Chapter 137 Lantern Festival Chapter 2
After dinner, someone in the downstairs community called Mingyao to play chess, Mingyao packed up his things and went down.
Mingtang asked Qiu Shaoyang: "Do you want to go out for a walk? I'll show you around. The kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and high school I study in are all nearby."
Qiu Shaoyang: "Okay."
Although Mingtang's community is old, most of the people who live there are government officials. Although the nearby schools are small, they are mostly educated by the children of government employees.
In the early years, this was the resettlement site for public officials, and later it evolved into a community. Including those who moved here later, there are more than 3000 households in the community.
Many of them are within the system, and Mingtang knows them more or less.
We saw them along the way, and we had to say hello to each other.
The kindergarten where Ming Tang studied is in the community, and the current kindergarten is very beautifully decorated, Ming Tang said: "I used to be the king of children in the kindergarten, and all the children listened to me."
Seeing his arrogant expression, Qiu Shaoyang couldn't help laughing, "You're so amazing."
"Yeah, I liked to fight when I was young, and I would beat anyone who was not convinced."
Qiu Shaoyang asked him, "Then why did you choose to become a policeman?"
Mingtang recalled when he chose to volunteer, and said: "At that time, I didn't know what major I should apply for. My father and sister were both policemen. I was a policeman wandering around in the police station, and then I chose the police academy."
Mingtang asked Qiu Shaoyang: "What about you?"
Recalling the past, Qiu Shaoyang said: "I applied for the police academy entirely to follow in the footsteps of my uncle. I followed my uncle from the beginning, and it can be regarded as a subtle influence."
The two walked slowly along the road.
Qiu Shaoyang recalled how happy his uncle was when he chose the police academy.
Qiu Shenglin told him: "You are born to be a policeman."
Being specially recruited into the police station, Qiu Shaoyang directly joined the serious crime brigade. There were many colleagues who joined the police station at the same time, only Qiu Shaoyang was different from them.
Everyone felt that Qiu Shaoyang was able to join the Serious Crime Squad because of his uncle's blessing.
The bureau took good care of him from top to bottom, and the leaders at the top would ask him about his health from time to time, which made many people have great opinions on him.
Later, he blocked the mouths of those people with his outstanding performance in major cases.
After wandering around, Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang returned to the community.
Mingyao was still playing chess with his partners.
The onlookers saw Mingtang and waved to him.
Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang walked over together.
"Mingtang, how long do you plan to stay this time?"
Mingtang said: "Leave at night, I have to go to work tomorrow."
The man noticed Qiu Shaoyang and asked, "Who is this?"
Mingyao helped to answer: "My son."
The man laughed after hearing this: "When did you have another son?"
Mingyao said: "This is the object of our family's Mingtang. If there is a wedding in the future, you will have to pay for it."
The surroundings were instantly silent.
Mingyao put down the chess piece: "General."
Then he got up, and said to Ming Tang, "Go home," regardless of what other people thought or looked at.
Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang didn't mind disclosing their relationship, but he was afraid that these elders would not be able to bear it, which would affect their relationship with Mingyao.
The three walked into the building, and Mingyao said: "What are you afraid of, you didn't steal, you didn't steal, you are together openly, with a clear conscience, don't care about other people's gossip."
He also wanted to tell Qiu Shaoyang that Qiu Shaoyang's identity was recognized by their Ming family, and they would not lose him.
"It's not a bad thing to like men. Don't be afraid, this matter will not affect us in any way. The society is very developed now, and those previous views should be changed."
Ming Tang generously took Qiu Shaoyang's hand.
Mingyao smiled and said: "That's right, young couples in love, what's wrong with being more intimate. Your mother and I won't feel ashamed because you are a man. The ones who should be ashamed are those People who see people through colored glasses."
Qiu Shaoyang was deeply moved by Mingyao. Considering the Ming family's working environment and circle of friends, Qiu Shaoyang has been deliberately lowering his sense of existence, for fear that when he and Mingtang leave, the neighbors will discuss their family.
Now Mingyao's calm attitude made Qiu Shaoyang feel more confident.
It just so happened that a family came down upstairs and met Qiu Shaoyang and the others on the stairs.
The other party greeted Mingyao: "My son is back to spend the Lantern Festival with you."
Mingyao said with a smile: "Yes, he even brought his partner back."
Seeing Qiu Shaoyang who was holding hands with Mingtang, the other party was taken aback for a moment, then smiled at Qiu Shaoyang: "The young man is so handsome."
After finishing speaking, he said to Mingtang again: "When I have time, take your partner to the house for a sit-down."
Ming Tang said: "Okay, I will definitely go when I have time."
Mingyao asked them: "Are you going out?"
The family said, "Yeah, go out to my mother's for dinner."
Mingyao talked to them a few more words before continuing to climb the stairs.
Mingtang said to Qiu Shaoyang: "Don't mind, my dad is now eager to stand on the top of the building with a loudspeaker and call you from our family."
Qiu Shaoyang chuckled when he heard this.
Mingtang told him the reason: "You are so outstanding. Those of us who are policemen admire people who are outstanding in every way like you. Even if those people gossip about us behind our backs, my dad won't take it seriously. You To be able to achieve good grades in the ten rings, to become famous in the public security system without entering the police academy at a young age, and to solve major crimes repeatedly in a short police career, no matter who has any point, it is already very awesome. But you have all of them. You are too young to create myths. My dad can boast about it for ten years. Older people just have a sense of comparison. Whose son-in-law is so good? This will take you around the community , who else can compare to you."
Mingyao said faintly in front of him: "You brat, I can hear you."
Ming Tang blinked.
Qiu Shaoyang didn't expect Mingyao to have such a lovely little thought at his age.
Mingtang said: "Next time you come home with me, you will definitely become a man of the hour in our community."
"is it?"
Mingtang said confidently: "That must be done."
As soon as I got to the door of the house, I heard the house was very lively.
"Are there any relatives in your family?" Qiu Shaoyang asked.
Mingtang didn't know very well, when he opened the door, there were children running inside the room.
Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang said: "There are a few aunts in the community who have a good relationship with my mother."
Qiu Shaoyang snorted, he had seen some of them when he came here in the morning.
Those aunties came with their grandchildren.
Chen Wan was chatting with them, when she saw Mingtang and the others came back, she hurriedly called Qiu Shaoyang to sit down.
Qiu Shaoyang sat down beside Chen Wan obediently.
Mingtang sat next to Qiu Shaoyang and started peeling oranges for Qiu Shaoyang.
Chen Wan and the others had smiles on their faces, they must have had a good chat.
Those aunts looked Qiu Shaoyang up and down.
Qiu Shaoyang also showed them openly, first Chen Wan expressed his position, and then Mingyao showed around, Qiu Shaoyang had completely regarded himself as a member of the Ming family.
They pulled Qiu Shaoyang to ask questions, and Qiu Shaoyang answered everything impeccably.
Still Mingyao couldn't stand it anymore, and asked Qiu Shaoyang if he could play chess.
Qiu Shaoyang said yes, and he was relieved to play chess with Mingyao.
Mingtang was also not interested in chatting with them, so he went to play chess with Qiu Shaoyang and his father.
Ming Tang doesn't know how to play chess, but Qiu Shaoyang knows how to play chess. He used to play chess with his grandfather occasionally.
After grandpa retired, he liked to play chess. When grandma was around, they often played Go, and there was a set of good chessboards given by Daofeng at home.
But for someone as smart as Qiu Shaoyang, his understanding is much better than ordinary people.
Therefore, when playing chess with Mingyao, he always had reservations.
But Mingyao saw it, and Mingyao said to him: "Show me your true strength, don't let me, there is no falsehood between us."
So Qiu Shaoyang didn't continue to pretend, but he didn't show his full strength, so that Mingyao didn't lose too badly.
In this way, Mingyao will not lose face too much, and he can know that Qiu Shaoyang is really good.
During dinner, Mingmei and Zhao Xinliang who had gone out to play also came back.
Chen Wan asked them: "Stay home to sleep tonight?"
Ming Tang shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't do it today, I have to go to work tomorrow."
Chen Wan could only sigh, feeling sorry for it.
But she can't help it, her son is a policeman, and work is very important.
After dinner, Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang were going back to Spring City.
Chen Wan and the others went downstairs to see them off.
Before leaving, Chen Wan and Mingyao gave Qiu Shaoyang another big red envelope.
This is the first time Qiu Shaoyang came to the door. According to the custom, they were all given red envelopes.
However, the two red envelopes in Qiu Shaoyang's hand were extraordinarily thick.
It wasn't too late to return to Spring City, Mingtang and the others made up their minds, went back to the house Mingtang bought, and when they passed by the Municipal Bureau, they even bought some food for them.
Lu Changfeng was on the night shift and was moved by their warmth late at night.
Ask him: "You went home with Consultant Qiu today, is everything going well?"
Ming Tang nodded: "Everything is going well."
Lu Changfeng drank his coffee and said, "That's good."
Mingtang: "It's getting late, we're going back to rest."
"Go back quickly."
Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang left the police station and went home.
When he got home, Qiu Shaoyang lay on the bed and didn't want to move.
Ming Tang sat beside him, stroking his hair: "Tired?"
Qiu Shaoyang nodded: "I'm a little tired."
"Take a bath and go to bed." Mingtang kissed Qiu Shaoyang: "I'll get you some water."
Qiu Shaoyang hummed.
Thinking back on what happened during this period, he really felt that he and Mingtang were getting along very smoothly.
As if arranged by heaven, there was no resistance at all, Mingtang's parents accepted him very much, and his own family also accepted Mingtang very much.
There have been basically no setbacks since they fell in love, and the happiness that was incomprehensible before can be understood now.
Mingtang came out of the bathroom, helped Qiu Shaoyang find his pajamas, and returned to Qiu Shaoyang's side: "Baby, you can go take a bath."
Qiu Shaoyang hooked Mingtang's neck: "Wash for me."
Mingtang smiled lightly, and picked him up: "As long as you're not afraid of me eating your tofu, I'll be happy."
When I came out of the bathroom again, it was already 10 minutes later.
Mingtang draws the curtains and goes to bed, and lays down beside Shaoyang.
Now he is quite used to it, and he stretched out his arm to Qiu Shaoyang when he got into bed.
Qiu Shaoyang climbed up to the Ming Hall and asked, "When are you going to have sex with me?"
"You are the first time, we need the right time."
Qiu Shaoyang was puzzled: "What kind of time is the right time."
Mingtang said: "A time when you can lie in bed for days without getting out of bed."
"No one doesn't want to have someone they love, and I really want to, but love is more about restraint, and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable about this matter." Mingtang wrapped the two of them in a quilt, and said: "Grandpa Now that you are not in good health, you have to leave your time to Grandpa, it is inappropriate to do those things to you at this time."
Qiu Shaoyang was no longer obsessed with this matter.
After the Lantern Festival, and in the new year, Ming Tang was relatively busy, and Qiu Shaoyang was the same. Several big projects at the end of the year were started at the beginning of the year. He was so busy in the company every day, and Ming Tang was even more so, with cases one after another.
The old man's health is gradually getting worse. He used to be able to take a walk in the yard with a cane, but he can no longer do it after the new year. Walking requires someone to push a wheelchair.
The old man didn't want to cause trouble to others, so he seldom went out for a walk, so when Qiu Shaoyang rested at home on Saturdays and weekends, he would accompany the old man to walk on the court in the backyard.
As for some memories from the past, I can remember more and more clearly.
It was another weekend, and the old man asked Qiu Shaoyang to take him to the cemetery to meet his family members and visit their graves.
Because Mingtang has a case, he has not seen Qiu Shaoyang for several days.
Qiu Shaoyang and Pei Yumin took the old man to the cemetery together.
By the end of the month, the old man's health was getting worse and worse. Before, he could write in the study in his spare time, but now he can no longer hold a brush, and his hands are not so strong when eating.
Qiu Shaoyang has been living at home, and his private doctor has been accompanying him all the time, so Qiu Shaoyang knows the actual condition of the old man's health.
The doctor also told him to make preparations as soon as possible, and the old man would last another month at most.Therefore, no matter what request he puts forward at this time, Qiu Shaoyang will try his best to satisfy it, and he does not want to leave any regrets in his grandfather's life.
The weather on the day we went to the cemetery was pretty good.
Qiu Shaoyang pushed the old man, and Pei Youmin followed behind, holding the things needed for worship.
There was no Jasmine in this season, but Pei Yoomin still got Jasmine.
Jasmine isn't really pretty, but it's elegant and fragrant, which is Qiu Shaoyang's grandma's preference.
Therefore, in the Qiu family's garden, there are only jasmines, and they are all planted by my grandfather, and all the pruning is done by myself.
The tombstone of the Qiu family will be cleaned every month.
Stopping in front of the tomb, the old man looked at the photo of his deceased wife on the tombstone. He said to Qiu Shaoyang, "I feel that I am getting closer to your grandma recently."
Qiu Shaoyang half-kneeled in front of the old man.
The old man took Qiu Shaoyang's hand and said, "I'm afraid I won't have a chance if I don't say something."
Qiu Shaoyang's eyes suddenly misted, and he choked up and said, "Grandpa."
"Good boy." The old man held Qiu Shaoyang's hand tightly: "You have to promise grandpa that no matter what happens in the future, you will live a good life. Grandpa Qilin Real Estate will leave it to you. You have to remember that Qilin Real Estate It’s not just our Qiu family’s enterprise, there are tens of thousands of families behind it. Without their dedication and hard work, Kirin Real Estate would not be where it is today. I don’t ask how powerful Kirin Real Estate will be in the future. No. [-] in China, my only appeal is to not treat those employees who have paid for us badly. Your grandma is practicing medicine to save lives, and the doctors are benevolent. She must also hope that you can always remember that our Kirin Real Estate is a national enterprise, not a capital. enterprise."
"Grandpa, don't worry."
"Okay." The old man said to Qiu Shaoyang and Pei Yumin: "You go to other places to stay for a while, I want to stay with your grandma and the others for a while."
Qiu Shaoyang was afraid that something would happen, but he was still pulled away by Pei Yumin.
The two stood 50 meters away.
Qiu Shaoyang's gaze was still on the old man.
Pei Yumin said: "Don't worry too much, the old man is just afraid that there will be no chance to visit their graves again in the future."
Qiu Shaoyang couldn't bear to look any longer, and turned his head to look at the city.
Pei Yumin asked Qiu Shaoyang: "Do you know why the old man chose this place as the cemetery?"
Qiu Shaoyang shook his head.
Pei Yumin pointed to it and said, "That direction is the office building of our Kylin Real Estate. At night, when the signboard of Kylin Real Estate is lit, you can see it clearly here."
Qiu Shaoyang looked in the direction he pointed, and found that he could still see it, but it was too far away and unclear, and he hadn't noticed it before.The main reason is that when I left, I always lowered my head and was sad, so I didn't look in that direction.
Pei Yumin said: "This is facing the most prosperous place in Chuncheng. The construction of Chuncheng is indispensable for the construction of Qilin Real Estate. For grandparents, Chuncheng is more like a child raised by them, so they are full of expectations for this city. It is getting better and better, and I hope that Qilin Real Estate will get better and better. They want to be here to see the prosperity of Spring City, and see that we can all be safe and happy. Shaoyang, death is not terrible, they are always by our side."
Qiu Shaoyang just nodded and didn't answer.
Death is not scary, but knowing that one's relatives are about to die, but one can't do anything, that's scary.
After waiting for about 10 minutes, Qiu Shaoyang and Pei Yumin passed by. The old man finally reached out and touched the photos of each relative on the tombstone one by one, and then said to them: "Go home."
On the way back, the old man specially asked them to go around the old street of Chuncheng. Many places in the old street are not the same as before, but the roads of the old street have not changed, and they are still the same as before.
Qiu Shaoyang knew that there was a hospital in the old street, and grandma worked in the hospital. Grandpa would come to pick up grandma from get off work every day, rain or shine. Although everything had changed, the experience he had with grandma was true.
After returning home, the old man locked himself in the study, even Qiu Shaoyang couldn't get in.
At dinner, the old man came out to have dinner as usual.
It was rare for Mingtang to be free, so he came back to have dinner with Qiu Shaoyang and the others.
After the meal, the two of them sat on the balcony sofa upstairs and looked through the old photo albums. Ming Tang said, "Grandpa's complexion doesn't look very good."
Qiu Shaoyang looked a little tired: "Yes, the doctor said, let's get ready, Grandpa doesn't have many days left, maybe he won't last until March and a half."
Mingtang took Qiu Shaoyang into his arms: "I will be with you."
Qiu Shaoyang hummed, tears fell down completely uncontrollably, Qiu Shaoyang raised his hand to wipe them away.
"I really hope that the jasmine flowers will bloom earlier this year."
In this way, grandpa may still see this year's jasmine bloom.
Mingtang comforted him: "I will see."
Qiu Shaoyang said: "I know that grandpa is also waiting for the jasmine to bloom. He planted it himself. What he cares most about is the jasmine in this garden."
