Splendid lovesickness

When Pei Zhan was mentioned, Mu Xuan's calm mood stirred up small waves.It was like throwing small pebbles into a calm lake, splashing small splashes.It's just that the splash disappeared quickly.Whether it's love or hate, from the moment he stepped out of Pei's mansion, all of this has become the past, and everything in the past has disappeared with time.

Mu Chengen's health was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't leave his mouth all day long.Mrs. Liu thought the smell of medicine at home was pungent, so she went out to play with a group of old sisters, and Qing Lan often stayed out at night. Mu Xuan and Madam Wu wanted to stay at home to take care of her father, thinking that Qing Lan was not a child after all. , can only let him go.

She didn't hate her father in her heart, but her mother, Mu Qingqing, and the relatives around her left her one by one. Except for Madam Wu and her father, she no longer had any relatives in the world.

"Is uncle's health getting better recently?" The young man under the grape trellis was dressed in a white plain silk singlet, with handsome features but still heroic.The voice was as clear as spring water, and the familiar face carried a hint of concern.

"Cousin Yiqing?" The childhood friends who had been separated for many years suddenly reunited, and Mu Xuan was surprised and delighted.

"It's me! How is my cousin?" Although it was just a homely greeting, his voice carried a strange power, gentle and firm, calming down inexplicably the irritability brought about by the summer heat.

After Xie Yiqing helped Mu Chengen finish the injection, Father Mu fell into a deep sleep.Mu Xuan stood by the well to draw water.In order to save money, the mother-in-law of the family was also sent away. Madam Wu was getting old, so Mu Xuan had to do the work of fetching water and chopping firewood herself.

The bucket at home was too heavy, Mu Xuan struggled for a long time, and could only fill half of the bucket at a time.

"I'll do it." Xie Yiqing rolled up his sleeves and walked over.He looks weak and weak, but he didn't expect to do things quickly and neatly.It takes Mu Xuan half a day to fill the water tank each time, and he can do it with only one cup of tea.

Mu Xuan picked some grapes under the grape trellis and washed them with well water, then asked casually, "Does my cousin also do these rough jobs at home?"

Xie Yiqing helped Mu Xuan tidy up the chopped firewood, and said, "My father passed away early, and my mother was weak. Of course I did all the work at home."

After dinner, the sky was full of colorful clouds, Mu Chengen told Mu Xuan to send Xie Yiqing away.

The two have known each other since childhood. Although they haven't seen each other for many years, the closeness engraved in their bones still exists.

The street market in summer is extremely lively, and the courtyard wall outside Mu's house is covered with roses, and the pink and white flowers bloom with smiles on their smiling faces.

"I haven't been back for several years. This year's roses are especially beautiful." Mu Xuan sighed.

From time to time, children chased and ran across Qingshi Street.He stopped when he saw Xie Yiqing and Mu Xuan, and called Mr. Xie respectfully.Xie Yiqing nodded and told them to go home early, and the children obediently obediently looked back at them with smiles while running.

Mu Xuan said strangely, "Do you recognize all the children on the street?"

Xie Yiqing smiled, "I know most of them. When I first came to Nanchu three years ago, I lived in front of Qingshiqiao North Street."

Mu Xuan was stunned, she just married Pei Zhan three years ago.He came here three years ago, but why hasn't he been in touch?The summer night wind blows on the face, bringing the fragrance of the lotus pond in the distance, and the cry of frogs can be heard from the ponds on both sides of the road from time to time.

Xie Yiqing smiled slightly.The years when he lived in his grandmother's farm had been the warmest time in his life.At that time, his father was still alive, his family was rich, his grandmother and mother loved him very much, and his cousin Xuan was smart and cute. Life was so perfect at that time.

Adults often make jokes about him and his cousin, and grandma often says, "Yiqing, you have to give in to Xuan'er, the girl is delicate, and she will be your wife in the future."

At that time, he was very thin, but he still puffed up his chest and said, "Don't worry, I know. I will be good to her."

One summer, the two were playing in the water by the pond.Mu Xuan accidentally fell into it, and Xie Yiqing jumped in without even thinking about it in a hurry.Mu Xuan wondered, "Brother Yiqing, I can paddle, why are you jumping in?"
