Chapter Forty-Nine: It Was a Far Away Place
Slender fingers caressed the grass and trees in the garden, and the smile was bright and bright like a girl, "exactly like in memory." ā
An Nian looked at all this in surprise, last time there were traces of the life of the Bai Ran family everywhere, but now it has completely changed, from the flowers and trees to the room furnishings, the corners and corners are full of the precipitation and heritage of a big family.
The original Mu family was like this.
"Madam, the young master asked the old man back then, and it took a lot of effort to repair it." Sister-in-law Wu helped Mu Mianxi and said with a smile, "You see that this flower pot was still transported back from the yard in Sanya." ā
Mu Mianxi's whole person was glowing with excitement: "You can walk with me again and take a look." ā
After walking a few steps, Mu Mianxi turned back to Huo Junyuan and An Nian, who were behind, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Wu is good to accompany me, Junyuan, you also accompany Niannian around." ā
"Okay." Huo Junyuan dragged An Nian to the back garden.
He suddenly stopped his steps, took An Nian's hand and sat on the steps of the garden, pointed to the flower bed not far away, and said, "When I was a child, I often hid there, waiting for my mother to find me. ā
The little child hid in the Gundam flowers, watching the young mother anxiously search for it, and the vivid picture seemed to be right in front of him.
An Nian held his arm, his heart was very distressed, fate was really cruel, he finally found his mother, and now he is facing the loss of her.
"Mom is very happy." An Nian held Huo Junyuan's shoulder and let him lean on his shoulder, "No matter what happens, I will accompany you." ā
Huo Junyuan let out a "hmm", lay on the steps sideways, his head resting on An Nian's lap, and he suddenly raised his hand to block her eyes.
An Nian was stunned, his mind flashed, a hand was on his eyes, his palm was wet, and his voice trembled a little because of distress.
"It's a very distant place, each of us will go, but sooner or later, in the future, we will all meet again in that unknown world."
"I know".
"Mom was very happy, and she happily walked the last leg of the journey outside."
The sun was shining, and the shadows of the two people lay thin on the floor, and sadness was diffused in the air.
"Sister-in-law Wu, look how good they are." Mu Mianxi stood at the attic window, looking at the two people in the garden, a satisfied smile overflowing from the corner of her mouth, "So I can rest assured." ā
"The young master and the young lady have a good relationship, they will be together for a hundred years and live a long life." Sister-in-law Wu put the water cup on the chair next to her, "Miss, don't worry." ā
Mu Mianxi turned her head and smiled softly: "It's been a long time since I've heard you call me Miss." ā
"Miss, you ......" Sister-in-law Wu's eyes reddened.
Since Huo Junyuan was born, Mu Mianxi has asked her subordinates to call her Mrs., and the title of Miss is never mentioned again.
"Help me watch them later." Mu Mianxi said softly, "Don't let them get separated." ā
Sister-in-law Wu took a step back, knelt down in front of Mu Mianxi, put her hands under her forehead, stretched her body forward, and made a big salute respectfully: "Yes, the head of the family." ā
The only daughter of the Mu family, the undoubted head of the family, but over the years, everyone has gradually forgotten it, and Mu Mianxi has also forgotten.
Hearing this title, Mu Mianxi looked moved, and her fingers holding the window trembled slightly, she was about to leave this world, and she would also take away all those old things, and her children would live happily.
In the evening, Mu Mianxi insisted on cooking herself, and An Nian was nervously guarding the kitchen door: "Mom, or I'll come?" You need to rest now. ā
"I think it's good." Mu Mianxi tasted the soup with a smile, and smiled at An Nian, "Let Mom cook a meal for you, otherwise I will feel like a waste." ā
An Nian bit her lip, stood quietly aside, handed over salt or conditioning at the right time, and the fragrance of soup wafted from the kitchen.
The dinner was very rich, all of which Huo Junyuan and An Nian loved to eat, and all kinds of things were set up on the table.
"Young master, this is your favorite whitebait egg custard when you were a child." Sister-in-law Wu took it out and put it in Huo Junyuan's hand, "Madame specially asked people to buy the whitebait." ā
"It's been a long time since I've done it, and I'm already a little rusty." The smile on her face was soft.
Huo Junyuan smiled slightly, picked up the spoon and ate it one bite at a time.
He didn't say a word, he ate very seriously, and An Nian was so uncomfortable to see that his internal organs seemed to be grabbed by someone hard, and he couldn't breathe in pain.
"IāI'll go to the kitchen." An Nian put down her chopsticks, hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen, covering her mouth, tears falling down her eyes.
Now, she didn't dare to look at Mu Mianxi's eyes, and she always felt that every time her eyes touched, she was saying goodbye.
"Young lady." Sister-in-law Wu handed a handkerchief to An Nian, "Madame is willing to see you happy." ā
An Nian said "um", covered her face with her hands, took a deep breath, and smiled at Sister-in-law Wu: "Then I'll go out." ā
Seeing her come back, Mu Mianxi didn't ask her red eyes, took her hand and put it in Huo Junyuan's palm: "You two children support each other." ā
"Okay." An Nian nodded vigorously.
That night, Huo Junyuan lay on the bed with An Nian in his arms, neither of them spoke, quietly listening to the sound of each other's heartbeats, and feeling the real existence and companionship of each other.
I thought I was going to have a sleepless night, but I didn't expect to fall asleep quickly, and when I woke up, the sky was already bright.
"Mom hasn't gotten up yet?" Huo Junyuan changed his clothes and went downstairs and saw that Sister-in-law Wu had already prepared breakfast.
Sister-in-law Wu set the tableware, stood aside and said respectfully, "Madame is gone." ā
"What do you mean?" Huo Junyuan's voice sank, and a strong uneasiness arose in his heart.
"This is what Madame left for you." Sister-in-law Wu took out a letter and handed it to Huo Junyuan.
Huo Junyuan slowly opened it, and there was only one sentence on it: Life is a journey of non-stop farewell, I am gone, you don't have to send it.
He sat down on the couch, the letter in his hand fluttering down.
An Nian walked a few steps downstairs, picked up the letter paper on the ground and glanced at it, her face changed greatly, she gently hugged Huo Junyuan, and comforted him wordlessly.
Huo Jun leaned on An Nian, didn't speak for a long time, and the sunlight shone in through the window and fell on the two people who were clinging to each other.
After Mu Mianxi left, the two of them continued to stay here, and no one mentioned Mu Mianxi again, but they hoped that one day, she would suddenly appear.
In the midst of worry and searching, Huo Junyuan and An Nian's lives gradually returned to the original track, as if the person who left was really doing a long journey.
"The people you arranged manage the Xingyu House very well." An Nian sat down and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Huo Junyuan, sat on the sofa opposite him and smiled, "I'm going over now, it's a bit redundant." ā
With nothing to do every day, An Nian felt that her bones were going to be moldy and rusty, so she proposed to go to work and asked her husband for advice.
"Be my assistant." Huo Junyuan flipped through the documents in his hand, "The company has a lot of business recently, you can help me." ā
An Nian leaned back on the sofa, looked at the neatly trimmed nails, and squinted her eyes: "In this case, you can't provoke Peach Blossom casually." ā
"The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys." Huo Junyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, his eyes were full of play.
