Drove away Yang Qu, who had an active atmosphere, Yang Jin and Xiao Ai looked at each other, but her eyes were full of kind encouragement, Xiao Ai finally looked at her and smiled, and then learned from Yang Qu and said to her: "I wish you a safe journey, I wish you a good start, and I wish you to live forever...... Mother. ”

Yang Jin nodded heavily, then hugged Xiao Ai and whispered in her ear: "No regrets......

"Mom, you must pay attention to your body over there...... Jiang Qiao and I will go over to see you as soon as we have time. ”

Yang Jin answered, and then turned to me and said, "Jiang Qiao, you are the same, in your future life, you have to take care of Xiao Ai more." When the two live together, they must be less angular, more understanding and tolerant...... You have also experienced enough, when you encounter difficulties, think about what you were together for, even if you can't go on, you can put your hands down temporarily, but your heart can't go. ”

I nodded, then closed my eyes. At this time when I was about to separate, I remembered the bumpy lives of Yang Jin and Jiang Jiyou. I have thought more than once, if one day, Jiang Jiyou returns to her life again, will she be willing to face him with a forgiving mentality?

Seriously, I never expected them to continue their relationship, but I have forgiven Jiang Jiyou in my heart, I hope he is still alive, and if he is not doing well, I am also willing to provide for him in his old age. Because I knew that if my grandmother was still alive, she would want me to do it.

In a breath, I opened my eyes, and then said to Yang Qu, who was idle: "If you haven't been busy recently, accompany your mother to live there for a month." ”

Yang Qu was more open than me, she shook her head, and replied: "I can't go, because after this play is over, I still want to take another play before I go to the United States to study...... It's time for me to be self-reliant, so I want to earn my living expenses for the next few years by my own labor. ”

After a slight pause, she put her hand on my shoulder again and said with a smile, "Okay, brother...... Don't worry about everything, everyone is free, my mother and I should be even more free, we will all live well...... You think, in fact, when you worry about us, we worry about you, but is that kind of worry useful? …… It's really useless, because this kind of worry is just something in your mind, the trajectory of our life, but under our own feet. ”

Yang Qu said and helped Yang Jin pick up the luggage she was carrying, and then pulled her towards the security checkpoint, and when she was about to approach, she turned around and smiled at me and Xiao Ai, it seemed that among the people present, she was the most free.

Xiao Ai and I followed their footsteps, and then silently watched Yang Jin pass through the security check, and at this moment, I felt as if something was missing in my heart, and it became empty...... I really hope that I can be as free and easy as Yang Qu and face Yang Jin's choice freely.

But the next moment, Yang Qu squatted on the ground and cried bitterly, and after a long time, her free and easy was only disguised. She really deserves to be a student at the School of Drama, and she broke our hearts.

Xiao Ai squatted beside her and whispered comfort. After a long time, she calmed down her emotions a little, choked up and said to us, "Brother, sister-in-law...... Let's go over there and see Mom when we have time...... I'm really worried about her, but I don't want her to be burdened by our worries...... I can especially understand her decision, but when I heard her say that she might not come back in the future, it really hurt my heart...... Why can't the family be together well, and must be divided into south, south, south, and north? ”

Xiao Ai and I glanced at each other, in addition to being distressed, there was also helplessness, because compared to Yang Qu, our hearts are not much better, but they can't change anything. I only hope that one day, the family can be reunited......

And the only thing that makes me feel gratified is that Yang Qu, who seems to be giggling, has also grown up in this series of joys and sorrows in life, and she has learned to understand the feelings of others, so she will behave so freely in front of Yang Jin.

……

Sent Yang Jin away, I sent Yang Qu to the high-speed rail station, she wanted to go back to the school to do a report performance, after that, I sent Xiao Ai to "Jinding Real Estate" and then I went back to the place where I lived and slept hard, I was so tired.

This night, I slept until four o'clock in the afternoon. The first thing I did when I woke up was to look at my phone, there was no phone at work, but there were a few calls from friends. Three of them are Chen Yi's. I just remembered that about Wu Lei and Gu Lin's wedding, we still have a little thing to communicate, and it's no wonder that she is anxious, because the day after tomorrow is the day of the wedding, and my energy is scattered to other places.

I hurriedly called her, she answered quickly, and then we made an appointment to meet at the "Wutong Hotel".

……

Because I was on Tulip Road, I arrived first, asked for beer and some dried fruits and waited for Chen Yi, I knew that she would not be able to arrive for a while, because this point is the most congested in Nanjing.

In the middle of this, I received a call from Xiao Ai, she asked me to eat by myself in the evening, and she would go to Shanghai once, accompanied by Qiao Ye and Qin Miao. I know that they are still for Li Zishan's equity transfer, I thought they had something to say, but they got a negative answer. Xiao Ai said that neither he nor Qiao Ye wanted to be so passive anymore, so they decided to go over and touch the details of this investment company in person.

I asked her how many days she would stay in Shanghai, because Gu Lin and Wu Lei's wedding was about to take place, and she would definitely not be absent as a bridesmaid. This time, I got an affirmative reply that she would be back the day after tomorrow.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was six o'clock, and it was the twilight of summer, followed by the heat everywhere with the chirping of cicadas. I drank my beer and looked intently out the window at the golden sun-drenched street. A few years ago, at this point in time, you would see a lot of uncles and aunts shaking a fan under the tree, but now it is rare. Occasionally, it has long been overwhelmed by the endless flow of vehicles and crowds. The current Tulip Road is not much different from many commercial streets in Nanjing, and several bus lines have been added to this road this year alone.

In the midst of such changes, I can no longer recall the times when I lay on the green grass on the side of the road, wearing a sunhat, and watching the sunset through the leaves. I was like a floating cloud, blown by the wind, and I didn't have time to look back at the simple but impressive scenery in my life.

After drinking a bottle of beer, a Mercedes-Benz stopped outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and then Chen Yi walked out of the car, and after handing over the car keys to the little brother who was in charge of parking, she walked to the hotel.

She sat down across from me, fanning the wind with her hands, and asked me, "Is it that if I don't call you, you won't care about Gu Lin and Wu Lei?" …… You used to be a wedding planner, don't you know how much preparation you have to do before you get married? …… Jiang Qiao, if you don't ask about things like this, you shouldn't have promised them to hold a wedding in the first place, I'm almost too busy! ”

I folded my hands and apologized to her: "Blame me, blame me, these two days are really too busy, so busy that I don't even have time to be idle in a daze, really!" ”

Chen Yi asked suspiciously, "Is it really so busy?" ”

"Really."

"What are you busy with?"

I replied with a little perfunctory: "There are a lot of bits and pieces, and I have to do them all." ”

"Tell me what it's all about."

"My mother was discharged from the hospital, I have to run before and after, and I went to the airport to see her off this morning, and once and again, the time for a morning was gone."

"Auntie has returned to Shenzhen?"

I shook my head, and remembered the scene when I sent Yang Jin through the security check this morning, and I replied with a somewhat depressed mood: "I sent her abroad, and I may live abroad for a long time......"

Chen Yi looked at me with some incredulity, and sighed: "It's too sudden, is there anyone to take care of her abroad, and you don't persuade her!" ”

I persuaded her, but she insisted on going...... I discussed it with Xiao Ai, and when we have time, we will go abroad to see her, and if it is really like what she said, we will be relieved. ”

"Go early, she has just recovered from this serious illness, and going abroad not only has to overcome the loneliness brought by the unfamiliar environment, but also adapt to the climate there, which is also a big challenge for her body!"

Hearing Chen Yi say this, my inner worry increased again, so I calculated in my heart again, can I mention the time to see her abroad.

In a distraction, Chen Yi said to me again: "Don't tell me, I've been busy with such a thing in the past few days." ”

I was stunned for a moment, then looked at her face, which hadn't changed much from her girlhood......

I used to fantasize more than once when I was younger, what she would be like when she married me. However, because of my own choice, I didn't even see her in her wedding dress after all. I don't dare to say that this is a pity, but it is a lamp in my heart that can never be lit, and those apple-like pasts are hidden in the dark, little by little.

I finally opened my mouth and said to Chen Yi: "Yesterday morning, Xiao Ai and I got the certificate. ”

Chen Yi's face turned pale, she was so stunned, and after a long time, she squeezed out some smiles and said to me: "Okay, it's good...... Finally, there is such a woman who will accompany you for the rest of your life. I believe that with a woman like Xiao Ai, you will not feel monotonous. I've always felt that you have similar values, and that's really important in married life...... Hehe......"

Chen Yi just said incoherently, and my heart sank with it. I know that from the moment I told Chen Yi the news of my marriage, we were really saying goodbye in the world of feelings...... From now on, I will no longer think about those simple and beautiful pasts, and she will no longer keep my Jiangqiao in her heart. We have known each other for nearly 30 years, but we have not been able to live as husband and wife after all.

But is this a pity?

It's an unsolvable question, at least, I'll never find out.
