On the twentieth day of the first month, the day wears the festival.

This is the first traditional festival after the Lantern Festival, according to different regions, there are several sayings such as the 10th, 20th, 23rd and 25th of the first month, but most of them are still based on the twentieth day of the first month, also known as the "Mending Heaven Festival", which originates from the mythical story of Nuwa mending the sky. Because legend has it that on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Nuwa came from Kunlun Mountain to refine the five-colored stone to make up the sky, save mankind and water and fire, and it is also a festival when people look forward to good weather and good weather, agricultural harvest, and peace and tranquility.

In addition, this is the only festival in all the traditional festivals in China that is presided over by the housewife, but since the Song Dynasty, the records of the Heavenly Piercing Festival have gradually decreased, and now, there are only a few places in the country that still preserve this traditional festival, and most people have never even heard of it.

Just after ten o'clock in the morning, we came to the bus station because of the new city, which seemed a little deserted, after getting off the train, my father went to find a place to park, and we entered the ticket hall, my mother was Zhang Xiaowei affectionately held an arm, three women and a baby, plus a small bag of Yuan Jinzhu went to the waiting area, I went to the window to buy tickets.

Nothing has changed, and it has been a foregone conclusion that I will continue to stay in my hometown since the old man spoke on the night of the sixteenth. The reason why I stayed for two more days was because Zhang Xiaowei wanted to explain our affairs to her parents clearly, and at the same time, it was also to give some explanations to my parents and parents, so that they could settle down a little.

Judging from the attitude of Zhang Xiaowei's parents, although they can't talk about liking me as a future son-in-law for the time being, none of the bad things I have thought about in fear before, and those who strongly oppose us being together have not happened.

If you don't object at this stage, it's already a relatively good situation, so after the initial contact between my mother and them, I also talked to Zhang Xiaowei's parents, and after answering some questions, our matter is preliminarily decided, and after the current period of time, the two families will officially talk about marriage and integration.

The car to the provincial capital is a two-hour shift, after buying the ticket, there is still nearly an hour before the departure, which is relatively abundant, enter the waiting area, sit down next to it, and after saying a few words, Zhang Xiaowei habitually wants to take the ticket from my hand, but I hesitated, some reluctant to give.

"Stingy bag, you can't even look at it."

Seeing that I squirmed and refused to give, Zhang Xiaowei couldn't help but smile, then turned her head and continued to talk to my mother, Sister Yun, and didn't continue to ask for it.

There is actually a reason for saying that I am a stingy bag.

Although my daughter-in-law repeatedly said that everything depended on me, and after careful consideration, I also made the decision to postpone the discussion of marriage for a while, but I was hesitant about whether she should return to the provincial capital or simply stay at home. There is no doubt that I want her to stay, and finally turned a beautiful daughter-in-law home, and it is when she is like glue, where is willing to suddenly become a long-distance relationship.

But if you leave your little daughter-in-law behind, you will inevitably be distracted and unable to focus all your energy on learning the real painting spirit art from the old man.

The little daughter-in-law naturally saw my dilemma, and knew that the next period of time was very important to me, so when I hesitated again and again last night, and finally asked her in a tentative tone if she wanted to stay, she chose to shake her head, and analyzed the impact that she would have on me, focusing on whether it would make the old man unhappy and disappointed.

Although the old man has never said anything about our relationship, it is in our own hands from beginning to end, even if we choose to get married immediately, he will smile and wait for the apprentice grandson, but in fact, we all know that he must hope that I can put the emotional matter aside for the time being, otherwise I will not make such an arrangement.

I naturally understand what Zhang Xiaowei said, this life was saved by the old man, since he inherited the mantle, he naturally can't let the old man down, but when I really heard Zhang Xiaowei say this, I didn't know what to think, and suddenly I had a little temper, and wronged her because she wanted to leave before saying this.

Knowing that I was reluctant and somewhat aggrieved, Zhang Xiaowei naturally didn't take the bastard words I said seriously, but tried to make me feel better with all her tenderness.

But once the little emotions come up, and then there is an understanding little woman coaxing on the side, how can it be so easy to dissipate, although they are clear in their hearts, and they also accept this fact, but after spoiling, sullenness is also indispensable.

Until I woke up in the morning, the faint gloom did not dissipate, but as I got closer to the moment of farewell, it began to appear more and more intense, and the little daughter-in-law had to helplessly and amusefully coax for a while, before reluctantly getting up to wash and help pack her luggage.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up, when I came, I brought two changes of clothes, and some skin care products and other small things, when I played everywhere in the back, my mother bought two more sets, only took away what my mother bought, and brought it to be washed and sorted out and put into the cabinet, saying that I would keep it for the next time I came back, and those small things that belonged to women were also left in more than half, announcing that this home has begun to usher in a new hostess.

Then I had an early meal and walked out of the house with a hint of reluctance.

Stingy? Admittedly, it's stingy, but I'm willing.

I didn't dare to show it when I was at home, because there was an old man, and now they have all come to the station, and they will be separated in a while.

"I want to go to the toilet, come with me." was drilling in the tip of the horns, unhappy and cool, having fun with himself, and Zhang Xiaowei's voice came to his ears inadvertently.

When I looked back, my little daughter-in-law was looking at me with a smile in her eyes.

"I want to go too, let's go together." Yuan who had just reacted and didn't speak, and Yuan someone, who couldn't interject next to him, stood up suddenly, and was about to go outside as he spoke, and was stared at by Sister Yun who was smiling inexplicably, and then he understood that the so-called going to the toilet was just a reason, so he had to scratch his head, and sat down again with a confused and self-doubting face: "Forget it, I don't really want to go, it's rare to run away, you can go by yourself." ”

Although he was hypocritical, he wouldn't be so hypocritical that he didn't even want the last chance to be alone, so he stood up without saying a word, and his heart was snickering, but his face was indifferent.

After waiting outside the public toilet for two minutes, Zhang Xiaowei came out, and instead of returning to the waiting area, he was grabbed by a hand and dragged outside, and did not speak, because they didn't need to talk to each other anymore. Leaving the ticket hall and coming to the empty bus stop outside, I was wondering where this was going to take me and what the intention was, but the little daughter-in-law suddenly turned around, wrapped her hands around my waist, and stood on tiptoe gently.

My body stiffened slightly, but I quickly recovered, and the gloom that lingered in my heart began to dissipate, replaced by a touch of softness.

"Fool, are you feeling better now?" A minute later, the softness of the lips slowly left in a faint reluctance, and then the little daughter-in-law looked at me and asked, the smile on her face seemed to be mixed with nectar.

In fact, how can there be so many bad things, it's just that he is not willing to separate, but Mr. Lu Xun said that hypocrisy is addictive, so although his heart has actually blossomed, he still refuses to admit it on his face, pouting and not speaking.

"Don't be upset, after all, that's where we started, and there's a shop here, we can't leave it unattended, if it's completely left to the madman and Yang Xiaotian, I'm afraid it won't be long before it opens." So I'll go back first, sort out the store, and then go back to my parents' house to accompany them, and then I'll come home to see you, okay? Well-behaved, obedient. Seeing that I was still depressed, the little daughter-in-law smiled and said, like coaxing a child.

This sentence went back to my parents' house to accompany them, and came home to see me, and suddenly said that it was so comfortable in my heart.

The crying baby has milk to eat, which is really an eternal truth.

"Okay, in that case, then I will reluctantly approve you to go."

"Reluctantly? Still not satisfied? As soon as I heard this, the little daughter-in-law was immediately unhappy, grabbed the flesh on both cheeks of me and asked, and then put her claws into my coat, and her cool hand went straight to her armpits.

"Satisfied, of course, but if you agree to my request, you will be even more satisfied." Tickled by her, my face suddenly couldn't hold back anymore, and I grabbed the hand on my chest and laughed.

"What requirements?"

The ill-intentioned hehe smiled, I scratched my head and said, "What, anyway, I'm already your person, and I can't get rid of it anymore." In that case, you just let me enjoy the treatment in advance and call out what it is. ”

"What's it called?" Zhang Xiaowei asked subconsciously, and soon thought of the answer from my expression and tone, and her little face turned red for a moment: "You want to be beautiful, confess even if you have confessed at the airport that time, but you haven't proposed yet." ”

"Think about it?"

"No, I can't call it, I'm not as cheeky as you."

"Scream, it's not for you to scream, as long as I hear it alone."

"No, it's too sudden, I can't call it."

“……”

In a faint reluctance, the people who had begun to be inseparable finally got on the bus to the provincial capital, and as the bus engine started, it drove away from the platform little by little, and gradually drove away from the exit of the station.

When I walked quickly through the station building and onto the sidewalk, the bus had already passed the bus stop that had been lingering on the street just now, and was speeding away, and it was no longer possible to see the face through the window.

Although I was reluctant, at this moment, I was still quite satisfied, the only thing that was a little rare was that the little daughter-in-law still didn't call out those two words in the end. It's not that I don't want to, but I really can't call it, although I also wonder why it's so difficult to call these two words, but since I really can't do it, I can't force it, anyway, it's a matter of time.

As I have begun to change to my family, no, I am already a big and small family member, and even if this year is really over, it is time for me to readjust my mood and meet the next life in my hometown.

How long will it take? I can't estimate it at all, I just know that it won't be short, and I know that the old man must be like me, and I hope that the sooner the better.

I didn't rush home, but first went to buy some daily things, fresh meat and other dishes that I couldn't eat at home, and bought two sets of tunics and clothes for the old man, two pairs of new liberation shoes, a new hat, and a set for my grandfather before rushing home.

The old man has two sets of clothes all year round, and he takes them with him wherever he goes, and it is basically impossible to buy him a new one, but since he wants to live at home in the near future, he can no longer completely rely on his temperament, and he will add two sets to everything.

When they got home, the two old men didn't know whose house they had mixed lunch, and drank some wine, which was prepared for them, and the food that only needed to be heated when they ate had not been touched at all, and it was rare that they were not full of wine and food, so they went out to wander around the mountains and villages, and one person and a recliner basked in the sun in the courtyard. The little yellow dog Huanhuan was lying on the ground in the middle of the two recliners, got up and shook his head to welcome us after opening the door and coming in, he also looked out of the door, as if he felt that the person had not come back yet, until I closed the door, I knew that it was only us, Sister Yun Zhang Xiaowei They would not come back, and then returned to the original position, with her head resting on the two front paws, looking a little depressed.

It seems that not only people, but even this little thing, has been accustomed to the lively atmosphere at home for most of the month, but now it is suddenly quiet, and it is not very suitable for a while.

Maybe it's not good to brush the hearts of my parents, or maybe it's because of this lively New Year, my heart has changed somewhat, when my father took out the newly bought clothes and let me try to see if they fit, the old man didn't say a word, and he happily took off the old tunic on his body and did it. After trying, I refolded it and went upstairs to put it back in my grandfather's room, moved a small stool to the yard and sat down, and after a few digressions, I was asked to prepare some tools, and tomorrow we will start to build a temporary living shed, and we will not live at home for the next period of time.

"If you don't live at home, you want to go outside and build a shed to live?" Hearing that the old man's second arrangement was actually this, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, why do you want to live outside? The key is, where is this shed?

"The place has been decided, and it will be set up in the cemetery of the girl who died unjustly." Seeing that I was confused, the old man said again.

I was completely stunned again.

It's just that if you don't live at home, you still go to the cemetery to live? The point is that it was a place where people deliberately used the barbaric method of "Yi Qi", which seriously damaged the original confidence, caused two completely different qi veins to conflict, and constantly gathered yin.
