The day before leaving Lotus City, our small group of five got together again.
Fang Zhongyu asked Lulu anxiously: "You also want to go back with Nuanting?"
Lulu asked a strange question: "Of course, what are you thinking about? Where is Nuanting and where am I? Anyway, I can't go to school. I will definitely stay with her in the future."
Fang Zhongyu lowered his voice aggrievedly: "What about me?"
"Anyway, our hometown is not far from Lianhua City, and the transportation is convenient now. You can come over if you have time."
"Then...okay."
Han Ziqi and Chen Xi’s parents were gone, and they were not in the mood to go abroad for further studies. Both of them had the kind of temperament that could survive in the mud, so when Chen Xi told us, they were going to open a piano studio together.
At that time, I was not surprised at all.
So...this huge Yunlu Group is weighing on Fang Zhongyu.
Fang Zhongyu rolled around on the ground for a while regardless of his image, but he couldn't change the minds of the four of us.
Before leaving, the five of us went to the restaurant where we used to do homework together when we were children.
Later, when the second uncle became prosperous, he did not sell it and continued to operate it.
We walked there, I held my blind stick and let Han Ziqi hold me up.
As we were walking, Han Ziqi suddenly came close to my ear and said, "Do you have anything to do when you go back?"
I paused and realized that Han Ziqi really understood me, but I couldn't tell him yet, so I shook my head.
Han Ziqi's hand on my arm tightened, and he finally sighed beside me: "Okay, you can go back and relax, but don't forget our four-year agreement."
"Um."
My other hand was in my pocket, holding Tong Tong's essence tightly.
After staying in Lianhua City for another two days, we met Aunt Lu and Lan Yao.
Lan Yao is almost fourteen years old. She told me that many students in her class have reached the rebellious stage.
I grabbed Lan Yao's hand and told her worriedly: "Lanyao, it's not easy for Aunt Lu to take you by herself."
Lu Lanyao paused, squeezed my hand, leaned on my shoulder and said in a muffled voice: "Sister, I will never be rebellious. You are all the people I love most."
There was clearly a tear falling on the back of my hand.
Aunt Lu has never concealed Lan Yao's life experience. We all hope that she will grow up to be a strong girl.
Moreover, Aunt Lu would regularly take Lan Yao back to Song Village to worship Aunt Li.
I sighed and hugged Lan Yao tightly.
Lan Yao's life experience is more difficult than mine, but I hope her future will be brighter than mine.
Aunt Lu said that we should go back first, and when Lan Yao goes on winter vacation, they will also go back to Song Village, and then everyone will be together again.
The next day we set off on the road back to our hometown.
I was still in poor health and fell asleep several times along the way. I was so frightened that Zhao Ting kept calling me.
After finally reaching the national highway not far from the village, we got off the car.
I stopped where I was, raised my face and looked ahead. In the darkness, I could still picture the village in my memory.
It was already very cold, and the wind felt like a knife on my face.
My mother took a coat and hurriedly covered me with it. At this time, the sound of a car came from the direction of the village entrance, and someone in the car was shouting.
It seems to be Uncle Qian.
"Lao Yun! Ouch! You are back! When Sister-in-law Lu called me, I still didn't believe it. Wuwuwu. If you don't come back after more than ten years, I will feel so guilty. Wuwuwu
.”
Uncle Qian came to us crying all the way.
My dad laughed and comforted him: "It's okay, village chief, it's been so long, don't be sad."
Then Uncle Qian stopped crying and his voice was a little shocked: "Nuan Ting, your eyes..."
My mother sniffed: "Let's talk while walking."
"Hey, okay, I drove here specially to pick you up. Get in the car, it's warm in the car."
Fortunately, Uncle Qian drove a large gold cup, otherwise the five of us, including Uncle Qian, would really not be able to sit down.
Zhao Ting sat next to me obediently. She would hand me water at one moment and paper towels at the other. She would also tell me in a sweet voice: "Sister, please slow down, it's hot."
Lulu didn't even have a chance to show off. She was jealous of Zhao Ting, and Zhao Ting had to coax Lulu. I rarely wanted to laugh.
"Lao Yun, this is the second child."
"Yes, Zhaoting, my name is Uncle Qian."
"Hello Uncle Qian!"
"Hey, okay."
It was probably Uncle Qian who gave Zhaoting a red envelope. My dad and Uncle Qian tore it up for a long time, and finally ended successfully with Uncle Qian saying, "It's not for you, it's for the child."
Later, Uncle Qian asked me about my eyes and why my second uncle didn't come back. My dad told Uncle Qian one by one.
At the end of the story, Uncle Qian parked the car on the side of the road, and the two of them got out of the car and squatted on the side of the road, smoking and crying.
I couldn't hear the word "second uncle" now, so I leaned back on the chair and squinted my eyes to sleep.
Later, we returned to our long-lost home. After arriving home, my dad cleaned up the house and helped Zhao Ting inside and outside. For Zhao Ting, this was the first time he came to a real home.
So excited.
Lulu and I asked my mother to take us to visit Aunt Bai's grave.
The reason why it wasn't Lulu and us who went there was because... I couldn't see ghosts.
Snake Eyes, along with that part of my soul, was completely extracted. Now I am not even as good as an ordinary person, and my soul is incomplete.
If you pass this life, you will be a fool in the next life.
Lulu reported her safety at Aunt Bai's grave, and we went home.
After that, many people from the village came, all coming to give things to Lulu and us, and to apologize to my parents.
The courtyard was bustling with people, chatting lively, and my parents and Zhao Ting were tightly surrounded. Zhao Ting was cute and smart, and the aunts and uncles in the village liked him very much, and they gave him a lot of pocket money throughout the afternoon.
I sat on a chair under the bird's nest on the eaves, listening to the bustle that I couldn't see. Occasionally I could answer a few words, but more often than not, I just liked to listen to their joys, sorrows and joys, and their familiar kindness.
Listen to the wind blowing and the sound of falling snow.
Lulu took a blanket and wrapped it around me from behind. She said hoarsely, "Nuan Ting, are you cold?"
I shook my head: "It's not cold... Lulu, why are you crying?"
"I, I didn't cry."
"you're lying."
Lulu hugged me and said in a muffled voice: "It just reminds me of when we were children. We were very happy."
I smiled and said, "We are very happy now, why are you not old enough to recall the past first?"
Lulu shook her head heavily and cried in a suppressed voice: "When I looked at you from behind, I felt that you were so lonely, and I couldn't help you, so I was worried."
I was stunned.
Loneliness... doesn't seem to be there, it's just that I have experienced some things and now I like to be quieter.
I silently squeezed the essence in my pocket and patted Lulu's arm holding my chest: "Don't worry, our family will soon be back to what it used to be."
