Chapter 39: The City

"Mom. Qiao's whispered words interrupted Su Fanghua's contemplation, "You say...... Will my grandmother like me?" she was looking forward to meeting her loved ones along the way, but when it came to the end, she suddenly became a little scared.

Su Fanghua looked at her daughter with a worried expression and smiled comfortingly: "Don't worry, she will definitely like you." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well. Qiao nodded willingly, but there was still some drumming up and down in his heart.

At this moment, the most calm is Shen Ziyu, he quietly followed behind Su Fanghua, and did not make any similar moves, but looked left and right from time to time, as if he was really "pure tourism".

Even though she hasn't been back for many years, Su Fanghua still has a deep memory of the way home. It's no wonder, after all, she's lived here for so many years. Or conversely, the town carried the vast majority of her youth.

It wasn't long before she was standing outside the gate again.

After taking a deep breath, Su Fanghua slowly climbed the steps.

In the courtyard inside the gate, Grandma was still helping Ruan Wan comb her hair.

The sun in the sky was dazzling, but the green trees in the courtyard were lush and green, casting a large shadow of the trees. At some point, a hot wind blew the leaves of the trees and the mottled shadows on the ground. The leaves make a rustling sound, and the slightly moving shadows of the trees seem to gently soothe the shadows of the owners of the yard mixed in the middle of them.

The three people outside the door only saw-

The girl's green silk is like a waterfall, and her hair dances slightly with the wind.

The old man's silver hair was coiled in a bun at the back of his head, fixed with a jasper hairpin. She held a wooden comb in one hand, and with the other hand gently grabbed the hair of the girl in front of her, combing it gently.

In ancient marriage ceremonies, there is always a combing of the hair, and there will also be corresponding words, such as "one comb to the end, the second to comb the white hair to the eyebrows ......", which is to give the beautiful instructions to the brides who are about to become women.

And the old man in front of him seemed to be doing this--not preparing for the marriage of the girl in front of him, but every action was full of some kind of prayer.

Hope she's healthy.

Hope she's happy.

Wish her a long life.

I hope she is happy.

……

Su Fanghua's eyes turned red inexplicably, she remembered that she had also sat in Xiaowan's position, and her mother ...... I also helped her comb her hair like now. She remembers that on the day of her wedding, she sat by the mirror, and her mother also helped her comb her hair like now, combing her while crying, and told her to live a good life. All the thoughts in her heart flew away at this moment, her lips trembled, and she choked up and shouted: "Mom......"

And this feeling of hers is obviously not something that the other two can have. In other words, for Shen Ziyu and Qiao Xinyuan, the scene in front of them is more like a painting than reality - the old man and the girl are wearing the same style of clothes, the top is slanted, it looks like a cheongsam, and the skirt is matched underneath. The girl's dress is pale pink, and the neckline, sleeves, and hem of the lower skirt are embroidered with small fluffy yellow flowers, while the old man's dress is gray and blue, which looks simple and elegant. This style of clothing can only be found on TV, pictures or old photographs, but for some reason, they wear it without a sense of disobedience.

Especially when they turned their heads at the same time and showed similar expressions, time seemed to freeze, and this moment seemed to become an eternity.

Both sides were stunned.

The reason why my grandmother was stunned was that she didn't expect her daughter who hadn't returned for many years to suddenly appear.

The reason why Ruan Wan was stunned was that on the one hand, she didn't expect her mother to come back, and on the other hand, she ...... It's also because of the two people she brought back.

Joe's wish.

and Shen Ziyu.

Joe's wish, her eternal "enemy" in her last life. No matter how many times she tossed and did many bad things, her ultimate goal was just to "fight" with Joe's wishes, whether it was her mother's love or something else.

It is undeniable that compared to her hostility, Joe Xinwan has a very high affection for her "sister" from the beginning. And when they finally met, there was no hatred in Qiao's eyes when she looked at her, only a deep incomprehension and sadness.

They're sisters, so why hurt each other to that extent?

yes, why?

As for Shen Ziyu......

Because he has a good relationship with the Qiao family's brothers and sisters, Ruan Wan often sees him. However, there wasn't much communication between them. The reason is simple, the teenager's rebellious period came too early, and in terms of personality, she did not like such sharp people, although she herself was not much better.

It's just that if it can be sorted, Shen Ziyu can be ranked in the top three of her "people who don't want to see the least".

The reason is very simple, after all her intrigues and tricks in her previous life were exposed, he once said a word to her, he said-

"Ruan Wan, how can you be so cheap. ”

She froze in place, sweating all over, and the wind was blowing through the cracks of her bones.

If she was originally in the ice and snow, then his words undoubtedly tore off the last layer of her fig leaf, and let her die naked in the cold wind.

If he hadn't given her a mouthful of warm water and a warm embrace, she would have died a long time ago.

In fact, Shen Ziyu may not be wrong, he is a friend of the Qiao family's brothers and sisters, he looked at it coldly, he just made the judgment he should have made. It's just that for her, it's a disservice.

The pain from her scalp woke Ruan Wan from her thoughts, and she realized that her grandmother, who didn't say a word, was not at all calm in her heart, otherwise how could she accidentally pull her hair.

Ruan Wan wanted to turn her head, but her grandmother stopped her movement with her hand.

The grandmother turned her head and no longer looked at the daughter who had been reunited after a long absence, but continued to comb her little granddaughter's hair, once, twice, three times...... I don't know how many times it took her to say in a deep voice, "What are you doing when you come back?"

Su Fanghua couldn't cry for a long time, she knelt on the bluestone slab with a "poof", crying and shouting: "Mom!"

Grandma's hands trembled violently, and she could barely grasp the comb in her hand. After taking a deep breath, she loosened her granddaughter's hair, turned her head sideways and said, "What are you doing here?" She looked at her crying daughter, at least at this moment, the rest of the feelings in her heart vanished, leaving only helplessness and distress - how could mother and daughter have an overnight feud. What's more, her daughter has also been pampered by her since she was a child. At that time, he died, and she almost went with him, and if it weren't for the fact that she still had a child in her womb who was connected to him, she wouldn't be standing here now.

Fanghua was not in good health when she was young, and she did everything possible to make up for her. Those years were not easy, she was a young woman with a newborn baby, and many times she felt that she couldn't live anymore. I don't know how many days, she put a pair of scissors under her pillow before going to bed, thinking that if there was really a case, she would kill Fanghua and herself, and the two of them would not have to be humiliated when they lived, and they would meet again underground after death.

Fortunately, no matter how hard it is, I have survived it, and my life is getting better day by day.

Fanghua, but she was spoiled by her to be extraordinarily innocent.

Speaking of which, the three generations of their grandparents are also true.

She was like this when she was young, Fanghua was like this, and Xiaowan was like this in the past.

She was very worried back then, because no one's innocence can last a lifetime, just like herself, it was life that taught her what suffering is. She accidentally raised Fang Hua like that, what if she suffered the same crime as her in the future? Ruan Hai, this kid, is not too outstanding compared to Fanghua's other suitors. But there is one thing, he really loves Fanghua. She felt that if she handed over Fanghua to him, maybe her daughter would be so naΓ―ve for the rest of her life - when she put Fanghua on her red hijab, she was indeed right.

But I never thought that creation would make people......

By mistake, Fanghua still walked on her old path.

No wonder Fanghua resents her.

Thinking about it carefully, Fanghua's choice after that is not bad - looking at the fact that she can still maintain her past temperament, you can know that her current husband is very good to her.

Grandma looked at Su Fanghua, her eyes were complicated for a while. It's not that she doesn't want her daughter to be good, it's just that, as a mother who has not abandoned her children no matter what difficult situation she is in, her grandmother can't understand her daughter's behavior of handing over her granddaughter to herself. Similarly, Su Fanghua, as a daughter, as a daughter who stands at the crossroads of life and destiny and wants to seek her mother's support no matter what, cannot understand the cold words given to her by her grandmother.

As a result, the relationship between the mother and daughter naturally had a crisis, and it has not been resolved. And this contradiction reached its peak when they had an argument on the phone before. So after that, Su Fanghua almost never said a word to her grandmother again.

But now, once they really say goodbye, these "grievances" seem to immediately become worthless, and now, they are just the most ordinary mothers and daughters in the world, nothing more.

Ruan Wan looked at her grandmother and mother looking at each other, there were a thousand words in her eyes, but she couldn't say a word when her lips trembled. I know that their feelings are complicated and surging to a certain extent. She lowered her eyes, a little envious and a little worried. What she envies is that she has never experienced such a deep mother-daughter relationship, and she is worried that the weather is too dry and too hot, and if it continues like this, her grandmother's body may not be able to stand it, and it will definitely be uncomfortable for her mother to kneel all the time.

She then took the initiative to stand up and break the deadlock.

"Mom. Ruan Wan exclaimed softly, "Why are you back?"

Her shout really brought her grandmother and Su Fanghua back to her senses at the same time. Grandma turned her head away, wiped the tears that flowed inadvertently from the corners of her eyes, and said, "It's so adult, it's a shame to cry in front of the child, get up quickly." Xiaowan, go and help your mother up. ”

Ruan Wan answered, walked up to her mother, and bent down to help her up. Between the tentacles, she was in a slight trance, this was indeed her mother's body temperature and taste, and she couldn't remember how many years she hadn't felt it. But soon, she came to her senses.

Qiao, who had been in a daze because of the "β–‘β–‘" just now, hurriedly walked to the other side, and at the same time picked up Su Fanghua.

Su Fanghua looked at Ruan Wan with tears in her eyes and shouted in a low voice: "Xiao Wan." "I haven't seen you for a long time, this kid is already a big child. In the end, she has too many derelictions of duty as a mother, so this time she must make up for it.
