One day in early June, Song Minrou finally stepped into the door of the Liang family. Worried that she would be uncomfortable, Qiao Lu deliberately chose a time when she was only at home by herself, and asked her sister to bring Min Rou over.

It's been many years since she called Qiao Lu "big sister", just like when she faced Qiao Lin, Song Minrou didn't know how to shout. In her impression, Qiao Lu is a little more shriveled than Qiao Lin, wearing the most modest clothes all the year round, taciturn, never leaving the book in her hand, only smiling gently. And such an inconspicuous girl has finished her doctorate, become a scientific research leader, met true love, married into a famous family, and completely realized a counterattack in life.

Especially the house she lives in now is definitely not a magnificent top mansion, but it is a place where money can't live in. This low-key neighborhood spontaneously exudes a kind of majesty, and as soon as people walk in, they will involuntarily become silent, and they will not dare to look around.

If ordinary people live here, it will really be a sparrow flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix. Song Minrou thought to herself, maybe Qiao Lu is like everyone else, she has enough capital to raise her eyebrows in front of the Song family, and her heart is full of pride, but she pretends to be low-key.

Maybe it was for this reason that Dad refused to ask Qiao Lu for help. How can it be acceptable that someone who has been looking down for the past thirty years suddenly needs to look up, and look up with great respect?

Now it's time to bow her head, after meeting with Qiao Lin, Song Min Rou hesitated, she brought some delicate pastries, and bought a bottle of expensive red wine, even so, she still asked Qiao Lin: "Did I bring too little?"

"You don't have to care, my sister can't eat anything, it's still a special period, she can't eat sweet. ”

Min Rou was nervous for a while, and was about to buy something new, but Qiao Lin grabbed her: "My sister specially told me not to bring anything, just go to her house for a meal." Your own sisters, don't be so nervous. ”

The sentence "own sisters" made Min Rou's heart warm and relaxed a lot.

When the two younger sisters arrived home, Qiao Lu happened to make milk tea. She warmly beckoned Min Rou to sit down and said, "Finally, I'm home alone, and finally no one stops me from working." I haven't made milk tea in a long time, and I don't know what it tastes like. ”

The milk tea is rich and mellow, and it is much better than what is sold outside. Min Rou praised: "I didn't expect the eldest sister to have such a craft." ”

"When your brother Qiao Nan was injured, I took care of him in China for half a year, and I happened to have a friend who opened a bubble tea shop, as long as I had time, I went to help, and I learned it after a long time. Oh, by the way, I was still a part-time job at that time, and I made a little money!"

She has become a "wife", she still remembers the experience of working many years ago, and she can still tell it so generously, it seems that she is a person who has not forgotten her original intention.

Min Rou was no longer nervous, and chatted with Qiao Lu about her experience over the years, and naturally talked about the changes in her family. She said that the tragedy at home began with her father's blind investment, and the most reckless decision was to buy a piece of land on the outskirts of Hong Kong City to build a high-end hot spring villa community. But as soon as the hill was almost cleared, a cemetery was built nearby in a local village. Whether it is negotiation or litigation, money has been sent and hands have been moved, but in the end it has not been resolved. As a result, not a single house was sold. By the time he wanted to sell the house at a reduced price, it was too late.

Min Rou said that by April, all the projects at home had stopped, and her father was deeply affected, his spirit was not as good as before, and he might not be able to sleep after taking a lot of sleeping pills. Min Rou was also anxious, for fear that her father would not be able to think about it one day and make an extreme choice.

Min Rou spoke in more detail, and Qiao Lu listened more heavily. She asked, "So what's your next move? The American symphony orchestra, aren't you going back?"

Min Rou's expression was gloomy: "I want to go back, but how can I get back? Min Jia can't do anything but cry; besides me, who else can my parents rely on?"

Qiao Lin interjected: "My sister-in-law has done so much to you, I am angry for you! If it were me, I would have run back to the United States a long time ago." ”

Min Rou said: "He is my father after all, he is still sick, he was not like this before...... I'm angry with him too, but I can't leave him alone. ”

Qiao Lu said worriedly: "But if you don't play the piano......"

"Eldest sister, let's not talk about this yet, okay?"

Forcibly separating the things you love most from your own world, the heartache that no one can understand. Min Rou must be like a knife, but she just insists on not letting others know, and she doesn't want to be sympathized with by others.

"Eldest sister, speaking of which, I won't hide it from you, I just want to ask you, do you have a way...... Min Rou bowed her head and said: "My dad said that if the court can open the net, don't directly let my family go bankrupt, but coordinate from it, let the construction company continue to build, sell the house with us, and then we will return the money to them, take your time, then my family can still be saved...... The problem now is that my dad is afraid of offending people, and all my family's property is still sealed, and no one pays attention to my dad. ”

"Min Rou, although this matter is very complicated, I probably understand. I'll tell you the truth, I've been married to your brother-in-law for more than half a year, and I've never begged him for family matters, and I don't know how to speak. However, in the most difficult years of my family, my sister-in-law helped us a lot, and I always remember his kindness. So, whether I can help or not, I'll try my best. ”

Since returning to China, Min Rou has accompanied her father to go around, giving countless valuable gifts, and she may not be able to meet a person who can "talk". She came to Qiao Lu in desperation, and she didn't ask for anything, so she said she wanted to help.

Before Min Rou could say "thank you", the nanny who went out to buy came back, Qiao Lu hurriedly gave Min Rou a look, and then said kindly: "Let's prepare lunch first—— by the way, do you want to play the piano? My father-in-law's piano seems to be quite expensive, if you want to play, you can try it." ”

After the nanny said hello, Qiao Lu introduced with a proud face: "Aunt Zhang, my cousin is the principal pianist of a well-known American orchestra, you have a good ear today!"

"Oh, that's a good idea, I haven't heard a pianist play yet!"

Song Minrou understood that the moment the nanny entered the door, Qiao Lu let their conversation stop abruptly, and then urged her to play the piano, in fact, to protect her privacy and not embarrass her in front of the nanny.

Min Rou casually played the popular "Nocturne", and she could see that Qiao Lu was always smiling and groaning. No matter how many years have passed, she is still the big sister who lives in Jixiang Road, smart and witty, gentle and amiable.

Min Rou thought to herself, maybe a person like her should marry into such a family and have a good life.
