After buying flowers and memorial supplies, the family went straight to the cemetery.
Lin Jianhua and Zeng Yaqing skillfully began to clean the weeds and dust in front of the tombstone, and slowly swept away the fallen leaves with a broom, making the area around the tombstone look brand new, tidy and clean.
Zeng Yaqing then looked at her two children and called out, "Xixi, Haoyu."
After hearing their mother's voice, Lin Nanxi and Lin Haoyu quickly stepped forward and presented the flowers in their hands to their grandparents. At the same time, they hoped that the flowers could bring some warmth to the resting place of their elders.
Lin Jianhua stood silently in front of the tombstone, looking lonely and desolate.
He was just staring quietly at the name engraved on the tombstone, his expression serious and solemn, his mouth tightly closed without a trace of a smile. Even the sunlight shining on him seemed unable to warm his heavy heart.
Zeng Yaqing, Lin Nanxi and Lin Haoyu did not make a sound to disturb him when they saw this. They just stood quietly beside Lin Jianhua, as if conveying a kind of silent power to him.
The atmosphere at this moment is like a tranquil painting, with no noise, no interference, only silent protection.
After a long while, Lin Jianhua finally said, "Bow to your grandparents."
Upon hearing this, Lin Nanxi and Lin Haoyu stood obediently in front of the tombstone and bowed deeply, and then the family of four slowly left the cemetery.
After returning to the car, Lin Haoyu touched his rumbling stomach and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm hungry."
"What do you want to eat?"
Lin Haoyu blurted out, "I want to eat fried pancakes. I haven't eaten pancakes since I went to Shanghai."
Not to mention Lin Haoyu wanted to eat it, even Zeng Yaqing and Lin Jianhua missed the taste of pancakes, but fried pancakes are a specialty of Huairen County and cannot be bought outside the county.
"Okay." After saying that, Zeng Yaqing looked at Lin Nanxi and asked, "Xixi, what do you want to eat?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Nanxi suddenly thought of the duck blood vermicelli restaurant she often ate before she went to Shanghai.
Although duck blood vermicelli is a snack that is found almost all over the country and in every city, its flavors vary greatly and each has its own unique characteristics.
Ever since Lin Nanxi went to Shanghai, she has never eaten such delicious duck blood and vermicelli soup again.
Maybe it’s because of regional differences, or maybe it’s because of different moods, but in any case, she always feels that the duck blood fans in Shanghai lack something deep in their souls.
They may have similar ingredients - fresh duck blood, smooth vermicelli, and rich soup base, but it always feels like some key elements are missing, making the overall taste seem bland.
Thinking of this, Lin Nanxi said, "I want to eat the duck blood vermicelli that I used to eat often."
"OK."
Snack street.
As soon as he parked the car, Lin Haoyu said hello to his parents and ran to the pancake shop impatiently. Zeng Yaqing smiled and shook her head when she saw this.
Then she looked at Lin Nanxi and said, "There are too many people outside. How about I go and pack it up and you can eat in the car?"
Although eating in the car lacks that unique atmosphere, it is almost the New Year after all, and there are bustling crowds of people everywhere, whether it is the bustling streets or the crowded alleys.
Even the snack street, which is usually quite crowded, has become even more noisy and bustling with people.
Considering that this situation may bring unexpected troubles or changes, Zeng Yaqing thinks it is better to pack up the food and bring it back.
This not only ensures Xixi's safety, but also prevents the external environment from interfering with and affecting her dining experience.
Lin Nanxi had no objection to this, so she nodded and agreed happily, "Okay, then please help me bring me some roujiamo."
"good."
About twenty minutes later, Zeng Yaqing and Lin Jianhua returned with packed duck blood vermicelli and roujiamo. Lin Nanxi couldn't help but sniff and said quickly, "That's the smell!"
Seeing her daughter's impatient look, Zeng Yaqing smiled indulgently, "Then you eat first. Your dad and I will go find something to eat."
"Well, go ahead."
After he finished speaking, Lin Nanxi no longer cared about anything else and immediately lowered his head to eat voraciously.
Her eyes were shining, as if the duck blood vermicelli in front of her was the most precious treasure in the world.
There was no way, she missed this taste to the extreme.
When she was in Shanghai before, Lin Nanxi couldn’t see or smell this flavor, but now that the delicacy is right in front of her, how can she resist it?
And every subsequent chew and swallow made Lin Nanxi feel extremely happy and satisfied!
-
The other side.
After Lin Haoyu fried the pancakes, he started walking around while eating. Along the way, he bought everything he liked to eat.
After all, after returning to Shanghai this time, I don’t know when I will have time to come back next time.
"Lin...Haoyu?"
At this moment, Lin Haoyu suddenly heard a female voice as sweet as a yellow oriole singing in the valley, calling his name.
So he looked back with curiosity and saw a young lady in a white short down jacket running towards him quickly.
"It really is you! I thought I was seeing things." The girl said excitedly, "By the way, didn't you move to Shanghai? Why are you back?"
"It's you." Lin Haoyu said with a smile, "This time I came back with my parents and sister to visit the graves of our elders. I'll be going back after I finish shopping."
Hearing this, Shen Ling looked around and asked, "Why don't I see my uncle, aunt, and your sister?"
"My sister is waiting for us in the car. My parents went to eat somewhere else."
Hearing Lin Haoyu's words, Shen Ling lowered her eyes in disappointment. Then she didn't know what she thought of, and asked a little embarrassedly:
"Um... Would it be convenient for you to take me to meet your sister? I'm her biggest fan. Of course, if it's not convenient, forget it."
Upon hearing this, Lin Haoyu nodded and agreed without thinking. After all, his sister was waiting for them in the car, so what was the inconvenience?
Moreover, Shen Ling was his old classmate and had always helped him whenever she could.
"Sure, I'll take you to see her now."
Hearing Lin Haoyu's words, Shen Ling asked in surprise: "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Thank you." Shen Ling excitedly grabbed Lin Haoyu's hand, "Shall we go now?"
Seeing this, Lin Haoyu's ears visibly turned crimson, "Hmm...Okay."
After seeing Lin Haoyu's abnormality, Shen Ling finally reacted. She quickly let go of Lin Haoyu's hand, and her face turned red with shame.
