reunion
Du Lin hasn't seen Uncle Feng for a long time since the Du family moved out of Feng Yun's house.
When I came to Jianglin for the competition, I contacted Uncle Feng and learned that he was also in Jianglin, so it was natural for me to pay him a visit.
Shi Shi had to go to work during the day, so Du Lin made the invitation at the right time in the evening.
The two of them set out to pick up Shi Shi from the company to have dinner together. While waiting for the elevator, they saw Qin Yichuan who just got on the elevator.
"Uncle Feng, good evening. Du Lin, you are here too." Qin Yichuan was holding a big bag of vegetables in his hand.
"Hey, you're back. Do you want to go to dinner together? Including Shi Shi, there will be four of us."
Qin Yichuan did not refuse. After putting the vegetables in the refrigerator, he followed Du Lin and the others to the garage.
"Just drive my car." Qin Yichuan suggested. There were only four of them, and one car could accommodate them.
Shi Shi didn't know in advance that Qin Yichuan was also having dinner with them. When she received the first text message, Feng Yun and Du Lin had not met Qin Yichuan yet.
When she got off work, she felt strange when she saw the familiar Qin Yichuan's car at the company gate.
The two car windows on her side slid down, revealing three people inside.
"Hurry up and get in the car." Qin Yichuan got out of the car, opened the passenger door for her and greeted her.
A group of four drove to the restaurant they had booked.
Coincidentally, this restaurant was where Shi Shi and Qin Yichuan had eaten when it first opened.
"I heard you're here to compete today," Shi Shi asked casually. She'd heard that Du Lin had been competing in various events over the past few years, and she hadn't really paid much attention. Shi Shi had heard that athletes' careers were often short. In her previous life, when she'd known Du Lin, he and Du Qiming had taken over Feng Yun's company, and she hadn't heard of his previous experience as an athlete. "Training every day must be tough. Come and eat some more food."
"Thank you. I'm used to it. It doesn't feel tiring. The competition was yesterday. I left an extra day on purpose." Du Lin has a big appetite now, but he's a little embarrassed, so he eats slowly. "When you come back after the New Year, remember to contact me. Do you still remember that delicious noodle shop we went to?"
"Of course I remember." Qin Yichuan loved to go there before he went abroad, and he immediately remembered it when he heard Du Lin mention it.
"The old street was demolished last year, but I found their reopened restaurant. Let's go eat there together next time."
Shi Shi also remembered the noodle shop and the street.
"Dad, what about your house?" Shi Shi asked curiously, thinking of the house Feng Yun had bought earlier, which was also nearby. She remembered that it seemed that the surrounding area was indeed about to be demolished during this period.
"I heard it's going to be demolished soon," Feng Yun said. But he wasn't particularly happy. The familiar things around him were disappearing in various ways. Even though he had barely lived in that house, he still felt reluctant to leave.
Some things cannot be retained by time and memories will become blurred. What he fears most in his life is this irreversible loss.
The time is almost here and the Chinese New Year is approaching.
When Du Lin was buying New Year's goods for his family, he thought of Uncle Feng and took some things to visit him.
Because Uncle Feng just came back from Jianglin a few days ago, and there are so many people in the market every day, he helped buy some, so that Uncle Feng didn't have to squeeze with the crowd.
It was Shi Shi who opened the door. She seemed to have just woken up.
Du Lin was stunned for a moment and greeted her.
"Did I wake you up?"
"No, I woke up early, but I was just too lazy to get up." She was bored to death every day since she didn't have to go to work. But when she returned to the Qin family tomorrow, she couldn't sit still anymore, because there were little brats pestering her.
"My dad went out to buy something." Shi Shi invited him in and poured him a glass of water.
"I'm just delivering something." Du Lin looked a little nervous and unnatural.
After all, the two were not very familiar with each other, and they had not contacted each other since Shi Shi went to Jianglin. So when Du Lin said he was leaving, Shi Shi did not keep him.
Qin Yichuan, who came back on the same day as Shi Shi, was also at home with nothing to do. After thinking about it, he went to the next door and knocked on the door.
Because the events in the dream had somewhat affected him, he did not go looking for Zeng Mu the first time he knew he had returned.
"Yichuan is here, Mumu is in the room upstairs." Ma Aili's temper has been much better in recent years than in the early years, so Qin Yichuan is not so afraid when he sees her.
"Hello, Auntie. I'll go find him then." Qin Yichuan went upstairs as if he was familiar with the place, but when he passed by the kitchen, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of another person inside.
"I'm coming in." Qin Yichuan knocked on the door politely and pushed it open without waiting for a response.
Zeng Mu was sitting on the single sofa by the window reading a book.
"What's going on? Was that man I just saw your dad? Did they rekindle their old love?" Qin Yichuan sat down opposite him and asked impatiently with a gossipy look on his face.
"I don't know." Zeng Mu's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care at all. He really didn't know, but his father seemed to have been living here for the past few days since he came back.
"I think they look alike. Maybe there will be good news soon." Qin Yichuan felt that Zeng Mu would be happy if his parents remarried.
Good news? Zeng Mu recalled the conversation he vaguely overheard last night.
It seemed that his father had mentioned remarriage, but his mother had refused at the time. He didn't listen to the rest of the conversation.
In short, two families.
Everyone was gathered for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Shi Shi also contributed to the New Year's Eve dinner, and the family had a happy and lively meal.
Then Shi Shi was driven upstairs. Shi Yiqing and Qin Lang told her that they could clean up. Shi Shi was chatting with someone on her phone and checking the time from time to time until she received a message from Du Lin.
-Uncle Feng said he was going home.
Shi Shi thought about it, stood up, put on her down jacket, hat and scarf, and went downstairs.
"Where are you going?" When Shi Yiqing heard the noise and stuck her head out, Shi Shidu was already at the entrance.
"Uncle Qin, please lend me your car. I'm going to deliver something." Shi Shi picked up the car keys and walked out without waiting for a response.
Qin Yichuan and Qin Yifan were originally playing with firecrackers and fairy wands in the front yard. Qin Yifan was not brave enough to play at first, but after Qin Yichuan accompanied him a few times, he had a lot of fun playing by himself.
"Stop playing. Look, your nose is running because of the cold." Shi Shi's words were very effective for Qin Yifan. He always behaved well and obediently in front of Shi Shi.
He took out a tissue from his pocket, wiped the child's nose, touched his cold hands, and immediately sent him home.
After watching Qin Yifan go in, Shi Shi picked up the unused firecrackers on the side and put them in her pocket. Then, under Qin Yichuan's gaze, she walked to the express box next to Qin Yichuan and took out an unopened box from it, which looked a bit like fireworks.
Qin Lang's car did not enter the garage, but stopped at the door. Qin Yichuan watched Shi Shi move the box to the trunk.
"It's so late, you still want to go out?" Qin Yichuan asked her.
"I'm going to deliver the goods." After Shi Shi said this, he got in the car, started the car and drove away.
On the other side of the city, Feng Yun shivered unconsciously when he got out of the car and felt the cold air.
He heard the sound of car tires rolling over the ground behind him. He turned around and saw that the car had stopped.
Then Shi Shi stuck her head out and waved at him.
"Happy New Year, Dad."
"Happy New Year."
