"I..."

Gu sang wanted to say "I'm not curious", but seeing Shen Shaochuan's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to change her tongue and ask, "why did you come back?"

Although she asked at the request of Shen Shaochuan, Shen Shaochuan was very happy.

Perhaps knowing her temperament, he didn't have the heart to care with her.

"Did you mention that I was born in Imperial City? My biological mother passed away very early, and I hardly remember her. But a few years ago, I happened to see a picture of my biological mother standing in the courtyard with me in her arms in the middle of my father's wallet.

It was the first time that I looked into my biological mother's eyes. Although I was only facing a photo, I was really happy. My biological mother was beautiful and had a bright smile. I was very curious about what soil and water brought up my biological mother's bright eyes. That photo became the reason for me to come back here

Gu sang looked at him in surprise: "so, are you back to trace the mark of your biological mother's life?"

"Yes, but over the past 30 years, too many changes have taken place in this city. I can't find any trace of the courtyard where my mother took pictures of me."

Shen Shaochuan sighed, and his face showed the first sad look he had ever known Gu sang.

Gu sang twisted his eyebrows: "courtyard? Thirty years ago, there were not many families in the imperial city who could own independent courtyards. Presumably, the conditions of your family were excellent. Why don't you ask your family if they have any old houses here? "

"I can't ask. Listen to my mother. Oh, I forgot to say that after my mother died, my father married my little aunt. They live together. My little aunt is my mother now.

Listen to her, before my father and my mother's feelings are very good, he left the Imperial City, is also afraid to touch the scene. So, in front of my father, we never mentioned my biological mother. That's why I'm not upset when you mention my biological mother in front of me. "

Shen Shaochuan said, leaning back: "I'm full, your craft is really not built."

Gu Sang put down the bowl, found a tissue to wipe his mouth, and wiped his hands.

"If I talk about the old house, I think of some places."

When she thought that her mother had taken her to an old residential area with a courtyard when she was a child, she suddenly thought of the courtyard Shen Shaochuan said.

"Yes, where?" As soon as Shen Shaochuan heard this, he suddenly became energetic.

Gu sang closed his eyes and carefully recalled the scene of playing in the old residential area when he was a child.

She closed her eyes and recalled with the impression: "it takes more than 40 minutes to get there by bus from the city. There is a mountain behind. There is a big blue lake in front of the mountain. The water vapor can be seen on the lake in the evening, just like a fairyland. Not far along the lake is an old house, each of which is a separate villa, a single door and a single courtyard, and the courtyards are all kinds of beauty. "

Thinking of this, Gu sang opened his eyes and looked at Shen Shaochuan.

"It's like the villa area of imperial city now. It looks like a luxury house."

Gu Sang's memory is more than that. In front of a courtyard with a swing tied to a big tree, her mother held her and cried for a long time.

Although she didn't know why her mother was sad, she knew that the house had a story for her mother when she was young.

"It's more than 40 minutes by bus. Do you remember where it is?"

Shen Shaochuan felt hopeful, and the whole person was excited.

Gu sang shook his head and said with some apologies, "I went there once when I was very young, but I was not very impressed. I don't know whether it was a dream or a real one, but my mother was there at that time. If you really want to find it, I can ask my mother for you."

"Really? Then you can ask for me now. "

Gu sang embarrassed smile: "I go back to help you ask."

"Why? How nice to ask now. I can also find someone to help me to have a look first. " Shen Shaochuan seems to be in a hurry.

"I'm sorry, I don't know my mom's contact information." it takes courage to say that.

"What?" Shen Shaochuan has never met a daughter who doesn't know her mother's contact information.

"I hope you don't ask me why I don't know my mother's contact information. I I have my own reasons. If you really want to know, I'll ask for you another day. "

Gu sang stood up with some formality: "I'm going to wash the dishes."

Watching Gu sang rush into the bathroom, Shen Shaochuan frowns and shakes his head.

What is it that makes a daughter not even know her mother's contact information?

This world is really rare, even such things, he is more and more curious about Gu sang.

Gu sang came out after washing the dishes and didn't plan to stay.

She packed the thermos and said to Shen Shaochuan, "I'll go back today. Do you have anything special to eat tomorrow? You can tell me now. I'll make it for you tomorrow morning."Shen Shaochuan Warm Yang lip smile: "your cooking is so good, you can do it, what you do, I like."

Gu sang heard his praise, pursed his lips and laughed: "OK, I'll go first. Goodbye."

After leaving the hospital, Gu sang didn't go home directly. Instead, he took a detour to the home he hadn't been to for six years.

She used to live in the slums of the imperial city.

The lane here is very narrow, the house is the same color tube building, the washed clothes can only be hung on the windowsill which has fallen many layers of ash stains.

Several shared a kitchen, sometimes, but also often for whom the family's firewood, rice, oil and salt, and neighbors against each other.

Although there are so many people here, it is the whole memory of Gu sang.

Her childhood, youth and youth were all spent here.

If it wasn't for the accident, maybe she could have left here in college.

Unfortunately, learning did not change her fate, because she missed the best opportunity.

At the moment, Gu sang, who was walking in the narrow lane, looked at every scene he was familiar with.

Some are splashing water in the roadway, some are drying clothes, some are choosing vegetables, some are playing cards.

Despite poverty, people's lives continue.

Here is still as busy as ever, but not many people can recognize her.

Yes, most of the sites here are occupied by foreign tenants, and the mobility of tenants is very strong.

In six years, most of the people here have changed a lot.

Gu sang walked along the roadway to the inside, which was the only six story building in the slum.

Gu sang moved from a bungalow to this upstairs when he was 12 years old.

That's the 76 flat building that my mother bought in this building with her life savings.

At that time, dad was still carrying gambling debts. Although he had the house, he was in danger of losing it at any time.

In order not to sell the house to pay off the debt, my mother had to work day and night to earn money.

That time was like a nightmare for Gu sang.

She goes to school during the day, comes back to cook at night, and bears beating her father at any time after drinking.

Go to the front of the building, looking at the right lawn, Gu sang suddenly cold.

She stepped back two steps in fear.

Six years ago, my father was lying there. He had already gone, but he still looked at the world with sad eyes, as if to tell the world that he had died unjustly
