The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 567 See you soon

Lin Mi hugged Mrs. Ye tightly, as naturally as hugging his own mother, with a knowing smile on the corner of his mouth.

The veil fell, not by accident.A sly light flashed in Chen Xing's eyes.

Actually, Qilan recovered before Baizhi and the others came back.

His injury wasn't serious, he was half healed after getting a needle.

But Mrs. Ye's sincere concern for him is far from what a stranger can have when they meet for the first time and have not even spoken to him.

The chat between Lin Mi and Chris last night started after Chen Xing turned off the lights and fell asleep.

The two girls heard the snoring in the next room, and they laughed at this guy who was in a deep sleep. In his dream, he was put in a sack and thrown into the river without knowing it.

Unexpectedly, he simulated a snoring sound with his mouth while pressing his ears against the bedroom door.Originally, they planned to eavesdrop on whether Chris and Zhu Xingyuan had broken up, and whether she would still go to the dance hall to work, etc., which were whispers between girlfriends.

Unexpectedly, they kept talking about the little white dog in the painting in the living room of Mrs. Ye, the landlord, saying that it was exactly the same as Qilan's snowball.

Later, when Lin Mi asked her in a low voice if she had a husband and children, Chris shushed her fingers loudly, then carefully whispered to her ear:
"Mrs. Ye will feel a little sad when she sees a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. I guess she has had children before."

Neither of them had guessed the idea.But the listener is interested.

Accumulating the observations of Mrs. Ye on the way, Chen Xing also realized that this matter is not simple - why not use Qilan's injury to test her reaction.

This time Lin Mi was quite cheerful.He laughed at his bad idea on the lips, but acted decisively by "cooperating from the inside to the outside".

Bai Zhi next to her just breathed a sigh of relief, and before she could be happy, she was stunned by the slowly falling veil.

There was a long scratch on the smooth face.Although the color of the scars has been very light after careful treatment, it is incompatible with the even and delicate skin texture.

She subconsciously took out her handkerchief to help cover it up, but she heard Madam Mu, who was usually accompanied by Buddhist scriptures and rarely had emotional fluctuations, cried out in tears of joy:
"Sister Yun'er! It's really you!"

Back then, a strange thing happened in Gu's mansion:

One late night not long after Qilan was born, the second wife disappeared for no apparent reason.

Mr. Gu entrusted the police station to search everywhere, but there was no news of her, as if the world had disappeared.

The maids said they didn't see it.

The infant third brother was carried by the five-year-old Qi Jiang to play in the eldest wife's room, and escaped a catastrophe.

From behind the curtain, he saw a few black shadows jumping under the eaves with dangling knives and carrying sacks, and he was so frightened that he burst into tears.The eldest wife took a closer look and was immediately out of her wits. She quickly covered her son's mouth with her hand.

Qijiang was frightened and had a fever for several days, and he couldn't remember it when he woke up.

A year later, the third wife entered the door in a grand manner in eight large bridal sedan chairs.Give orders, domineering.Mr. Gu also opened his eyes and closed them.

From then on, the eldest wife believed in the Buddha silently, chanting scriptures every day, and only hoped that the troubled mother and child could be safe and sound.
Now, the person who has been missing for many years and loves his sister is standing in front of him alive, as if in a lifetime.The eldest wife repeatedly wiped her wet eyes, unable to believe it was true.

There were also tears welling up in Mrs. Ye's eyes.He let go of Lin Mi's hand, and nodded facing her:
"Sister Mu, in 15 years, things have changed."

As soon as the two elders opened their mouths, it was in the rhythm of reminiscing about the past, and the three children present all left the stage with interest.

Lin Mi was the first to retreat, and ran back the same way to guard Qilan.Bai Zhi went to make the pills and hurried up to the third floor.

Chen Xing rubbed his head, thinking that when there are too many people, he has to eat, and the brothers and sisters of the Bai family don't know how to cook, so they went into the kitchen familiarly.

Like relatives who have been separated for many years, the two of them clasped their hands tightly, tears streaming down their faces, and they had endless words to say.

"When you left, Xiaolan was not yet full moon. Now she has grown into a young man."

"Just grow taller, but I don't know if he has made progress. In terms of being smart and hardworking, Qijiang has been the best since he was a child."

Qilan who was lying on the bed just opened his eyes.Head still dizzy, accompanied by tinnitus.The chat between the two wives could not be heard clearly.

Holding the comb in his hand, Lin Mi combed his disheveled hair, while coquettishly said: "A certain person told me that he was looking for a house, but it turned out to be a lie, how should he be punished?"

"Mi'er, I'm sorry."

An apology made her amused instead: "Look at how scared you are. I can't bear to blame you, never will."

"But I did something wrong." Qilan choked up suddenly, and a bunch of chaotic images of the sniper appeared in front of his eyes.

He dare not say that Mrs. Lin has been shot.I fumbled around, but failed to rescue her mother after all.

"Don't cry, I have good news for you," Lin Mi pursed her lips and smiled coquettishly, "I promise you will be so happy that you won't be able to sleep."

The girl at the head of the bed hasn't smiled so happily for many days.He couldn't bear to spoil her, so he could only swallow the words that came to his lips.

Obviously, today is not a day suitable for confession or repentance, and I will slowly find an opportunity to tell the truth in the future.

"Xiaolan, are you feeling better?"

At some point, the eldest lady lifted the curtain and came in.Mrs. Ye followed behind.The veil on her face was gone, and in Qilan's view, the faint scars were not scary, but instead had a vicissitudes of beauty.

Her gentle eyes were like the sunshine in spring, covering him warmly.A kind of sourness passed from the tip of his nose all the way up, and he couldn't help but took a deep breath, suppressing the tears welling up in his eyes.

While in a coma, he had a long dream.In the dream, he turned back into a young and weak child, and fell down on a misty grass.A veiled woman approached him in the morning light, holding him high with both hands
"Who is she?" Lin Mi gently pushed his shoulder, "We all know, you are the only one missing."

"mom!"

Qilan's face was full of tears.Before Mrs. Ye could get close, she struggled and rolled over from under the bed, and staggered into her arms.

The telepathy between mother and child came quickly and suddenly.

The last time he saw her talking with Chris from a distance in front of the house, and he had a deep impression on her after just meeting him once.

This feeling of never forgetting is only the memory of the mother engraved in the blood.He has a thousand words to tell her, and he can't finish it for days and nights.

Chen Xing came in clapping his hands from the outside with a face full of ashes, "Xiao Lan found her mother, that's great."

"Brother Chen, it's hard for you to light a fire today. I'll go with you right away."

"No, I'll come, you just take a day off." After Lin Mi finished speaking, she followed Chen Xing to cook.

By the stove in the kitchen, she picked up a few sticks of firewood, buried her head in tinkering for a while, and managed to ignite the fire.

"Congratulations to Xiaolan for finding her mother. I baked it specially. It's delicious, try it!"

Chen Xing picked out the sweet potatoes that had been buried in the firewood and handed them over one by one.Her bright eyes reflected the flames, and a light of hope rose.

"Brother Chen, do you trust your intuition? I have a hunch in my heart that my mother didn't go to her hometown in the south, but is still waiting for me somewhere in the city. See you soon!"
