Chapter 229 The One Who Shared the Secret
Sitting on the side of the mountain village path, Lu Kaiwen had to greet the occasional passer-by warmly.
The fog that shrouded us in the morning has completely dissipated, and the mountains are fresh and beautiful. The stream below the slope of the road is full of murmuring notes, and the chirping of various birds in the mountains is faintly audible. Creeks, mountains. Birdsong, dog barking, and even the occasional cough are like a harmonious and vivid concerto.
If it weren't for the screeching engine sound from the cars passing by from time to time, Lu Kaiwen would really be intoxicated.
A string of firecrackers suddenly rang out, and Lu Kaiwen was shocked to wake up.
"What? I'm still not used to the sound of the New Year's guns here. Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the cannon will be fired early in the morning. The voice behind him rang out the moment when the cannon fire stopped.
"Grandma. It's really beautiful here. All the troubles are washed away in such an environment. It's okay just for a short time, but after a long time, it will feel monotonous and boring. Kevin Lu gave up his seat, and he spat out his heart to the old man.
"Yes, young people are out all year except for the Chinese New Year. Those who stayed in the mountains were old people and children. Why didn't you follow the girl to pay New Year's greetings? I guess she's going crazy again. The boys were afraid to drink with her. You seem to be staying here on purpose. Grandma looked at the young man in front of her with a smile.
"Grandma, that's true. We're leaving tomorrow. I want to take a good look at you. Take a good look at the grandmother who has been raising Su Qing for so many years. Thank you, Grandma. Lu Kaiwen met his grandmother's gaze, and his heart stirred.
"Kevin, I've been watching you. You seem to have something to say to me. If you're going to say that I'm going to entrust you with something, then don't say it to me, an old woman. I don't interfere in the affairs of you young people, as long as you like each other. I'm just reminding you that it's okay to love a girl, but you can't spoil her too much. This time she seems to be a different person, giving gifts everywhere and showing off everywhere. I don't know what's going on? But I guess it must have something to do with you. Don't blame me for the old lady nagging, my girl has never been such a girl. I was worried. The old man frowned slightly, his wrinkled forehead.
Kevin Lu laughed to himself.
"Grandma. I'm sorry. Worries you. You are Su Qing's only parent. Her strength is nurtured by you, and many of her strengths come from this mountain, from you and her father. She's strong, confident, resilient, she's not vulgar, she's independent. It's all you gave her. What can I, as a parent, give her? I really can't think of anything I can give her? So I can only spoil her. Grandma, didn't you notice? She's getting more and more like a girl. It's a girl's nature to show off. Dependence is also in the nature of girls. I just want to give her all the past that belongs to her, and hopefully everything will be in time. Lu Kaiwen has always had a faint bitterness.
The old man's eyes changed as he watched the young man, she was clearly infected.
There was a brief silence between the two people, which was more like a tacit understanding between the two people.
"Kevin, it's heartwarming to hear you talk about you like that. Parents? This is a proposal that interests me, and I am really relieved that you can put yourself in the position of a parent to treat her. It seems that there is no need for me to nag. The old man slowly stood up.
"Grandma, please be seated, I have something to tell you. In this world, I can only tell you about it. Kevin Lu also stood up.
There was a palpable look of astonishment on Grandma's face, and she believed she could see the hesitation and solemnity on the young man's face.
"Okay, tell me, what is it that makes you so serious as a parent." The old man's tone brought out lightness and encouragement.
"Grandma, I've been hesitating whether to tell you or not, but in the end, I still think I should tell you all that you are Su Qing's only parent and my only parent. Grandma, we are a real family in this world, and with your care, we live in happiness. Grandma, I'm really lucky because I have a grandma like you. Lu Kaiwen gradually sighed, and there was a hardship after emotion.
The old man's eyes changed again when he looked at the young man, and she felt the young man's sudden outburst of emotion.
Lu Kaiwen leaned forward slowly, knelt down slowly, and knelt down in front of the old man's knees.
The old man was completely stunned, and she was at a loss for a moment.
"Grandma, let me tell you a story to make us a real family. I'm really happy. Lu Kaiwen rested his head on the old man's knee, and he didn't dare to look the old man in the eye.
The old man was ready, ready to listen to an accident.
Su Qing jumped back to her home, bouncing to show off her achievements.
He became the star of the entire mountain village, brought back a handsome guy who made people envy and jealous, and drove a dazzling good car with a car full of gifts.
When he introduced this man to his sisters, the expressions on the faces of the sisters intoxicated Su Qing.
When I stuff a lot of money into every child, I am going crazy.
This kind of Spring Festival is the Spring Festival, and the feeling of being surrounded by people in the village is really fluttering.
This is how Su Qing spent six days of drifting and six days of stars holding the moon.
This year's artillery battles are more lively than in previous years, and almost all of them were donated by Su Qing. This is the Spring Festival for a girl.
Many young people in the village are considered to be Su Qing's students, and she has taken many classes for her father, but the respect she receives is not as fierce as it has been in the past few days.
This is how the goddess was born, in this isolated mountain village. Born in this simple mountain village.
The young man with his dazzling expatriate status has quickly been overlooked, he is too low-key, so low-key that he seems to be just a henchman of a girl. He gave the mountain people the impression that he was unproductive.
The simple mountain village has simple feelings, and the goddess who is high up makes people look up and makes people feel alienated, but the young man who has no interest quickly integrates into the mountain village.
Su Qingzhi proudly enjoyed this sense of alienation, at least no one dared to refuse whoever she let drink, and whoever she asked to shut up would not dare to bark again.
After pouring a circle of wine, Su Qing finally jumped back to her home.
"Grandma, I'm back. Isn't it time for us to change the environment, this home is too small, the lighting is not good, and the furniture is too old. Su Qing walked around the room with her hands behind her back, and the excitement had not faded.
"Okay, I'll take care of that. I asked Hu Qingyu to arrange it. Kevin Lu was by his side.
"Hurry up. Grandma, why don't you come with me to S City? If you don't like S City, we'll change cities. I'm taking you on a tour. The girl circled around her grandmother.
"I'm not going anywhere. Don't stay with me. Grandma can't stand you young people, and you can't stand me as an old lady. Follow Kevin. Grandma looked impatient.
"Grandma! I'm a family with you, what's the point of following him? I'm not a thing to escrow. Su Qing was coquettish.
"You say that now, why didn't you say that when you came with Kevin? Why don't you say that when you introduce people? Remember, since everyone in the village knows Kevin, you should follow Kevin in the future. Listen to him, his words are grandma's words. Following him all his life, people in our family can't be inattentive to their feelings. That's it. Kevin, take care of her as you want in the future, don't spoil her too much. The old man's face stiffened.
"Grandma. Why did you give me to him so quickly? Do you know him? Besides, that's too casual, right? I'll bring him back to let everyone help me take a look. He's still on probation. Grandma, can you be cautious? This is a serious matter. Su Qing was a little confused and a little aggrieved.
Such a change made the girl a little unwilling, and even more puzzled.
Kevin Lu shrugged his shoulders and said that he couldn't help.
"Well, since you want me to be serious. Come, all of you, sit down here. The old man sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall, and she beckoned.
Su Qing and Lu Kaiwen still sat down.
The old man looked at the two young people, and her mood became complicated for a moment.
Reaching out and grabbing the hands of each of the two men, the old man pressed the hands of the two young men firmly together.
The hands of the two young men clasped tightly together.
"From now on, we are family. Su Qing, I entrusted you to Kevin. You have to follow him all your life, take care of him, and love him. Kevin, you have to take care of her and pamper her in place of me and my father. If she's willful, you have to tolerate her. She has the personality of a boy, and sometimes she does things too naturally, and you have to take care of it. You live hard, life will not be sweet all the time, there will be bitterness and tears, think about today when there are contradictions. Think of the vows you made to help each other through the end of your life. Bless you all! The old man poured out his complex emotions slowly.
"Grandma, what is this? That's it? Is this your seriousness? This.. You're talking, what kind of ritual is this? Su Qing was a little confused, so she had to ask Lu Kaiwen for help.
"Hehe, this is the reception ceremony presided over by grandma. Grandma is very efficient. That's how a family should be. Grandma, we accept your blessings. From today on, Su Qing will be in charge of me. Our family must be happy. Waiting for us to come back and reunite with you. Lu Kaiwen looked relaxed and pious.
Su Qing observed back and forth between the old and the young, she was surprised and steady.
This is sudden happiness, and this kind of harmony is what I look forward to.
The only regret is that this scene came too easily and too suddenly.
Although she is no longer a girl, she has a spontaneous girlish mentality in her grandmother's place.
This state of mind came to an abrupt end. It ended succinctly and efficiently by my grandmother.
Despite being aggrieved and unwilling, Su Qing could feel the complexity in her grandmother's eyes.
That is a kind of reluctance, but also a kind of relief.
