"I heard from Ah Chen that my mother-in-law pretended to be sick to trick my father-in-law back." Qiao Zilin asked Yulan again.

"My father-in-law is very shrewd, and after living with my mother-in-law for so many years, how can I not know it? He is willing to be cheated."

Qiao Zilin was slightly taken aback, then sighed, "Eunuch is such a good man."

"Yeah, I know that my mother-in-law is against him, and I know what my mother-in-law wants to achieve, but as long as my mother-in-law is in trouble, he will help her and is willing to be an umbrella."

"Mother-in-law is so happy." Qiao Zilin sighed enviously.

Yulan looked at her sideways, and said with a smile, "You will be as happy as your mother-in-law. Chen Zi is definitely a good man worth entrusting for life."

"I know." Qiao Zilin lowered her head and smiled sweetly.

Yulan took off her apron and continued, "My father-in-law is a good husband and a good father. Whenever he has free time, he will play with us and tell us stories, including stories about him and his mother-in-law. The mother-in-law always tells the children to do things like this." What, my father-in-law will say that after we are a hundred years old, the children's children will come to worship, and ask what kind of people your father-in-law and mother-in-law are, how will you answer Xinlan and Yulan..."

As she talked, Yulan couldn't help but fell into the memory, and she seemed to see the stone statue road of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing again... On a Saturday morning in the autumn of 70, amidst the colorful autumn colors, two innocent girls, a big One day, bouncing and jumping on the road covered with golden stone statues, rustling the half-withered autumn leaves under his feet.Not far behind came two voices, which were parents' caring instructions.

"Xinlan, Yulan, be careful, don't fall." Zhao Lingyun's voice was graceful and soft.

"Xin Lan, take good care of your sister." Ling Xiao's voice was calm and low, reaching the ears of the two sisters, it was the most beautiful rhythm.

"Ah, I see." Xinlan turned her head and answered crisply, and when she turned back, she saw Yulan picking up a falling ginkgo leaf from the ground and holding it up in front of her, "Sister, look, this looks like a fan, and it's like a fan. It looks like the skirt you wore before."

"We may not have any skirts to wear in the future." Xin Lan said, looking down at the blue and gray pants on her legs, feeling a little sad, she hadn't put them on for a long time beautiful dress too.She remembered that when she was in Hong Kong, her father, grandparents, grandparents and grandparents bought her a lot of beautiful dresses and brought them here when they left, but now there is none of them...

Thinking back to the past, the two sisters separated so suddenly after the autumn visit to the Xiaoling Mausoleum in the Ming Dynasty, and seven years had passed since they reunited...

Yulan was in a trance, and suddenly heard Qiao Zilin calling her, hurriedly restrained her thoughts, and said with a smile, "Look at me, I lost my mind when I was talking."

"Auntie, I'm a little...curious..." Qiao Zilin hesitated. She actually wanted to ask why Yulan's surname was Chen instead of Ling, but she felt that it would be abrupt, so she finally gave up and said with a smile, "It's nothing."

Yulan looked at her for a while, then smiled faintly, "You are curious why my surname is not Ling?"

Qiao Zilin wasn't sure whether Yulan had guessed it by chance, or if she had completely read her heart, so she became a little cautious.

Yulan didn't seem to care, she said gently and slowly, "My mother-in-law asked me to change my surname before she died."

"Ah?" Qiao Zilin was stunned, and became even more confused for a while.

"Actually, I was not born to my father-in-law and my mother-in-law." Yulan said calmly, "In 63, the three-year natural disasters in the interior had just eased, but there were still droughts in some places, and there was a lack of food... At that time, my mother-in-law was working. I went back and forth to Hong Kong a few times, and once I left Luohukou, I saw a fainted woman on the side of the road, holding a newborn baby in her arms... Later, the mother-in-law sent the mother and daughter to the hospital. The mother could not be saved. Before she died, she told The mother-in-law’s child’s surname is Chen, and the name has not yet been chosen. She begged her mother-in-law to help the child find a good family to adopt. The mother-in-law felt that the child was destined for her, so she took the child home to raise her and named her Yulan..."

Qiao Zilin is a very emotional person, with rich thoughts and delicate emotions. As she listened, her eyes turned red.

"...that little girl has been loved by her parents and elders since she was a child, and she was carefree and carefree. She never knew her own life experience. She always thought that she was loved because her parents were middle-aged daughters... until her father became seriously ill. At that time, one day I overheard about her life experience... Later, in order to be closer to her sister and meet her conveniently, she went south to Guangzhou to find a job and settle down..."

Thinking of these things, Yulan really felt a lot of emotions, so she was a little bit embarrassed, and she was afraid that Qiao Zilin would be bored, so she said apologetically, "I'm sorry to talk so much with you, you were born in Hong Kong at your age, and you were born in that era. You don't quite understand."

"Auntie, in the three years you mentioned, many people died of starvation in the mainland, and there were several escapes from Hong Kong." Qiao Zilin said softly.

Yulan looked at her in surprise, and nodded slightly, "From 50 to 80, more than a million people from the mainland fled here."

"Actually, my dad told me that at that time, some relatives of our family came here one after another and managed to stay. When they returned home, they brought lard and flour... There was a rumor in 62 that the Queen's birthday was on the border with Hong Kong. It was opened for three days, and my grandfather decided to bring the whole family here. My dad was ten years old at the time, and he remembered that people rushed to the pass like a tide, and they were all dragging their children. They were not afraid of hearing the gunfire. He dragged me to death The second uncle followed his grandfather across the border and ran all the way, but he was deported later, and in 77 he brought his second uncle to smuggle over..." (In 79, new measures for stowaways: no certificates were issued, and Joe was found deported The two brothers took the last train, right?)

As soon as Qiao Zilin finished speaking, Xu Weichen walked in, "Auntie, you and HAILEY have been washing dishes for a long time."

Yulan smiled and said, "The dishes have been washed long ago, I'm chatting with Hailey."

"If you want to chat, sit and chat in the living room." Xu Weichen smiled and put his arms around Qiao Zilin's shoulders, "Aren't you tired from standing for so long?"

Yulan looked at the two of them with a smile, "Yes, Hailey, let's go out to talk, Chen Zai loves you." After speaking, she put down her apron and walked out first.

Qiao Zilin wanted to follow behind, but Xu Weichen held her shoulders still and whispered, "Go out later."

"What's wrong?" Qiao Zilin looked at him suspiciously.

"It's nothing." Xu Weichen shook his head lightly, with a smile on his lips, "I just want to stay alone with you for a minute."

Qiao Zilin smiled softly, with the throbbing lingering in her heart, she snuggled into his arms without saying anything.

"It seems that you will have no problem getting along with your aunt in the future." Xu Weichen hugged her and whispered softly in her ear.

"My aunt is very nice and easy-going, and I have something to say to her..."

At this time, I only heard JOJO yelling loudly outside, "Hey, what are you two doing hiding in the kitchen?"
