Fifth Summer knew that he had no European ancestry, which was something that could be seen with the naked eye.

But she didn't know she had an older brother, and she didn't even remember having a mother in Scotland.

Perhaps out of self-preservation, Fifth Summer's memories began after the age of four.

That way, she didn't need to remember that she had been next to a corpse and banged on the door for three hours until she fainted.

Hieron Nimis was originally a "lonely old man" with a withdrawn personality, and after the death of the fifth Qiwen, he interpreted the word loneliness to the extreme.

Because everyone in Islay said that Hieronimis, she married the fifth Qiwen, and because of the difference in surnames, even the fifth summer herself thought that her adoptive father, Jeronis, was her stepfather.

Fifth Summer is resistant to the extreme coldness that Yeronimis has always been.

Even if it is a stepfather, even if there is no blood relationship, it is still an obligation to support.

Extremely cold and ignorant of it, this is definitely not what a person who calls the "Father" and the Son in it should do.

The fifth summer's cooking skills began to be practiced when he was five years old, stepping on a small bench to cook for himself.

At the age of five, other people's children are still playing in the garden, but the fifth summer has already learned to fry the pot with cold rice and hot rice.

Yellowniemis actually didn't care about her completely, at least the fifth summer grew up and went to an aristocratic school.

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been able to know literature and art when she was studying.

In the more than ten years that the fifth summer has grown up in Scotland, the Brunschweig family has been so poor that they can't even afford to build a house.

According to this logic, Hieron Nimis is still very dedicated to the fifth summer, just like those Chinese parents who tighten their belts and send their children to the best schools.

There is a big difference between the facts and this logic.

Most of the aristocratic schools in Europe still attach great importance to inheritance.

In their heyday, the Brunschweig family donated money to many private schools in Scotland.

In the fifth summer, with the blessing of the "ancestors of the Brunschweig family", he entered a private aristocratic school and reduced the tuition fees throughout the process.

However, tuition waiver does not solve all the problems.

Fifth Xia didn't belong to this aristocratic group at all, she couldn't even afford school uniforms, and she had to rely on the parents of other classmates to help her.

Such "special care" is definitely a great harm to a child who has just started school.

What is the purpose of those parents for the fifth summer?

What do parents say to their children?

Fifth Summer has heard more than once that those parents have advised their children not to play with people born like Fifth Summer after doing good deeds.

If he could, Fifth Summer would rather stay in a public, non-aristocratic school.

Hieron Nimis didn't care if Fifth Summer could adapt or not, he didn't show up at school once.

In the whole process of the fifth summer's schooling, there has never been a parent species.

Even when he returned home for the holidays, he rarely saw Yellowniemis in the fifth summer.

Every time he saw it, Geronimis would look at Fifth Summer with a creepy look.

This made Fifth Xia feel uncomfortable, and it was also the reason why she chose to stand on her own at the age of thirteen.

Jerónimis had hoped that Fifth Summer would inherit her mother's talent for wine tasting and brewing.

The fifth summer's extremely unenlightened sense of taste and smell has been revealed since childhood, which makes Geronimis extremely disappointed in this adopted daughter, and there is no kindness at all.

Throughout his life, Hierónimis could not find a second inheritor who could make Brunschweig.

In the will of Jeronimis, he left four things for the fifth summer:

A family tree – a 500-year-old history of the Brunschweig family and whisky-making know-how.

A letter - an explanation of the mentorship between Jeronymis and Mother Fifth Xia.

An investigation - the investigation report of the accidental death of the mother of the fifth summer that year.

Finally, there are 100,000 bottles of Brunschweig whisky that has been lost.

The four things that Hieronymis had left for the fifth summer, except for the whiskey, were all left there untouched.

..............................

Lou Shang has never watched Shuai Ge's live broadcast, but this time, he specially asked the driver for a mobile phone to watch.

It's not that after Lou Shang knew that he was really popular, he completely fell into the mortal dust and began to care about the daily life of Shuai Ge's live broadcast.

But in one day, I heard Shuai Ge boast to her about one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight times, and today I want to invite a Wei fan to dinner.

also emphasized every time: "It's the only fan of this handsome, not the one who was dumped." ”

Shuai Ge's solemnity made Lou Shang unable not to pay attention to the fact that Fat Ge invited a girl to dinner for the first time.

When I was studying, the girl's friend was fat and shy.

Most of the girls are looking for him to set off their beauty.

So whether it's eating or milk tea, Shuai Ge has never taken the initiative to pay.

When Fat Geton has no money, all kinds of love for money + stinginess.

After having money, this habit has not changed much.

Shuai Ge didn't even see him, and the girl who began to itch to invite him to dinner really never appeared in Lou Shang's memory.

Lou Shang himself, but the knot in his heart has not yet opened.

Perhaps, if he can't find his mother, Lou Shang will never be able to let go of the past.

Perhaps, if he can't find his sister and the light that illuminates his heart, Lou Shang will never be able to truly have his own happiness.

But Lou still has no reason, he doesn't want Shuai Ge to find his own happiness as soon as possible.

In the past five years that Fat Ge Ton has been talking and laughing in front of the camera, from 21 to 26 years old, he has long reached the age when he should have a good relationship.

Now that he watched the live broadcast, Lou Shang must have heard the story that Meng Qianxun made up by using the whiskey that strayed into the live broadcast room.

The mother who slandered the abandoned brother married a seventy-year-old disabled man when she was in her prime.

Originally, Lou Shang should be angry when he heard such words, who can accept others talking about his mother like this?

This is also the reason why Shuai Ge was a little unkind to see Meng Qianxun later.

But Lou Shang was not angry.

Admittedly, the Brunschweig whisky he doesn't mention a word is, as Shuai Ge says, a trustee.

It is indeed Shuai Ge who is one step ahead of the building and put it in the live broadcast room.

But is the relationship between this bottle of whiskey and him really as Shuai Ge said, all made up by Meng Qianxun's brain?

The answer in Lou Shang's heart is no.

Meng Qianxun's inference stirred up turbulent waves in Lou Shang's heart.

He thought back to the first time he saw Fifth Summer.

At that time, he had a high fever and was already a little unconscious, but he was sure at a glance that the fifth Xia who appeared in front of him was his sister Lou Xia.

He recalled the first time he saw his mother in literature, and said that he and Fifth Xia were carved out of the same mold.

In the dark, there are too many things that connect him with the fifth summer.

Because of the original "car accident scene", because the literary explanation is that the fifth is just a casual transliteration, not a real surname.

Lou Shangcai forced himself and suppressed all his premonitions.

Without hope, there will be no disappointment.

He knows this better than anyone else.

However, Fifth Xia and Meng Qianxun, two girls who have no intersection at all, came to the same city at the same time with two bottles of identical whiskey.

Isn't that enough to prove that everything is guided by God?

After all the hunches came down, after knowing that Brunschweig was named after the family name of the whisky, after knowing that the fifth summer and the inheritor of this whisky family had a different surname.

Lou Shang can almost confirm that the fifth summer is her sister Lou Xia.

He only needed to confirm now that the rumored Asian woman who was going to marry Brunschweig was the fifth.

On the way back to Fan Lao's wine cellar, Lou Shang made a request to Shuai Ge: "Can I trouble you, ask Meng Qianxun, her father, have you heard that nineteen years ago, when she was preparing to restart the Brunschweig Distillery, what was the name of the Asian woman with great talent for winemaking, even if she didn't have her full name, only her surname." ”

"Your fever has subsided, why is your brain still sitting in the steam furnace?

"I certainly didn't give up. And I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure I was wrong about giving up before. If Brunschweig is the surname of the father who died last month in the mouth of the fifth summer, then Diwu in her name must be the surname of her mother. If the cultural ambassador said that Diwu is a transliteration, why can't it be the fifth?

"So sure, why don't you go directly to recognize your relatives? What are you going to do when you go back to Fan Lao?"

"Resignation. I'm going to Scotland and you can help me get a visa as soon as possible. ”

"You're sick in the head, aren't you? Everyone is here, you're going to Scotland?" Lou Shang quickly decided.

He's going to Scotland, he's going to Islay, he's going to the Brunschweig distillery.

He wanted to know what had happened nineteen years ago.

Did Mom really marry an old man nineteen years ago?

Why didn't the Brunschweig distillery reopen 19 years ago?

There are so many mysteries that it seems that the answers can only be found on Islay and at the Brunschweig winery.

"I did think about it, so I rushed directly to Mr. Wen's house and told her that she was Lou Xia and my sister. I've been looking for my sister for so many years, and I've finally found her, and I've even got my shoes on. It is impossible for Lou Shang not to have the urge to recognize Lou Xia directly, if he had a literary phone number at that time, he would definitely call directly.

But Lou Shang quickly calmed himself down: "I can't rush to recognize each other at this time, I don't want to scare Lou Xia again." ”

"If you don't have a shadow, you just have a mouthful. You're going to Scotland like this, so what should Fan Lao do? Fan Lao is 90 years old this year, you just want to go?"

"I just want to see where Lou Xia grew up. I'll take a look and come back. Lou Shang never thought of leaving: "Do you know? If everything Meng Qianxun said is true, then my sister must have a childhood that is even darker than mine." I would have foolishly thought that she must be doing better than me. I have been jealous and complaining more than once. ”

Lou Shang patted Fat Ge Ton on the shoulder a little excitedly: "Shuai Ge! I'm going to Scotland! I want to know what happened to Lou Xia! Why is Lou Xia the character he is like now! Why doesn't Lou Xia remember me at all!"

After the excitement, Lou Shang withdrew the hand he had placed on Shuai Ge's shoulder.

Outside the window, the traffic is thinning, the neon is fading, facing a distant place without focus, Lou Shang said lightly, the words that pressed on the bottom of his heart-

"For the rest of her life, I will protect her. ”
