After arriving at the cemetery, the surroundings were quiet and solemn, with only the occasional sound of birds singing and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Su Mianmian and others stood silently in front of the tomb, gently put down the flowers in their hands, and then bowed together.
Wen Yuexian and Wen Boqiao chattered about some recent events. After they finished, Su Mianmian and several other young people gathered together and chattered for a long time.
Then, everyone made room and Grandpa Wen slowly walked forward. His slightly hunched figure was particularly eye-catching in the morning light.
He waved gently to the crowd.
Everyone immediately understood Grandpa Wen's intention and walked away quietly. After a while, Grandpa Wen was the only one left in front of Grandma Wen's tombstone.
He squatted down and carefully arranged the bouquet he had just put down.
Then he filled a glass with wine, poured it slowly onto the ground, and said softly, "Old woman, I'm here to see you again. I'm a little late this year, so please don't scold me!"
"As you can see, the children are all doing well, and I'm doing well too. How are you doing over there?"
As he spoke, Grandpa Wen smiled and said, "Look at me, you must be doing well. After all, you are so capable and so great."
He reached out and gently stroked the black and white photo on Grandma Wen's tombstone, as if he could touch her face.
Grandpa Wen's eyes were filled with nostalgia. "You are still so beautiful, unlike me, who has become an old man. When you get there, you must not look down on me."
Grandpa Wen talked to the photo on the tombstone for a long time before he wiped his tears reluctantly and slowly stood up.
He reached out and touched the photo again, and said softly, "I'm leaving now. I'll bring the children to see you next year."
After saying this, Grandpa Wen slowly turned and left. Wen Yuexian and Wen Boqiao saw this and immediately stepped forward to support him.
Su Mianmian and others also gathered around, and the group escorted Grandpa Wen back home.
At this time, Wen Bo had already asked someone to prepare the meal.
"Sir, you're back?" Wen Bo stepped forward and asked with concern.
Grandpa Wen patted Uncle Wen on the shoulder and said, "You're back, you're back."
Wen Bo smiled and asked, "Sir, how many days will you stay here this time?"
Grandpa Wen smiled and said, "I won't stay this time. I'll go back in the afternoon."
"I see. I'll go get you some food to take with you."
"No need, prepare it every time." Grandpa Wen stopped him.
Wen Bo pretended to be angry and said, "Sir, please listen to me. I won't feel at ease if I don't prepare something."
Grandpa Wen smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, as you say."
"Okay, sir, you guys eat first, I'll be right back."
Having said that, Wen Bo quickly walked out the door.
Grandpa Wen smiled and shook his head, then invited everyone to eat.
After they had finished their meal, Wen Bo had already prepared several large bags of things and directed his son to load them into the car.
Seeing this, Wen Boqiao stepped forward to express his gratitude, smiled and waved his hand to signal them to go and rest for a while.
Wen Boqiao didn't hesitate and helped Grandpa Wen back to the house to rest.
In the afternoon, when Grandpa Wen woke up from his nap, the family drove back to Beijing.
A few of them first followed Wen's grandfather back to his house, had dinner, and then returned to the courtyard.
The three of them felt a little tired when they got home, so they said goodbye to the four old people and went to bed early.
…
the next day
Su Mianmian stayed in bed, and when she woke up, Shen Yuandao had already gone to work. Su Mianmian sympathized with Shen Yuandao in her heart and then went to wash up.
After she finished washing up, she went to the living room.
The four old men and A Yan gathered together to watch TV, discussing from time to time.
When the five people saw Su Mianmian coming in, they quickly asked her to watch with them.
Seeing this, Su Mianmian moved a small stool and sat between Grandma Shen and Grandma Su and started watching with them.
An episode of the TV series ended, and there was a knock on the door. Su Mianmian patted Ah Yan's leg and said lazily, "Open the door and see who's here."
A Yan nodded, got up and opened the door. After a while, Yun Sheng came in with Yun Shu's family.
Seeing her relatives, Su Mianmian's eyes flashed with surprise. She stepped forward quickly, "Mom, aunt, uncle, you are back? When did you come back? How come I didn't know you were back?"
Yun Shu walked over and took her hand, "Well, we came back last night, so why don't we come over for a walk this morning?"
Hearing this, Su Mianmian scratched her head embarrassedly, "Hey, I was really too tired yesterday. I didn't even notice you guys were back. Come on, sit over here."
She pointed to the sofa beside her, and Yun Shu and the other two sat down after hearing her words.
As soon as the three of them sat down, they started chatting with the four old people about family matters. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
Su Mianmian listened to the conversation and suddenly thought of something and asked, "Aunt and uncle, why don't you go back for lunch today? Let's eat here."
"No, no, we're here just to eat." Yun Shu replied with a smile.
"Okay, Ah Yan and I will go buy some things later, and Aunt Cui and I will cook together at noon."
Yun Sheng listened from the side and couldn't help but chuckle, "That's great! I remember you were a very delicious cook. I'm in for a treat today!"
Su Mianmian raised her eyebrows and smiled smugly, "That must include something delicious."
Su Mianmian chatted with them for a while, then took A Yan to buy vegetables and meat.
Not long after she and A Yan left, Su Qingqing came over holding Xi Bao.
When everyone saw little Xibao, they stopped talking and focused on playing with Xibao.
When the two of them came back with the vegetables, it was still early, so Su Mianmian took A Yan to wash the vegetables while waiting for Aunt Cui.
It was almost noon when Aunt Cui came over. When she saw the washed vegetables and cut meat, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Su Mianmian smiled when she saw this. "After Ah Yan and I bought the food, we saw it was still early, so we started preparing."
Aunt Cui nodded and said, "Okay, this will save us a lot of trouble."
As she spoke, Aunt Cui had already started cooking. Seeing this, Su Mianmian also started stewing braised pork in another pot.
The two chatted while cooking, and when the meal was cooked, the time was just right, Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan went home after get off work.
Su Mianmian invited everyone to eat.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, little Xibao clamored for food. Su Mianmian made him some porridge and asked Su Qingqing to feed him.
When the little guy saw it, he kept shaking his head and pointing at the braised pork on the table, babbling non-stop. Su Qingqing had no choice but to dip her chopsticks in some soup to let him taste it.
But even so, little Xibao is already very happy.
He drank up the small bowl of mihu.
After dinner, Yun Sheng took Yun Shu and He Yunming home.
…
In the following time, with Yunshu accompanying Grandpa Yun, He Youan ran to the courtyard every day, and went to the game hall with Ayan to play games from time to time.
