my daughter

Chapter 45

Xuan You casually lowered the window of the car, and the warm summer wind flowed into the car: "I really don't think much about it."

Her thoughts were very wandering, and when she said these words, she obviously didn't go through her brain.

Zhan Qianrui moved her lips and asked carefully after thinking about it: "May I ask why?"

"What why?" Seeing Zhan Yongde approaching the flower basket with a funeral ceremony, Xuanyou pressed the trunk.

At this moment, she came back to her senses and realized what she had just said.

"I'm kidding you." She blinked with a half-smile.

Zhan Yongde and Tong Jie have already opened the back seat door.It's not good for Zhan Qianrui to continue asking, but the doubts in his heart are getting heavier and heavier.

When talking about the couple before, Xuanyou seemed unwilling to talk about it.Zhan Qianrui once thought that Xuanyou was more introverted, or he didn't adjust his mentality well and didn't know how to speak.Now it seems that Xuanyou doesn't want to have anything to do with them.

It takes more than three hours to drive from Gongzhou to Gongjiang Town.Halfway through a service station, rest for ten minutes.

Before twelve o'clock, the family arrived in Gongjiang Town.The development of the town in recent years has not been good. Most of the buildings have not been renovated, and it looks like it does not belong to the 21st century.

Xuan You parked the car in the parking lot behind a small shopping mall.

Zhan Qianrui probed her head and asked her, "Why stop here? Aren't we going to the grave?"

"Find a restaurant for lunch first, and then leave after eating. It will take another hour to drive from here to the cemetery on the mountain, and there is no food there." Xuanyou said lightly.

Zhan Yongde and Tong Jie didn't say much, they just opened the car door and got out.

The scorching sun scorched the concrete floor, and the annoying chirping of cicadas filled my ears.

With the heat wave coming, Zhan Qianrui waved her little hands and kept fanning her face: "Why don't we find a bigger shopping mall, even a bustling place, the neighborhood looks so ordinary."

Xuanyou: "This is already the biggest shopping mall in the town."

"Oh." Zhan Qianrui responded dryly.

Suddenly, I felt that my unintentional words were quite inappropriate.Zhan Qianrui looked at Xuan You with a guilty conscience, there was no other emotion on her beautiful face.

Zhan Yongde smiled and said: "Let's go in quickly, it's so hot outside. Youyou, do you have any recommendations, which restaurants have delicious food?"

"I don't know either, I haven't been back for several years." Xuanyou replied in a low voice.

Although it is the busiest shopping mall, there are not many people inside.They chose one, which looked relatively clean, and ordered a few stir-fried dishes.

"After going to the grave, my mother and I want to visit the place where you used to live. After all, it is the place where you lived since childhood, so we..." Father Zhan rubbed his hands, only dared to speak half, and cautiously asked for Xuanyou's help. Opinion.

Xuan You raised his eyes, pulled a strand of hair behind his ears and said, "The house I lived in before has been demolished, it seems that a new supermarket has been built."

The implication is that there is no need to go back and look, there is nothing to see.

"That's it." Zhan Yongde said awkwardly, rubbing his hands faster.

Tong Jie glanced at Zhan Yongde, and said softly to Xuanyou: "We want to know more about you, even if everything is demolished there. But it's good to go there and experience it. Can you understand the hearts of parents? "

Mother Zhan's tone is soft, but her attitude is irresistible.

"When the time comes, let's see the time." She rarely expressed a negative meaning, but she didn't say it completely.

Tong Jie smiled, as if she didn't notice Xuanyou's resistance: "No problem. We arrived early today, so there should be plenty of time."

Zhan Yongde's hands were about to catch fire, he echoed Tong Jie and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I think it's all right."

"En." Xuan You smiled lightly, then turned around and waved to the waiter.

"Don't drink this time." Zhan Qianrui took the opportunity to tease Xuanyou, trying to ease the weird atmosphere.

She broke off the disposable chopsticks: "However, Dad can drink a little."

"I don't drink." Zhan Yongde waved his hand.

It's going to go to the grave in a while, so it's not good to drink.

Zhan Qianrui played with the wooden chopsticks: "Last time, Xuanyou and I found a stir-fry restaurant in a county near the factory. The food we ordered was delicious. I don't know if the food in this restaurant is good. Xuanyou, guess what Woolen cloth?"

"How could I guess." Xuan You asked the waiter for the hot water bottle, intending to burn several people's dishes.

Zhan's father hurriedly said: "You leave it alone, I will come."

"It's okay." Xuanyou avoided Zhan Yongde's hand, and he was very skillful in ironing the tableware.

Seeing this, Zhan's father didn't insist, and looked at Xuanyou quietly.

Like Zhan Yongde, Tong Jie looked at her quietly for a while, and when she was almost ironed, she chuckled and said, "Youyou, thank you."

Xuanyou: "Thank you for what the family said."

Mom and Dad just smile.Zhan Qianrui held his face in his hands, it was rare that he didn't look around.

No one spoke, and they could all hear the chef shaking the pot.

From the moment you go out in the morning, the atmosphere is subtle.Usually a family of four go out and chat in the car.

Zhan Qianrui didn't get enough sleep, so after setting off, she plugged her earplugs and leaned on the seat to catch up on sleep.

She thought that they would chat on the way, but they didn't.

The whole process was terribly quiet, only the sound of light music floating out of the car stereo.Occasionally, they would chat a few words when they saw something novel on the road.

The family who usually don't talk all the time, talk very little today.

It was still serving food to save a few people from staring at each other.The dishes are no fault of their own, not bad, and far from tasty.

"This dish is good." Father Zhan had nothing to say.

"It's pretty good." Zhan's mother didn't mean what she said.

Zhan Qianrui tasted a few mouthfuls, and was the first to tell the truth: "This dish is not delicious, it's not as good as the one Xuanyou and I went to last time."

She nuzzled Xuan You: "How do you feel?"

Xuanyou smiled: "It's okay."

What are the comments, one, two, three, all insincere.

Zhan Qianrui frowned, if she wasn't so hungry, she wouldn't want to eat at all.

The family ate quietly, making almost no noise.

Zhan Qianrui was because no one told her; Zhan's father and mother Zhan were in a complicated mood, and they didn't feel like talking about it; Xuanyou didn't want to talk about it at all.

It's not that the Zhans didn't guess Xuanyou's upbringing environment, but when they faced it, they still couldn't help feeling distressed.

They have worked hard from hard times, so they naturally don't want their children to experience the hardships and sorrows they have tasted.

See Xuanyou who is now successful in her career, and look at the small town where she lived when she was a child.It is not difficult to guess how much Xuanyou has suffered and how much effort has been expended.

Gongjiang Town is only three hours away from Gongzhou.In first-tier cities, many office workers spend three hours on the road just to and from get off work every day.

Such a short distance, but two completely different appearances.One is a modern city and the other is a secluded town.

It's not that I don't like this place.Just thinking that Xuan You grew up here, Zhan Yongde and Tong Jie, as biological parents, couldn't help but feel guilty and sad.

Along the way, Xuanyou is not only lucky, she has seized the opportunity of the times, and she must have had a very difficult life.

After dinner, the family drove to the mountain.

The entrance of the cemetery is built on the top of the mountain. There is a big stone at the entrance, on which is written "Gongjiang Cemetery" in official script. The font is rough and looks relatively simple.

After entering, there are rows of tombstones down.

The sun was scorching hot, and the cemetery was empty and silent.Even in the summer, when you are in the cemetery, you will still feel the cold on the soles of your feet, climbing up your calf, up your back, and then up your head.

Zhan Qianrui couldn't help shrinking her shoulders, and stood obediently behind Xuanyou.

Xuanyou raised his hand and pointed down: "His tomb is probably at that location. Mother's tomb is also at the bottom, she died earlier."

After hearing this, Zhan Yongde said in surprise, "They weren't buried in... Ouch!"

Tong Jie stepped on him severely.

Mother Zhan stepped on this foot too late, and Father Zhan realized it instantly, touching the back of his bald head embarrassingly: "I mean..."

"In the early years, there were no cemeteries with double caves for sale." Tong Jie said ahead of Zhan Yongde.

Xuanyou didn't make a sound, just stood there quietly holding a bunch of chrysanthemums.

Zhan Yongde and Tong Jie, a little at a loss, stared at Xuanyou's back, not knowing what to say.

"Shall we see Dad first, or Mom first?" Zhan Qianrui asked in a low voice, breaking the silence.

The Zhans were stunned. They not only came back to see the late Wus, but also the place where Xuanyou lived and studied since he was a child.

Similarly, they also accompanied Zhan Qianrui to pay homage to her biological parents, whom she had never met, and the place where they lived.

They cared more about feeling sorry for Xuanyou, taking care of Xuanyou's emotions, but ignored Zhan Qianrui.

Tong Jie patted Zhan Qianrui's head guiltily.

"Let's go down to see Mom first, and then you don't have to turn back." Xuan You turned around and took the flower basket from Zhan's mother: "It's a long way to go down, and the flower basket is a bit heavy, let me take it."

She turned her face to Zhan Qianrui and said, "Mom is weak and it's inconvenient to go down the stairs. Please support me."

With that said, Xuan You took the bouquet that Zhan Qianrui was holding.

"So much, can you take it?" Zhan's mother asked Xuanyou worriedly.

Xuanyou: "It's easy to get."

The road is not easy to walk, the stairs going down are relatively steep, and the stone slabs are not smooth.

Xuanyou and Zhan Yongde brought a lot of things for going to the grave.Zhan Qianrui supported Tong Jie and walked cautiously.Several people left without saying a word.

After walking for a while, Xuanyou paused for a while in a tomb passage: "It's inside."

The tombstones are closely spaced, and it is better to face the tombstones with your body sideways.

Xuanyou led everyone and stopped at a tombstone: "Here we are."

She handed the flower basket to Tong Jie, and then a bunch of flowers to Zhan Qianrui.Then he bent down and put his own bunch in front of the tombstone.

Zhan Qianrui also followed Xuanyou's example, put down the bouquet, and carefully adjusted the position.

Then, Zhan Qianrui straightened up and made eye contact with the woman in the photo of the tombstone.
