At the end of the month, it is summer, and it is said that at this time of year, some relatives and friends of the old man will come to G City from Beijing to come to the Gu family to accompany the old man Gu to have a lively time.

The courtyard of the Gu family has set up a pergola under the shade of one after another, Wang Ma and they are shuttling under the pergola with a plate of fruits and melon seeds and other things in their hands, Xin Yao is busy with He Jiezhen inside, and the old man Gu dragged Nancy and Xiu Li to talk with those old friends who came one by one outside, at this time, the Gu house is more lively than the Spring Festival, although the old man Gu was stubborn when he was young, but because of this straightforward temperament, he has made a lot of friends over the years.

"Xin Yao, the watermelon on the table over there hasn't been placed yet, you go and send this plate of watermelon." He Jiezhen handed her a plate of cut watermelon, and then turned to do other things.

Ji Xinyao walked out with a plate, and happened to see another car parked outside the courtyard, and an old man who looked a little familiar walked in.

"Oh, Gu Lao, I haven't seen you for many years, it's rare that you invited everyone here to get together this year and brought me with you! My son's hall happened to be renovated recently, I'm not too busy, take advantage of the time to come and walk, oops, the place where your Gu house was built is really good, the air is good! It's a great place to stay healthy! Yan"

Walking in with a smile, Old Man Gu also smiled and said, "Old Jane, you have seen more people in your son's Mid-Levels Guild Hall, and this is becoming more and more polite?" Where did that wild energy go? What kind of health, no matter how good my place is, it can't compare to your mid-levels club in F City, that's a good place! Haha, I'm just old, otherwise, I must go there often to support your son's business. ”

Ji Xinyao put down the plate in her hand and looked at the old man who walked in front of the door.

Jane Lao?

Isn't he the old man on the farm of the Mid-Levels Guild Hall in F City? It turned out that he and Old Man Gu were also old friends.

Xin Yao was looking over there, not knowing if it would be bad for her to go over and say hello so rashly, but over there, Jian Lao's eyes turned around, and after greeting a few old people, his eyes seemed to see Ji Xinyao at the pergola table at the front, and immediately beckoned to her with a smile: "Miss Ji, are you still thinking about those fruits in our orchard?" I specially brought you a lot, picked it in the morning, and it's still very fresh, I'll ask someone to carry it in for you later! ”

When Old Man Gu heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Xin Yao with a smile: "Xin Yao, do you know Old Jian?" ”

Xin Yao suddenly felt embarrassed, she couldn't tell her grandfather that when Gu Nancy went to F City to find her, the things that happened in the Mid-Levels Hall had to nod lightly, and then walked over and smiled politely at Jian Lao: "Jian Lao, do you remember that I like to eat the fruits in your orchard?" It's really tormenting my junior! ”

"Huh? What are you talking about, you are our Mayor Gu's beloved wife, and you are the granddaughter-in-law of Old Man Gu's beloved granddaughter-in-law, and you came to talk to me like this at the beginning, how could I not bring you something when I came this time! As soon as he spoke, he asked the man who came down from the car behind him to bring in a bag of fresh fruit and put it on the table next to him.

Xin Yao smiled appreciatively, and He Jiezhen was calling her inside, so she said hello again, then turned around and went back to follow suit.

There were no less than thirty people invited to the Gu family today, so the Gu family simply set up three tables of banquets, so that Old Man Gu could chat with these old friends to his heart's content.

"Old man Gu is really full of children and grandchildren now, not only has he found his grandson who is out of exile, but now the little doll in his daughter-in-law's womb is about to be born, and he is about to be in the same house for four generations, which is really enviable!"

"Hey, there are not a few of you in the same family, if I hadn't married too late and had children too late, I'm afraid my little great-grandchildren would already be able to play soy sauce now!" Old Man Gu wiped his mouth, his face was satisfied, but his mouth was still modest.

"Yes, in our era, you could take a little wife and have children in your teens, and you got married in your thirties, which is indeed late, but the sister-in-law Gu you married us back then was still a heroine among women in our era! It's a pity that he died of illness many years ago, otherwise, Lao Gu, you really don't lack anything! ”

"Don't say it, Lao Gu, you've been talking about it for so many years, why don't you plan to find yourself a wife?"

"What kind of wife are you looking for!" Old man Gu waved his hand: "How old are you, it's enough to have children and grandchildren with you, it's troublesome to have multiple halfway wives, old man, I like to be quiet, you don't know." ”

"I heard that our granddaughter-in-law is pregnant with two? In the future, the two little children will be dangling in front of you all day long, and it is indeed enough for you to bear! ”

"Two more, huh? I can't wait for our Xin Yao's child to fight a little more and give us a triplet directly! Old Man Gu was full of jokes.

Ji Xinyao, who was serving the food with He Jiezhen over there, heard it, and suddenly her face turned red, and she didn't dare to look at the smiling gaze that a group of old people on the old man's side threw at her, but she just turned her eyes and looked in the direction where Gu Nancy and Xiuli were, angry

Glanced at Gu Nancy strangely.

Gu Nancy obviously heard the loud voice of the old man over there, so she smiled knowingly, and after saying a few words to the old people beside her, she walked over, took the plate in her hand, and smiled lightly: "Shy?" ”

Ji Xinyao blushed: "Grandpa is about to treat me as a sow......"

Gu Nancy smiled and stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her shoulders and hugged her into his arms: "The old man has a life, how dare I, as a grandson, disobey?" ”

As he spoke, he leaned over her ear: "It seems that after these two little things are born, we will continue to work hard to create another small thing~"

Ji Xinyao's face was even more red, she raised her hand and quietly pinched him, seeing Gu Nancy pretending to be in pain, she let out a "hum~", and then hurriedly stretched out her hand to push him: "Let go, so many people are here~"

Gu Nancy kissed her gently in her ear, and then patted her shoulder: "No matter how much you need to exercise, you can't be tired, you go to rest, I'll serve the food." ”

"No, Mom said, it's good for my body to let me walk back and forth like this, and when the child is about to be born, it will help smooth delivery......" Xin Yao hurriedly grabbed the plate.

"I don't want you to work too hard." Gu Nancy suddenly whispered this, looking at her with soft eyes, her eyes were full of care.

Xin Yao's heart moved, so she didn't fight with him, and saw that there were a few old men with very gossipy eyes looking at them, so she pushed him away with a red face, turned around and ran back to the house alone.

Jian Lao didn't know when he walked out of the pergola, and was looking at a few bottles of blue and white porcelain in the corner in the living room of Gu Mansion. ”

As soon as Jian Laoyi heard her voice, he looked back at her and said with a smile: "I, I eat these things every day, this is specially brought to you Miss Ji, you are pregnant now, it is a good thing to eat more fruits." ”

Xin Yao put down the fruit plate with a smile: "Elder Jian is usually so busy, but I can take the time to come over today, it seems that I have a deep friendship with my grandfather, I haven't heard you say it last time." ”

"I can't say whether this friendship is deep or shallow, but it is true that there were some friendships many years ago, and there have been occasional contacts in recent years, but there are not many times, this time I can be invited, but Mr. Gu values me." Jian Lao smiled, and then looked at Ji Xinyao, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

Seeing that Jian Lao seemed to have something to say, Xin Yao looked at him with inquiring eyes: "Jian Lao, do you have something to say to your juniors?" ”

"Miss Ji, the person I mentioned to you last time who looked a little like you was your mother, right?" He asked suddenly.

Xin Yao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Old Jian, did you guess?" ”

"Hehe, I guessed it a long time ago, but I'm not sure." Jian Lao's eyes were a little meaningful, and when he said this, he actually sighed faintly: "Your surname is Ji, it seems that ...... She still didn't get out of that person's world, and in the end......"

He paused, then shook his head again: "I said a long time ago, bystander Qing, she and Ji Qiuhang will not have any results, but they have to be obsessed with those past events." ”

"Do you know what happened to my mom?" The last time I heard Jian Lao say it was so vague, although Xin Yao put it in her heart, she didn't dare to ask deeply, but seeing that Jian Lao was now able to say these words because she knew that she was Shan Xiaoou's daughter, her eyes immediately lit up: "Jian Lao, do you know what happened to my mother at that time, right?" ”

Jian Lao looked at her: "Xiao Ou, she ...... Is it really dead? ”

Xin Yao's face froze: "How do you know?" ”

Jian Lao also turned his head in confusion, and whispered: "I also think it's strange, there have been a lot of rumors from Y City recently, it is rumored that a young woman committed suicide in a certain building in Y City twenty-one years ago, which caused a sensation in the military region of a province over there, but the news was blocked very strictly, since it is a news that has been blocked for so long, how could it come out overnight, and it spread to F City?" ”

Xin Yao didn't understand a little, but when she heard Jian Lao say this, she suddenly remembered that Xiao Nuan suddenly called her a few days ago and asked her how she was doing, whether she was in a good mood, and said that no matter what happened in the past, don't let those past events affect the current happiness, in short, there are many heart-wrenching and extremely comforting words.

At that time, Xin Yao thought that something had happened to Su Xiaonuan, but now it seems that it is...... The news of the blockade of Y City back then was spread? Even G City has already arrived?

Xiao Nuan accidentally saw those bloody photos of her mother after her suicide in the office that time, so Xiao Nuan guessed that it was her mother?

Ji Xinyao was also puzzled.

How could it suddenly be reported?

This kind of thing will definitely not be done by the Ji family, this is obviously asking for a dead end.

and her mother's grave

Is it because of these reasons that people have been visiting the land so often lately? Wouldn't there be anything good for the journalist? Or is it some old friend who doesn't know about her mother's death training?

Looking at Xin Yao's expression, Jian Lao seemed to know the answer as if he didn't need her to answer, and even sighed, looked at the blue and white porcelain in front of him, and stopped talking.

Ji Xinyao pondered for a while, thinking that Gu Nancy went to Y City quietly some time ago, it should have been because he had seen the news, so as not to worry her, so he didn't tell her, but just went to check the situation in Y City for her.

"Elder Jane, can you tell me about my mother's past?"

Xin Yao looked at Jian Lao and didn't seem to know the cause of Shan Xiaoou's death at all, but she had some understanding of what happened a few years before she committed suicide, and she was not very curious about her mother's past, but what had happened for so long made her feel that her mother was a mystery back then.

"You were four the year she left, right?" Jian Lao seemed to hesitate for a moment, then turned his head to look at her, and said solemnly.

Xin Yao nodded.

Jian Lao also nodded: "Then it seems that it is right, when she was there with me, she was really pregnant with you." ”

Speaking of this, Jian Lao's eyes suddenly became very melancholy: "Blame me, I also blame me, at that time, I felt that Xiao Ou was much younger than me, she still had her good future, and she shouldn't be anchored because of me, a man who was too many years older than her, but I was wrong, if I had been selfish back then, with my feelings for Xiao Ou, I would have taken her away from Y City and let her completely leave Ji Qiuhang's mongrel, maybe she is still alive now, and she is alive and well, and you ...... The relationship with me is that of father and daughter, even if it is only in name, child, I believe that I will definitely treat you better than Ji Qiuhang, at least I will not let you suffer. ”

Jian Lao frowned, and always sighed and shook his head: "I shouldn't have left back then, I really shouldn't have ......."

Xin Yao was suddenly moved by what Jane said, and her eyes were hot, and she didn't know if it was because of his feelings for his mother back then, or because of what he said about the fatherly love he wanted to give her.

Although there is no fate after all, there are people in this world who have thought of giving her a father's love, giving their mother and daughter a home, and giving her mother a happiness, which makes her very gratified.

She smiled: "My mother missed you back then, and it was also her regret, maybe you didn't have a chance in this life, and you will continue in the next life, you haven't married for so many years, shouldn't it be because of her?" ”

Jian Lao laughed: "It's because of her." ”

Xin Yao was dumbfounded.

She suddenly felt that her mother was very sad, there were such good people guarding her, caring about her, and loving her, why did she have to cling to that impossible person? Would you rather die at the end of the day than look back at someone who is truly warm?

Once a woman becomes stupid, it is really pitiful and hateful.

Not wanting to mention these heavy topics anymore, Xin Yao adjusted her mentality, and suddenly thought of Shi Fang, so she asked directly: "Do you know Shi Fang?" ”

When Jian Lao heard this name, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then thought about it carefully, and then said: "I don't know each other, but I heard that your mother has said this name, this Shi Fang should be her very good friend back then, she studied painting in the United States together, and the relationship is very good, there should be nothing to talk about, I was also very strange later, although Shi Fang and I are not familiar with it, but I also know my feelings for Xiao Ou, but after Xiao Ou died, she didn't even try to find me to tell me this." ”

"That's because Shi Fang is crazy, in a very hidden sanatorium in the United States, he was locked up for more than 20 years." Xin Yao said.

Jian Lao immediately looked at her in surprise: "Also in the same year that your mother committed suicide?" ”

Seeing Jian Lao's expression, as if he knew something, Xin Yao did not hide those secrets this time, but nodded: "Yes, the same year." ”

Elder Jian turned his head and no longer looked at her, but walked slowly to the side, as if thinking about something.

"Do you know what really happened? Why did my mother and Shi Fang commit suicide and go crazy the other? Was it a coincidence or murder? Elder Jane, do you know anything? Xin Yao hurriedly followed and asked quietly.

"If I'm right......"

Jian Lao stopped, as if he was thinking about something, and then paused, looked back at Ji Xinyao, and immediately frowned, his eyes seemed to be a little puzzled, he suddenly turned his head again, looked around, looked at the Gu family, and then looked at Ji Xinyao's body and her stomach, his lips moved, but he didn't speak.

Xin Yao was puzzled by his eyes, and even felt a panic with a woman's sixth sense, and followed him to look around, looked around, didn't feel anything unusual, and then touched his face: "What's wrong?" Do I have any questions? ”
