The clear ringing of the doorbell filled the air in this early morning, breaking the silence.
Zhan Keke was stunned for a moment, then quickly went out the next moment.
"Is it Miss Zhan? This is the breakfast your mother asked you to deliver." Outside the door, a middle-aged man in his forties carried two large bags of steaming breakfast to Zhan Keke.
Zhan Keke was surprised: "Mommy said it was a gift?"
As she asked, she hurriedly took the breakfast from the man's hand, feeling extremely happy.
"Yes, your mother said she has something to do. You guys have breakfast and go play wherever you want. She will be back later."
Zhan Keke nodded immediately: "Thank you, uncle!"
"You're welcome."
Soon the middle-aged man got on the electric scooter and left. Zhan Keke took the breakfast and looked at the steamed dumplings, soy milk, porridge, fried dough sticks, and steamed dumplings inside. They were all the specialties of Fengquan Town, and tasted like nothing you could taste outside.
She loved it!
"Brother Dean, mommy is fine. Look, there are a lot of breakfasts that we like!"
Lin Lian is from the Liu family, but her life has not been luxurious since she was a child. She has been diligent and frugal, neither extravagant nor wasteful. Even if her life experience is revealed, she still maintains her original character.
Therefore, the children she teaches are not like canaries, high above others, nor are they expensive, covered in gold and silver, extravagant and wasteful.
They are like ordinary children, they know that many things are hard to come by, and they know that to get what they need, they have to work hard on their own and take their time.
She taught several children very well.
The sun came out early after eight o'clock. Summer will begin tomorrow, and the sunshine today is very good.
Under the golden light, Zhan Keke's face sparkled.
Dean looked at this young and white face with a smile on his face: "Well, let's eat first."
"good!"
"Let's go play after eating, and my brother will let him sleep well."
"It just so happens that you are leaving tonight, I will take you to buy whatever you want!"
I don’t feel too bad about being separated from Zhan Keke, because we will see each other again, and transportation and communication are very developed, so it is not difficult to meet someone.
Therefore, although she felt reluctant to give up, she did not feel uncomfortable.
After Zhan Keke finished speaking, she pulled him in for breakfast. Dean looked at her raised eyebrows, her happiness and brilliance, and he held her hand with his backhand.
Hold tight.
The two had breakfast. Zhan Keke put Zhan Suiling's portion in the rice cooker to warm, and left a note telling Zhan Suiling that she and Dean had gone out and where the breakfast was before leaving with Dean.
.
Soon, the villa returned to true silence, and there was no trace of fresh breath anymore.
At this time, there is a bedroom upstairs.
The door was closed and it was silent inside.
Zhan Suiling did not continue to sleep. It should be said that he did not sleep all night.
He sat on the sofa and looked at a family photo on the bedside table and kept looking at it.
In the family photo, Lin Lian and Zhan Lianshi stood at the back, Zhan Keke and Dean stood in front of them, and Zhan Suiling stood at the front.
Lin Lian had a smile on his face, his eyebrows were gentle, Zhan Lianshi didn't smile on his face, but his eyes were like a starry night, and he didn't treat others with indifference.
Zhan Lianshi was photoshopped. Zhan Keke said that a family photo requires the whole family to be together. Her father was sick and couldn't take a family photo with them, so he photoshopped his father. This is how he got such a complete family photo.
This family photo was taken when Zhan Keke was eight years old. They were still very young at that time. Lin Lian and Zhan Lianshi stood behind them, like two big trees that had been protecting them and shielding them from wind and rain.
But now...
Zhan Suiling frowned deeply, looked away and lowered his head.
At this moment, he clenched his fingers together and tightened them.
Under each towering old tree, dead leaves accumulated layer after layer.
As time goes by, they are automatically buried deep, just like day after day, the traces of yesterday gradually fade away, leaving behind new footprints.
Lin Lian stood on these dead leaves, looking at the ancient trees with their strong trunks, standing quietly between the sky and the earth. To them, ten years seemed like just a snap of the fingers, they had not changed.
Live here forever, life after life.
However, there was a road here ten years ago, but now, this road is hidden by dead leaves, and there is no trace of it anymore.
Lin Lian looked at everything here, carefully, looking from every tree trunk, and then his eyes fell on the front, deep in the forest.
She couldn't see the end, couldn't see what was ahead, and the silent unknown fell into her eyes, as if telling her that there was nothing inside.
The person she is waiting for is not here.
Aren't you here?
Lin Lian smiled faintly.
The breeze blew over, the branches and leaves swayed, and there was a small sound in the forest, as if they were saying something.
Listening to the rustling sound in the forest curtain, watching the leaves fall and the branches swaying, everything here became alive, even the sunlight penetrated from the dense shade of the trees and shone on her face.
She felt a slight warmth, like a big warm hand touching her gently.
She looked up and looked at the beam of light cast down.
The light was golden and so dazzling that she couldn't open her eyes.
Her eyelashes fluttered and then closed.
At this moment, the light filled her face, illuminating her white hair and giving it a light golden halo.
A soft smile spread on her face.
During the Zhanlian period, summer will begin tomorrow.
Zhan Keke and Dean played until noon before returning home, and as soon as she got home, she smelled the familiar aroma of food.
Her eyes lit up and she immediately ran into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the soft figure wearing an apron stood in front of the kitchen counter. She was washing rice with the rice cooker pot in her hand.
Seeing Lin Liang, Zhan Keke's eyes heated up, and he ran over and hugged Lin Lian: "Mommy..."
After not seeing her all morning, she felt an indescribable feeling when she saw her mommy again.
Want to cry.
Lin Liang was hugged by Zhan Keke, and his voice was filled with dependence and crying, as if he had been wronged a lot.
However, based on her understanding of Zhan Keke, the little girl was acting coquettishly.
No big deal.
She put down her inner wear, took the towel and wiped her hands, then looked at the little girl buried in her arms: "What's wrong?"
Her voice was still soft and she raised the little girl's face.
The little girl's eyes were red, even with tears in her eyes, and she looked pitiful.
Lin Lian was stunned: "What happened?"
Little girls rarely cry, especially when they grow up.
Seeing her like this now, she was a little surprised.
Zhan Keke looked at the real person in front of her and the concern on Lin Lian's face. She pursed her lips tightly and hugged Lin Lian again: "Mommy can't just disappear like this in the future, Ke Ke is scared."
Lin Lian was stunned for a moment when he directly expressed his feelings, and then smiled: "Mommy just went out for a while, you were all sleeping, so Mommy didn't call you."
"What's wrong? Are you worried that Mommy will get lost, huh?"
Lifting the little girl's face again, Lin Lian looked at her with a smile.
Zhan Keke pouted: "No matter!"
"Keke is just afraid that Mommy will get lost, and Keke just wants to stay with Mommy!"
"Where mommy is going in the future, she must tell Coco!"
"Mommy has to wake up Coco even if she falls asleep! We have to tell her!"
She looked serious and domineering, and she wanted Lin Lian to agree.
Lin Lian smiled: "Okay, Mommy promises you!"
Zhan Keke was happy now, and she immediately said: "Keke, help mommy!"
Then he stood next to Lin Lian and wanted to help her.
However, as soon as she rolled up her sleeves, she saw someone else in the kitchen.
