Chapter 362 [Only for One Man] (I)
"I know!" Ye Qinghong's voice was extremely calm, although her heart was trembling.
Tang Bao'er said: "Sister Qinghong, I also liked to dream when I was young, but as I grew older, I began to understand that people still have to face reality in the end. She smiled sadly: "When I learned to face reality, I found that I had already begun to get old. ”
Ye Qinghong said: "You Nizi is beating around the bush and saying that I am old." ”
Tang Bao'er smiled: "I didn't mean that, let alone the courage." She leaned closer to Ye Qinghong and whispered, "Sister, do you need me to summon these people to come over?"
Ye Qinghong shook her head and said, "No, I'll find anyone I want to see." ”
Zhou Xiaodie's eyesight has recovered a lot, although she can't be like a normal person, but she can at least live a normal life under the premise of wearing glasses, this marriage with the blind man is the old lady's greatest wish, Grandma Chen grabbed the hands of the two of them before she died, and she couldn't say anything, but the meaning was clear, so the blind man took this opportunity to propose to her under the pretext of Chongxi, and she agreed without hesitation.
It's three years in a flash, and in these three years, they have experienced the death of the old lady and a lot of separation, but they have always been together, and opened a silk village in the French Concession in Huangpu, because of Bai Yunfei's care, no one dares to find trouble with them, Zhou Xiaodie is ingenious, the blind man can speak well, the business of the two is getting better day by day, and the small life is also prosperous, but the biggest regret of the two is that they have no children now.
The blind man didn't mind this, saying that it didn't matter if he didn't have children for the rest of his life, so that no one would disturb their little two.
After getting married, the blind man kept to himself and completely became a good family man, buying breakfast for Zhou Xiaodie every morning, and then going to open the door by himself.
Because of the Chung Yeung Festival, the recent business is particularly hot, most of the filial sons and grandsons buy cloth for the elders to buy clothes, Zhou Xiaodie recently hired two tailors, and started a ready-to-wear business, far better than the blind in terms of business acumen.
The blind usually open the door at nine o'clock, and generally speaking, the period between nine and half past nine is usually no business, and the blind man is just used to prepare. But today just opened the door to a guest, the blind man heard the wind chimes at the door, so he said happily: "Come, you are the first customer after the opening of our store today, come, take a look inside, east and west, north and south, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, the best clothes and materials are everything, you can pick hard, I like you to give you a discount......"
When the blind man saw the person clearly, the boss with his mouth open pulled off his sunglasses and said in surprise: "Ye Qinghong?"
Ye Qinghong laughed, she nodded and said, "Boss An still recognizes me!"
The blind man raised his head excitedly and shouted upstairs: "Wife, wife! Look who's coming, look who's coming!"
Zhou Xiaodie, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, leaned out of the window half of her body, and from such a distance, she just vaguely saw that it was a woman, and she couldn't remember who it was for a while.
The blind man said excitedly: "Miss Ye, Ye Qinghong, you know, you know......"
The blind man was a little incoherent, and he even had a sour nose, not because of Ye Qinghong's reunion after a long absence, but also because in his heart Ye Qinghong was Luo Lie's closest person, he even thought that Ye Qinghong and Luo Lie would eventually come together, at his grandmother's funeral, Luo Lie and him said that they were married. The blind man was shocked at the time, and he thought that with the relationship between Luo Lie and himself, there was no reason why Luo Lie had not informed him of such a big matter as Luo Lie's marriage.
What made him even more unexpected was that Luo Lie married Lan Ximei instead of Ye Qinghong, and the blind man left without even having time to ask for details, he thought that Luo Lie would come back soon, because he would marry Zhou Xiaodie after serving the funeral, but Luo Lie didn't come, and he didn't even send blessings to his best friend, which was always a knot in the blind man's heart.
In a sense, the blind man feels somewhat similar to Ye Qinghong, that is, he was ruthlessly abandoned by Luo Lie, and there is no explanation or excuse.
Zhou Xiaodie recognized Ye Qinghong, but she and Ye Qinghong did not have too deep friendship, if you trace back to the source, it should actually be hatred, but Zhou Xiaodie has already let go of her past grievances, despite this, what Zhou Xiaodie can do to Ye Qinghong is just polite.
Ye Qinghong visited the silk village of the two of them, and symbolically bought a silk scarf, although the two of them said that they did not want to accept money, but Ye Qinghong still insisted on paying, this return made her feel as if everything had not changed much, but it seemed that everything was completely different.
Ye Qinghong declined the invitation of the two to stay for lunch, and when there were the most guests, she quietly left, walking alone to the Waibaidu Bridge not far away, looking at the guardrail of the hard steel structure, feeling that her heart was repeatedly rubbed by the hard edges and corners, Ye Qinghong wanted to cry freely, but she couldn't cry.
She didn't tell anyone that the reason why she came back was not because she came back on a whim, but because she had received a letter from where the appointment was made, and the appointment was a week later. But thinking about it carefully, Luo Lie never seemed to have given herself any promises, and he didn't even say a word of love for her, Luo Lie didn't seem to have the need to explain, Ye Qinghong wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she finally didn't refuse.
Ye Qinghong arrived a week early, only she knew the torment of this voyage, she came early to get familiar with the place where she once lived, and wanted to retrieve the memories of the past, but in the end all the reasons were defeated by a real reason, she has always looked forward to meeting him. It's been three years, whether he has her in his heart or not, whether he thinks about her or not, but she only has him in her heart.
"Miss Ye!" The blind man's voice sounded behind him, and when he found that Ye Qinghong was gone, he quickly put down the business in the store and chased him out.
Ye Qinghong turned her head and smiled at the blind man: "You are not busy in the store, what are you doing here?"
The blind man laughed embarrassedly: "Today's business is too busy, I was really sluggish just now." ”
Ye Qinghong said: "But don't say that, if you really think so, then you will be outside." ”
The blind man smiled: "I haven't seen you, I haven't seen you for several years, in fact, I have a lot of things I want to tell you, Miss Ye, you have nothing else, right?"
Ye Qinghong shook her head, and suddenly regretted her expression.
The blind man said, "I invite you to dinner." ”
Ye Qinghong said: "I just came out of Tang Bao'er's house for breakfast, and it's early at noon." ”
The blind man touched the back of his head embarrassedly and said, "Then stand and say a few words." ”
Ye Qinghong nodded with a smile and said, "Cheng, just say it here." ”
The blind man said, "Oh, Miss Ye, have you seen Luo Lie in the past three years?"
Ye Qinghong already understood when she heard him ask, in the past three years, Luo Lie had not contacted him, she shook her head and said, "If you don't say it, I almost forgot that there is this person." "It's an understatement on the lips, but there are a thousand tastes in the heart.
The blind man said: "I came when my grandmother died, I thought he would come to my wedding, but he didn't come, I haven't seen him since, all these years, all my friends have inquired about him, all of them have not heard from him, I thought you could have news of him." ”
Ye Qinghong shook his head and said: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we have long broken contact, and the last time we met him was when there was an accident in Huangpu." ”
The blind man said, "You...... Do you know about Luo Lie's marriage?"
Ye Qinghong nodded, pursed her lips and smiled: "He didn't say anything, he didn't have a chance to congratulate him." ”
The blind man said: "I don't know if it's true or not, he said that he married Lan Ximei, but in the past three years, they have been like evaporating from the world, no one knows their whereabouts, I am worried that something will happen to him." ”
Ye Qinghong said: "Don't worry, Luo Lie has the ability to protect himself, and he also has the ability to protect the people he wants to protect, he won't have an accident." ”
The blind man said, "Hearing you say that, I feel better in my heart." ”
Ye Qinghong said: "It's good to be able to see you when I come back this time. ”
The blind man smiled: "Me too, think about the past, I didn't cause much trouble, Miss Ye won't hate me, right?" Ye Qinghong shook her head and said: "I have never held a grudge, the past is gone, sometimes I occasionally think of the past, and I miss it very much, I want to go back to the past, but unfortunately time will not go back." ”
The blind man nodded and said, "Actually, we old friends have rarely seen each other in the past three years. ”
Ye Qinghong said: "You are from all over the world, and it is not easy to get together. The blind man said: "But it's not, Zhang Changgong went back to Baishan, Lu Weilin went to Nanyang, Arnold took Martha back to Europe, they all often have letters over, unlike Luo Lie, who has been completely cut off in the past three years." ”
Ye Qinghong said: "They are all married?"
The blind man said: "Except for Zhang Longbow, who is still single, everyone else has a family." He looked at Ye Qinghong and said, "Miss Ye is still alone now?"
Ye Qinghong smiled and said, "I'm used to it." ”
The blind man said: "Otherwise, I will send a telegram to Lao Zhang tonight to see if everyone can come to Huangpu for a gathering." ”
Ye Qinghong shook her head and said, "No, I'll leave next week, even if they can all come, I won't be in time." ”
The blind man's face was full of disappointment: "Miss Ye, since you are back, why don't you stay for a while, maybe...... Maybe you can meet Luo Lie. ”
Ye Qinghong stroked her hair that was blown away by the wind, and said softly: "It's good to see it...... if you can't see it" She felt that she couldn't continue to talk to the blind man anymore, because their old memories could never get around a name, Ye Qinghong said: "Go back, your wife can't be busy alone." ”
The blind man said, "Then tomorrow, tomorrow night, we will invite you to dinner." ”
Ye Qinghong shook his head and said: "No, in fact, I came back this time to deal with the domestic industry, and I will leave when I finish processing, the time is very tight, or it should be like this, I will come to visit before I leave." ”
The blind man listened to her resolutely, so he had to nod.
