After Xia Xiaoqin and Xia Xiaoling met, they urgently returned to Xiajia Village with 500 yuan.

Xia Xiaoling wants to take advantage of the fact that the 500 yuan is not publicized, and get the letter of introduction first!

Xia Xiaoling took 200 yuan to Xia Xiaoqin, asked her to wait at the entrance of the village, and returned home with 300 yuan.

Xia Xiaoqin didn't know what Xia Xiaoling said to Miao Cui, and after about ten minutes, she came out of the house with a small baggage.

"Let's go, I've got a letter of introduction and a letter of certification."

After leaving Xiajia Village, Xia Xiaoling didn't dare to relax her vigilance, she looked around all the way, worried, until she arrived in the county seat, and then breathed a sigh of relief!

"Free...... I'm free......"

Xia Xiaoling wanted to hold her face and cry, but after her hands were raised, it turned into laughter again.

Xia Xiaoqin is very happy for Xia Xiaoling, but the matter is only halfway through now, and Xia Xiaoqin doesn't dare to take it easy now.

"Sister Xiaoling, let's go to Aunt Lan first."

Xia Xiaoling hurriedly nodded: "I still have to apologize to Aunt Lan." ”

Xia Xiaoqin smiled: "Sister Xiaoling, you are really ...... Too honest. ”

It was not Xia Xiaoling's fault that the tofu was snatched, but she thought that she would apologize to Zheng Lan.

There is still something to say between Xia Xiaoqin and Zheng Lan, but now is obviously not the right time.

Xia Xiaoqin hid her inner story, first handed Zheng Lan the special products of the capital that Zheng Kun specially marked as the gift, and then talked about what happened today.

Zheng Lan thought that Chiba Tofu hadn't been delivered, maybe Shen Shu had gone to Shangdu to pick up Xia Xiaoqin, but she didn't expect there to be such an inside story.

Looking at Xia Xiaoling's whole face wrapped in gauze, Zheng Lan was really distressed, and it was too late.

"Isn't it just a cart of Chiba tofu, you just give it to him, how can you hurt yourself like this for tofu!"

"Aunt Lan, in fact, I'm very happy now, I've finally gotten rid of the family!"

Zheng Lan shook her head and said, "The sin you suffered like this is too great, it's really not worth it." ”

"Aunt Lan, thank you for caring about me. I can't stay here any longer, I have to get out of here. If my parents knew that I had 200 yuan in secret, they would have killed me! ”

"Don't panic, I'll introduce you to a place, where you live in Ansheng, your family will definitely not find you!"

The place introduced by Zheng Lan is the compound of the county party committee, and there is a two-bedroom room on the first floor where Zheng Lan's husband's aunt Grandma Meng lives.

Grandma Meng has been taking care of Zheng Lan when she was most frustrated, and now Zheng Lan respects Grandma Meng as a close relative and often comes to see her.

Zheng Lan asked Xia Xiaoling to live in Grandma Meng's place first, this is the compound of the agency, Xia Youjin definitely didn't think that Xia Xiaoling would be here.

After arranging Xia Xiaoling, Zheng Lan and Xia Xiaoqin returned to Xiangmanyuan.

There is a small backyard behind the Xiangmanyuan, where Zheng Lan lives.

The first time Xia Xiaoqin entered the backyard, she was very curious about this elegant yard, especially the grafted stump moon tree in the courtyard, which opened Xia Xiaoqin's eyes.

"Come and sit down." Zheng Lan stood under the eaves and waved at Xia Xiaoqin.

There is a round stone table under the eaves, and there is only one fixed stone bench, and Xia Xiaoqin sits on the small wooden bench that Zheng Lan moved under the eaves.

"Aunt Lan, this moon tree is so beautiful, it must be beautiful when it blooms, right?"

"It's beautiful and it's fragrant."

This strain was moved by Zheng Lan from the old house, and when the flowering period arrives every year, Zheng Lan misses her husband very much.

Zheng Lan glanced at the notches on the stone table, and the ten notches represented that she had lived here for ten years, and also represented her self-alertness ten years ago, vowing to live a good life and never be sluggish again.

Zheng Lan showed a stretched smile and began her story.

"My daughter's name is Meng Li, she is a very cute child, if she is still alive, she will definitely become good friends with you."

"My husband's name is Meng Ran, he is an excellent biology teacher, and he grafted this strain for me."

"When I met him, he had just returned to China, he was a standard returnee talent, we fell in love at first sight, love can't extricate myself, for him, I resisted the marriage arranged for me by the family, and insisted on marrying him."

"After we got married, we were very happy and soon had children of our own. However, the unexpected came quickly......"

Zheng Lan took a deep breath and continued: "His ingredients are not good, he has to be decentralized, at that time, there were too few people who could help us, even my mother's family was struggling. ”

"Actually, I shouldn't be resentful of my family, I can get to this point, and I still have the help of my family, but I lost my husband and my children during the most difficult period."

"No one could understand how sad and helpless I was, and I even thought about sleeping underground with their father and daughter."

"My dad found me two months after Xiaoli left, and he asked me if he regretted it."

Zheng Lan smiled self-deprecatingly, "I know, he asked me if I regretted leaving the capital with Xiaoli, not if I regretted marrying Meng Ran after I did." ”

"But I was already sad and confused, and I was like crazy, and I scolded him and kicked him out, and said a bunch of hurtful things."

"I don't remember his facial features anymore, but I remember that at that time, his hair was more than half gray, and he had to walk with a cane."

"For the next five years, I lived a chaotic life, relying on Meng Ran's aunt to take care of me, until ten years ago, when I received the news of my mother's death, I was completely alert."

Speaking of this, Zheng Lan's eyes were already full of tears: "My brother sent a telegram to me to go back, what is the use of me going back?" I haven't even been able to see my mother for the last time, will my mother forgive me for being an unfilial girl? ”

"After my brother finished my mother's posterity, he came from the capital to scold me, and after two months, Zheng Wei was transferred to Anxian County."

Zheng Lan wiped the tears on her face with her hand: "Zheng Wei said, when I return to the capital, he will be transferred out of here." ”

"Seven years ago, he was the secretary of the county party committee of Anxian County, and according to his qualifications, even if he didn't have help from his family, he should have been transferred, but he just wouldn't leave."

"Because of me, he gets together less with Xiao Kun and his younger siblings and leaves more, I have long reflected on myself and persuaded him to leave. But he insisted that I go with him, so he dragged it around, and he had been in Anxian County for ten years. ”

"I suddenly heard Ogawa say, when my dad saw you, I was very angry. After my aunt found out, she persuaded me to hurry back to the capital, and she also said that every year my father would come to Anxian County to thank her, and more importantly, to take me back to the capital. ”

"My aunt knew that I hadn't fully opened up and rejected him every year. In order to take care of my feelings, I specially asked not to let him see me. ”

"My aunt also said that he didn't come this year, it must be because his health doesn't allow it, and persuaded me to hurry back to the capital and not let the regret of ten years ago be staged again."

"I thought about it all night last night, and after waking up, I found that I have done a lot of wrong things over the years, delayed many people, I don't want to be wrong anymore, I have already made a decision - to go back to the capital!"

Xia Xiaoqin agreed with Zheng Lan going back, Old Man Zheng's body looked really bad.

"Aunt Lan, when are you going to go back?"

"In the past few days, the buyout of Chiba tofu will end today, other restaurants in Anxian County want to buy from you, you hurry up to expand your business and work hard to make money to redeem your mother's jade pendant."

Xia Xiaoqin shook her head again and again: "Aunt Lan, Chiba tofu was sent to another family, this is my breach of contract, according to the agreement, I want to compensate you for your losses!" ”

Zheng Lan smiled: "I have nothing to lose, Xiangmanyuan will be closed tomorrow, and I broke the contract." ”

"Aunt Lan wants to take out the incense garden?"

"Xiangmanyuan will close the store, but it won't go out, I like this yard very much, and I will come back often to see it."

When Zheng Lan spoke, her eyes kept staring at the Lian Pile Moon Season, as if she saw her husband standing in front of the Lian Pile Moon Season pruning branches.
