Ruojun thought for a while, turned to look at Song Yuanyang and said, "Yuanyang, can you help me, I think the people in Ruikang's family are not very familiar with me, so you say that I was invited by you to cook." I can stay in my subordinate's room, and I won't let him see me, and you tell him that I've gone back, and I'll cook for him every day, and stay with him from afar, and I'll be at ease. ”

Jiaqi stood up, walked to the window, took her hand, shook her head and said, "You can't let go of him in your heart." You still love him, don't you? ”

"I don't want to think about love or not, I just want him to live now. I'm going to take care of him. Yuanyang, you can arrange it for me, how can he be alone like this? I'm going to accompany him, even if it's far away. She said resolutely.

So, the next day, Song Yuanyang and Cheng Jiaqi ran to Zhou Ruikang and said that they had sent Ruojun back to China, so that he could recuperate with peace of mind, and said some words of comfort to him. Ruikang was in a very low mood, his face was even paler, and he didn't say a few words, and then lay down to rest.

For a long time, Ruikang didn't have the heart to take care of the trivial affairs at home, Song Yuanyang was already his big housekeeper, so when he arranged Ruojun in the kitchen, no one doubted that Song Yuanyang gave her an English name: Jenny. Ruojun was very happy, she felt that this arrangement was the best, not only did not have to get too close to Ruikang, but also could take care of his diet.

Ruojun is in the kitchen every day, happily busy, cooking some light and delicious meals for Ruikang, she doesn't know if Ruikang will be good, but she can only do her best. And cooking for him is the most pleasant thing she finds to be.

Ruojun wrote a letter to Shu Zhi and told him everything in England. Looking at the gold ring on her ring finger, she looked forward to Ruikang's speedy recovery, and she could go home as soon as possible to reunite with Shu Zhi and her children.

Because Ruojun is very good at the kitchen, the things she makes are delicious, and she soon became the chef in the kitchen, and the kitchen became her little world, where she cooks delicious food for Ruikang every day, and also cooks all kinds of delicious food for everyone, and she is gentle and gentle, and everyone likes her very much.

Ruikang rarely goes downstairs, and almost all three meals a day are done in his suite, and when the weather is good, he will let the servants help him out of the yard for a walk, and he will not pass the kitchen, Ruojun can see his back from a distance through the kitchen window.

Three months have passed, Ruojun's English level has been improving, and he can communicate with the foreign servants at home more smoothly, and he has bought a few books on nutrition and food to study.

Although Ruikang's condition is not improving, at least it has not deteriorated, the only intersection between her and him is that she cooks, he eats, she gets some information about him from the maid who serves Ruikang or Yao's mother every day, how he sleeps, whether he is warm enough, what he has done, whether he coughs more or less, and whether he has chest pain.

Living under the same roof, they never met again. This made Ruojun feel a lot more comfortable, concentrating on studying the format of the nutritional recipe every day, seeing him eat the food he made, occasionally looking at his back, and playing the game of Dingguo with her, she felt that such a day was very relaxed and happy.

Christmas is coming, there is a snow in the suburbs of London, the servants at home are starting to get busy, this is Ruojun's first time to participate in Christmas, the servants moved a pine tree that is almost two stories high, and the clothes up and down are decorated, Ruojun quietly ran to the living room door, curiously watching them decorate the home together, she felt new and beautiful.

In particular, those colorful flashing neon lights decorate the big houses that are usually empty, luxurious but somewhat indifferent, lively and full of life.

The kitchen was also busy, and everyone was in high spirits, and the long oval table in the dining room was covered with beautiful crochet tablecloths, which were filled with dazzling flowers, silver candlesticks, delicate enamel plates, sparkling sets of glasses, and shiny cutlery.

The crystal chandelier above the dining table is gorgeous and noble, reflecting fantastic colored light. Ruojun looked at all this stupidly, and was patted on the shoulder, it was a maid named Rose, and said with a smile: "Jenny, every year for dinner on Christmas Eve, Mr. will have dinner with us." We were also given gifts and money. Hurry up and change your clothes, I think Mr. will have a good reward for you tonight. ”

Rose smiled and left, Ruojun slowly walked back to the kitchen, and Yao's mother came over and said the same thing.

"Hey, Jenny, Mr. has been in good spirits these days, it's all your credit, you have to come tonight, every year Mr. will give each of us a big gift, don't miss it!"

Ruojun shook his head and said, "I may have a cold and my stomach is not upset, so I won't participate, and if Mr. asks, he will say that I am sick." ”

"Yo, that's a pity, okay, you go and rest, I'll get the gifts and money back for you." Yao's mother said.

"Okay, thank you."

Ruojun returned to the small room where the maid lived, and watched the goose-feathered snow fluttering in the air outside the window, as if he had returned to the far northeast, in the small courtyard of the Meng family, his own small home, although that home was not even comparable to half of the hall here, but it was full of his own expectations for life, so much love and passion, so much warmth and tenderness. She misses Shu Zhi and her own children. Especially Simei, she doesn't know what this little daughter will cry like without her mother? When she thought of this, her heart felt like someone was twisting, pinching, and grabbing the pain.

Stretching out her left hand, looking at the small thin gold ring on her ring finger, her heart sank, and she couldn't help frowning.

It's been half a year, it's been half a year since she left home, she wrote a lot of letters back, but they all fell into the sea, Shu Zhi didn't reply to a letter to herself, and what's even stranger is that there is no news of Nian'an. She didn't know what was going on at home, and she wanted to go back quickly. But deep in her heart, there is a trace of attachment to the bedroom on the second floor here.

She opened the drawer and took out the letter paper, and raised the pen again to write to Shu Zhi and Nian'an. The wind and snow outside the window are getting heavier and heavier, and there is a sound on the blowing window. Listening to the sound of the wind and snow, her heart returned to distant Shenyang......

Ruikang invited Song Yuanyang's family to come to the house for dinner, and at dinnertime, the Song family came.

"Hey, you look good." Song Yuanyang handed over the hat and coat to the servant and greeted Ruikang. Zhou Ruikang deliberately cleaned himself up today and put on a suit, although he was still weak, he looked at least much more energetic than wearing a nightgown.

"It's okay, I've been feeling better for the past two days. What about you? Where did the big holiday go? Ruikang asked with a smile and coughed lightly. Dingguo behind him had already played with Song Yuanyang's three children, and Helen was accompanying the children. With the laughter of the children, the big house suddenly became lively.

Song Yuanyang said with a smile: "I just came back from Cambridgeshire in the afternoon and talked about the tobacco business. ”

"Well, there's one thing I'm not sure about."

"What's wrong?"

"It's been a long time since Nian An has written to me. I want to ask, Ruojun really went back to China? ”

"Well, this ......." Song Yuanyang pushed down his glasses and said with some hesitation: "She's still in the UK." ”

"Really?" Ruikang was not very surprised, but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Hey, now this domestic movement, that movement, you really rest assured to let her go back! I'm worried about Xu Ziyan now. ”

"How could I want her to go back, it's just that there is someone she loves, there is her home, I don't have the strength to keep her heart, what's the point of leaving a shell?" Ruikang frowned and shook his head: "How is Ziyan?" ”

"I also know it from some overseas Chinese friends, saying that the current situation in China is a little incomprehensible, and I hope he is okay." Song Yuanyang and Zhou Ruikang are both people who are tired of politics, and the two shook their heads helplessly and did not talk any further.

"Where is Ruojun now?"

"Hehe, you kicked people out, and now you care about where they are, let me tell you the truth, are you happy to see her?" Song Yuanyang looked at him with his hands in front of his chest and asked.

"Happy, not happy, a lot of things have changed, she won't cry for me anymore, laugh for me, be crazy for me, I'm insignificant in her heart, but seeing her, my heart is much calmer, and I won't think about it every day like before." Ruikang coughed a few times, sat down on the sofa, and stretched out his hand to invite Song Yuanyang to sit down.

"Alas, what a pity. Sure enough, time has changed. Song Yuanyang brought the aperitif from the wine tray brought by the servant: "Don't worry, I will arrange her affairs." Since you've seen it too, don't inquire any further. ”

"Nian'an is my son after all, I can't ignore it. I was worried that he hadn't heard from him at all. If you see her, please ask if Nian'an is in contact with her, I just want to know if Nian'an is safe. ”

"Well, I'll ask her." Song Yuanyang said, Ruikang nodded.

"Alas, by the way, where did you find the chef who raised my family's diet by a few notches. Thank you so much. But tonight you have a good mouth, this chef is really good, both Chinese and Western food are surprisingly good. Strange how he would give in to me. ”

Song Yuanyang's eyes flickered, and he turned his gaze away and said, "Cough, you can always find talents if you have money." ”

"I just wonder why you didn't keep him in your own house." He coughed a few times.

"I'm not as picky as you, I'm just going to have enough to eat, and making money is my pleasure. Haha" Song Yuanyang easily changed the topic.

"You know what? The aloe vera honey Chuanbei juice he prepared for me was very good, and I don't know what he put in it, every time I drank it, I felt very comfortable. I'll let him make you a drink later. Ruikang smiled, and there was a kind of nostalgia in his eyes: "His craftsmanship reminds me of a person." Speaking of which, I haven't met this chef yet. I'm going to see you tonight. ”

"This ...... It doesn't matter if you see it or not, the chef, he cooks, you eat. Song Yuanyang said.

"Hehe, how did you ......"

Before she finished speaking, Yao's mother stepped forward and said, "Sir, it's time to have a banquet." ”

Ruikang nodded, pulled Song Yuanyang, and sat down together, every Christmas, Ruikang will let the servants of the whole family go to the table to have dinner with him and enjoy food together.

After writing a letter to Nian'an, smelling the smell of food in the room, Ruojun only felt hungry and regretted not bringing some food to the room. It was already dark outside the window. It was also a little cold in the house, so Ruojun added two pieces of firewood to the fireplace. Sitting in front of the stove with an English book in his hand and memorizing words.

"Jenny, Jenny!" Rose walked in and said, "Oh, you're really not going out?" The gentleman told you to make that aloe vera honey juice. Hurry up. ”

"Okay." She closed her book and went back to the kitchen, and she was also hungry, so she ate something while cooking in the kitchen.

As soon as the aloe vera juice was ready, Yao's mother came in again and said, "Jenny, Mr. wants to see you." ”

"No, no, no, I don't want to see him, I'm not feeling well, I'll go back to my room...... Tell him I'm sick. The aloe vera juice is ready, so let's take it out. I went back to my room. ”

Ruojun hurried back to the room, she was a little worried that Ruikang would run in, so she still locked the door.

However, her worries were superfluous, maybe Song Yuanyang was not very interested, or maybe Ruikang forgot, or maybe it was because Ruikang was a little physically exhausted and felt tired, in short, Ruikang did not insist on seeing the chef.

Just to express gratitude and recognition of her cooking skills, Ruikang asked Yao's mother to bring her a double red envelope and a gift. When I opened the gift box, there was a powder blue, light scarf, and a small card in the box read in English: "Merry Christmas Zhou Ruikang".

The next day, Ruojun went to the street to buy a pair of high-end cashmere gloves and wrapped them, and also attached a "Merry Christmas, please take care." Jenny's card was inside, and asked Yao's mother to transfer it to Ruikang on her behalf.

Although the days were peaceful, Ruojun's heart became more and more anxious, she didn't know what Meng Shuzhi was doing, why didn't she write a letter to herself? And Nian An...... She is becoming more and more like an arrow, but her fake passport was taken away by Song Yuanyang, and she doesn't even have a legal identity now, where can she go?

Ruikang's heart was also anxious, at least Nian'an would write to him to tell him some information before, but now that it has been more than half a year, there has been no news, and he began to think about it, wondering if Nian'an had an accident.

It wasn't until the second month that Ruikang received a letter from Nian'an, which made Ruikang so excited, trembling his hands, opening the letterhead, which read:

"Dear Daddy,

You and your mother's letters have been received, and the delay in replying is because there has been a change in the family, and my heart is very confused, and I don't know how to put it down.

I know you must be worried about my situation, so try to muster up the courage to write to you. But, Daddy, can you keep this letter a secret? Don't let my mother see it, I think if my mother sees it, she will be very sad.

Daddy, I really don't understand what love really is? You and your mother love each other but can't be together, but your mother and father are together, but they are ...... Ahem, I'll start from the beginning:

Since my mother left, my father has become taciturn, short-tempered, and drunk all day long, and I have tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail, and besides, he seems to be even more angry when he sees me, and I can only try to avoid him.

Sister Simei cried all day looking for her mother, I tried my best to coax her and play with him, but I was so tired that my homework regressed.

What's worse is that in the second month after my mother left, my father brought an aunt back, the same Aunt Xu Mengru who almost married my father.

They ate and talked together in the room until the next morning, when she left, and now she comes to our house almost every day, and as I write this, she is in her father's room.

I don't know how my dad could have become so terrible, he even smashed his wedding photos with his mother.

Daddy, I'm glad I'm reunited with you, because I know you love each other dearly.

I used to worry that after my mother was with you, I wouldn't want my father anymore, but now I don't want my mother to be with my father at all, my father has changed, I used to want my mother to come back soon, but now, I don't want her to come back at all.

If my mother comes back, she will be very sad and very sad.

Uncle Jiawei had already come to see me, he was so angry that he almost got into a fight with my father, and I told him that I would write to you and tell him not to worry, and that I would try my best to take care of Sister Simei.

Dad, I'm so confused right now...... I can't write anything more...... I'll write to you when I'm done with my midterm exams.

Oh, the book you sent has been received, thank you Daddy. I am very happy to know that your health is improving, and I hope that my father can recover as soon as possible, and grow old with my mother without separation.

Recite the word An

……”

After reading the letter, Ruikang was intuitively surprised and had a splitting headache, there was nothing to say, he was simply an unforgivable sin, and he once again destroyed Ruojun's happiness, because of himself, Shu Zhi who she left, left her cherished home, but now it is unrecognizable, her own home is simply a devil, if it weren't for herself, how happy she and Shu Zhi would be.

Meng Shuzhi derailed! He held the letter and held his forehead in pain, what should he do? What to do? His chest started to ache again, how long would he live? Ruojun, Nian'an, these two relatives who are related to him by blood, can he still have less strength and time to protect them and love them?

With a painful cough, he pulled out the "Merry Christmas, please take care" from the drawer. Jenny", Jenny? Hehe, stupid Ruojun, in fact, he had already guessed when he first ate the food she cooked, how could he forget that he was so familiar and attached to her cooking skills?

But he didn't want to see her, because he knew that she had fallen in love with someone else, he was hurt by her, he deliberately said that he wanted to see her at Christmas, and her evasion made him confirm that Jenny was Ruojun, until he received a Christmas gift, and the handwriting on this small card inside completely revealed her identity.

He didn't demolish her, he didn't see her, because he couldn't accept the fact that she didn't love him anymore, she loved Meng Shuzhi, she wanted to go home, she didn't want to stay here, she didn't want to stay by her side. This shattered the last dream of his life, she shattered his dream, and he couldn't forgive her.

But they also have a son, and no matter what, he has to discuss Nian'an's future with her. So he finally put on his thick cotton dressing gown, and went downstairs to the kitchen, where the people were about to call him, and he waved his hand to make them all stand down.
