After Zhou Yanqing chatted with them for a while, he went to the small building in the back.

The small building has a total of three floors, and the door is open during the day, and the sun is good today, and the maid pushes Dou Lanying out to bask in the sun. The old lady was in a wheelchair, and the maid was sitting next to her. Occasionally, I would feed the old lady some fruit and water.

Zhou Yanqing stood on the corridor and looked at Dou Lanying from afar. After a while, when he walked over, the servant heard the footsteps, turned his head and saw him, and immediately stood up.

"Go down, I'll sit for a while. He waved his hand and said.

The servant didn't say much, bowed his head and entered the small building.

Zhou Yanqing bent over and sat on the stone bench, one hand on the stone table. He did not speak. The sun stretched the figures of the two for a long time, sprinkled warmly on their bodies, and the air was filled with the smell of grass.

Dou Lanying's hair was already completely white, her long hair was tied in a simple bun, and she was dressed in dark clothes. The whole person was skinny, with his hands in front of him, his eyes lowered, and his eyes fell on one place, not moving for a long time, like a living dead.

After a while. Zhou Yanqing reached out and peeled off an orange, reached out and handed it to her mouth, she didn't move, she didn't look up, but pursed her lips slightly, obviously rejecting his kindness.

Zhou Yanqing waited for a while, and saw that she hadn't opened her mouth, so she withdrew her hand, put the oranges on the small plate next to her, and ate all the rest.

Over the years, Zhou Yanqing occasionally came over to see her. Sitting next to her for a while, the two never spoke, Dou Lanying didn't say it, he didn't say it, after all, there was nothing to say.

According to the servant, Dou Lanying hardly spoke, except for asking people to push her to the attic to see Zhou Jingyang. She never said a word on weekdays, usually the maid pushed her to do something, and she did whatever she did, like a soulless person, only a shell remained.

Sometimes they sat together for so long that they could barely hear her breathing, and the servants who cared for her were so frightened by her that she was only asleep, but she looked as if she were dead.

The maid who took care of her was a middle-aged woman, named Meihua, who was a very sincere person, and she was meticulous to her, and would chat with her when she was fine, even if Dou Lanying never responded, but she talked to herself and enjoyed it.

When the sun completely set, Zhou Yanqing stood up, pushed her back to the house, and said, "It's cold, don't sit outside for so long." ”

Meihua hurriedly came out of the kitchen, wiped the water on her hands, took Zhou Yanqing's place, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot about it for a while." ”

"It doesn't matter. Zhou Yanqing took a step back, put her hands in her pants pockets, smiled lightly, and didn't have too much emotion.

He stood for a while and left, Dou Lanying didn't say a word from beginning to end, not even her expression changed, Zhou Yanqing walked out of the house, she slowly opened her eyes, and asked Meihua to push her to the living room to watch TV, recently she became obsessed with a family drama, waiting for time to watch it every day.

Zhou Yanqing returned to the main house and happened to have dinner. When he went to see Dou Lanying, the whole family acquiesced, and no one objected.

At the dinner table, He Jiali said: "Don't leave the two of you today, Song Jing has gone to Hong Kong, I'm bored to stay here alone, it's almost the New Year, you all go home to live, and I have prepared the room for you." Third, it's time for you to find a partner. ”

"Anyu, you are still young now, our Song family is young, you strive for two more, don't be afraid of more, I'll help you take care of the child, anyway, I'm idle every day." And the fourth, don't always be busy with work, you can't make enough money, you still have to spend more time with the people around you, this is the right thing, you know?"

Chen Flail giggled on the side and said, "Auntie, since I entered the door, have you said this more than four or five times? No wonder the third brother couldn't laugh when he heard that he was going home for dinner." ”

Song Xihe glared at Chen Flails, raised his eyebrows, and said: "When I got off work, I saw Rong Zheng's car at the door of the company, and it was all here, why didn't you bring people back?

"Hey, this Kung Pao Chicken is doing very well today, has the eldest aunt changed the chef?" Chen Flail immediately changed the topic.

He Jiali immediately picked up the conversation, nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, the third child is right." Flails, you've been talking to that Rong Zheng for a while, you're not too young, if you really think it's appropriate, the two families should sit down and have a meal together......"

"Oh, don't talk about the eldest aunt, I'm still young compared to the third brother. The third brother is not married, and I am not in a hurry at all. ”

"You're wrong, even if you're fifty years old, you can marry a Lori and go home as a wife. This woman is over thirty......" he said, couldn't help but snort twice, then looked at her sideways, raised his hand and touched her head, and said, "What about you, let's quickly let Rong Zheng propose to you, so as not to miss it, and you will cry when the time comes." ”

"You ......" Chen Flails were speechless for a while, and after a while, he suddenly seemed to think of something, raised his eyebrows, secretly twisted his thighs, and said, "Oh, I suddenly remembered, the third brother is actually not single......"

"Okay, let's not kill each other, let's let An Yu have a few more children. He raised an eyebrow as he spoke.

Chen flail looked at An Xuan, took a piece of meat and stuffed it into Song Xihe's mouth, and said, "Today's dish is so delicious, let's eat first." Auntie, you said that they finally found time to come back and have dinner with us, don't be afraid that they won't dare to come back in the future. ”

"Before this year has passed, you began to force marriage and forced birth. ”

He Jiali laughed and said, "Aren't I old, when this person is old, there are only a few of you in my head." Besides, I'm very idle on weekdays, and you don't come back often, and you're busy like a spinning top every day, so I want to go and see you, and I'm afraid of disturbing your work. No, it's rare for a few of you to sit here, and I can't help but want to nag a few words. ”

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it, eat and eat, I arranged this dish today, and I made a few dishes by myself. ”

Subsequently, a few people began to eat with Helele, Song Peili also asked people to open a bottle of wine, drank a few glasses with Zhou Yanqing, and the two chatted casually, from national events, to the global economy, and then to the economic trend of Luancheng and so on.

From the dinner table to the end of the meal, it seems to be very harmonious, and the two fathers and sons chatted harmoniously.

"I heard about the previous project on the island, and you missed it?"

Zhou Yanqing smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said, "It seems to be a miss, but no one knows who missed until the end, don't you say?"

Song Peili glanced at him deeply, pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "I am very relieved to know that you have the ability to do things at work." "The rest is drawing.

Zhou Yanqing lowered her eyes, but smiled silently.

"But I still have to remind you that you have to do things in a measured way, and many people's careers will be ruined in the hands of women. ”

Zhou Yanqing raised his eyes, talked to him for a moment, smiled, and said, "This kind of thing will definitely not happen to me, haven't you already tried it?"

Song Peili raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment, smiled, reached out and patted his leg, and said, "So, you are very successful now." ”

Zhou Yanqing pursed her lips and smiled.

"This time, the project of the Castle Peak Observatory cannot be missed again. ”

"Of course. Zhou Yanqing nodded.

He Jiali came out of the kitchen after tidying up, came out with a plate of fruit, sat between the two, and said: "Don't talk about work at home, money is endless, family is the most important thing." ”

"Yes, yes, I won't say it. He nodded, smiled slightly, and said no more.

"Fourth, go out for a walk with me, I ate too much today, and my stomach is a little swollen. ”

Zhou Yanqing nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Then, the two went outside together.

"Have you been to see Dou Lanying?"

"Yes, Meihua takes good care of her. Zhou Yanqing said.

He Jiali smiled and nodded, "Meihua is a very practical person, when she used to be a special nurse in the hospital, her reputation has always been good. I also go over to check on it from time to time, and I have a lot of food and clothing, so you can rest assured. ”

"I've never been worried about that. He smiled slightly, reached out and put his hand on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "With mom here, how can I worry about this." ”

"That's not necessarily, what if I'm not what you think? After all, I envy Dou Lanying very much in my heart. ”

Zhou Yanqing smiled lowly, smiled gently, and said, "You really like to joke, Dou Lanying's current appearance, I can't find anything that makes you feel envious." ”

He Jiali had a faint smile on her face, raised her hand and patted the back of his hand, looked back at him, and said, "Actually, neither of us has anything to envy." Overall, she's much happier than me, at least she's been happy for most of her life. ”

"There have been days when children and grandchildren have been under the knees, and most of my life has lived beautifully, and I ......" she paused when she said this, smiled faintly, shook her head, and said: "Forget it, don't talk about the past, don't be too busy, leave yourself some time to come out, money is inexhaustible, and the time to accompany your family is to live one day less than one day." ”

"Don't always be busy with work, you're successful now, enough. ”

Zhou Yanqing chuckled, "How can there be enough ** in the hearts of the people, this kind of statement? You think I've stood tall enough, but it's not enough, and in my eyes, I'm still at the bottom of the mountain, never at the top. ”

He Jiali glanced at him sideways, and even her smile faded, her eyes were slightly deep, "Fourth ......"

"Didn't you say that you don't talk about work at home? ”

He Jiali paused, then smiled lowly, nodded, and said, "Okay, I won't say it, I believe you are measured." It was not easy for our family to be reunited and live a peaceful life. ”

"No matter how long this day is, I want to cherish every day, come back to live these days, right? Just accompany me, our mother and son get together too little, you go home more to accompany me, your father asked me to go out to travel, you see if you can take a time, go out with me for two days, far away, let's go into the Buddha worship, okay? ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it. We still have a long way to go, and the good days are just beginning. ”

He Jiali pushed his head against his chest, patted him on the back, and said, "Yes, we still have a long time. Then you can come back every day and eat and walk with me, okay?"

"Good. He nodded.

That night, Zhou Yanqing and they stayed at Song's house, and Zhou Yanqing and An Yu lived together.

When An Yu returned to the room, Zhou Yanqing had just finished taking a shower, picked up his mobile phone and glanced at it, and said, "Finished talking?"

"Oh, it's just trivial. ”

"I didn't ask, what do you justify?"

An Yu paused, smiled, and said, "Mom asked me to have two more children while I was young." ”

"Oh. Zhou Yanqing responded, did not express any opinion, was silent for a while, and said, "Then take Xiaonuo over and let her take care of it." ”

"You know ......"

Zhou Yanqing interrupted her with a smile, "I'm just joking, don't take it seriously." ”

An Yu paused, didn't say anything more, took a change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

Zhou Yanqing thought about it, picked up his mobile phone, and dialed Cheng Xunxun's number.

The first call didn't go through until the second one.

"Who?"

"It's me. Zhou Yanqing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, poured a glass of red wine, and took a sip.

"Who am I?"

Zhou Yanqing chuckled, "You are Cheng Xunxun, do you still ask me?"

Cheng Xunxun was still eating, "Do you have something to do? I'm very busy right now." ”

"What are you doing?"

"What do I have to do with you?"

Zhou Yanqing said: "What do you say?"

"I hung up. ”

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly, Cheng Xunxun threw the phone aside, picked up the bowl, and took a sip of soup.

"It's getting colder and colder, do you think it will snow on Christmas Day?"

Chen Yujian handed the tissue to her and said, "What do you want for your birthday?"

"Clever, you'll be able to figure it out with me. She shook her wrist and said, "I recently saw a new bracelet come out from Cartier, and I like it." ”

Chen Yujian picked out the meat in the bowl and put it into her bowl, "Got it." ”

Cheng Xunxun shook his body and looked proud.

……

On New Year's Day, Chen Yujian arranged a trip, which was originally a trip for two people, but Sun Jie intercepted Cheng Xunxun early in the morning, took her to the rose garden, handed her a key, and said: "This is the house I prepared for you, the management here is very strict, I guarantee that Zhou Yanqing will not find you, even if he finds it, he will not be able to enter." ”

"On the other hand, this is my birthday present to you, and you are not allowed to refuse. As he spoke, he shoved the key into the palm of her hand, and pushed her, saying, "Go in and see." ”

It can be seen from Sun Jie's expression that there must be a surprise carefully prepared by him in this room, although Cheng Xunxun can somehow guess what this surprise is.

She took two steps, walked back again, and said, "Let's look at it tomorrow, Chen Yujian is ready, let's go out." Do you want to come along?"

"Okay, but you'll have to go in and have a look. ”

Sun Jie is very persistent.

Cheng Xunxun had no choice but to open the door and go in, as soon as he opened the door, there was a road paved with petals, Cheng Xunxun raised his eyebrows slightly, looked back at him, Sun Jie leaned against the wall with his arms folded, looked at her with a smile, and raised his chin.

Cheng Xunxun took a breath and walked in, all the way through, there was always a small gift at a point, those were the memories of their relationship in the past few years, some carefully prepared small objects.

There are a lot of hydrogen balloons suspended in the room, and there are photos hanging under the balloons, all of which are photos of Cheng Xunchun when she was in Edinburgh, all taken secretly, in the photos, she is holding a camera to take pictures, and without her knowing, someone behind her is filming her.

Cheng Xunxun was a little surprised by these photos, and he never expected this kind of photo.

She went all the way, and finally stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling window upstairs, there was a wedding dress hanging on the window, the sun was shining through the window on the white wedding dress, the scene was beautiful, even if Cheng Xunchun had been prepared, seeing the wedding dress, his heart was more or less touched.

A woman has no resistance to a wedding dress.

She stood there for a while before she reacted, this wedding dress looked like haute couture, she touched it lightly and took a breath.

There was a glass case next to the wedding dress, on which was placed a box, which Cheng opened and placed several cards inside.

Each one has a post-it note on it, and it is marked on it.

Cheng Xunxun finished reading it, and there was a chain underneath. Look at the size should be the anklet.

Sun Jie reached out and picked up the chain, and squatted down without saying a word.

Cheng Xunxun was startled, and couldn't help but take a step back, Sun Jie reached out and held her ankle, "Don't move, I'll put it on for you first." ”

"Don't do it, I don't like to wear anklets, besides, it's winter now, and I can't see it when I wear it so much. ”

Sun Jie ignored her words and forcibly put it on her.

"Alright. ”

"This ......" Cheng Xunxun stuck those cards in his hand and said, "I'm just a birthday, and your gift is a little bigger." ”

Sun Jie held her hand, and even held those cards tightly in his hand, "You take it, I have other cards, the money will not be less, where do I store these in you, in case something happens to me one day, I can come to you." ”

"Why do you keep saying these things?"

"Life is impermanent, to be on the safe side, leave yourself a back road, you are my back road. ”

The two glanced at each other, Cheng Xunxun turned his head, and after a little struggle, he broke free of his hand and said, "Chen Yujian has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Well, let's go. ”

Subsequently, several people set off together and went to the largest Buddhist temple in Luancheng.

There are a lot of people who come, and after taking the cable car, they have to walk a lot, the three of them Chen Yujian walked in the front, Cheng Xunxun walked in the middle, and Sun Jie followed behind.

There were a lot of people along the way, and it was a lot empty when I got to the top of the mountain.

Zhou Yanqing deliberately set aside time today to accompany He Jiali here, but they came early and had lunch in the Buddhist temple, and the abbot in the Buddhist temple also came out to receive them.

Cheng Xunxi was very pious when he worshiped the Buddha, and knelt for a long time in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, just when He Jiali and the abbot came from the backyard.

Zhou Yanqing saw Cheng Xunxun at a glance, there were several aunts kneeling beside her, she put her hands together, her eyes closed and she was very pious, she didn't know what she was asking for, and she didn't know how long she had been kneeling like this.

A lot of them came, and Song Peili came.

Chen Yujian walked around outside, and when she walked to the door, she saw He Jiali and them at a glance, and immediately stopped.

immediately hid behind the door, Sun Jie was by Cheng Xunxun's side, she had no distractions, and naturally she didn't know what was going on.

After a while, he bent down and kowtowed, then stepped forward and stuffed some money into the merit box, saying, "What about Chen Yujian?"

Sun Jie smiled and said, "I can't see that you still believe in this." ”

Cheng Xunxun smiled silently, in fact, she didn't believe it much, since she came, then say goodbye.

As soon as she turned around, she swept Zhou Yanqing in her afterglow, and immediately stopped, her eyes swept away, and there was An Yu standing next to him.

For some reason, Cheng Xunxun turned around with some reflex, grabbed Sun Jie's hand, and said, "Let's go take a look elsewhere." ”

"Okay. Sun Jie naturally noticed her abnormality, glanced in her direction, raised his eyebrows slightly, reached out to stop her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”

With a light smile in his eyes, Zhou Yanqing followed them for a while and said, "I'll go to the side and smoke a cigarette." ”

"You can't bear it?" He Jiali heard the sound and glanced back at him.

"I can't help it. Zhou Yanqing laughed.

The abbot pointed out a way and told him to go outside the temple to smoke.

Zhou Yanqing went out when he heard the sound.

An Yu glanced at him, but didn't say much.

Song Peili took a step back, walked to her side, and whispered, "I saw Cheng Xunxun." ”

"Really?" said Anyu after a pause.

Song Peili glanced at her and didn't say anything, but the smile in his eyes decreased a little.

Sun Jie went to worship the God of Wealth, Cheng Xunxun waited outside for a while, and when he saw Anyu and them, he avoided some conditioned reflexes.

As a result, the three of them were separated in this huge temple.

Cheng Xunxuan walked and walked to the backyard, the temple was very magnificently repaired, and the scenery on the mountain was also very good, but it was a little colder. The backyard of the temple is clean and built much like a house in ancient times.

Cheng Xunshun walked around, and when he walked near the meditation room, he found a monk sitting on a stone bench in a small courtyard.

She was about to go over when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist behind her and dragged her away.

The monk heard the movement and glanced back, and then a small monk came from the other side and said, "Master Jingxu, you wait a while, the abbot will come soon." ”

"It's okay, we've been talking for a long time yesterday, and it's almost time for me to leave, so you can tell the abbot for me. ”

Jingxu stood up and said goodbye with a smile.

After the little monk said a few words to save him, he personally sent Jingxu down the mountain.

Cheng Xunxun was dragged all the way out of the back door of the Buddhist temple.

There are mountain roads outside, Cheng Xunxuan struggled for a while, and said: "Zhou Yanqing, let go, the land of Buddhism, what do you do Buddha watch!"

Zhou Yanqing stopped and turned around suddenly, Cheng Xunxuan didn't stand firm for a while, and hit him straight into his arms, and Zhou Yanqing hugged her.

and bowed his head and kissed her on the lips.

Cheng Xunxun was shocked and pressed his chin, "You are sick......!

Before she finished speaking, Zhou Yanqing interrupted her, "You prayed in front of the Buddha for so long just now, what wish did you make?"

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Xunxun's mobile phone rang, she broke free from his embrace, took a few steps back, took out her mobile phone and took a look, it was Sun Jie.

She picked up the phone, and Sun Jie asked, "Where are you? Why did you disappear in a blink of an eye?"

"You wait for me at the gate of the Temple of the God of Wealth, and I will come here. She hung up the phone with that.

Cheng Xunxun glanced back at him and whispered: "The main palace is around to restrain yourself, if you make trouble in this kind of place, no one will look good." ”

Zhou Yanqing dragged her back, leaned against the wall, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for so many days, I miss you." If you endure for a few more days, I will soon be back to you, and I will love you the most. ”

His appearance was very frivolous, Cheng Xunxun frowned, glanced at him, and said, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

He glanced out of his corner to the small door, a figure swaying, the corners of his lips furrowed, and he looked down just in time to see the Cartier bracelet on her wrist.

Reached out and took her hand and said, "It's beautiful, who sent it?"
