Forty-seven sugars: sugar and ginger flowers
He was stunned for a moment, then nodded knowingly, knowing what she meant, he didn't ask, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and turned off the bedside light, "Sleep, are you tired of crying today?" ”
The childlike "um" sounded and nestled in his arms and closed his eyes.
The next day, when the two left, the two elders were sent to the entrance of Huanshan Road, and Grandma Tong was still wiping her tears, and Childlike couldn't help crying.
The swollen eyes that had been crying the day before had not yet disappeared, and they began to cry like crazy again.
In the car, Zheng Yunzhi pulled out his hand to hold the child's hand, and gently rubbed it to comfort, "Someone will come to repair the road tomorrow, and I will be able to pick up my grandparents after a while." ”
"Mr. Zheng, thank you!"
Zheng Yunzhi glanced sideways at the person who was crying with saliva and snot, and couldn't help laughing, first handed her a tissue to wipe her face, and then took out a handful of paper crane fruit candy and handed it to her like a trick.
"How did you buy this candy?"
The Thousand Paper Crane Candy is a small one, a candy wrapped in laser paper, which would be sold at the convenience store outside the school when I was a child, and it was a lot of money. Tong Xin believes that this candy is not something that a noble son like Zheng Yunzhi will buy and eat.
"Children love candy, and yesterday my grandmother told me that you loved this when you were a child." So he slipped out of the hill yesterday and bought her a handful.
"Coincidentally, when I was a child, my grandparents and grandparents loved to buy me this, probably because I was not afraid of eating more cavities!" As she spoke, she opened one and threw it into her mouth.
I took another one open and put it in the palm of my hand and stretched it out, motioning for the driver to eat it.
Zheng Yunzhi swallowed the candy and licked her palm by the way, and the crispy numb feeling swept through her body like an electric shock.
Tong Xin quickly withdrew his hand, "Shall we go to Jiangcheng today?" ”
"Well, I bought a plane ticket and went to the airport now."
I haven't been back to Jiangcheng for a long time, and I am a little excited and nervous to go back to that familiar city.
The plane landed smoothly at Jiangcheng Airport, and after the two got off the plane, the first thing Tongxin did was to open his hands and feel the wind in Jiangcheng.
It was very hot in Jiangcheng in July, and the heat came almost as soon as you got off the plane.
Zheng Yunzhi rented a car and was already waiting at Jiangcheng Airport.
After getting into the car, Tong Xin remembered, "Have you booked a hotel?" ”
Zheng Yunzhi's hand holding the steering wheel freed up one and knocked her on the head, "Why don't you wait until you go to bed to ask?" ”
"Hee-hee, you feel very safe by my side, I think you will arrange it~" The childlike heart flattered.
"Then don't ask, I won't let you sleep on the flyover anyway."
The childlike "oh" sounded, and the mood was happy. In the past, my grandparents also liked to say, "Let's drive you out and sleep under the overpass, this kind of thing."
A feeling of intimacy hits.
The hotel where Zheng Yunzhi took her was a five-star luxury hotel, and it wasn't until the young lady at the front desk called "Mr. Zheng" when she checked in, and the childlike heart reacted that this hotel was his.
"Zheng's industry is so extensive? Jiangcheng is covered, it's amazing, Chairman Zheng~"
Zheng Yunzhi completed the formalities, held the luggage in one hand, and walked to the elevator with a childlike heart in the other. "It's not Zheng's property, it's mine, and I'll give it to you when I go back."
"Why did you give it to me?" The childlike heart is a little confused.
Zheng Yunzhi didn't answer, arrived at the door of the top suite, skillfully swiped the card to open and close the door, put down the luggage and led her to the floor-to-ceiling window to overlook.
"Do you like it?"
"I like it, this is one of the most luxurious hotels in Jiangcheng, but why give it to me?"
Zheng Yunzhi stood behind her and hugged her, his chin with a little stubble rubbing against the side of her face, "Didn't you say that your father sold the house after your grandparents died?" Some time ago, the high-level management of this hotel was short of public funds, so I took over the offer. ”
Looking at the childlike eyes, Zheng Yunzhi rubbed her hair and continued, "This room on the top floor is not open to the public, only the boss can live, and you will have a place to go when you come back to Jiangcheng in the future." You definitely don't want to buy you a house, I originally wanted to buy my grandparents' old house, but it was demolished last year. ”
"That's not good, this one was transferred to me, didn't all the proceeds be given to me?" Childlike retorted.
"Well, I'll give you some pocket money."
Her expression was very entangled, firstly, she really wanted to have a place to stay in Jiangcheng, and secondly, because she didn't want what he gave for nothing.
Zheng Yun understood it at a glance, and directly dispelled her doubts, "You have to give money, Zhang Qinxu will send you the prepared contract after you go back, the two couples will just mean it, you can't kick me out?" ”
"Okay, but you can't get your name off!"
Zheng Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, and did not refuse, as long as she could accept it, it was not impossible for her to put on a name and hang an idle job.
After a moment of silence, Childlike pointed to a ruin-like place in the distance outside the window and asked him, "Do you know where that is?" ”
Zheng Yunzhi hasn't been to Jiangcheng much, so naturally he doesn't know.
"It used to be a candy factory, making traditional handmade sweets." Tong Xin explained in a whisper, "When I was here when I was a child, my grandfather would secretly bring me to buy candy when I picked me up from class, and my grandmother didn't know about it. ”
Later, Tong Xin said that the toothache was only known to her grandmother, and she reprimanded her grandfather, and the child couldn't eat so much sugar, and fined her grandfather a week's pocket money.
Thinking of the bits and pieces of getting along with his grandparents, Tong Xin couldn't help but laugh.
Laughing and laughing, I felt a little sad.
Zheng Yunzhi understood her, and quickly felt her depressed mood, and the hand that hugged her tightened a little, "Didn't grandparents send me to hurt you?" Don't cry, or your grandparents will think I'm bullying you. Well? ”
The childlike "um" sounded and leaned on his arms with peace of mind.
The two of them went to see their grandparents the next day, and the cemetery was on the mountain, which was a bit different from the luxurious cemetery that Zheng Yunzhi imagined.
The Tong family is rich, but the grandparents have been diligent and thrifty all their lives, even if their daughter married and the Tong family lived a better life, they did not reach out to ask for money.
When my grandfather died, my grandmother said that it would be good to be buried in an ordinary cemetery, with many friends around, and I was not lonely on the road. Tong Wenzheng and his wife did not object, and buried their grandfather in the cemetery on the mountain, and later after the death of his grandmother, he also followed his grandmother's wish and was buried with his grandfather.
On the way here, the two went to buy a bouquet of flowers.
It is not a yellow and white chrysanthemum that is common to ancestors, but a bunch of white ginger flowers.
Without waiting for Zheng Yunzhi to ask her, she had already begun to take the initiative to speak, "In the past, my grandmother liked ginger flowers very much, and there was no shortage of money at home, but my grandmother would sometimes pick ginger flowers to sell by the bridge, and the ginger flower bracelet made by my grandmother was very beautiful, and it could smell good on my hand for a long time." ”
Because my grandmother likes ginger flowers, my grandfather, who spoils my grandmother, also planted ginger flowers in the backyard where vegetables were originally grown, and the whole yard is fragrant when the flowers bloom every year.
While Zheng Yunyi was driving, she turned her head from time to time to look at the chattering little girl, and was very relieved, she had begun to take the initiative to tell herself about the past.
