Chapter 324

It's a chorus.

Qi Xia stopped.

Helene's hand on her waist tightened, and the meaning of comfort was very obvious.

Qi Zhensheng's footsteps stopped, and he looked a little uncomfortable. He grabbed the chrysanthemum in his right hand, "Xia Xia, a Cheng, you're coming too."

He Liancheng's lips moved. Just when he wanted to speak, there came a startled voice from behind, "grandma, what's the matter with you?"

Then it's the voice of the little wing. "Grandma's asthma is gone, little boy. Do you see if grandma's spray is in that pocket?"

Heliancheng and Qi Xia hurriedly turned around to help him. He took the spray from Xiao Li's hands and sprayed several times before the old woman's nose. Her sharp gasping voice gradually weakened and her convulsive body slowly and steadily. Even so, she hung her head, unwilling to lift it.

Qi Xia held her arm and said anxiously, "aunt, why don't you sit down and have a rest?"

She breathed slowly and said slowly, "it's all right... I'm all right..."

Qi Zhensheng looked at them in a daze. Obviously, he didn't understand what was going on with their combination.

After he Liancheng confirmed that the old lady had recovered, he patted Xiaoyi's small head and said, "Xiaoyi, little darling, why don't you call someone? Call grandpa quickly."

The two children's first reaction was to look at Qi Xia's face, because they all knew that their mommy didn't like Grandpa.

Qi Xia's expression was faint and did not show displeasure.

So the two children were relieved and cried with a smile, "Hello Grandpa."

Qi Zhensheng was so excited that he almost burst into tears and said repeatedly, "well, you are also good."

"Let's go. It's getting late." Qi Xia patted the shoulders of the two children, but still didn't answer Qi Zhensheng. After all, their relationship has been rigid for so many years. Even if she is willing to put down her hatred for him, she is still not ready to face him.

Qi Zhensheng looked stiff.

He Liancheng's lips were hooked and said faintly, "father-in-law, let's go first."

Qi Zhensheng was shocked suddenly, his eyes quickly brightened and nodded, "OK, you go first, I'll accompany your mother-in-law."

Qi Xia's face changed and her lips were tight. She wanted to say something, but she finally held back.

The old woman's fingers holding the crutch suddenly trembled. Her body was unstable and shook. Qi Xia quickly helped her, "aunt, are you okay?"

"I... I'm fine..." her voice trembled a little.

Qi Xia thought that she had not recovered from her illness just now, and couldn't care to stay angry with Qi Zhensheng, so she helped her to go outside the tomb.

Qi Zhensheng looked at the back of their group leaving. Finally, he put his eyes on the old woman and frowned slightly. The thin body arched its back as if it was carrying a kilo of weight. It was full of sadness and loneliness, which would make him feel sad.

The old woman seemed to be very taboo when others saw her face. All the way, she kept her head down and hid herself in the corner without saying a word.

Helian city took her to the station. At the station, she could take the minibus back to the township. After their husband and wife sent her on the bus, the minibus had not started yet. Qi Xia saw many fruit vendors around the station. She whispered to Helian City, and then walked quickly to the fruit stall to buy some fruit.

Qi Xia got on the minibus and planned to give the fruit to the old woman. She looked around and saw an old face in the penultimate row.

The left side of the face was uneven, with terrible scars, and the right side was full of wrinkles. Against her gray hair, she looked old. Her turbid eyes were full of surprise. Shu'er, she lowered her head in a panic to avoid Qi Xia's sight.

The driver was already urging. Qi Xia had no time to think again. She quickly walked to the old woman, stuffed the fruit bag into her hand and said, "aunt, take these fruits with you and eat them on the road. Be careful on the road."

The old woman held the fruit bag tightly with her dead tree skin hands, nodded with emphasis, and sobbed in her voice, "OK, bye."

"Miss, I'm going to drive. Please hurry down." The driver is urging again.

Qi Xia only had time to say "goodbye" and hurried off.

On the way home, Qi Xia always felt something was wrong.

Helene saw her frowning and thinking, and smiled, "wife, what are you thinking?"

"I always think it's strange..."

"What's strange?"

Qi Xia suddenly turned to look at him and said seriously, "husband, that aunt, she lives 50 or 60 kilometers away from city A. why do you want to visit her grave here?"

Helene raised her eyebrows. "Maybe the one in the cemetery is her friend."

"Well, if what you said is correct... I found that the apple tray in front of the tomb overturned and the apples rolled to the ground. If it was the tomb of an old aunt friend, why did she let the apples roll to the ground without picking them back to the tray?"

"Maybe it happened suddenly and she forgot. Wife, do you think too much? " He Liancheng thought that the old woman was a very ordinary old man, and there was nothing special.

"Maybe," Qi Xia frowned. "The reason why I think she is strange is that when I sent the fruit to the car, I accidentally saw her face. Although it is full of wrinkles and scars, I can hardly see her true face, but I always feel that there is some familiarity between her eyebrows and eyes..."

Hearing what she said, Helian city also had an idea, "she lowered her head all the way and didn't seem to want us to see her face."

An idea came out of Qi Xia's mind, "husband, do you think the old aunt would be someone I used to know?"

Helian city's lips bent. "Wife, don't care too much. If we have fate, we'll meet her. You'll ask again at that time."

"Well, you're right!"

A month later, Qi Xia almost forgot about it, but suddenly something happened that made her notice the old woman's strangeness again.

On this day, she picked up Xiaoyi's three brothers and sisters from school and parked the car not far from the school gate. She waited for the children in this place every time. They already knew the specific location, so she didn't get off in a hurry.

She sat in the car waiting for the children. Inadvertently, she looked up and found an old figure standing across the street. When she looked at it, it was an old woman.

She was surprised that the school door opened and a group of children poured out.

The old woman quickly hid her body behind the column, slightly stretched out her head, saw the three little wings at the school gate, raised her lips and smiled in her eyes.

The children chirped towards Qixia's BMW.

Qi Xia opened the door for them, welcomed them into the car, told them a few words, then got off and ran across the road.

The old woman's eyes kept following the children, so when she saw Qi Xia get off the bus, she quickly shrunk back and leaned behind the column. She wanted to wait until they were far away. Unexpectedly, Qi Xia's voice suddenly appeared in her ear, "aunt."

The old woman turned her head stiffly, hunched her back and hid her face.

"Aunt, why are you here?" Qi Xia was full of questions.

The old woman's head hung more fiercely and whispered, "I'll pass by here and have a look."

"Aunt, did we know each other before?"

The old woman's tone was a little flustered, "no, I don't know."

"But I think you look familiar."

The old woman said without hesitation, "you must have read it wrong!"

Qi Xia hesitated for a moment and suddenly reached out to hold her shoulder and tried to make her raise her head to face herself, but she was so stubborn that she refused to raise her head.

"Aunt, I want to see your face."

"No, my face is too terrible. I'd better not scare you. Madam, I should go. Please let me go."

Qi Xia had no choice but to let her go, "aunt, where are you going? I'll see you off."

"No." The old woman didn't want to stay longer for a moment. She walked quickly to the intersection with a crutch, but her legs and feet were inconvenient. She almost tripped several times. Her back looked both flustered and embarrassed.

Qi Xia felt a little sad. She bit her lip, ran quickly to the old woman and held her arm. "Aunt, let me see you off. My car is parked over there."

"No, really." The old woman struggled a few times, but Qi Xia grabbed her arm tightly and almost dragged her to BMW. She had to give up the struggle.

From an angle invisible to Qi Xia, the old woman's eyes were filled with tears.

Qi Xia helped the old woman to get on the bus. The three children were surprised. Xiaoguai cried in surprise, "grandma, have you come to see us again?"

Again?

This word is profound and thought-provoking.

The old woman rubbed her hands awkwardly and explained to Qi Xia, "a few days ago, I sent strawberries to the city and visited three children by the way."

"So it is. Thank you for thinking about it." Qi Xia smiled and nodded. It seems that she also came to see the children today, not what she said just now.

Why does the old woman like three children so much? Qi Xia is really more and more curious.

Qi Xia saw through the rearview mirror that the old woman was touching the little girl's hair intimately, whispered a story to the children, coughed and asked, "aunt, where else are you going? Or take you directly to the station? "

The old woman paused and said, "take me to the station, please."

Qi Xia took her to the minibus, watched the bus leave the station, and then took the children home. On the way, she asked, "why didn't you tell me about grandma's visit to you a few days ago?"

Three little guys, look at me and I'll look at you. Finally, Xiaobao raised his arm and replied, "report to mom. At that time, grandma asked us not to tell adults. She also said that she didn't mean any harm. She was worried that you would be unhappy after you knew it. She was not allowed to visit us."

Qi Xia was speechless and stared at the three innocent and lovely faces in the mirror. "Do you think your father and I are the kind of unreasonable people?"

The three shook their heads together, their voices were sweet and greasy, "no"

"Are you still hiding it from me?"

The little darling tooted her mouth pitifully, "because grandma asked us for a long time, so we agreed."

Xiaoyi asked seriously, "Mommy, are you angry now?"

Qi Xia was very frustrated. "Forget it, I'm not angry."

Qi Xia had an idea in her mind that she wanted to find out the identity of the old woman. Although she also saw that the old woman didn't mean any harm, she always felt that the old woman was hiding something from her.
