Let’s go”
Coming out of the cemetery, Wu Hao sighed at Li Wenming, who had been waiting at the intersection.
Li Wenming nodded and followed him silently. Li Wenming knew a lot about him, but it was difficult for him to remain silent.
As the person Wu Hao is closest to and most trusted, he knows that sometimes silence is more valuable than comfort.
The New Year flavor in my hometown is very strong, and the firecrackers in the city keep going off early in the morning. Although the city has been interested in issuing a ban on burning in the past two years, it has never been implemented.
Fortunately, Wu Hao and his family's home is located near a famous scenic spot on the outskirts of the city, so it is a little quieter.
Seeing Wu Hao's unhappy appearance when he came back from sweeping the grave, Zhang Xiaoman immediately said to his daughter: "Xiaotong, go and post the Spring Festival couplets with your brother."
"good!"
Wu Tong ran over immediately holding the Spring Festival couplets: "Brother, here it is!"
Wu Hao looked at his sister's smile, then smiled too, and then took the Spring Festival couplets.
"How about this?"
"More up."
"how about this?"
"It's off to the right."
"Is it ok now?"
"A little further down, stop, this is it!"
…
With the busy work of the brother and sister, several pairs of Spring Festival couplets were finally posted, and they were standing in the yard with their hands on their hips looking at the fruits of their labor. As for Li Wenming, he followed Wu Jianhua with a broom and started cleaning the yard.
"Dad, let me do it." Wu Hao snatched the broom from his father's hand and said.
Wu Jianhua nodded and sat on the stone bench on the side. Watching him and Li Wenming cleaning up, the youngest daughter Wu Tong said she was helping, but in fact she was causing trouble.
"How many days will you stay here this time?" Wu Jianhua lit a cigarette.
Wu Hao glanced at him, and then continued to clean up: "I will spend the New Year with you, and leave on the second day of the Lunar New Year."
"Why don't you leave now? You've only been back for a while!" Wu Jianhua's face suddenly fell when he heard this and he scolded him.
Well, Wu Hao didn't know what to say, and after a long time he said: "There are still employees in my company working overtime, I have to go back early to express my condolences.
If you and Wu Tong have nothing to do, you can come and play with me for a few days. I just bought a house. It's quite big, enough for you to live in. "
"Humph!" Wu Jianhua glared at him and then walked into the house. Seeing this, Wu Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head, then continued to pack up.
Not long after finishing cleaning the yard, the uncle's family came. You must know that the uncle is relatively traditional, or rather old-fashioned. In the past, he would take the initiative to go to their house to pay New Year greetings.
This time, the uncle and his family took the initiative to come here, which made his father Wu Jianhua couldn't help but feel happy.
The uncle's name is Wu Jianzhong. He is in his fifties and currently works in his hometown town. The eldest aunt Wang Ju used to be an employee of a state-owned supply and marketing cooperative, but later she was laid off and has been unemployed at home.
The two of them had looked down upon their family before, thinking that their father was just a small foreman. In recent years, they had managed to get along better by relying on his reputation as the leader of the town.
Therefore, the relationship between the two brothers has not been good these years, but no matter how bad the relationship is, the family has to go there every New Year's Eve to pay New Year's greetings.
Originally, Wu Hao and the others were planning to go there later this year, but they didn't expect that the uncle's family would come early.
Also coming with the old couple were his cousin Wu Jun, his wife and their young son. This family was very enthusiastic about Wu Hao. His eldest aunt Wang Ju kept pulling him to talk about his family life and inquire about his situation.
Wu Hao is not a fool, so he naturally knows why his uncle and his family took the initiative to come over this year. But after all, he is an elder, and he should answer seriously. Those who are difficult to answer will just laugh and laugh.
For example, when the eldest aunt asked whether she had made a lot of money this year, he laughed it off.
Of course, the conflicts between his parents belong to his parents, and he has a good relationship with his cousin Wu Jun. It's just that this cousin is over thirty and has long since turned into a middle-aged greasy man. When I communicated with Wu Hao, it was mostly because some parents were short-tempered, and there was no such thing as the previous way of getting along with each other.
Maybe this is real life. With different status, the perspective of looking at things is also different. He couldn't stand the enthusiasm of these people, and felt that it was not as normal as before to get along with them.
"By the way, didn't my second brother Wu Bin come back this year?" Wu Hao asked his aunt Wang Ju who was chatting with his stepmother Zhang Xiaoman about home affairs.
"He said he won't come back until the family leave is approved this year. Your second sister-in-law is taking care of the children and she won't come back." Wang Ju said with a kind face.
His second brother was once the person he admired most. He practiced sports for several years, then was admitted to the military academy, and later served in the Western Theater Command. Therefore, the two of them have met relatively rarely. It can be said that they have only met once or twice in so many years.
"Xiao Hao, do you have a girlfriend? Do you need your aunt to introduce one to you? My aunt's family has a niece who graduated from Wuhan University and is now working in a public institution. She is a good-looking person and is a good match for you." Wang Ju He pulled Wu Hao and said with enthusiasm.
"Well, auntie, I already have a girlfriend." Wu Hao said with a wry smile. Faced with this situation, he would say yes even if there was no such thing. Not to mention Lin Wei whom he already knew, even if he hadn't met yet, he would not agree to let this aunt help him introduce a partner.
"Really? Why didn't you hear it from your mother and father?" Wang Ju looked at Zhang Xiaoman with a suspicious expression.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman quickly smiled and said: "This child kept it a secret, and we only found out about it not long ago. No, that girl also gave us a lot of gifts. She gave that girl Xiaotong a necklace, and she gave me a necklace. A set of cosmetics, and an inkstone as an inkstone for Lao Wu. Why did Xiao Hao, with his careless temper, think of giving us these things?"
Wang Ju nodded after hearing this, then looked at Wu Hao and said with a smile: "You kid has a girlfriend and you keep it a secret. When will you bring her back and let your eldest aunt check it out for you?"
"Haha, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Wu Hao said with a smile on his face. But I couldn't help but secretly complain, no wonder I saw something wrong in the eyes of my stepmother and father when I took out the gifts yesterday. It turned out that they had already figured out that these things were not bought by me.
"Xiao Hao, come here and talk to your uncle." Wu Jianzhong, who was sitting opposite his father, rescued him from his aunt, but he couldn't help but feel miserable when he thought of having to deal with his uncle again.
If you are facing other people, there is no problem, but who would let this be a close relative. Facing them, even if Wu Hao was capable, he had to be cautious and respectful under his father's gaze.
She was afraid that if she were not careful, she would offend the other party and make her father angry.
The conversation with his uncle was more like a subordinate reporting work to the leader, which made Wu Hao feel very uncomfortable, but he could not reveal it yet.
The meaning behind the uncle's words is actually the same thing, that is, now that he has made a career, he must not forget the training his hometown has given him. Now an agricultural and sideline food processing factory is going to be built in the town, so I asked him if he had any intention to invest, etc.
This made him speechless and also very helpless. Human feelings were indeed the most difficult thing to deal with.
