The lotus leaves are infinitely green, the lotus flowers are different red, and when she smells the familiar fragrance of rice and lotus, and when she sees the water town in front of her eyes connected to the sky, Tan Yin's heart finally settled.

At Suzhou Station, Tan Jun, who has been home for more than half a month, is sweating profusely and waiting for his wife and daughter here.

When Tan Yin saw her father, tears rolled in her eyes, Tan Jun didn't say much, and touched her daughter's head, "Let's go home." ”

Mrs. Tan's mother and daughter and the Gao family were inseparably separated, and when they got home, it was already dark, so they simply had dinner.

After dinner, Tan Yin stood by her pond, the sky full of stars and rivers, like jewels inlaid in the black jade sky. The pond is full of summer lotus, and a gust of evening breeze blows, and the fragrance is fragrant, which makes this hot summer night much cooler.

There was a sound behind him, and Tan Yin turned around and saw that it was his father.

Tan Jun stood side by side with her, standing under the starry night, facing a pool of lotus flowers.

"Dad, isn't my daughter stupid and useless." Tan Yin said quietly.

"How could my daughter be useless, she is so sober, so strong, so decisive, Dad is very proud of you." Tan Jun looked at her sideways and said.

Tan Yin choked up, tears couldn't stop flowing, she wiped it with her hand, cried and laughed and said, "Dad, I'm sad." ”

Tan Jun hugged his daughter and patted her on the back, "Dad knows, it will pass, it will pass." ”

Tan Yin cried for a while, finally stopped crying, looked up and said, "Dad, did you already know that I couldn't make it with him, so why didn't you dissuade me." ”

Tan Jun sighed, "It's not that it won't work out, but your mother and I have been worried that something will happen." ”

"What's going on?" Tan Yin remembered her parents' previous hesitation.

"Li Zheng's mother is very strong, and he himself is also very ambitious, he will never be willing to be subordinate, and he will not give up any opportunity. If Li Zheng didn't have a middle jinshi, once he was in high school, our Tan family would not help him, even if Li Zheng had affection for you, but his mother ......"

Tan Yin was silent for a while, and seemed to have an understanding: "Speaking of which, I, a country girl, are not worthy of him as a jinshi." ”

Tan Yin looked at Tan Yin distressedly and said, "My daughter is kind, brave and strong, and can be worthy of anyone in this world." ”

"Dad, I know you're comforting me, I'm just a country girl, not very beautiful, not very talented, and no illustrious family background to rely on." Tan Yin pursed her lips and said in frustration.

"Yin'er, you're drilling the horns, what's wrong with the country girl? Is it because Li Zheng is looking for another high, you have even forgotten your own background. ”

Tan Yin was drunk by her father, yes, she was originally a country girl, she has never changed, and the person who has changed is Li Zheng.

Tan Yin said ashamedly: "Dad, it's me who is stunned." ”

Tan Jun was also very sad when he saw his daughter like this, "Do you still hate Li Zheng?" ”

Tan Yin began to nod, and slowly shook her head again, "I hated him for his treachery at first, but now ...... I don't seem to hate it so much now. ”

"Yin'er, there are millions of people in this world, everyone thinks differently, we can't control what others think, but we have to grasp ourselves."

Tan Yin nodded, what do they think, they have no ability to interfere, but they can choose how to deal with it. can choose to continue to be filial to Li's mother and be a flat wife. You can also choose to break it in two, and break it completely.

Tan Jun saw that his daughter understood, and continued: "Confucianism says knowing fate, Buddhism says cause and effect, and Taoism says nature, all of which mean the same thing, that is, everything pays attention to fate, and it is reluctant. ”

"Li Zheng has no formal marriage contract with you, he chose Miss Everyone for the future, the fate of the two of you ends here, this is his choice, and it is also the path he wants to take, reluctantly."

Tan Yin understood what her father meant, even though she already understood it in her heart, she had to admit in her heart that Li Zheng would not have her in her future life, and her life path would not have him again.

Tan Jun patted her on the shoulder, "I know you'll figure it out, it just takes time." Don't resent Li Zheng, and don't let him influence you, he is already behind you, but your path is ahead. ”

"Yin'er, you are smart and studious, and you have been well-read since you were a child; Kind and capable, the heart of the doctor and the parents, has cured many people; Clear-headed and decisive, Dad used to worry that you would be stuck in it, but you can see the future clearly, and when you decide, you will be decisive.

"You can't be vain and feel sorry for yourself just because Li Zheng gave up. Don't forget at any time that you are my Tan Jun's daughter Tan Yin. ”

Tan Jun had never praised Tan Yin like this, Tan Yin heard his father's words, choked back tears, and nodded heavily.

……

Tan Yin sorted out her clothes in the room, the lotus pink shirt from the neon clothes shop was still so good-looking, and the other blue shirt was ...... It's hot, so I guess it's all put away. Tan Yin quickly folded her clothes and put them at the bottom of the box.

Honeysuckle wears a short shirt, she is different from the average maid of a large family, she looks slender, like a small lady. Her body is quite strong and well-proportioned, her legs and hands are very strong, she is both smart and sharp, and everyone around her envies the Tan family for finding such a good subordinate.

Honeysuckle was pulling weeds in the medicine garden, Tan Yin saw her from the window, and hurriedly changed her clothes to go out, the two pulled out the weeds on the medicine garden and the flower garden, and the next day they loosened the soil well, and thoroughly cleaned the house and the yard, and worked for several days.

Tan Jun and his wife saw that Tan Yin was busy as soon as she came back, and they found a lot of things for themselves, and the two of them were also a lot more relieved.

……

On this day, Honeysuckle came back from outside, carried a basket on his arm, and saw Tan Yin sitting on a stool under the eaves, with both hands on her cheeks.

Honeysuckle walked up to her and shook her hand in front of her eyes before she came back to her senses.

"It's you!" Tan Yin said listlessly: "Many people are not here, I am really bored, even Zhang Ziqing is not there." ”

"Miss Axiu went to her aunt's house, and she will be back in two months, and you have been separated from her for so long, and these two months are more! Ziqing Gongzi is also older, he stayed in Jinling to study, and you are now a man and a woman. ”

"You reminded me of this, I went to Ah Xiu's house a few days ago, and after knowing that she was not there, I took two steps to Zhang Ziqing's house to see if he was there, and his mother looked at me with strange eyes, I was still very puzzled at the time, but now I finally understand."

Tan Yin always felt that she was friends with Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ziqing, and now that the news of her and Li Zheng must be known to everyone in the village, a girl's family went to find a guy, and the mother of the other family inevitably had some ideas.

"Miss Ah Xiu will come back eventually, you see what I have prepared, and I will sacrifice our Five Organs Temple at noon."

Tan Yin looked at the basket, good guy, there was a rooster that had killed a good belly, a big white water fish one foot long, fresh whitebait, live shrimp, and a small basket of water chestnuts.

Honeysuckle said triumphantly: "I'm going to make a braised chicken nugget water chestnut, steamed white water fish, then a fried shrimp, whitebait scrambled eggs, vegetables are garlic water spinach, and finally a broad bean and rice egg drop soup." This meat, vegetarian, steamed, fried, fried, braised are available, white, red, green, yellow and all kinds of colors are complete. ”

"Okay, good, our honeysuckle chef is the most capable, my saliva is about to flow out!" Tan Yin flattered.

"You help me pick up the water spinach, peel out the water chestnut, eat the tender raw, and boil the old one out and braise it. When you go back home, you can eat whatever you want. "Honeysuckle is happy.

Honeysuckle was so happy, and it also infected Tan Yin.

At noon, the family gathered around to eat.

Mrs. Tan said to Tan Yin: "In a few days, I want to go to Suzhou City and make some clothes for your father and a few of us." Aren't you talking about the mansion of Zhang Ge's hometown, and the Li family's soup dumplings! Pour when we're together. ”

Honeysuckle was about to jump up with joy when he heard the Li family's soup dumplings.

…

In the past few days, the couple has been worried about their daughter, both of them sighed, and Mrs. Tan regretted it even more in her heart.

"I knew that I wouldn't go to Beijing, and I directly refused this family matter, which also saved Yin'er from suffering this crime." Mrs. Tan said hatefully, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted by her and almost knotted.

Tan Jun was very annoyed when he saw his wife, and comforted: "This is hindsight, the past is over, but fortunately, it's not too late." ”

"What's so good that it's not too late? As soon as I remembered that Yin'er's sin was still sent by me tightly, my heart felt like I had been cut by a knife. Mrs. Tan wiped her tears and said.

Tan Jun shook his head, his brows furrowed, "Don't be annoyed, I still let you go, if you want to blame, blame me." Sooner or later, she will suffer this sin, but sooner or later, sooner or later, sooner than later. ”

Mrs. Tan paused her tears and asked, "What do you mean!" ”

"Yin'er and Li Zheng are in love, the two of them are like glue, even if we stop us, won't they blame us at that time, they always think that we have ruined their good deeds, even if they start a family in the future, but with resentment and regret, do you say you can live a good life!"

"Now they know that they are not suitable for each other, and it is better to have a long pain than a short pain."

Mrs. Tan understood now, remembering Li Zheng's letters before and after, and her courtesy when she went to Beijing, she said regretfully: "Speaking of which, Li Zheng is a good boy, and he is also sincere to Yin'er, that is, his mother is really ......."

Tan Jun sighed: "If Li Zheng wasn't sincere to Yin'er, how could I be so hesitant and let you go to Beijing." ”

Mrs. Tan has always admired her husband and said: "You are right, but people are not as good as heaven, I didn't expect to kill a Miss Wang halfway. ”

Mrs. Tan felt sorry when she thought about it. Tan Jun frowned, thinking about something.

"Later, Yin'er knew about that Miss Wang, Li Zheng said that it was just his mother's meaning, he would never dare to have this heart, I also persuaded Yin'er to come at the time, who knew that she was like an iron heart, Li Zheng came a few times later, and she didn't see her." Mrs. Tan muttered.

When Tan Jun heard this, his constricted brows relaxed.
