Five years later.

Every year on Grandma Gu's sacrifice day, Yanran and Xuanmu will return to the town to worship.

The town is still beautiful, and the outside world is changing with each passing day, but here it seems to have been pressed the pause button, everything is so simple and quiet, like a long scroll of ink and blue, like the last peach orchard in this world, every time you return here, Yanran's mood will be soft and comfortable.

After worshipping their grandmother on this day, Xuanmu and Yanran walked alone on the country road, the sun shining through the dense leaves, sprinkling dappled light and shadow, shining on them.

Their fingers were clasped together, and although they were silent, they were natural and tacit.

The arrival of the three little ones made the Nangong family and the Lin family very lively, and it often made Yanran busy and dizzy, and Weng Weng rang in her ears.

Especially when the children reach this age, they all say that 5-year-old children are suspicious of dogs, and there are three of them at home at once, no, counting the older children who are holding her hand, a total of four, it is really enough for her to be busy from morning to night.

When the children turned two, Xuanmu moved to an ordinary apartment with Yanran and their three children.

Xuanmu said that he didn't want his children to grow up in a place that was too luxurious, and he wanted to give them the most ordinary and healthy environment, but in fact, it was not so much for the children, but for Yanran.

As long as Yanran lives in the Nangong Mansion, with her kind of character, even if Tian Xinyu lets her rest, she will take the initiative to take on the responsibilities of the future clan wife, manage the huge mansion, and take care of three children, and she has just given birth, Xuanmu doesn't want the surrounding environment to bring her too much pressure, let alone watch her live so hard.

Once, Yanran told him that what she wanted was actually not much, a house that was not big or small, the location did not need to be too good, and the environment did not need to be first-class, just like the most ordinary and ordinary couples in all ordinary communities, living an ordinary life of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

He has always understood and understood that his Yan'er only wants to live the most ordinary life.

In Xuan Mu's eyes, no matter how Yanran's identity changes, she has always been the most simple girl.

Such a person is not suitable for taking care of the huge mansion as the patriarch of the Nangong family, busy with socializing and socializing, learning how to be a good patriarch, and she doesn't want to see that one day Yanran will finally be trained to become a standard upper-class lady, who is transparent and smooth enough, but has lost her nature.

He and Yanran have experienced so much suffering together, even in the most difficult times, he is unwilling to let go, because he firmly believes that he is the only person in this world who can give Yanran a happy life, instead of selfishly tying her to him, watching her sacrifice everything for him, suddenly changed his original appearance.

Leaving the Nangong Mansion with three children and living in an extremely ordinary community in the city, there is no nanny, nursery teacher and housekeeping maids, and Xuanmu and Yanran are fully responsible for taking care of the three children, at first, both the Lin family and the Nangong family were opposed.

But even in the midst of such strong opposition, Xuanmu still insisted on communicating with the elders about taking the children out to live, hoping to get their consent.

Knowing the concerns of the elders, Xuanmu did his homework, step by step, and after a long 3 months of persuasion, the elders finally agreed to let them live outside for a while, but if they found out that the couple had not taken good care of their three children, they would immediately let them come back.

In fact, the parents of the two parents were really reluctant to have children, but they couldn't bear Xuanmu's strong will, so they made such a decision.

I thought that they would not last long, but they didn't expect that three years had passed in a blink of an eye, a family of five had a happy life, and the three children had also been educated to be well-behaved and polite.

Every morning, Yanran and Xuanmu would get up early, Yanran would cook a nutritious and healthy breakfast, and Xuanmu would wake up every child one by one in the most gentle and sweet way.

The idea is to kiss the children's cheeks, tickle them, make them laugh and get out of bed, and then take them to line up, wash their faces, brush their teeth, and go for a half-hour morning run around the neighborhood.

When I got home, I had a delicious and healthy breakfast, and the family gathered around the table to eat happily.

After breakfast, Xuanmu will send the children to kindergarten and then go to the company, and every time before going out, Yanran will kiss their faces one by one to express her love.

Sending off her husband at work and the children going to kindergarten, Yanran will clean the house, do the laundry, hurry to the supermarket to buy the freshest ingredients to prepare the family's dinner, and then go to the kindergarten to pick up the children at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

For Xuanmu, the happiest moment of the day is when he comes home after a tiring day, opens the door of the house, and the three children will rush to him, scrambling to hug him and kiss him.

Although there are three naughty ghosts, the house is kept clean and tidy by Yanran at any time, the kitchen is Yanran's busy figure, and the smell of food makes people's mouths water.

Different from the education of the Nangong family and the Lin family, at home, children can share the interesting things that happened in the day with their families during dinner.

Children are allowed to watch TV for 1 hour a day, but with a reasonable allocation of who should take the turn to control the remote control, with rules and regulations, the friction between the children is constantly reduced, and the relationship is getting better and better.

After eating the fruit and brushing their teeth, Xuanmu and Yanran will take care of the children to take a bath, ensure that the children lie in bed at nine o'clock in the evening, turn off the lights and tell them bedtime stories, and when they are all asleep, there is only a little time left for the two of them.

On Saturdays and Sundays, the family of five would return to the Nangong Mansion on time to spend the weekend with the elders.

Although it is hard, although there will be many times when they are anxious and ready to deal with the emergencies of the three bear children, they still love such a simple and peaceful life.

The sun is warm, the breeze is gentle, and the dappled light and shadow make the two people walking hand in hand are extremely beautiful and harmonious.

"Next year they will finally go to school and we will finally be liberated!" Xuanmu took Yanran's hand and raised it slightly, just like a long, long time ago.

"If you don't come, you won't believe that you don't want them." Yanran said that next year, the children will be sent to Nanhua College to start living in a dormitory, and they can only go home every Friday.

"Naturally, I want to, but I'm also a little looking forward to our two-person world." Xuanmu smiled charmingly, lowered his head and kissed Yan Ran's lips, and was immediately stopped by Yan Ran, although this is a country road, but occasionally there will be villagers passing by, which is not shameful enough if it is seen.

"What's wrong? We are a legal couple who have received a certificate, and we have three children, so what if we are seen. Xuanmu said with some indignation, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, when they were still students, his biggest dream was to marry Yanran one day, so that he could hug him as much as he wanted, kiss him whenever he wanted, and no longer have to be sneaky.

Yan Ran's face was slightly red, and she really wanted to be able to drag Xuanmu to disappear from here quickly, so that this person would have to change the way to raise the bar with her.

"Huh...... You, you're Yanran, Gu Yanran, right! A mellow woman looked at Yanran in surprise, as if she couldn't believe that the person in front of her was Yanran.

"Yes, you are?" Yan Ran really didn't remember that she knew this person, but she could feel it in her eyes, at least this person knew her.

"Me! Peng Mei, don't you know? We have a class, Yutan Middle School, the third and fifth classes of junior high school. Peng Mei said excitedly.

"Oh~~~" Yanran Oh for a long time, I really didn't think about it, they all said that she was stupid for three years when she was pregnant, and she gave birth to three at once, so it is estimated that she will be stupid for nine years.

But at that time, Yanran was not good at talking, she was very introverted, she studied all day long, and rarely paid attention to things other than studying, and there were not a few classmates in the class who had not said a word in junior high school for three years, so she naturally had no impression of Peng Mei.

Peng Mei held Yan Ran's hand and was excited for a long time, like an old friend who had been reunited for a long time, which made Yan Ran a little overwhelmed.

At the reunion of old classmates, Peng Mei wanted Yanran to come and attend, saying that many classmates in the class wanted to meet her, especially her husband.

Yan Ran was stunned, not knowing how to answer, and Xuan Mu's face next to him was dark.

So a week later, Xuanmu had to personally send Yanran over, and then found various reasons to go to the meeting place, and then sat next to her and made up his mind not to leave.

Although there are not many memories and impressions of the students of Yutan Middle School, for the students of Yutan Middle School, they all recognize Yanran, and they are very surprised when they see Yan.

It's no wonder that this is the case, many years ago, there were rumors that Yan Ran died in her third year of high school, which is why Peng Mei was so excited and surprised to see Yan again.

After a few glasses of wine, the original awkward atmosphere disappeared, and most of the old classmates got married and had children, and began to chat in pairs and reminisce about their junior high school careers.

So when it comes to such a memory, it is impossible not to mention Yanran.

"I'm not ashamed, I actually had a crush on Gu Yanran at that time, and secretly engraved my name on her desk, you definitely don't remember, right?" An old classmate drank and spat out the truth, causing a burst of laughter.

"It's strange to remember you, at that time, Yanran was the pride of our feather tan, she was good-looking, she studied well, which boy didn't have a crush on her, how old are you?" Another boy quipped, causing everyone to laugh, although the words were ugly, but there was no malice, just to liven up the atmosphere.

Yan Ran looked at Xuanmu with some embarrassment, Xuanmu's expression was calm, he was not shocked, and he couldn't see the reason in the end.

While everyone was joking, Peng Mei dragged a tall black man straight to Yanran, and then raised her glass and said, "Yanran, come, I'll pay tribute to you, I'll do whatever you want." He drank a glass of liquor to the ground.

Then he pushed the man who was a little embarrassed and awkward next to him with his elbow and smiled: "Hurry up, I've seen your first love, and you don't plan to drink one with others." Don't blame me for not reminding you, there won't be this shop after this village~"

The man smiled at Yanran a little embarrassed and said, "Nei, don't mind, she drank too much, just kidding." ”

"Why are you kidding, you liked Yanran so much when you were in junior high school, don't you have people's names engraved on your arm now......" Peng Mei was covered by the man before she finished speaking, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Don't mind, don't mind, she drank too much and got tall!" Nonsense. Then he took Peng Mei away.

As he walked, he muttered: "Are you stupid, this is all about the Year of the Monkey, the children are in their teens this year, and you are embarrassed to mention it, your heart and eyes are like a needle nose." Let's go, can't I burn these words with a cigarette butt now? Then engrave the two words "Boss" on the back: Peng Mei! Are you satisfied? ”

Yan Ran was dumbfounded, and some didn't understand the situation.

Until the end of the party, someone mentioned that at the class meeting of the junior high school graduation that year, their class and the classmates next door got together, and Wang Yu, the study committee member of the class next door, also confessed to Yanran.

Yan Ran suddenly realized, it was Peng Mei...... It was the girl who was crying and making a fuss at the class lunch, and the boy who beat her...... Is Peng Mei's current husband?

Fate is really wonderful, as if many things have already been predestined in the dark.

The corners of Yanran's mouth raised a smile, looking at the quiet and quaint town shrouded in night, and the stars sprinkled over the town.

suddenly remembered that night many years ago, with childish faces, shouting into the night sky: "Gu Yanran, I like you!" ”

It turned out that she had always been a blessed child.
