19 Chapter 19
There were still two tablets between the two of them, Tian Yao was a little difficult to hold by him, he kept a twisted posture, and finally simply sat on the ground and wrapped his hands around his waist.
It took a while for Yu Nian to let go of him.
Tian Yao could see his somewhat reddened eyes, and held his face with both hands: "When spring begins, we can set up another mound for my father and mother." ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyes again: "Or we can go to your hometown......"
"Thank you, Tian Yao."
Tian Yao hurriedly shook his head: "Thank you, we are a family, and your father and mother are also my parents." ”
Yu Nian pulled him up from the ground, and then said slowly: "My family is in Yuancang Mansion, and he is a wealthy merchant in Yuancang Mansion, and his family's business is very big, silk, tea, and many things from the Western Regions are all brought back by my father's caravan from the Western Regions, Southern Xinjiang, and many far away. ”
"It's just that when the business grows, there will definitely be people who are jealous, but my father has always been very careful and careful in doing things, so there has never been a mistake. But at the beginning of this year, a batch of silk brought back from the Western Regions in the caravan was suddenly sampled by the yamen. Daddy had a clear conscience, but the people of the Yamen found the ice silk that had been paid tribute in the midst of the silk brought back by Daddy's caravan. ”
"At that time, in Yuancang, there was a Qin Cha in charge, and my father was charged with stealing the country, and Qin Cha directly sent my father to prison, and then he raided his house, and his mother was also arrested, but he let me go alone, I had no way to appeal everywhere, and I watched my father and mother being beheaded."
"I wanted to go to Wangjing, but I met my family's enemy halfway, maybe it can't be called an enemy, he hates me very much, so I came here."
In just a few words, Tian Yao could already imagine his bitterness at that time, originally living a happy life, but suddenly the world was turned upside down.
"Yu Nian, let's go to Yuancang Mansion next year and bring back my father's bones, right?"
Yu Nian just touched his hair gently, didn't say good or bad, just changed the topic: "Help me grind the ink?" ”
Tian Yao knew that he wanted to complete the tablet, and when he died, he went to the room to get the pen and ink, and the pen he took was the wolf pen, and he usually used the pen of Zhu Hao to write in Yu Nian, he thought that this was to write a tablet for his father and mother, and it was natural to use it well.
In the past few days, under Yu Nian's teaching, he has learned how to sharpen ink, and this time he has sharpened it with great piety.
Yu Nian dipped the tip of his pen in ink, but he didn't dare to do it, and Tian Yao just looked at him and didn't urge.
After a long time, Yu Nian wrote the first word, loving father Yu Zhenghong, loving mother Han Ying.
On the brown pine wood, the color of the thick ink was a little unrecognizable, Tian Yao said to him: "Wait for the first day of junior high school, let's go to the temple and find a master to paint gold, right?" ”
"Okay."
Tian Yao put the written tablet on Yu Nian's lap, and then pushed him to the place where he put his father and little father's tablet, he swept the case, and then put the two tablets written by Yu Nian on it.
He lit two sticks of incense, held one for himself, and gave the other to Yu Nian.
Yu Nian sat in a wheelchair, bowed three times to the tablet, and then asked Tian Yao to insert the incense into the incense burner.
When Tian Yao was about to leave the room, Yu Nian asked him to put himself down from the wheelchair, Tian Yao put a futon on the ground, and Yu Nian could barely kneel.
Tian Yao went out of the room, leaving time for Yu Nian alone, he and his father and mother must have a lot to say.
Tian Yao returned to the room and went back to look at the things that his father left him, and Yu Nian rearranged the booklets and put them on one side of the box, and on the other side was the words written by Yu Nian collected by Tian Yao.
The seed purse was also placed in it, Tian Yao flipped through it again, and in the corner, he found another small purse, he thought it was also a seed at the time, so he didn't open it, and on a whim today, he opened this purse, but it was not a seed, but a red, little finger-long thing, Tian Yao thought about it for a long time, and couldn't remember what it was.
Yu Nian stayed in the house for a long time, Tian Yao was afraid that he would kneel for a long time and his legs would be uncomfortable, so he went in again and picked people out, Yu Nian seemed to be still in the mood just now, and sat in a wheelchair and was silent for a long time, until Tian Yao talked to him.
"Yu Nian, do you know what this is?"
Yu Nian took it from his hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and really didn't know what it was, he broke this thing from the middle, and inside was a small yellow seed.
He just wanted to taste it, but Tian Yao grabbed his hand: "I don't know what it is, how can I eat it casually?" ”
"This is your little daddy's thing, are you still afraid of poison?" Yu Nian's mood returned to normal at this time, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Tian Yao snorted, and then tasted this thing himself, but the moment he just swallowed it, his whole face was so red that he didn't want to speak, he kept swallowing his saliva, and then under Yu Nian's worried gaze, he ran to the water tank and drank several sips of water before he eased up.
"Yu Nian! I know what this is! He drank the raw water but didn't feel cold, and his face was now full of excitement, "I know what this is." ”
Yu Nian looked at the small, red thing, glanced at Tian Yao's flushed face again, and asked, "What is it?" ”
"My dad said this is called chili." Tian Yao fell into his own memories, "When I used to eat pots, my little dad would put this!" ”
Yu Nian tilted his head: "Why didn't you remember it just now?" ”
"When I was young, they didn't let me eat this, and when I grew up and could eat it, my dad said that there were no more chili peppers, and I don't know when he hid this bag, maybe he forgot about it."
Tian Yao propped his head and thought for a while: "There will definitely be a method in the little father's booklet, let's try it on Chinese New Year's Eve today, right?" ”
Yu Nian asked him: "Take these...... If you use up the chili pepper, will it be gone in the future? ”
Tian Yao looked at the few small yellow grains he was still holding in his hand, and he didn't know if this was a chili seed: "Otherwise, let's try to plant one and see if we can grow it?" ”
Yu Nian didn't dampen his enthusiasm and nodded.
Tian Yao put down the chili pepper and went to find the booklet that his father had drawn for him before he died, and Yu Nian was also with him, but he really couldn't understand the way of communication between their father and son.
After reading it for a long time, I still didn't understand, so I could only go to the side to write and let Tian Yao figure it out by himself.
Tian Yao said while looking at it: "Yu Nian, I haven't heard or seen a lot of things painted on this little daddy, how do you say he knows so many things?" ”
Yu Nian remembered what Tian Yao said, his father fled to Huailing Village many years ago, settled here, became a hunter, and his little father also fled and married his father.
"I don't know where he came from, and neither does Daddy." Tian Yao thinks about it now, and only then does he feel that his little father is really a very mysterious person, he obviously looks so knowledgeable, but he is illiterate, he is obviously very gentle, and he speaks softly to anyone, but on the day his father died, Tian Yao saw the ruthlessness in his eyes.
"Now that I think about it, my little father is a very mysterious person, he seems to have a set of his own words and words, which are incompatible with us."
Yu Nian took the codex from his hand: "Actually, it's not, you see some words, what he wrote is the same as what we know." ”
"Is it possible, daddy he ......"
"How?"
"He's a god? And then go back after the tribulation? ”
Tian Yao also laughed after speaking: "This is also very good, the little dad will definitely be able to live well when he returns to the place where he should live." ”
Yu Nian looked at the smile on his face and felt that his heart was a little blocked: "If it's true, don't you blame him?" ”
"He's my little daddy, how can I blame him, he's been trying to find a way to make me live well before he leaves, how can he not love me." Tian Yao patted his hand, "Besides, there are no gods in the world, if there is, everyone should go and ask God, just see who is pious." ”
After exposing this topic, Tian Yao finally found a page about chili peppers in a pile of codex, Dad's hand is very skillful, and this chili pepper is very similar to the one in his hand.
Although he couldn't read the words written by his father, he could understand the paintings drawn by his father, on which he drew a lot of novel dishes.
happened to hear that there was a fish seller in the village, Tian Yao pushed Yu Nian to buy one back, and the people in Huailing Village didn't eat fish very much, because no matter what they did, there was always a fishy smell, but Tian Yao liked it very much.
Because he was sick when he was a child, his father made him fish ball soup once, which was the first time he ate such a fresh food, and then whenever he was sick, his father would send his father to catch fish, and then make fish ball soup for him to eat.
They said that it was good to eat the pot on the night of the New Year, but Tian Yao still prepared some dishes, because every year in the past, the people in the village would send him a dish, and he had to return the gift.
In the first year of the death of his father and little father, he really spent the New Year at his aunt's house, at that time, Tian Yusheng had not yet become a relative, and he could only have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home, so he and Aunt Shun were two companions.
The next year, Tian Yusheng got married, and their family invited Tian Yao to his house for the New Year, but Tian Yao did not go again.
Aunt Shun knew his thoughts, so she would bring him food every year during the Chinese New Year.
On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Tian Yao was busy, and even followed Yu Nian with him and gave him a hand.
That fish Tian Yao had already killed in advance, and at this time cut off the head of the fish, cut the fish in half from the middle, and remove the fish bones, his knife skills were very good, almost the knife fell with his hands, and the fish bones were separated from the fish meat.
Yu Nian looked at his skillful techniques, thinking that even if he didn't have his legs destroyed, he probably couldn't be as skilled as him.
"Did your father teach you how to use a knife?"
"No, my little daddy taught me." Tian Yao shook his head, and he only reacted after he finished speaking, "No, little daddy is so gentle, how can he use a knife?" ”
Yu Nian looked at Tian Yao's reaction, and felt more and more strange.
"Forget it, let's have a good New Year."
