It was noon when I came back to Zhuangzi from the mountain.
When the kitchen is preparing meals, everyone goes back to their rooms to take a bath.
Half an hour later, the hall opened.
Mother and son sat at the table waiting for a long time, but Qi Jiren didn't come, so they sent someone to look for him.
It wasn't long before the servant came back with a message: Qi Jiren let them eat first, don't worry about him.
Qi's not surprised, let children eat first, he let mother Chen packed a box, to find his father.
When she passed, Qi Jiren was sitting there in a daze, wearing the same clothes as before. From the door to the foot, there was a mud stain, and the rest of the place was clean.
So when he came back from the mountain, he sat there until now.
Qi took the food box from Mammy Chen's hand and asked her to go down first. He went into the room and closed the door. He went to his father, who was not sure what he was thinking. He squatted down, fell on his knees and whispered: "father..."
Qi Jiren moved and slowly raised his head.
At this moment, Qi saw his face. His eyes were red like tiger eyes. It was full of red blood. It was different from the spirit of the past. At this time, he was full of sadness.
"Here you are..." His voice is very hoarse.
Qi's nose was slightly sour. "Father, don't do that. It's been 30 years since my mother died..."
"Yes, thirty years." Qi Jiren sighed and interrupted, "but I still feel like the next day. In front of my eyes and in my mind, what I came up with was the scene when I went out to fight..."
"It was a deep winter. Your mother sent me out of the city. Before I left, I told your mother that when I came back, I would come back in the first month of the new year at the latest..."
Qi Jiren slowly closed his eyes, two lines of turbid tears flow out, "I promise your mother to come back in the first month, I did it, on the 15th of the first month, I came back, but your mother..."
He kept his promise, but she didn't wait for him to come back.
Even, the last side, has become a pity, she left him, only some cold words, and a letter.
She said: to marry him, she has no regrets all her life, which is her blessing. Even if she has been married for several years, most of them are her own.
She said: she was very lucky in her short life. Her only regret was that she failed to give birth to a successor.
She said: don't think about her, let him find a good temperament, continuation.
Finally, she said: the promise of that year will come to an end with her leaving. Let him not draw a dungeon.
That day, when he saw her, it was in the golden nanmu coffin. She was so quiet that he could no longer hear her voice and see her gentle eyes.
That day outside the city, became their husband and wife's last side.
"I've been in the army all my life. I don't think I've ever been sorry to anyone, but your mother is the one I owe the most. If I marry her, it's like leaving her widowed..."
Qi Jiren covers his face. For 30 years, he has been strong every day, but the 13th day of the first month of every year is the day when he takes down all his strength.
On this day, he was not a famous general of the town.
He is just a poor husband who misses his first wife.
As soon as today is over, he will return to the great general whom the common people trust!
Only today is the day when he, as Qi Jiren, is wantonly sad.
"Father, mother didn't blame you. Although I was less than ten years old when my mother died, I vaguely remember that mother didn't regret. She said that marrying her father was a blessing she had cultivated in her last life..."
Qi Jiren waved his hand, "just put down the food box and let dad be alone."
"Well, the daughter goes out first. What's the matter with the father..."
"Don't worry, I'm not as vulnerable as your father!"
Qi put down the food box and went out in three steps.
As the door closed, the room was quiet again.
Looking at the food box on the table, Qi Jiren felt a piece of jade in the shape of crescent moon.
This is a concentric jade. It's a token of love between him and a Yan. It's two pieces in total. When separated, it's crescent shaped. When combined, it's a circle, which means perfection.
This is his one, ah Yan's one, to accompany her underground forever.
"Ah Yan, today I only accompany you..."
It's no surprise that ye Chaoge came back alone.
Although her grandmother died 30 years ago, she believed that even if it was 50 years ago, the love between her and her grandmother would not change because of the ruthlessness of time.
Grandmother has long been deeply imprinted in the grandfather's heart, with a lifetime.
After lunch, Qi let ye Cibai go back, and he took his daughter into the inner room.
"When your grandmother passed away, my mother already remembered things. In my memory, the one who accompanied me most was your grandmother. Even though my father was not at home all the year round, my mother still remembered clearly. Every time my father came back, my mother's smile was the most, and my father treated my mother more seriously than my daughter..."Qi's daughter, looking trance, memories of the past.
"When I was young, I knew that my father and mother had a good relationship. At that time, I thought that I would like to be like my father and mother in the future. I don't want to be magnificent, I just want to help each other all my life, I don't want to be rich, I just want to be affectionate..."
"It's a pity that weiniang is your grandmother's daughter, but she didn't inherit your grandmother's good vision. However, it's not strange to be a mother, because I chose your father and planted the cause myself. I'll taste the fruit myself..."
Ye Chaoge trembled slightly, pursed her lips and called her: "Niang..."
Qi sniffed, slowly recovered, looked at her daughter through the tears, patted her hand, "I've been weak and incompetent all my life, but I don't want you to be like me. I know that you are strong-minded and have your own opinions..."
"If you are happy with the prince, I'll understand. I believe your eyes."
"Mother."
Qi Shi to her smile, and then said: "I've been muddled for half a lifetime, I'm afraid the rest of my life is the same, for mother I can't help you anything, the future road, you have to go, but no matter when and where, mother is standing behind you, if you are tired, mother accompany you."
When ye Chaoge came out from inside, his eyes were red and swollen.
In the face of mother Liu's worries, she gently nodded her head, turned her head to look at the door of the eye room, half loud, hoarse voice: "go back."
Back to the room where he lived, ye Chaoge's mood could not be calm for a long time.
Outside the vast expanse of a white, a look out, can not see the end.
Just like life in general, unknown in front of a life at a loss.
She sat for a long time, got up, took her cloak and went outside.
"Miss?"
Mother Liu had been waiting outside, and she did not dare to leave. She heard the sound of the door opening. When she looked over, she saw the cloak on the young lady's body. She was a little puzzled.
"Come out with me, Mammy."
Ye Chaoge said.
