Chapter 238: A Familiar Stranger
After breakfast, Xiao Mayuan and Nuan Nuan played in the yard, the courtyard door was locked, and they were not afraid of running outside.
Ma Yuan played with the ball, Nuan Nuan rode a scooter to chase, and after catching up, he kicked the young lady with his little feet.
After a while, Ma Yuan was not tired, Nuan Nuan was so tired that she stuck out her tongue like a puppy.
"Come back and drink some water." Kong Yumei walked out of the house, still carrying their own small kettles.
Seeing this, Nuan Nuan kicked her little foot on the ground, slipped over, and reached out to take her frog kettle from Kong Yumei's hand.
Xiao Mayuan walked over unhurriedly at this time and took another small deer kettle.
Then he held the kettle and sat on the steps in front of the door.
Seeing this, Nuan Nuan hurriedly got off the scooter and sat down beside her.
The two little ones sat in a row in front of the door, facing the warm sun of early winter, the breeze curled, swept the ends of their hair, and playfully lifted a strand of hair.
The two of them wiped a handful on their faces in unison.
Kong Yumei took a chair out, sat in front of the door, and looked at the two little ones leisurely, she hadn't been so comfortable for a long time.
"Grandma, is Dad back?" Nuan Nuan hugged the small kettle and turned around and asked.
"No, not so fast."
"Well, if only Dad could fly." Nuan Nuan cupped her cheeks and sighed.
"How can a man fly? Unless by plane. Kong Yumei said with a smile.
"Of course I can fly, and my father said, when I grow up, my wings are stiff, and I will fly away."
Nuan Nuan said, turning her head and trying to look behind her to see if there were any small wings.
Looking at Nuan Nuan like a simple puppy, Kong Yumei laughed and looked at the blue sky.
"When the child grows up, he will fly away."
"So, did mom fly into the sky and become a star?" Nuan Nuan asked curiously.
At this time, Xiao Ma Yuan next to him quietly tilted his head sideways and looked behind him.
"yes, so don't fly away in the future."
Kong Yumei's heart was a little gloomy when she heard this, but a smile appeared on her face.
"Okay." Nuan Nuan agreed very simply.
"I'll stay with my grandmother forever." Warm and cheerful.
Then he added: "And Dad, Grandpa, Grandpa and Grandma. ”
"Good, good, Nuan Nuan is really good." Kong Yumei smiled happily.
"Oh~oh~" Xiao Mayuan said with wide eyes next to him.
"I know, I know, you don't fly away."
"Hi Hi Hi ~"
Mayuan squinted her eyes and grinned, making an expression that I was happy with now.
"But...... But why can't I see the wings? Nuan Nuan looked puzzled.
"Probably invisible." Kong Yumei said casually.
But Nuan Nuan nodded seriously, and said matter-of-factly: "I think it should be, otherwise I wouldn't have seen other people's wings." ”
As he was talking, there was a sound of the door opening the door.
"Daddy."
Nuan Nuan stood up with a sudden, and ran in the direction of the door.
But after running two steps, he seemed to remember something, ran back again, and pulled up Xiao Ma Yuan, who was still in a daze, to run together.
But before they could run over, the courtyard door opened, and Yun Shiqi appeared at the door carrying a plastic bag.
It turned out to be my grandfather who came back from grocery shopping.
"It's grandpa, I thought it was my father." Nuan Nuan disappointed.
"What's wrong with grandpa? Not happy to see my grandfather? "Yun Shiqi is a little jealous.
Hearing this, Nuan Nuan raised her head and glanced at him with slanted eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Yun Shiqi saw her funny little appearance, and didn't understand what she meant for a while.
"Daddy brought us something delicious."
"I bought you something delicious too." The clouds that want to be strong in their lives rise from time to time, not to be outdone.
As he spoke, he opened the plastic bag and took out a box of chocolates with a warm look on his face.
"Wow~"
Nuan Nuan happily reached out to take the chocolate in Yun Shiqi's hand, pulled Xiao Ma Yuan and turned around and ran, directly throwing Yun Shiqi in place.
Cloud Time Start: ......
Feel...... It seems to have been fooled.
But this is impossible, it must be my own delusion, how can I be deceived by a child when I am such a big person? ——
When Song Ci arrived in Jiangzhou City, it was almost half past four in the afternoon.
After such a long trip, not to mention that Song Ci was a little impatient, even Nuan Nuan, who was waiting at home, was a little impatient, and asked him where he was after several phone calls.
"I haven't been here for years, and now it's changed so much." Ma Zhiyong just got off the high-speed train and couldn't help but look amazed.
When he was in college in Jiangzhou City, the most familiar place, in addition to the school, was probably the train station.
"I used to take the train, but now this is a high-speed rail station, which is different, but now the railway station is also very well built." Song Ci said.
"It's really going fast."
Looking at the spacious, bright and atmospheric, comparable to the high-speed rail station of the airport, Ma Zhiyong couldn't help but let out a heartfelt admiration.
Song Ci pouted quietly when he heard the words beside him, as for the reason, every Jiangzhou person was somewhat disdainful in their hearts.
Jiangzhou City itself actually has no characteristics, just occupies the name of a provincial capital, and then completely relies on policy "support" to create a modern city, that is, it has wronged the surrounding neighboring cities, and the finances have been sucked dry by Jiangzhou City.
Because there is no thing of their own, whenever someone from other provinces asks Jiangzhou people what are the interesting places in Jiangzhou City and places worth visiting, most of the people in Jiangzhou City give a suggestion to the high-speed rail station.
Because the high-speed rail station in Jiangzhou City is one of the best high-speed rail stations in the country, the north and south are vertical, and you can go to other interesting places in the country by taking the high-speed rail.
Although this is a paragraph, it also illustrates a lot of problems from the side.
For example, Song Ci, who wants to take Nuan Nuan out to play on Saturdays and Sundays, seems to have no other places to go except the park.
There is no natural landscape, no cultural attractions, the heritage seems very thin, not to mention the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, which is only more than 100 kilometers apart, even a few neighboring small cities, can not compare.
Out of the high-speed rail station, a group of five people, no need to call a taxi in Song Ci, there are already several commercial vehicles parked outside the high-speed rail station waiting for them, these are all arranged by Su Wanting's father Su Dingyuan.
Although his base camp is in the mountain city, there are also many business contacts in Jiangzhou City, and when others come here to say hello, naturally many friends and businessmen have arranged a car for him.
And he and his wife Jiang Wenyue, as well as Ma Zhiyong's parents, were also waiting for them early.
Song Ci also met them for the first time.
Although Su Dingyuan is over sixty years old and has gray hair, his waist is straight and his momentum is very strong.
And Jiang Wenyue, who followed him, was also very well maintained, a person in his sixties, who looked like he was in his fifties, with a string of pearl necklaces and a kun bag, looking elegant and temperamental.
As for Ma Zhiyong's parents, Ma Guoliang and Wu Xiurong, they are both a little short and fat, and Ma Guoliang is even a little down, but they also look very kind.
They look much older than Su Dingyuan and his wife, but when they speak, their voices are very loud, and their waists are straight.
This probably has something to do with their professions, one is a physics teacher, and the other is a museum worker.
It can also be regarded as a home of scholars, whether it is talking or behaving, it is very comfortable.
He was looking at the other party, and the other party was also looking at him, seeing that Song Ci was burly and tall, and his appearance was dignified, he had a very good impression of him.
Everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, and without delay, they went straight to the lakeside Yunlu.
At this time, at the home of Yunlu by the lake, Nuan Nuan and Xiao Mayuan were sitting at the dining table, looking at the table full of fruits and snacks.
"Grandma, are these for us to eat?" Nuan Nuan asked curiously.
Then he reached out and grabbed a plate of candy on the table.
"No, it's for guests."
"Guest?"
"Yes, Xiao Mayuan's family is coming today." Kong Yumei said.
"Little Sister's family."
Hearing this, Nuan Nuan tilted her little head to remember what the young lady's family was like.
Then the image of Xiao Mayuan wearing Song Ci clothes appeared in my mind, this is my father, and then the image of Xiao Mayuan wearing a flower skirt and a ponytail appeared, this is my mother......
It's a pity that these images are all short and fleshy, and Nuan Nuan was amused by what she thought.
The joy of a child is as simple as that.
At this time, there were two people sitting on the sofa chatting.
"Xiaohou, we haven't seen each other for many years, and I'm going to trouble you this time." Yun Shiqi said to a person sitting across the sofa.
And this person is Officer Hou Licheng.
The welfare institute itself belongs to the jurisdiction of their sub-bureau, and he has been following up on Xiao Mayuan's affairs, so Yun Shi made a phone call and called him directly.
Yun Shiqi himself and his master, Officer Hu, have been friends for many years, although they have retired and have not been in contact for many years, but the love is still there.
So he made a phone call, Hou Licheng didn't say a word, and rushed directly to Yunlu by the lake, of course, there must be some other thoughts in this, so I won't go into details.
"Don't bother, that's my duty in itself."
Officer Hou, who was sitting opposite Yun Shiqi, was very respectful.
"Relax, don't be restrained, I'm retired now, and I'm not your leader, just treat it as my own family." Yun Shi said with a smile.
"I can't say that, although you have retired, in my heart, you are still my leader." Officer Hou said this, but he also relaxed a little.
In fact, Yun Shi has been in a high position for many years, and he is a criminal investigator, so he naturally has a shocking temperament that is intimidating.
Ordinary people who are a little more timid stand in front of him and can't speak.
is the only father and daughter of Song Ci who don't take him seriously, one is angry with him, and the other sticks to him.
At this time, Kong Yumei brought him a cup of tea, and Hou Licheng hurriedly got up to take it.
"It's estimated that there are a lot of things today, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave you to eat at night, wait for you to come back in two days, I'll ask your aunt to cook something delicious, and the two of us will have two drinks."
"Don't bother." Hou Licheng hurriedly said.
"You, where does your Uncle Yun want to keep you for dinner, just to take the opportunity to drink." Kong Yumei said with a smile.
Kong Yumei said this beautifully, if she refuses again, it will be inappropriate.
So Hou Licheng immediately said: "Since this is the case, then you must be disturbed." ”
"You call and ask, see when Song Ci and they arrive." Yun Shi Qi said to Kong Yumei.
When Kong Yumei heard this, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Song Ci.
"Already at the gate of the community?"
As soon as the phone was connected, I heard Song Ci say that people were about to arrive.
"It's pretty fast." Kong Yumei put away her mobile phone and said.
Then he turned his head and walked towards the two little ones.
"You two, don't eat, grandma will help you wash your face."
The two little ones ate all over their faces, so they took them to the bathroom to wipe their faces, and rubbed baby cream on them, and immediately became two fragrant babies.
"Yumei, people are already here, hurry up and bring the child out."
At this moment, there was a shout from outside the courtyard.
Kong Yumei hurriedly pulled the two children out of the door, and then saw Song Ci leading a group of people into the courtyard.
"That's a lot of people." Kong Yumei thought to herself.
At this moment, Nuan Nuan suddenly broke free of Kong Yumei's hand and ran towards Song Ci.
"Daddy."
She threw her hands behind her back, bowed her head and rushed forward.
"Be careful." Song Ci hurriedly put down the bag in his hand and stepped forward and hugged her.
"Did you miss me?" Song Ci asked.
"Yes." Nuan Nuan said loudly.
Then he kissed Song Ci on the cheek.
And the others who followed Song Ci and entered the courtyard, their attention was all on Xiao Ma Yuan, who was pulled by Kong Yumei.
At this time, Xiao Mayuan also let go of Kong Yumei's hand and stepped forward.
Ma Zhiyong hurriedly pushed Su Wanting's wheelchair and greeted her.
"Little Mayuan."
Su Wanting's eyes were full of tears, and her voice trembled a little.
Xiao Mayuan tilted his little head slightly, looked at her, and continued, "It's beautiful." ”
"It's me, it's Mom." Su Wanting held back tears and nodded.
"And me, I'm Dad." Ma Zhiyong, who was standing behind him, couldn't wait to speak.
Xiao Ma Yuan looked at him stunned for a few seconds, and then said, "Ma Chubby." ”
"Yes, it's me, I'm Dad, it's Mom."
Ma Zhiyong's eyes were red, and he pointed at Su Wanting who was in a wheelchair with a little choked up.
At this time, everyone else walked behind the two of them, looking at Xiao Mayuan with a slightly excited expression, although they had already seen the photos, but after seeing the real person, the feeling was different, and the two old people were red, and quietly wiped their tears.
Xiao Mayuan looked at the two of them, paused for a few seconds, and then nodded, as if to say that she knew.
Then he walked over to the two of them with his little feet.
Ma Zhiyong squatted down excitedly and opened his arms to hug her, although Su Wanting was in a wheelchair, she also subconsciously opened her arms.
But......
Xiao Ma Yuan ignored them, walked directly past them, came to Song Ci, and then opened his arms.
"Oh~"
She looked up at Song Ci with her little face up.
Looking at Xiao Mayuan's appearance, can Song Ci not hug her? Although the timing is not good, it can't break the little one's heart.
So without the slightest hesitation, he bent down and picked her up.
"Xiao Mayuan, did you miss me?"
"Think, hi~"
Xiao Mayuan nodded, and let out a short laugh.
Others: ......
Especially Ma Zhiyong and Su Wanting, they lowered their arms a little embarrassed.
As if everything was their wishful thinking, Xiao Mayuan didn't really care.
The original sad atmosphere was diluted a lot, but soon I felt sad again.
Although they are Mayuan's parents, they don't mean anything, they are just familiar strangers to Mayuan.
Jiang Wenyue stepped forward and gently patted her daughter on the shoulder and comforted: "Take your time, Xiao Mayuan was too young when she left your side, for you, there must be no feelings, and it is understandable." ”
"Don't stand in the yard, let's go inside." Kong Yumei walked forward slowly.
"Mom, let me introduce you."
Song Ci stepped forward with the two little guys in his arms and introduced the two sides to each other.
Seeing that such a big family came to their family, Kong Yumei was also a lot more relieved about Xiao Mayuan's future, at least it showed that they attached great importance to Xiao Mayuan.
And Xiao Mayuan's grandmother and grandmother also seem to be kind people.
Yun Shiqi and Kong Yumei are looking at this big family, and this big family is also looking at the two of them.
Su Dingyuan directly talked to Yun Shiqi.
And when Ma Zhiyong listened to Song Ci's introduction of his mother-in-law Kong Yumei, he fell into deep thought, and after a while he asked tentatively, "Are you Professor Kong?" ”
"You know me?" Kong Yumei was a little surprised.
"I went to university at HKUST, and I heard you talk about the history of ancient literature." Ma Zhiyong said excitedly.
Ma Zhiyong's memory is very good, even though it was more than ten years ago, he still remembers it clearly.
I didn't recognize it at first, because Kong Yumei was much older than in the past.
"HKUST? I think I've been to class. ”
It's been too long, and she goes to many universities every year to give lectures, Kong Yumei doesn't remember much, but there should be such a thing.
"Professor Kong, thank you so much, thank you for taking care of Xiao Ma Yuan......"
Invisibly, Ma Zhiyong is much closer to Kong Yumei.
For a while, the atmosphere became more harmonious, and Song Ci also put Xiao Mayuan down and let her talk to her mother, grandparents, and grandparents.
But the family surrounded Xiao Ma Yuan in the center, and the little guy became a little nervous.
She picked up the whistle on her chest and blew it.
"Shhhhh
At that moment, a large hand rested on her head.
She looked up, and Song Ci was standing behind her at some point, looking down at her with a smile.
"Don't be afraid, I'm behind you."
"Shh~"
Xiao Mayuan blew again, this time slowly and long.
