After a noisy fireworks display, the city is calm again.

Mu Ningyuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands in his pockets, staring intently at the neon in the distance, the expression on his face was very calm.

In his mind, he couldn't recall the way Miao Miao looked at him and opened his mouth to speak.

What did she want to say to him at that time?

Mu Ningyuan smiled self-deprecatingly, forget it, it's all over.

After all, each already has a new life.

Probably only from the bottom of his heart knew what it was like when he saw Rong Rui appear with a lady's scarf hanging on his elbow.

He glanced at the bustle outside the window again, reached out, and pulled the curtain over.

He didn't know that this simple turn would make him miss it for many years.

The first day of junior high school was a good day, and Miao Miao had never felt that the city was so smooth to pass through. She and Ban Qingyi didn't have much luggage, they only brought the usual things, and prepared the rest of the things to buy when they went back.

Rong Rui didn't know what was going on, so he left early in the morning, but he left a driver for Miao Miao - after all, a pregnant woman and a mentally incomplete child, so many things to take away, it is really inconvenient.

Miao Miao didn't refuse pretentiously. Since she became pregnant, her physique has changed and she has started to get a little motion sickness. Rong Rui's driver didn't say anything else, the technology was first-class, and there were almost no bumps along the way, which made Miao Miao feel a lot better. In addition, after arriving at the airport, someone also helped to check in the luggage, Miao Miao couldn't help but sigh, no wonder so many people are trying to climb to a high place, and they are in a high position, they really don't need to do everything themselves, and someone will handle everything properly.

Ban Qingyi was still taking a plane for the first time, and he seemed a little uneasy and anxious along the way, fortunately, Miao Miao bought a first-class cabin, and the passenger flow on the first day of the new year was not large, and the plane was still quiet during the journey, Ban Qingyi had a blanket on his body, leaned on Miao Miao's shoulder and slept lightly for a while.

After getting off the plane, Lin Qian was in charge of the reception.

"What shall I say? Welcome...... Returning to his hometown?" Lin Qian was wearing a windbreaker and jeans, acting neatly and crisply. Miao Miao is pregnant, she is one on top of two, pulling a suitcase in one hand, Miao Miao is only responsible for holding Ban Qingyi's hand throughout the whole process, and the three of them came out of the airport and hailed a taxi.

"Let's go and see the house first. Lin Qian and the driver put the suitcase into the trunk together, "You will be at my house for the past two days, the house is big over there, and I have taken the lead in cleaning the side, but it is not easy to add some bits and pieces." When everything is ready, you can move in. ”

"You've got it all arranged. Miao Miao squinted her eyes and smiled.

"After all, it's my next-door neighbor, so I want to make use of the friendliness of my neighbors. Lin Qian sat in the co-pilot and winked at Miao Miao, "Besides, I am your child's godmother, and I naturally have to pay attention to where my child will live in the future." ”

Ban Qingyi tilted his head, not quite understanding the meaning of Lin Qian's words, he hooked Miao Miao's fingers, and scratched Miao Miao's palm with his fingertips.

"This is a good friend of mine, and he will be good to you in the future. Miao Miao smiled and tidied up the ends of his hair that was blown by the wind blowing outside the window for Ban Qingyi, "Qingyi don't reject her." ”

Ban Qingyi glanced at Miao Miao, stared at Lin Qian for a few seconds, and finally looked away and continued to be in a daze.

Lin Qian pouted: "You can stand this stuffy oil bottle." ”

She doesn't care if Ban Qingyi has autism or not, after all, she is not the one who has to take care of Ban Qingyi all the time. In Lin Qian's opinion, she is the most incompatible with a man like Ban Qingyi.

The excessive silence of the opposite sex always reminds her of a certain man in her memory.

Even now, you can slowly learn to face it calmly, but there are some memories that you can remember or don't think about it, and it's not a glorious deed.

Lin Qian glanced at Miao Miao from the rearview mirror, sat up straight, and propped his elbows on the car window: "When are you going to pay respects to your uncle and aunt?" ”

"Forget it. Miao Miao looked out the window and tugged at the corners of her mouth, "When the time comes, I'll go alone, you can help me take care of Qingyi." ”

Lin Qian paused for a moment and spoke: "It's okay." ”

The car drove all the way from the new town to the old town. When passing by the ancient and long moat, Miao Miao saw some children standing by the river and playing in the water.

The memory flashed for a moment, and she remembered that she had once stood on the edge of the river softly and weakly, watching others float on the water, and she could only applaud on the side.

It's as if those memories are too far away......

Back where you came, everything is unrecognizable.

It took Miao Miao a whole week to completely clean up the new house. Ban Qingyi likes this house very much, the antique small courtyard, the exquisite little attic everywhere, and the agarwood fragrance floating in the air, isolating the impetuousness of the big city, as if everything has slowed down.

So on the seventh day of the first month, Miao Miao asked Ban Qingyi to stay in Lin Qian's flower shop for a while, she had something to leave, Ban Qingyi was unprecedented, just hesitated, then nodded, and asked her to come back early.

Miao Miao took a taxi and went straight to the cemetery.

She actually didn't come back many times, and she never burned a penny for her parents on the fifteenth day of the new year. These things are forbidden in the city.

She carried a bottle of wine, a bottle of bitter gourd juice, a thick long down jacket, and thick-soled snow boots stepped on the steps, silent and silent.

The tombstone is very clean, and there must be someone who remembers her parents when she is not in her hometown.

Miao Miao slowly squatted down in front of the tombstone.

Her stomach is not very pregnant, and the action of squatting is not too difficult, but she is still subconsciously cautious.

Take out the wine, take out the wine glass, and place it in front of the tombstone, a glass of wine, a glass of bitter gourd juice.

A cup of respect for the years of kindness of parents is like a mountain, and a cup of respect for their past countless hardships.

Miao Miao's expression has always been very calm, and the pain in her heart has finally healed after so many years of recuperation, leaving only an ugly scar.

"Happy New Year, Mom, Dad. ”

"I'm pregnant, I'm a girl, and you're going to have a granddaughter soon. Although I became a single mother, fortunately, the father of the child was clear - although I told the father of the child about this, he did not react, and I don't know if he did not see it or chose to ignore it. ”

"But don't worry, my current net worth is enough to support my children to grow up well. ”

"My daughter is not filial, and I haven't seen you a few times over the years. ”

"In your name, I rejected a very good man - and it directly led to my children not having a complete family. ”

"But I'm doing well. Now, I have finally learned to let go and let go. ”

"So you don't have to worry about me, over there, just live your life happily without my daughter. ”

Does she still mind that Mu Ningyuan once hurt her unintentionally?

Who knows.

It's just that Miao Miao already understood when she didn't wait for Mu Ningyuan's reply that no one would always stand still and wait for her to turn back.

The text message she sent was regarded as an irrational and unrealistic fantasy of her motherhood, sentimentality, and momentary dizziness after she became pregnant.

She picked up her small glass and drank the bitter gourd juice.

Then pour the wine in the cup in front of the tombstone and stand up.

"Dad, Mom, it's a little cold in the mountains, so I'll go back first. Miao Miao placed the delicate wine bottle in front of the tombstone, carried the bottle containing bitter gourd juice, and turned to leave.

I don't know how long it took for a man in a black suit to walk slowly from the foot of the mountain, asked the tomb keeper Miao and his wife about the location of the tombstone, and went there.
