Chapter 208 He Didn't Come Back

Yuan Xiao had mixed feelings. No matter what era, there was always someone who feared power.

"Is that man...good to you?"

Yuan Xiao still didn't understand. If that man was Fu Yuanping, why would Fu Yuanping be willing to send her to another man's bed?

Li Yang sneered, "Okay, give me money, introduce me to a job, and then send me to another man to help him get useful information."

She pressed hard with her fingertips, making a creaking sound on the table.

Seeing her sinister expression, Yuan Xiao quickly changed the subject: "Sister Li Yang, I haven't asked you yet, where are you from?"

Li Yang realized that she had lost her composure and sorted herself out. "It's not far from the capital. I'm from Langshi. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

Yuan Xiao's heart skipped a beat. "Where is Langshi?"

Li Yang laughed. "There is a county called Qushui County in Langshi. You probably have never heard of it."

Yuan Xiao's expression changed slightly.

Li Yang was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Yuan Xiao straightened his expression, "I have a classmate who is also from Langshi. I didn't expect that we are from the same hometown. What village are you from in Qushui County? Maybe I have heard of it!"

"Really? I am from Dalan Village, Hongqing Commune. Have you heard of it?"

Yuan Xiao was absent-minded and shook his head, "I really haven't heard of it."

Li Yang was not disappointed, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. It's not famous. I haven't been back for a long time."

"Have you ever thought about going back to see them?"

Li Yang shook his head and whispered, "I dare not."

Yuan Xiao didn't stay here for long. She was too shocked and worried that she would reveal herself.

Li Yang was also from Qushui County. If she hadn't been back for many years, she would definitely recognize herself!

There is no coincidence in the world!

Yuan Xiao went home with a nervous mood.

Seeing her come back so early, Wang Yazhi asked, "Didn't you say you were going to have dinner at a friend's house?"

Yuan Xiao did not answer her question, but instead asked, "Mom, did you know that there is a Hongqing Commune in our county?"

Wang Yazhi shook her head. When she was in Qushui County, she either farmed in Dayang Village or went directly to the county. She had no idea about this commune.

Zhong Li, who was doing homework on the side, raised her hand, "Sister Yuan Xiao, I know."

Yuan Xiao looked at him in astonishment, "How do you know?"

Zhong Li said, "My brother and I are from Hongqing Commune, and we are from Dalan Village!"

Yuan Xiao was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while, and he kept saying, "Zhong Li... Zhong Yang..."

"Li Yang!"

Zhong Yang exclaimed, "Sister, how do you know my mother's name?" Zhong Li

patted his head, "Don't talk nonsense, that bad woman is not our mother!"

"But Sister Yuan Xiao, how do you know that woman's name?"

Yuan Xiao half-knelt in front of Zhong Li, looked at Zhong Yang, and then looked at Zhong Li.

Alike!

These two little guys are good-looking, they inherited Li Yang!

She said seriously, "Xiao Li, do you know Fu Yuanping?"

Zhong Li's face changed drastically, "Sister, how do you know the name of that bad guy!"

Wang Yazhi had an impression of the name Fu Yuanping, and was confused for a moment, "Isn't Fu Yuanping in the capital? Why do you know him, Xiao Li?"

Yuan Xiao explained, "Fu Yuanping relied on his power to break their father's legs and robbed Xiao Li and Xiao Yang's mother."

She looked at Zhong Li again, "Xiao Li, what else do you know about Fu Yuanping?"

Zhong Li shook his head. He was still young at the time and didn't remember much.

It was just that everyone in the village said that his mother was disgusted with his father's broken leg and ran away with a powerful man.

He vaguely remembered that his father asked him to call that man Uncle Fu.

But at first, Dad and Uncle Fu were good friends, and he didn't understand why Mom ran away with Uncle Fu.

"I know where your mother is, do you want to see her?"

Zhong Yang was confused, while Zhong Li shook his head firmly, "I don't want to!"

Yuan Xiao sighed in his heart, and only thought about going back to Qushui County after the New Year to find out more.

With He Changlin around, maybe he could know more details.

On New Year's Eve, everyone took a bath and changed into new clothes early.

Yuan Xiao and Wang Yazhi were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner inside, and it started snowing outside, and it gradually got heavier.

Several children outside were chasing and playing, playing snowball fights.

If it were in the past, Yuan Xiao would definitely not be willing to move. In such a cold day, he would have to stay in the quilt to feel comfortable.

But Gu Lanting knew that she was afraid of cold, so the rooms in the courtyard were all equipped with floor heating. Even

if she walked barefoot in the house, she would not feel cold.

Thinking of Gu Lanting, Yuan Xiao's spirit was a little sluggish. He could not go home for the New Year, and it must be very cold outside.

The New Year's Eve dinner was set in the dining room, a large table full of dishes, and everyone's favorite dishes were cooked.

"Go wash your hands, we're having dinner!"

The children ran to the kitchen and put their hands into the washbasin one by one.

Yuan Xiao put the last dish on the table, and the doorbell rang.

She stood up suddenly and ran out.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Professor Wen.

"What's with that expression on your face? I'm an old widower, and I can't come over to have a meal?"

Professor Wen felt very aggrieved, how could she show a disappointed expression.

Yuan Xiao laughed out loud, "That's not what I meant. Just come in. Who can stop you from eating?"

Professor Wen blew his beard and couldn't help complaining.

The whole family was together and they were having a great time.

This was Yuan Xiao's first New Year in the capital, and he hoped things would get better and better.

Yuan Xiao doesn't usually drink much, but she will have a few drinks on holidays when she is happy.

But she can't drink much, and she will get drunk after a few drinks.

She stood up staggeringly, "I'm full, let's go out to see the snow."

Wang Yazhi wrapped her down jacket around her, "If you don't dress properly, you will catch a cold when you wake up tomorrow." Yuan Xiao

put on the hood of her down jacket and walked out staggeringly, drunk and dazed, like an old lady.

She was like a child, hiding under the plum tree.

This plum tree was planted less than a year ago, not very big, but there were many flower buds on it, and it was estimated that it would bloom soon.

She looked up, it was snowing today, there was no moon, and her eyes were a little lonely.

There was no way she could see the same moon as Gu Lanting.

Yuan Xiao squatted in the yard until her feet were numb, and Qin Qin came out at some point.

She stuck her butt out, looking for something on the ground.

Suddenly she picked up something and ran to Yuan Xiao, "Give it to my sister."

Yuan Xiao opened his eyes and saw a plum blossom.

She looked up, "Is it blooming?"

Qin Qin didn't know what she was asking, so she handed the flower to her, "Give it to my sister."

Yuan Xiao took the flower and smacked Qin Qin's cheek, "Thank you, baby."

Qin Qin felt that she had done something great, and smiled with her hands covering her mouth.
