Chapter 217 She would buy me a marshmallow every day]

"I'm wearing it."

After Ye Xianghong received the small silver bracelet from Ye Qingyue, she kept wearing it even though the size was no longer suitable for her wrist.

She took out a small purse made of old cloth from her bosom and poured out the small bracelet that had turned black.

"Why did you ask mother about this?" Ye Qingyue asked.

Ye Mei said, "On the way here, I saw a jewelry store. There was a sign saying that silver jewelry can be cleaned. Do you want to take this bracelet to be cleaned, mother, so that it won't be so black that it can't be seen."

"I can't wear it anymore."

Ye Xianghong didn't know how much it would cost to clean the bracelet, so she said, "Forget it."

Anyway, she put it in the small purse as a reminder.

"Mom, let my elder sister take it to the store to have it cleaned."

Ye Qingyue saw that Ye Xianghong was worried about the money, so she said, "The last time you wore the bracelet was several decades ago. Don't you want to see it return to its original appearance? Maybe it can help you remember something?"

Ye Xianghong was a little tempted.

"Give it to me."

Ye Mei took the small bracelet and purse away without saying anything, and put it in her arms.

Now, Ye Xianghong couldn't refuse.

After the family had dinner, they walked back and saw the jewelry store that Ye Mei mentioned.

The shop owner saw that the bracelet was quite small and the person who brought it didn't look old, so he asked, "Who is this for?"

Ye Qingyue explained, "My mother wore it when she was a child, but she can't wear it now."

"You don't have to wear it on your hand."

The shop owner opened the drawer, and there were a bunch of red ropes, black ropes and other things inside, as well as some semi-finished woven fabrics. "I can weave some patterns on the bracelet and make it a pendant, how about that?"

It doesn't cost much to wash the bracelet, and the shop owner strongly promoted other businesses.

"Okay."

Ye Mei asked the price, and after bargaining, she paid a deposit and came to pick it up tomorrow.

Ye Xianghong said it was expensive, but he looked very happy.

The four of them returned home and began to pack their own luggage, and then packed the family's things together.

They were busy until the evening and finally figured out most of it.

The next morning, Ye Qingyue got up early, went out to buy breakfast and brought it back.

The family had breakfast and continued to clean up, tidying up the house before lunch. Since

they didn't bring enough things,

they had to go out to eat at noon. Ye Mei specially brought a pen and paper with her. At the dinner table, they talked about what the family needed. She wrote it down and said she would go buy it after dinner.

"Let's go together." Ye Xianghong was a little worried.

Ye Mei waved her hand to refuse, "Mom, I can do it alone. Don't you and Qingyue have to go to the park? Let's go together later when we buy New Year's goods at home."

This time she was not only shopping for the family, but also to see the market situation in Beijing.

Taking Ye Xianghong with her, Ye Mei was afraid that her involvement in the black market would be exposed, and it would be inconvenient for her to move around.

Seeing that Ye Mei insisted, Ye Xianghong had no choice but to follow her.

After dinner, the family of four split into three groups.

Ye Feng went home to clean, Ye Mei went to buy things that were missing at home, and Ye Qingyue took Ye Xianghong to the jewelry store to get a bracelet, and then went to the park to find a painter.

When they arrived at the jewelry store, the owner handed them the brand new silver bracelet.

The originally pitch-black small circle has now turned shiny silver white, wrapped with a red rope, and a "Fu" character is woven in the middle of the circle. It is not too big, and it does not look exaggerated when hung around the waist.

Ye Xianghong has been married to Ye Yong for many years, but this is the first time she has her own jewelry.

She took the ornament from the shop owner, and a smile appeared on her dull face, looking very pleased.

Thinking that this might be left by her biological parents, Ye Xianghong touched it gently, and with the help of the shop owner, she hung the small bracelet around her waist.

"The New Year is coming soon, auntie, don't be reluctant to part with it. Buy yourself a nice new dress, and then hang this, it will definitely look good!"

The shop owner took the money and kept praising her.

Ye Xianghong was not used to such scenes. At her age, except for the three children who always praised her recently, she was often suppressed at other times.

Suddenly praised enthusiastically by a stranger, Ye Xianghong pulled Ye Qingyue's sleeve and wanted to leave.

Ye Qingyue took Ye Xianghong away, introducing her to the surroundings along the way, letting her get acquainted with the new home and relieve her nervousness.

After a while, they walked to a nearby park.

The most conspicuous place in the park was the stall selling cotton candy.

"Mom, have you ever eaten cotton candy? I'll buy you one to try."

Ye Qingyue was about to pull Ye Xianghong away, but found that she couldn't pull him.

She was stunned, turned her head and looked around, and saw Ye Xianghong looking at the cotton candy stall, looking around, sometimes frowning, sometimes shaking her head.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Ye Qingyue asked.

"I seem to have been to a similar place before."

Ye Xianghong gestured with her hands, "but it's bigger than this place, much bigger..."

Ye Qingyue's heart moved, and

she asked, "Did you come here when you were a child?" Ye Xianghong nodded.

Ye Qingyue said, "Mom, when the family is settled, I will ask Qingchi how many big parks there are in the capital, and then I will take you to visit them all, okay?"

Since her mother had an impression of the park, maybe she lived nearby when she was a child and could find clues.

Ye Xianghong understood what Ye Qingyue meant, but she did not nod immediately, but hesitated.

"Mom, are you afraid?" Ye Qingyue held Ye Xianghong's hand and saw her worry.

Ye Xianghong did not speak.

Ye Qingyue knew that her mother was afraid.

Afraid that she would not find her relatives. She

was even more afraid that if she found them, they would not be as good as they thought.

Sometimes, in front of the truth, people may not be ecstatic, but shrink.

"Mom, let me take you to buy some cotton candy."

Ye Qingyue stopped talking about this topic. It took her mother some time to accept it.

She pulled Ye Xianghong, who was still looking around, to the cotton candy stand and asked for two cotton candies.

The stall owner recognized her and said, "Are you the child who helped Grandma Li a long time ago?"

After almost half a year, the stall owner still recognized Ye Qingyue. After all, there are not many girls who look so pretty.

Ye Qingyue nodded, "Yes."

Speaking of Li Qi, Ye Qingyue asked, "Have you seen her later?"

The stall owner said, "She came here every day later!"

Ye Qingyue was stunned.

The stall owner continued, "After seeing you last time, Grandma Li is no longer crazy. She no longer grabs other children every day. She has become very quiet. She comes to the park every day and buys a cotton candy from me. Then she stands there with the cotton candy."

He pointed in a direction.

Ye Qingyue turned her head and saw a street light.

If I remember correctly, when she separated from Li Qi last time, Li Qi stood there and watched her walk away.

When Ye Qingyue heard this, it seemed that something was blocking her chest.

At this time, the stall owner said again: "Before, there was a child who was greedy and wanted the cotton candy in her hand, but she refused to give it to him, saying that it was for her daughter and she would eat it when her daughter came back from a business trip."

"However, she saw that the child was too greedy, so she would give the child money and let the child come to me to buy candy. Over time, children often asked her for money to buy candy, and she never refused."

The stall owner sighed, and then continued: "Last week, there were even adults who asked her directly for money, thinking she was a fool and a swindler. By chance, Grandma Li's family found out and didn't let her come anymore. I haven't seen her for a few days."

Ye Qingyue frowned when she heard this.

Beside her, Ye Xianghong kept shaking her head, "You can't lie... How can you lie... It's too bad, it's really too bad..."

Just then, the two of them suddenly heard the stall owner say "Aiya" and looked behind them, "Grandma Li! Why are you here? What's going on with the leaves above? Did you sneak out?"
