The scenery in the mountains is better than that in the city. The location of Lao Qin's house is also good. Sitting in the yard, you can see the huge mountains covered in silver.
Since Ye Yun and Qin Zheng left, Luo Xiujuan has done her best to take care of the old lady.
In the morning, Qin Xiang'e went out to sell mung bean cakes, and she stayed with the old lady at home, basking in the sun and doing housework. In the afternoon, when Qin Xiang'e came home, she rode the 28-meter pole to the town to take a look at Wangshan Tower.
B&Bs are being expanded around Wangshan Tower.
Ruan Boli is a businessman who never wastes time. He hired a professional construction team to build a B&B near Wangshan Tower similar to a resort mountain village.
The most important one is a hot spring pool.
Ruan Boli said that he wanted to build a unique hot spring resort.
The expansion project will inevitably raise dust. The inside of Wangshan Building is fine, but there is a layer of dust outside, which Luo Xiujuan cannot clean.
Ruan Boli and others live in Wangshan Building and often help clean the inside. As for the outside, they unanimously decided to do a general cleaning together when the surrounding area is expanded.
After watching Wangshan Tower as usual, Luo Xiujuan went home just in time to finish cooking.
She poured a bucket of water and washed the meat that Qin Xiang'e brought back from town at noon, planning to stew large meat noodles with wild vegetables in the evening.
If it is stewed very badly, it is best if it becomes rotten when touched, so that the old lady can bite it with her teeth.
Luo Xiujuan washed the wild vegetables carefully and sighed in her heart, how could she have imagined that she could live such a life before?
Although she was embarrassed to eat this big piece of meat, the oiliness alone was enough to satisfy her craving.
In the past, she took her son to sleep in the open air. She ate one meal without the next, and saved a piece of dry food for three days. How could she see the smell of meat in every meal like now?
Her son is doing well now.
Every once in a while, Ye Yun would call the village to tell her about Xiao Hai's current situation, and also ask Xiao Hai to say a few words to her.
She knew that Xiaohai lived a better life than her in the county town and still studied.
These were given to Xiao Hai by Ye Yun and Qin Zheng. Ye Yun and Qin Zheng treated Xiao Hai as their own sons, and she remembered all the good things they did to her mother and son.
As she thought about it, Luo Xiujuan began to miss her son.
She naturally has nothing to worry about when the little guy is with Ye Yun. It's just that the separation has been long, and she, as a mother, can't help but miss him.
"mother!"
A childish voice suddenly sounded.
Luo Xiujuan, who was washing wild vegetables with her head down, couldn't help being startled and looked up in surprise.
It turned out that she was washing the vegetables with her head down, and she was so distracted that she didn't even notice a car parked in front of her house.
Beside the car, Briquettes was circling the car body and shouting excitedly.
Xiaohai leaned against the car window and shouted.
Seeing Luo Xiujuan looking up and spotting him, Qin Zheng's childish features suddenly lit up with joy. Qin Zheng opened the door for him and immediately jumped out of the car, running toward Luo Xiujuan like a little monkey.
"This this……"
Luo Xiujuan looked at Xiao Hai running towards her in astonishment until the little guy suddenly hugged her, hugged her neck tightly, and buried his little head in her arms.
As if she had been missing her for a long time, the little guy hugged her neck and cried muffledly.
At such a young age, he was suppressed and did not make a sound. He buried his head in sobs and could only see his twitching shoulders.
Only then did Luo Xiujuan come back to her senses.
He quickly dropped the wild vegetables in his hands, wiped his hands with his apron, held Xiao Hai's face, and asked anxiously: "Xiao Hai? Why are you back?"
Xiao Hai looked at her without saying a word, tears falling down.
This look made Luo Xiujuan even more anxious. Could it be that Xiaohai got into trouble in the county and was sent back by Ye Yun and Qin Zheng?
"Juanzi..."
At this moment, another trembling voice reached Luo Xiujuan's ears.
Luo Xiujuan was suddenly startled.
This sound seemed to span centuries, so long ago that she couldn't even believe that she could still hear this sound that she had almost forgotten.
But it still hit her as soon as it appeared, causing her thoughts to become chaotic in an instant.
Luo Xiujuan turned her head in disbelief and saw a thin but familiar figure getting out of the car. It was Xun Xiangbin.
Her heart froze, and she could hardly believe what she saw.
"Juanzi, do you still recognize me?" Xun Xiangbin saw the shock in Luo Xiujuan's eyes, and a trace of bitterness rose in his eyebrows.
He used crutches and walked up the slope tremblingly step by step.
He came to see Luo Xiujuan before his body recovered. The nearly three days of exposure made him extremely weak, and he could barely walk steadily with the help of the crutches in his hands.
As he approached Luo Xiujuan step by step, the shock in the woman's eyes became clearer, which deeply hurt Xun Xiangbin's eyes.
He looked at Luo Xiujuan greedily.
Look at her mixed black and white hair, look at the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, look at her face that is no longer what it used to be.
But she is not yet thirty.
Just five years.
The girl with braided braids and pure eyes who would sit with him in the mountains and watch the clouds roll in and out was actually as old as a thirty-year-old woman.
Luo Xiujuan looked at a loss.
She didn't expect to see Xun Xiangbin so soon. He had been gone for so many years and there was no news. She even thought that she would never see him again in this life.
Unexpectedly, she saw it.
Not only was it seen, it was so sudden.
"What are you doing standing in the yard? Isn't it cold?" Lao Gao got out of the car with a curse and shouted into the yard.
He first looked up and down at Luo Xiujuan with an unclear expression, thinking, is this the girl that Xun Xiangbin can't forget?
Today's Luo Xiujuan is really not good-looking. Not long ago, she was a beggar with a child, skinny as a stick, with a sallow complexion and thin muscles.
Although I have regained some energy during this period at Lao Qin's house, the loss of energy and appearance is not easy to recover. There are fine lines at the corners of the eyes, a few strands of white hair on the temples, and hair as dry as grass. Pointed, it makes people feel that she is rustic and poor.
Lao Gao turned his head and glared at Xun Xiangbin.
"You kid, are you stupid when you see people? You want to freeze in the yard, but I don't want to accompany you!" Lao Gao said, and walked into the main room.
Ye Yun and Qin Zheng then slowly entered the door.
Qin Zheng was still carrying the things he brought back from the city, big and small bags.
There are cotton-padded jackets that Ye Yun specially made for the old lady and Qin Xiang'e, as well as some food.
There is also a small schoolbag, which contains Xiaohai's homework. He brought it back to Luo Xiujuan and asked her to read Xiaohai's writing.
"Woof woof woof——"
The dog was extremely excited when he saw Qin Zheng. He followed Qin Zheng while barking at him. His tail was wagging as if he was about to take off, and he pounced on Qin Zheng from time to time!
Touch the dog! Touch the dog!
"Good dog!"
Qin Zheng was in a good mood, patted the dog's head and said some words of praise to satisfy it.
"Girls, you are home."
When Luo Xiujuan saw Ye Yun, she ignored Xun Xiangbin and quickly went to pick up the large and small bags from Qin Zheng's hand.
