The driver of the palace family arrived on time at the old house of the palace where the old man lived, located in a courtyard house in the old city of Beijing, the old man missed the old and lived here for a lifetime, and after his son and daughter-in-law moved to the new home, he stayed in the old house alone.

Usually there are part-time workers around to cook and clean, and the old man is idle alone, and he is happy to raise flowers and herbs at home.

The alleys of the courtyard were too narrow, and after the driver's car stopped at the intersection, he got out of the car and walked to the gate of the old palace of the Gong family.

The door was ajar, and he walked in sideways, and saw the old man sitting in the gazebo in the courtyard with a cane, looking anxiously waiting.

"The old man has been waiting for a long time, hasn't he?"

The driver, Xiao Zhang, stepped forward with a smile and stood up with the old man Gong.

"That's not it, if I wasn't too old to drive on the road, I would have gone there alone.

But you, have you seen my precious granddaughter? ”

The old man is now thinking about his granddaughter, and he really can't wait to fly over directly.

"This ...... Not yet, but I've always heard Gong Ming talk about her, she's a smart girl, oh yes, it seems that she can also heal. ”

"Healing? Really? ”

His ancestors had studied medicine for several generations, and he thought that his son would inherit his medical skills and carry forward his ancestral foundation.

Unexpectedly, my son had no interest in medical matters at all.

What kind of company has I made, and it has been prosperous over the years.

finally waited for his son to get married, his daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, and the first child was a son, and he was very happy.

pinned his hopes on his grandson to study medicine, and found that his grandson was really smart, but when it came to studying medicine, he had a terrible headache and even nosebleeds.

I went to the hospital for several check-ups, and they all said that they were fine, but as soon as he studied and did something related to medicine, he would have inexplicable nosebleeds......

The old man had no choice but to give up, and then his daughter-in-law gave birth to a second child, a particularly delicate-looking female doll.

The old man was very happy, so he went to the temple to ask for peace jade for the two children.

One child per child, the grandson's jade pendant is engraved with an inscription, and the granddaughter's jade pendant is engraved with Lin.

It's just that he never thought that his baby granddaughter would suddenly be lost one day, so many years have passed.

Still no news......

The car stopped smoothly outside the palace villa, and the driver Xiao Zhang got out of the car first, then opened the door, and helped the old man get out of the car.

"Hey, you don't have to help me up, I can do it myself."

The old man broke free from the driver's support, and he was on crutches with a pair of legs upside down quite quickly.

When they arrived in the living room, their daughter-in-law and son were already waiting, and they saw the old man walk in.

Hurriedly got up: "Dad, you're here, sit down." ”

Ye Ling'er stood up and took the initiative to step forward to help the old man.

"Don't fix all this superfluous, but you should tell me about Lin'er in detail, where did you find Lin'er, hey, I'm dying."

"Dad, you sit down first and listen to us talk slowly......"

Next, under the narration of Gong Ruohai and Ye Ling'er, the old man understood the whole process of the whole thing.

"My poor granddaughter, no, I'm going to go to Gu's house to pick up my granddaughter now, I really didn't expect my granddaughter to be around, and I didn't even know ......"

The old man was in a hurry, and when he thought of his granddaughter suffering for so many years, he was very distressed.

He stood up on crutches, and before he could take a step, he was stopped by his son.

"Dad, don't worry, besides, the children are still in school at this time, even if you go to the Gu family, you won't be able to see the children."

The old man glanced at his son coldly, and said angrily: "What are you talking about, how can I not be in a hurry, you are good, no matter what, you have at least seen the child, but I, it has been so many years, and I have never even seen the child." ”

Ye Ling'er lowered her head and snickered, causing Gong Ruohai to sigh helplessly.

Xin said: "What kind of daughter-in-law is this!" ”

But seeing his daughter-in-law smiling so happily, he suddenly felt that everything was worth it.

"Dad, Lin'er is at Jingnan University, if you see her, you can go directly to school, En...... It was almost noon at the end of school. ”

Ye Linger relieved her husband Gong Ruohai in a timely manner.

In the courtyard where the old lady Bai lived, when Jiang Wenjing walked in, she saw the old lady sitting in the upper hall.

"Mom, why are you sitting here, the door is not closed, in case the wind blows, you are catching a cold."

Old Madam Bai seemed to have something on her mind, and when she saw her eldest daughter-in-law walk in, she came back to her senses, and a smile appeared in her cloudy eyes: "Don't get in the way, the meal is ready?" ”

Although the Bai family's mansion has a large courtyard, they are not used to hiring servants, except for Bai Bo, a housekeeper.

Most of the things are done by themselves, Jiang Wenjing used to teach in middle school, but since her mother-in-law began to have problems two years ago.

I resigned from my position as a teacher and took care of the housework at home full-time, and when I had nothing to do, I went to the pharmacy to help my husband get medicine.

"Yes, I've already asked Kenan to call Yun Ran's parents, but why is it only you, Mom? What about cloud dyeing? ”

"She, I guess she's still in the backyard at this time, you love her the most on weekdays, go see her."

The old lady's tone was helpless, she patted her daughter-in-law's hand softly, and sighed silently.

"Then I'll let Bai Bo pick you up later, and I'll go see the girl first."

When Jiang Wenjing arrived in the backyard, she saw a petite figure sitting on a stone bench in the gazebo.

It was as quiet as a sculpture, and if she hadn't known that this person was Yun Ran, I'm afraid she would have thought it was a dummy.

She walked over with a step, pretending to be angry and said coldly: "Staying here alone at night, do you know how long the eldest lady has been looking for you?" Look at the clothes you are wearing so thin, you sincerely want to freeze yourself to catch a cold, don't you? ”

said words of reprimand, but Jiang Wenjing took off her coat in distress.

The movements were gently draped over Yun Ran's body, and she sat beside Yun Ran.

Reaching out and gently holding the person in her arms, her chin rubbed against her shampoo-scented hair.

muttered: "Silly boy, you were born to let the eldest mother worry about you, don't hide anything in your heart, say it all so that we can know what you think, right?" ”

Bai Yunran's breathing suddenly stagnated, and the tears that a person had endured for so long finally flowed out.

"Woo, auntie, I don't want to leave, I don't want to leave you. Why did they appear, sixteen years have passed, why can't you pretend not to know for the rest of your life? ”

Jiang Wenjing hugged the person in her arms tighter, her warm palm caressed Yun Ran's head, and her voice was even more gentle and dripping: "Silly child, no one will want you to go, but you will leave here one day, as for your parents in the first sixteen years, they really didn't know that the daughter in the family was not their own, and now that they know, how can they bear to let their flesh and blood flow away." ”

"But I don't want them to come ......"

She had lived here for sixteen years, and for as long as she could remember, she never thought she would leave one day.

Although in the past, the eldest mother and grandmother always said that the daughter who married out spilled the water.

The girl's family has to leave when she reaches a certain age.

But leaving in that sense is not the same as her departure at all.

After a long time, Jiang Wenjing's mobile phone in his coat rang.

She took out her phone from the pocket of her coat draped over Yun Ran's body, glanced at the phone screen, but it didn't connect.

The melodious ringing of her mobile phone continued to ring in her ears, and she got up and clapped her hands, then handed a hand to Yun Ran's eyes.

"Get up, it's time to go back to dinner, it's not polite to let a whole family wait for you as a junior."

It is undeniable that the Bai family teaches Yun Ran very well, whether it is in terms of personality or living habits, and he is impeccable in dealing with people.

In the end, Yun Ran stood up and followed the eldest lady all the way into the restaurant quietly.

When she saw the Xiao couple, her good-looking brows furrowed, but she didn't say anything unpleasant.

After the meal, except for Bai Kainan, who was a little dizzy from drinking, the rest of the people seemed unusually quiet.

"Ahem......"

Yun Ran, who was playing with his phone with his head down, after hearing his grandmother's cough sound similar to a reminder.

Raised his head in an instant.

"The hospitality is not good, and I hope you two don't mind, the food in a small place is naturally not as delicious as a hotel in a big city."

"No, no, don't get me wrong, the meals cooked by Sister-in-law Bai are very appetizing, no different from the dishes made by those chefs in the big hotel, and the most important thing is that these dishes are eaten with feelings."

Xiao Jing drank a few glasses of wine, and his face was colored, but he was still very sober, and these words were all from his heart.

"Yes, old lady, it is already a great gift to us to stay here for dinner today."

Qin Jiarou kept sandwiching vegetables for Yun Ran at the dinner table, resulting in the end of eating, and the dishes in Yun Ran's dishes were not finished.

She silently wrote down which dishes her daughter ate and which ones she didn't, thinking that she would learn to cook them for Yun Ran when she went back.

It's just that the most important thing at the moment is whether Yun Ran agrees to go back,

"Dye?"

"Hmmm......"

She thought she would have escaped, but she would still come.

"Go back, follow your parents back to where you belong, and in a year you'll be going to college. Only by returning to the big city can you get a better education. ”

"Grandma?"

Why not give her more time to think about it?

"No, it's okay, it doesn't matter if Dye doesn't want to go back, as long as we know that she is still alive and well, and there are so many people around her who love her and love her, it's enough for us as parents."

Qin Jiarou didn't want to make her daughter sad, so she said what she thought in her heart.

But her eyes obviously betrayed her, and she was not as relaxed as she said.

Yun Ran's heart was sullen for a while, and that strange feeling returned.

She didn't seem to see her biological mother sad, so she held her breath and stood up: "Give me another week, and after a week, I'll go back with you!" ”

Bai Yunran ran away alone, leaving the Xiao couple in the living room, as well as Bai Kainan and his wife, Mrs. Jiang and the housekeeper Bai Bo.

After Qin Jiarou saw Yun Ran leaving, she got up in a hurry and wanted to chase after her, but as soon as she got up to chase after her, she was stopped by Mrs. Jiang.

"Mrs. Shaw......"

Qin Jiarou looked at Old Madam Jiang in puzzlement, and asked, "Old Madam, you?" ”

"Don't go, leave her alone. Although I have no objection to letting Dye Dye go back with you, but she has lived in our family for sixteen years, and some feelings are no less than yours, and your sudden arrival must be a little uncomfortable in her heart, so it is better to let her be alone. ”

Old Madam Jiang's words made Qin Jiarou and Xiao Jing blush at the same time, and Qin Jiarou lowered her head in shame.

It's their fault, they only care about themselves, and they don't think about the feelings of the Bai family at all.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if the child they have raised for more than ten years is suddenly taken away by the child's biological parents, they will probably be reluctant......

But people are selfish!

Xiao Yunran ran out of Jiang's house alone, and walked along the road to a park in Pingcheng County.

At this point, there are quite a lot of people in the park, Xiao Yunran found a wooden chair and sat on it lonely.

She buried her head between her legs, looking so weak and helpless in the middle of the night.

Soon, an emaciated figure walked up to Xiao Yunran and sat beside her.

Afraid that Xiao Yunran would be cold, the emaciated figure took off his coat and draped Xiao Yunran on his body.

"Running out alone, I don't know if it will worry my family?"

Bai Kainan's mellow voice was full of concern, and he held Xiao Yunran in his arms.

The warm palm gently patted Xiao Yunran's shoulder.

Xiao Yunran wiped his tears with his hands unnaturally, and then raised his head with a red face, his eyes red like a poor rabbit......

"Uncle, I'm sorry for worrying you, I'm just a little uncomfortable, and the thought of leaving grandma, uncle, aunt...... I'm so uncomfortable......"

She thinks that she is not an emotional person, especially in some aspects she is too cold and does not know how to express her feelings for others, but at this moment......

"Fool, no one wants you to leave, return to your biological parents, you can get more people's love, it's a good thing, isn't it better for you to have double the love of your family, besides, Wencheng and Pingcheng are not very far apart, when you want to come back, come back at any time, our Bai family will always be your strongest backing......"

Bai Kainan's words brought tears to the eyes of Bai Yun, who was already emotional.

"Uncle, thank you, thank you for taking care of me for so many years, don't worry, I'm Bai Yunran, I'll take care of myself, believe me, one day I will definitely come back......"

To her, Bai Kainan is also a father and a friend, and more often than not, he is like a teacher.

"Okay, it's not too early, go back early, grandma should be worried for a while."

Bai Kainan helped Yun Ran to stand up, took her hand, and walked in the direction of home with two figures, one big and one small, just like when he was a child......

"Uncle ......"

"Huh?"

"I'm so old in a blink of an eye!"

"Yes, in a blink of an eye, the doll that was held in the arms of the uncle has grown into a big girl......"
