29. The old house of the Ji family
"Lao Tzu can't come back, do you care?"
This is not a question sentence, because after Ji Linchuan finished asking, he didn't want to hear her answer at all, he raised his feet and went to the side hall.
When he returned, he took the palm of his hand closed, poured a glass of water, rested it on the long table, turned around and carried her to the high stool with one hand, clamped her restless feet between his legs, came up and pinched her mandible, held up the back of his head, and stuffed a capsule and two white pills into it without waiting for her to react.
"Swallow!" he brought the rim of the cup to her mouth, and although she drank the water, the medicine was still sticking to her throat, and the water melted away, choking her throat, and she hunched her forehead against his chest, frowning bitterly, and her fingers reached in and picked at her throat.
"Don't move...... Ji Linchuan grabbed his wrist and continued to pour her water, his eyes as cold as frost until she swallowed the medicine completely, then he put down the cup and let go of his legs.
Pushing him away and jumping off the high stool, she hugged the trash can and coughed violently, she didn't take Western medicine since she was a child, and when she smelled the smell from her throat, her stomach began to contract and retch.
Ji Linchuan pinched the empty dark beer can so loudly, the frozen coolness of the can body was still there, piercing his palm, his eyebrows condensed with coldness, and he reprimanded, "If you don't taste a little bitterness, you just don't have a long memory!"
At this time, a phone rang in the distance, Ji Linchuan glanced at it squintly, threw away the jar, went to the living room to take out the mobile phone in his coat, and then threw the clothes on the back of the sofa, and slowly, a piece of paper fell from it.
He only cared about listening to the phone, and the voice from the other end made him frown slightly, half ringing, and said unhurriedly, "It's not tomorrow's flight, it's been changed, why don't you say it in advance?"
When he put away his mobile phone and turned around, Ouyang Yuyou stood behind him, holding the plane ticket she had just picked up, she stared at it and whispered, "You went to Taiwan......?"
"I think about it too much, there is a project contract over there, and I have this itinerary early in the morning, but I just got to know your old friend by the way. ”
"With your means, you should find out a lot of things about him, why don't you tell them all?"
Ji Linchuan stared at her with a cold smile, "It's a lot of interesting things, don't worry, when you are free, Lao Tzu will tell you, by the way, appreciate your stimulated appearance." ”
An hour later.
Ji Linchuan rushed to the airport, but Ouyang Yuyou refused to come, and in the end, he was forced to bring him over as if he were a prisoner.
People came and went at the exit of the airport, and they were seen in a conspicuous position from a distance.
Mrs. Ji was dressed in a dignified black dress, her face was gloomy, she was holding the shawl on her body, and the thumb-sized pearl studs were worn behind her earlobes, her skin was extremely well maintained, and although her face was full of anger, there was no trace of old fine lines.
Standing next to him were Lao Chen and his wife, they knew Mrs. Ji's temper very well, she said that if she didn't leave, she wouldn't leave, no one could persuade her, so she could only wait for Ji Linchuan to come, let her have a good time, and then relieve her anger.
The two came to the front, Mrs. Ji looked at her watch, and hung her for an hour!
She raised her eyes and looked her son up and down after a long time, a flash of blame flashed in her eyes, but when she looked at the woman next to her with hanging eyes, her face became cold.
Although I wanted to reprimand him a second ago, when I looked at the angular side face again, I began to feel distressed, stood up and said, "I have lost a lot of weight, look at my son, marry an unconscious daughter-in-law, what has he been tortured into?"
Ouyang Yuyou lowered her eyebrows and looked indifferent, because she was held by his ten fingers, her originally cowardly heart added a little courage, he took the luggage cart in his entourage's hand by himself, pushed it with one hand, and still held her tightly with his right hand, completely deaf to Mrs. Ji's words.
Secretary Lin received a call from Mr. Ji and hurriedly went to the housekeeping company to bring the two aunts to the Ji family's old house in advance according to the address given by Mr. Ji.
She has been in the company for more than two years, and this is also the first time she has met the former chairman of Fansen.
The gentleman beside the white wall of Daiwa bloomed beautifully, swaying in the wind overhead.
After waiting for more than 20 minutes, I saw Mr. Ji and his party get out of the car, and Secretary Lin went up to take the luggage.
Pushing open the two solid wood doors, accompanied by the old and low sound of the door shaft, Mrs. Ji looked at it and complained: "You two have come over to take care of it, and see that this good courtyard has become a barren grassland, I really don't know what you are busy with all day." ”
Although the words are "the two of you", who doesn't know that Ji Linchuan manages this Fansen and Tengyuan, and it is normal to be entangled in business every day, and this complaint is of course for the silent daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Ji is a lone seedling, since he was a child, even if he went to the house to uncover the tiles, dropped the precious porcelain at home, and damaged his father's precious calligraphy and paintings, she just poked his forehead and scolded the bastard, and then helped him clean up the mess.
In short, Mrs. Ji will not let Ji Linchuan suffer the slightest grievance in this family.
Regarding this, Ouyang Yuyou has understood this since she was a child.
Entering the living room, Mrs. Ji saw that it was spotlessly clean, she sat on the rattan chair in the side hall, and asked Lao Chen to take the luggage upstairs.
Seeing that the flower tea jar in the closet was newly bought, Aunt Chen thought about it, come and clean here, and know who else is the person who bought this?
She snorted coldly and looked at her lightly, walked around the jar of flower tea with her hand, took the Yunnan Pu'er stored in previous years, pinched it out, and brewed a small pot and brought it over.
Secretary Lin couldn't get used to drinking tea, thanked him, and took it and put it on the table.
In a blink of an eye, I saw this rarely seen Mrs. Ji, wearing a plain and simple long skirt, with a round neck and buttons, and her hair draped over her shoulders with strange colors, standing at the door with an indifferent expression, she leaned against the door frame without saying a word, the people of the Ji family seemed to be accustomed to it, and they didn't even take care of it, and they didn't even bring her a cup of tea.
"Mrs. Ji. ”
Ouyang Yuyou slowly turned her head, looked down at the tea handed by Secretary Lin, and then turned her head again, and said softly in her mouth, "Thank you, I don't drink this." ”
At this time, Aunt Chen glanced at it and said, "This house is dirty enough, it should be cleaned up inside and out." Miss Lin, I'm sorry for you to ask them to work hard. ”
Secretary Lin observed the words and looks, and saw early in the morning that Aunt Chen did not look like a simple maid in the Ji family, so he did so.
Ouyang Yuyou is like a lonely shadow, existing in a place where others can't see according to the light.
Mrs. Ji stood in the courtyard at the door, pointed to the agarwood tree in front of her and turned back to Lao Chen and said, "I don't think this tree is growing well this year, you take the time to go up and take a look, is it infected with diseases and insects again?"
Lao Chen looked up thoughtfully, and Aunt Chen was also standing under the tree, and suddenly said, "If that kid is here, he will definitely climb up without saying a word, he is very good." ”
Every word in this sentence, Ouyang Yuyou couldn't ignore it, her eyes were extremely complicated, and her heart was as if she had been splashed with sulfuric acid, and the pain was so painful.
Suddenly, the corners of Ji Linchuan's lips appeared next to her earlobes, the hot breath exhaled was mixed with the fragrance of tea, and a small voice said, "Follow me." ”
Wrists were bound by him and went to the remote corner of the backyard, they walked faster and faster, as if back to childhood, through the long porch, avoiding the adults to take her to play in the shade, she ran briskly, calling him Brother Linchuan.
Walking to the foot of the thick kapok tree, he pressed her against the tree, stretched out his hand and pressed it on top of her head, gestured, lowered his hand, and scraped her nose, "It's not long at all, and it's still shrinking?"
She looked back suspiciously, and it turned out that he had measured her height, and the marks engraved on it were already higher than the top of her head.
When a person grows, the tree grows, and the scars on its body will heal and become shallow, but unfortunately the human heart will not.
She looked up at the branches of the kapok tree, the leaves were like umbrellas, and she also helped add water when Uncle Ji planted the kapok tree.
Stunned, the two lips that she raised her head and opened slightly were flushed, seeing Ji Linchuan's Adam's apple churning, she suddenly reached out and kissed her hard.
The body of the tree acts as a barrier, one with its head bowed and the other with its face tilted, at just the right angle.
In less than three seconds, Ji Linchuan let out a dull pain, her calf was kicked by her, and she chased after her lips and tongue before stopping, and finally grabbed her lower lip and bit her hard before stopping.
A group of flower and wood workers came to the house to clean up the front yard, plant new flower seedlings, according to the habits of the seasonal family, the four seasons are staggered, and the flowers of each season are blooming again and again, round after round.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen went outside to buy ingredients, and Mrs. Ji was a little tired, so she went back to the room to rest.
Ouyang Yuyou sat by the window of the side hall, looking at the lotus pond in a daze, and several workers wearing one-piece rubber coats went down to dredge the living water, and the air was filled with a smell of stagnant water and decay.
Suddenly, Ji Linchuan staggered down from the upstairs, he returned to his usual cold eyes, dragged her upstairs, and dragged her upstairs, his messy steps made the wooden stairs creak.
After going home for a long time, he asked her to go upstairs, but she couldn't go away, and waited for him to enter the room......
At this moment, he pointed to the location where the wedding photos were originally placed, and asked in a low voice: "Where did those photos go!"
She rubbed her wrist, looked up, and said, "I don't know." ”
"Don't know?" Ji Linchuan glared at her with unangry eyes, "You are the only one here who has come back, you don't know!"
Ouyang Yuyou nodded lightly, "Yes, if you ask me to clean up, I will listen to you and throw away all the things that are in the way, anyway, those are no different from garbage." ”
Ji Linchuan restrained the anger on his face, turned his steps on the spot, turned around, and said, "Where is my bottom line, you know very well! Usually you follow me, although you are crazy, now that they have returned, I want this home to be quiet and quiet, as before, there must be no more mistakes, you give me a little measure, and I will never spare you if I make trouble again!"
Her eyes flowed, and she turned to him and asked, "Why should I cooperate with you?"
Ji Linchuan gritted his teeth and grabbed her neck, "Just because you owe this family a life!"
