He was so old, and his stubble was frosted when he spoke. Liu Yafang cried as she handed over the hot water bottle, and she was moved by her uncle.
This made Bi Yue look at her second uncle in the rearview mirror frequently. Her second uncle was driving the car all alone, wrapped in a quilt.
When they arrived at the three big mountains, her mother had just calmed down, but after her uncle's introduction, it was over and her father started crying again.
Bi Tiegang lay silently against the car window, crying so hard that his nose was running, and he was so excited:
"Good girl, good, you did a good thing. The money is well spent. From now on, those children can go to school no matter how heavy the snow is. Studying can change your destiny, it can change your life!"
Bi Yue felt sad for a moment. The words "change your fate" were too heavy.
She also turned her head to look at the road sign, and the road that had been opened was called "Bi Yue Road."
…
The Bi family returned, and Zhaojiatun was in an uproar. The three-story building belonging to the Bi family was bustling with people, and everyone came in to say a few words.
The whole house is filled with the local accent and local feelings.
This person told Bi Yue: "The newspaper you are in is posted next to my kang."
Before Bi Yue could say anything, the other person continued:
"You were on TV, right? You said Liu Dabo's family was the only one in our village with a TV. We heard about the news the next day, but we didn't see it. What a pity. I also heard you were holding a national conference. Who was the most important official you met?"
Bi Yue just opened her mouth but was stopped by the fat aunt:
"Airplane, you are really capable. How did you manage to bring it back? Oh my god, everyone in the outer village asked me about it.
Aunt Fat, I've seen it a long time ago. You have great potential.
Isn't that what I said? There's no way out.
And Dacheng, hey Yafang, you said you both eat dry food, how did you raise your children? "
Bi Yue...
This year, Bi Yue's smile often froze. Her two children, as the Northeastern dialect puts it, were praised to the point of drooping skin. They weren't just praised for their intelligence; they were practically calling her a golden boy and a jade girl, the goddess of literature descended to earth.
At the government's request, she also laid the foundation for the "Bi Yue Road" sign.
In reality, it was just a pit someone had already dug in the snow, and she just had to dig it out. And this time, not only did she appear on the local TV news, but her father did too.
Isn't the old man excited? He likes her to do more good things for the villagers. Take her with you and make her father proud.
On the 28th day of the lunar year, Bi Yue took Old Lady Chu back to the place where the old lady had stayed by herself.
But this eighty-year-old lady really scared her. Because of the tossing and turning and the anger from going back to see her deceased aunt, the old lady was exhausted and caught a cold.
Liu Yafang complained to Bi Yue for a while, privately scolding her: "If anything were to happen, what would she do at such an old age? To put it bluntly, how many people would just get sick from a cold? How would she explain to the Chu family then?"
After being scolded by her mother, Bi Yue was also very worried. She gave the old lady several pills, boiled ginger water for her, and used cupping on her.
Just as Bi Yue treats Grandma Chu sincerely, the old lady also really loves her.
At such an old age, it seemed like God's will. Maybe he really didn't want his granddaughter-in-law to blame him in the future. It turned out that it was nothing serious after just a cold. It was really nice to have a good sleep.
So much so that on the morning of New Year's Eve, although Mrs. Chu was still mumbling that she had to say auspicious words today, she held Bi Yue's hand and cried, her nose and tears streaming down her face:
"Good girl. We have no shortage of capable people in our family, but no one is available when I order them around. No one has ever been this considerate to me."
For the past two years, I have been thinking about coming back to see your aunt and grandma. They all know my wish, but they all pretend to be confused!
I only have one sister, and she was sent away from Kyoto because she was wronged. That is a knot in my heart.
It was you who made grandma's dream come true."
Bi Yue took a towel and wiped the old lady's face: "Blow your nose hard."
Mrs. Chu burst into laughter all of a sudden: "I'm not a child."
"Don't you think you're not a child? You're crying so early in the morning, and today is your thirties. How awful! Besides, why are you crying? If you want to come back later, I'll bring you back."
"Okay. Then we have a deal. I'm just crying tears of joy, so if I don't bring bad luck, it won't count."
"Oh, you can even say you're crying tears of joy, Grandma?"
"Ai!"
Bi Yue gave a thumbs up: "Really cultured."
Mrs. Chu immediately covered her face with her hands and smiled awkwardly. Bi Yue was stunned. She actually had this expression? It was really new.
The sound of firecrackers crackling rang out.
The aroma of various dishes seemed to be coming out of the Bi family's chimney.
On the hill behind the mountain...
Bi Yue wore a black coat and Bi Cheng wore a long black leather jacket. They paid tribute to their grandparents' graves together.
Bi Cheng's lips kept moving as he told his grandparents everything that had happened to them.
When going down the mountain, Bi Yue suddenly remembered the pair of leather shoes she bought when her grandfather died, and she hummed:
Wearing the big-toed leather shoes reminded me of my grandfather, who walked through snowy mountains and grasslands and stepped on the bellies of enemies. This pair of big-toed leather shoes was passed down to my father, who was fearless and brave enough to move forward.
"Sister, what song is this? Why haven't I heard it before?"
"I'll teach you. Dark, think about our ancestors, dark, revolutionary traditions cannot be changed. Grandpa is an old Red Army soldier, I sing a ballad for him, dedicating my whole heart to him..."
When Bi Sheng ran over to look for his brother and sister to go home, what he saw were two pairs of hands in leather gloves holding snowballs and having a snowball fight.
