Back to Qiao's house, it was just time for dinner. Aunt Qiao and the servants were already making arrangements. Qiao Dongcheng took me in. Aunt Qiao smiled when she saw it: "Dongcheng is really beautiful. It's very heroic. Take Chihiro up quickly. You change your clothes and come down for dinner. Chihiro, I asked the kitchen to cook some dishes you liked when you were a child, which your mother taught me to cook before."

"Thank you, aunt Qiao."

"You're welcome. Go up, change your clothes, wash your hands and eat. The master is back." she went out with a smile and cried happily outside: "I still buy so many litchi."

"Chihiro likes to eat. Put it in the fridge."

There was a moment in my heart. It was very warm and a little home.

Qiao Dongcheng took my hand upstairs and said, "Chihiro, go and change your clothes. I'm hungry."

When I was very young, my mother brought me to Joe's house, and I also played behind his ass. then my mother and Joe's mother talked and laughed in the downstairs living room, and would call us at dinner.

Looking down, the lilies on the small table are still so beautiful.

Mom always laughed at me and Qiao Dongcheng: "you always play behind Dongcheng's ass and marry Dongcheng in the future."

"What are you looking at?" Qiao Dongcheng came back. "Go change your clothes, wash your hands and eat."

"Oh, OK."

The food was delicious and had the taste of mother. No one mentioned the lawsuit again. After dinner, the fruit was fresh litchi airlifted. There were early listed litchi in South China in May, but it was still very few in Beijing.

After the ice was frozen, it became more and more sweet. Qiao Dongcheng stripped me a few. Qiao Shibo smiled happily: "Dongcheng, be careful and take care of Chihiro. You are a man and Chihiro will be your wife."

"Yes, Dad."

"Chihiro, I like to eat more. Your uncle sent more this time. After a while, I'll drink some herbal tea from the south. Tomorrow morning, you and Dongcheng will take some lychees to visit your mother. Your mother she..." the more she said, the more sad she was: "she used to like to eat."

Yes, my mother used to like to eat litchi. She could always eat a large plate with me. After eating, she was afraid of getting angry, so she asked people to boil some bitter herbal tea and pour it down.

Throw away a lot of secular and sharp contradictions. If you can still find your mother's shadow in Qiao's family, aunt Qiao and my mother are classmates and best friends after all. They know too many habits.

After eating litchi, the servant brought the boiled herbal tea, which was bitter and astringent, and also had a bit of home flavor.

I think I know why my parents always want me to marry Qiao Dongcheng, because I am a family child. The previous home has long been gone. The place to remember more is the Qiao family.

"Chihiro, there is a performance in the army tonight. I'll take you to see it."

"Go, you young people play more, we are old." Qiao Shibo smiled: "East City, take care of Chihiro more."

"Dad, I see." Qiao Dongcheng took my hand and went out.

For the first time, he took me out and into a part of his life.

The car was driven up the mountain, and the street lights looked particularly dim under the thick leaves.

Straight up to the top of the mountain, there is a viewing platform for enjoying the scenery, surrounded by high bars. Looking down, the city is full of bright lights and water, the mountain wind is as cool as water, blowing the hair, and the aroma is flashy.

"My father, he, will retire in a few months."

Qiao Dongcheng was holding the railing with his hands, which seemed a little sad.

"Sorry."

He stretched out his hand and rubbed my hair slightly spoiled: "it's none of your business. What's your apology? You don't understand political things. If you don't stand in the right team, you will be abandoned, just like your father."

I like it. He rubbed my hair so gently.

Just like when I was a child, he would take care of me. My parents were happy when they saw it.

"Dad, he's used to officialdom. Maybe there will be a lot of things happening in the Qiao family. Chihiro, I know you're disappointed with me, but this time, I want you to marry me and fulfill my father's wish. His recent physical examination report came out." he was very sad: "the doctor suggested to have another review."

I think it's a big thing, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

I took his hand and said, "well, Joe has always regarded me as his daughter, and I don't want to break his heart."

He clenched my hand: "I will, seriously and well, be a fiance and a husband in the future, take care of you, love you and don't make you sad."

I really didn't expect much of this.

Qiao Dongcheng, standing on the human floor, whispered these words. He always felt a little sad, such as seeing my shadow. Dad was in decline at that time. I talked to Lin Duan like this. I said Lin Duan, if our family is not as good as now, will you take care of me and love me.

Lin Duan just said I was stupid. I was really stupid to believe in eternity.

"Chihiro, if you don't want to spend these gloomy and depressed difficulties with me, I won't force you. After all... Lintuan is back."

"Oh, when did you know about me and Lin Duan?"

The wind blew a little cold. Qiao Dongcheng took off his coat and put it on my shoulder: "I knew it long ago. Lin Jing told me." he looked down at the fireworks and put a generous, lazy and slightly hurt in his eyes: "you have your world, so I respect your choice."

I leaned against the fence and smiled faintly: "Lin Duan came back to get married. Do you remember my cousin Feiyan? No, she went to the United States when we were very young. She is Lin Duan's bride."

He was a little surprised: "I don't know, Dongzi, they didn't say."

"You're not a gossip person. You're different from them. Qiao Dongcheng, I'd like to spend it with you. Anyway, I'm also alone. And Qiao Shibo loves me like a daughter."

There are not many people who really care about me.

I fell on Joe's body and gently hugged him: "anyway, I'm also alone."

He turned back and hugged me: "you don't know, you haven't been. Chihiro, it's cold here. Go down the mountain."

"Go back so early, Uncle..."

He lowered his head and lifted my hair behind his ears with slender hands: "the army really has a performance. Go and have a look."

I drove to the army. It was already a performance. It was very formal and serious. There was no fancy and shh.

He took my hand and sat down on the side. Immediately someone smiled: "Sir Qiao, this is my sister-in-law. It's so beautiful."

"Don't flatter. Go backstage and find a shawl. The night will be cold."

"Yes, sir Joe."

He found a shawl and put it on me: "it's no better than a concert."
