Qi Yao originally thought that tomorrow's graduation party would be very awkward.
But when he thought about his senior student coming, his mood suddenly brightened: "Yes! I will definitely have a good chat with her tomorrow, especially about studying. I want to learn more from her!"
Qi Zheng was overjoyed: "Let's go! We've been reading for so long, let's go for a walk outside and relax our eyes!"
Qi Yao accompanied his grandfather around Lan Palace.
As the communication deepened, Qi Yao finally understood that Lan Palace was not only his grandmother's dowry, but also a reward from the country!
His grandmother's name was Yao Jinlan. 90 years ago, his grandmother was not yet born, but China was in dire straits at that time. The Yao family spent all their wealth to buy cotton clothes, donate military funds, and even donated several airplanes, just to drive the Japanese out of China!
The Yao family has many heroes and countless heroic deeds.
Back then, it was in this old Yanglou that the Yao family rescued many soldiers who defended their country.
Later, the descendants of the Yao family were displaced and almost starved to death. The leaders at that time allocated this house to the Yao family. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this old villa was registered under the name of the Yao family and was not taken back.
Later, Yao Jinlan was the only daughter left in the Yao family, so the elders of the Yao family simply renamed this place Lan Palace and used it as Yao Jinlan's dowry.
Qi Yao was stunned and blurted out: "So, Grandpa, you are a son-in-law? That's why you live in your wife's house?"
Qi Zheng's face darkened: "Nonsense!"
He was worried about scaring his grandson, so he quickly softened his tone: "Your grandfather is a third-generation red. My grandfather died on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, and my father died on the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. When I was a child, the house we lived in was guarded by sentries.
I was also born into a military family, and later switched to business.
Your grandmother and I were in a free love relationship. At that time, I was an orphan of a martyr and was adopted by the Yao family. After I joined the army, your grandmother wrote to me, crying every day and saying that she missed me. So I retired and came back, but I didn’t live here after I came back. Instead, I worked hard outside until I made some achievements. Then I came to see your grandmother with a betrothal gift.
But I don’t have parents, so my father-in-law and mother-in-law are my parents, and they don’t want their daughter to marry out, so we have lived here since we got married.”
Qi Zheng walked towards a ginkgo tree and gently touched the trunk with his hand.
The chirping of cicadas in the mountains is endless.
The lingering breeze tells many stories of the past.
Qi Zheng's eyes were slightly warm. "This is what I planted when I was a child with your grandmother, my father-in-law and my mother-in-law. My father was my father-in-law's old squad leader and old comrade-in-arms. Although I didn't have parents in the first half of my life, I lived a very happy life."
Qi Yao stood beside his grandfather.
Although his grandfather was smiling, he could feel the sadness in his heart.
Grandpa must have been very regretful and sad about what happened between grandma and uncle back then.
Especially since grandpa has lived here for the rest of his life, and he has to face the kindness of his adoptive parents, as well as his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so it must be even more painful, right?
But no one expected a natural disaster like an earthquake.
The sadness of losing his wife and son did not stop my grandfather from finding another girlfriend.
Qi Yao looked at the tall ginkgo tree and couldn't help but think -
If he has a childhood sweetheart and he deeply loves his wife, and she dies indirectly because of his own faults, will he still find another girlfriend?
He doesn't know what he will become in the future.
But at least for now, the answer must be no.
The stars set and the day rises.
A fresh breeze mixed with a ray of golden light blew open the pearlescent lace veil.
Yu Wanqiao turned over in the quilt, her long black hair spreading out on the pillow like an ink painting. Her small face with bright eyes and white teeth was only the size of a palm. She was pink and tender, curled up softly in the quilt, staring at the ceiling with clear eyes for a while.
Suddenly I remembered what my father said today, that there is an important social event and I must not miss it!
She quickly got up, washed, changed into a dress, and sat obediently in front of the mirror waiting. Soon a stylist came over to do her makeup and hair.
After everything was done, she went downstairs holding up her skirt.
Meng Weiwei and Yu Yuhan have just finished their styling.
Seeing Yu Wanqiao's stunning appearance, I couldn't help but feel panic!
Meng Weiwei glanced at her daughter and questioned her with her eyes: Didn’t you say that your aunt would not go?
This sister-in-law looks like a foxy girl.
If she goes, what will happen to her daughter?
Yu Yuhan was also confused, and even felt angry that Yu Wanqiao had played a trick on her. "Aunt, didn't you say you wouldn't be going to the graduation banquet today?"
After all, you are still too young.
The questioning tone in her voice betrayed her inner feelings.
Yu Wanqiao's clear eyes were a little dull, her beautiful brows were slightly furrowed, and she didn't say anything, just looked at Yu Yuhan with a dignified look.
Yu Yuhan's aura is definitely different from that of Yu Wanqiao, who was raised in a large family since childhood.
She gradually lost the fight during the eye contact and hid behind Meng Weiwei in fear.
Meng Weiwei's greatest skill in life is her adaptability. She smiled and said, "Wanqiao, Yuhan is young and can't speak, but she doesn't mean any harm. She just feels that something we agreed on before has changed now..."
Yu Wanqiao hated Meng Weiwei's humble and pretentious attitude the most.
Compared with her former sister-in-law, Meng Weiwei is just dirt on the ground, and only a blind man like her eldest brother would be interested in her!
Yu Wanqiao walked past the mother and daughter and went straight to her father. "I'm not going to any graduation banquet. Dad and I have other social engagements."
