Behind the security escort agency was a small courtyard, very small, surrounded by houses, with only a courtyard of about ten square meters in the middle, and a well.
The yard was cluttered with things, making it look messy and crowded.
Aunt Chi smiled noticeably as she walked in. Looking at everything so familiar, those beautiful memories slowly surfaced in her mind.
The memories of my childhood are no longer gray and blank; as I walk along, they become vivid again...
“Huainan, do you remember when you were little and you were naughty? You insisted on climbing the plum tree onto the roof, even though your parents told you not to!
Then one time when I was watching you, you secretly climbed up the plum tree, jumped onto the roof, and went to cause trouble at other people's houses! Because of this, I got a good beating from my parents.
When I was little, I was extremely annoyed with my younger brother and even "hated" him because of this.
But now that they're older, they talk about it with a smile, and it's incredibly sweet.
Those were the most beautiful times in her memory.
Lin Huainan also said, "I remember when we were little, you didn't like me at all, and you used to pinch me!"
"Who told you to disobey?"
"But aren't you the most disobedient child in our family?"
Lin Huainan's offhand remark left the siblings speechless for a moment.
Lin Huainan watched as the excitement and nostalgia on Aunt Chi's face gradually faded, and he felt incredibly regretful. "Sister, I didn't mean it that way. I just... I just said it offhand, really, I..."
well!
That mouth of his!
Can't you think before you speak?
Lin Wangshi was extremely curious, but she suppressed her curiosity and didn't dare to ask.
I've been married into this family for ten years, and I've never heard anyone in my family mention this older sister-in-law. That means this is a taboo topic in my husband's family!
She's not that stupid to bring it up!
Isn't that just courting death?
"It's alright, where are Mom and Dad?"
Just as Aunt Chi finished asking, she saw an old, hunched-over white-haired woman carrying a bowl out of a low-ceilinged tile-roofed house.
The old man carried the bowl with extra care, taking small, quick steps, as if afraid of knocking it over.
The strong medicinal smell told me it was a bowl of medicine.
"Mother, look who's here!"
Lin Huainan excitedly walked over and shouted.
The old lady stopped walking, then looked up blankly, following Lin Huainan's gaze...
When the mother and daughter's eyes met in mid-air, Aunt Chi's tears immediately welled up, and her long-held emotions collapsed.
She released Chi Tang and staggered toward the white-haired old man, opening her mouth again and again as if to say something, but not uttering a single word.
It could only utter a distressed "ah" sound.
"Splash!"
The old lady's medicine bowl fell and shattered on the ground, splashing brown medicine liquid onto her light purple embroidered shoes.
The old woman's chin trembled incessantly, her cloudy eyes quickly filled with tears, and she tried hard to move her facial muscles to make herself smile.
Can……
But the corners of his mouth were drooping.
The old lady's voice was hoarse, and it took her a long time to utter a single sentence.
You're back?
That warm voice made it seem as if Aunt Chi had always lived at home, and had only gone out for half a day. Her mother had just returned home and was asking her questions with such kindness.
Aunt Chi covered her mouth with one hand and stopped two steps away from her mother, not daring to take another step.
"Um!"
Aunt Chi nodded vigorously, her voice trembling with sobs.
She had imagined countless times what it would be like to see her mother again.
Maybe:
"You bastard, what are you doing here? If you're so capable, why don't you just stay away? Didn't you say when you left that you'd never come home, even if you died?"
Then he punched her.
perhaps:
"Why are you only coming back now? You brat, why are you so stubborn with your own parents! Do you know how much I've missed you all these years?"
Then the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Or perhaps:
"What are you doing back here? Get out."
Then he turned around and closed the door, refusing to look at her again.
We finally met at this moment, but it was nothing like the scene I had imagined.
But it instantly relieved her of the knot in her heart that she had been carrying for many years.
From just that one sentence, she knew that her mother must have missed her terribly all these years.
"Girl, when did you get here? Are you hungry? Let me make you your favorite tomato and egg noodles."
Aunt Chi was immediately lost in her memories.
My family was poor when I was a child, and we didn't have much money.
Even if there was something good to eat at home, it was always given to her older and younger brothers first; as the daughter, she never got to eat anything good.
Only on her birthday each year would her mother make her a bowl of tomato and egg noodles.
Because there are eggs in the noodles, she loves them.
It's not that I particularly liked eggs, but back then, being able to eat eggs was a luxury, so I especially loved them.
Now that our family's financial situation has improved, we can make whatever we want, not just tomato and egg noodles, but all kinds of meat...
"Mom, don't bother, I'm not hungry. You..."
"Get out! Tell that person to get out!"
Suddenly, an old man's roar came from the side room.
Aunt Chi's face immediately froze.
So many years have passed, and Father still refuses to see her?
"Sister, wait a minute, I'll go tell Dad."
Lin Huainan rushed into the east wing in a panic, and soon the conversation between the father and son could be heard.
