Chen Hong said: "Let's go to the 'One Drop of Water Tea House' next to my house at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon." Xiao Zheng said: "I will be there on time." After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng's attitude was decisive, but his emotions were complicated.
He didn't expect that Chen Hong hadn't realized his problem until now, and only thought that he was childish and hurt each other's feelings.
However, tomorrow's meeting may bring a complete end to the relationship between him and Chen Hong. Every moment of the past with Chen Hong flashed through his mind, especially the shock in his heart when he saw her for the first time.
The throbbing when holding hands, the tenderness when kissing for the first time, the traces left by her beautiful face in his life, like the spots of sunlight leaking through the leaves, beautiful, but also mottled and alienated.
For a moment, he only felt a little sad, a little lonely, and a little uncontrollably sad... After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Zheng finally fell asleep.
On Saturday morning, the air was cool, but the sunshine was very good, and there was a sense of transparency that penetrated everything. Autumn has come.
Xiao Zheng thought of what happened between him and Chen Hong. He hadn't officially told his parents yet, so he planned to ride a motorcycle back. The last time he used the bus, he was reported once, and Xiao Zheng didn't want to use the bus again today, Saturday.
The safety factor of riding a motorcycle will be a little lower, but riding a motorcycle in this lukewarm autumn, walking through the yellow and green mountains, can't help but make people feel relaxed and happy, and the entangled atmosphere in their hearts will be swept away.
.
Xiao Zheng deliberately did not call home, so that his mother would not have to work hard to prepare lunch again. Xiao Zheng is now the deputy county magistrate, and the food in the cafeteria every day is nutritious enough. In addition, he has to socialize frequently, so he inevitably eats a lot of wine and meat.
I have been feeling a little heavier recently. So when I went home, Xiao Zheng just wanted to have some simple meals with his parents.
After passing the well-protected old locust tree at the entrance of the village, passing through the "Hidden Dragon Sword Rain" ancient street archway and food street, and passing a B&B and a creative cafe, Xiao Zheng arrived at the door of his home. Unexpectedly, there was that car parked in front of his home again.
Black dash.
This Mercedes-Benz car has always appeared at the door of his house once a year since Xiao Zheng was young, and it has been coming more frequently recently. In the past few times, Xiao Zheng basically passed by this Mercedes-Benz. When he arrived,
By the time, the big Ben had already left. At this moment, the people in the big Ben were obviously still at home. Xiao Zheng quickly stopped the motorcycle and quickly entered the house.
After entering the door, Xiao Zheng saw the back of an old man, sitting at the Eight Immortals table in the restaurant. Beside him stood a man, also in a black suit and white shirt, with hard leather shoes on his feet, and his body was very stiff. He should be
Well-trained security personnel who appear to be old men.
Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei were also sitting at the table, talking to the old man. Xiao Zheng only heard the old man say: "Master, you can almost return to the capital..." Before he could finish speaking, he realized that someone had come in, and
He stopped talking and turned around.
Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei were a little surprised when they saw their son suddenly coming back. They both stood up and said, "Xiao Zheng, why did you come back suddenly."
Xiao Zheng said: "Yes, I'll come to see you on the weekend." Xiao Zheng looked at the old man.
Xiao Zheng can be sure that this is the first time he has seen this old man. The old man has a kind face, a very upright appearance, and his black hair is neatly combed. Some people age before they get old, and they already grow hair in their early forties.
He has gorgeous hair, but this old man has black hair like ink. I don’t know if he dyed his hair or was born with it.
In addition to his shiny black hair, this old man's eyes were hale and hearty, giving people a feeling of high energy. Xiao Rongrong was much younger than him, but in terms of mental state alone, he was not as good as this sixty-year-old man.
Xiao Zheng asked Xiao Rongrong: "Dad, this guest is..." Waiting for Xiao Rongrong's answer.
However, Xiao Rongrong was a little embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to speak.
When Xiao Zheng was looking at the old man, the old man was also looking at Xiao Zheng. Without waiting for Xiao Rongrong to answer, he said: "The descendants of the Xiao family in Huajing are indeed extraordinary! Young master, I am the steward of the Xiao family in Huajing.
My name is Weng Benchu, you can call me 'Steward Weng' or 'Old Man'."
Huajing Xiao family? Old housekeeper?
Just now, this Weng Benchu called Xiao Rongrong "Young Master" and himself "Little Young Master". From this, we can also see his identity as a housekeeper. A housekeeper has such magnanimity, which shows that the Xiao family in Huajing may really be
Extraordinary.
Xiao Zheng had vaguely heard his parents talk about this relationship between Xiao Rongrong and the Xiao family before, and he had guessed part of it himself, but now that he had officially met this "butler", Xiao Zheng still felt that it was very unreal.
Xiao Zheng said calmly: "Steward Weng, what is the purpose of Huajing's Xiao family often sending you to our home?" Steward Weng said: "In the past, we contacted Xiao family members from all over the world every year in order to control the Xiao family.
The dynamics of the members. However, I have a special mission this time. That is to hope that the young master, young madam and young master can return to the Xiao family in Huajing."
Although the butler said it was hope, there was no emotion in his tone, as if this was a conclusion. Xiao Zheng couldn't help but look at Xiao Rongrong and said, "Dad, what do you think?"
At this point, the background of the Xiao family in Huajing can no longer be hidden. Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei looked at each other and nodded tacitly. Xiao Rongrong said: "We don't want to go back to the Xiao family in Huajing. After so many years, we
We have also adapted to life in Lushui Village. The Hua Jingxiao family did not accept your mother's identity, and they did not support us even when we needed help the most. We have survived the most difficult times, and now we
Have a great time in Green Water Village!”
Fei Qingmei also said: "Now that Lushui Village is getting better and better, our life will definitely become more and more prosperous. Why should we get involved in the infighting of the Hua Jingxiao family?"
Xiao Rongrong said again: "Qingmei, you are right. The Hua Jingxiao family is fighting openly and secretly. I am no longer used to that kind of life."
"Why are there open and covert fights? That's because the Huajing Xiao family has resources!" Weng Benchu suddenly said, "When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Where there are fish, there must be fishermen competing for it. This is also the lure of the Huajing Xiao family.
Human place, you say, right?"
"We don't need the resources of the Xiao family in Huajing." Xiao Rongrong said, "If we did, we would not have left the Xiao family thirty years ago."
"Young Master, I admit that you are right. Neither you nor the Young Madam need too many resources, and your life is very simple. If you don't have desires, you will be just." Weng Benchu said, although he expressed understanding, there was still no emotion in his tone.
"So, I have never explicitly proposed that you return to the Xiao family in Huajing before. But the situation is different now. Your son, the young master, has already reached the rank of deputy county magistrate. The Xiao family has always valued political talents.
I value that the young master has never used family resources, but he can rely on his own wisdom and emotional intelligence to reach this level at the age of thirty, which fully proves that the young master has political talents! Therefore, the Huajing Xiao family asked me today
I am here to inform you that the Xiao family has made full preparations for your family of three to return to the Xiao family."
