Rong Yan walked into the living room and saw the breakfast on the table.
I don't know when my mother-in-law arrived.
Han Yue stuck a sticky note on the table, filled with instructions, which warmed Rong Yan's heart.
Fu Jingsheng drank the hangover soup his mother made, ate a few mouthfuls of porridge, and then went to the company.
Rong Yan had no work scheduled for the morning, and she leisurely enjoyed her breakfast until she received a call from Rong Bing.
Airport.
As soon as Rong Bing landed, she reported to Rong Yan that she was safe and sound and had arrived in Tiancheng.
Since her grandmother and mother passed away, Rong Bing has not lived in the Rong family's old house. Her father went out to work, and the old house has been left empty.
On her way back, Rong Bing thought a lot. Initially, she planned to stay in a hotel for a few days, but the closer she got to Tiancheng, the stronger her desire to go home became.
She didn't want to rent anymore. She had a home in Tiancheng, so why shouldn't she live there?
Rong Bing finally decided to go straight home.
She called Rong Yan and told her about it over the phone.
Rong Yan asked if she wanted to be picked up from the airport, but Rong Bing said no, she had already arranged a ride.
Finally, Rongyan told her to be careful and that they would have dinner together that evening.
Lin Feng dropped Rong Bing off at Tiancheng, and only went to the train station after he saw Rong Bing get into the taxi.
The man wanted to visit Rong Bing's home, but reason told him that he couldn't make that request for the time being.
The Rong family's old residence.
The courtyard was covered with fallen leaves, neglected for a long time, and looked desolate.
Rong Bing placed two orders for house cleaning services.
She put her things in the bedroom and waited for the cleaning lady to come.
During that time, I paid my respects before the portraits of my mother and grandmother.
For a long time, she didn't dare to face those two people. If it weren't for her, they wouldn't have left.
Rong Bing sat on the dusty stool, thinking about many things.
From childhood...
Rong Bing remembered that in the beginning, she always liked to follow Rong Yan around, calling her "sister, sister." She used to be Rong Yan's little follower.
After she grew up, everyone always compared her to Rong Yan. In terms of grades and looks, Rong Bing was not as good as Rong Yan. Especially her mother, who would say that she could learn from Rong Yan whenever she did something wrong. It was probably around that time that she began to hate Rong Yan.
Lacking judgment in her youth, her relationship with Rong Yan deteriorated as the roots of jealousy grew deeper. Looking back now, she realizes how wonderful it would have been to have such an outstanding older sister.
You can live a life of luxury just by following someone's coattails.
Rong Bing smiled bitterly.
After reminiscing about the past, Rong Bing sat in the courtyard playing on her phone. In the local push notifications, she came across Fu Jingchen.
Fu Jingchen actually donated 200,000 yuan to repair the road, and Rong Bing set her to stop following such content.
The women spent an afternoon cleaning the old house.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal, but Rong Bing always felt that something was missing.
She thought for a while and thought of flowers and plants that could grow in winter.
Rong Bing went to the flower and tree market to pick out some plants; she was determined to live a good life from now on.
Rong Yan called Fu Jingsheng in the evening to tell him that she was having dinner with Rong Bing and would probably be home late.
Fu Jingsheng reminded his wife to be careful.
After not seeing her for several months, Rong Bing had gotten quite tanned, but she looked more energetic than before.
Upon seeing Rong Yan, Rong Bing smiled from the bottom of her heart. She wanted to hug her sister, but after opening her arms, she put them down again.
Seeing this, Rong Yan hugged her and said, "Long time no see."
"Long time no see, sister."
Rong Bing's tone of voice changed, becoming gentler.
She told Rong Yan that she and Lin Feng had confirmed their relationship and asked Rong Yan to visit the old house when she had time.
“Sister, that will always be your home,” Rong Bing said. “I will always stay there.”
Rong Yan didn't expect Rong Bing to say such a thing. Although she didn't like the old house, she didn't want to directly refute Rong Bing's words, so she replied perfunctorily, "Hmm."
This was the first time in several years that Rong Bing had completely opened up to everyone; she even told Rong Yan about the details of her relationship with Lin Feng.
"Rong Bing, I hope you will always be like you are today." This was Rong Yan's heartfelt blessing.
After dinner, Rong Yan took Rong Bing home. Rong Yan stood outside the door and looked inside, but did not step over the threshold.
She walked along the path outside the courtyard wall. The trees on both sides of the path revealed bare branches, and Rong Yan recalled the scene of reading under the trees when she was a child.
The woman took a deep breath and muttered to herself, "It's all in the past."
Fu Jingsheng sat in the living room waiting for his wife to return.
Rong Yan returned to Lanshan Garden only after she was tired from walking.
"You're back." Fu Jingsheng stood up and hugged his wife.
"Yes, I went back to the Rong family's old house and found that the trees outside were still there."
"You still miss it, don't you?" Fu Jingsheng asked.
"Yes, when I was little, I had a falling out with Rong Bing, and I liked to sit alone under the big tree outside and read books." Rong Yan recalled. Later, she thought it was normal for sisters to quarrel. She often heard her aunt scolding Rong Bing, blaming Rong Bing for bringing shame to the Rong family.
If she had sided with Rong Bing more back then, perhaps their relationship wouldn't have deteriorated.
“Rong Bing has always lived under my influence. I think I understand why she always wants to compete with me. It’s because her mother always compares her to me, and she wants to prove herself.” Rong Yan found the root of their bad relationship.
At the same time, Rong Bing sent a message: "Sister, I still have our photos saved in my album."
Then came several photos.
Rong Yan had forgotten that she and Rong Bing had climbed trees together, waded through mud puddles together, and sifted through the neighbor's loquat trees together...
They even sat on the same bed together and watched the stars.
"Rong Bing, it's the weekend tomorrow. I'm going back to the old house for lunch. I'd like to eat some frost-kissed greens. Can I bring Fu Yunlei and the others along?"
"Everyone come, including Aunt Han and brother-in-law." Rong Bing couldn't have been happier.
"We're going to have dinner at the Rong family's old house tomorrow. I'll send a message to Mom and the others," Rong Yan told her husband immediately.
As long as Rong Yan is willing, Fu Jingsheng will not object.
Han Yue only learned from her daughter-in-law's text message that Rong Bing had returned to Tiancheng. She called Rong Yan to ask where Rong Bing was staying.
Rong Yan chatted with her mother-in-law for a while and learned that Rong Bing had returned to the old house and had a boyfriend.
"That's great," Han Yue said with a smile.
Seeing his wife smiling, Lao Deng assumed that Fu Jingsheng had signed another big contract. He went over and said, "Did the kids close another deal? That's great."
"No, Lao Deng, we're going to the Rong family's old house for lunch tomorrow. It's where Rong Yan grew up, so it's kind of like her maternal home. All the children will be there."
"I'll send a message in the group chat, telling people to leave early tomorrow. This is supposed to be a family meal, right? I'll skip one class." Old Deng knew about Rong Bing's situation.
It seems that Rong Bing and Rong Yan have completely reconciled, so this gathering is very important.
"Um."
the next day.
Xiao Ke was assigned to help out at the old house.
Rong Bing called two chefs, and the newly added flowers in the yard also arrived, making everything vibrant and full of life.
The old house has been restored to its original appearance. In the courtyard, the sunlight shines brightly, and two round tables are placed side by side.
