Zhou Yimo's lips were slightly raised, her hands folded behind her back, looking at the tall figure behind the frosted glass door, she chuckled, turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

The footsteps in the living room faded away, and the old man took the fish out of the bucket, threw it into the sink, and said, "I promised your grandfather to look at the two of you, and to see that you two are so tacitly affectionate, that one of my thoughts is finally settled." ”

Hearing this, Qin Ye just hooked his lips slightly, grabbed the fish with his bare hands, rinsed the grass hanging on it, and put it on the cutting board.

Then the old man said, "What do you young people say?" The look back that broke my neck in my previous life was exchanged for the encounter in this life, Xiao Ye, I can see that Momo is a good girl, you must cherish her. ”

Qin Ye was noncommittal about this: "She is a good wife, I will." ”

The old man glanced at him, the eyes that used to cover the glacier were now filled with a gentle spring water.

It seems that Qin Ye is indeed the right person, Zhou Yiqian can't make Qin Ye soft, although she is a shining star, but marrying a wife and living a life still requires a lady.

The burden in his heart fell to the ground, and the old man smiled relaxedly: "People live for a lifetime for decades, say not long, say short is not short, don't look at you are still young, in fact, decades is just a blink of an eye, look at me, the time is not long." ”

Qin Ye raised his eyes: "Grandpa Jin, you ......"

I want to say something comforting, but I can't say it when the words come to my mouth, the normal feelings of birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can escape this natural law, no matter how unwilling he is, no matter how reluctant he is, he will eventually leave with the passage of time.

It's one thing to know, it's another thing to feel uncomfortable. Compared with Qin Ye, the old man was much more open-minded, and I saw him raise his hand to interrupt Qin Ye: "Hey, there is no need to say good words, I know my own body, after all, people are old, I can't deny the old, I just want to tell you, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, what you think will happen in your life, there may only be one day, so cherish the days you can be together, don't let yourself have regrets." ”

The topic was a little heavy, Qin Ye had gloomy eyes and hummed.

Seeing this, the old man smiled lightly: "Don't be so low, people will always leave one day, and I am no exception, you have also seen it, my body is not as good as a day, and it is too much worse than four years ago, and this life may be like this." ”

The older you get, the less scruples you have about the word "death".

It's not that they're not afraid of death, it's because they're so close to death that they see it.

And this kind of thing, it's not that if you don't mention it, you won't die, or if you mention it, you will die immediately, and carefully avoid these ominous words, except for sounding better, it is useless.

Then he said, "You have come here, and I know that you have asked for me." Xiao Ye, you are my most optimistic junior, I have never hidden my preference for you from anyone, no matter what you have to do, as long as it is right, I will definitely do my best to help you, for me, you are half a son, but Xiao Ye, the days I can help you are numbered, for me, for myself, for this family, you can't slack off, you must move forward bravely, stand at a height that others can't touch, in the future, let others beg you instead of looking for foreign aid, do you understand what I mean? ”

His life is almost at the bottom, if Qin Ye is still controlled by others, how can he rest in peace? How can you go underground to see old friends with peace of mind?

The hand holding the kitchen knife was quietly clenched, looking at the fish trying to open its mouth on the cutting board, and his cold eyes were gloomy. After a long time, Qin Ye seemed to promise: "Grandpa Jin, don't worry, I will." ”

Seeing that his eyes were faintly shining, the old man was relieved: "Okay! ”

Zhou Yimo took a shower and went to the guest room to change out of the bathrobe, Qin Ye and Jin Ming were cooking, and they would definitely have supper together for a while, and they were too casual and impolite.

Just as she was changing her clothes, the mobile phone that was placed aside rang, and when she picked it up, she saw that it was Fuyun calling.

Since the last time she said goodbye to P City, Zhou Yimo has never spoken to her again. Although she is the person in charge of the Crescent Branch, Li Sisi is the director of the Crescent Moon, and if there is anything, the leaders of those branches will contact Li Sisi.

Fuyun is a very experienced manager, and he generally does not report to her beyond his authority. This phone call in the middle of the night, could it be said that it was a private matter? Zhou Yimo's heart was full of anticipation, and she quickly answered the phone, "Hey, Fuyun, is there something wrong?" ”

Fuyun's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Zhou, did you call you so late and disturb your rest?" ”

Zhou Yimo looked up at the starlight outside the window, smiled and said, "No, I just came back from outside." What about you, what have you been up to lately? Did Yaya sleep? ”

Thinking of Yaya's little girl, Zhou Yimo's heart softened, it was a very beautiful and cute little girl.

Zhou Yimo still remembered her child, the maternal brilliance on Fuyun's face had increased a lot, and the already gentle voice was even gentle, "Yaya has slept with her grandmother, and I called Mr. Zhou today because during dinner, my mother-in-law suddenly remembered something, which may be related to the person you are looking for Mr. Zhou." ”

Sure enough, it was for this matter, Zhou Yimo's heart was pounding excitedly, "Really? Auntie remembered? ”

Fuyun said, "That's right, the house we live in now was bought by my mother-in-law, but they didn't live here before, and the house has always been used for rent, until I got married to Yaya's father, in order to make it easier for me to go to work, the whole family moved here." My mother-in-law was wondering, could the person Mr. Zhou was looking for be the previous tenant? ”

This possibility is very big, Zhou Yimo asked cautiously, "Then, did the person who rented your house before have the surname Chen?" ”

Fuyun said, "Yes, her name is Chen Yueling, a native of S City, and she hid alone because she quarreled with her husband. My mom talked to her and felt very cultured, like she was highly educated. She rented the house at the same time as you said, and was the same age as the person you were looking for, so my mother-in-law asked me to tell you if I could help you. ”

When Zhou Yimo heard Chen Yueling's three words, the whole person was stunned. Could it be that the person she is looking for is her mother-in-law? Not so coincidentally.

If it was her, why didn't she tell herself generously?

Zhou Yimo quickly denied it, she never concealed that she knew her mother, if it was really her, even if she didn't ask, she would tell her mother's life experience.

It must be the same name and surname, Zhou Yimo took a breath, "Thank you Auntie for me, this is a good clue." "I love to read

Fuyun said, "It's a pity that my mother-in-law tore up the original contract, and there is Chen Yueling's ID number on it, so you can check her whereabouts." Now, although I know the name, there are so many people with this name in S City, and it's relatively troublesome to look up. ”

Fuyun is a smart person, Zhou Yimo did not hesitate to come to find the aunt surnamed Chen in person, presumably it was not as simple as wanting to catch up with that aunt, so she spared no effort to provide clues to Zhou Yimo.

Zhou Yimo said, "Knowing where it is, I finally have a direction to look for." Thank you very much for playing with your aunt, when you have time, you can bring your aunt and Yaya to play in S City. ”

Fuyun said, "Mr. Zhou, you are too polite, in fact, we can only provide you with these." ”

Zhou Yimo said, "Don't say that, it's already a lot." ”

The two said a few more words, hung up the phone, Zhou Yimo opened the door and smelled a sour and spicy fragrance, the spicy and fragrant smell of pickled pepper and coriander hitting together, and the smell of fragrant hemp of pepper, all Zhou Yimo's senses were instantly activated.

She wasn't hungry, but when she smelled the scent, the worms woke up.

Fortunately, Qin Ye quickly brought the pot out and put it on the dining table, so she couldn't wait to go into the kitchen to help serve the dishes and chopsticks, and when she walked out of the restaurant, there was a case of beer on the table.

The three of them sat down, and the sauerkraut and fish pot was always boiling in the pot, and the taste of sauerkraut became stronger and stronger the more it was cooked.

Qin Ye poured Jin Ming beer, poured some more into his cup, and was about to put down the beer bottle when another wine glass appeared in front of him. In his ears was Jin Ming's voice: "Fill it with foam." ”

He wanted to refuse, because Zhou Yimo's wine really didn't dare to compliment him.

Seeing that he hesitated, Jin Ming said, "Why, didn't you kid even let Momo drink wine." ”

Qin Ye smiled, glanced at Zhou Yimo with his eyes, and didn't speak. Fortunately, Zhou Yimo is self-aware, "Grandpa Jin, it's not that he won't let me, it's really that my alcohol consumption is not good." ”

Jin Ming said, "It's all my own people, and I just slept when I was drunk." Besides, it's beer that isn't intoxicating. ”

The old man served as a soldier when he was young, and although his official luck has been good since then, reaching the level of mayor, the bold character he developed in the army has not changed.

Although today is the first time to see Zhou Yimo, Zhou Yimo's dignified and generous personality is very temperamental, and he has already regarded her as his own.

Zhou Yimo is also a lot of hypocritical people, Jin Ming said so, she happily raised the cup in front of Qin Ye. Qin Ye filled her up.

"Cheers!"

"Bang!"

Under Jin Ming's order, the three wine glasses collided and made a crisp sound.

Zhou Yimo smiled like a flower, looked at Jin Ming and raised his hand to drink beer, and turned his head to look at Qin Ye. Stretching her glass forward, she said softly, "Cheers." ”

His cold eyes turned slightly, his face did not change, and he reached out to touch the cup.

The two glanced at each other, Zhou Yimo smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The cold beer was foaming in his mouth, and he inhaled the aroma of the hot and sour fish pot in front of his nose, Zhou Yimo said with a smile, "Husband, you don't eat much spicy, this sauerkraut fish is so authentic." ”

Jin Ming on the side said proudly, "It's my master who taught me well." ”

Put down the wine glass, a few people start eating, the fish is in the back of the pot, eat as much as you want, cook just right, the sour and spicy soup all get into the fish fiber, bite down, the pickled pepper flavor blooms on the tip of the tongue.

Although not very ladylike, Zhou Yimo only wants to say one word at the moment: cool.

Jin Ming also nodded again and again, he hadn't eaten Qin Ye's dishes for four years, and now that he eats it again, his cooking skills have improved greatly, and he is still familiar with the fresh fragrance, "Not bad, not bad, it seems that your skills have not regressed." Momo also likes spicy food, let this kid make more for you in the future. ”

Qin Ye said, "Her cooking skills are much better than mine." ”

Jin Ming said, "This kid usually doesn't repeat a sentence a few times, it seems that Momo's craftsmanship is really good, it just so happens that there are fish in the kitchen, catch up with Ming, Momo cook a few dishes for my old man to try." ”

Zhou Yimo said, "Yes! ”

Jin Ming said, "Put more spicy, this kid can't eat spicy by himself, and he puts very few chili peppers every time, so he doesn't enjoy eating it." ”

Qin Ye said, "Eating too many chili peppers is not good for the stomach. ”

Jin Ming immediately blew his beard and glared, "Who said that?" I think it's good for the stomach, Momo, don't listen to him, put more spicy. ”

At this moment, Jin Ming was completely an old child, Zhou Yimo smiled and said, "I listen to Grandpa Jin." ”
