Chapter Fifty-Eight: Inquire about Old Things
The next day the weather was just right, with a light breeze. Last night's storm had passed, and the sun was gently sprinkled on the earth, gilding it with a faint layer of gold.
Yan Ran got up quietly, the room was still dark, and the blackout curtains could not let in the light. She put on her clothes and wanted to go out to get some air, so she tiptoed out onto the balcony.
The view from the balcony is nothing more than a few small buildings of the same height around it, and the trees and flowers planted in the streets.
She took a deep breath of fresh air, trying to forget what she had discovered yesterday on this quiet morning. She didn't want to pursue it anymore, she didn't want to explore it anymore, and one thing she had learned over the years was to let go. Because that's all in the past.
Another reason is that she is afraid that the exposure of the matter will hurt the kind-hearted Aunt Yang Fei, and she will be betrayed by the people closest to her, and she can't bear it no matter what.
Yan Ran adjusted his mood and prepared to enter the house, and when he turned around, he saw Yang Fei knocking on the door of a low brick house next door with a plate, and after a while, an old grandmother came out.
"Grandma, do you remember me? I made some glutinous rice cakes for you. Yang Fei smiled and lowered her body to talk to the old grandmother.
The old woman squinted at the heat for a while before she remembered, "Oh, remember, thank you." The old woman took the plate, but she was on crutches in her hand, and it was inconvenient to take it.
"Why don't I bring it in for you?"
"Okay, thank you. The old grandmother made a way: "You have such a good heart, you can still think of me as an old woman." ”
She trembled and sat down at the dining table, touching the still hot glutinous rice dumplings.
"Be careful of the burn, and eat it later. Yang Fei took out one and put it aside to dry, and sat down by the way.
"I'm about the same age as Chen Lu, I should call you Auntie. ”
The old grandmother was kind and kind: "Just call me grandma, I'm used to it, adults and children call it that." ”
Yang Fei peeled off the zongzi leaves on the glutinous rice cake and handed it to the old grandmother: "Grandma, I just want to inquire about Chen Lu." After listening to you yesterday, I have some questions in my heart that I have been unable to figure out. My husband and Chen Lu's husband are good brothers, and now her daughter is in our care, although these things have passed, if there is anything hidden in this, I still hope to be able to investigate. ”
The old grandmother heard the meaning of the words, and tasted a mouthful of glutinous rice, which tasted authentic: "This glutinous rice is really delicious, similar to the taste made by Chen Lu, and she used to come to help me often." The old grandmother changed her words: "According to you, have the two of them died? Or is Yan Chen dead?"
Yang Fei thought for a while: "Yes, the couple died in a car accident." ”
The old grandmother calmly ate the glutinous rice cakes, not surprised at all: "Chen Lu has been in contact with that man for a long time, since Yan Ran just finished kindergarten, Yan Chen was transferred abroad because of work, and he only came back a few times a year. During this period, Chen Lu has been in contact with the man, but he came at night, and there were no street lights in the countryside, so I don't know if anyone could see the man's face clearly. ”
"You live next door to them, haven't you met them once?" Yang Fei asked.
"Not really. I live here as an old woman, and I go to bed early, but occasionally I get up at night to go to the toilet and see my back or side face, but I really can't see it clearly. ”
Yang Fei felt that the old grandmother seemed to be hiding something.
"Then do you think the couple's car accident could really be man-made?"
This sentence bombarded Yang Fei's heart like a blockbuster**, she has been having this guess since yesterday to today, but only when she says it can she know how tragic the weight of this sentence is.
"It is said outside that Chen Lu and her lover killed Yan Chen and eloped, but I think she will never kill anyone. Chen Lu is a gentle and virtuous person, cleaning the house every day, sending her daughter to class in the morning, cleaning the yard in her spare time, planting flowers, vegetables and fruits, embroidering and knitting under the osmanthus tree, and having no quarrel with the world. I don't think she would have found another man if she hadn't been separated from her husband. ”
Yang Fei thought thoughtfully: "If she really falls in love with someone else, she will probably be divorced." I don't know why I'm willing to guard it alone. ”
The old grandmother had finished eating the glutinous rice dumplings and went to the kitchen to wash her hands with a cane, Yang Fei got up and helped her: "Maybe that man also has a family." ”
Yang Fei's heart "clicked", as if she had missed a beat, she had a faint bad premonition in her heart, and she was so flustered that she couldn't do it, but she didn't know where this panic came from.
Maybe it was this hidden secret that happened around him, so he had an impact on himself.
"Is it possible that the man killed their husband and wife for the sake of his family. ”
The old grandmother's movements froze for a second, this guess was also a shock to her, she didn't think about this possibility.
She shook her head slowly, "I don't know. ”
Yang Fei couldn't ask what the result was, so she gave her a business card and some cash: "Grandma, if you can think of anything, please call me, this matter has a big impact on me." Here's my business card and some money, excuse me. By the way, I hope you can keep this matter a secret for me, okay?"
The old grandmother took the business card and stuffed the money back into Yang Fei's hand: "Don't give me money, I have enough money." Chen Lu treated me like a relative before her death, and I didn't expect her to end up like this. Although I am old, I know that the stakes are high, and I will not say it. ”
Yang Fei wrote more than a dozen hundred-yuan bills and said, "Thank you." ”
When she left the grandmother's house, a gentle breeze blew, which made her feel much refreshed, but her heart was extremely heavy. It's been several years, and many things have been unverified, and the car accident happened in Australia again......
"Aunt!" Yan Ran beckoned at the door, and she strode back to the courtyard of Yan's house.
"You're going to bring food to my grandmother! I want to see her, too." "Yan Ran happily, the state is no longer like yesterday.
"Ah, I went to disturb her too early, and after eating the glutinous rice cakes, I continued to rest, and I went, and went back to eat the glutinous rice cakes. Yang Fei pulled her back, and Yan Ran thought that since the old grandmother was resting, she had no choice but to give up.
"I haven't brushed my teeth and washed my face yet, so I'll go upstairs and wash up first. ”
"Then why did you go downstairs?"
"I just saw you delivering something to Grandma upstairs, and I want to go too. ”
Yang Fei's heart hung in the air, but fortunately he came out one step earlier and was not bumped into by the words.
"By the way, Qiao Mo didn't make you sleep last night, right?" Yang Fei asked.
"No, he said his room was too cold, and I thought I'd take him in for the night. But I thought that my aunt would scold him, and he would definitely say that you were biased. ”
Yang Fei scratched her nose: "You, didn't I protect you and prevent you from being bullied." But I know that Jomo treats you as his own sister, otherwise I would never have agreed to him running into your house. I went to my room last night to see it. ”
Yan Ran cleared his throat: "Thank you, aunt." ”
Yang Fei smiled with relief: "Silly child." ”
"That incident" lingered in Yan Ran's mind, and the hand holding Yang Fei tightened.
——
Yan Ran tiptoed back to the room, Qiao Mo turned over and startled Yan Ran, fortunately he didn't wake up, probably very tired, the company still has a lot of things to do for the New Year, but he insists on coming to the countryside together.
Yan Ran washed up, and then went to the balcony again, but he didn't expect that there were still onlookers outside. She noticed this yesterday, but she thought that maybe she hadn't been back for a long time, and everyone was just curious, but what were you pointing and discussing?
"What are you looking at?"
Yan Ran heard the sound in her ear, turned her face sideways and bumped into Qiao Mo's forehead close to her ear, and her bangs stabbed her.
"You're awake, wash up and go down to breakfast. ”
Jomo didn't care what she was talking about, just looked at where she had just stared.
"You know those people, do you want to go and say hello? Maybe you can meet your little friend. ”
Yan Ran went back to the room stupidly: "I don't want it." ”
Qiao Mo also followed into the room: "Okay, I will listen to you." ”
Ignoring him, Yan Ran packed his suitcase and secretly hid the letters in his clothes. When he turned around, he saw Jomo lying on the bed and couldn't get up.
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, don't touch me. Qiao Mo blocked the words with one hand: "The floor is too hard, I sleep with back pain, just relieve it." ”
"Where does it hurt? Do you want me to rub it for you?" Jomo didn't stop the frizzy words, she lifted his clothes, and a cold hit her waist.
"Whew...... Why are your hands so cold!Warm up under the covers. Qiao Mo didn't say a word, and took her hands and put them into the quilt together.
Her hand was wrapped in Qiaomo's hand, the palm was wide and strong, the fingers were slender, and the skin was as delicate as a woman's......
I don't know if it's because of the air conditioner, Yan Ran's face is getting hotter and hotter, his heart is like a deer, his hands don't dare to move at all, and his expression has become blurred.
She stubbornly resisted the hormones, resisting and looking forward to it, and the feeling of intimacy was really overwhelming.
"Yan Ran, why don't you come down for breakfast?" Yang Fei's voice got closer and closer, and Yan Ran quickly withdrew his hand.
"Come on...... Here it comes. ”
Yan Ran walked out with small steps, without looking back, leaving Qiao Mo in place.
Yan Ran stepped forward and fled the scene with Yang Fei in his arms: "I'm really hungry, let's go." ”
Yang Fei laughed at her dotingly: "Look at you're in a hurry." ”
Yan Ran was eating, Qiao Bai pulled the suitcase and walked out of the room: "Yan Ran is up." We're going back today, and we have some business to attend to. ”
"If you have business, you can go back, I'm very idle with Yan Ran, I want to play more. Yang Fei didn't want to leave like this.
"You reminded me, you have to go back, some of my old friends from Jiangli City have asked me to go with me. "Jober sat down for breakfast.
Yang Fei didn't speak, Xu had no reason to refuse.
Yan Ran looked down at him, she didn't know how to face him, if nothing happened, at least at this moment, she couldn't do it.
