A family of three plus Qin Hai, four people sat under the gazebo in the courtyard, a table full of dishes, Yao Zhiyuan also took out a bottle of liquor, according to him, it was fifty years old, and when he was usually alone, he was reluctant to drink it at all.

Qin Hai took a glass of wine poured by Yao Zhiyuan, drank it all, and said silently in his heart: "Xingchen, your parents are in good health, you can rest assured"

Satiated.

Qin Hai has already decided to leave.

It's been more than ten years, and Xingchen's family finally came out, and Qin Hai felt that he didn't need to make the two old men sad again.

Back then, when the news of Yao Xingchen's death came home, Yao Chen's age was still young after all, and now after so many years, she was still so sad when she heard what Qin Hai said, if Xingchen's parents knew the news that Xingchen had just passed away at this time, I am afraid they would cry and faint on the spot.

"Uncle and Aunt"

Qin Hai stood up and said, "I came in a hurry this time, so I won't stay here longer, and I'll come to see you when I have time later." ”

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Meng Mei was the first to get up and said, "There are many rooms at home, so it doesn't matter if you stay here for two more days." ”

Qin Haiwan refused: "No, Auntie, wait for next time." ”

As he spoke, Qin Hai was about to leave.

Yao Chen opened his mouth several times to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Meng Mei suddenly seemed to remember something, and said: "Ao, by the way, I saw that there was a package on the long table in the hall, it should be yours, I don't know what it is, so I didn't move." ”

Hearing this, Qin Hai glanced at Yao Chen, and was about to find an excuse to go over, when he saw Yao Chen hurriedly said: "Brother Hai, you see that you almost forgot such an important thing, you wait for me for a while, and I will bring it to you." ”

Without waiting for Qin Hai to speak, Yao Chen ran towards the hall.

After a while, Yao Chen ran out with the package, he grabbed Qin Hai's arm and walked out of the courtyard, and said to his parents as he walked: "Dad, Mom, I'll send Brother Hai and come back later." ”

In this way, Qin Hai was pulled into a taxi by Yao Chen all the way.

After getting into the taxi, Yao Chen said directly to the driver: "Go to the Wuhe River at the south exit of the railway station." ”

The reason why Wuhe Town is called Wuhe Town is because there is a river called Wuhe River in the town, and the Wuhe River crosses through the middle of the town, dividing the entire Wuhe Town into two halves, half southeast and half northwest, and the railway station of Wuhe Town is on the north bank of the Wuhe River.

After the taxi arrived at the bank of the Wu River, Yao Chen hugged the package and got out of the car silently, she walked to a tree on the bank and sat directly on the ground.

As soon as Qin Hai approached, he heard Yao Chen say: "Can you tell me about my sister?" I was young when she left, and I only knew how to cry at that time, but now that I think about it, I can't even remember what she looked like."

Qin Hai sat down beside Yao Chen and said in a flat tone: "You look very similar to her, when I first met her, she was not a few years older than you now, but she was much more mature than you."

Speaking of this, Qin Hai seemed to think of something, and unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Hmph!" Yao Chen pouted, unconvinced, "Are you saying I'm naïve?"

Qin Hai shook his head, and replied with a serious expression: "It's not that you are naïve, but that she is mature beyond her age, she is calm, wise, confident, and resolute, it seems that nothing in this world can be difficult for her, no matter how big the matter is, she is always unhurried and can solve it easily."

As he spoke, Qin Hai seemed to fall into his memories again.

"So my sister is so good!" Yao Chen raised his head proudly.

"Hmm. Qin Hai nodded firmly, "She is the most outstanding woman I have ever seen, even in that kind of place, few people dare to provoke her." ”

"What kind of place are you talking about?" asked Yao Chen curiously.

Qin Hai shook his head and said, "You don't have to know this so clearly. ”

"Huh!

Yao Chen said dissatisfied, "If you don't say it, don't say it, who rarely knows." ”

Qin Hai glanced at her and said with a smile: "Your sister is rarely coquettish like you, I have been with her for ten years, and I have never seen her talk like you a few times." ”

"Who's spoiled?!"

Yao Chen suddenly felt that her face was a little hot, and after she reached out and patted her cheek, she quibbled, "I won't be coquettish to you." ”

When Qin Hai heard this, he didn't plan to continue to say more on this topic, so he changed the topic and said, "Do you know what I admire most about your sister?"

"Where?" Yao Chen suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked.

"She's strong but practical, and she's never blindly set high standards for herself. She once told me that when doing things, you can set a higher goal, but you must be on tiptoe to touch it, otherwise it is better not to have a goal. Qin Hai replied.

"Are you educating me in disguise?" Yao Chen pouted.

"That's not what I said, even if I can educate you, your sister is educating you. Qin Hai said with a smile.

"Do you like my sister?" Yao Chen stared at Qin Hai and asked a little abruptly.

Qin Hai was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you ask that?"

"Because I've found that you laugh every time you mention my sister. Yao Chen said eloquently.

Qin Hai raised his head, looked at the clouds in the sky, and thought, do you like it? Maybe it's more admiration, after all, she is the only one who accompanies him and watches him grow from a boy to a man

"Why don't you speak?"

Yao Chen saw that Qin Hai was silent for a long time, so he asked, "Did I guess it?"

Qin Hai looked at Yao Chen, shook his head and said, "I'm just thinking about how I should answer your question. ”

"Like is like, dislike is not like, do you need to think about this kind of question for a long time?" Yao Chen asked a little puzzled.

Qin Hai nodded and said, "Of course, because in the ten years I have been with her, I have regarded her as both a sister and a teacher, and in the end, I regard her as my only confidante, these feelings are very pure, and there are not so many twists and turns." ”

After hearing this, Yao Chen rolled his eyes and put on an expression of "I believe in you".

Qin Hai shrugged his shoulders, then got up from the ground, patted the dust on his buttocks, and said, "It's been a while since I came out, you go back, otherwise your uncle and aunt will be worried." ”

After all, if Yao Chen had just experienced the things that happened to the Yu family, if Yao Chen stayed outside for too long, I am afraid that Yao Zhiyuan and his wife would really be worried.

Hearing this, Yao Chen put the package that had never left her arms on the ground, then untied the package and picked up the jar inside.

She lifted the lid of the jar and looked at the Wuhe River in front of her: "In my childhood memories, my sister seemed to like this river very much, and she always liked to take me to the river for an afternoon."

Saying this, Yao Chen had already put his hand into the jar, and when he pulled it out again, as soon as his hand was raised, a handful of ash layers were swept into the water of the Wuhe River with the wind.

"Sister, don't worry, I will take care of myself and take care of my parents"

"Sister, rest in peace"

After lifting the ashes in the jar into the Wuhe River, Yao Chen grabbed the urn with one hand, grabbed the lid of the jar with the other, threw his two arms one after another, and buried the urn in his hometown with the lid in the Wuhe River.

After doing this, Yao Chen sniffled, then looked at Qin Hai with a smile and said, "Sister can sleep well." ”

Qin Hai walked over, stretched out his hand, gently wiped the tears on her face, and said, "Your sister would be very relieved if she knew that you were so strong." ”

Yao Chen felt that her face suddenly began to heat again, she pursed her lips and nodded heavily.

"Alright, you go back quickly, I should go to the train station too. Qin Hai said again.

"Where are you going?" Yao Chen asked after hesitating for a moment.

Qin Hai's eyes began to float with a look of anticipation, and he replied: "Go home, I haven't been home for more than ten years. ”

Yao Chen didn't continue to ask where Qin Hai's home was, but asked, "Will we meet again?"

"Yes. Qin Hai replied without hesitation.

When Yao Chen heard this, a smile instantly appeared on his face, and he said happily: "Then next time you see you, you must tell me more about you and your sister." ”

After speaking, she seemed to remember something, and hurriedly added: "Ao, by the way, I will start school in September, and I will go to Beihua University to study, do you know Beihua University? That is the best university in our Huaxia! I am the only candidate in our town who has been admitted to Beihua University this year!"

Yao Chen's face was filled with pride.

Qin Hai said with a smile: "Congratulations, your sister is so good, you will naturally not be bad." ”

Qin Hai originally wanted Yao Chen to leave first, and then he went to the train station, but this little girl was very stubborn and refused to leave until Qin Hai was sent to the train station.

The train station in the town is not as crowded as in the big city, and there is basically no need to queue, so Qin Hai bought a train ticket directly to his hometown.

Qin Hai's hometown is in Yuyang City, Henan Province, although it is only a fourth-tier city, but the transportation in Yuyang is very convenient, and the railway line is no worse than the average second-tier city.

Compared with when he came here from Beihua City, Qin Hai's luck was very good this time, the train he bought was about to start checking in half an hour to enter the station, saving the time of waiting.

Qin Hai was about to enter the station, Yao Chen didn't know where he got the courage, stepped forward and hugged him, and his whole body was attached to Qin Hai's body.

She lowered her head, didn't look at Qin Hai's eyes, and said in a low voice, "Brother Hai, you must remember to go see me." ”

Qin Hai stretched out his arm and patted her on the back, and said, "Don't worry, I promised Xingchen to take care of you, and I will go to see you when I have time." ”

After another moment, Yao Chen reluctantly let go of the arm holding Qin Hai.

Although she had only known Qin Hai for half a day, too many things had happened in this half a day, more than her experience in the past ten years, she really wanted to understand Qin Hai more deeply, but she knew that this was definitely not something that could be done in a day or two.

Now, she has not separated from Qin Hai, and she has already begun to look forward to the next meeting between the two.

Yao Chen watched Qin Hai leave, and it wasn't until his figure disappeared that she stood in place for a while, then turned around and stopped a taxi going home.
