Time has you, memories become flowers

half a month later.

Zhao Moli stood under a beauty tree, watching the snow fluttering down from the sky.

Han Jing, who was walking towards her, said, "Why don't you go in first, isn't it cold outside?"

"good."

The two walked into a gallery, and Han Jing said again: "Brother is also very sorry that I asked you to come out to help me choose gifts in such a cold day. I will treat you to whatever I want to eat later."

Mo Li reported the name of a restaurant, which is famous for its romance and high prices.

"It's a gathering place for lovers and a popular place for marriage proposals. Do you want to settle life-long issues before the new year?"

"I'm sorry, you're thinking too much. I'm in a good mood today, and I just want expensive food." After speaking, Mo Li smiled sweetly.

Han Jing didn't see that she was in a good mood from her absent-minded expression, so he didn't say anything about it, he just said generously: "All right, I'll take it as a waste of money and eliminate disasters."

After buying the painting, the two got into the car and drove towards the place to eat. Mo Li didn't drive for a long time, but saw Chu Xia, holding a bag of things and stopping a taxi at the intersection.She stopped the car without thinking, rolled down the window and called her: "Xia Chu, where are you going? I'll take you."

Xia Chu saw that it turned out to be a doctor he knew, "Doctor Zhao, I'm going to the suburbs, it's far away."

"It's okay, get in the car, it's not easy to stop here for a long time."

Xia Chu didn't hesitate any longer and got into the car.After Mo Li asked for the exact address, he called Han Jing and told him that there was an emergency and he could only save the big meal for next time.When she hung up the phone, Xia Chu said embarrassedly: "Doctor Zhao, I'm sorry for causing you to cancel the appointment."

"What's the matter, you can eat at any time. Also, you don't need to call the doctor outside, just call me by my name. My name is Zhao Moli."

"Then I'll call you... Sister Li Li?"

"Okay."

When the car arrived at the nursing home, the snow was falling like catkins.

Because after Li Li asked in the car that Xia Chu was visiting Tang Xiaonian's grandmother, she didn't leave immediately, but got off the car and entered the nursing home together.And she never thought that she would meet Wei Chi because of this.

When she walked into Grandma Tang's room, she saw Wei Chi standing tall at the end of the bed.She couldn't help breathing, and subconsciously clenched her hands.

Wei Chi turned his head, it was only a dozen days since he left after saying those words last time, but Mo Li felt as if he had passed away.

"Xiao Nian, it was Sister Li who sent me here."

When Mo Li heard Xia Chu's voice, she felt that she was standing still like a fool. Seeing that Wei Chi was still looking at her, she turned her head away.

Tang Xiaonian has always respected Zhao Moli, even though she looks a few years older than him, "Thank you, Doctor Zhao."

Mo Li smiled at Tang Xiaonian and said, "Xia Chu has already thanked me several times on the way."

Afterwards, she found that Grandma Tang's condition didn't seem to be very good, and she was chattering: "When will Brother Yunshen come? Aunt Pei said that Brother Yunshen would come back today, but it's already this time, why haven't you come yet?" ?”

Although Grandma Tang has gray hair, her eyes are still black and white, clear and bright.

Tang Xiaonian grabbed grandma's hand and asked, "Grandma, who is Yun Shen?"

The old man was immersed in his own world, "Brother Yunshen is finally here, I'm going to give him a smile, I hope he likes it."

"Grandma." Tang Xiaonian called again, but the old man never replied.

Mo Li walked up to Tang Xiaonian and said, "Grandma is an AD patient. If she says anything, just follow her as much as possible, and don't make her feel restless."

Tang Xiaonian said thank you, and then said to grandma: "Grandma, what did you say to brother Yunshen?"

"Brother Yunshen called me Qiyue." The old man smiled happily and contentedly like a little girl.

month?Yun Shen?
Mo Li vaguely felt that he had heard these two names mentioned somewhere, but he couldn't remember for a while.

"Okay, Qiyue, you are dressed so beautifully today, shall we take a photo?" Tang Xiaonian coaxed.

The old man shook his head, "No filming, no filming."

Mo Li thought that the old man's doctor should have taken care of the places to pay attention to, so she didn't say any more, seeing that Xiaonian and Xia Chu were all absorbed in chatting with the old man, Mo Li, who didn't want to stay for a long time, said goodbye.

Xia Chu said: "Sister Li Li, are you leaving now? You sent me here and didn't even eat the meal, why don't you leave after eating here?"

"No, I have something else to do."

There was something to go, Xia Chu couldn't keep anyone anymore, and Tang Xiaonian thanked him again.

When Mo Li walked out of the room, she heard Tang Xiaonian say to Wei Chi, "Boss, I'm sorry, I made you come here for nothing today."

"She's getting better, call me again."

The familiar voice knocked into his heart, making him a little uncomfortable, but Li Qiye habitually lowered his head and smiled.

When walking out of the nursing home, Li Li was in a trance, her feet slipped and she almost fell down. Fortunately, someone behind her supported her. Just as she was about to thank her, she heard the familiar voice again: "Be careful."

She pulled out her arm and said calmly, "Don't bother Mr. Laowei."

After walking a few steps, Li Li remembered something, turned around and walked in front of Wei Chi.

She took out a check from her bag and handed it to him, "Mr. Wei, I didn't pay you that much."

Wei Chi frowned, as if he didn't know how to reply to her: "It's the mobile phone and clothes you bought... The extras, you can buy food."

More than 20 to buy food, is she a pig?
"I paid a total of 35682.6 yuan for Mr. Wei. Please transfer Mr. Wei to Alipay. The account number is my mobile phone number. If it has been deleted, I will report it again—"

"Need not."

"That's good." To save some time, "I still have the jade pendant, I would like to ask Mr. Wei to return it to me. I'm sorry, but I will get back what I gave away. If you didn't bring it with you, please send it..."

"I'm carrying it with me." Wei Chi took out the jade pendant from the pocket of his long coat, and Li Li stretched out his hand to get it. He tightened his hand, but finally let go.

There was still temperature on the jade pendant, and Li Li squeezed it silently, then she stuffed the check to him, and finally smiled at him, "Okay, Mr. Wei, now that we have settled, you have no idea about me, you Don't worry that I will never forget you, the biggest advantage of me, Zhao Moli, is probably that I can take it easy." Is it too much?Anyway, he is a lifesaver, business is not about benevolence and righteousness...

But the other party didn't seem to mind, she thought, that would be great.

When Li Li finally returned to his car, looking at the whiteness and coldness outside, he thought it really reflected her mood.

She took three deep breaths before starting the car and leaving.When she got home, in order not to think about it, she ran to the study to look for books to read.

Therefore, when she saw the photo of her grandfather, she finally remembered that she had heard someone talk about Qiyue and Yunshen.

It was her grandfather, who took Yun Shen in when she was young.

If she remembered correctly, his name was Tang Yunshen.

Jiashen year, late spring.

Tang Yunshen returned to Shanghai for the first time after ten years in France, and his family sent a foreign car to pick him up.Driving all the way, the streets I passed were unfamiliar and familiar.

Butler Tang Yin said: "Young Master, Madam has sent someone to buy your favorite chestnut powder, you can eat it when you go back!" Tang Yin murmured, unable to hide his joy, "Madam said that you loved chestnut powder since childhood. It's my birthday, and it's Duanyang in about ten days, I must invite all the unmarried ladies in Shanghai for you!"

Tang Yunshen listened silently. He remembered that after his 17th birthday, he traveled across the ocean to study.Ten years later, the scene of that birthday is still vivid in my memory.At that time, he was still a young man, spending money like water, flying high spirits, completely unaware that the national calamity was coming and the country would be lost.Ten years away, the sense of family and country is inexplicably deep in my bones.

When the car enters Hengshan Road, the sycamore trees on both sides are still the same as before.

"Is the family okay?"

Tang Yin glanced at him, thought for a moment before saying: "Master and wife are all well, but I look forward to your return every day."

When they got home, Mrs. Tang Gu Peiying was the first to rush over, pulling Yun Shen to ask for warmth, wishing she could say everything she hadn't said in ten years, she peeled fruit herself, and fed chestnut powder, treating him as a seven-year-old. year old child.

"Grow up." A slightly hoarse voice sounded.

Only then did Tang Yunshen look up and saw his father Tang Yongnian.

Tang Yongnian's hair was half gray.Come to think of it, he was only in his early fifties.Tang Yunshen seldom talked to his father. Before he asked for anything since he was a child, Gu Peiying would deliver it to him immediately.But Tang Yongnian just said a few words in a neutral manner every time, and then left.

Speaking of which, father is a real father, but mother is not a real mother.

Tang Yunshen's biological mother was Tang Yongnian's eighth concubine, who died after giving birth to him.Gu Peiying was originally an old lady who sang Beijing opera, but after marrying Tang Yong, she became the most favored nine concubines.Because she was barren, Tang Yongnian entrusted Tang Yunshen to her to be raised.Later, Gu Peiying became famous for doting on Tang Yunshen. The most impressive time was when Tang Yunshen left home at the age of 17, Gu Peiying cried and fainted on the pier.People say that my own mother is nothing more than that.

"Well, it's been ten years since I've been here, and I'm 27 now, and I don't even have a daughter-in-law." Gu Peiying turned to Tang Yongnian, and began to talk about her son's lifelong events, "I told him not to let him go out, what do you have to say?" The man’s ambition is in all directions. Now it’s good, he’s seen all directions, and he’s still a bachelor when he comes back.”

Tang Yongnian didn't argue, just smiled and said, "With you here, I don't worry."

"I've thought about it a long time ago. This year's Dragon Boat Festival, we're going to have a good birthday party for Yunshen. I want to make all the ladies in Shanghai..."

Tang Yunshen was abroad, and he didn't meet many acquaintances every day. Suddenly, there was such a gushing voice next to his ear. It was warm, but he was still not used to it.He looked around, trying to change the topic, when he suddenly saw a petite figure outside the window.

"Who is she?" Tang Yunshen asked.

Gu Peiying, who was halfway through the sentence, followed his gaze, and her face, which was still in high spirits just now, darkened for a moment, and then sighed: "Oh, her name is Zhang Qiyue. When I was famous in Dangui, Her mother is my movie fan. We have a very good relationship, just like sisters. Her mother has a straight temper. She stood up for me several times and offended others because of it. Later, she married to a wealthy family in Xiguan in Guangzhou. After that, we I lost contact. Two years ago, a woman took her to find me, saying that her father smoked opium and was going to sell the child. Before her mother died, she asked her nanny to take her away and came to Shanghai to find me. ... You weren't there at that time, so I raised her as my daughter, it's really pitiful."

Tang Yunshen suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He looked down at the chestnut powder on the table, picked it up, got up and walked out the door.

"I'll get to know this younger sister." He turned his head and smiled at Gu Peiying.

In Gu Peiying's eyes, he is still that flamboyant boy.She nodded lovingly.

As if sensing someone approaching from behind, Zhang Qiyue turned around and looked over.

"Are you——Brother Yunshen?" Her voice was very crisp and clear, like the cry of a warbler in the morning.

"You know me?" Tang Yunshen was a little puzzled.

"Auntie Pei looks at the photos you send for a long time every day. Sometimes, I watch them with her and listen to her tell your stories. They said that you will come back today. I think Auntie Pei must be very happy. I'm happy if Auntie is happy, so I'm here to give you a gift." She stretched out her hand with a smile, holding a blooming Michelle in her hand, "This flower smells like fruit, it smells good. I've loved it since I was a kid. For you!"

Tang Yunshen tried to find even the slightest bit of sadness and cynicism from Zhang Qiyue's face, but the girl in front of him was like an angel, even her smile was so bright.He seemed to be infected, and he became happy unconsciously.He squatted down on one leg, raised his hand to take the flower branch, and sniffed it closer, "It smells so good, thank you!"

Zhang Qiyue looked at him and just giggled.

"I also have a gift for you." Tang Yunshen stuffed his smile into his suit pocket, took chestnut powder with both hands, brought it to Zhang Qiyue, and said with a smile, "This one smells good too!"

Zhang Qiyue's eyes lit up when he saw the chestnut powder.Then she shook her head and said, "No, I don't want it. Aunt Pei said, this is your favorite food. A gentleman doesn't steal people's love."

Tang Yun laughed loudly after hearing this, and couldn't help but took out a hand to touch her head, and said: "You are quite knowledgeable with your little head. Well, well, well, you are a gentleman, but you, Auntie Pei, can't wait to put your hand on her head today. I have bought all the chestnut powder from DDS, if you don’t help me eat it, it will be a waste. Who knows that every piece of Chinese food is hard work, right?”

"Well, that's fine." Zhang Qiyue happily took the chestnut powder, then took a small bite, savoring it carefully.

"From now on, I'll call you Qiyue?" Tang Yunshen watched her chewing and eating slowly, thinking that although her family background was in decline, she did not lose her appearance as a young lady from the Xiguan family.

She didn't answer right away, until she swallowed all the chestnut powder in her mouth, she said, "Okay. Aunt Pei calls me that too." As she spoke, her face flushed a little.

This was the first time Tang Yunshen and Zhang Qiyue met, she gave him a smile, and he gave her her favorite chestnut powder.

The reason why Mo Li has always remembered Tang Yunshen is not only because his grandfather mentioned it, but also because he saw a notebook left by Tang Yunshen when he was young, which recorded the story between him and Zhang Qiyue.

She rummaged through the study for a long time, but found nothing, and went to the storage room where old things were stored, but still couldn't find the book in her memory.

The next day, Li Li still went to the nursing home.At this time, the snow was clear and the sky was clear, and the Hunxin Pankou plum blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom, and they were very fragrant. Many old people went out to bask in the sun and chat.

As soon as Mo Li entered the gate, he met Grandma Tang in the hall, sitting on the sofa by the window, while Tang Xiaonian was peeling walnuts for her to eat.

She walked over and saw that Grandma Tang was smiling, and she was no longer the little girl she was yesterday.

"Doctor Zhao, why are you here?" Tang Xiaonian was surprised to see Zhao Moli again.

"Oh, it's a holiday, and I have nothing to do at home. Bring some food for grandma." Mo Li handed Tang Xiaonian the lotus root starch and fruit in his hand.

"Thank you."

"How is Grandma Tang today?"

"It was a good morning. Later, she recognized me as Yun Shen, and said she wanted to make soap, because Yun Shen's birthday was approaching, and she wanted to give him a present."

Grandma Tang took Tang Xiaonian's hand and smiled again, "The current situation is chaotic outside, and the price of goods is soaring. Soap can still be made by myself. Besides, I have learned how to carve... Unfortunately, I can't find any materials."

Li Li observed Grandma Tang's expression and tone, "This is a disorientation. Grandma can't tell the time, place and people around her, she can't even tell her name, age, etc. Yesterday she might have thought she was Kid, it's just another age now."

Mo Li hesitated and asked again: "Xiao Nian, is your grandma's surname Zhang?"

"Yes, how do you know?"

If Li Li still had doubts about whether Grandpa Tang Yunshen was the one Grandma Tang was looking for before, she was sure now.

What she was not sure about was how to tell Grandma Tang about Tang Yunshen?Or, should I say it?

Grandma Tang looked at Tang Xiaonian expectantly and said, "It's been a long time since I heard brother Yunshen play the piano."

Looking at the old piano in the corner of the hall, Tang Xiaonian could only sigh. His father taught him to play the piano when he was a child. He didn't have much interest in it, so his father didn't force him, so he didn't learn it. Now he regrets it and doesn't know what to do with it. grandma said.

Seeing that Tang Xiaonian didn't move, Mo Li walked towards the piano, and when she sat down, she suddenly felt that this worldly thing was really amazing—her piano was taught by Grandma Tang's son, Tang Mulang.

Mo Li played "The Wind Blows Memories Into Petals". She didn't know why she picked this sad song. It might be because of the thoughts recorded in Tang Yunshen's notebook that she vaguely remembered in her memory, or it might be It is caused by my own sense of loss.

The soft sound of the piano is flowing in the hall, and the windows on all sides are covered with snow and the sun is bright.

Many old people came to listen to Li Li's playing, while Grandma Tang, who was sitting on the sofa and listening quietly, shed tears.
