Chapter 360

Lao Yaozi didn't think anything of it.

"Thanks to old sister-in-law, you can look up to me, and I will show you in a while. Not to mention that our medicine will cure your disease, at least it will relieve your symptoms. This is not our bragging. The herbs produced in our Lingshan area, then The effect of the medicine is good..."

Shui Lian remembered that the roots of the old grass she got last time, several of them were already mature, since the old lady said she was not feeling well, she waited for the time to give it to Song Wenbo, this one was suitable for her father.

Seeing the old couple coming, Mrs. Qi hurriedly brought good things to entertain the guests.

"Xuemei, come and eat this. It was brought by the child's grandma. It tastes so good. I didn't spare the time to give it to you yesterday. When I leave, I will take some home and eat it slowly. You can eat it in winter." It feels good."

Chi Xuemei was not polite to old lady Qi either, "Okay, bring me a few back when you leave, just in time for my grandson to eat when he comes over."

Waiting for Lao Yaozi to give Zhou Changqiao and Song Changshan a good pulse before he said, "You two are not seriously ill, the stagnation of liver qi has caused some wind evils to invade the body, so, I will take some medicine for us to eat later. It’s not a big deal to pay more attention to maintenance in the future.”

Turning around, Lao Yaozi started looking for Shuilian.

"Girl, let's go into the forest and pay attention to the old grass. This time, I will dispense medicine for your grandparents. I don't have anything left here. No matter what, we have to save some for ourselves. There are old people at home. What's the matter? There is something that can be used in an emergency."

Shui Lian nodded with a smile, "Grandpa Yaozi, I'll go into the mountain to have a look later. With the help of a little monkey, it should be okay. I'll try to find as much as possible for you. See if the bodies of my great-grandpa and my grandma are also I need to adjust it, after all, the two of them are getting older, I'm afraid that if I can't wait for Grandpa Qi to come back..."

Lao Yaozi stroked his beard and sighed, "My good boy, grandpa will keep an eye on you. You can just help find the medicinal materials. Although your great-grandfather's health has improved in the past two years, we can't be careless."

On the night of thirty, Shui Lian and the others ate dumplings, and went out with paper money to burn some for the deceased relatives.

Zhou Changqiao curled his lips when he saw their actions, and secretly said to his wife, "Aren't they practicing feudal superstition? The higher ups have repeatedly issued orders to destroy the four old ways. Why do they dare to do this?"

Song Changshan was so angry that he almost wanted to slap him, if he didn't see that he was in someone else's house, he really wanted to educate this old wife who was a little confused.

"Stop talking, no one thinks you are dumb, the fourth child and the children go out to burn paper money for the third child, you want the child to suffer like this down there.

Are you a mother? What’s wrong with burning paper? It’s been a custom for so many years. It doesn’t matter if you say it’s broken. You old woman doesn’t know whether you love the child or not. I can’t understand it now. It's..."

When the old man got angry, he walked out with his hands behind his back. He also wanted to talk to his son about their family's affairs during this time.

Outside the wall of the east courtyard, three generations of people, old and young, lit burning paper for their relatives, while Song Chengyu knelt down and burned it.

The little guy didn't say a word, and let the tears flow freely on his face. Shui Lian and Shi Shi couldn't bear to see it, and helped wipe the tears with a handkerchief.

"Brother, don't be sad. If the third uncle knows that you are living well now, he will definitely be happy for you."

Song Wenbo helped his father-in-law burn the paper money for his mother-in-law, and ran over to help Song Chengyu continue to burn it.

"Third brother, everything is fine here at home, our parents are fine, and the children are fine, you and the third sister-in-law can rest assured down here, if you still have any wishes that are lost, give us a dream at night, brother I must find a way to help you..."

Song Changshan who was standing behind them couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard these words. People say that middle-aged people are afraid of losing their wives and old age, and they are afraid of losing their children. Why is he, an honest third son, willing to leave them behind and leave?

Seeing his old in-laws like this, Zheng Furong felt more sentimental.

Hugging his shoulders from behind, "Dear family, maybe the children will enjoy the blessings down below, don't be sad, otherwise the children won't feel at ease down there.

As long as you live well, the couple can feel at ease. Alas, my daughter doesn't know whether she is dead or alive. I don't dare to burn paper money even if I want to. There is always hope in my heart, even if it is a child begging Whether she was abducted or not, at least she is living in a certain corner of the world, it is better to be alive than to be gone..."

The two old men with the same mood supported each other, watching the fire on the ground in the cold winter night, but silently praying for the dead and relatives who didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

As the fire faded, Cheng Yu kowtowed three times towards the fire, and Song Wenbo called his two children to kowtow to their third uncle and third aunt.

"You didn't see my two children before. Let the two children kowtow to you two today, which is considered to recognize you two elders. When you go out and walk in the future, don't miss your family, third brother and third sister-in-law. From now on, you two will take good care of our family down below, and thank you face to face when the little brother goes down in the future..."

Shui Lian doesn't know what mood she is in now, burning paper money for her great-grandfather's uncle feels different from burning paper money for her third uncle, and she always feels sour in her heart.

The grandsons of the fifth master's family sacrificed their lives for the country anyway, but she felt that it was a pity for the third uncle and his wife. It would be better to live than to die. No matter how much they endured, they would see the dawn in just a few years.

Sighing secretly, he and Shishi helped Cheng Yu up, maybe because he had been kneeling for a long time, the little guy's legs were a little stiff.

Song Changshan came over to help his grandson, "Good boy, if your parents down here know that you are so filial, they will be very happy. Oh, let's go home..."

Zhou Changqiao stood at the gate and watched the scene on the east side, feeling sour, as a mother, she might not feel sorry for the loss of her son, but she also had hatred in her heart, hating for leaving her behind, nothing Nostalgic son.

Why did he have the heart to leave their old couple so hard? Could it be that she worked so hard to bring him up to make him commit suicide?

Song Wenbo saw his old lady standing blankly at the door, sighed and walked over.

"Mom, go back. It's cold outside. If the third brother and the others see it, they won't have the heart to let you suffer from the cold forever. This is his own choice. Don't think too much about it when you grow old. Life and death depend on life and wealth. Do you think maybe It's not worth it, but in the eyes of the third brother, maybe this is also a kind of relief, and it's not too late to blame when we get down later."

The old lady's tears flowed down the corners of her eyes involuntarily.

"Fourth brother, why does your third brother have the heart to let us white-haired people give away black-haired people? It's not just our family. Why doesn't he learn from other people?"

Zheng Furong persuaded from the side, "It was easy to break just now, the third child is too strong-tempered and straightforward, he thinks he is right so he can't bear this kind of humiliation, so don't blame the child, right and wrong can be decided freely later, Maybe in the future the child will be treated fairly.”

Shitou pulled Chengyu back first followed by Shui Lian. The two of them were worried that his knee would be damaged if he knelt for a long time, so they took him back to take a hot bath first.

After Mrs. Qi finished burning paper for her son in the yard, she was busy heating water for the family members to bathe and change their New Year's clothes.

Seeing the old lady busy, Shui Lian hurriedly let her rest.

"Grandma, let me come. You have to rest for a while. You have been tired all day. We should have a good rest when the new year comes. Next year we should have a good new atmosphere."

Yan Dangui smiled and patted her head, "Girl, your new clothes are in the closet. Grandma has prepared them for you. Remember to change them later. Our family does not lack these, so don't save them, or grandma will put those clothes on you." The cheongsam will be disassembled to make new clothes for you, to see if you still wear it."

For this old lady who loves herself like a granddaughter, Shui Lian has long regarded her as her own grandmother in her heart.

"Hehe, grandma, I'll change it later. You go to drink some water first, and I'll soak it for you. I'll make you some delicious porridge in the middle of the night. I guarantee that you will be healthy and energetic next year." , Grandpa and the others said that there is hope for the day when they come back, so you all have to be well, and when my grandpa and the others come back, our family will live a good life."

Song Changshan could also see that his granddaughter was very close to this old lady of the Qi family. Although his own old lady was a real grandma, this comparison could tell the difference.

It's not that the child is not filial to the elderly, but the child is too filial. The old lady basically let her confess, and this one in my family enjoys the care of the child very much. Compared with the old lady Qi After reaching one level, I secretly sighed in my heart, why didn't the old woman see clearly the twists and turns.

However, the granddaughter and grandson are very close to him. The old man was disappointed but also gained a lot. He sighed in his heart. If he doesn't kiss, he can't kiss. Just because of the old lady's attitude towards the child, it is probably difficult for others to get close. This character It's not that he hasn't noticed it, but he hasn't helped to correct it after correcting it all his life.

The whole family sat on the kang after washing, and Shui Lian smiled and handed everyone the tonic.

"This is the lotus seed and jujube porridge that Stone and I have just stewed. Let's drink it while it's hot. I wish you all a good health in the coming year."

Shitou and Chengyu smiled and handed each of them a bowl. Song Wenbo and the others had eaten it before and knew it was good, while Zheng Furong didn't say anything else and just ate it.

The old lady looked at it suspiciously, but she couldn't hold back seeing how delicious the food was.

"Well, it's delicious, girl, do you have any more, give me another bowl, I haven't eaten such a fragrant lotus seed porridge for a long time, let alone your taste is more authentic than the ones I have eaten before..."
