I took her to look at several places I had found for her in the past few days, and finally chose a piece of uncultivated land in the back hill of Erping Village.
She said it doesn’t need a big place, as long as it can be in a vineyard.
After deciding where to build the winery, it was already past five in the afternoon, and the sun was already slanting toward the rolling hills to the west.
Although it is late autumn, the weather here is not too cold, and everything is golden at first glance, and there are many unknown wild flowers blooming in the fields.
An Lan and I were walking on the path in the grape fields one after another. We passed by a bush of wild flowers and suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" I thought she was feeling unwell, so I asked her quickly.
She knelt down, reached out and folded a wild chrysanthemum, then picked up the yellow chrysanthemum and asked me, "Does it look good?"
"It looks good, but don't pick the wild flowers on the roadside. Don't you know?"
"If you don't pick it, you won't pick it. If you pick it, you still want to pick it." She actually sang and reached out to pick another one.
In vain, he stood up, put the flowers in my hair, looked at me and covered his mouth and giggled.
Her smile is extremely innocent, more beautiful than these wild chrysanthemums on the roadside.
But I was a little embarrassed, raised my hand to pick the flower off my head, looked at her and sneered: "Why are you wearing such a flower on my head!"
"What's wrong?"
"Is this a chrysanthemum?"
She asked blankly: "What's wrong with the chrysanthemum?"
I smiled helplessly and said, "Chrysanthemums are usually used to pay homage to deceased relatives. What do you mean by putting them on my head?"
"Ah!?" She looked at me in surprise and apologized hastily, "I'm sorry! I didn't know about this."
"It's okay. Those who don't know are not guilty."
Amid my laughter, she bent down and picked an unknown small white flower, and asked me: "Isn't this a chrysanthemum?"
"Not this one."
As soon as I finished speaking, she put the little white flower in my hair again and said playfully: "Isn't this okay?"
"Yes, yes, but why don't you put one for yourself? No man wears a flower!"
"Yes, why not?" She looked at me with a smile and said, "Don't all the heroes in Liangshan like to wear flowers?"
Seeing her rare playful look, I was really in a trance.
I touched my nose and smiled: "Don't fool me, I have watched Water Margin, how can anyone wear flowers?"
An Lan snorted softly and said: "You just say this to prove that you haven't seen me tell you that many heroes in Liangshan love flowers, such as the prodigal Yan Qing, who has four seasons flowers on his temples! And Huizong of Song Dynasty every time
When returning from a trip to the palace, the emperor wears a small hat, hairpins and rides on a horse, and the ceremonial guards also give them hairpins to wear."
I was a little confused. When she said this, it seemed like she had actually seen Water Margin. I really couldn't lie to her!
So I smiled again and said: "I was watching a TV series. There is no flower arrangement in the TV series. You may be watching the original work."
She hummed twice more, then walked in front of me with her hands behind her back, looking very leisurely and elegant.
I followed her two meters behind and watched her walking lightly in front of me. The ponytail behind her head swayed left and right as she walked, very youthful.
Under the sunset, everything looks so pleasant.
However, at that moment, a scream suddenly broke this beautiful scene.
The scream was made by An Lan. When I reacted, I saw that she seemed to have missed a step, and her whole body was about to fall down.
I instinctively stepped forward and reached out to hug her.
An Lan's screams stopped, but I felt that the palm of one of my hands was filled with something warm and soft.
My heart skipped a beat and I hurriedly let go of my hand
"ah!"
An Lan screamed again and fell straight down to the ground below.
I stretched out my hand again and hurriedly hugged her. I hugged her whole body with all my strength, carried her to the middle of the road, put her down, and then let go of my hand.
An Lan turned to look at me, and then walked quickly forward without saying a word.
I was also embarrassed. The fullness and warmth still remained in my palms, and my heartbeat was also very fast.
After being stunned for a moment, I raised my legs and followed her, but kept a short distance away from her.
But this road is indeed difficult to walk. After all, it is a field in the field. The road is narrow and there are many weeds.
People who are not used to walking on such ridges will easily stumble if they walk too fast.
I followed her, watching her swaying, and warned her: "Be careful, the field ridges here are not easy to walk on. You are used to walking on the roads in the city, but you are not used to walking on this kind of road."
of."
She suddenly stopped, looked back at me and said, "Who said I can't walk? I fell down on purpose just now. I wanted to see if you were fast enough."
I was stunned for a moment, but even though I knew she didn't want to admit it, I still laughed.
She and I sat down on a gentle slope. The gentle slope was covered with grass, like a thick mattress, and there were many unknown little flowers blooming.
She and I were sitting there, with her hands on her knees, looking at the vineyards in the distance.
I sat next to her, looking at the grape grove in the distance like her. I didn't want to say anything, it was just nice to sit here quietly.
Suddenly, she turned to me and said, "I'll show you a video."
"what?"
"You will know after seeing it."
With that said, she hurriedly took out her phone, clicked on a video, and played it.
This is a video she took of her daughter. In the picture, the little cutie seemed to be learning to walk and ran towards An Lan with faltering steps.
So An Lan's voice appeared in the video: "The baby is awesome!"
After the entire video was played, An Lan played it again.
She said to me: "Little Man can walk now, time flies so fast!"
"Her name is Xiaoman?" I asked.
An Lan nodded and said, "Yes! This is still the name you chose."
I lowered my head and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I forgot about it."
"It's okay, I'll remember it later."
I was silent for a while and asked, "What if I never remember it?"
"That's okay, don't you think we'll get to know each other again now?"
After she finished speaking, she smiled at me, and the orange-red sunset happened to be printed on her beautiful face, which made my heart skip a beat.
When she was stunned, she asked me again: "When will you go back to meet Xiaoman, otherwise she won't even know you are your father."
I was stunned, but then asked her with a hint of doubt: "You didn't lie to me, did you? She is really my daughter?"
An Lan glanced at me and said seriously: "Do you want a paternity test?"
She said so, and it would be a little unreasonable for me to doubt her.
I shook my head hurriedly and said, "Of course that's not what you meant. Why are you going back?"
"Tomorrow, do you want to go back with me?"
I thought for a while, nodded and replied: "Okay, but can it be done tomorrow afternoon?"
"Okay!" She smiled and nodded, as if she was particularly happy.
"By the way," I asked her again, "How is Cheng Lu doing lately? This girl didn't even call me."
"Oh, I was just about to tell you about her. She applied for an aviation training school, but I don't know if she has received the admission notice?"
