Chapter 463: Sisters
There is such a coincidence in the world.
Song Yuanchao didn't expect that on the way home, he met a woman who crossed the ocean from the United States and came to Jinling to ask for directions, and it would be Ying Caixia's cousin.
Ying Annie, this is Anne's name, she is the daughter of Ying Caixia's second uncle, and she is the daughter of the second young master of the Ying family who went south before the liberation of Jinling, and later went to the Taiwan Strait.
Ying Caixia's second uncle Ying Shibo first served in the government there after going to the Taiwan Strait, and later got married locally. Ying Annie is two years younger than Ying Caixia, and there is a big brother on it.
When Anne Ying was born, Ying Shibo had already left the Taiwan Strait to settle in the United States, and she grew up in the United States and never returned to the mainland. The memory of his hometown in the mainland only exists in the story of his brother and sister at Yingshibo.
Ying Anne had just graduated from college, and in the gap between graduation and preparing to find a job, she took the initiative to come to the mainland to find the whereabouts of her grandparents and uncle's family in order to fulfill her father's wishes.
In this way, Ying Annie went through the procedures for returning to China through the channel, crossed the ocean to Huhai first, stayed in Huhai for two days, and then took the train from Huhai to Jinling.
When he learned of Annie Ying's identity, Song Yuanchao specially asked her for her passport, and after reading the passport, he determined that what Annie Ying said was the truth, and Song Yuanchao told her the location of Ying's old house.
To Annie Ying's surprise, this well-mannered man, who was slightly older than her, now lived in her family's old mansion and knew her cousin.
"This is your old home." Led Ying Annie to the door of the house, Song Yuanchao pointed to the stone carving on the gate and introduced.
"This is the old mansion that my father kept talking about? My father grew up telling my brother and me about the ...... of his old house. Looking at the gate of some years, as well as the wall full of vicissitudes of time, Ying Annie's expression was a little complicated, her eyes were full of curiosity, yearning, memories, and more expectations.
"Let's go in and have a look." Song Yuanchao took out the key and opened the door, and took her into Ying's house.
When she walked into Ying's house, the scenes inside gave Ying Anne the feeling of traveling through time and space, returning to many years ago, back to her father's childhood, feeling that her father was born and grew up here, accompanied by his childhood, youth and youth The best years.
Every display in the old mansion made Ying Anne stop, stretched out her hand to caress the stairs, and looked at the withered panes, which were shining in the sunset outside, everything was printed with a dim yellow, making people feel that the old mansion seemed to be whispering to the returning descendants about their past .......
Song Yuanchao learned a little about the Ying family's old mansion from Ying Caixia, and he told Ying Annie, who was immersed in this feeling, what he knew, and Ying Annie also found the past that her father had told her about in some of the only old things left, which made her feel a lot of emotion in combination with reality.
All the way to the back garden, looking at a tall fig tree in the garden, Ying Annie's eyes suddenly lit up, and she ran over in three steps and two steps, stretched out her hand to caress the trunk, and looked up at the branches.
"That's it! That's it! I didn't expect that after so many years, this tree is still there! ”
Ying Annie was very excited, she turned to look at Song Yuanchao, and said to Song Yuanchao: "Do you know? My father told me many stories about the fig tree, and he said that he was very naughty when he was a child, and he used to hide and seek with his brother in the yard, and he liked to climb the tree to hide from him. ”
"He also told me that the figs from this tree were very delicious, and that when the figs were ripe at the beginning of summer, my grandfather would take the servants of the house to pick them and distribute them to his neighbors, and that was the happiest day for him, because he could happily eat a large basket of very sweet figs by himself......
As she spoke, there were tears flashing in the corners of Anne's eyes, and she touched the thick trunk and said: "My father also told me that the fig tree is a very useful tree, and its fruit is delicious and has other functions. ”
It can be seen that Anne Ying has a very good relationship with her father, she loves her father very much, and she also deeply remembers the past stories that her father told her about her hometown from childhood to adulthood.
It is precisely for this reason that the young Ying Anne will return to the mainland alone and come to Jinling, so as to find this place, for her father and for herself.
Song Yuanchao quietly listened to Annie Ying's narration, looking at her sometimes bright, sometimes immersed in thoughts with a sad smile.
It was getting late, and when Ying Anne was still looking for traces of the past that her father had said in various parts of the garden, Song Yuanchao felt that it was a little inappropriate to get dark, and it was now time for dinner.
Just as he was about to step forward to say something to Annie Ying, there was a sound of the door opening the door, and it was Sun Yaoliang who came back.
"Third brother! Today I....... Sun Yaoliang entered the door and saw Song Yuanchao's dual-purpose car parked in the front yard, he knew that Song Yuanchao had arrived home, and walked directly through the triple courtyard to Song Yuanchao's room, and halfway through, he saw Song Yuanchao standing in the backyard, walking towards him quickly, talking as he walked.
Halfway through his words, Sun Yaoliang suddenly saw a stranger in the backyard, and this stranger was actually a woman, a young and beautiful woman.
The moment he saw Annie Ying, Sun Yaoliang was stunned, and at this time, Annie Ying's eyes happened to fall on Sun Yaoliang.
"Let me introduce to you, this young lady is Ying Annie, the descendant of the Ying family, Ying Caixia's cousin, who has just come from the United States. This is Mr. Sun Yaoliang, my classmate and friend, and my current colleague, who now lives here like me. ”
"You...... Hello, Miss Ying, Huan...... Welcome...... No, no, no, congratulations on returning to ...... old mansion. Sun Yaoliang, who can speak well on weekdays, didn't know how to speak for a while, and a short sentence was turned upside down by him, and it was not easy to express what he meant.
"Hello Mr. Sun, it's a pleasure to meet you." Ying Annie looked down-and-out and generous, and she seemed to be the first woman who did not have any contempt for Sun Yaoliang's honor, looking at Sun Yaoliang, her eyes were still clear, and she stretched out her hand to Sun Yaoliang with a sincere smile.
Sun Yaoliang was slightly stunned before he reacted, and hurriedly reached out to shake her hand, and immediately put the other party's hand like an electric shock.
At this time, the last rays of sunset happened to fall on Annie Ying's smile, Sun Yaoliang was stunned for a while, he stood there in a daze, but he didn't know what to say.
"It's getting late, let's eat first." Song Yuanchao was afraid that Ying Anne would misunderstand, so he hurriedly interjected.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"This ...... Isn't it too much trouble? ”
"It's not troublesome, the two of us don't usually cook, we are all at Grandma's house across the door. I just bought a Jinling roast duck today, you haven't tasted the food in your hometown when you come back this time, right? Let's go over together and let you have a good taste. ”
"By the way, when it comes to Grandma Sun, I don't know if your father told you, Grandma Sun and your grandmother are good friends who grew up together, classmates in college, and old neighbors for many years."
"It's her old man! I heard my father mention Grandma Sun, and I was about to visit her when I came back this time, but I didn't expect her to live here? Ying Annie was very surprised.
"I've lived there all my life." Song Yuanchao smiled: "Your cousin's family was taken care of by Grandma Sun back then. Oh yes, I'll call Caixia after dinner, she no longer lives in Xiangjiang in the mainland, and she can't make international calls here, but it doesn't matter, my husband and I are good friends, his husband is now working in Pengcheng, give him a call first, and then ask him to notify Caixia and let Caixia call. ”
"Great! Mr. Song, I'm really sorry for you. Ying Anne was overjoyed and thanked Song Yuanchao again and again.
Song Yuanchao waved his hand and said with a smile What is the trouble is not troublesome, they are not outsiders, if you want to say that the trouble is still him and Sun Yaoliang, after all, they are now living in the old mansion of the Ying family, as the direct descendants of the Ying family, Ying Annie is one of the owners here, and they are guests.
With Ying Annie, the roast duck bought back, and Sun Yaoliang who followed behind, they went to Grandma Sun's house.
Granny Sun had already prepared a meal and waited for them to come back, but she didn't expect to wait for an unexpected guest today, this guest was Ying Annie, the daughter of Ying Shibo, the second young master of the Ying family.
When she saw Ying Annie, Grandma Sun was stunned at first, and then looked at Ying Annie carefully, and Song Yuanchao introduced Ying Annie's origin on the side, and after learning that she was Ying Shibo's daughter, Grandma Sun was very happy, and nodded again and again and said that it was really like, she and Ying Caixia sisters were both like their grandmothers, and her eyebrows seemed to remind her of the past when she was young and her grandmother studied.
Holding Ying Annie's hand, Grandma Sun was very happy, and asked her a lot about Ying Shibo, since he left Jinling that year, there has been no whereabouts, more than 30 years have passed in a flash, if Ying Caixia's parents are still there, her grandparents are still there, how happy it will be to see the return of relatives today!
As she spoke, she shed tears and raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, Grandma Sun laughed at herself and said that people are easy to be sad when they are old, today is a good day, it is a good day for Anne to come back, and the descendants of the Ying family are finally back, which is worth celebrating.
After having dinner at Granny Sun's house and staying for a while, Song Yuanchao saw that Granny Sun's spirit was a little weak, so he said that it would not be too late to talk about anything during the day tomorrow. Anyway, Ying Annie will stay in Jinling for a few days, and she will live in the old mansion opposite, just a few steps away, and some will continue to chat.
In addition, today he will contact Ying Caixia in Xiangjiang and tell her the good news. Grandma Sun nodded again and again when she heard this, took Annie Ying's hand and explained a few more words, telling her that she must come to see her tomorrow, and she still had a lot to say to her.
For Grandma Sun, Annie Ying is also very enthusiastic, and it can be seen that her enthusiasm is not the kind of superficial falsehood, but the kind of closeness and sincerity from the heart.
After talking a few more words to Granny Sun, he reluctantly returned to the house, Song Yuanchao went to the phone and dialed Pengcheng's number, and soon Qin Zhengguo's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Because something happened before, Qin Zhengguo has a lot less entertainment these days, and he goes home honestly after work, otherwise he may still be eating with people in the previous time period.
bluntly said about Ying Annie on the phone, and Qin Zhengguo was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly promised to contact Ying Caixia in Xiangjiang immediately.
hung up the phone, waited for a while, the phone rang, and after connecting it, Ying Caixia's familiar, anxious and excited voice came from the phone.
After a brief conversation with Ying Caixia, he handed the microphone to Ying Annie, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, Ying Annie took the microphone and said "sister", when this title came out of Ying Annie's mouth, Ying Caixia was obviously a little irrepressible excited and sobbing on the phone, shouting "Sister...... ”
got up and walked out of the room silently, closing the door by the way.
Song Yuanchao strolled to the steps of the backyard and lit a cigarette.
Taking a puff of cigarette and watching the surging smoke rise from his fingers and gradually melt into the moonlight, Song Yuanchao's heart couldn't help but think of his parents and his relatives ......who had already remembered Mohu.
