The car drove for several hours and arrived at Chengde, Lengxi's hometown.
This place is still surrounded by mountains and rivers, with green trees and birds chirping, but things have changed and people have changed. When we come back here again, it is a completely different scenery.
Linghan arranged for the family to stay in a hotel. After packing their things, it was still early, so Linghan hugged Lengxi and took his two children to the cemetery.
The weeds in front of Grandma Leng's grave could already cover the two children's heads. When Ling Han saw it, he frowned, let go of Leng Xi for the time being, and went forward to pull the weeds.
Leng Xi stood in the wind and looked at his usually majestic and tall figure, now hidden in a patch of grass, weeding with his own hard work like an ordinary man. Her heart swayed, and it actually involved him.
There were wisps of pain.
After a while, the tomb was clean and tidy again. Ling Han patted the dust on his hands and placed the flowers and several plates of vegetables he had brought in front of Leng ***'s tomb. Then he went to hug Leng Xi over and gently coaxed her to her knees.
Next, he also knelt down in front of the cold *** photo.
"Old man, I brought your granddaughter back, and her two children..." Ling Han's mellow voice said calmly. He looked at Leng Ling and the others, and motioned them to kneel down with his eyes. Leng Ling and Xue
Nono'er blinked his eyes in confusion, looked at Linghan, and then at the photo of an old man on the tombstone. Then Noonu bent his calves, and the two of them knelt in front of the tomb holding hands.
Leng Xi knelt, her body very straight. She looked motionlessly at the tombstone and the photo of her mother. As she looked at it, her eyes filled with tears unconsciously.
Ling Han glanced at Leng Xi and continued to say to the tombstone, "Thank you for raising the child's mother. Thank you for giving me an innocent woman. Don't worry, no matter what she becomes in the future, I will take good care of her."
, you can rest assured knowing that I am here. I brought her back today just to experience the place where she grew up, and by the way, I brought her to see you..." Ling Han said his purpose of coming, and after finishing speaking, he kowtowed politely.
He learned about Leng Xi's life experience from He Quan's mouth. This poor woman had suffered a lot since she was born. If it hadn't been for her grandma, she might not have had the chance to grow up. Thinking of this, Ling Han felt chilled.
Leng Xi also followed suit and kowtowed three times in succession. The two children blinked and looked at each other. Although they didn't know what they were doing, they still imitated their parents and bowed twice.
"Daddy, why are we here? Who is the grandma in that photo? She is so old..." On the way back, Xueer said in a childish voice, using her hundred thousand whys.
Ling Han suddenly glanced, looked at Xue'er seriously, and said educationally, "Don't be disrespectful to grandma, she is your grandma, you must respect her, do you hear me?"
Receiving her father's serious look, Xue'er was startled, blinked timidly, and nodded obediently, "Xue'er remembers it."
"I know, this is mommy's grandma, so she is our grandma. It turns out mommy also has relatives." Leng Ling followed behind and said like a tail.
As soon as she said these words, Linghan felt sad. It was not that Leng Xi had no relatives, but that her relatives were more cruel to her than outsiders.
Thinking of this, Ling Han hugged Leng Xi's shoulders lovingly and quickened his pace back to the hotel.
"Tonight is Christmas Eve, what gifts do you want?" Ling Han asked the two children in the hotel room while taking off his coat.
"Christmas Eve? Isn't that the Chinese New Year? Are there any firecrackers or fireworks, daddy?" Xueer's eyes lit up when she heard the word, and with a cute voice, she grabbed her daddy's pants leg and asked questions.
She grew up in the United States, and it was very lively every Christmas Eve, with people making noise in the streets and alleys. She was deeply impressed.
Leng Ling curled her lips and said, "Christmas Eve is not the Chinese New Year. My mommy said that Chinese New Year's Eve is the Chinese New Year. My birthday is on New Year's Eve. Every year on my birthday, my mommy will buy me a lot of delicious food.
He will also sing happy birthday to me..." Leng Ling said very proudly, he was showing his love to Cher, and his mother loved him very much.
"Huh, do you think you are the only one who knows? I know it too, but Christmas Eve is the Chinese New Year, and daddy also helps me spend it. My birthday is after the Chinese New Year, and daddy will help me buy a cake..." At this point, Xue
The son pouted, a little regretful, "But daddy can't sing..."
Leng Xi didn't say anything. She kept smiling and watching what they said.
Linghan was attracted by these two treasures. He put down his coat, shook his head and walked up to them and said, "You are both right. Christmas Eve is the American New Year, and New Year's Eve is the Chinese New Year. The cultures of two different regions, today
It's Christmas Eve, and it's not my birthday yet, so let's ask for today's gift first, and Daddy will give it to me on my birthday." He held Xue'er in his arms and said to Leng Ling.
So, Leng Ling nodded her chin and thought for a moment, "I heard there are apples to eat on Christmas Eve. Can Daddy give me a super big apple?" After thinking for a moment, Leng Ling said happily.
"Tie, what's so delicious about apples? I want a baby, a baby that I can't even hold." Xue'er despised Leng Ling's gift and threw herself into Ling Han's arms, making coquettish sounds.
Being despised, Leng Ling curled her lips at Xueer angrily and made a pig-nosed expression at her.
Ling Han wanted to laugh, but he held it back and promised, "Okay, daddy has written down your gifts, and there will be a surprise tonight."
"Oye, that's great, daddy is the best..." Leng Ling jumped up, ran to Ling Han, held his face and kissed him wildly for a while, then returned to Leng Xi and kissed him
He kissed her on the lips, then took her head off, grinned and said, "Ling'er's favorite is mommy..."
This kid is so shrewd that he even managed to fawn over mommy after bluffing daddy...
A few black lines fell from Linghan's forehead, and she was a little jealous. His son took the lead before he even kissed her. No, his son was also a love rival, so he had to be careful...
"Xue'er, be good and play by yourself." Ling Han put down Xue'er, comforted her and then sat next to Leng Xi, hugged her shoulders, and asked softly, "The children have chosen gifts, what do you want?"
His breath was close at hand, blowing gently on her face, with a faint scent of sandalwood. Leng Xi hid his face in panic, his face felt hot, he blinked, curled his lips, and said nothing.
Ling Han looked at her and smiled lightly. He already understood and didn't ask any more questions.
At night, the lights are on and the neon lights are bright.
Ling Han took his two children and Leng Xi to the market. The street was bustling with people, but it was Leng Xi's neighborhood that he had visited with Ji Xinmo a few years ago.
Leng Xi looked at this familiar scene, but her eyes were unfamiliar and lingering, as if everything was clear, but also as if everything was so blurry that no edges could be seen. Gradually, her lips began to turn black, and she shivered with cold.
"What's wrong?" Ling Han noticed something strange, hugged her tightly, wrapped her in his coat, and comforted her, "I'm here, it's okay..."
Linghan deliberately calculated the time and came to Chengde on Christmas Eve. Firstly, he wanted to travel, and secondly, he wanted to make up for Lengxi's regrets a few years ago.
At that time, when Ji Xinmo told him that on Christmas Eve, Leng Xi cried and searched for him on the street and missed him like snow, she didn't know how painful his heart was and how much he missed him.
I flew over to accompany her, but the current situation did not allow it.
Now that he has the chance, he will make up for the company that she wanted to do but didn't do in the past, and make up for her a complete Christmas Eve.
Furthermore, he still had some selfish intentions and wanted to use this regretful and familiar scene to bring back some of her memories, but he was also prepared. Even if he couldn't bring back the past memories, it wouldn't be a bad idea to live like this for the rest of his life.
As long as she still loves him...
"Bang..." Suddenly, a gorgeous firework exploded in the dark sky, bright and dazzling.
"Wow, the fireworks, mommy and daddy, look, they are so beautiful!" Leng Ling and Xue'er jumped up excitedly at the same time, Leng Ling pointed at the fireworks and called to his daddy and mommy.
Leng Xi heard the sound and raised his head. At this time, a series of fireworks rushed into the sky, blooming with the most dazzling brilliance in the dark night, exuding a romantic atmosphere, and it was intoxicating to watch.
Leng Xi looked at the sky and smiled. Suddenly, two baskets fell from the sky. At first they were speeding, and then they opened a parachute like a ceiling, supporting the baskets and slowly falling down.
Xue'er and Leng Ling stared at the strange scene with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open in surprise. When the basket fell on the ground, the two children ran over excitedly at the same time.
"Wow, these are my apples!" Ling Ling exclaimed, a basket of beautifully packaged big apples. Didn't Ling Ling want a super apple? Then Ling Han gave him a basket, which was enough for him to eat.
"My doll, it's my doll..." Xue'er also screamed with excitement. The larger basket contained a bunch of dolls that Xue'er could hold. Didn't Xue'er say she wanted a huge doll?
Then Linghan gave him a bunch of them. She could hold one, but her small body couldn't hold a bunch of them.
When the two children received the gifts, they were jumping up and down with joy. The brilliant fireworks reflected on their faces, exuding innocence and the happiest childhood.
With eyes like ancient springs in cold streams, she smiled brightly when she saw the happiness of her two children. The colors of fireworks flashed through her eyes, crystal clear. It just confirmed that sentence, the bright and colorful lights fell by mistake in the hustle and bustle of the night.
A spirit in the world.
Ling Han looked at the bright smile on Leng Xi's face with deep eyes, and his heart felt warm.
Suddenly a few white flowers floated in the sky.
"Wow, Xueye..." Leng Ling took a snowflake and melted it in his hand, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Ling Han also looked up and was pleasantly surprised. God was so kind. Although he could set off fireworks and give gifts to his children and Xi'er, he could not control when the snow would fall.
During this joyful time, it actually started to snow...
Ling Han took a few breaths excitedly and turned around to see Leng Xi looking up at the snowflakes in the sky with a sincere expression.
Ling Han's throat tightened, he held Leng Xi's tender face, kissed her lips without any explanation, increased the force, and deepened the kiss...
