Thousands of years

chapter 93

Seeing that the festive atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival has become stronger and stronger, the mother and daughter who chose not to talk about the Hang Luo incident have to prepare some gifts and visit them when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes.

"Get dressed and go out quickly, don't wear those you go to work or something, and find two more suitable clothes to see your grandparents in two days."

He Yanqing sent An Ji a Wechat message in advance, agreeing to go out to the supermarket to buy some milk, moon cakes and other things for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so that An Ji was dragged to change clothes as soon as he entered the door.

"It's not cold yet, so don't wear too much, or you'll make yourself sick." Just as An Ji was pushed into the room to find clothes on his front feet, his mother's back feet continued, "If you have time, put those clothes of yours as well." Clean it up."

Don't look at He Yanqing talking endlessly now, An Ji didn't listen to half of it in a daze.It's not a perfunctory act of being a daughter, but looking at the dress wrapped in a dust bag in the closet, An Ji felt as if it was a lifetime away.

Even people who used to be together every day, it doesn't take long to withdraw from each other's life.

Maybe when you look up and see the old things, you will think of everything deep in your memory, but if you spend the whole time doing other things, you can have a new 'habit' in a short time.

Randomly picked out two pieces of clothes, He Yanqing's urging came from the door again, An Ji closed the closet door expressionlessly, and was stunned for a while, until the clothes he took slipped from his hands and fell to the ground, then he bent down Go, while answering: "Take it, it is useful in the closet, I will tidy up when I have time."

"When do you have time?" Seeing that the clothes in her daughter's arms were piled up in a mess, He Yanqing only felt that he might be forced out of obsessive-compulsive disorder, "You say no every day?" Time, if you don’t clean up the cabinet yourself, someone else will clean it up for you, and you won’t be allowed to throw this or that.”

"Facing it at home, you don't know how to wear it usually, do you use it to occupy space?"

He Yanqing obviously had something to say, but the pile of clothes that An Ji was holding was the first to be unwilling to listen, and fell to the ground scrambling to be the first, which only made the former more helpless and angry, and finally endured it.

"It's dirty on the ground, how old is it, why don't you know how to take care of yourself?"

"In the future, your father and I will be old, who will help you?"

"I..." An Ji wanted to explain, but suddenly remembered the secret that his father An Jianing said two days ago, opened his mouth, but chose not to say anything, "Oh."

It was rare to see An Ji not arguing with himself, and He Yanqing felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, regardless of what An Ji responded, "You, ah... Hurry up and sit on the sofa, get dressed and go out."

He Yanqing had to go to the supermarket to do online shopping, but An Ji had no choice but to obediently follow, so he hurriedly dressed and went out with his mother who had been standing at the door and couldn't wait.

"Mom, you can buy online now, don't you usually do a lot of online shopping?" An Ji didn't want to leave after just a few steps out of the house. He went to fruit stores, supermarkets, and vegetable markets. The number of steps is the first... My legs are already sore just thinking about it.

When An Ji was young, she also longed to go to the supermarket with her mother and buy some snacks that she seldom eat. Needless to say, she knew how happy she was.

But time can change many things. When online shopping was not so developed, my mother would spare time every week to buy things for my grandparents.

Later, with the development of online shopping, my mother also used online shopping to buy things to send to my grandparents. In addition to all kinds of busy schedules, I didn't go to school locally.

"Is buying fruit online better than picking it myself?" Mother He Yanqing's response brought An Ji back to reality from his thoughts, "Put on your shoes quickly, there will be more ladyboys later."

While urging his daughter to go out quickly, He Yanqing continued to mutter without stopping: "I don't have to pick all the fruits at home to taste delicious. Thinking about that time, I finally got sick and rested for two days."

"You and your dad volunteered to buy me food, what happened?"

"The oranges are not ripe, the pears are rotten, and the apples are expensive to buy... You are such an adult, it's not that I haven't taught you two, you can't learn it!"

After finishing speaking, An Ji's shoes were also put on, and He Yanqing stopped talking when he left the house.

Until the two were walking on the road, the latter picked up the phone and called Grandpa An Ji: "What? There are too many fruits at home?"

"Ah, I haven't finished eating the ones I bought online last time?" He Yanqing basically bought one for himself and sent one to his parents. If his parents-in-law and mother-in-law hadn't left early, He Yanqing's order would definitely have changed. Into 'triplicate'...

"That won't work. I took An Jianing and my daughter to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he still doesn't agree without bringing anything."

Needless to say, An Ji also knew that it must be grandpa and grandma who were refusing again.It was the same when I was young. The family conditions were not very good. My father and mother always missed each other’s family members, and the latter also missed their own children. From time to time, I had to add some money so that my parents could buy me something I liked. thing.

"Okay, okay, okay, don't buy, don't buy."

"Hey, dad, don't worry about it, there is no shortage at home now, but..."

He Yanqing and his father refused to give in on the phone. The former wanted to buy things, but the latter refused to ask for anything. An Ji knew that at this time, whatever he said would be dragged in by his mother, so he just followed behind and pretended Quail, on the other hand, won the true biography of his father.

"Okay, I finished the phone call with your grandfather." An Ji followed without saying a word, and He Yanqing naturally knew what her daughter was hiding, so she hung up the phone and pulled her to her side, "What do you think?" Whatever your grandpa likes, take mom to buy some for your grandpa."

"Huh?" Since when did my own mother ask me for my opinion?An Ji was in a daze, unable to tell what grandpa likes for a while.

Calligraphy and painting?It's just an interest that my grandfather cultivated himself. When he has time, he writes and draws in newspapers, and he is even reluctant to buy rice paper.

eat and drink?Grandpa and grandma are typical thrifty housekeepers of the older generation. Unless they go back with their mother, they usually eat casually.

As for collectibles such as gold and stone, not to mention, my grandparents are all workers, so where is there any leisure to collect?
"You don't know?" He Yanqing couldn't figure out what to buy for his father, and seeing that An Ji had been thinking for a long time without any results, he couldn't help but sighed, "Now that the family is not short of money, there is really no need to save it, tell them. How many times, I can't listen to it."

I don't know what grandpa and grandma like, but it's really not bad for An Ji.Normally, the two old people had money and were reluctant to spend it, so they saved it for He Yanqing's family. As time passed, their own preferences naturally gradually faded.

"Why don't you buy a piece of rice paper for grandpa?" After thinking for a while, An Ji couldn't help but ask, all he could think of was this...

Unexpectedly, He Yanqing directly vetoed it as soon as he proposed it: "It's useless to buy it for him, and I still don't want to use it in the cabinet."

"The last time I bought paper for him, I said I would use it after I practiced it. It hasn't been opened until now. After a while, I'm afraid it will be eaten by moths, and I won't be able to use it at all."

He Yanqing felt helpless when he mentioned these things. He understood that his parents were doing it for the good of his family, but now that the family no longer lacked money, it was time to change some old ideas back then. They are already so old, so there is no need to suffer yourself .

"Then..." Thinking of digging through her grandparents' cabinets when she was a child, An Ji suddenly thought of something, glanced sideways at her mother, and finally chose not to talk, "Then I don't know what to give, usually grandpa and grandma don't care about anything." I can’t bear it, I really can’t buy them something good to eat.”

How can my daughter's small thoughts deceive a mother?At the moment when An Ji was stunned, He Yanqing guessed that the former must have thought of something. Although he didn't know why An Ji refused to say it, He Yanqing could also realize that it must have something to do with him.

"I usually bought a lot of food for them. Basically, if the good ones are spoiled, they are reluctant to eat them, so I just take them out when you go."

He Yanqing said that An Ji didn't realize that every time he went to his grandparents' house, the food he ate was the best. When he was a child, he still wondered why he thought so much of the food at home.

After growing up, An Ji knew that it was the grandparents who kept all the good things bought by their mothers for themselves when they went to go, but they themselves couldn't bear it at all - obviously those were bought by their parents for them.

"I don't want anything to buy milk for them now, and the moon cakes are too hard to bite... Tsk, if we don't take anything in the past during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't care, your father still doesn't agree."

An Ji has never been able to understand what his mother He Yanqing said.I often see that other people only care about my parents, so that the other half is quite reluctant. Why did I come to my own house and become a father who has to buy things for grandpa and grandma no matter what?
An Ji also knew that her father was very kind to her mother, but she always felt that there were other reasons behind it.If it's just to thank grandparents for raising their mother, and finally became his father's wife, and the latter wants to give back, An Ji thinks it's unrealistic.

"What are you thinking about?" An Ji's thoughts were interrupted by He Yanqing again, "Thinking of what to buy for your grandparents?"

"Why don't we go on a trip as a family of five? I just happen to be on vacation, so your dad shouldn't have anything to do in those few days." He Yanqing himself was deeply skeptical when he said that.

His two parents, He Yanqing, knew very well that they both wanted to save money for themselves, so why would they be willing to spend money to travel?
Before An Ji could say anything, He Yanqing backed down first: "Forget it, wait until you convince them both, the Mid-Autumn Festival is over."

"Hey... your father is not at home, or let him think about what to give." At this moment, He Yanqing thought of An Jianing's usefulness, sighed three times, and looked at his daughter helplessly.

"actually."

Having reached this point, An Ji still decided to speak out her own thoughts, even though her mother would think too much—I am afraid that deep down in her consciousness, she is indeed selfish.

"Actually what?" Before An Ji said anything, He Yanqing began to ask and answer, "Actually, your father can't think of anything to give, just let us mother and daughter rack our brains?"

"No." An Ji took a deep breath and decided to speak out in one go, but he didn't expect a call to be made to the mobile phone suddenly.

"An Ji, we may be busy in two days. There is a small event, can you help me?" The voice of Midsummer was on the other side of the phone, "The other thing is that we are going to prepare new styles for the Spring Festival now. You can come with me design?"

An Ji knew that her girlfriend was seizing every opportunity to find opportunities for herself. While she was happy, she secretly sighed that it would have been better if the call came a few minutes later. Gather up the courage to speak, and when I hang up the phone, I'm afraid I won't dare to speak again.

"OK, no problem."

"I'm outside right now, I'll chat on our WeChat later." After hurrying to deal with her best friend, An Ji planned to speak quickly while he was in a high mood, and hung up the phone without a few words.

"Mom, I saw that there are silk clothes hanging in the closets of grandpa and grandma, and they are all carefully taken care of. Why don't we buy some fabric and go to the tailor to make two sets of clothes for grandpa and grandma?"

As soon as An Ji's words came out, He Yanqing fell into silence as expected: "Are you planning to buy some Hang Luo to make clothes for them?"

"Don't tell me what you think, think about how long you have been sewing by hand when you designed the clothes?" In order to avoid quarrels, He Yanqing also tried to avoid topics that would easily cause disputes between the two.

"To the tailor, do you know the length, sleeve length, and trouser length of your grandparents?"

"I can't finish a piece of clothing after the [-]th. Can I still wear it when it's cold?"

An Ji had to admit that apart from the preferences of his grandparents, his own selfishness did exist, so that he opened his mouth without thinking about a series of issues such as the construction period.

"Then send it again during the Spring Festival." An Ji obviously didn't want to argue with his mother over this matter, but An Ji still seemed to speak without thinking.

He Yanqing also knew that it was not because her daughter was naive and persistent when she said this.Most people of the older generation have a special feeling for silk clothes. If An Ji hadn't said it about sending silk clothes, it would be a pertinent suggestion without personal emotion.

"Okay, it's almost the holidays, and I don't want to quarrel with you, I'll talk about it later."

The generation of An Ji's grandparents was very concerned about silk clothes. In the early years, He Yanqing also had the idea of ​​making two sets of clothes for the two elders, but it was time-consuming and labor-intensive, so they never made it. Now An Ji proposes When he got up, he also reminded He Yanqing.

"Oh." An Ji deserved to be reluctant, but he also knew that he couldn't convince his mother.After all, the money is spent by the latter, and I can only provide reference opinions...

"Some things are not as simple as you think. You will know when you have a chance in the future." My daughter is not stupid. She must have known that she was hiding something during this time. He Yanqing's words are puns, which can be regarded as confirming An Ji's heart guess.

"Oh."

"Okay, let's go to the supermarket for a while. If there is something suitable to buy back, we have to send it back when your father and my friends come to our house."

It's a good custom to show courtesy to foreigners, but now no one's family lacks anything, and sometimes it becomes a burden, An Ji complained in his heart, but he didn't stop on his feet, and walked straight ahead with his mother.

　　Digression: I am going to see Hang Luo today, and I will show you all the photos I can take. As a result, Grandma Hong is in the sun. I will go tomorrow depending on the situation (although I am personally in good health, but I am afraid that it will affect others. I will take a taxi driver today. The master is afraid...)
　　Today I finally went to Xiling Yinshe (national and world-class intangible cultural heritage: gold and stone seal carving, some photos will be posted later~)
