He Majesty replied respectfully to Mrs. Ouyang: "Madam, my father and Wan Lao have discussed, it is more appropriate for you to keep the manuscript, after all...... What do you see?"

Mrs. Ouyang took the manuscript with her hand and said: "It is very suitable for anyone to keep it, there is nothing special, I believe everyone will cherish the author's hard work." I borrow the manuscript for the time being, because I still have some of the author's pen and ink there, and if the book is really published, I can also take it out and reflect each other. ”

He Ma thought for a while, nodded and praised: "Yes, if there is other pen and ink from the author, it will indeed add a lot of color to the book." So Madame agrees with my father's plan to publish a book?"

"Hey, what do I agree or disagree with, Mr. He's good wishes, Mr. He, you have done so much preparatory work, I believe that the book will be successfully published. The manuscript is placed with me for the time being, and I would like to convey my gratitude, and since the book has been published in Hong Kong, I have a proposal that your father and Mr. Wan Lao come to Hong Kong, so that I may make a little bit of the friendship of the landlords, so that they can be together and witness the publication of this book together. ”

"Yes, I will convey Madame's good intentions. Seeing Bai Yulan and the waiter pushing the dining cart over, He Majesty got up and said goodbye: "It turns out that Mrs. hasn't eaten yet, so He will leave first." Goodbye, Madame, Miss Magnolia!"

Mrs. Ouyang stood up, took two steps, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "When will Mr. He arrive in Hong Kong?"

He Majesty hesitated for a moment and replied, "Oh, when everything here is done, I will leave as soon as possible." There are still some mundane affairs in Beijing, and it is estimated that it will be ...... Half a month later. ”

"Oh, if you can rush to Hong Kong before the Dragon Boat Festival, I invite you to participate in the activities organized by the Chinese Literature Society of the Cross-Strait and Three Places. ”

"Madame is too polite, since Madame invited, He Mou will definitely go. I'm gone, goodbye ma'am. ”

Magnolia sent He Majesty away and came back to eat something with Mrs. Ouyang. Mrs. Ouyang ate very little, and she looked very unappetizing. There will always be some things in a person's life, every time they mention it, they will be excited, and they have experienced a lot of unforgettable hardships and joys, especially people like Mrs. Ouyang, who have had ups and downs in their lives, and have repeatedly experienced countless lives and deaths, no matter how strong they are, their mood cannot be calm. Magnolia didn't bother her with words, just stayed with her so quietly that she didn't leave until she finished eating and put away the dishes.

Early the next morning, Uncle Bai sent Magnolia and Mrs. Ouyang on the train, and he kept saying words of thanks to Mrs. Ouyang, asking Mrs. Ouyang to take care of Magnolia, which made Magnolia's eyes red. Then he kept saying to Magnolia, rest assured, rest assured. Magnolia understood and nodded.

The car drove away, and Magnolia kept staring outside, watching the scenery of her hometown retreat little by little outside the car window, little by little. This time she left her heart is the most certain, and it is also the one when she is most nostalgic for her hometown, because the direction is determined, there is no way out, unlike the last two times she went out to come back, including the first time she went to Shanghai, but also to get rid of the environment at the time, and come back after everything calms down. But this time it was different, she wanted to fly, fly far and high, and she would return to her hometown in the future, so she was even more nostalgic for the grass and trees, mountains and rivers here, and watched them sway by hurriedly out of the window greedily.

Madame Ouyang was lying on the bunk, much more silent than when she came. It wasn't until the next day that she arrived in Tianjin, and her mood gradually improved, and she asked Magnolia curiously: "Are there so few people taking the train now? Why are there no people in those two bunks?"

Magnolia hesitated, but still told the truth: "I bought four train tickets and wrapped this box." ”

When Mrs. Ouyang heard this, she couldn't help but look stunned, then sighed and said, "It seems that when I set off from Shanghai, I also took it. I wondered why there were only three of us in the box. This time, it's just two people, and two bunks are wasted. Lan girl, it's too wasteful to do this, I'm not sorry for the money to buy tickets, I mean, this kind of public resource should belong to everyone, if you buy more tickets and waste it, there will be people who can't make the trip because they can't buy tickets, which is not right. ”

Magnolia remembered that because she couldn't buy a sleeper at that time, she only bought a hard seat halfway, and she was so tired that her whole body seemed to fall apart, and her legs were swollen, and she felt that Madame's words were indeed reasonable, so she nodded again and again.

Mrs. Ouyang saw that Magnolia was full of shame, and she couldn't bear it: "Girl Lan, you are a kind child, unintentional mistakes are inevitable, as long as you maintain your kind nature." It's okay, just pay attention next time. ”

Magnolia hurriedly said yes.

Even if Magnolia didn't say it, Mrs. Ouyang knew in her heart that a child from a small family like Magnolia would not have such a big waste of money to charter a private room, it must have been Ah Shu who asked her to do it. Magnolia didn't say a word, and she didn't defend herself when she was blamed, was this her original character, or was she deliberately defending Ah Shu? And Ah Tong, I don't know what happened in Africa, will there be any danger? Thinking of her two children upset her. Ah Tong is in the entertainment industry, and his relationship has not settled so far, but fortunately, the entertainment industry is like that, Ah Tong is well-behaved and sensible, she is not worried about stabbing Lou Zi; Ah Shu is different, anyone can see that his marriage is unhappy, two such good children, why can't they be kneaded together? When Ah Tong came to ask her, she also said confidently that as long as a man is broad-minded and noble, he will definitely love each other, she and Ouyang Junsheng are like this, she is a little moved by him, a little bit of love, and has gone through most of her life through ups and downs, so she hopes that Ah Shu and his family can be like them, slowly run in, find the feeling of interlocking gears, and complete their fate in this life, but now it seems that her wish is going to be disappointed, and the two children are now more respectful than in the past.

Mrs. Ouyang looked at Magnolia, who was sitting quietly reading a book on the computer, and sighed silently. If, if she only had one son, she would really like to have such a daughter-in-law. Ay!

The car finally arrived in Shanghai, and it was Wang Wenbin who came to pick up the station, and there was a white man with blonde hair and brown eyes, with short hair, soft on his scalp, and big eyes full of smiles.

Seeing that Ouyang Shu didn't come to pick up the station, Mrs. Ouyang remained silent, but just looked at the foreigner in surprise. Wang Wenbin hurriedly introduced: "Auntie, this is Thomson, Ashu's partner. Didn't you say you had met your aunt before, why didn't your aunt seem to know you?"

When Thomson heard this, he hurriedly rushed over, put his furry hand on his chest, and said to Mrs. Ouyang: "Nanjing, saltwater duck, you let me eat duck skin." We've seen it. ”

Mrs. Ouyang looked at the tall man in front of her and asked, "You said you were the skinny monkey, are you really you?"

"Yes, monkey, that show (skinny) monkey. Thomson put his palm on his forehead and gestured to a monkey's motion, and his anticsy made everyone laugh. Mrs. Ouyang couldn't imagine that ten years would change so much, when Ah Shu took him home, he was just 17 years old, thin like a monkey, she let him eat duck skin, saying that he grew fat, he refused to eat it at first, and then no one could stop it. It seems that the effect of duck skin is still good.

"Hey, Thomson, this is Miss Magnolia, I told you. ”

Thomson saw Bai Magnolia standing behind Mrs. Ouyang Tingting, and said with difficulty: "Oh, hello, Miss Yulan, it's nice to meet you. Ouyang went to Beijing, I used a watch...... Use...... Use myself to represent and pick you up on his behalf. ”

Magnolia nodded in thanks, and at the same time declined his offer to help pull the boxes, and followed them with her luggage, walking towards the parking lot.

Wang Wenbin helped Magnolia put the luggage into the trunk casually, Thomson looked at it, hesitated for a moment, or came over to rearrange them more neatly and reasonably. Wang Wenbin shook his head and said in English, "What's the use of this? I will take it out in a while, and who will show it if it is neatly arranged?"

Thomson shrugged apologetically and said in English, "I'm sorry, there's no way, I'm going to feel uncomfortable when I see it placed diagonally." It's what people call obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I have it. ”

Wang Wenbin no longer paid attention to Thomson, he opened the car door for Mrs. Ouyang, and said, "That's the case, aunt, Ouyang has gone to Beijing, on business." Enhe returned to Inner Mongolia. So I'm here to pick you up. ”

Mrs. Ouyang said as she got into the car: "Oh, thank you, Wen Bin, I caused you to run over to pick up the station early in the morning." Thank you too, Thomson. ”

Wang Wenbin sat in the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt: "Auntie, you are too polite." The main thing is that you arrive at the station at a good time, and it is just right to go to work after picking up the station, and you will not delay anything. ”

Mrs. Ouyang smiled: "Just you can speak." Huh..."

"That's, at least better than Thomson, he doesn't speak Chinese very well, haha..."

Thomson sat in the passenger seat, and as soon as he heard him mentioned, he immediately took it: "I will! Ouyang taught me: eat grapes without spitting out grape skins, and don't eat grapes but spit out grape skins." I'm very good at it. ”

Wang Wenbin patted him on the shoulder: "I'm sorry, I wronged you." You can even make tongue twisters, let alone Chinese?"

Thomson received: "I'm not wronged at all, let alone Chinese!"

Thomson's words made everyone laugh, and he himself laughed, nodded, raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "It's true, they all speak my Chinese, okay." ”

Wang Wenbin shook his head and started the car.

Mrs. Ouyang asked, "Thomson, why did you come to Shanghai? I haven't seen you for ten years." ”

Thomson blinked, reacted, and said: "Someone is always ......" At this time, he saw Wang Wenbin making a look at him, and quietly shook his head, so Thomson's words turned: "Someone is always ...... No, it was Ouyang who called me, and the company had something. ”

Wang Wenbin quietly gave a thumbs up to his hand on the steering wheel. Thomson saw it and was proud.
