Meet·Lijiang

When Zhuang Zijing drove Yang Hui back to Wang's house, Yang Hui got out of the car, stood in the yard in a daze, and then said to Zhuang Zijing, "I was already mentally prepared to go to a splendid villa. , I didn’t expect it to be this style.”

"Don't like it?" Zhuang Zijing looked at her sideways and smiled.

From Lijiang to Beijing, Yang Hui has not changed much. He is still the same car repairman in the township, with neat short hair. The 100 yuan thermal underwear he bought in the township is covered with a blue-based casual style that costs more than 200 yuan. Down jacket, underneath is a pair of dark brown thick slacks, and on the feet is a pair of sneakers worth more than 100 yuan.

However, Zhuang Zijing felt kind to Yang Hui like this.Although I haven't seen her for three months, the moment I saw her at the airport, Zhuang Zijing felt that she had let go of her uneasy heart. She is still a green pine on the mountain of Lijiang, even in the noisy city , still does not change that kind of cleanliness and freedom.

Ever since her grandfather asked to see Yang Hui two days ago, Zhuang Zijing has been a little hard to calm down. Even though they are relatives she just met, for Zhuang Zijing, relatives who are connected by blood will always be hard for her to part with. She doesn't want conflicts. I don't want to be hurt, but the more this happens, the more disturbed I feel.

But after seeing Yang Hui, Zhuang Zijing's heart became more stable again, as if returning to the time when she was talking about life with her on the long street in Judian, life was full of tranquility.

Yang Hui grinned: "No, I feel like walking into this yard is like returning to my own home. The wooden house is full of plants. If it is spring, there should be many flowers blooming." It is in full bloom. It should be beautiful, like Lijiang. Maybe the only difference is the snow all over the world. There will be no snow in Judian town, but there will be snow in the mountains near Judian. Speaking of which, the difference is not Big. I would imagine this place as a big house on the mountain near Judian, with a vast land, sparsely populated, wooden buildings, snow in the yard and on the roof, the only thing missing is the piles of piles firewood."

"That's good." Zhuang Zijing moved bag after bag of souvenirs Yang Hui brought under the car: "You brought a lot."

While talking, the nanny heard the sound, greeted the two of them and helped move the things into the house.

"Grandpa is waiting for us in the tea room." After Zhuang Zijing finished speaking, she took Yang back to the tea room.

Knocking on the door, the old man's voice came from inside. Zhuang Zijing pushed the door open and brought Yang back into the room.

"Grandpa, hello." Yang Hui bowed slightly to salute the old man.

The old man was sitting behind the tea table. The tea had already been brewed on the huge root carving tea table, and there was a faint fragrance of tea in the whole tea room.He raised his head slightly to look at Yang Hui, but didn't respond, just looked at her quietly.

"Hello." Facing the gaze with some meaning, Yang Hui greeted him again.There was still a smile on his face.

It's just that the old man still didn't speak, he still looked at Yang Hui seriously.

"Sit down first." Zhuang Zijing felt that the atmosphere was not very good, afraid that Yang Hui would be embarrassed, so she reached out and tugged on her sleeve, letting her sit in front of the teahouse.

When Yang Hui sat down, the old man waved at Zhuang Zijing: "Zijing, go and see if your mother has taken the medicine, I'll talk to her."

Zhuang Zijing looked at Yang Hui, Yang Hui nodded slightly, Zhuang Zijing hesitated for a moment, then stood up: "Then talk slowly, I'll be back later."

When Zhuang Zijing went out, only the tea room was full of tea and two silent people were left in the tea room.

Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Yang Hui decided to break the situation. She smiled and said to the old man, "I think grandpa must have a lot of worries and wants to ask. Zijing is not here. Whatever you want to ask, I will answer it well." .”

The old man's gaze was like a torch, falling on Yang Hui's face, making it difficult to look directly at him, but Yang Hui still looked at the old man calmly and quietly, which made the old man finally speak: "I don't want my granddaughter to be with a woman .”

"Few people want their granddaughter to like the same sex. Grandpa, I know how you feel, but what do you think is the most important thing for a person?"

"Happiness." Grandpa said without thinking,

"Yes, happiness."

"But you can't give her happiness." Grandpa's expression was very serious: "You are a woman."

"I can." Yang replied seriously and firmly.

"You don't have what she has. Regardless of family background, regardless of academic ability, regardless of living environment and habits, you are not suitable for all of them, and you will not have your own children. All of this means unhappiness."

Yang Hui was silent for a while, just when the old man thought that Yang Hui had acquiesced, Yang Hui said seriously: "She has many things that I don't have, but I have things that she needs very much."

"What does she need?"

"A free and clean life, doing what you like, becoming who you like. For me, this is happiness, and for Zijing, this is also what she yearns for. I don't have a background like yours. , I am an orphan, and I don't have as high a degree as Zijing, but I can still use my hands to obtain the wealth I need, and spiritually, I think simply living in the way you like is spiritual Rich. When material and spiritual can be satisfied, it is happiness."

"You are very eloquent," said the old man.

Yang Hui lowered his head slightly: "Grandpa, I'm not good at debating. When I'm eager to argue, it's just because I'm a little scared in my heart."

"I don't see fear in your eyes."

"Fear in my heart."

"What are you afraid of? Zijing likes you very much. You have a good bargaining chip. When I talked to you, you had the upper hand. In fact, I know that even if our whole family disagrees with you, she will not listen , although I am working hard for her future. However, our whole family owes her family and love for more than 20 years. So from the day I found her, none of us wanted her to be hurt a little more. We I don't want her to be hurt because of emotional matters, but I also don't want her to be hurt because she was young and found the wrong person."

Yang Hui felt a little touched, because before she came to Beijing, she had already thought about how Zijing's family blocked them, and even thought that maybe Zijing would have to fall out with her family because of herself.But they really love her, because they really love her, so they don't want to hurt her, so no matter how much they don't like themselves, they will work hard to endure.

"I have met Zijing's adoptive mother twice. The first time was when Li Feng, Zijing's adoptive mother, came to Lijiang to look for her. At that time, Li Feng should have known that you were looking for her. But Li Feng took advantage of the fact that you hadn't found her yet. When she went to Lijiang to blackmail Zijing with family affection. Although Zijing had been blackmailed many times before, she was still fooled this time. I saw the whole process and felt very sad. Such an adoptive mother makes people very angry, very angry Of course what made me angry was Zijing's cowardice, why would a person repeatedly go to the same person and be deceived by the same person?! The second time was after Zijing knew her life experience and let her I accompanied her to see Li Feng, she said that Li Feng raised her after all, and let her read so many books, so we should not only remember others' bad things, but should remember others' kindness to us, so we I went, but when we went, we heard Li Feng talking nonsense in the mahjong hall through the door, making Zijing very ugly. At that time, I felt a ball of fire coming from my head, and I wanted to beat her hard But Zijing held me back and pulled me away. She said it was fine, let’s leave after reading it, it was a farewell to the past. I also felt very angry and sad that day, but I understood that in How important family affection is in Zijing’s heart. In her previous 20 years of life, she cared about family affection, but she could not have real family affection. She paid a lot for that family affection, but she could only get it to be used as a tool. The ending. It can be said that in her first 20 years of life, she was miserable. So I know very well what family means to her. So I am afraid."

The old man frowned slightly. Of course she knew about Zijing being cheated by Li Feng, but he didn't know about Yang Hui and Zijing going to see Li Feng: "So you also worry that Zijing will give up for the sake of her family. You? Are you afraid of this?"

Yang Hui shook his head: "No."

"What is that? Are you so confident?"

"I'm not confident. From the day Yixing left, she has been looking for the answer to a question, that is, what kind of life she wants to live and what kind of life she wants. I think she already knows now. If Being with me is the life she wants, so she will not give up easily. What I am afraid of is just the fear of being hurt. Because she is a person who cares so much about family affection, if there is a rift with her relatives because of me, let her close relatives If she is sad, then she will also be sad, and how can I not feel sorry for her? She has suffered for so many years, and I don’t want her to suffer again in the future. If so, even if she lives with me in the future, I think this life The shortcomings in her life will always be an obstacle to her happiness."

"You are still very confident and believe that she will definitely choose you?" The old man's tone was a bit bad.

Yang Hui shook his head: "If the life she wants is here, then her choice is naturally not me. If the life she wants is with me, then she will naturally follow me."

"But your fear does not include her choosing to stay in Beijing."

Yang Hui smiled slightly: "If that's the case, it can only mean that the life she wants is not with me. Since I can't give her the happy life she wants, why would I be afraid of separation? In that case, separation happens to be the most important thing. A good ending. And in that case, what will be left to me is not fear, nor unwillingness, but sadness."

"I thought a sensible person like you wouldn't be sad."

"People who are tempted have the possibility of being sad. If you give your heart to others, of course it is not up to you whether you will be hurt or not. So this is not a matter of fear."

"You can talk." Grandpa sipped his tea, "But I have met many people who can talk. Talking and doing are two different things. I don't trust you. Because you are too good at talking."

Yang thought about it for a while: "If that's the case, can you invite grandpa and me to live in Judian for a while? The environment there is very good and suitable for self-cultivation. It is also the place where I have lived and lived for more than ten years. I think you need to know more aspects of me."
