Qiao Nan was afraid that his wife would think too much, so he said: "It's been seven years, and she only appeared at the moment when I was hovering at the moment of life and death, and then completely disappeared from my world...... Even so, even as an old friend of hers, I wanted to see her...... Of course, I have to get your permission first. ”

"Go!" Wen Jing was unexpectedly cheerful: "I'll go with you." ”

Hometown is not only longing for relatives, nor is it only delicious hometown food, but also some sad past, which people cannot forget. Wen Jing naturally understands this truth.

When chatting with her in-laws, Wen Jing often said that Qiao Nan is a strong person, so he is also a more distressed person. This sentence was once again certified when he stood in front of his ex-girlfriend's tombstone.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, no flower shop opened, so Qiao Nan had to make a crooked idea, and he set his sights on the flowers planted by his grandmother. The begonias are blooming vigorously, and the daffodils are also delicate, and they should look good together.

When his grandmother heard that he was going to visit his mother-in-law and his long-dead ex-girlfriend, she happily cut a few flowers for him. Wen Jing was worried about not being able to buy flowers, and when she saw her husband coming over with a large handful of flowers, she was suddenly moved to tears: "You still have a lot of ways, why don't I find flowers?"

The only dispute between the two of them is whether to take the child with them. Wen Jing wanted her mother to see her grandchildren, but the family didn't agree. Not to mention the cold in the wild, children may be frozen out of the problem, and there are some folk sayings in Hong Kong City, it is not appropriate to let too young children go to places with heavy yin qi. So, it's better to let the children stay at home and the two adults go.

Wen Jing was very unhappy, a family conflict was inevitable, and Qiao Nan was caught in the middle, which was very difficult. Besides, if the wife does not have the support of relatives, it is easier to become sentimental and feel that she is weak.

Qiao Nan patiently persuaded: "The old man's worries are not superfluous, but if you insist on taking the child there, they will not force it." However, the children are still too young to understand anything, and you are sad and crying there, but the eldest is running all over the mountain with joy, and the second is screaming...... It's so lively, how do you talk to your mother well?"

...... The sense of picture is too strong, and in the end, Wen Jing still accepted her husband's proposal to take the children when they grow up. Fortunately, this contradiction was strangled in the cradle, and the family members who were not happy for the New Year. Qiao Nan sweated a lot - mediating family conflicts is really not a simple job!

Wen Jing had too much to say to her mother, and she didn't move as soon as she sat there. Qiao Nan didn't rush her, but waited patiently for her and asked her to finish everything she wanted to say.

Wen Jing asked him to leave for a while, and Qiao Nan obediently went to the side to smoke, and vaguely heard her praising him to her mother: "To meet him, it must be that my mother has done a lot of good things, so that I have someone I can trust for life...... Mom, I'm really happy now, bless us!"

In the smoke, Qiao Nan recalled the bits and pieces of the two, it was so amazing, it was just a rich lady who met by chance, how did she become her own pillow person, and live with herself desperately?

Qiao Nan thought about it, remembered those fun scenes, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. Wen Jing knocked him on the head: "What do you think?

"Hmm......" Qiao Nan hurriedly extinguished his cigarette: "You're done?"

"Hmm...... Let's go, go see your old friends. ”

Qiao Nan repeatedly explained to his wife that all he was thinking about just now was the past of the two, and it had absolutely nothing to do with others. Wen Jing gagged him: "I don't know you yet, don't tell me about this anymore!"

Xue Dongmei's tomb was not far away, and every time she got closer, Qiao Nan's mind became heavier. I heard my mother say that when she handed over the work, she specially told her successor - every year, a group of students with the "Dongmei Scholarship" should be organized to come over to sweep the grave, and don't forget the excellent senior sister of No. 2 Middle School. Presumably Lao Xu and they also told them this, so her grave has never been desolate, but the photos embedded in the tombstone have faded a lot, and the book she published has also gone through wind and rain, and it is far from the original appearance.

Qiao Nan flipped through it casually, and one of the books was published in 2015, and it seems that it should be a reprinted English version. Each book is wrapped in plastic film, so it is likely that one person made it, and Qiao Nan has a hunch that from the beginning to the present, all the books should have been brought by Jinzi.

There were too many words I wanted to say, and all of them were accumulated in my throat, and my eyes had a layer of fog first. Wen Jing tugged at his sleeve, let him relax, and took the lead in saying: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, Qiao Nan should have a lot to say to you, then I won't bother you for now." ”

She turned around and wanted to leave, but Qiao Nan grabbed her wrist and said, "There is no secret between me and you, you don't have to avoid it, Dongmei...... I wouldn't mind. ”

He was still as honest as ever, Wen Jing was afraid that Xue Dongmei would be unhappy, but when he looked at the tombstone, the old man's smile was still so calm. Qiao Nan put a bouquet of flowers in front of her tombstone and squeezed out a smile: "This is the third time I have sent flowers to you, the first time was when you left, and the second time was seven years ago...... In this way, I never sent you flowers during your lifetime, I'm sorry. ”

This was obviously said to Xue Dongmei, but Wen Jing was extremely sad and felt very uncomfortable.

Qiao Nan said to Wen Jing: "My memories with her, except for letters one after another, there is not much left. We watched fireworks together in Orange Island in my sophomore year, and she helped me escape from the hospital in my junior year...... But in all the memories, she is giving, and I have done too little for her. ”

Qiao Nan looked directly at the tombstone and continued: "Before you left, you wanted me to bring you the steamed buns from the steamed bun shop at the entrance of No. 2 Middle School, but the old owner of that shop passed away, and within a few years, the shop also moved away. When I was in high school, I brought buns to almost all my classmates, but why didn't I bring them to you? ”

"In the last words you left me, you wanted me to go to Tibet to see the mandala for you, but I haven't gone until now. Shortly after graduating, I went to the plateau once and trained there for a while...... You also know, I am the key training object of our unit, but I almost don't know anything when I just graduate, and I am scolded very badly every day...... Every day I look at the map and see the temples marked on it, I wonder if there will be a mandala there, and if you are silently bless me. In the dark, I heard you calling my name. Later, I came down from the plateau, darkened, bald, but also stronger. To this day, I have not forgotten that experience. I have not forgotten that you were my spiritual support. ”

Wen Jing has mixed tastes, but she doesn't know why, she can't be jealous at all. She also squatted down, squeezed Qiao Nan's hand, and said, "Are you okay?"

"No, I don't. Qiao Nan clenched his wife's hand and said, "Wenwen, I may not have told you that at the time when I almost died, she appeared in my dream and told me that you were waiting for me outside, so that I would not let you down." Like she said, she left me all her good hopes for a good life. ”

"Then I'm going to thank her well...... If it were me, I wouldn't be as atmospheric as her, and I don't want you to forget me. ”

"I won't forget her, but she's just an old friend hidden deep in my heart. Qiao Nan pulled the petals and said: "Year after year, my eyes are turned over and over, fortunately I can't be blind in a short time, I can still look forward to the career I love; I went through a lot of twists and turns with this Miss Wen, and finally got married and had two children; Probably life is like this, [fo] ups and downs, but with hope and hard work, the end will not fail us...... Before you left, I repeatedly explained to me - hope and cherish, I will remember it in the bottom of my heart and continue to live well. Dongmei, you also cherish it. ”
