Chapter 323 Do You Like It
Now this courtyard is still inhabited, and the two small houses in front of Mu Qian's family of three have also been replaced with new owners.
The door was locked, and only one corner of the curtain could see the inside.
Mu Qian lay on the window and looked inside for a long time before finally turning around and whispering: "It's different from before."
Mu Qian turned around, sat down on the steps in front of the house, passed Huo Jinxi's figure, and quietly looked at the yard in front of him.
"In the past, my mother used to wash her hair in that corner... In summer, we had dinner in the yard... My mother used to learn to cook with her neighbor's aunt, but she burned her hands as soon as she went to school. My father couldn't bear to let her go.
She started, so he would cook... But sometimes when my father painted, he would forget to eat and sleep, and his mother would take me out to the restaurant, which was in the alley, and it was still there for so many years..."
Mu Qian held his chin and narrated the fragmented life of the past, and lost his mind as he talked.
Huo Jinxi stood quietly in front of her, always silent.
Until suddenly a resident walked into the yard from outside and saw the two of them, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? You are not allowed to visit this!"
Mu Qian suddenly came to his senses, raised his eyes and his eyes lit up instantly, "Uncle Wang?"
When she shouted like this, Old Wang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After observing her carefully for a moment, he still couldn't recognize her, "Who are you?"
Mu Qian quickly stood up and pointed to the two rooms behind him, "I'm Mu Qian."
"Mu Qian?" Old Wang recalled carefully for a moment, and suddenly laughed with enlightenment, "Oh, it's you little girl, you have grown up so big and beautiful, Uncle Wang can't recognize you! How many of these are there
It’s been the year, why do you remember to come back and take a look?”
Mu Qian smiled and walked up to the front, turned around and introduced to Huo Jinxi, "This is Uncle Wang, our neighbor. He took care of me when he was a child. When my parents were away, I would have had a meal at their house."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi reached out to Old Wang, "Uncle Wang, hello, my name is Huo Jinxi."
"Is this... your boyfriend?" Old Wang looked at Huo Jinxi with a smile and shook hands.
Mu Qian glanced at Huo Jinxi and shrugged, "My husband."
"Are you married?" Old Wang suddenly smiled and said, "No, not bad, a handsome man and beautiful woman, really a good match... By the way, how are your parents? I haven't come back to see you for so many years, and I don't have one, either
information."
Hearing this question, Huo Jinxi's eyes darkened and he looked at Mu Qian.
Mu Qian lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, "Dad... passed away more than ten years ago..."
Old Wang's smile suddenly froze on his face, "How could this happen?"
"Just shortly after we moved, my father went to the hospital." Mu Qian said, "I was too young at that time and I couldn't remember what disease my father had... Anyway, his health was not good every day, and he died soon after
It's... "
When Old Wang heard this, he sighed with great regret, "What about your mother?"
With a word, Mu Qian's eyes turned red in an instant, but she was still smiling, "Mom is gone, she left yesterday."
Old Wang's face suddenly became solemn.
Huo Jinxi reached out and hugged Mu Qian.
Old Wang looked at Mu Qian with heartache, and after a long time, he said, "You must be mourning."
Mu Qian was silent for a moment before speaking again: "Don't worry, I'm actually... quite happy for my mother. After leaving for so many years, she has been unhappy all the time, but now, she can finally meet and reunite with her father.
I know she is actually very happy. Since she is happy, I have nothing to be sad about."
After hearing her words, Huo Jinxi looked down at her, and then took her into her arms.
It was almost noon, and the two of them stayed for lunch at the invitation of Lao Wang.
Now that Old Wang is getting older, his son has bought a new house when he works outside. Only Old Wang and his wife live in the yard. They have been living for many years. There are actually many inconveniences in life, but after living for decades, their emotions and habits have long been around.
Replaced those inconveniences.
In Mu Qian's memory, the old Wang and his wife have been quarreling constantly. Now that they are old this year, the communication between them is still the same as before. You say something and I say something, but they have a special understanding between them. Look,
It turns out that the relationship is really good.
Mu Qian has been free meals at their house since she was a child. After many years, although she felt a little uncomfortable, seeing the old couple's way of getting along, she quickly brought her back to her former situation.
For Huo Jinxi, he probably didn't get used to this situation, just because ordinary families like Lao Wang and his wife were never within the scope of their relationship, but were eating in such a cramped little house.
It was probably the first time for him.
But the old Wang and his wife were particularly enthusiastic and kept calling him: "Come on, Xiao Huo, eat more. You see, you are from a wealthy family, don't mind the simple food."
Mu Qian held a piece, while eating the same food as before, while waiting to see Huo Jinxi's reaction.
She originally thought that with Huo Jinxi's temperament, she would not like and adapt to such scenes, but Huo Jinxi was particularly calm and composed-
He drank the white wine that Lao Wang poured;
He ate the dishes that Lao Wang and his wife picked up.
He is clearly a person who is extremely picky about food. He is very diligent in picking up the table of home-cooked side dishes.
When Old Wang's wife asked him how it tasted, he would also smile and answer: "It tastes very good."
After three rounds of drinking, Mu Qian also asked him quietly: "Is it delicious?"
Huo Jinxi put a peanut into his mouth, turned his head to look at her, and replied: "It's delicious."
After a meal, Mu Qian didn't pick him wrong.
After lunch, Lao Wang had to keep them, but Mu Qian had to deal with Rong Qingzi's funeral in the afternoon, so she couldn't stay for too long.
"Old man, I just bought the winter dates this morning. Please bring some to Qianqian and let them eat them on the road!"
"knew!"
"Oh, why are you holding such a small bag? How many can you hold?"
"Don't I have two bags?"
"Decorate more! Qianqian has only been back once in so many years, and you can't bear to leave a few dates!"
"Aren't I pretending? You old lady, you're so nagging!"
...
The couple was in the room for Mu Qian and Huo Jin to wear dates. Mu Qian and Huo Jinxi stood at the door. Listening to the noisy sound inside, Mu Qian glanced at Huo Jinxi, "If you bear it, we will
Go away.”
Huo Jinxi looked at her and said slowly: "I don't feel it's unbearable."
