The Ten Mile Canal, as the name suggests, is a ten-mile long canal, perhaps a little longer, along which there are a number of villages scattered around. Lijiazhuang is one of the midterms.

In comparison, Lijiazhuang is a small village, the village is adjacent to the water in front and back, there are many natural ponds, and most of the ponds are planted with hibiscus.

It was September, and the lotus leaves in many reservoirs had withered. The wind sends each other, the half-withered lotus leaves rise and fall, and the sound is clear, although there is no white lotus holy and elegant, which is refreshing and pleasant, but there is a late autumn taste.

It is a pleasing picture of residual lotus.

Li Qiusheng's house is located on the edge of the village, with two courtyards and green bricks and green tiles.

It looks pretty big.

Yes, Li Qiusheng's family is a merchant family after all, and it is quite wealthy.

Ji Shu stopped outside the courtyard and asked Li Qiusheng to bring the portrait of Lian'er, and then elaborated like this, Li Qiusheng nodded yes.

Then the group acted as if nothing had happened, and each prepared to go.

Around noon, a girl dressed in a light pink shirt walked into the courtyard of Li Qiusheng's house.

The girl is sweet-looking, with some baby fat remaining, her face is a little round, and her eyes with single eyelids are very energetic. She had eyebrow bangs, her hair was pulled up on top, a silver hairpin inlaid with jade was inserted, and the hair on the back was loosely draped behind her back - her hair and clothes were wet, the girl was aggrieved, she walked very lightly, and the whole person was indescribably weak and resentful.

There were no extra people in the yard and it was quiet.

Li Qiusheng was talking to his wife in the house.

It's just that Li Qiusheng was talking, but he didn't hear anyone talking.

After a while, a weak and hoarse voice said, "Master, why hasn't Lian'er come back yet?" If she wasn't allowed to do the laundry, she was going to go, and it had been half an hour......"

Li Qiusheng: "You forgot, Lian'er ......"

The hoarse voice immediately mentioned something, mixed with a little sharpness: "Nonsense, you lied to me again, I don't believe it!" ”

The girl heard the person in the inner room speak, and slowly walked into the hall, she took a deep breath and called out with difficulty: "A-Niang-"

When the people in the inner room heard someone shouting for their mother, their bodies were shocked!

"Lian'er, my Lian'er! Lian'er is back! Li Qiusheng's insider, Huo Di, stood up, threw away his hand and hurried out.

Li Qiusheng hurriedly held her elbow: "Slow down, don't be in a hurry!" ”

Mrs. Li ignored his reminder, stepped out of the inner room in three steps and two steps, and looked at it, and sure enough, it was Lian'er!

She didn't say a word before tears flowed down her face, like beads that had been strung off.

Li Qiusheng looked at the "Lian'er" in front of him and was stunned.

Su Cardamom's heart throbs, will it be too realistic? Ahh

Two quarters of an hour ago—

"Ji Zhenming, Lian'er let me come!" She volunteered to come and dress up as Lian'er.

"You? Can it be done? Not a joke. Yu Qian'er said.

"Why don't you come?" Su Cardamom looked at Yu Qian'er, "Underestimate this girl? I told you that this girl is not a stupid girl! ”

Yu Qian'er smiled: "Okay, then you come!" ”

Ji Shu: "Okay, you do look more suitable than A-Ning." ”

Aning: "Why? ”

Ji Shu: "Ahem, you are still a little young in terms of empirical acting." ”

Su Cardamom stayed with the general and finally retreated. Although he was said to be a little white face in private, he fell into a commotion.

……

Mrs. Li cried and pounced on "Lian'er", holding "Lian'er" and crying and crying all the time. It seems that I can't cry out all the thoughts I have missed in the past three years!

Li Qiusheng was stunned for a while and remembered that this "Lian'er" was not his own daughter, but purely to fool his old wife and pretend, so he quickly pulled his old wife and persuaded him: "Lian'er mother, Lian'er is tired when she just came back, let the child sit down and talk about it." ”

Mrs. Li suddenly realized this, she let go of "Lian'er", took "Lian'er's" hand and looked at it carefully, and raised her hand to caress this longing face.

"Auntie, no!" "Lian'er" said busily.

"What's wrong kid, but what's wrong?" Mrs. Li hurriedly retracted her hand, "My Lian'er has grown taller and thinner, it's all because A-Niang is not good, and she didn't take good care of you!" Lian'er is not hungry, my mother will make something delicious for you! ”

Su Cardamom shook her head.

"Ahh Why is this body all wet? The hair is also wet! Lian'er, why is your face so pale? ”

Cardamom Su sighed in her heart: You finally saw my clothes and face!

"Lian'er" said: "A-Niang, don't you remember? ”

Mrs. Li's face was full of suspicion: "Lian'er, what did you say?" ”

"A-Niang, I am both your lotus and not your lotus!"

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment: "Lian'er, my mother doesn't allow you to talk nonsense!" No, no, don't say anything, my mother doesn't want to hear it! ”

"Ah Niang ......"

"Don't say it!" Mrs. Li suddenly spoke sternly and interrupted "Lian'er"'s words, "Mother doesn't listen!" Then you suddenly said gently: "Lian'er, why are your hands so cold?" Mother, I'll make you something to eat, warm up. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for anyone to answer, so he staggered to the stove room and went to the noodles. While looking for a porcelain basin with noodles, I couldn't stop crying.

Su Cardamom followed, and when she saw Mrs. Li like this, her eyes turned red.

Li Qiusheng followed and said to Su Cardamom: "Girl, please forgive me!" Then he said to himself, "I don't know if I will hit her harder by doing this, but you see that she has lost weight in the past few years, and I really can't help it!" ”

Su Cardamom looked at him, and he didn't know when he burst into tears.

After a while, Mrs. Li brought a bowl of noodle soup made by herself, with two eggs lying on the noodles.

Mrs. Li greeted: "Lian'er, eat quickly!" ”

"Thank you, Auntie, I'll eat it."

Mrs. Li watched "Lian'er" eat noodles while crying, and "Lian'er" secretly shed tears while eating noodles.

Su Cardamom scolded secretly: "Damn, what's the matter!" I'll never do this kind of thing again! …… Ji Zhenming is unreliable, the paint on his face won't spend, right? ”

She ate the noodles in one bite, and scolded her mother one by one, preventing herself from thinking of her mother, mother's mother...... She, she, she......

There is no more motherhood......

Su Cardamom simply stopped eating, threw the chopsticks, and cried enough to say it first!

Su Cardamom hugged Mrs. Li with tears in her eyes, and Mrs. Li was so frightened that she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong Lian'er, aren't the noodles delicious?" ”

"The noodles are delicious, I miss my mother......"

Mrs. Li patted "Lian'er" on the back: "Mother is here, mother is here!" Lian'er doesn't cry. ”

"Lian'er" raised her face that didn't know if there were crying flowers, broke the jar and said, "A-Niang, do you want to take care of your health?" Otherwise, Lian'er will feel distressed. You promise me! ”

"Mother promises you, promises you, whatever you say, mother promises!"

"Eat well in the future, live well with your father, don't think about me, don't cry!"

Mrs. Li was stunned: "Lian'er, what did you say!" ”

"Auntie, Lian'er ate the noodles you made, and when she sees you this time, she is leaving."

"Where are you going? Mother won't let you go! ”

"Auntie, do you know, because you are very good, very kind-hearted, originally you didn't have Lian'er in your life, but God thanked you for your kindness, so he gave Lian'er to you as a daughter, and now it's been fourteen years, and Lian'er is leaving. God will let Lian'er go back, won't you? ”

"No, I beg God to let you stay, God will agree!"

"A-Niang, listen to me," "Lian'er" said softly, "You are very good to Lian'er, God sees it in his eyes, but God has God's rules, and you can't violate it." If you have been eating fasting and chanting Buddha after Lian'er is gone, and doing good deeds in the township, Lian'er will still be your daughter in the next life and accompany you to old age! ”

Mrs. Li was full of tears: "What you said is true? ”

"It's true!" "Lian'er" stretched out her little finger, "Don't believe it, let's pull the hook!" ”

Mrs. Li held out the little finger of her right hand.

After pulling his fingers and stamping the seal, "Lian'er" said again: "Auntie, if Lian'er doesn't leave, God will inevitably punish Lian'er, won't you feel distressed at that time?" ”

"You are my mother's heart, how can my mother not hurt!"

"This is it, only if you are willing to let Lian'er go, Lian'er will be able to go without worry, and there will be blessings in the next life, right, A-Niang?"

Mrs. Li took "Lian'er's" hand, looked at her face fixedly, as if she wanted to put everything about her in her heart, engraved it in her eyes, hesitated, convinced, and finally replied: "Okay, my mother promises you, and my mother promises you everything." ”

After speaking, he cried and cried like rain.

Her Lian'er has finally returned.

But her lotus ......

She couldn't keep it.

In the end, "Lian'er" left the Li family under the eyes of Li Qiusheng and his wife......

For a long time, Mrs. Li still muttered to herself: "Lian'er, my mother will accumulate blessings for you......"
