Chapter 116: Pansy
[Comfort: Father is kind and filial piety, children and grandchildren are well-behaved and sensible! ] 】
Duan Yiqiao carefully avoided pedestrians, walked steadily through the old street, and when he reached a quieter place, he asked, "Mom has bought all the ingredients, right?"
"I bought it early, she and her grandmother came at seven o'clock, and they were already busy cooking at this time."
"Then let's go back and help."
"Brother, there are few people, you can ride faster."
When standing in front of his old bungalow, looking at the garden that was neatly organized, Duan Yiqiao smiled happily.
I haven't been back for months, and the home is still the same home, just adding some fireworks.
"Mom and I have been cleaning up for the past two days, are you okay, brother?" Duan Chuntong said while holding his backpack.
"Yes, it's clean." The two stepped down the cobblestone path and walked into the old bungalow.
As soon as I pushed the door, I heard various cooking sounds of chopping, frying and frying from the kitchen, followed by the smell of green onions.
Duan Yiqiao shouted inside, "Grandma, Mom, I'm back."
"My eldest grandson is back!" Grandma Duan, who was still picking vegetables with both hands, immediately walked out of the kitchen to greet her.
He trotted over and hugged the old man, "Grandma, I'm back."
A simple sentence was very reassuring, and Grandma Duan patted him twice with the back of her hand, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
"Let's go, grandma, let's do it together."
Duan Yiqiao was about to touch his hands, but Shen Ruyun hurriedly called out to him, "Qiao, don't help yet, go to the library to pick up your grandfather back."
"Okay~"
Duan Yiqiao's grandfather's name is Duan Qingrui, who works in the library of Xidao District, not far from his home, which is just six bus stops. As soon as he heard Duan Chuntong say that his grandfather rode an electric car, Duan Yiqiao didn't ride an electric car, and ran to the bus stop to take a bus to the library.
After arriving at the station in about ten minutes, Duan Yiqiao continued to trot, through a hundred-meter alley, and then through a square, and climbed a row of large stone stairs with fifty steps to enter the door of the library.
Between the rows of bookshelves at the back of the first floor, Duan Yiqiao saw his grandfather's figure, a tall and thin figure, a dark gray tunic, a long black tweed coat, and a pair of casual leather shoes under his feet.
"Grandpa~" In the quiet library, his soft shout still produced a lost echo.
Duan Qingrui followed the sound and turned his head, and saw his tall grandson standing ten meters away, shouting, "Did you just go home, Qiao?"
"Yes, Grandpa!" Duan Yiqiao walked quickly to his grandfather's side and hugged him as well.
He looked at his grandfather's already gray hair, which seemed to have added a lot of gray hair in the past few months, but the two white eyebrows were always the same, and the tail of the eyebrows was very long. The already thin face has countless wrinkles and ravines.
Duan Qingrui always has a kind gaze, and he has an elegant temperament, and the whole person feels very approachable.
"Wait for Grandpa for ten minutes, and I'll put these books on the shelves, and we'll go back."
The three carts beside him were full of books, and Duan Yiqiao started to help him get them.
Duan Qingrui retired after graduating from Duan Yiqiao's junior high school, and began to enjoy the life of Qingfu, whether it was himself or everyone around him. But less than two years after enjoying this Qingfu, Duan Guangping had an accident.
Due to various debts after his family went bankrupt, he had to find a job to make money, and with the help of a friend, he entered the district library as a caretaker. To be able to be this administrator, he is also fortunate to follow the progress of society, and when he is old, he is more proficient in using computers than young people. net
Therefore, Duan Yiqiao has come to this library many times, often helping him classify books, and he still has a little impression of the classification of each shelf.
The grandfather and grandson cooperated, and soon put the books of the three carts into the shelves. After leaving the library, they made their way to the parking lot.
Duan Qingrui opened the back box and took out the two helmets. In fact, he rarely carries people, just a helmet, and a trunk is prepared, just in case. Like today, I used it.
"It's snowing, the bridge should be slow!"
"I know, Grandpa!"
Duan Yiqiao came to drive, and Duan Qingrui sat in the back seat for him to carry.
Before the Duan family went bankrupt, Duan Yiqiao never thought that he would ride an electric car to carry his family.
Duan Qingrui is thrifty, and the government where he used to work is not far from home, and he rides electric cars, so he is used to it. But Duan Yiqiao is different, they go out to travel in small cars, and they almost don't touch electric cars.
Duan Qingrui enjoys sitting in the back seat of an electric car and letting his grandson carry it, compared to a small car, this kind of motorcycle allows them to get close to each other. For the older generation, this feeling is warmer.
When they got home, Shen Ruyun and the others had already prepared all the food. A table of large and small plates of food, meat and vegetables, frying, stir-frying, stewing, soup and other cooking methods, nearly 20 dishes.
The ancestral tablet of the Duan family was placed on the third floor of the old bungalow, and the family put the food in a basket and carried it to the third floor for worship. Duan Qingrui led the worship process, and the family knelt down one by one to pray for blessings, which lasted for more than 20 minutes, and finally burned paper money and set off firecrackers to end the worship.
They then took the food back to the restaurant downstairs and began to enjoy the Chinese New Year lunch.
The family is gathered together, the father is kind and filial, and the children and grandchildren are well-behaved and sensible, which is the best comfort for the Duan family today.
After lunch and helping Shen Ruyun clean up the kitchen and dining room, the family sat in the living room to rest.
Soon after, Fu Yuke brought her two nephews to Duan's house. Her house is just one street away from Duan's house, and as long as she is fine, she has to come every day.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everything that should be busy is over, besides, her sister's family is celebrating the New Year at her house this year, and with her sister here, she doesn't need to help. No, when she was full and had nothing to do, she took her sister's two children for a walk to Duan's house to sit down.
"Grandpa Duan, Grandma Duan, Uncle Duan, Aunt Yun, hello!" Fu Yuke greeted everyone.
The two children have also come a few times in the past few days, and they are familiar with each other, and they quickly greeted everyone warmly.
"It's all good!" Duan Qingrui responded with a kind smile.
"Grandpa Duan went to the library in the morning, and my grandfather said he saw you, but he was too far away to say hello."
Duan Yiqiao took the green dates on the table and squatted in front of the two children, "Come, give it to you to eat!"
"Thank you, brother!"
After the two children took the green dates, they were greeted and left by Shen Ruyun. She likes children, these days, Fu Yuke often brings them to Duan's house, and Shen Ruyun has to take some candy and cookies for them to take back every time.
Duan Qingrui replied to her, "Yes, the museum will be closed until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year today, and I will just go to finish the last bit of work in the morning."
"Grandpa Duan is responsible, and he will go back when the museum is closed. My grandfather is still waiting for the Chinese New Year to ask you to play chess, saying that he hasn't played for a long time."
"Okay, I'll make an appointment with him when I have time."
Duan Yiqiao got up and asked Fu Yuke, "Is your sister going back to your house for the New Year this year?"
Fu Yuke sat down next to Duan Chuntong and took the small tomatoes she handed over, "Yes, I will stay until the seventh or eighth day of the new year and then go back."
"Your sister and brother-in-law have opened a restaurant, and they have hired someone to manage it, which is more free, so the store should also be open during the Chinese New Year, right?" It was Duan Qingrui who asked.
"Yes, Grandpa Duan. It's all open, and now there are three stores, and each store has a store manager, so my sister and brother-in-law don't have to worry so much."
Grandma Duan also said, "This big girl is amazing, and there are three restaurants."
The big girl is the name of their older generation to deal with Yuke's sister, she used to call Fu Yuke the second girl, but later she grew up and was unwilling, so she asked the older generation to change her name.
Fu Yuke hadn't sat for long when Duan Yiqiao's grandfather, his uncle, and his cousin's son came to his house.
Fu Yuke, who was about to leave, saw the two nephews playing with the child, Shen Ruyun saw this, "Keke, you just stay a little longer, it's my father and eldest brother, it's not that I don't know each other."
Uncle Duan Yiqiao spoke, "Yes, Keke, don't mind, let's sit and chat together."
Today, Duan Yiqiao's grandfather and his uncle
There was nothing to do, just to come and sit and meet and chat.
Until the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Duan Yiqiao accompanied Duan Guangping to receive relatives and friends in the living room. Maybe it's the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, or maybe Duan Yiqiao came back in the morning. After his grandfather and uncle left, his aunt's family also came.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was only a short period of silence, and around seven o'clock, Duan Yiqiao's second aunt and family came. With them, the Duan family's Chinese New Year's Eve was a lot more lively.
On the earth, thousands of lights are shrouded in warmth and peace, thousands of households are welcoming the arrival of the new year, laughter, fighting, fireworks and firecrackers fill the entire Chinese New Year's Eve night, the earth is a celebratory atmosphere.
At about eight o'clock, Duan Yiqiao walked out of the house and came to the hexagonal pavilion in the garden. took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat video to Ai Shangni.
At this time, in the living room of the Tong family's old house, Ai Shangni sat in the middle of a large group of family members, relatives and friends, talking and laughing and eating fruit snacks. As soon as he felt the phone vibrate, as if it would be Duan Yiqiao, he hurriedly stopped his hands and took out the phone, sure enough.
She quickly got up and stepped out of the couch. Her sister-in-law, Lin Muzi, shouted, "Yiyi, isn't that handsome guy from the Duan family?"
Ai Shangni glanced at her with a smile, but she didn't respond, but her expression had already told everyone that it was Duan Yiqiao.
As soon as she picked it up, she kept waving her hand towards Duan Yiqiao on the other side of the screen, "I saw everyone in the group and the circle of friends saying that it was snowing in Licheng, which was very small, but now it is a lot bigger."
Duan Yiqiao walked to the pavilion with her mobile phone and swept the snowflakes outside, so that she could clearly see the snowflakes on the other side.
"It only started to rain a little more after 6 o'clock, and this snow added a lot of atmosphere to the New Year. Isn't it snowing yet?"
Ai Shangni hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, it's not that we haven't snowed yet, but it's not snowing. We have a warmer winter and no snow."
"Also, islands, warm in winter and cool in summer. By the way, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year! Are you at home? It's a gazebo, isn't it?"
