"The doctor said that the blood in my mother's brain is slowly being absorbed, so her condition will get better day by day," Li Zao raised his head and looked up at the clear and clear blue sky, "I believe she will wake up soon." ”

Su Kui suddenly suggested, "This year's New Year, come back to Sioux City with me?" ”

Li Zao was stunned, surprised, moved, and panicked.

She left Sioux City at the age of 15, is 24 years old, and hasn't been back for nearly a decade.

At first, reality did not allow it, but later married into the Lu family, her unhappy married life made her dare not go back at all, and it was difficult to face her godfather and godmother.

I still remember the year when she took a break from school to marry Lu Xiangning, Su Kui talked about it during the video with her parents, and Su's father and Su's mother rushed to Jiangcheng overnight.

As soon as her godmother heard what happened to her, she cried at the time, saying that instead of this, it was better to not recognize Li Jianxun's father at the beginning, and the Su family could take care of their mother and daughter.

She still can't forget the wrinkles at the corners of her godmother's eyes when she blamed herself and cried, and the gray hair on her sideburns.

This was not their fault in the first place, but they had to bear this self-blame, which was the most painful and unacceptable thing for Li Zao.

So later, she really didn't dare to contact them.

Godfather and godmother also know her pride, and have always learned about her through Su Kui.

"Zaojube, you know? For the first time, I felt that I didn't choose the wrong path, and I was finally able to be tough in front of Lao Su. ”

Li Zao was quite touched, his godfather and godmother have always been not optimistic about Su Kui's business, obviously the family is embroidery, but he gave birth to a thorn, let her embroider she cut the cloth, let her learn to paint She destroyed the wall, okay, then let her stay at home to manage the embroidery factory, but she doesn't, she doesn't like to be arranged, she doesn't like to be trapped at home, her parents let her go east, she wants to go west.

Therefore, the relationship between Su Kui and her father has always been strained.

"I think my godfather just doesn't say it, and he affirms you in his heart."

"Alas, if you want to get a compliment from Lao Su, it's even harder than climbing to the sky."

The two leaned against the wall and chatted for a few words, and after a while, Su Kui's mobile phone rang, which was the prompt tone of the mobile phone text message.

With trembling hands, she pulled out her phone and nervously clicked on the text message to check the balance change notification.

"Ah~~~~~~h

On the other side, Mr. Zhu, who took pictures of the twelve fans, is a lover of traditional culture.

I especially love silk.

He had already locked this set of fans at the exhibition, so today it was inevitable.

"Mr. Zhu," on the way to the delivery, Lu Xiangning chased after him, "I don't know if I have the honor to go in with you and enjoy it up close?" ”

Zhu Lizhi stretched out his hand and gestured, "Mr. Lu, please." ”

"Please."

Walking to the infield, the booth of twelve fans and twelve pictures of flowers and birds is here, and Zhu Lizhi needs to confirm them one by one.

Lu Xiangning walked straight to the peony picture and admired it up close.

He has to work in the study every day, and he has to see Li Zao's peony picture every day, and he has long been familiar with it.

If he saw it before and only doubted it in his heart, then now that he saw it without barriers, he was extremely sure.

Including the orchid fan that was taken away by his grandfather before, the orchid picture is also very similar to the one in the study.

Li Zao will practice his pen at home when he has nothing to do, and most of them will not be framed, and will wait for the rice paper to dry and then stack it together.

He once stumbled upon these paintings in a bookcase.

She painted a variety of flowers and animals, in a variety of shapes and lifelike.

He admired each one for a long time, looked at each one very carefully, and finally took the orchid picture placed on it, framed it, and hung it in the place next to the peony picture.

Very conspicuous.

However, he never praised Li Zao to his face.

And Li Zao, when he saw the painting being hung, was very happy, and he didn't mention it on his lips.

If you don't mention it, I won't say it, and over time, no one will really mention it.

Lu Xiangning stood in front of the peony picture and looked at it for a long time, and he was very sure that this painting, or these paintings, was painted by Li Zao.

But the inscription on the painting is "jujube".

Early, jujube, the same pronunciation.

In the past, he thought that Su Kui called her "early", but later by chance, he heard Su Kui call her "little sweet date", and he realized that it was "date date", not "early".

Small sweet dates, large dates......

Thinking about it, the corners of Lu Xiangning's mouth unconsciously rose, it turned out that this secret was hidden in their family's study, and he actually found out now.

Coming out of the auction house, he watched the convoy escorting Mr. Zhu home leave, and then quickly took out his mobile phone.

Li Zao's side rang for a while before answering.

"Zaozao, where are you?"

Hearing such a affectionate nickname, Li Zao felt strange and awkward, "I'm in the hospital." ”

"Well, this good news really has to be shared with my mother as soon as possible."

Li Zao sounded strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

Lu Xiangning then explained, "I mean, the works signed by your gallery have been sold at such a high price, congratulations." ”

"Thank you." It turned out that he was talking about it, and fortunately, fortunately.

"Celebrating together in the evening?"

Li Zao declined, "We celebrated by ourselves, thank you." ”

Lu Xiangning couldn't hide his loss, standing on the side of the road, a gust of wind blew, and the ginkgo leaves on the ground rolled in groups, and he looked far away and saw a whole row of golden ginkgo trees in the alley next to him.

The golden yellow is particularly bright.

In the recovery room of the hospital that year, there was also such a row of ginkgo trees outside the window, and in autumn and winter, the eyes were full of gold.

Li Zao accompanied him in the recovery room every day, from the lush green to the golden yellow, Li Zao accompanied and took care of him day and night for two whole years.

At this moment, seeing the golden color of this tree, Lu Xiangning evoked those memories that he didn't care about at the beginning but now felt extremely precious.

"Zao," he suddenly called her again, "let me see you, okay?" ”

Li Zao was in his mother's ward, except for his mother who was in a coma, there was no one else, and it was very quiet.

Lu Xiangning's words were suppressed and affectionate, and with humility and begging, her heart trembled.

If it had been before, she would have been happy enough to take off.

But now, she only has sobriety and calmness in her eyes.

"Lu Xiangning, we have been together for five years, and you have not had me in your heart for five years, and now that we are separated, there will be me? There is a saying that 'late affection is cheaper than grass', haven't you heard of it? ”

Lu Xiangning was silent, and he heard the sound of blood dripping from his heart.

This is Li Zao's unequivocal refusal.

"I thought you'd figure it out for yourself after calming down for a while."

"I don't understand," Lu Xiangning said seriously, "You wanted to divorce because of Zhao Zichu before, I admit that I ignored you several times because of her, I know that I was wrong, and you have forgiven me, isn't this matter in the past?" Now that you're going to break up, I know you're being persecuted by your grandfather, but I'm also trying to fight for it, can't you wait for me? ”

"I've been waiting for you to love me for five years, I've decided not to love you, I want to love myself."

Lu Xiangning was silent again, and his heart ached beyond measure.

It turned out that to this day, she didn't believe that he loved her.
