Back to the end of the world: I rely on hundreds of millions of materials to lie down and win natura

Wen Qizhou nodded in cooperation.

He didn't reveal the childish innocence of Chi Yue. He raised his knuckles and scratched the tip of her nose: "What kind of fish do you want to eat tonight?"

"Steamed or braised?"

"I choose braised fish." Mingzhang, who hadn't eaten braised fish for a while, couldn't help but interrupt when he heard their conversation.

Yunqi: "I choose steamed."

Wen Yaxian: "It's also good to make fish soup." It's a pity that they don't have tofu now, otherwise the soup would taste even better.

"Then we might as well have a fish feast." Ge Huai put on his shoes and socks, picked up a bucket full of stream water and followed them through the bamboo forest.

Chi Yue smiled: "It's not impossible."

She raised Wen Qizhou's index finger and listened to them discuss the various ways to eat fish, walking slowly and slowly under the glow of the sun.

Walking on the path leading to the brick house, two children squatting in front of their yard and playing crickets suddenly came into view.

They looked about five or six years old.

The boy wearing an Optimus Prime T-shirt had his back to them, and next to the girl in a pink princess dress, he played with the crickets crawling between them, occasionally letting out bursts of laughter.

"Brother Yu, someone is coming..."

The girl was the first to notice their presence.

She tugged on the boy's sleeve. The boy looked back and his eyes fell on the faces of Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou. They seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where they had seen them before.

It was Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou who recognized him first.

"Jiayu?" Yuan Jiayu is Yuan Chuan's son. As soon as he saw him, Chi Yue stepped forward, squatted down and stroked the top of his hair, raised his eyes and asked, "Do you still remember me?"

Yuan Jiayu racked his brains to think about it.

It was when Chi Yue mentioned that they had been neighbors that a blurry picture emerged in his mind.

"...Auntie?" I haven't seen her in the past three years, so it's rare that he can still call out the old address.

Chi Yue smiled even more: "Hey." She pinched Yuan Jiayu's face with small breasts: "Where are your dad and the others?"

"Dad is abroad."

"what?"

Yuan Jiayu repeated: "My mother said that my father is training abroad and I can't see him until I grow up."

The words to coax the child reached the ears, and the smile that had just bloomed on Chi Yue's face disappeared completely in an instant.

Wen Qizhou also fell silent.

They recalled Yuan Chuan's silly smile, the moments when they advanced and retreated together in Yujingwan, and the scene when he choked up and told them to "live well" on the eve of their separation.

Everything seemed to have happened yesterday, and the images that had always remained in their memory flashed through their minds like a fleeting glance, or like a ball of cotton stuck in their hearts, making them extremely uncomfortable.

"Aunt?" Yuan Jiayu sensed Chi Yue's leaked emotions, blinked and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

"No."

Chi Yue took a deep breath.

She suppressed the sadness in her eyes and scanned the surrounding brick buildings with her almond-shaped eyes: "Jiayu, where do you live now?"

"There." He pointed to the brick house directly opposite them, which was Zheng Yuanyang's home.

"How many of you live?"

"Three, and Uncle Zheng."

Zheng Yuanyang told them not long ago that he fled to Honggou Village with his wife and children...

Chi Yue's mood was slightly complicated.After much thought, she decided to pay a visit, at least to find out when Yuan Chuan's accident happened.

"Xunsong." Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Xunsong who had been staring at them. She waved for someone to come over, took out a handful of candy and stuffed it into his hand: "You share it with your younger brothers and sisters."

Xunsong nodded: "Okay!"

It was rare to see his peers, so he couldn't wait to join the squatting team, pretending to be a big brother and handing out candies to them.

Seeing that they were very receptive to their new partners, Chi Yue gave up the idea of ​​introducing them to each other, picked up the bucket at his feet, and did not disturb them anymore.

"Xiao Qi, do you want to play with them?" Chi Yue filled a bowl of water with two pieces of his favorite chocolate for him.

"...I am 16 years old this year."

"Age is not an issue."

Yunqi refused: "Forget it." He glanced at the three dumplings with their butts sticking out, crossed the threshold of the courtyard gate and slipped away.

Chi Yue shook her head and laughed.

She and Wen Qizhou followed closely behind, put down the bucket full of stream water, turned on their toes, and walked towards the tile-roofed house where Lu Hui lived.

The courtyard door of the tile-roofed house is open.

Zheng Yuanyang, who was sitting on the steps choosing food, was stunned for two seconds after hearing what they said, and then invited them to sit in the living room.

"Ah Hui, Ah Hui." He poured two glasses of water for Wen Qizhou and his wife, and while calling Lu Hui's name, he walked into the diagonal bedroom.

Not long after, the person whom they hadn't seen in nearly three years slowly approached the square table where they were sitting.

Lu Hui has not changed much.

Her face was rosy, and her gentle temperament was still as gentle as ever, mixed with the tenacity left by years of tempering.

The only difference is──
She is pregnant.

"Xiaoyue, Qizhou." She held her back and sat on the chair, greeting them with a smile. Uneasiness and nostalgia flashed in her eyes: "Yuanyang said you were coming. I couldn't believe it. I didn't expect you were actually here. See you guys.”

"We didn't expect that either."

She never thought that Yuan Chuan would become her past tense, and she never thought that she would be pregnant with someone else's child.

Chi Yue stroked the tea cup, looking at her pregnant belly, unable to calm down: "Sister Hui, how are you doing?"

"Very good." Lu Hui stroked her pregnant belly and looked sideways at Zheng Yuanyang, who was sitting back on the steps choosing vegetables: "Yuanyang has a good temper, treats me very gently, and treats Jiayu as his own child."

"how long have you been together?"

"One and a half years." She paused for two seconds and took the initiative to mention Yuan Chuan: "After Brother Chuan left, he has been taking care of me and Jiayu. Without him, we would not be alive today."

Yuan Chuan happened after the flood.

At that time, he and the men in his team went outside to look for supplies. Unfortunately, they encountered a mudslide. Because they could not escape in time, he and two other people on the boat were submerged on the spot.

Out of guilt, the captain escorted the family to the Shangyang base to settle down. However, the Yuan family and his wife, who had suffered the loss of their son, were in poor health and left shortly after.

It was a really difficult time.

If Zheng Yuanyang hadn't appeared in time to help them unconditionally again and again, she probably wouldn't be able to last long.

"Then...are you doing it out of gratitude?" Chi Yue was referring to her acceptance of Zheng Yuanyang shortly after Yuan Chuan's death.

Lu Hui shook her head: "No." She had no intention of concealing or making up: "I can distinguish between gratitude and love. I am willing to accept him because I like him, without adding anything else."

She is open.

It was so magnanimous that Chi Yue found it difficult to describe.

"Maybe you think it's too fast, but emotional matters really don't make sense." Lu Hui didn't get a response from her, and continued: "If it were you, wouldn't you do it for someone who doesn't ask for anything in return and just loves you?" Are your people tempted?"
