"I miss her every day," Ke'er sniffed and sobbed, "And dad, he must be thinking about my mother every day."
Ji Xiang turned around and looked at the man shoveling the soil silently. The snow was a bit heavy and she couldn't see Song Tong's expression clearly, but she could feel that Song Tong must be very sad.
"Ke'er, go over and stay with your dad." Ji Xiang put Ke'er on the ground.
"good."
Ke'er held a handkerchief and walked towards Song Tong. I don't know what Ke'er said to Song Tong. Song Tong's shoulders suddenly twitched, and then he bent down. Ji Xiang couldn't hear Ke'er and Song Tong from far away. Song Tong said something, but she only saw Ke'er standing on tiptoes to wipe Song Tong's tears.
Ji Xiang really couldn't bear to see such a scene, so he lowered his head in a hurry, and his tears fell on the snow-white mourning clothes one by one.
...
Song Mansion.
When returning to the Song Mansion, Ke'er followed Song Tong to the backyard. Jixiang returned to Song Fu. She had been waiting on Song Fu and was particularly worried when she left suddenly for such a day.
Song Fu sat on the soft couch and watched her come in. He looked at the tears on her face and the plain clothes on her body. He couldn't help but sigh softly and waved to Jixiang: "Girl, come here."
"Yes, Dad," Ji Xiang said, while cleaning his hands, he refilled the hot tea for Song Fu, then sat down and said to Song Fu, "Dad, you are not well yet, so you can't sit for too long. Wait until you have dinner." After that, just go back to bed and rest.”
Song Fu nodded, stroking the tea cup, and said to Jixiang: "Girl, you have been in Beidi for so many days. Something like this happened at home, and I am sick again. You can't leave. Now Your sister-in-law has been buried, and my illness is almost healed. You can go and see your mother in two days."
Jixiang's mother used to be a servant in the Song Dynasty. She got seriously ill not long ago, and she revealed her identity to Song Tong, so Song Tong bought her a house in the suburbs of Beijing to let her rest well. Therefore, although Jixiang has arrived He stayed in the Song Mansion for many days, but he never got to see his mother.
"How about we wait a little longer? It's been snowing these days, so the road out of the city may be difficult." Ji Xiang looked at Song Fu's thin hands and said hesitantly.
"Where is it difficult to leave? Ask Song Tong to send someone to take you there." Song Fu knew that she was worried about him. He reached out and patted Ji Xiang's hand and said, "Girl, you must fulfill your filial piety as soon as possible. Don't let your mother Don’t let yourself regret it if you wait all day long.”
"I know," Ji Xiang's nose suddenly became sore, and he lowered his head in a hurry, while saying, "I will go away for a few days and then come back. If my mother's illness improves, I will bring her back together."
Song Fu said with a smile: "Okay, I also want to thank your mother in person. It's hard for you to take care of me, an old man, for so long."
"Dad, I take care of you as I should." Jixiang choked with sobs.
Song Fu said nothing and clapped Ji Xiang's hand again.
...
December 30th of the first year of Tianding
Lunar New Year's eve.
Beidi Capital
Song Mansion.
Jixiang stayed at his mother's house on the outskirts of the city for seven days, and hurried back to Song Mansion at noon on New Year's Eve.
"Why are you back at this time?" Song Fu looked at Ji Xiang, he was surprised and happy, "Why don't you stay with your mother to celebrate the New Year?"
Yesterday, Song Tong sent someone to deliver a large cart of New Year's goods to the outskirts of the city. There were more than ten kinds of pastries, all in the style of Dali. Song Fu also specially sent people to send red envelopes for the New Year, which was auspicious and peaceful. After being separated for more than 20 years, my mother finally reunited. Naturally, they all thought that Jixiang would stay and watch the New Year's Eve with her mother, and that he would come back after the second day of the Lunar New Year at the latest. However, they didn't want Jixiang to come back in a hurry to turn 30. came back.
