Iman Arc: Grass Separation (5)
When Iman and Seongxian returned to the city, it was snowing heavily. In the past five years, Iman has only come back once, and that is Yue Jingyan's wedding. That time she was heartbroken, and looking back, Iman felt that it was nothing.
The deep and shallow snow nests were printed with rows and rows of footprints, and then they were covered by heavy snow.
Iman clenched Cheng Xian's hand, and as soon as he walked into the community, he saw Yi Lin Chang standing outside the house. Yi Lin Chang is much older again, and he no longer has the heroic spirit of the past. Iman's eyes suddenly turned red, what did she insist on refusing to come back all these years.
This meeting was like that Chinese New Year's Eve many years ago, and he had been standing in the night waiting for the return of his distant relatives. But it's not the same as it was many years ago. That time he had been informed beforehand, and this time, Iman had returned without warning.
Faced with the person who was once closest to him, Iman suddenly didn't know what to say.
Yi Lin Zhang hurriedly greeted the two of them inside, warmed the hot water and handed it to the two. Iman's eyes turned even redder, and she held back the choking in her throat, "Dad, don't be busy yet, we won't leave when we come back this time." β
Yi Lin Zhang's eyes were moist, "Okay, okay, I'll go and inform your sister and ask her to come over quickly." β
β¦β¦
In this way, Iman easily chose to stay, not for other reasons, but because the Yilin Chang in front of her at this moment is indeed getting older and older. A period of old age is the most unbearable to wait, living in a self-righteous entanglement, maybe in the end it will only be a son who wants to raise but does not wait.
No matter what kind of grievances there have been, what kind of grievances have not been let go, after so many years, they can all be let go.
Jingyan came quickly, and of course she still had Xiao Yi with her.
Xiao Yi has grown taller, and he is seven years old this year. His lips are red and his teeth are white, and when he laughs, he seems to have a soft light all over his body, giving people a feeling that he is becoming more and more like Qingyang.
He is the continuation of Qingyang, the hope of Uncle Chen's family, and all the hopes of Sister Jingyan. And his smile itself is pregnant with endless hope.
As soon as this little guy saw Iman, he rubbed towards her, he, like Qingyang, was born very affectionate towards Iman.
But he had a trace of doubt, raised his big watery eyes and asked Iman, "Do I call you Aunt Man, or Aunt Qing?" β
Iman smiled, looked at Xiao Yi with an innocent face, and his thoughts ran far away.
Yu Qing, she almost couldn't remember that there was such an identity at the beginning. After going around in a big circle, she thought that she would live as "Yu Qing" for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect to end up being Iman. Fate is so elusive.
She bent down and touched Xiao Yi's head, "Just call 'aunt'." β
She bent down again, "Come, let my aunt hug her, and see if she can hold it." β
Don't look at Xiao Yi is very thin, but it's really heavy...... Iman's waist was successfully bent down again......
β¦β¦
The family gathers around to eat hot pot. It's covered in snow outside, and it's steaming inside. It looks like it's a bit of a good feeling. It's a very intimate feeling, and it's been a long time. Iman thought she wouldn't feel this way anymore, but fate gave her another chance.
She was so unlucky, and yet she was lucky.
β¦β¦
When the food was hot, Iman took off his thick coat and scarf, it didn't matter if he took it off, the naΓ―ve Xiao Yi immediately asked, "Auntie, have you been bitten by insects on your neck?" β
There was a burst of unnaturalness on Iman's face, and Cheng Xian consciously pulled Xiao Yi to his side and educated: "Good boy, you are still young, there are some things you don't understand." β
Xiao Yi still looked innocent, "Then my aunt was bitten by an Ultraman monster on her neck?" β
This kid has been obsessed with Ultraman recently, and he brings up Ultraman at every turn, and Chengxian's face turns pale for a while......
β¦β¦
A few days later, Iman decided to visit her mother---- Ge Peiyun. No matter what her entanglement with Yi Lin Chang is, she is Iman's real mother after all. She gave Iman life, which is something that Iman will not be able to repay for the rest of his life.
Yi Lin Zhang didn't go, he lived in obsession for this long life.
Perhaps this dedication, Iman and Jingyan have inherited it well, no matter what misfortune they have suffered, they have not learned to let go.
When Iman saw Ge Peiyun again, she was playing a game with a group of people of her age. The game is an eagle catching chicks. When Iman was a child, she loved to play this game the most, and every time she stood behind Ge Peiyun, she would always be very down-to-earth.
And the role of the eagle will always be Akira Ilin. At that time, there was no Jingyan, and their family was still living well.
How many years ago were those times that I couldn't go back, Iman couldn't remember clearly.
Although Ge Peiyun in front of her is getting old, she still has a sense of nobility. She is a natural nobleman with good cultivation, but she is also carried away by love.
As soon as Iman walked over, Ge Peiyun's companions scattered, leaving Ge Peiyun standing alone. She kept calling out to her companions, but no one paid any attention to her.
Iman called her "Mom", but she couldn't remember Iman.
At this moment, Iman wanted to cry, she looked at Ge Peiyun blankly, how long had she not seen her, she couldn't remember it really.
Iman tried to remind Ge Peiyun of something, so he took Ge Peiyun's hand, and a warm current entered Iman's hand, and her whole body seemed to be filled with blood.
In my memory, my mother's hand is so warm. Every time her father disliked her, it was these hands that pulled her into his arms and told her that she was the best person in the world.
"Mom, come, let's sit here, I bought a lot of food for you."
Iman pulled Ge Peiyun to a bench and told Cheng Xian to bring her things.
"I don't know if you like sweet or salty food. It's been so long that I can't even remember what you took me to eat when I was a kid. β
Ge Peiyun seemed to have been hungry for a long time, and as soon as she saw the food, she immediately reached out to eat it.
In fact, those are just the most common snacks such as bread, eggs, and ham in the supermarket. Iman watched Ge Peiyun gobble up, and felt very uncomfortable. Seongxian pinched her shoulder beside her, her heart softened, and she almost burst into tears.
"Mom, don't worry, eat slowly......"
Ge Peiyun couldn't listen to what Iman was saying, and she licked the dregs on her hands as she ate, as if the food was delicious in the world.
Probably full, she showed a great smile to Iman, and Iman seemed to be invisibly touched by this smile.
Suddenly, Ge Peiyun said to her, "You wait. β
She turned around and ran, as innocent as a child, Iman sat on the bench and couldn't help but sigh, "Chengxian, tell me, have I been too willful all these years?" β
Cheng Xian comforted: "There are some things that we can't decide, so don't blame yourself." In my opinion, our mother may not have a bad time, at least she can forget all those unhappy things. β
Yes, it's a good thing to be able to forget completely, at least not to dwell on the past. Iman also thought about forgetting, but fate turned around a thousand times, and she finally returned to the original point.
Iman rested his head on Cheng Xian's shoulder, looking at the almost melted snow on the ground, a large wet patch, and his heart was very heavy.
"Manman," Cheng Xian called, "when we get better, we can come and see it often." β
Iman let out a casual "um", not perfunctory, but countless worries.
Ge Peiyun was sweating all over, her shoes were covered with mud and snow, and even her pants were splashed with stars, but her smile was still so clean and pure, like an innocent child.
She took Iman's hand and handed the thing in the palm of her hand to Iman, "Give it to you, it's delicious." β
Iman looked closely, it was a lollipop that had melted. Iman clutched it in his hand and didn't eat it. Ge Peiyun pouted her fingers, looking innocent, "Eat, you eat." β
Iman knew that this lollipop might have been reluctant to eat by Ge Peiyun for a long time, but she gave it to Iman.
Iman slowly opened the packages with the residue and put them in her mouth, and a sour and spoiled taste came into her mouth, which was a little disgusting, but she couldn't hold back.
While she was eating, she didn't forget to praise, "No, it's delicious." β
Seeing this, Ge Peiyun smiled even more like a child.
Her current world is clean like a fool.
Iman was wrong, she was already a fool.
Iman was about to say something about the past, but the bell rang, and Ge Peiyun was reluctant to go, but was forcibly dragged away by those people.
Iman's eyes were red, "You tap, tap." β
But Ge Peiyun still left her sight little by little, her nose was sore, and tears immediately rolled down.
Over the years, the things that should be taken to heart the most have been missed like this. I don't know if she lives well here, whether she sleeps soundly, whether she helps with laundry, and whether she will be bullied. She didn't know any of that.
But she must be having a bad time, it must be like this. Maybe she can't remember Iman, but she's still so pro-Iman.
Suddenly, Ge Peiyun ran back, with a little uneasiness, she ran to Iman's side and kissed Iman on the face, and told Iman seriously, "Laugh, smile, look good." β
Her tone was soft, her words were slow, as if her brain was not enough, and she seemed to be afraid that Iman would not understand her.
Iman's tears erupted again, and his heart tangled together. Some unspeakable pain. She threw herself into Ge Peiyun's arms, just as she had been when she was very young. This embrace is as warm as it remembers and has not changed at all.
