Chapter 194 Spring Breeze Sends Sadness
Chapter 194 Spring Breeze Sends Sadness
An Yue entered the kitchen and saw her wiping the stove with a rag.
When Chunzhi saw An Yue walk into the kitchen, she quickly put down the rag, walked up to her and helped her pick and wash vegetables.
"Miss, the water in the pot is hot."
"Okay, let's go ask grandpa and uncle to take a shower." An Yue stood up and walked out of the kitchen.
After washing his hands, my uncle Jiang Chenghai went to the main hall to drink water, while my grandfather sat alone in the small courtyard, smoking a pipe and seemed a little distracted.
During the Qingming Festival, the spring breeze and setting sun convey grief.
An Yue looked at her grandfather's solemn back and couldn't bear to go forward to disturb him, so she turned and walked towards the main hall.
"Uncle, the water for the shower is already hot, go take a shower first!"
After hearing this, Jiang Chenghai immediately stood up and walked into the kitchen with An Yue. He picked up a bucket of hot water and went to the toilet to take a shower.
After changing his clothes, An Nian went to the main hall to wipe the table and set the dishes. Chunzhi brought the food and placed it on the eight-immortal table.
After An Yue returned to the kitchen, she blanched the spinach and then made a dish of stir-fried spinach.
It was almost dusk and dinner was ready.
Everyone began to sit on the benches one after another to prepare for dinner.
......
After dinner, Chunzhi was responsible for cleaning up and washing the dishes.
Grandfather and uncle were planting rice in the paddy fields and were already exhausted with backaches, so Anyue put them in Anyan's room to rest.
The father and son lay in bed for a while and then fell into a deep sleep.
And An Nian had no choice but to sleep with An Yue for the time being.
Day two.
Just as planned, An Yue and Chun Zhi went to the paddy field to plant rice. The four of them walked back and forth in the paddy field, bending over to plant rice.
With the help of my grandfather and uncle for two consecutive days, the seedlings in the two acres of paddy fields were planted early.
When I got home after finishing the work, it was still early.
Grandfather and uncle began to pack up and prepare to return to the Jiang family. An Yue recalled that grandfather was sitting alone in the yard last night.
So, An Yue said to them: "Grandfather, uncle, do you want to go talk to my mother?"
When grandpa heard what An Yue said, his expression suddenly paused, he raised his head and sighed, then said "hmm".
An Yue turned to Chunzhi and said, "Chunzhi, you stay home and look after the chicks. We'll be back soon."
Haruji responded, "Yes, Miss."
Afterwards, An Yue went to her room, took the paper money she had bought not long ago, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren walked up the hillside.
Along the way, An Yue led the way and walked in front, and none of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren spoke.
When we arrived at the small hill, we could see the conspicuous large mound from afar.
An Yue walked to the grave, placed paper money on the ground, and slowly knelt down.
Grandfather tacitly handed the fire starter to An Yue, who lit the paper money. The flames kept licking the paper money, and wisps of green smoke rose in front of the grave.
My grandfather squatted aside, burning paper silently, without saying a word or shedding a tear.
An Yue knew that at this moment, her grandfather was just trying his best to remain calm, but the "heart-wrenching" pain on his face was hard to hide.
For a moment, the only sounds on the entire hillside were the rustling of the wind through the trees and the crackling of the flames.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren stared at the huge pile of earth in front of them, their eyes filled with sadness.
Uncle Jiang Chenghai said with a heavy expression: "Sister, Ah Hai will take good care of Dad and Mom, you can rest assured over there!"
An Yue whispered softly: "Daddy, Mommy, Yueyue is here to visit you again."
Uncle Jiang Chenghai patted An Yue's shoulder gently to comfort her.
An Yue raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. She took a deep breath and tried hard to stop the tears.
After the worship was over, An Yue and Jiang Chenghai slowly stood up, and the uncle and nephew left first tacitly, leaving the grandfather standing alone in front of the grave.
He stared at the grave quietly by himself. After the uncle and nephew walked away, the grandfather finally spoke.
“Pan’er, your mother and I are doing fine. Your two children are now…” At this moment, grandfather Jiang Wuwen could no longer suppress his inner emotions, and his face was full of wrinkles that looked like a tangled mess.
Less than a year after the old couple learned that Jiang Pan'er and An Tianshun had passed away, they had aged visibly.
He stayed alone in front of the grave for a long time before his grandfather calmed down and slowly left the hill, ready to meet up with the uncle and nephew.
He walked down the mountain, his mind still full of thoughts. He couldn't help but think of every detail of his daughter's life from childhood to adulthood.
Jiang Chenghai saw his father Jiang Wuwen coming down the hill and hurried forward to support him: "Dad, are you okay?"
Jiang Wuwen shook his head and said, "It's okay."
Uncle Jiang Chenghai turned to An Yue and said, "Yueyue, after we go back, your grandfather and I will prepare to return to the Jiang family."
"Grandpa and uncle have worked so hard for Yueyue for so long, why don't they stay with Yueyue for a few days!" An Yue said reluctantly.
"We have to plant a lot of sweet potatoes these days, and your grandmother can't be too tired. Your aunt is still pregnant, so it's not convenient for us to stay longer." Uncle Jiang Chenghai said as he supported his father.
An Yue had no choice but to nod: "Okay, Yueyue won't stay any longer."
Then, she turned around and said to her grandfather, "Grandfather, you have to take care of yourself. We are all very sad that Daddy and Mommy left, but right now, the health of you and Grandma is the top priority."
Along the way, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were in a very heavy mood and didn't say much to each other.
After a while, they returned home.
Grandfather Jiang Wuwen and uncle Jiang Chenghai took a short rest and then prepared to leave with their luggage.
An Yue sent them to the side of the road, her eyes full of reluctance.
"Yueyue, be careful about everything and take good care of yourself and Nian Nian. If you have any problems, come to the Jiang family to find me and your grandmother." Grandfather instructed.
An Yue nodded and said, "Yue Yue knows."
Jiang Chenghai rubbed An Yue's forehead and said, "If anyone bullies you, you have to come to your uncle. I will beat them to a pulp."
An Yue opened her uncle Jiang Chenghai's hand, pouted and smiled, "Okay, okay, my uncle is the best!"
After saying this, the father and son turned and left.
An Yue looked at their backs as they walked away, and finally couldn't hold back her tears.
Only after they walked away did An Yue turn around and walk back.
When she got home, she started preparing things to take to town tomorrow.
She planned to take Haruji with her to town.
The first thing to do was to pack the ingredients to be sent to Wanfulou, and then put the Ophiopogon japonicus that had been dug and dried earlier into the backpack.
She planned to take the Ophiopogon japonicus to the Jirentang Pharmacy to exchange it for money, and chat with Uncle Zhang and his wife about family matters, and then go to the firecracker shop to find Uncle Lin to inquire about when Uncle Lin Hua would return.
An Yue was packing things to take to town, while Chunzhi was cooking dinner in the kitchen.
After a while, An Nian came back.
