The fountain dispels the past that keeps pouring out of my mind.

That's why she was reluctant to go home.

Time flows, and even things change, but the shadows are still there.

Quanyuan is no longer that soft, weak, young and helpless child, she will no longer have those nightmares about her stepmother, she is no longer afraid, but the disgust in her heart cannot fade away.

All familiar scenes will evoke memories of her childhood.

Remind her of how humble she was, how angry, how sad and terrified she was.

She used to love her father so much, this feeling has long since faded.

She once refused to step into the house, and this obsession has been broken.

Because Quanyuan gradually learned how to stay out of things, how to treat himself as a bystander, and how to make himself feel safe and comfortable.

It's like taking all the experiences of childhood as an actor and performing a play.

The source is handy.

When she came back from the dining room, she heard her little stepmother joking with her uncle.

"We're all going to be jealous, only you have a gift when Mengmeng comes back."

Quanyuan walked over: "I also bought a bottle of red wine for you and Dad, the price of red wine is more expensive than fruit."

The stepmother laughed: "Ah, it really is!" She took the fountain and handed over the red wine: "Auntie is joking, why do you spend so much money every time you come home?"

"Be filial to your father."

The stepmother said: "Don't worry about that bad temper, he wants to drink and ask him to buy it himself, and save your money for yourself as a dowry. Does Mengmeng have a boyfriend? This is the right age to marry."

The uncle said: "Why do you have to prepare the dowry yourself? After Mengmeng found a boyfriend, my old man immediately wrapped a big red envelope to let him know how valuable Mengmeng is."

The stepmother covered her mouth: "My, I talk nonsense. Why do you have to prepare the dowry yourself? Your father will save one for you, and your uncle will save one for you. Your mother-in-law will be scared to death." She pulled Quanyuan clapped his hands: "You are so thin, don't be too strong, and don't ask your father to arrange work for you if you don't come home. Sometimes I forget that you are a child of the Chen family."

Quan Yuan smiled: "Walk more while you are young."

The stepmother said: "When I was young, I had no ambition at all. I just wanted to marry a good man and forget it."

After she finished talking about Quanyuan, she continued to laugh together.

I don't know if it's superfluous, but Quanyuan always feels that what his stepmother says is weird.

However, such things as family love will always change their taste once you add the words "succeed" and "sequel".

Quan Yuan thought that maybe she was messed up by her first stepmother.

The uncle asked, "Where's Yuqing? Why haven't you come down yet?"

"Yuqing went out after lunch, not at home."

"He went out? Why is he still going out like that? It was agreed that Mengmeng would come to eat in the afternoon, but he hasn't come back yet."

Quan Yuan asked, "What's wrong with Dad?"

Her uncle looked at her stepmother.

The stepmother said: "I don't know what's going on in the company. It was agreed to come back at four o'clock to save you from coming and he is not at home. As a result, he didn't come back at four o'clock, and neither did you."

"I have something to do on the way, so I was delayed for a while."

"It's okay, it's not the company clocking in when I go home, so I don't have to be so punctual."

The stepmother also said: "That's right. I even arranged the dining room before you came, especially taking out the silver tableware. And that pot of young phoenix, isn't it nice?"

"nice."

"I bought several pots and put them on the balcony upstairs. After thinking about it, I wanted to take a pot down and decorate it, but I couldn't move it. It took me a long time to walk to the stairs. I used to think that I was well maintained, and I was as good as my twenties. The girl is not afraid, and now I have to admit that I am old and can't even move flowers."

"Auntie is still very young."

"If you don't come, I have no choice but to ask Aunt Zhang not to cook, come and bring flowers with me."

"Thank you, auntie."

"It's not hard, you finally came back as a guest, I have to behave well. Do you like that pot of young phoenix? I went to the chrysanthemum exhibition to pick it up. If you like it, you can take it home."

"Auntie also went to see flowers?"

"Did you go too? Did you buy flowers yourself?"

Quanyuan remembered that He Chenxi had bought herself a gorgeous pot of golden and vermilion chrysanthemums, but he couldn't remember the name.The potted flower is still in the trunk of his car.

"I didn't buy it myself," she said.

"It's okay, I think you like simple and plain colors, so I specially chose a pot of Rouge Dianxue to bring back and put it outside. It's quiet and quiet. Remember to take it back when you go home."

"No need, Auntie, just keep it for a while. I don't know how to grow flowers, and I didn't drive here at night."

"Then ask your father to find someone to deliver it to you tomorrow."

Quan Yuan no longer declined.

The stepmother stood up and said, "You have a chat with elder brother, and I'll go to the kitchen. Eldest brother went out after lunch, saying that he wanted to buy fruit and candy for you to eat, and he didn't sleep at noon. He was in a hurry at four o'clock You rushed back but you didn’t arrive. Hurry up and tap his leg.”

"it is good."

Quanyuan chatted with his uncle for a while and ate some fruit and candy together.At about five o'clock, Quanyuan's half-brother came back.My younger brother went to the same university as Quanyuan, and he is just a sophomore this year.When he was a child, he wanted to get close to his little sister, and wanted her to take him to play, but Quanyuan didn't pay him much attention.As a result, the naughty boy hates his sister very much.He also knew He Zhe, and had said a lot of bad things about Quanyuan in front of He Zhe when he was a child.Quanyuan also had part of his reasons for breaking up with Hezhe for the first time.When returning home in previous years, this younger brother was not willing to say a word to his elder sister at all, and it was not until he went to university that he gradually changed.

Even so, the two siblings had nothing to say, and after a few polite words without nutrition, they ate a bowl of dim sum together, and the younger brother went to his room.

The father who said he wanted to see Quanyuan and asked Quanyuan to go home never showed up.

It was almost six o'clock when the stepmother received a call from my father, saying that my father was coming back and was already on the way.After another half an hour, the car stopped outside the door.The uncle went out first, and the stepmother called her son downstairs, leading Quanyuan and younger brother from left to right and followed behind.When walking down the steps, Quanyuan saw his father being helped out of the car, and then a wheelchair was moved out of the back seat.

Quanyuan frowned habitually, and heard his stepmother ask, "Why hasn't the plaster been removed?"

The middle-aged man standing behind his father said: "The bones have not healed well. Don't walk a step from today. You have to use a wheelchair, otherwise it will be difficult to recover."

Quanyuan recognized that it was a family doctor and had seen him several times.

Quanyuan's father was a little impatient: "Go back and talk." He looked past his wife and son, and saw Quanyuan standing behind: "You are here."

Quan Yuan said, "Dad."

Quan Yuan's father responded.At this time, the driver carried the wheelchair up the steps, and Quanyuan's younger brother went to carry his father up the stairs.He was obviously a little dissatisfied, but in the end he didn't push himself to walk under the watchful eyes of the doctor.

Quanyuan followed suit.

Uncle has been paying attention to Quanyuan's expression, and he didn't miss her frowning just now.The old man was very happy. She felt that although Quanyuan didn't show it, he still cared about her father.

Uncle said: "Yuqing said in the morning that he would go to the hospital for a re-examination to remove the plaster cast, and told us not to tell if you didn't ask. I forgot before."

Quan Yuan hummed, and smiled: "I know Dad cares about saving face."

The uncle said, "Yes, Yuqing just cares about saving face."

The whole family was in the lobby when Quanyuan entered.Seeing her coming in, Quanyuan's father beckoned her to stand beside him.

He asked his wife, "Are you hungry?"

"I had snacks when I was waiting for you."

Father said: "Then let's have dinner later." He turned to Quanyuan and said, "Push me to the reception room."

Quanyuan's stepmother said: "You haven't eaten yet, let's talk about anything after eating."

Quanyuan's father said: "It's important, I'm not hungry, we'll eat later."

He suddenly asked again, "Why didn't He Zhe come over?"

Quanyuan's empress said: "I invited you yesterday, and said that the plane is leaving tonight, so I won't come over for dinner."

Quanyuan's father said: "Call him and tell him that Mengmeng is coming to eat at night, and ask him to come and eat together."

Quan Yuan had already walked behind the wheelchair, and frowned again when he heard He Zhe's name.Her father seemed to be able to sense her thoughts, and said, "Let's go in first, I have something to talk to you about."
