Chapter 86 Paying Homage to Grandma
Song Huizi walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Liang Jingxuan dragged her to the room, "Second Uncle smoked a lot of cigarettes in there! There are cigarette butts all over the floor!"
Song Huizi was furious. "Army! Get out of here! Did I allow you to smoke in the room?!"
The army took a big gulp and said, "I didn't smoke!"
Liang Jingxuan kicked the door, "You have it! Open the door!"
Song Huizi put her hands on her hips and said, "Open the door!"
"I'll open it, I'll open it..." The Army hesitated for a long time before opening the door. The cigarette in his hand and the cigarette butts on the ground disappeared strangely, but it couldn't cover up the pungent smell of smoke.
Song Huizi's eyes were sharp, "Where's the cigarette?"
"He must be hiding!"
Liang Jingxuan rushed in with the rabbit in his arms, "Aunt! Found it! Uncle put the cigarette in Brother Ying's nose!"
"What?!" Song Huizi pushed Lu Jun away fiercely, and the remaining half of the cigarette was stuck in Yu Zeying's nostrils, with curls of white smoke lingering around. Lu Jun staggered and was about to escape, Liang Jingxuan pointed at him and shouted, "Aunt, Uncle is running away!"
Song Huizi picked up a chair and threw it over. "Ah!!!!" The scream broke Lu Sui's eardrums. He covered his ears with his hands, a barely perceptible smile in his eyes. Lu Jun crawled forward, "Chop the old shell and save me..."
"Still want to run!" Song Huizi dragged him into the room by his legs. Liang Jingxuan put the little rabbit down, "Auntie, I'll help you!"
With a "bang", the door of the room closed heavily.
"Ahhh...I was wrong, wife..."
“Ahhh…”
The screams of the Army continued...
Lu Sui pretended to be deaf and dumb, and used the remote control to turn up the volume of the TV to the maximum...
It was misty at dawn. Lu Sui loaded boxes of things needed for the memorial service into the van. The spring sunshine fell on his stern brows, giving him a soft glow.
The Army soldier, with a cigarette in his ear, stared in amazement, "Isn't this too much?"
Song Huizi glared at him, "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! Xiao Sui and Xuan Bao are together, so the engagement letter, gift letter, welcoming letter, and marriage proposal are all necessary! She is gone, but we can't just be perfunctory! Without her, how could there be Xuan Bao?"
The soldier took off the cigarette from his ear and put it in his mouth. "That's right..."
Liang Jingxuan was drowsily holding the little rabbit against the door of the van. Lu Sui had finished moving everything. Sweat dripped down his dark eyebrows, into his nose, and then dripped down from his sharp jaw. He picked him up and opened the van, "Get in the car and sleep!"
Liang Jingxuan opened his eyelids and saw Lu Sui fastening his seat belt. Looking into his deep black eyes, he called softly, "Husband..."
Lu Sui's Adam's apple rolled and his chest surged, "I'm here!"
Liang Jingxuan hugged his neck, his eyes moist, "Let's go see grandma..."
Lu Sui's eyebrows slightly curved, "I'm a little nervous..." There was a kind of nervousness of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law...
Liang Jingxuan touched his nose and said, "Grandma is very good! I like you, and she will like you too!"
The golden sunlight sprinkled into Liang Jingxuan's eyes, like a bay filled with tiny stars, "Okay!"
Lu Sui was so fascinated by him that he couldn't help biting his soft lips. He didn't want to hurt him, so he just bit them briefly...
Yunwai Town is very close to Fenghuang Town. The road was under construction recently and it took more than an hour to get there due to traffic jam.
When Liang Jingxuan saw the giant irrigation windmill, she pointed at Lu Sui excitedly and said, "Husband! Windmill, windmill! We are almost home when we see the windmill!"
There was a look of fondness in Lu Sui's eyes. "Okay, I see. Sit tight!"
The houses in Yunwai Town are relatively densely populated. Like Fenghuang Town, most of them are carved wooden tile houses, and only a few are bungalows.
On both sides of the bumpy road, the men in the village were riding the first rain of early spring, holding the plows and driving the oxen. The sharp plowshares turned over the well-watered fields piece by piece.
Liang Jingxuan stuck his head out of the window, opened his mouth, and the warm spring breeze blew in.
Lu Suiteng stretched out a hand to pull him back, "Should we go see grandma first or go home first?"
Liang Jingxuan nodded hurriedly, "Look at grandma!"
The winding mountain road was covered with half-human-high weeds, swaying wildly in the breeze. The car could only drive to the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, it was not far from the cemetery, so Lu Sui finished moving all the weeds in two trips.
The cemetery was not deserted at all. A large group of robins stood on the short mound and chirped. They were not afraid of people coming, but tilted their heads to look. The weeds on the grave were very tall. Liang Jingxuan gently pulled away the weeds blocking the tombstone and knelt down with his legs crossed.
Lu Sui originally wanted to use a sickle to cut the weeds on the grave, but when he saw Liang Jingxuan kneeling down, he walked over to him and knelt down side by side.
Liang Jingxuan stroked the words on the tombstone with his fingers, "Grandma... I'm here to see you. This time, it's not my second uncle and second aunt who came with me, but my husband. You've met him... Humph, I told him at that time that I wanted to be his wife, and you still wanted to introduce him to someone..."
Lu Sui's dark eyes were focused and deep as he looked at Liang Jingxuan. He was no longer as sharp as a falcon before, but only had endless tenderness. He grabbed Liang Jingxuan's hand, intertwined their fingers and said solemnly,
"Grandma, my name is Lu Sui. This is the second time we've met. Xuan Bao and I are together. I love him and I will only be with him for the rest of my life. If I change my mind, I'll die!"
Liang Jingxuan was frightened by his sinister tone, "How did he die?"
Lu Sui's eyes were as cold as ice, and his expression was terrifying. "I will die the way you want me to die!"
Liang Jingxuan, "..."
She broke free from his hand and said, "I don't want to be a widow yet..."
Lu Sui suddenly smiled and continued, "Grandma, if you are still alive, please supervise me. I will definitely treat Xuanbao well and live a good life with him!"
After saying that, he kowtowed three times to the tombstone, and Liang Jingxuan followed suit.
After bowing, Liang Jingxuan said softly to the tombstone, "Grandma, she is back and wanted to take me away. I remembered what you said to me and didn't go with her... She has another baby. She treats her very well... They wanted to hold the baby but I didn't let them!"
A strong wind blew, and the robins on the grave scattered and fled, some fell into the bushes, and some flew onto the branches.
Liang Jingxuan let go of Lu Sui's hand, crawled to the tombstone on her knees, and leaned against the cold tombstone with nostalgia, "Grandma... I miss you so much, I miss you so much, I'm fine now, my uncle and aunt are very good to me, and my husband is also very good to me!"
A robin on a branch flew down to his side, chirping sweetly. Liang Jingxuan reached out to touch it, but it flew away, landed on the tombstone, and looked at them with its head lowered.
Liang Jingxuan stood up holding the tombstone, and a large group of robins landed on the grave again, "Hubby, they seem to be saying that grandma knows..."
Lu Sui stared at him with dark eyes, "It's very likely..."
After the worship, the robins followed them all the way down the mountain, but stopped following them when they reached the pass. Liang Jingxuan turned his body to look at them and said, "You guys should go back. We are leaving soon... I will come to see you next year."
The robins didn't fly away, just looked at him. Liang Jingxuan got in the car, fastened his seat belt, and Lu Sui started the engine. The robins flew away one after another.
Liang Jingxuan looked at the receding mountain. After an unknown amount of time, the tear at the end of his eye finally fell from his long eyelashes, unable to bear the heavy burden. He promised his grandmother not to cry, but it was so difficult...
Lu Sui was quick to sense that he was in a bad mood, so she pulled over, unbuckled her seat belt, leaned over to suck away the tear that was about to fall, and then gently and slowly kissed her soft red lips...
The rusty door and the weeds everywhere indicated that no one had lived there for a long time. Liang Jingxuan tried to open the door with his butt raised for a long time, "The lock is rusty..."
Lu Sui took the lock and looked at it, and a layer of rust appeared in his heart. "I'll change it later."
Pushing the door open and walking in, a moldy smell hit my nose. There was a red bayberry tree planted in the yard. Two ropes were tied to the thick trunk to make a swing. The swing mat was full of small insects. Liang Jingxuan gently pushed the swing and said, "My grandma made this for me..."
Lu Sui held his shoulders and said, "I'll make one for you when we get home!"
"good……"
The house was empty. All the valuable items had been sold by Liang Yong. There were some photos hanging on the wall, many of which were moldy.
One of the photos showed Liang Jingxuan, who was less than one year old, sitting in a sunflower-shaped soft chair with a pacifier in her mouth. She was wearing a jumpsuit with a little bunny printed on it and looked chubby and fair. Lu Sui took the photo out of the frame and put it in his chest pocket.
Song Huizi had just come to clean the house before the New Year, so there was nothing dirty. The two of them pulled out half of the grass in the yard. A woman with long hair and a floral dress came to the door and asked, "Who's in there?"
Liang Jingxuan stood up, "Me!"
The woman pushed open the door and came in, "Xuanbao is back!"
Liang Jingxuan threw away the grass in his hand, trotted over, and hugged her gently, "Aunt Qin!"
Qin Xiang held his face and smiled softly, "I guessed you would come back today. I have been waiting since morning. Have you eaten yet?"
"Eat it! Aunt Qin is my husband!" Liang Jingxuan said, pointing at Lu Sui.
Lu Sui walked over calmly, but she was actually very nervous. She followed Liang Jingxuan and called her politely, "Auntie Qin, hello, my name is Lu Sui!"
Qin Xiang saw that he had regular features and a dignified demeanor, and his previous wariness was much reduced. "You are Brother Lu's son, right? You two look so much alike!"
Lu Sui smiled shyly, "No, it's not me... I'm his brother's son, he and my dad are twins!"
Qin Xiang exclaimed, "No wonder! I was wondering why they look so similar..."
"Aunt Qin, do you have a baby?" Liang Jingxuan gently touched her bulging belly.
Qin Xiang touched her belly, her face full of love, "Yes! It's just been two months, and we don't know yet whether it's a boy or a girl!"
Liang Jingxuan held her belly and kissed it, "It's my brother and sister!"
Qin Xiang chuckled and said, "Don't be greedy, you can only have one!"
Liang Jingxuan lay on her belly and whispered, "I'm not greedy..."
Lu Sui suddenly remembered something, "Aunt Qin, I want to ask, do you know that Xuanbao and grandma have been to the Qambaling Monastery in Lancangjiang?"
Qin Xiang pinched Liang Jingxuan's face and said, "I know! When Xuanbao was a child, he was always sick. A cold could take half his life. My aunt heard from others that the Qiangba Ling Temple in Lancang River is a holy place, the closest place to the gods. Children who go there to pray have a patron saint when they come back."
"My aunt thought of giving it her all, and it was amazing! Xuanbao hasn't been sick since he came back!"
Lu Sui lowered his eyes, "So that's how it is!"
Just as I was about to say thank you, the phone rang. I picked it up and it was the Army. "Head chopper, come back quickly! Something happened!"
