The pouring rain continued, and when He Cheng and Zu Lan finally returned to the village, the heavy rain still did not stop, so it was okay, under the cover of the heavy rain, no one noticed their embarrassment, or more precisely, no one saw them at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He Cheng slapped the courtyard door hard, his pale face was full of confusion, his head was also drenched by the rain, and his hand was just mechanically beating the courtyard door.

"You light, I'm afraid that others won't know." Zu Lan wiped the rain from his face and reminded softly.

He Cheng Mu nodded, then he was silent, there was a sound of rustling in the yard, and through the crack in the door, he saw that the old lady was coming to open the door with a flashlight and an umbrella.

"Is it Xiao Cheng and Lan Lan?"

He Cheng's face was pale, and he didn't answer the question inside, Zu Lan glanced at him and hurriedly replied: "Grandma, we are back, you open the door." ”

Answering from inside, the old lady opened the door, and when she saw Zu Lan and He Cheng looking embarrassed, the old lady looked stunned, glanced at the two meaningfully, got out of the way, and beckoned the two into the house.

As he closed the door, he said, "Hurry up and change your clothes, don't freeze and get cold." ”

The old lady's tone was not unusual, Zu Lan knew that they couldn't hide the old lady's eyes, so she didn't explain too much, and hurried back to the house to change clothes.

Zu Lan took a hot bath, changed his clothes, and found that He Cheng was still standing in the house stupidly, and his clothes were still dripping down, knowing that He Cheng had not recovered a little now, so he comforted him a few words in his ear.

He regret is now in turmoil, and he feels that many things are not clear, but he also knows that it is useless to think blindly now. sighed and took a shower and changed clothes.

When He Cheng came out of the bathroom, the old lady came in with two bowls of ginger soup, "It's easy to get sick when it's raining." Hurry up and drink some ginger soup to ward off the cold. ”

He Cheng and Zu Lan came back in embarrassment, and the two of them didn't believe that the old lady couldn't see anything. But the old lady pretended not to know anything, and she didn't ask much, which made He Cheng and Zu Lan a little unexpected, and they didn't know what to say when they took the ginger soup, and their expressions were a little embarrassed.

"You both have a cold tonight, go to bed early, I'm sleepy too." The old lady got up and left as she spoke.

"Grandma ......" Seeing that the old lady was leaving, He regretted that he couldn't sit still, but he didn't know what to ask when he stood up.

"Don't ask anything. Don't say anything, get a good night's sleep, and talk about it tomorrow. The old lady made a downward gesture to He Cheng and said calmly, and walked out of the room after speaking.

He regretted looking at the back of the old lady leaving, only to feel that her eyes were sour, and her eye circles were red unconsciously.

"Don't think about anything, the old lady probably knows, sleep well, grandma should give you the answer you want tomorrow." Zu Lan walked over and patted He regret's shoulder, and said comfortingly.

Zu Lan had come into contact with many secrets of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion. She has a general understanding of the affairs of each family, so in fact, she admires the old lady from her heart, a woman who has carried this family for decades without regrets. Gritting his teeth and insisting on waiting for He Jiu to come back, Zu Lan was even sure that the old lady was not sure if He Jiu was really alive until now.

"I just felt a little uncomfortable. You know, I haven't seen my grandfather since I was a kid. My dad and uncle have been looking for him for more than 20 years, and you say why don't you come home and see if he's still alive? He Cheng looked at Zu Lan in a daze, and said with a little choked up. He felt very uncomfortable.

"He must have a reason for not going home, I know you are distressed by grandma, but grandpa must not be comfortable for more than 20 years, okay, okay, don't think about anything, sleep and take care of it slowly tomorrow." Zu Lan has never persuaded anyone, and he can't say too many comforting words, and after saying a few words, he doesn't know what else to say.

He Cheng nodded, lying on the bed but couldn't sleep at all, Zu Lan was the same, and the sound of rain outside the window continued.

The old lady in the next room took out a yellowed photograph of a young couple with their two children smiling brightly, the corners of the old lady's mouth were raised, and she was smiling but shedding tears.

It's been more than twenty years, and I know you're alive, and I know you've come to see me, but why can't you let me see you?

Thinking about it, the old lady's tears were like beads with broken threads, and she couldn't stop at all.

At the beginning of the sunny day after the rain, the air with the fragrance of the earth was exceptionally fresh, when He Cheng and Zu Lan got up, the old lady was already busy in the kitchen, He Cheng moved a stool and sat in the small courtyard looking at the chic scene in the small courtyard after the rain, and it was rare to feel a little calm in his heart, Zu Lan was embarrassed to go to the kitchen to help the old lady.

After a while, there was a burst of vegetable fragrance in the kitchen, He regretted sniffing and walked to the kitchen door to probe in, and said with a smile: "Grandma, what do you do early in the morning, my saliva is almost gone." ”

"Look at your greed, go out, the kitchen is a place where men enter, clean up the table, and get ready to eat."

"Okay......"

Breakfast was particularly sumptuous, the three of them ate in laughter for more than an hour, Zu Lan talked about some interesting experiences she had abroad, and He regretted not to be outdone, and shook out all the troubles in the university dormitory, which made the old lady laugh constantly......

The three of them seemed to have forgotten last night's conversation, trying to make these laughter last longer, Zu Lan and He Cheng were talking about all kinds of interesting things, and the old lady was smiling very happily, her face was full of peace, and her eyes were loving......

It was precisely because of this that Zu Lan and He Cheng didn't want to ask the old lady about the things that would make her miserable, but their faces slowly stiffened when they said that later.

"You two little hairy monkeys, make grandma so happy, then grandma will be generous, if there is anything you want to know, just ask, I will go to play mahjong after asking." The old lady suddenly interrupted the two who were trying their best to perform, and said with a smile.

"Grandma, if we don't discuss these things today, let's go to the streets......"

"He family boy, don't be such a mother-in-law!" The old lady glared at He Cheng and interrupted He Cheng's words.

He regretted his teeth, and suddenly regretted his recklessness.

"Grandma, you talk to He Cheng, I'll clean up the dishes and chopsticks." Zu Lan glanced at He Repentance, smiled apologetically at her grandmother, and went to clean up the dishes and bowls on the table, preparing to leave the space for this pair of grandchildren.

"Xiaolan, don't move, it's all your own family, there's nothing you can't listen to, you sit down." The old lady took Zu Lan by the hand, nodded to her, and motioned for her to sit down.

Zu Lan sat on the chair obediently, and a sour feeling rose in her heart.

"Grandma, I'm older now, I've been doing business with my uncle in Taiyuan for a while, and I've learned a little about some things at home, and my family is ...... Can you tell me about the past......" He Cheng carefully grasped the wording of his words, and did not dare to look at the old lady after speaking.

"Of course you should know about the family, you want to ask your grandfather about it." (To be continued.) )
