If there is anything that Frankfurt can't accept Zhao Xin the most, it is probably that most of the foreign countries are involved in public security problems.

In general, the city was safe, but when night fell, she still did not dare to stop near Offenbach and the train station, one with many outsiders, and the other opposite was the lamp district, which was not so reassuring for a single woman.

But Zhao Xin had to come out.

Domestic affairs made her unable to let go.

She stood in the cold wind for a long time before the car picked her up and took her to the airport, and she opened the location vigilantly. Fortunately, the driver is no different from the strict Decheng people, and even his speech is lackluster, and he confirms coldly: "Go to the airport?" ”

"Yes." She didn't speak German very well, and she didn't want to communicate with anyone at the moment, which she thought was probably a good thing.

After Zhao Xin got on the plane, she finished writing another paper, this time she fell asleep tiredly, and when she woke up, the plane had already landed.

She is not very similar to most people, even if she returns to China after a long time, she does not have that kind of feeling. She just took a taxi to Chu's house in silence.

This small city has changed, and high-rise buildings have risen a lot.

When Zhao Xin stepped into Chu's house, everyone looked at her and seemed to pause.

She put down the big suitcase in her hand without notice, smiled, and focused her eyes on Chu Mei: "Is Grandpa Chu okay?" ”

Chu Mei looked at the woman in front of her who had exquisite makeup and her figure was well set off by her clothes, but she was silent for a while before she choked up and said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

Zhao Xin's smile was a little reluctant, her heart was very sad at this moment, she knew what Chu Mei's avoidance and non-answering meant.

- The old man is not very good.

After Zhao Xin entered the bedroom, she saw a skinny old man, she almost couldn't recognize him, her eye sockets were sunken, and she looked back and said, "Are you back?" ”

Her tears didn't break.

In fact, every time she called, she promised to come back, but every time there was something. If Chu Sui hadn't sent an email to tell her that the old man was seriously ill this time, she might not have come back.

Zhao Xin still remembers that when she left, he told her not to forget to come back and have a look, but she has not come back for more than two years.

"It's good to be back, you girl, I thought you wouldn't come back."

Zhao Xin's tears fell, Chu Mei was afraid that it would affect her father, so she hurriedly said: "Dad, Xiao Xin spent more than ten hours to get home, let her go to rest first, and come to see you later, is it okay?" ”

"Go ahead, get some rest, don't get tired." The old man took a few breaths hard, and spoke with some difficulty.

Chu Mei took her out.

There are still many Chu family members outside, including Chu Yang's family. Afraid of being seen in her emotions, she walked to the door and stood facing the wall.

Chu Mei lovingly combed her hair and muttered, "I said that I would go out for a year, why didn't I come back for two years." ”

Zhao Xin said: "I'm sorry. ”

She didn't want to stay so long, but she finished the preparatory department in one year and was admitted to the University of Frankfurt, so she stayed there.

Chu Mei sighed: "You didn't feel sorry for anyone, but we didn't expect that seeing you would become such a difficult thing." ”

What's more, Zhao Xin has changed, and it seems that everything is different.

At that time, she said that a year was too long, but in the end, it was many years.

As soon as Zhao Xin was about to speak, she saw the door of the living room being opened, and when someone saw her, she paused for a moment to open the door before closing the door.

Chu Sui walked directly towards her, but when he saw her suitcase, he stopped halfway and carried her things upstairs.

Zhao Xin wiped his eyes before following.

She had been a few paces behind him, and she felt that he was a little taller, not as weak as he used to be, probably because of his broader shoulders.

Zhao Xin said thank you when he put down his luggage.

Chu Sui didn't turn his head, still with his back to her, and asked for a long time, "When did you come back?" ”

Zhao Xin said: "Just now. ”

Chu Sui said, "Oh. ”

Zhao Xin was silent, she was abroad, and she didn't contact her domestic friends very much, WeChat was almost not available, and the only time she had contact with Chu Sui in the past two years was the night before yesterday, when he sent her an email.

Chu Sui's hair is now neatly short, and when he doesn't speak, his jawline is sharp and aggressive, but fortunately, his tone is calm, and he says, "Is it okay outside?" ”

"It's fine."

"Don't you want to go home?"

"It's fine."

"Are you wronged?"

This time, Zhao Xin paused before saying, "It's okay." ”

"I just came back from sending the doctor, and my grandfather didn't want to live in the hospital."

"It's been a hard time for everyone lately."

Chu Sui said: "I graduated, and now I am in ......"

Zhao Xin interrupted him: "I'm going to tidy up my box, do you want to go out first?" ”

All the conversation came to an abrupt end.

Chu then bowed his head and said, "You have a good rest." ”

......

Zhao Xin went downstairs an hour later.

This is a meal, originally Chu Mei let her have a good rest, but Zhao Xin still decided to accompany the old man for a while, she fed him some porridge, and then began to tell him interesting stories abroad.

Old Man Chu just sighed heavily: "Girl, you must have suffered a lot abroad." ”

"It's not bitter, when you get better, I'll take you out to play, okay?" Zhao Xin said softly.

The old man's face was peaceful, and a faint smile appeared: "I don't have to envy those who have granddaughters at all, our family Xiao Xin is also very good." ”

Zhao Xin almost couldn't help it anymore, she had lived in the Chu family for many years, and they were actually very good to her.

One old and one young, chatted until ten o'clock in the evening. The old man finally couldn't hold it anymore and closed his eyes to sleep.

Zhao Xin turned off the lights for him.

"If you get married in the future, you must marry according to the identity of the eldest lady of the Chu family, and I left you a large dowry."

She bent the corners of her mouth, and carefully closed the door for him when she went out, Zhao Xin hadn't eaten until now, and she was a little hungry at this time. Chu Mei asked the maid to cook her some supper.

Zhao Xin hadn't eaten two bites of the bowl before there was a cry outside.

"Dad!"

She ran out with her legs, and she didn't have time to wipe her mouth.

Then there were many people's cries, Chu Mei, Chu Yang, Chu Yang's parents, it was a mess.

"Call the doctor!"

"Quick! Hurry! ”

“......”

After a while, the doctors went in and out again, and finally shook their heads weakly: "It's been a tough few days, there's no way, let's prepare for the funeral." ”

Zhao Xin in the corner stepped back in disbelief, and his tears fell to the ground.

In the end, it was Chu Sui who helped her, she looked back at him and said, "How can it be so fast?" ”

She's just ...... Just came back.

"It's not fast." Chu Sui's voice was also heavy at this time, hoarse as if he had been sawed with a saw, and he said, "I could only take a drip a few days ago, but when you came back today, you even drank half a bowl of porridge, and I thought it was getting better." ”

Zhao Xin was very uncomfortable, and the feeling was like a blunt knife piercing, and it hurt.

As long as she thought that the old man might have lasted until now to see her for the last time, she couldn't wait to slap herself a few times.

People always know that they regret it at the end, and they regret not coming back a few times, is it really that they don't have time? No, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, it is impossible not to have no time at all.

It's just an excuse to be busy.

Zhao Xin said: "Does he blame me? ”

"No, no one blames you." Chu Sui's eyes were slightly moist, and he turned his head, "Grandpa just misses you." ”

The family will not blame, only miss.

Parents miss their wanderers.

If you are far away, you have to report peace.

Zhao Xin didn't even do this.

......

There were many people who came to Mr. Chu's funeral.

Everyone's mood was heavy and depressed.

Zhao Xin is grateful to the people who came to help, and she herself spends a lot of time entertaining guests.

On this day, she didn't want to cry before, but she still didn't hold back later, and her eyes, which were already swollen, were even more swollen.

It wasn't until the funeral was over that she persuaded herself for a long, long time.

But she still had to comfort Chu Mei, and all kinds of methods were used to make her barely control her emotions.

Chu Mei said: "You have changed. ”

That's what she wanted to say that day.

Zhao Xin didn't speak.

"I've become prettier and more independent." She said.

Zhao Xin said: "I am still the same person I was at the beginning. From start to finish, I treated you like my family. ”

Chu Mei was slightly moved, leaning on Zhao Xin's arms, she is a woman who has withstood huge pressure from public opinion, and few people tell her such intimate words. She remembered the previous events, and was a little dazed: "I just had Chu Sui that year, in fact, my father wanted to beat me to death, but he was just pretending, and he couldn't bear to be a coquette." I'm almost fifty years old, and he didn't drive me away, he said that it would be good to keep me to do business for the Chu family, but in fact, I knew that he was just worried that I was out there and had nowhere to go. ”

Zhao Xin said: "You are also great. ”

"What's great, I'll bring you back, and then I disliked you for a while because you weren't worthy of my son, why are you so unrepentant."

Zhao Xin hugged her and stopped talking, like a daughter, coquettish in her arms.

mentioned Chu Sui, Chu Mei mentioned more: "Ah Sui broke with Shi Yan." ”

Zhao Xin was a little stiff and didn't move for a while.

"He graduated and is now in graduate school." Chu Mei said, "Originally, the two families said that they would get married after studying." But Ah Sui went to graduate school, and I don't know if the woman couldn't wait, so she didn't get married. ”

Zhao Xin withdrew from her arms and curled the corners of her mouth: "I have a boyfriend." ”

Chu Mei was slightly stunned, sighed, and smiled: "That's a good thing." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Xin said, "He is a very good person, not tall, not good-looking, but he is very good to me." Do you know, when Chu Yu saw him, he said that he was very good. Next time I'll bring him back to see you. ”

"That's good, that's good." Chu Mei hugged Zhao Xin, but when she looked up, she saw a figure flashing out.

......

Chu Sui didn't know how long he had been running.

He didn't stop until the wound in his chest hurt faintly.

Then he saw Chu Yang sitting not far away, and the two looked at each other for a while, and Chu Sui walked over unhurriedly.

"Don't be too upset." Chu Yang patted him on the shoulder, "People can't be resurrected after death." ”

Chu gave a dispensable "um".

Chu Yang felt that he had a son, maybe he didn't feel as uncomfortable as Chu Sui, as a younger brother, he got married before he turned twenty-two, and now it seems that it is not necessarily a bad thing.

With sustenance, there is hope.

Chu Yang smiled: "However, Zhao Xin has indeed become better-looking, I knew that there was today, I might as well marry her honestly at that time." ”

Men, no matter what happens to their lives, always yearn for beautiful women.

Zhao Xin used to be beautiful, but now that he has been abroad, everything has changed, he has become more mature and more feminine.

A delicate girl is used to hurt, and a charming girl is also used to hurt. It's just that the two hurt in different ways.

Men will understand what this means.

Chu Sui tugged at the corners of his mouth indifferently and didn't speak.

Chu Yang felt that Chu Sui and Zhao Xin had nothing to say, there was a little bit of old things between the two of them, and it was embarrassing.

What's more, Zhao Xin is abroad, and I don't know how many people I have experienced.

Chu Sui said: "I met Zhao Liang at the door today. ”

At that time, at the funeral, he dragged a lame leg, wore a broken hat, looked hard at the funeral, and after seeing Zhao Xin, he stared and kept looking, and finally wiped his tears, and dragged a lame leg away.

From this moment to his house, it would take more than an hour for normal people to walk, and when he arrived, it was estimated that it would be midnight.

Chu Sui finally went to give him a ride.

Zhao Liangqian was grateful, "Chu Sui, thank you so much." ”

Chu Sui thought viciously, this was his gratitude for sleeping with his daughter for so long.

But he was still calm on the surface: "Zhao Xin is back, why don't you go up to say hello?" ”

Don't you often inquire about Zhao Xin?

"I did a lot of wrong things at the beginning, I'm sorry for her, I didn't raise her, and now I don't want to be a drag on her." Zhao Liang said, "Although I am a bastard, I don't want to be such an irresponsible bastard who will drag down my children in turn." ”

......

Chu Yang was accustomed to Zhao Liang's return: "Come to ask for money?" ”

Chu Sui did not deny it, he did ask himself for money in the end, no matter how nice the previous words were, he couldn't escape the normalcy of the past few years.

Since Zhao Xin came to the Chu family, every year, he would come to ask for a sum of money, about thirty or fifty thousand.

Chu Yang said lightly: "How many years have this been, if he dares to come over next year, I will deal with the person." Obviously he is here to ask for money, and he has to pretend to care about the child, which is enough to bury people. ”

In the past, it was the old man Chu who was there, and he gave it every year.

Now that he is gone, Chu Yang is in charge, and he will no longer suffer dumb losses.

He was extremely disgusted with this kind of gambling money.

Chu Sui's thoughts are almost the same, if the other party comes again next year to ask for money, he will not give it again.

Zhao Xin himself will soon have nothing to do with the Chu family. There's no need to raise an old man for her.

When Chu Sui was about to leave, Chu Yang said: "Such a big beauty comes back and won't go overnight. Wind. Flow? I heard that the people they have spent abroad are very open. Put. ”

"Not interested." He left this sentence and walked away, leaving Chu Yang behind, and smiled undeniably.

He himself was quite interested.

After the funeral, Chu Mei and Chu Yang's father and two siblings began to divide the family property.

Most of them are still from Chu Yang's family, Chu Mei only got a sum of money, and the Chu family's old house is not hers.

Chu Mei said to Zhao Xin: "I'm afraid you have to move the things you have left here." If you want to find me in the future, go directly to City A, I won't come here again. ”

And he asked, "When are you going to leave?" ”

Zhao Xin said: "Just these two days. ”

Chu Mei was surprised: "So fast? ”

"I'm also very busy with my studies, and if I delay it any longer, I'm afraid I'll have to fail my course."

Chu Mei said: "Chu Sui is also going back to school for graduate school, and I am the only one left." ”

But she only sighed and didn't ask Zhao Xin to stay.

Zhao Xin didn't slow down after buying the ticket to leave, and in just five days, she lost a very important person in her life.

That night, she was still staying at Chu's house, and there was always some noise in the next room, and she knew that it was Chu Sui's room, so she didn't care. But soon she found herself so noisy that she couldn't sleep.

So she knocked on the door of Chu Sui's room.

He was undressed and had a tiny tattoo on his chest.

Zhao Xin's gaze focused on his face, and she said, "Can you light it?" ”

Chu Sui said: "Cheng." ”

But his eyes are still focused on himself, Zhao Xin has long been subjected to countless such eyes abroad, the kind of simple men's scaffordability of women.

Zhao Xin naturally teased men by women, she said: "It's not bad, right, my boyfriend said that I can get an A." ”

Chu Sui smiled: "That's not it." ”

Zhao Xin also smiled: "After all, my boyfriend is not as well-informed as you." ”

Chu Sui's smile retracted, he stared at her for a while, and said, "You go back and rest." ”

Chu Sui closed the door.

Zhao Xin just shrugged his shoulders very casually, turned around and walked back.

Chu Sui turned off the treadmill.

He felt that Zhao Xin was quite excessive, obviously before he left, he said that if he didn't come back, or decided that he was 100% going to break off with him, he would reply to himself with a message.

She took the birthday present.

But she didn't act for two years and couldn't give a clear answer.

I have a boyfriend, and I have never notified him.

At the beginning, Chu Sui always felt that she did not deny or refuse, and the two of them came back to talk.

If he had known that he didn't have to talk about it, he wouldn't have carried her suitcase when she came back that day.

Fortunately, now that he knows a clear answer, he doesn't have to wait for anything, anyway, he is used to it now. Since he doesn't like to be involved, he can naturally do it well.

So when Chu Mei asked him to send Zhao Xin the next day, he didn't go.
