He walks against the light with her

Chapter 75

Shen Yan guessed who she was talking about: "Is your mother?"

Jiang Li's gaze remained on those few red plums: "Her name is Ji Nuanyin."

Other children's impressions of their mothers are that their mothers are beautiful, hardworking, and the best people in the world.

And she only had one sentence.

Mother's name is Ji Nuanyin.

Su Yunsheng even helped her write the composition "My Mother" that the teacher asked to write when she was in elementary school.

Shen Yan took a step forward, hugged her from behind, and hugged her carefully.

His voice floated softly in his ears: "Do you miss her very much?"

Jiang Li was hugged by him like this, and shook his head: "I don't know."

I don't feel like I miss it, but the name pops up in my mind from time to time.

"I saw her die with my own eyes," she said in a steady tone, as if talking about someone else's business. "She broke the bowl, picked up the pieces, and cut her wrist."

That year, Jiang Li was eight years old.

She rarely went to the room on the top floor, because Jiang Xu said that she was not allowed to take a step up, and if she did, the punishment would be heavier in the future.

Jiang Li didn't care whether the punishment was severe or not, even if the skin was torn apart, she wouldn't be able to cry a single tear.

But she didn't care what was in the top room.

Because it has nothing to do with her.

But that day, she heard crying from the top floor.

"Li'er, Li'er..."

Someone is calling her name.

That's how she went up.

The door was unlocked and a woman was inside.

She was locked by a chain, and when she moved a little, the bell hanging on the chain made a "jingling, dingling" sound.

"Li'er..." The woman's eyes lit up when she saw her.

The young girl stood at the door, looking at the woman with strange eyes.

With tears in the corners of the woman's eyes, she coaxed softly, "Li'er, pass me the bowl at the door, will you?"

She can't reach it.

"Shen Yan."

"Ok?"

"Do you know, I gave her the bowl and sent her to Huangquan Road with my own hands."

"No." Shen Yan hugged her even tighter, "It's none of your business."

How can it be none of her business?

What can an eight-year-old know?
Even a mature adult can't predict what the other party will use the bowl to do.

Jiang Li told him: "I didn't think her death had anything to do with me. At her funeral, even Yun Sheng cried, but I didn't shed a single tear."

It's normal.

How can a child who has never been close to his mother expect her to shed tears with genuine emotion?

"No, our A Li is just slow to warm up, not without feelings." If she really has no feelings, how could she like him, Su Yunsheng, and her uncle?
Shen Yan said: "And crying is not a good mood, if you can not cry, of course it is better not to cry."

our family?
Jiang Li looked up at him.

Shen Yan blushed, her voice was a little hoarse: "Yes, ours."

She didn't seem to understand much, so she responded with a simple word: "Oh."

Some things are inconvenient to say in the current situation.

He can only prepare with her first: "A Li, wait for me, okay?"

Jiang Li asked: "Waiting for what?
Shen Yan didn't say anything.

But I answered her in my heart.

Wait a little longer, when I treat you a little better, I will seriously answer your question.

……

The Zhoujia Fruit Shop has not opened for business for several days.

This morning, Chen Yuexiang went to open the shop in person.

After going out, walking in the alley, two village women came face to face.

Chen Yuexiang knew each other, she was Mrs. Zhu from No. 17 courtyard and Miss Fang from No. [-] courtyard.

Mrs. Zhu's little chubby likes to eat fruits, especially strawberries, so when strawberries are in the market, they often come to patronize.

So she greeted: "Sister-in-law Zhu, Miss Fang, long time no see, why don't you go to the store to buy fruit recently? I just got a batch of strawberries today, they are red and big, I will pick them up later, or I won't come Look at it?"

Miss Fang sized her up, then tugged Aunt Zhu's sleeve, angrily: "Strawberries are sold everywhere, let's buy them, buy them from another store, they are fresh."

Chen Yuexiang didn't understand, and was still trying her best to promote her own products: "Hey, my strawberries are also fresh, they just arrived today."

Aunt Zhu gave her a blank look: "Miss Fang means that you are not fresh, so no matter how fresh the goods come in, we dare not buy them."

During the mourning period, Chen Yuexiang didn't want to talk to anyone, but the words were really ugly, she would definitely talk about it: "Sister-in-law Zhu, what do you mean, what do you mean I am not new?"

Mrs. Zhu sneered, and her address began to be blunt: "Widow Chen, are you pretending to be ignorant?"

Miss Fang echoed: "The story about you and your rascal brother-in-law has spread throughout the village. Don't think we don't know. Your mother was pissed to death because of these scandals you did, and she's still pretending to be innocent here." !"

Chen Yuexiang couldn't defend herself: "I..."

"What are you?" Mrs. Zhu came up and pushed her roughly, "I warn you, what you do with that gangster is your business, if you dare to hit my husband's idea, be careful that I will tear your face! "

at this time--

"Enough said?"

Jiang Li walked this way with her faint voice.

She glanced at Chen Yuexiang who lowered her head and said nothing: "Miao Miao is awake, looking for you."

Aunt Zhu and Miss Fang were afraid that Jiang Li was a monster, so they didn't dare to say anything, they could only roll their eyes at Chen Yuexiang: "We'll see!"

The person walked away, Jiang Li said: "Go back."

Chen Yuexiang's eyes were red: "That shop..."

"Do you think that in the current situation, even if the store opens, who will come to buy it?"

Chen Yuexiang stopped talking.

In fact, not only the people in Murakami were spreading the rumors, even that bastard Zhou Laiwang was telling people everywhere that she was having an affair with him.

"But there are strawberries arriving today, and they will be at the entrance of the village soon."

Jiang Li went around her: "I'll go."

"Jiang Li." Chen Yuexiang called her to stop.

"what?"

Looking at the girl's slender figure, she solemnly said, "Thank you."

Jiang Li didn't answer, and walked forward with his hands in his pockets.

After walking a few steps, she froze for a moment.

Under a few red plums, Shen Yan, who was holding a convenience box in his hand, was looking at her with a smile.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm going to buy breakfast." Shen Yan had already eaten, and this one in his hand was bought for Jiang Li.

"Oh."

Shen Yan stood under the plum tree for a while, with some elegant fragrance on her body: "Did you act bravely just now?"

He wants to awaken the emotions that are suppressed in her heart. If these emotions are trapped by something, then he will open his mouth first, slowly, little by little, until they are all released.

"No," Jiang Li denied as expected, "Her daughter is awake and crying, I can't figure it out."

So I came to Chen Yuexiang to go back and get it done.

"Oh, what about carrying strawberries for her?"

Jiang Li stopped talking.

After a while, she raised her head, looked at Shen Yan's exquisite eyes, and brushed her cold fingertips across his cheeks: "Because you look like a strawberry when you blush, I like it."

Shen Yan: ...

　Yuzu: "Xiao Shunan, what are you waiting for, go up! If you don't go up, I look down on you!"

　　Shen Yan: "Wait a minute, I'm pursuing now."

　　Yuzu: "Follow me, go straight up!"

　　Jiang Li: "He can't, I'll do it."

　　Shen Yan: "Ah Li? I can't do it? Huh?"

　　Jiang Li: "...You can do it."
