1. Once returned
Mu Xin got off the plane, poured into the hall with the flow of people, and after the security check, she immediately called Empress Yu - not for missing, but for a promise - a promise that is well fulfilled. After a few beeps, the phone was connected, and she chuckled and said, "Queen Yu, I'm in Huaning." ”
A mellow and beautiful female voice came from the other end of the phone, which was familiar and harsh to Mu Xin, she was stunned for a long time, looking at the silver-white signboard opposite and a little at a loss.
"Mu Xin, are you listening?"
"I'm here, if Empress Yu is not available, I don't want him to listen to the phone, can I trouble the senior sister to tell me?"
Gu Ling responded with a "yes", the phone had already hung up, and her heart suddenly became stuffy, what she had been worried about for so long finally happened.
After handing over the wet clothes to Cangye, she handed the phone back to the man on the sofa who was engrossed in reading the magazine, and said, "Queen Yu, she's back." ”
"Who?" Empress Yu looked up and looked at her speechless.
Gu Ling smiled bitterly and asked, "You went to the United States to see her five years ago, and she turned you away, why did you come back and let you know again?" ”
Empress Yu raised her hand to pull the broken hair between her sideburns behind her ears, and she came back to look for him, but she just wanted to ask for a fairness, but this fairness - if she could get it back, it would have been hers a long time ago. He had already said that he could give her anything but marriage, including love.
"You don't have to worry, she's never right from wrong."
Hung up the phone, raised her eyes to see that the sky was crisp and blue, the wind was blowing, raising her black and soft curls, Mu Xin took a greedy breath, this scene, just like eight years ago, when she was eighteen years old, leaving the most unpretentious land she loved the most......
At that time, on the vigorous branches at the entrance of the village, Mu Xin was lazily leaning against the branches, and the breeze blew on her face, which made her feel a little cooler.
Not long after, Aunt Li hurried back from the entrance of the village, "Miss, the car has arrived." ”
Aunt Li's tone was a little different from usual, more respectful and less close, she didn't want to break her disguise, afraid that she would not be able to help hugging her and crying.
"Well, have the things already been moved?" She asked casually, climbing the branch with one hand, supporting the trunk with the other, and then turning around with agility, and in an instant, it landed firmly on the ground, and the fine dust fell.
Aunt Li stretched out her hand and carefully patted the leaves off her shoulder, her movements were as gentle and considerate as usual, the movements she was used to were now extremely eye-catching, her heart was warm, but the words were choked in her throat and could not be spoken.
"Miss, take good care of yourself when you go over there, don't be stubborn about everything, be patient in everything, and don't suffer if you protect yourself. Don't worry about us two old men, study hard. ”
She thought about it, and wanted to say that she would report her safety when she arrived, make a phone call when she was free, and come back often if she could, but the old lady said: The boss should be from Huaning, and she should go and let others see what the child brought out by my old lady is like, I would rather she never go back to this corner of the place!
She should have gone back a long time ago, but there are some things she doesn't want to face, but people always have to face them when they grow up, even if they are devastated, even if they look at it, they are frightened and painful.
"Well, Aunt Li, you're tired for a day, go back. When it came to my call. ”
Aunt Li nodded hurriedly, "Okay." ”
Uncle Li didn't come to see her off, I heard Aunt Li say that it was probably early in the morning that she went to the mountain, and a big man who sent her away couldn't help crying, afraid that he would lose the face of the old Li family.
At the entrance of the village, it is still the familiar fragrance of gardenias, and when she takes a deep breath and smells it, she is full of fragrant fragrance, she greedily wants to keep it, but she escapes with her breath.
Looking around, the rolling hills rose and fell, which was the dark green barrier for the village, the blue sky was mixed with white ribbon-like cotton, the clouds and smoke in the distance were entangled, and the faint hut behind the mountain bushes was hazy in her eyes, and the corners of her eyes were sour unconsciously.
She got into the car, the driver was Lao Chen, who often came to pick her up from school, Lao Chen glanced at her and said, "Don't be sad, if you have time, you will come back, the old lady looks hard and tough, don't worry too much." ”
She just said "let's go" with a blank face, and the car quickly drove off the country road.
When she arrived in Huaning City, it was already five o'clock in the evening, and the car stopped in front of a luxurious villa. Uncle Chen called someone to carry all the luggage to the second floor, and then she slowly stepped into the courtyard.
The housekeeper Wang Ma was sweeping the floor in the yard, and when she saw her coming, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over to help her get something, and said with a smile as she walked inside: "Miss, you are back, let Wang Ma see that she has grown taller again!" ”
"yes, it's a lot higher." She replied with a smile.
After her mother passed away, the old lady went back to the countryside to escape the world, Aunt Li was unwilling to serve Chen Yun's mother and daughter and went back, and Wang Ma stayed because she had a little granddaughter to take care of and couldn't leave Huaning.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, a pungent smell broke into her nose, she frowned, and looked towards the wall, and sure enough, the wall was full of all kinds of plants, purple and red, really dazzling.
"Wang Ma," she called to Wang Ma, who was walking in front, and covered her mouth and nose in disgust, "I'll find someone to clean these up later." ”
"Mom, it's my sister back!" Before Mama Wang could respond to the trail, a cheerful cry came, and when she looked up, she saw that immature little face, full of sweet smiles, wasn't it her half-sister Duan Ran who spoke?
She smiled slightly, and before she calmed down, a force crashed into her, accompanied by louder cheers, it turned out to be Duan Zhen, and the little girl kept stuffing her head into her arms, "Sister, you are finally back, the flu was serious a while ago, Dad and Auntie didn't let me go back to see grandma, I really miss you, by the way, did Aunt Li let you bring me salted eggs?" ”
"Bring it, Aunt Li forgot anything and won't forget your birthday gift, but you are so happy at the end of the summer vacation, it's really a long time to see!"
"Oh roar, can't I be a scholar?"
"I'm afraid the change from learning boredom to learning music can't be completed in two months, this kind of thing, I'm afraid I'm thinking too much."
"Sister, you are back, my mother has been looking forward to your return, and I made a table of dishes today, all of which you like to eat!" Duan Ran walked towards the two of them, and when she saw Wang Ma hesitating by the flower bed, she smiled and said to Wang Ma, "Wang Ma, my sister doesn't like flowers, so clean them up, I will tell my mother." ”
"Then it's going to trouble Wang's mother." Mu Xin tugged at the corners of her mouth and hugged Duan Hao past Duan Ran into the house.
In the living room, Duan Lin was discussing something with a few people, showing a hypocritical smile from time to time, and when he saw Mu Xin coming in, Duan Lin hurriedly stopped her, "Xin'er, come here." ”
"What's the matter?" Her voice was cold, but she turned her head slightly to look at them, and sitting in the middle was a young man, dressed in a decent suit and leather shoes, with a high nose, deep eyes, thin lips, and a little messy bangs on her forehead, but still with a good demeanor......
