Before, her father forced her to write and draw, but she never agreed. But after meeting the person she loved, she started to work hard on her own.
Although the original intention was to please people, now I have mastered calligraphy and it is not bad.
But there are brushes and rice paper in the room, so I guess he must have learned how to use it before, but I wonder to what extent he learned it.
Lin Hexiao rummaged around the room for a while and found her previous notes. The handwriting was a little light, but it was similar to her current ones.
It seems that her guess was right, perhaps this was her. After the pendant was broken, she remembered everything that happened before.
...
On the fifth day, a group of people came to the house. Lin Hexiao did not go downstairs. He stayed in the room and heard that it seemed like they were from two families.
I vaguely heard something saying that it wasn't intentional and they didn't expect something like this to happen. They had been looking for her for such a long time and had done their best.
Lin Hexiao wanted to go down and take a look, but when she came down, she had already been sent out by her mother.
"Mom, who was that just now?"
Mother Lin's face was not very good. She scoffed and said, "Who else could it be? Liang Qian's mother and Wu Ji's mother. It seems that these two had already discussed it privately. They said they met at the door and came here together. I think they made an appointment on purpose.
What's the point of saying sorry now? It's a fact that you went out with their child and got lost, so they have to take responsibility. When they say they would help look for you, they only know that when you disappeared, they went along to inquire about you the next day.
There hasn't been any movement between the two families in the past couple of months. Everyone would say something nice."
Perhaps because of the matter concerning Liang Qian and Wu Ji, Mother Lin had some complaints against both families. As she was talking, she looked at the two bags of candy and some fruits they brought with her, and she became angry and threw them directly on the ground.
Lin Hexiao quickly went forward to pick it up and persuaded his mother, "Mom, why are you so angry? I came out fine, didn't I? Their two families are on good terms privately, so let them be. After I break off my engagement with Wu Ji, we can just stop associating with them.
There are so many neighbors, why bother with them and make yourself upset."
"I just can't get enough of their attitude. If it wasn't their child who was lost, if it was Liang Qian or Wu Ji, they would probably come and tear you apart."
Lin Hexiao was not quite clear about his previous personality and didn't know why he was so unpopular with both families.
But that's all in the past. She has to move on. As for Liang Qian and Wu Ji, she no longer cares about them.
Her heart is very calm now. She has made up her mind to live a good life for herself and her family in this life.
In the evening, when Dad came back, he heard from Mother Lin that the two families came to see Xiaoxiao this afternoon.
Father Lin was also somewhat dissatisfied. The child had been back for several days, and the neighbors all came that afternoon. The two families lived in the same compound, so how could they not know about it? It took them so many days to come.
As soon as the Wu family was mentioned, Lin's father said, "Let's prepare for the day after tomorrow and go to the Wu family to cancel the engagement."
"Okay, that's what I mean."
As a result, plans could not keep up with changes, and Lin Huai and Li Qinghua had no time to prepare.
The next afternoon, the Wu family came to the door first.
This time, Lin Hexiao, who was helping her mother clean downstairs, happened to catch her red-handed.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao has become more diligent now that he's back. He knows to help your mother clean. Alas, child, why are you so miserable? You've suffered such a great sin. Fortunately, you've been found."
Lin Hexiao no longer had any impression of whose aunt this was.
He watched her holding his hand and squeezing out a few tears, stunned.
Whenever Lin Hexiao saw her before, he would call her "Auntie Wu" in a very affectionate way.
When I saw her today, I was indifferent. It took me a moment to blink before I remembered that Lin Hexiao had lost her memory.
She quickly added, "Xiaoxiao, I'm your Aunt Wu. You used to be the closest to me. Don't you remember anything?"
When Lin Hexiao heard the surname Wu, he knew that this was that family and shook his head mechanically.
Father Wu said, "Xiaoxiao, it's okay if you don't remember. You'll get used to it slowly. I'm Uncle Wu, and this is your Aunt Wu. You used to love coming to our house the most."
Then he turned to Aunt Wu beside him and said, "The child has suffered so much and has just returned. Don't scare the child."
"Why are you two here at this hour? Have you had dinner yet?"
Mother Lin heard the sound and came out to respond.
Mother Wu said, "I've eaten."
"Sit down, Xiaoxiao, pour a glass of water for your uncle and aunt."
"good."
Father Wu looked at Lin Hexiao's obedience and said with emotion, "I never thought that the child would grow up in an instant."
"My Xiaoxiao has always been obedient. She was just a little naughty before... Did you come here today for something?"
Father Wu and Mother Wu looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. Father Wu then said, "Today we are here to discuss the marriage of our two children."
"Marriage?" Mother Lin was still thinking that tomorrow, Sunday, would be a good time for her to go to their house.
"Yes, Sister Lin, our two families are old friends. The marriage of our two children was arranged by our elders, and it was originally what we all looked forward to.
But who could have imagined that the children would grow up and have their own ideas? They say a forced melon is not sweet. Both our families can see that one of the two children is willing, the other is not. If we really force them to be together, they will end up being a pair of resentful couples. Let's just forget about this marriage."
As soon as Mother Wu finished speaking, Mother Lin's face turned cold.
Just as she was about to say something, her father Lin, who had just gotten off work, interrupted her: "Oh, you're here so late to cancel the engagement. It's just right, we were planning to come to you tomorrow to cancel the engagement."
"Old Lin, you guys have the same idea. That's great." Father Wu smiled, stood up and sat down to greet Father Lin.
Mother Lin also interjected, "It's okay to cancel the engagement, but we have to bring it up first."
"Why is that?" Mother Wu asked in confusion.
"For my daughter's sake, she's going to get married after the engagement is broken off. It's different if the man breaks off the engagement first or if the woman breaks off the engagement first. If my daughter is broken off by the man, it will be difficult for her to find a husband in the future."
Mother Wu smiled and said, "Sister Lin, it's not a big deal these days. We don't care about this anymore."
Father Wu didn't think it was a big deal. It was fine if the woman brought it up. It was for outsiders to see anyway. Since his family was the man's side, it didn't matter. "Sister Lin is right. Xiaoxiao is a girl after all. It's right to think this way."
"What are you talking about? I don't agree. The girl wants face, but our Xiao Ji doesn't." Mother Wu was unwilling.
