Early in the morning, Lao Xie drove his low-end Haval H6 to the gate of Xia Haoyang's high-end community and picked up the three of them to go to work.

The weather, which was sunny yesterday, has turned gloomy today.

Within a few minutes, Xia Haoyang, Zeng Jingyi, and Jiang Mengyan appeared in Xie Shujie's sight. Today, the three of them were all dressed formally and modestly.

Xia Haoyang was wearing a black suit prepared for the award ceremony. He was all black, including his shirt. He did not choose white; while Xia Haoyang usually wore casual clothes and down jackets.

Zeng Jingyi was wearing a long black skirt, a thin woolen sweater, and a black waistcoat. It seemed that the whole outfit was a little thin.

Xiao Mengyan did not wear the bright red down jacket she wore just yesterday, but a black windbreaker.

After receiving the three people, they naturally drove towards the company.

"Jingyi, you are a little thin. The weather has changed today and it's quite cold." Hong Ling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Zeng Jingyi through the rearview mirror from time to time and couldn't help but say it.

"That's what I was about to say." Lao Xie also looked at Zeng Jingyi in the rearview mirror.

"Actually, I planned to wear the same black windbreaker as Xiao Mengyan, but this windbreaker was at the company, so I wore it like this. I just walked from home to the car, and it wasn't too cold." Zeng Jingyi explained.

It's also an office, but Zeng Jingyi's room is completely different from Xia Haoyang's.

Xia Haoyang's office has a pure business style, with wide floor-to-ceiling windows, a large desk, a small sofa, and a coffee table, which is suitable for meetings with guests;

The office of Zeng Jingyi and others is actually a rest room, with a single bed, a dressing room and a bathroom. Some of Zeng Jingyi's suits are placed in the company's dressing room, which makes it easier to go out.

Silently all the way, the car drove to Qingfeng Baozi Shop near the company.

"Jingyi and I won't eat here today. Let's buy some buns to pack and take them to Babao Mountain as sacrifices later." Xia Haoyang said.

"Okay." Lao Xie, who parked the car and was about to get out of the car, nodded.

"Then I won't go down. You go and buy it. I'll eat at the company later. Buy me two steamed buns and a bowl of millet porridge." Hong Ling said.

"Brother Xie, I won't go down anymore. Bring me three plain steamed buns. I want vermicelli buns, and a bowl of tofu buns." Xiao Mengyan blinked.

"Okay, I'll bring it to you. You guys wait in the car."

After buying steamed buns and porridge, Lao Xie drove the car downstairs to the company, and the three girls went upstairs.

"Fat man, Wanqi's matter is over. In fact, there is no need to worry about it anymore. Now that you and Jingyi are together, just live your life well." Lao Xie comforted.

"Are you afraid that Jingyi will be jealous or angry with me? Jingyi won't do that." Xia Haoyang smiled confidently.

"Okay, you can handle the emotional matters yourself. Jingyi is a good girl and she loves you wholeheartedly. If you always dwell on the people you lost and ignore the people around you now, I want to say that this is a very stupid thing to do. ”

Lao Xie has never interfered in Xia Haoyang's emotional affairs. Today, these two sentences are the limit. Everyone has a good grasp of the boundaries of friends. They know what should be cared about, what should be said, and what should not be mentioned.

"Don't worry, Lao Xie, I'm sensible. I love Jingyi like crazy now, and I will cherish her."

After the frank exchange between the two, there is no need to talk about this issue anymore. Enough is enough. Lao Xie started to eat his buns.

Zeng Jingyi walked out of the company lobby, wearing a black windbreaker. At first glance, she looked vaguely heroic with short hair. Lao Xie smiled unconsciously, and hurriedly stuffed the buns in his hands into his mouth. .

Zeng Jingyi got into the back row, Xia Haoyang smiled, stretched out a hand to pull Zeng Jingyi to his side, and then the two held their hands tightly.

Facing Xia Haoyang's smile, Zeng Jingyi also smiled confidently. Zeng Jingyi's heart was very calm from beginning to end. She clearly knew how much Xia Haoyang loved her now.

Lao Xie glanced at the affectionate two people in the rearview mirror, shook his head, then with a smile on his face, stepped on the accelerator heavily, and the car sped towards Babao Mountain.

Arriving at the parking lot of Babaoshan, "I'll also go up to pay my respects to Wanqi, so I won't disturb you little lovers." Lao Xie said.

"Of course not, thank you, brother." Xia Haoyang said gratefully.

"What's there to thank you for? We get along well with Wanqi. What do you need my help with? In addition to steamed buns, what else have you prepared?"

"I also prepared some paper money and incense, I can just carry them."

"Give them all to me together, I'll carry it." Lao Xie said goodbye and glanced at Zeng Jingyi.

"Okay, you can take it together. It's not heavy actually." Xia Haoyang handed everything in his hand to Lao Xie knowingly, and then went to hold Zeng Jingyi's hand.

Lao Xie saw the two of them intertwined with their fingers, and Zeng Jingyi was holding a bouquet of flowers in her right hand, so he smiled and said, "Let's go, you two lead the way."

The three of them came to Tang Wanqi's tomb in Babaoshan. Without saying anything or making any deliberate arrangements, Xia Haoyang and Zeng Jingyi began to divide their work.

Xia Haoyang pulled weeds around the cemetery, and Zeng Jingyi wiped the white jade marble steps in front of the tombstone clean. Then she took the flowers and the few buns and porridge she bought in the morning from Lao Xie's hand and placed them in front of the tombstone.

Lao Xie just stood aside and watched. He didn't do anything like this. He occasionally looked at people worshiping in other places in the distance.

"You can also burn paper and incense, but you can't set off cannons. It's not much different from our hometown." Lao Xie looked around and said with emotion.

"Burning paper and incense will also pollute the environment, but after all, this has been a tradition in China for thousands of years. People are already complaining about not being allowed to set off firecrackers. Burning paper and incense to pay homage to relatives cannot be completely banned."

"Isn't this feudal superstition?"

"How should I put it? In essence, it does belong, but it is more of an inheritance of traditional customs and a simple view of nature. Foreigners always say that we Chinese have no faith. In fact, we do have faith and respect our ancestors. Worship and support for one’s relatives are the truest beliefs of us Chinese people.”

"Compared with Westerners' belief in Jesus Christ, Muhammad, and Buddha; compared with Japanese people's awe and worship of mountains, rivers, and ghosts; I feel that our Chinese people's reverence for ancestors and relatives is more real and meaningful."

It didn't take long for Xia Haoyang to clean up the weeds, and Zeng Jingyi also arranged the sacrifices neatly and burned some paper and incense.

All three of them lit three incense sticks, bowed gently to the tombstone three times, and then placed the incense sticks on the tomb.

There was no other ceremony. Xia Haoyang took a cold bun from the sacrifice and chewed it. Zeng Jingyi also took out a bun from the sacrifice placed in front of the tombstone and chewed it gently.
