Chapter 394: The Old Man
[Chapter 1, Volume 1]
Section 394 Chapter 394 The Deceased
You know, as a parent, you don't care how valuable your children's gifts are, and most importantly, a heart. Now, Duan Zheng likes the gifts of Duan Yu and Duan Qingming very much, and at the same time he is very moved, what he is moved by is not a gift, but filial piety.
And Duan Qingming and Duan Yu's filial piety really moved Duan Zheng.
The three of them were having a good time, Aunt Zhang came, and the gift she brought was a freshly sewn cotton coat, which was very beautiful and atmospheric, and Duan Zheng was wearing it, just right.
Duan Zheng didn't have too many surprises when he saw the clothes sewn by Aunt Zhang, but when he took the clothes, he said lightly: "You are a person with a body, these jobs will be handed over to the subordinates to do in the future." ”
Aunt Zhang thanked Duan Zheng, and then sat on the seat specially given by Duan Zheng stiffly, not daring to move.
The atmosphere in the room, because of Aunt Zhang's arrival, seemed a little colder. Aunt Zhang sat for a while, then retired with interest, leaving the space to this pair of father and son, father and daughter.
Duan Yu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "Daddy, today is the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, how about you take us out for a walk?" ”
When Duan Qingming heard this, she was disgusted for a while: "Yu'er, it's almost the New Year, you still want to run out?" Can you stay at home quietly and don't go out? ”
Because Duan Zheng is very busy on weekdays, he basically doesn't go home, so as soon as he returns to the house, if he has nothing else to do, he basically won't leave the house. Now, it is the end of the year again, and Duan Qingming is really afraid that Duan Yu's suggestion is too abrupt and will cause Duan Zheng's displeasure.
Duan Zheng listened, but he smiled slightly: "This is the New Year, and it will be Yu'er's seven-year-old mangshou."
Duan Yu listened, but nodded obediently, and said: "Back to Daddy's words, Yu'er's Mangshou is only more than twenty days later than Daddy, and it is the sixteenth of the first month. ”
Duan Zheng nodded and did not speak. It's just that he suddenly took Duan Yu's hand and stood up: "Okay, Daddy will take Duan Yu out for a walk." ”
When Duan Yu heard this, he immediately smiled and squinted, and he said loudly, "Thank you, Daddy." ”
Duan Qingming on the side frowned. But before she could say anything, Duan Zheng had already smiled and said: "Okay, Ming'er, it's almost the New Year, it's rare to have half a day of leisure, Daddy will take you for a walk to see how other people's New Year is spent." ”
Duan Qingming's heart that had been hanging fell at this point. She took Duan Zheng's other hand and walked out with him.
Duan Zheng didn't want to go out on a whim, and when he saw a pair of children, he suddenly remembered some old things.
At that time, he had not yet married, because of the special Mangshou, and the special fortune teller's approval, so as soon as Duan Zheng arrived in Mangshou, he would go to a village in the suburbs alone, and he would get drunk for a day.
It was there that he met that special woman. And for the first time, I met Ding Rou, the young lady of the Imperial History Mansion.
People's memories are very strange, and some people want to forget, but they can't forget them. But there are some things that I want to remember, but I can't remember.
The carriage went out of the city in the silent streets, and it didn't take long for the carriage to stop. Duan Qingming stood in front of the carriage and looked around, where he looked, it was full of ice and snow, and only a small Zhuangzi sat there coldly, lonely like autumn snow on the branches.
That Zhuangzi, from a distance, already has some history, black rubble, vicissitudes of green bricks, and even the steps in front of the door are covered with moss of life and death, several reincarnations.
Duan Zheng jumped out of the carriage first, hugged Duan Yu down, and then went to pull Duan Qingming.
The winter in the suburbs seemed to be colder, Duan Yu was holding on to the cold air, and his little face was red from the cold, but the expression on his face was extremely excited. He looked around and asked with some curiosity, "Daddy, what is this place?" ”
Duan Qingming also stood to the side, looking at Duan Zheng a little nervously, as if she wanted to hear how he answered.
Duan Zheng covered Duan Yu's little hand in his warm big hand and rubbed it, and then replied in a low voice: "This is when my father met my mother...... place. ”
The rest of the words were still not spoken. Duan Zheng had already taken Duan Yu's little hand and walked inside.
Tie Feng had already parked the carriage, took the first step, knocked on the knocker, the door opened, and an old man came forward to open the door, and when he saw Duan Zheng at first glance, he didn't seem to recognize it. At a glance, the old man's body went limp, and he fell to the cold floor, choking and calling: "Sanyang." ”
Duan Zheng took the first step and helped the old man up. Clapped his hand: "Uncle Zhen is still the same, it hasn't changed at all." ”
Uncle Zhen wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "San Lang hasn't been here for a long time. ”
Duan Zheng seemed to sigh, but didn't say anything, only said, "I'll go in and have a look." ”
As soon as Duan Zheng came here, it seemed that people had become much heavier, Duan Qingming and Duan Yu obediently followed behind Duan Zheng, and they were smart silent with each other and did not speak.
This is an ordinary house with a three-entry yard. Behind the house, there was a large open space, where the crops had already been harvested, and only the bare frost and snow were exposed, and the ground was white.
This place, in the early years, was bought by Duan Zheng, and then repaired, and the original appearance of the house was well preserved.
Duan Zheng's expression seemed to be in a trance, and he seemed to have forgotten who was following him, just walking straight inside. Duan Yu still wanted to go forward, but Duan Qingming on one side pulled him hard. Duan Yu obediently stopped. And Tie Feng also seemed to be a little strange about Duan Qingming's actions, and in a moment's confusion, Duan Qingming had already smiled at Uncle Zhen and said, "Uncle Xu, right?" My brother and I are here for the first time, and we hope that Uncle Zhen will show us around. ”
When Uncle Zhen heard this, he readily agreed, and the group walked towards the other side of Zhuangzi.
People talk a lot and nag repeatedly. And what Uncle Zhen talked about was also Duan Zheng's old things. Duan Qingming seemed to be listening carefully, and seemed to be a little absent-minded. They had just turned a corner when they suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Qingming, why are you here?" ”
Duan Qingming raised her eyes and saw that it was a spring peach. Her eyes flashed, and she said happily: "Oh, Aunt Chuntao, why are you here?" ”
Uncle Zhen heard Duan Qingming's surprise, and hurriedly said: "This is the old man's niece, every year on New Year's Eve, she will come to see the old man." ”
Chun Tao stepped forward generously, held Duan Qingming's hand, and said with a smile: "Yes, I come here every year to see my uncle, but I didn't expect that you would also come to Qingming." ”
Chun Tao said, glancing at the back of the house, intentionally or unintentionally.
Duan Qingming clenched Chun Tao's hand, and also smiled slightly, she replied: "Yes, today is my father's Mangshou, and his old man has a temporary idea to come here for a walk." ”
Duan Qingming said, while beckoning Duan Yu to come over, he saw Aunt Chuntao.
Duan Yu was originally well-behaved, but at this time, he stepped forward to salute in a proper manner, and the group followed Chun Tao and walked towards the house on the side.
Because it was winter, there was already a fire in this house. As soon as the group walked into the house, they felt a very warm atmosphere. However, the body that had been frozen began to melt, and I suddenly felt that my fingers were numb. There is no feeling at all.
Tie Feng only accompanied Duan Qingming here, and left because he was not worried about the carriage. And Uncle Zhen rarely sees people here, and at this time, he also happily prepared tea and snacks. In the room, only Chun Tao and Duan Qingming were left.
Duan Qingming whispered, "Aunt Chuntao, how is your aunt now?" ”
Chun Tao shook her head slightly: "It's not very good......
Chun Tao's words made Duan Qingming's heart tighten. Fortunately, Chun Tao continued: "It's just that she still listened to me and came." ”
At this moment, Duan Qingming's heart finally fell back into her stomach.
Since the last time I met Chun Tao on the street and saw Du Qingluan, Duan Qingming had an idea in her heart, that is, to become Duan Zheng and Du Qingluan.
Duan Qingming has been thinking about Duan Zheng's affairs since she was reborn, and after overthrowing Liu Rong, Duan Qingming felt that Duan Mansion could not do without a hostess, and if she really wanted to find a companion for Duan Zheng, there was no one more suitable than Du Qingluan.
For this reason, Duan Qingming teamed up with Duan Yu and Chun Tao to finally bring this pair of former lovers back together.
It's just that the word "help" is so limited, and the rest depends on Duan Zheng and Du Qingluan themselves.
