Time flies, the years are traceless, and in a blink of an eye, it is April.

April is the season of the earth flowers, but also the time to sow the seeds of hope, April is fragrant, that is the beauty of the years, but also the gift of nature, the spring breeze is warm, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the spring breeze laughs and sings its unique rhapsody.

After the end of the 320 case, CY also took a break from CY, on April 3rd, Xu Lang gave the members of CY a holiday, and Xu Lang also left the city with Xiao Yueyue, who happened to be on holiday, and came to Zhangjiazhuang, because, tomorrow is the Qingming Festival.

During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.

When Xu Lang took Xiao Yueyue to worship the ancestors for the first time, it was when Xiao Yueyue was very young, at that time she was still a baby in swaddling clothes, she didn't understand anything, so it was naturally impossible to remember these, and since Xu Lang left the city with Xiao Yueyue, he didn't come back to worship the deceased ancestors, this time, after Xu Lang took Xiao Yueyue back from Zhuxi County, the case in his hand was handled, just in time for the Qingming Festival, he decided to take Xiao Yueyue back to worship his ancestors.

Before, in order to solve the 320 case, Xu Lang slept in the office every day during that time, and he didn't have time to take care of Xiao Yueyue, but Ning Yanran was responsible for helping to take care of Xiao Yueyue, Xiao Yueyue was very sensible and didn't bother Xu Lang during that time, however, after the 320 case ended, when Xu Lang returned home, he encountered something that made Xu Lang laugh.

After the case was solved, Xu Lang came home with a large bag of dirty clothes, and when she opened the door, Xiao Yueyue happened to be at home from school, when she saw Xu Lang, Xiao Yueyue's face, who was watching TV, was first happy, and then, she strained her face, pouted, sat on the sofa, put her hands on her chest, and said to Xu Lang in an old-fashioned manner, "You still know to come back"

When Xu Lang heard this, he was also stunned, and then he laughed.

You can imagine a little girl of six or seven years old, sitting on the sofa, crossing Erlang's legs, clasping her hands around her chest, holding a young face, and saying words with a bit of resentment and old-fashionedness.

"If you don't go home for so long, you leave me to someone else, you don't care about me, you still have a smile on your face"

Seeing Xu Lang's smiling face, Xiao Yueyue's wrinkled little face wrinkled a little tighter.

Looking at Xiao Yueyue's extremely cute appearance, listening to the words she said, Xu Lang smiled more and more happily, he put down the bag in his hand, walked straight to the sofa, and stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Yueyue.

However, to Xu Lang's surprise, when Xiao Yueyue saw Xu Lang stretching out her hand, she hurriedly took two steps back, covered her nose with one hand, looked at Xu Lang with a disgusted expression and said, "Don't come here, stay away from me, it's too smelly, hurry up and wash it." ”

was disgusted by his own daughter, Rao is very thick-skinned Xu Lang, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he was a little helpless, so he had to stand up, walk to the door, carry his bag, and go straight into the bathroom, ready to take a shower.

Xiao Yueyue is right, during this time, Xu Lang and they are really busy, they haven't changed their clothes for a week, it's strange that there is no smell on their bodies, Xu Lang They are policemen, they have long been used to this feeling, and they don't care about anything, but when others smell this smell, they will naturally care, such as Xiao Yueyue now.

Just when Xu Lang entered the bathroom with a bag containing dirty clothes, Xiao Yueyue sat on the sofa and said a word without being salty.

"Stinky man, stinky man, isn't it a stinky man if you don't take a bath?"

Xiao Yueyue's voice was not loud, but Xu Lang heard it clearly, after hearing Xiao Yueyue's words, Xu Lang stumbled and almost fell, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yueyue who looked at him with a look of disgust on his face, Xu Lang was speechless, he really wanted to know, who taught Xiao Yueyue this sentence, was it Ning Yanran or her teacher Xu Lang decided, he must ask Ning Yanran and Shen Fang clearly, don't let them teach Xiao Yueyue badly.

In the next few days, Xu Lang got up early every day to prepare breakfast for Xiao Yueyue, and after eating breakfast, sent Xiao Yueyue to school, Xu Lang went to work in cy, although Xiao Yueyue was very unhappy that Xu Lang did not go home for a long time, but she also knew that Xu Lang was busy with business, on the surface, she did not give Xu Lang any good face, but after all, she was still a little girl, and she still cared about Xu Lang, and on the night Xu Lang came back, she also took the initiative to give Xu Lang a good massage, The childish little hand rubbed Xu Lang's temples, looking at the drowsy and tired Xu Lang, this little girl showed a distressed expression.

On April 3rd, Xu Lang told Xiao Yueyue that when she was about to take her to the countryside to play, the little girl was very happy, and when she was about to leave, she packed a lot of things, for example, the backpack she carried with her, changed into a set of neat clothes, and hung a point-and-shoot camera that Xu Lang bought in order to make her happy.

On the way from the city to Zhangjiazhuang, Xiao Yueyue sat in the back row, very happy, she kept lying by the window, looking at everything outside the window.

"Why don't you bring Aunt Ning with you?"

The car had already driven out of the city, and she couldn't see those steel giants built of steel and concrete, Xiao Yueyue was in a particularly good mood, she turned her head, looked at the back of Xu Lang's head and asked.

Xu Lang, who was driving, glanced at Xiao Yueyue from the rearview mirror, smiled, and said, "The place we are going to is your grandmother's hometown, and it is also the place where your grandfather is buried. ”

"Why," Xiao Yueyue asked curiously.

"Because she is a friend with us, not a family member, only family members can worship." Xu Lang explained.

"Oh, that's right."

Xiao Yueyue nodded, then turned her head and continued to look out the window.

After a while, she asked again, "Then you married Aunt Ning, is Aunt Ning our family, can she follow us to worship our ancestors?"

Hearing Xiao Yueyue ask this, the expression on Xu Lang's face stiffened slightly, and then, he shook his head with a wry smile and continued to drive, without answering Xiao Yueyue's question.

Xiao Yueyue waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for Xu Lang's answer, she turned her head to look at Xu Lang again, pursed her lips, and didn't ask anything more, but sat in her seat, fiddling with her small camera, looking a little listless.

Actually, Xiao Yueyue still likes Ning Yanran, firstly, Ning Yanran is a policeman like Xu Lang, secondly, Ning Yanran likes Xu Lang, Xiao Yueyue can see it and feel it, and thirdly, Ning Yanran is very good to herself, just like a mother, which makes Xiao Yueyue, who has not had a mother since she was a child, enjoy this feeling very much, especially when Xu Lang has no time to take care of herself in order to solve the 320 case, Ning Yanran takes care of herself, Xiao Yueyue is very happy, so she hopes that Xu Lang can be with Ning Yanran.

Of course, Xiao Yueyue still doesn't understand the adult world, although she is very precocious and very smart, but she is just a six or seven-year-old girl after all, and she still doesn't understand the love of men and women, and she doesn't know that there are still many stories and misunderstandings between Xu Lang and Ning Yanran.

Although Xiao Yueyue was very disappointed that Xu Lang was unwilling to face this fact, she also knew that Xu Lang must have her own reasons for not speaking, and she didn't want to make it difficult for Xu Lang because of herself.

In this way, Xu Lang drove Xiao Yueyue to Zhangjiazhuang.

Xu Lang's grandmother's house was burned down a few years ago, and only the ruins remained, because of the events of the year, Xu Lang did not come back to repair the house, after all, Xu Lang had a lot to do at that time, and he thought about a lot of things, and he was unwilling to come back here.

When Xu Lang and the others arrived in Zhangjiazhuang, it was already night, and Xu Lang took Xiao Yueyue to Ye Du's house to spend the night.

Xu Lang hadn't come back for a long time, and when Ye Du's family saw Xu Lang come back, they were all very shocked and very happy, especially when they saw Xiao Yueyue, who was carved in pink.

That night, Xu Lang and the others had dinner at Ye Du's house and rested there for a night.

Maybe she got up too early in the morning, maybe she was tired from the car, Xiao Yueyue was sleepy after playing for a while after eating, so she went to sleep, while Xu Lang and Ye Du's mother sat in the hall and chatted.

Mother Ye asked Xu Lang where he had been all these years, what he had done, and what he was doing now, and Xu Lang also answered one by one.

After chatting about this, Mother Ye looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Are you married?"

Xu Lang looked outside the gate, shook his head, and said, "No." ”

"Hey"

Mother Ye looked at Xu Lang and sighed deeply, shook her head, and said, "You are in your thirties, you should also start a family, it is very hard for a big man to take a child, you are now working in the Public Security Bureau, you must be very busy on weekdays, how can you have time to take care of children?"

Xu Lang raised his head, looked at Mother Ye and smiled, shook his head, and said, "Get used to it." ”

Mother Ye looked at Xu Lang, shook her head again, and said earnestly, "Xiao Yueyue has no mother since she was a child, she is still so young, I found out just now that this child is very smart, but she is smart and needs a mother." ”

Hearing this, Xu Lang was silent, he knew that Mother Ye was caring about herself and for her own good, but only she knew about her own affairs.

The industry I am engaged in has such a high risk factor, and now that CY has been established, back then, when Xu Lang and Master Chang started a confrontation, although, in the end, Xu Lang and they won, but it was not easy to win, many people died, many people were injured, Xu Lang's brother Xu Yi, Xiao Yueyue's mother Shu Yue, and those colleagues of the second criminal investigation team, all those who were close to Xu Lang either died or left the police force, and there were very few people left, for the criminal organization of Master Chang, Every time Xu Lang thinks of the change six years ago, he has palpitations, and he can't talk about being afraid of Master Chang Xu Lang, but the fear is true, Xu Lang doesn't want to suffer the people around him once, because of himself and be implicated, Xu Lang's relatives have been killed and sacrificed because of them, Xu Lang doesn't want anyone to die anymore.

In addition to the potential danger of Master Chang, Xu Lang mainly thinks about Xiao Yueyue, Xu Lang himself also knows that Xiao Yueyue has no mother since she was a child and lacks maternal love, over the years, Xu Lang has tried her best to give Xiao Yueyue enough fatherly love, so as not to make her feel that she is different from other children, and finding a stepmother for Xiao Yueyue is naturally the best decision, but, find

Who is it that this person found will really be good to Xiao Yueyue, can Xiao Yueyue accept it, Xu Lang doesn't know.

Although Xiao Yueyue feels very good about Ning Yanran now, and is also hinting that Xu Lang can be with Ning Yanran, but Xu Lang doesn't want to be like this, first, where is Ning Yanran's identity, it's not that Xu Lang feels that he is climbing high branches because of Ning Yanran's family background, Xu Lang doesn't care about that, second, Ning Yanran is half of Xu Lang's student, and a lot of Ning Yanran's case-handling experience is taught by Xu Lang, Xu Lang has a pimple in his heart, third, naturally, because of the incident six years ago, if, Ning Yanran and they arrived earlier, If the arrangement is more careful, Shu Yue will not die, although Xu Lang knew that Ning Yanran did his best afterwards, but this knot, Xu Lang still can't untie it, this is a hurdle between him and Ning Yanran that can't be overcome, if Xiao Yueyue knows about it one day, what will she think, and what will she think of Ning Yanran, if Xu Lang is really with Ning Yanran, at this time, what should Xu Lang do Xu Lang will be very embarrassed, so Xu Lang still keeps a certain distance from Ning Yanran, Don't think about these things.

After a moment of silence, Xu Lang asked, "What about Ye Du, where has she been in the past few years, has she ever been back?"

Mother Ye shook her head and said, "Since you came back with that girl that year, she left Zhangjiazhuang, and she hasn't come back all these years, as for what she's doing, I don't know as a mother." ”

Hearing Mother Ye say this, Xu Lang felt very guilty in his heart.

Back then, he took Shu Yue back to worship his ancestors, mainly to give Shu Yue an explanation, a name, but, I didn't expect to hurt Ye Du, after that meeting, Xu Lang and Ye Du never met again, although, later Xu Lang and Ye Du occasionally had contact, but, every time Ye Du contacted himself and sent him some condolences text messages, Xu Lang also asked Ye Du where he was and what he was doing, but Ye Du didn't tell Xu Lang, and Xu Lang didn't ask anything more.

Xu Lang originally thought that Ye Du should come back every year, after all, this is her home, but now that he heard Ye's mother say this, Xu Lang knew that Ye Du had not returned home for six or seven years, which made Xu Lang feel guilty

Maybe it was because she saw Xu Lang's guilt, Mother Ye comforted Xu Lang with a smile and said, "Xu Lang, you are a good child, a good boy with a good future, our family Ye Du is destined for you, although I am also very sorry for being a mother, but since you can't come together, I can't force anything, after all, feelings are a matter of two people, we can't say anything, you don't have to feel guilty, Ye Du is now an adult, I can take care of myself, I am also very relieved, although, she has not been back all these years, but, She still called me every once in a while, and I was relieved to know that she was doing well outside. ”

Looking at the hair in front of him who had already turned gray, because of his long-term farming, his body was not comparable to that of a woman in the city, and he was slightly old, Xu Lang felt very uncomfortable.

Back then, Xu Lang's family had an accident, Xu Lang and his sister Xu Chan followed his grandmother to live in Zhangjiazhuang, and the people here more or less helped Xu Lang and them, especially when Xu Chan was killed and his grandmother died, it was the help of these villagers in Zhangjiazhuang to finish the funeral.

That night, Xu Lang accompanied Ye's mother and talked a lot, and also asked a lot about Ye Du's situation, until late at night, Ye's mother was sleepy, and Xu Lang and they went to rest.

The next day, it rained in the sky, Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue got up early, and after eating the breakfast prepared by Ye's mother, Xu Lang took Xiao Yueyue to the back mountain of the village to worship their ancestors.

On this mountain behind the green mountains and green waters, there are a total of seven graves.

The buries here Xu Lang's grandmother and grandfather, Xu Lang's parents, Xu Yuan and Zhang Lan, as well as Xu Lang's sister Xu Chan, Xu Lang's twin brother Xu Qi, and of course, Xiao Yueyue's mother, Xu Lang's lover Shu Yue, these people are buried here forever, watching everything Xu Lang does.

Xu Lang first took Xiao Yueyue to kowtow to everyone and burned the paper money, and then Xu Lang knelt in front of the grave, chattering in pieces.

Xiao Yueyue held an umbrella and stood behind Xu Lang, this precocious little girl, only at this time did she know that her mother had already passed away and was buried here, and it was also at this time that she knew that she had a mother, but other people's mothers were still alive, and her own mother was lying on the ground, watching herself in the sky.

"Shu Yue, so that's your name."

Xiao Yueyue looked at Xu Lang who was kneeling in the muddy mud and had been thinking about it all the time, Xiao Yueyue was very distressed and confused, she didn't know why Xu Lang didn't have any smiling faces along the way when she came back, and she didn't know why Xu Lang's hair was white, now, she kind of understood.

When she was a child, Xiao Yueyue always blamed Xu Lang, why did everyone else have a mother, but she didn't, even after returning to the city this time, when Xiao Yueyue matched Xu Lang and Ning Yanran, Xu Lang always avoided it, she still complained a little in her heart about why Xu Lang didn't find a mother for herself, and now, she somewhat understands that her father, who doesn't seem to care about anything and seems to be able to understand everything, is actually very bitter in his heart, and he himself doesn't know that he is bitter.
