etc. During the Chinese New Year, what impressed me the most was actually the word "wait".
The clock pointed to 6 o'clock in the evening, and the thirty nights of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner had been put on the table, and grandma went out to look at it for a while, picked up ** for a while to ask, and urged us to contact us quickly, and shouted in her mouth, "Why haven't you returned, why haven't you returned......”
No old man spoke, and no one moved chopsticks. Everyone watched TV, chatted about family life, and waited for their cousin who returned from Shenzhen.
The reunion dinner is all here every year, and this year is no exception, so let's wait. Grandma comforted us while being anxious, saying, "I'll have to wait if anyone doesn't come back!" ”
Grandma's words seemed to be a bit "there are no silver three hundred taels here", and we all laughed, and grandma laughed too. In the midst of laughter, the door opened, and the cousin pushed the door in.
The first one to greet her was naturally grandma, and I saw her old man wave her hand, pat her cousin on the shoulder, and muttered, "Ghost cub, just come back, we are all waiting for you." ”
Before he even put down the backpack, the cousin, who was nearly 1.8 meters old, hugged his grandmother into his arms, kissed his grandmother's face affectionately, and then dropped the backpack, took out a red envelope from his underwear pocket, and solemnly handed it to his grandmother ......
Grandma took the red envelope with a happy smile on her face. This smile has been flashing in my dreams for many years after my grandmother's death: the folds on my grandmother's old face suddenly twisted into the most brilliant flower in the world.
I remember quietly asking my grandmother if she smiled so brightly when she got her grandson's red envelope, if she smiled so happily when she got her grandson's hug, and if she was ......My grandmother interrupted me and said, "It's not at all, it's the whole family reunion, I'm happy!" ”
It's a family reunion, how many expectations, how many desires, how many dreams are contained here, and these entangled moods are summed up together, in fact, it is nothing more than one word - etc. It is because there is endless concern in the word "wait", because there is emotional entanglement in the word "wait", and because there is joy in the word "wait", so that the word "wait" contains too much love.
Grandma waited for the children and grandchildren to return. Those "often go home to see" on weekdays are far from this rich festive atmosphere, or a filial piety, or a kind of attribution, even if it is thousands of miles, but also to return to grandma's side at this time - this is the bond of "close seams" that any grandmother or mother in the world has, and it is also the persistence of children and grandchildren "Yan goes to Yan and returns, meaningless thatched eaves".
The word "wait" is a full stop at the end of the year. When the reunion is reunited, this full stop is drawn very round, and if it is missing, this full stop is indebted, and this feeling has become more and more intense in the family affection of the Chinese nation that "blood is thicker than water"; Because "good men are ambitious in all directions", there is "Are you okay in another country?" "The soul is haunted by dreams; Because there is a career of "three feet of soil in life, where is not at home", it leads to the idea of "thinking about relatives every festival", for this reason, I would rather keep a reunion agreement, even if the dishes on the table are hot again, even if the cold wine is warmed again, as long as the bell rings in the Chinese New Year's Eve, such a wait - is a happy reunion.
Whether it is family affection or friendship, this one word is the heavy weight in the heart. Whether it's waiting for a flight delay or waiting for a train to be delayed, whether it's waiting for a late appointment or waiting for a courtesy visit, all of them are not so insistent and tangled in the heart of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
In today's increasingly abundant supplies, people no longer ask "Have you eaten?" when they meet. The cheesy greeting was, "Is your son back?" "Has your husband arrived home?" When answering, he always showed a smile on his face and said "I'm back", in fact, the words of this inquiry were concerned about the confusion of the word "wait", and the answer was a relief of the word "wait". The word "wait" is like a five-flavor bottle mixed in the atmosphere of the New Year, so that the frustrated wait is a little sour, so that the realization of the wait is sweeter, in short, a "wait" word rhymes the New Year's flavor, sour and sweet ......
