The two aunts never expected that the young girl who had just sat next to them and kept playing with her mobile phone quietly was one of the protagonists they mentioned.

The aunt who played mahjong with Song Yanping many years ago looked at the girl in front of her. It took a long time to find the little girl on her face.

Even from her outline, you can still vaguely see the silly shadow of the past. The young girl in her early twenties dressed up very beautifully, with thin arms and waists. Her pink makeup on her face looked clean and beautiful, and she called out to Auntie calmly.

The personality seems to have completely changed.

It was not as good as the girl who was clamoring downstairs to make the whole community feel uneasy.

"I've grown up," the aunt nodded. The more I looked at it, the more I felt that time was really wonderful. "Your mother is always worried that you will make trouble when you grow up, but she didn't expect that she has become a completely different person."

At this time, the staff called Xuezhu's number.

She stood up, Meng Yuning was half a head short, so his breath came from top to bottom, making Xue Zhu dare not raise her head.

The demolition agreement has not been settled, and the government and real estate are still negotiating with each household. Xuezhu asked a few doubts as stated by her father. As for the amount of resettlement compensation, since her father has no objection, she has nothing to worry about.

After finishing the work, Meng Yuning is still there.

After all, it was an old neighbor, so I must say that the man proposed to send two aunts home.

Xuezhu tightened her hand while holding the suitcase towing rod, and finally said the first sentence she said after reunited with Meng Yuning: "Brother Yuning, I'll leave first."

"I'm here to pick you up."

After the words finished, Meng Yuning wanted to take the suitcase from her.

She pinched the drag rod and shook her head: "I won't bother you anymore."

Such a polite and estranged refusal made Meng Yuning's hand stagnant in the air.

The two aunts had already gotten into the back seat of the car and asked them why they hadn't gotten into the car through the anti-sight film.

"immediately."

He replied briefly, and then without waiting for her to let go, he reached out to hold the drag rod. As soon as his finger touched the back of her hand, she quickly retracted and avoided his hand.

Meng Yuning didn't say anything, so she simply helped her put her suitcase.

This set of slow and slow movements did not give Xue Zhu any chance to refuse. The man whispered: "Get in the car."

If you refuse again, it will seem pretentious. Xue Zhu nodded: "Thank you."

She subconsciously walked to the back seat of the car, but the two aunts said to her: "Xiaozhu, sit in front, it just so happens that you two are talking about the past."

Xuezhu can't say that she doesn't want to reminisce about the past with Meng Yuning.

The face they should give is still given, they are not enemies.

In fact, Xuezhu herself doesn't understand what she is thinking now.

I haven't seen each other for a few years. I have dreamed that they met again after a long separation in my dream. In the dream, she was either so happy that she danced with joy or crying with pear blossoms and rain, as if Meng Yuning was the master, and her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness changed with him.

This premonition was rejected today. Apart from being unaccustomed and subconsciously avoiding her, her reaction was not that exaggerated.

After getting into the co-pilot, Xuezhu's eyes were a little uncontrollable, and every subtle movement of the man driving around her would be easily captured by her after her aftertaste.

But she did not do anything other than looking at him with her eyes.

To the man's eyes, she looks cold and unfamiliar, as if she is riding in a stranger's car.

Meng Yuning's eyes were stagnant and he spoke first.

“When did you come back?”

“Three o'clock in the afternoon.”

“Which flight is it?”

Xuezhu didn't know what she asked about this, but she didn't remember which trip she had. She took out her cell phone and looked at the information and reported it to him.

He looked ahead, his voice was low, and he smiled and said, "It's too late."

"ah?"

Meng Yuning did not answer and asked her again: "How long will she plan to come back?"

“Not sure yet.”

He didn't ask anymore, and she didn't speak anymore.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold. If the two aunts in the back seat were still talking, maybe the air conditioning in the car might not have to be turned on at this time.

There are obviously many memories of my childhood that can be described. Even if I don’t talk about the past and talk about my current work and life, I won’t have nothing to say.

Xuezhu remembered that Zhu Qingying came to Shanghai to play with her during college. She hadn't seen her two good friends for a long time. After being unfamiliar for more than ten minutes, she quickly found her state of talking about everything back then, as if she had never been separated. Later, when Zhu Qingying left, she reluctantly sent her to the high-speed rail station.

It turns out that reunion after a long separation is also different.

Some people seemed to have first met and were excited to cry; some people were sitting on pins and needles, silent.

This strangeness makes people feel at a loss and even scratch the heart.

After sending the two aunts back to the community, when he said goodbye, Xuezhu subconsciously looked out through the car window.

The iron gate at the entrance of the community was rusted, the walls were covered with yellow and mottled. After a closer look, the community notices for several years had not been torn clean yet. They were stuck on them and were wet and wet after being weathered and wet.

Xuezhu didn't plan to live here when she came back this time. She had agreed to her mother before she came back that she would move to her mother's house first during this period.

The car drove away from the community again.

After driving in and out the two times, she saw many new changes clearly, such as the renovation of the nearby old building's storefronts, the roadside stalls disappeared, and there were many classified public trash cans on the street. More than a decade ago, the busiest shopping malls and supermarkets across the street also turned into towering office buildings.

This road is still called Affiliated Middle Road, but everyone and scenery on the road have changed.

Without two aunts, the silence along the way, time passed by, and it was very difficult.

The community where Song Yanping lives is still an old house, and there is no elevator on the sixth floor. Meng Yuning parked his car in the open parking space and helped Xuezhu lift his suitcase upstairs.

The stairs were narrow, and Xuezhu followed him step by step, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't told him where his mother lived.

"By the way, my mom lives--"

"Fifth floor," Meng Yuning said, "I know."

"How do you know?"

"I came back a few months earlier than you and came to have a meal."

Xue Zhuqian's lips wanted to say something, Song Yanping had already heard their footsteps in advance and opened the door to greet her.

"You are back, come in quickly." Song Yanping said.

Xuezhu remembered that when she was a child, she often watched TV secretly while her parents were not at home. She could tell whether they were back by just listening to her steps. It turned out that this kind of induction was not just her.

The unit of 70 to 80 square meters is not big, but it is clean and has a good orientation. The sunlight shines in to make the whole house look bright and warm.

The mother and daughter were sitting in the living room. Song Yanping asked Xuezhu how she was doing in Hong Kong and what plans were after graduation.

Xuezhu said she hadn't thought about it yet.

"It's okay to go back to Guangdong. After all, your dad is doing well there and can protect you if he has anything to do." Song Yanping said.

Only no mention was brought back to Tongzhou.

Xuezhu looked at her mother. Since the divorce, she has not become very haggard. She should work or work, and she should live. Maybe she has no one around her who can nag, and she does not talk too much like before, and she always talks to people in a commanding tone, and she has become much easier-going.

When they decided to divorce, the family felt like it collapsed in an instant.

At that time, I felt that it was the end of the world. Now, when I think about it, there is nothing that cannot be cured by time.

Song Yanping cared about her daughter for most of the day and finally asked: "How is your dad's health recently?"

"It's okay," said Xuezhu, "he said he was going to quit smoking recently. I don't know if it's true."

Song Yanping smiled and said, "It's enough for him to have this idea. Yan is not that easy to quit, take your time."

In recent years, I have heard that Pei Lianyi has made a lot of money in Guangdong. Some old friends even feel sorry for her and think that her divorce is not worth it. Song Yanping doesn't think it's a pity. Whether he made money or not has nothing to do with the fact that they divorced. The reason why they divorced was because the two of them had no common topics and could not survive.

But Song Yanping was quite lucky.

Girls need to be raised in wealth, Pei Lianyi knows this better than her.

It was right to let my daughter follow her father back then.

The afternoon passed quickly, and the afterglow of the setting sun gradually moved indoors, slowly becoming dim, and finally replaced by lights.

In the evening, Song Yanping made a meal for three people, and Meng Yuning and Xue Zhu loved to eat each cut in half.

The three of them were eating vegetables quietly, and Song Yanping suddenly asked Xuezhu: "You don't watch TV when you eat now?"

Xuezhu shook her head: "I won't look at it anymore."

She doesn't remember how long it took for her to watch TV.

Song Yanping found another topic: "Today you two went to see grandpa in the hospital. Is grandpa in good health?"

As a former daughter-in-law, she was too diligent. When she went there, she was worried that she would be gossiped about and was not good for the elderly.

Xuezhu looked up in a daze.

What two? Who are she and?

Meng Yuning opened her lips: "When I went to the hospital, Xiaozhu had already left, and later went to the Housing Management Bureau to find her."
