Zhao Linlin still remembers the vow she made many years ago that when she has enough ability, she will build a big house for her mother that can let in sunlight on all sides. In the winter of 2017, her wish finally came true.

With her financial resources, she can't buy a villa as arrogantly as Wei Chenglin, she can only rent an old house in the suburbs and make drastic renovations.

At first, she was also going to make a documentary to film all the renovation process, but she gave up after two episodes: "Unless I hire a professional photographer, or I shoot at the same time, this house will have to wait for me to be 70 or 80 years old to complete the transformation." Forget it, anyway, I've drawn all the drawings and just find a worker to do it. ”

According to Zhao Linlin, her mother is still very moved, but she is used to living a hard life, and she doesn't know how to express it, but when she meets people, she says that her daughter has grown up and has a future.

Zhao Linlin was touched by her mother again, and she said to her good friend emotionally: "It turns out that my parents began to speak softly, became helpless in the little things we were all accustomed to, and were moved from time to time, which proves that they are old." ”

Compared with Zhao Linlin, Qiao Lin noticed the old age of her parents a long time ago. Towards the end of her second study abroad career, she finally heard the news that her father was about to retire from the restaurant industry on Jixiang Road. Her father told her that he was going to have a minor operation, and that he didn't need to be afraid, and that he wouldn't do heavy work after the operation.

Qiao Lin checked a lot of information on the Internet, and the more she checked, the more panicked she became, but her sister reassured her: "Don't be nervous, Dad's condition is not so bad." Besides, Qiao Nan and I have the ability to find him the best doctor in Hong Kong City to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

After the group of bad students were punished, Qiao Nan learned the ins and outs. Thinking that his father had to suffer this kind of grievance at his age, he was furious and immediately made several phone calls to seek justice for his father.

In Jolene's eyes, her brother is no longer what he used to be. She remembered that many years ago, when her brother was still hospitalized in Beijing, the leaders who came to see him were accompanied by a few "little followers". Those people don't need to speak, they can stand there, and they will be majestic.

Unconsciously, my brother also has a "little follower" by his side, and he is gradually getting better at talking and doing things. When he was in his twenties, he had to ask old friends who used to compete with him to help take care of the family, but now, it seems that he can make a few phone calls to get his family well taken care of.

Qiao Jianjun fainted in front of Yang Shu, and then he was sent to the hospital, and then Qiao Nan knew about it. It didn't take long for Lao Qiao to receive a call from the police, and the other party patiently and meticulously asked him if he still had any demands, and told him to call him if he had something; he lived well in the hospital, but Qiao Nanfei arranged him to a better hospital and found a military medical expert to operate on him.

Qiao Jianjun had all kinds of complaints about his son before, but after Qiao Nan did this work, he felt that he had caused trouble to his son and was worried that it would have a bad impact on him. Qiao Nan asked him not to think nonsense, and gave him a guarantee: "Dad, your son is still a little capable, now it's time for you to enjoy happiness, you just believe in your son!"

These words made Lao Qiao sigh with emotion. He no longer only praised the two apprentices, but said how good his son was when he met people, and his son was not raised in vain after all.

Jolene wanted to praise her brother, but she was still insensitive, so she didn't say anything. The older siblings made the best arrangements for the family, and she had no place to intervene and no room to worry. But she is still very unhappy, she is not wronged for her father, but she does not want her father to retire. For her, her father is a symbol of the auspicious road, and if he retires, the era that belongs to her parents will be completely over.

But at the end of the year, she also had good news, that is, the set of English picture books she had translated before was finally going to be published after experiencing a storm of changing editors.

She forgot to wait for a few months, and she didn't care about how much she would be compensated for late publication as stipulated in the contract, as long as she could publish it, she was very happy. Not to mention that this set of picture books can be given to the children at home, even the grandmother who is on the verge of blindness can see her name printed in lead, how happy should the grandmother be!

Sun Ruiyang is also sincerely happy for her, he said that after a long wait, the results will inevitably be sweeter. In the dead of night, Qiao Lin hid under the quilt and expressed her worries: "Sun Xiucai, I once prayed with the heavens, and I am willing to block all my good luck in exchange for your health...... So, now that good luck has come, I'm worried. ”

"Fool, if Heaven can really hear the prayers of mortals, then who will be troubled?"

Thinking about it, Jolene was a little relieved. However, she knew that her husband's condition was not very good, and that his holding on did not mean that his situation had improved. In Chen Yun's words, he seems to be working hard to live in the next life, although he didn't say why, but he must be fighting for a breath when he does this.

In the last few years, have the people who have made them miserable been punished? No, they are still alive and well. In the fantasy, Jolene will think of herself as a very famous kind of person, if she really has a strong influence, those evil feelings that have accumulated in her heart can be vented, right?

But Sun Ruiyang told her to live calmly and not to be angry with anyone. "Jolene, your life is good enough to see the big cake in front of you, not staring at those noisy flies. Smart as you are, how can you be bothered by all that?"

Jolene didn't want him to say this, and since she was a child, he always took the trouble to teach her how to solve problems, as well as the wisdom of life. Jolene didn't want him to teach too much, and she didn't want to learn everything herself, so that she could live well without him one day.

She diverted the topic, still longing for Kamakura, who had not been there for a long time. She also said that she hopes to build a big house on the outskirts of Hong Kong City like Zhao Linlin, which is really facing the sea and blooming in spring.

"If there is such a big house, grandma will have a place to make a vegetable garden, and the dogs of our two families will be able to run away. If you are like Qiao Nan and have a son and a daughter, then you can get a slide swing in the yard......"

One day, before going to bed, Jolene told her husband about her vision for the future. She fell asleep as she spoke, and she didn't hear Sun Ruiyang's reply. But the next morning, she swiped the news, and Kaka officially announced her retirement.

Although she had known the result for a long time, after the official announcement, Jolene still shed tears. On Kaka's ins, she left a message in very jerky Italian: "My youth is over." ”

She was immersed in the sadness of Kaka's retirement, and sent Sun Ruiyang a long WeChat message. Her husband didn't reply to her, remembering that he hadn't said anything last night, and Jolene fell into the ice cave at once.

When is it, and why is she only thinking about Kaka's retirement and ignoring her sick husband?

Jolene frantically called him, but his phone kept turning off. The foreboding grew stronger, and Jolene cried and called the people around her, but no one answered.

It's all like this, even if she doesn't have to talk, she understands what's going on.

She had been worried for countless days, she thought she had been prepared for a long time, but when this day really came, she was still so sad that she had no master.

She looked at the blue-pink sky, which was full of such skies in the popular "La La Land" back then. So beautiful, yet so sad.

She held her phone, tears dripping down her face. She didn't pay attention to it, and two WeChat messages were displayed on the screen.

"Jolene, he's in emergency hospital. ”

"He had just had surgery and it went well. ”
