Chapter 166 In front of the hero’s grave
Chapter 166 In front of the hero’s grave
Lord Gu and others never forget An Yuan and always think about how to take revenge on An Yuan.
But An Yuan really didn't see them in his eyes.
They were probably like mosquitoes to Anyuan. When mosquitoes buzzed in her ears, she would slap them to death. When mosquitoes didn't appear, she wouldn't even think about such things.
After she took Xiaojiu out of the kindergarten, she went to the hospital to visit her grandparents.
The old man was chatting with An Jingwei. He was very happy when he saw his two precious granddaughters coming over. The family had lunch in the ward and had a good time.
When the two elderly people were about to take a lunch break, the children left.
An Jingwei's van was left for the hired workers in the countryside to transport vegetables and poultry to the restaurant. He was not here at the moment, so An Yuan first sent Xiao Jiu to the restaurant, and then sent his elder brother back to Niujiao Village, planning to stay in his hometown for one night.
It was not yet five o'clock in the afternoon when the two arrived at Niujiao Village.
The sun is still a little hot, but not that hot anymore.
Ji Yue was dressed like a village woman, wearing a straw hat, an ordinary light-colored cotton shirt, black cotton pants and ordinary flat sandals. She did not wear makeup or jewelry. Her hair was tied up in a bunch randomly. She was not as beautiful as she usually looked. Bright, but still naturally beautiful, beautiful and down-to-earth.
She was very happy to see An Jingwei back and asked expectantly: "Are you making dinner?"
An Jingwei nodded: "I'm going to pick vegetables now."
Anyuan and Jiyue followed him into the vegetable field and picked what they liked.
Ji Yue couldn't wait to say: "I must eat spicy and sour water spinach stems and sweet potato leaves tonight. You can do whatever you want with the rest."
The two vegetarian dishes An Jingwei stir-fried were so delicious that they went perfectly with polenta or white rice porridge. She felt her mouth was tasteless after not eating them for a day.
She was even a little worried that when these two dishes were out of season, she wouldn't be able to eat them...
An Yuan also said: "The weather is too hot, so I am also a vegetarian."
Half the reason why she actively and enthusiastically sent her eldest brother back to the village was because she wanted to eat vegetables picked directly from the ground.
This time she chose eggplant and bok choy.
An Jingwei thought for a while: "It won't work without meat, so I'll make a lemon duck dish."
Although it is easy to get tired of eating duck meat in summer, lemon duck uses sour ingredients such as sour lemon, sour clam, sour pepper, sour bamboo shoots, sour ginger, sour plum, etc., which makes it quite appetizing.
An Yuan wanted to drool after hearing this. She clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, I'll help you cook."
An Jingwei went to the duck shed on the other side of the flower ramp, picked out a big fat duck, took it home and killed it.
Anyuan and Jiyue were in the kitchen washing, twisting, chopping, killing water, etc., and preparing the corresponding seasonings.
Of the dishes I'm going to make tonight, the lemon duck requires a little effort, and the others can be cooked in just a few minutes.
When An Jingwei was stir-frying the lemon duck over high heat, the overflowing aroma of the meat and the sour smell of the ingredients attracted Mu Sheng and Dashan, who were studying the evening shots outside the house, to run in and circle around the stove.
"The taste is so tempting! It's sour and spicy, and it can whet your appetite even in summer."
"You don't have to eat it to know that this dish is delicious. Hey, why isn't this dish on your restaurant's menu?"
An Jingwei smiled: "In business, you can't serve all the good dishes at one go. It's best to introduce some new dishes every once in a while, so as to attract customers to the greatest extent."
Mu Sheng and Dashan both praised: "Brilliant."
Not long after, the big fat duck, which weighed six kilograms, was piled into a mountain on a large plate with plenty of ingredients. Everyone wanted to drool regardless of the image.
Although the duck meat is a bit fat, after the fat is fried to release the oil, the duck meat is not so greasy.
Everyone feasted.
The men ate it with Anjia's home-brewed rice wine, which was a real pleasure.
An Jingwei ate too much home-cooked delicacies and was not greedy. After eating eight cents full, he said: "You guys eat slowly, I will go to the cemetery to have a look and fence it off."
Ji Yue was used to being on a diet and eating less. She didn't eat much, and even after eating here she felt very full. She touched her slightly bulging belly and said, "I'll go take a look with you and eat in the meantime."
The remaining three people continued to eat.
There's still half a plate of lemon duck left. It would be a waste if we don't finish it.
Ji Yue followed An Jingwei and walked toward the end of the vegetable field.
At the end of the vegetable field is a barren mountain, and between the barren mountains is a barren land overgrown with weeds. No one comes here all year round.
There is a special small slope among them.
The soil slope is covered with green pines and some wild chrysanthemums, dandelions, camellias, peach blossoms and other flowers and plants suitable for outdoor planting. There is also a path extending from the vegetable field to the top of the slope.
At first glance, the scenery on this small slope is very good.
But on the top of the slope, there are three tombs.
When Ji Yue walked here for the first time, she was immediately attracted by the slope. She wanted to walk around on the slope a few times, but when she got closer, she discovered that there was a tomb on the top of the slope, and there was no one around. She was frightened. Leave quickly and never dare to come back again.
It wasn't until the crew was preparing to close the location that An Jingwei emphasized: "The martyrs of Anjia are buried on the slope over the vegetable field. You must not destroy any plants or trees there, nor disturb their sleep."
He also said: "You prepare the fence, and I will fence the slope myself."
When the crew learned that An Jingwei's three uncles had all died in the Great Patriotic War, they were shocked and said that they would definitely protect the hero's resting place.
When Ji Yue knew that the relatives and martyrs of the An family were buried here, she was no longer afraid.
She followed An Jingwei and walked up the dirt slope along the bluestone path.
An Jingwei pulls out any taller weeds whenever he sees them.
Ji Yue asked him: "Did you plant all these pine trees and flowers?"
An Jingwei said: "My grandparents planted the pine trees and peach blossoms, and I planted the others. My grandparents said they sleep well only when they sleep in a place with flowers and green pines."
Ji Yue opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't. She just felt that nothing was appropriate.
An Jingwei spoke again: "My grandparents said that they must be buried here after they die, and they will accompany their three sons to see how beautiful the land they defended with their lives is."
He spoke very calmly.
But Ji Yue's eyes turned red for some reason.
The two quickly reached the top of the slope.
The three tombs are built with stones, and a one-meter-wide isolation belt is paved with bluestone slabs around them.
Ji Yue saw the tombstones engraved with "The Tomb of An Aiguo, the eldest son An Xiaoping and Sun Mei loved deeply", "The Tomb of An Qingguo, the second son An Xiaoping and Sun Mei loved deeply" and "The Tomb of An Baoguo, the third son An Xiaoping and Sun Mei loved deeply".
In addition, each tombstone also records "An Aiguo sacrificed his life in the Patriotic War at the age of 23", "An Qingguo sacrificed his life in the Patriotic War at the age of 21" and "An Baoguo sacrificed his life in the Patriotic War at the age of 22". .
Ji Yue was shocked.
She was born in a city with a good family background. She has never been to the battlefield or experienced war.
But she had made war movies and had an in-depth understanding of the wars of that era. She also played a female soldier who died in the war in that movie, for which she received the first Best Actress trophy in her life.
When she was filming that movie, she was totally into it.
At this moment, she felt the state of mind she had when she was filming that movie again, and she felt a deep respect for the three heroes.
She took a few steps forward, took off her straw hat, put it on her left chest, and bowed deeply to the first tombstone.
Then she walked to the second tombstone and bowed deeply with the same courtesy.
The same goes for the third tombstone.
An Jingwei looked at her in surprise.
The afterglow of the setting sun cast over her side, coating her with a hazy golden light. In this hazy golden light, her posture was upright, her expression was solemn, and her eyes showed respect from the heart.
When she looked up, An Jingwei even saw tears in her eyes.
At this moment, something seemed to touch the string deep in his heart, making his eyes become gentle and deep.
Previously, Ji Yue was just a guest with a special status. His impression was not bad, but there was nothing special about him.
But now, he felt that the woman in front of him was so different. She not only had an outstanding body, but also had a respectable soul.
