The Spring of the Cow "Flowers"

"I can only go up from this place?" Yunji looked up at the uphill road with footprints in front of him, feeling very worried.

"Well, this is the closest road." Niu Weijun scratched his head, the road to his father's grave was not easy, how could he forget about it.

"Okay, you go ahead, slow down, be careful, I'll support you behind you." It's all here, and it's hard to justify going back here.

Niu Weijun nodded, stepped into the first pit with his right foot, grabbed the tree roots next to him and began to climb up.

When the two of them climbed up a relatively gentle slope without any risk, a layer of sweat fell down Yunji's back.If he slipped and fell here, what would happen to the child in his belly, he didn't dare to think about it...

"Okay, just walk a little further and we'll be there." Niu Weijun felt Yunji trembling in his hand, and felt a bit of comfort.It's strange to say that since he is such a grown-up man, he has lived well in the past when he was alone for so many years, but lately he always makes Yunji worry about him.

"Okay." Yunji wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued to support Niu Weijun to move forward.

After turning a small turn, Yunji saw the words "Niu Dashan" impressively written on the nearest tombstone.

"It's here." Niu Weijun stepped forward, took the small bucket and plastic bag from Yunji and put them on the ground, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and poured it in, soaked the rag, and began to scrub the tombstone.

After Yunji finished reading the words on the tombstone, he saw Niu Weijun bending over to wipe the tombstone in a blink of an eye, and hurried up.

"I'm coming, you go and rest."

"No, it will be finished in a while. I can't squat down, you put the incense burner, candles, oh, and the lamp." Niu Weijun smiled and shook his head.

"How did our father get there?" Yunji asked while working.

"Cerebral hemorrhage, it will die before being sent to the hospital. My dad has high blood pressure, and he doesn't usually take medicine well. He often complains of headaches."

Yunji looked up at the portrait on the tombstone. There were not many similarities between the facial features of the person in the portrait and Niu Weijun, only the shadow of father and son could be vaguely seen in the deep figure and thick lips.I don't know what happened when this photo was taken, but Dad Niu was very angry and extremely unkind.

"Okay, go and set off the firecrackers, go to the side where there is no grass, don't start a fire." Niu Weijun patted the ashes on his hands and stood up straight.

"Well, you hide and cover your ears." Yunji recalled in his heart that Grandma Niu specially instructed him to go to the grave before leaving, took out a small hanging firecracker from the bag, and walked away to light the fuse.

"Dad! I brought the guards to see you!" Amidst the thunderous sound of firecrackers, Yunji yelled at the tombstone as Grandma Niu taught him.

As the firecrackers sounded, Niu Weijun lit the paper and put it in the brazier. Yunji spread a small mat on the open space in front of the tombstone, and knelt down reverently holding three sticks of incense.

"Dad! My name is Yunji, the cloud of Baiyun, the collection of Ji. You may not know me, but I am Yunfan's father. Oh, Yunfan is the son of Wei Jun and me, and he is 16 years old this year. It's too far away , I made a mistake when I was young and made you worry about us. I apologize to you. Let him pass the past. Today I am here to tell you that I like Wei Jun and I am with him! Don't worry, I will love and take care of him for the rest of my life!" After speaking, Yunji solemnly kowtowed three times, put the incense in the incense burner, and then got up.

"Dad, he and I came to see you. I know you hate me like this. I used to listen to you, but this time, I want to be the master. I really like Yunji, and I want to be with him Just this time, I hope you can fulfill me." When Yunji spoke and kowtowed, Niu Weijun was also thinking silently in his heart.

"Honey, it's your turn. Say something to my dad." Yunji lit the incense and waved to Niu Weijun.

Niu Weijun knelt down on the mat with Yunji's support.After receiving the incense, he cleared his throat, supported his stomach, and opened his mouth slowly.

"Dad, I'm sorry I didn't come to see you during the Ching Ming Festival. I didn't feel well after I had a baby at that time, so it was really inconvenient."

"Yunfan didn't come to school, so we are the three of us who came to see you today. Please bless our family safe and sound, bless your grandson to get into an ideal school for the college entrance examination, bless Yunji's work smoothly, and bless me with good luck in opening my shop."

"Well, it's not convenient for me to kowtow to you right now, so let Yunji kowtow to you instead!" Niu Weijun asked Yunji to take the incense and insert it, and after helping him up from the ground, Yunji followed his words and kowtowed neatly three heads.

The two of them returned to the car along the original road after all the fire paper was burnt.Because the Niu's house was still under construction, the two didn't stay in the village, and drove directly to the town to find a hotel to rest.

"What are you laughing at?" Niu Weijun asked Yunji, who had been smiling since he got in the car.

"Baby, I suddenly feel that your words are sometimes suffocating."

"Choke?" Niu Weijun rubbed his stomach and asked back. Maybe it was because of too much physical activity up and down the mountain just now, and the child in his stomach is now a little noisy.

"Yeah, I thought it was rude of me to call 'Dad' cheekily when I came up, but it's good for you, it's our child. Dad doesn't want to see you have a child. It's a bit uncomfortable to be so blunt all of a sudden. Like you."

"Then there is no way, I have it, I'm just telling the truth!" Niu Weijun blushed slightly, and turned his head to look out the car window.

"I know, our big cow is speaking for me! You are afraid that Dad will not agree with us, so you are so stubborn, right?" Yunji stretched out his right hand and grabbed Niu Weijun's hand on his knee.

Niu Weijun...

"...You know everything, why ask?" After a long time, Niu Weijun said slowly.

"You!" Yunji's chest was bubbling with warmth from the inside out, if a husband is like this, what more could he ask for?

Taking care of the child in Niu Weijun's stomach, the two stayed in the town for another day, and only took the train back to City A on the afternoon of the fourth day.

As soon as he got off the train, Niu Weijun couldn't wait to ask Li Mu to drive him to the store.It will officially open next week. I don't know how the store is preparing.

From a distance, Niu Weijun saw the words "Daniu's shop" on the signboard.Regarding the name of the store, Yunjijia also held several family meetings.Yunfan proposed the name "Bullish", which sounds domineering; Tian Chao thinks the name "very bullish" is simple and easy to remember; Grandma Niu nominates "Junjun Restaurant"; hesitated between.Niu Weijun thought about whoever's suggestion and didn't accept it, so he mentioned the name "Daniu's shop" by himself.Ever since they were pregnant with their child, Yunji and his son have been almost obedient to Niu Weijun. Hearing Niu Weijun's proposal, the two quickly applauded to show their support.So "Daniu's store" was determined as the final store name.

Get out of the car and walk into the store, Grandma Niu and Tao Congrou are both in the front hall.Grandma Niu is instructing the workers to hang up the paintings on the wall, and Tao Congrou is teaching the newly recruited cashier girl how to use the cash register.

"Are you back?" Seeing the three people at the door, Grandma Niu showed joy.

"En." Niu Weijun nodded.

"Is everything okay all the way? Nothing happened, right?" Grandma Niu looked at Niu Weijun's stomach and asked with concern.

"With me here, what can happen? Mom, don't worry!" Yunji took the old lady's arm and walked inside.

"Did you meet your dad? Have you done everything I taught you?" Grandma Niu asked, obviously still worried about going to the grave.

"Then what you said must have been done properly, and none of the things that should be done have been missed." Yunji took the tea poured by the waiter in the shop, and when he turned around, Niu Weijun had already gone to discuss things with Tao Congrou.

"What did Wei Jun tell his father?"

"Haha Mom, I was just about to tell you. Daniel is so handsome in front of Dad..."

After chatting with Tao Congrou for a few words, Niu Weijun breathed a sigh of relief when he found that all the preparations before the opening had been basically completed, and planned to sit down and rest.

"...It seems that he really likes you!" Niu Weijun heard what Grandma Niu said as soon as he approached.

"What are you talking about?" Seeing Niu Weijun approaching, Yunji stood up and helped to open the chair.

"Ah, I'm talking about Tian Chao's child, who was picked up by his father yesterday. Before leaving, he cried at the door. He is a very emotional child." Grandma Niu has no face to repeat what she just said in front of her son.

"Yes, this kid is not bad in nature, I hope his father can teach him well this time." The implication is to stay away from his uninformed mother.

Niu Weijun nodded in agreement.

"But Tian Chao has moved away, so we can give some relief. I'm really afraid that such a clever kid will see something." Grandma Niu glanced at Niu Weijun's stomach.

Sensing Grandma Niu's gaze, Niu Weijun gathered up his clothes, a little uncomfortable, "Mom, you have watched it several times, and you should be suspicious when you look at others."

"Oh, oh, I don't want to see it? Are you here directly from the airport?"

Hearing that Yunji said that Niu Weijun wanted to come to the store in a hurry after getting out of the car, and he couldn't be stopped, Grandma Niu's expression was not very good.

"Niu Weijun, you have already agreed with me. When there is nothing to do after opening, you can stay at home and rest. If you let me know that you hurt my little grandson, let me see how I will deal with you!"

Seeing that Grandma Niu was angry, Yunji hurriedly smoothed things over, "Yes, yes, I also emphasized to Daniel when I came here, don't worry, Mom, you still have to keep an eye on the shop!"

Afraid that Grandma Niu would continue to chatter, and because he was indeed a little tired, Niu Weijun and Yunji sat for a while and then went home.

Perhaps it was because of the unraveling of the long-standing entanglement, or perhaps because of some unexplainable reasons, the dream that has been troubling Niu Weijun since returning from the grave has never appeared again, and the opening day came in a blink of an eye.Taking into account the passenger flow, Yunji and Niu Weijun decided to open on a Saturday.On that day, the whole family got up early and packed up. Everyone, including Yunfan, drove to "Daniu's shop" in unison.

The flower baskets ordered at the store entrance for today have been arranged neatly on both sides. Niu Weijun doesn't have many friends in City A, so in the flower baskets for the opening celebration, except for those sent by Yang Tiansheng and Tao Congrou, most of the others were bought by Yunji.Niu Weijun walked from one end of the flower basket to the other, and was surprised to find that there was another person he didn't know gave it.

"Who is this?" Niu Weijun asked Yunji, pointing to the words of a certain medical school.

"It's just an irrelevant person..." Yunji felt chills when he thought of a greasy voice on the phone, and he resolutely rejected the doctor's friend's proposal to come to the store to cheer.Just kidding, if he sees that there is another one in Daniel's stomach now, he probably wants his eyeballs to stick to him.

"Oh." Niu Weijun straightened his collar.In order to cover his belly, Yunji chose this white button-up Chinese-style shirt for him. The shirt was loose and loose, paired with black trousers of the same fabric and elasticated.

"Have you remembered everything I taught you? Don't be nervous, just say a few words to make sense." Yunji patted Niu Weijun on the shoulder.

"Ah."

The author has something to say: It's getting cold, and it's almost time for Daniel to unload...
