Tang Lan paused for a moment, and then said: "Ah Xu has been smart since he was a child, and his road, like everyone else, was paved early. ”

Her tone was faint, and she paused again at this point. When Song Yu thought she would continue to speak, she suddenly smiled faintly and said, "His character ...... I never thought he would be in business. ”

She fell silent at this, looked sideways at the dim light outside the window, and did not speak again.

Song Yu had a lot of doubts about why Tang Xu would engage in business, knowing that this topic was not suitable for continuation, he still couldn't hold back, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, why did Tang Xu engage in business?"

If Tang Xu didn't engage in business, probably she wouldn't have run away from marriage, let alone many things in the back right. He became a businessman, and it was not only his life and destiny that changed.

Tang Lan came back to his senses and put the cup in his hand on the small table. The sad emotion in his eyes was put away, and he swept Tang Xu's figure at the card table, and said, "Wait for him to tell you himself later." ”

She refused to say that Song Yu naturally couldn't ask anymore, nodded and didn't speak again. She knew very well in her heart that it was almost impossible to wait for Tang Xu to tell her.

No matter why he was in business, curiosity aside, he had nothing to do with her now.

Although they hadn't seen each other a few times, Tang Lan should have seen that there was a problem between her and Tang Xu, and said, "You and Ah Xu are husband and wife, what can you communicate more." Don't keep things to yourself. If you encounter something on the old house, tell him and let him make a decision. ”

She told her vaguely that in this old mansion, the only person she could trust was Tang Xu.

She revealed a lot of news to Song Yu tonight, Song Yu nodded, and said thank you to her aunt.

Tang Lan's face was a little tired, and after sitting for a while, he got up and went upstairs to rest. Song Yu was left alone to sit by the window in a daze.

In the midst of laughter, her heart was inexplicably heavy, her mind was empty, and she didn't even know when Tang Xu sat opposite her. It wasn't until he reached out and knocked on the table that she came to her senses.

He actually withdrew from the card table, and Song Yu originally thought that he would play late into the night.

After she came back to her senses, Tang Xu took out a cigarette and smoked it, glanced at her, and said, "Why do you think so obsessed?"

His tone was nonchalant, apparently just a casual question.

Song Yu shook his head and said, "I didn't think about anything." ”

After sitting for a while, her body stiffened a little, and she moved slightly.

She didn't say anything and didn't ask anymore, after sitting for a while, she raised her wrist to look at the time, stood up, and said, "Come out with me." ”

Outside was cold and didn't know what he was going to do, Song Yuhu glanced at him suspiciously, and when he saw him get up and go outside, he had to follow him out.

The two were silent, and no one noticed them.

Outside, fireworks are placed under the eaves of the porch, waiting for the children to come out to play at the party. When he got outside, Tang Xu bent over and hugged two boxes of fireworks and walked outside.

Although Song Yu didn't know what he was selling, he still followed out.

The outside of Chinese New Year's Eve was deserted and lively, with no one and only the sound of fireworks.

Tang Xu stopped when he reached the door and put down the fireworks. took out a lighter and handed it to Song Yu, saying, "Try one?"

He actually took her out to set off fireworks. I don't know what I'm smoking.

Song Yu is not a child anymore and has no heart for playing, so he stepped aside and said, "I won't let go." ”

Tang Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you usually quite bold?"

Song Yu was silent.

He didn't force her, kicked the fireworks forward, raised his wrist to look at the time, and bent down to light the fireworks.

After lighting it, he retreated to Song Yu's side, and said as the fireworks burst into the air, "Happy New Year." ”

His tone was steady, less of his usual hanging.

Song Yu didn't expect him to say such a word to himself, but he was stunned for a moment, and then he also said in the sound of fireworks: "Happy New Year." ”

As her words fell, the fireworks in the courtyard burst into the air. Children's laughter filled this cold Chinese New Year's Eve. Song Yu was slightly in a trance.

The two of them stood quietly outside, waiting for the fireworks to finish, and Tang Xu stepped forward to light another box. At this time, the sound of fireworks blooming in the vicinity drowned out all the sounds.

The fireworks bloomed in the air for a long time, and when the fireworks were finished, Tang Xu looked sideways at Song Yu, who was still looking at the sky, and asked, "Is it cold?"

His tone was gentle. This has never been done before.

Song Yu was slightly stunned, remembering what he asked that night, and couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart. He was like he was giving her a handout.

The expression on her face was blurry in the dim light, and it took a moment before she replied, "It's not cold." She didn't stay any longer, and continued, "Go in." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Tang Xu to answer, he walked into the courtyard.

Tang Xu stood outside for a while, and then followed her to the courtyard.

When the two of them entered, the children were still in the yard, and when someone saw them coming in from outside, he immediately asked, "Little uncle, where have you and your little aunt gone?"

The child is a big ghost, and the two of them are like dating.

Tang Xu's face did not change at all, and he smiled slightly and said, "Secret." ”

The children immediately started to coax, and they kept shouting. Tang Xu didn't bother to take care of them, and walked straight to the house. It wasn't until I got to the living room that I was able to isolate the commotion.

When the two of them went out, although others didn't notice Wen Yi, they noticed it, and when they saw Song Yu coming in, they smiled at her.

Obviously there is nothing wrong, but Song Yu is quite uncomfortable. Reached out and touched his nose. I went to help with supper.

There are dumplings and wine-stuffed dumplings for supper, and everyone doesn't have to sit anymore after the New Year. Those who want to play continue to play, and those who want to rest can also rest.

Song Yu went upstairs after eating half a bowl of wine-stuffed dumplings, thinking that Tang Xu would continue to play cards, but he didn't play again, and he followed him back to the room not long after Song Yu returned to the room.

Song Yu was quite surprised to see him come back, he was quite popular among a group of relatives, and I don't know how he said that if he didn't play, he wouldn't play.

As if he hadn't seen her surprised eyes, Tang Xu quickly went to wash, and then lay down on the bed. The later he went to bed, the more he couldn't sleep, so he took out the magazine and flipped through it.

Song Yu also couldn't sleep when she went to bed after washing, but it was embarrassing to sit so much, she was about to lie on the bed, when she heard Tang Xu ask, "When will you go to work?"

The time at work is uniform, and he has nothing to say.

Everyone asked and couldn't help but answer, and Song Yu answered the time now.

Tang Xu sighed, and said: "When I got married, I didn't have time to go on my honeymoon, is there any place you want to go, take advantage of the holiday to take you there." If you don't have enough time, don't you still have annual leave? ”

He's really giving alms.

Song Yu lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and said, "It's cold, I don't want to go anywhere." ”

She refused without thinking about it.

Tang Xu raised his eyebrows, sighed, and said, "Then the weather is warm, let's go." ”

Song Yu was silent now.

originally thought that I would stay here in the old house until the third year of junior high school before I could go back, but on the first day of junior high school, Aunt Tang and relatives left one after another. Tang's mother didn't keep them, and asked them to be busy with them when they had anything to do in the second year of junior high school. Come back later when you have time.

Although Grandma Tang likes to be noisy, the old house has been very noisy these days, and she is already a little weak in spirit and needs to recuperate.

Song Yu naturally couldn't ask for it, and he didn't care what Tang Xu did, so he bought a gift and went to Song Mian's house after returning from the old mansion.

Compared with the bustle of the Tang family, Song Mian's house is deserted. But there's a little more, and there's a little more lively laughter.

Song Ting was very happy to see Song, and trotted up to meet him. Song Yu gave him the gift he brought, and after accompanying him for a while, he went to talk to Zhao Ran and Song Zhiqin.

She just came from the Tang family, and the topic naturally couldn't leave there. Zhao Ran was worried about whether she was angry in the Tang family, so she inquired around the corner.

In the past, when Song Zhiyuan was there, this marriage was a good match, but now it is becoming more and more mismatched. Although I think Tang Xuren is not bad, there are many things that need to be faced. She is no longer optimistic about this marriage.

Song Yu naturally reported good news but not bad news, saying that everything was fine.

Zhao Ran was happy that she came over in advance, and after sitting for a while, she went to the kitchen to get busy. Song Yu sat with Song Zhiqin for a while, and after answering such and such questions, he also went to the kitchen to help.

Zhao Ran didn't let her help, but in the end, she had to let her go. After hesitating for a long time, he said: "Ayu, life is like a person drinking water, and he knows his own warmth and coldness. Although my aunt hopes that you will be well, if you ...... No, don't hold on. ”

She should have heard something like this, Song Yu's body stiffened slightly, smiled, and said, "It's okay, auntie, I'm fine." ”

Zhao Ran sighed and said, "The Tang family is complicated, especially your second brother and second sister-in-law, I heard that they are not fuel-efficient lamps. And your mother-in-law......"

No need to look at anyone's face, Song Yu is like an ant in their hands. Although she has never experienced those things in a wealthy family, she has heard a lot of them.

She paused slightly, and then said, "In such a big family, it is not the business of you and Tang Xu to live. ”

"Don't worry, we don't live together, there aren't so many conflicts. I don't spend much time at the old house. Song Yu said.

Yes, it's not that much to do if you don't live together. Zhao Ran was a little relieved now, and said, "If there is anything, don't hide it, tell Tang Xu and let him deal with it." ”

How did she know that Tang Xu was unreliable.

Song Yu smiled and agreed.

After all, it was the New Year, and she did not continue on this unpleasant topic. began to talk about Song Tinglai. It's a lot more lively to have children here, especially children who are as well-behaved as Song Ting. She complimented her on being smart and sensible, and said that the older he got, the more like her father became. Especially a pair of eyes, very similar to Song Zhiyuan when he was young.

Speaking of Song Ting, it is inevitable to talk about Yu Manzhu again. Song Yu briefly said that he went to the mountain on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.

Zhao Ran actually wanted to pick up Yu Manzhu for the New Year, but because she didn't know about the existence of Song Ting, she had to give up. I called her and asked her to come over, but she refused.

Yu Manzhu's change is big, she used to treat everyone with a smile and welcome people, but now she is not, and she treats everyone coldly. It was as if there was a layer of ice.

Regarding Song Ting's desire to find a school again, Song Ting and Song Mian hid it from Zhao Ran and Song Zhiqin. Later, when the two stayed alone together, Song Yucai discussed with him when to send Song Ting to a new school. and said that he had discussed it with Zhang's mother, and when the time came, he would directly pick her up and send her to a new place.

Song wanted to go along, but the fewer people who went to this matter, the better. Song Mian said that he had already arranged it over there, and he would personally send it over and let her be here, don't worry. I'll see it later when I have the chance.

The most important thing is that this matter is hidden from Tang Xu for the time being, and if she also follows it, it will inevitably arouse Tang Xu's attention. Although sooner or later he will know.

Song Yu didn't insist, and nodded in response.

After talking about Song Ting, Song Yu remembered the slightest hint of it, hesitated slightly, and still asked, "Cousin, you and that ......"

It can be seen that his affection for that trace is deep, and he has never planted such a big heel fight on anyone. Although the relationship is a big loss, it does not mean that you can let it go.

When he mentioned the slightest thread, the expression on Song Mian's face was a little stiff. Then he smiled and said lightly: "That's all in the past, I was on a blind date years ago." ”

He paused slightly, then said with a smile: "My mother and my father have been talking about wanting to hold their grandson many times, and I am not too young, so it is time to settle down." ”

He never mentioned getting married before, and every time he talked about it, he said that he hadn't had enough fun. Song Yu didn't expect him to settle down so quickly. It's probably heartbreaking.

Song Yu was silent at this moment, and only then muttered after a while: "That's fine." ”

Indeed, if he marries that Sisi. The eldest uncle and aunt knew the identity of the silk, and they would definitely resolutely oppose it, and they didn't know what would happen when the time came.

Marriage doesn't have to be emotional. It's actually good to be respectful. At least, it won't be sad for anyone. Nor will I be discouraged by the passage of time. Plain and insipid will be a long stream. It won't hurt your muscles and bones.

Song Mian quickly squeezed out a smile again and asked, "What about you, how are you doing?" How much was the year-end bonus at the end of the year?"

The year-end bonus is not much, but the part-time job has increased her price because of the long time she has been working and she is satisfied with her work, which is more than double that of before. She has now saved a small amount of money.

Thinking of this, Song Yu was full of energy, and shared the news with Song Mian. Song Mian was also quite happy for her and asked her if she had any plans to work full-time.

Song Yu shook her head and said no, she needs a stable income, and turning part-time to full-time means instability. Unless she has a regular job in the future and her income has increased significantly, she will not consider full-time work.

Her purpose now is to save money quickly, at least to pay back the money owed to Tang Xu first. If you owe someone else's debt, you will never have confidence if you don't pay it back.

What she wants is cut off cleanly, that is, no one owes anyone. Revert back to the beginning.

She had always kept things about her father in her heart. Thinking of the photo, she hesitated for a long time before she looked at Song Mian and asked, "Cousin, do you think my father jumped off the building...... Is there something else going on?"

It's been so long since the matter was brought up again, Song Mian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but knowing that she wouldn't bring it up for no reason, he looked at her and asked, "Did you hear something?"

Song Yu pursed his lips, shook his head, and said, "No, it's just that I've always felt too sudden." ”

It was so sudden that her father didn't even leave her a word.

She didn't want to cause trouble for Song Mian, and she wouldn't tell anyone until she had evidence. Whether it is Song Mian or her eldest uncle.

Song Mian was silent, and only after a while did he say, "It's very sudden." But although I work in the company, I don't touch many cores. What the second uncle did, not only did he hide it from me, but even my father didn't know it. He would...... We didn't expect it, and we couldn't find out why. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "After the second uncle's funeral was done, my father quietly checked it, but there was no trace. The second uncle did not leave any clues. ”

When he said this, he looked at Song Yu, and said with a gloomy face: "It's been so long, even if there is really something, it is impossible to find it now." ”

The beneficiary of Song Zhiyuan's death was Tang Xu, even if Song Yu didn't say anything, he thought of Tang Xu's body. The fists clenched unconsciously tightly.

He knew too well that whether it was him or Song Yu, it would be an egg to fight with Tang Xu, and there was no chance of winning at all.

Song Yu was silent and did not speak, remembering Tang Chengen's words. She thinks that there should be some traces left, if not, how could Tang Chengen let her go to find it?

Or, he was just trying to provoke her and Tang Xu's relationship, but what good was it for him to provoke their relationship?

She has no use value for Tang Xu, even if the two fall out, it won't affect anything. It doesn't make any sense for him to do that.

Unless, there's something else she doesn't know.

The questions in Song Yu's mind were one after another, and he just sat and didn't move. It wasn't until Song Mian opened her mouth to call her that she came back to her senses and reluctantly squeezed out a smile.

Her face was not very good, Song Mian looked at her worriedly, hesitated for a moment and smelled: "Ah Yu, do you have something to hide from us?"
