The Lingwaiyin book is broken, and the winter is repeated in spring;

The hometown is even more timid, and he doesn't dare to ask anyone.

In the Han River in front of the village, the water is still as clear as a mirror, but the trees by the river have grown taller and stronger, and there are traces of pruning due to too many branches.

When winter turns to spring, and the annual season is reincarnated for a week, the tree will be reborn into a new circle of annual rings;

And when the beating and fresh heart that touches life, after the vicissitudes of time and the joys and sorrows between people, it will slowly become mature and gradually become old, which is another kind of reincarnation, which is the reincarnation of the heart.

The willow branches in front of the storage house have long been hanging down to the lotus pond, and there are still ripples in the gap between the remnants of the small lotus pond.

Chu Ning stopped, looked at the tight tooth buds on the willow branches, and sighed at the strength of life.

It was already the middle of winter, and there was a feeling that Wanlu was about to recover, but her heart was still tightly tied to the ancient city of Rome, and she didn't feel any joy at all.

"Son--" Suddenly hearing a mournful shout, Chu Ning turned his head timidly, and then saw his mother trotting towards the lotus pond with somewhat messy steps.

"Mom--"

……

Chu Ning helped Chu Tianxing and his wife to stand together, then stepped back, and then knelt straight on the cold floor.

"Dad, Mom, my daughter has come back to excuse you."

"It's good to be back! It's good to be back! Chu Tianxing burst into tears in an instant, he stepped forward to help Chu Ning up from the ground, wiped his tears at once, and wiped his daughter's tears at once.

"Dad, you and your mother have suffered in the past few years." Chu Ning turned to Ye Mei again.

"Chu Ning, I'm finally home, my mother finally saw you go home." Ye Mei still couldn't believe that her daughter, who had been away from home for five years, finally returned home.

"Mom, yes! I'm finally home! Chu Ning took Ye Mei's hand again, put it on her face and stroked it.

"Smack--" A crisp sound passed over his cheeks.

"Ye Mei--" Chu Tianxing wanted to stop it too late.

"Your father has been used to you since he was a child, and he has never been willing to beat you, let me be this bad guy today, you said that you will be gone for five years, you are really ruthless, you actually left our two old things like this for five years, if it weren't for Yu Hao to find you, would you not be ready to go home for the rest of your life?" Ye Mei couldn't cry anymore, "Why are you so ruthless, why are you so ruthless?" ”

"Mom, I'm sorry for you! You can beat me however you want. Chu Ning grabbed Ye Mei's hand again and slapped him in the face.

Ye Mei looked at Chu Ning's somewhat red and swollen face, and her eyes were suddenly full of remorse, thinking that her daughter had finally gone home, and it had been less than five minutes since the reunion, and she actually gave her an ear scraper.

Anger and guilt were intertwined in Ye Mei's heart, and she was at a loss for a while, so she had to hide her face and leave.

"Mom--" Chu Ning wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Chu Tianxing.

"You came back suddenly, your mother must not have adapted yet, that's why she is so excited, you must not blame her."

"Dad, how can I blame Mom!" Chu Ning turned around and stared at Chu Tianxing, "You are also old, when I left, your hair was still black, and now it is gray." ”

"Yes! Mom and Dad are already old, and of course their hair will be gray. Chu Tianxing nodded, and led Chu Ning to sit down on the sofa, "Yu Hao came back with you, right?" Where is he? ”

"Brother Yuhao, he--" Chu Ning turned pale, not knowing how to explain Lin Yuhao's whereabouts to Chu Tianxing.

"That's right! He said he would come back with you. Chu Tianxing saw that Chu Ning's eyes flickered a little, so he became anxious, "Where are the others now?" ”

"Dad, Brother Yuhao still has some things to deal with, and he may have to come back later."

"There's something to deal with, and he's not familiar with Rome, so even if there's something to deal with, you'll wait for him to come back with you, right? Why did you come back first? Chu Tianxing continued to ask.

"Dad, I'm very confused and tired now, can you wait a little longer and ask me about Brother Yuhao?"

"Okay, okay, Dad won't force you, let's talk about it when you want to talk about it! Then Dad will accompany you back to your room to rest, okay? Chu Tianxing saw that his daughter's expression was wrong, as if he was about to cry, and hurriedly comforted him.

"Okay, but Daddy, my room?"

"Don't worry, your mother has kept your room tidy, and after receiving Yu Hao's call, she washed it inside and out, cleaning it up every day, no, it has come in handy."

Returning to the room where he had lived for more than 20 years, as if in a dream, Chu Ning unveiled the tassel hijab of the guzheng that had been with him for many years, and then stroked the strings on the zither one by one.

"Dad helped you loosen the strings, but every once in a while, there is maintenance, so it is kept in good condition." Storing the sky.

"Thank you, Dad." Chu Ning turned around and gave Chu Tianxing a sour smile.

"Come, lie down and rest for a while, presumably your mother is already getting you food." Chu Tianxing hugged Chu Ning to the bedside again.

"Dad, I want to go to the back of the village to have a look, is that okay?"

"Let's wait two days! I see that you look tired, so you might as well rest for two days first. Before I go, I'll go to the city and order two bouquets of flowers to come back, and you can take them to their graves together!" "Chu Tianxingdao.

"It's good! You can't look at them with exhaustion. Chu Ning nodded.

"Chu Ning, I have already discussed with your mother, as soon as Yu Hao comes home, my parents will arrange marriage for you as soon as possible, and before getting married, you can also go to Jiangcheng with Yu Hao to live," Chu Tianxing cautiously stated his and Ye Mei's position, "From now on, what kind of life you need, your parents will never interfere again." ”

"Thank you, Dad!" Chu Ning gently stroked his abdomen, and said to Chu Tianxing with a little shame: "Dad, I still have something to tell you. ”

"Say, Daddy, listen."

"I'm pregnant with Brother Yuhao's child now, almost two months."

"You--" Chu Tianxing was surprised at first, and after a few seconds, he waved his hand again and said, "That's it, that's it, as long as you are all safe, Dad has nothing to say." ”

"Dad, Brother Yuhao, I don't know how he's doing now?" Only then did Chu Ning make up her mind, and she told Chu Tianxing about everything she had been in Rome in the past two months.

"That is, all three of them are still in Rome, and it is very likely that their lives and deaths are uncertain?" After listening to Chu Ning's narration, Chu Tianxing sighed for a while, feeling a little sorry for Lan Chixuan, the child, and even more worried about Lin Yuhao, Fang Weinan and Xiao Zhe.

"Dad, I know I shouldn't have left them, but I selfishly came back first."

"No, you're doing the right thing, and if you don't come back first, they'll be afraid of you." Chu Tianxing got up and paced anxiously around the room, "Is there any way to get their news?" Like the people who escorted you back? ”

"It's useless, they sent me to City Y and left in a hurry, and along the way, no matter how much I asked, they didn't want to say a word to me at all."

"Don't worry, I'll go to Jiangcheng tomorrow and look for your Teacher Jiang."

"Teacher Jiang? By the way, there is also Sister Xiaoxuan, I can find Sister Xiaoxuan, Dad, can you lend me your mobile phone to call? ”

"Okay--, take it, don't worry!" Chu Tianxing took out his mobile phone and handed it to Chu Ning, and comforted her distressedly.

"How? Doesn't it work? Chu Tianxing watched Chu Ning dial the number several times, but it didn't connect, so he asked anxiously.

"No one answers, Dad, I'll look for Teacher Jiang again!"

Chu Ning dialed Wu Yang's number again, and then transferred from the front desk to Jiang Xu's office, but it was an older voice who answered the phone.

"Hello, teacher! I want to find Mr. Jiang Xu. Chu Ning asked like grasping a life-saving straw.

"Teacher Jiang! He is on leave and may not return to China until a few years later. ”

"On vacation? Can you tell me how long Mr. Jiang is on vacation? ”

"It's been more than half a month! I heard that something happened to my family, so I took a long vacation and went back to Italy to deal with it, I am a substitute teacher for him temporarily, do you have any academic questions with me, hey, hey--, are you listening? ”

"I'm sorry! I have some personal matters with Mr. Jiang, so I'd better wait for him to come back! Thank you, don't bother you. After Chu Ning finished speaking into the microphone in disappointment, he hung up the phone.

"What's wrong? Isn't Mr. Jiang here either? ”

"Dad, Mr. Jiang has been back to Rome for more than half a month, presumably he went back because of my business, and I don't know if he and Brother Yuhao are together, will the Lan family be angry with them because of me, Dad, what should I do, I feel like I'm going crazy."

"Good daughter, don't worry, doesn't it mean that there is no news, it is the best news?"

"Dad was right! Then I'll wait and see. Chu Ning nodded helplessly.

"That's good--"

Early the next morning, Chu Tianxing went to the city to buy all the things needed for worship, and while carrying the things for worship, he carefully supported Chu Ning through the evergreen forest and pine and cypress.

Looking at the desolate cemetery, Chu Ning suddenly felt a little discouraged, she slowed down, hugged Bai Ju tightly, closed her eyes, and recalled the familiar feeling in her memory.

She has walked this road countless times, but it was different at that time, when she came with her parents and the Lin family to mourn Uncle Lin who was buried underground.

An elder who has been engraved in her heart for as long as she can remember.

In the past five years, she has never even thought about experiencing such a scene and facing this day again.

Do you not want to think about it, or do you dare not think about it? Even she herself didn't know.

Or, in her heart, she has never accepted the death of Lin Yuhan and Lin Jinwen!

"What's wrong? Uncomfortable? Why don't we come back another day? Chu Tianxing noticed the change in his daughter's mood, so he asked thoughtfully.
