Chapter 513: The Swan Song of Love (5)
In order to help the villagers sell a variety of handmade products and their own agricultural products (such as potato flour, potato vermicelli, chili powder and other local specialties), Chen Laixiang and Lan Mei set up a special counter for local products in the supermarket. Later, Yang Qianfeng came back once and found that Xu Erfu's business was very poor, so he suggested that he also take the processed things to Xiangmei Supermarket to sell, and called Chen Laixiang on the spot to tell him about it, and Chen Laixiang immediately agreed. So Xu Erfu made all kinds of iron utensils in the blacksmith shop, such as kitchen knives, wood knives, hoes, scissors, axes, etc., entered the counter of the supermarket.
In order to let everyone know about these local products, Yang Lanmei specially made two advertisements at the counter: one specifically introduced the handmade products and authentic local products of Baiguo Village; The other is dedicated to Xu Erfu's handmade products. Because these products and local products are genuine, they are very easy to sell, especially Xu Erfu's products, because the blacksmith shop business in the countryside is not good, many have closed, and there are still very few of them, and the elderly in the city and the farmers who need these utensils still like such things, so his products sell very well, basically there is no inventory, and then Xu Erfu is busy, and he has made some money in recent years.
At noon, Zhu Maorong and Xu Erfu prepared a sumptuous Chinese meal, and after the dishes were ready, Xu Erfu took out a bottle of wine that had been opened a long time ago and came to Yang Qianfeng and said, "The first time we come to my house for dinner, we must have a few drinks." ”
Yang Qianfeng held the cup with his hand and said, "I received the heart, I've been very tired recently, so I won't drink the wine." ”
Xu Erfu was anxious when he heard this, and said: "There is no banquet without wine, and besides, you can't drink, drink less when you are tired." ”
Yang Qianfeng shook his head, and then discussed: "Is it okay to keep it for next time?" ”
Xu Erfu refused, and said resolutely: "Next time there will be wine next time, and you must drink this wine when it is opened today." ”
Yang Qianfeng thought for a while and said, "You give me the wine bottle, I'll cover it and save it for next time." So saying, he held out his hand to him and asked him to give him the bottle.
Xu Erfu was even more anxious, took a step back and said, "If you don't drink this wine today, you will look down on my Erfu." ”
Zhu Maorong hurriedly followed: "Qianfeng, every time you husband and wife come back, they ask us to go to your parents' place, and we haven't invited you to a meal for so many years, we have always felt unhappy, today is really good to meet the opportunity, besides, Erfu really wants to have a drink with you, you can drink a little!" ”
Xu Erfu nodded, blushed and said: "Mao Rong is right, in addition to the relationship between classmates, you have also helped us so much, we should have invited you to a meal, but you don't let us do it every time you come back, I know that you are caring and considerate of us, don't trouble us, and save us money, but we can still afford to invite you to a meal." ”
Yang Qianfeng glared at him and said, "Don't think about it, we don't want to save you money, and we know that you can afford it." Saying that, he glanced at Chen Laixiang and said, "I want to take care of Laixiang, so I won't drink it." ”
When Zhu Maorong and Xu Erfu heard him say this, they all looked at Chen Laixiang and didn't dare to persuade him anymore.
Chen Laixiang and Yang Qianfeng were sitting together, and when she saw this situation, she smiled affectionately at Yang Qianfeng and said, "Ah Feng, just drink less!" I'm fine. Then she looked at Xu Erfu and his wife and said seriously: "Ah Feng will never look down on you, we are all good classmates, good friends, or good neighbors, it is right to help you, polite words and what to look down on in the future, we will not say anything together, in fact, Ah Feng is really not easy, since I got sick, he has not been out of the house anymore, he has not touched a drop of wine for a few months, originally he likes to work, it can be said that he is a workaholic, since I got sick, he has been centered on me, The main focus is on me, even when I go to work, he also cares about me, and he has to call me once an hour. When I go home, I have to make people happy, in fact, it is easy to make people happy for a while, and it is not easy to make people happy every day. Saying that, she hugged Yang Qianfeng's arm tightly and continued: "But he always tries to make me happy, in fact, I know that when he is making me happy, his heart is not necessarily really happy, this feeling is only I know." ”
When Zhu Maorong heard Chen Laixiang say this, tears flowed down unconsciously, and Xu Erfu choked his throat and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot that Laixiang is a patient." ”
Chen Laixiang snorted and said with a smile: "It's okay, I haven't been together for a long time, of course you have to be happy and drink when you get together, Ah Feng, you and Erfu drink, and I will have dinner with Maorong." ”
During the meal, they talked a lot about the past, of course, after talking about it, Chen Laixiang finally said to Zhu Maorong and his wife: "The counter of Xiangmei Supermarket is open to you, even if I leave, you work hard, life will definitely get better and better." ”
Xu Erfu was also a temperamental, and after drinking some wine, he couldn't control it anymore, and tears flowed down his eyes, and Zhu Maorong cried............
During the trip to Baiguo Village, although Yang Qianfeng made emergency preparations for Chen Laixiang, he still wanted to go back to the city as much as possible that day, because he was afraid that Chen Laixiang would have a lot of uncertain thoughts and emotions after seeing the cemetery and cause physical discomfort or labor pain, so he was going to go home after dinner at his eldest brother's house.
After returning from dinner at Zhu Maorong's house, Chen Laixiang fell on the bed and said, "Ah Feng, let's stay here for one night and go back tomorrow." ”
When Yang Qianfeng heard her say this, he slept beside her and looked at her and said, "I'm still going to go home after dinner at my eldest brother's house!" ”
Chen Laixiang pouted and said, "Isn't this our home?" I don't care, I just want to sleep here for the night. ”
Yang Qianfeng saw that not only did not happen the situation he thought from looking at the cemetery to now, but also was in a good mood, thinking that it should be fine, and said: "Of course this is our home, as long as you are in a good mood, I will listen to you in everything." ”
Chen Laixiang said happily: "Ah Feng is so good! Saying that, he kissed him on the mouth and then said: "I think like this: I will eat at my eldest brother's house at night, go to see my second brother and sister-in-law tomorrow, have a lunch at their house, and finally say hello to Uncle Lishou and Teacher Xiaorong and go back." ”
When Yang Qianfeng heard her say this, he suddenly thought that she was saying her final goodbye to her family and fellow villagers, and a wave of sour water immediately surged in her heart, and tears almost rushed out. But he didn't say it, just nodded knowingly and said, "Do as you say." ”
During the time spent with the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the sister-in-law kept wiping her eyes, especially when she talked to the eldest brother about how to make the tomb, the sister-in-law couldn't listen to it and ran outside to cry.
When they returned from the house of their second brother and sister-in-law the next day, Yang Xiaorong (Yang Qianfeng's colleague when he was a private teacher, and later Chen Laixiang and she also became friends) were already waiting for them at their doorstep. Chen Laixiang said: "We are leaving immediately, and we are about to go and say hello to you!" ”
Yang Xiaorong went up and grabbed her hand and said, "How can that work?" I'm just afraid that you will leave suddenly, so I'm waiting for you here, I've got the dishes ready, and the forward's former colleagues Hu Yongan and Xie Xiaogen are also waiting for you at my house, you must have dinner before leaving. ”
Yang Qianfeng was about to say, "It's still early, so I won't eat dinner." Hearing her say this, I couldn't say anything again. Glancing at Chen Laixiang, she said happily: "Since this is the case, then let's have dinner and then leave." ”
Yang Xiaorong said happily: "Then let's go!" ”
Chen Laixiang said: "You go back first, Ah Feng will accompany me to say hello to some elders in the village and go to your house." ”
After Yang Xiaorong left, the sister-in-law came over and said, "Uncle Lishou and a few old people have come several times, and they want to invite you to their house for dinner in the evening!" ”
Chen Laixiang smiled and said: "I have received their wishes, they are all so old, how can we eat their food!" ”
The sister-in-law said: "I also said the same, whether to go to Teacher Xiaorong's place, she has been waiting for you for a long time, if you don't go, I will make dinner immediately." ”
Yang Qianfeng said: "Don't be busy, let's go to Xiaorong's house, and we'll go back after dinner." ”
Chen Laixiang waved her hand to her sister-in-law, took Yang Qianfeng's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go and say hello to Uncle Lishou and thank them for their kindness." ”
Yang Qianfeng followed Chen Laixiang to say hello to all the people in the village who should have said hello, and then went to Yang Xiaorong's house.
Baiguo's trip, in fact, as Yang Qianfeng thought, Chen Laixiang's purpose was to say her final goodbye, because she knew that she would stay here forever when she died, but it might be the last time she came here alive in this life, so she just wanted to see the mountains, the water and the people here for the last time.
But what neither Chen Laixiang nor Yang Qianfeng expected was that when they returned home, they found their parents, parents-in-law and all the people living in the city waiting for them to come back at their home. Chen Laixiang saw this situation and knew that everyone was worried about herself, especially her parents-in-law and her parents, since she was sick, she had been in a bad mood, and they were carrying her tears on her back, so she smiled and said as soon as she entered the door: "Ah Feng, there is a family meeting today!" It's basically all there. ”
Lan Mei walked over and hugged Chen Laixiang and said: "Sister, I really can't hide it from the four old people, so I told them that you went to the house to choose a cemetery for yourself, but I didn't want to disturb you, so I called the eldest brother, and the eldest brother said that you were already on the way back after dinner, and the parents wanted to see you, and we didn't worry, so we all came." ”
It is one of the cruelest things in the world for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, and the four old men heard that Chen Laixiang chose a cemetery for himself, and their feelings were even more indescribable.
Looking at a large family and thinking about the appearance of everyone on the trip to Baiguo when they saw her, although Chen Laixiang was very moved, she suddenly found that so many people were being tortured because of herself, and her heart became sad.
From the next day, she was basically closed at home, she didn't want to see others cry for her, and besides, she had basically done the same thing she had to do.
