Chapter 168:

Lin Zhan greeted Xiao Wanqing to sit on the sofa in the living room, Zhou Qin brought them the cut fruit, and then turned into the kitchen to prepare the noodles and lunch. Xiao Yuanqing was embarrassed to keep Zhou Qin busy alone, thinking of going to the kitchen to help, was pressed by Lin Zhan: "Xiaoyun you sit, specially prepared for you, how can you let yourself do it."
He pointed at Lin Xian who was sitting next to Xiao Wanqing, fearing that Xiao Yunqing wouldn’t dare to eat, and forked attentively two pieces of fruit and handed Lin Xian in front of Xiao Yunqing. Get started."
Lin Zhan does not really need Lin Xian to help Zhou Qin, he just hopes to be able to chat with Xiao Wanqing alone. The second reason is that Lin Zhan wanted to create a time when Lin Xian and Zhou Qin were alone.
In these years, the relationship between Lin Xian and Zhou Qin is too stiff, and the number of mothers and daughters alone is rare. Lin Zhan sandwiched in the middle, palms and backs are flesh, embarrassed. He knows that his daughter has a knot, but he still feels distressed when he sees his wife unhappy. In the past he didn't have much to say. Nowadays, there is a good turnaround for everything. No matter what, he always remembers the family who is hanging on each other.
Although Lin Xianping did not often contact Zhou Qin in the day, but in the things he passed over in these years, all kinds of supplements and health care products for Zhou Qin's body never fell, and the new clothes he bought for Zhou Qincai every year. None of the souvenirs brought back from a business trip could see her intentions. Some cracks cannot be completely healed, and Lin Zhan does not expect their mother and daughter to return to their former intimacy, but still hopes that Lin Xian can relax some relations with Zhou Qin.
Lin Xian heard his father's dismissal and didn't move immediately, but instead asked Xiao Wanqing's opinions silently with his eyes.
Where she couldn't hear the meaning beyond her father's words, she knew Xiao Panpan must also understand. It's just that Lin Zhan's attitude over the years has convinced her that he won't hurt Xiao Wanqing anymore, so she can rest assured that the two of them will be alone. But she still needs to wait for Xiao Panpan to instruct her personally before she can rest assured.
Xiao Wanqing smiled slightly at Lin Xian, and expressed a cheerful agreement with jokes: "Can you pick a small bowl for me when I'm in a good time?"
Lin Xian and Lin Zhan heard something inexplicable, and when they reacted, they laughed in unison.
"Envy, give you Xiao..." Lin Zhan originally wanted to say "Give you Aunt Xiao", but when it came to his mouth, he saw Lin Xian's intimate smile bent around Xiao Yuanqing's neck, and immediately noticed that he was not Properly, change the mouth and say: "Xiao... Cough, Xiao Panpan picks you the biggest bowl, but she boasted Haikou and will definitely finish it."
This sentence from Lin Zhankou's "You Xiao Panpan" made Xiao Wanqing and Lin Xian both stunned. The next second, Xiao Wanqing bit his lip and lowered his eyes embarrassedly, a pair of red ears were honestly exposed The shame and sweetness in her heart.
Lin Xian did not have such a shy emotion to his father. She broadly smiled and bent her eyebrows, reaching out and touching the sweet little ears of her sweetheart with her cold hands, and protecting her wife: "Dad, I can't agree with you. I hope Panpan will be uncomfortable, but it still hurts. I."
Lin Zhan froze and said with a dumb smile: "The old saying is really true, the female university can't help but not give your father or me any face, it's okay, but you can see through you, sad."
Lin Xian ignored Lin Zhan's grievances at all, hippie smiled face-to-face with Lin Zhan childishly, and turned back and smiling Xiao Wanqing signaled: "Then I will help my mother."
Xiao Wanqing nodded.
Zhou Qin in the kitchen, looking at the hot water boiling in the pot, listening to the cheers and laughter that sounded from time to time, lowered his eyelids, hiding his gloom. She thought too much about things so much that when Lin Xian stood at the door of the kitchen and knocked on the door, she moved her hand reflexively, the lid of the pot under her hand was removed, and the boiling steam smoked at once She sighed with pain on the wrist she lifted.
Lin Xian froze for a moment, then rushed in with three steps and two steps. She pulled her by the hand and took her to the sink of the counter, and opened cold water to rush on her arm. Her eyebrows were tightly locked, and her hands moved Zhou Qin's sleeves up tenderly. Her verbal tone was a little bad because of anxious tone. She blamed Zhou Qin: "I think you are burning water, so careless."
Zhou Qin glanced at Lin Xian with a sideways glance, seeing the clearly visible concern on her daughter's face, her heart astringent, and then quickly moved away from her gaze. She didn't answer Lin Xian's question. She turned off the water, withdrew her hand, and asked, "There are lamb soup and duck soup just braised at home. Do you know which kind of instant noodles Xiaojun prefers?"
Lin Xian thought without hesitation: "Duck meat, she doesn't like the taste of too much. Moreover, there will be lunch later, the meaning of the noodles is just fine, you don't need to eat too much noodles." After thinking about it, she was not at ease Di urged: "Don't cook it, I'll wipe it with you, and I'll just cook the noodles."
Zhou Qin looked at the long figure of Lin Xian leaving, and his heart was sad. Lin Xian came out very steady and excellent, so he can stand alone. But since a naive and proud little girl has grown up to this day, she knows the price paid and the suffering she has known better than anyone else. Over the years, she was annoyed and distressed. Later, it was regret and guilt. But it's too long to be proud. It's too long to be an adult who can be a mother and an elder. It's too long for her to face her daughter.
Every time Lin Xian went to find someone, she followed nervousness and insomnia, and when she turned around, Lin Zhan always sighed and scolded her, dying to face and suffer. She knew that she was such a person, so what she suffers now is what she deserves.
In the living room, Lin Zhan was talking about Zhou Qin after carefully caring about Xiao Wanqing's life in recent years. Speaking of Zhou Qin's donkey temper, he sincerely apologized: "Xiaohua, I'm sorry for myself and your sister's actions for that year. I'm sorry to you. Forcing you to leave Anjiang City is not our original intention. , But this result was caused by us. We calmed down and reflected on ourselves, and then we realized how excessive things we did, what terrible decisions we made, and we were ashamed. I'm sorry to say it too lightly, But I’m sorry, but there is no other word that expresses our inner guilt and remorse for you. Your sister may seem a little enthusiasm just now, but don’t worry, she is too awkward I don’t know how to face you for a while. Frankly speaking, she really complained about you, but later, she really complained about her wrongdoing. In these years, she didn’t have a good day. But she was too strong For a long time, I couldn't keep my head down, I didn't know how to show weakness and subdue, and face death and suffering."
Xiao Wanqing shook his head generously, expressing understanding: "Brother, you don't have to say sorry, I was wrong. I understand your feelings as a parent. It's past, let it pass, I never blame it. You. Sister's temper and personality, why haven't I known her for so many years, don't worry, I understand."
She paused for a moment, and when she talked about the past, a confusion suddenly appeared in her mind: "I suddenly remembered to ask, why did my sister suddenly go on the first day of the new year, so early To my house?" And, used the spare key? She made up in her heart.
Lin Zhan's eyes were dull, and she sighed and replied: "After zero o'clock that night, she received an anonymous email with photos of you and envy, pointing directly to your unusual relationship. She was surprised, It’s unbelievable, so I drove to verify it overnight.
Xiao Xuanqing’s doubts can be seen. He added:
I found it later when she was hospitalized. The email was envious of a male student in the school. You should also I know, the one who reported envy before. It turned out that because of the previous report, he sat on the cold bench of the counselor, and inadvertently competed with envy, won many honors and opportunities by envy. Unwilling and resentful, he did this kind of thing to revenge envy. Presumably he knew that the teacher he said didn’t believe it and the parents wouldn’t just sit back and ignore it, so he didn’t want to let envy go better.

Xiao Wanqing's face was solemn and cold, her eyebrows fainted, and she asked in a cold voice: "What about this boy?" She seldom moved like this. Her hands on her knees clenched into a fist, and she was so angry that she could not help this sinister and mean. The boys also feel the feelings of being in disrepair and betraying their relatives.
If, without his help, she and Xian Xian are well prepared and well-planned according to the plan, maybe, they may not have to endure so many years of each other, and her envy will not suffer so much and suffer so much hurt.
Lin Zhan obviously hated this person who hurt his daughter, and said in a deep voice: "Because I was afraid of envy and revenge, we didn't say anything about it. We got the envy from our envy friends. Regarding the evidence of the corruption of this boy’s character, he joined Wen Tong, me and Qin Qin to help some media workers, and anonymously made this happen online. He was expelled from the party by the school. In addition to all the duties in the school. In the academic circle, there is no professor who would like to accept him as a stained student. There are too many pointing people in the school. He may not be able to bear such an atmosphere, and then he is out of school. ."
The price he paid for his mistakes was a lifetime. Hearing this result, Xiao Yunqing's anger slowly subsided, but he did not feel happy. She had no sympathy for him, and after all, she and Lin Xian were almost changed their lives. She just felt a little sighed. For the first time, she and Lin Xian were soft-hearted and gave him a chance...
She took a deep breath and promised Lin Zhan: "In the future, I will not let others have such a chance to hurt envy."
Lin Zhan smiled and shook his head, calming her and said, "It's okay, Xiaoya. No one can use us to hurt you in the future. You don't care, you don't care about envy, neither do I or her mother. I want to start. The day is my own, and you and envy are strong enough, as long as our own family has a happy life, and He Meimei, whatever those who do not care about what they say and do."
To get the understanding and support of the families of the people who are closest to you and the people you love most is the dream that Xiao Wanqing most craved but the most distant in the first half of his life. She stared at Lin Zhan's warm and loving face, her eyes turned red uncontrollably, and water began to appear in her bright eyes.
Xiao Wanqing is a person who seems to be weak but stronger. Lin Zhansan sees that she grows up with such a fragile and emotional look. For a while, she is at a loss, not knowing how to comfort her.
Lin Xian cooked the noodles and came out to greet Xiao Wanqing to eat noodles in the restaurant. What she saw was her Xiao Panpan's look of sobbing. Suddenly her heart tightened, trotting to Xiao Wanqing, reaching for her shoulders to make a protective gesture, raising her head and bursting into hair, Hengmei cold angered Lin Zhan: "Daddy, what did you say?!"
Before Lin Zhan answered, she lowered her head and changed her tone to coax Xiao Xiaoqing softly: "Panpan we won't eat, let's go home." We will take Xiao Yunqing away.
Xiao Yunqing froze for a moment, stopped the turmoil in his heart, and immediately pulled Lin Xian's shirt off to explain embarrassedly: "No, no, envy, you misunderstood. It was your father's support and understanding that made me feel for a moment. It’s just... that’s it."
Lin Zhan looked at her daughter's completely different attitude from Xiao Wanqing when she was facing her, and she was very angry and funny. He stood up and made a cold "hum" sound from his nose, dissatisfied: "I am such an image in your heart? I really hurt you." After all, he left with a displeased sleeve. .
Lin Xian froze for a moment, showing Haoran on his face.
Xiao Wanqing smiled, smiled, patted her hand, and asked her, "Is it good?"
Lin Xian nodded.
"Then I'm going to eat noodles. Go ahead and coax your dad, don't make him sad."
Lin Xian was not assured, hesitantly said: "My mother is also in the restaurant..."
Xiao Yunqing smiled disapprovingly and said briskly: "Here it is, your mother is not a tiger, and I am not a rabbit. Don't worry, go, I just have something to say to your mother."
Lin Xian was still hesitating, but Xiao Wanqing stood up straight, took her hand, and pushed her childishly away, urging: "Go soon..."
Lin Xian chuckled lightly, in the end it was her.
Xiao Yuanqing stopped to watch Lin Xian entered the study, before taking back his sight. She stood at the spot and calmed her smile slightly. After a few seconds, she smiled again, and then turned to the side restaurant.
In the restaurant, Zhou Qin was sitting in the middle of the long table with an apron. When she heard footsteps, she looked straight towards Xiao Wanqing.
Facing each other, Xiao Wanqing smiled heartily and smiled softly, calling out the claim that she had been afraid to call: "Sister."
Zhou Qin looked at Xiao Wanqing, who had been long away because of his persecution, choked his throat, and his nose was sour. Her lips whined for a long time, and she finally responded to her astringently: "Xiaohua, come in and eat noodles."
"Okay." Xiao Wanqing responded well. She lightly pulled out the chair to sit down, and said with a smile: "Let me taste your sister's current skills have not regressed." Zhou Qin familiar familiar with the tone.
Zhou Qin looked at her like she was when she was a child. She still likes to take a bowl of soup with both hands while eating noodles. Her nose is a little breathless. She brought back some nasal voices and laughed back to her: "I'm afraid it's more than envy. She is better than blue now."
Xiao Wanqing took a sip of soup and smiled sweetly: "It's still so delicious. Sister your noodles are treasures, and it's incomparable to the good taste in my memory." , I touched the broken hair of the earphones, and looked down and sucked gracefully.
Zhou Qin watched her movements, and saw her soft profile and white ears, which suddenly seemed to be stabbed in her heart.
"Ear, how are you?" she asked suddenly.
Xiao Yuanqing's chopsticks paused, and it took a few seconds for the reaction to come up and what Zhou Qin was asking. She rubbed her ears carelessly and said, "It's okay, but Wen Tong is too nervous. It was only a small problem at the time. Later, after taking the medicine, he slowly recovered."
She remembered that Lin Xian asked her nervously after the reunion.
At that time she said nothing to Lin Xian, Lin Xian doubted it. The girl covered her ear that hadn't been hurt, and had to whisper to the other ear, and then asked her to repeat the verification. Later, it was confirmed that her ears were really okay. Lin Xian happily turned around for a while. Instead, she turned around and tricked herself into repeating many lingering love words to her. Poor she was silly, and it took a long time before she realized that she had fallen into this little clever ghost trap.
Thinking of the scene at that time, the curve of Xiao Wan's green lips became deeper and deeper.
Zhou Qin didn't know what Xiao Wanqing was thinking. She looked at Xiao Wanqing's sincere and tolerant smile, and her hands on the apron unconsciously twisted and twisted. After all, guilt overwhelmed pride, and she said with difficulty: "Xiaojun, the past, I..."
Before she had finished speaking, Xiao Wanqing was like seeing her embarrassment, interrupting her thoughtfully: "Sister, all the past things have passed, we have forgotten, we will not mention anyone in the future. Are you looking forward?"
Xiao Wanqing's generosity and thoughtfulness made Zhou Qin's heart more sour. She swept her throat up and down, shook her head, and said seriously: "It's over, but you still have to say what you owe you."
"I was too arbitrary, and the reproach to you was too unfair. What I said to you was even more mean and vicious, and it cost you to call me sister in vain." She seemed ashamed and embarrassed. Difficult. But she still stared at Xiao Wanqing, speaking clearly and solemnly.
"Xiaojun, I apologize to you, I'm sorry. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just hope that you and Lin Xian will live a good life together and live happily in the future."
Xiao Yunqing once thought that she really let go, and she really didn't care, so that when facing the apology of Lin Xian and Lin Zhan, she could calmly face each other, considerate relief. But when the sentence "I'm sorry" was really spoken from Zhou Qin's mouth, she suddenly had a childish feeling in her heart that set off the wrongs. Tears dripped across his eyes and made Xiao Wanqing unable to chomp with his voice.
It turned out that she still remembered Zhou Qin's agonizing pain and grievances when she questioned herself coldly, and the desperation that she couldn't get rid of. That's what she thinks is one of the closest people in the world. That's what she knew when she was young. She loves her as a sister. She despise her like that, hates her, drives her out, punishes her, so she starts. The knife fell, ruthlessly slashing her heart one knife after another...
Injuries from people close to you, the more you value them, the more you hurt them.
However, to hear Zhou Qin's sincere apology, and to receive Zhou Qin's sincere blessing, her grievances seemed to be finally appeased. Her waves gradually calmed down, her contentment was satisfied, and she had nothing to ask for. She lifted her hands to wipe the tears from her cheeks. The pear blossoms carried rain. She cried faintly and said dumbly: "It doesn't matter, sister, I admit that I am really wronged, but, I really understand you. In my heart, you It has always been my nearest sister, and this has never changed."
Tears came to Zhou Qin's eyes, and he could not speak for a while. After showing weakness, she was embarrassed, wiped her tears with her eyes, and changed the subject stiffly to remind: "Come and eat noodles, the noodles are going to be cold."
Xiao Yunqing kindly responded softly with "good", wiped away his tears with a tissue, and bowed his head to eat noodles seriously.
After a while, Zhou Qin adjusted his emotions and showed a smile for the first time since the reunion. He said, "I'm afraid I can't always be your closest sister."
Xiao Yuanqing stopped chopsticks and looked up, looking at Zhou Qin unexplainedly.
She watched Zhou Qin draw a small piece of red cloth from her coat and place it on the table. The red cloth was unfolded, and inside it was a green emerald bracelet.
Zhou Qin reached over and handed Xiao Xiaoqing's left hand next to the bowl, gently put the bracelet on her haw wrist, and said softly: "It's not a valuable thing, but it is also a family history. When I married in, Grandma Xianxian passed it to me, saying that when she married in that year, her mother-in-law passed it to her. I don’t know how many generations passed on. I had planned to give Xianxian a dowry later." She smiled helplessly again. , Continued: "Unexpectedly, I gave birth to a daughter, but still became a mother-in-law."
Xiao Wanqing's face was completely red, and the jade bracelet was stuck on her skin, which should be a cold touch, but Xiao Xiaoqing felt hot all over.
She touched the bracelet and murmured, "Sister..." She stuttered inexplicably. The name "Sister" seemed to suddenly become strange and outdated: "Cough, I..."
Zhou Qin saw through her shame, but still cared about it seriously: "It may be that my thoughts are still old-fashioned. I always feel that since you have all identified each other now, you are both of the age to start a family and start a business. The wedding ceremony should still have some sense of ceremony. Even if it is simply to set two tables, please invite close friends and relatives. With everyone’s testimony and blessings, solemnly make a promise to form a family and understand each other and right. The responsibility of this family, from now on, work together to support each other, and I feel that it may be a little different."
"A thing that happens once in a lifetime, I still don't want you to have regrets. I should prepare it for you and the envious. Some people who need our old people's help, you can just say it."
The heart of the mother in the speech is self-evident, Xiao Wanqing was moved. She put down her chopsticks and showed a gentle smile, solemnly said: "Sister, you can rest assured that I will not be wronged and envious, so I followed me indifferently. Yes, only one thing in my life, I also don't want to envy Sorry. I want to give Envy a memorable memory."
For Lin Xian, she never wanted to give or want, but she never wanted to give her the best in her ability.
She told Zhou Qin of her plan: "I am going to go to Northern Europe with Envy during the spring break. When I come back, I will trouble you to help and prepare a wedding banquet for us on a small scale."
Zhou Qin suddenly lowered his heart when he heard the words, his eyes narrowed with smile lines, and he smiled with three smiles: "Okay, okay, okay. Just have an idea in your heart."
At the right time, Lin Xian coaxed Lin Zhan, and was not worried that Zhou Qin and Xiao Wanqing had been alone for too long, and people did not arrive first: "Mom, Panpan, what are you talking about?"
Xiao Yuanqing and Zhou Qin glanced at each other, but they didn't answer. Looking back, Lin Xian has arrived.
Xiao Yuanqing leaned his head on his jaw, leaning his head to look at Lin Xian, raised his eyes, and brought out some charming, whispered: "Secret."
Lin Xian calmed down in front of Zhou Qin. It was not good for Xiao Wanqing to sneer. He only sneered slightly and raised her hand to scrape her nose. , I have my own secrets so soon."
Xiao Wanqing was still not very used to being intimate with Lin Xian in front of Zhou Qin, and he felt his nose embarrassedly, but he didn't laugh.
Zhou Qin watched them interact quietly, with a little smile in his eyes.
