This weekend, Lin Jiayu and Cheng Maixiang plan to visit Wei Lingcheng's home.
Early in the morning, the driver sent by Wei Lingcheng was waiting at the door of the Lin family. When he saw the two people walking out of the gate, he hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door for them.
The car was driving slowly on the avenue of the provincial capital. After a quarter of an hour, the car turned from the avenue into a small road. The small road was less than four meters wide and could only allow two cars to drive side by side.
Tall plane trees are planted on both sides of the path, and holly trees about one meter tall are neatly trimmed, firmly blocking the view of passers-by.
The car turned two more corners and finally stopped in front of a two-story building that looked like a small villa.
After Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu got off the car, the driver drove away. Cheng Maixiang looked around and saw several similar buildings not far away, all hidden in the green shade, with only a few corners of the eaves exposed.
In this era, people who can afford this kind of housing must be either rich or noble.
Before Cheng Maixiang could take in the surroundings clearly, she heard a clear voice excitedly shouting, "Uncle, Aunt, you're finally here!"
Cheng Maixiang's eyes blurred, and a pink figure threw herself into her arms, hugging her with soft little hands, and the little head kept nodding towards her arms.
At this moment, Cheng Maixiang felt as if she saw buckwheat.
Wei Lingcheng and Lin Qingwan walked out of the house with smiles on their faces. "This kid has been making a fuss since six in the morning, constantly mumbling about when you guys will arrive. If the driver didn't leave from here, she would definitely insist on going with the driver to pick you up."
Cheng Maixiang touched Yingying's head and felt warm in her heart when she saw the little skirt she was wearing.
Ever since Yingying returned to the Wei family, she rarely made clothes for her. After all, with Wei Lingcheng's family background, Yingying's clothes would not be too bad even without her. Moreover, she was busy with her schoolwork and designing clothes for the garment factory, so she really didn't have extra time to do this.
But today, Yingying actually wore the clothes she had made before.
Yingying was in the growth stage, so she had to replace her clothes after just a few months. Although she deliberately enlarged the size when making her skirt, it was still much smaller. Her previous knee-length skirt could barely cover her thighs.
"Yingying is the closest to my aunt, so of course she's looking forward to her coming. Don't you think so, Yingying?"
"Yeah," Yingying nodded heavily, her face falling again, "It would be even better if Qiaomai was here too."
This is a good child who values ​​friendship and loyalty. I believe that no matter where she goes in the future, she will never forget this childhood friend.
Wei Lingcheng was busy letting the two of them in, but Cheng Maixiang saw some nice flowers and plants growing in the flowerbed in front of the building. She pointed to a peony in full bloom and asked with a smile, "Brother-in-law, can you give me one of these peonies?"
"Okay, Maizi likes to grow flowers. I'll give you some good ones tomorrow."
The two of them came to the living room and sat down on the sofa. The nanny served them tea and then left quietly.
The tea has a rich aroma, and you can tell it is the best pre-rain Longjing tea at the first sniff.
Lin Jiayu had visited this mansion countless times during his childhood. Every time he came here, he would receive a warm reception from the old man and his wife of the Wei family, and the two brothers of the Wei family also loved him like a little brother.
Now, after more than ten years, I stepped into this house that was once as familiar as my own home, but everything has changed.
Madam Wei had passed away long ago, the eldest brother of the Wei family was under house arrest, and even Grandpa Wei was banished to the south. Only Wei Lingcheng was left alone to guard this house.
For a moment, Lin Jiayu felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.
Lin Qingwan walked into the living room carrying a tea tray that looked like it had been rained on. Yingying followed her in and immediately nestled next to Cheng Maixiang, asking for credit. "Aunt, I cut this fruit. You must try it."
Cheng Maixiang looked at her with her little face tilted up, looking for praise, and couldn't help but recall the scene a year and a half ago when she was in the yard of Linwen County and shyly said that she grew the grapes and she must taste them herself.
Cheng Maixiang's heart softened. She took a piece of cut apple from the disk and put it in her mouth. "Hmm, the fruit cut by Yingying is so sweet. It's so delicious!"
Although Yingying's personality has become much more cheerful, she is not as shameless as Qiaomai. Cheng Maixiang's loud praise of her in public made her feel embarrassed. Her little face suddenly turned red with shame, and she buried herself in Cheng Maixiang's arms again.
Several adults laughed, and the atmosphere in the living room became a lot more relaxed.
"By the way, Maizi, I've been wanting to tell you that of the seventy sewing machines you ordered during the Chinese New Year, thirty-five have already been collected. I'm afraid we'll have to wait another month for the other thirty-five. Do you want the thirty-five shipped over first, or wait until all the others are delivered?"
"Send the thirty-five machines first. I received a letter from my mother yesterday saying that she has already hired nearly forty people and they are just waiting for the sewing machines."
"Okay, then wait until May Day. When you and Xiaojia return to Linwen, I'll bring someone to take you back!"
"Sister, are you and Yingying going back to Linwen County with me and Maizi for May Day?"
Lin Jiayu originally thought that since his sister and Yingying had returned to the Wei family, the three of them would probably spend the May Day holiday alone, but he didn't expect that they still planned to return to Linwen.
"Well," Lin Qingwan looked at Yingying with a gentle gaze, "Not only does Yingying miss Qiaomai, I miss Aunt Cheng and my eldest sister-in-law too. It's rare that both Maizi and Yingying have a day off, so naturally I have to go back and see them."
At this moment, Yingying suddenly tugged at Cheng Maixiang's clothes and whispered in her ear, "Aunt, come to my room. I have something to tell you."
