"Da Ya, this young man must be your partner. He's so handsome!"
The old woman pursed her lips and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Su Qinghe's face turned red instantly, but Gu Yifan looked confused because he couldn't understand the Hokkien dialect.
"Third aunt, he...he is not..."
Su Qinghe glanced at Gu Yifan secretly and whispered.
"Provoke~"
"Third aunt is just old, not stupid. You are holding hands and you still say she is not, you are lying!"
The old woman glanced sideways at Su Qinghe and said calmly.
Su Qinghe: "..."
The blush on her face deepened a little, and she lowered her head in shyness.
Gu Yifan looked at Su Qinghe who suddenly blushed again with confusion on his face, and asked, "Su Hanhan, what are you talking about?"
"ah?"
Su Qinghe was stunned for a moment. She hurriedly shook her head and stammered, "No... I didn't say anything."
"Um?"
Gu Yifan frowned: "Really?"
"Uh-huh!"
Su Qinghe nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Oh."
Although Gu Yifan had doubts, he didn't say anything more.
"By the way, Hanhan, aren't we going to go up the mountain soon? Can you ask my third aunt if I can borrow a hoe, sickle or something?"
He thought for a moment and said.
"Oh."
Being reminded by Gu Yifan, Su Qinghe also remembered the business, so he said to the old woman: "Third Aunt, I want to go up the mountain to pay homage to my parents. Can you lend me some tools?"
"Oh, yes!"
"Just follow me home and get it later!"
The third aunt agreed readily.
…
Ten minutes later.
Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe went up the mountain.
Su Qinghe was wearing a straw hat and holding a sickle for cutting rice in his hand, while Gu Yifan was carrying a hoe. The other end of the hoe was carrying a basket of incense candles, paper money and tributes, and the two of them walked towards the mountain. .
In fact, it is a mountain, but strictly speaking, the mountain in front of you can only be regarded as a hill!
It's not too high, it's not too steep, and it's not too difficult to go up the mountain.
Twenty minutes later, the two arrived.
"Is this here?"
Gu Yifan looked at the weeds on the ground and said.
"Uh-huh."
Su Qinghe nodded gently.
"good!"
Gu Yifan nodded, then put down the things on his shoulders and said, "Then let's start working!"
After saying that, he began to clean up the weeds on the ground.
Seeing this, Su Qinghe put down the things in his hands and started cleaning up with Gu Yifan.
Half an hour later, the two people finally cleared away the surrounding weeds, revealing two side-by-side tombstones.
Gu Yifan placed the incense candles, paper money and tributes he brought over one by one, and then said softly to Su Qinghe: "Okay, Hanhan, I'll go over there to smoke a cigarette, and you have a nice talk with your parents!" "
"Um."
Su Qinghe looked back at him and nodded gently.
When Gu Yifan saw this, he didn't say anything more. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and turned around and walked towards the gravel edge on the other side, leaving the space for Su Qinghe.
After he left, Su Qinghe, who was originally calm, could no longer hold back, and her eyes instantly turned red.
"Mom and Dad, I'm here to see you."
She squatted in front of her parents' graves and lit the incense candles one by one. As she lit them, she whispered softly: "Mom and Dad, do you know that some time ago, I almost went to find you, but because of someone's appearance, I That's why I didn't go there. He is very good to me, and his family is also very good to me..."
…
"He is very handsome and outstanding... Sometimes when I am alone, I often wonder if my parents asked him to come to me. Otherwise, why would he appear so promptly, whenever I need him again?" When the time comes, he will always appear in front of me immediately."
"Mom and Dad, he came back with me to see you today. You should have seen it too, right?"
"You'll like him too, right?"
Su Qinghe's tone was soft and soft, as if his parents were right in front of him, chatting with him face to face.
Half an hour later.
Looking at the ashes of the burned incense candle in front of him, Su Qinghe stood up from the ground silently.
At this time, Gu Yifan was already standing beside her, just staying with her quietly.
"Okay, let's go!"
When the last ash of incense fell, Su Qinghe turned back to look at Gu Yifan, with a smile on his face.
Although there was a smile on her face at this time, the sadness in her eyes could not be removed for a long time...
Gu Yifan looked a little distressed.
He reached out and gently held Su Qinghe's little hand, and said softly and gently: "Well... do you want to stay a little longer?"
"No... no need."
Su Qinghe shook his head gently and said.
"good!"
Gu Yifan nodded.
After thinking about it, he solemnly promised: "Then let's do it this time. Next time you want to come back to see your uncle and aunt, just tell me. I will take you back at any time if you want."
Su Qinghe was stunned for a moment. She looked up at Gu Yifan and was very moved when she saw that he didn't look like he was joking.
She didn't speak, but nodded seriously and vigorously.
Afterwards, Gu Yifan stopped talking. He turned around and silently started to pack up the tools on the ground.
Su Qinghe looked at his back, feeling warm in her heart. She turned to look at her parents' tombstones and said softly: "Mom and dad, have you seen it? He is really good. From now on, my daughter will no longer be alone." …”
After collecting the things, Gu Yifan walked up to Su Qinghe carrying the basket and said softly: "Okay, let's go?"
"Mmm Good."
Su Qinghe nodded very obediently.
Hearing this, Gu Yifan didn't say anything more, he just silently took Su Qinghe's hand, and the two of them turned and walked down the mountain.
The moment the two turned around.
A gust of mountain wind swept up the ashes in front of the two tombs and flew all over the sky...
…
"Su Hanhan, this is where you went to school when you were a child?"
Gu Yifan looked at the row of dilapidated short houses covered with vines in front of him and said.
"Uh-huh."
"When I was very young, I studied here."
"Later, after my father's accident, my mother went to work in a mountain city, and I went with her."
Su Qinghe nodded and spoke softly.
"Oh."
Gu Yifan nodded, "Hey, so you studied in Shancheng when you were in junior high school?"
"Uh-huh."
Su Qinghe nodded and replied softly: "My junior high school was in No. 14 Middle School."
"No. 14 Middle School?"
"I'm in No. 1 Middle School, no wonder, why haven't I seen you before?"
Gu Yifan nodded when he heard this.
Suddenly, he spoke again: "Hey, Su Hanhan, tell me, if we had known each other when we were children, would we have become good friends by then?"
Su Qinghe was stunned for a moment.
She was silent for a while, then raised her little head to look at Gu Yifan and nodded seriously and firmly.
"meeting!"
