help her chase his wife

Jian Qiao never thought that one day, she would see Li Wan on the streets of Jiyang.

Today is the Lantern Festival, the bustling market is full of joy and excitement.

Grandma was discharged from the hospital yesterday, and this morning she urged Jian Qiao to come here to buy glutinous rice balls.

Although they have moved to the north for many years, the grandparents and grandchildren who have southern tastes still prefer glutinous rice balls every time this festival comes, and rarely eat Yuanxiao.

Amid the shouts of celebration, Jian Qiao took the glutinous rice balls and fruits and walked to the butcher stall. She asked the proprietress to cut a catty of mutton and two catties of lamb chops.

The proprietress frowned, praised her for being beautiful and juicy, and said with a smile that she would charge her one yuan less.

Jian Qiao has a thin skin and is not very good at dealing with such situations, so she just said thank you warmly, then paid the money and left with her things.

On the way back, she saw a lantern shop with four large red characters written on the plaque: Lucky and Ruyi.

For some reason, Jian Qiao was inexplicably attracted to this store, and she wanted to go in and have a look.

But the business of the lantern shop was too prosperous, and the left and right sides were full of vehicles, so Jian Qiao had no choice but to drive forward for a certain distance, and then turned back on foot.

The decoration in the store is antique and full of charm. Jian Qiao sniffed and could smell a faint fragrance.

After looking left and right for a while, Jian Qiao finally selected four rosy-colored lanterns with inscriptions on them, which were combined in order: Happy Lantern Festival.

Jian Qiao held two lanterns in each of her left and right hands, and went out with a smile.

She just took two steps before she froze in place in astonishment.

Across the street, in front of a jewelry store, Li Wan stood facing the wind, looking straight at here.

Jian Qiao's first reaction was that she had hallucinations.

She lowered her head subconsciously, blinked vigorously, and looked up again.

Li Wan still stood there, the morning breeze slightly messed up her curly hair.

It was not an illusion, not to mention that she had seen the dark woolen coat and blue trousers that this person was wearing before, and Jian Qiao unconsciously clenched the lantern pole in her hand——At the same time, her heart was also overwhelmed. Feeling the pain of suffocation and convulsions, the images of Li Wan loathing and hating her tormented her nerves, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Jian Qiao avoids Li Wan's gaze in shock, and rushes to her car in a panic holding the lantern.

Li Wan had a panoramic view of Jian Qiao's reaction, and she retracted her legs that had already been stepped forward...

"Qiao Er, why are these lanterns deflated?" Grandma looked at the lanterns on the tea table wonderingly.

Jian Qiao recovered from her daze, and lied nonchalantly: "I accidentally fell down on the road and crushed it." In fact, she squeezed too hard when she was holding the lantern and ran.

"Did you get hurt?" Grandma looked worried, and hurriedly pulled her to check, "Is there any bleeding?"

"No, I'm dressed thickly, it's fine."

At this moment, there was a door call outside the courtyard, and Jian Qiao's eyebrows twitched fiercely. She carefully identified it, the voice was thick, it was a man's voice, and it was definitely not Li Wan.

Jian Qiao was relieved, so she put on her shoes and went out to answer the door.

As soon as she opened the door, Jian Qiao saw Uncle Tong and Li Wan standing behind him.

Uncle Tong opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say a few words, but because of the stagnant and dull atmosphere, he quietly withdrew and went to the car instead.

Time passed by every minute, and the knot in Jian Qiao's heart became tighter and tighter, and thin sweat oozes from her forehead.

With a dejected face and a disheveled face, she hunched her back and begged bitterly: "Grandma is getting old and in poor health, so she can't stand it... If you have any dissatisfaction, just let me know, don't involve her old man. "

Li Wan pursed her lips and remained silent.

Jian Qiao didn't dare to look at her, she just lowered her eyes and raised her finger to the sky: "I... I swear, I never thought of playing with your feelings, nor did I intend to deceive you... Really..." She wanted to try to explain , but just started, a lot of words were stuck in her chest, she didn't know where to start, and she was afraid that Li Wan would not have the patience to listen, so she could only bow her head bitterly and apologize, "Anyway, it's all my fault , I provoked you, and brought you harm... I'm really sorry."

Li Wan glanced at Jian Qiao lightly, and missed her sideways, wanting to go inside.

Jian Qiao was so frightened that she quickly grabbed Li Wan's sleeve, and when the man turned her head to look over, she let go of her hand in surprise.

Seeing Li Wan raised her foot again, Jian Qiao strode over, stretched out her arms to stop her: "Please..."

"Qiao Er, who is outside?" After waiting for a long time, grandma was a little anxious, got up and walked out slowly.

It's just that I haven't seen her for many years, and because of her old eyesight, grandma couldn't recognize Li Wan for a while.

"Joe, who is that girl in front of you?"

Jian Qiao's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she swallowed nervously.

"I won't do anything to grandma." Li Wan deliberately lowered her voice.

Jian Qiao was stunned for a moment, and when she was stunned, Li Wan had already bypassed her and headed for her grandmother.

"Grandma, I'm Li Wan. I used to live in your house with grandpa when I was a child. Do you remember me?" Li Wan stopped a step away from grandma.

The loving smile on grandma's face froze in an instant, and her expression became unnatural: "It's Xiao Wan." She didn't know what her granddaughter had experienced in Jing County, so that she was still depressed, but she It is clear that these changes of Jian Qiao are all related to Li Wan.

"Grandma, long time no see, won't you invite me in for a while?" Li Wan shrank her neck deliberately, "It's so cold outside."

"...Come in." Grandma's tone sounded reluctance, she didn't want Li Wan to have anything to do with Jian Qiao anymore, but it's not good to just shut people out like this.

Grandma went to the sofa in the living room, Li Wan sat across from her, and Jian Qiao stood aside anxiously.

None of the three of them opened their mouths to speak, the atmosphere was almost eerily quiet, and a needle could be heard.

In the end, it was grandma who broke the silence first: "I don't know what happened between you two, and Qiaoer didn't want to tell me, but I guess, you should have broken up... Originally, I disagreed with the matter between you two. Origin, family background, knowledge, none of you are compatible, and your personalities are not suitable, it is a good thing for you to separate."

Li Wan acted as if she didn't hear it, and didn't respond at all.

Seeing that she was unmoved, grandma frowned slightly, and then continued to speak earnestly.

"I've never been here before," Li Wan interrupted suddenly, "Please ask Grandma to let Jian Qiao show me around."

Grandma was stunned for a moment, then agreed, and then secretly winked at Jian Qiao to let her know.

The two went out and came to an orchard. Li Wan stopped abruptly, and Jian Qiao, who was two arms away from her, also stopped, with a panicked expression.

Li Wan wanted to turn around, but she caught sight of Jian Qiao's reaction out of the corner of her eye, and held back.

"I know that you gave me a blood transfusion and helped me get rid of the drug addiction in my body." She woke up once in the middle and heard some words.

Jian Qiao trembled her eyelashes, but still didn't dare to look at her.

Li Wan broke off a dry branch and pinched it in the palm of her hand, her fingertips turned white: "Now... I don't blame you anymore."

Hearing this sentence, Jian Qiao's nasal cavity suddenly felt sour, and the hot and humid liquid slowly slid down the corner of her eyes to her chin.

"Thank you..." Jian Qiao's voice was choked with tears in her mouth.

"You..." Li Wan turned her head, saw her tears, and swallowed back what she wanted to say.

There was a vibration in the pocket, Jian Qiao took out the phone and looked at it, it was Jian Yu calling.

Li Wan turned her face away, and waved the branch in her hand twice indiscriminately.

Jian Qiao wiped away her tears, and swiped the screen to answer the phone.

"Grandma told me that Li Wan is here in Jiyang." Jian Yu reached out to stop a taxi, "Sister Qiu and I took urgent leave and we are going back now."

Jian Qiao didn't say anything after hearing this.It's just that Li Wan left before Jian Yu rushed over.

At noon, Jian Yu cooked glutinous rice balls and stewed mutton. Jian Qiao seemed to have a good appetite and ate quite a lot.For this reason, grandma and Jian Yu often looked at her secretly, and they even exchanged glances quietly.

It's just that Jian Qiao's face is too calm, and the two of them can't see anything.

After washing the dishes, Jian Qiao wiped her hands and was ready to go back to her room.

Jian Yu hesitated for a few seconds, but finally gave up the idea of ​​following Jian Qiao upstairs.She mused that the man might want to be alone.

Putting on her pajamas, Jian Qiao kicked off her shoes and got under the quilt. She was wearing earphones, listening to the rustling rain, her nerves gradually relaxed, and sleepiness slowly struck...

She slept very peacefully this time—it was a long-lost feeling.
