our psalms

When it was time to eat at noon, several children were already rushing to the wheat field with big bags of food on their backs. When I saw Lao Cao carefully and skillfully cutting the wheat there, it was really funny and very cute. I He took out his phone and took a quick picture.

"Come on, silly boy!" Lao Cao found out, "It's time to eat, Daniel, sister-in-law!"

"Hey, here we come!"

A group of people sat around on the thick pile of straw and began to eat lunch.

Lao Cao was sweating profusely. While eating, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled from ear to ear.I can feel that although this kind of life seems to be very tiring for him, he is actually very happy. He doesn't need to think too much about anything, and he doesn't need to worry about why he is sad. Such a simple life is actually very happy. It suits him.

"I want to eat the dishes cooked by Cheng'er!" He picks them up and down with his chopsticks.It caused a burst of laughter at the "dining table".At this time, the youngest daughter, Ah Xiang, said mercilessly: "It depends on what kind of dishes he can cook, and he can't even cook."

"You can't say a few words!" shouted the eldest daughter Gillian.At this time, there was another burst of laughter.

It has been more than a month since I came to this peaceful place. Whenever I look up at the pure sky, look down at the vast land, lie leisurely on the green grass, let the breeze blow across my cheeks, Not a trace of fatigue, not a trace of anxiety.This feeling is so precious to me.From time to time, I stare at Lao Cao's fat body, dangling in the wheat field, as if it is like a peaceful melody, which makes people feel refreshed and extremely satisfied.

Lao Cao likes to come and hug me when he is resting, let me lie in his arms, and talk to me while smoking a cigarette.I always love to use that sweaty face to come and go on my face, just like a child.In my opinion, this may be him, a real old Cao.

"It's been a long time since I've been so peaceful." Lao Cao and I sat quietly on the hillside, and he didn't care about the mud on his hands. He touched my face while expressing emotion, "Cheng'er, let us Just live like this forever, what will you do?"

"That's what I wish for, Uncle!" I said with certainty, "But, can I?"

"Of course, for Cheng'er, uncle can do anything."

"Uncle..." Whenever I think of eternity, my heart can't help but tremble, because I know that the time I can spend with him is running out, and I don't want him to keep the promise of eternity in vain. And miss in mourning.But at this moment, my hesitation will definitely make him feel disappointed and lonely again. I can only nod with a smile and tell him, I think, I really want to.

"What if one day my uncle is gone?" Lao Cao asked me while holding my hand.

"No, never will."

"Silly boy, uncle is older than you, so he will definitely leave before you."

"I don't want you to say that!" I shouted, "Then I want to ask you, what will uncle do if one day I am gone?"

"That's really impossible!"

"I mean if!"

"Hehe, Cheng'er!" Lao Cao took my hand and stood up, "Look." He pointed at the peaceful sky, "Look, isn't it beautiful, how can you see such a pure sky in the city? "

"yes……"

"So, when one day my departure takes your world away, just look up at this sky, we really loved each other, right Cheng'er?"

"uncle?"

"If you feel lonely, just look up at the sky that once belonged to us. The sky is still so blue, there should be no regrets, no tears." Lao Cao said, looking at me sadly, Hold me tightly in his arms. "If you feel lonely, just look back and think about the past we have gone through. In the end, our hearts are still connected, just like this day, just like this place, 100 years, 1000 years, 1 years will not be the same Change."

"Uncle..." His words made me unable to hold back my tears, "We won't have any regrets, and we won't shed tears."

"Yes, Cheng'er, because you are already in Uncle's heart forever. This sky is our best witness!"

In the evening, I stood alone in the sunset, smiling.I really want to shout loudly, thank you loudly, this god who gave me happiness, although my life may be so short, but I got everything, everything I desire most in this world.When I turned around, Lao Cao was already standing at the door waiting for me. He was holding a bowl of porridge, singing comfortably while eating.

"Have you eaten already? Would you like some more?"

"No, you've been tired all day, you need to eat more."

"Well, this rice tastes pretty good." Lao Cao said, "Dad is tired all day today, how do you plan to reward us tonight?"

"It's enough to give you porridge to eat, what else do you want to do?" I said this deliberately, and turned around looking at his smirk.

Night fell quietly, and at this time, the worlds of Lao Cao and I were completely merged together.Under the moonlight, the whole mountain seemed to be covered with a layer of silver tulle. Lao Cao sat quietly on the chair. I fetched hot water for him, took off his shoes, and put his tired feet into the water Rub carefully.

"Have you heard that there are ghosts here at night." He said suddenly.

"Come on, this trick to scare me is no longer effective."

"Really, remember when Dad used to be a policeman..."

"What, you used to be a policeman, aren't you a policeman now?"

"Haha, yes..." He looked at me hesitantly, "Hehe, anyway, I heard it from my parents when I was young, and my dad also heard it when he was working on a case. When people die, they become ghosts. Come back and see yourself." How about your child, just tonight, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, I don’t know if Dad’s parents will come back to see us.”

"What are you trying to say?"

"They'll take us, baby, and they'll bless us."

"Crazy Dad, can you think of something useful!" I wiped my hands and stood up, "I want to give you something today!" I ran back to the room and took out a pair of cloth shoes, which were the little ones I used to wear. When Dong was dying, he used it to bless me for finding true love.I remember at that time he told me that he must wear it on the feet of his most beloved person.When I put it on Lao Cao's feet with certainty, Lao Cao smiled and asked me: "When did you buy it? This should be a rare and limited product of old Beijing. Thank you baby!"

"Xiaodong gave this to me. He didn't have time to put it on his favorite Lao Xie, so he went..." I said silently, "I can only wear it on the feet of my most beloved person. Now, It's your uncle!"

"Hehe, that child..." Lao Cao stood up with a smile and walked a few steps, "It's really comfortable. It's good to wear cloth shoes." He turned his back to me and wiped his wet eyes.

"Are you crying, Uncle?"

"No...no..."

"Why are you still not happy, don't lie to me." I walked over, but was hugged by him, his tears dripped down my cheeks and onto my face, "Uncle, what's wrong with you? "

"Cheng'er, you gave your whole life to an old man, is it worth it?"

"It's not worth it or not, only willing or not, I said, uncle, for you, I am willing!"

After listening to my words, Lao Cao didn't say anything.He brought his warm heart to my mouth and kissed deeply, "Dad can't live without you, Cheng'er... definitely can't..." I can still feel the tears in his eyes swirling and falling on my lips. face.I hugged him tightly and kissed deeply desperately.

I have been very afraid, afraid that the lingering night will pass, I will never be able to open my eyes again, I will not be able to see the dawn of the next day, and I will not be able to see Lao Cao.Every day, when I try my best to open my eyes, see that familiar and peaceful face, and feel that my world is still there, I am so happy, so happy.

Time passed day by day, never thought it would pass so fast.When I clearly felt that the breath in my chest was getting weaker and weaker, I finally started to fear.One day, I asked Lao Cao why he had not returned to work after more than half a year.

Every time he mentioned this issue, he always kept silent, but today, he finally opened his mouth.

"I quit my job and stay in this place with you forever!"

"Real?" I asked him.

"Why is it unrealistic? Aren't we just going to be together?"

"You can't do this, Uncle, you still have your future." When I said this, he laughed again.

"This sentence is what I often said to you before. As for the reasons for the rebuttal, I believe you understand better than me."

"But..." I looked at him in a panic, "You have worked hard all your life, why did you give up because of me, why, I don't want to do this, I don't want to!!!"

"Cheng'er! I know what is important and what is secondary, why can't I let uncle choose for himself?"

"If..." I cried, "But it's not possible now, you can't do this, you have nothing if you follow me, uncle, go back, go back, okay, go back to your world!"

"you are my world!"

Lao Cao's heart was broken, he looked at me and said: "If you hate Uncle, you can leave at any time to pursue your world, your future!"

"But you are also my world!" I looked at him weakly, and when the muddy water was twisted together, he laughed again.

"That's right, isn't that enough? It's good, Cheng'er." He came over and kissed my forehead, "Hurry up, I'll take you out to play this afternoon."

"uncle……"

"Stop talking, I don't want to hear those words again, okay Cheng'er?"
