Chapter 42: Returning Home 3
"Wow, Lanlan, your hometown is so beautiful, do you know what I smelled? The taste of the sea breeze, salty. "Don't you think it's fishy? "Fishy? How so. Salty, mixed with a faint floral fragrance, say good smell. As he spoke, Chen Qingqing didn't forget to take a deep breath. Ouyang Lan didn't know when she hated the air in her hometown, especially the fishy smell that filled the sky, which made her feel breathless in the sultry summer. Moreover, she does not like to eat fish. "Lan Lan, I heard that the people who live by the sea catch crabs and eat them when they are touched by seawater, will you catch crabs?" "No, it won't." "There is also a parasitic on the stones of the seaside, like an oyster, have you knocked it?" Ouyang Lan still shook her head. "I can't believe you're out of here. Do you know, Lan Lan, sometimes, I think you are a big girl, and you are raised in the boudoir. "Yes, since the accident, Ouyang Lan has been carefully cared for by the people around her, and her only task is to study hard. Leaving seems to have been her dream all along. The childhood of other peers was to go down to the sea to catch crabs and go up to the mountains to pick wild fruits, and she really had nothing left except to sit in front of the window and watch those crazy children. Since she was in elementary school, she was sent to a boarding school by her mother, so she didn't know those children in the village, she always felt that she was not in the same world as them, and perhaps, in their eyes, she was even more different.
At the moment when the two girls got off the bus, Ouyang Lan's mother was already waiting on the platform. "My little girl finally remembered to go home, let my mother take a good look, well, a little fat, it seems that she is doing well in City A." "Mom, can you stop saying I'm fat? Now it's popular to be thin or not. Ouyang Lan's mother smiled, she looked at Chen Qingqing who was standing behind, "This is your classmate." "Auntie, hello, my name is Chen Qingqing, just call me Qingqing." "Qingqing, thank you for taking care of our family Lanlan these days, this girl's temper is not good. By the way, after sitting in the car for so long, you are tired, hurry home, your Uncle Su knows that you are back, and you have been busy all day. ”
Soon arrived home, it is still the familiar single-family small western-style building, the countryside is this good, the house is always big, unlike the current urban house, the house price is so high that people look up. Su Qing heard the movement outside, and he didn't have time to take off his apron before he came out. "Lan Lan is back, hurry up and sit down and rest, eat some fruit first, it's all what you like, and you will be able to eat soon." "Uncle, just eat a little bit, don't be too busy. Got something for you, I don't know if you like it? "Look, our Lan Lan has grown up." After speaking, Su Qing also glanced proudly at Ouyang Lan's mother. In fact, Ouyang Lan is grateful to Su Qing, he has been a competent father all these years, but she has never been able to call the title of "Dad". What Ouyang Lan couldn't understand all the time was why Su Qing and her mother didn't want a child, a child with the blood of both of them, since she was sensible, she had always said that she wanted a younger brother or sister, but why, Su Qing didn't want to, he kept saying, "Lan Lan, it's enough for us to have a well-behaved daughter like you." However, everyone knew that she was not related to her by blood.
The dishes on the dinner table are all Ouyang Lan's favorites, and the man in front of her, who is not her father but is better than her father, really hurts her as her own. If it was originally because he lost his child and regarded Ouyang Lan as the sustenance of his feelings, then, more than ten years have passed, he has consistently paid, and no matter how emotionless people are, they will be moved. Therefore, those elders all said that Ouyang Lan was a hard-working child, who lost her father because she was too young, but she was also a lucky child, because Su Qing gave her all her fatherly love.
At night, Ouyang Lan and Chen Qingqing lay on 1. 8 meters on the big bed. "Lan Lan, isn't Uncle Su your father?" Ouyang Lan nodded. "And your dad?" "I died when I was very young." "Oh." "Why don't you ask him how he got there?" "If you want to say, you'll sue me." "Qingqing, it's too late today, let's go to bed early. I'll go to my father's grave tomorrow, and you'll come with me, right? "Okay, no problem." Chen Qingqing knew that tomorrow, the mystery in his mind would be solved. The calm and rational girl sleeping next to her turned out to have a past that outsiders didn't know
