However, taking so many things from Jiang Yue at once, Mao Doudou was still a little bit ashamed, feeling that he had no merit and no reward.
"Brother Yue, isn't this a bit much? I think that senior Axia is not that materialistic, right?"
"Just accept it if it's given to you. Where does all this nonsense come from? It's their business if they don't covet it. Whether you have this intention or not, that's your business."
"Besides, didn't you still owe Xiao Zhong a greeting gift before? Didn't you bring your sister to Star City? As an elder brother, you have to give me some greeting gifts, right?"
"Hey, Brother Yue, you've been thoughtful, so I'll accept it shamelessly." Mao Doudou and Jiang Yutie didn't need too many polite words.
Of course, it would be a lie to say that Mao Doudou was not moved. Brother Yue has considered it so thoughtfully, and that is because he sincerely thinks about him.
The experiences these days have made Mao Doudou understand that everything is easy to obtain in this world, but sincerity is rare.
The two returned to the living room, where Tong Feifei and Wang Xiawei were still communicating about their experiences during this period.
Seeing Jiang Yue and the others walking back, Wang Xiawei said: "Brother Yue, I have been to your house before. But didn't your family move to a villa in Daozi Lane? This house seems to be well maintained, and it doesn't look like it has been unoccupied for a long time.
ah."
"Oh, I have to thank Sister Ding Lei for her diligence."
Jiang Yue actually saw it too.
There are many open windows in the house, and everything is neatly tidied and neatly arranged.
Except for the accumulation of a lot of supplies, which makes it look a bit crowded, the rest of the place is very clean. You can tell at a glance that there are hard-working people living here.
"Xiawei hasn't met Sister Ding Lei yet, has he?" Tong Feifei said.
It only took a few days for Ding Lei to be rescued. It had already been some days since Wang Xiawei went to the Operations Bureau for training.
The two of them have never met each other before.
At this moment, Ding Lei, wearing an apron and rolling up her sleeves, was walking out with a handful of vegetables and a smile.
"The kitchen is occupied by them, so I went to the balcony to wash it."
There were Zhong Leyi and Han Jingjing at the kitchen sink, and Ding Lei couldn't do anything there.
"Sister Ding Lei, let's get to know each other. This is also my good brother, Wang Xiawei. This is the first time for you to meet him. From now on, we will become one of our own."
Ding Lei said with a smile: "Hello."
Wang Xiawei quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Hello, Sister Ding Lei, I am Brother Yue's brother. Feel free to say hello to me if you need me in the future."
Ding Lei said with a smile: "I am only two or three years older than you. An ordinary little girl can have many brothers. I don't know how happy she is. But there is one thing, I am not allowed to call you by name in the future. I am not that old yet!"
Wang Xiawei smiled awkwardly and nodded.
"You guys are chatting while I go wash the vegetables."
After Ding Lei escaped from the misery of Wumei Community, she was depressed for a time, her spirit was dim and her desire for survival was weak.
However, during this period of time, with everyone's concern, she gradually found her passion for life.
After all, among a group of energetic young people, it is easy to get infected.
After all, she is only a young person in her early twenties.
Once the knot in her heart was opened and her enthusiasm for life was restored, Ding Lei naturally returned to her former optimism and cheerfulness.
Unlike these students, she has already experienced the workplace and is naturally more decent in interpersonal relationships. Among a group of young people, although she speaks less and listens more, she is naturally very skillful in life.
Wang Xiawei's eyes silently watched Ding Lei walking to the balcony, and then he looked away.
He immediately discovered that Mao Doudou, Tong Feifei and the others were looking at him with stern eyes and expressions on their faces that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Wang Xiawei probably also knew that he had lost his composure just now, so he smiled and actually said proactively: "Sister Ding Lei is very nice."
"Of course, it's true. Didn't you fall in love at first sight?" As long as it's other people's business, Mao Doudou always dares to say anything and is never afraid of getting into trouble when watching the fun.
"Don't deny it, there was something wrong with your little look just now. Hehe, we all saw it. Brother Yue, don't you think so?" Tong Feifei also joined the condemnation team.
Jiang Yue, on the other hand, just smiled and said nothing.
He was not willing to make such a joke casually.
Of course Sister Ding Lei is very good, but she is a person who has suffered serious injuries and psychological stimulation. She may not be able to accept a new relationship in such a short period of time.
Jiang Yue naturally saw the look in Wang Xiawei's eyes just now. Moreover, with his voyeuristic skills, he actually sensed the pounding heart behind Wang Xiawei's eyes.
No matter how much the Action Bureau trains people, no matter how much Wang Xiawei is reborn, he is still an eighteen-year-old young man with no love experience.
Love at this age often comes suddenly.
A turn around, a glance back, or an inadvertent eye contact can lead to feelings of love and falling in love.
Wang Xiawei is naturally no exception.
Facing the heckles from Mao Doudou and Tong Feifei, if it were Wang Xiawei in the past, he would definitely be at a loss, his face would turn red, and then hesitantly deny the explanation.
But at this moment, Wang Xiawei allowed these two people to use the topic and just smiled and said nothing.
When they had said enough, he said: "I don't know why, but I looked at Sister Ding Lei very kindly, just like the big sister from the neighbor's house. So I was stunned for a moment and looked at it twice. You two idiots, stop being blind."
Make a fuss, don't make Sister Ding Lei unhappy when you turn around."
Tong Feifei slapped his thigh: "I understand. I asked why Xiawei didn't like the girls in school in the past! The heel is here! It turns out that you like the older sister!"
This time, Mao Doudou actually did not join in the booing, but said: "I also think those little brats in school are not interesting. There is nothing wrong with the big sisters, they look more feminine."
Tong Feifei held his forehead and was speechless: "You two are so evil. This is called collusion and collusion!"
"Gungungun, just pay for your little bell. You know nothing about the matter between me and the great hero," Mao Doudou scolded.
The few of them chatted for a while, and Jiang Yue suddenly remembered something.
During this period of time, this house has been given to Ding Lei and others to live in, but there is a room that is a restricted area and no outsiders are allowed to enter.
That was his parents' room, which was always locked by Jiang Yue.
There had been no one to take care of it for a long time, and I was afraid that the room was already covered with dust. As he was free now, Jiang Yue decided to clean it himself.
After finding the key and opening the door, Jiang Yue found that the room was not as dusty as Jiang Yue imagined, and he couldn't even smell the moldy smell that had been sealed for a long time.
The whole room was spotless and the air was fresh, as if someone had always lived in it and taken care of it every day.
How can this be?
The door was locked, and it was impossible for Sister Ding Lei to be so arrogant and break into the elder's room without permission. Moreover, Ding Lei also knew that it was Jiang Yue's parents' room, so she would definitely not break in.
Others have even less reason to go in.
And to enter the house, you need to know how to walk through walls.
Who would be so bored that they can walk through walls to help clean the house?
&nnbsp;However, Jiang Yue walked around the room and quickly found the clue.
A piece of talisman paper two fingers wide was pressed against the bedside table.
But it is a dust-repelling charm.
Jiang Yue also knew that this kind of spiritual talisman was only a first-level spiritual talisman for beginners, and it was not a practical spiritual talisman. Although Jiang Yue knew about it, he had never refined it.
In terms of function, this dust repellent charm is not bad. It can at least replace a diligent nanny to keep the room clean and clear.
This reminded Jiang Yue of many kinds of non-combat functional talismans.
For example, the Freeze Talisman.
The purpose of this thing can almost replace the refrigerator, and the volume it covers is far larger than that of a household refrigerator. It can almost be regarded as a small cold storage.
Of course, Jiang Yue's mind was not on the talisman at the moment.
Since his father left home, Jiang Yue and his sister have always had a tacit understanding, trying not to enter their parents' room or disrupt the layout of their parents' room.
In fact, it's just that the two siblings didn't want to fall in love with each other.
Now, after experiencing a long period of strange times, Jiang Yue's mind is no longer as hesitant and helpless as before.
More and more clues indicate that the disappearance of parents is most likely the prelude to a strange era.
Nothing is accidental.
After gaining some mental strength, Jiang Yue was able to accept this calmly.
He thought, maybe there would be more clues left in his parents' room?
After having this idea, Jiang Yue no longer tabooed anything and slowly started searching in the room.
It has been ten years since my mother disappeared, but in the closet in her room, there are still many clothes hanging from before her disappearance. The styles from more than ten years ago still don't look too outdated now.
It can be seen that when my mother was young, she was also a woman who understood life very well. She was not the kind of person who plunged into scientific research and completely lost her life sentiment.
Jiang Yue also found the key to open the locked drawer.
This drawer was opened for the first time since Jiang Yue was sensible.
The moment Jiang Yue pulled out the drawer, his heart was filled with turbulence and he was a little unable to control himself.
When he was a child, he also asked his father, why was this drawer always locked?
His father did not scold him, but stroked his head and said with a smile: "When you grow up, won't you understand by opening it yourself?"
This incident has always left a deep impression on Jiang Yue.
He has felt since he was a child that this drawer must contain many interesting and interesting things.
Opening this drawer has always been something on his mind.
Now, are you considered grown up?
Of course, now Jiang Yue also knows that what is in the drawer is definitely not interesting.
The drawer was finally opened, and it was emptier than Jiang Yue imagined.
There were no bankbooks, no real estate certificates, no cash or jewelry, things that should have been locked. The most conspicuous thing was a photo album.
In addition to the photo album, there were also some small items. Jiang Yue checked them for a moment, and felt another wave of excitement in his heart.
These small items were all used by their family of four, and most of them were items used by their mother.
A horn comb, a domestic mechanical watch, and an old non-smart phone, Jiang Yue had an impression of these items. As for other less eye-catching daily necessities, Jiang Yue was still young at the time and no longer had them.
What an impression.
Jiang Yue took the photo album out of the drawer. Only to find that there was a diary underneath the photo album. The leather cover on the surface was very worn due to the passage of time.
The diary is still of an older style, and the leather cover on the outside has buckles at the beginning and end.
It can be seen that this diary should be my father's personal belongings. He has always treasured it very well. It is buried under the photo album, which seems to be at the bottom of the box.
Jiang Yue decided to look through the photo album first.
Opening the first page of the photo album, both pictures are group photos. The first group photo is a family portrait, and there is also a family portrait in my hometown.
The second picture is a photo of my parents.
The parents in the photo are very young, probably just married. Their young faces are filled with the joy of being newlyweds, and that kind of happiness almost overflows from the photo.
It can be seen from the photos that the relationship between the parents must be very good. Anyone can see the loving feeling under the camera at a glance.
Continuing to scroll through, the photos don’t have too many peculiarities, they just record every bit of the family, including the growth trajectory of their two siblings.
However, Jiang Yue still saw some clues.
In the later period, there were obviously fewer photos of my mother, and even if there were a few occasionally, the smile on my mother's face was obviously less.
Even in the photos with a smile, you can vaguely feel that the mother seems to be worried and stressed.
Judging from the conditions of Jiang Yue's family, they could not be said to be rich or wealthy, but their material conditions were certainly not bad. As for how stressful life was, it was obviously out of the question.
Therefore, the feeling of pressure on the mother's face is definitely not caused by family life.
Most likely, it was due to career pressure. Perhaps this paved the way for her subsequent disappearance?
Ten years later, her mother's voice and smile had actually faded a lot, but Jiang Yue's longing for his mother deep in his heart had never been put aside.
Turning to the second half of the album, Jiang Yue discovered that the photos at the back were no longer photos of people, but some photos of landscapes.
To be precise, they are not actually landscape photos.
It's more like a geological survey or something like that.
These photos record some places and some areas.
Jiang Yue quickly judged from two of the photos that these locations were probably related to his mother's disappearance.
There are even photos of the scene where my mother disappeared.
However, the disappearance of the archaeological team at that time was so strange that from the photos taken afterwards, nothing unusual could be seen at all.
These photos were developed by my father. He must have studied them over and over again. I don’t know how many times I have seen them, so that the photos were obviously over-touched, and some places were even a bit blurry.
However, Jiang Yue guessed that his father should have kept electronic files of these photos. With his father's steady style of doing things, he must have archived them.
It can be seen that my father has traveled and explored many places over the years. From the various details shown in the photos, it can be seen that my father has indeed put in a lot of effort in finding his mother.
As a child, when I see these details, my heart cannot help but be moved.
There is no doubt that the one who has suffered the most in these years since their mother disappeared may not be their siblings, but their father.
While the father was suffering from the pain of losing his wife, he raised their siblings as both father and mother.
Maybe this thick diary records my father's thoughts over the years? Maybe there will be more clues in the diary?
