Jiang Cheng, Mingke and Amy went home smoothly.

Many of the gifts prepared were picked up by people arranged by Gong Da, and they didn't need to make a lot of effort.

When they went home to rest, the gifts that they didn't have to give in person had already been sent by Gong Da one by one.

The small gifts for friends are all gadgets that are only available in the port city, and they will not be frivolous and make people not know which corner to throw them in if they don't take them to heart, nor will they make people feel too valuable and unwilling to accept them.

And the gifts to the elders are given by them themselves.

Grandma Wang is wearing the style of clothes that the old lady in Hong Kong City likes to wear, and after changing into it, the whole person looks younger than ten years, and there are some famous nutritional products over there.

For Elaine, there are a few sets of fashionable clothes, as well as some cosmetics and jewelry that can't be bought here in Jiangcheng.

"These are big brands, very expensive, I can't accept them."

Elaine now sees a lot of different people where she works, and she immediately recognizes these signs as the chief of staff's wife.

Last month, the director's wife bought a bracelet from here, and she brought it to the office all day to show off, and everyone said how difficult it was to buy.

"These were meant for you."

Amy smiled and chose a necklace for her that would match the outfit she was wearing today.

There is no woman who does not love beauty, and after Elaine put on the necklace, she looked at the person in the mirror and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her neck.

"I didn't understand why people like to buy necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and other things, and if they can't eat them, they may accidentally drop them, until now when I see my sister wearing them, I understand that these things are really beautiful."

Because Ai Lian was greatly influenced by Ai's father and mother, although she is now very good, she still has low self-esteem in her bones.

Amy tugged at her and complimented, finally stopping her from taking off the necklace.

"Really good-looking?"

Elaine asked uncertainly.

"Of course, don't you believe my eyes?"

"However, these things are too expensive......

Elaine is still a little distressed about money, in the end, she used to be thrifty, and she is used to breaking a penny into two cents to spend.

"Sister, why do we work so hard to make money? Isn't it just to make life better? If you don't buy anything, it's useless to make more money. ”

Amy began to brainwash Elaine with the set she had sold before, and finally convinced her to stop thinking about the price.

The last gift in the family was Niu Niu's.

Beautiful stationery and books, as well as some clothes and skincare products for her age, as well as some quirky snacks and toys.

Niuniu slept with the big plush doll that night and seemed to like it very much.

"This girl, she's such a big person, and she still likes these little dolls."

Grandma Wang smiled kindly as she asked about Amy's situation in Hong Kong City.

"It all went well, and we met Mingke's father, which was not what I expected."

The two families are close, and they usually spend the New Year together, which is no different from a family.

Grandma Wang and Ai Lian naturally knew about Ming Yanghong.

However, they don't like to hear this person's name, because Amy was set on fire in the garment factory and almost died because of him.

"What's wrong with him, pestering Mingke again to ask him to go abroad or forcing you to break up with Mingke?"

Elaine's tone was particularly dissatisfied.

Amy couldn't help but be glad that she didn't directly take out the gift that Ming Yanghong prepared for her, otherwise she would definitely destroy it manually.

"No, he's not like that."

Since Mingke has accepted Mingyanghong, maybe there will be contacts between the two sides in the future - although the probability is relatively low, Amy doesn't want to cause misunderstanding because of this matter.

She picked out some of the things that Mingyanghong had done these days, and at first Ai Lian insisted that he was deliberately trying to deceive Mingke by putting fog bombs, but later she was silent.

In the end, it was Grandma Wang who was the first to accept the real version of Ming Yanghong.

"You are still young, you don't have a family and no children, you may not understand, but I understand that thought. At that special time, I saw too many people have accidents, although he didn't do it properly, but at that time, it was not a big mistake, because there was really no way. ”

In those years, everyone said everything.

The little people at the bottom don't know who is telling the truth and who is false, they only know that their lives are very difficult, and many relatives are gone because of that scene.

When Grandma Wang thinks about that period of life now, she still feels chills in her back, and she will have nightmares at night, dreaming that someone cut down the wooden door of their house and ran in to arrest her son.

Elaine said thoughtfully:

"But if you do that, Auntie and Mingke may actually die......"

That's not simple hatred, it's life and death.

"Well, what if he stays? It's nothing more than paying one more person to go in. And if he had been there, the two of them might have been targeted even harder. ”

As a person who has experienced it firsthand, Grandma Wang has a deep feeling.

"Anyway, this is also a family matter, and it's not good for us to say that. It's better to be reunited than to be so bad as before, how many years can this person live, some things have passed, and no matter how much he hates, he can't change it, it's better to make the years that come to life feel better. ”

She sees through it.

With that, Elaine didn't say anything more.

After all, this matter really doesn't have much to do with their family now.

Over there in the old mansion, Mingke was also talking to Qi Yingyue about something.

Of course, Qi Yingyue hated it in her heart, because she had been living with expectations all these years, and Mingyanghong was also an important spiritual support for her.

As a result, seeing that life was better and the disaster had passed, she learned that Ming Yanghong had married another woman and had children, how could she not be angry.

But when Mingke talked about this, she didn't have much mood swings, which was completely different from what Mingke expected at the beginning.

After listening, Qi Yingyue only asked:

"Is his hair gray?"

Mingke was slightly stunned.

"Yes, the sideburns are white."

He pulled a photo out of his bag.

It was taken when they were in Port City, and the four of them shot it together.

Qi Yingyue held the photo, her eyes locked on Ming Yanghong's face.

"Old, thin."

Her fingers slid across his face, with affection and concern that belonged to her loved ones alone.

"In the future, if I can, I can meet him too."

It's not easy to get to Port City now, and you need a lot of formalities.

Qi Yingyue actually thought that she would hate Ming Yanghong before she saw the photo.

But when she really saw someone who was twenty years older than she remembered, she only felt that the days when the two of them were together were like a world apart.

The memories of the past seem to be separated by a layer of hazy fog now, and they are not real at all.

"Can you give me a photo?"

After a long time, Qi Yingyue asked.

"Absolutely."

Mingke was pleasantly surprised by her reaction, but at the same time a little worried.

"If you don't feel very comfortable, you can tell me, and if you don't want to talk to me, you can also tell Amy, Elaine or Grandma Wang."

He was afraid that Qi Yingyue would hold all his emotions in his heart, and when the time came, he would suffocate his body.

Qi Yingyue smiled.

"You, even though you are a child, treat me as a child."

The mode of getting along between the mother and son seems to have undergone some changes because of this trip to Hong Kong, without the familiar and unfamiliar feeling before, and without the previous caution and excessive politeness.

Qi Yingyue took out the photo and framed it and put it in her bedroom.

"I used to have a lot of pictures at home, but then they all disappeared."

In such turmoil, even your life may not be saved, let alone photos.

"I'll have a chance to take a few more shots in the future."

After Mingke said this, Qi Yingyue smiled again.

"Silly boy, where is there anything to follow, me and him, we are old."

Qi Yingyue has always been a very gentle person.

She was born in a scholarly family, and she was leached out of books since she was a child.

Even if she experienced so many hardships later, she couldn't wear away the unique temperament in her bones.

These things make her not hysterical no matter what happens.

The only time I had an emotional breakdown was when I learned that Ming Yanghong was married and had children.

The sadness at that time was not just because of Ming Yanghong, but because her spiritual pillar was broken.

In the midst of suffering, no other pillar was enough for her to resist hardships, only the two families of Ming Yanghong and Ming Ke let her know that no matter how difficult it was, she must persevere and go to see them.

What I thought would cause a quarrel at home passed so uneventfully.

Neither Mingke nor Amy thought of this.

"Still, even though she said that, I still think she cares and hates him. It's just that she thinks they're getting older, or she thinks that hatred can't change anything, so she says that. ”

Human emotions have always been complex and changeable, and they cannot be described by one or two flat words.

Compared with what Qi Yingyue said, Mingke believed his actual feelings more.

"Everything has to be done slowly, not in a hurry."

After a day of corrections, the next day, Amy went back to work at the soda factory.

As soon as I entered the door, I suddenly remembered warm applause.

"Welcome home our hero, Amy."

"Amy, you're really amazing, you really took the production line down."

"It's worthy of being a top student of Jiangcheng University, it's really amazing."

If Amy was in charge of the import of the production line, everyone might think it was amazing, but it was definitely not as exciting as it is now.

But Amy is not.

She didn't even major in mechanics, she knew almost nothing about production line equipment before that, and she was still a newcomer who had just come to the soda factory for more than a year.

Taken together, it made people feel that it was absolutely impossible for her to talk about the production line at first.

But who would have thought that even the new director didn't take down the things, she actually took them down.

And the person they went to receive the equipment said that the reason why they talked about it was because Amy was well prepared and more skilled in those equipment repairers than others.

Come to think of it, you know how much work it takes.

Everyone was lively, and Wang Shuxi suddenly appeared.

"What are you doing, don't you have to go to work one by one?"
