Chapter 15 Plain and Pure Colors
One hundred and thirteen
Situ Cong's calligraphy is very beautiful, so the list of filial sons is written by him. Early tomorrow morning, Situ Cong's father will be buried, everyone discussed it a little more, and then they all left, although the three children have grown up, but because they are juniors, they all stay in their rooms and are silent.
Through Situ Cong's father's funeral, Ge Wei learned about the local custom, that is, the list of filial sons only writes sons and daughters-in-law, not daughters and sons-in-law. The sons are full names, such as Situ Keong, Situ Zhuang, and Situ Cong. The daughter-in-law is a certain family, such as Ge Wei, who is Situ Ge. Grandchildren, boys from the son's family can be on the list of filial sons, but girls cannot.
As for the tombstone, only the names of the members of the son's family can be engraved, and the granddaughter can write the full name, but the wife is still so-and-so. This is also one of the reasons why Ge Wei proposed to cross out the names of his family of three from the list of filial sons.
For this so-called traditional custom, Ge Wei really can't tolerate it, and it's hard to accept it. Although everyone told her that everyone knew that this was not good, there was no way, it was a "rule" and could not be changed.
However, Ge Wei believes that as long as he dares to object, these people will not dare to do what he says, the reason is very simple, he is speaking for his sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, sister-in-law Situ Xue and sister-in-law Situ Shuang, and several girls. And whether it is Situ Qiang or Situ Zhuang, in fact, from the bottom of their hearts, they hope that their wives and daughters will leave their real names on the list of filial sons and tombstones. Otherwise, as Ge Wei said to them, there are many people surnamed Wang and Li in the world, who knows that Situ Wang and Situ Li are Wang Cuixi? Li Lotus?
Of course, the final result was as Ge Wei expected, and all the female names that appeared on the list of filial sons were all real names. However, Ge Wei didn't know that from then on, other families in Situ Bay did the same as Situ Zhuang's family......
The list of filial sons has been written, and the things that should be said have been said, and early tomorrow morning, Situ Cong's father will be "buried in the ground". Everyone else also went back to rest, and only Situ Zhuang, Situ Cong, Lotus, and Ge Wei, who was called down by Situ Cong, to send off the guests in the hall.
"Third child, you keep a vigil for your master tonight." Although Situ Cong and Ge Wei only arrived at home this afternoon, Situ Zhuang still said to Situ Cong in a non-negotiable tone.
"I don't, I'm afraid!" Situ Cong refused very simply, which made Ge Wei look at him in surprise, she really didn't expect Situ Cong to say this.
"You have to keep it even if you're afraid, it's the rule." Situ Zhuang's tone was tough
"I'll keep it!" Ge Wei took over, she didn't want things to be deadlocked.
"You're not afraid? This one is a one-night vigil. Lotus looked at Ge Wei in surprise, she was indeed very surprised that Ge Wei would take the initiative to keep a vigil for Situ Cong's father. She has grown so big, and it is the first time she has seen her daughter-in-law keep a vigil for her father-in-law.
"I know!" Ge Wei glanced at everyone lightly, "You all go and rest!" ”
"Okay, then we'll go to sleep." After Situ Cong finished speaking, he turned to Situ Zhuang, "Second brother, you sleep with me, I'm afraid." ”
Hearing Situ Cong say this, Ge Wei believed that Situ Cong was really scared. She suddenly had an idea, was Situ Cong frightened by something when he was growing up?
However, Situ Cong didn't forget one thing before going upstairs, that is, he left the brazier to Ge Wei. Situ Zhuang specially instructed Ge Wei, "Don't close the door, otherwise you won't find your way home, remember to change the incense, don't wait for the incense to go out." ”
"Hmm!"
Ge Wei watched Situ Cong and Situ Zhuang go upstairs, and the lotus entered the wing. Then, Ge Wei put on a new incense, then took a small chair and put it next to the brazier and sat down...... Through the wide open door, you can see that the snow is still falling outside.
Inside the hall, a peaceful atmosphere spreads, as if even the air is filled with a faint smell of snow. The furniture around was well arranged, but it seemed a little lonely in the silent silence. The clock on the table next to the wall ticks, and every second seems to be deliberately stretched, highlighting the silence of the night.
Through the large open wooden door, the world of wind and snow outside came into Ge Wei's eyes. Driven by the wind, the snowflakes swirl and fall in the air like light dancers. They were sprinkled in front of the door, already piled up into a thin white blanket, as if nature had carefully prepared for the threshold.
The layer of snow at the entrance shimmered in the faint light of the hall. Snowflakes fall on it, making a subtle rustling sound that contrasts with the silence of the hall. When a gust of wind blows, a few snowflakes drift into the house, gently swirling in the air and eventually landing on the ground or furniture, adding a bit of vibrancy and vitality to this tranquil space.
"It's snowing in Hacheng, too, right? Will the son be looking for his mother? Thinking of this, Ge Wei only felt a disturbance in her heart, she stood up abruptly and walked out of the house-
Ge Wei stood in the open space in front of the door, letting the wind wrap the snow all over his body...... The village on a snowy night has a different kind of beauty, but this kind of beauty is something that Ge Wei no longer wants to see. She knew that although she had thought about going back to this home for the last time many years ago, since the old man was still there, she knew that it was just a momentary thought. However, this time it was different, and the old man had already traveled far away......
"When you go back, you must buy a mobile phone." This thought suddenly flashed in Ge Wei's mind, too, he had always thought that mobile phones were too expensive and were reluctant to buy them, but all the savings he had saved over the years were brought back this time. Now, even if you want to buy it, you have to save a few more months of salary.
Thinking of this, Ge Wei let out a long sigh silently......
Nan Jiahui made a lot of small clothes for her grandchildren and was planning to send them to Su Yu. But he received a call from Ye Wenbo, saying that he was going to Shanghai for a meeting and came to see her at home on Sunday......
"Wen Bo, let's let my mother go back with you, otherwise you can send the child to Shanghai, we can't always let Su Yu's parents see it. If you can't do it again, Mom will pay for you to hire two nannies. Nan Jiahui sat on the edge of the bed, packing up her small clothes, and said to Ye Wenbo who was standing beside her.
"Mom, my father-in-law and mother-in-law have said that if you want to have children, you are welcome to go and see them at any time. As for watching the children, you don't have to worry, the family has also hired a nanny, plus the father-in-law and mother-in-law, and Yuyu, which is enough. Ye Wenbo explained
"Wenbo, I know they are kind, but I don't go to be a mother-in-law, and it doesn't sound good for outsiders to say it!" Nan Jiahui also said her true thoughts
"It's okay, this is our own family, and others can say whatever they like. Mom, when the children are older, I'll send them to live with you for a while. Ye Wenbo waved his hand
"Well, then it's up to you. You told you to call me often and tell me about the child's situation. Nan Jiahui saw that she couldn't convince her son, sighed, and put the little clothes in the suitcase.
Ye Wenbo looked at the suitcase full of clothes and smiled, "Mom, you are preparing so much again." Yu Yu also called yesterday and said that Aunt Zhao and Aunt Ding had made a big box of clothes for the two children, and Yu Yu estimated that five children would be able to wear enough. ”
"You just bring it, this is also my intention to be a grandmother, the child grows up fast, and there are two babies, these are still far away, and I will do some when I pass." Nan Jiahui zipped up the suitcase
"Mom! Then I'll go back first, it's not too early. Ye Wenbo picked up the box and prepared to leave
"You really don't live at home?" Nan Jiahui stood up, her tone full of reluctance.
"No, there's an event at the conference, I have to go back." Ye Wenbo said as he walked out
"Wenbo, wait a minute, I have something to ask you." Nan Jiahui called Ye Wenbo
"What's the matter?" Ye Wenbo stopped and turned around.
"It's the incident that Uncle Liu talked to you about, what do you think?" Nan Jiahui asked in a low voice
"I discussed it with Yuxi, and we both felt that the army spent so much money to train me, and if I propose to change jobs now, don't say I'm sorry for the leaders of the unit, and we really can't open our mouths. Mom, you still thank Uncle Liu for me, and I won't go to his company. Ye Wenbo's voice was not loud, he did not want to disappoint his mother.
"I really let Uncle Liu guess, he guesses that you won't agree. He also said, you are a rare talent, and now the network information unit must be the same as him, there is a shortage of people. He also said that if you really don't want to change jobs now, then do it first in the army. He will hold on to himself for a few more years, and when the army feels that it doesn't need you anymore, you will come back to take over his shift. Nan Jiahui sighed
"Mom, I ......" Ye Wenbo still wanted to speak
"Okay, let's not talk about it, in your Uncle Liu's heart, you are his biological son." Nan Jiahui patted Ye Wenbo's arm lightly, "Go back quickly, didn't you say that there was still something wrong?" ”
"Well, then I'm leaving, mom has to pay more attention to her body. This summer, I'm here to pick you up to see your grandchildren. Ye Wenbo smiled at Nan Jiahui
"Good! You are the same, pay attention to your body, this time you came back, and you lost a lot of weight. By the way, have you received the things that Ye'er sent you? Nan Jiahui asked while sending Ye Wenbo downstairs
"Roger!" Ye Wenbo nodded
"This girl, I'll ask you as soon as I call." Nan Jiahui followed Ye Wenbo and walked out......
Although the winter in Shanghai is not as snowy as in the north, it also has a unique flavor.
In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight penetrate the mist, the fog on the banks of the Huangpu River begins to slowly dissipate, revealing a slight ripple on the surface of the river. The tall buildings in the distance look particularly cold and solemn in the winter sun, as if they have been plated with a faint layer of gold. The plane trees on both sides of the street, whose leaves have fallen and are only bare branches, are a stark contrast to the sky.
On the walking path of the Bund, there are occasional pedestrians hurrying by, and their steps seem a little hurried in the cold wind. The river breeze is cold, but it also has a hint of fresh taste, which makes people can't help but take a deep breath and feel this unique winter atmosphere.
In the afternoon, the sunlight gradually softens, and the sunlight shines on the Nanjing Road pedestrian street, and the bustling crowd and the dazzling array of shops form a lively picture. Despite the fact that it is winter, the prosperity of Shanghai is still undiminished. In the coffee shops and teahouses on the streets, people sit around and enjoy a leisurely time in the afternoon.
Although the winter in Shanghai does not have the snowy scene in the north, it also has its unique charm and charm. It is a cold and solemn beauty, a beauty of prosperity and tranquility.
Of course, despite the colder winter weather in Shanghai, the city still has its own unique warmth.
On a cold winter day, there are always small shops in the streets of Shanghai, which may not be conspicuous, but provide a warm haven for pedestrians. Step into a small café and the air is filled with the rich aroma of coffee and the warmth of wooden furniture. Sitting by the window, watching the pedestrians hurrying by outside the window, the hot coffee in hand and the dessert in front of you add a bit of warmth to the cold winter day.
In addition, the enthusiasm of Shanghainese is also one of the sources of warmth in the city during the winter. On the bus, passengers often take the initiative to give up their seats for the elderly or pregnant women, and this subtle care makes people feel warm. In the alley, neighbors will also help each other, which makes people feel a warm atmosphere.
In addition to the warmth between people, Shanghai's natural landscape also shows a different kind of beauty in winter. In the park, although the leaves have fallen, those evergreen trees and shrubs are still lush, adding a touch of green to the city. On sunny days, people take a walk in the park, exercise and enjoy the rare warm winter sun.
Ye Wenbo sat in a taxi, and through the car window, he saw a pregnant woman holding her husband's hand on the sidewalk, and the two walked slowly while talking. “
Ye Wenbo looked at the pregnant woman and unconsciously thought of Su Yu and his own children. So he took out his phone and wrote a text message, "Dear Yuyu, my baby, how are you?" I miss you so much! Are our two babies bullying you again? Bear with me for a few more days, and when I come back from my visit to the house, I'll help you teach the little one! My baby! My love, know how much I love you! Miss you so much! I hope to see you right away......"
The taxi stopped suddenly, Ye Wenbo flashed suddenly, and he blurted out, "What's the matter?" ”
The middle-aged male driver turned his head and said, "Master, I'm sorry, the tire has burst, and you have to change cars." ”
"Okay!" Ye Wenbo put away the mobile phone that had not finished writing the message, paid the money, and got out of the car with his suitcase.
