Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 258 The Lingering Separation
Xiao Xiaoxiao's grandparents, aunt and aunt asked Wang Yiyuan a lot of things, including his hometown and family situation, education, and work in Shanghai, etc.Wang Yiyuan smiled and answered one by one.

The question and answer went smoothly. The main reason was that Xie Dong and his wife first played the role of introducer, the so-called matchmaker.Because of some language barriers, many of the questions were actually answered by Zhu Xuying.

Another reason lies in the help of Zhu Xuying's mother.Zhu Xuying's mother had met Wang Yiyuan several times before, and she still had a good impression of Wang Yiyuan.With the mediation of their mother and daughter, Wang Yiyuan quickly integrated into the big circle of Xiao Xiaoxiao's family, and became acquainted with everyone in a short time.

Xiaoxiao’s grandparents met Wang Yiyuan for the first time, but they had heard some things about him before, especially knowing that he played a big role in last year’s factory accident and rectification, so this time they seemed to be He must be quite satisfied with Wang Yiyuan.

After talking and laughing for a while, grandma smiled and said, Mother Xiaoxiao, and her elder and second aunts, you take Xiaoxiao and Xiao Wang to hang the calamus, mugwort leaves, and the portrait of Zhong Kui at the gate. .

Xiao Xiaoxiao and Wang Yiyuan went to the next room to get the things they had prepared long ago, followed the adults, and went to the door to post and hang them.

Wang Yiyuan first hung a large handful of fresh mugwort calamus on the height of the gate.Xiaoxiao's mother clasped her hands together, murmured words, chanted brokenly, big insects stepped on the evil, small insects suppressed the medicine, there was medicine in her hand, and she sprinkled it with the handle.

Hanging mugwort leaves and calamus on the door is a common Dragon Boat Festival custom, and Wang Yiyuan also understands it.He just didn't quite understand the portrait of Zhong Kui posted on the gate.

Wang Yiyuan tore off the double-sided adhesive paper behind the portrait, and asked Xiaoxiao why he wanted to hang this portrait of Zhong Kui?
Xiaoxiao's mother heard it, and said with a smile, the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival of the country, and it is also a festival to drive out plagues in summer. In the old days, May was commonly known as the poisonous moon.Calamus has a strong fragrance and can be used as medicine. It is called "Shui Jian". Toxic gas.

She said, as for Zhong Kui, he is a great celestial master who kills five poisons and catches little ghosts.Among the folks in Zhenjiang here, there is a custom of hanging a statue of Zhong Kui on the Dragon Boat Festival, which is used to drive away evil spirits in town houses, symbolizing the expulsion of ghosts and keeping the family safe.

Wang Yiyuan asked again, shouldn't these things have been hung up a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival?
The aunt smiled and said, hehe, we are just waiting for you.Waiting for you to come and fulfill it with Xiaoxiao, so that the wish is the best.

Xiao Xiaoxiao blushed, leaned over to Wang Yiyuan and whispered in Wang Yiyuan's ear, this is the first time our Zhenjiang son-in-law comes to visit, is it good?If Maojiao doesn't pass, maybe he won't get this kind of treatment, you know?

Xiaoxiao's mother and two aunts smiled at Wang Yiyuan and said, hehe, Xiao Wang, what Xiaoxiao said is correct.

After finishing this, he sat in the room for a while, and Wang Yiyuan whispered a few words into the ear of Xiao Xiaoxiao who was sitting next to him.Xiao Xiaoxiao stood up, walked over to her mother, and said something softly.

Xiaoxiao's mother looked at Wang Yiyuan, nodded, and then greeted her grandparents and said that she would leave for a while.

All three stood up, and Xiao Xiaoxiao led the way to the innermost house on the first floor.What Wang Yiyuan meant was that he wanted to visit Xiao Xiaoxiao's father.

Pushing open the door, I saw a large bed in the middle, surrounded by many rehabilitation equipment, and a set of oxygen inhalation equipment and oxygen cylinders.Xiaoxiao's father was reclining on the bed motionless.

In fact, there was sunlight coming in from the window, which happened to be shining on the white quilt on the bed.

Wang Yiyuan took a closer look, and was suddenly surprised to find that Xiaoxiao's father's face was much paler than the last time he saw him.Perhaps it may also be the reason why he has been bedridden for most of the year. There is basically not much blood on his face, and he can even see the intertwined and complicated blue blood vessels.

Xiao Xiaoxiao's mother leaned down, raised his pillow a little higher, leaned down, and whispered next to his ear, "Old Xiao, Xiaoxiao brought his boyfriend to see you coming."

Xiaoxiao's father didn't react at all. He didn't seem to shake his head until he said it for the third time, and his eyes seemed to move slightly under the eyelids, but he still couldn't open them in the end.

Xiao Xiaoxiao walked over gently, and immediately knelt down in front of the bed.She held her father's pale palm, stroked it lightly, and whispered, "Dad, Wang Yiyuan saw you coming."

Xiao Xiaoxiao called three times in a row. Surprisingly, Xiaoxiao's father responded this time. Tears flowed from his eyes, and he seemed to nod slightly.

Xiao Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise, Dad, Dad, I can feel the strength in your palm.She burst into tears of joy, let go of her hand, covered her whole body in the quilt, hugged her father and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xiao Xiaoxiao's mother quickly held Xiaoxiao's father's other palm, feeling it with her heart.At this time, Xiaoxiao's father shed more tears.After a while, Xiaoxiao's mother squatted down, rubbed Xiaoxiao's father's palms and arms, and cried loudly.

In this situation, Wang Yiyuan's throat became dry, his eyes became moist, and tears fell down uncontrollably.

Walking to Xiao Xiaoxiao's side, Wang Yiyuan bent down to look at Xiaoxiao's father, Xiaoxiao's mother and Xiaoxiao.From the cries of their mother and daughter, he could truly feel the joy and surprise of Xiao Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter, as well as their inner worries and fears.

Wang Yiyuan suddenly remembered when his parents passed away, when he received the news, he was heartbroken, and he still couldn't accept the objective fact that they left one after another for a long time.Those scenes reappeared clearly in my mind again. After so many years, when I think about it now, I can still vividly remember it.

For himself, Xiao Xiaoxiao's father, and Xiao Xiaoxiao's family, Wang Yiyuan couldn't help but burst into tears.

Wang Yiyuan suddenly felt that when a loved one leaves, you may think that crying is the most painful. In fact, if you can cry, the pain has been dispersed, and what is more painful is that the tears flow into your heart.Maybe you think that tears are the most painful when you hold them in your heart. In fact, it is even more difficult to bear the heart without knowing where to put it.

More insurmountable than all of this is the regret in our hearts, which lingers for a long time and is even more hopeless.Because, perhaps, we are not afraid of death, but of separation.
