He was obviously very tired, but as soon as the genius started to shine, Liang Jian woke up and couldn't sleep anymore.
After washing carefully and changing into the coat that Xiang Jin and the others bought for him last time they came to Taihe, they called Shen Lianqing and asked him: "Is Xiao Wu awake?"
Shen Lianqing replied: "He hasn't come back yet."
Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "He didn't come back all night last night?"
"Yes." Shen Lianqing replied.
Liang Jian looked at the time and saw that it was just after seven o'clock. Today, he and Xiang Jin made an appointment to meet at Changbai Villa for lunch. It takes at least four hours to get to Changbai Villa from here. It's lunch time to set off now. It's small. Wu hasn't come back yet. He knew that he was going to see Xiang Jin this morning. But he hasn't come back yet at this time. He can only be delayed by something. Thinking of the weirdness of that place, Liang Jian couldn't help but worry about Xiang Jin. 5. However, time was tight and we had made an appointment to have lunch. This time, Liang Jian didn’t want to be late.
Liang Jian thought over and over again and decided to go alone. Shen Lianqing asked him to stay here so that if anything happened, he could deal with it.
After Liang Jian told Shen Lianqing a few words, he drove all the way out of the city, then got on the Xijing Expressway and went straight to Changbai Villa. Along the way, except for Shen Lianqing's call to tell Ming De that Ming De had woken up, his cell phone kept buzzing. Quiet. It is as if everyone and everything in this world are isolated at this moment. It is actually a rare silence.
Liang Jian listened to the songs on the radio that he couldn't name but felt familiar to him. When the speed slowed down, he opened the window and blew in the biting cold wind. His mind was unusually empty. Unknowingly, , more than four hours later, Liang Jian arrived at the paradise in the valley again.
The security guard at the entrance seemed to have changed, and they stopped Liang Jian as usual. However, this time, after Liang Jian reported his name, the security guard immediately let him go. Liang Jian thought that Xiang Jin had already greeted him. .
The car was parked in the parking lot, and a staff member drove over in a small sightseeing car, picked up Liang Jian, and took him to the door of the villa.
The aunt was holding a watering can in the yard and playing with some bare branches of unknown species. Liang Jian called him. She looked up and saw Liang Jian, immediately put the watering bottle on, came over and opened the door to welcome Liang Jian in.
As she walked, she said: "Just now Lao Xiang was asking when you would come, but I didn't expect that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would be here soon."
When she spoke, her smile was as bright as a flower. Liang Jian looked at her in surprise. Did she just call Minister Xiang Lao Xiang? In the past, she always called her chief. Liang Jian was not sure what this change meant.
When I entered the door, I saw Minister Xiang sitting on a chair facing the window in the room on the left, with his head lowered, as if he was looking at something. The aunt did not call him, but said softly to Liang Jian: "Sit down for a while, and we will come soon." We can eat!" Then, he went to the kitchen. Liang Jian looked around on the first floor, but found no sign of Xiang Jin or the child.
Liang Jian looked at the stairs leading to the second floor, and thought for a moment, he'd better say hello to his father-in-law first. Liang Jian walked to the door of the open room on the left, raised his hand and knocked on the door. , woke up Minister Xiang who was intoxicated on something.
Minister Xiang turned around and saw Liang Jian. He stood up from his chair, walked to the desk and put down the things in his hands before saying hello to him: "You're here! You set off early, right?"
Liang Jian smiled and said: "It's okay." When he finished speaking, he glanced at the thing that Minister Xiang put on the desk just now. It was a photo frame. There was a photo of the three of them in the frame. Minister Xiang was still very young. , handsome and masculine, the woman next to him is as gentle as jade, with skin as smooth as gel. She holds a chubby little girl in her arms, with two braids, and a candied haws in her hand, but there is a smile on her face. There was a string of tears, and the little mouth was pursed, as if full of grievances.
"This is a family photo taken when Xiang Jin was two years old." When Minister Xiang said this, his eyes fell on the photo again, and his eyes revealed countless longings and regrets. After so many years, The death of Xiang Jin's mother was in his heart, and he still couldn't forgive himself. He smiled bitterly and said: "Not long after this photo was taken, Xiang Jin's mother passed away. This is the first time we take pictures, and it is also the last time!" When I got married, I didn’t even have time to take wedding photos because I was too busy at work.”
Liang Jian stood there with mixed feelings in his heart.
Suddenly, Minister Xiang looked up at him and said, "You came here early in the morning. You must be hungry. Let's eat!"
When Liang Jian heard this, he said, "Then I'll call Xiang Jin. Is she upstairs?" Liang Jian said, and was about to turn around and go upstairs. But Minister Xiang stopped him and said, "Let your aunt go." Call."
Although Liang Jian was surprised, he didn't think much about it. He could only hold back his desire to see Xiang Jin and waited for his aunt to call Xiang Jin down. The aunt called out twice at the top of the stairs.
Footsteps soon came from upstairs. But they were not the footsteps of a single person.
There was another man who came down with Xiang Jin.
When Liang Jian saw that man, he clenched his fists immediately. When the aunt saw him, her expression changed and she blurted out, "Mr. Zhou, why are you still here?"
Minister Xiang looked at Liang Jian and took over what the aunt said: "I left him here to eat!"
The aunt looked at Minister Xiang, then at Liang Jian, and finally at Xiang Jin, who was walking behind the man and holding Tang Li in his arms.
Xiang Jin kept his head down, looking at the wooden stairs at his feet. When he was almost at the end, the man walking in front suddenly turned around and reached out to help Xiang Jin. His hand touched Xiang Jin's arm. At that moment, Liang Jian felt as if the fire in his chest had exploded, roaring to be vented outward.
He didn't know how he could hold back his anger. Maybe it was Minister Xiang's look, or Xiang Jin's words, "You're here," or maybe it was Tang Li who suddenly felt so angry when he saw him. A meaningless grunt.
Mr. Zhou, as the aunt said, came over and stretched out his hand to Liang Jian, with a decent smile and said: "Hello, Zhou Mingwei."
Liang Jian withdrew his gaze from Xiang Jin and landed on Zhou Mingwei's face. He wanted to smile appropriately like him, so that he could at least not lose to this man in front of Xiang Jin, but he really smiled. He couldn't come out. He could only use an indifferent expression to cover up the roaring anger in his heart.
"Hello. Liang Jian."
Zhou Mingwei smiled, with a hint of provocation in his eyes: "I know you, the municipal party secretary of Taihe City, Xiling Province. I heard in the past few days that you seem to have been suspended? Is it true?"
Minister Xiang looked at Liang Jian in surprise. Xiang Jin also looked at him in surprise. Liang Jian finally smiled and said: "It's true. I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to be quite concerned about my affairs!"
"You are Xiang Jin's husband, so naturally I should care about you!" Zhou Mingwei replied.
Liang Jian glanced at Xiang Jin and felt a knife stirring in his chest. He was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
Minister Xiang interrupted the conversation between the two of them in time: "Stop talking now, sit down and eat!"
When sitting down, Zhou Mingwei pulled out the chair next to Xiang Jin and sat down. Liang Jian sat down opposite Xiang Jin.
After sitting down, Liang Jian didn't see Nishang, so he asked: "Where is Nishang?"
Xiang Jin finally spoke to him: "Send it to Mother Li!"
Liang Jian frowned. Although he missed Nishang very much, after all, it was Xiang Jin who was taking care of the child. He had no reason to say anything about her decision, not to mention that Xiang Jin was still sick.
After the aunt brought all the dishes, Minister Xiang suddenly said: "Xiao Zhou, sit down and eat quickly, don't be busy!"
When the aunt heard this, her face suddenly turned red. She rubbed the apron in front of her with both hands, feeling a little embarrassed and didn't know where to sit.
Minister Xiang spoke again: "Liang Jian, please take the seat next to you. This seat will be given to you, Aunt Zhou!"
Liang Jian hurriedly moved his seat, and Aunt Zhou sat down with a blushing face.
After Aunt Zhou sat down, Minister Xiang looked at Xiang Jin, then at Liang Jian, smiled, and said to Liang Jian: "Aunt Zhou and I plan to collect the certificate in a few days."
Liang Jian was startled. Then he looked at Aunt Zhou with her head lowered and the girlish blush on her cheeks. Then he recalled the flower-like smile on her face when she walked in. He suddenly understood. It turned out that this was the reason for his joy.
Liang Jian also feels good that Minister Xiang can be with Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou has stayed in the Xiang family all her life and treats Xiang Jin as if she were her own child. Now that the two of them can get together and have a companion in their later years, it's not bad. But...
…
Liang Jian tried his best to make his smile look less awkward, picked up the water glass on the table towards Aunt Zhou and Minister Xiang, and said: "This is a good thing! Then I will drink tea instead of wine and toast to you and Aunt Zhou. I wish you the best."
A happy marriage for a hundred years."
Aunt Zhou was very happy. She would take a look at Minister Xiang from time to time. She was not looking directly at him, but like a young girl looking at her sweetheart, with that shy look that always drifted out of the corners of her eyes.
of.
After Xiang Jin also raised the glass of water and called Aunt Zhou "Mom", her crimson cheeks became even redder, and even her eyes became red. There were crystal tears in the corners of her wrinkled eyes, secretly sliding down. Aunt Zhou
He immediately turned his head and wiped away his tears.
"My mother has been away for so many years, but you have been taking care of me and my father. You have become like my mother. So, I want to thank you!" Xiang Jin looked at her, his eyes red.
Liang Jian looked at her. She had lost weight again. Even indoors, she still wore a beige hat. She hid her once-black hair in the hat, leaving only a few strands hanging on her shoulders. Look.
After she finished speaking, she brought the water glass close to her bloodless lips and drank the warm water in one gulp. A lot of fear suddenly surged in Liang Jian's heart. This fear came inexplicably and caught people off guard.
Liang Jian turned to look at Minister Xiang. He was also looking at Xiang Jin. There was sadness, regret, and helplessness in his eyes. A bad feeling suddenly hit his heart, making Liang Jian unbearable.
Still trembled.
He kept telling himself in his heart, no! However, fear still surrounded him layer by layer with an unstoppable momentum.
