"By the way, I found the wine you asked me to find for you last time, and said that I would personally deliver it to you another day!"

"Found it? So fast! Li Yaotang's undisguised surprise.

What's annoying.

It's been a long time, and the two of them are chatting enthusiastically, completely treating themselves as transparent people.

Also, Li Zhili had a gloating expression.

Most excessively, when did she become interested in alcohol? I didn't even know!

Besides, isn't it more convenient to find wine and find yourself? Go around in such a big circle, what do you do to trouble an outsider?

He Yu is even more annoyed.

Jin Zhaowen likes Li Yaotang, but Li Yaotang doesn't think it's such a thing at all, you say it's not angry!

"This time, I have to let your family thank me!"

He Yu raised his head and looked at Jin Zhaowen with a confused expression, and Li Yaotang also turned his head to look at He Yu.

Jin Zhaowen can see this kind of action.

No wonder!

But He Yu still came back to his senses quickly.

"We haven't been together for a long time, so let's eat together another day and come to sit at home."

Jin Zhaowen didn't take He Yu's words to heart, and just smiled when he heard it. He was not close to He Yu. He is friends with Li Yaotang's second brother, so he is particularly close to Li Yaotang.

When she was a child, Li Yaotang often followed behind her second brother's buttocks, playing with her second brother and a group of wild boys. At that time, He Yu, Li Zhili, Deng Lishi, and Wen Jiawen were also still in school in China, but they didn't play together, and later they all went abroad. Li Yaotang, who originally took care of both sides, could only be with Jin Zhaowen and them every day.

"Gotcha! It's not too early, so let's get busy first! I'll go see Uncle Deng first! ”

The group smiled and said goodbye.

At the end, Li Yaotang said goodbye to Jin Zhaowen and hugged him.

Jin Zhaowen whispered in Li Yaotang's ear, I will send someone to send you to school tomorrow. Li Yaotang smiled and said yes, saying thank you, Brother Zhaowen.

He Yu's face is dark, but he still has to maintain his demeanor.

On the way back, Sassa joked with Li Yaotang.

"I didn't expect it, after so many years, the two of them are still the same as when they were children, and the relationship is so good! It's really enviable! ”

Li Yaotang smiled and didn't speak, and He Yu didn't speak.

"Look at Jin Zhaowen's eyes, you can only see you! From beginning to end, they didn't look at me! ”

"It's not that you didn't play with people when you were a child, so people don't talk to you! Why are you saying that people ignore you now! Li Yaotang spoke for Jin Zhaowen and felt that his sister was unreasonable.

"Eh, I said Li Yaotang, why are you turning your elbow out, who is your relative!"

Sassy and angry, Li Yaotang pouted, in her heart, Zhaowen brother is not an outsider.

Looking at Li Yaotang pouting, Sassy continued to ask.

"Jin Zhaowen is quite mixed up in the officialdom now? Speak so officially! ”

Li Yaotang looked up at his sister, with a knife in his eyes, and asked Sasa, are you finished!

People are making noise in the officialdom, how can they be called chaos? Where is the official tone when people speak?!

Li Yaotang was indignant.

"Isn't Jin Zhaowen still married?!"

Speaking of this, He Yu finally had a slight reaction, and looked up at Li Yaotang's reaction.

"Speaking of this, I also wondered, Brother Zhaowen is really not in a hurry at all, and the Jin family doesn't urge him!"

Sasa said in his heart, he is really heartless, everyone else knows what's going on, but you don't know, and he took the initiative to ask others to do something. Her family Tangtang is like this, it doesn't make people feel annoying, but she feels cute, and everyone loves her.

The car was silent, and no one spoke anymore.

The scorching daylight shines on the glass windows in front of the car, and the interior of the car is bright and scorching.

Li Yaotang bit his fingers gently, and his eyes fell fixedly on the row of towers outside the car window, and the leaves were glowing in the sunlight. Crystal curtains. With the wind, shake gently.

When passing by He Yu's company, He Yu got out of the car, and later, Sassa also got out of the car, leaving Li Yaotang alone to drive home.

Her father called her and He Yu to come home for dinner. Because, Fu Gan went home.

Fu Gan went home......

Fu Gan, a member of that family. Moreover, as a member of the family, Fu Gan brought his fiancée home for the first time. As a member of the family, she has to go back to socialize and share her family.

When I got home, the workers at home were wiping the piano and inadvertently touched the keys and made a "bang" sound.

Li Yaotang turned around......

Suddenly, I felt like it was a winter morning, with a sunny weather, a cold and cold day, dripping into ice.

Time is pulled back to a long, long time ago.

Li Yaotang woke up in the morning, lay in the quilt, and looked at the ceiling sprinkled with gold rice paper, the delicate and delicate paper-cut patterns, and the whole phoenix wearing peonies. White background, dark red figure, phoenix feathers, thinner than a hair; When there is a gust of wind, it will bring the fragrance of peony flowers...... It was Grandma Lee's masterpiece.

Li Yaotang felt warm in his heart. Thinking of Grandma Li's hands that were already covered with age spots, she held scissors and carefully cut them against the light......

Li Yaotang likes these and has liked them since he was a child.

She counted on her fingers, how long is Grandma Li's birthday, and she has to give her a gift.

The aunt woke her up and told her that her father would be back today. She was coquettish, and she refused to get up. The aunt stroked her cheek and patted her gently, asking her to be obedient. She laughed. It seems that when she was five or six years old, her aunt would coax her like this.

The eldest aunt specially instructed her to dress a little more formally. Don't go out in a cotton robe. Li Yaotang was a little puzzled......

When is she sloppy? Not to mention that there are many people in the family, you can see outsiders when you turn a corner; It's her kind but strict aunt, who really never let her pull her slippers and scatter her hair to give the elders morning and dusk.

Thinking about it later, the eyes of the family that day were indeed a little special. Maybe she was too happy to care so much, because she hadn't seen her father for a long time. In fact, in those years, the father and daughter have been together less and more apart. When he heard the news that his father had returned to Beijing to take up his post, Li Yaotang was inexplicably happy.

At noon, Dad returned. There was also a woman who came back together.

No one said a word, but Li Yaotang just knew.

I can't describe Li Yaotang's feelings.

She just knew, and vaguely felt, that she should grow up.

Dad has a new family.

Nominally hers too. But she never thought that was the case. Never.

In the next year, she is going to take the high school entrance examination.

She breathed a sigh of relief at the thought of one thing that would stop her from worrying about anything else.

has always only had middle and upper grades, and his grades rose straight up like an elevator, which put a lot of pressure on the top students in that half a year. It wasn't until many years later that they met her and laughed at her for not showing her face. How do they know why? If she doesn't give herself more space to think, she has to find one thing to do and do it with all her might.

Dad's new wife thoughtfully put the wedding after the list. A low-key rewedding banquet attended only by family and friends; By the way, I celebrated that I was admitted to the provincial key high school as the champion.

It is said that it is double happiness, full of brilliance.

That night, Li Yaotang calmly accepted the congratulations of the guests. Do they congratulate her on getting into college, or do they congratulate her on having a new mother?

She didn't care.

Halfway through, she quietly came out.

The hotel is garden-style, along the corridor to the back, there is a small patio, in the center is a man-made pond, a pond of lotus flowers are blooming.

Li Yaotang originally came out to breathe, but when he sat down and looked at the lotus, he gradually became obsessed.

I vaguely remember that when my mother was there, we still lived with my grandfather. There are also lotus flowers planted in the back garden of the house. A black clay jar half-buried in the ground, a white lotus flower...... On summer evenings, my mother often stood in front of the clay jar and looked at the lotus flowers intently. Mom had curly hair, and when her head was lowered slightly, the curls of her hair drooped, and the setting sun gilded the silhouette with an orange-yellow edge......

In Li Yaotang's small heart, such a mother is the most beautiful and beautiful.

Suddenly, one day, my mother was gone.

One day, she reached out and pinched a lotus flower. Swaying, regardless of Grandma Li shouting behind her, she ran to show the lotus flower to her father.

She said daddy, daddy, mommy's flowers...... Dad ignored her.

She was like a discarded doll, covered in water.

Or did the eldest uncle stretch out a pair of big hands, lift her up, put it on his shoulders, and said with a smile Tang Tang, Tang, let's go eat ice cream, okay?

She grinned.

Kind uncle, his shoulders are so broad.

I don't know when I let go of my hand, and the lotus flower fell on the bluestone brick floor.

Within a few days, all the lotus flowers died. When the flowers died, the clay jar became a special tool for catching rainwater and watering the flowers.

Since then, the family has never raised a lotus flower.

Her memory is also frozen.

……

Time, time is such an old thing.

Aunt Zhao put a blanket over Li Yaotang. Li Yaotang moved, only to know that he had fallen asleep. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the time, it was already past twelve o'clock. She sat up and called He Yu.

When I received the call, He Yu was already on the plane. He picked up the phone and told Zi Duan that the plane was about to take off. Obviously feeling that Zi Duan was stunned for a moment, he was silent for a moment, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Nope." She said.

He didn't believe that she would call him indiscriminately, so he asked. She hesitated and said that her father wanted them to come home for dinner.

He immediately understood in his heart what was going on.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll be back the afternoon the day after tomorrow." I told my dad, is it okay to change the night after tomorrow? The flight attendant had already come over and asked him to turn off the phone, and he signaled that it would be fine immediately.

"It doesn't matter. I'll go myself. As if with a lot of determination, she said, "You stay safe." ”

The phone hung up silently. He Yu looked at the screen until the backlight went out, and he was about to press it back again, and the woman next to him took the phone away from his palm and turned it off skillfully.

"Took off." She spoke softly.

He Yu leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

"You sit down."

The woman was stunned for a moment. I had to put down the phone in my hand, get up and walk back.

He Yu opened his eyes and looked out the window.
