XXIII. The saddest time is when you part

Li De and Li Man have never liked the only sister, Qin Wuran has always known it, and it is precisely because of this that she never thought that her eldest uncle and second uncle would treat her well.

But Qin Wuran never thought that she was obviously a brother and sister from the same father and mother, but she could hate each other so thoroughly that she could even say such a thing as a disaster, so as soon as this remark came out, Qin Wuran was slightly stunned.

However, Li De didn't care what she was thinking at all, and just turned around and left.

Although he is an elder in the clan, for this kind of obviously family matter, others are always unable to put their beaks too much, so they can only sigh slightly, and then look at Qin Wuran, who is still in a daze.

"What does Miss Qin think?" The elder asked her.

What else can Qin Wuran think?

She just thought of what Mrs. Li said when she was seriously ill, that is, even if this Li Ji Restaurant was given to her, she couldn't keep it with her skills.

Isn't it just that you can't hold it? In the final analysis, she is just the granddaughter of Old Lady Li, and she is the Qin family instead of the Li family, which is destined for her not to think too much.

Even if she just didn't want Mrs. Li's life's hard work to be burned, she didn't just want to swallow this family property.

"I don't want it." Qin Wanran lowered her eyes and covered the redness in her eyes.

Because he knew that the person who loved him the most was gone, and probably no one in this world would feel distressed because of her tears.

"You've figured it out." Although the elder also knew that Li Man and Li De would probably not tolerate Qin Man's staining at home and continue to live, he still couldn't help but feel a little distressed in the face of such a thirteen-year-old girl.

However, Qin Wuran only nodded, and then forced a smile, and said to him: "My grandfather also gave me a lot of pocket flowers before, which is enough for me to live for a long time, so I don't want anything to leave home, and when I send him off for the last time, the Li family will have nothing to do with me." ”

said it decisively, but without the slightest sense of anger, Qin Wuran knew that the reason why she could stay in the Li family for so many years was because of Old Lady Li's strength, and now that he is gone, she can no longer be a burden to others.

has simply walked for a hundred, the sky is high and the sea is wide, there is always a place for him.

What's more, Old Lady Li also left her two roads, so she wouldn't starve to death no matter what.

She was already thinking so in her heart, even if the elders of the Li family didn't want to be biased, they could only follow what she said. It's just that when he was leaving, he mentioned it to Li De, saying that this old mansion was still for her to live in before Qin Wuran decided to leave, and the two of them could not take it back.

"The two brothers have also had a good life over the years, not bad for this old house, nor bad for this Li Ji restaurant. She's only a thirteen-year-old, so what can't you tolerate her? ”

What the elder said was serious, but in the end, Li De was not a person who could listen to the opinions of others, although he heard this in his ears, he didn't care much at all.

After a few days of resting, it was finally time to be buried, the Li family already had their own ancestral grave, and it was not too far away, so the daughters-in-law of Li De and Li Manhe began to pack up the relics of Mrs. Li.

These things are all to be burned to Old Lady Li, after all, Daqi's customs for many years have been like this, but some valuable things are still ignored by them, Qin Wu doesn't know, and no one dares to care.

And in the empty space that everyone cleaned up, Zhao Li finally found Qin Wuran.

"The old man gave me something before he died, saying that he was afraid that his sons and daughters-in-law would see it and sell it for money, so it was better for me to burn it to him secretly, so that maybe he would be able to fulfill his last wish when he went underground. But I thought that this was also a knot in his heart, and he was making his own assertions, so he kept this thing for the time being. ”

As he spoke, he took out a small bag, which contained several handwritten booklets, a thick pile, which showed how much effort had been put into it.

"What is this?" Qin Wu is unknown.

Maybe the moment she got it, she understood everything.

Since he was young, he traveled far and wide, collecting delicacies from all over the world, which are included in these booklets, and when he returned, he wanted to open a shop to restore the world's delicacies. It's just that the shop is open, and the craftsmanship is still there, but it hasn't resisted the sudden change, the shop is gone, and the heart has sunk. ”

With her fingers gently brushing the four big words "Shanhe Recipes" on the book, Qin Yanran remembered the Shanhe restaurant in the largest bazaar in the imperial capital. He had a lifelong dream that was shattered by his own daughter's own hands, how desperate should he be at that time?

Qin Wuran couldn't think of it, but she could understand that Old Lady Li must have had an unfulfilled wish.

"You don't have to burn this recipe for him, who can taste it underground? Give it to me. Qin Wuran also made up her mind after all.

Old lady Li's wish before her death, she should try her best to fulfill it for him.

However, after all, this is something that Old Lady Li has been persuaded for a long time and has not been able to get her to agree, so hearing this, Zhao Li looked at her in disbelief, "Have you thought clearly?" ”

"Uncle Zhao rest assured, even if I don't have the ability to do it myself, I will definitely find a suitable person to do it, so that my grandfather will know it, and he should feel very gratified."

Zhao Li knew that she was actually not confident in her bones, but at this time, she could only shake her head and sigh lightly, and handed over these volumes of mountain and river recipes to her.

When they were buried, Li De and Li Man did not stop Qin Wuran from being with them, and they were safe and sound on this day, and no one came to the Li family's old house to find Qin Wuran's trouble.

But after the first seven, Qin Wuran knew that her uncle and aunt's tolerance for her had reached the highest level, and she was ready to say her final goodbye to Old Lady Li.

It's also time to leave the Li family.

I bought incense and paper money, and I picked up the best things in the shop, and the shopkeeper in the shop also recognized her when I settled, and asked while fiddling with the abacus: "Didn't the head of your family come before?" Why did you buy these on your own? ”

Qin Wuran was waiting for the two families to leave, and smiled slightly at the shopkeeper at this time, "I want to go and see it alone." ”

Hearing this, the abacus in the shopkeeper's hand forgot to continue dialing, and his eyes widened and he said, "What is this like?" You are a girl's family and a grandson, and the older generation can't receive the paper money you burn. ”

There is indeed this custom in Daqi, saying that the daughter is a foreign family, and no matter how much paper money is burned, the elders of the mother's family can't accept it, so when I remember it every year, I basically don't take the girl to it.

However, Qin Wuran never believed in this, or she couldn't believe that, after all, if she did, she would completely cut off contact with Old Lady Li.

Despite the disapproving gaze of the shopkeeper, Qin Wuran still went to the grave of Old Lady Li with incense, candles, and paper money, found a position in the middle and knelt down, and while busy with the things at hand, she opened her mouth as if gossiping.

"I kept the recipe that my grandfather had written, but I didn't know if I could make it. But don't worry, even if I can't restore all the dishes in it, there are many chefs in the world, and there will always be one that can meet your requirements, and you will not be disappointed. Qin Wuran said this with a smile on her face, but no one knew the bitterness in her heart.

"I'm going to leave in two days, although my uncle and aunt also live in the old mansion by me, but I'm lonely, so I think about whether to go back to Qin's house to have a look. After all, although my mother is gone, she has a younger brother and a younger sister that I have never met, so I am really curious. ”

Maybe it was because the smoke was too big when she burned the paper, or maybe it was because she hadn't rested for a few days and her eyes were dry, Qin Wuran's eyes slowly accumulated tears, but she blinked back desperately.

"My grandfather only cares about enjoying the happiness below, don't worry about me, I went back to the Qin family to live a good life, it's a little strange to think about it. You must know that although Li Yingyue has been calling me Miss, I have never experienced what a lady from a big family looks like. ”

There was a pretense of yearning in her tone, but those who were familiar with her knew that she didn't like the Qin family's kind of place at all.

Their hearts are cold, and there are countless filthy calculations hidden in them, and they live without any human touch.

chatted like this for more than half an hour, Qin Wuran finished talking about her plans, and began to talk about the little things when she was a child, until she was finally able to make marinade alone a few days ago to when she first met Mrs. Li, the corners of her eyes were crooked, but they were still sparkling.

"At that time, I heard my mother say that my grandfather's temper was not very good, but I was really afraid in my heart, and the look on your face was really a bit bluffing, at that time I felt that the man-eating tiger was nothing more than that, and my mother did not deceive me."

"But after getting along for a long time, I knew that although my grandfather likes to train people, no matter what he says, it is for my good, and it is different from those people in the Qin family who are different from the outside, so I thought at that time, it would be good if I could live by my grandfather's side for the rest of my life."

As she spoke, she gradually lost her voice, and her throat choked, but she didn't dare to cry, she wanted Mrs. Li to see her happy, so that she could walk with peace of mind.

"Okay, don't worry about me, whether it's the Qin family or the Shen family, you won't wronged me in the face of your rented father, but grandfather, you will always only reprimand, but you will punish me less."

The second half of the sentence was full of complaints, which was also something that Qin Wuran had never said, after all, in her opinion, no matter how strict Old Lady Li was, his side was also the warmest place for her.

But now that this warm place has collapsed, she should also hold up her own piece of sky.

The paper money was burned, the incense had already burned to the end, and the curling smoke spread out in front of her eyes, and Qin Wuran was a little distracted.

But she couldn't stay any longer, so she took two steps back and kowtowed him three times.

"My grandson is gone, I have gone to live a good life, and my grandfather must be well."
