Chapter 153: Coming Home
Lin Qingrou didn't know where her home was, or whether she still had a home now. In Xiushan, she has a luxurious residence, and she can get up every day to look at the blue sea and blue sky, but it is not her home, just a place to work.
In Gaoyang, Lin Qingrou can live with her brother Lin Qinghe, but it is not her home, it is more just a boarder, does she still have a home now?
Originally, the place where her son Du Lin was her Lin Qingrou's home. However, she can no longer step into the door of the Du family, where she has her own son, but unfortunately there is no place for herself.
Song Miao saw the loss in Lin Qingrou's expression, and didn't know if she had said something wrong. So, she deliberately diverted the topic and chatted casually with Lin Qingrou, and the topics of the two were scattered and inconsequential.
Lin Qingrou remembered that she hadn't seen Jiang He for a while, so she asked Song Miao about the recent situation between her and Jiang He.
Song Miao said: "Since the last time there was a doctor-patient dispute, and he was injured a little because of it, now it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and the hospital leaders transferred Jiang He back to the original department. This way, we don't have to be busy like we were in the emergency department before, and we finally have time to watch a movie and have dinner together. ”
Lin Qingrou remembered the previous farce, and couldn't help but sweat for Jiang He. Nowadays, people are too impetuous, and many times they act impulsively without considering the consequences. Coming out of the training class with Song Miao, it was already early, and Song Miao asked Lin Qingrou where she was going to stay at night.
Lin Qingrou thought for a moment and told Song Miao that she wanted to go home.
Song Miao didn't know where Lin Qingrou's home was, so she asked, "Are you talking about your brother's apartment?" Shall I drive you there? ”
Lin Qingrou shook her head.
Song Miao thought for a moment in confusion, and then asked again in surprise: "Do you want to go back to Du Zeming?" ”
Lin Qingrou still shook her head.
"I want to go back to where I used to live." Lin Qingrou finished typing on her mobile phone and handed it to Song Miao.
"Where did you live? Where's that? Song Miao asked.
The home that Lin Qingrou said was the original Lin family's old house. After the Lin Group went bankrupt and his parents died, the house was mortgaged by Lin Qinghe.
After that, Lin Qingrou never went back there, although the house was mortgaged, it did not affect normal living.
However, Lin Qingrou married into the Du family, so she had no chance to return to that old mansion to live, and she never dared to face the house where she grew up, because her father and mother left her one after another there.
And Lin Qinghe left the Lin family since he was a child, so he didn't live in the Lin family's old mansion originally, from boarding in school to buying a house outside, he rarely appeared in the Lin family's old house, except for a long time ago when the family got together for the holidays, Lin Qinghe would be forced to go to the old mansion by Lin Bojie.
Due to these various reasons, the Lin family's old house has always been vacant, so that it has become a deserted and forgotten house.
At this time, Lin Qingrou suddenly wanted to go to the Lin family's old mansion to have a look, because she remembered that her only home was there. No matter whether you have experienced the changes of the world or not, no matter how heavy the pain you have witnessed there, it is your home after all!
Seeing that Lin Qingrou insisted on going, Song Miao had no choice but to drive her over.
"I don't want you to go so far away in the suburbs alone." Song Miao said emphatically while driving.
The old house of the Lin family is near a beautiful suburban countryside, which is said to be a suburb, but in fact, it is only half an hour's drive. Song Miao drove off the ramp from the main road, and at the end of the road between the fields not far away, a three-story courtyard-style building appeared, which was the old mansion of the Lin family.
Lin Qingrou seemed a little excited, because she was afraid of recalling those unbearable pains, so she had always refused to come to this place where she had lived since childhood.
The car drove through the rural path, and it was pitch black and blank on both sides.
But Lin Qingrou remembered very clearly that it was originally planted with blue-purple lavender, and patches of lavender flowers exuded a fragrant smell.
Because my mother likes to plant flowers and plants, the original Lin family's old house is a world of flowers surrounded by colorful colors.
That kind of scene of a hundred flowers competing for beauty and vitality when it comes to the season is a happy memory that Lin Qingrou will never forget for the rest of her life, she used to live in such a fairy tale world.
Song Miao heard the car in the open space at the door of the house, and by the light of the headlights, they saw that the surroundings were overgrown with weeds and desolate.
Song Miao said with some regret: "I really shouldn't have promised you, it's not a good idea to come here at night." ”
Lin Qingrou showed an apologetic expression towards Song Miao. Song Miao shrugged helplessly, since he had already arrived here with him, he had no choice but to get out of the car. Lin Qingrou quickly walked to the door of the house, and then after thinking for a while, she bent down and groped up.
Song Miao asked suspiciously, "Don't tell me, you don't have the key here." ”
Lin Qingrou didn't pay attention to it, just looked for something in some potted plants placed at the door. Song Miao took out her mobile phone and turned on the flashlight to help Lin Qingrou illuminate this area, only to see Lin Qingrou lift up the potted plants one by one to see if there was anything under the base.
"No, after all this time, are you sure the key is still here?" Song Miao asked in disbelief.
But before she finished speaking, Lin Qingrou had already straightened up all of a sudden, and there was an extra delicate key in her hand, Lin Qingrou opened the door with the key, and was greeted by a smell of mold and dust.
Song Miao choked a few mouthfuls and complained casually, and when Lin Qingrou found the light, the whole room was instantly lit up.
Song Miao saw that they were standing in the living room right now, and the furniture in the room didn't seem to have been moved, and they still maintained the same appearance as when they were inhabited. Lin Qingrou's eyes revealed infinite emotion, and her eyes were attracted by a piano in the corner of the living room.
She slowly walked to the piano, touched the mottled and dusty keys, and the memories of the past came flooding back to her eyes. remembers that this is a birthday gift that Lin Qingrou bought for her when she was 8 years old.
At that time, her mother taught her to practice playing the piano every day, sometimes she was not sensible, and often felt bored after practicing for a while, so she would play perfunctorily.
But his father never demanded Lin Qingrou harshly, and he just smiled when he watched Lin Qingrou's little hands knock randomly on the wide keys.
Mother will be stricter, she always tells Lin Qingrou that girls should have an elegant temperament. When I learned to play the piano, I had to practice playing the violin, and I couldn't fall behind in learning to draw and learn chess.
My father always smiled and said that our family Qingrou must be a talented girl who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the future, and if anyone can marry her in the future, it must be a blessing for eight lifetimes.
Thinking about it now, Lin Qingrou couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. Dad, you must be sad, I live my life like this now, a failed marriage, a difficult life, it's a sad life.
Lin Qingrou was a little emotionally out of control, but she also tried her best to suppress the tears that flowed from her eyes. Song Miao looked at Lin Qingrou sympathetically from the side and handed her the tissue.
When Song Miao boiled some hot water from the kitchen, Lin Qingrou was already sitting on the sofa in the living room, and her mood finally calmed down. Song Miao handed Lin Qingrou a cup of hot water and sat down herself.
"It must have been painful, although I was lucky not to have had such a while. But seeing you like this, I really feel distressed. Song Meow said.
Lin Qingrou turned around and shook Song Miao's hand, and said thank you with her mouth.
Song Miao comforted you very intimately, and then said: "I believe that my uncle and aunt have been paying attention to you in heaven and hope that you will live a happy life, so you must be strong and strive to live a wonderful life." Although they are no longer able to be with you, they have left you a lot of valuable treasures. ”
When Lin Qingrou heard Song Miao's words, she seemed to be reminded of something. She subconsciously stood up and looked around the room.
"What's wrong?" Song Miao asked puzzled.
Lin Qingrou quickly wrote a line on her phone: "I'm looking for a power of attorney, it's very important, it's something my father cherishes very much." ”
Song Miao nodded and said, "Are you sure this power of attorney will be here?" I'll help you find it. ”
Of course, Lin Qingrou is not sure whether the authorization letter for beach management is stored in this old mansion. But if you think about it, since it is not in the safe in the company office, where would my father put such an important thing?
After all, it is safer to put it at home, after all, the Lin Group was facing bankruptcy at that time, and the company was also very chaotic, and the power of attorney that was regarded as hope by the father was not placed in the company, so it was very likely to be at home.
Thinking like this, Lin Qingrou searched more carefully. But after all, it was a paper document, and she had never seen what it looked like, so it seemed aimless and impractical to look for it like this.
"If it's that important, do you think it will be stored in some more hidden place?" Song Miao followed Lin Qingrou to rummage through the bookshelves in the study, and asked Lin Qingrou.
"Qingrou, do you remember if there are any secret compartments or secret rooms in your house? I watch a wealthy family like you on TV, there must be a place like that at home, right? ”
Lin Qingrou shook her head very definitely when she heard Song Miao's question, she had the impression that when she was a child, she had turned over all the corners and corners of her home, and there should not be such a hidden place, and she was just suspicious, not necessarily that things were here.
