Goddess please don't flirt
Chapter 24
Chef Yuan Ying, with He Moqian as the assistant, and the three young ones in charge of serving the dishes, Chu Fanxi would reach out to steal food from time to time to make jokes, and was taught by Milin's ears, Shen Siwei was so teased that she covered her mouth and giggled, and He Moqian had a relaxed expression To expand, except for the days when she lived with her parents and brother, how long has it been since she felt such a lively home-like atmosphere?During Chinese New Year, Chinese New Year is only when you are with your family.
Chu Fanxi took advantage of Yuan Ying and He Moqian's cooking time to go out and buy beer and drinks. When the meal was served, several people also took their seats. She poured orange juice for Shen Siwei, filled the others with beer one by one, and raised their glasses first. Said: "Thank you Sister Ying and Sister He for making a table of dishes! The Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's put aside any unhappy things, and celebrate the New Year happily! I wish Weiwei grow up quickly, and I wish Xiaomi more and more beautiful!"
Mi Lin also cheerfully raised his wine glass, "Chuchu, you idiot finally said something human!"
"Hey hey hey..."
He Moqian thanked with a smile, raised the glass to clink glasses with Chu Fanxi, but Yuan Ying drank the beer in her glass first, and poured half a glass of orange juice into it, "You have a bad stomach, stop drinking."
"Uh... Sister He, you can't drink? I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Chu Fanxi apologized again and again, and looked at Mi Lin with a sneer, "Xiaomi, I seem to have screwed up again..."
"..." Xiaomi said that he was used to it.
"It's okay to drink less." He Moqian raised the half glass of orange juice, and everyone clinked glasses and said auspicious words. It really felt like a family having a New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve.
Shen Siwei has stayed at her aunt's house for a long time, and some habits can't be changed in a short while, and she is still very timid in such a crowded place, she keeps silent at the dinner table, keeps her head on the table, and doesn't eat vegetables, but fortunately, there is no... Qian paid attention, adding some vegetables to her bowl from time to time, "This is the cola chicken wings made by sister Yuan, Weiwei try it."
Yuan Ying corrected: "It's not Sister Yuan, it's Aunt Yuan." She put a piece of braised pork ribs into He Moqian's bowl, "Ah Qian, you can try my cooking too."
He Moqian said politely, "Thank you."
At this time, Shen Siwei, who was eating silently, suddenly raised her head, "Aunt Yuan, the dishes you cook are really delicious."
Chu Fanxi wolfed down the food, before she could swallow the food in her mouth, she nodded in agreement: "Yes, sister Ying! Your cooking is so delicious! It's even better than my mother's!"
A small smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Ying's mouth, and she gently patted Shen Siwei's shoulder, "Good boy, Auntie will often do it for Weiwei in the future."
"Miss Ying, you are biased! I want to eat too!"
"Shut up and eat!" Milin lightly tapped the back of Chu Fanxi's hand with his chopsticks.
Chu Fanxi retorted weakly: "Shut up...how can you eat if you shut up..."
Everyone laughed, and the small apartment was warm.
After eating and clearing the table, Chu Fanxi and Milin played games with Shen Siwei. He Moqian went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. Yuan Ying wanted to help, but He Moqian stopped him, "Don't touch the water if your hand hurts. ,Let me do it."
Yuan Ying leaned against the kitchen doorframe, "Ah Qian, I'm really afraid that I'm dreaming now."
He Moqian devoted himself to washing the dishes, and Yuan Ying said again: "Ah Qian, it's a good day like this. The two of us cook together, wash the dishes and raise the children. You go to work in the morning, and I will send the children to school. In the evening, we go home and have dinner together. Then help Weiwei to do her homework, live slowly day by day, watching Weiwei grow into a beautiful big girl, get married, have children, and then the two of us grow old together..."
He Moqian shuddered when he heard the words "grow old together". How could he not think about it before he could grow old together with Yuan Ying?
We won't grow old together, He Moqian thought while wiping the plate, we will grow old independently without any relationship.Although it is still impossible to get rid of Yuan Ying, He Moqian will never be entangled with her forever, it's too scary.
He Moqian has been waiting for Yuan Ying's moth, but he has not waited for a day. Yuan Ying ate a meal in a regular manner, and left with Chu Fanxi Milin in the afternoon.Really just a meal?After being gone for a long time, He Moqian still couldn't believe it.
After they left, only He Moqian and Shen Siwei were left in the house again. It was deserted. Shen Siwei didn't even play games by herself, and sat on the sofa with He Moqian in a daze.
Shen Siwei said: "It would be great if Aunt Yuan and sisters could come every day."
"Does Weiwei like them?" He Moqian asked.
"Well! Aunt Yuan is very gentle, they are all good people!" After Shen Siwei finished speaking, she was afraid that He Moqian would be unhappy, so she added in a low voice: "But Weiwei likes Aunt Qian the most, and Aunt Qian is the best..."
"good."
Yuan Ying and his party left the gate of the community, and Chu Fanxi said, "Sister Ying, are you relieved now? Sister He has a place to go during the Chinese New Year, and Weiwei is quite sensible."
Yuan Ying said: "Fan Xi, Xiaomi, thank you for asking you to accompany me on this trip today."
Chu Fanxi waved his hand: "Sister Ying, what are you saying to thank us? But you give the house to Sister He and Weiwei, where do you live? You won't be staying in a hotel for the New Year's Eve?"
Milin continued: "Yes, yes, Sister Ying, for the New Year's Eve, Sister He and Weiwei are also deserted. It just so happens that you celebrate the New Year with them? There is also a care."
Yuan Ying smiled and said: "I have a sense of propriety, you celebrate the New Year well, don't worry about me." She also wanted to spend the New Year with He Moqian, but she was afraid that He Mo would never agree.
Milin struggled for a long time, and asked, "Sister Ying, there are some things that we shouldn't care about, but you and Sister He... a relationship is not easy, what happened to you to get to this point?"
"The matter between me and her is too complicated, and I can't explain it for a while, but this time I will chase her back, and I will."
Chu Fanxi bluffed as if she had been beaten into chicken blood: "That's great, Miss Ying! Come on! We all support you!"
……
On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, He Moqian took Shen Siwei to buy new clothes for the New Year, and bought some New Year's goods and ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner.Red lanterns were hung up on the street, merchants also posted New Year pictures and couplets one after another, there were a lot of people shopping on the New Year’s Street, it was the first time for Shen Siwei to go shopping with He Moqian, holding He Moqian’s hand tightly excitedly, I'm afraid I'll get separated from He Moqian.When they came back from shopping in big and small bags, Shen Siwei's face was still flushed when she entered the community, "Aunt Qian, let's spend the New Year together every year from now on, okay?"
"Okay, Aunt Qian will be with Weiwei every Chinese New Year in the future."
He Moqian led Shen Siwei back happily. As soon as he arrived at the stairs, he saw a woman sitting cross-legged at the door. She was concentrating on playing with her mobile phone. care.
Shen Siwei saw the man's eyes light up, "Aunt Yuan!"
Yuan Ying raised her head and smiled at them, "Aqian, Weiwei, you are back."
He Moqian knew that Yuan Ying had something wrong.
"What are you doing here?"
"The key of my house is broken in the lock." Yuan Ying raised the key with only the handle left, and looked at He Moqian with watery eyes, "The master who repaired the lock has returned home for the New Year, and I can't enter the house."
He Moqian looked at her condescendingly, without speaking.
"My wallet is locked at home, and I have no money to stay in a hotel." As she said that, Yuan Ying turned out her pocket and showed it to He Moqian. It was clean and contained nothing.
"Ah Qian..." Yuan Ying patted her buttocks and got up, and rubbed her face in front of He Moqian shyly, "It's very pitiful for me to sleep on the street alone... Weiwei, don't you?"
Shen Siwei nodded sympathetically, "Yes, yes, Aunt Qian, shall we let Aunt Yuan stay?"
He Moqian's face was ashen.
Shen Siwei was frightened, and tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Aunt Qian..."
He Moqian sighed resignedly, "Come in."
"Ah Qian, you are so kind!" Yuan Ying happily followed He Moqian into the house, and Shen Siwei also cheered: "Thank you, Aunt Qian!"
He Moqian couldn't figure out how Yuan Ying was so destined to be a child, and Shen Siwei treated her like this just as soon as she saw her.
There is only one bedroom in the apartment, He Moqian sleeps on the same bed with Shen Siwei, and Yuan Ying consciously sleeps on the sofa.Yuan Ying is a few centimeters taller than He Moqian, with long hands and long feet, and the sofa in the living room is very narrow. She has no place to put her hands and feet in it, and is covered with a quilt pitifully.
The sofa in the living room was facing the door of the bedroom, Shen Siwei was sitting on the bed drinking milk, Yuan Ying huddled in the sofa and said loudly: "Good night, Aqian, good night, Weiwei." The voice sounded happy.
Shen Siwei bit the straw and said in distress: "Aunt Qian, Aunt Yuan looks so pitiful, the sofa is so small, will she fall off at night when she sleeps? And the quilt is not thick, what should I do if Aunt Yuan catches a cold? My aunt said before , you can’t get sick during Chinese New Year, once you get sick, you will be sick for a whole year!”
"Does Weiwei feel sorry for Aunt Yuan?" He Moqian was secretly jealous with Yuan Ying. In just one day, his daughter was more towards her than towards him. Would it be okay to let her stay a few more days?
Shen Siwei was used to watching words and expressions since she was a child, and felt that He Moqian's face was not right, so she immediately shook her head, "No! Aunt Qian, don't be angry! Let's go to bed, and ignore Aunt Yuan!" As she said this, she kept looking into the living room worriedly.
Forget it, let someone as big as Yuan Ying sleep on such a small sofa. It's really inhumane. Anyway, the bed is big enough. He Moqian turned to the living room and said, "Go, call your Auntie Yuan to sleep with us." .”
"Okay!" Shen Siwei jumped off the bed, and hurriedly pulled Yuan Ying into the bedroom with her bare feet, "Aunt Yuan, you don't need to sleep on the sofa! Aunt Qian said the three of us will sleep together!"
Yuan Ying's eyes bent into two crescents, hugged Shen Siwei and kissed her hard, "Thank you Weiwei! Auntie likes you so much!"
"Weiwei also likes Aunt Yuan!" Shen Siwei said with a chuckle, the fragrance on Aunt Yuan's body is really nice.
"Okay, okay, go to bed." He Moqian took Shen Siwei from Yuan Ying's arms with a face, "What time is it? Does Weiwei still want to grow up?"
"Think! Weiwei will grow as tall as Aunt Qian!"
"Then go to sleep." He Moqian put Shen Siwei in the middle of the bed, pressed her quilt tightly, Yuan Ying turned off the headlight, and there was only a small lamp on in the bedroom.
"Go to sleep too." He Moqian said lying on Shen Siwei's side.
"Good night, Ah Qian." Yuan Ying turned off the desk lamp, and slowly got into bed in the darkness.
Shen Siwei was tired from playing during the day, and soon fell asleep, snoring softly, Yuan Ying whispered to the ceiling, "Ah Qian, thank you for taking me in."
"Don't thank me, thank you Weiwei for being kind." If only He Moqian was alone, even Yuan Yingshui wouldn't take a second look at her on the street.
Yuan Ying chuckled: "You have not corrected your knife mouth and tofu heart for so many years."
After a while, He Moqian's breathing gradually calmed down, and he also fell into a deep sleep.
Yuan Ying thought, if a wife and children are hot on the kang, having these three things is really better than anything else.She turned sideways, stretched out her long arms, and hugged her child and wife into her arms.
......
Fireworks and firecrackers are usually prohibited in city S, but they can be set off in the suburbs from New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival. The community where He Moqian temporarily lives is not only in the suburbs, but also in an old-fashioned community. The sound of firecrackers has not stopped since six o'clock in the morning Pass.Shen Siwei was so dazed that she couldn't sleep because of the noise, she hummed and groaned and burrowed into He Moqian's arms, He Moqian closed her eyes tightly and hugged Shen Siwei, her head was buried in the bed.
Yuan Ying got up lightly, boiled a pot of white rice porridge, and cooked a few side dishes to accompany the porridge. At 07:30, she went to the bedroom to have a look. , like a small animal that hibernates in winter.She lifted the quilt and kissed He Moqian on the ear, "Ah Qian, get up and have breakfast."
He Moqian stretched, before he opened his eyes, he shook his mouth to wake Shen Siwei up, "Weiwei, wake up, go to bed early and get up early to be healthy."
Yuan Ying was delighted to hear this, why is this man so cute in a daze.
The mother and daughter sat up from the bed in unison, put on slippers, staggered to the bathroom to wash their face and brush their teeth, even the movements of spitting foam were very consistent, if it wasn't for Shen Siwei's age, Yuan Ying really thought she was He Moqian biological daughter.
On New Year's Eve, according to the tradition, it is necessary to post Spring Festival couplets and set off firecrackers, but the house belongs to Chu Fanxi. Xi couldn't explain it, so she didn't buy it, but she bought a lot of firecrackers. For Chinese New Year, just to create an atmosphere, how could there be no fireworks.
After breakfast, Shen Siwei stared nervously at the fireworks on the TV cabinet. In the past, her aunt often took her younger brother to set off the fireworks. Every time the younger brother came back, she was happy. This time she finally had the ability to take her. People who set off fireworks.Shen Siwei was so excited that she wished that time would pass faster, even faster.But both He Moqian and Yuan Ying were busy processing ingredients to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner, so she didn't dare to disturb them, so she had to sit by the TV cabinet with a small stool, looking very devout.
Yuan Ying passed by the living room and saw Shen Siwei's eager eyes, "Does Weiwei want to set off a firecracker?" She asked.
Shen Siwei said: "I don't want to, Auntie, you should do your work first."
Yuan Ying squatted beside her and said, "Weiwei, in the future, if you think about it, say you want it, and if you don't want it, say you don't want it. We are a family, and family members don't need to hide it, understand?"
"Understood, auntie, we are a family." Shen Siwei smiled shyly.
Yuan Ying pinched her little face, and greeted He Moqian who was busy in the kitchen, "Ah Qian, let's take Weiwei to set off the fireworks? We'll pack those things when we come back."
"You guys go." He Moqian was handling the whole silver carp, "Remember to take Weiwei out for lunch, there's no time to do it at noon."
"how about you?"
"Me? There's still half a pot of porridge in the morning, enough for me."
"No." Yuan Ying snatched He Moqianxiyu's basin, "Weiwei definitely hopes you can go together." She asked Shen Siwei: "Weiwei, don't you?"
"En!" Shen Siwei said: "Aunt Qian, shall we go to set off the fireworks? I want you to go together."
Facing Shen Siwei's expectant eyes, He Moqian compromised, "Okay, Weiwei goes to change clothes, and let's set off the fireworks."
There is nothing to watch when setting off fireworks during the day, and you can’t see the colorful fireworks exploding in the sky, but Shen Siwei is still very happy. She leans beside Yuan Ying and watches Yuan Ying light the fuse with a cigarette butt. Wei straightened her neck but didn't see where the explosion happened.
He Moqian stood far away, watching the two of them having fun, and had no intention of getting involved at all.
Yuan Ying ordered two fairy sticks for Shen Siwei, the kind of small firework sticks that could be held in the hands and sizzled. Shen Siwei handed one to He Moqian, and He Moqian subconsciously dodged it. Turning pale in an instant, she forced a smile and said, "Weiwei can play by herself, Aunt Qian won't."
Just at this moment, several children from the courtyard came up, and Yuan Ying handed out fireworks sticks to them one by one, and asked Shen Siwei to lead them to play. After a group of children walked away, Yuan Ying asked: "What's wrong? Isn't it?" uncomfortable?"
"No." He Moqian shook his head, "Yuan Ying, thank you for bringing Weiwei to play."
He Moqian herself is a person who is not good at dealing with children. She can take good care of Shen Siwei's food and clothing, but it is Yuan Ying's credit that Shen Siwei can make so many friends immediately. The children played together, and He Moqian was very happy from the bottom of his heart.
"What are you talking about? Weiwei is such a good child, anyone would like it." Yuan Ying changed the subject, "Aqian, are you afraid?"
"Me? What am I afraid of?"
"You know it in your heart."
He Moqian was indeed afraid. She was afraid of fireworks, firecrackers, and the sizzling sound they made when they ignited the fuses. These sounds always reminded her of the fire, of the dead chairman Yuan who tried his best to push her out of the sea of flames, and of the raging fire. The burning wooden door crashed down towards her... To this day, when He Moqian thinks of this, the wound on his body still burns and hurts.
"Ah Qian, what happened that night? Are you still unwilling to tell me?"
He Moqian sneered, "What's there to say? I stole the information, and I set the fire. It has been concluded many years ago. What do you mean by it now?"
"Then you set yourself on fire and burned yourself? Ah Qian, your injuries can't fool anyone." But He Moqian was not taken to the hospital by ambulance. There was chaos that night, and He Moqian was never found at the scene. Ying didn't even know that He Moqian was also injured, and so badly.
What do you say?He Moqian thought, the inexplicable fire, the sudden accident, he was already in the hospital when he woke up, his whole body was wrapped up like a mummy, and he lay motionless in the hospital for several months, the first thing he did when he was discharged from the hospital was to be buried. Arrested, saying she was a suspect.He Moqian didn't know anything, so he became a criminal suspect without any reason. What did Yuan Ying ask her to say?
"Why didn't you appeal?" Yuan Ying asked again, "If you didn't do it, why didn't you appeal?"
He Moqian resolutely said: "Because I did it! Yuan Ying, watch carefully, I am the one who killed your father and bankrupted your family!"
She closed her eyes, paused, and said tiredly: "Yuan Ying, it's not easy to pass the new year. I don't want to quarrel with you. Let's not mention this. Let's live the new year quietly?" This is He Moqian's release from prison In the first new year after that, she didn't want to make her life difficult even for a year because of Yuan Ying.
"I'm sorry." Yuan Ying held her shoulder guiltily, "You don't like fireworks, then let's go home."
He Moqian avoided physical contact with Yuan Ying, "You can play with Weiwei for a while, she likes to play, thank you."
Looking at He Moqian's leaving back, Yuan Ying scolded herself fiercely in her heart, and finally had a happy atmosphere, why is she so blind to see?This is all right, it's all destroyed, and it falls short.
As soon as He Moqian left, Yuan Ying lost her interest. She sat on the garden table in the community and watched Shen Siwei play with a few children. She checked the time, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and she wanted to call Cheng Qiuyi. We have been friends for many years, and it is unreasonable not to offer condolences.
The phone rang several times before it was connected, and Cheng Qiuyi's lazy and impatient voice came from the receiver, "Aying, why are you so crazy if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"
Yuan Ying said: "It's only less than three o'clock in the afternoon, Qiu Yi, which one of us is crazy?"
She heard a slight ringing in the handset, and then Cheng Qiuyi said: "Have you returned to China? When did you come back?"
"I came back on Christmas and have been in City S." Yuan Ying didn't tell her that she had already returned in early December, and found the person she had been thinking about all along.
"Okay, Ah Ying, happy new year."
"Happy New Year, Qiuyi."
The two hung up the phone tacitly.
Yuan Ying could hear that Cheng Qiuyi's voice was very lonely, she didn't understand why, Cheng Qiuyi already had Liu Shuhan, why did she still sound so lonely, not angry at all, but she didn't ask.She and Cheng Qiu are also friends, and they both maintain a tacit relationship that if you don't tell me, I won't ask.They are all proud people in their bones. Since Cheng Qiu didn't say anything, it means that she didn't want her to know, just like she didn't tell her about He Moqian.
Yuan Ying also wanted to ask Cheng Qiuyi, if she hurt someone, what should she do to mend the wound in that person's heart.When the words came to his mouth, he felt ridiculous and swallowed them back.Every love affair is different. This kind of thing is like knowing how warm and cold the drinking water is. You can only figure it out by yourself. How can others help you.
"Aunt Yuan, where's Aunt Qian?" Shen Siwei was tired from playing, so she ran back to Yuan Ying and asked.
Yuan Ying wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Weiwei, Auntie has made your Auntie Qian unhappy, after Weiwei returns later, help Auntie coax Auntie Qian and make her happy, okay?"
"Why is Aunt Qian unhappy?"
"Because..." Yuan Ying sighed, "Because I hurt her."
Although Yuan's father repeatedly told her that she was not allowed to investigate, but now Yuan Ying must investigate, not only to give herself an explanation, but also to give He Moqian an explanation, and there is a little possibility of redemption between them .
After going back, He Moqian didn't show any abnormality. As she said, it's been a difficult year, and she doesn't want to be disturbed by other things.
There was a gala show on the TV, the three of them were having a New Year's Eve dinner inside, and the firecrackers were rumbling outside. This year finally passed in a decent way.
After dinner, He Moqian wrapped Shen Siwei's New Year's money in a red envelope and put it under the pillow, silently making a wish in his heart, hoping that in the coming year, Shen Siwei would be fatter, taller, healthy and happy. Jie's company works well, has a stable job, can give Shen Siwei a better life, and doesn't need to rely on other people's charity. I hope... I hope I can get rid of Yuan Ying and never see her again.
These two days, He Moqian and Yuan Ying got along fairly well. First, she wanted to have a good time. Second, she couldn't even quarrel with Yuan Ying. The past is a foregone conclusion. Means nothing.
In the early years, He Moqian was still a little bit hopeful, but later he finally realized that it was impossible for her and Yuan Ying, so what if Yuan Ying found out the truth?It is impossible for Father Yuan to be resurrected, and it is impossible for her ten years to start from scratch.Besides, even He Moqian himself was confused about the truth, and until now he hadn't figured out who had the deepest hatred against him and had to put her to death. After so many years, the evidence back then was gone, even if Yuan Ying wanted to investigate , how does she check?
If you can leave, let's leave, He Moqian thought, take Shen Siwei to hide far away, it is best that Yuan Ying will never be found.
......
The restaurant officially opened on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Siwei had a short winter vacation, and she had to go back to school officially on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. In the afternoon of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, He Moqian and Shen Siwei packed Shen Siwei's luggage. Aunt Qian was also reluctant to part with Aunt Yuan, and both mother and daughter were frowning.
"Aunt Qian, I don't want to go to school." Shen Siwei buried herself in He Moqian's waist and acted like a baby.
"Don't talk nonsense." He Moqian cheered up and taught her, "Weiwei, you have to study hard, and you will be worthy of your mother when you are promising in the future, you know?"
"But Aunt Qian, I can't bear to part with you." Shen Siwei said aggrievedly, "After going to school, will I see Aunt Qian after the summer vacation?"
"No, Weiwei studies hard, I will visit you whenever I have time."
Leaning against the door frame and watching the mother and daughter bid farewell, Yuan Ying had an idea, and suddenly said: "Weiwei, why don't you live on campus, how about living with your aunt Qian?"
He Moqian said: "Weiwei, don't listen to her nonsense. The environment where Aunt Qian lives is not good. She can't take you to live with her. She will pick you up when she settles down."
"How about living with me, Weiwei? Auntie takes you to and from school every day. It will never delay your studies, and I can often see your aunt Qian."
Shen Siwei looked at He Moqian pleadingly, but He Moqian refused mercilessly, "No, don't you need to work?"
"Me?" Yuan Ying shrugged indifferently, "I resigned last year, and now I am jobless."
"Ah? Aunt Yuan, you don't have a job? Then how do you support yourself?" Shen Siwei asked worriedly.
"In this world, you don't have to go to work every day to be called a job." Yuan Ying sat on the bedside and explained to Shen Siwei, "Stocks, futures, and bonds can all make money. This is called money making money, does Weiwei understand?"
Shen Siwei nodded half-understanding, and He Moqian reprimanded: "Enough is enough for you, Yuan Ying, don't give my daughter such incorrect values." Speculation in stock futures is extremely risky, and a little carelessness is He Moqian didn't want Shen Siwei to be infected with the bankruptcy of his family.
"Why is it incorrect?" Yuan Ying dissatisfied, "Is it illegal to speculate in stocks? Is it illegal to speculate in futures? Ah Qian, you are biased! You are..."
He Moqian gave her a gouged look, Yuan Ying's unspoken words dropped down, and she didn't know what she was muttering.
After packing up, Yuan Ying drove He Moqian and Shen Siwei to the school, saying it was to repay them for taking them in. He Moqian told the left and right at the school gate, "Weiwei, take good care of yourself at school, if someone bullies you Just tell the teacher, if the teacher doesn’t help you, just tell Aunt Qian, you know?”
"Eat more fruits, drink milk on time, study is secondary, health is important, if you don't have enough money, tell Aunt Qian, don't treat yourself badly."
"and also……"
Yuan Ying interrupted: "Okay, Ah Qian, Weiwei is fifteen, she will take care of herself, don't worry about me seeing her for you every day?"
Shen Siwei also continued: "Don't worry, Aunt Qian, I will take good care of myself and grow as tall as you!"
"Good boy, go, you should be late for evening self-study."
"Well! Goodbye, Aunt Qian, and Aunt Yuan!" Shen Siwei disappeared into the back-to-school crowd with her schoolbag on her back.
On the way back, Yuan Ying couldn't help teasing, "Ah Qian, don't tell me, you really look like a mother. If you don't know, you really think Weiwei is your daughter."
"She is my daughter." He Moqian looked forward. Her life was given by Weiwei's mother, Liu Rui. Without Liu Rui, there would be no He Moqian. Liu Rui entrusted her daughter to her before she died. Shen Siwei is He Moqian's own daughter.
"Weiwei's biological mother..."
"She's dead." He Moqian said lightly, "Breast cancer is at an advanced stage."
Yuan Ying fell silent, and asked after a while: "When did you go?"
"Ten years ago."
It was ten years ago again, that year was really a disaster year, and all the bad things happened in that year.
"Does Vivi know?"
"I know." He Moqian said, "She has the right to know about her biological mother."
Back at the apartment, He Moqian hurriedly packed his luggage and said goodbye to Yuan Ying, "I'm leaving. If you want to live here, I'll tell Fan Xi. If you don't want to live here, return the key to Fan Xi." She wanted to say goodbye to Yuan Ying, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. In all fairness, she didn't want to see this woman again.
"Ah Qian!" Yuan Ying called to stop her.
He Moqian turned back, "Is there anything else?"
"I'm very happy to be able to celebrate the New Year with you again."
He Moqian smiled politely, "Take care."
After He Moqian left, Yuan Ying lay on the big double bed, hugging the quilt and inhaling greedily, the breath of He Moqian still remained on the quilt.But everyone is gone, and probably this smell will dissipate soon.
In the arson case ten years ago, Yuan's building was bought and rebuilt. Yuan Ying was really not sure where to start the investigation.
Speaking of which, the key piece of evidence for He Moqian's conviction was the surveillance video of the reference room that night. No one entered or left the reference room except He Moqian that night, and the time she went out coincided with the time of the fire. The fingerprints of He Moqian were also on the tools found at the scene. If it was a coincidence, it would be too coincidental.
Where do we start?
Yuan Ying had a flash of inspiration and remembered a person.
She jumped up from the bed, just at that moment Zhuang Jie's phone call came.
"Zhuang Jie, just in time, I'm looking for you! Help me find someone!" "Yuan Ying, I have a clue to what you asked me to investigate!"
The two spoke in unison.
"What clue?" "Who?"
Again in unison.
Yuan Ying smiled, "Zhuang Jie, you go first."
"In the fire ten years ago, besides the master, Miss Biao and He Moqian, there was only one other person in the Yuan family."
Yuan Ying said: "Yuan's security guard."
"That's right. At the beginning, the security guard insisted that he had been in the surveillance room. He saw He Moqian arguing with the master, and then saw He Moqian quietly enter the reference room. After He Moqian came out, a fire broke out. If He Moqian really If you are wronged, then it proves..."
"Prove that the security guard was bribed and lied."
"Yes." Zhuang Jie hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "But if the security guard really lied, the only possible murderer at the scene is... Miss Biao."
Wang Yishi and Yuan Ying narrowed their eyes, her mind was full of half of her face destroyed by the fire, "Father told me before he died, let me take good care of Yishi."
Zhuang Jie thought it was ridiculous, "Yuan Ying, do you really think Miss Biao would risk her own face and set fire to her? What's her motive?"
"It's too early to draw conclusions, Zhuang Jie, you must find out where the security guard went after that, no matter what method you use, you must let him tell the truth!"
"Don't worry, I have already found out the current address of the security guard, and he should be found soon if there is no accident."
"Thank you, Zhuang Jie." Yuan Ying said, "By the way, you sent me the original surveillance video."
"Okay, but what do you want it for?"
"See if you can find any clues."
Yuan Ying said again: "There is one more thing to ask you, it's about He Moqian..."

"Madam proprietress, happy Chinese New Year." He Moqian greeted the proprietress refreshedly on the first day of working in the restaurant.
The proprietress became more mellow after a new year, and said beamingly: "Okay, hello everyone! By the way, I brought back a lot of local eggs and cured fish and bacon. You can take some over later. They are all good things. You can’t buy it with money in the city!”
"Miss Boss," He Moqian couldn't laugh or cry, "I have no place to do it after you gave it to me, wouldn't it be spoiled if I took it back?"
The proprietress also thought about it, "Then you bring some grapefruits back home, the grapefruits specially pulled from the south are very sweet!"
He Moqian replied: "Thank you, lady boss."
The owner and the proprietress of the restaurant are both good people, He Moqian was a little embarrassed to say that he was going to leave, he thought about it, and finally brought it up when he was about to get off work, "Madam proprietress, I want to tell you something."
The proprietress was reconciling the account and asked without raising her head, "What's the matter?"
"It's just that after this month, I may not do it."
"No?" The proprietress raised her head, "Then where are you going?"
He Moqian blushed, "I... I found a new job in Hedong, lady boss, I'm so sorry."
"There's nothing to be sorry about!" The proprietress was happy for her, "Xiao He, work hard! You are still young and have a bright future! When you came, I could see that you are a cultured person, and it is impossible for you to give people as servers."
He Moqian said gratefully: "Miss Boss, thank you for taking me in these few months." When she first came out, she only had a few hundred dollars with her. It was the lady boss who took her in and gave her a job to support herself. Chu Fanxi and Milin, although these two girls are young, they are both optimistic and kind-hearted children.Without them, He Moqian might not be able to make it this far, let alone find Shen Siwei, and live a good year with peace of mind.
"Thank you, I'll pay, you work for me, it's normal." The proprietress laughed heartily, "Xiao He, I will never find such a good helper after you leave, don't forget the eldest sister Come back and have a look when you have time, and play with Fan Xi and Xiaomi."
"Don't worry, I will never forget you!"
He Moqian rekindled hope for life. She is no longer young, and it is not easy to have another chance. He Moqian does not have the grand ambitions of being 20 years old. She just wants to learn new knowledge and work hard. Being able to provide Shen Siwei with a good living environment can bring her life back on track.
He Moqian wants her parents to know that although she was dazzled by love when she was young and ignorant, she is not a waste, and she can still do something by herself.
When the job is stable, let's go home and have a look, see parents, brother, and little nephew that he has never met, He Moqian thought.
Chu Fanxi took advantage of Yuan Ying and He Moqian's cooking time to go out and buy beer and drinks. When the meal was served, several people also took their seats. She poured orange juice for Shen Siwei, filled the others with beer one by one, and raised their glasses first. Said: "Thank you Sister Ying and Sister He for making a table of dishes! The Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's put aside any unhappy things, and celebrate the New Year happily! I wish Weiwei grow up quickly, and I wish Xiaomi more and more beautiful!"
Mi Lin also cheerfully raised his wine glass, "Chuchu, you idiot finally said something human!"
"Hey hey hey..."
He Moqian thanked with a smile, raised the glass to clink glasses with Chu Fanxi, but Yuan Ying drank the beer in her glass first, and poured half a glass of orange juice into it, "You have a bad stomach, stop drinking."
"Uh... Sister He, you can't drink? I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Chu Fanxi apologized again and again, and looked at Mi Lin with a sneer, "Xiaomi, I seem to have screwed up again..."
"..." Xiaomi said that he was used to it.
"It's okay to drink less." He Moqian raised the half glass of orange juice, and everyone clinked glasses and said auspicious words. It really felt like a family having a New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve.
Shen Siwei has stayed at her aunt's house for a long time, and some habits can't be changed in a short while, and she is still very timid in such a crowded place, she keeps silent at the dinner table, keeps her head on the table, and doesn't eat vegetables, but fortunately, there is no... Qian paid attention, adding some vegetables to her bowl from time to time, "This is the cola chicken wings made by sister Yuan, Weiwei try it."
Yuan Ying corrected: "It's not Sister Yuan, it's Aunt Yuan." She put a piece of braised pork ribs into He Moqian's bowl, "Ah Qian, you can try my cooking too."
He Moqian said politely, "Thank you."
At this time, Shen Siwei, who was eating silently, suddenly raised her head, "Aunt Yuan, the dishes you cook are really delicious."
Chu Fanxi wolfed down the food, before she could swallow the food in her mouth, she nodded in agreement: "Yes, sister Ying! Your cooking is so delicious! It's even better than my mother's!"
A small smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Ying's mouth, and she gently patted Shen Siwei's shoulder, "Good boy, Auntie will often do it for Weiwei in the future."
"Miss Ying, you are biased! I want to eat too!"
"Shut up and eat!" Milin lightly tapped the back of Chu Fanxi's hand with his chopsticks.
Chu Fanxi retorted weakly: "Shut up...how can you eat if you shut up..."
Everyone laughed, and the small apartment was warm.
After eating and clearing the table, Chu Fanxi and Milin played games with Shen Siwei. He Moqian went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. Yuan Ying wanted to help, but He Moqian stopped him, "Don't touch the water if your hand hurts. ,Let me do it."
Yuan Ying leaned against the kitchen doorframe, "Ah Qian, I'm really afraid that I'm dreaming now."
He Moqian devoted himself to washing the dishes, and Yuan Ying said again: "Ah Qian, it's a good day like this. The two of us cook together, wash the dishes and raise the children. You go to work in the morning, and I will send the children to school. In the evening, we go home and have dinner together. Then help Weiwei to do her homework, live slowly day by day, watching Weiwei grow into a beautiful big girl, get married, have children, and then the two of us grow old together..."
He Moqian shuddered when he heard the words "grow old together". How could he not think about it before he could grow old together with Yuan Ying?
We won't grow old together, He Moqian thought while wiping the plate, we will grow old independently without any relationship.Although it is still impossible to get rid of Yuan Ying, He Moqian will never be entangled with her forever, it's too scary.
He Moqian has been waiting for Yuan Ying's moth, but he has not waited for a day. Yuan Ying ate a meal in a regular manner, and left with Chu Fanxi Milin in the afternoon.Really just a meal?After being gone for a long time, He Moqian still couldn't believe it.
After they left, only He Moqian and Shen Siwei were left in the house again. It was deserted. Shen Siwei didn't even play games by herself, and sat on the sofa with He Moqian in a daze.
Shen Siwei said: "It would be great if Aunt Yuan and sisters could come every day."
"Does Weiwei like them?" He Moqian asked.
"Well! Aunt Yuan is very gentle, they are all good people!" After Shen Siwei finished speaking, she was afraid that He Moqian would be unhappy, so she added in a low voice: "But Weiwei likes Aunt Qian the most, and Aunt Qian is the best..."
"good."
Yuan Ying and his party left the gate of the community, and Chu Fanxi said, "Sister Ying, are you relieved now? Sister He has a place to go during the Chinese New Year, and Weiwei is quite sensible."
Yuan Ying said: "Fan Xi, Xiaomi, thank you for asking you to accompany me on this trip today."
Chu Fanxi waved his hand: "Sister Ying, what are you saying to thank us? But you give the house to Sister He and Weiwei, where do you live? You won't be staying in a hotel for the New Year's Eve?"
Milin continued: "Yes, yes, Sister Ying, for the New Year's Eve, Sister He and Weiwei are also deserted. It just so happens that you celebrate the New Year with them? There is also a care."
Yuan Ying smiled and said: "I have a sense of propriety, you celebrate the New Year well, don't worry about me." She also wanted to spend the New Year with He Moqian, but she was afraid that He Mo would never agree.
Milin struggled for a long time, and asked, "Sister Ying, there are some things that we shouldn't care about, but you and Sister He... a relationship is not easy, what happened to you to get to this point?"
"The matter between me and her is too complicated, and I can't explain it for a while, but this time I will chase her back, and I will."
Chu Fanxi bluffed as if she had been beaten into chicken blood: "That's great, Miss Ying! Come on! We all support you!"
……
On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, He Moqian took Shen Siwei to buy new clothes for the New Year, and bought some New Year's goods and ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner.Red lanterns were hung up on the street, merchants also posted New Year pictures and couplets one after another, there were a lot of people shopping on the New Year’s Street, it was the first time for Shen Siwei to go shopping with He Moqian, holding He Moqian’s hand tightly excitedly, I'm afraid I'll get separated from He Moqian.When they came back from shopping in big and small bags, Shen Siwei's face was still flushed when she entered the community, "Aunt Qian, let's spend the New Year together every year from now on, okay?"
"Okay, Aunt Qian will be with Weiwei every Chinese New Year in the future."
He Moqian led Shen Siwei back happily. As soon as he arrived at the stairs, he saw a woman sitting cross-legged at the door. She was concentrating on playing with her mobile phone. care.
Shen Siwei saw the man's eyes light up, "Aunt Yuan!"
Yuan Ying raised her head and smiled at them, "Aqian, Weiwei, you are back."
He Moqian knew that Yuan Ying had something wrong.
"What are you doing here?"
"The key of my house is broken in the lock." Yuan Ying raised the key with only the handle left, and looked at He Moqian with watery eyes, "The master who repaired the lock has returned home for the New Year, and I can't enter the house."
He Moqian looked at her condescendingly, without speaking.
"My wallet is locked at home, and I have no money to stay in a hotel." As she said that, Yuan Ying turned out her pocket and showed it to He Moqian. It was clean and contained nothing.
"Ah Qian..." Yuan Ying patted her buttocks and got up, and rubbed her face in front of He Moqian shyly, "It's very pitiful for me to sleep on the street alone... Weiwei, don't you?"
Shen Siwei nodded sympathetically, "Yes, yes, Aunt Qian, shall we let Aunt Yuan stay?"
He Moqian's face was ashen.
Shen Siwei was frightened, and tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Aunt Qian..."
He Moqian sighed resignedly, "Come in."
"Ah Qian, you are so kind!" Yuan Ying happily followed He Moqian into the house, and Shen Siwei also cheered: "Thank you, Aunt Qian!"
He Moqian couldn't figure out how Yuan Ying was so destined to be a child, and Shen Siwei treated her like this just as soon as she saw her.
There is only one bedroom in the apartment, He Moqian sleeps on the same bed with Shen Siwei, and Yuan Ying consciously sleeps on the sofa.Yuan Ying is a few centimeters taller than He Moqian, with long hands and long feet, and the sofa in the living room is very narrow. She has no place to put her hands and feet in it, and is covered with a quilt pitifully.
The sofa in the living room was facing the door of the bedroom, Shen Siwei was sitting on the bed drinking milk, Yuan Ying huddled in the sofa and said loudly: "Good night, Aqian, good night, Weiwei." The voice sounded happy.
Shen Siwei bit the straw and said in distress: "Aunt Qian, Aunt Yuan looks so pitiful, the sofa is so small, will she fall off at night when she sleeps? And the quilt is not thick, what should I do if Aunt Yuan catches a cold? My aunt said before , you can’t get sick during Chinese New Year, once you get sick, you will be sick for a whole year!”
"Does Weiwei feel sorry for Aunt Yuan?" He Moqian was secretly jealous with Yuan Ying. In just one day, his daughter was more towards her than towards him. Would it be okay to let her stay a few more days?
Shen Siwei was used to watching words and expressions since she was a child, and felt that He Moqian's face was not right, so she immediately shook her head, "No! Aunt Qian, don't be angry! Let's go to bed, and ignore Aunt Yuan!" As she said this, she kept looking into the living room worriedly.
Forget it, let someone as big as Yuan Ying sleep on such a small sofa. It's really inhumane. Anyway, the bed is big enough. He Moqian turned to the living room and said, "Go, call your Auntie Yuan to sleep with us." .”
"Okay!" Shen Siwei jumped off the bed, and hurriedly pulled Yuan Ying into the bedroom with her bare feet, "Aunt Yuan, you don't need to sleep on the sofa! Aunt Qian said the three of us will sleep together!"
Yuan Ying's eyes bent into two crescents, hugged Shen Siwei and kissed her hard, "Thank you Weiwei! Auntie likes you so much!"
"Weiwei also likes Aunt Yuan!" Shen Siwei said with a chuckle, the fragrance on Aunt Yuan's body is really nice.
"Okay, okay, go to bed." He Moqian took Shen Siwei from Yuan Ying's arms with a face, "What time is it? Does Weiwei still want to grow up?"
"Think! Weiwei will grow as tall as Aunt Qian!"
"Then go to sleep." He Moqian put Shen Siwei in the middle of the bed, pressed her quilt tightly, Yuan Ying turned off the headlight, and there was only a small lamp on in the bedroom.
"Go to sleep too." He Moqian said lying on Shen Siwei's side.
"Good night, Ah Qian." Yuan Ying turned off the desk lamp, and slowly got into bed in the darkness.
Shen Siwei was tired from playing during the day, and soon fell asleep, snoring softly, Yuan Ying whispered to the ceiling, "Ah Qian, thank you for taking me in."
"Don't thank me, thank you Weiwei for being kind." If only He Moqian was alone, even Yuan Yingshui wouldn't take a second look at her on the street.
Yuan Ying chuckled: "You have not corrected your knife mouth and tofu heart for so many years."
After a while, He Moqian's breathing gradually calmed down, and he also fell into a deep sleep.
Yuan Ying thought, if a wife and children are hot on the kang, having these three things is really better than anything else.She turned sideways, stretched out her long arms, and hugged her child and wife into her arms.
......
Fireworks and firecrackers are usually prohibited in city S, but they can be set off in the suburbs from New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival. The community where He Moqian temporarily lives is not only in the suburbs, but also in an old-fashioned community. The sound of firecrackers has not stopped since six o'clock in the morning Pass.Shen Siwei was so dazed that she couldn't sleep because of the noise, she hummed and groaned and burrowed into He Moqian's arms, He Moqian closed her eyes tightly and hugged Shen Siwei, her head was buried in the bed.
Yuan Ying got up lightly, boiled a pot of white rice porridge, and cooked a few side dishes to accompany the porridge. At 07:30, she went to the bedroom to have a look. , like a small animal that hibernates in winter.She lifted the quilt and kissed He Moqian on the ear, "Ah Qian, get up and have breakfast."
He Moqian stretched, before he opened his eyes, he shook his mouth to wake Shen Siwei up, "Weiwei, wake up, go to bed early and get up early to be healthy."
Yuan Ying was delighted to hear this, why is this man so cute in a daze.
The mother and daughter sat up from the bed in unison, put on slippers, staggered to the bathroom to wash their face and brush their teeth, even the movements of spitting foam were very consistent, if it wasn't for Shen Siwei's age, Yuan Ying really thought she was He Moqian biological daughter.
On New Year's Eve, according to the tradition, it is necessary to post Spring Festival couplets and set off firecrackers, but the house belongs to Chu Fanxi. Xi couldn't explain it, so she didn't buy it, but she bought a lot of firecrackers. For Chinese New Year, just to create an atmosphere, how could there be no fireworks.
After breakfast, Shen Siwei stared nervously at the fireworks on the TV cabinet. In the past, her aunt often took her younger brother to set off the fireworks. Every time the younger brother came back, she was happy. This time she finally had the ability to take her. People who set off fireworks.Shen Siwei was so excited that she wished that time would pass faster, even faster.But both He Moqian and Yuan Ying were busy processing ingredients to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner, so she didn't dare to disturb them, so she had to sit by the TV cabinet with a small stool, looking very devout.
Yuan Ying passed by the living room and saw Shen Siwei's eager eyes, "Does Weiwei want to set off a firecracker?" She asked.
Shen Siwei said: "I don't want to, Auntie, you should do your work first."
Yuan Ying squatted beside her and said, "Weiwei, in the future, if you think about it, say you want it, and if you don't want it, say you don't want it. We are a family, and family members don't need to hide it, understand?"
"Understood, auntie, we are a family." Shen Siwei smiled shyly.
Yuan Ying pinched her little face, and greeted He Moqian who was busy in the kitchen, "Ah Qian, let's take Weiwei to set off the fireworks? We'll pack those things when we come back."
"You guys go." He Moqian was handling the whole silver carp, "Remember to take Weiwei out for lunch, there's no time to do it at noon."
"how about you?"
"Me? There's still half a pot of porridge in the morning, enough for me."
"No." Yuan Ying snatched He Moqianxiyu's basin, "Weiwei definitely hopes you can go together." She asked Shen Siwei: "Weiwei, don't you?"
"En!" Shen Siwei said: "Aunt Qian, shall we go to set off the fireworks? I want you to go together."
Facing Shen Siwei's expectant eyes, He Moqian compromised, "Okay, Weiwei goes to change clothes, and let's set off the fireworks."
There is nothing to watch when setting off fireworks during the day, and you can’t see the colorful fireworks exploding in the sky, but Shen Siwei is still very happy. She leans beside Yuan Ying and watches Yuan Ying light the fuse with a cigarette butt. Wei straightened her neck but didn't see where the explosion happened.
He Moqian stood far away, watching the two of them having fun, and had no intention of getting involved at all.
Yuan Ying ordered two fairy sticks for Shen Siwei, the kind of small firework sticks that could be held in the hands and sizzled. Shen Siwei handed one to He Moqian, and He Moqian subconsciously dodged it. Turning pale in an instant, she forced a smile and said, "Weiwei can play by herself, Aunt Qian won't."
Just at this moment, several children from the courtyard came up, and Yuan Ying handed out fireworks sticks to them one by one, and asked Shen Siwei to lead them to play. After a group of children walked away, Yuan Ying asked: "What's wrong? Isn't it?" uncomfortable?"
"No." He Moqian shook his head, "Yuan Ying, thank you for bringing Weiwei to play."
He Moqian herself is a person who is not good at dealing with children. She can take good care of Shen Siwei's food and clothing, but it is Yuan Ying's credit that Shen Siwei can make so many friends immediately. The children played together, and He Moqian was very happy from the bottom of his heart.
"What are you talking about? Weiwei is such a good child, anyone would like it." Yuan Ying changed the subject, "Aqian, are you afraid?"
"Me? What am I afraid of?"
"You know it in your heart."
He Moqian was indeed afraid. She was afraid of fireworks, firecrackers, and the sizzling sound they made when they ignited the fuses. These sounds always reminded her of the fire, of the dead chairman Yuan who tried his best to push her out of the sea of flames, and of the raging fire. The burning wooden door crashed down towards her... To this day, when He Moqian thinks of this, the wound on his body still burns and hurts.
"Ah Qian, what happened that night? Are you still unwilling to tell me?"
He Moqian sneered, "What's there to say? I stole the information, and I set the fire. It has been concluded many years ago. What do you mean by it now?"
"Then you set yourself on fire and burned yourself? Ah Qian, your injuries can't fool anyone." But He Moqian was not taken to the hospital by ambulance. There was chaos that night, and He Moqian was never found at the scene. Ying didn't even know that He Moqian was also injured, and so badly.
What do you say?He Moqian thought, the inexplicable fire, the sudden accident, he was already in the hospital when he woke up, his whole body was wrapped up like a mummy, and he lay motionless in the hospital for several months, the first thing he did when he was discharged from the hospital was to be buried. Arrested, saying she was a suspect.He Moqian didn't know anything, so he became a criminal suspect without any reason. What did Yuan Ying ask her to say?
"Why didn't you appeal?" Yuan Ying asked again, "If you didn't do it, why didn't you appeal?"
He Moqian resolutely said: "Because I did it! Yuan Ying, watch carefully, I am the one who killed your father and bankrupted your family!"
She closed her eyes, paused, and said tiredly: "Yuan Ying, it's not easy to pass the new year. I don't want to quarrel with you. Let's not mention this. Let's live the new year quietly?" This is He Moqian's release from prison In the first new year after that, she didn't want to make her life difficult even for a year because of Yuan Ying.
"I'm sorry." Yuan Ying held her shoulder guiltily, "You don't like fireworks, then let's go home."
He Moqian avoided physical contact with Yuan Ying, "You can play with Weiwei for a while, she likes to play, thank you."
Looking at He Moqian's leaving back, Yuan Ying scolded herself fiercely in her heart, and finally had a happy atmosphere, why is she so blind to see?This is all right, it's all destroyed, and it falls short.
As soon as He Moqian left, Yuan Ying lost her interest. She sat on the garden table in the community and watched Shen Siwei play with a few children. She checked the time, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and she wanted to call Cheng Qiuyi. We have been friends for many years, and it is unreasonable not to offer condolences.
The phone rang several times before it was connected, and Cheng Qiuyi's lazy and impatient voice came from the receiver, "Aying, why are you so crazy if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"
Yuan Ying said: "It's only less than three o'clock in the afternoon, Qiu Yi, which one of us is crazy?"
She heard a slight ringing in the handset, and then Cheng Qiuyi said: "Have you returned to China? When did you come back?"
"I came back on Christmas and have been in City S." Yuan Ying didn't tell her that she had already returned in early December, and found the person she had been thinking about all along.
"Okay, Ah Ying, happy new year."
"Happy New Year, Qiuyi."
The two hung up the phone tacitly.
Yuan Ying could hear that Cheng Qiuyi's voice was very lonely, she didn't understand why, Cheng Qiuyi already had Liu Shuhan, why did she still sound so lonely, not angry at all, but she didn't ask.She and Cheng Qiu are also friends, and they both maintain a tacit relationship that if you don't tell me, I won't ask.They are all proud people in their bones. Since Cheng Qiu didn't say anything, it means that she didn't want her to know, just like she didn't tell her about He Moqian.
Yuan Ying also wanted to ask Cheng Qiuyi, if she hurt someone, what should she do to mend the wound in that person's heart.When the words came to his mouth, he felt ridiculous and swallowed them back.Every love affair is different. This kind of thing is like knowing how warm and cold the drinking water is. You can only figure it out by yourself. How can others help you.
"Aunt Yuan, where's Aunt Qian?" Shen Siwei was tired from playing, so she ran back to Yuan Ying and asked.
Yuan Ying wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Weiwei, Auntie has made your Auntie Qian unhappy, after Weiwei returns later, help Auntie coax Auntie Qian and make her happy, okay?"
"Why is Aunt Qian unhappy?"
"Because..." Yuan Ying sighed, "Because I hurt her."
Although Yuan's father repeatedly told her that she was not allowed to investigate, but now Yuan Ying must investigate, not only to give herself an explanation, but also to give He Moqian an explanation, and there is a little possibility of redemption between them .
After going back, He Moqian didn't show any abnormality. As she said, it's been a difficult year, and she doesn't want to be disturbed by other things.
There was a gala show on the TV, the three of them were having a New Year's Eve dinner inside, and the firecrackers were rumbling outside. This year finally passed in a decent way.
After dinner, He Moqian wrapped Shen Siwei's New Year's money in a red envelope and put it under the pillow, silently making a wish in his heart, hoping that in the coming year, Shen Siwei would be fatter, taller, healthy and happy. Jie's company works well, has a stable job, can give Shen Siwei a better life, and doesn't need to rely on other people's charity. I hope... I hope I can get rid of Yuan Ying and never see her again.
These two days, He Moqian and Yuan Ying got along fairly well. First, she wanted to have a good time. Second, she couldn't even quarrel with Yuan Ying. The past is a foregone conclusion. Means nothing.
In the early years, He Moqian was still a little bit hopeful, but later he finally realized that it was impossible for her and Yuan Ying, so what if Yuan Ying found out the truth?It is impossible for Father Yuan to be resurrected, and it is impossible for her ten years to start from scratch.Besides, even He Moqian himself was confused about the truth, and until now he hadn't figured out who had the deepest hatred against him and had to put her to death. After so many years, the evidence back then was gone, even if Yuan Ying wanted to investigate , how does she check?
If you can leave, let's leave, He Moqian thought, take Shen Siwei to hide far away, it is best that Yuan Ying will never be found.
......
The restaurant officially opened on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Siwei had a short winter vacation, and she had to go back to school officially on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. In the afternoon of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, He Moqian and Shen Siwei packed Shen Siwei's luggage. Aunt Qian was also reluctant to part with Aunt Yuan, and both mother and daughter were frowning.
"Aunt Qian, I don't want to go to school." Shen Siwei buried herself in He Moqian's waist and acted like a baby.
"Don't talk nonsense." He Moqian cheered up and taught her, "Weiwei, you have to study hard, and you will be worthy of your mother when you are promising in the future, you know?"
"But Aunt Qian, I can't bear to part with you." Shen Siwei said aggrievedly, "After going to school, will I see Aunt Qian after the summer vacation?"
"No, Weiwei studies hard, I will visit you whenever I have time."
Leaning against the door frame and watching the mother and daughter bid farewell, Yuan Ying had an idea, and suddenly said: "Weiwei, why don't you live on campus, how about living with your aunt Qian?"
He Moqian said: "Weiwei, don't listen to her nonsense. The environment where Aunt Qian lives is not good. She can't take you to live with her. She will pick you up when she settles down."
"How about living with me, Weiwei? Auntie takes you to and from school every day. It will never delay your studies, and I can often see your aunt Qian."
Shen Siwei looked at He Moqian pleadingly, but He Moqian refused mercilessly, "No, don't you need to work?"
"Me?" Yuan Ying shrugged indifferently, "I resigned last year, and now I am jobless."
"Ah? Aunt Yuan, you don't have a job? Then how do you support yourself?" Shen Siwei asked worriedly.
"In this world, you don't have to go to work every day to be called a job." Yuan Ying sat on the bedside and explained to Shen Siwei, "Stocks, futures, and bonds can all make money. This is called money making money, does Weiwei understand?"
Shen Siwei nodded half-understanding, and He Moqian reprimanded: "Enough is enough for you, Yuan Ying, don't give my daughter such incorrect values." Speculation in stock futures is extremely risky, and a little carelessness is He Moqian didn't want Shen Siwei to be infected with the bankruptcy of his family.
"Why is it incorrect?" Yuan Ying dissatisfied, "Is it illegal to speculate in stocks? Is it illegal to speculate in futures? Ah Qian, you are biased! You are..."
He Moqian gave her a gouged look, Yuan Ying's unspoken words dropped down, and she didn't know what she was muttering.
After packing up, Yuan Ying drove He Moqian and Shen Siwei to the school, saying it was to repay them for taking them in. He Moqian told the left and right at the school gate, "Weiwei, take good care of yourself at school, if someone bullies you Just tell the teacher, if the teacher doesn’t help you, just tell Aunt Qian, you know?”
"Eat more fruits, drink milk on time, study is secondary, health is important, if you don't have enough money, tell Aunt Qian, don't treat yourself badly."
"and also……"
Yuan Ying interrupted: "Okay, Ah Qian, Weiwei is fifteen, she will take care of herself, don't worry about me seeing her for you every day?"
Shen Siwei also continued: "Don't worry, Aunt Qian, I will take good care of myself and grow as tall as you!"
"Good boy, go, you should be late for evening self-study."
"Well! Goodbye, Aunt Qian, and Aunt Yuan!" Shen Siwei disappeared into the back-to-school crowd with her schoolbag on her back.
On the way back, Yuan Ying couldn't help teasing, "Ah Qian, don't tell me, you really look like a mother. If you don't know, you really think Weiwei is your daughter."
"She is my daughter." He Moqian looked forward. Her life was given by Weiwei's mother, Liu Rui. Without Liu Rui, there would be no He Moqian. Liu Rui entrusted her daughter to her before she died. Shen Siwei is He Moqian's own daughter.
"Weiwei's biological mother..."
"She's dead." He Moqian said lightly, "Breast cancer is at an advanced stage."
Yuan Ying fell silent, and asked after a while: "When did you go?"
"Ten years ago."
It was ten years ago again, that year was really a disaster year, and all the bad things happened in that year.
"Does Vivi know?"
"I know." He Moqian said, "She has the right to know about her biological mother."
Back at the apartment, He Moqian hurriedly packed his luggage and said goodbye to Yuan Ying, "I'm leaving. If you want to live here, I'll tell Fan Xi. If you don't want to live here, return the key to Fan Xi." She wanted to say goodbye to Yuan Ying, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. In all fairness, she didn't want to see this woman again.
"Ah Qian!" Yuan Ying called to stop her.
He Moqian turned back, "Is there anything else?"
"I'm very happy to be able to celebrate the New Year with you again."
He Moqian smiled politely, "Take care."
After He Moqian left, Yuan Ying lay on the big double bed, hugging the quilt and inhaling greedily, the breath of He Moqian still remained on the quilt.But everyone is gone, and probably this smell will dissipate soon.
In the arson case ten years ago, Yuan's building was bought and rebuilt. Yuan Ying was really not sure where to start the investigation.
Speaking of which, the key piece of evidence for He Moqian's conviction was the surveillance video of the reference room that night. No one entered or left the reference room except He Moqian that night, and the time she went out coincided with the time of the fire. The fingerprints of He Moqian were also on the tools found at the scene. If it was a coincidence, it would be too coincidental.
Where do we start?
Yuan Ying had a flash of inspiration and remembered a person.
She jumped up from the bed, just at that moment Zhuang Jie's phone call came.
"Zhuang Jie, just in time, I'm looking for you! Help me find someone!" "Yuan Ying, I have a clue to what you asked me to investigate!"
The two spoke in unison.
"What clue?" "Who?"
Again in unison.
Yuan Ying smiled, "Zhuang Jie, you go first."
"In the fire ten years ago, besides the master, Miss Biao and He Moqian, there was only one other person in the Yuan family."
Yuan Ying said: "Yuan's security guard."
"That's right. At the beginning, the security guard insisted that he had been in the surveillance room. He saw He Moqian arguing with the master, and then saw He Moqian quietly enter the reference room. After He Moqian came out, a fire broke out. If He Moqian really If you are wronged, then it proves..."
"Prove that the security guard was bribed and lied."
"Yes." Zhuang Jie hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "But if the security guard really lied, the only possible murderer at the scene is... Miss Biao."
Wang Yishi and Yuan Ying narrowed their eyes, her mind was full of half of her face destroyed by the fire, "Father told me before he died, let me take good care of Yishi."
Zhuang Jie thought it was ridiculous, "Yuan Ying, do you really think Miss Biao would risk her own face and set fire to her? What's her motive?"
"It's too early to draw conclusions, Zhuang Jie, you must find out where the security guard went after that, no matter what method you use, you must let him tell the truth!"
"Don't worry, I have already found out the current address of the security guard, and he should be found soon if there is no accident."
"Thank you, Zhuang Jie." Yuan Ying said, "By the way, you sent me the original surveillance video."
"Okay, but what do you want it for?"
"See if you can find any clues."
Yuan Ying said again: "There is one more thing to ask you, it's about He Moqian..."
……
"Madam proprietress, happy Chinese New Year." He Moqian greeted the proprietress refreshedly on the first day of working in the restaurant.
The proprietress became more mellow after a new year, and said beamingly: "Okay, hello everyone! By the way, I brought back a lot of local eggs and cured fish and bacon. You can take some over later. They are all good things. You can’t buy it with money in the city!”
"Miss Boss," He Moqian couldn't laugh or cry, "I have no place to do it after you gave it to me, wouldn't it be spoiled if I took it back?"
The proprietress also thought about it, "Then you bring some grapefruits back home, the grapefruits specially pulled from the south are very sweet!"
He Moqian replied: "Thank you, lady boss."
The owner and the proprietress of the restaurant are both good people, He Moqian was a little embarrassed to say that he was going to leave, he thought about it, and finally brought it up when he was about to get off work, "Madam proprietress, I want to tell you something."
The proprietress was reconciling the account and asked without raising her head, "What's the matter?"
"It's just that after this month, I may not do it."
"No?" The proprietress raised her head, "Then where are you going?"
He Moqian blushed, "I... I found a new job in Hedong, lady boss, I'm so sorry."
"There's nothing to be sorry about!" The proprietress was happy for her, "Xiao He, work hard! You are still young and have a bright future! When you came, I could see that you are a cultured person, and it is impossible for you to give people as servers."
He Moqian said gratefully: "Miss Boss, thank you for taking me in these few months." When she first came out, she only had a few hundred dollars with her. It was the lady boss who took her in and gave her a job to support herself. Chu Fanxi and Milin, although these two girls are young, they are both optimistic and kind-hearted children.Without them, He Moqian might not be able to make it this far, let alone find Shen Siwei, and live a good year with peace of mind.
"Thank you, I'll pay, you work for me, it's normal." The proprietress laughed heartily, "Xiao He, I will never find such a good helper after you leave, don't forget the eldest sister Come back and have a look when you have time, and play with Fan Xi and Xiaomi."
"Don't worry, I will never forget you!"
He Moqian rekindled hope for life. She is no longer young, and it is not easy to have another chance. He Moqian does not have the grand ambitions of being 20 years old. She just wants to learn new knowledge and work hard. Being able to provide Shen Siwei with a good living environment can bring her life back on track.
He Moqian wants her parents to know that although she was dazzled by love when she was young and ignorant, she is not a waste, and she can still do something by herself.
When the job is stable, let's go home and have a look, see parents, brother, and little nephew that he has never met, He Moqian thought.
