Zhou Yanqing didn't react for a long time, Song Peili raised his eyes and glanced at him, his eyes wandered over his face for a moment, and said, "What's the matter? Do you have any opinions? I remember that Song Nuo had been taken care of by An Yu before. You've never been careful. ”

He smiled slightly, pulled out the chair, bent down to sit down, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Anyu was busy with work before, and he often had to go on business trips, so he handed over Song Nuo to me, since he handed it over to me." Naturally, I have to take good care of it. I didn't expect Dad to let Song Nuo come back at this time, so I arranged for someone to take him out on a trip. In the past, Anyu did this, so as not to let him always ask why he didn't accompany him during the New Year. ”

"Let him come back. Song Peili nodded, his attitude was very firm, and said: "Then we will stay for one more day, and when he comes, we will go to the old mansion together for the New Year, is it okay?"

Zhou Yanqing lowered his eyes, his fingers lightly touched his knees, and when the words fell, there was silence in the study, and no one spoke. After a while, Song Peili spoke. Say, "What's wrong? Do you have a problem with my decision?" or do you have anything else to say?"

"Since you have said so, I think it must have been decided after careful consideration, and you know that I have no feelings for this child. After all, his biological mother is not something that our Song family can accept. ”

Before he finished speaking, Song Peili interrupted him and said with a smile: "Hasn't he always called Mother Anyu?"

Zhou Yanqing raised his eyes and met his gaze, Song Peili had a smile in his eyes and a calm expression, "In my opinion, An Yu's mother is quite competent, and she is also very good to Song Nuo." In my eyes, An Yu is Song Nuo's biological mother, and your mother also hopes to have children and grandchildren under Chenghuan's knees, and there is a child here, and the family will be more lively. ”

"You don't say any of them. Actually, I know that they all like Song Nuo very much in private, and I also figured out that he is my grandson after all, and I can't let him suffer outside, so take it back. You and Anyu are so obsessed with work, this child will be left to me and your mother to take care of, so you don't have to be distracted. ”

Song Peili had already said this, Zhou Yanqing had no reason to refuse, he smiled lightly and said, "Okay, I'll make a call and ask them where they are, and try to rush back." ”

He nodded, answered, and didn't say anything more.

In the evening, An Yu came out of the shower, Zhou Yanqing sat in the study and read the documents, and An Yu wiped his head. While pushing open the sliding door, he stood at the door and said, "Is Xiaonuo back?"

"Come back. Probably before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, how? What do you want to ask?" Zhou Yanqing put down the document in his hand and looked up at her.

"No, just ask. You arranged for someone to take Xiaonuo out for a trip, why didn't you tell me, I didn't see him when I went there today, I was startled, and I thought something was wrong. An Yu put the towel on his shoulder, walked in, stood in front of the desk, and said with a smile: "It's rare that Dad is willing to let Xiaonuo come back, so that even if you and I don't have time to spend with him, and grandparents are by your side, he will be very happy." ”

"yes. Zhou Yanqing smiled, echoed, and immediately changed the tone, "But after all, he is the child born to Tang Weixi, and his father's hatred for the Zhou and Tang families is so deep, you love Xiaonuo so much, aren't you afraid that Xiaonuo will suffer when he comes back?"

"No, it won't. Mom likes Xiaonuo very much, and so does my aunt, you don't know that they have all been to see Xiaonuo in private in the past few years, and I don't know how much food and clothing they bought for Xiaonuo. She had a bright smile on her face, obviously she was very happy that Song Nuo could really return to the Song family and become a member of the Song family.

Zhou Yanqing raised his eyebrows, nodded, and said, "If you want to let Xiaonuo come back, you have also put a lot of effort into it, right?"

"This, it still depends on Dad's own intentions, no matter how much the people next to us say, it's useless. In fact, his attitude has softened in recent years, you should know why. The departure of the second brother hit him quite hard. ”

Zhou Yanqing smiled slightly, bent down and picked up the bag on the side, took out the bright red scarf inside, and handed it to An Yu.

"What is this?" Anyu paused, and as you could tell from the color of the scarf, it was a women's scarf.

"Go burn it for Zhou Chan, the old lady hit it herself. ”

"Oh. An Yu reached out and took it, folding the scarf neatly.

Immediately, he took out another black one, "This is for Zhou Yanzhen." ”

Hearing this, An Yu paused, his expression was a little panicked, his eyes moved slightly, he couldn't help but look up at him, laughed dryly, and said, "What are you doing? You won't let me help you send these scarves out, right?"

Zhou Yanqing glanced at her, smiled slightly, and said, "I just want to show you this old lady's thoughts." In the past, when the family was complete, she had never done such a thing, and most of the time she was assisting Zhou Jingyang and making the foundation impressive. But he didn't put too much thought on his children, and now he is finally willing to put his mind on his children, but it's too late. ”

He didn't take out the scarf of any other color, the black scarf was placed in front of An Yu's eyes, and he could reach for it. She pursed her lips, frowned imperceptibly, smiled dryly, and said, "Yes, I really can't imagine that the old lady can still make wool." ”

"I think it's a good fight. Zhou Yanqing reached out and touched the black scarf, chuckled, and said, "After Zhou Yanzhen was released from prison, he evaporated from the world, who does this let me give the scarf, do you have Zhou Yanzhen's whereabouts?"

"Nope. An Yu replied almost without thinking.

Zhou Yanqing glanced at her, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, and said, "That's it." ”

"If you really can't find it, don't send it, according to the temperament of the Zhou family, they won't be rare about this. An Yu picked up the red scarf and said, "Don't bother you to read the documents, I'm out." You don't have to watch it for too long, it's the New Year, everyone has a holiday, you can also give yourself a holiday. ”

Zhou Yanqing leaned back in the chair, nodded, and said, "Got it." ”

Zhou Yanqing watched An Yu go out, and until he closed the door, he withdrew his gaze, raised his hand and touched his chin, pursed his lips and smiled, reached out and took the black scarf back, and threw it into the bag.

The next afternoon, Song Peili arranged the car, and went back to the old house with He Jiali and them, and Zhou Yanqing and An Yu stayed behind to wait for Song Nuo.

Before Song Peili got into the car, he turned his head and asked Zhou Yanqing, "When will you arrive tomorrow?"

Zhou Yanqing said: "I should be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon." ”

He pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Don't delay the family reunion, you know?"

"Yes. ”

Song Peili nodded, then bent over and got into the car, An Yu stayed with Zhou Yanqing to wait for Song Nuo to come, and when the group got into the car, the two took a step back, waved their hands at them, and the car started slowly and slowly disappeared in front of their eyes.

Zhou Yanqing patted An Yu's waist and said, "Go in." ”

She smiled and nodded, turned around and grabbed his arm, and helped him inside.

……

At night, Zhou Yanan knocked on Rong Zheng's door, he had just finished taking a shower, his hair was still wet, and his cheeks were still stained with water droplets, he opened the door and turned around and walked in, saying, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Yanan held a snack in his hand, followed in, and said, "My mother made a pastry, let me bring it up for you to taste." ”

Rong Zheng bent over and sat on the sofa, lowered his head and wiped his hair, stretched out his hand and pointed at randomly, and said, "Put it on the table first, I'll eat it later." ”

Zhou Yanan answered, walked over and put the plate in his hand on the table, took a piece of it and put it in his mouth, and then put his hands behind his back and walked around his room.

Rong Zheng's room is very large, including the study, the whole is open, modern and simple decoration, mainly black and white. Zhou Yanan walked to his desk, flipped through the pages, there was a photo frame next to the computer, she reached out and looked at it, and when she saw the photo in the frame, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Rong Zheng wiped his hair, looked up, and saw that Zhou Yanan was nowhere to be seen, and when he looked back, he found that she was standing in front of the bookshelf, not knowing what she was looking for.

"What's the matter?" he stood up, raised his hand to fix his hair, tossed the towel aside, and turned to face her, waiting for her to speak.

Zhou Yanan put his hands behind his back, looked up at the books on the shelves that looked particularly esoteric, took a breath, raised a smile, turned around, and the two looked at each other up and down. Rong Zheng narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his gaze away, and said, "Is that the thing again? Knowing that it is impossible, you still don't give up." As he spoke, he bent down to pick up the glass on the coffee table and took a sip of warm water.

"Just because it didn't work at the beginning doesn't mean it doesn't work now. And your relationship with Chen Flails, I think as long as you say it, she will definitely agree. Otherwise, there is Zhou Yanqing. Uncle, I'm just going to worship him. Zhou Yanan said, walked to his side, his eyes were full of pleading, and said: "Uncle, you can help me once, I have begged you so many times, can't you help me once?"

"It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I helped you, what can you do if you go to Song Nanmu's grave and put a stick of incense? You should also know how he died, and who he died with in the end. Don't tell me that the reason why you don't marry until now is because of him. He snorted and said, "Even if he's still alive, what do you think are the odds of the two of you being together?"

"I know all of this, but I don't care. When I broke up with him, I didn't think about being with him again, I got together with him and broke up, maybe he approached me for a purpose, but in the end he didn't do anything, didn't he? I don't usually have anything to ask you for, so can't you help me with this one thing?"

Rong Zheng glanced at her sideways and said, "Then you promise me one thing." "Mu Dong Guangji.

Zhou Yanan squinted his eyes, and could roughly guess what he wanted to say, Rong Zheng raised his eyebrows, broke free of her hand, bent over and sat on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, clasped his arms with both hands, and said with a smile: "Looking at your expression, you are not very happy, so forget it." ”

"You say, what do you want me to promise you? Zhou Yanan pursed his mouth, sat beside him, wrinkled his brows, although he was not very happy, but he still compromised.

"Don't go out this year, stay in Luancheng, I'll arrange a stable job for you, and accompany your mother well." ”

"Hush. Zhou Yanan snorted, glanced at him, clasped his arms with both hands, straightened his back, and said, "Where is this one thing, there are obviously three of them." She said, gesturing to a three.

"Then you can say yes or no. ”

Zhou Yanan naturally agreed, had to agree, and couldn't help but agree.

Rong Zheng chuckled and said, "I knew it was so easy, I threatened you like this two years ago." ”

"I wouldn't have said yes for the first two years. The smile on Zhou Yanan's face faded, he looked sideways, and the whole person became a little calm, she said: "Before he had an accident, he called me once, and the call was only halfway through, and I have always dreamed all these years." I wonder if he also wants to see me once, uncle, what will he say to me if the phone is not disconnected?"

"Say goodbye. Rong Zheng replied.

Zhou Yanan frowned, raised his hand and slapped his arm, saying, "No kidding." ”

"I'm not kidding you, he just didn't have time to say goodbye to you. Or what do you think he's going to say to you? Do I love you?"

When Zhou Yanan heard this, his whole heart trembled, his throat astringent, he swallowed saliva unconsciously, straightened his back, and hesitated for a long time before he changed the topic and said, "So, I should also say goodbye to him, otherwise this dream will haunt me for the rest of my life, and I will be in pain." ”

"Okay, okay, that's it, I'll go back to rest. With that, she quickly stood up and prepared to leave.

The change in the expression on her face, Rong Zheng naturally saw it in his eyes, and his eyes kept falling on her, until she walked to the door, Rong Zheng said: "Forget it, he must also hope that you will forget him, live a good life, and find someone who loves you well to marry." He loves Wu and Wu, he loves Zhou Chan, so he didn't persecute you in the end. It is also a good ending for him to die with the person he loves, and you should also let go of it and not have any delusions. ”

Zhou Yanan raised his lips silently, but without the slightest smile, nodded and said, "I know." ”

"And what you asked me to do, don't report too much hope, the people of the Song family are very prejudiced against people surnamed Zhou, and the relationship between me and Chen Flail is not as deep as you think, she may not agree to my request. As for the old five...... Zhou Yanqing, you also know that he is different from before. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, you know?"

"Good. She answered, not saying much.

As soon as the words fell, she opened the door and went out, Rong Zheng looked at the closed door and sighed lowly.

Zhou Yanan went downstairs to accompany Rong Ping to tidy up the kitchen, and the mother and daughter sat and chatted for a while before returning to their rooms to rest. She was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and the phone call back then seemed like it was just yesterday.

Back then, when she received that phone call, she would never have thought that it was the last phone call, the last call he gave her. At that time, she was already in Tibet, and the call came during the day, she was in class, and she didn't want to answer it, but she accidentally saw the number displayed on the screen, and she almost didn't hesitate to let the students study on their own, so she took it out, found a place where no one was, and picked it up.

She deeply remembered that the weather was very cold that day, but the sun hated it strongly, she stood in the sun, her heart was pounding, she never thought that one day, Chen Nanmu would call her.

"Hey. The first words she spoke were cautious.

The other end of the phone was very quiet, very quiet, Zhou Yanan remembered that day she put it tightly to her ear, and slowly she heard his breathing, very shallow and light, if she wasn't listening attentively, she couldn't hear it, but she heard it.

"I'm Chen Nanmu. After a while, he spoke, his voice still cold, indifferent, and emotionless.

Zhou Yanan chuckled and said, "I know, I know it's you." ”

"Hmm. He answered, and the two fell silent again, as if they could not find a topic.

Zhou Yanan's hand tightened, he thought for a while, he kept thinking about what topic to talk about, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Nanmu spoke, and he said, "What are you doing?"

"Ah, I'm teaching in Tibetan areas now, and the sky here is so blue that I always feel very close to the sky, as if I can touch the sky as soon as I stretch out my hand. The children here are also very simple, innocent and especially cute. If you have the chance, you can also come and see it. Zhou Yanan said, looking up at the sky.

"Well, you deserve better. ”

"What about you, what are you doing?" Zhou Yanan said.

"Zhou Yanan. He did not answer her, but called her by her name, and he rarely called her by her first name, especially if it was called by her first name.

"Huh?" she replied, a smile in her tone.

However, before Chen Nanmu could speak, a woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, calling Chen Nanmu, and then the phone hung up, Zhou Yanan couldn't get through when she called again, and then she went back to Luancheng once, only to know that Zhou Chan had an accident in the United States, and together with Chen Nanmu, they were almost killed and killed.

There are no bones left.

Zhou Yanan couldn't believe that this was true, and asked about the time of the accident, which happened to be the day she received the call, no wonder no matter when she called that number, she couldn't get through.

She opened her eyes, and some of the ghosts reached for her number on the bedside table, her number had not been changed, and she planned not to change it for the rest of her life, what if? What if one day, she got that call again?

She clicked on the address book, and pulled it to the end, she saved the number, but there was no note, it was just a lonely string of numbers. Her thumb touched it slightly, and who knew that it would be dialed out like this, she was slightly dumbfounded, and her heart was lifted. Since she knew that Chen Nanmu had an accident, she never tried to call this number again.

Not all the time, today is the first time.

She stared at the screen with burning eyes, and time passed minute by minute, but in just a few seconds, Zhou Yanan felt that it was very long, as if a century had passed.

When the call was answered, Zhou Yanan was startled.

"Hey, which one?" was a man's voice, which sounded a little young, but she was sure that it was not Chen Nanmu's voice.

Zhou Yanan was stunned and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, disappointment is certain, but how can he not be disappointed. If Chen Nanmu was really alive, he wouldn't use this number.

"Hey, hello, may I ask who you are?" the person on the other end of the line waited for a moment and asked again.

Zhou Yanan hung up the phone directly, and after a while, he sent a text message, 'Sorry, I made the wrong call. ’

The other party didn't respond, but Zhou Yanan felt a little nervous in his heart, and after a while, he couldn't help but send a text message, 'Why do you use this number?'

A few seconds later, her ringing, Zhou Yanan's hand shook, and it smashed directly on her face, her fingers accidentally slipped, and she actually picked up the phone, and she let out a painful sound. The person on the other end of the phone naturally heard it, and was silent for a while before he spoke up and said, "Who are you?"

Zhou Yanan smiled dryly and said, "Stranger." ”

……

Song Nuo was sent to Song's house on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhou Yanqing and An Yu stood at the door waiting together, the car slowly came, stopped steadily in front of them, the door of the back seat opened, Song Nuo Lisuo got out of the car, carrying a small school bag, ran straight towards them, when running to Zhou Yanqing, suddenly came to a sudden brake, looked him up and down, and then threw himself into An Yu's arms.

"Mom and Dad, I'm here!"

An Yu picked him up, straightened his messy hair, and said with a smile: "How is it?

"It's fun, but it's not fun if it's just Xiaonuo alone. Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you old, you have to use crutches. ”

Without waiting for Zhou Yanqing to speak, An Yu explained: "Dad is injured. ”

Xiao Nuo opened his mouth, he didn't know what he thought, and he didn't close his mouth, his little hand was against his little mouth, and he looked thoughtful, and his brows furrowed.

In the afternoon, they packed their things, prepared their cars and set off for the old house. An Yu sat in the second seat, and Zhou Yanqing sat in the back seat with Xiaonuo.

Xiaonuo has always been uneasy, always tilting his head to look at Zhou Yanqing, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Dad. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Daddy, Daddy. ”

"Hmm. Zhou Yanqing looked down and responded.

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy. ”

Zhou Yanqing frowned, glanced at him sideways, and said, "What do you want to say, you say." ”

Xiao Nuo hooked his finger and motioned for him to come over, Zhou Yanqing raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything, and leaned over. Immediately, Xiao Nuo threw himself into his ear and whispered, "Dad, were you beaten by Sister Xiao Cheng?"

"What are you saying, God who is mysterious, biting your ears? An Yu glanced back, and saw the intimacy of their father and son, but she was very happy, and said jokingly: "Why am you not allowed to listen to it?"

Xiao Nuo nodded, patted his chest with one hand, and said in a milky voice: "This is a matter between boys and boys, you are a girl, you can't listen." ”

Zhou Yanqing sat up straight, thought about the scene where they fell down the mountain, glanced sideways at Xiao Nuo, and said, "Yes." ”

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Nuo looked like he was about to burst out with the power of the wilderness, and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will avenge you." ”

"Okay. ”

When I arrived at the old house, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaonuo fell asleep on the road, and he didn't wake up when he got out of the car, so An Yu carried him to the room.

He Jiali was very happy to see Xiao Nuo, her eyes were full of smiles, and she said: "Xiao Nuo is here, it will be lively, I have to go and wrap a big red envelope." ”

Song Jing catered to the side, nodded, and said, "Yes, yes, I'm going to pack a big one too." ”

With that, they went upstairs, and Zhou Yanqing went to the living room.

Not long after, Xiao Nuo woke up, An Yu took him down, and called people separately, most of the people here Xiao Nuo had seen, except for Song Peili, who was relatively unfamiliar, he was familiar with everyone else.

"Xiaonuo, this is grandpa. ”

Song Peili looked more serious, there was no smile on his face, he looked a little fierce, Xiao Nuo was a little timid, pinched An Yu's fingers, and shouted, "Grandpa." ”

Song Peili pursed his lips and smiled, reached out and touched his head, and said, "Good, come here, let me hug me." ”

Xiao Nuo turned her head to look at An Yu, she nodded, and Xiao Nuo walked over and opened her hands.
