, for the sake of his homeland; And you, for the sake of your sister, can't back down either! ”
He shed tears, like a child, mom, mom, what a price.
Wen's mother smiled: "How long is there in the future, Wen Siguan, are you going to admit defeat now?" ”
His mother, who had just lost her husband, taught him not to admit defeat. And that old thing is eternal, and even time can't wash away the heaviness.
He looked at Ah Heng.
The girl's eyes were a deep estrangement, and she was at a loss, and she whispered: "Siguan, I'm sorry." ”
Siwan smiled: "Why do you say you're sorry?" ”
Ah Heng thought about what he was for, and said seriously: "I'm sorry, I'm back." ”
She spoke politely and clearly, and it was so ridiculous that she said sorry to her brother in order to go home.
Siwan shrugged: "It's cold outside, come in and talk again." ”
Mother Wen, who gave birth to Ah Heng, had a cold face, and looked at her deeply, almost with eyes without temperature. In a blink of an eye, he moved to the beautiful and tall young man, and asked coldly, "Yanxi, how did you promise me?" ”
Yan Xi looked at her with wide eyes and did not flinch: "Auntie, I have always known it, even instinct. ”
How, let her be whole, let her be happy.
Even, at some point, no one knows better than him that part of Ah Heng only makes sense to have him.
Wen Lao sighed: "Xiaoxi and Dayi have breakfast with me, Ah Heng hasn't come back for a long time, and I will talk to your mother in the room for a while." ”
Then, Yan Xi spent a whole day at Wen's house, but he didn't see Ah Heng.
In the middle of the night, Wen Lao brewed the third Biluo Spring, and the soup was already light. He waved his hand: "Xiaoxi, you go home." "His eyes are wise, but he is tired.
Yan Xi squinted his eyes and froze in the room where Ah Heng disappeared.
Dayi squeezed his eyes and eased the atmosphere: "Grandpa Wen, we will come to see you tomorrow." ”
Wen Lao smiled: "I know that you have filial piety, and there are many things at home during the Spring Festival, especially Xiaoxi, you have to take all the ideas yourself, and you are busy with your own." I have the three of them, no matter how bad they are, and a birdcage. ”
Dayi hesitated, but in the end, the two got up and said goodbye politely.
That room, with its deep passage, was still locked.
Siguan chased out of the door and said seriously to Yan Xi: "Don't worry, Ah Heng will be fine." ”
Yan Xi looked at him: "Do you promise?" ”
Siwan smiled, his dimples deepened, and nodded slightly: "I promise, Yanxi." ”
The tone was very sacred, as if they had returned to their childhood of friendship and invincibility.
Dayi smiled as he walked: "What do you promise, they won't send Ah Heng to the edge of the sky overnight, so that you won't see you again." ”
Yan Xi raised snow from the ground and smashed him: "You know again! Then, gasping for air, "Sometimes, I wish she had been born to me!" ”
Then there will be no more boundless troubles, and there will be no more troubles that have no stand.
Dayi plucked out his ears and shook a mouthful of white teeth: "I should not have heard this, you will think about it in the future, and you don't have to kill me, a witness." He smiled again, "Yanxi, I'll bet you with a hundred yuan, if Ah Heng is really born by you, you will cry to death." ”
Ah Heng knelt in front of his father's spirit all night.
She said, "Mom, Dad doesn't like it here. It's so dark and Dad loves where the sun can reach directly, like the sea. ”
Mother Wen took a stick and hit Ah Heng's back, and every time she struck, there was a clear sound.
Ah Heng lowered his head: "Mom, my parents who are affected by the skin of my body, I don't dare to destroy them at will." However, my mother beat me, but didn't she feel pain? Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat from her teeth, and the corners of her eyes were clean and flawless.
Mother Wen cried, and her emotions almost collapsed: "Who asked you to come back, who allowed you to come back!" ”
Ah Heng's eyes were hollow: "Mom, it turns out that you really won't hurt." ”
Mother Wen's voice became poignant: "It's in vain that your father has worked so hard to be a daughter who is not angry!" What's the use of you, what's the use of you! Picked up the stick, went crazy, and smashed it on Ah Heng.
She bit her lip and bent her spine, looking up to see her father's portrait, standing high on the table, compassionate.
remembered what my father said: "Ah Heng, if we rush home from the Gu family on your mother's birthday, will it be a big surprise?" Ah Heng, don't tell your mother, we'll surprise her, pull the hook, haha. ”
But, Mom, I brought it back to Dad, and you weren't happy.
Ah Heng suddenly felt very tired, and she said, "Mom, if you meant to kill me, go here." Pointing to her head, she looked at her mother, her eyes childish and gentle.
The stick, downward, dripping with blood, bright red, mad.
"If not, I'm sleepy, can you let me ...... Get some sleep? ”
In a moment, it's fine.
The woman suddenly reacted to what she had done, threw away the stick, hugged Ah Heng and cried: "Ah Heng Ah Heng, mom is sorry for you!" ”
She couldn't speak, struggled to her feet, felt the door, opened it, and saw the air in her eyes and the sound of the wind in her ears.
Walk, walk, only the instinct of walking remains.
Siwan, who had been hesitating outside the door for a long time, wanted to help her, but Ah Heng avoided his hand, and there was no focus in his eyes.
Stairs, one step at a time.
Mourning is greater than heart death, and the back is torn, but I don't feel the slightest pain.
walked into the room, locked the door, hugged the phone, and cried in a dumb voice in front of the microphone.
"Yanxi, I have finally lost my nature to love my mother forever."
A child loves his mother's nature.
