Chapter 748: Recognition
Tong Xinlan hesitated, feeling that she was too reckless, the name of the general is not something that ordinary people like them can inquire about casually, if they annoy the other party, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Suppressing the impulse in her heart, Tong Xinlan put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, the wine was already warm, the chicken and sheep were still stewed in the pot, the meat was fragrant, and she waited for Lord Yuan in the house to come out to eat after finishing business.
After waiting for a long time, Yu Jingqiu outside didn't react, Yuan Fang really didn't have a topic, and the smell of meat in the room made his stomach gurgle, so he got up and said, "Okay, that's it, I've also seen Uncle Yu's craftsmanship, and it really deserves its reputation, let's eat first, and we'll talk about the rest later." ”
Zhong Mingde hurriedly echoed: "Yes, eat first, eat first, Lord Yuan has worked hard all the way, I specially prepared local chicken and lamb, how about Lord Yuan taste it." Then, he gave Yu Qingfeng a look: "Why don't you move the table in?" ”
Yuan Fang waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, isn't it ready outside." ”
Zhong Mingde said embarrassedly: "The old man is a little smaller in their house, and he can't accommodate too many people, so he has to let the female soldiers be a general, but Lord Yuan can't go outside to get cold, let's stay in the house, the house is warm." ”
Yuan Fang ignored Zhong Mingde and walked straight out: "We share weal and sorrow, there is no distinction between high and low, and I understand the kindness of the village manager." Yuan Fang's words were a little blunt, which made Zhong Mingde's heart tighten, and he quickly nodded yes, and threw it away.
Out of the door, Yuan Fang stood beside Yu Jingqiu and said meaningfully: "Leave early tomorrow morning." ”
Yu Jingqiu was immediately receiving the order, she knew that Yuan Fang was reminding and urging herself, but she still couldn't make up her mind.
Everyone sat down, the female soldiers took turns to eat, the taste of local chicken is really good, and mutton, go to the cold to replenish the qi, come to a bowl in winter, the taste is refreshing.
Yuan Fang sat in the main seat, on the side, Zhong Mingde and Yu Kang accompanied, Zhong Mingde toasted again and again to find a topic, but Yuan Fang didn't pay much attention, but took the initiative to talk to Yu Kang, who didn't talk much.
Lin Menghan and Xia Yi, who were at the same table, secretly looked at Yu Jingqiu while eating, and glanced at Tong Xinlan's mother and daughter hiding in the kitchen from time to time, anxious, but they couldn't help.
Tong Xinlan saw that Yu Jingqiu and another female general were still standing at the door, and they didn't go to eat, her heart moved, she brought a bowl of mutton soup over, and said to Jingqiu and Huo Bingyan: "Two generals, let's drink hot soup first, just out of the pot, warm up." ”
Yu Jingqiu didn't speak, and she didn't pick it up, Huo Bingyan smiled apologetically and said, "Auntie, we are duty-oriented, we can't eat, you better take it back." Tong Xinlan nodded disappointedly, turned around and walked back.
Huo Bingyan was a little disgusted and said, "Sister Jingqiu." ”
Yu Jingqiu waved his hand and interrupted, "Needless to say. ”
Huo Bingyan's voice was not loud, but Tong Xinlan, who had just turned around, heard it clearly, hearing the word Jingqiu, Tong Xinlan's body trembled violently, and the soup bowl in her hand slipped and shattered.
Tong Xinlan trembled and slowly turned around, staring at Yu Jingqiu, who was a few steps away, and said tremblingly, "Jingqiu? Are you Jingqiu? My daughter Jingqiu. Speaking of this, Tong Xinlan was already choked up and couldn't say a word anymore.
Yu Jingqiu looked at the tears in her mother's eyes, and her heart ached, but the trace of resentment in her heart still supported her unresponsiveness against her will, but no matter how well she covered it up, the tears in her eyes had betrayed her heart.
When Tong Xinlan saw her daughter like this, she seemed to be drained of all her strength at once, but her eyes never left Yu Jingqiu's face.
Tong Xinlan's heart was full of guilt, but that family affection could not be parted, and it was also what she missed day and night.
At the same time that Tong Xinlan fell to the ground, Yu Jingqiu moved, and her mind was blank at this time, and there was only one thought in her heart, she couldn't let her mother fall. In the midst of lightning, Yu Jingqiu stepped forward to support Tong Xinlan, watching the resentment in the heart of her tearful mother disappear without a trace, choked up and screamed 'Mother' into her mother's arms and cried loudly.
The mother and daughter met again after many years of separation, hugged each other and snuggled up to each other, with no superfluous words, only crying to their heart's content. Huo Bingyan stepped forward and stepped back, silently wiping away the tears of emotion, this time belongs to the mother and daughter of Yu Jingqiu and Tong Xinlan, and others are not qualified to participate.
This scene was watched by everyone present, and the female soldiers continued to eat hot food and secretly wiped the tears from their eyes, which was not sadness, but joy and touching.
Yu Kang turned around and looked at this scene blankly, a pair of cloudy eyes also contained tears, but he didn't move, because he felt deep guilt in his heart, as a father, he was unable to support his family, so that he had to sell his daughter in exchange for a chance to survive, what kind of courage does this require for a father? Or it's not just Yu Jingqiu who is hurt, he's a father who needs to bear more, for so many years, he has been suffering, frustrated by his incompetence, and regretted his original decision, for so many years, he has been blaming himself, and he has made up for it, and wants to get his daughter back, even if it is bankrupt, which is why their family has not left Nanzhou.
However, when he saw his daughter again, Yu Zhan didn't have the courage to face it, he couldn't forgive himself, he didn't have the face to see his daughter again.
Tilting his head and pouring a big sip of wine, Yu Zhan lowered his head and was silent, quietly listening to the heart-rending cry of the mother and daughter not far away, his heart was dripping blood, and he couldn't breathe in pain, and this depression directly acted on the bottom of his heart.
The female soldiers were silent, the tears of emotion kept falling, and the women in the village who came to help all stood on the spot, Yu Jingqiu's mother, shocked their minds blank, they never thought that Tong Xinlan, who had always been looked down upon, had such a general's daughter.
Some women who reacted quickly wanted to go over to comfort them and get closer to each other by the way, but they had just taken a step when they were stopped by a group of female soldiers, and the swords and cold eyes in the hands of the female soldiers frightened them to retreat again and again, this is time, it belongs to Yu Jingqiu and her mother, no one can disturb them, no one can.
Yuan Fang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, grabbed a peanut and threw it on the head of Yu Qingfeng, who was stunned: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't help your mother and your sister up." ”
Yu Qingfeng came back to his senses, got up and ran over to support his mother and eldest sister who had collapsed to the ground, but when he just grabbed his mother's arm, Tong Xinlan grabbed Yu Qingfeng and choked and urged: "Qingfeng, she is your eldest sister, she is your eldest sister Jingqiu." Jingqiu, do you still remember, he is your younger brother Qingfeng, Shizuka, Shizuka, come on, she is your eldest sister, my mother finally found your eldest sister. Old man, what are you still doing in a daze, your daughter is back, our daughter is back. ”
