Woo...
The whistle sounded loudly, and the white smoke pulled out a long line in the air. The sunlight leaked from the gaps in the zenith, drawing an irregular diamond on the stone slab on the platform.
Yao Ji was wearing shiny sheepskin boots, with khaki pants tied in the boots, and a shirt with lamb leg sleeves on her upper body.
She was holding the suitcase in her hand, and as soon as she got off the car, she felt that the eyes on the platform looked at her.
A porter carrying luggage stood by the car door. When he saw her gaze, he hurriedly held his eyes aside.She couldn't help but laugh and sighed when she wanted to see but couldn't help but look at her.
Although Luwu is a small town, it has a communication between the north and the south, and has developed commerce, and is not a closed place.
It is now the seventh year of the Republic of China, but her outfit is still eye-catching. It is far less than when she was in Shanghai when she returned to China and got off the boat. Citizens often see dressmakers, so they don’t think it’s different.
Fortunately, she didn't care about the eyes of others. She left the train station and was about to call a rickshaw. She stood alone on the side of the road from a distance, waved to her: Miss!Miss!
Uncle Zhong?
The man was a man with a dark face, as if he was a little afraid to recognize her. After a moment of silence, he jogged over: Miss, the master taught me to come and pick you up. Thank you for your hard work on the way.
As he said that, he snatched the suitcase from Yao Ji and led her to Chevrolet across the street.
The car also went with Yao Ji, attracting people's attention everywhere. Uncle Zhong scratched his head embarrassedly: The master and the wife are back, the eldest lady still recognizes the younger one, right?The little one didn't recognize you just now.
Yao Ji sat in the back seat and smiled faintly when she heard this: You are getting more and more energetic, are you okay in the capital?
OK, okay, the master and the wife are very good, and the young master, too...
The two of them were talking nonsense, but Yao Ji was worried about something in her heart.This time she returned to China because her family sent her a telegram saying that her grandmother was sick.
The old man was sick when he was old. She was studying abroad and could not have traveled abroad to return to China every time.
But this time he said he was a little sick, so Yao Ji rushed back just now, and then heard Uncle Zhong say that Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi were both back, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
The Qi family is a large family and its ancestral home is in Luwu City, but most of the people in the family live in the capital.However, Yao Ji was raised by her grandmother when she was young, and grew up in her ancestral home. She has a lot of feelings for this small town.
When the car drove by, the scenery along the way was still the old scenery, and there were many differences.
When I arrived at Qi's house, the car drove straight into the yard.
The original bluestone slab had been replaced by Shuimen Ting. Zhang Po in the old lady's yard was guarding the door. When she saw Yao Ji get out of the car, she hurriedly came up. Her wrinkled face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
Grandma is okay?Yao Ji didn't bother to say hello to her.
What's the good thing? Zhang Po handed her suitcase to the little maid behind her. The eldest lady followed the servant to change her clothes first, and there was a banquet for the Lu family tonight.
Let’s not be busy for now, I’ll go see the grandma.
Oh, the master is waiting for you, and Mrs. Zhang hurriedly grabbed her. The old lady took the medicine and was asleep. You just came back, why don’t you go to pay tribute to the master first?
Yao Ji paused and then stopped: It's okay, but the clothes are...
You're wearing this outfit...?
Zhang Po didn't finish her words, but Yao Ji understood what she meant, and she didn't think she would catch Master Qi's eyes.
After sighing, she had to say: OK, change.
This change took almost half an hour.
The old cheongsam with silver red flowers tied her waist, and the maids put a whole set of Nanzhu's heads on her. Yao Ji hadn't had such cumbersome makeup for a long time. She felt uncomfortable sitting on the stool. Thinking of the time she was in her ancestral home, she couldn't help but feel more depressed.
This is exactly why she is unwilling to return to China, or rather, she just wants to see her grandmother and is not very happy to deal with her parents.
She has always been regarded as the most rebellious child in her family, and because Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi have been in the capital, they are not close to each other.
Therefore, when we met and greeted each other, the three of them felt a little embarrassed. Mr. Qi coughed: You are too old, and your Uncle Lu family will welcome your father tonight, so you can go together.
The Lu family and the Qi family are family friends, and they are also the Luwu clan.
Their ancestral home is not far from Youhe River. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. You can see a large complex of buildings from afar. White walls and black tiles are typical Jiangnan buildings, hidden in the afterglow, as if they exudes a deep dusk atmosphere.
Yao Ji rarely comes here. The Lu family often lives in Beijing and Shanghai, and only Mr. Lu lives in his ancestral home.
It was the one who invited him tonight. During the banquet, Yao Ji always felt uncomfortable.
It was probably because she had not lived in such an environment surrounded by maids for a long time. There were only four people present, and there were about ten servants serving the Hou.
Everyone was always paying attention to the master's instructions. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Yao Ji felt that they all seemed to be looking at her.
Nannan.Mr. Lu called her nickname affectionately. Yao Ji was stunned and quickly woke up from the sudden realization. The old man raised the wine cup to her. This glass, grandpa, toasted you, and I will trouble you from now on.
I should respect you.She hurriedly stood up and respectfully drank the wine in the glass, without ignoring the old man's words. Is it troublesome?What's up to you?
She was not easy to ask, and her doubts became deeper and deeper.
Before going to the banquet, she went to see her grandmother. The old lady was already a little confused and said something unscrupulous.
But she is nearly 90 years old, which is inevitable. Her family specially sent a telegram to call her back. Is it really because the old man is seriously ill?
Somehow, Yao Ji always felt uneasy.
After finding an excuse to breathe, she stepped down early.
When I left the house, the strangeness that made people feel uncomfortable disappeared. In the sky, the bright moon was framed in a square shape by the courtyard. The faint fragrance of crabapple flowers floated in the wind, as if even that kind of depression was washed away.
After breathing a long breath, Yao Ji decided to go back to the house.Maybe she was thinking too much, she said to herself that she was her biological parents after all, so she wouldn't have lie to her.
Just as they were about to walk back, two maids came over in the corridor with food boxes.The two of them walked and discussed: Hey, did you see the lady who came tonight?What a handsome person.
It was Ah, and her companions sighed, that is the eldest young master’s grandmother in the future, do you think the eldest young master knows it?
How do I know? The maid seemed to have sneered. If you are curious, go and ask the young master.
Oh, that old man must not break my leg.
As they said that, the two of them started to laugh and the sound of the playfulness went far away, leaving Yao Ji standing there, as if she was stunned.
Big Young Grandma?!Why didn't she know she was going to get married?
The whistle sounded loudly, and the white smoke pulled out a long line in the air. The sunlight leaked from the gaps in the zenith, drawing an irregular diamond on the stone slab on the platform.
