As soon as Su Mu and Kang Qiao arrived home, they went to the main room to visit their grandfather. When Kang Ping saw that the two children had returned safely, he smiled and nodded in relief.
"There were no accidents this time, right?" Grandpa Kang Ping asked Kang Qiao pointingly after confirming the safety of the children.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm really fine, don't you believe in watching the news at night?"
Seeing that Kang Qiao didn't understand what he meant, Kang Ping didn't pursue it. He waved his hands and didn't speak any more. He sat on the chair and looked up to the north, thinking deeply, with a trace of worry flashing in his eyes from time to time.
Kang Qiao glanced at Su Mu who was also absent-minded, pursed her lips and said softly: "It's not every five or ten, so I didn't let my mother come back. She said she would find a nearby Taoist temple over there to pray for blessings."
After saying these words, the heavy and tense atmosphere in the room obviously relaxed a lot, and Kang Qiao even heard Su Mu's breath of relief.Although Kang Ping didn't have such an obvious reaction, his face softened. He stroked his well-grown mustache and asked seemingly unconcernedly: "Your mother is in good health recently? How is the old headache? "But both people in the room knew that he actually cared a lot.
"It's better than before, but it's still a huge deficit. When I have a headache, my father will use the self-taught method you taught him to massage his head. It works."
"Well, it's all the root of the disease that fell during the previous confinement... It's fine if you weren't by her side before, but it's not easy for her to be filial to her in the future."
"I know."
The questions and answers of the grandparents and the grandson are all homely words, although they are not interesting, but they can feel the constant family affection and blood bond from them.
Speaking of the matter between Kang Ping and Xu Yinhua, it seemed complicated and unclear.But it is also very simple to sum up.
Kang Ping, who lost his son in his later years, drove his daughter-in-law Xu Yinhua out of the house not long after his son died, and refused Xu Yinhua's plea to take Kang Qiao with him.Except for the day of his son's death, he did not allow Xu Yinhua to see Kang Qiao during the rest of the time, and he could only use letters to contact him.This has also become the only thing he criticized by the villagers. It is completely unreasonable. Let alone the wife left by his dead son, even the mother of his only granddaughter can't treat her like this.It's shameless not to let the child follow the mother... If you don't look at anything else, you have to look at her... Isn't this killing someone?
This is also the reason why Xu Yinhua's relationship with him has always been tense. She lost her husband unexpectedly and was robbed of her daughter. She can bring her by her side and grow up with her. Even if she doesn't have father's love, she will give her double mother's love.But the reality is that she and her daughter were once embarrassed like a stepmother and a stepdaughter, which was what she resented the most.
After so many years, although she understood some of his painstaking efforts, there was always a knot deep in her heart, and if she didn't solve it in time, it would take root and sprout in her heart, which could not be pulled out and could not be removed.
The area around Kang Shou's tombstone is very clean. It can be seen that someone came to weed and take care of it on a regular basis. Before Kang Qiao left home, she was doing these things. Now I think about who it is.
The worship ceremony was very simple. The elder Kang Ping said something and stood aside to watch Kang Qiao and Su Mu kneel down to salute. Su Mu got up after three kowtows and opened a small jar of wine to the side, filling it with Kang Qiao. The mahogany cup in his hand has a mellow fragrance with a hint of elegant wine, like a gentle and modest gentleman like jade, not strong but unforgettable.
Kang Qiao held the mahogany cup firmly and shook it twice in the air, then tilted the cup and sprinkled the wine on the soil in front of the stele.The ceremony ended here, Su Mu took the mahogany cup and put it aside with the wine jar, and then accompanied his grandfather Kang Ping down the mountain to go home.
"Come back soon~~ Be careful of heatstroke!"
Before leaving, Su Mu did not forget to tell Kang Qiao that she would be hungry and tired after staying here for too long, and there should be a lot of things that she wanted to tell her father when she came back, I'm afraid she would talk endlessly.
"Got it, I'll give you lunch today." She didn't have time to do it.
"Okay, don't worry~~"
After watching the old and the young go away, Kang Qiao came back and sat down on a relatively clean place next to the tombstone after disappearing from her sight, quietly staring at the black and white photo on the tombstone with her knees folded and her delicate facial features , the refreshing and neat crew cut, the spring-like smile, and the elegant and charming dimples, this is the father Kang Shou that Kang Qiao misses every day.It is said that daughters are like their fathers, and Kang Qiao confirmed this saying, not only do they look alike, but they also have similar personalities, from hobbies to life pursuits, the similarities are scary.If he is still alive and well, it can be said that Kang Qiao may have deliberately imitated, but how can a six-year-old child remember such profound things.All this can only be attributed to blood relationship.
"Mom is not in good health, so I didn't let her come...Will Dad blame me?" Kang Qiao's tone could not help but feel a little lonely.
Kang Shou and Xu Yinhua are young couples, they got married at the age of 16 like all ordinary rural people at that time, what is different from others is that these two are in free love, a love story between a down-and-out former landlord lady and a quack doctor, that Landlords and feng shui masters were the key targets of sex in the [-]s, and they were all people with bad backgrounds at that time, so they were considered well-matched.If it had been decades earlier, he would have been beaten with a stick.But in that current situation, let alone anyone else, it was a feudal superstition, and a landlord class exploiter, but strictly speaking, the Kang family was better than the Xu family by many times.It's just because Longhu Mountain is the site of "God's Sticks". Even if you are the king of heaven, I don't want to touch the group of "God's Sticks" on the mountain. It doesn't matter what the people in the authorities think. In the end, I still have to go up the mountain to beg these people with bad background!Thanks to the protection of the Kang family, the Xu family had a much easier life after Kang's father and Kang's mother got married.Logically speaking, this story can end happily here, but no one thought that this is the beginning of suffering.
As a doctor, Kang Shou knew well that Xu Yinhua was not at a suitable age for childbearing, so he intentionally used contraception in the first two years of marriage, and he didn't go into details about the contraceptive methods.After turning 18, she was pregnant with a baby soon. The two young parents counted the days and looked forward to the baby's arrival. Xu Yinhua's stomach was also very competitive. The first child gave birth to twin boys. Everyone in the Kang family was delighted. He couldn't do it, he revolved around the new life every day, but suddenly one day the two little brothers, who were less than a hundred days old, both died young, and Xu Yinhua, who was still in confinement, was so sad that he fell to the root of the disease.After more than ten years, the family seemed to be cursed. Xu Yinhua gave birth to triplets, a boy and two girls, and twin girls. They all failed to escape the end of premature death. Until the year she was 32 years old, she gave birth to another pair of twins. , did not escape the curse, but was lucky to survive one.Kang Qiao is the surviving girl, because she was born ninth after the boys, so her nickname is Xiao Jiu.
If an ordinary woman gave birth to nine children but died one after another, she would be crazy, but the strong Xu Yinhua always believed that God had eyes, and would not let her husband who had been doing good deeds all his life and practiced medicine to help the world have no offspring.Kang Qiao's survival revived the family's life. No one said that Xu Yinhua was an unknown woman from Kezi, and no one said that Kang Ping revealed too many secrets and caused God's punishment. better.
Having lost so many children, Kang Shou has no other expectations for his only young daughter, but only hopes that she can grow from a small sapling to a towering tree in a healthy and safe way, named after the word "Joe".Coincidentally, the surname is Kang. Many people thought it was taken from Xu Zhimo's "Farewell to Cambridge" when they heard the name Kang Qiao for the first time, and teased Kang Shou for being too greasy.But only Kang Shou and Xu Yinhua know that Nianwai is indeed right, but it is not saying goodbye to Cambridge, but from "The Book of Songs. Wind. Zhou Nan. Han Guang", "There are trees in the south, you can't rest Think about it.” When it comes to love poems, you still have to read the Book of Songs, let alone Cambridge, can a scumbag write a love poem?
As the saying goes, young couples come to accompany each other when they grow old. After experiencing so many relationships between husband and wife, one can imagine how extraordinary it is.But Kang Shou left first... Kang Qiao didn't know if her father would be angry because of her decision, but she believed that her father would understand her.When her father was still alive, he always hugged her and said that her mother did not live a good life with him, and asked her to be filial to her mother in the future.So my father wants my mother to be happy, the happiness he can't give, and the love he can't give, I hope there will be a good man who can give her all these.
He casually talked about Xu Yinhua's current life, and talked about wherever Kang Qiao thought of, and occasionally talked about some interesting things about her work.
"Dad, I met a man. He said he likes me..." Although he knew no one would hear him, Kang Qiao blushed quietly when he said it himself, and glanced at the smiling father in the photo. Why did she feel that he was teasing her? Kang Qiao hurriedly raised her hand to cover half of her face, "Don't laugh at me! He is a completely different type from Dad, no, he looks very indifferent but has a gentle heart. Maybe they have something in common? Only he will ask me if I miss you..."
"But I rejected him, more than once." As soon as the voice changed, Kang Qiao's voice became frustrated, and Kengtou picked up the small stones around him and played on the ground, "He is a foreigner, and he didn't come here to develop. If I agree to his plan, I will follow him if I go further in the future. What will grandpa do if I leave... So I still have to refuse this time? Dad thinks I am doing the right thing? "
Questions that are destined to be unanswered can only drift away with the wind.Kang Qiao patted his pants, stood up and knelt in front of the tombstone, hugged the tombstone with open arms, put his face on the edge of the photo, closed his eyes, and felt the feeling as if he was hugging his father. He moved his lips and whispered: "Dad ,I like him……"
After a long while like this, Kang Qiao let go of her arms and stood up, looked up at Father Sun who was already in charge, and said with a smile: "This is a secret, only you know it except Dad, you must never tell it to anyone else!"
"There were no accidents this time, right?" Grandpa Kang Ping asked Kang Qiao pointingly after confirming the safety of the children.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm really fine, don't you believe in watching the news at night?"
Seeing that Kang Qiao didn't understand what he meant, Kang Ping didn't pursue it. He waved his hands and didn't speak any more. He sat on the chair and looked up to the north, thinking deeply, with a trace of worry flashing in his eyes from time to time.
