Chapter 252

The memories of the seven people who traveled back to the Republic of China from the modern era have a beautifying effect and a self-protection mechanism. They are better at forgetting a person's badness than remembering a person's goodness.

A person does not expect to get any feelings from a stranger, so when a stranger shows kindness, this unexpected surprise often makes people happy.

But it is difficult for people not to have expectations for their loved ones.

- Even if they know that their loved ones have always been bad to them.

Perhaps it is precisely because their loved ones treat them badly, but not so bad that they can completely cut off all thoughts, that they will be more eager to get it because they can't get it.

When this expectation is not met, or even used by loved ones, they will feel hurt, and even feel a little pain of being betrayed by their loved ones from the bottom of their hearts.

If the person who hurts you is a friend or lover, you may take the initiative to stay away from them after being hurt a few times.

But the separation from family affection and the separation from the original family is a proposition that can last a lifetime.

Yao Rong said this to Ye Heqi because she knew that when Ye Heqi grows up a year or two, when Ye Heqi reaches the age of marriage, the conflict between her and Old Madam Ye will inevitably intensify.

Compared with the conflict that is bound to happen, this is a trivial matter now.

"Don't hate, don't beautify..."

Ye Heqi repeated Yao Rong's words, struggled out of her arms, and looked up at her.

"Mom, have you ever hated Old Madam Ye and Ye Fuguang?"

Yao Rong walked over to light the kerosene lamp.

The light dispelled the darkness in the house, and Yao Rong extinguished the match she had used to ignite the fire. She did not answer the question directly, but asked Ye Heqi a question first: "Do you think I should hate them?"

Ye Heqi thought about it and shook his head: "I don't know. But if I were you, I would at least blame them."

Yao Rong chuckled, took out the things she bought today, and answered Ye Heqi's question while sorting them out: "You are right, I definitely have complaints, but I have never hated them."

Ye Heqi raised his head and listened carefully to Yao Rong's words.

"If the Ye family

hadn't taken me in, I would have been left with nowhere to go, and I wouldn't have been able to live a peaceful life for the past twenty years." "Over the years, the Ye family has never lacked food and clothing for me, and they also give me some monthly allowance. In this regard, the Ye family has been very kind to me."

In this chaotic world, it is so difficult to find a stable place to live.

The Ye family provided the original body with what she needed most.

"But I have never forgotten what Madam Ye and Ye Fuguang did, and the harm these things have caused me."

These words are what the original body thought in her heart.

Her father squandered the family business, her mother died of illness, her uncle drove her away...

The original body went through hardships to come to the Ye family, and she didn't even dare to expect the Ye family to recognize this marriage. She only hoped that the Ye family would give her some protection because of their past friendship.

So when Master Ye took her in and insisted that Ye Fuguang marry her, the original body was very excited.

This excitement was not because she liked Ye Fuguang, but simply because after marrying Ye Fuguang, she could stay in the Ye Mansion more legitimately.

However, things are unpredictable, and the series of events that happened later were far beyond the original body's expectations.

Seeing that Yao Rong seemed to be lost in her memories, Ye Heqi hurriedly walked to Yao Rong and helped her organize the newspapers and books: "So what mother said to me was a summary of her own life experience, right?"

Yao Rong came back to her senses, handed the things in her hand to Ye Heqi, and asked her to put them away: "I haven't read many books, and I don't know any big principles, but I have lived in the Ye Mansion for so many years, and I have also figured out a lot of life experience."

Ye Heqi said: "There is a word called inner beauty, which describes your situation, mother."

Yao Rong smiled and changed the subject: "Heqi, mother discovered something."

"What is it?" Ye Heqi didn't even turn his head, standing in front of the desk to adjust the order of the books.

Yao Rong had a gentle smile on her face: "You've been praising me these days. No matter what I did or said, you always found something to praise me."

Ye Heqi paused and quickly covered up: "Because I'm a teacher now, of course a teacher will praise students when they do well."

And she also wanted to slowly build up her mother's self-confidence in this way.

Yao Rong shook her head and asked Ye Heqi: "Then you praise me because you think I'm a good student, right?"

Ye Heqi turned around and looked at Yao Rong, not knowing why Yao Rong suddenly asked this question. After hesitating for a while, he nodded.

"But I was only a student for a few days. I have been a mother for fourteen years."

Ye Heqi was stunned at first, and it took her a long time to realize what Yao Rong meant. She quickly added, "Mom, you have always been a good mother."

It's just...

when her mother was a mother and she was a daughter, she had long been accustomed to her mother's usual care and her various behaviors.

So she never thought of praising her mother for these commonplace things.

When she jumped out of the relationship framework of mother and daughter and looked at her mother in another identity, she could appreciate the advantages of her mother.

Yao Rong put her hands behind her back and slowly approached Ye Heqi.

When she got close, Yao Rong took out the things she had hidden behind her.

It was a pink fountain pen with an exquisite design.

Yao Rong's eyes curved slightly: "You gave me a box of vanishing cream today. As a good mother, of course I have to prepare a gift for you. Your fountain pen has been used for several years, and the ink is not flowing smoothly, so I picked this fountain pen in the bookstore."

Ye Heqi ignored the topic just now and said in surprise: "Mom, when did you buy it? I didn't even notice it."

"While you were picking books at the back of the bookshelf."

Ye Heqi took the fountain pen, uncapped the pen and looked at the exquisitely crafted fountain pen head: "This one looks very expensive."

Yao Rong said: "As long as you like it."

It's not a waste of money to buy something that is often used.

After all, a fountain pen can be used for several years.

It was already late, and seeing that Ye Heqi's mood had almost recovered and she was now playing with a pen with great interest, Yao Rong did not stay any longer. She told her to go to bed early and went back to the house with the things she bought today.

After taking a bath, Yao Rong sat in front of the dressing table and applied lotion on her face, neck and hands.

After applying it, Yao Rong held the wooden comb and combed her hair a hundred times in a row before lying down to rest.

It was evening again, and even though they had just had an unpleasant incident, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi still came to Old Lady Ye's yard according to the rules.

During the meal, Ye Fuguang suddenly said, "I asked the housekeeper to buy a ticket back to Shanghai today, and I will leave tomorrow morning."

It was more like notifying everyone than discussing with them.

Yao Rong glanced at the expressions of Old Madam Ye and Madam Ye, knowing that Ye Fuguang had informed them in advance. This sentence was obviously addressed to her and Ye Heqi.

Yao Rong put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and imitated Ye Fuguang's tone and said, "Heqi and I will go to the train station to see you off."

As soon as this was said, everyone looked over.

This kind of thing had happened many times in the past, but this was the first time Yao Rong said she would go to the train station to see Ye Fuguang off.

Ye Fuguang refused out loud: "There is no need to trouble you and Heqi to make this extra trip. It is enough for me to have the housekeeper to take me there."

Yao Rong said calmly: "Don't need it, or don't want to? Please explain it clearly."

Ye Fuguang frowned and scolded: "Don't be unreasonable."

Yao Rong looked at him: "You don't know when you will be back after you leave. I am a wife and Heqi is a daughter. Is it unreasonable for me to want to see you off?"

Ye Fuguang was scolded. As a cultured man, he could not say such rude words. He could only think in his heart: Why is Yao Rong becoming more and more rude?

Ye Heqi bit his chopsticks, his eyes lit up: Her mother is so handsome, and a scumbag like Ye Fuguang deserves to be scolded!

Old Madam Ye put down her bowl and chopsticks heavily, and said unhappily: "Enough, is such a small matter worth quarreling in front of the children? If you want to go, go ahead, and come back with the housekeeper after you send him off. I don't know what it's like to run outside every day."

This matter was settled.

After dinner, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi walked out together. Ye Heqi whispered to Yao Rong: "Mother, why do you suddenly want to send him off?"

Yao Rong said in the same voice: "Sending him off is just an excuse. I want to take the opportunity to take you out for a walk again, and we can also go to the train station to take a look."

She took this opportunity to go to the train station to check out the situation and inquire about the ticket prices from Peking to other cities to prepare for the next move.

***

The train station in Peking is very crowded.

When Yao Rong and his group got off the rickshaw, they saw a large crowd of people.

During the whole journey, Yao Rong and Ye Fuguang did not say a word until this moment, when Ye Fuguang spoke: "Just send her here. The housekeeper and I will go in."

Ye Heqi looked at Yao Rong, waiting for Yao Rong to make a decision.

Yao Rong said: "We will send you in. If we get separated by accident, we will meet at the entrance of the train station."

Ye Fuguang: "..."

After suffering a few losses in the past, Ye Fuguang decided not to pester her anymore. Yao Rong can go in if she wants to.

Yao Rong turned her head to look at Ye Heqi and winked at her: "Heqi, remember to hold your mother's hand tightly. You are young and you can't get separated from me."

Ye Heqi understood and also blinked: "Mom, I know."

After entering the train station, Ye Fuguang could still see the figures of Yao Rong and Ye Heqi at first, but soon he could no longer see them.

The housekeeper was anxious to find someone, and Ye Fuguang said in a bad temper: "Could they be lost? The train is about to leave. After I get on the train, you go to the door and wait for them."

On the other side, Yao Rong pulled Ye Heqi to the corner of the train station.

"Mom, why are we running?" Ye Heqi asked.

Yao Rong said: "I don't know why we have to run. I just thought that it's a rare trip and I don't want to be stared at again."

"Besides, don't you want to walk around the train station?" Yao Rong tiptoed, looking around with some fear and curiosity.

Ye Heqi was slightly stunned.

Since she recovered her memory, she has never thought of escaping from the Ye Mansion by running away.

But...

if the three-month period is over, and her great-grandmother still forces her to do things she doesn't like, what should she do?

Just like her mother said, she should be mentally prepared that her great-grandmother will do worse things.

If she hadn't come to the train station, it would have been fine. But now that she had come to the train station and there were no servants from the Ye Mansion watching her, could she try to do something?

Ye Heqi pursed her dry lips, swallowed hard, raised her head abruptly, and a light light shone in her eyes: "Mother, I want to find out something, you come with me, let's not make it public."

Yao Rong smiled in her heart, but nodded on her face, holding Ye Heqi more tightly: "Okay, when we are outside, mother will listen to you."

Ye Heqi took Yao Rong to the ticket office first, and looked at the extremely long ticket-buying line, and Ye Heqi had a headache.

How long will it take for her to get her turn?

If she and her mother disappeared for too long, after returning home, the housekeeper would definitely complain to her great-grandmother.

Just when Ye Heqi was having a headache, a short young man wearing a melon-shaped hat walked up to Yao Rong with his hands in his pockets: "Madam, do you want to buy a ticket?"

Yao Rong looked at him warily and stood in front of Ye Heqi: "Why are you asking this?"

Seeing this, the young man took a step back and indicated that he had no ill intentions: "I can buy a ticket for you, madam. The price is a few cents more expensive than the ticket office, but at least you don't have to spend time queuing up." Before

Yao Rong said anything, Ye Heqi's eyes lit up.

Isn't this a scalper?

I didn't expect that there was already a profession called scalpers in the Republic of China.

"We don't buy tickets, but I'll give you fifty cents and ask you something, what do you think?" Ye Heqi handed over the fifty cents.

The scalper immediately took it and put it into his sleeve: "Okay, Miss, you can ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

Ye Heqi asked him about the train fares from Peking to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing and other major cities, how often these trains run, at what specific times they depart, and how long it takes for the trains to reach these places.

Huang Niu is indeed a man in this business. Ye Heqi asked so many detailed questions, but he was able to basically answer them. There were only a few questions that he couldn't remember clearly.

It took less than ten minutes for Ye Heqi to understand the general situation: "Okay, I don't have any questions."

After Huang Niu left, Ye Heqi turned to look at Yao Rong and smiled awkwardly: "...Mom."

Yao Rong frowned and looked at her: "Why are you asking this?"

Ye Heqi said: "I have never been away from home, so I am a little curious."

She couldn't tell her mother about some of the plans in her mind for the time being, so she could only perfunctorily get by.

Yao Rong was helpless: "Okay, if you don't want to talk, don't talk. Do you have anything else to ask? If not, let's go to the train station entrance and wait for the butler."

Finally, he was fooled. Ye Heqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head and said, "I don't have anything else to ask."

[Tsk tsk.] The system looked at this scene and sighed, [Host, you acted really well.]

And "Why are you asking about this?" Ye Heqi suddenly thought of asking about this matter. Wasn't it because its host deliberately created the opportunity and deliberately guided him?

When the butler rushed out of the train station, he saw Ye Heqi standing at the entrance eating Tanghulu, and Yao Rong behind Ye Heqi.

The butler's eyes stayed on the Tanghulu for a while.

He had eaten most of the candied haws, with only the last one left. Apparently, the lady and the young lady had been waiting for him here for quite some time.

The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Madam, young lady, you scared me to death."

Yao Rong smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect it to be so crowded in there. After Heqi and I got separated from you, we tried to look for you, but in the end, we saw that there were too many people, so we went out to wait for you."

She didn't even ask about Ye Fuguang's situation, and urged the housekeeper to call a rickshaw.

The housekeeper sighed, but he couldn't say anything more about the master and the lady, so he called a rickshaw as Yao Rong asked.
