"Honey, I'm happy today. Please cook more dishes and let's have a good chat with Yingzi and the others." Wu Chengcang said to Xia Rong.
"Okay, I'll go out and buy some more food." Xia Rong said, and she stood up.
Although Wu Chengcang occupies a high position and although they are older, they are in good health and do not let anyone else take care of them. They do all the washing and cooking themselves.
"Stop working, Aunt Rong." Qin Ying quickly stopped her, "We have to leave later."
"Why are you leaving? It's so hard to come back." Xia Rong said in a tone that she could not refuse, "No matter how big the deal is, you have to eat a meal before leaving."
"This..." Qin Ying was a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Mom, let's stay." Su Qingyun saw that she actually wanted to stay, but she just didn't want to disturb her too much. She said deliberately, "If you don't want to stay, I still want to stay and talk to Grandma Rong and the others."
"Yes, if you don't want to stay, just leave. As long as Qingyun stays with me." Xia Rong saw what Su Qingyun meant and cooperated with her.
"Why don't I want to stay?" Qin Ying said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I won't leave."
"That's right." Xia Rong was satisfied, "Then you do it first, and I'll go buy groceries."
"Aunt Rong, let's go with you." Qin Ying also stood up. How could she let her work alone.
"Yes, Grandma Rong, let's go together." Su Qingyun agreed, "I'm very curious about the capital. I want to see everything."
"Okay, okay, let's go together." Xia Rong was so happy that she couldn't help but look at Ji Yue, "Do you want Ayue to go together?"
"No, I'm tired from walking just now. I'll stay here to rest." Ji Yue refused.
Wu Chengcang glanced at him, with a smile in his eyes. His heart was like a mirror. How could this kid be tired from walking? It was obvious that he didn't want to leave him at home alone.
"Can you play chess?" he asked Ji Yue.
Ji Yue nodded, "I know a little bit."
"Yes, I can, and no, I can't. What does it mean to know a little?" Wu Chengcang deliberately kept a straight face, "How can a young man be so ambiguous in his words?"
"Yes." Ji Yue could only affirm.
"Okay, let's play two games." Wu Chengcang went to get the chessboard.
After setting up, the two began to play against each other.
"Let's go."
Seeing that these two people were having fun, Xia Rong called Su Qingyun and her daughter out.
The three of them pushed open the fence door and went out. Qin Ying subconsciously glanced to the right. Her former home was over there.
Xia Rong noticed her eyes and said in a gentle and distressed tone, "Would you like to take a look?"
Qin Ying was silent for a moment, but still shook her head, "No, it would be bad if it disturbs others." She didn't know which family lived in the house now.
"It's nothing to disturb. Your house has always been empty."
"Empty?" Qin Ying couldn't believe it. His parents had been away for so many years. There were so many people coming and going from the army family home every year. How could it be possible that their house was still empty and no one lived in it?
"This is all thanks to your good brother." Xia Rong said the last three words through gritted teeth, which sounded like sarcasm.
A name immediately emerged in Qin Ying's mind.
"Lu Cheng, what did he do?" After knowing what Lu Cheng had done, Qin Ying was filled with disgust and hatred when he mentioned this name again.
She thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out why people's hearts became so scary. Is it just because of rights? In order to gain rights, he will do whatever it takes, even betraying someone who is as good to him as his biological father.
Such a person, when he holds great power, is a disaster.
Lu Cheng's incident had such a great impact on her that it shocked him so much that Qin Ying even doubted for a time whether there was any real relationship in this world that did not involve any interests.
But then she figured it out, there are tens of millions of people in this world, some are for money and profit, and some are for love and justice.
The Qin family was just unlucky enough to meet such a person. It was others who were at fault, not themselves.
Just like what her father said in the letter, as long as they have a clear conscience, they are not afraid of people's words and are not afraid of wind and rain.
"He." When Xia Rong mentioned this person, her face was full of disgust. "I don't know what's wrong with him. After he did that disgusting thing, he pretended to prevent him from applying to keep your house. Come down."
"What he said was, 'Maybe one day Mr. Qin will come back and he won't have a place to live.' I don't know how he told the higher-ups, but he really kept this house, and nothing in it was touched. "
"Some people say that he regrets what he did."
Qin Ying sneered, "Repent? Is regret useful?"
"I think he has a guilty conscience and is afraid of retribution."
Qin Ying rarely spoke in such a sharp voice, so it was possible to see the deep indignation in her heart.
Su Qingyun agreed with her mother's view in her heart. In addition, she felt that there was another possibility, that is, this man named Lu Cheng had left a way out for herself.
If one day her grandfather returns to the capital and is reinstated, he might be able to use this to play the bitter card. After all, her grandfather once really valued him. If he thinks about his past friendship, say Maybe you will really forgive him.
But Su Qingyun felt that it was absolutely impossible to forgive her grandfather's temper. Although she had not met her grandfather, she could feel it from the letters she exchanged. Her grandfather Qin Weiguo was a man who knew right from wrong and hated evil very much. This kind of betrayal is absolutely impossible to forgive.
This point can be seen from the fact that her grandpa was unwilling to lead the militia when he arrived at the farm in New Province and instead followed him to farm. It can be seen that her grandpa is really a very stubborn person and will never change the things he believes in.
"Let's go and have a look." Xia Rong said.
"Okay." Qin Ying couldn't hold back her thoughts and wanted to see if her former home was still the same as in her memory.
The Qin family is about a hundred meters ahead, just around the corner.
Arriving at the door of the house, Qin Ying saw the scene in front of her, her eyes widened and she couldn't believe it, "How could it be?"
What did she see? In the same small white building, the small garden behind the fence gate is full of flowers and plants, swaying in the wind, and the breeze brings bursts of fragrance, and everything is clean.
How could the home in front of her be exactly the same as in her memory? It seems that almost twenty years have stopped here, and this house still has a lively atmosphere, as if the next second, the gentle mother in the memory will come out of the house and ask softly: "Come back?" "
"Let's go in and take a look." Xia Rong said. She actually took out a key from her bag and opened the door directly.
The three of them entered the house. Qin Ying was stunned after seeing the furnishings in the house clearly.
"How is it? Is it exactly the same as in your memory?" Xia Rong asked softly.
"Yes, exactly the same." Qin Ying didn't look away at all.
This sentence is not exaggerated at all. The appearance of the house is no different from when she left home. The bookcases, tables, chairs, and decorative objects are all just covered with a layer of white cloth. Even the walls are still hung with paintings from when she was young. Photo with parents.
Nothing has changed. Qin Ying suddenly felt a sense of separation in time and space as she looked at all this.
Xia Rong's eyes were pleased, "That's good, that's good."
Over the years, Qin Ying was not the only one who missed the people and things in this house, but also her.
She often thinks of the time she spent with her friends. At this time, she would come here to take a look, tend to the flowers and plants, and clean the house. She wants everything here to be clean, so that when her friends come back, everything will be as before. , nothing has changed.
"Thank you, Aunt Rong, thank you." Qin Ying's nose felt sour and she almost shed tears. The reason why this house can be maintained like this, even the furniture is stain-free, the reason is completely beyond his imagination, it's Aunt Rong. Help take care of it.
"Things that are easy to do are not worth thanking." Xia Rong lovingly wiped her tears.
Even though Yingzi is now a mother, in Xia Rong's heart, she still looks like that young girl, and she really treats her as her daughter.
Qin Ying looked at every corner of the house infatuatedly, as if he wanted to carve every detail into his mind.
Neither Su Qingyun nor Xia Rong disturbed this tender moment, but at this moment, the door that had been closed was pushed open again, and a voice broke the tranquility of the moment.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man who came in stood upright and walked vigorously. Even in middle age, he still has a handsome face and eyes like an eagle.
He looked at the backs of the two strangers in front of him and asked sternly: "Who allowed you to enter this house?"
The man glanced at Xia Rong aside and was stunned, "Aunt Rong, are you here? Why did you bring outsiders into Qin's house?"
Although the tone softened a bit, you could still hear the secret blame inside.
He knew that she often came to help clean the house, so it was not surprising that Xia Rong was here, but who were these other two people?
Xia Rong's face turned cold, "Don't call me that, I have nothing to do with you."
"Also, Lu Cheng, you are the only outsider in this room now."
The man they were talking about just now, Lu Cheng, was tall and mighty. He had held a high position of power over the years, and his aura was overwhelming. His eyes looking at the backs of Qin and Ying were sharp.
"What do you mean?" Lu Cheng frowned, not understanding what Xia Rong meant by this sentence.
Xia Rong looked at Qin Ying.
Qin Ying's body froze when she heard the voice. She still recognized Lu Cheng's voice after not seeing him for many years. Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes couldn't help showing hatred.
She was afraid to turn around, afraid that as soon as she saw his face, she would want to rush up and strangle him.
Lu Cheng sensed something was wrong and stared at Qin Ying closely, "Turn around."
Qin Ying did not move, but Su Qingyun beside her turned around and met Lu Cheng's eyes.
Lu Cheng's pupils shrank, his body shook violently, and a name blurted out, "Yingzi?"
Su Qingyun's face had no expression. Was it like Grandma Rong, thinking she was her mother?
