Chapter 164: pay homage
Chapter 164 Memorial
Some people in this world will not be forgotten. Some people die, but the people who remember him still exist, so his shadow can still stay in this world all the time, so there is a saying of the Qingming Festival.
Today is a special day for the Quan family. Every year on this day, the Quan family will gather together, and even Quan Feng will find a way to come back without interruption.
The old man got up early and put on dark clothes. When he came downstairs, he was full of energy. Su Luoying took the packaged pastries from the kitchen and looked at Lu upstairs. For the people who followed, Quan Yulin rarely changed into a black suit and black pants. Quan Jingchen was behind her, still wearing a dark suit.
"It's all down, Yulin, call Jing Ting to see if he's back?" Su Luoying shouted.
"Well, but he is probably busy these two days." Quan Yulin said.
The old man sat on the sofa energetically, watching Quan Yulin holding the phone and snorted, "Tell him, he has to get over today, if he really wants to be with that girl from the Qing family, he has to go with you today Grandpa Qing and Bao Bao talked about it nicely, otherwise it would be treachery."
Quan Yulin nodded vaguely, Grandpa was really unreasonable sometimes.
The phone rang, but the sound came from the door. The family looked along the door and saw Quan Jingting who walked in. He was wearing a military uniform, with a hat in his hand, and white gloves were particularly eye-catching.
Quan Yulin's eyes full of little stars, come on, the temptation is subdued.
"I'm back." Su Luoying looked at him and smiled.
Quan Yulin hung up the phone in her hand and sat aside, taking what Su Luoying handed over.
"It's almost time to leave. The weather is bad today and it's cold outside. Grandpa will come back early." Su Luoying ordered.
The old man slowly got up and sighed, "It's just a little cold, I can still hold it, let's go, go earlier and talk with your grandfather Qing for a while."
Quan Yulin leaned in front of Quan Jingting, raised her face and smiled, "Why don't you bring Qingyu along and let the baby see her."
If the baby was still alive, he would be the same age as Qingyu at the moment, and Qingyu is also the baby's cousin. The two could almost be said to be born in the same year, but Qingyu was a few months older. time.
Shouldn't you take the past and tell the baby about his empathy?
"It's not the time yet, wait until there is a stroke of the character, and take her there." The old man instructed.
Quan Jingting said nothing, glanced sideways, but didn't see Su Ke. Originally, Su Ke and Quan Jingchen had made a marriage agreement, and they should almost take her to the Quan family's activities. Today is from Qing Jianguo. The anniversary of the death was also the anniversary of the death of the Qing master and Liu Ye. Why didn't the master call anyone over.
It seems that it is somewhat taboo.
"Go, have you bought the flowers you bought?" Su Luoying looked at Quan Jingting.
"Bought it, in the car."
"That's good, your Aunt Liu likes lilies the most, but you can't forget it." Su Luoying said and picked up all the things she had prepared, "Let's go first, Quan Feng said that it was directly from the state affairs side. In the past, let us not wait for him."
The family got into the car and went to the cemetery. The place where the Qing family was buried is a cemetery in the east of the city. This cemetery has been around for many years. The people from the family are buried here, and they come here twice a year, almost unstoppable. After the old man retired, he has nothing to do. When a person has something he can't figure out, he will come over to talk to his brother.
At this moment, the evergreen in the cemetery is still full of lush greenery. The most sad thing for the old man is that the Qing family could not be buried in the cemetery of the martyrs. When Qing Jianguo died, he had stains on his body, so he could not enter the cemetery of the martyrs. They thought that the old man might want to accompany him. With his son and his family together, they were buried in this place, a quiet and simple place.
The cemetery is built on a mountain, so from the gate, he has been climbing the steps, just like climbing a mountain for fitness, Quan Feng helped the old man to go up step by step, Su Luoying held Lily and Quan Yu Lin walked ahead together.
The weather is very cold today. In this kind of weather, it is still cold even when you are exercising in the mountains. Slowly, it is almost winter.
Quan Jingchen and Quan Jingchen walked side by side behind the father and mother. The two brothers were originally taciturn people, but after living for so many years, they were more or less concerned about each other's affairs.
"Are you really going to marry Qingyu?" Quan Jingchen looked at his brother and said.
Quan Jingting moved the glove on his hand, "Well."
The expected answer, Quan Jingchen also knows that Jing Ting has been stubborn since he was a child, and his temperament is like that. , This situation improved slightly after he joined the army, but the things in this person's bones can't be changed, and this time to establish a relationship with Qingyu has already shown his attitude.
"What about you, do you really want to marry Su Ke?" Quan Jingting looked at him.
"The wedding has been set."
"You know who Su Pingbang is, do you really want to swim in this muddy water? Su Ke may be different from her father, but she can't decide that she will not protect her father."
"I marry anyone the same, but I just need a reasonable wife." Quan Jingchen didn't care.
He is also old, and the family has been thinking about it for so many years. The old man has urged him a few times, and he has also had a few blind dates. He is just hanging on as a routine, but this year is 32 years old. If he doesn't get married, the old man estimates All can be **** off.
He and Su Ke are also college classmates, and they know each other well. Su Ke knows the overall situation and the importance of it. As long as he is sensible, he can be his wife. Emotions are a luxury for him.
Maybe he and Quan Jingting are stubborn people, but they are different. Quan Jingting has not met anyone who is tempted for so many years.
But he is different, he is the son of a powerful family, and many things need to be considered.
"The water in the Su's house is indeed not clear, but it's not a good place to clean the house." Quan Jingchen looked at him and said.
For people like them, pillow people are never easy.
"Brother, what are you two talking about?" Quan Yulin turned to look at the two of them, and rushed over to hug Quan Jingchen's arm.
"Just walk well, don't be out of tune all the time." Quan Jingchen reprimanded, but did not pull her away from him.
"I just heard Su Ke's name, what are you two going to do about the wedding?"
"The wedding has already been decided, so you don't have to worry about it." Quan Jingchen looked at her and said, "You should worry about yourself. Have you gone on the blind date that Mom arranged for you? Are you satisfied?"
Quan Jingting stepped forward and walked side by side with the old man. His black military boots stepped on the stone road and walked up slowly. Behind him, Quan Yulin pestered Quan Jingchen and asked questions.
Quan Jingchen answered her patiently, answering word by word, even when dealing with Su Ke, he didn't have the patience.
The Qing family was almost at the top of the mountain. After walking for a while, Quan Jingting saw the person standing in front of the tomb over there. From the back, he squinted.
Noticing his expression, Su Luoying looked up and saw Qing Jianye and his wife standing in front of the tomb, and Mr. Qingshui. He was leaning on crutches and stood in front of the tombstone with his back to them, as if he was saying something.
Quan Yulin also noticed that the Qing family seemed to have never met each other when they came over every year. It was Mr. Quan who collected the bones for the Qingfeng family back then. The Qing family seemed to have lost contact since then. He also said that apart from their family, no one would come here every year, which proved that Shimizu had never come to see his own brother for so many years.
What happened today, the whole family came over, only Qingyu and Qingyan didn't come.
Zhang Xue turned around and saw the Quan family who came over, and subconsciously tidied up her clothes. After all, her status was now there, so she couldn't lose her courtesy.
"Your Excellency, Madam." Qing Jianye greeted first.
Quan Feng and Su Luoying nodded slightly, which was considered a response. The old man Quan on the side looked at Qingshui. The two of them hadn't seen each other for more than 20 years. I didn't expect that Qingshui was already using crutches.
is really not forgiving of time.
"Uncle Qing, Aunt Qing, how are you." Quan Yulin greeted politely.
But the men behind her wouldn't say hello to others so easily. Quan Jingting and Quan Jingchen have similar temperaments, and they will never open their mouths to people they don't like.
"Yu Lin was beautiful when she was a child, and became even more beautiful when she grew up." Zhang Xue praised.
"Uncle and aunt." The two brothers from the Quan family called out with no emotion at all.
Old Master Qing glanced at Quan Nian opposite him, and moved on crutches, "Brother Quan, we haven't seen each other for many years."
The old man took the flowers from Su Luoying's hand, walked to the tombstone and squatted down, pushing the bouquets they brought to the side, "This old guy never likes flowers, even if he wants, he won't like such bright ones. Liu Ye likes lilies, not white roses, since she decides to come, she has to come with a little sincerity."
Quan Nian's words were like a slap in the face of the Qing family. Zhang Xue stomped her feet secretly. When did she know what Liu Ye liked, she was already lying here, and this person can't be seen, so there is no point in buying it.
"Brother Quan is still the same, I like to be more serious." Shimizu's expression did not change, as if he was unmoved by his sarcasm.
Su Luoying stepped forward and placed the snacks in front of the tombstone one by one. She took a handkerchief and wiped the dust on it. Seeing that the white handkerchief was covered with dust, she remained silent. He lowered his head and changed the water.
"Mom, I'll help you." Quan Yulin squatted on the ground as she said.
In fact, her attitude towards the Qing family is also very vague. She doesn't like the Qing family, but she likes Qing Yu. She came all the way to sweep the tomb without dusting the dust on the tombstone on her face, which makes people really doubt that they What are you doing here?
Qingshui watched their actions. The Quan family members have come to visit the tomb without interruption for so many years. If they hadn't come here, they would have really found no reason to connect with them.
Thinking of this, he looked at Quan Jingting next to him, "Isn't Jingting with Yu'er this time, why didn't he bring her here today?"
"What are you doing with her here? It's not right. It's not the right time. After all, Jing Ting's real fiancée is still lying here." The old man wiped the tombstone for Qingfeng and spoke.
Qing Jianye's complexion changed, as did Zhang Xue, Mr. Quan really did not shy away from speaking.
Originally thought that Quan Jingting likes Qingyu so much, and he should refute it, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see a man say a word to refute his grandfather, Qing who thinks that he is meaningless here.
"It's a rare encounter, let's go have a meal together." Shimizu suggested, "Brother Quan, we haven't seen each other for many years."
"Yes, yes, the matter between Jing Ting and Qingyu has been settled, we haven't eaten together yet." Zhang Xue echoed.
Su Luoying raised her head and responded in a decent manner, "The children's affairs have not been settled yet. If the matter is really settled at that time, it should be handled by us in the south. You don't have to worry."
Zhang Xue's face changed. Isn't this a way of saying that their wife is not reserved.
The two families have not been in contact for more than 20 years, and they just saw it like this.
Standing like this is not a problem. Seeing Quan Nian's attitude, Shimizu also knew what the other party was thinking.
"I'm busy with work, and I have to go back to the National Academy in a while, so let's choose a new time for dinner. You decide, if we will be a family in the future, our juniors will naturally have a meal with you. Quan Feng looked at Qingshui, his whole body was soft, and he didn't put on any air at all.
The Quan family had a strict family education since childhood, and they treated people with generosity. First of all, they should be polite. The Quan Feng couple had their identities there, of course, they had a tolerance for people. Compared with Zhang Xue, their demeanor and self-cultivation were not of the same class.
"Since Your Excellency has said so, it is not convenient for us to harass. Brother Quan, I will come to visit tomorrow. We haven't seen each other for so many years, so we should have a good chat." Qingshui looked at Quan Nian and said.
"Oh, we two have nothing to say, we will meet when we meet."
Quan Yulin knew that Grandpa's temperament was unwilling to pay attention to him, so she stepped forward and smoothed out, "Grandpa Qing, be careful and pay more attention to your body."
"Let's go first, Your Excellency, Madam." Qing Jianye said to Quan Feng and his wife.
"Slow walk without sending."
Zhang Xue and Qing Jianye supported the old man and walked slowly down. Qingshui turned blue when Quan Nian said rudely, but it was not easy to attack. Today is different from the past, and everything has to be endured. .
Quan Yulin turned her back to the Quan family and watched the Qing family of three leave. She muttered to herself. She used to think that when Qingming went to the grave, Qingshui was unwilling to come over and put incense on her brother. Qing's face.
After all, a family like the Qing family is a wealthy family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is very important to look at the face. The name of collaborating with the enemy and treason on the back is indeed a big impact, so Qingshui has not come out for so many years, but no matter what, This breeze is his own brother, and it is very strange that he can endure not to visit the grave for so many years.
But she came here at this time. She didn't believe it when she said she didn't come to see them on purpose.
"Dad, your legs are not good, so don't squat for so long." Su Luoying opened her mouth.
The old man carefully wiped the tombstone clean and was helped by Quan Jingchen to get up. The old man's mood became a lot lower because of the arrival of the Qing family, which Quan Yulin could feel.
"Come here and talk to the baby, you have found your daughter-in-law again, so don't tell her." The old man looked at the tombstone next to Liu Ye and said.
There are no photos on the monument, only a series of inscriptions, the birthday and death date, both in the same year.
Quan Jingting walked over, and a tall figure crouched in front of the tombstone. The marriage that grandfather set for him at the time was only four years old and he was young, but he could still remember the day when grandpa took him to Qing's house. scene.
The little baby wrapped in a pink swaddle, carved in pink and jade, looked at him with silly eyes, Liu Ye was born just fine, and her daughter was born with all the advantages of the Qing Jianguo couple, and she was born beautifully Very, many people say that this girl must be amazing when she grows up.
Mr. Quan stood proudly in the living room at that time, pointing to the infant and smilingly saying that it was his granddaughter-in-law.
The old man took him to look at the little girl, and said solemnly in his ear, Jing Ting, this is your daughter-in-law, you have to protect her well and don't let anyone bully her.
At that time, Quan Jingting was still a four-year-old child. Looking at the baby's pink appearance, he slowly stretched out his hand. As soon as his fingertips touched her face, he was held in the palm of his palm by the baby's soft hands. .
Soft and weak, he wanted to pull him back, but the baby held him back, she opened her eyes, her black pupils showed the purity of a newborn baby and her pure consideration of the world, she stared at him After a while, he burst out laughing, and even sprayed saliva on his face.
Liu Ye held the teacup and said with a smile, it seems that the baby likes you very much, Jing Ting will definitely love her in the future.
Quan Jingting took the veil from Zhang Xue's hand and wiped the tombstone carefully. The most regrettable thing was that the fire destroyed the entire Qing family villa. Not a single photo of the baby was left, and the Quan family did not have her photo. .
"Hey, if the baby is still alive now, you two are probably married, and I have even embraced my great-grandson now." The old man sighed.
Quan Jingting squatted in front of the tombstone, staring at the tombstone, the corner of his mouth raised, and he slowly hooked, but there was a deep smile in his eyes.
"If possible, I really don't want you to like that girl, not at all." The old man sighed.
The Qing family is really eager for quick success this time. In fact, grandpa's prejudice against Qingyu is because she is Qing Jianye's daughter and Qingshui's granddaughter, and the rest is fine.
But today, I met so suddenly, which made the discomfort in my grandfather's heart even more magnified. I haven't seen my brother for so many years, so I came here with a utilitarian purpose. How could the old man be comfortable? .
This is to remind the old man of those unhappy pasts.
"Fate has arrived, and it can't be stopped. Jing Ting and the Qing family are really destined, otherwise they wouldn't be together with Qing Yu." Su Luoying said.
Quan Jingting withdrew the hand that wiped the tombstone, his fingertips fell on the inscription, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said a meaningful sentence, "Yes, it is indeed fate."
It was rare to hear Quan Jingting say such a thing, Su Luoying was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Jing Ting also admitted that no, Dad, you also said that the child is innocent in many things, at that time Qingyu and Baobao were about the same age. , what can she know."
You can't always put your anger on your child.
"I heard that Xiao Lin is gone, this imperial capital is getting more and more chaotic." The old man sighed.
At the beginning, Xiao Lin and Qing Jianguo were also good friends, and I heard Qing Jianguo mentioned the name Xiao Lin, but I didn't expect it would be like this. .
"The prosecutor's office is still following up on Xiao Lin's case. I will hold a meeting in the afternoon to ask questions. Although there are no people, the case will always be investigated clearly. The public is still waiting for an explanation. This matter must be notarized. ." Quan Feng said.
The influence of this matter is very big, so naturally he is not clear, and because of Xiao Lin's suicide, Quan Feng put the case on the table and ordered the prosecution to give a result.
"Old guy, it's almost time for me to find you. Then we will play another game of chess." The old man looked at the picture of Qingfeng and said.
"It's almost there, Dad, it's time to go, it's windy and cold in the mountains, and your legs and feet will hurt again in a while." Su Luoying opened her mouth and said.
Quan Jingting got up and looked at the small tombstone, Quan Yulin stood behind him, looking at him with something wrong.
"What did you and the baby say?"
"Let's go, it's time to go back."
Quan Yulin rolled her eyes, this nasty bastard, if he just said a word, he would kill people, so he didn't want to pay attention to her.
"Let's go." Quan Jingchen helped the old man down the mountain step by step.
"Grandpa, I'm a little curious about why you didn't arrange a marriage for my eldest brother, otherwise he wouldn't be single for so many years." Quan Yulin cried.
"Did you want to ask why I didn't book a course for you? Otherwise, you girl wouldn't be so relaxed now."
"How can there be any."
"Your eldest brother has his own considerations. Engagement was quite fashionable at that time, but we were also afraid of what he would do if he didn't like other girls when he grew up. Jing Ting's side is different. At that time, the baby stopped crying when he saw him. , and laughed very happily, that's why we decided on this marriage." The old man responded.
So I only care if other girls like Quan Jingting, and don't care if Quan Jingting likes them anymore.
Su Luoying turned around and looked at her, yes, that little baby was born so beautiful at that time, crying, laughing and laughing didn't know how many people's minds were moved. head off.
Concubine Wen returned to the cake shop with the flowers given by Qingyu. As soon as she saw her back, Xiong Ni in the baking room ran out at once, holding a cream gun in her hand and a bear pattern on her body. The apron looks very cute.
"How is it, have you delivered it?"
"I delivered it, and she said it was delicious. By the way, I asked her to go to the hot spring on Saturday to see if there are any scars on her body."
Xiong Ni almost stopped cheering. This relationship with Qingyu is getting closer and closer. Just by looking at her body with the same scars as the boss, you can almost determine whether she is the boss.
"Last night, I answered Naya's call. The little girl said she was coming to Dijing. I let the black cat watch her. If she came to toss now, it wouldn't be a mess. If she calls you Don't take it." Concubine Wen said after sorting out the change in the cash register.
Xiong Ni scorned her eyes. With such a small amount of money, it's not worth tens of millions of dollars for a random mission at the base.
"Don't let her come over, the commander said that Quan Jingting has seen Naya, or when he was in country H, and they also know that Naya is from IE. Isn't she here to cause us trouble. "Xiong Ni was holding the cream gun and almost didn't jump up.
This is Tong Quan Jingting who explained their identities.
"Do you think I'm as stupid as you?" Concubine Wen glanced at her, "Naya isn't a fool either, even if she left the black cat and came to Dijing, she knew that the two of us were on a mission and wouldn't mess around. Our plan, although she is a little noisy at times, but after all, she is someone who has been brought by the boss, and she is smart and clever."
"Cut, that's what you thought." Xiong Ni rolled her eyes.
Naya's turbulent energy is recognized by the entire base. Except for the boss's words, she also listens to Concubine Wen. Both of them are not at the base at the moment. I am afraid that no one can control her. I don't know when. I ran to Dijing.
Wherever this girl goes, it represents absolute trouble, not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"I just saw that the flower shop next door is hiring hourly workers."
Xiong Ni put down the things in her hand and came over, "Really? Let the black cat arrange for someone to come over."
If more than one person can get close to Qingyu, they will have more confidence. If they can be sure that she is not the boss, they can retreat. She is still used to the life of bullets on the battlefield. She lives in this shop every day. It won't last long either.
A pair of murderous hands bake cakes every day, she's going crazy, and she doesn't make all these delicious cakes in this store, they are all bought from outside, how can she know these things.
"No, it's a fluke for the two of us to pass Quan Jingting's level. Now that there is one more person, the danger will be even greater, and the probability of being found out by Quan Jingting will be even greater."
So still can't take this risk.
Xiong Ni sat down with her head lowered. She searched the house last night and found nothing. How long will it be like this? She doesn't want to live like this.
"Why don't we knock people out and take them back, didn't she lose her memory? Send a message to Jue Island, saying that we asked Lu Ming and the ghost doctor to come and have a look. Based on the friendship between the boss and Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li I definitely agree, I don't believe that these two can't cure her head, as long as she remembers, isn't our boss determined?" Xiong Ni opened her mouth happily.
This is also a good way. The ghost doctor and Zhang Ming are notoriously powerful. I heard that Dang Li’s family was rescued by them, but they lost their memory, so they can definitely be rescued.
Concubine Wen closed the cashier's cabinet and turned around like an idiot, "Stun her and take her back? Not to mention whether we can escape Quan Jingting's investigation and take people out of country M, and secondly, if her memory is restored, it is certain The record is the boss, can you afford it?"
The boss's temperament will be reported. If you hammer her, she can **** your entire hand. It is basically impossible to beat her.
Besides, this country M is a forbidden place for mercenaries. It is famous for its absolute protection of its citizens. It is basically impossible to take their citizens away from the territory of country M, because they can stop at nothing. Chasing you for the price.
In addition, the person around Qingyu who is always with him is Quan Jingting, who is that, Yan Ye Yanluo, he will not allow others to be presumptuous by his side, so it is even more difficult.
Xiong Ni trembled, but still didn't dare. Qingyu and the boss looked exactly the same, although the temperament on her body was not so similar, but she felt awe-inspiring just by looking at that face.
Every time she faced Qingyi's face, she felt like she had seen the boss, and she didn't dare to make trouble.
"But the two of us can't just stay here, let's think of a way to remind her." Xiong Ni opened her mouth and said.
"As long as we have been to the hot springs, we have determined whether she has the same scar marks on her body as the boss. At that time, we will ask the headquarters for help and find a way to awaken her memory."
"Sure, I'll wait." Xiong Ni got up, ready to go back to her position and put on an appearance.
"Wait, I forgot to take this." Concubine Wen pointed to the cream gun on the table.
Xiong Ni's face changed, what's the matter, boss, boss, if it weren't for you, you'd be a dream come true, if it were you, could you not hit someone after she knocked them out and knocked them back revenge.
This cake is really not something that ordinary people can make. She still doesn't like going into the kitchen.
Concubine Wen had a plan in her heart. No matter what, the time could not wait. As long as she was sure that Qingyu was the boss, she would find a way to bring people back to the base.
As long as he remembers, this person will follow them.
