The car went south along the vineyard. The sky in May, like a washed crystal, revealed a clear light.The destination is not difficult to find. When the bluestone road winds into the old village, the milky white brick walls come into view.

It was a very beautiful country house. Because of its age, there were imprints of time everywhere on the surface of the building. The little girl who was playing in the yard at the entrance had long golden hair that fluttered like ears of wheat. Zhen Zhen got out of the car , went over to talk to her.

Knowing that they were here for a visit, the girl blinked curiously, and soon ran towards the house like the wind. After a while, an oriental woman in a black dress, about forty years old, came out.

She called herself Ruan, and she was the administrator of this villa. She would come to help reception in her spare time. It must have been a long time since there were no visitors. Ms. Ruan was very enthusiastic. She opened the door and invited them into the house.

"In the third year after Mr. Jiang passed away, the grandma who inherited this villa turned it into a small memorial hall for tourists to visit..." Ms. Ruan said as she walked, "The main house displays what they did all over the world that year. There is also a small screening room for the souvenirs bought during the trip, you can watch them casually.”

Although it has a long history, the room is still cleaned very clean. It is not difficult to see the warm appearance of the year, the yellowed rose wallpaper, the wisteria frame in the garden can be seen outside the wooden window lattice, and a row of large and small picture frames are placed by the window. It's a photo of two young women.

As a graduate of the Film Academy, Lu Jiaren has seen many director Jiang Peifeng's works. At this time, she leaned over slightly and looked at those photos one by one. She looked at them very seriously, and Zhen Zhen was beside her, accompanying her very patiently. .

Seeing the two watching carefully, Ms. Ruan smiled apologetically and said, "You can visit as you like. I'm going to the next hut to prepare dinner. If you're not in a hurry, you can come over to eat later."

She was not talking politely. After confirming that the two of them were not in a hurry, she added earnestly: "Emily also hopes that you can stay. She is my daughter and she likes to be lively. There are not many guests here, so if Let's have dinner together if you can."

The little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes turned out to be her daughter. Zhen Zhen nodded clearly, and after thinking for a moment, said: "Then we will trouble you."

Now that they made up their minds to stay longer, they stayed in the house for a long time. Lu Jiaren especially liked the small terrace on the second floor of this house. Standing there, he could see the greenery of the vineyard in the distance, and the little girl Emily in the yard He was running around, probably helping to set the table.

The weather was pleasant, and dinner was arranged in the yard. They went downstairs to help the little girl. She seemed a little shy, and when Lu Jiaren talked to her, she just kept smiling and waving her hands.

Ms. Ruan, who saw this scene, explained gently: "Emily was born unable to speak, but she is very smart and can understand what you want to say."

Lu Jiaren was a little surprised that such a beautiful girl was dumb, but Ms. Ruan didn't seem to care. She patted her daughter on the shoulder and asked her to wash her hands. She turned around and smiled and invited everyone to sit down.

"She is a child I adopted in an orphanage in Paris," she said softly. "Many times, we need to accept the inevitable shortcomings in life, and then enrich the other parts that can be grasped. Life is short, if always When you’re bothered, you don’t have enough time to be happy.”

Lu Jiaren nodded slightly, and said sincerely: "You are really amazing."

"Teacher Jiang and the others are really amazing," Ms. Ruan said with a smile. "She and Teacher Ruan have been doing charity activities to support children in impoverished areas. Influenced by my grandparents, I chose to work in an NGO before I had the opportunity. Meeting Emily, she was a gift from God to me."

They chatted in a low voice, and the windy little girl ran back from the house again. This time, she was followed by a huge white dog, sitting together intimately with one person and one dog, and the painting style seemed unusually harmonious.

The staple food for dinner was country stewed fish, served with freshly baked toast. The soup was rich and fragrant. Lu Jiaren had a great appetite and ate several pieces in a row.

And her enthusiasm obviously infected Emily. Children especially need atmosphere when eating. The blond beauty looked at Lu Jiaren and smiled shyly with her lips pursed.At the end of the meal, she and Lu Jiaren stretched out their hands to the last piece of bread at the same time, and laughed out loud in surprise as they looked at each other.

In the end, it was Zhen Zhen who took the initiative to divide the bread into two for them, and scooped the remaining fish soup evenly into the two plates carefully, thus completing the fair distribution.

With the friendship of this meal, after the dinner was over, the little girl stretched out her hand to play with Lu Jiaren, so Zhen Zhen stayed in the yard to help the master clean up the dining table.

On a summer night in the south, surrounded by stars, there was a slight sound of insects from time to time. Knowing that it was the first time for them to travel to South France, Ms. Ruan enthusiastically recommended several attractions worth visiting to Zhen Zhen.

"... are especially suitable for honeymoon couples like you." She added with a smile.

Zhen Zhen originally wanted to explain that she and Lu Jiaren had been married for several years, but thinking that it seemed that it was their first time traveling, she tacitly did not correct this statement.

After all, if it is a honeymoon trip, it seems to be good.

The two sat quietly in the yard drinking tea. Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the nearby villa, as if something had fallen on the ground, followed by a barking of dogs, mixed with Lu Jiaren's cry of pain. .

Upon hearing this movement, Zhen Zhen stood up nervously, and walked quickly towards the villa with Ms. Ruan, who was also full of doubts. However, the situation was different from what they expected. Both the older one and the younger one were covered in dust, and both looked a little agitated.

"We found a secret compartment in the attic..." Lu Jiaren took the initiative to explain, "Then accidentally this thing fell out..."

She was holding a small box that looked very old, and Emily nodded, indicating that it was a "treasure" they had discovered together.

Zhen Zhen went to lead his wife, dumbfounded, and took the wooden box first, and after confirming that the movement just now did not hurt her, she breathed a sigh of relief: "You guys actually went to the attic."

Fortunately, neither of them was injured. Emily was held in Ms. Ruan's arms, and she was not frightened by the movement at all. Instead, she smiled with crooked eyebrows. She was curious about what was in the box, and looked at Zhen Zhen with bright eyes. .

After obtaining the owner's consent, Zhen Zhen opened the box. It was an antique carved wooden jewelry box. What was placed inside was not jewelry, but a thick stack of letterheads.

Lu Jiaren recognized the handwriting on the cover at a glance, and said "ah" softly: "This is... Director Jiang's writing..."

The treasure they accidentally dug out was actually Jiang Peifeng's collection, a letter she had written to Ruan Jiyun.

It has been nearly a hundred years since Jiang Peifeng passed away. It is self-evident that this stack of memories buried in time is so precious. Zhen Zhen re-covered the box and solemnly handed it back to the only owner present. Ms. Ruan was equally serious. take it.

"Thank you." Being able to get the relics of her relatives again made her feel a little emotional. "Maybe this is what people often call 'fate'. I will send the letter to China as soon as possible. I believe grandma and the others will see it." I'd be happy too…”

Lu Jiaren never dreamed that she could have a magical relationship with her idol in this form. Although the letter was a personal item, they couldn't open it immediately, but just seeing the stack of letter paper itself, she still felt that happy.

Because of this wonderful accident, Ms. Ruan strongly invited them to stay here for a few days. As a small town famous for its wine, it is customary to hold an annual "New Birthday" in May, and the residents of the town will gather in the square , held a grand cycling race around the vineyards.

The yard was filled with happy screams. The little girl Emily stepped on the pedals quickly, slid all the way through the yard gate, and stopped accurately in front of the flower bed. With a happy smile on her face, she smiled and looked not far away. of two people.

Compared with the little girl's ease, Lu Jiaren's expression looked very serious. She pushed the bicycle in her hand down the steps, looked at Zhen Zhen uncertainly and asked, "Do you really want to learn?"

Zhen Zhen nodded: "Yes."

She heard Ms. Ruan mention it during breakfast. As a traditional event in the town, the Cycling Tour of the Vineyard is not only grand in scale, but also rich in rewards. A bottle of exclusive red wine for the competition——specially customized from the winery under the name of Jiang Peifeng.

Veteran fan Lu Jiaren immediately decided to sign up for the competition, and cast his anticipation on Zhen Zhen who was opposite.

Wouldn't it be logical for one more person to participate in the competition to have an extra bottle of idol brand red wine?

Facing his wife's eager eyes, Zhen Zhen lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, and fell silent in a rare way.

"I don't want that much either," Lu Jiaren hesitated seeing Zhen Zhen take over the bicycle unskillfully, "Just a prize."

Zhen Zhen stabilized the car in silence. She had never ridden a bicycle before. When she was a child, she lived in her grandfather's house. No one of the adults thought of teaching her. When she grows up, it feels a bit like learning to ride a bicycle as an adult. I'm sorry, I went back and forth again and again, but I didn't expect to be connected to this skill again in a small town in the far south of France.

She shook her head indifferently and said, "It's okay, I'll give it a try, and if I can learn it, I will join you in the competition."

At the dinner table just now, she noticed that Lu Jiaren's expression was obviously longing. If she only got a bottle of wine as a prize, she would definitely be reluctant to drink it given her personality. Zhen Zhen wanted to help her win another bottle of wine.

Recalling the demonstration moves made by Emily, it seems that it is not too difficult, and my motor nerves are not bad, maybe I can learn it.

5 minute later.

Zhen Zhen staggered from the car again and landed on the ground with black lines all over her head. Beside her, the big white dog was happily circling her back and forth, making an extremely excited "bark" sound, which blended with Emily's laughter to create an unusually cheerful sound. atmosphere.

Zhen Zhen patted the non-existent dust, pretending not to care and said, "Well, it's a little more complicated than imagined."

Lu Jiaren: ...

The practice lasted until the afternoon, during which Zhen Zhen fell from the car five times, was forcibly dragged away by Lu Jiaren three times, and watched the joint demonstration of the puppy and the children eleven times. In the end, it was Ms. Ruan who pushed the door and entered to break the deadlock .

Stared at by all the big and small eyes in the courtyard, Ms. Ruan put the shopping bag on the table and said, "Do you know that there are tandem bicycles sold in the shops in the town?"
