Chapter 67: Drunkenness and Dreams
Lin Xi took a long vacation from the Lin Group and her return date is uncertain.
When the mind is too tired, it will directly affect the health of the body.
Now Gu Zhaoyun is always taken care of by her mother Xiuyun.
What about her?
I was talking to my good friend Xuedan on the phone at night and she said, "I've wanted to travel for a long time. Not for work anymore, but just to relax and travel alone."
"Then go ahead. I wish you a good time and a happy time."
Lin Xi sat on the balcony swing and nodded gently, "Yes."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi unconsciously touched the necklace around her neck.
"After all the fuss, I'm still alone." She said to herself.
Perhaps people are meant to go through most of their life journeys alone.
Before leaving, Lin Xi talked a lot with her mother.
Xiuyun understands her daughter very well and supports her in relaxing.
The next morning, Lin Xi set off in his car.
"Wait till you are silver,
Until I can no longer distinguish the changing seasons,
Only then can I say I am addicted" ---Mercury Notes
Accompanied by this song along the way, Lin Xi arrived at Dali, the south of the colorful clouds.
Looking at the blue sky, Lin Xi sighed deeply.
Pulling the suitcase, I pushed open the wooden door covered with cobwebs and walked into the yard, which was overgrown with weeds.
This is an inn that Lin Xi bought.
I want to raise Xiaofu, Songguo, and Dahuang here.
We want to plant flowers and grass here, plant beauty and hope.
So, half a month later, this nameless inn opened.
Only accept people who are destined to meet you, no charge, just see if you have a good impression with the boss.
So after half a month of opening, not a single guest was able to check in.
Forget it, Lin Xi has more free time being alone.
My next-door neighbor is a grandmother in her sixties or seventies, and she is a very nice person.
At sunset, Lin Xi sat under the yellow apricot tree outside the inn and chatted with the old lady.
The old lady's husband is gone, and her son is working hard in the big city, leaving her alone as an old woman.
However, she raises a flock of chickens, ducks and geese, and also makes some money by brewing wine. Brewing wine is her hobby. It is said that the daughter's red wine brewed by the old lady is famous far and wide, and many people come here to buy it.
"Although I'm old and alone, I feel like every day I live is lively and fulfilling."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, you are so optimistic."
"A day is as good as a day, whether you are happy or unhappy. Why should you be hard on yourself and be unhappy? If you are angry, vent it in time. Don't endure when you encounter unhappy things. Don't act casually when you see someone you don't like." This is the old lady's secret to happiness.
After the old lady said this, Lin Xi realized that there were not many people in the town hanging around with the old lady, and the customers who came to buy wine were from the county town, and even quite a few were from other places.
“Life is a journey of your own, no one else can control your heart, only you can control your heart.”
"Then grandma, am I the person you like?" Lin Xi said very gently.
At this time, the evening breeze blew.
Dali has a pleasant climate, and late spring in April is just right.
The old lady said amiably, "Actually, I'm quite curious as to why you came to a small place like ours. However, many people do come here to travel, retire, or stay temporarily. But I have a granddaughter-in-law, and you and her do look a bit like each other."
"Oh?" Lin Xi asked in confusion after hearing this.
"My granddaughter-in-law is from a famous family in Haicheng, but my grandson is also very outstanding. So my granddaughter-in-law is beautiful, has good temperament, and is well-spoken."
"Oh." Lin Xi understood.
"Although I am a little dazzled, my mind is clear as a mirror. Little girl, I can tell at a glance that you are not from an ordinary family."
Lin Xi yawned, it was getting late.
It was getting dark.
"Grandma, let me help you go home and rest. There will be mosquitoes soon."
"No, no, no. Since I got the cane, I rarely need help from others."
The two men stood up and went back to their respective yards.
Every household in the town has its own door and yard.
Linxi is a three-story building.
She lives on the third floor, where the wind is strong. When the wind blows at night, she sleeps comfortably.
The next morning at around six o'clock, Lin Xi had already gone downstairs.
And go out to buy food.
She was wearing a new Chinese style dress, simple and elegant.
I bought a fish for breakfast.
Go to the yard and pick some tomatoes you grew yourself and make a bowl of tomato soup.
Steamed fish, tomato soup, and simple meals.
The remaining fish meat is given to Xiaofu to eat, and every time at this time, Dahuang will snatch it away.
Xiao Fu stretched out her claws, and the big fool Da Huang was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly.
During the day, I would practice calligraphy and painting. When I had nothing to do, I would visit the old lady next door and make daughter's red wine with her.
There are many kinds of wine in grandma's house, including red wine, fruit wine, and milk wine.
Grandma gave her a bottle of yellow plum wine and a bottle of fruit milk wine.
At night, Lin Xi took out two ice cubes from the freezer so that they could feel cool and refreshing.
Lin Xi drank too much.
I don’t know when, but there was not a drop of yellow plum wine left.
Her face flushed, she stood upside down and shook the bottle.
Not a drop left. With a dazed look in his eyes, he lay on the wooden table, feeling the evening breeze.
At this moment of drunkenness and dreaming, Lin Xi forgot all his worries.
When it was like a dream, I saw Gu Qingheng.
Gu Qingheng was still as bright and refreshing as ever, and Lin Xi hurried forward to grab him.
But the next second, he missed.
Fell into the backyard pond.
Water, too cold, too cold.
The water is too shallow, too shallow.
Lin Xi stood up, half sober, and troubles followed.
"I forgot that Qingheng is no longer here." He must have been really drunk.
…
Early the next morning, Lin Xi had not yet woken up.
Grandma came and knocked on the door.
The knock on the door was very urgent.
Lin Xi could only get up and go downstairs to open the door.
He looked disheveled and reeked of alcohol.
When the old lady smelled Lin Xi, she felt that it was over!
So he asked indirectly, "Did you drink the wine I gave you last night?"
"What's wrong, grandma?"
"Did you drink?"
"I drank it."
"The one you drank?"
"The yellow plum wine I drank." Lin Xi replied.
"Did you take the yellow plum wine tied with a red string from the wine cellar?" the old lady continued to ask.
"Yes, grandma."
The old lady held her forehead and asked, "Then you probably didn't see anything last night, did you?"
Lin Xi remained silent.
Instead, she smiled and said, "Let's go inside and talk. It's better not to talk about such private matters at the door. What do you think, mother-in-law?"
"I think so too." Grandma sighed.
After entering the house, Lin Xi poured a cup of tea for the old lady and sat opposite her.
"I saw it last night, my husband." Lin Xi told everything.
"Your husband is gone." Grandma said in a firm tone.
"So it's the effect of the wine." Gu Qingheng saw it so clearly.
"After my husband passed away, I brewed this love wine. Occasionally, when I'm drunk, I can see him and it helps ease the pain of missing him."
"Oh, no wonder."
"Don't drink the wrong thing next time. If you drink too much of this wine, it will shorten your life. I don't care. At my age, if I go earlier, I can see him earlier. But you can't. In my opinion, you still have a destiny in marriage."
"Grandma, you are a little bit magical."
"I, an old woman, know a lot of things, hahaha." The old lady laughed heartily.
Lin Xi listened with one ear and ignored the other, her eyes moving around, as if she saw Gu Qingheng again.
The next second, my view was blocked by the old lady.
"Sleep well, and when the alcohol wears off, you won't see anything."
"good."
So, Lin Xi slept for a whole day and a night.
Xiaofu meowed, but couldn't be woken up.
The big yellow dog was hungry, and Songguo was bullied by Xiaofu and climbed up the tree.
Xiuyun missed her daughter so much that she came without saying hello and brought Lin Xi's son, Gu Zhaoyun, with her.
*****
When Lin Xi woke up, she saw her mother busy in the yard.
Gu Zhaoyun was sleeping in the stroller.
Surprised, "When did you come?"
"While you were sleeping. You didn't tell me that your cooking skills were not good and you missed your mother's cooking, so I came here."
"Mom, you're so nice."
"Mom... Mom..." Gu Zhaoyun, who was sleeping, was woken up. His big eyes blinked like black grapes and he called out "Mom" incoherently.
"How long will it take?" Xiuyun asked.
"I want to go back too. Maybe next month, and stay for another half a month." Lin Xi picked up her son.
Well, after not seeing you for a few days, little Zhaoyun has grown up and become fatter.
"Go back, Lin needs you, Chen Yan also needs you..."
When her mother mentioned Chen Yan, Lin Xi was stunned.
His voice dropped, "He has so many women around him, why would he need me?"
Fruit, plum is sweet.
Whatever Lin Xi needs, it’s probably...!
"You're just overthinking it. Actually, Xiao Shen has nothing but you."
"You don't understand, Mom."
Whenever Chen Yan was mentioned, the mother and daughter had different opinions.
"Okay, I don't understand. I just know that Gu Zhaoyun has Shen Yan's blood flowing in his veins."
"I've figured it out. It doesn't matter if he has a father or not. I will love him, give him the best material life, and teach him to understand reason, honor and shame, and be modest."
"Okay, whatever you want. The food is ready, let's eat together." Xiuyun didn't care. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings.
"Yeah!" Lin Xi smiled!
In a blink of an eye, it was night. The sky was pitch black tonight, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Lin Xi slept uneasily in bed, tossing and turning.
I always felt there was a sound outside, but when I stood at the window to look, there was nothing there.
"It's incomprehensible..." Lin Xi muttered to himself, turned around, and found a transparent dagger against his neck.
"you."
Just as he uttered a word, his mouth was covered.
"Shh. Let me hide for a moment." It was a low, gentle male voice.
Judging from the voice, the other person is not very old.
Lin Xi nodded.
And then, with a bang, the door was kicked open.
Lin Xi’s first reaction was mother and son.
"I'm telling you, don't move." The man warned again.
Lin Xi really didn't dare to move.
He sighed, "Whatever you want to do, I will cooperate with you."
"Okay, act out a play with me."
…
Lin Xi's room was completely empty, and everything was visible. The same was true for the entire inn.
So, Lin Xi pretended to be asleep, and those people took a look at her and left quietly.
The man in black came out from Lin Xi's bed and said, "You smell good."
Just left.
"Knowing Kung Fu, but being chased..."
The most turbulent time was when Lin Xi was a child. Back then, it was easy for children from wealthy families to be kidnapped, especially those from very wealthy and powerful families, who inevitably had a few enemies.
Now?
Relatively less.
After they were completely gone, Lin Xi didn't dare to turn on the light. She used her mobile phone to illuminate the room and went to her mother's room.
As a result, the mother was still sleeping, and Gu Zhaoyun was very well-behaved and quiet.
"Mom..." Lin Xi spoke.
Xiuyun sat up suddenly.
She was also pretending because those people moved very quietly and she was afraid of disturbing them and being discovered.
So let's play along, and if we don't know about them, then we're done.
After what happened tonight, Lin Xi and her mother decided to leave the next day.
Lin Xi went to visit the old lady next door. The old lady smiled and said, "I'm already quite old, what am I afraid of? After living to my age, everything becomes easy and nothing matters."
"Miss Lin Xi, take care on your journey."
"You too, mother-in-law."
Just like that, I returned to Beijing North at night.
In Beijing City, in the Lin Mansion, few people dare to touch the Lin family.
This Lin Mansion actually has a secret mechanism, just in case.
"Miss, Madam."
Aunt Wang came out to receive them.
Carrying large and small bags of things, several servants were trying to carry Xiaofu, Dahuang, and Songguo out of the car.
Xiuyun said, "Don't think about it, just forget it. They don't know who we are, and we don't know who they are. Just treat it as a minor incident."
"Yeah." Lin Xi: That's exactly what I meant.
Lin Xi, holding the child, and her mother Xiuyun entered the villa first.
It’s great to be back home, with someone to take care of your food, drink, shelter and transportation.
Every place in the house is comfortable.
Apart from wanting to spend time with Gu Zhaoyun and her mother, Lin Xi doesn't want to see outsiders for the time being.
Even though she is in a much better mood now, she is still a little withdrawn from the world.
She once wrote in her diary, "Let the flowers bloom, let the trees grow." But she, a bud, was most beautiful when about to bloom, and her subsequent flowering period did not meet expectations.
In a blink of an eye, ten days later.
Lin Xi went to work, where she had endless work to do and endless situations to report to Linda and Wang Xiao.
Because he hadn't been here for many days, Lin Xi was not familiar with some of the new projects.
You need to attend group meetings, meet the project person, and have a meal with Party B before considering whether to cooperate.
So, tonight she got drunk.
But there will never be another glass of wine like yellow plum wine that can make you see Gu Qingheng.
However, instead of seeing Gu Qingheng, he saw Chen Yan.
And she hooked his tie to prevent him from leaving.
Right in the corridor of the club, in front of everyone, Lin Xi was wearing high heels, a professional suit, fiery red lips, and long wavy hair.
"Tell me, who is Guozi? Do you know that I once hated you very much because of this matter?"
"Let's talk about it when we get home, okay?"
"No. You are still pretending with me in your dream, Chen Yan, how long are you going to pretend?" Fortunately, no one is as good as the Shen and Lin families, so no one dares to laugh at you.
Everyone knows what their relationship is.
So, everyone tactfully dispersed, leaving the ex-husband and ex-wife to talk it over on their own.
"Oh, you're angry."
