Chapter 552 Sister, actually Guoer knows everything
After greeting the neighbors, the old man shouted:
“Give me the unused red envelope at home. Find it.”
Soon, a thick stack of unopened red envelopes was handed to my grandfather’s hand.
Under the watchful eyes of a group of people, the old man unhurriedly chopped the branches he had cut back from the back mountain into sections with a hatchet.
Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, he wrapped the branches one by one in red envelopes. Each red envelope contained two small sections, no more or less.
In the distance, Feiyan, who was serving as a medic in the team, suddenly frowned and whispered to his teammates:
"The old gentleman's face is not as rosy as before."< br>
With Feiyan’s reminder, Ye Lang and others took a closer look and found that it was true.
Not only is it not rosy, nor is it pale, but it is a little dark.
Feiyan murmured to herself: "It's almost time."
Without letting anyone interfere, the old man wrapped thirty-six red envelopes by himself.
No surprise, all the men received the red envelopes passed down from generation to generation first.
Mo Jingchun held the red envelope in her right hand and felt very uncomfortable.
At first, Mo Jingchun was a little confused about what his grandfather was doing after cutting some branches.
It wasn't until the moment when his grandfather put the branches into the red envelope that Mo Jingchun suddenly realized it.
Firewood, firewood, isn’t that just firewood?
Wrapped in a red envelope, doesn’t it mean passing on the fire from generation to generation?
"Candy, here, grandpa gave it to you." The old man handed the red envelope to the little guy with a smile.
Candy, who was holding the little golden pig, looked up at Mo Jingchun.
Mo Jingchun nodded, Candy accepted this different red envelope.
Soon, out of thirty-six red envelopes, the old man only had one left in his hand.
After hesitating for a moment, the old man stood up and asked everyone not to follow him, and returned to the room alone.
A few minutes passed, and just when everyone was getting a little anxious, the old man came out.
The difference is that the old man has another red envelope in his hand, which is still wrapped in red paper.
Under the gaze of everyone, the old man walked up to Li Xuanyu.
Sighed, "My child, my Xiaochun's parents are no longer here, and you are here for the first time."
"According to the rules, as long as the elders agree, the first When I come and leave for the first time, the elders in the family will give me a big red envelope to express their satisfaction.”
"You have also seen my Xiaochun family. The two little guys, brother and sister, depend on each other. Only I, the old guy, can do things like red envelopes for my daughter and son-in-law."
Just when Li Xuanyu felt helpless , when he didn't know what to do, Mo Jingchun gently patted Li Xuanyu on the shoulder.
"Grandpa's kindness, just accept it."
Seeing that both red envelopes were accepted, the old man laughed loudly, "I want it, I want it!"
Then he turned and looked at the station. Zhou Yaling, who was at the door of the kitchen, shouted: "Girl, don't be stunned, quickly carry grandpa's bath water to the room."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yaling's body trembled and she turned around tremblingly body.
Behind her, Zhou Yaling felt her grandfather’s voice getting quieter and quieter.
"Dear fellow villagers, please forgive me for my poor hospitality over the years."
By the time Zhou Yaling carried the hot boiling water from the kitchen to the room, Zhou Yaling had exhausted all her strength. If Li Xuanyu hadn't helped her, Oh, Zhou Yaling almost collapsed on the ground.
Soon, except for the Zhou Xing brothers, everyone else was invited out of the room by the old man.
In the room, Zhou Xing was adjusting the water temperature.
The old man sat on the bed and gently touched the last set of clothes in his life with his hands.
"The fabric is good, but it's too flowery."
As he said that, the old man glanced at his son and said in a calm tone:
"What's so sad?"
"It's a happy event for me, what are you crying for?"
"Tell them, no one is allowed to cry, they have to be lively, and the stage is set up for me."
"Don't worry, all my savings belong to you two brothers, no one can take them away."
"Also, don't fawn over Xiaochun just because he is doing well now. One day he will not do well. If you don't, then you will turn your back on me."
"Don't dare," Zhou Xing said in a low voice.
The old man smiled softly, "I know you two don't dare."
"Alas~"
"When I leave, many relationships will fade~"
As if he thought of something again, the old man pointed to the drawer of the broken desk and said: "Boy, take out your notebook."
< br>“I won’t talk about the account books, they have been given to you a long time ago.”
Opening the seldom-opened book in his hand, the old man said with emotion:
"You must not only keep this book, but also don't show it to outsiders. Everything recorded in it is The birth dates and birthdays of all your children.”
In the yard, Candy, who was guarding the little golden pig, frowned and always felt something was wrong, but couldn't explain it.
"Brother, do you feel weird?"
Sitting on the bench, Mo Jingchun looked at his sister who was thinking about life, paused, and then said slowly:
"We will understand when our Guo'er grows up."
Candy's frown deepened now.
"Guo'er has grown up and is already in the senior class."
"Well, let's grow up a little bit more."
"Humph~ Brother, you are so annoying, you always put Guo'er Treat me like a child.”
Unlike relatives like Mo Jingchun, the neighbors sitting in the yard were talking and laughing, each talking about different topics.
Someone even started playing poker.
Mo Jingchun was not unfamiliar with such a scene. I have seen too many of them since I was a child.
The sun was shining high, and Mo Jingchun glanced at the time, and it was already ten o'clock.
After waiting for a long time, Mo Jingchun’s ears twitched and there was the sound of opening the door.
Mo Jingchun looked up and saw his uncle walking out.
I just don’t look good.
"Let's all go in and take a look."
After saying that, Zhou Xing took Mo Jingchun's hand and said in a low tone: "The old man has given instructions not to let the candy go in. Let that girl Li Xuanyu see it." Take care of the kids."< br>
“The old man is afraid of scaring Candy.”
Seeing that Candy was about to run over, Mo Jingchun winked at Li Xuanyu, and Li Xuanyu, who understood instantly, reached out and picked up Candy, who was full of doubts. .
“Sister Xuanyu, uncle said everyone is going in.”
"Their adults have important matters to discuss, so we won't interfere."
"Oh~"
The room was crowded with people again, when Mo Jingchun saw his grandfather again When, my heart sank.
Grandpa was lying on the bed wearing a shroud, panting heavily, his face was dark.
Even so, my grandfather still had a smile on his face.
No one spoke, and time passed slowly.
Until a certain moment, the half-opened eyes slowly closed, and the gasping mouth no longer opened.
There was a burst of crying in an instant.
"Don't cry, the old man has told you that no one is allowed to cry during happy events."
While Mo Jingchun was stunned, the sound of fireworks rang out outside the house.
Under the big pine tree, Candy looked up at the fireworks and suddenly smiled.
Under Zhou Yaling’s astonished look, Candy smiled and said:
“Sister, Guoer actually knows everything.”
Smiling, Candy loves to laugh. I cried silently. (End of this chapter)
