After my eldest brother finished his work, he asked the hair-washing girl to wash and cut my hair, and then my grandma. After finishing his work, it was already eleven o'clock.
Then we went to have lunch together, which was quite fun.
After my eldest brother knew that we were going back to our hometown in the afternoon, he felt very sorry and suggested that we stay a few more days.
Tomorrow is Monday. If you're not busy, you might be able to take some time off and take a walk with us.
Grandma smiled and said: "We won't stay any longer, and don't ask for leave. Work is still important."
After saying that, grandma said as if something suddenly occurred to her: "Next year, your grandpa may move to the city, and Xiao An will follow. Then you will have plenty of opportunities to meet, cough, cough, cough..."
After grandma finished speaking, she started coughing again. Why did I feel so awkward after listening to grandma's words? I suddenly thought of yesterday's dream again, but I felt that now was not the time to ask.
"Okay, I'm too busy and haven't had time to buy you anything." The eldest brother said regretfully.
"You don't need to buy anything." After the eldest sister finished speaking, she suddenly smiled brightly and said: "By the way, Dongming, that old woman from before may be a little interested in you, you..."
"Ahem..." The eldest brother coughed awkwardly: "That rich woman just wants to support the pretty boy, but I will always be something she can't get."
As for the character of our eldest brother, we have nothing to worry about. He is not that kind of person.
After we finished eating, we said goodbye to my eldest brother. After he went back to work, we got in the car and returned to my aunt's house. My second aunt and uncle learned that my grandma was leaving and came to see us off.
We prepared the gifts we were going to take and headed to the train station.
As a result, Xiao Qilei suddenly called and said that he and Xiao Mengxin were downstairs.
When we went downstairs, we saw Xiao Mengxin still carrying many gifts in her hands.
She walked up to her grandma with a smile and said, "Grandma, this is the supplement I bought for you. You must accept it."
After seeing Xiao Mengxin's beauty, the second aunt and the old uncle showed shocked expressions. The aunt had a straight face, obviously still angry with her for neglecting Gongsun Tianqiang.
I took a closer look at the things she bought. They were all expensive gifts, including Ganoderma lucidum powder and so on.
Grandma didn't want to refuse, but Xiao Mengxin was too enthusiastic to refuse and accepted.
Then she pointed to a large convenience bag in the car and said to me: "Xiao An, there is food and water there, as well as instant lunch boxes. Put some water in it and heat it up to eat."
I nodded and said calmly: "You are interested."
We didn't talk nonsense next, got on the bus and drove to the station. There were many gifts in large and small packages. Fortunately, Xiao Mengxin prepared a large suitcase in advance, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take it.
After we got off the bus and bought our tickets, we were ready to enter the platform. The eldest sister, Xiao Qilei and aunt were waving outside, telling us to pay attention to safety on the road.
Xiao Mengxin's eyes were red, she looked at me reluctantly, straightened the collar of my clothes, and said gently: "Xiao An, I will go see you."
Parting always makes people feel depressed. I nodded slightly and turned around and walked into the station. Grandma greeted them a few more times and followed them.
After getting on the train, I looked at the scenery outside the window and thought to myself, goodbye Hualian City. I don’t know when I’ll come back next time.
The departure time is at one o'clock, it takes six hours to drive, and it's already dark when we get home.
I took a nap first, and when I woke up and thought about the dream that made me uneasy, I finally couldn't help but ask my grandma, "Grandma, I had a strange dream yesterday. It was about you."
"What dream?" Grandma looked away and looked out the window and said with a smile.
Then I told my grandma about the dream that scared me. With a look of worry on my face, I asked her what the dream meant.
"It doesn't mean anything, don't think too much about it." Grandma stroked my head and said kindly. Although she was smiling, she looked at me with deep eyes that seemed to contain deep reluctance.
This made me even more worried, but no matter how I asked after that, my grandma said it was okay and told me not to think so much, so I had to give up the idea of asking.
I leaned on my chin and looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window. Gradually, the afterglow of the setting sun filled the earth, like a layer of golden gauze.
Xiao Mengxin's beautiful face appeared in the golden sun. I was a little stunned for a moment, thinking about what happened to us in the past two days.
I think Xiao Mengxin is quite broad-minded. I said so many cruel and ruthless words, but she didn't even turn her back or anything.
She also said that she would come to see me, which made me look forward to it. At the same time, I also snorted in my heart, "Humph, come and see me, and I won't pay attention to you."
The sun slowly set and the night was shrouded in darkness. I looked at the time and saw that it was already past five o'clock and we were almost home. After eating a quick lunch with my grandma.
Only then did I think of Xu Xiangfei, who went to Hualian City to work in clothing a few months ago. I forgot to see him this time, and I don’t know what happened to him and that little kitten. I thought I would see him next time I had the chance to come to Hualian City. Him.
Soon, after arriving at the place, I picked up my luggage and got out of the car with my grandma.
I saw my grandpa picking us up from far away. He was holding a flashlight and looking around for us.
"Grandpa, here." I waved to grandpa.
Grandpa walked over quickly with a smile. When he saw me dragging a big suitcase in my right hand and carrying a big bag in my left hand, he exclaimed: "Oh, who bought these? Why are there so many things?"
"They were all bought by the beautiful girl, his sister and Guifeng. Let's talk about it when we get home." Grandma suddenly said.
"Okay, bring me the suitcase, Xiao An. I'm really tired after sitting in the car all afternoon." Grandpa took the suitcase.
After returning home, my grandpa asked if the trip went well, how was the fun, etc., so I simply told him what happened during the trip.
When my grandfather heard this, he said with a surprised expression: "What? Jiang Lan is blind and Gongsun Mo is dead? Oh, it's really..."
Grandpa then sighed and said that the old man deserved to die because he was stubborn and refused to listen to advice. Then he asked us, Gongsun Qingtian, if they blamed us or anything.
Afraid that grandpa would be worried, we didn’t tell him about the unpleasant things that happened to Gongsun Qingyu, we just kept it in the best light.
Regarding the fact that Xiao Qilei's sister is the other half of my soul, my grandfather also expressed great surprise. Then he sighed and said that meeting her this time was fate or something, and asked if we had reconciled.
I didn’t say much, just that we were friends for the time being. Grandpa opened the suitcase again and took out the gifts inside. He sighed and said that there were so many expensive gifts.
I suddenly asked, "Grandpa, is there any news about Huanhuan?"
After speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became dull.
Grandpa sighed and said, "Hey, I went to the police station yesterday, but there was no news."
After hearing this, I lowered my eyes and looked out the window at the night, thinking to myself Huanhuan, where are you?
Grandma comforted me and said not to think too much. Huanhuan might come back on her own one day.
I said to myself that I hope so, and then the two elders chatted, and I took out the big brother's phone, which contained the messages Xiao Mengxin and the eldest sister sent me, asking if we were home. I gave a simple reply and went to the kang to rest.
I didn't talk all night. The first thing I did after breakfast the next day was to go to the police station to inquire about He Huanhuan. However, what I got was still disappointing.
I went for a walk by the river across from the train track again. When I came back, I went to He Gui's house. They were all at home.
Mother and daughter Yin Wenqian were smiling and making dumplings just like they did during the Chinese New Year.
He Gui sat on the kang with a melancholy look on his face, his eyes darkened, and there was a moment of light in his eyes after seeing me.
"Why did you come to my house?" Guo Meilian suddenly frowned and said coldly: "You are not welcome in our house!"
Yin Wenqian sneered sarcastically and looked at me without saying anything.
"Shut up!" I glared at Guo Meilian and said, "Don't let me know that you lost He Huanhuan, otherwise I will make your mother and daughter look good!"
boom!
Yin Wenqian slammed the table and stared at me, "Chen Ba'an, let me tell you, are you a little sick? He Huanhuan's disappearance has nothing to do with us. Stop coming to my house and acting like a rogue. Get out of here, and your grandma uses magic to beat you." I'll keep it in mind for hurting our account, you've been waiting for it!" Her eyes were extremely hateful.
"You!" I was in a bad mood and had no place to vent. Just when I was about to argue with her, He Gui interrupted me, "Okay, stop arguing. It's over!"
He looked at me again and said, "Xiao An, let's go out and talk."
I snorted coldly and walked out the door. He Gui came out and lit a cigarette. He sighed deeply and looked up at the sky and said, "Tell me, where did Huanhuan go? I'm so hot, I can't eat well every day." , I can’t sleep well.”
I thought to myself that he still had the nerve to eat and sleep, so why not starve him to death? He Huanhuan didn't know how to cherish love when he was here, so what's the use of being here with a sad face after he disappeared?
"He Gui, come with me." I said with a cold face and walked away.
After he caught up, I asked coldly: "He Gui, haven't you noticed anything unusual from Yin Wenqian in the past few months? News about He Huanhuan."
In the past three months, I have sneaked into his backyard more than once to spy on Yin Wenqian's behavior, and once I caught her having an affair with another man, but I didn't find any clues about He Huanhuan's disappearance.
Although He Gui is a bastard, he is not a fool. If He Huanhuan's disappearance really has something to do with Yin Wenqian, I don't believe he can't detect anything.
"Huh." He Gui exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "You always suspected that they took away He Huanhuan, right? My thoughts are the same as yours."
He tilted his head and looked at me in despair, "But I tried every means, even getting Yin Wenqian drunk once, but I still couldn't get any clues about He Huanhuan's disappearance from her, hey."
"Then I can only say that that bitch is so deep in the city and so well hidden!" I said coldly.
He Gui looked forward and said, "You just concluded that He Huanhuan's disappearance has something to do with Yin Wenqian?"
Didn't I say what he asked was nonsense?
She disappeared earlier than later, but she disappeared only after Yin Wenqian and her daughter were taught a lesson by my grandma. This must have a lot to do with Yin Wenqian, but we have no evidence.
"Hey, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this year will be difficult." He Gui sighed.
I remained silent. During the Chinese New Year, He Huanhuan and I would play outside with our skateboards. We were very carefree and happy.
In the first year of junior high school, Teacher Qiao would also bring He Huanhuan to my grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings. We had a very good relationship. Thinking of Teacher Qiao, I felt even more disappointed and resentful.
"Why?" I stared into his eyes and said coldly: "Tell me the truth, how did Teacher Qiao die?"
"I..." He Gui's eyes flickered.
