Chapter 124: Red Leaves in the Distant Mountains
Aunt Chen quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes under the pretext of serving them rice, turned around, and put on a smiling face again: "This has to be said, you have to come to relieve our boredom if you are fine!"
Qin Yafu's mouth was bulging when she ate, and said excitedly: "I wish I had such delicious things every day, he said that he had your true inheritance, I guess it is not even a tenth, I still like the food cooked by Aunt Chen!"
Hearing that Qin Yafu removed the word "A" from Aunt Chen, she immediately felt a lot more kind, and Aunt Chen smiled even more.
Grandma Xu also looked at this child with a smile, she liked this kind of true temperament from the bottom of her heart, not delicate and pretentious, generous and calm.
From the time she started to enter the door, she hadn't seen any deliberate pretending to be high.
Unlike that Xue Jingjing, she would call her grandmother sweetly every time she came, but she looked at her with disgust everywhere, just said a few words in response to the situation, and found all kinds of excuses to leave busily.
After eating, we chatted for a long time, looked at the time, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and Grandma Xu had the heart to let the two of them live here and go back tomorrow.
But Qin Yafu refused, her mother's recent instructions to her were: no matter how late she is, she has to go home, and she can't mix with Lin Zihang again before getting married.
Qin's mother just wanted her daughter to marry innocently, and Qin Yafu also understood her feelings, so she naturally didn't want to disobey, so she still insisted on leaving.
Bidding farewell to the two old men, Lin Zihang took Qin Yafu's hand and walked out of this community, and she had time to ask about his relationship with Grandma Xu.
It turned out that Mayor Lin Hai and Director Sang of the Education Commission were both students of Grandma Xu back then, and their relationship has always been good, Lin Zihang's grandparents died early, and Lin Hai treated Grandma Xu as his own mother.
Lin Zihang had a vacation when he was a child, and he liked to play at her house the most, so the intimacy between them was no less than that of flesh and blood.
As for that Grandpa Xu, in fact, he is the old director of the Provincial Education Commission who has been supporting Director Sang, and the relationship between him and Grandma Xu was actually very good, but later it was said that their only son seemed to have died of a misfortune because of him.
Since then, these two people have completely fallen out, don't look at their age, they actually separated, it seems that the old lady originally wanted to divorce, but, under everyone's persuasion, they didn't go through the formalities, but they really haven't been together again.
Originally, their home was in the provincial capital, because the old lady insisted on separating, just in time to build a villa for the veterans of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Grandpa Xu was a clerk during the war, otherwise, he couldn't get mixed into the important position of the Provincial Education Commission, naturally he was also assigned a house, and the old lady moved back to her hometown to live.
Qin Yafu sighed, no wonder Lin Zihang didn't let her take off the bracelet just now, she couldn't imagine that the old lady was so stubborn, she was in a hurry, and even her wife was abandoned, which is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Lin Zihang kept walking hand in hand with her, turning his head to stare at it, under the somewhat dim street lamp, Qin Yafu's pure and soft big eyes showed a look of regret and lamentation, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.
He suddenly stopped, put his hands on her shoulders, and said with a serious face: "Yafu, in the future, no matter what happens to us, you can't be as cruel to me as Grandma Xu!"
Qin Yafu smiled: "What do you want? I'm a person, as long as you can make me pass, I'll be fine, but-"
She changed her words: "Don't do anything to be sorry for me, otherwise, I really like Grandma Xu's way." ”
She deliberately stiffened her face with a stern expression.
Lin Zihang stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms, wrapped his body hard, buried his head in her neck socket, and said domineeringly: "No, not at any time! You promise me, no matter what happens, don't leave me!"
Qin Yafu sighed: "You, why don't you always have confidence in me? I'm not a person who lives in the middle of nowhere." ”
Lin Zihang couldn't help but kiss her gently on the neck: "Yafu, you are as clear and crystal clear as that jade bracelet, but the world is so complicated, I'm afraid that you will change your original intention." ”
His heart was secretly sad, jade was the purest thing, but it couldn't withstand bumps, no matter how beautiful it was, it was also fragile, he was really afraid that his Yafu would be hurt more in the future, and he wanted to take her with him anytime and anywhere.
Qin Yafu was also very moved, embarrassed to face his eyes directly, closed her eyes tightly, fumbled to find his mouth, kissed him shallowly, and quickly ran away.
This move had already made Lin Zihang very happy, at least, his Yafu was getting closer and closer to him.
Lin Zihang sent Qin Yafu back home, it was almost ten o'clock, Qin's mother inevitably complained about her daughter's late return, Qin Yafu showed her mother the bracelet that Grandma Xu gave her, and briefly said what happened.
Qin's mother also felt that this gift was too valuable, but in her heart she was still happy that her daughter could be respected by others, at least, this showed that the old man liked Qin Yafu and would give it up.
Qin Yafu really wanted to talk about the old lady who seemed to know the little aunt, but after thinking about it, after so many years, it was true that most of the reason was to protect herself and not be mentioned by her family.
But think about it from another angle, she is the most beloved little sister among her father's four younger sisters, and his heart must be very uncomfortable after so many years of uncertain life and death, so the little aunt has become a taboo in the family unconsciously, and it is okay not to mention it.
Qin Yayan was also very happy for her sister when she saw her sister's bracelet.
Qin Yayan is good at this, she sees that her sister is better off than herself, there will be no jealousy and hatred, even envy will be very little, she can only be happy for her sister from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Yafu once thought that her sisters were so good all over the world when she was a child, but later she learned that it turned out that even her biological parents could hurt their children for some kind of benefit, not to mention her brothers and sisters, so she was also very grateful to her sister.
The next day, Qin Yafu got up early, packed her things, and went to the Education Committee to meet her colleagues.
Although the place to travel is not far away, after all, after all, there is no need to go to work, and everyone is still very happy to be able to go out and relax.
Especially Yuan Yuan, her active nature is more clearly reflected when she returns to nature.
Because her family lives in the suburbs, it is still a little far away from the land of mountains and rivers, she usually lives in her aunt's house, and she is also very simple, and she has no opportunity to travel, so although she said that Lao Shi is for the benefit of her relatives, she is actually quite happy in her heart.
She sat in the car, chatting with Qin Yafu all the way, and she never stopped.
Originally, Aunt Wang, who was in the same department as her, used to think that she talked too much, but since she saw the noise of the Ning sisters, Aunt Wang never said anything about Yuan Yuan.
It seems that everything has to be compared in order to see which one is more satisfying! Qin Yafu secretly sighed in her heart.
Han Lin, who was sitting in the front row by the window, kept her eyes staring out of the window, with headphones in her ears, and no one cared about anyone.
And Chen Xi, who was sitting next to her, turned around from time to time and interjected a few words with Qin Yafu, looking very honest and kind.
Qin Yafu felt this change in Chen Xi more and more clearly: she went from following behind Han Lin only at the beginning, and she would do whatever Han Lin said, to starting to get out of her control little by little, and then quietly blending into the circle of other colleagues.
Now, she has reached the point where she still maintains humility towards Han Lin on the surface, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that she no longer takes Han Lin's words seriously.
Chen Xi who looked like this felt more gregarious, but it also made Qin Yafu feel a little dark: if she was an enemy, it seemed that she was not as easy to deal with as Han Lin's annoyance with her clear and straightforward nature, right?
Qin Yafu laughed with her while secretly thinking carefully, in fact, she also secretly scolded herself in her heart for being a small-bellied chicken intestine, but it was indeed fun to observe the hypocritical faces of these people.
The car drove for three and a half hours before it reached its destination.
Seeing the fiery maple forest, Yuan Yuan was even more excited, jumping up and down with excitement, seeing every tree, she felt novel and beautiful, and she had to urge Secretary Li to take pictures of her.
Secretary Li pouted, obviously unwilling.
Aunt Wang quietly put her mouth into Qin Yafu's ear and whispered: "Have you noticed that Secretary Xiao Li is not good at this, he is too stingy, your phone is very diligent, he complained that he is not a professional operator, and he still has his own work to do;
Xiao Yuan asked him to take a few photos, a public thing, even if he moved his fingers, he was obviously unhappy. You say, how can such a person climb up?"
Qin Yafu was noncommittal, she knew this Aunt Wang too well, that was a two-faced master.
Originally, I had been mixed in a public institution for most of my life, and I was very cunning, and I couldn't find fault with my work at all, but because of this troubled mouth, I delayed things, so now I am a small section member, and I can't get the opportunity to be promoted.
The most regrettable thing is that she doesn't have a long memory, and she stirs up trouble everywhere.
Therefore, Qin Yafu pretended to slip on her feet, shook her body, avoided her topic, took her hand and said, "Oh, Aunt Wang, thanks to you, otherwise, I would have to fall, it seems that we have to be careful of the fallen leaves all over the ground when we walk!"
Aunt Wang was interrupted by Qin Yafu, and finally changed the topic.
Qin Yafu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, that Secretary Li's temper was indeed not very good, and it was far worse than the sleek nature of the permanent secretary, but now that he was doing well in the secretary's room, she didn't need to provoke him because of a few meaningless words.
Just when Qin Yafu had a match on her mouth, chatting with Aunt Wang without a match, and looking around with her big eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, she was slightly stunned, and Yuan Yuan jumped in front of her with a "hey!" sound, startling her.
