Chapter 172: Go to Yinping's grave to pay respects
Mother Hua was of course very happy to see Yu Jackie Chan coming, she enthusiastically put Yu Jackie Chan into the kang, and kept shouting and asking for warmth, as if she had seen a long-lost relative.
While asking, he arranged for Shan Ju and Shan Xing to cook for Yu Chenglong, and asked him if he came alone, if there were other people, he would quickly call them into the house together.
"I'm alone. Is Mother Flower okay? You seem to be a little thin. ”
Yu Chenglong responded to Mother Hua's question affectionately, it should be said that he is also very worried about Mother Hua, not only because it is dangerous for her to be in charge of liaison here, but also because of Yinping's relationship.
"It's all good, it's all good! You've lost weight too. Our Manchurian Liberation Army won a great victory, and we are all happy. This time you are famous, even children know when it comes to Jianglong.
The Japanese put up notices everywhere to arrest you, but they don't look like you at all, but you have to be on guard. Quickly sit down in the kang and take off your shoes, it's hot inside. ”
Mother Hua's enthusiasm is like the elders treating children, which makes Yu Jackie Chan's heart even hotter, and he also feels home, his heart can't help but feel a little sad, and his eyes seem to feel hot.
At this time, a man who looked slightly older than Yu Jackie Chan walked into the house and called Hua's mother the second aunt, but Yu Jackie Chan didn't know this person.
"Come, let me introduce you to you, this is Yu Jackie Chan that I often mention, my uncle. This is the child of my cousin's family, surnamed Yuan, called Shuangqiang.
My cousin died early, leaving such a lone seedling, and his father found him a stepmother, who couldn't have children, and the two of them lived with such a child.
But who knew that the Japanese devil came, arrested his father as a laborer, and beat him to death, and his stepmother also followed.
The rest of the boy had to avenge his father, so I introduced him to our team, but instead of going into the mountains, he stayed with me to help me in my work.
also reached the age of talking about marriage, I saw that he and Shan Xing were quite temperamental, so I asked Commander Xiao, and she agreed, so they got married.
It's good to lurk here in this way. Shuangqiang, he is now running errands for the police station, I want to find someone again, let him enter the garrison, and now he has some eyebrows. ”
Mother Hua hurriedly introduced Yu Chengchan, but before Yu Chenglong could speak, Yuan Shuangqiang actually wanted to kneel, which made Yu Chenglong feel very sudden.
"Commander Yu, your subordinates are polite!"
"Brother Shuangqiang doesn't have to be polite, we are like-minded brothers, it doesn't have to be like this. Come, you sit too! ”
Yu Chenglong affectionately pulled Yuan Shuangqiang to sit on the kang, but Hua's mother still kept chattering, smiling and telling Yuan Shuangqiang that he should know etiquette.
"In terms of seniority, you have to call Jackie Chan brother-in-law, and that's what you call it in the future."
The meal was served, it was very simple, because it was the middle of the night, and it was not convenient to cook such a sumptuous meal, as long as you could eat enough, Yu Jackie Chan warmly beckoned everyone to eat together.
"They've all eaten. Shuangqiang and Shan Xing, you two go back to the house and rest, there is still something to do tomorrow, just have me and Shan Ju with you.
I didn't make anything delicious, it was all ready-made, I'm afraid you're already hungry. Come, Mother Hua will accompany you to take a sip and relieve your fatigue. ”
Mother Hua sent Yuan Shuangqiang and the others away, and asked Shanju to give them some wine, and the two of them drank a little. After eating, Shan Ju cleaned up the table.
"Let's live in Mother Hua's house, you are on the kang, I will be next to you, let Shanju sleep on the kang for a while."
Mother Hua took the futon and laid it out for Jackie Chan, but Yu Jackie Chan felt that it was not convenient to live with Mother Hua and Shan Ju, so he proposed to live in the warehouse in front of him.
"I didn't burn the kang in the lower house, and I had to clean it up, and it was too cold. There is nothing inconvenient, after drilling the ravine for so many years, isn't it common for men and women to squeeze together.
Just listen to me, take off your clothes and go to bed, it looks like you haven't taken off your clothes and slept in days. Take off the clothes inside tomorrow morning and change them, let the Shanju and them wash and mend for you, and go to sleep now! ”
Mother Hua pulled Yu Chenglong to the kang head and told him to sleep quickly. Yu Chengchan stopped arguing, took off his coat and lay down, he was really sleepy.
Mother Hua also immediately stripped and lay down, and when Shanju finished cleaning up, blew out the lights, and also stripped down in the dark and lay down to sleep, and the night became quieter.
"Where is Yinping's grave? I want to see her. ”
Yu Chenglong couldn't sleep a little, he suddenly remembered Yinping, the poor woman who was once his daughter-in-law in name, which made Yu Chenglong difficult to let go for a long time, so he asked Hua's mother in a low voice.
"It's a shame that you're still thinking about her, this kid's life is miserable. Her grave is seven or eight miles away, and I will show you to-morrow. ”
Mother Hua also spoke with a crying voice, it seems that she often thinks of this goddaughter, the relationship between the two is deep, and of course she will have deep regret for Yinping's premature sacrifice!
"Mother Hua, don't be too sad, let's all sleep."
Yu Chenglong turned over and closed his moist eyes very sadly. He thought a lot, his heart was heavy, and he fell asleep in a daze when it was almost dawn.
The next morning, Yu Chengchan got up late, and he paid for Shanju to go to the street to help him buy some sacrifices. After eating, Yu Chenglong went to Yinping's grave with Mother Hua to pay respects.
Yinping's tomb was very small and there was no monument, but compared to the other brothers who died in battle, it was already very lucky.
Yu Chenglong half-knelt on the ground, put the offerings in front of Yinping's relatively low grave, lit the paper, and stood with Mother Hua, mourning silently.
It wasn't until a pile of dark paper was completely burned and the ashes were floating in the wind that the two turned around and left silently, with tears in their eyes.
The bleak early winter was shrouded in a desolate atmosphere. On the way back, Yu Jackie Chan and Hua's mother rarely spoke, and their mood was more sad than this bleak early winter.
After returning to Mother Hua's residence, the mood of the two of them relaxed a lot, and they could go to Yinping's grave to see, and the memorial service was also considered to comfort the painful heart.
In the heart of Hua's mother, Yu Chenglong and Yinping have been married and have a round house, they are a veritable husband and wife, and Yu Jackie Chan is half of hers.
Yu Chenglong was even more reluctant to break the layer of window paper at this time, and silently admitted this marriage that seemed to have but did not, but he still felt deeply guilty about Yinping.
This can be regarded as compensation for Yinping, Yu Chenglong feels sorry for Yinping, and sighs for her early death. At the same time, this is also a satisfactory explanation to the third aunt, Hua's mother and others.
"This kid has a hard life! He has been with me since I was ten years old. I followed you before I died, and I can be regarded as having a happy destination.
It's just that I don't know if Yinping is pregnant, so if she is pregnant, she will go over there to give birth, and she can have a perfect home in the future. ”
Mother Hua still sighed softly, but Yu Jackie Chan didn't answer, just responded to Mother Hua's words with silent sadness.
