The next day, Song Rongrong took Ying Suqi to school.
I drove to the hospital again.
She had arranged with Song Yingying before she came that they would pick her up and take her back to the courtyard house together, and then stay at home for lunch. It was a rare occasion that both of them had the day off.
But as soon as we arrived at the ward, before we even opened the door, we heard Grandpa Song's voice inside.
The old man was full of energy and gave a good shout in the ward. Song Xinfu and the others kept this a secret from them. If it weren't for Lao Wu letting it slip, Grandpa and Grandma Song would still be unaware.
After Grandpa Song finished speaking, Grandma Song started nagging again.
Song Rongrong pulled Song Yingying to stand outside the ward.
A glance was exchanged.
Wait, let's go in after Grandpa and Grandma calm down.
After a while, Song Rongrong and her sister finally entered the house.
Song Xinfu coughed lightly, "Rongrong and Yingying are here."
Xu Guiying then coughed as well, "The things are all packed, let's go."
When Grandpa and Grandma Song saw their two granddaughters come in, their expressions softened, and they said with a smile, "Let's go home."
Song Rongrong drove a large vehicle today, and put everyone inside.
When they arrived at the courtyard house, Xu Songyuan was cooking in the kitchen. Upon seeing them return, he said to Song Xinfu, who was in a wheelchair, "He'll be fine after some rest."
More than ten years ago, Song Xinfu injured his foot because of Yu Fang's incident. After so much time has passed, he has injured his leg again. A person can't live without two legs, so he needs to take good care of himself.
Xu Songyuan has not remarried all these years. In 2008, he met a middle-aged woman, but they broke up due to personality clashes.
Xu Songyuan is already this old, he has seen through everything, and he doesn't need to remarry.
After a hundred years, Phoenix Pavilion will be handed over to a few smaller businesses. We'll choose someone quick-witted, reliable, and dependable. As for how the businesses will be divided up then, that's a matter for later.
After dinner, the family sat in the courtyard. Xu Guiying asked Song Rongrong to call Wang Ya and Chen Zhou, and to come over for dinner after get off work.
Yan Yan and Lele are also working in the capital now, but the siblings are busy with work. You have to make an appointment with them two or three days in advance and arrange your work schedule. You can't call them at the last minute today.
The eldest, third, and fifth sons have been incredibly envious these past few years. Every time they come to the courtyard house, they have to sneak around. They can't even openly go home.
Today, Song Jianmin drove Chen Zhou and Song Mingzhou here.
Song Rongrong stood at the door and saw Song Jianmin in the car, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Chen Zhou happened to see it.
Chen Zhou winked at Song Rongrong and whispered, "What did Song Jianmin do to you again?"
Song Rongrong snorted coldly, "You deserve a beating in your dreams."
Chen Zhou almost burst out laughing.
Song Jianmin heard him, and he stuck his head out of the passenger window to ask Song Rongrong:
"Song Rongrong, what are you doing?"
Song Rongrong raised an eyebrow. "Why do you care what I do?"
The scenes from my dream are still vivid in my mind.
When Song Rongrong saw Song Yingying this morning, she almost couldn't hold back her emotions. In her dream, just as Xu Guiying was about to disappear, she heard several people arguing outside. In a fit of anger, Song Guomin revealed Ruyu's true identity.
The nurses and patients in the corridor all glanced at them several times.
Song Rongrong never expected it to be like this...
Song Yingying's tragic fate was caused by Zhang Qingli!
Song Rongrong had no problem with Chen Zhou, but she had problems with her brothers. In her dream, she wasn't a good person either. Song Rongrong complained about everyone and everyone.
After thinking it over, Song Rongrong decided not to say anything more.
She and Chen Zhou entered the alley together and returned to the courtyard house.
Song Jianmin stroked his chin, sensing that something was amiss.
What is Song Rongrong up to now?
In the evening, the whole family sat in the courtyard. Song Liyun and Song Mingzhou were a lively pair. The twins had returned from studying abroad two years ago. They rented a house near the company and would come back to the courtyard every weekend. If they had more free time during the week, they would also come back.
After dinner, Song Rongrong didn't want to go back tonight, and Ying Suqi had already brought his schoolbag, so he didn't need to go back either.
Xu Guiying looked at her with a teasing expression, "If you don't want to go back, then don't. You can stay at home all the time."
Song Rongrong held Xu Guiying's hand. As soon as she thought of Xu Guiying's appearance in her dream, all her shyness and awkwardness vanished in an instant.
Ying Suqi rarely saw Song Rongrong like this. He had no opinion on where she lived, since his grandparents had extra rooms at home anyway.
Song Rongrong and the others kept talking in the courtyard. Several times she wanted to speak but stopped herself, holding back her words. She wanted to speak but didn't know how to say it. The words were stuck in her throat, so she decided to give up.
But she can't help but reminisce about the 1980s.
Suddenly, Mom disapproved of the relationship between Fifth Brother and Zhang Qingli. That day, she rushed to the fields behind the house in a great hurry...
Song Rongrong always suspected that her mother actually knew about that other world.
Like her... was it a dream?
Song Rongrong didn't know.
Xu Guiying patted Song Rongrong's hand and led her to her room.
Song Rongrong and Song Yingying both had rooms reserved in the courtyard.
"Speak up, what's wrong now?"
Song Rongrong was now even more at a loss for words.
"Mom, what are you saying? I don't understand..."
Xu Guiying narrowed her eyes slightly, "You think that just because you're old, I don't know what you're thinking? Whether you're fifty or sixty years old, you're still my child."
Song Rongrong pursed her lips and made up her mind.
"Mom, it's really nothing. I just miss you guys a little. Dad's accident was so scary."
Anyway, what difference would it make if I told her? It would probably just make my mom worry.
That's settled then.
Only she knew about this.
She will confront her mother when the truth can no longer be hidden.
Since that's the case, Xu Guiying stopped asking her. She looked thoughtful and said, "If there's anything you can't handle yourself, just tell me."
Song Rongrong laughed, her expression unusually youthful, like someone in their early twenties.
"Mom, I understand."
Xu Guiying smiled slowly.
Song Rongrong is now in her early forties, but she looks much younger than she did in her previous life.
Xu Guiying looked her over and couldn't help but feel gratified.
The year we started over was 1987.
Now, almost thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Guiying stood under the big tree in the courtyard.
There are stars in the sky tonight.
The voices of two elderly people could be heard from all sides, as well as the voices of Song Xinfu and Ying Suqi talking, and the sounds of Song Liyun and Song Mingzhou secretly eating snacks in the alley outside.
Xu Guiying smiled.
He turned around and went back into the house.
