"No! I have to remind him all the time to take good care of his body so as not to regret not being able to see his mother." Just like that, Mr. Yi suddenly felt that life had meaning again, otherwise he would be in vain in the future. It would be even less wonderful to send someone to someone with black hair.
However, he didn't have time to remind him today, as Old Man Jiang came over with his granddaughter Jiang Xiaoning.
The old housekeeper Fu Bo arranged for his son Li Anping to set up tables and chairs in the yard and make hot tea. The old man invited Old Man Jiang to sit down and drink tea.
Compared to Old Man Jiang, Mr. Yi is relatively satisfied with the status quo. My family is full of children and grandchildren, and they are reunited together. It is a bit regretful that the youngest son has not returned home this year, but Old Man Jiang is alone. He has a family and cannot return, which is very sad.
I also admire him from the bottom of my heart. Under such circumstances, he can achieve a profound enlightenment and break through the innate realm. It is really rare in the world.
Jiang Xiaoning shouted obediently, "Grandpa Yi! Uncle Yi! Aunt Lu! Grandpa Fu! Happy New Year!" After saying this, she happily took the new year's money wrapped in red cloth from everyone, each red envelope was worth five taels of silver.
Yi Yuan's mood suddenly became happy, and now he had two more playmates. The lovely sister Xiao Ning and brother Li Zhiyuan from Grandpa Fu's family were looking at him timidly and eagerly from a distance.
Yi Yuan pulled sister Xiao Ning, followed by Yi Wei, and the three of them walked to Li Zhiyuan together.
Within a moment, the four of them were playing together. You chase me, you fall, I fall, and then get up, the sound of laughter and slapstick is continuous.
Suddenly, there were bursts of "cracking" sounds in the distance. It turned out that someone had started setting off firecrackers. Several children hurried to the gate and looked around.
The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches.
Another year has passed amidst the roaring of firecrackers. The warm spring breeze has ushered in the new year. The bright sunshine shines on thousands of households. People take off the old peach charms and replace them with new ones.
Old Man Jiang softly recited the poems of the sages, his face filled with the light of peace and tranquility.
Mr. Yi was also reminiscing carefully, trying to see if he could recall a few verses from the sages' poems. Unfortunately, he had not worked hard in this area, so he had to give up secretly. It seemed that he was still suitable for drinking tea and lying down.
The crackling sound of firecrackers came one after another, and white smoke rose in clusters, curling up and gathering in the sky.
In the middle of the courtyard, Li Anping had already led people to arrange the large round table for the reunion dinner in order.
The old butler Fu Bo brought a large bunch of firecrackers, and several children ran over excitedly and surrounded him, staring eagerly at the firecrackers in his hand.
Uncle Fu placed firecrackers in the open space outside the door, and a few little guys consciously hid behind the door.
The moment the firecrackers were lit, the old housekeeper appeared in front of the little guys with a slight jump.
The sound of "cracking" was deafening. Several little guys quickly covered their ears with their hands, waiting for the firecrackers to be lit and no longer made any sound. Li Zhiyuan and Yi Yuan ran out first, pulling unlit firecrackers on the ground. Jiang Xiaoning and Yi Wei followed behind and followed suit.
The two lanterns hanging under the eaves emit a charming red light under the afterglow of the setting sun, just like the rising sun shining brightly in the sky, and the whole body is red and colorful.
Mr. Yi and Mr. Jiang have already placed their black and white pieces, and a battle breaks out on the chessboard.
Although Mr. Yi won less and lost more in the battle against Old Man Jiang, he still enjoyed it. The two of them fought so hard that they no longer had the time to drink tea.
Lu Yunqing took the Anping family's wife and maid to work in the kitchen. The old housekeeper told Li Anping to follow a few little guys.
Yi Zheng sat on the edge and drank tea, quietly watching the two old friends fighting on the chessboard with a smile on his face. His thoughts drifted into the distance for a while, and he was missing his mother: "More than forty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the mother in his memory was dressed in Tsing Yi, half-covered with a veil, but it could not hide her beauty to the core. Unfortunately, as the years passed, The memory has gradually become blurred, leaving only a hazy figure dressed in blue that often appears in my dreams."
Yi Zheng stroked his somewhat white temples and thought to himself: "Time is not kind to anyone, but it is the most merciless guest. After all, I couldn't resist the passage of time, so I slowly aged... The figure in my memory is still the same." He is so light and young, but he is already old. If one day he sees that figure that he has missed countless times again, how should he face it? "
"One was an old man with white hair and a pale face, and the other was a young and beautiful woman with black hair and black hair; then the old man shouted to the young and beautiful woman: "Mother"." That scene was really eye-catching, and Yi Zheng didn't dare to think about it. After going down, I took a long breath to relieve the depression in my heart.
Then I look at the energetic old man again, and my own state of mind is still not as good as that of the old man! How can this be done?
"No, I am much younger than the old man after all. I can't survive him. Although I can no longer practice, I can still cultivate my mind and character."
"To the extreme of emptiness, stay still and sincere. All things are working together, and I will observe them again. All the things are returning to their roots."
"If the sky is healthy, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement; if the terrain is weak, a gentleman should be virtuous."
Yi Zheng secretly made up his mind, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it.
The sound of firecrackers outside the house gradually faded away, the sun moved all the way to the west, the light was no longer so dazzling, and the cool northwest wind could not stop people's hot mood.
Lu Yunqing began to direct the maids to serve food and drinks.
Mr. Yi gathered the black and white pieces on the chessboard together and shouted: "No more playing, no more playing, I'm getting ready for the New Year's Eve dinner." After saying that, he ordered Li Lianfu to find the little guys.
Yi Zheng guessed that the old man was about to lose, so he kept silent.
Master Jiang didn't care at all. He packed up the chess pieces and the board. After the dishes and wine were served, the little guys came back reluctantly. Then, several families sat down one after another.
The old man picked up the wine glass and congratulated happily: "The old year has passed, and the new year has arrived. I wish you all: happiness, harmony, dreams come true, wishes come true, and all the best."
After that, everyone raised their glasses and drank together. For a while, there was a lot of excitement among people drinking and drinking.
The old year has passed, and the new year has arrived again. Thousands of lights are singing and blessing.
The sounds of laughter, guessing, fighting, and laughter turned into wisps of fireworks, floating across the entire earth.
