The next day, he and Tang Ziyi's mother and daughter took their parents to visit the scenic spots in Shashi for a day, and they didn't go home until late, and they didn't have time to send a message to Li Qingshui.

The next morning, I said goodbye to Tang's mother and Ziyi, and drove back to my hometown with my parents.

At home, Ma Guocai used text messages to tell Li Qingshui the two reasons for marrying Tang Ziyi, hoping that she could understand. It's a pity that after the information passed, it was like a stone in the sea, and there was no reply. He tried to call her, but in the end he didn't. Maybe she's still angry, and hopefully she'll get better in a while.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and my grandfather's body seems to be weaker again, and he doesn't have much strength to speak. The family gradually accepted this reality, and could only do their best to take care of his old man, only hoping that he could last a little longer, a little longer.

After all, uncles and aunts still have to support their children to study, and grandpa estimates that he can live for a while, so the two uncles and aunts went to work outside again. Only parents and grandmothers are left in the family, staying by Grandpa's side.

Time is lost, and soon the Chinese New Year is approaching, so Ma Guocai has been staying at home like this, practicing qi on weekdays, helping the family do farm work, and living a leisurely life.

Tang Ziyi will take the time to come over once a month, and every time she comes, she will bring something with her, which is not valuable, but it is rare to have this intention. Stay here for one night and leave the next day.

Many times, Ma Guocai couldn't help but want to touch her in his heart, but in the end he couldn't help it. First, he sometimes can't guess what she thinks in her heart, and second, Li Qingshui's problem has not been solved.

Since I started to send her messages, I called her again in a few days, but I always didn't answer, maybe now this number is blacklisted.

Every month, Tang Ziyi would put 6,000 yuan on her father's card, and at first her father didn't know that there was money in this card, because that card was still done by her father when Ma Guocai was studying. Later, when Tang Ziyi came over, he mentioned it, and his father found out. insisted on refusing to accept it, but in the end, under the persuasion of Ma Guocai and Tang Ziyi, he still accepted it. He knew that the money belonged to his son at all.

As for Wang Qian, she hasn't seen her since the wedding in Shashi, and I don't know what her relationship with Tang Ziyi is now. Ma Guocai didn't want to ask! Do you want him to ask Tang Ziyi, saying, is the relationship between you and her broken, isn't it pure uncomfort.

Grandpa is now very thin and his muscles have relaxed. I remember that when he was busy farming, he could still carry a load of millet to the rice factory a few hundred meters away to roll rice. The muscles on the calf are as thick as the mouth of the bowl, but now it looks like a layer of skin and a layer of bones on it, thin and thin. The family had no choice but to watch like this.

Ma Guocai had already proposed to go to Chinese medicine to have a look, but the family, including his grandfather, had given up on treatment. I don't believe that liver cancer is advanced and can still be treated, and I don't want to work hard. Grandpa was worried, afraid that he would die in the hospital and only the ashes would come back. The old man still pays attention to being buried in the ground, and he doesn't want to die without even a whole corpse.

Looking at the snow outside, Ma Guocai's heart became more and more weak. One day, the people around you will grow old and die eventually. Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the inevitable law of life. The more I want to seek the Tao in my heart, the pursuit of the ethereal immortality. Maybe only in this way can we help the people around us, not to mention making them immortal or something, at least, they should also have the ability to let them live longer.

The day before the Chinese New Year, Tang's mother and Tang Ziyi both came over.

At night, the weather was very cold, it was snowing outside, and the two were hiding in the same bed, Tang Ziyi called softly: "Pony!"

"Hmm!" may be the reason why most of the meridians in the body have been opened up now, although the weather is very cold in winter, but I don't feel particularly cold, lying in the quilt, it is very warm.

Tang Ziyi whispered: "My mother asked us when we planned to have a baby. ”

This question, this question... This can't be a hint at him, right? Ma Guocai's heart moved, looking at Tang Ziyi, who was tightly wrapped in the quilt next to him, and his eyes were looking at him with dripping eyes. Swallowing his saliva, he asked, "Then what did you say?"

"What else can I say!, just say I don't want it now!" Tang Ziyi said angrily.

"Hmm......." Ma Guocai was silent, not daring to think about it, and not wanting to think about it anymore. "Sleep, tomorrow is the New Year, and it has to be early!"

After a while, Tang Ziyi turned to the side and fell asleep. Ma Guocai can only sigh in his heart! Why not be impulsive?

Early the next morning, Ma Guocai was awakened by the sound of firecrackers outside, and when he woke up, he and Tang Ziyi were actually hugging each other. Tang Ziyi was also awakened at this time, and lowered her head and was embarrassed to look at him. The two hugged each other quietly, no one moved, no one spoke, very quiet, very comfortable, and there was a faint happiness.

It wasn't until they were called down to go down to eat that the two separated.

The customs here are different from those in the north, not dumplings or anything, they are all big fish and meat, chickens, ducks, dogs and rabbits. However, on the day of the New Year, no one usually moves the chopsticks, which means that there are fish (Yu) every year.

In the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, before dawn, the family will get up early and start cooking New Year's dinner.

After the two got up, Tang Ziyi kept a smile on her face, neither of them explained anything, nor was she embarrassed to hug each other, as if it was normal. I silently remember this feeling in my heart, and at this time there is really a feeling that silence is better than sound, and everything is unspoken.

Grandpa also got up today, sat on a rattan chair with a thick quilt on it, put a brazier in front of him, and was sitting at the dining table, without energy, watching the family busy.

Ma Guocai took Tang Ziyi's hand, came to his grandfather's side, and said, "Grandpa, do you feel better, is it cold?"

Tang Ziyi also shouted grandpa.

Grandpa didn't seem to have much strength, he moved his hand, Ma Guocai immediately grabbed his hand, grandpa nodded slightly, a smile appeared on his thin face, and said weakly: "It's okay, it's not cold." ”

The two of them had nothing to do, so they pulled up a stool and accompanied their grandfather to roast the fire. Grandpa didn't have the strength to say anything, so Ma Guocai occasionally touched his grandfather's hand to see if he was cold.

The big round table was full of dishes, and my father set up dishes and chopsticks on the table, and every night he served some food, and poured some wine into each cup.

Tang Ziyi didn't know why, and asked him what he was doing?

Ma Guocai smiled, it seems that the children who grew up in the city really don't know much about this, maybe it's because they don't pay attention to these anymore, and many people go to restaurants to eat during the New Year. I had to tell her that this is to honor the ancestors, and I hope they will bless this year smoothly, which was done by grandpa every year in the past. In fact, this is also a folk custom, Equestria can only see ghosts now, and when my father worshiped his ancestors, I didn't see anyone appear.

After paying tribute to the ancestors, the dinner was opened, and a family of more than a dozen people gathered around a table, which was still a little crowded, but the New Year, it had to be like this, lively, and the family had a reunion dinner together.

After all, Tang's mother came to his house for the New Year for the first time, and her parents were very enthusiastic about her and often served her vegetables. Feeling the enthusiasm of her family, Tang's mother was also smiling.

Everyone was eating with their mouths full of oil, and the two little sisters were directly grabbing the pig's trotters with their hands and gnawing on them. Eating, chatting from all over the world, talking about the things around them.

It's just that grandpa eats very slowly, looking at the table full of dishes, he wants to eat, but he can't eat much. In his memory, his grandfather had two major characteristics, delicious and a mouthful. Not to mention hard work, the basic quality of the older generation in rural areas. But now I don't have the appetite to eat anymore.

After the meal, my grandmother took out a few pieces of 100 money and distributed them to her two younger sisters, as well as him and Tang Ziyi, and said, "This is the New Year's money that grandpa and I gave you this year." ”

Tang Ziyi looked at Ma Guocai and asked what he meant, Ma Guocai knew that she didn't understand what she was saying, and said with a smile: "Take it, this is the New Year's money for you." ”

"That's embarrassing. Tang Ziyi said.

"Hehe, when the time comes, it's just double for grandparents. ”

.......

This is the most special New Year's dinner this year, happy and sad! The population has been added, but there is almost one less person!

After dinner, my father and two uncles, as well as him and his two younger sisters, went to the back mountain to deliver lanterns, that is, to set off firecrackers in front of the ancestors' graves, light incense wax, burn paper money, and then kowtow to the ancestors a few times, and they would go every year. Because there are two ancestors who are not buried together, he acts as the representative of the family and his grandfather every year, and has to have another uncle go to the neighboring village.

After they finished worshipping, another uncle also brought his grandchildren to worship, and when they finished worshipping, Ma Guo also brought the incense candle paper money and followed him to the neighboring village.

The snow is heavy, the road is very difficult to walk, this year grandpa will definitely not be able to go, and he is the only one in the family who follows his uncle. Ma Guocai helped carry the things and carefully followed behind, just in case his old man accidentally slipped.

When he went home, it was almost noon, and the whole family was playing mahjong, exactly two tables. Tang Mu and Tang Ziyi also went to the battlefield, Tang Ziyi knew his ability, and when he came back, he called him to the side. Of course, it's not for cheating, the family just has fun playing cards, and it's not interesting to play tricks, but the two take turns to play.

Ma Guocai asked, "How much did you win?"

Tang Ziyi said depressedly: "What do you win, you have lost more than two hundred." ”

Ma Guocai pulled a chair and sat next to her, and said with a smile: "This table, you are the richest, and you should contribute to your uncle and aunt." ”

Tang Ziyi glanced at her, and said angrily: "Isn't mine yours!"

When my uncle and aunt heard this, they all laughed.

"Okay, come on! I'll get the game down. "This eldest sister is becoming less and less an outsider. Thinking of this, Ma Guocai's heart was entangled again, Li Qingshui, Li Qingshui, you give an attitude!

Replaced Tang Ziyi, he began to join the game, but it didn't seem to be very lucky, he played a few games, and lost one or twenty. After giving up the position to Tang Ziyi, Tang Ziyi began to kill all sides, either by self-draw or by connecting the bar, and won back more than 100 yuan in a few handfuls.

Now Tang Ziyi was happy, and she was full of enthusiasm when she played mahjong.

Ma Guocai went to see Tang's mother's side and found that Tang's mother seemed to have good luck, and a stack of scattered banknotes was thrown on the bench next to her. I can only sigh in my heart, hey, my parents, uncles and aunts, you have to work hard, you have to hurry up when you eat big households.
