Chapter 229: I'm afraid you'll wait too long
This morning, Long Chengang and Tian Tian went out to the airport together, Long Zeting had to go to work, and there was no way to send it, so naturally Long Chengxuan went. Before leaving home, he also specially told Zhang Xiaomo: "Stay at home honestly and don't go out." If you really want to take a walk, that is, walk in the yard, at most in the community, you are not allowed to go out of the community. β
Zhang Xiaomo also understands his body, so he naturally nodded obediently.
After sending everyone away, she read a few pages of a book at home, felt a little bored, and wanted to go out for a walk. In fact, this is also because she has been at home for too long recently, and she is a little idle and panicked. Otherwise, she wouldn't be bored, let alone staying at home for a few hours, even if she stayed at home for ten days and half a month.
With this in mind, she simply put the book aside, got up and walked outside. Of course, she also said hello to Grandi before she went out, so as not to worry him. As for security, the first is that this community is inhabited by some important people, and the security of the community has been strengthened a lot after the last shooting, so she is not worried.
Besides, she also knew that in secret, Long Chengxuan must have arranged someone to protect her, but she didn't know where it was.
With these layers of security, she pushed open the courtyard door and walked towards the central garden. It's mid-autumn now, the weather is just right, the sun is not dazzling, and the cool autumn wind is blowing, which is very comfortable. Coupled with the particularity of the community, it is actually very elegant and beautiful. Along the way, I was in a good mood.
Now that she thinks about it, she usually stays with Long Chengxuan, so much so that she ignores these beautiful scenery. While walking, you can see a large number of hydrangeas, as well as blooming triangular plums, and redbuds fall from time to time on the trees, although they are not as beautiful as the legendary cherry blossom blowing snow, but they are better than the scenery, the atmosphere is good, and it is more relaxing.
"That girl over there, can you do me a favor?" Suddenly hearing an old voice, Zhang Xiaomo was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and saw an old man standing by the pond.
She hurriedly walked over: "Is there something wrong?" β
"I was sitting here and fell asleep and got my hat in the pond, can you help me get there?" The old man was a little embarrassed: "This is the hat that my little grandson bought with the pocket money he saved, if it is gone, he will definitely have to cry for a long time." β
Knowing the earth-shattering posture of the child crying, coupled with the fact that this is the child's filial piety, she smiled and nodded. After looking around, he found a branch not far away, so he walked over and picked it up, reached out and hooked it, but it was still a little close. Only a little bit of the brim of the hat was reached, but instead of getting the hat over, it pushed it farther.
This is a cotton hat, which has absorbed a lot of water now, and it seems that if it is not fished out again, it is afraid that it will sink. Zhang Xiaomo thought about it, went to the other side and picked up a branch, then pulled a wild morning glory vine and wrapped it tightly, then stretched it out and hooked the hat back.
However, although the old man said that he didn't care about the dirty hat, he was a little unhappy when he looked at him. At this time, she remembered that there was a place not far away where the flower worker washed his hands and sprinkled water, and she smiled and told the old man to wait, took the hat and rinsed it there, soaked the dirty marks on it a little, and rubbed it all away.
Only then did she take her hat back to the old man: "Put it here to dry, this weather has sun and wind, and it will dry quickly." β
The old man was happy: "Which girl are you?" I don't seem to see you very often. β
"I ...... is Long Chengxuan's fiancΓ©e. Because the wedding didn't take place, she couldn't tell others that she was the daughter-in-law of the Long family, so she could only call herself a fiancΓ©e.
After hearing this, the old man was dissatisfied: "What's the matter with this guy Long Chengxuan?" Isn't it all? It's just a drink, and I won't even give you this identity? β
I didn't expect the old man to know this, she was a little surprised, but she still nodded: "No, before introducing me to everyone, if I say this directly, it will probably bring me a lot of danger." Ah Xuan asked me to say this to protect me. He...... It worked very well for me. β
Hearing her say this, the old man nodded: "I grew up watching this stinky boy, although he is usually a little bored, but he is still very good." Well, he also has a good eye for people, as good as his father. Tian Yatou is also a good girl. β
It seems that the relationship between this old man and the Long family is really good, otherwise he would not have such a close name to the people of the Long family. Zhang Xiaomo smiled: "Well, everyone is very good and loves me very much." β
As if he saw something, the old man smiled: "Girl, you are not bad, it is said that you saved Zhao and his mother, and you also recognized your godfather." And...... Speaking of the Zhang family in C City, it is too low-key and not involved in politics, so everyone thinks that the Zhang family is actually just an ordinary businessman. Speaking of this, the old man didn't say anything, but just smiled: "The old man of the Li family should regret it." β
Saying this, Zhang Xiaomo remembered that she had grandparents in her memory, but she had never had grandparents, and her parents had never said it, so she always thought that her grandparents had passed away: "My grandfather and their family ......"
The old man knew that she didn't know about the existence of the Li family at all: "This matter, if your parents don't tell you, I can't say it, so as not to say that my old man chews the root of his tongue." Wait, I guess they'll come over when you get married. β
Seeing that the old man didn't say anything, she didn't force it, anyway, she had lived so long without her grandparents, and two more relatives, that's what happened.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaomo didn't ask, the old man was a little surprised, but in the end he just smiled: "Little girl, I heard that you went to the plateau to do medical assistance, are you tired?" β
"Fortunately, the conditions on their side are too difficult, adults are fine, but it is more difficult for children to be born and grow into adults. That's why the people over there are very precious children. Because it's not easy. Obviously someone else asked her, but she answered a different question, obviously not thinking that it was a big deal to go to that kind of place for medical assistance.
But speaking of which, this is the third time she has done medical assistance, and she has long been calm about these things.
The old man, on the other hand, was very interested in the affairs of the Tibetan area and chatted with her.
She was bored, and secondly, she thought that the old man was sitting here alone at such an age, and his family should be too busy to accompany him, so she patiently chatted with the old man.
"Xiao Mo, you are here." I don't know how long we chatted, until Long Chengxuan called her, she didn't react, as if she had been sitting here for a long time. She stood up with a smile: "Well, I was walking around the community, and I met this grandfather and had a good chat with him." β
When Long Chengxuan saw the old man in front of him clearly, he immediately gave a standard military salute: "Good commander!" β
The old man waved his hand: "It's been a few years since I retired, don't be so serious anymore." β
Long Chengxuan also smiled and put down his hand: "Commander, how about chatting with Xiao Mo?" β
The old man also understood what he meant: "The little girl is good, much better than you." Be kind to her in the future, let me know that you dare to bully her, be careful that I beat you! After speaking, he picked up the hat that was hanging on the side: "Little girl, I'm leaving." If you have time, come to my house and sit down, and the third courtyard in the east is my house. β
"Hey, okay!" Zhang Xiaomo responded in a daze, and then watched the old man leave, before she turned her head to look at Long Chengxuan: "This is the commander?" β
Long Chengxuan was a little helpless and sat down beside his wife: "Well, the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region." I used to be under him, too, and then I was transferred. It's been three or four years since I retired. He usually lives at his son's side, and it is estimated that Grandma's festival day is approaching, so he is back. β
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaomo nodded: "Oh! Feel...... He was quite good, and he chatted with someone like me for a long time. β
Long Chengxuan also smiled and nodded: "I'm also a little surprised, why did he talk to you." You know, since Grandma Sun passed away, he doesn't usually talk to others much. β
She didn't know this anymore, maybe it was because she helped pick up the hat, or maybe she helped wash the hat? But no, a person like him, even if he retreats, there should be guards by his side, but he was indeed sitting here alone just now.
After expressing the question in his heart, Long Chengxuan shook his head: "The commander used to sit here and chat with Grandma Sun before. Grandma Sun's family used to be very good, but in order to break with the commander, she broke with her family. Accompanied him through the most difficult years, it is said that during the big wave of that year, Grandma Sun's family came, and as long as she nodded, she could take her abroad, but she chose to stay. β
"What's good abroad." She was not convinced when she heard this: "Being looked down upon by others, being bullied, and dealing with an unfamiliar environment. If it were me, I wouldn't want to go abroad. When she said this, her arm tightly held Long Chengxuan's hand, as if she was afraid that if she let go, she would be arrested by others and taken abroad.
Her cute appearance amused Long Chengxuan, and she reached out and touched her head with a smile: "Grandma Sun didn't leave, and then she lost contact with her family." From now on, no matter how busy the commander is, he will find time to accompany her, just because he is afraid that she will be alone. I just didn't expect it...... Grandma Sun left first. Later, the commander often sat here alone, and his son, fearing that something would happen to him, took him to live there, and only on Grandma's festival did he come back for a few days. β
After listening to this story, Zhang Xiaomo also sighed a little in his heart: "So, Ah Xuan, we all have to live well, okay?" Let no one be left behind, or ...... The one that was left was so pitiful. β
Long Chengxuan was amused by her exclamation: "At the beginning, someone told me that she would definitely not die before me." So somebody has to live a long time. β
"No, I won't let you wait too long for me." Zhang Xiaomo smiled and leaned his head on his shoulder: "I'm afraid that if you wait too long, you will forget me." β
This...... Is it fateful to live three lives? Don't let you wait too long on the bridge, or I'm afraid you'll forget me?
Knowing what she meant, Long Chengxuan lowered his head and kissed her on the lips: "Silly Nizi, no matter how long it takes, I will never forget you, and I will always wait for you." β
