The snowflakes falling in the early winter made Xingye Village, which was already silent in the middle of the night, even more lonely.
Wang Dahu and Li Qingran couldn't care less about patting off the snow accumulated on their bodies, they raised their hands and patted towards the big iron gate. After a while, someone came to open the door.
"Dahu, Qingran, you two are here." A young woman in a short down jacket opened the door. Wang Dahu nodded and called out, "Cousin is here too,...how is grandma..."
Qin Lan shook her head with red eyes when she heard the words, "The doctor said, I'm afraid I won't make it through tonight."
Wang Dahu only felt his eyes go dark, but it was Li Qingran who was behind him who helped him, so he didn't fall down.
While talking, several people hurriedly walked inside.
Almost all the closest relatives have arrived at this time, Dahu's parents, Qin Lan's family, Wang Yaozu, Long Yiming and so on.
Seeing the two people coming in with the curtain lifted, Zhang Fang touched the tears on his face: "Come and see grandma, you have been the one who has loved her the most since she was a child!" Wang Dahu nodded heavily.
The old lady on the wooden bed had already put on her make-up and old clothes. She was lying there with a very calm face. She even smiled when she saw the two of them coming in.
"Da, Dahu and Ranran are here..."
"Grandma—" Wang Dahu burst into tears, "Your grandson is here—"
"Okay, okay." The corners of the old lady's dissatisfied wrinkled mouth slightly lifted, and she said to the people in the room: "You, you go out first, I, I have a few words to say to the two children."
Wait until everyone exits.
The old lady raised her trembling hand and touched the head of Wang Dahu who was kneeling on the ground.
"Good boy, grandma asked you something, tell the truth, will it work?"
"Grandma, you ask!"
"You, the relationship between you and Ranran, has it become like that between Long Yiming and your uncle?"
Wang Dahu looked into the old lady's dim eyes and wanted to say something, but in the end he only nodded heavily.
The old lady clearly had a disappointed expression on her face, she let out a long sigh and murmured, "Is that really the case?"
"Grandma!" Li Qingran beside him suddenly knelt down, with deep sadness and guilt on his expression: "It's all because I didn't
Well, don't blame Dug. "
"Stupid child..." The old lady lifted the corners of her chapped mouth, and raised her hand tremblingly to touch Li Qingran's head: "You are smart and sensible since you were a child, and I treat you the same as Dumb in my heart .”
"I know, I know" Li Qingran shed tears.
What I recall in my mind is when I was a child, the old man took care of me in every possible way. This kind old woman did not dislike herself who was almost an orphan, but used her unique care to gradually integrate herself into this family until she became a member of the family. She is so simple, so kind.
The old lady said to Li Qingran with a warm light in her eyes: "Da, Dahu, I will leave it to you in the future... This child is stubborn and will treat you well in this life."
"Grandma—" Li Qingran couldn't help crying out in pain.
The old lady turned her head to the tiger again: "You, you two have a good time."
"Grandma, Ranran and I will definitely be happy!" Wang Dahu tightly grasped the old man's skinny palm, tears streaming down his face.
"Find, find an opportunity to talk to your parents, it's not good to hide it."
"Ok!"
"Okay~ grandma, grandma wants, wants to talk to your grandpa again."
"Okay, I'll call you right now."
The old man seemed to have expected it a long time ago. He waited at the door. Although there was sadness between his brows, his expression was also very calm. He probably knew in his heart that as long as he is a human being, there will always be such a day!
Dumb waited outside with his whole family. After a while, the old man came out, looking much older. He said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Fen is gone!"
"Mom—" Although I had been mentally prepared, when that moment really came, it was really unbearable, especially Wang Yaozu, who almost fainted from crying.
The old Wang's family can be regarded as a respectable family in the whole Xingye Village, and the old lady had a lifespan of seventy-eight when she left, which is considered a happy death. So the posthumous affairs were handled very decently. As the eldest grandson of the third generation, Wang Dahu, besides wearing hemp and filial piety, had to deal with all kinds of funerals, large and small, and human relations, which was really exhausting.
It wasn't until after the first seven days, when the old man had truly settled down, that Wang Dahu and the others finally had a little rest.
Today, at night.
The two were lying on the kang, Wang Dahu suddenly said to Li Qingran: "I want to tell my parents about the two of us."
Li Qingran couldn't help but froze when he heard this, and said after a long time: "Wait a little longer, grandma just passed away, don't provoke uncles and aunts anymore!"
"No! I've decided!" Wang Dahu tightened his waist: "Sooner or later, things have to be explained. We really love each other. There is nothing shameful. You were also raised by your parents. They must will bless us."
Contrary to Wang Dahu and Li Qingran's expectations, when they knelt in front of their parents and told the whole story, Wang Guangzong and Zhang Fang behaved very "calmly" with a faint feeling of "knowing it a long time ago".
Wiping the sweat stains on his palm secretly, Wang Dahu raised his head and glanced at his mother, who was silent but her eyes were a little red, and couldn't help saying: "Dad, Mom, the child is not filial, let you two elders down, it's just me and my mother." However, no one can do without anyone, please understand."
Wang Guangzong twisted the cigarette in his hand, and sighed deeply when he heard the words: "Tiger! Dad knows that you have made up your mind since you were a child, and you can't pull back the things you set. You know, but you are a good boy , but—but you two are men after all, the road ahead will be difficult after this, have you really thought about it?"
"Dad!" Wang Dahu held Li Qingran's hand tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Since I opened my eyes again when I was seven years old, I have decided to spend my whole life looking for someone. I found him, and I will protect him from any harm. If I find him, I will cherish him and treat him as the only treasure in the world. If I find him, I will love him until The day my life ended. And now I found him." Wang Dahu turned his head and looked at Li Qingran deeply, there was so much affection in those eyes that even Wang Guangzong and Zhang Fang couldn't help it I am moved by it.
"Oh! Forget it...forget it..." After a moment of silence, Wang Guangzong smiled wryly, and said to his lover behind him: "Fang'er, the children and grandchildren still have to go on their own way after they have their children and grandchildren's blessings."
. "
Hearing this, Zhang Fang wiped her red eyes, stood up suddenly and walked towards the house, and came out holding a red box after a while.
"Of course, come here!"
Hearing this, Li Qingran walked over quickly.
"This was given to me by your grandma when I first entered the door. It can be regarded as a family heirloom of our old Wang family. I will give this to you today. You—be good with Dumb in the future!"
"Auntie..." Li Qingran looked at the little jade Buddha made of mutton fat jade in his hand, he was so stiff that he hardly dared to move. He had already prepared for the worst but he never expected—
"Stupid child, call me auntie..." Zhang Fang patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Just like Dug, call me mom!"
Li Qingran's eyes hurt, his whole heart curled up so much that he almost fainted, he opened his lips, and finally called out: "Mom—"
"Hey! Hey!"
"Mom!" Looking at this scene, Wang Dahu was really surprised and happy. He couldn't help but walked forward, hugging his mother and lover tightly in his arms: "Thank you Mom! Thank you Dad!"
How lucky he was to have such a kind and tolerant family.
The old lady had just left, and the whole family was worried about the old man. Under the strong request of Duo's parents, they were taken to the county town to live with them. Wang Dahu bought a real estate several years ago, the garden area, more than 150 square meters, enough for them to live in.
So, suppressing the sadness of the loss of their loved ones, everyone's life began to gradually return to the original track, and Wang Dahu and Li Qingran also boarded the flight to Beijing.
"You're still fiddling with it!" Looking at Li Qingran who kept rubbing the Jade Buddha beside him, Wang Dahu couldn't help but said amusedly: "You've been touching the Jade Buddha since you got on the plane, but you haven't touched it enough until now. Be careful that you fall on the ground and break it !"
"What nonsense!" Li Qingran gave someone a blank look, and thought for a while, but suddenly wanted to put the things in his heart on Wang Dahu's neck.
Wang Dahu was taken aback, "What are you doing?"
"Don't move! It is said that jade can nourish people. This is a Buddha statue. It must be very spiritual. You are not in good health. Take it with you and let the Buddha bless you a lot!"
Seeing him who was full of respect, solemnity, and seriousness, Wang Dahu scratched the tip of his nose angrily and amusedly: "Little fool, this is what our mother gave you as a daughter-in-law, what are you doing for me! Be good, Put it on yourself..."
Seeing Li Qingran's still stubborn face, Wang Dahu sighed helplessly, and pulled out the "dog brand" in his arms
.
"Look! I'm protected by this thing, absolutely fine!"
The bronze-colored iron plate has been slightly mottled due to the wear and tear of the years, but the huge tiger head on the plate is still so majestic and imposing.
Kissing it lightly, Wang Dahu smiled triumphantly and brightly: "It is already heavy enough to hang on my neck, and I must have cervical spondylosis if I hang this!"
Li Qingran: "..."
I'm thinking about reporting where my important "baby" is hidden.
