It was almost noon when Ji Chunshan and the others arrived home. The Guo family came at this time and wanted to leave a meal. Ye Qinglan talked with the Guo family in the main room, and Ji Chunshan went to the kitchen to prepare.Fortunately, there are still a lot of different kinds of food prepared for the New Year, and then I used my own bean sprouts, garlic sprouts, and lotus roots to make a few vegetarian dishes. In addition, Ji Chunshan's craftsmanship is good, so I quickly made two The table looks decent and tastes great.

Lunch was still divided into two tables, Zhao Shi, Guo Qiao and Ye Qinglan brought Ji Ningxu in the inner room of the east room, while Ji Chunshan, Guo Fu and Xi You were in the main room.After eating, before Ji Chunshan could do anything, Mrs. Zhao ordered the two servants who came with the car to pack all the dishes into the kitchen, and also cleaned them up.Ji Chunshan was rarely at leisure, so he just sat and talked with Father Guo and Xi You, while Mrs. Zhao took Ye Qinglan and Guo Qiao back to the back room, and whispered.

"...Brother Lan, I just heard from people in this village outside the door that Chunshan used to be a little out of shape and treated you very badly... What's going on?" Mrs. Zhao pulled Ye Qinglan's hand hand, and asked with concern.

Regarding what happened to Ye Qinglan back then, Zhao shi wanted to clarify in her heart, but last night she lay on the bed and thought about it for a long time, but finally pressed this knot in her heart.No matter what happened back then, it was a bad memory for Ye Qinglan, how could she let Ye Qinglan recall those pains for her own selfishness?Therefore, not only herself, but also others, she also told them not to bring up the past again, so as not to make Ye Qinglan feel sad about it.

Besides the first two meetings, she saw that Ye Qinglan was not badly dressed, and his husband-in-law Ji Chunshan was also dignified, humble and polite, and the two of them just met each other's eyebrows, and they could tell that their affection was flowing and they were very affectionate.Although she feels sorry for Ye Qinglan's misfortune, but seeing that he is living in peace and contentment, she feels more or less comforted in her heart, and she is even slightly grateful to Ji Chunshan.But I didn't want to visit today, but I heard the people in Anping village discuss that Ji Chunshan was a rascal in the past, and Ye Qinglan was so tired that he suffered a lot and almost lost his life.

Although she heard those people say later that Ji Chunshan had changed his ways after that, he even sold the land to treat Ye Qinglan's illness, and even wrote the old house he bought back under Ye Qinglan's name, all kinds of things like this , It is enough to show his intention to treat Ye Qinglan kindly, and it can be regarded as Ye Qinglan's hard work.But even after hearing this, Mrs. Zhao was relieved at first, but she still brought it up again. If Ji Chunshan is like that Ye Jinming, she is a golden and jade-like rotten person, but she is not good at anything. To take Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu away.

Ye Qinglan smiled and said to Zhao Shi when she heard the words: "Auntie, Chunshan is very good, and he has always been very good to me. What happened in the past is not his fault, and it has nothing to do with him."

He couldn't tell Mrs. Zhao that Ji Chunshan was no longer the original person. After all, Mrs. Zhao might not believe it, and maybe he would find a doctor to show him his brain, but he didn't want others to use someone who wasn't Ji Chunshan. He was wronged by what he did, so he had no choice but to say so.

"That's true?" Mrs. Zhao still couldn't believe it. After all, Ye Qinglan had only been in Anping Village for a few years, while Ji Chunshan grew up in the village. The villagers are very familiar with him. After Bai said those words, he said again: "Brother Lan, I know you have a good heart, and now I see you and Chunshan are very affectionate, if I used to not say these things, but Chunshan and the others What the villagers said is definitely true, and even if Chunshan looks good now, who can tell in the future? With Ye Jinming in front, I really am now, and I can’t believe anything... ..."

Once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of well ropes, when she thought of being deceived by Ye Jinming for so many years, Zhao felt that not only her eyesight was not good, but her heart was also blind. She hated Ye Jinming, but she also blamed herself , and because of this, she also became suspicious of her own vision of seeing people, especially when it involved Ye Qinglan.If this Ji Chunshan seems to be good to Ye Qinglan now, but who knows if he will be the same as Ye Jinming in the future, he will change his mind at some point, and Ye Qinglan will be better if he suffers.

Ye Qinglan is the most considerate, but he can understand Zhao's worries. Although he can't predict what will happen in the future, but at this moment, he understands his own thoughts very well. No matter what, he doesn't want to, and won't Separated from Ji Chunshan, so he said to Zhao: "Auntie, I understand what you mean, but Chunshan is different from Ye Jinming, he is very good, you don't have to worry."

"You..." Mrs. Zhao could tell that Ye Qinglan was telling the truth. Seeing him like this, she couldn't say anything more. Shaking her head, she had no choice but to say, "Forget it. If you think it's good, then it's fine." After all, now she Knowing Ye Qinglan's residence, she will come and go frequently in the future, if something goes wrong, it's not too late for her to do something then.

In all fairness, she also hopes that Ji Chunshan will not change his mind and treat Ye Qinglan kindly. After all, Ye Qinglan is married now. If she leaves Ji Chunshan with only children, even if she has family property and their care, she will still be happy. He has received a lot of gossip and discussions. If he remarries, there is no guarantee that he will be able to find a person he likes. At least for now, Ji Chunshan is the best choice. He is very considerate and caring for Ye Qinglan. I also like Ji Chunshan, but they are in love with each other, it couldn't be better.

……

In the county town, Guo Lun was followed by two young men who were carrying Ye Jin's annual gift to the Guo family before next year, but they knocked on the door of Ye Jinming's house next door to Xie Yuan's.

Creaking, the door opened, but the person who opened the door was Ye Jinming's wife whom Ye Qinglan and the others had met on the [-]th day, who was holding Ye's mother's jade hairpin, and the second daughter of Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu.She seemed to have just cried, her eyes were red, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Brother Guo?" In the past, on the birthday of Guo's father or Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Liu went to Guo's house with Ye Jinming to congratulate her, so she knew Guo Lun, but Guo Lun had always been indifferent to others. Since she married Ye Jinming, this was the first time. Seeing Guo Lun visiting, I was a little surprised.

As soon as Mrs. Liu opened the door, Guo Lun saw the magnolia hairpin in Mrs. Liu's hair, which was extraordinarily moist and translucent under the warm sunshine, exuding a faint halo. This is Mother Ye's beloved thing. He recognized it very well, and then he remembered that Mrs. Liu had been to the house several times before, but he had never seen Mrs. Liu bring this hairpin.Such a watertight, really good Ye Jinming.

"Is Ye Jinming here?" Guo Lun asked.

"Yes, Brother Guo, please come in." Xiao Liu also knew that Guo Lun must be looking for Ye Jinming, so she stepped back a few steps and let the door open.

Guo Lun entered the door, followed by two young servants, Little Liu saw that they were carrying gifts, but she couldn't help crying again, "Brother Guo, please come to visit, I don't know where the villain came from Beating up Xianggong like that is truly a stroke of lightning."

Mrs. Liu waited for Ye Jinming for a long time last night before returning. Unexpectedly, her nose was bruised and her face was swollen with blood all over her face. It's okay, it's just that it takes a long time to have a good birth, she was relieved, and asked Ye Jinming why he became like this, but Ye Jinming seemed to have hurt his tongue, so he couldn't say anything.She wanted to wait for Ye Jinming's injury to recover and ask why, but after a night, Guo Lun came to the door with a lot of things. She thought that Guo Lun came to visit after knowing the news of Ye Jinming's injury.

After Xiao Liu finished speaking, Guo Lun paused and turned to look at her, "Did you tell Director Liu about Ye Jinming's beating?"

Little Liu didn't want Guo Lun to ask this suddenly, so she was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Not yet, my husband can't speak yet, and I don't know what happened, I have to know what's going on before I can tell my father."

Guo Lun nodded and went straight into the house without saying a word.On the kang in the back room, Ye Jinming was lying face up, with the quilt covering his chin, revealing a round head wrapped like a watermelon, with only a few slits for eyes, mouth and nose.

"Master, wake up, Brother Guo is here to see you." Mrs. Liu walked to the kang and called out to Ye Jinming.

Although Ye Jinming visited the doctor last night, there were no narcotics and painkillers here, so he was in pain all night, and he didn't sleep all night. After a long day, the pain on his face and body was not known whether it was lighter or not. Once he got used to it, he could fall asleep a little bit, and when he closed his eyes for a while, he was woken up. The pain all over his body and the unrelieved drowsiness made him feel irritable and impatient, but when he heard Mrs. Liu say that Guo Lun When he came, he immediately turned his head and looked over. When he met Guo Lun's deep and gloomy gaze, his heart beat heavily. He knew that the thing he was most afraid of was going to coming.

Guo Lun stared at Ye Jinming expressionlessly, but said to Xiao Liu: "Mrs. Ye, I want to have a few words with Ye Jinming alone."

After being stunned for a while, Xiao Liu understood what Guo Lun meant, and said with a quick smile, "Okay, okay, then I'll make tea and you guys talk." Although Guo Lun's tone was a bit weird, Guo Lun didn't It's just a weird person, so she didn't take it to heart, and went out after speaking.

Guo Lun waved to the two attendants behind him again, and the two put down the things in their hands, went out and closed the door behind them, only Guo Lun with a serious face and Bao Bao was left in the room. He couldn't see his face clearly, but he could guess that it must be Ye Jinming who was full of panic.

He stared at Ye Jinming with dark and compelling eyes for a while, Ye Jinming's body under the quilt began to tremble slightly, Guo Lun raised his hand and pointed to the things on the ground, saying: "The old ones are fine, the ones for you are also There is no need for you to send them back, these are the things you sent to the Guo family years ago, and they will be returned in full, and in addition, the Guo family will never let you in again in the future, I hope you will respect yourself in the future."

"Also," before the words were finished, Guo Lun knew that Ye Jinming couldn't speak now, and Guo Lun didn't want to hear what he had to say, and continued: "After you recover from your injuries, return the belongings of Uncle Ye and his wife to Qinglan as soon as possible. You can file a complaint with Mr. Liu about the beating, but I advise you not to do so. After all, if you don’t say anything about it, Mr. Liu treats you, your son-in-law, and your wife and his second daughter. I think you understand too."

"Qinglan is living a very good life now, and he has no intention of causing further troubles, so we will not pursue what you did in the past, but if you think about other things and do unnecessary things, we have to accept If we do anything to you, we are also happy to accompany you. You are a smart person, and I believe you can make the best choice for yourself."

"Ye Jinming, take care of yourself." After saying the last sentence, Guo Lun ignored Ye Jinming who was lying on the kang as dead as a corpse, turned around and left, and only after he walked out the door did he hear a hoarse "Ahhh The sound was like the painful groan of a prisoner whose neck was strangled by a rope before he died.

……

After lunch, Mrs. Zhao and the others sat for more than half an hour before getting up and preparing to leave for the county seat. They had a lot of things when they came, but they didn't leave empty-handed. They took some snacks made by Ji Chunshan. Some, even ordered a few paintings for Ye Qinglan, but even the date of the next visit has been set.

Speaking of which, when Mrs. Zhao and the others first found out that the paintings hanging on the inner wall of the Ji family hall were painted by Ye Qinglan, they were really surprised. Everyone in Fucheng, Xi You, who was quite knowledgeable since he was a child, all praised Ye Qinglan's paintings, saying that he has a bit of character and character, and Ye Qinglan is only in his early twenties, which makes him even more amazing.

Ji Chunshan was a little strange, Ye Qinglan's family was so close to Guo's family, why Guo's father and Zhao's family didn't know it at all, but when Ye Qinglan explained to Zhao's and the others, he finally understood, but it was Ye's mother who didn't know why. Ye Qinglan and Ye's father are not allowed to mention to outsiders that she is good at painting. Not only that, even though she taught Ye Qinglan to paint, she would occasionally paint a picture at random, but after finishing the painting, the ink could not wait until it was dry. The painting was immediately burned.

Although Ye Qinglan loved painting since she was a child, she saw her mother sincerely loved painting, but she was full of taboos, and felt that her painting skills were poor, so she never showed off in front of others, and therefore, Zhao and the others never knew about it. .

Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan led Ji Ningxu all the way to send Mrs. Zhao out of the village, watched them on the main road, and then turned back home.

On the way back, Ji Chunshan thought about the contact with Mrs. Zhao and the others in the past few days, and said: "Aunt Guo and the others, although they have no blood relationship with you, they are more like relatives than blood relatives."

"Yeah, so, God is still good to me." Ye Qinglan smiled and said, not only gave him the members of the Guo family who are not relatives but relatives, but also the one around him who appeared in his world so suddenly, taking him from The person who pulled out from the nightmare of the abyss and made him feel alive again is a very good thing.

Although God took away a lot of things from him, for the sake of sending him people around him, he no longer blames him.

On the other side, Mrs. Zhao and the others returned to the county seat and entered the house. Guo Lun had already returned from Ye Jinming's house and was waiting for them.

"How is the Ji family?" Guo Lun asked after Mrs. Zhao and the others entered the room and took their seats.

Mrs. Zhao took a sip of tea and said, "It's okay. The house of Ji's family is very grand. Although it was built in the countryside, it is better than ordinary houses in the county. It is spacious and bright. The main house is also divided. The front and back rooms, the outer room with kang for sleeping in winter, and the inner room for sleeping in summer, are very thoughtful. I took a closer look at the furniture at home. Although the materials are average, they are all new. I heard from Brother Lan that there are still a few more. The fresh ones haven’t been delivered yet. Even the kitchen I went to have a look. There are many good things. I feel that they are better than our own food. It can be considered that Chunshan has a heart. It’s just..."

Mrs. Zhao said a lot in one breath, with a smile on her face at the beginning, Guo Lun listened quietly, nodding from time to time, but at the end Mrs. Zhao smiled lightly, a little hesitant to speak. , Guo Lun frowned slightly, and said, "Just how?"

Mrs. Zhao looked up at her eldest son before saying, "When we arrived at Anping Village, we heard quite a few villagers say that Chunshan was not very good in the past. Brother Lan seems to have suffered a lot. I asked Brother Lan, but he only said no, and told me not to worry, but how could I not be worried. If Ji Chunshan changed his mind like Ye Jinming in the future, wouldn’t Brother Lan suffer again? Of course he would We are here, and we will definitely help him, but if that day really comes, brother Lan is a person who doesn't want to trouble others, how can he live a peaceful life alone with the child, if you find another marriage for him, But it's not so easy to find a reliable person..."

"I'll marry." Before Zhao's words were finished, Guo Lun suddenly uttered two words, which shocked everyone present.

"...What, what?" Mrs. Zhao stuttered at the words of her eldest son.

Guo Lun remained expressionless, and spoke again, but there were two more words than the previous sentence, "I marry brother Lan."

Now everyone could hear clearly, but they were even more shocked and speechless.

"Brother, it turns out that you actually treat Brother Lan..." Guo Qiao jumped up suddenly after being dazed for a moment, and suddenly realized: "No wonder, no wonder, no wonder you have been unwilling to marry a wife, so you have been thinking about it all the time. Brother Lan!"

"Lun'er, you..." Zhao stared.

Father Guo opened his mouth in shock and was speechless.

"Brother..." Xi You shook his head with emotion.But they all thought as Guo Qiao said.

Guo Lun will be 26 after Chinese New Year this year. In this place of early marriage and early childbearing, most people at his age can make soy sauce for their children, but he has not even married a wife.In fact, as the son of Guolun County School of Education and his status as a scholar, it can be said that there is no one who is not worthy of him in the entire Fangcheng County. It stands to reason that it should not be difficult to marry a wife, but whenever Zhao said that he would tell him For marriage, he said that he should concentrate on studying and has no intention of marrying a wife. If Mrs. Zhao insists, Guo Lun will act like I don’t want to, but you are an elder. If you want to be a son, you don’t dare to disobey. You can decide The attitude made Mrs. Zhao, although anxious, never dare to make an engagement, after all, it is a matter of a lifetime, for fear of marrying a daughter-in-law who does not like her son, which will cause disharmony between the husband and wife, and estrangement between mother and child.

But I didn't expect that today I heard from Guo Lun that he offered to marry someone, but he was already married and the husband and wife were very loving.Thinking about it this way, everyone looked at Guo Lun with a little sympathy and emotion.They have automatically imagined that Guo Lun had admired Ye Qinglan since he was a child, but because of his only child status, he could only bear with it, and only cared for and protected Ye Qinglan as a brother. They didn't want Ye Qinglan to be framed by a villain, lost her virginity and remarried, which made Guo Lun regret for life.

Guo Lun could see the obvious expressions of everyone, but he couldn't maintain his indifferent expression in the end. He frowned and said, "I regard Brother Lan as my younger brother, don't think too much about it."

"Then why do you..." Zhao couldn't help asking, if her son really treated Brother Lan...and now Brother Lan...she wanted to cry again.

"I'm going to marry sooner or later, it doesn't matter who I marry, if it can help brother Lan get out of trouble, why not?" Guo Lun said.

As he said, he has always regarded Ye Qinglan as his younger brother, and he has no other thoughts. He will marry a wife sooner or later, and he doesn't have any sweethearts, so it's not a good idea to marry Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan will never suffer again when he comes to their house , It can be said to have the best of both worlds, he felt that his idea couldn't be better.

At this time, Mrs. Zhao understood what Guo Lun meant, but shook her head, smiled helplessly, and said, "Son, you are really stupid in reading and studying. If you want to marry, will Brother Lan be willing to marry you? Are you If the only son of our family only wants to give Brother Lan a safe place to live, what about the heirs, you can still be with Brother Lan..."

After a pause, and bypassing the inappropriate words, Zhao went on to say: "I know your heart is good, but you don't know Brother Lan's temperament. Since he has no intention of treating you, he will not I agreed to this matter. Besides, there may not be that day, it’s just my own wild imagination. Brother Lan and Chun Shan are doing well now. You are not allowed to say anything about what you said today. It would be bad if Chun Shan knew about it. Yes, you too, remember?" Finally, Mrs. Zhao told the others in the room again.

Guo Qiao and Xi You hurriedly nodded and said yes, Guo Lun was told by Mrs. Zhao, although he also nodded, but his face was pensive, and only he knew what was going on in his mind.
