At the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner, the table was filled with a wide variety of dishes, and the tables of eight people were almost full.

"Come, ripples, it's hard to work this New Year, eat more. Because of Zhong Ruoyan's matter, although Gao Yilian didn't seem to care, Qu Chunhua was still afraid that she had ideas in her heart, and she was frequently courteous.

"No need aunt, my bowl is full. Looking at the dishes that were already piled up in the bowl and were about to roll off, even if Gao Yilian wanted to be more gracious, it was difficult to go down, but this bowl was not allowed.

"Oh, yes, then you eat more, and I'll clip it for you later." Qu Chunhua is still unrelenting.

"Come, you eat more, how thin you have become. Qu Chunhua still felt sorry for his daughter, and he had to give a chicken leg to Zhong Ruoyan.

Zhong Ruoyan hurriedly picked up her own dishes and chopsticks, and said: "How old am I, give me chicken legs, this chicken leg is still clipped to Sister Yiling, she is the youngest here." ”

"You need to say this, and there's another one, don't worry. As she spoke, she put it in her bowl, and immediately gave another one to Gao Yiling, who hurriedly thanked her.

This scene can't help but remind Qu Jinyan of when he was a child, they are like this here, there must be chickens during the New Year's holidays, so as long as there are children at home, chicken legs have become a symbol of the elders caring for the juniors, and they will be clipped.

Dinner lasted until nine o'clock in the evening, and they all drank a little wine to cheer up, but they didn't drink much, because all the people present were the kind of people who didn't usually drink much, and they were mainly talking about some troubles when they were young, and when they talked about their pleasures, they all burst out laughing.

It's just that when Zhong Ruoyan speaks, Teacher Zhong can't speak, and when Teacher Zhong speaks, Zhong Ruoyan doesn't say anything. Everyone tacitly agreed that this reunion dinner was also happy, at least it was harmonious, at least Qu Jinyan was worried that Zhong Ruoyan and her uncle had quarreled.

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks with Gao Yilian, when the two were washing the dishes, Zhong Ruoyan's voice sounded: "Are you busy, accompany me to the river when you are done." ”

"Eldest sister, in this winter, the wind is strong by the river at night, and it is very freezing. ”

However, as soon as Qu Jinyan's words fell, Gao Yilian said abruptly: "You accompany Ruoyan, it's the first time she comes, it's good to get familiar with the neighborhood, just wear more clothes, aunt and uncle I will greet you." ”

"Well, well. Seeing that Gao Yilian said so, he didn't want to say anything more.

Zhong Ruoyan smiled, and looked at this woman who had only been in contact with her for a short time, in her hands, this Qu Jinyan really had some meaning of obedience.

"I didn't expect you to be a strict wife. Walking by the river, the wind was blowing slowly, Zhong Ruoyan sneered.

"You know what, it's a sign of emotional harmony, okay. Qu Jinyan knew what her starting point was for saying this, which was the Tao.

"From what I learned just now, I feel that she has a strong temperament, but she is very introverted. Treat people kindly, there is an aura invisibly, and do not be surprised, giving people an unfathomable feeling. ”

At first, she came to laugh at her with bad intentions, but when she saw the perfect woman, she came into contact with her for a while, and whether it was external or internal, she couldn't find any thorns to make her speak, so she had to honestly say what she thought in her heart.

Qu Jinyan thought carefully about Zhong Ruoyan's words, and did not echo it: "There is a little bit of strength, but this is unfathomable, but when it comes to the point, I have a deep understanding!"

It's been more than a month since I got married, and Qu Jinyan often takes the initiative to tell Gao Yilian about his past and some thoughts in his heart. But for Gao Yilian, he can only know a few words from others, and she herself has almost never told him about herself, let alone had a heart-to-heart relationship.

But the means revealed from time to time, as well as the calmness that is calm and calm, do not make people look at it differently, as if this is just the tip of her iceberg, and the leopard in the hole can be seen.

"Oh, experienced?"

But to Qu Jinyan's surprise, his normal words attracted Zhong Ruoyan's evil smile.

"Is there a problem?" Qu Jinyan was stunned.

"Then someone like her is strong, when are you on top or is she on top?" Zhong Ruoyan said with a smile.

Qu Jinyan suddenly understood, this Nizi didn't know if it was intentional, and thought of what she said was unfathomable, and the deep understanding behind it was also wrong.

Immediately, he slapped her on the back of the head angrily: "What are you thinking about in this brain? ”

"When you just said that, you were colorful, and you looked obscene, obviously you misled first, and I now deeply suspect that you are driving, but there is no evidence. Zhong Ruoyan pretended to be serious.

"Okay, say I'm obscene, there's a kind of you don't run, don't beat your little ass, I'll call you sister in the future. As he spoke, the two of them laughed and chased after each other.

"Auntie, is there something wrong?" Upstairs at this time, Qu Chunhua called Gao Yilian to the balcony where no one was, thinking about it, he still wanted to tell her about Zhong Ruoyan, so that when she left, Gao Yilian would find Qu Jinyan to settle accounts after the autumn. After thinking about it, I didn't know where to start, so there was a scene of Gao Yilian asking questions.

But this time happened to be at this time, under the street lamp by the river downstairs, Qu Jinyan and Zhong Ruoyan were chasing after it very intimately, and all this could be seen from the balcony.

Seeing Gao Yilian looking downstairs motionlessly, she didn't know why at first, but when Qu Chunhua followed her gaze, she was suddenly startled.

Didn't she explain to Gao Yilian because of Ruoyan's matter, and now she hasn't said anything yet, and let her see such a picture, isn't it even worse?

"This ......" Qu Chunhua didn't know what to say for a while.

"The relationship between the two of them has been very good since childhood, right?" Gao Yilian said lightly, expressionless.

This couldn't help but make Qu Chunhua's heart tighten, thinking that she had emotions, and hurriedly explained: "It's not like this, I have always taken Ruoyan as my sister, not what you think." ”

"Auntie, I know what you mean, and I don't feel sorry for Ruoyan's affairs, you don't have to worry. ”

After getting Gao Yilian's approval, Qu Chunhua was relieved, and also looked at the two of them, falling into thoughts: "Since Jinyan arrived at our house, Ruoyan can be regarded as having a companion, going to school together, going home together, playing together during holidays, running all over the street, Ruoyan likes to follow Jinyan's buttocks, and listens to him very much, and the relationship is naturally excellent." ”

"To be honest, sometimes I can't speak as well as I am, and I still am. ”

"Actually, I've always been worried about the two of them, and I don't dare to tell Lao Zhong, I've been hiding it in my heart. ”

Gao Yilian's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Qu Chunhua instead, and when he saw that she wanted to speak, he stopped, and said, "If you can, can your aunt tell me?"

Qu Chunhua's eyes dodged, and he still had some doubts: "I...... I'm afraid you'll be angry. ”

"Then you also thought that I would be angry about this afternoon, but I wasn't angry, did I?" Gao Yilian said immediately.

"This ......"

Qu Chunhua was speechless, and finally sighed, but still said truthfully: "In the past, when they were children, it was okay for the two of them to play together, but I saw that they grew up day by day, and the distance was not estranged, but they were closer, and they almost didn't say anything. ”

"Especially Ruoyan, I can feel that this girl seems to mean something to Jinyan, I'm worried about this, I'm afraid that this girl is wrong. But now, after getting married, I let go of my heart. ”

"I think you misunderstood, in my opinion, Sister Ruoyan regards Jinyan more as a brother who has nothing to say, rather than as you feared. Looking at the people downstairs, Gao Yilian said slowly.

Seeing that Gao Yilian was so determined, Qu Chunhua stopped the topic in a timely manner, because this kind of thing was not suitable to talk to her, so he said: "Maybe it's because I'm old, and it's unfounded." ”

"I see that during the meal, Ruoyan's sister and uncle seem to be a little discordant?" Gao Yilian asked casually.

Qu Chunhua smiled bitterly: "It's not just that it's not harmonious, it's already to the point where water and fire are incompatible." ”

"How did a good father-daughter relationship evolve into what it is today?"

"I don't know, Ruo Yan used to listen to Lao Zhong very much, probably after she went to high school, I don't know if Ruo Yan was rebellious, and often quarreled with Lao Zhong, and it was out of control after a long time. ”

Qu Chunhua, who paused for a while, said with a little moist eyes: "I remember that year in high school, when I was about to graduate, Ruoyan had a big quarrel with Lao Zhong at school, and then dropped out of school. At this point, a person left home, wandered alone, ran all over the country, rarely called home, and the news about her was all told to us with caution. ”

"She's a good girl at heart. Gao Yilian said alone, regardless of whether Qu Chunhua understood or not.

"Ah, you...... You're really fighting. Zhong Ruoyan touched her hot buttocks and said aggrievedly.

"Do you think I'm joking, if I don't spank you, I'll call you Sister Sheng, do you dare to respond?"

"Well, is there anything wrong with you calling my sister?"

Zhong Ruoyan pretended to be casual, and then her voice begging for mercy came: "Brother, I was wrong, I don't dare, don't, ah......"

By the river, after the small episode just now, the two walked side by side, looking at the people beside them as if they were nothing, Qu Jinyan couldn't help but say loudly: "Can I ask you a question?" In fact, I have always wanted to ask, but I have never asked. ”

She glanced at Qu Jinyan in surprise, then continued to look at the calm river, and said briefly: "Say." ”

"I remember that you and your uncle used to have a good relationship, but it wasn't until you went to high school that that all changed. But everything happens for a reason, and a person's sudden change is not temporary, but cultivated over a long period of time, that is, from that time, you talk back to your uncle everywhere, and finally get out of control. ”

Hearing this, Zhong Ruoyan stopped her pace, looked at Qu Jinyan with interest, and played with taste: "You want to know the reason?"

"As long as you don't say it's adolescent rebellion, I'm done, I don't believe in that thing. Qu Jinyan said to meet her gaze.

"Oh, it's boring, you know what I'm going to say. I saw that her expression was a little unnatural, and then she leaned against the guardrail by the river and did not speak for a long time.

Qu Jinyan, who thought that this problem would be in the past, suddenly heard Zhong Ruoyan, who was facing away from him, say in an extremely calm voice: "Because one day, the father I have always respected was carrying my mother behind his back and had a leg with another female teacher at school, and he was not qualified to educate me again." ”

Suddenly, a word startled a thousand waves, and the river suddenly became uncalm, and the waves slapped heavily on the guardrail, splashing water, wetting her clothes and cooling her heart.
