Chapter 93 Tomb Sweeping
Ching Ming Festival.
yin Yu Fei Fei.
Du Caige held an umbrella and stared at the tombstone in front of him speechlessly.
Du Ranqi wept silently and bent over to offer sacrifices to his father.
A bottle of rice wine, a plate of fried peanuts, a bowl of hot and freshly cooked quick-frozen dumplings.
Then she silently lit a transcript.
After the last embers were extinguished, she leaned back in Du Caige's arms.
It's like snuggling with my brother to keep warm in this harsh spring cold.
She has carefully combed a long braid today, and her temperament is very in line with her current age, beautiful and pure.
She has grown into a big girl, mature, but still keeps her kindness.
On the transcript she burned, Du Caige saw one high score after another.
Enough, enough.
If my father really knew about it, he must be relieved.
Du Caige's pitying gaze moved away from his sister's shoulder and landed on the tombstone.
The tomb of Yan's father, Du Zhiqiu, and his mother, Long Jiumei.
Du Zhiqiu reads: Birth and death 1952-2006
Long Jiumei reads: Birth and death 1960-
Du Shuang Du Caige
filial daughter Du Rongqi
Song Jia
Granddaughter Du Shuwen
Respectfully.
It turned out that his father's name was Du Zhiqiu and his mother's name was Long Jiumei.
After so long, Du Caige finally knew.
And the elder brother who is still in prison is called Du Shuang; the elder sister-in-law is called Song Jia, I don't know if they are divorced now.
And his niece is called Du Shuwen, nicknamed Wenwen, Du Ranqi once mentioned it.
Judging from the name "Shuwen", the eldest brother's aesthetics and three views are somewhat old-fashioned.
Of course, the name may also have been given to him by his father.
Above his father's name, there is a posthumous photo, the image is exactly the same as Du Caige's dream that time.
Du Caige had basically determined that the dream that time was by no means a mere dream, but activated the original owner's memory fragments.
But are there more fragments of memory? Du Caige is not sure yet.
There is no posthumous photo above the name of the mother, Long Jiumei, because she is still alive, and the following year is also blank.
Mr. Huo Yanying said to himself that he is the same age as his father and is 66 years old this year.
That's right.
As for her mother, Long Jiumei, she is 58 years old this year.
Father is also considered an old cow eating young grass.
And he is 34 years old.
In other words, her mother Long Jiumei gave birth to herself when she was 24 years old.
That eldest brother should be one or two years older than me. When my mother, Long Jiumei, gave birth to my eldest brother, she was not only in her teens, she was in her 20s.
Du Caige secretly wrote down this information.
"Okay, I've finished what I said to my father. Come back with me."
Du Qiqi looked up and looked at Du Caige with tears in her eyes: "No, you sing a song for Dad."
Du Caige hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I sing that song, 'Father', right?"
"En." Du Yanqi nodded heavily.
"I didn't bring a guitar."
"Just sing a cappella."
"All right."
Du Caige has nothing to be embarrassed about.
Although there are other grave sweepers nearby.
But singing a song by yourself will not affect others.
So Du Caige sang softly: "I always ask for you..."
Du Yanqi sobbed.
When Du Caige finished singing, she hugged Du Caige's waist, and the brother and sister slowly left...
...
Not long after the brothers and sisters Du Caige and Du Ruqi left, a Rolls-Royce Phantom drove into the cemetery.
After the car stopped, the driver in white gloves quickly got out of the car, came to the back row, and opened the door; a young woman got off the other side of the car,
He ran quickly, opened his umbrella and waited.
A beautifully shaped leg in black stockings stepped out.
Then there is a beautiful short black skirt with a very thin waist, and the upper body is a small black suit.
The other leg also stepped out, and the glamorous woman looked around, leaned down, and picked up a little girl carved in pink and jade from the car. The little girl held a few rolled up papers in her hand.
Just got out of the car, the little girl shuddered when the cold wind blew. She looked up at her mother, and the solemn atmosphere made her dare not speak.
The woman held the little girl's hand and nodded to the female assistant holding the umbrella: "Xiao Sun, you are waiting here."
"But Mr. Yan, it's raining. It's not good for children to get in the rain." Sun Yaling said.
Yan Yingzhen said lightly, "Give me the umbrella, you are waiting here."
Sun Yaling handed over the umbrella and got into the car by herself.
Yan Yingzhen held an umbrella in one hand and Caiwei in the other as she walked towards the depths of the cemetery.
Finally, she found Du Zhiqiu's tombstone and stood silently.
Little girl Caiwei looked up at her mother's face, and said in a milky voice, "Mom, why didn't Dad come to visit Grandpa's grave?"
"Your father has already been here." Yan Yingzhen said indifferently.
"Oh," Caiwei spread out the rolled paper, revealing the tender pictures on the paper, and crouched down in front of the tombstone, "I gave my pictures to Grandpa."
"Grandpa will like it," Yan Yingzhen patted her daughter's head, "What do you have to say to grandpa?"
Caiwei tilted her head and thought for a while, and said crisply, "Grandpa, you asked Dad to play with me a few more times. I'm not happy if he doesn't come to me."
"Grandpa, I'm in the first grade of elementary school. I know a lot of words now, and I can recite a lot of poems. I'm very good!"
"Mom said that I'm in elementary school and when I grow up, she will take me to see my grandma. My mother said that grandma is very fierce. Caiwei is very good. Grandpa, will you tell grandma not to be fierce to Caiwei?"
"Mom said I have a beautiful aunt, and I want my aunt to play with me, can you hear me, grandpa?" The little girl raised her head, looking up at her mother with her pink and lovely face, "Mom, grandpa can really listen when I talk. Are you there?"
Yan Yingzhen's eyes were wet, and she said softly, "I can definitely hear it."
...
On the way to take Du Ruoqi back to school, Xiao Nizi's mood improved a lot.
She said, "Brother, when are you going to see eldest brother? The eldest brother called me and complained that my eldest sister-in-law is living a very difficult life now, and she has no money to send him. Now he has no money to smoke."
Du Caige actually wanted to know why this eldest brother was imprisoned. He asked tentatively, "Why didn't he call me?"
"Knowingly asking," Du Rongqi rolled his eyes at him and said angrily, "the prison disciplinary police called you and asked if you could add your number as your eldest brother's family number, but you said no. You, and eldest brother. What's up with him? He's doing something wrong, but he's always been so impulsive, it's not the first day you know him."
Du Caige thought for a while, and then asked an ambiguous sentence that could be understood from multiple perspectives: "He doesn't necessarily want to see me, does he?"
Du Ruoqi wrinkled his cute nose: "Big brother is not the kind of person who is careful. It's been so long since you quarreled with him, he must have not taken it to heart."
Speaking of which, she looked up at Du Caige and said disgustedly, "You have a small mind, and you like to keep the little things in your heart."
Don't talk nonsense, I didn't, really not...
Du Caige sighed in his heart, knowing that it is impossible to always hide when he knows what should come. He deliberately said with a straight face, "I have lost my memory, I don't know him, and I don't want to see him."
Under Du Ruoqi's annoyed eyes, he continued: "But next time a prison officer asks me if I agree to let him add my number as a family number, I will agree. If he calls me, I will agree. Talk to him."
"Is that so..." Du Rongqi thought for a while, and felt that this was the only way to go for the time being.
After all, the eldest brother and the second brother have been incompatible since childhood. If one day there is no fight or quarrel, that is a rare thing.
Later, the second brother dropped out of school while he was in college, devoted himself to rock and roll, and went to form a band to play. My father hated the second brother. Every time they met, they quarreled. The eldest brother also had countless quarrels with the second brother.
Later, the second brother came out, as if he was enlightened overnight, he wrote classic songs in succession, became popular with several heavenly kings and queens, and became the top musician in the country.
With fame, status, and money in his pocket, he has never reconciled with his father and eldest brother.
Du Yanqi still remembers it to this day.
At that time, I was still young. Every time my second brother came home, he would buy himself a lot of toys, beautiful clothes and shoes.
The second brother would start arguing with his father and the eldest brother before they could say a few words. Then he would hide in the room and play with him, put himself on his lap and play the piano. He would also patiently answer all kinds of silly questions and teach himself music theory. , teach yourself to sing.
It was one of my happiest memories.
Later, when Wenwen was born, the second brother would tease and tease Wenwen, but he liked himself the most.
As for his father and eldest brother, the second brother has always been ignorant, and his attitude towards his mother is also very cold.
After his father left, the eldest brother impulsively wanted to avenge his father, and took the knife to cut down the soulless liar.
But the Hundan liar had already run away, and the eldest brother only found one of Hundan's little valet, slashed the other party, and was sentenced unexpectedly.
Although the second brother promised to take on all his father's debts before his father's death, he finally reconciled with his father.
But he was sneering at the big brother, and felt that the big brother had no brains.
Although he also paid for his eldest brother to hire a lawyer, and gave his sister-in-law and Wenwen a lot of living expenses, he never said a word to his eldest brother from beginning to end.
Hey.
Some of the things about the eldest brother and the second brother when they were young are not clear to me.
I just heard the second brother mention it occasionally, because he and the eldest brother are half-brothers, and the eldest brother likes to bully him by taking advantage of his physical strength since he was a child, so he and the eldest brother never get close.
The two of them have been arguing and quarreling for half their lives, and Du Qiqi doesn't expect them to be reconciled now.
As long as the second brother can agree to meet with the eldest brother, it is enough to send him some living expenses.
Half-brothers may not be friends, but at least they shouldn't be enemies.
Du Qiqi didn't talk about this topic anymore, but pestered Du Caige to ask him and Duan Tianhou's progress.
Du Caige was endlessly pestered, and only gave her the four-character mantra: "No comment."
Du Yanqi proudly gave him a roll of eyes.
Humph. What an amazing thing.
Sister Chen and I ate together like good sisters, went to the mall hand in hand, watched a movie, and took a lot of photo stickers with Sister Chen.
Since you refuse to share with me, I will never tell you these things.
