Chapter 246: Business Trip
"Are you all packed?"
Ye Luo turned around, Chu Ran came in wearing a pair of slippers, he was wearing casual loungewear, his hair fell softly, because he was a little short-sighted with a pair of glasses, he looked a little ascetic.
She blushed and turned her head.
"What is this?" Chu Ran picked up a small boxy box.
"These are my mother's things, and I'm going back to my hometown on a business trip, and I want to put them all back in their place."
She opened the box, and it was filled with worthless knick-knacks, which looked very old, but they were still very well preserved, and there was nothing damaged about them.
"My mom would have wanted to go home even more." Ye Luo looked down at the hairpins, earrings, and so many things that even she didn't remember when her mother bought them, but she vaguely remembered that these things were very precious to her mother.
"Don't talk about that, why are you here?"
He has to work overtime tonight, and he usually won't come back to sleep until twelve o'clock.
"Bring you milk." He raised the cup in his hand.
Ye Luo drank it in one gulp.
Chu Ran wiped the white milk stains from her lips with his thumb.
After a while, Chu Ran still didn't leave, and Ye Luo was a little strange what he was here for.
"Don't you have a job? Why don't you leave? ”
"You ......" Chu Ran hesitated, "I'm just on the way, I'll send you over, it won't take long to drive anyway." ”
Ye Luo looked at him in surprise, as if he was as surprised as if he had met him for the first time.
Then he said funny: "Are you reluctant to let me go?" ”
Chu Ran: "Didn't you say it, it's just a stopover." If you have other arrangements, that's fine. ”
Ye Luo felt that this matter was quite fresh, after all, it was the first time that Chu Ran had expressed his reluctance to her so clearly.
She took two steps forward, reached out and hugged him, rested her head on his chest, and listened to his steady heartbeat: "I've only been away for two days, and I'll be back soon." ”
Chu Ran hugged her, closed his eyes, and rolled his Adam's apple before he let out a muffled snort from his throat.
"Speaking of which, I guess I haven't told you what it's like in our hometown......" Ye Luo suddenly came out of his arms excitedly.
Chu Ran smiled slowly, listening to her chirping voice, the uneasiness in his heart was gradually calmed down.
The next day, Ye Luo got up early.
Walked into Huanhuan's room on tiptoe, gave the little baby who didn't wake up a kiss, and then dragged the suitcase downstairs.
Not a suitcase, just a small bag.
For three days and two nights, there are not many things that need to be bringed, mainly some daily necessities.
Chu Ran took her to the train station.
Ye Luo's hometown is remote, and the train is already the best means of transportation.
Chu Ran had never taken a train, but looking at the long queue outside, he knew that it would not be too comfortable to take the train.
He immediately frowned and said, "Do you have to go now?" ”
Ye Luo covered Chu Ran's face with both hands, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be coquettish, this business trip is very important to me, whether I can succeed in one fell swoop depends on this time, so I will go no matter if it is thundering or hailing outside, let alone just taking a train, I have long been used to this level." ”
"If you really feel sorry for me, you can donate an airport to our county." She said jokingly.
Chu Ran's eyebrows jumped, when did he become coquettish?
"Go home early."
When Ye Luo entered the ticket gate, he turned around and waved his hand at Chu Ran.
Chu Ran kept watching in place, and didn't turn his head until Ye Luo's figure could no longer be seen.
As soon as he came back, Meng Wenrui rushed out in a hurry, grabbed Chu Ran's arm and was about to go home: "You are finally back, your little baby has been crying since the morning, I don't know where I got the strength to cry until now, clamoring to call my mother, no matter how I coax, you come and coax your daughter, I have no tricks." ”
He had a terrible headache, and was awakened by the sound of cries like sirens while he was still sleeping.
To be honest, it was the first time he had heard such a lethal cry, it could almost poke into people's hearts, and his forehead had twitched for an unknown number of times.
Huanhuan has been so well-behaved these days that he has completely softened under her candy mask, forgetting that she is actually a three-year-old child, and crying is also fatal.
I was hit this morning.
So when he saw Chu Ran coming back, it was like seeing a savior.
As soon as Chu Ran walked into the living room, he saw Huanhuan crying hoarsely, his hair was combed haphazardly, messily on his head, and the clothes on his body were still pajamas, just wearing a coat casually, his nose and eyes were red, and he looked so pitiful.
I kept calling my mom in my mouth.
Seeing Chu Ran coming in, the baby paused for a moment and found that it was not her own mother, so she continued to cry without any scruples.
Chu Ran: "......"
"Don't cry." Chu Ran didn't have any experience in coaxing children, so he could only say it hard at the moment.
Huan Huan glanced at him and continued to cry for herself.
Chu Ran's head also hurt.
Meng Wenrui looked confused: "No, big brother, isn't this your daughter, you can't handle it." ”
Chu Ran glanced at him unkindly, and Meng Wenrui hurriedly made a gesture to shut up.
Looking at the crying child in front of him, he could only helplessly take out the killer feature from the refrigerator, a piece of strawberry cake.
It's the piece that leaves left over from yesterday's leaf fall.
Huanhuan's crying stopped, and he was already enjoying the delicious cake with a happy face.
Meng Wenrui was speechless, he didn't believe that he worked so hard, but Huanhuan was actually coaxed by a piece of cake in the end.
"What if the cake is finished?"
"The little girl just has to be reserved when she gets up, and when she finishes eating this cake, she will be fine."
He rubbed his temples, feeling that the remaining two days would be very sad.
"Girl, do you want to take a car? Nonstop! ”
As soon as Ye Luo came out of the train station, the car dealers swarmed up, and she avoided the crowd and walked out from the exit of the station.
It's been three years since I came back, but it still doesn't seem to have changed.
The only change, perhaps, is that there are more cars and fewer people?
She first put her things in the hotel and then went to the cemetery.
Three years ago, as soon as her mother died, she moved her grave back.
The grave is halfway up the mountainside, very clean, as long as you stop, you can hear the subtle sound of the wind, and the bamboo forest will follow the sound of chirping.
She squatted down and carefully pulled the weeds, she hadn't come for a few years, and the grass in front of the grave was half a person tall.
It wasn't until she sweated a little that she pulled all the grass clean, and the picture on the tombstone was clearer.
She smiled like a child when she met those eyes.
He whispered many things that had happened in the past three years, and his voice was not loud or small in the wind.
Looking at the kind photo, she couldn't help but put her hand on the photo and said in a low voice, "Mom...... Are you happy now? ”
Coming down from the mountain, she diverted to her home.
Not surprisingly, the old house in disrepair has long been uninhabitable, and a rusty chain on the outside can lock the dilapidated door, showing the authority of the owner.
Suddenly, someone called out to Ye Luo: "Isn't this Ye Luo?" ”
Ye Luo turned around and found that it was a neighbor on the other side of the door who he hadn't seen for a long time, carrying a vegetable basket in his hand, and it seemed that he had just returned from the vegetable market.
The aunt glanced at Ye Luo and smiled: "It's really Ye Luo, it's like a different person when I go out and come back in the past few years, and my aunt almost can't recognize it." ”
Ye Luo pursed his lips and smiled: "Auntie just came back from grocery shopping?" ”
"Hey, there's no way, there are still several mouths waiting for me to go back to cook, you are coming back to see your mother."
"Yes."
The aunt looked left and right and leaned over: "Then you must not have seen him yet, right?" ”
Ye Luo frowned, feeling that things were a little not simple: "Who?" ”
"Your dad, I saw him come back a few days ago, and he didn't know what he did in a panic, he ran away after hitting me, and he shouldn't be told, just like a ghost chasing him behind, I know you're not easy to come out, but be careful."
Ye Luo only felt strange for a while when he heard the title from his aunt's mouth.
Suppressing the weirdness in her heart, she said goodbye to her aunt, and then she thought carefully, what did he come back for?
Is there anything else here that could make him plot?
She thought he was already dead, but she didn't expect him to be not only alive and well, but also so alive.
She was a little curious about how he had survived with his mud that couldn't hold up the wall.
Not long after July, the weather is still hot.
The room was obviously air-conditioned, but Meng Wenrui was still slumped on the sofa like a dog, and he was so tired that he didn't want to say a word.
Chu Ran raised his eyebrows and kicked Meng Wenrui's calf: "Are you still alive?" ”
Meng Wenrui barely opened one eye and closed it again.
Chu Ran ripped the tie around his neck with one hand and sat down.
"Pour me a glass ......of water," Meng Wenrui stretched out a hand with difficulty.
"Do you want me to pour you a cup of poison?" Chu Ran said gloomily.
Meng Wenrui opened his eyes: "Do you want to be so ruthless, don't you just want you to pour me a glass of water?" Tired of the day, do you pour a glass of water too much? ”
Chu Ran can still go to the company, what about him? After staying at home all day, Chu Ran came back after just being able to rest for a while, and he wondered if the people at home were deliberately ventilating the news, so that Chu Ran would step on it so punctually.
"Where's Huanhuan?" He asked, ignoring his angry look.
"I've been asleep, coaxed for a day, and finally fell asleep."
After such a day, he has already had a psychological shadow on the child, and he can still not have a child in the future, he will not have a child, he is tired for a day, and his leg is going to be broken.
I thought that the sweet little baby was easy to coax, but at the end of the day, he either wanted this or that, sometimes he cried non-stop, and he had to buy the cake she liked to eat.
He really wanted to give the self who wanted a daughter a few days ago a slap in the face, make you cheap, and make you promise Ye Luo, from the beginning, he shouldn't come!
