"Let's get ready to eat!" Lin Xuan shouted, as if injecting a warm atmosphere into the whole room.
After a while, Li Mengyao and Chen Tingting came over and walked briskly to the dining table.
When Chen Tingting saw the delicious dishes on the table, her eyes lit up and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, Lin Xuan, a man who can cook is simply amazing!"
As she spoke, she gave Lin Xuan a thumbs up, expressing her sincere admiration.
Faced with such praise, Lin Xuan just smiled faintly and responded modestly: "These are just some ordinary home-cooked dishes, don't be polite, eat them while they are hot." After that, he gently pulled out the chair and motioned everyone to take a seat.
At this time, Li Mengyao also smiled and said: "Tingting, you probably haven't tasted the dishes made by my husband before?"
Chen Tingting shook her head and replied: "Huh? Indeed, I haven't."
Li Mengyao invited enthusiastically: "Then you have to taste it today."
Chen Tingting readily agreed, then picked up the chopsticks, carefully picked up a piece of attractive braised beef and put it into her mouth.
At that moment, her taste buds seemed to be ignited, and she was instantly immersed in the rich, mellow and intoxicating wonderful taste.
This unique taste made her unable to stop, and she couldn't help but pick up several pieces in succession.
Then, she cast her eyes on the fragrant grilled lamb chops on the side.
When her teeth bit down, the feeling of crispy outside and tender inside, fresh and juicy once again conquered her taste nerves.
She couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my god, every dish is so delicious, I'm afraid I have to eat three bowls of rice tonight!"
Hearing this, Lin Xuan and Li Mengyao smiled at each other.
After a meal, Chen Tingting was very satisfied and her belly became round.
When she left, her face was filled with a bright smile. She kept thanking Lin Xuan and Li Mengyao and said that she must come to eat often in the future.
...
It was late at night and everything was silent.
In this quiet moment, Lin Xuan gently embraced Li Mengyao in his arms, and the two lay together on the soft bed.
"Husband, tomorrow is Qingming Festival, I have to go to see my father." Li Mengyao said softly, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Lin Xuan felt the emotional fluctuations in his wife's heart, he reached out and gently stroked Li Mengyao's silky hair.
"Well, are you still sad now?" He asked with concern.
Li Mengyao raised her head slightly, and her beautiful and elegant eyes blinked gently, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
"It's still a little sad, but it's much better than before."
"Why?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Because I already have my husband and babies to accompany me." A gentle light flowed through Li Mengyao's eyes.
Lin Xuan smiled slightly, opened his lips lightly, and slowly kissed Li Mengyao's tender lips.
...
The next morning, the sun had not yet penetrated the clouds, and the entire Jingshui City was shrouded in a thin layer of fog, and the drizzle added a bit of tranquility and sadness to the city.
Today is Qingming Festival.
After Lin Xuan and Li Mengyao got up in the morning, they packed up various items to take to worship their ancestors.
When everything was ready, the two walked together to the underground parking lot of the community.
Because Dabao and Xiaobao needed someone to take care of them, Huang Shifang stayed.
Lin Xuan started the car, and the luxurious Maybach drove out of the parking space smoothly and headed towards Li Village, the hometown of Li Mengyao's father.
Along the way, Li Mengyao's mood was obviously much more relaxed than the last time. She was no longer as heavy and sad as before, but happily chatting with Lin Xuan in the car.
Time flew by, and three hours had passed in a blink of an eye. The Maybach gradually approached the entrance of Li Village.
At this moment, a sharp-eyed villager noticed the conspicuous luxury car and shouted in surprise: "Look, Li Qingyang's daughter is back again!"
Other villagers heard the shouts and gathered around.
"That's right, today is Qingming Festival, she must have come back to visit Li Qingyang."
Another villager echoed. "Alas, it's really sad to say that his younger brother has never come here."
Discussions were heard from time to time in the crowd.
He opened one and handed it to Li Mengyao beside him, and held the other one himself. The two walked side by side, holding umbrellas and slowly approaching Li Qingyang's tombstone.
The raindrops gently fell on the umbrella, making a crisp and pleasant sound, like a sad and moving piece of music.
Li Mengyao cleaned up the fallen leaves and dust around the tombstone.
Lin Xuan gently placed the various tributes he had carefully prepared.They were neatly placed in front of the tomb, and then the incense was lit, and the smoke slowly rose.
After doing all this, the two stood quietly in front of the tomb hand in hand, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified, and there was a hint of warmth.
"Dad, I came to see you again this year." Li Mengyao lowered her voice, her tone full of longing.
"Let me tell you, our family has added two new members this year."
She paused for a moment, a happy smile appeared on her face, and continued:
"It's your grandson and granddaughter. They are now healthy and plump. I believe that if Dad can see it with his own eyes, he will be so happy that he can't close his mouth."
At this point, Li Mengyao couldn't help but think of her father's love for her when he was alive, and Li Mengyao's eyes turned red slightly.
"Now they are still young, when they grow up, I will bring the children to see you."
Li Mengyao said a lot in one breath, and she was choked up at the end.
Lin Xuan hugged Li Mengyao distressedly, patting her back gently with his warm palms, trying to give her strength and comfort.
...
Just at this moment, a series of light and steady footsteps suddenly sounded behind Lin Xuan and Li Mengyao.
The two looked back and saw that the person coming was Li Mengyao's grandmother!
Her slightly hunched body seemed to carry the vicissitudes of time. She held an old cane tightly in her hand. Every step seemed a little difficult, but full of determination. She walked slowly towards them.
"Grandma..." Li Mengyao called softly.
Grandma nodded slightly, with a kind light in her eyes, and said softly: "Yaoyao, are you here to see Qingyang?"
"Yeah." Li Mengyao nodded slightly, but tears slid down her cheeks like a flood.
Seeing this, grandma felt distressed and quickly stretched out her weather-beaten hand to carefully wipe away the tears from the corners of Li Mengyao's eyes and comforted her:
"Silly child, why are you crying? Qingyang is so happy to see that you are living so well now." Grandma stepped forward and gently wiped away Li Mengyao's tears with her old hands.
After that, grandma turned her eyes to Lin Xuan on the side, with a kind smile on her face.
Lin Xuan also smiled slightly in response.
"Grandma, are you here to see Dad too?" Li Mengyao asked.
"Yes, my other silly son didn't come, so I had to come alone."
Then, grandma took out some offerings that had been prepared long ago from her arms, and walked towards Li Qingyang's tombstone with trembling steps.
She bent down, slowly but very piously placed these items neatly, then lit the incense and silently stared at the tombstone in front of her.
