"Mom, don't be greedy for cold, be careful of colds. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lu Li's voice came from behind him, and then fell beside him, Song Lingyi turned his head and saw his son sitting down next to him, he also took off his hiking shoes and socks, and put his feet in the stream, the cold stream slid over his feet, and his body couldn't help but shiver, and then the laughter also overflowed.

"Haha, isn't it cool?" Song Lingyi laughed heartily, "Sure enough, I still have to go to the forest to escape the heat in summer." ”

"The effect of the all-natural air conditioner is much better than that of the artificial one. Lu Li's body and mind couldn't help but relax, even if he didn't do anything, just sitting here quietly, listening to the sounds of nature, it was enough.

Song Lingyi looked back, Lu Huaijin was still squatting in place, and the bonfire next to him had already been set up. Lu Li went out two more times just now, picked up enough dry firewood, then lit the bonfire, set up the iron pot, and boiled boiling water, while Lu Huaijin waited by the side, reading the instructions intently.

"Your dad is probably stuck again. Song Lingyi teased with a smile, then retracted her gaze and looked at the gurgling stream in front of her, "You say, this is not like the stream outside the suburbs before?"

"Which suburb?" Lu Li looked down at his feet, due to the refraction of the sun, his feet became blurred under the stream, and he couldn't help but step on his feet, and the soles of his feet could feel the round pebbles bumping, as if they were natural massagers, and his feet couldn't help but start to rise up deep and shallow, and laughter collided and resonated in his chest, "Mom, do you want to come down?" ”

In fact, the stream is only at the height of the calf, and you can step on it lightly.

"You be careful not to get your pants wet. Song Lingyi babbled and advised, before the words were finished, Lu Li's right trouser tube fell down, completely soaked, Song Lingyi glared at Lu Li with disgust, but looking at the bright smile on his son's face, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "You, you, like a child who doesn't grow up." Although it is a reproach, the words are full of spoiling, no matter how old Lu Li is, in her eyes, he is always a child.

"Which suburb did you just say?" Lu Li returned to the previous topic again, his feet began to swim upstreams in the stream, feeling the movement of pebbles and aquatic plants on the soles of his feet, as if he had really returned to his childhood and found his childlike innocence.

"It's the road to Turtle Mountain, didn't your classmates often go on outings?" Song Lingyi looked at her son intently and said with a smile.

"Oh, I remember. "Turtle Mountain, it seems that there will be a turtle mountain in every place, as long as the shape looks like a turtle, people will name it Turtle Mountain," you say, it is indeed a bit similar, but the pattern there is much smaller, that turtle mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, is only half an hour, and the woods next to it are not big. ”

"Well, your grandmother used to like to go there. Song Lingyi's eyes showed some nostalgia, "When I was young, there was no TV at home, so your grandmother took us all the way to go there for an outing. ”

"Walking?" Lu Li showed a surprised expression, "It's fifteen minutes to ride a bicycle there." ”

"It used to be a place where it would care about that, and it was so much fun to be able to go out. Song Lingyi paused slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of sadness, "If your grandmother comes here, she will definitely like it very much." He raised his head and looked at the large expanse of green around him, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.

"If Grandma comes over, are you going to let her hike?" Lu Li's disgusted tone made Song Lingyi stunned, and then laughed, "Look at my memory, I forgot, we came all the way on foot today." ”

Lu Li knew that his mother just missed his grandmother, but it awakened Lu Li's other memories, "Mom, when my grandmother was young, did she study abroad, or did she go to the big city to see the world?" Lu Li always felt that her grandmother was not an ordinary rural woman.

"Nope. Song Lingyi shook her head, "Your grandmother has stayed in the small mountain village at home all her life, and you don't know it." So she's always wanted to go out and see, even if it's just to see it at home, and that's good. ”

This answer made Lu Li a little disappointed, and just as he was thinking about how to continue to ask questions, Song Lingyi continued, "However, your maternal great-grandfather has been traveling from south to north, he used to be a businessman, he has seen the world, not only has he been to Nan/Beijing, but he has also done business in Bei/Beijing, but it was still called Beiping before. Therefore, your great-grandfather is very knowledgeable, and he cultivated your grandmother as a lady, not only can write, but also embroider, and also invited a special teacher to teach your grandmother to draw, so your grandmother is different from others, and her education for me and you is different from that of childhood. ”

"Painting?" Lu Li's heart skipped a beat, and those paintings in the ring space came to mind.

"That's right. Song Lingyi laughed, "And it's a foreigner." ”

"Foreigners?" Could it be that the paintings in the ring space are copies of the painting teacher? But what about the Degas? If, according to Marianne, the Germans stole the painting from the Gabrien Palace in St. Petersburg, then how could the Germans go to the southeastern mountain village to become teachers? This does not make sense......

"Have you returned all your history to the teacher?" Song Lingyi chuckled, "In the thirties and forties, there were indeed many missionaries in the generation of Shandong and Jiangsu, and they also served as teachers in primary and secondary schools, but we can hardly see them in the ravines. So at that time, a foreigner came over, and the small mountain village was really lively for a while, and it simply caused a sensation. ”

"So, did that teacher also open a school in our hometown?" Lu Li couldn't help but have some curiosity, in the thirties and forties, it was the end of World War II, and then the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke out, which was a turbulent period.

"Nope. Song Lingyi shook her head, "Our village is too conservative, every family is reluctant to hand over their children to a foreigner to teach, although that foreigner is also black-haired, but they still think it's too strange, after seeing the excitement, everyone avoids it." There are only a few people, and your maternal great-grandfather opened a private school in his own house, and if he was willing to send his children over, he would take classes there, and he said that it was a school, and there were only three or four students in all. ”

"Black hair?" Lu Li felt that there were more and more question marks, although he had not studied the bloodline and genes, but most of the Germanic people should be blonde and brown, right? There are not many black hair. Or is he wrong? "Mom, have you seen this teacher?"

"Nope. Song Lingyi's expression was inevitably a little regretful, "He died very early, when your grandmother was very young, it seems to be when she was nine or ten years old, I don't know, your grandmother only mentioned it to me once." If he stays, maybe I'll be able to learn to draw. ”

If it weren't for this foreign teacher, my grandmother wouldn't have had the opportunity to contact other foreigners, so where did the ring come from? Or did my great-grandfather give it to my grandmother? When my grandmother gave this ring to Lu Li, she didn't tell anything in particular, so Lu Li didn't pay much attention to it.

"What about this ring?" Lu Li raised his left hand and showed the ring to his mother, "Do you know who gave this ring to grandma?"

"Isn't this what your grandmother gave you, I don't know, didn't your grandmother tell you?" Song Lingyi glanced at it, she naturally knew about this ring, Lu Li shook his head, his face was dazed, Song Lingyi then speculated, "This is an ordinary silver ring, it doesn't look like a dowry, it may be a small gift from your maternal great-grandfather." ”

Lu Li originally wanted to explore the source of the ring, but now his doubts have not been answered, but he has become more and more confused, feeling that there are a few pieces of a puzzle that are scattered, but all the key parts are missing. It seems that this riddle will eventually have to be solved by my grandmother.

So, going around in circles is equivalent to not knowing anything. However, it is not quite right to say this, at least he knows some of his grandmother's past, and then projects it on himself. As Song Lingyi said, if it weren't for her grandmother, her and Lu Li's lives might be different, and more importantly, if it weren't for her grandmother, even if he got Liz's inheritance, this would not be the case now.

In a trance, he had the illusion that the wheel of fate was pulling him towards a wonderful reincarnation.

Originally, Lu Li was just curious about who this ring came from, but now, he was really curious and wanted to trace the history of this ring.

"What's the matter, do you miss your grandmother too?" Song Lingyi looked at Lu Li, who was deep in thought, and said with a smile.

Lu Li came back to his senses, groaned, and nodded in affirmation, "En." The last time I called my grandmother, she asked me if I would like to keep some of this year's zongzi. "Grandma always loved him so much that she had to leave him a copy of everything, even across the Pacific Ocean.

"When you have a graduation ceremony, remember to find more photos and send them to your grandmother. Song Lingyi instructed, "The first college student in our family is you, and your grandmother must be very happy." ”

"Hmm. Lu Li replied in a low voice, looking down at the gurgling stream flowing between his feet, "Go back and talk to Brother Kong Ming, let grandpa and grandma come over." He hopes to make his grandmother's dream come true, before it's too late.

Song Lingyi looked at Lu Li, who was calm in front of her, and the smile on the corner of her mouth rose slightly. The son has grown up, and his immature shoulders are enough to support a piece of the sky. Raising her head, Song Lingyi couldn't help but think that if her mother came to Yunding Ranch, she would definitely like it very much.

I don't know when, Lu Huaijin has already walked over and sat down at the other end of the bluestone. Song Lingyi glanced back at her husband and wiped away the faint water from the corners of her eyes; Lu Huaijin stretched out her right hand and spread it out, Song Lingyi put her right hand into the wide palm, Lu Huaijin tightened her fingers, and the faint warmth was transmitted through her fingertips.
