Chapter 7 Revisiting the Old Place
Lin Fei left the main house and went directly to his childhood room. I took the key from my handbag and opened the door, and a dull musty smell hit my face. The key was taken away by her, and the maid naturally could not come in to clean it, and there was a thin layer of dust on all the objects.
Walking into the house, her hand gently brushed over those things that she was very familiar with, and clean traces appeared, but the dust adhered to Lin Fei's hand.
Walked to the window, opened the window, and let the wind blow in, the wind blew through her eyes, Lin Fei felt more sober.
She found a small linen book in the old desk, the paper inside was yellowed, and the title page read-Lin Fei's girl's thoughts. This book records her past, and the part that overlaps with Chen Chuanlin. She and Chen Chuanlin are childhood sweethearts. Adults will always jokingly ask her if she is Chen Chuanlin's little daughter-in-law, Lin Fei can still see that her and Chen Chuanlin's little faces are red in a trance, and they look up at each other and quickly lower their heads, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from adults. However, these were all things a long, long time ago, and Lin Fei felt that she was about to forget. Putting the notebook into his handbag, Lin Fei walked out of the room again. She couldn't remember the last time she came, and she didn't want to think about whether she would come next time.
Lin Fei met Steward Zhao in a hurry in the courtyard. An idea popped into her head. She hurriedly stepped forward to stop Steward Zhao: "Uncle Zhao." Steward Zhao was stopped, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the granddaughter of the Qiu family who had not stepped into the house for a long time. He stopped, not respectfully but politely asked, "Miss Lin, is there anything you did to stop me?" ”
Miss Lin? Lin Fei was stunned. Didn't everyone call her Miss before? By the way, it seems that after Lin Zhaorong and Qiu Yun divorced, everyone changed their minds. Forget it, Miss Lin is Miss Lin, anyway, it's not wrong. She stabilized her mind and replied, "Uncle Zhao, you should have a copy of the key to the room at home, right?" Can you give me the one from my dad's room? ”
It's my dad's room, not my mom's room. For as long as Lin Fei can remember, her parents have slept in separate rooms. She didn't understand, she just knew that her mother's attitude towards her father was very bad. She seems to be able to find some grievances about her parents in everyone's secretive smiles, but no one will tell her in detail what the reason is.
Steward Zhao looked very embarrassed. Lin Fei chased after him: "I know you have one there, give it to me, please." ”
Steward Zhao was still in a hurry to do the things that Old Man Qiu handed over to him, and it was not a way to spend time with Lin Fei. After weighing the pros and cons in her heart for a while, she felt that it didn't matter if she gave her the key, anyway, no one would enter that room except Lin Fei.
"Okay, Miss Lin, please come with me." He couldn't always carry the key with him, so he had to let Lin Fei follow him to the residence to get it.
He turned to leave, and Lin Fei also followed quickly.
After getting the key, Lin Fei was at war in his heart, should he go to his father's room to have a look? Let's go, I don't know when the next opportunity will be.
Walking into his father's room, Lin Fei looked around, and tears fell without warning. Tears blurred her vision, and she seemed to see her father teaching her to practice calligraphy at the desk again, and her father tied her braids in the bathroom. This room holds so many memories between her and her dad. Qiu Yun didn't like her when she was a child and never allowed her to enter her room. Lin Fei felt that he and his father were very similar to strangers under the Qiu family's fence, and his father should think the same way. So when she was admitted to college, her father took her away from the Qiu family, and time flies, and seven years have passed.
"Miss Lin, you are here, the banquet in the front yard is about to start, and the old man is waiting for you." The voice of the servant came from behind him, and Lin Fei woke up from his memories. Trying to steady her breathing, she didn't turn around, but just responded, "I know, I'll go over now." ”
The maid left, Lin Fei walked quickly to the bookcase, found a wooden box on it, opened it, and sure enough, it was still there! She took out the contents, which were a photograph and a brooch. Putting her things in her purse along with the keys, she withdrew.
Lin Fei walked into the main house and saw that the guests were already seated, and she didn't stand there abruptly, so she walked to the nearest vacant seat.
"Scarlet! Come and sit with my grandfather. Lin Linfei really wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it, but he couldn't save his grandfather's face. In the face of the inquiring eyes of the guests, she had to straighten her back and walk over there.
When I got closer, I found that the position on my grandfather's right hand was actually vacant, and Qiu Yun was sitting on his left. Lin Fei couldn't understand, on the right, shouldn't it be her uncle Qiu Chao? Why is there still a vacant seat between my grandfather and my uncle? Was it left for her?
"Scarlet, what are you thinking? Come and sit next to your grandfather. ”
was brought back to her senses by her uncle Qiu Chao's words, and Lin Fei had no choice but to sit next to her grandfather.
Lin Fei swept around the people at the table, she only knew her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins Qiu Wei, and the others may also be other members of the Qiu family, but she was not impressed.
Her eyes stayed on the man of the same age as him next to Qiu Hao, and she remembered that the Qiu family and Qiu Hao were the only ones of the same age, her aunt Qiu Wan's son, Xie Yujun. But my aunt's family has always moved around the house less, and she didn't see my aunt. Naturally, it was impossible for Xie Yujun to come back alone to attend the Qiu family's family banquet. So who is this man?
