Zhen Lian of the Red Chamber

Zhen Lian saw that she recognized her and pulled her into the door again, she turned her head and motioned for Liu Xianglian to follow, and the two followed the woman into the door.

The courtyard of the Feng family is a small courtyard at the entrance, with three main rooms, one side room on the left and one side room on the left, and three side rooms on the left and right sides of the courtyard, with two side rooms.

As soon as he walked into the yard, he heard a hoarse and eager voice: "Lian'er is back? Where? Where?"

Zhen Lian stopped and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and in a blink of an eye, she saw a gray-haired old woman about 50 years old walking out tremblingly with a walking stick, shouting "Lian'er!".A look of joy and apprehension.Seeing Zhen Lian, she immediately yelled "My son!" Tears flowed down her cheeks, and she walked down the steps and ran towards Zhen Lian, not even knowing that she lost the crutch in her hand.

Zhen Lian fixed her eyes and saw that the man was [-]% like her mother, but she was ten years older than her mother. She burst into tears and ran over without the woman's hand.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and wept for a while, but they couldn't make a sound. It took a long time for the two to stop their tears and look at each other with their hands supported.

Mother Zhen was crying and laughing, holding Zhen Lian tightly with one hand, stroking Zhen Lian's hair with the other hand, and carefully looking at Zhen Lian's eyebrows.Seeing it, she shed tears again, hugging Zhen Lian and crying loudly.

The young woman also cried a lot just now, and just stopped when they saw their mother and daughter crying again, tears streaming down again, hugging their daughter to wipe away tears.

It took a long time for several people to hold back their tears, and the young woman hurriedly said: "Auntie, take your sister into the room and sit down, you can't say anything later!" Turning around, she saw Liu Xianglian standing there, and greeted with a smile: "Little brother, come in too sit."

Zhen Lian turned her head to look at Liu Xianglian, saw that his eyes were slightly red, and obviously shed a few tears, so she couldn't help laughing, "Brother Liu, come in with me!"

Seeing Zhen Lian smiling, Liu Xianglian also became happy, "Okay." They followed the woman into the house.

Several people sat down on the chairs in the main room, and Zhen's mother was sitting next to Zhen Lian, holding Zhen Lian's hand tightly, her eyes never leaving Zhen Lian's side for a moment.

The woman asked her daughter to go to the kitchen to make tea for several people, and then she said to Zhen Lian, "I am your eldest cousin, my surname is Zhao."

Zhen Lian hurriedly let go of Zhen's mother's hand, stood up and saluted her, but before she could bend her knees, she grabbed her and said, "My dear sister, don't break me!" Helping Zhen Lian to sit back Zhen Lian obediently sat down, and was held by Mother Zhen again, Zhen Lian turned her head and smiled at her.

The eldest cousin, Mrs. Zhao, also sat down, and said: "The whole family has gone to your cousin's house to congratulate her. When the whole family is here, we can formally greet you."

Mother Zhen repeatedly confirmed that Zhen Lian was indeed real, and she was indeed holding her daughter's fiery hand, only then did she recover from the ecstasy of her daughter's loss and recovery.Only then did he speak: "Your cousin's sister-in-law said it very well. After your cousin's child is finished cleaning, your grandfather, uncle, and aunt will all come back in the afternoon, and we will see each other then."

Zhen Lian agreed.

Mrs. Zhao took the hand of the little girl who opened the door and said with a smile: "This is your niece, named Wan'er, she is the most naughty on weekdays!" Although she said disgusting words, her eyes were full of kindness.

Seeing her, Feng Wan'er walked up to Zhen Lian with a smile and shouted, "Hello, auntie!"

Zhen Lian pulled her over and asked with a smile, "How old are you? You're really smart."

Feng Wan'er blushed and said shyly, "Seven years old!"

Zhen Lian asked her some daily gossip again, and the two chatted excitedly, and they only talked for half a day.

At this moment, the sun was already rising high. Mrs. Zhao looked at the sky, stood up and said apologetically, "Look at my memory, it's already noon, you must be hungry. I'll cook, sister, you are here Wait a minute, it will be ready in a while!" Holding Feng Wan'er's hand, "Come and help mother light the fire!"

Zhen Lian didn't know anything when she first came here, and it was hard to ask for help. Besides, there was Liu Xianglian who needed to accompany her, so she just smiled politely: "Trouble cousin!"

Zhao's mother and daughter acted quickly, and they had already walked to the door. After hearing this, they turned their heads and said, "If there is any trouble, please be polite!" The two turned around and left the room.

Seeing her acting like this, Zhen Lian grew closer to this bright and gentle cousin.

Turning around to see Liu Xianglian sitting there alone drinking tea, thinking about not caring about him for half a day, I felt a little guilty.Just as she was about to speak, Liu Xianglian also looked over at this time, her eyes met, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds and then looked away at the same time.

Liu Xianglian lowered her head and lowered her eyelids to look at her hands, Zhenlian also turned her head and smiled, and after a while she stood up and went to Liu Xianglian's side to add a cup of tea to him, and said with a smile: "Drink some tea, I didn't care about it just now. on you."

When Liu Xianglian lowered her head, she kept observing Zhenlian secretly from the corner of her eyes. Seeing her walking over, she felt inexplicably nervous, and even her breathing became slightly lighter.

I just felt that after a long time, I saw her coming over to pour tea, smiling inwardly, and a stiff smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.Hearing her talking to him, he hurriedly covered his expression and raised his head with a smile, "Don't worry about me, I'll do it myself."

Seeing that the tea had been poured, he took a sip and put it down.

Only then did Zhen's mother realize that there was another person in the room, she turned her head and looked over carefully from top to bottom, "Lian'er, this young master is..."

Liu Xianglian hurriedly got up and walked to Zhen's mother, lowered her head and bowed to salute, and said with a smile, "Junior Liu Xianglian has seen Auntie, and Auntie is well." Her posture was like flowing clouds and flowing water, and her gestures were full of the vitality and boldness of a young man. , without appearing frivolous and making people feel good.

Zhen Lian walked up to Zhen's mother, took her hand and said, "This is the person who sent my daughter back, and also her savior! Without him, my daughter might never see you again!"

When Zhen's mother saw Liu Xianglian, seeing his handsome appearance and good manners, she liked him at first, but when her daughter said that he was the one who saved her life, she immediately stood up and walked over to hold Liu Xianglian's hand, thanking him endlessly. .

Liu Xianglian was thanked by Zhen's mother, she didn't dare to accept it, she just said: "You don't need to thank you, Auntie, anyone who sees someone in trouble will help, I just met by chance, I really can't afford your thanks." Said while looking at Zhen Lian.

Zhen Lian seemed a little uncomfortable seeing him, looking at her as if she was asking for help.Thinking that he must not be used to being so close to people, he secretly laughed in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he didn't care about him, just smiled and watched from the side.He saved himself, these thanks are necessary, besides, Zhen's mother is full of gratitude to him for saving herself, so that their mother and daughter are reunited, so it's not good to stop her, she has to let her vent her feelings.

Mother Zhen thanked her for a long time before giving up. Zhen Lian went to help Mother Zhen to sit down, and then looked at Liu Xianglian with a smile, "Brother Liu also sits." Liu Xianglian was able to get away and let out a sigh of relief, shook her head and sat down helplessly. down.

Zhen's mother asked Liu Xianglian's age and hometown, and Liu Xianglian said: "I am thirteen this year, and my home is in Shenjing."

Zhen's mother wanted to ask again, but Mrs. Zhao came in with the food, so she had to press the unspoken words, "The food is ready, come and sit here." She got up and led Liu Xianglian to sit down at the dining table. " Zhen Lian went up to take the food in Mrs. Zhao's hand, put it on the table, and went out with her to the kitchen to bring the rest of the food.

Several people sat down, Mother Zhen picked up the chopsticks and put the food into Liu Xianglian's bowl, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, eat more!" Liu Xianglian thanked for eating, nodded and praised: "It's been a long time since I have eaten such a delicious meal Sister-in-law's cooking skills are really good, no worse than the chefs in those restaurants!"

Mrs. Zhao already has excellent cooking skills, and this meal was carefully prepared by her.Seeing that Liu Xianglian was full of praise after just one mouthful, and that people liked her craftsmanship, she was extremely happy. The smile on her face couldn't be restrained, and she said with a beaming smile: "Eat more if you like it!" He also took the chopsticks Some of each dish was given to Liu Xianglian, and Liu Xianglian's bowl couldn't fit it!I picked up a lot for Zhen Lian, and I just saw that I couldn't fit it.

Zhen Lian looked at the pile of bowls jutting out of laughter, and then at Liu Xianglian in the same situation, the two looked at each other and smiled.Liu Xianglian thanked her with a smile, picked up the top of the bowl and ate.Zhen Lian also thanked her, she picked up a chopstick and tasted it, the taste was really good, it was the most delicious dish Zhen Lian had eaten in this world.Although they are all ordinary home-cooked meals, her cooking is extraordinarily delicious, full of color and fragrance, and Zhen Lian also praised "good" after eating, in exchange for more smiles from Mrs. Zhao and the actions of constantly adding food to Zhen Lian's bowl .

Several people on the side laughed out loud.Zhen Lian hurriedly stopped Zhao's movements, "Don't worry about me, sister-in-law, you can eat quickly! Look, I can't even pile it up in my bowl!" Said: "After eating these, my stomach will burst!"

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help laughing, "Just eat, if it's broken, I'll sew it up for you, and keep it exactly the same as now!" She also stopped serving Zhen Lian's food, and started eating with a bowl by herself.

After eating and tidying up, they sat down, and the few of them had another conversation. Seeing that neither of them asked about her own affairs, Zhen Lian felt strange, and after a while, she looked at Zhen's mother hesitantly and said, "Mother and sister-in-law, why are you talking?" Don't ask your daughter about these years? Why did your daughter get separated from you?"

Both Mother Zhen and Mrs. Zhao were taken aback. Mother Zhen stretched out her hand to stroke Zhen Lian's hair, thinking of the events of these years, wondering how much her daughter had suffered and shed tears outside these years, her eyes were sore, "As long as It’s good that you come back, it’s good that you come back! It’s good that you come back! I can’t take care of the rest!” Tears rolled out.

Zhen Lian didn't say anything anymore, she hurriedly hugged Zhen's mother, "My daughter is back now, and I will never be separated from you again!" Presumably, the mother and the eldest cousin thought that they had suffered outside, so they couldn't bear to mention it. I am also afraid that I will be sad, and I will talk about it later when I have a chance.

The Feng family didn't come back from outside until it was getting dark in the afternoon.
