Mu Chen

47. Chinese New Year

Because Yu Yong insisted on squeezing into his bed all the time, in the end there was no other way, Mu Chen packed up the big bed in the back room, and moved their quilts in, and the two shared the same bed again after a few years.

Although there are two quilts, Yu Yong often presses on his quilt with long hands and long legs, and throws his own quilt aside.

Muchen couldn't sleep well at night, always thinking about covering this kid with a quilt.In the end, he was too disturbed, so he had to buy a double quilt to solve the problem. Of course, it is more likely that he is used to being oppressed, and he can not be affected by being used as a pillow, and he still feels quite warm.

Jiang Cheng would call almost every day to ask how he was doing. As the Spring Festival approached, he even invited him to F city to play, and then went directly to school from there. He had a good dormitory there, and the unit even provided him with a car.

Muchen refused, he wanted to spend the New Year with his grandfather and father at home.

After Jiang Cheng heard that he didn't plan to go out, he pondered for a while and said he wanted to come back, but Mu Chen also refused.

He could feel that his Uncle Cheng was afraid to face this empty home, maybe because their years were too lively and happy before, he could understand.To be honest, without Yu Yong sticking to him like this, he wouldn't dare to stay here alone.

On New Year's Eve, Lin Lan originally invited Mu Chen to her house to spend the holiday together, but Mu Chen replied that he would burn paper and pushed it away.

Several years after Yu Jianguo's death, Lin Hong invited her to take Yu Yong to her home for the Spring Festival, but Lin Hong also had her parents-in-law, and she had to leave relatives there, and the Zhang family was a local with many relatives and friends.

Lin Lan felt very embarrassed. She only went there for a year and stopped going there a year ago. Later, she took Yu Yong there on the second day of the new year, which was considered a return to her mother's house.

In the past few years, every year in the early morning of the third day of junior high school, Mu Chen specially came to the family building to pay New Year's greetings to Lin Lan, and took Yu Yong to his hometown in the village to live with him for a few days, and celebrated the New Year together lively.

It's inconvenient for Lin Lan to follow, but she won't stop Yu Yong either.

This was decided because Mu Chen heard from Yu Yong that his mother cried every New Year and there was no New Year atmosphere at home.He clearly remembered that his father had said before that Uncle Cheng was like this when he was a child, and that his grandma would cry when she thought of her absent son during the New Year holidays, and the atmosphere at home was not as good as usual.

Mu Chen was worried that this would cause psychological shadows on the child in the future, so he asked Mu Wen or Jiang Cheng to drive him to pick him up early in the morning.

For the New Year, Muchen didn't prepare as many things as in previous years.

He can cook home-cooked dishes, but among the Chinese New Year dishes, he can only make dumplings with stewed meat, and he doesn't know any other complicated pasta.Meatballs and snacks can also be made, but before he could muster up his energy to do it, neighbors and father's friends sent a lot, more than they prepared by themselves in previous years.

Several other families proposed to let him go to their homes for the New Year, including Xu Rongrong and Yu Xiaochuan, Liu Xiaogang's mother and the dean Li Grandpa who had retired for several years even came to the door in person, wanting to take him back to their homes.Muchen thanked each of them earnestly, only saying that he wanted to spend the New Year with his grandfather and father but declined.

In the early morning of 31, Muchen prepared sacrifices and paperwork, and drove Yu Yong to the cemetery.

It is the custom in Shicheng to send lanterns and burn paper at night, but Mu Chen felt uncomfortable and wanted to come and see Grandpa and Dad earlier.In fact, during this period of time, he often came to sit for a while, and it was convenient to have a car to go back and forth, but Yu Yong didn't notice it.

Yu Jianguo was also buried here, but in the area where he was cremated.

After they got out of the car, they went to Yu Jianguo's place first, cleaned it up, wiped the tombstone with the mineral water and towel they brought, took out the marinated pork head, beef with Mu Chen's own sauce, cooked dumplings, and There are various pastries and fruits sent by others, arranged one by one, cigarettes are lit, and then paper money and specially bought paperwork are burned, there are buildings, cars, TVs and mobile phones, and finally white wine is poured on them.

Not long, the two have been squatting in front of the tomb to burn these.

Mu Chen had never kneeled since he was a child, except that Mr. Yin Yang commanded him to salute at Grandpa Mu's funeral, and Mu Wen didn't want Mu Chen to kneel during the two days of the wake.

Mu Wen only said that their family doesn't pay much attention to these things, and they don't care what others think of their children's filial piety, and they don't think that their children's filial piety is reflected in this.

As an elder, neither he nor Grandpa Mu could bear the child kneeling down.

They believe more in nurturing richly and burialing lightly, and are more willing to let the younger generation cherish themselves.

So at Mu Wen's funeral, Mu Chen never knelt down, Jiang Cheng guarded him tightly, Mr. Yin Yang was stopped by Jiang Cheng, and others couldn't force him when they saw him dumbfounded.

Yu Yong was fined to kneel since he was a child, but after he became sensible, he would rather be beaten than kneel.

In terms of values, he was more influenced by the Mu family. After all, Yu Jianguo hadn't taught him anything seriously.

The two went to the tombs of Mu Wen and Grandpa Mu again. The procedure was the same, except that the food they brought was made by Mu Chen himself.A few dishes that grandpa and dad love to eat, mutton dumplings.There was no smoke, because neither of them smoked, so they burned a little more, besides the paperwork, there were also the letters Mu Chen wrote to the two of them during this period, the emotions and graffiti left by him.

After taking care of everything, Mu Chen turned around and sat down next to the tombstone, his eyes were empty.

Yu Yong hesitated a little, Mu Chen noticed it and said, "Come and sit down, Grandpa and Dad never regarded you as an outsider, you are here as their home, and now you are sitting on their threshold."

Yu Yong went over and sat down next to Mu Chen, and after a long time, he didn't have anything to say, "These are double tombs, how did Uncle Cheng buy them here, and who will Uncle Mu be buried with in the future?"

Mu Chen looked at it carefully, he hadn't noticed it before, "Maybe Uncle Cheng just wants Dad and Grandpa to be closer. No way, bury me and my dad together in the future."

Yu Yong suddenly grabbed Mu Chen's arm, but he didn't say anything after all.

After Mu Wen passed away, Jiang Cheng called Yang Li a few times. At that time, Yang Li's cell phone was turned off, so Jiang Cheng had no choice but to send her a text message.

It took almost a week for Yang Li to call back, explaining that she had gone abroad a few days ago, asked about the situation, and talked to Mu Chen, but Mu Chenmu didn't respond in a daze.Maybe Yang Li thought that Mu Chen was angry with her, or maybe there were other reasons, but after all, she didn't come back to take a look, and she didn't call Mu Chen again.

Jiang Cheng didn't know if this woman had remarried, but his attitude towards her was very cold, and he felt deeply worthless for Mu Wen and Mu Chen and his son.

Yang Li did remarry two years ago, and this time she married a Frenchman who came to work in China.

After several years of training, her work ability became stronger and her personality became stronger. Several suitors flinched after being in contact with her for a long time.Her conditions are not bad, her job is good, her financial conditions are good, she has no children to drag her down, and her appearance is not bad, but her age is there after all.

Men with good conditions pick on her age and personality, while she with poor conditions picks on each other.Not to mention that most of the men in this age group were divorced and brought up children, and she didn't raise her own son, so she absolutely didn't want to raise children for others.

After several years of selection, the Frenchman I met at work was the most suitable.

Jacques admired her independence very much, and although she knew little about him, it was still very honorable to marry a foreigner who was not a few years older than her at such an age. Don't you see how many girls in the company revolve around this man all day long?

She married in a hurry, but there is still a lot of room for exploration with each other, and both parties still maintain mystery.It is normal for them to go on business trips during their work. Maybe they get together less and leave more, but they got along pretty well in the past two years. When Jiang Cheng called, she was in France.

I don't know why, facing all the envious girls in the company, she can maintain a calm appearance and a secret superiority in her heart, but she has never mentioned it to Mu Wen. Maybe deep down she is afraid that Mu Wen will think that she is For the sake of vanity, although there is indeed this factor.

Jacques had finished his work in China some time ago and returned to France, and he will be sent to Malaysia soon. They have talked for a long time about their career plans.

Yang Li hoped that Jacques could stay in China, and it would not be bad to change another company based on his skills and status as a foreigner.But Jacques insisted on staying in the current company, which he co-founded with his partners. He is a technical person and a shareholder, and he cannot give up.

Yang Li didn't want to go to Malaysia, but she didn't worry about Jacques going to work there alone. He was a popular Frenchman, and she could imagine seeing the good things in the company.

She chased her to Paris, but she didn't get a result.It was a chicken feather all over the place, and she actually found out that she was pregnant again!Jacques was so happy that he immediately decided not to go to Malaysia, and wanted her to immigrate here as well and give birth to a French baby.

Yang Li was extremely hesitant, she was no longer young, but this man was so happy that she didn't dare to kill the child on her own.She had a hunch that if she really did that, it would be the end of her relationship with this man.But having a child is a lot of work, and she still can't make up her mind, and she can't let go of everything in Shanghai.

When this stall received the news from Jiang Cheng, although she was sad, she also felt that it was useless to go back.The person has been buried, her son has grown up, and she is extremely indifferent to her. She didn't need her when she was young, let alone now, and she is still in a state of desperation, and her physical condition does not allow her to take care of her son.

Mu Chen didn't feel anything, the current Yang Li was just an outsider who had nothing to do with him, he could ignore her neglect and abandonment of him, but he couldn't forgive her for using his father.

Yes, as he grew older, behind Mu Wen's beautification of Yang Li, he saw her intention to take advantage of her more clearly.

Compared with her father's sincerity, she paid too little and withdrew too quickly, and this indifference is just another confirmation.

After eating dumplings on the night of New Year's Eve, Lin Lan watched the Spring Festival Gala, and Yu Yong accompanied her to watch it all the way through, then set off firecrackers, and went to Mu Chen's house after she fell asleep. It was almost two o'clock at that time.

Muchen had already fallen asleep on the big bed, and a lamp was left for him in the outer room.

Yu Yong gently opened the door, took off his clothes and got into bed.Mu Chen muttered vaguely, "What time is it, cover your shoulders", before he could answer, he closed his eyes and groped to cover him with a quilt, then fell asleep again.

Yu Yong stared at Mu Chen's sleeping face for a long time while watching the fireworks flickering outside the window.
