I think that after the young man saw the five-light ring on my left ring finger, he should have retreated. The young man was stunned for a moment, then grabbed my left hand and asked in surprise, "Why do you have this ring?" Where did it come from? Say it. ”

I was shocked, I had never been treated so roughly by a man, I subconsciously picked up the mineral water bottle on the coffee table, smashed it on the head, and then kicked it away, and ran away from my seat in a panic.

The train had already arrived, the door opened, I ran out as if I was flying, and I saw my father in the distance outside the station, and he drove me to pick me up. I hugged my dad and breathed a sigh of relief when I got into the car, thinking back to the terrible expression of that young man before, as if I had provoked him or something.

My family lives in a townhouse in Sanjiangkou, the heart of Ningbo, and there were originally a family of five, the eldest of whom went to study abroad, and the third who was still in a boarding high school, and was busy coping with the upcoming college entrance examination, so there were actually only me, my father and my mother in the family.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw the black cat Lao Hei lazily lying on the sofa watching TV. He is our black cat, very small, with smooth and shiny black hair and oily pupils, if you look at it in the dark, it is really like two light bulbs! The black cat has no name, we usually bark according to our personal habits, for example, I just call him Lao Hei!

The reason why it's called Lao Hei is because the black cat is older than me! He was brought back by his grandfather when he was young, and he has been raised until now, to say the least, he is fifty or sixty years old! Strange, isn't the average cat only about 20 years old? A cat in its fifties and sixties is equivalent to a human being in its fifties and tens. Oh my God, he's a monster! Live so long!

Normally, I think Lao Hei has the potential to be a monster. Lao Hei is extremely smart, the group of broken children in the community killed countless small animals, but in front of Lao Hei, they were all scared. Lao Hei also loves to be clean, his body is spotless, he still goes to the toilet by himself, and he will put water to rinse when he goes up. Awesome!

Seeing me coming, Lao Hei just glanced at me and continued to watch TV. As I passed by him, he suddenly jumped up, and his tail stood up, and he walked around me, sniffing me carefully, and then wagging his tail and walking away. It's weird, it's not like I haven't been home for a long time, why are I so rusty.

The family reunion was not lively and happy, and the mother showed her cooking skills to comfort her second daughter. While eating the yellow croaker wrapped in tofu skin, I asked my father: "Dad, what is the matter that beckoned me to come here, but I asked for leave!" ”

Dad put down his chopsticks and said, "Xiaofeng, are you nineteen years old this year?" ”

"yes, yes."

"Hehe, I didn't expect that little bit back then, when he grew so big, he could get married."

"I hate it, why does Dad say such nonsensical things?"

At this time, Dad Zhengse said, "Okay, I'll tell you." Before his death, your grandfather left a will, instructing me to give you the lotus field in Zhenhai's hometown as a dowry. ”

I was stunned, our He family's ancestral hometown of Zhenhai Hetian Village, used to be a large landlord who owned half of the land in Zhenhaitai, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the grandfather of the Western school of thought was the master of the house, and all the land was distributed to the clansmen and local poor farmers for free, but he left an ancestral house, called Hetianju, as well as a few acres of land and a pond around it. Before I was born, my family had already moved to downtown Ningbo, and I only visited it once when I was very young, and my memory is quite vague.

Dad said: "Hetianju and the surrounding acres of land, if you talk about the price of the land, it is not very valuable, and my family is not rare this spare money. But after all, this is the ancestral home of the He family, and it is a piece of your grandfather's heart, so you better accept it. ”

I nodded yes, and my father said, "Your grandfather instructed you to tell you about it before the Qingming Festival when you are eighteen years old." Of course, you can't get this house and the surrounding land for nothing. Grandpa has a condition, that is, you must live in the lotus field for three days and three nights before the Qingming Festival. ”

I was dumbfounded, the world really won't drop pies, although Hetianju is very precious, but after all, it's very old, I'm thinking of being coquettish, my father has long seen through the second daughter's mind, and said: "Don't you want to just be coquettish and shirk, your grandfather has instructed, you must live for three days and three nights, not a minute less." Hetianju is not a ghost house, what are you afraid of. Besides, the ancestral home of the He family is blessed by so many ancestors. Don't be verbose, I'll take you there tomorrow. ”

"Daddy......"

I pouted, useless.

At night, I slept in my bedroom, and when I went to the bathroom, I passed by my parents' bedroom, and I vaguely heard them talking, not that I was eavesdropping, but they seemed to mention me, which made me curious, and I couldn't help but prick up my ears and listen.

Mother: "...... That incident, you didn't tell Xiao Feng about it, is that okay? ”

Dad: "If you tell her that with her temperament, she ran away early, so I have to hide it and coax her first." ”

Mom hesitated: "The thing that Dad decides, will it be happy for Xiaofeng?" I'm always a little worried. ”

Dad: "Alas, this is Xiao Feng's life, there is no way to change it." After so many years, we remember this incident, and we don't know if the other party still remembers? They forget the best. Besides, I don't accept the old man's rest, but in terms of knowing people, I admire him, his eyes are poisonous, and he will definitely not be wrong to see the right ones. Don't worry, Xiao Feng will definitely be fine. ”

There is even a conspiracy about me. I secretly wondered what was it that made my father so mysterious. I am full of thoughts, hoping that when I arrive at Hetianju tomorrow, I will be able to solve the mystery.

The next day, my father drove me to my hometown in the countryside, and when we arrived at Hetian Village, we did not go to Hetian Juli immediately, but first visited the people in the village and thanked them for their many years of repairing and taking care of Hetian Ju, so that it would not be deserted. In addition, my father introduced me to the people and asked them to take care of me, because I would be staying here for a few days.

After worshipping the ancestors of the ancestral hall of the He family, I had a light meal at the clan's house at noon, and my father took me to Hetianju. Located at the end of the village, you can see a tall two-storey old-fashioned building from afar, and when you open the wall door, it is an exquisite house, which has not been seen for decades, and the small trees have grown into big trees. However, it was neat and tidy, and there was not a trace of weeds in sight, and the clansmen took care of it very carefully.

We walked along the cobblestone white winding path to the front of the house, stepped up the steps, and entered the lotus field house. My father took me on a tour, and the room was very large, and there were no less than twenty or so rooms in a rough count. There is also a small lake behind the house, the size of a dozen acres of land, and a lonely pavilion has been erected in the middle of the lake, which is connected by a path paved with wooden planks. At this time, it is mid-spring, the lake water is clear, the small lotus leaves have shown sharp corners, the scenery is excellent, whether it is a vacation and recuperation, it is a good place of first class, and grandpa's vision is not bad.
