Chapter 19: A Sleepy Dream (23)
The tarmac was set up with a pergola for the welcoming ceremony, and the decoration was simple and decent, and with the addition of separate honor guards, the scene was grand.
Jingyi stood with Tao Xiang, looking at Tao Shengchuan and his wife in front of herβthey had specially prepared seats under the pergola, and they could rest for a while while the plane landedβand Mrs. Tao was beside her husband, looking at him from time to time...... Her gaze is gentle and calm, but also deeply caring.
Tao Xiang saw that Jingyi didn't say a word, and looked directly at his parents, and couldn't help but wonder. Jingyi's reaction in the past two days was quite abnormal. It's just that he didn't bother to ask, and he saw the tower send a signal that the ambassador's special plane would arrive soon.
Waiting for the plane to stop at the specified position, the ambassador and his entourage came out of the cabin, and it took a long time.
It was nearly noon and the weather was quite hot.
Jingyi found that her in-laws were already tired, especially her mother-in-law, who had always been healthy, and her face was a little worse at this time, and her sideburns were soaked with sweat, so she couldn't help but worry. She walked a few quick steps and quietly crossed Tao Xiang.
Tao Xiang was surprised. Jingyi is obviously not in line with etiquette like this. He immediately saw Jingyi step forward and hugged his mother, and immediately understood. He also stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Where is Mother uncomfortable?" β
Mrs. Tao happened to be flustered for a while, and was supported by Jingyi and Tao Xiang, and it took a while to return to normal. Tao Shengchuan asked someone to send her to the car to rest first. She insisted, saying, "Just for a while, it's over." The ambassador has already disembarked from the plane, so keep quiet. Da"
Tao Shengchuan looked up and saw that the ambassador and his wife had indeed walked down the gangway, he stretched out his hand to hold his wife, and whispered to Jingyi: "Take care of your mother." β
Jingyi nodded.
Tao Shengchuan turned around and stood straight, with a smile on his face. When the ambassador walked up to him, he reached out and shook hands with him, while turning his eyes to look at Tao Xiang. Tao Xiang smiled and went over to stand beside his father and act as his translator.
Jingyi still helped her mother-in-law and stood firmly beside them. She had already seen the ambassador's wife followed by her cousin-in-law Jin Biquan and her second cousin Zhao Wufang. Flawless was dressed in a white dress, and he was in the same place as the ambassador's wife, dressed in the same way. When she saw Jingyi, she raised her hand to lift the veil hanging from the brim of her hat and smiled at her. Jing Yi also smiled at her, and at the same time explained in a low voice in Mrs. Tao's ear: "With Mrs. Ambassador is my second cousin, Mrs. Jin. β
Mrs. Tao looked over and nodded.
Jingyi accompanied Mrs. Tao and was introduced to the ambassador and his wife in turn.
The ambassador brought an interpreter with him, but Tao Xiang and Jin Biquan's French were very good, and the translator regressed at this time.
Taking advantage of the ambassador's greetings with Tao Shengchuan and his wife, he came over flawlessly, and didn't speak at all, so he hugged Jingyi in his arms, patted her, and looked at Tao Xiang.
Tao Xiang heard Wufang ask him on the side: "Sure enough, whatever the letter says is coaxing us, where is the fat?" Muzhi, since our little ten married you, we no longer have the fleshy face before marriage. Do you admit it or not? β
Tao Xiao followed and looked at Jingyi, her face was indeed a little less mellow when she was a girl, but she said: "Second cousin has worked hard all the way, please come here." β
"Second cousin, get in the car." Jing Yi urged flawlessly.
Bi Quan stood down and looked at Jing Yi, but said to Tao Xiang: "She finally saw Jing Yi, and if she didn't let her say enough, she must not follow." β
Flawless glared at Biquan.
Biquan signaled that the ambassador and his wife and Tao Shengchuan and his wife in front of him had already walked in front, asked them to hurry up, and said, "Talk while walking." β
"Okay." Flawless rubbed Jingyi's short hair and said with a smile: "This look is really playful and cute." It doesn't look much like the one in the newspaper. We stared at the newspaper every day, scared. It was easy to see the news that you were safe, and then I fell asleep steadily...... Biquan happened to go to Paris at that time, and he didn't know the situation in China. When I came back and heard about it, I was scared too. This time, he accompanied the ambassador and his wife on the visit, and I offered to come with him, and he agreed. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I panicked. β
Flawless and Jingyi walked together, talking as they walked. Jingyi asked about the children. Wufang said that before coming out this time, he specially sent a pair of children to Nanjing Wuji, "The third brother and third sister-in-law also have letters and gifts for you." Turn around and send people home. β
Flawless spoke, and looked at Jingyi carefully. Jingyi was a little embarrassed by her, and hurriedly pushed her into the car......
Back in the city, the ambassador and his wife were arranged to stay in a separate business of the Tao family in Dongcheng. Jin Biquan and his wife accompanied him and stayed here. Tao Shengchuan immediately set up a banquet in other industries to entertain, the guests and hosts talked very happily, and the banquet was over, Tao Shengchuan and his wife invited them to rest, and took their son and daughter-in-law to leave.
Tao Xiang and Jingyi also had to visit Dunhuang, and only went to the Northwest Military Hospital after saying goodbye to their parents in Beiye.
Although Jingyi has only been to the military hospital once, she remembers the environment here very clearly. The car stopped directly in front of the special ward building, Jingyi got out of the car, and walked in front of Tao Xiang. She remembered that Tao Xiang had said that the ward in Dunhuang was No. 222...... As I walked, I looked for the house number. Tao Xiang walked behind her, watching her walk hurriedly to the innermost ward on the second floor.
Jingyi stood down halfway through, looked back at Tao Xiang and urged him to hurry up.
Tao Xiang stepped forward, frowned at her, and asked, "So anxious?" β
Jing Yi looked at him and thought to himself that he shouldn't have known what was going on at home, right? There was nothing unusual in his expression...... When the gunshots rang out last night, he calmly seemed to hear two broken glasses. Thinking about it, he was afraid that he was used to hearing the sound of gunfire; The Tao family entered the courtyard of the deep house dozens of times, and the sound of this place spread to that place, even if it was the sound of gunshots, layers of obstacles were blocked, and it was like a drop of water flowing into a river. Don't say you don't study it carefully, study it carefully...... What can we do?
The potter is like a furnace, no matter if you are a piece of copper, a piece of iron, even if it is gold, if you throw it in, it will immediately melt into pulp...... She clenched her handbag tightly.
"Huh?" Tao Xiang saw that Jingyi looked at him, but he didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't make a sound, and he couldn't help asking.
Jingyi had the heart to ask him what he had already inquired about when he got up in the morning, and told him that she wanted to go home early after visiting Dunhuang at this time. The old grandmother told her to take Qilin'er for a few days, and I don't know if Qilin has been sent to their residence...... But she suddenly felt clumsy, how could she say these things clearly in a hurry.
"I'll talk to you when I get back...... I went to explore Dunhuang first. She took Tao Xiang's arm and said.
Tao Xiang looked down at the hand she had placed on her arm.
Her hands trembled a little. When he looked closely, the expression on her face was a little stiff.
When he arrived at the door of the ward, Tao Xiang knocked on the door, and it was Ma Xingjian who came to open the door.
Jingyi hadn't seen Ma Xingjian for many days, and when she saw him here, she realized that Tao Xiang thought that he had arranged for him to be responsible for the safety of Dunhuang--he was really well taken care of and thoughtful to a certain extent. Ma Xingjian is Tao Xiang's close attendant...... She had never known Tao Xiang, and rarely saw the pony leave Tao Xiang.
Ma Xingjian invited them in, but there was no one in the ward.
"What about people?" Tao Xiang asked.
Jingyi looked at the furnishings in the ward, there is everything for daily use, and it should be very convenient to live here.
"It's all in there." Ma Xingjian hurriedly replied.
Jingyi turned around, only to see that this was just one of the suites.
Tao Xiang was beside her, watching her eyes roll around, paying attention to the magazines and Japanese books on the coffee table...... Jing Yi saw that he was looking at him in a blink of an eye, and asked softly, "There are still other people living in this ward?" β
Tao Xiang motioned for her to wait. Jing Yi looked at his appearance and couldn't help but be even more suspicious.
Tao Xiang instructed the pony to invite Dunhuang to come out, "Just say we're here." β
As they spoke, Tu Huyi had already put everything he had brought on the coffee table.
Ma Xingjian hadn't opened the door yet, and the people inside had obviously heard the movement outside and opened the door. When Jing Yi looked, he saw Xiao Dunhuang standing at the door of the ward, and he didn't speak, but looked at them with a slight smile - Xiao Dunhuang didn't look unusual, but his face was red and full of energy, I don't know if he was well raised in the hospital, compared to when he was separated in Hami, although he was dark, he was also fat and strong-Jing Yi sighed, frowned and asked, "Save yourself, why are you so good?" Makiyuki said you were injured, I thought it was serious......"
She took two steps forward and stood down to look at Dunhuang.
Xiao Dunhuang looked at her in confusion and looked herself up and down - her appearance had changed a lot, her hair that had been cut short was permed again, and the hairband was tied, like a middle school girl skipping class...... Tao Xiang, who was behind her, also looked at her silently.
Xiao Dunhuang came over, shook hands with Tao Xiang with a smile, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Tao, I am so good, you should feel lucky, why do you seem to be very disappointed?" Could it be that if you think about it, I am tied to the bed with a bandage? I had a gunshot wound and was almost fine and ready to be discharged from the hospital. β
He pointed to his waist and abdomen. The shirt was brushed by his hand, and sure enough, the traces of bandage entanglement could be seen.
Jing Yi listened to his explanation and made sure that he was indeed fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since this is the case, why bother to come and be hospitalized...... " She said and suddenly paused. glanced at Dunhuang, and then looked at Tao Xiang, "Is it ......?"
Xiao Dunhuang smiled, pouted at Tao Xiang, and said, "I said I couldn't hide it from her." β
