When I was a child, I still remember that my grandparents' hair was very black and bright, but later Cheng Xi saw the hair of the two old men gradually turning gray day by day, until it became pale, and there were more and more folds on their faces.

But I finally left, and I don't know what happened to my grandparents after leaving? It must be sad to leave them on your own, right? I've been here for a few years, how are they doing? Are you still sad about your departure? Or have you gradually forgotten yourself, as if you came here, you don't dare to think about it, and try to seal those memories?

Cheng Xi didn't know that his face at this time was already full of tears, and the tears kept falling down like pearls with broken threads, and his eyes were full of indescribable sadness.

When Xu Sanlang came over with a handful of water, he happened to see such a scene.

The thick sadness in his eyes made Xu Sanlang both heartbroken and flustered, hurriedly put down the water on his shoulder, walked quickly over to Cheng Xi's side and sat down, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on Cheng Xi's face in a panic, and asked, "What's wrong?" Why did you cry all of a sudden? ”

The tears on Cheng Xi's face were wiped more and more, and he didn't make a sound, he just kept shedding tears, and then said in a somewhat ethereal voice, "Xu Sanlang." ”

Xu Sanlang wiped his tears for Cheng Xi and responded, "Here, I'm here." ”

Then Xu Sanlang heard Cheng Xi speak softly again, "I miss home, I miss my family." ”

Xu Sanlang suddenly felt that Cheng Xi in front of him was talking to her in the same tone, and he became a little ethereal, as if he would be blown away in the next moment, and then disappear.

The panic in his heart changed for no reason, Xu Sanlang didn't dare to think deeply, but suddenly reached out and hugged Cheng Xi tightly into his arms.

There are some things that he has never studied deeply, not because he doesn't want to, but because he doesn't dare, he is willing to always believe that Cheng Xi is Cheng Xi, the Cheng Xi who grew up in Shiqiao Village.

But there are some things that he doesn't think about, they won't exist, just like those things he has never heard of, just like the things that Cheng Xi has made up that others never know.

He always knew that there was a mystery hidden in Cheng Xide, a mystery that he didn't even want to think about, he didn't explore, and she never mentioned it.

All along, she is still Cheng Xi of the Cheng family in Shiqiao Village, and he also regards her as Cheng Xi of the Cheng family in Shiqiao Village, why is it so abnormal today? Xu Sanlang looked at the wild fruit on the table very vigilantly, and regretted it very much, he wanted to bring this thing back from the mountain, the family has such a big orchard, there are all kinds of fruits, why do you want to bring these wild fruits back.

Cheng Xi, who was hugged by Xu Saburo in his arms, seemed to have finally found an outlet, and the tears that were originally silent eventually turned into choking, and finally the sound became louder and louder, and those who heard the movement and wanted to approach were frightened back by Xu Saburo's cold eyes, and then hid far away, and thought to themselves, the master over there is here, they don't need them, they should stay away.

Xu Sanlang didn't say anything, just hugged Cheng Xi like this, gently patted Cheng Xi's back, and let Cheng Xi suffer as much as he could in his arms.

Only a few words popped out of Cheng Xi's mouth from time to time, what parents, grandparents, should be those family members in her heart, right? So will she abandon him and leave here because of those family members?

Xu Sanlang knew very well in his heart that Cheng Xi's family was not Cheng's family, he didn't want to know who she was, whether it was Cheng Xi, where she came from, he didn't want to know, he just hoped that she was his Xi'er, his wife, his family, and would always accompany him.

So he didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, he just hugged him tightly, thinking wildly in his heart, Xi'er shouldn't leave him, crying so sadly, he must not go back, right? Or can't you go back?

Xu Sanlang gently patted Cheng Xi's back, thinking about it in his head until the crying in his arms gradually became smaller, and then he felt the person in his arms rubbing his chest indiscriminately.

The person in his arms seemed to have finally stopped crying enough, and Xu Saburo said, "Don't cry? ”

Cheng Xi found a clean place in Xu Saburo's arms again, rubbed the clean place again, and was finally satisfied, and then finally Xu Saburo raised his head in his arms, his nose was red and his eyes were red, and even his little face was red by her rubbing in Xu Saburo's arms.

Cheng Xi didn't say anything, as if the person who was crying in Xu Sanlang's arms just now was not her, and then began to continue to pick out the star fruit in the dustpan on the stone table, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "These star fruits are too ripe, and they are not good for soaking in wine, so they have to be picked out." ”

When Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi's appearance, he knew that she didn't want to say anything, but he was still a little flustered in his heart, so he looked at Cheng Xi and said, "Will you ...... and leave?" ”

Cheng Xi didn't look at Xu Sanlang, but continued to pick up the star fruit and responded, "I'm leaving, where am I going, this is my home, why do you want me to leave?" That's a nice thing to say, saying that you will always be with me in the future, do you want me to leave at this time? ”

Xu Sanlang listened to Cheng Xi deliberately shouting and misinterpreting his meaning, and sighed helplessly before responding, "You obviously know what I mean." ”

Hearing Xu Sanlang's words, Cheng Xi's hand picking walnuts paused, and only whispered after a while, "Don't worry, I won't leave, if I want to leave, I don't have a chance." ”

Xu Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he also had some bad feelings in his heart, it turned out that it was not that she didn't want to leave, but that she couldn't leave so she had to stay?

Xu Saburo began to self-reflect, it turned out that Xi'er still wanted to leave, did she not do well enough? Not as good as her family so want to leave? After summing up such a conclusion, Xu Saburo made up his mind that he must be better to Xi'er, so that Xi'er would not think of leaving him.

Cheng Xi didn't say where he left, nor did he mention the family again, as if this crying had never happened, he continued to pick his star fruit, and instructed Xu Sanlang to wash the hair on the outside of the star fruit she picked, and then put it in an empty clean dustpan to drain the water, so that it could be put into the wine.

Xu Sanlang didn't mention what happened just now, and he didn't ask Cheng Xi any more questions, but silently obeyed Cheng Xi's command and helped wash the star fruit.

Neither of them said a word about what happened just now.

Before the carambola was washed, Aunt Qin came over, and when she arrived in front of the two of them, she saluted and said, "Master, madam, lunch has been prepared in the main hall, and the little masters are all back, you can go over and eat first and then come over to get it." ”

Cheng Xi thought that her sister Cheng Xin went to the private school to teach on the first day, and she didn't know how, so she couldn't wait to ask her sister about the situation in the private school, so she stood up and said to Xu Sanlang on the side, "Let's go over and eat first." ”

Aunt Qin looked at the star fruit and wine on the stone table, and asked, "Then these slaves and maids will be put into the house first?" ”

Cheng Xi shook his head and responded, "No need, just put it here, after eating for a while, continue to come over and get it, don't be busy, go over and eat first." ”

While talking, Cheng Xi had already gone to the main hall with Xu Sanlang.

When the two of them entered the house, they saw that everyone had already served the table, and the food on the table had been arranged, just waiting for the two of them to come over, Cheng Xi smiled and said, "Sorry, let everyone wait for a long time, let's eat." ”

While talking, Cheng Xi had already come to the table, looking at her sister Cheng Xin sitting on the left and Ah Yi on the right, Cheng Xi should have squeezed Ah Yi aside in the past, and occupied Ah Yi's position and sat next to her sister Cheng Xin.

Yu Zhaocai looked at Cheng Xi's red and swollen eyes and reddish nose, and asked, "Xi'er, how did you become like this?" ”

Other people also noticed the strangeness on Cheng Xi's face, and they all looked at Cheng Xi with a puzzled expression, and some people felt that Cheng Xi seemed to have cried, but this person obviously didn't have a sad expression at this time, and there was a smile on his face, how could he have cried?

Cheng Xi touched his somewhat sour eyes, and then said nonsense, "Oh, eyes, I accidentally spilled wine into my eyes, and it will be like this if I am soft." ”

On the side, Cheng Xin said with a slight reproach, "Why are you so careless." ”

Cheng Xi waved his hand indiscriminately, and said indifferently, "It's okay, I guess I'll recover tomorrow after a good night's sleep." ”

Ah Wu at the next table heard Cheng Xi's words, and it was rare that he didn't tell the truth honestly, only slandered in his heart, Madam is really good at lying, he almost believed what he said, if he hadn't seen that scene with his own eyes at the time.

And Xiao Shi, who was sitting next to Ah Wu on the side, also saw the scene in the afternoon, but as if he hadn't heard what the person at the table over there said, he only lowered his head and ate silently.

After sitting down, Cheng Xi took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and beckoned everyone to eat, and everyone picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

Only Cheng Xi took two mouthfuls of rice, and then couldn't wait to get to her sister Cheng Xin's side, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, how is the class today?" Is it okay? ”

Cheng Xin raised his eyes and glanced at Cheng Xi before he answered, "It's good, the children are very well-behaved." ”

Cheng Xi replied with a smile, "That's good." ”

The corners of Cheng Xin's lips curled, as if she was smiling, only she still had a mask on her face, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, but Cheng Xi was sure that Cheng Xin was undoubtedly happy at this time, Cheng Xi said in her heart, it was really a good idea to let Cheng Xin go to a private school to teach the children.

Cheng Xin looked at Cheng Xi and suddenly became stunned, but she sandwiched a chopstick dish for her, and said, "Hurry up and eat." ”

Ah Yi, who was squeezed aside by Cheng Xi and isolated from Cheng Xin, was once again squeezed away from his wife by his own master, sitting next to his master at this time, the resentful eyes kept floating towards Cheng Xi, especially watching Cheng Xin pick up vegetables for Cheng Xi, the resentful eyes were even stronger, was it obviously the treatment he deserved?

Of course, Xu Sanlang on the side also noticed Ah Yi next to him, and made up his mind to be better than Cheng Xi before, seeing that Ah Yi had been staring at his Xi'er, and he was endless, so he unceremoniously threatened in a cold voice, "Look at your eyes again." ”

Ah Yi didn't hesitate at all, he simply didn't look at Cheng Xi, but looked at Xu Sanlang with a resentful face, and his eyes seemed to say again, if you want to dig you, just dig it.

Xu Sanlang saw that Ah Yi was no longer staring at Cheng Xi, but staring at himself, but he felt that it didn't matter, there was still Ah Yi looking at him, and he continued to eat his own food.

After lunch, Cheng Xi urged a few children to take a lunch break, and then instructed a few words of Mama Wang, who was arranged by Ah Yi to take care of the diet and daily life of several children, so that she could take care of them, remember to wake them up on time, go to the private school on time in the afternoon, and then follow Xu Sanlang to his own small building.

Only halfway through Cheng Xi did he speak, "Ah, it's wrong." ”
