In the blink of an eye, the dawn of dawn has awakened the sleeping earth and urged people to wake up from their sleep quickly.

As soon as Xu Xinmeng got up, she heard the sound of pots and pans colliding together in the kitchen, she ran to the kitchen and said loudly: "Mom, when are we going to go to Yi Nan?" ”

This question made Xu Lu's heart nervous again, she was silent, and she only cared about preparing breakfast in her hand.

Xu Xinmeng thought that Xu Lu didn't hear and asked again, Xu Lu answered the question, and said, "Breakfast is ready, hurry up and wash up and have breakfast." ”

"Oh......" Xu Xinmeng was a little lost, she didn't know what was wrong with her mother.

During the meal, Xu Lu knew that she couldn't hide, so she had to speak: "Mom has been used to living alone all these years, and besides, I can't give up my group of students, I don't want to live in Yi Nan." ”

When Xu Xinmeng heard this, he hurriedly said: "My father and I have long thought that even if you remarry, you can continue to stay in Baiying to teach, and my father said that he will come back with me often to see you on weekends." ”

Xu Lu fell into deep thought when she heard this, and the reason she had been thinking about for a long time was easily vetoed by Xu Xinmeng.

Until she finished breakfast, Xu Lu still didn't think of a reason to refuse to go to Yinan, so Xu Lu drove Xu Xinmeng to Yinan, her heartbroken and extremely happy homeland, again.

She thought that since it was useless to persuade Xu Xinmeng here, she would go to Xia Jiangjie to make it clear, so that he would stop thinking about remarriage in the future, and it was best to find someone to marry as soon as possible and have a baby of his own, so that he would no longer focus on their mother and daughter.

At this time, in Yi Nan, the exhibition pictures had been moved from Ruan Linsheng's studio to the place where Ruan Linsheng was going to open the exhibition, and Tong Li and Ruan Junhao also followed Ruan Linsheng into the exhibition hall.

According to the annotations on the design drawings, the workers carefully took the exhibition drawings into the hall and placed them in the corresponding positions according to their names.

The theme of this exhibition is of great significance, not only to make people pay attention to their elderly parents, but also to donate all the funds auctioned after the exhibition to the corresponding welfare institutions, in an effort to improve the living standards of the elderly.

Tong Li was overjoyed to look at this work, Ruan Linsheng has devoted himself to painting over the years, and handed over all matters to her to manage, it can be said that he trusts her very much, they have spent nearly 20 years of married life happily, and in the next 20 years and even the next 20 years, Tong Li hopes to go on happily with Ruan Linsheng.

When the workers carefully hung the non-sale item in the most conspicuous place of the exhibition, Tong Li was so shocked that she blurted out: "Xu Lu! ”

Tong Li couldn't help but be happy in her heart, Ruan Linsheng actually took out the works he painted for Xu Lu back then and auctioned them, which showed that he had completely put Xu Lu down.

But after a closer look at Tong Li, she felt that something was wrong, this painting was marked with three eye-catching big characters - not for sale, and the Xu Lu she saw when she accompanied Ruan Linsheng back to China was long-haired and waist-high.

Tong Li thought about it again, this is Ruan Linsheng's new work, this person is definitely not Xu Lu, and suddenly Tong Li thought that the person in the painting was not the girl's mother she saw in the hospital? She is Xia Xinjing's younger sister, and she is the culprit who caused her son in a car accident.

For a while, countless thoughts flashed through Tong Li's brain: Ruan Linsheng knows Xu Lu's daughter? Ruan Linsheng and Xu Lu have been in contact all these years? Ruan Linsheng didn't know that the girl who died was Xu Lu's daughter......

And Tong Li's reaction was noticed by Ruan Junhao, he never understood why his mother didn't like Xia Xinjing, and now he has the same attitude towards Xu Xinmeng.

After all the paintings were placed and the workers left one after another, Tong Li still stood motionless in front of the picture.

Ruan Linsheng also noticed Tong Li's strange appearance, he gently walked in front of Tong Li, and said: "This work was also painted by me in the Gongle Nursing Home, and it is most in line with the theme of this exhibition. ”

Tong Li tried to adjust her emotions, and deliberately asked softly, "Don't you think that the little girl in the painting looks like a person?" ”

Ruan Linsheng looked at the painting intently, and he didn't answer Tong Li's question, because it was obvious that he didn't have to answer the answer.

Tong Li asked again, "Do you know the little girl in the painting?" Do you know who she is?"

Ruan Linsheng didn't want to beat around the bush, nor did he want to hide anything, so he replied: "I know her, she is a student at the Academy of Fine Arts of Yinan Normal University, her name is Xu Xinmeng. ”

Hearing Ruan Linsheng's answer, Tong Li suddenly felt extremely aggrieved in her heart, and said: "You know that I am not asking about this, I am asking you, do you know the relationship between her and Xu Lu?" ”

Since Tong Li tore up Ruan Linsheng's painting, she has never mentioned Xu Lu's name again, but she didn't expect that after so many years, when she mentioned Xu Lu's name again, she could still feel the heart-rending pain.

"Yes, I know!" Ruan Linsheng didn't want to quarrel with Tong Li, but the anger in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, and finally focused on his tone.

Tong Li heard that Ruan Linsheng was so angry, and asked: "Okay, you don't paint so many students who go to nursing homes, you prefer to paint Xu Lu's daughter, and you don't plan to sell it when you show it after painting, do you also want to treasure her daughter?" ”

"You can rest assured that I will give this painting away after it is displayed, it will never appear in front of you again, and you don't have to think about tearing it up!"

At this time, Ruan Junhao remembered why when he saw this painting, he always felt that he had seen this girl on the painting when he was very young, and it turned out that he had seen Xu Xinmeng's mother.

Ruan Lin was afraid that the consequences would be more serious if he continued to quarrel, so he turned around and left, and before leaving, he did not forget to tell Ruan Junhao: "I will go back to the studio first, and you will take care of your mother." ”

At this time, Ruan Linsheng's heart was already like a knife, after so many years, Xu Lu was the beauty that he couldn't go back to, and he quietly treasured her in the deepest part of his heart.

And Tong Li has long been a relative-like existence for Ruan Linsheng, he did not leave Tong Li because of his parents, and now as a husband and father, he will not leave his wife and children who will take care of him for the rest of his life.

This is a responsibility and responsibility, although the person he loves has always been Xu Lu, but his personality makes him know that he will never betray Tong Li, so he will only feel more ashamed of his conscience.

At this time, Tong Li, who came back to her senses, grabbed Ruan Junhao tightly and said, "Junhao, do you know who Xu Xinmeng is?" He is the daughter of your father's first love, and after so many years, your father has never forgotten Xu Xinmeng's mother. ”

This thunderbolt on a sunny day made Ruan Junhao suddenly realize, and he knew that this was the reason why Tong Li didn't like Xia Xinjing and Xu Xinmeng.

Seeing that Ruan Junhao didn't react, Tong Li was extremely nervous and said, "When I saw you and Xia Xinjing together, I was really scared, her mother has already snatched your father's heart, do I want her to take you away?" Her mother has always felt guilty about Xia Xinjing's death, but her mother didn't expect it to be this result. ”

"If you ever thought that Xin Jing would have an accident, then would you agree that I would be with her?"

Tong Li shook her head again and again and said, "No, anyone can be your girlfriend, but Xu Lu's daughter just can't!" ”

Ruan Junhao was very sad when he heard it, he knew that it was impossible for him and Xu Xinmeng to pass Tong Li's level now, and it was almost impossible for her heart knot to be untied in the future.

Looking at the miserable Tong Li in front of him, Ruan Junhao couldn't bear it, Tong Li walked extremely the road of love, and even made people sympathize, as her son Ruan Junhao wanted to comfort him at this time, but when he thought of Xia Xinjing and Xu Xinmeng, he didn't have any motivation.

In the end, Ruan Junhao just said: "After so many years, you each have your own family, this is a fact that cannot be changed, Mom, you don't need to think so much, I'll send you back to rest first!" ”

Tong Li was originally afraid that Ruan Junhao would be furious and reprimand herself after knowing that she had objected to him and Xia Xinjing being together, but she never thought that Ruan Junhao was unexpectedly calm, which made Tong Li feel a lot of comfort.

Tong Li, who calmed down, found that she was a little excited just now, now Ruan Linsheng and Xu Lu are no longer single, they both have their own families and children, and it is impossible to get together again.

Thinking about Tong Li's mood is also much better, she knows that love is not possession but respect for each other and give each other a certain amount of freedom.

Tong Li has told herself countless times that as long as Ruan Linsheng doesn't go to Xu Lu, even if he still has Xu Lu's place in his heart, she can tolerate it, but in fact, every time she sees Ruan Linsheng caring about Xu Lu so much, she is in pain and suffering.

After sending Tong Li home to rest, Ruan Junhao went to the studio to find Ruan Linsheng.

At this time, Ruan Linsheng was looking at the painting he painted for Xu Lu back then and fell into deep thought, and when he saw Ruan Junhao coming in, Ruan Linsheng subconsciously covered the painting and put it in the cabinet again.

Ruan Linsheng asked, "How is your mother?" ”

"It's okay, go home and rest."

Ruan Junhao could feel Ruan Linsheng's concern for Tong Li, but he also felt that Xu Xinmeng's mother must occupy a very important position in Ruan Linsheng's heart.

For so many years, Ruan Junhao has always seen a pair of parents who respect each other and know each other, so he is not worried at all that his parents will have irresolvable conflicts because of this, and at this time he is more worried about the matter between him and Xu Xinmeng.

Ruan Junhao glanced at Ruan Linsheng and asked, "Dad, do you have any requirements for the girlfriend I talked to?" ”

Ruan Linsheng thought that Ruan Junhao would ask him about the things back then, but he didn't expect to ask about his feelings, Ruan Linsheng smiled and said, "There is no requirement, as long as you really love each other, it's enough!" ”
