The next day, the holiday officially ended. Since the bonfire party ended relatively late, considering everyone's sleep, the plane did not depart from Hawaii until around 1 p.m. and flew back to City A.
After relaxing, more intense work comes. With the new quarter coming, Qiheng's various departments are even busier.
Qi Haotian was sitting in the office dealing with the documents that had accumulated during the vacation. Lin Weiyang decided to go out for a walk after finishing the Anne family affairs. Firstly, he would not disturb Qi Haotian, and secondly, he wanted to see what happened in City A in the past five years.
change.
After getting Qi Haotian's permission, she changed into casual clothes. Her pure dress of shirt and jeans concealed her capable and shrewd temperament. At first glance, she looked like a student who had just graduated from university.
Because it was during the day, City A lacked an extravagant atmosphere, and the large and small commercial streets were crowded with people. Lin Weiyang felt this rare comfort quietly. About an hour later, she was in a remote house.
I sat down in front of the beef grocery store.
"Boss, let's have a bowl of beef noodles." She chose a corner seat and sat down, calling to the boss in the room.
"Okay, I'll be here soon."
After a while, a steaming bowl of beef offal noodles was delivered to her. The fragrance of beef hit her nostrils. She couldn't wait to pick up the spoon, take a sip of the soup and put it in her mouth.
The taste is still the same as what she had six years ago.
In her memory, this shop would always be open until two or three in the morning. During the four years of working in the jazz bar, as soon as her work was over, she would run here alone to eat a bowl of beef noodles. In the harsh winter
, warms the stomach and body.
After eating, he was already sweating profusely. Lin Weiyang stood up and walked into the house cheerfully, "Boss, your business is getting more and more prosperous."
The boss was a rather fat middle-aged man. He turned around and was stunned for a moment, then realized, "You...are you An Yan?"
"Yes." She was very happy that her boss still remembered her.
"Come on, come on, come and sit." The boss put down the spoon in his hand, moved two stools out of the back room, and motioned for Lin Weiyang to sit down, "Where have you been in the past six years? You disappeared so quietly that you didn't even notice.
Not a word."
Lin Weiyang smiled apologetically and immediately changed the subject, "Boss, didn't I miss your craftsmanship for five years? Now it's better, we are evenly matched."
There is no need to mention the past, she just needs to grasp the happiness in front of her.
When the boss heard Lin Weiyang praise her craftsmanship, she immediately became happy, "Little girl, not only have you become more beautiful in the past few years, but your mouth has also become so good at talking..."
"It's true..."
She chatted with her boss seriously, feeling an inexplicable sense of intimacy in her heart. It wasn't until it was almost dark that she got up and reluctantly said goodbye to her boss, preparing to return to Qiheng Group.
The files should all be processed.
※※※Walking in the crowd of familiar and unfamiliar people, his reason was gradually swallowed up by the crazy memories. When Lin Weiyang was walking at the fork in a street corner, his eyes were attracted by a figure on the street.
Although it was covered by a thin mask, it was not difficult to tell that it was an old woman who was nearly fifty years old. At this time, she was wearing an orange cleaning suit and holding a handful of bamboo weaving strips in her hand.
The completed broom was pushing the garbage truck while sweeping foreign objects along the street. His old back and shambling steps looked very strenuous.
So...is she her mother?
Not to mention the heavy feeling that overflowed from her chest, Lin Weiyang was stunned on the spot, unable to recover for a moment.
She returned to City A and sent people to the old house to try to find her mother and bring her back to New York. However, she received news that the house had already been demolished, and she did not get any news about her mother even from the neighbors.
It's not like she never thought that her mother should still be alive in this world.
Seeing that the figure was about to disappear at the corner of the street, Lin Weiyang didn't think much and immediately followed her to find out. Maybe she had mistaken the person? Maybe she just looked like her mother?
The woman first walked to the nearby garbage dump to clean the garbage truck, then walked into a very remote alley, walked through the alley, and walked into a small house.
From the appearance of the house, Lin Weiyang could imagine the rags inside. She saw several pieces of clothes that had been washed white hanging on the bamboo strips in front of the door, and the fragrance of washing powder wafted in the air.
She quietly walked into the yard and came to a window, through which she could clearly see every move in the house. After moving her steps, Lin Weiyang's eyes fell on the wall facing her direction without any obstruction.
superior.
The surprise lasted only a moment.
There are two black and white portraits hanging on the wall, one is of her father Lin Tianhua, and the other is her, the 14-year-old primary school graduation photo.
This is to pay homage to the dead.
This proved her suspicion just now, and at this moment, her mother walked out of the kitchen. The mask on her face had been taken off, and her dust-free face was covered with deep wrinkles, and there were
There were traces of water on it, it looked like he had just washed his face.
"Mother!"
She could no longer control her heartbeat, and the word "mother" slipped out of her mouth as her body trembled. The sound insulation effect of the small house was not good, and Zhang Fengxia in the room could hear it clearly.
She ran out immediately, and Lin Weiyang's vision blurred. When she lowered her head, something spilled out of her eyes and wet her clothes.
"Yanyan, is it really you?" Zhang Fengxia asked cautiously with a face full of horror and disbelief.
Lin Weiyang raised her head, tears wet most of her face, "Mom, it's me, I'm An Yan..." Before she could finish her words, she fell into a hug, and Zhang Fengxia held her in his arms.
Here, mother and daughter both cried, "Yanyan, where have you been all these years?"
"...."
Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhang Fengxia simply stopped asking, "Just come back, just come back. Let's not talk about the past."
Lin Weiyang nodded and stood up straight, reaching out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. After looking around the room, she felt the sadness in her heart became even stronger, "Mom, have you been living like this all these years?"
"Well, after you left, your father would either come back to beat me when he was drunk or bring some random women. Later, he lost gambling outside, and the debt collectors chased him to the house and cut off the key, which allowed me to escape.
opportunity, later, I heard that he killed you, and I also died... But I didn't expect... Yanyan... Mom will be sorry for you in this life." The more Zhang Fengxia said, the more tears she shed.
sad.
"Mom, let's go, I'll take you to my place to live."
"What about my current job? It costs 600 yuan a month."
Lin Weiyang's nose felt sore, and she forced back the tears in her eyes, "Just quit, I can support you."
