Nanyuan was very close to the fourth room, and the two people stood at the door and talked for a while.
"...No need to trouble you, I want to celebrate the New Year here, and I will accompany her." Jiang Yanjin said.
Yun Qiao nodded: "That's good, I'm not very good at comforting people."
She asked again, "Where is your father?"
"I'm back to Peiping. I drove back with the driver overnight." Jiang Yanjin said.
Yun Qiao: "It's freezing cold here, so it's hard to walk on the road."
"Let him go." Jiang Yanjin said, "I respect and love him, and I hope I don't live like him, hypocritically."
Yun Qiao still doesn't quite understand how children feel about their parents.
What kind of love is this kind of love at the same time? Is family love so complicated?
"I will not get married in the future." Jiang Yanjin said, "When the country is complete and the sea and rivers are full, I will get married again."
Yun Qiao: "The ambition is great and I admire it very much."
She didn't let Jiang Yanjin see her off, and walked back slowly by herself.
Yun Qiao was not deeply touched by this incident. After all, she had no feelings for the Jiang family, so it was difficult for her to resonate with her heart.
The Jiang couple's troubles were not caused by external factors, nor by Yun Qiao's few words, nor by Jiang Yanjin's rebellion, but by the internal suffering reaching its end, and the brewing anger igniting all the suppressed grievances, gushing out.
out.
Sooner or later, Mr. Jiang and his wife will have to deal with something like this, and they may even end up not having any contact with each other even when they are seventy or eighty years old.
Men cannot face their early cowardice, and women cannot endure betrayal in times of crisis.
They suppressed their old grudges with deformed things like opium.
Until their son insisted on breaking through the wall they had built high, the situation they had worked so hard to maintain was broken, beyond repair, and could never go back to the way it was before.
When Yun Qiao walked to Uncle Qi's side, there was enough light from the street lights, making her shadow very long.
The door opened and Xi Rong walked out.
He seemed to have seen Yun Qiao coming and opened the door to wait for her: "Miss Yun Qiao."
Yun Qiao comes in.
Xi Lanting made black tea here. Yun Qiao was not full just now, so she used black tea to fill the gap in her stomach.
She also told Xi Lanting about the Jiang family.
After hearing this, Xi Lanting said to Yun Qiao: "Whenever you are wronged, cry when you need to, and retaliate when you need to. No matter how hard you endure, you will fall short in the end and suffer so much in vain."
Just like Mrs. Jiang, if she had slapped her husband twice when she was rescued, quit opium as soon as possible, and then divorced, she might have remarried now.
However, she had two children at that time, so she might not be able to leave easily.
Even if they don't get divorced and the couple has a falling out, it's more comfortable than pretending to be in love, and it won't make them feel sick in retrospect.
Yun Qiao nodded, indicating that he had learned the lesson.
Xi Lanting said to her again: "Don't mind your own business, eat well, sleep well, and live your own good life."
Yun Qiao smiled: "Yeah."
The wintersweet bloomed in the corner, so Xi Lanting picked one and gave it to her, and ordered her to be kicked out.
Yun Qiao had a belly full of hot tea and a flower with a refreshing fragrance in her hand. Even if it was freezing outside, she felt like she was bathed in the spring breeze.
Xi Rong walked her to the door and told her: "Miss Yunqiao can go back through the small bamboo forest, at least half the way."
Yun Qiao glanced at the small bamboo forest.
The bamboos bent by the snow were cut down, and the snow on the path was swept clean. I don't know when several floor lamps were set up, illuminating the dark path with unusual warmth.
Her heart moved slightly and she asked Xi Rong: "Did Master Qi do it?"
This road has never been maintained very much, and it connects the fourth house and Xi Lanting's courtyard.
However, Master Qi didn't want to see the people in the fourth room, and the people in the fourth room didn't dare to chat with him. To be serious, Yun Qiao often took this route.
She walks alone.
"Yes, we installed the street lights this afternoon." Xi Rong said with a smile.
