The car drove into the parking lot of the cemetery, and Bai Yiru's mood was very complicated.

Her face was solemn, and there were tears flashing in the corners of her eyes.

Gu Qixi and Gu Jiayi, who were noisy because of the unfamiliar scenery along the way, also felt the change in Bai Yiru's mood, and gradually quieted down, and followed her obediently, not noisy or noisy.

Coming to the familiar tombstone, Bai Yiru neatly placed the flowers in her hand on the platform, took out a white handkerchief and gently wiped her mother's photo.

"Mom, I'm back to see you. I haven't come to see you for a long time, it's because I'm not filial. She knelt in front of the tombstone, tears raining down, and she couldn't stop crying.

"Don't be too upset." Gu Dongning gently patted Bai Yiru's shoulder and asked the two children to kneel down together, "Mom, this is my child with Yiru, the eldest daughter Gu Qixi, and the youngest son Gu Jiayi." The children are healthy, I will take care of them and Yiru, you can rest assured. ”

Gu Qixi and Gu Jiayi looked at the photo of their grandmother on the tombstone, and they all pouted and were about to cry.

"Call Grandma. Kowtow to grandma. Bai Yiru taught the children to call people.

"Grandma."

The two spoke together, and kowtowed like Bai Yiru.

"Mom, we haven't seen Grandma yet, won't we see each other in the future?" Gu Qixi was a little older, although he didn't know what the concept of death was, but he also felt the severity of the problem, muttered in his heart, and began to cry sadly.

"Hmm. But Grandma will watch us in heaven. Bai Yiru hugged Gu Qixi, and the two cried together.

"But what if Chiayi misses her grandmother?" Gu Jiayi also cried, "Can't grandma be by Chiayi's side like grandma?" ”

"Silly boy, grandma is no longer here, of course she can't accompany us like grandma." Gu Dongning wiped Gu Jiayi's tears, "When a person dies, he can't come back to life, and no one can change this." Dad can't, mom can't, you can't go with Tanabata. ”

"What if mom misses mom?" Gu Jiayi sobbed, sniffed, and looked at Bai Yiru with sympathetic eyes.

"Then I can only think about it, I can't see it." Gu Dongning's explanation of death to the child made him feel sad, and he felt even more distressed about Bai Yiru.

"Mom, if you are like a mother in the future, Chiayi will accompany you, okay?" Gu Jiayi rushed over to wipe Bai Yiru's tears, "Mom doesn't cry, I'll give my mother a call, and I won't be sad if I whew." ”

"Well, okay, Chiayi will accompany my mother in the future." Bai Yiru was pleased that her child was sensible.

"Mom, I'm going to be with you too. Tanabata wants to be a mother's intimate little padded jacket. Gu Qixi rubbed in Bai Yiru's arms, "Grandma must want me to guard my mother." ”

"Yes, grandma hopes that we will all guard our mothers, love our mothers, and make our mothers happy, so you must be good children and not make your mothers angry." Gu Dongning said to the children, and promised Bai Yiru's mother in his heart: I also want to be a good husband, love Yiru, love Yiru, and let her live happily without being wronged for the rest of her life.

"Mom, do you remember the first song I learned from you?" Bai Yiru leaned on the tombstone, rubbing her fingers against her mother's cheek in the photo, cold and lifeless, "Sweet honey, you smile sweetly~ It seems that flowers bloom in the spring breeze~ Bloom in the spring breeze~ Where and where have I seen you~ Your smile~ So familiar~ I can't remember it for a while~ Ah~~ In a dream~ I have seen you in a dream~ How sweet a sweet smile."

It's you~ It's you~ It's you who dreamed of you......"

The light singing sounded, with a whimper, which made people cry when they heard it.

Gu Qixi always listened to Bai Yiru sing this song, and basically knew how to sing it, so he sang it with Bai Yiru.

Gu Jiayi's pronunciation is not accurate, and he can sing some babbling and sing along.

Gu Dongning hugged his wife and children, listening to this sad song, his mood was very heavy.

Bai Yiru cried for a long time, and her mood finally calmed down, and she gradually stopped crying, but just cried lightly.

Gu Dongning asked the children to work together, cleaned up the weeds around the grave, swept the dust, and wiped the surrounding area of the tombstone carefully.

"Dad, don't you think your aunt looks like grandma?" After finishing the work, everyone sat in front of the tombstone to rest, Gu Qixi looked at the photos of his grandmother for a long time, and suddenly asked Gu Dongning.

Gu Dongning nodded, "It's a little." ”

"Huh? Could it be that my aunt is another daughter of my grandmother? Actually, we should call it aunt, not aunt's? Gu Qixi began to use his imagination again.

"How so." Bai Yiru laughed, "My aunt was born and raised in Germany, and my mother was born and raised here, how can she be a sister?" ”

"That's right. But I still think my aunt is like my grandmother. Gu Qixi nodded, indicating that he understood Bai Yiru's explanation, but also reserved his own opinion.

"Even the children have noticed that you look alike, it seems that you are really similar, I didn't find out before." Gu Dongning was very puzzled, he had been with Zhong Jing for more than 20 years, and he had been married to Bai Yiru for so long and didn't find anything, until that time Master Gu appeared with a photo of Emilia.

"You didn't look at the confectionery before, how did you find out?" Bai Yiru was secretly glad, very unkindly thinking that it was fortunate that Gu Dongning didn't find out that Zhong Jing looked like him, otherwise he would be Zhong Jing's, where would he be his turn.

"It's not too early, we should go to Tong Xiaoxin's house." Gu Dongning looked up at the sky, the sun was slanting in the west, and the golden light was splashing on everything in the world, so warm that people wanted to make time stand still forever.

Bai Yiru nodded, said a few more words to her mother, and the family left to go to Tong Xiaoxin's house.

Tong Xiaoxin was not idle after returning home, although Ning Xiuji was there, she still did not escape being bombarded by her parents in turn.

"Xiaoxin, let me tell you, Xiu Ji, this child, I think it's good, you are not too young, if you don't want to get married, don't talk about it quickly, delay other people's children." The child's father couldn't easily catch a child's mother and Ning Xiuji in the living room, and Tong Xiaoxin was in the bedroom, so he hurriedly came in to give his daughter a thought lesson.

"Dad, I'm not bad, am I?" Tong Xiaoxin scratched her ears, why did she delay Ning Xiuji? And what does it mean not to get married? Could it be that in the eyes of her father, she is playing hooligan when she falls in love?

"Then can you have someone to repair it? People have a talent, their family is good, they don't lack anything, can you still live without it? If you want to stabilize dìng, get married quickly, and when the duck flies, see if you have it! Father Tong's disgusted eyes swept over Tong Xiaoxin.

"I'm also a talent, my family is not bad, is the home of a civil servant good?" Tong Xiaoxin suddenly had a feeling that she was not her own, and she was secretly jealous of why Ning Xiuji was so liked, she was not liked at all in his house, this Yan zhòng was not fair, could she still have a good play?

"You don't have a poor mouth!" Father Tong slapped Tong Xiaoxin on the head without hesitation.

"Dad!" Tong Xiaoxin frowned and looked at her father, "If I want to say that I can't compare to Ning Xiuji, that is, IQ, I was stupid by you!" ”

"Can I call you a little more stupid, believe it or not?!" The boy pretended to be fierce and glared at his daughter.

"I believe it! Then you can make me stupid a little more, preferably so stupid that no one wants me. Tong Xiaoxin retorted in a low voice.

"You kid ......" Father Tong stretched out his hand, and before the slap could reach Tong Xiaoxin's head, he was interrupted by Ning Xiuji, who came to the door.

"Uncle, even if Xiaoxin is so stupid that no one wants it, I want it. Anyway, no matter what she becomes, I only need her for the rest of my life. Ning Xiuji stood at the door and said to Father Tong with a smile, her doting eyes fell on Tong Xiaoxin's face.

Tong Xiaoxin immediately felt that she was tall, and stuck out her tongue at Tong's father, "Look, even if your father dislikes me, there are always people who don't dislike me." With that, she ran to Ning Xiuji, hugged his arm, and rubbed on him, "It's better for our family to repair Ji." ”

"Ahem! What to do! I'm still here! Father Tong's face immediately darkened, and he also had to see if the occasion was good, but he was still a father, could you not ignore him so directly? Tearful eyes ~ My daughter is old and can't keep it!

"Huh." Tong Xiaoxin smiled dryly, let go of Ning Xiuji, looked at Father Tong with a blushing smile, pointed to the door, and made a gesture of invitation, "Then you go slowly." ”

"Why am I leaving? To make out to go to the hotel! I'm not a hotel here! The boy's father said in a deep voice, secretly thinking that his daughter must have made love to Ning Xiuji, but why is there no baby yet, he wants to be a grandfather anymore!

"Ahem!"

This time, Tong Xiaoxin and Ning Xiuji coughed together, Father Tong was too direct!

Ning Xiuji touched her nose and went out first, although she didn't mind going to the hotel with Tong Xiaoxin to make love, but now that she didn't have a 'permit', she still restrained herself a little, so as not to be disgusted by her parents, and she would never get a 'permit'.

Father Tong glanced at Tong Xiaoxin and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Tong Xiaoxin followed the path that her father's eyes had walked just now, and finally landed on her little belly.

"Ahh She turned around and threw herself on the sheet, Dad, can you not be so direct, so open-minded, so avant-garde - your old man thinks so much about his daughter having a child out of wedlock?!

"What are you crying wolf? Xiu Ji is still outside, so that people can hear it, and they think that I was born a freak! Tong's mother walked in, with an apron in front of her, and slapped Tong Xiaoxin's buttocks.

Tong Xiaoxin sat up with a bounce, frowning and rubbing her ass.

"Mom, you don't cook well, why are you beating me?" She must not be biological, this can be verified without DNA, how can there be a daughter who is beaten by her parents in turn?

"I'm here to see what you're crying wolf?" Tong's mother glared at her daughter, and waved the big spoon in her hand, which scared Tong Xiaoxin to dodge, for fear that the spoon would dig into her head.

"Be careful, although Ning Xiuji doesn't dislike me, you and my dad don't have to make one stupid for me and disfigure me, right?" After Tong Xiaoxin finished speaking, she looked at the big spoon beckoned by Tong's mother, and immediately made a defensive action, "Mom, the oil and water are dripping on the sheets, this is not easy to wash!" ”

Mother Tong looked at the sheet and withdrew the big spoon in her hand, "Tell me, what kind of development have you and Xiu Ji reached?" ”

"Cheng dù in love."

"You tell me honestly! Don't play stupid with me, foreigners are avant-garde in their thinking, I don't believe you don't know what I'm asking! Mother Tong waved the spoon, which was her powerful weapon.

Tong Xiaoxin was always ready to protect herself and escape, and smiled a little ugly, "Mom, why did you and Dad become gossipy?" In the past, you weren't like this, and you forbade gossip at home, weren't you afraid of leaking criminal information? ”

"I'm not gossiping now, I'm coerced confession! If you seriously confess your crimes to me, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will give you a spoonful! ”

"Can you be subtle?" Tong Xiaoxin suddenly felt that she was staging a sad drama, could she cry? No! Because the mother in front of me is interrogating the prisoner with the kind of people in the ancient yamen, and is ready to torture herself! "Mom, I haven't really gotten to that far." She decided to change her strategy and be coquettish + cheating, "It's just that he sometimes comes to spend the night with me, and that's it." ”

"That's it, your stomach hasn't reacted yet?" Tong's mother was obviously very satisfied with Ning Xiuji's initiative, but she was not satisfied with her daughter's belly, "You didn't check, whose problem is it?" ”

"Poof!" Tong Xiaoxin couldn't help laughing, "Mom, we're all healthy, okay?" What kind of children are you having now? ”

"Why don't you have children? They all slept together, and they didn't give birth yet? Anyway, if you want to get married, you will have to give birth sooner or later, or if you are born early, you are not young! ”

"The problem is that we're not married yet!" Tong Xiaoxin covered her face, is it fortunate or unfortunate that her family has such avant-garde parents?

"Didn't you come back this time to discuss marriage with us?" The child's mother suddenly discovered the problem of Yan zhòng.

"Come back and see you and Dad, let you go through it first, and let the marriage matter be a step later." Tong Xiaoxin didn't tell her parents that she hadn't passed Ning Xiuji's mother's level.

"I'll tell you the truth, Xiu Ji's child, your father and I are satisfied, it's you, we don't feel at ease!" Mother Tong shook her head and muttered in a low voice, "I really don't know if it was because of what virtues we accumulated in our previous lives, or if the Xiu Ji family created some sins, and I actually made him fall in love with you." ”

"What's wrong with me?" Tong Xiaoxin really wanted to roar, she wanted to roar, what was wrong with her, so she was disgusted by her parents Chi Guoguo.

"What's wrong with you? I know how to study and study all day long, what is the use of reading so much? Will the book tell sù how to keep a good man? If you study all day long and snub men, a man will dump you sooner or later! Tong's mother waved the spoon again, 'taught' her daughter, "Have your time to study, accompany Xiu Ji more, cook for him, wash clothes, the details of life can not be ambiguous at all, what men care about most is this, marrying a wife naturally wants to marry a woman who knows cold and warmth to herself!" ”

"Aang! Got it! Remember! Tong Xiaoxin regretted that she had gone home, isn't this the same as Sun Monkey looking for Tang Seng to tighten the spell! Headache!

"Open the door! Mom went cooking! When the doorbell rang, the child's mother waved her spoon and instructed her daughter to go out and go back to the kitchen by herself.

Tong Xiaoxin sighed, went out to open the door, and after seeing Bai Yiru, she couldn't help hugging her, and silently told her grievances.

Bai Yiru smiled, walked into the house to greet everyone, and went to the kitchen to see the child's mother.

"Auntie, are you giving Xiaoxin another education lesson?" She smiled and handed a plate to the child's mother.

"You can't do it if you don't do it. Tell me, if only Xiaoxin were half as gentle and obedient as you. That temper, I think God made a mistake, and actually made me turn her into a girl. Tong's mother has always admired Bai Yiru's gentleness and skill, and thinks that girls should be like her, so this is her favorite among her daughter's friends.

"Auntie, look at what you said, Xiaoxin is very good, everyone has everyone's temperament, if they are all the same as me, it will be boring. And if that's the case, Xiaoxin won't be Xiaoxin. ”

"Anyway, I still like you." The kitchen knife in Tong's mother's hand rose and fell rapidly, and she cut a plate of spare vegetables at once, "Go out and play, Auntie can be alone here." Look at my daughter, waiting to eat ready-made, and don't even look at the kitchen. ”

"It's okay, I'll help you, there's nothing to do anyway."

"I finally came back once, just treat it as my mother's house, how can I say that I can work when I go back to my mother's house. Go ahead, play with Xiaoxin and take care of the children. The child's mother lovingly pushed Bai Yiru out of the kitchen.

Bai Yiru had no choice but to smile and nodded, she had many bad experiences, but she was lucky after all, and later met many, many good people, who were very good to her.

"Mom, do you think this dog looks like our Berta?" Gu Jiayi hugged the pet dog raised by Tong's parents.

"Well, sort of." Bai Yiru pinched her son's ears, "Go play with my sister." ”

"No problem." Gu Jiayi ran away.

Gu Dongning, Ning Xiuji and Tong's father were chatting, talking about the question of what kind of stock, anyway, it was not a topic that Bai Yiru and Tong Xiaoxin were interested in.

"Let's go to the bedroom." Bai Yiru whispered to Tong Xiaoxin.

Tong Xiaoxin nodded, and the two walked to the bedroom, anyway, now that her mother is cooking, and her father is being pulled to chat, no one will come in to 'abuse' her again.

"Xiaoxin, when did you take this photo?" Bai Yiru looked through Tong Xiaoxin's photo album and found a few that he had never seen.

"After I went to Germany, I came back a few times to see my parents." Tong Xiaoxin sat next to Bai Yiru and looked through it together, recalling the past, "This is in our school, I almost hit you that time, and I ran away." ”

"Alas! It's a bit too much, you! I actually ran away when I saw me. Bai Yiru bumped Tong Xiaoxin with her arm.

"Aren't you worried that you will tell Ning Xiuji!" Tong Xiaoxin pointed to one of them, "This is in Chiayi, I went to Aunt Dean's place and took a picture for you, you sit there and paint, Gu Dongning feels sorry for you, I saw it." ”

"You've been looking at me for a long time?"

"Hmm. But I still didn't dare to come forward and talk to you. ”

"You're really ruthless, to you, to us, it's all! Ning Xiuji was looking for you everywhere that day, and he was afraid that I would be worried about the tire gas, so he didn't dare to tell me, and then you met again, and I only heard about it. ”

"Who called Ning Xiuji, it was not good for me at that time. Eat gan wipe clean, but there is not a word. You don't know how silent he is, with my old temper, I really want to beat him up like a ball of shit. Alas, who told me to like people first, I can't do it if I am soft-hearted. ”

"If you like it, you have to chase it bravely, and you will be afraid when you get to yourself." Bai Yiru and Bai Tong Xiaoxin glanced at her.

"It's not that you don't know, I have a lot of theoretical knowledge and too little practical experience."

"I'm sorry to say that when I was first taught, the head was the way."

"I'm responsible for you, don't be kind." Tong Xiaoxin also gave Bai Yiru a roll of the eyes, "Don't say that the novels I gave you at that time were more heavy in content, and they didn't work on you and Gu Dongning later!" ”

"You don't talk about it." Bai Yiru thought of the novel that Tong Xiaoxin came from at that time, and her heart beat vigorously, fortunately she didn't ask Gu Dongning to see it, otherwise if he really treated her as written in the novel, she would definitely fall apart in a few days, and she wouldn't even have a chance to reload.

"Shy, huh? Hee-hee! Tong Xiaoxin looked like she knew it, and her eyes were full of 'I understand, Gu Dongning is not enough to talk to you 17,000 times, and you change tricks every night, how to stimulate how to come'.

Bai Yiru was too lazy to tell Tong Xiaoxin any more, anyway, this woman was heavy-mouthed, and she couldn't communicate normally about this originally very noble and sacred topic about human reproduction.

"The little wooden box I left in your house before, is it still there?" She suddenly remembered her own things, and this time she remembered to take them with her.

"Wait for me to find out." Tong Xiaoxin took a chair and stood up, turned out a cardboard box in a lattice at the top of the bookcase, opened it, and took out Bai Yiru's wooden box, "Put it well for you." The stuff inside is also there. ”

Bai Yiru opened the small wooden box, the silver badge was lying inside, and the stains in the cracks of the subtitles were also there.

"What's written on this badge?" Tong Xiaoxin looked at the letters on the badge, because they were broken, so he couldn't read them all, so he couldn't recognize them.

"I don't know. I look like German. Bai Yiru didn't know German before, but now that he does, he took the badge and looked at it carefully, but he still couldn't distinguish the words on it.

"I guess it's not a useful thing, I used to see this kind of badge a lot, and it was basically useless. It's just that your aunt left it to you, so you can just leave it there, the meaning is different. Tong Xiaoxin's attention shifted to other objects, picked up a head rope, the kind of red rope, and laughed, "Yiru, did we really use this kind of thing to tie our hair when we were children?" It's rustic! ”

"What foreign things could there be at that time? That's it. Bai Yiru twisted a red flower-style scalp band.

"Yes, yes, yes! At that time, whoever used this kind of rubber band to tie a pigtail was synonymous with fashion! Tong Xiaoxin remembered that when she was a child, she also used this flower, but it was yellow, and she didn't know where she went.

"Mom, what are you laughing at?" Gu Qixi pushed the door in and looked at Bai Yiru and Tong Xiaoxin curiously.

"Good stuff." Bai Yiru was still smiling.

"This is your treasure chest from your childhood?" Gu Dongning followed in and pointed to the box in Bai Yiru's hand.
