Zhuang Shuo: [Haven't you slept yet?] ]

Lang Yangyang sent a nodding 3D pig.

Zhuang Shuo: [Are you also preparing something to be used in tomorrow's grave?] ]

Lang Yangyang: [No, what about you?] What are you preparing? ]

Zhuang Shuo sent two pictures, which were two kinds of pastries used to worship ancestors in the local graves in Changxi City, as well as a bunch of white paper.

Look at the background is at home.

He said: [I was going to sleep, but my mother found that the paper I bought back was not holed, and my parents were preparing to eat, and I made holes by hand overnight.] ]

Then I took a picture of all kinds of things piled up in the room.

Lang Yangyang: [Do you have to prepare so many things?] ]

Zhuang Shuo: [Well, every year, the day before the Qingming Festival, I have to prepare until midnight, and then set off early in the morning to return to my hometown.] ]

Lang Yangyang held the phone and pondered for a moment, until the cigarette ash between his right fingers fell on the back of his hand and burned it.

He replied that Zhuang Shuo was going to rest, and the two said goodnight to each other.

Lang Yangyang lay on his side and made a decision.

In the spacious living room on the other side, Zhuang Shuo finally put down his mobile phone and continued to make holes in the pro-paper with nails.

His gossipy mother was in the kitchen, pushing her husband with her elbow: "Hey, do you see, I've been chatting with my mobile phone for the past two days, and the black face like Guan Gong is so worthless that I smile." ”

The same husband with a big black face looked out and saw that the smile in his son's eyes had not disappeared.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"There's a play!"

——

At four o'clock in the morning, warm lights come through the rear window of Brookside.

Lang Yangyang kneaded the dough in the baking room.

Came early today.

Last night's rain was only cloudy and rainy, and it stopped after a while, it was a little cold outside, and the temperature in the baking room was suitable.

Lang Yangyang's slender and powerful hands repeatedly knead the dough, whip the egg butter, and use a knife to scratch the leaf texture on the bread.

Every time the pattern is very healing, Lang Yangyang does not fix the pattern, several classic drawings are often changed, just scratched to look very buried, but baked out of it becomes very beautiful.

It was six o'clock and I hurried to make the bread and dessert I needed for the day.

The amount is a little less, but it's no problem to cope with it for half a day.

Lang Yangyang took off his apron and hat, cleaned up briefly, locked the door and left, swept a shared bicycle on the side of the road, and rode towards the second aunt's house.

Lang Yangyang's family is in a small town in a county town below Changxi City, and his grandfather grew up in the town, and only went to the city to develop after he got married, and his grandparents were buried in his hometown after his death.

Therefore, every year during the Qingming Festival, I have to go to the countryside to worship my ancestors, and the old graves are on the mountain.

The second aunt was startled when she opened the door, "Yangyang? What are you doing here? ”

Lang Yangyang didn't sleep long all night, his face was a little tired, but he did smile: "I will go to my hometown with you to worship my ancestors." ”

"Oops! It's true? That's great! "The happiness of the second aunt is real.

She pulled Lang Yang into the house and showed him what she had prepared: "You see, the Qingming baba I made yesterday, the chickens I killed in the vegetable market, I used to bring live chickens to kill, but this year I feel a little unable to bring it, so just kill it and cook it and bring it over." ”

Looking at the things on this large table, Lang Yangyang exhaled deeply.

Luckily, I came.

Zhuang Shuo sent a picture last night, and he knew that there were so many things to prepare for the Qingming Festival, and the children of his grandparents were now only the second aunt alone.

Although the cousin and uncle will also help to worship, the second aunt will definitely go too.

Lang Yangyang and the second aunt moved everything downstairs to the car.

It took two people to move back and forth twice to finish, and if Lang Yangyang didn't come, the second aunt would have to move four or five times and climb the stairs back and forth four times.

The second aunt drove her little Alto, and the trunk and back seat were full of things.

Lang Yangyang sat in the co-pilot and drove to the countryside in the cool spring breeze.

After driving for a little more than two hours, at half past eight, I arrived at my hometown of Chuyu Town, and my cousin Langyue and her daughter also arrived.

My uncle's family, who still lived in the town, had prepared bamboo, and each family divided a bundle of bamboo, and went to their parents' first, and then to their grandfather's together.

Lang Yue's daughter Lang Qingyu saw Lang Yangyang and ran over to talk to him: "Uncle, didn't you say you wouldn't come?" ”

Lang Yangyang was shocked, this child is usually a lonely widow at home, and he doesn't like to talk to the elders, if the elders talk too much, her mouth is not white, and she will spray back directly.

In general, just like her mother, they are all short-tempered, and even blue is better than blue.

Lang Yangyang smiled: "I'll come over after the store is arranged, and I'll go back in the afternoon." ”

He wondered why Lang Qingyu was so enthusiastic and stared into her eyes when he spoke. Lang Qingyu was really cramped by him, and his hands were behind his back.

didn't have time to say a few more words, the second aunt called Lang Yangyang over, and he said to Lang Qingyu: "I'll talk about it later." ”

Lang Qingyu sighed, she didn't tell her uncle that she had something, why did he look like he knew.

There are a lot of things to bring up the mountain, Lang Yangyang and the second aunt have to go to worship their grandparents first, and then meet at the grave of the grandparents.

"I'll do this." Lang Yangyang took the initiative to take over the heavy things.

The second aunt was not at ease: "How can you take it so heavy?" Give me this basket. ”

Lang Yangyang directly picked it up and walked forward.

The basket is a bit heavy, but it's okay for Lang Yangyang, who has the physical strength of a normal adult man.

The second aunt saw that he could really take such a thing, and muttered: "This kid is really okay." ”

He was too young when he left home, too young to know what he had become.

I thought he was still the same kid who was beaten by his father and cried holding his father's legs.

Nowadays, there are many people who go out to work in the countryside, many fields are not planted, and there is a lot of barren land on the mountains, and no one has gone up to the mountains to cut firewood or anything.

The two stopped and identified the way.

The second aunt muttered from time to time: "This road is stepped on once a year, and after this year and year, I am afraid that I will not be able to find the road in the future." If you can come with me this year, it's better to recognize the way, otherwise when I am gone, no one will be able to find our grave. ”

The second aunt who said this is actually a broken thought, not deliberately sad. But what Lang Yangyang heard in his heart was indeed not a taste.

After coming back, I also heard some gossip, saying that he had been away from home for so many years, and he was not young, and he had never helped the family.

In and out of the words, he is saying that he is selfish and useless.

After studying in such a good university, I didn't go to a big company to make money, and I came back to open a dessert shop, which really disappointed my grandparents' upbringing.

Lang Yangyang didn't release his emotions, but just smiled and said, "How come." ”

After climbing half the mountain, the original thorny mountain road was cleaned, and it looked like someone had cleaned it up today.

A little further on, I saw a family sweeping the grave, which had been cleaned up and offerings were being placed.

The people over there also heard someone passing by, and a middle-aged woman who took the lead looked over the path.

"Oops! Sister Lang!! ”

Lang Yangyang and the second aunt heard the voice, and looked over there together, Lang Yangyang didn't know anyone when he saw it, and looked at his aunt.

The second aunt immediately looked happy, and waved hello with one hand.

The other party put down the work in her hand and walked over, she was greeting her second aunt in her mouth, but her eyes were always on Lang Yangyang.

Lang Yangyang was puzzled.

Aunt introduced: "This is Zhuang Shuo's mother, Yangyang came to say hello, called Aunt Xie." ”

Chapter 12

"Hello Aunt Xie." Lang Yangyang said.

He had a polite smile on his face, and the distancing and panic in his eyes were well hidden.

Aunt Xie has very white skin, her height looks close to one meter seven, she is slightly fat, and she smiles very kindly, and the second aunt calls her sister, but judging from her appearance, the second aunt looks older than her.

It may be that the circumstances of the two people's lives are very different, and their mentality will also affect their appearance, which everyone can understand when they are older.

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet here." Aunt Xie's eyes were full of admiration for Lang Yangyang.

Lang Yangyang nodded and smiled: "Yes, Auntie, is your family also here?" ”

Aunt Xie: "My mother's family is here, and I come back to sweep the grave during the New Year's holidays, so it's close anyway." ”

"Yes, it's good to marry not far away." The second aunt chimed in.

As he spoke, he glanced at Lang Yangyang and nodded at him.

Then Aunt Xie turned the topic to Lang Yangyang: "What does Yangyang do?" ”

Lang Yangyang: "I opened a dessert shop, just in Banpo Street." ”

Aunt Xie: "The location there is very good, and there are many tourists, which is really amazing." ”

"It's fine." Lang Yang smiled shyly.

Aunt Xie asked again, "Then did you do this before?" ”

Lang Yangyang replied honestly: "No, I used to work in the company." ”

After speaking, seeing that Aunt Xie was still waiting for the next step, he continued: "Do design, UX designer." ”

After speaking, the two elders both had question marks on their heads.

Lang Yangyang: "That's it...... UX-centric ...... In fact, he is a designer, designing web pages. ”

"Whew......" The elders said in unison, and Aunt Xie said to the second aunt: "I know, it's that we go to Taobao to buy things, what is left swiping, what is right swiping is that kind of page is designed by him." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Lang Yangyang: "It's amazing!" I can also do design, and I can also make desserts and open a store, so all-round. ”
