Xia Yu flew to heaven in her dream last night and saw Wen Xuehui under the sycamore tree.
After waking up from the dream, her tears were wet. Xia Yu had long been accustomed to the labor pain when waking up from the dream. She gently wiped away her tears and opened the window. The spring breeze with the smell of grass rushed into the room impatiently, and a new day began again.
here we go.
After Cheng Hao got up, he sorted out the materials for today's negotiation and went to the next room to ask Xia Yu to have breakfast.
After breakfast, Xia Yu and Cheng Hao left the Wanyuan Hotel on the outskirts of the city and rushed to the negotiation location in the city center.
Xia Yu, thirty-four years old, is engaged in crops and crop processing, production, sales, management, negotiation and contract signing. This is her job. Every time she goes out to discuss business, Xia Yu always brings her brother, who is also her assistant.
——Cheng Hao, they are always used to living in the suburbs away from the hustle and bustle. This time, she took Cheng Hao with her as usual and lived in the suburbs as usual. Everything was so ordinary and natural, but what kind of day would fate arrange for her?
?
In the Wutong Garden of Baihua Building, Xia Yu and Cheng Hao are waiting for Lin Jiahui. Lin Jiahui is the only son of Lin Zhicheng, the president of Chenghui Company. Chenghui Company is a large trading company, and Xia Yu has always wanted to sign a long-term contract with it and establish a long-term supply and marketing relationship with it.
However, Chenghui Company has never valued Yuyuan's business.
Cheng Hao stood in front of the window, watching every car approaching Baihua Building, waiting impatiently for Lin Jiahui's arrival.
"What did Mr. Lin do? He promised to arrive at nine o'clock. It's been ten minutes now. Why hasn't he arrived yet? Why did Mr. Lin book a room outside? Why didn't he just go to their company to negotiate? It turns out that Chenghui was so mean to us.
If you are not interested, why did you suddenly change?" Cheng Hao asked a series of questions that were difficult to answer, and it seemed that he did not need to answer them.
"Hao'er, wait a minute. No matter what, this is always an opportunity. If we can really sign a contract with Chenghui, we can focus more on production in the future, so that we don't have to spend so much energy dealing with those retailers."
Xia Yu was unsure, but still wanted to give it a try. Xia Yu got bored with waiting, so she began to admire the layout of the room. This room, known as Wutong Garden, indeed had a bunch of flowers placed in the corners, windowsills, and coffee tables.
A bunch of blooming sycamore flowers, on the wall, a bend of clear water, a piece of grass, a few tall sycamore trees, the sycamore flowers were in bloom, a velvety lavender color, Xia Yu saw Wen Xuehui again in a trance, under the sycamore trees,
Wen Xuehui smiled so brightly...
"Sister, maybe Mr. Lin is here." Hao'er heard the knock on the door and said "Please come in" while walking towards the door to greet Mr. Lin, whom he had never met before. Xia Yu also took back her words before leaving.
Distant thoughts.
The door opened, the whole room lit up, the whole world lit up. Did last night's dream really come true? Did Xia Yu really fly to heaven? Or did Wen Xuehui fall from the sky? Xia Yu finally saw that familiar and beautiful face.
With a lovely smile, I saw the beauty of the sycamore flowers blooming.
"Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia, and Mr. Lin are here." Cheng Hao changed the name of the mall to remind Xia Yu, who was obviously distracted.
Xia Yu woke up from her dream and shook hands with Mr. Lin, who looked exactly like Wen Xuehui, and another Mr. Yang. After exchanging pleasantries, the two parties began to talk about signing a contract.
The spring sunshine shines gently on this beautiful city, this splendid building, and the happy and distressed security guards and waiters in front of the building. Their happiness is that they have a relatively stable job or have a family.
A relatively happy family, their trouble is why they cannot be as rich and prominent as those who go in and out of the building. They look at the men and women who go in and out of the building with envy and jealousy.
At half past ten, four guests from Wutong Garden walked out of Baihua Building. Except for Cheng Hao who looked a little irritated, the other three looked very happy. The business seemed to be going well. The waiters in the building used envy as usual.
And sent them away with jealous eyes.
Back at Wanyuan Hotel, Cheng Hao's annoyance finally turned from his expression into words. "Sister, I don't understand why you agreed to sign a contract with him. That guy doesn't understand anything. He is simply a liar. He thinks we country people are good."
To lie, just set up a trap and let us come all the way. I guess he has nothing to do with Chenghui Company. He pretended to be Mr. Lin's son to deceive us. He wanted to provide us with foreign production equipment and also wanted us.
Pay a deposit, what a mess. He originally sent a fax saying that he was negotiating with us about consignment sales. Our products need to be sold domestically or exported, and what equipment needs to be imported. Sister, what’s wrong with you? That guy is not very good at acting and knows a little business knowledge.
You can tell that he is a liar, but you agreed to further negotiate with him. This is simply inexplicable. Why waste your time on a liar?" Cheng Hao felt that this negotiation was inexplicable. How could his sister, who has always been calm and calm, commit such a low-level crime?
error.
Xia Yu stood in front of the window and didn't listen to Cheng Hao's speech. From the moment she saw Lin Jiahui, she felt that the whole world had lit up. She looked out the window. The spring was coming, the grass was shining brightly, and the sun was shining happily.
There were dancing among the branches and leaves, and a few pigeons were walking leisurely on the grass. Two girls walked from the stone path, talking happily. When they approached the grass, the pigeons were so surprised that they flew away, far away.
There was a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers wearing roller skates, flying through the paths of the roadside garden. Xia Yu suddenly felt the urge to fly out.
"Hao'er, let's go out for lunch at noon, go to the city center, find a busy restaurant, and go shopping after dinner, okay?"
Xia Yu's excitement made Cheng Hao puzzled. "Sister, what's wrong with you? You're going to the city center again. You never like the excitement. Did you hear what I just said? That contract..."
"Can you put down that contract first? I want to go out to play now, don't you want to accompany me?" Xia Yu said, picking up her backpack and getting ready to leave.
Cheng Hao thought that his sister was not a simple-minded person. She must have her own reasons for doing things. Moreover, the contract had not been signed yet, so it would be nice to go out and play. Playing with her sister was Haoer's happiest thing.
Throughout the afternoon, Hao'er accompanied Xia Yu to eat, go shopping, drink cold drinks, buy clothes, and buy toys. Hao'er had never seen his sister so happy. In Hao'er's eyes, Xia Yu was a stable, mature and even vicissitudes of woman, who was twelve years older than him.
Although Xia Yu suddenly turned into a lively and lovely little girl this afternoon, Haoer also experienced a kind of relaxation and happiness that transcended the relationship between brother and sister. At the same time, he was confused as to why his sister had such a great influence.
What about the changes?
They returned to the hotel very late. Xia Yu happily sorted out a lot of things she had bought. Haoer habitually thought of the contract, but he knew that his sister didn't want to talk about this issue. He thought he should figure out something first.
Things made my sister so happy and excited.
"Sister, you never like the excitement, why are you doing it today?"
Xia Yu held a toy dog with yellow hair and a black nose that she had just bought, and sat on the edge of the bed. She originally looked at Hao'er, but after listening to Hao'er's words, she turned her head, looked at the neon lights outside the window, and said quietly
: "It's not that I don't like bustling, I'm afraid of bustling. I feel lonely in a bustling crowd. I'm afraid of being lonely. Do you understand?"
"Because of Wen Xuehui, right?"
"Hao'er, how much do you know about Wen Xuehui? Has Aunt Lan ever told you about him?"
"Everyone knows that you two have an unforgettable relationship, but not much is known about your story. You and Aunt Lan are unwilling to tell it because you are afraid of being heartbroken if you mention it, right?"
"Hao'er, I want you to meet Xuehui," Xia Yu turned around, took out a small wallet from her handbag, and handed it to Hao'er. Hao'er saw the sparkling tears in her sister's eyes. Opening the wallet, Hao'er
I saw a face that I had just seen.
"Sister, he, he is..." The person in the photo really looks like Lin Jiahui.
"He is Wen Xuehui."
Hao'er finally understood why her sister agreed to sign a contract with the liar and why there had been such a big change. "But sister, the Lin Jiahui today is not Wen Xuehui, he is a liar. Wen Xuehui is no longer here. He is..."
"Stop talking," Xia Yu had a painful expression on her face, her lips trembled a little, and her voice became sad: "Haoer, you don't understand, you don't understand the pain of losing your loved one," Xia Yu
She paused for a few seconds, let out a long sigh, as if suppressing her painful feelings, and then continued: "I dream about Xuehui almost every night. When I wake up, I find that it is a dream, and Xuehui
Hui is gone. I will never see or hear him. You don’t understand the feeling of heartache. My heart is really torn to pieces. It hurts. I remember two months after Xuehui left, one day
, on the street, I saw a man whose back looked very similar to Xuehui, so I stupidly followed him for two blocks. I really wanted to go up and call him, but when I turned around, it was Xuehui. How great would that be?
, but I didn’t dare, I was afraid of seeing an unfamiliar face. Later, when that person got on the bus, I regretted why I didn’t go up and call him. Maybe he was really Xuehui. Am I stupid? From that day on
Since then, I have been looking forward to Xuehui's appearance. I know it is impossible, but I really have this expectation in my heart." Xia Yu paused again. Hao'er had entered a sad state at this time, and he
Sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at the floor. Xia Yu gently stroked the yellow-haired dog in her hand, and her face gradually became clearer, "Xuehui is a dog, and his hair is a little yellow. I often call him yellow-haired dog.
"Xia Yu's words seemed to be talking to herself. She looked at the yellow-haired dog, and there was even a hint of joy in her eyes: "Hao'er, you don't know, the moment I saw Lin Jiahui today, I thought Xuehui finally appeared, and God finally made it happen.
He returned it to me, and I will never let him disappear again, never."
Hao'er suddenly felt that the matter was very complicated. He didn't know whether to be happy that his sister had found "Xue Hui" or to be worried that his sister had met a liar. He couldn't figure out the matter for a while, so it was better to go to bed, "Sister
, it’s already very late, I’m going to bed, you can rest too.”
Hao'er went back to his room to sleep, and Xia Yu also took a rest, but both of them had no sleep all night.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Lin Jiahui drove to the Wanyuan Hotel. Xia Yu and Cheng Hao were already waiting outside the hotel. According to the schedule agreed yesterday, they were going to Chenghui Company to take a look today. The two parties could learn more about it.
Signing the contract in one step... But Xia Yu said she didn't want to go to the company: "Mr. Lin, we don't come to S city often, why don't you take us around, I don't know if it will waste your time."
"Okay, okay, I have plenty of time." Lin Jiahui wished for it. Xia Yu and Cheng Hao got in the car, and Lin Jiahui began to accompany them to roam Shanghai.
Xia Yu stayed up all night last night. She was very happy to meet Lin Jiahui, but she was also sad that he was a liar. She didn't know what to do. She didn't want to see Lin Jiahui's poor acting skills anymore, but she didn't want to expose him, and was even afraid of exposing him.
, so she no longer wants to follow the agreed schedule. She wants to relax first. As long as she can see "Wen Xuehui", she will be happy.
When Lin Jiahui heard that he would not go to the company at first, he felt relaxed and happy, so as not to expose his flaws if he continued to act. After a while, he felt something was wrong. He would not be so easily fooled this summer. How could there be a businessman who would not talk about business?
As someone who only travels around, it’s possible that people have already seen through him, coaxed him to play with them for two days, and then left. With this idea in mind, Lin Jiahui was on guard in every aspect. In addition to providing transportation and horseback, he did not do anything else.
Xia Yu refused to pay the bill for eating or playing. Xia Yu didn't want Lin Jiahui to make a fool of herself, so she rushed to pay the bill. Cheng Hao looked on and couldn't be happy, annoyed, annoyed, annoyed, annoyed, annoyed all the time.
Although Lin Jiahui knew nothing about business, he was proficient in everything when it came to eating, drinking and having fun. One day at noon, Lin Jiahui suggested eating Western food. Xia Yu and Haoer didn't know much about Western food. They liked Chinese food, especially Yuyuan Restaurant with a local flavor.
As a farmer, he is not used to Western food, let alone doing any research. However, Lin Jiahui treats Western food as well as Chinese food. He talks about it in a clear and logical manner and eats it with gusto, especially the way he eats is like a gentleman. Haoer has never seen a standard of food.
Such a high level liar.
In a large shopping mall, Lin Jiahui skillfully introduced various brand-name clothes to Xia Yu. With his skill, he would definitely take away the jobs of those waiters. He chose clothes for Xia Yu with great discernment, and then helped Xia Yu carry a bunch of clothes.
A waiter blurted out: "Sir, your girlfriend looks so beautiful in this dress." The two of them were a little embarrassed, but no one explained it. Haoer suddenly felt a trace of jealousy.
, so he took two quick steps to catch up, and said politely: "Mr. Lin, I'll get it." He snatched the bag over with almost force, and then followed Xia Yu step by step.
When taking the cable car, Lin Jiahui and Xia Yu sat in the same one, and Hao'er took one by himself. Hao'er didn't have any fun sitting in the car, but Xia Yu felt that life was so beautiful. Look at the green mountains and green waters below, and look at the scenery.
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds above, a group of white pigeons flew happily across the sky. Xia Yu hasn't read about the beauty of this world for a long time. It's not that she doesn't want to read, but she doesn't dare. She is afraid of the loneliness that no one will feel when she reads about the beauty. Now God
After returning Wen Xuehui to her, she finally dared to face the beauty of this world.
Xia Yu, Lin Jiahui and Haoer ate together, went shopping, visited shopping malls, and visited scenic spots. In this way, the three of them spent three days with some happy, some irritable, and some relaxed and doubtful. During lunch on the third day, Haoer picked up
When they got to Yuyuan's phone, Cao Weilin made a ticket order with Fidelity's boss Liu and asked how the situation was going here. Haoer knew that it was useless to tell Xia Yu now, the most important thing was to expose Lin Jiahui.
In the evening, Lin Jiahui drove Xia Yu and Cheng Hao back to Wanyuan Hotel. After Lin Jiahui left, Cheng Hao immediately called a taxi. Xia Yu hesitated and got in the car. In the car, they stared at Lin Jiahui closely.
No one spoke in the BMW, Xia Yu was afraid of seeing the truth, and Cheng Hao wanted to expose the truth.
The BMW approached Baihua Building. Mr. Yang, who had gone to negotiate with Lin Jiahui, seemed to have been waiting there for a long time. Haoer asked the driver to approach Lin Jiahui. He must let Xia Yu hear what Lin Jiahui said and reveal his
His true face. Lin Jiahui never expected that Xia Yu would follow him, so Xia Yu heard a conversation that she really didn't want to hear.
"Boss Yang, lend me your car for two more days, three days at most. After three days, Mr. Xia will sign the contract. The rent of this car and the money I owe you will be paid back at once."
"Sign the contract and pay? Who knows whether people will buy your account? I have never seen you successfully negotiate any 'business'. To be honest, your deception is not very clever."
"It's not about cheating or not. Don't say it so harshly. I'm just a gangster, making a living. I never thought about cheating anyone. If they pay, it doesn't count as cheating if I give them the machine. Besides, I met them twice before.
I turned around and left. My broken machine couldn't be used. It was really hard to tell this time. I also thought that she wouldn't pay, so in the past few days, apart from providing the car, I never paid for other purchases. Even though everyone
In the end, if we break up, I will earn a few meals for nothing."
"What about the money you owe me?"
"Oh, even if she doesn't pay, my father's money is coming soon, and I will definitely pay you back then. Besides, I'm just having bad luck recently. I will definitely be able to make it back in a few days. My business negotiation level is not high.
But my gambling skills are very good, you have to believe me."
"Well, I'll lend you the car for another three days. It's about the money. I'll grant you another seven days. I just want to see your father's face."
"Okay, thank you, Boss Yang, and bye." Lin Jiahui whistled, got into the car, and ran away.
"Sister, did you hear that, he is just a gambler." Hao'er was as relaxed as a detective who solved the case, but he didn't know that Xia Yu, who was sitting behind him, was already in tears. Xia Yu had long known that Lin Jiahui was a liar, but she had always
When she was escaping and truly facing the reality, her heart was very painful. She didn't want to give up Lin Jiahui, but she also felt that knowing Lin Jiahui was an insult to Wen Xuehui. She was very confused, sitting back and crying silently, Haoer didn't even think about it.
Didn't notice.
On the way back to the hotel, Hao'er looked out the window. This was the first time in a few days that he was in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the city. The high-rise buildings, flashing neon lights, and colorful lights were all full of modern flavor. Hao'er thought about this.
It is indeed a good place. No wonder so many people want to squeeze into big cities, but he also thinks that if he was asked to choose a place to settle, he would still choose Yuyuan. He is used to the tranquility and tranquility of Yuyuan, and he is also used to it.
The unique joy and excitement of Yuyuan. The dance party after the harvest in Yuyuan, the loud firecrackers during the Spring Festival in Yuyuan, and the babbling singing on the stage of Yuyuan. That is the real excitement, while the excitement in the city can only be regarded as
A kind of hustle and bustle. He was admiring the night view of the city, but thinking about Yuyuan, and he felt homesick. So when he returned to the hotel, Haoer mentioned the matter of going home.
"Sister, when do we leave tomorrow?"
"I haven't said I'm leaving yet." Xia Yu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the floor blankly.
"Now that things are clear, that guy is a liar, what are we still doing here? Cao Weilin called and said he had taken a new order, and we still have a lot to do when we go back."
"Yes, he is a liar. I have known it from the beginning, but I said I will not let him disappear. I will definitely not let him disappear." Xia Yu spoke in a tired but firm voice.
Hao'er really couldn't do anything to his sister. The relaxation and happiness just now were gone. Fatigue quickly swept through his body, and his body fell on the sofa exhausted. "Then what do you want to do?"
"I want to take him back to Yuyuan."
"What did you say?" Haoer jumped up from the sofa, "You said you would take that liar back to Yuyuan and let him live in Wutong Manor. This is too much. This is simply inexplicable."
"Hao'er, go to sleep, I want to be alone." Xia Yu was no longer able to defend herself.
Hao'er returned to his room and lay on the bed tiredly. Lin Jiahui's face dangled in front of his eyes. He tried not to think about Lin Jiahui. He thought of Wutong Manor. What were the people in the manor doing? Uncle Xia
, Aunt Xia, Uncle Chang, Aunt Chang, and Aunt Lan may be sitting in the living room watching TV, or they may be sitting in Wenxue Garden chatting about home affairs. No matter where they are, Aunt Lan’s hands must be busy. Aunt Lan said that she will have something to do this year.
She wanted to knit a sweater for everyone in the manor. The knitted one would be warmer and more comfortable than the ones bought. As soon as spring started, Aunt Lan started to "knit" it. She kept knitting with sweater needles and thread in her hand wherever she went. Haoer went out.
At that time, Aunt Lan was knitting the sleeves of Hao'er's sweater. By the way, Aunt Chang had a cold when she went out. I don't know if it was better. Uncle Xia... Hao'er fell asleep thinking about it.
The next day, Xia Yu asked Lin Jiahui to meet in his room. As soon as Lin Jiahui arrived, Xia Yu said straight to the point: "Mr. Lin, I will give you as much money as you need, but you have to come back to Yuyuan with me." Lin Jiahui hadn't even sat down yet.
, Xia Yu was confused all of a sudden. Firstly, Xia Yu exposed him so directly, which made him, a shameless person, feel a little embarrassed. Secondly, Xia Yu asked him to go to Yuyuan, which made him confused. Hao
Hao'er didn't expect Xia Yu to be so direct. This was obviously Xia Yu's decision after thinking about it all night, and Hao'er didn't want to interfere in the matter anymore.
"Mr. Xia, what do you mean? What is Yuyuan?" Lin Jiahui was still trying to hide it.
"Mr. Lin, we don't have to beat around the bush anymore. I'll pay you back how much money you owe. After you pay it back, you have to come back to Yuyuan with me. Yuyuan is my hometown, a small village. I'm responsible for all your daily expenses -
---"
"I sold it to you, are you sick?" Lin Jiahui couldn't figure out Xia Yu's intention and raised his buttocks to run away, but was stopped by Hao'er: "Mr. Lin, please sit down and listen to my sister finish speaking.
"
Just listen, who is afraid of whom? Lin Jiahui sat down again.
"Mr. Lin, you have complete freedom. I will help you pay off your gambling debt in exchange for you coming back to Yuyuan with me. You can leave Yuyuan at any time after that. Mr. Lin, please think about it."
Lin Jiahui quickly weighed the gains and losses. Firstly, Xia Yu helped him pay off his gambling debt. Secondly, there was no loss in going for a walk in the countryside. Thirdly, Xia Yu and the others were not bad people. They would not have any evil intentions towards him. Although
Xia Yu didn't know Lin Jiahui's background, but Lin Jiahui knew that Xia Yu was a serious businessman. He learned from Boss Yang that Xia Yu had taken the initiative to contact Chenghui Company to discuss business, but Chenghui Company was not interested in Yuyuan's business.
He relied on this news to trick Xia Yu into traveling all the way to negotiate with him. Lin Jiahui felt that he could agree to this, but he didn't understand why Xia Yu took him back to Yuyuan.
"Mr. Xia, I don't understand why you want me to go to Yuyuan?"
Xia Yu showed Wen Xuehui's photo to Lin Jiahui.
"Hey, who is this? No one seems to have said that I have twin brothers." Lin Jiahui shouted in surprise, with an exaggerated expression on his face.
"He is my boyfriend, Wen Xuehui, he is no longer here." Xia Yu replied calmly.
"Wen Xuehui? The names are almost the same! Hey, when you said he was gone, you meant death." Lin Jiahui started to talk nonsense.
Xia Yu was irritated by Lin Jiahui's nonchalant tone: "Yes, death, no more is death. Don't you understand Chinese?"
"Oh, I'm angry. Come on, let me shut up." At this time, Lin Jiahui no longer had any guard up. He already knew why Xia Yu wanted to take him away. He also decided to go with her, taking care of food and housing, and freedom.
You are comfortable and can "help others", so why not do it?
"Mr. Lin, you must tell me your true identity."
"Okay, you don't need to call me Mr. Lin anymore. We are all family from now on. Just call me Jiahui, be more friendly." Lin Jiahui smiled playfully.
"Can you be more serious?" Seeing him like this, Xia Yu really didn't know whether her decision was right or wrong.
"Okay, okay, seriously, tell Mr. Xia, I am Lin Jiahui, male, ) years old, unmarried, without father or mother, single."
"You lied. You have a father. Didn't you tell Boss Yang that your father wanted to give you money?"
"Hey, you are following me. It turns out that you good people also do sneaky things. Yes, I have a father, but it doesn't make any difference. My mother passed away when I was twelve years old. My father doesn't like me. It's rare for me to be able to
See him once. The last time I saw him was probably three years ago."
"What does your father do?"
"Hey, are you checking the household registration? But it's okay to tell you. My dad runs a small business and lives a happy life with his current wife and girl. It's a pity that I have no family, no job, and am alone."
It was really difficult for Xia Yu to judge whether what he said was true or false, but after a few days of contact, including the conversation between Lin Jiahui and Boss Yang, Xia Yu felt that Lin Jiahui was just a gangster, not a heinous person. If she let go, she might
Never seeing him again, she really couldn't let go of that familiar face.
"Lin Jiahui, you have decided to go back to Yuyuan with us." Xia Yu asked.
"Because I look like your boyfriend, you treat me as a substitute."
Xia Yu was speechless. She had always been conflicted in her heart. After Xuehui left, it was impossible for Xia Yu to accept others. For ten years, Xia Yu guarded Wutong Manor, guarded the beautiful Wenxue Garden, guarded her parents, and Aunt Lan
, Uncle Chang, Aunt Chang, and Hao'er, guarding every plant and tree in the rain garden, lived a peaceful and tender life, but in the dead of night, everything in the past would emerge, like a movie scene for Xia Yu to watch.
Heartbroken, when she saw Lin Jiahui, she didn't think about whether she would like him, she just didn't want him to disappear.
Seeing that Xia Yu didn't speak, Lin Jiahui was annoyed and continued: "Okay, I'll help others. I'll go back to Yuyuan with you. As promised, you are not allowed to interfere with my freedom."
Lin Jiahui agreed to go to Yuyuan because Xia Yu and Haoer had expected it. Although it is difficult to tell whether it is true or not, Lin Jiahui does look like a homeless, idle but harmless gangster. Such a person will return according to Xia Yu's terms.
Yuyuan had nothing to lose to him, so it was completely reasonable to agree to this proposal. So this seemingly difficult matter was solved smoothly, and the next day, the three of them set foot on the road back to Yuyuan.
.
At three o'clock in the morning, the three people walked out of the train station in City A. The driver, Lao Liu, had been waiting for a long time. In the early morning of spring, there was still a bit of chill in the air, a few lonely stars hung in the deep blue sky, and the whole city was still sleeping.
, only the train station will be lively for a while with the arrival of each train, and then return to silence in an instant. The three people were bumpy and tired along the way, and fell asleep in the car after leaving the city.
When I woke up, the sun had just climbed above the horizon and the car had already entered the land of Yuyuan. Lin Jiahui stepped into the land of Yuyuan for the first time.
This is a beautiful morning in the countryside. The air is cool and cool, and there is no longer the chill of the night. In the fields, the green wheat seedlings are like green velvet. Occasionally, there will be a piece of golden velvet, which is the rapeseed that has just entered the flowering period. The road
The grass on the edge is still carrying dewdrops, red, purple, and blue morning glories, and yellow wild jade flowers are swaying in the breeze. Unknown birds are flying around among the trees. The old locust tree beside the village has already
Pull out the new green leaves and shine happily in the morning sun. Everything wakes up from sleep, full of vitality.
Most of the farmhouses are bungalows with spacious yards. In the morning, every household opens the door, and the old people take their dogs out for a walk. The diligent peasant women are busy in the yard preparing breakfast for the whole family. Most of the children are still sleeping.
Play in.
There were two buildings in the distance. Xia Yu told Jiahui that they were Yuyuan's office building and the dormitory building for migrant workers. Old Liu slowed down the car and Xia Yu rolled down the window to greet people walking on the roadside.
Everyone who saw Xia Yu said kindly: "Xiao Yu is back."
The car slowly stopped in front of two green carved iron doors. The three people got out of the car. Xia Yu said, "Master Liu, thank you for your hard work. Put the car back at the company and go home to rest." Then she turned around and told him.
Lin Jiahui: "This is my home. Everyone calls her Wutong Manor."
Uncle Chang opened the door and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu is back. I originally opened the door, but just now all the little oranges ran out, so I closed the door. Now I have captured them all."
"Is everything okay at home?" Xia Yu asked. Hearing the owner's voice, a tall and mighty black dog jumped out of nowhere, startling Lin Jiahui. Xia Yu greeted the dog and said, "
Hello, Buzz." Buzz jumped and barked happily, and threw his front feet to Hao'er's chest wantonly. Hao'er held his front feet affectionately and said: "Buzz, you missed me.
, where are the oranges?" At this time, another yellow dog sprang out. This was the mother of the little oranges, Orange. Orange barked happily. Aunt Xia and Aunt Chang came out of the kitchen, and Uncle Xia also walked out of Wenxueyuan.
, the manor suddenly became lively.
Uncle Xia's hands were stained with mud, and he seemed to be working on the vegetable plot in Wenxue Garden. Xia Yu said, "Dad, I went to take care of your plot of land so early."
"Yes, I just planted the soaked loofah seeds. Now is the time to plant melons and beans." Xia Bo didn't look like a farmer, he looked very civilized and kind.
Aunt Xia was very happy when she saw her daughter coming back. She said distressedly: "You are tired, Xiaoyu. Come in and take a rest. Aunt Chang and I are preparing breakfast. We will eat soon."
Xia Yu didn't see Aunt Lan, so she asked where Aunt Lan was.
Aunt Chang said: "Yesterday afternoon I went to Xiuzhi on East Street to knit a sweater. I wanted to learn a new trick from Xiuzhi. The two of us are the best friends. We stayed there last night. We didn't even have to wait for her for breakfast."
Knowing that Aunt Lan was not here, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know how Aunt Lan would react when she saw Lin Jiahui. She was not fully mentally prepared for the meeting between the two of them.
During breakfast, Xia Yu formally introduced Lin Jiahui to everyone. Her introduction was very simple, saying that Lin Jiahui was her business friend and would live in the manor for a while. Relatives and friends often came to live in the manor, and everyone was used to it.
Feeling that there was something special about Lin Jiahui, only Haoer was worried that the arrival of this person would destroy the tranquility and beauty of Wutong Manor.
After breakfast, Aunt Chang tidied up a guest room for Lin Jiahui. Xia Yu repeatedly told Lin Jiahui that if he met Aunt Lan - Wen Xuehui's mother - he must be kind and polite to the old man, and then the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.
Lin Jiahui's room is simple and clean, with a bed, a wardrobe, a pair of simple sofas, a desk and a chair in front of the window, and a small TV placed on the triangle cabinet in the corner. Lin Jiahui feels like he has stayed in a hotel.
It was his own little world behind closed doors, free and easy. He was a little tired after riding in the car all day and night. He really wanted to lie down and take a nap, but after arriving in such a novel place overnight, Lin Jiahui was a little excited.
He walked out of the room and wanted to see what Wutong Manor was like and what Rain Garden was like.
As soon as Lin Jiahui walked out of the room, Bass jumped over to him, threw his front feet on the ground, his eyes full of hostility, whining, and was ready to attack. Lin Jiahui was actually a master who loved to entertain cats and dogs, but facing this tall
The mighty hunting dog is still a little timid. He doesn't know whether to advance or retreat.
Aunt Chang, who was doing needlework in the corridor, saw that Jiahui was frightened, so she quickly called Bas: "Bas, he is Xiao Yu's friend. Didn't you see him just now? Come back quickly."
Bass gave up his offensive after hearing Aunt Chang's words, glared at the stranger with dissatisfaction, returned to Aunt Chang, and lay down.
Lin Jiahui saw Aunt Chang working and came over to say hello. Bass saw that this stranger actually followed him and stood up again, but was immediately stopped by Aunt Chang. He lay down reluctantly and listened intently to Lin Jiahui and Chang.
Aunt's conversation.
"Aunt Chang, who are you making shoes for?" Lin Jiahui held a small red shoe in his hand and looked at it over and over again. It felt very fresh.
"I made shoes for my little grandson that are comfortable to wear."
"Your grandson? You and Xia Yu? And that Cheng Hao?" Lin Jiahui couldn't figure out the relationship between people in the manor, so Aunt Chang told him.
Uncle Chang and Aunt Chang only had one daughter, who was married to another village. Six years ago, Uncle Chang got seriously ill. Although her daughter was filial, she really had no money to treat Uncle Chang. Xia Yu saw that the two old people were pitiful, so she took the initiative to pay for it.
After treating Uncle Chang's illness, he took them to Wutong Manor to take care of them. Later, Uncle Chang's illness recovered and he was embarrassed to bother them here again, but Xia Yu asked them to stay, saying that this is their home. The two old people
So he stayed, and his daughter and grandson often came to visit. Everyone was happy, and it was all thanks to Xia Yu.
Cheng Hao is an orphan. Before her death, Cheng Hao's grandmother asked him to recognize Xia Yu as his sister. Since then, Cheng Hao has followed Xia Yu to learn business and is now Xia Yu's right-hand assistant.
Lin Jiahui had never chatted with an elderly person so intimately before. He felt that every word Aunt Chang said was so novel, but Bas gradually lost interest in their conversation. By this time, he had closed his eyes to rest. He sat in the corridor with a
Lin Jiahui found it really pleasant to chat with the elderly.
The sun has risen very high, and the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves of the trees on the neat lawns and stone paths. This is really a beautiful manor!
Facing the door is a wide stone road that leads to the main living room. There are tall sycamore trees on both sides of the road. The branches are full of lavender flowers. The faint fragrance of sycamore flowers flows in the air.
The east side of the living room is Xia Yu's parents' room, and the west side is Xia Yu's room. There are six rooms on the east side of the manor, and the two rooms to the north are Aunt Lan's and Hao'er's rooms. Lin Jiahui lives next door to Hao'er.
On the west side of the manor are the kitchen, dining room, garage, and warehouse. All the houses are made of red bricks, without luxurious decoration. Each room has a stone path leading to a wide stone road, with various colors on both sides of the path.
There are flowers and plants, and the rest of the space is neatly maintained lawns. This is a simple and beautiful manor!
Lin Jiahui chatted with Aunt Chang in the corridor for a long time. He said he wanted to go out for a walk. Aunt Chang said, "Let's go to Wenxue Garden. It's quite beautiful there."
Lin Jiahui stood up to leave, but Aunt Chang warned again: "Be careful, the oranges are there."
Lin Jiahui walked along the stone road to Wenxue Garden. He happily admired everything around him. When he was approaching the gate, he saw a large house in the southeast corner. Aunt Chang said it was an activity room. There were
Table tennis table, roller skating rink, children from Yuyuan often come to play. There is a room on the west side where Uncle Chang and Aunt Chang live. There is a moon gate next to it, and you can enter Wenxueyuan.
Lin Jiahui knew that Orange was there, so he prepared himself mentally, then walked gently to the door and poked his head inside. Fortunately, Orange was in a cage taking care of the babies. Lin Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to follow Uncle Xia who was working.
, Aunt Xia, and Uncle Chang say hello.
In the center of the northern half of Wenxue Garden is a square paved with marble, which is the dance ground for the Harvest Festival. In the northwest corner is a gateball court, where the old people of Yuyuan often play ball and have activities. The pavilion next to the court is called Yingying
The sleeve pavilion. In the northeast corner is the residence of Bass Orange, and the sign is "Black Gold Pavilion". In the southern half of the garden, there is a small garden, a vegetable patch, a few apple trees, peach trees, and most of the flowers in the garden have relatively strong vitality.
Strong local flowers, rose, tuberose, henna, although the flowers are not expensive, they can bloom colorfully in summer, which is pleasing to the eye. However, it is not the flowering season yet, but those fruit trees are in flowering period, red and pink.
Yes, the white ones are blooming lively, and the vegetable field is also very lively. Three old people are busy planting melons, beans, and rice seedlings. Lin Jiahui curiously asks about the names of various seedlings. The old people happily tell the young people
With his knowledge of planting, Uncle Xia later asked about Lin Jiahui's family background. Lin Jiahui repeated the tragic life story he told Xia Yu, which really won the sympathy of several elderly people. Aunt Xia then asked Lin Jiahui how he met Xiao Yu and how he came to know him.
I had never heard Xiao Yu mention it before. Lin Jiahui said that they met at a trade fair, and gave a very vague answer. Then he excused himself to go see the little oranges and hurriedly left the vegetable garden.
Lin Jiahui pretended to walk to the Black Gold Pavilion to say hello to Orange. Orange looked much kinder than Bass. He only raised his head and glared at Lin Jiahui, and then went to see its babies.
Lin Jiahui left Wenxue Garden and walked outside the manor. In front of the manor was a clean street, with neatly arranged farmyards on both sides of the street. The jujube and elm trees planted by every household had new leaves, and they stretched out from the courtyard wall.
.Yuyuan is so beautiful, not at all the poverty and shabbyness that Lin Jiahui imagined. He feels very magical. He has arrived in another world overnight. Such a beautiful small village, such kind people, Lin Jiahui has decided to live here.
A while.
"Excuse me, are you looking for our Xia Yu?"
Lin Jiahui heard someone talking behind him, turned around and saw a woman in her fifties holding a half-knitted sweater.
When the woman saw Lin Jiahui, her expression immediately changed, she opened her mouth without saying anything, tears flowed out, and her body was almost unsteady. Lin Jiahui immediately understood that this was Aunt Lan. He hurriedly stepped forward to support Aunt Lan and said:
"You are Aunt Lan, I am Lin Jiahui, let's go home, go home." Faced with this situation, he really didn't know how to deal with it. As soon as he entered the manor, he shouted: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, come out quickly, Aunt Lan
Back." He was surprised that his name for Xia Yu changed so quickly and so naturally.
Everyone in the manor was shouted out. Xiaoyu looked at Aunt Lan with tears streaming down her face and didn't know what to say. The old people didn't even understand what happened.
Sitting in the living room, the old people asked what happened. Aunt Lan just cried and was speechless. Xia Yu was silent for a while before telling everyone that Lin Jiahui looked a lot like Wen Xuehui and that she was going to Beijing this time.
I met him by chance and he was alone, so I brought him back. Xia Yu said to Aunt Lan: "Aunt Lan, I'm sorry. I know you are sad, and I don't know whether I should bring him back."
Aunt Lan said with a choked voice: "Silly boy, of course you have to bring him back. I've been waiting for him for so many years."
Mr. and Mrs. Xia had only met Wen Xuehui once. After so many years, their impressions have been blurred. Thinking about it carefully, this man seemed to resemble Wen Xuehui.
At this time, people in the manor knew that Lin Jiahui was not an ordinary guest. He would be a person closely related to Xiaoyu, Aunt Lan, Wutong Manor, and even Yuyuan. The future days would be changed because of this person.
