After Master Zhou knew that Ruikang and Jiaqi were separated, the uneasiness in his heart continued to expand, and he finally understood that Ruikang was not talking nonsense, everything he said was true, Ruikang had an outer room and a child.

"Ruikang, what the hell is wrong with you and Jiaqi?" Master Zhou sat on the edge of the bed and asked his son.

"Dad, don't ask, I'm already very annoyed."

"Do you have a favorite outside?"

"Yes."

"Oh, what's this, it's common for men to have three wives and four concubines, although they talk about new revolutions, new ideas, and messy things, but you look at those high-ranking officials and nobles, who don't have a few aunts. If you like it, just marry back, and your father will support you. ”

Master Zhou's words made Ruikang cry and laugh, and shook his head:

"Dad, Jiaqi won't agree. Again...... She didn't agree...... "Ruikang said hesitantly, he couldn't predict what his father's attitude would be if he knew that the woman outside him was Mei Ruojun, and whether Mei Ruojun and Ding Xiaohui had a showdown, he didn't know, so he couldn't say more.

"Hey, dad went to talk to Jiaqi, but, Ruikang, the Cheng family is very kind to us, you can't be sorry for others, no matter what, Jiaqi is also the main room, your original partner, you can't snub Jiaqi after that girl enters the door, let alone mention divorce, you know? No matter who you like or who you love, Jiaqi is also the rightful daughter-in-law of our Zhou family, and your original wife cannot be changed in this life. ”

Ruikang tilted his head, bitter, helplessly shook his head, silent, he knew his father's unbreakable feudal thoughts, these thoughts were like the roots of a big tree, deeply rooted in his heart.

Suddenly, a loud laugh came from outside the house, the bedroom door opened, and a man with a bright look walked in with a laugh:

"I'm back!"

Song Yuanyang pushed the door in, and his appearance made Ruikang feel that a savior had appeared, and his spirits were uplifted, and he was about to get out of bed in a hurry.

"Yuanyang, it's great that you're back, I'm dying."

"Hey, don't get excited, lie down, I know what you're going to say."

"How come it's been two months since you've been gone?"

"Ahem, the coastal area is over, the situation in Shanghai is very complicated, the Yunnan-Burma Highway is also a miserable, the lack of materials is a mess, I entrusted the relationship with the British Embassy this time, only to get a batch of medicines, along the way there are donkey carts, trains, hiding, finally transported to Chongqing, waiting for the chairman to be assigned to the front line. Fortunately, the Japanese fought with the Americans in the Pacific, and their forces were somewhat dispersed. I think Chongqing is safe for the time being. ”

"Hey, you're so nice, I never thought you were so patriotic." Ruikang laughed excitedly.

"Hehe, it's not because of you, I originally didn't care about these things that were fighting and killing, and then once, I persuaded Man Lin to leave China with me, and Man Lin drenched the dog I scolded, and used your big reason to devalue me worthless, hey, this chick loves you to the heart." As he spoke, he lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes, and his thoughts went back to many years ago: "Ahem----"

"I didn't expect you to be so sincere to Manlin." Ruikang whispered with some guilt.

The corners of Song Yuanyang's mouth hooked up a helpless smile, and he shook his head: "Yes, but everyone's feelings are free, and whoever loves or doesn't can't force it, just like you and ......"

"Ocean ......" Ruikang gently turned his head to look at Master Zhou on the side, signaling him to stop talking.

Song Yuanyang understood, and immediately turned his face to Master Zhou and said, "Oh, Uncle Zhou, I brought some fine British tobacco and foreign wine from Shanghai, as well as a few suits, all for you." You go back to your room and see if you like it. ”

"Yo, suit, I haven't worn it in my life. Okay, I'll give it a try. Master Zhou smiled, and knew that his son and Song Yuanyang must have something to say, so he stood up with a smile, and Song Yuanyang called someone to come in and help Master Zhou out.

After Master Zhou left, Song Yuanyang wrung his hands, leaned on the bed frame, looked at Zhou Ruikang meaningfully, spit smoke, and said with a smile: "What a great love saint, these two months have been bitter." I didn't expect you to really have the courage to have a showdown with Jiaqi and split the room. ”

"Alas, don't mention it, I owe her in my heart, but I don't want to compromise anymore, even if it is pointed out by Qianfu, that's it, I used to overestimate myself, thinking that I could be a saint, but in fact, I am just a selfish and distracting, greedy and lustful ordinary man."

"Hehe, I think it's amazing that you can get rid of worldly views and pursue what you love."

"Seriously, I'm also sorry for Manlin, I shouldn't have agreed to marry her. If it hadn't been for that wedding, she wouldn't have died. Maybe one day she will understand that I am not a good couple and choose to be with you. ”

"Feelings can't be forced, Manlin's love for you is hot and stubborn, although I am jealous, but I also respect her choice, so I don't hate you, I just feel a pity. Zhou Ruikang, emotionally you are a lucky and pitiful man. After flicking the ashes, Song Yuanyang shook his head, and said with a smile: "I'll take you to Jinyun Mountain tomorrow." ”

Ruikang's cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with joy and excitement, and the whole person sat up straight: "Let's go now." As he spoke, he was about to roll over and get up.

Song Yuanyang stepped forward and pressed him and smiled: "You are too anxious, I have been bumpy on the road all day, and now my whole body is sore, do you want me to accompany you to climb the mountain now?" You also feel sorry for me. Don't worry, I have already sent someone to keep an eye on the mountain, Mei Ruojun will be fine. ”

Zhou Ruikang nodded gratefully, frowned puzzled, and asked, "Seriously, why are you helping me so much?" ”

Song Yuanyang took a deep breath of cigarette, thick smoke spewed out from his mouth and nose, as if thinking about something, and said after a while: "First, I respect you as a man, throwing pen from Rong, blood-stained battlefield, you did what I couldn't do, and second, I was entrusted by others." ”

"Oh? Who? ”

Song Yuanyang smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, when you recover, I will naturally tell you everything, and I also need you to do me a favor, but this favor must be completed when your eyes regain vision." ”

"But I don't know when my vision will return, if it will ever return?"

"Let's try, there may be miracles on Jinyun Mountain. Hehe" Song Yuanyang smiled mysteriously.

"Heh, you said Ruojun?" Ruikang now likes to chat with Song Yuanyang, and only with him can Ruikang talk about Mei Ruojun without scruples.

"Yes, she can wake you up from your coma, she can wake you up from silence, and I believe she has the power to heal you. I believe the power of love。 In addition, my subordinates have heard that there are people with excellent medical skills in Jinyun Mountain, but their whereabouts are very hidden, and we need to look for them. ”

"Hehe, you're such a strange person, you seem to be very Romantic. Do you think we really don't have to be kind? ”

"No, of course we have to take care of it, if we don't take care of kindness, then how can we be human? It's just that I don't agree with the idea that the Chinese confuse love and affection. The kindness you owe to Jiaqi can be repaid with other things, such as money. Why should you pay back the happiness of your life? ”

Zhou Ruikang shook his head and sighed: "Maybe what you said has some truth, but this kind of thinking doesn't work in China, and Jiaqi doesn't care about money." ”

"I know that she cares about you as a person, she loves you, and wants to possess you for the rest of her life with kindness, with all due respect, I don't approve of such possession. Love must be the love of both men and women, and marriage should also be built on this basis. I can't imagine sharing a bed with someone I don't love. ”

Zhou Ruikang sighed heavily, although he agreed with Song Yuanyang's Western theory of marriage and love, but in fact, he still felt that Song Yuanyang's set was less humane and too indifferent, and "Embi Mountain is high, and he promises to each other" is still the idea of most Chinese. Ruikang has also decided that as long as Jiaqi doesn't mention divorce, he won't mention it anymore, no matter what, the title of Mrs. Zhou Ruikang is what Jiaqi deserves, and it is also something he can repay Jiaqi and give Jiaqi.

The long sigh between the two made Ruikang feel a lot brighter, and unconsciously reminded him of his classmate and friend many years ago, Xu Ziyan, who was once a wise confidant, and he was the first to discover the affection between himself and Ruojun, but unfortunately Xu Ziyan doesn't know where he is now, and Ruikang is looking forward to the day when he will reunite with Xu Ziyan.

//

The weather in early autumn was very refreshing, Ruojun squatted next to the vegetable patch and pulled weeds, Xiao Nian'an sat in a chair, playing with toys there, gurgling in his mouth, making some strange sounds.

Ruojun was talking to him while pulling weeds, picked up a radish and raised it in front of Nian'an, saying, "Nian'an, this is a radish, a radish...... Bu ......"

Nian An stretched out his hand to grab it, and said happily: "Bo...... bo…… ......" shouted, making Ruojun giggle and kiss his little face deeply.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and someone spoke: "Yo, it's changed." They have all built hedges. It seems that he is planning to stay for a long time. ”

As soon as Ruojun turned around, he saw Song Yuanyang standing at the door, Ruikang standing behind him on crutches, his heart was about to jump out of his throat, he rushed up, opened the door of the fence, and welcomed the two of them in.

"Mr. Song, Ruikang!"

"Ruojun!" Ruikang heard Ruojun's voice and called out excitedly.

His eyes were still cloudy, his chin was slightly raised, and he reached out to search for her figure in the air, she was busy holding his hand, and he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

What is love? What is Acacia? They forgot their reserve, they forgot their pain, they forgot about others, her heart returned, her soul returned, she forgot the whole world for a while, she hugged his neck excitedly, and kissed him.

"Oh my God, are you really in front of me? Am I not dreaming? She held his face and looked at it carefully.

"Really, really." A mist fell over his excited eyes.

The two kissed passionately, until Song Yuanyang on the side smiled and coughed lightly: "Hey, hey, hey, although I've seen too many of this kind of scene a long time ago, but please, take care of me as a bachelor." ”

Ruojun blushed and let go of Ruikang, but Ruikang didn't care so much, he still hugged her shoulders tightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry about him, he grew up abroad, so he won't care about this." ”

Song Yuanyang laughed and lit a cigarette, Ruojun was very happy for their arrival.

After entering the wooden house, Song Yuanyang realized that Ding Xiaohui had left.

"Ding Xiaohui is gone?"

Ruojun nodded wistfully while making them tea: "Yes, the day after I came back from the 'Homesick Garden', he left. ”

The three of them were silent for a moment, and Ruojun took out a plate of "plum blossom cake" and some melon seeds and peanuts to entertain them.

"Hey, I didn't expect Ding Xiaohui to have such a bearing." Song Yuanyang took a sip of tea and shook his head: "It's rare, it's rare." ”

"It's me who is sorry for him." Ruojun looked out the window and sighed quietly.

Ruikang gently pulled her to sit beside him, took her hand and said, "Because he knows that the person in your heart is me." He's an amazing man, and I'm grateful that he's taken care of you mother and son for so long. He's also a fierce rival, and to be honest, if he hadn't left on his own, I wasn't sure you would still want me. ”

Ruojun smiled miserably, yes, she didn't have the courage to break with Ding Xiaohui, if Ding Xiaohui didn't leave, she might continue to maintain their marriage, and bury her love for Ruikang deeply.

Song Yuanyang ate a few pieces of "plum blossom cake" and praised it, and said in surprise: "Ruojun, your craftsmanship is really amazing, in addition to this, what other pastries do you make?" ”

Ruojun snapped his fingers a little shyly and said: "There are not many kinds, about a dozen, 'lotus cake', 'green wicker', 'pineapple cake', 'sun cake', 'peach powder steamed'......"

"Wow, hey, you know so much, why do you only make plum blossom cakes for me?" Ruikang screamed, interrupting her.

Ruojun whispered: "I only know that you like to eat plum blossom cakes." ”

Ruikang shook his head, rolled his eyes and said, "Stupid Ruojun, you haven't made it for me to eat, how do you know that I only like to eat plum blossom cakes?" I don't care, from now on, you have to make them for me one by one, and I will eat everything. If you want a different paragraph every day, you are not allowed to repeat it. ”

Ruojun laughed out loud: "Okay, good, I'll do it, but many raw materials are difficult to buy now." ”

"Hey, you don't have to worry about the raw materials, you write down the things you need, and I'll buy them, but you also have to make a copy for me. Treat me, the old man under the moon who climbs up and down, right? Song Yuanyang said with a smile.

"It's a trivial thing to make a snack, but what's so embarrassing about just letting you break the bank?" Ruojun said embarrassedly, she didn't know how rich Song Yuanyang was, although from what he was wearing, she knew that his identity must be different.

"Alas, it's a trifle." Song Yuanyang smiled and waved his hand, looked at the cabin and said, "It's better to move down the mountain." You can't live in the mountains with your children all the time. ”

"Yes, yes, Ruojun, come back to me." Ruikang took her hand tightly, and said anxiously that he had forgotten about the problem between them again.

Ruojun shook his head and said, "No, I'm very calm here, and I'm living well with my child." I don't want to go down the hill and I don't want to get involved in other people's families. As he spoke, he gently pulled his hand from Ruikang's palm.

As soon as she said this, Ruikang was silent, he hadn't found a solution to the problem yet, what qualifications did he have to ask her to go back with him? Jiaqi became so mean and jealous, Master Zhou's attitude was unclear, Jiawei would never accept Ruojun, and now letting Ruojun go back with the child is undoubtedly putting her mother and son on the cusp.
