The dead branches creaked a few times in the wind and rain, and fell into the lake in pieces. Feeling that the chill did not leave because of the hustle and bustle of the Nanmei Garden, Liu Changan carried Su Mei into the yard.
After walking around the covered bridges and trails, we arrived at a loft that stretched into the lake. A bonfire was lit on the terrace facing the water outside the building. It was burning brightly and was not affected by the slanting wind and drizzle at all, spreading the heat.
Scattered out in all directions.
Opposite the attic is a stage built for tonight's fireworks display. A small mountain of various fireworks and firecrackers are hidden under a waterproof tarpaulin, waiting for the rain to lighten up to bloom.
The attic window grilles were bright, and through the transparent glass, Liu Changan saw Qin Peng talking to Ye Jijin, and his expression seemed a little excited.
"That place... was burned, killed, and plundered by the Japanese before, and then the land was stripped again. When we went there..."
"When the fellow saw us, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy... He brought a pot of leaves, broken rice stalks and bran mixed together, and said tremblingly, Master, there really is nothing at home..."
"We quickly took dry food and distributed it to the fellow villagers there... Only then did they finally believe that we were different..."
As he spoke, Qin Peng slammed the table hard, "I swear, we must let our people, when they see our army, not tremble and kneel down to beg for mercy, but smile with joy and treat them as family members!"
"You have made too many vows, and this must be fulfilled." Ye Jijin patted her cousin on the shoulder and sighed slightly. There were too many things to do and changes to make, so she could only picture them slowly.
Of.
"Except for not becoming a train driver, which of my vows have not been fulfilled?" After saying that, Qin Peng nodded arrogantly, "I have been a railway worker, so... I can be considered to be related to a train driver."
Ye Jijin smiled and remembered what happened when she was a child. Her brother ordered a train from Europe and put it on the railway between Lin'an and Shanghai. It was convenient for Ye Jijin, who didn't like taking long-distance buses, to go on vacation. Qin Peng
I fell in love with that train when I saw it. I vowed to be a train driver when I grow up and drive this train around. My brother also asked him to lay railroad tracks all over the country.
Thinking about it now, what my brother said at that time planted a seed in Qin Peng's heart, and the look on Su Mei's face at that time also planted a seed in the heart of the young Ye Jijin... After all, the aunt and sister are sworn in.
So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. The carefree childhood was such an innocent and ignorant time that people miss it.
"Let's partner up tonight. It's best to let my sister-in-law lose and go bankrupt. What's the use of so much money? If the fireworks don't go off at night, I'll use them to buy guns and cannons to equip at least one regiment." Qin Peng said in a low voice, thinking about it when he was a child.
The woman who was called "Meijieer" now calls her "sister-in-law" is still a bit timid.
"My brother is in charge, and now she is doing serious business, saving the country through industry, and raising funds for the rear. If you let her lose everything, you are killing the goose to obtain the egg." Ye Jijin also couldn't stand Su Mei's extravagant life style, but think about it.
In the past, when I thought about my brother, I couldn't say anything to accuse Su Mei.
"I'm just talking. I haven't played cards for a long time. I'll try my luck with a few games later. If my sister-in-law doesn't let me go, I'll have to ask my brother for help." Qin Peng felt confident after saying that, even though his eldest brother had taken over the property.
The management was handed over to Su Mei, but who didn't have some private money? Every time Qin Peng went to ask for help, he would always dig in a little here and pull a little there, and give it to Qin Peng.
Qin Peng's biggest wish is to wait for the country to usher in peace, then take a train with his eldest brother and travel across this great country. He wants to be a train driver for his eldest brother.
"Playing cards always requires people to let go, what's the point?" Su Mei walked in and heard Qin Peng's last words, smiling, "Every time Ziqing suddenly comes to play with me, I get a headache and don't send him away.
No, if he refuses to leave, let him go and he will come back for more next time."
Qin Penghan laughed twice and felt a little hot, but when he thought about the career he wanted to do and what he was for... his personal face didn't matter. He was already used to being laughed at by her.
"Sister Mei, it's wrong for you to say that." Ye Jijin also smiled, "Brother, originally a share of the family property was left for Ziqing... At most, it was a shareholder who came to get dividends. How can you say it's just a waste? You
If you feel it is inappropriate, then calculate the shares again and clear out my and Ziqing's shares. If you have the strength to buy back, we will have no problem with it."
"Haha...Jin'er is really becoming more and more eloquent. Are you kidding me? If the family talks about returning the purchase, doesn't that mean they have to separate? It's too emotional." Su Mei paused for a moment, the corners of her mouth raised slightly,
"But Jin'er has also reached the age of marriage. This share was originally meant to be used as a dowry. I don't know which kid will get the advantage. Maybe the emperor marrying his daughter is not as good as Master Ye marrying his sister."
"If the country is like this, why should we call it home? The champion Hou of two thousand years ago had already explained this clearly." Ye Jijin said calmly, and it was hard to hold back the frustration in her heart.
This Su Mei is a wealthy lady from the old era who was poisoned by feudal ideas. The implication behind her words is that she is throwing water on her married daughter, implying that Ye Jijin will marry off sooner or later to gain advantage from outsiders. She, Su Mei, is the one who leads the way.
A member of the family who married in with family property.
"Jin'er is a person who understands things and does big things. It seems that I have to accept the baptism of advanced ideas and keep pace with the times. Otherwise, I don't understand what you are saying. I only know how to worry about family affairs and...he
To do things, you have to have a pattern but no pattern, and you have to have a vision without a vision." Su Mei also sighed softly and looked at "him" with some self-pity.
"Thank you, Sister Mei, for the compliment. What big things can I do? I haven't done anything. Instead, I've been busy and delayed my family affairs. Look, I haven't had time to accompany my brother during this period. Fortunately, Sister Mei, you can come here. In the future
When I have free time, I naturally want to make up for my brother... How about traveling around the country by train with Ziqing?" After saying that, Ye Jijin turned her head, her eyes filled with warmth and attachment.
Qin Peng waved his hands repeatedly. He already sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He pursed his lips calmly. If he let out a word, it would be his own misfortune to whichever party he offended.
Su Mei felt even tighter in her chest. This Ye Jijin, it is not unfair at all to say that she is sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. This level of yin and yang is at least sixty-seven percent of what his brother was capable of when he was not a human being.
"Fortunately, Sister Mei, you can come here", it seems that because she, Ye Jijin, is not with him, Su Mei can take advantage of it. When she comes back in the future, nothing will happen to Su Mei!
Is this what a sister-in-law and sister-in-law say? In comparison, Qin Peng, who can be bribed with money, looks pleasing to the eye.
Those who want money are really easy to get rid of. This Ye Jijin doesn’t want money, but she wants people!
"Look at you, you guys start fighting as soon as we meet, you're so skinny." Liu Changan took advantage of his height and stretched out his hand to take all three people in front of him into his arms.
Qin Peng was also tall, so he quickly bowed his head, allowing his elder brother to gently pat the back of his head with his palm.
Liu Changan tilted his cheek slightly and rubbed the top of Ye Jijin's head. The girl in front of him was not Qin Yanan, but the little girl who liked to eat bird's nest porridge with his brother in many of his dreams.
It's just... this is still a dream.
"Crack!"
There was a sound of fireworks blooming outside the window, and then dazzling lights and shadows bloomed in the rainy night, and high and low voices came one after another from far and near.
In every household around the Nanmei Garden, some people walked into their own yards, while others just opened the doors and windows, looked up at the air-conditioning, and gradually fell into a trance, putting their hands in their pockets, staring at the "thousands of flowers blossoming on the east wind night" in front of them.
Stars fall like rain in all kinds of clear, turbid, and old eyes.
The fireworks would go off for a while, and Qin Peng opened the window of the terrace facing the water, making the beautiful scenery even more shocking. The people's shouts made the scene more real, but Qin Peng, who had seen too many scenes of people living in dire straits, was a little confused.
It's just that he is a determined person. He quickly got rid of the unnecessary emotional influence and felt that his heart was bleeding. If these fireworks were exchanged for arms...
"Brother, when we were young, we would set off fireworks and watch fireworks every year." Ye Jijin leaned on her brother's arms, her bright eyes becoming blurred because of the fireworks and the color of the lake.
Liu Changan did not speak, but hugged her harder. The scene at this moment was so dreamy, and she in his arms was so real.
He suddenly thought that he was still Ye Chenyu, and the scene in front of him was his current experience, while the memories of Liu Jianshe and Liu Changan were a little distant, as if they were drifting and hidden deep in his memory.
Such a feeling made him wake up. The thought just now was probably the so-called "inner demon"? In Xianxia novels, I saw that strong people encountered the temper of their inner demons when they ascended, and they often fell into a certain period in the past.
I remember a certain period of time when I was finally unable to extricate myself and failed to ascend.
If Liu Changan had an ordinary person's mind, he would probably easily fall into this kind of dream where he could not distinguish between illusion and reality, and would eventually be manipulated by Shangguan Dandan. And that Long, who had always wanted to usurp the throne, probably
She would give him, who had finally turned into a walking zombie due to the sinking of his character, to her stepmothers to have fun with in exchange for supporting her in ascending to the position of head of the sect.
Thinking about these messy things, Liu Changan became extremely sober. When he looked down at Ye Jijin in his arms, the sense of reality had dissipated a lot. He couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart. He didn't want to sink, but he still lingered on the illusory satisfaction.
, human beings are always so entangled and confused, and so is he.
After watching the fireworks for a while, Qin Peng came back to study the mahjong tiles without much interest, and planned to wait for how to win money from his sister-in-law.
Su Mei seemed to have something to do, she glanced at Liu Changan tenderly, and then left in the direction of the covered bridge leading to the outside of Nanmei Garden.
Liu Changan felt a movement in his heart. He had not forgotten his main task tonight. After tying Ye Jijin's shawl, he flashed and followed Su Mei from a distance.
"My blood is Phoenix blood, can it make the potion take effect?"
Su Mei came to a monastery outside Nanmei Garden. After chatting with a nun for a few words, she suddenly let out a low voice in surprise.
