C425 Familiar

Xia Dong felt that it was somewhat inconceivable. How could she possibly live here alone for so many years without others knowing her full name?

Another woman added, " Fu Chenghai's family originally did not live here and only moved here more than ten years ago. Actually, we don't know much about their family either. . . "

Xia Dong nodded," Eldest Sister, do you know what other relatives they have? "

The big sister looked at her suspiciously, "Who are you? Why do you keep asking about their family?"

Xia Dong smiled, "It's like this. Our family's children came here for a spring outing over a month ago. Auntie Xia took special care of the children and I specially came to thank her. "

Eldest Sister felt relieved and smiled, "So that's how it is. The Fu family doesn't seem to have any relatives. Apart from the neighbors, they seldom interact with others. "

Another person said, "They have a son, but he's not very good. . . "

" Hey, Mrs Wang, don't tell others about those things. . . "

"I was just casually saying that. . . "

From their mouths, Xia Dong did not get much information. It seemed that Fu Chenghai's family was quite mysterious.

In front of them was a red brick house courtyard. The courtyard door was closed. Xia Dong raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone there?" After barking a few times, no one answered. They only heard the barking of dogs in the courtyard.

It was now morning, so perhaps they were all working in the fields.

Xia Dong thought of the strawberry garden that Xiaobao had mentioned.

On the way, she asked a few people and successfully found the Fu family's strawberry garden.

Outside the shed, a pair of my wife is busy packing the strawberries. The old lady is sitting on a low chair and packing the strawberries. Fu Chenghai, on the other hand, is bending over to carry the strawberries.

Xia Dong walks forward, "Uncle, Auntie, sorry to bother you. "

The old woman acted as if she did not hear her and continued to do what she was doing. Fu Chenghai put down the box in his hand and turned around to see a young and beautiful woman standing in front of him. She was slightly startled and then, as if she remembered something, her face immediately turned pale.

Xia Dong was also sizing up Fu Chenghai. Although his face was full of wrinkles, she could still vaguely see his face when he was young. Just like the old woman, he gave her a very familiar feeling.

Where had she seen him before?

Fu Chenghai forced himself to return to normal. He coughed and said, "Who are you looking for?"

Xia Dong put the two boxes on the ground and said with a smile, "Uncle, I am the mother of Yi and his two siblings. Last month, the children were taken care of by you and Auntie, so I specially came to thank you. "

Fu Chenghai rubbed his hands uneasily. He glanced at the old woman and said, "You are too polite. My old partner doesn't really see strangers, so don't mind him. Come, let's go to the house and have a cup of tea. We'll stay for lunch too. "

Xia Dong originally came to inquire about the situation, so she did not refuse. She smiled and said," Uncle, let's finish this bit of work first before going back. I'll help you. "

"No need, no need. Anyway, it's not urgent. Old partner, quickly accompany the guests home. I'll go to town to buy some vegetables. "

"Uncle, it's fine as long as it's normal. " Xia Dong quickly stopped Fu Chenghai. "If you are so polite, I would be too embarrassed to stay and cause trouble for you. "

Fu Chenghai smiled honestly, "Daughter, you don't know. We don't have any relatives. It is rare for a guest to come. We are happy that there is only about a hundred meters of road from here to town. It's very convenient. You and my old partner go home first. I'll be back soon. Daughter, let's go together! "

The last sentence. He was referring to Leng Xue, who was not far from Xia Dong.

Xia Dong quickly said, "This is my driver, uncle. He has caused trouble for the two of you. "

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and go home -" Although Fu Chenghai was old, his legs were very agile and he walked quickly towards town.

The old woman put down the work in her hands and stood up. She slowly raised her head to look at Xia Dong. Her eyes were a little complicated, and there was sadness in them that she could not understand. She sighed softly. "Let's go home. "2

The courtyard was not big but it was very clean.

There was an osmanthus tree planted in the courtyard. The light yellow petals were scattered among the green leaves. They were like stars and the air was filled with a fragrant fragrance.

The tree was as thick as a bowl. It seemed that it had been planted for at least ten years. Xia Dong could not help but be in a trance. She remembered that when she was young, she lived in the courtyard house. There was also such a thick tree. Every time the osmanthus flowers bloomed, Her mother would make osmanthus wine for her and carry her to sit under the osmanthus tree. The spoon was fed to her mouth.

Unknowingly, the corners of his eyes became moist.

Osmanthus was still the same, but the warm embrace that hugged her was no longer there.

The old woman leaned against the door and looked at Xia Dong blankly standing in front of the osmanthus trees. A flash of pain quickly flashed across her muddy eyes. She quickly lowered her head and walked into the room.

A few minutes later, the old woman carried a small coffee table and walked out. Xia Dong saw this and quickly went to help her.

The old woman pointed at the osmanthus tree, "Put it under the tree. The scenery outside is good. "

"Okay. " Xia Dong placed the tea table under the osmanthus tree and helped to bring a small chair over.

The old woman went into the kitchen and made a pot of osmanthus tea. The yellow and orange tea slowly poured into the transparent glass cup and the fragrance overflowed.

The three of them sat around the coffee table.

Silence.

Xia Dong looked up at the osmanthus tree and smiled, "Auntie, you also like osmanthus trees?"

The old woman's tone was indifferent, "Yes, my child likes osmanthus trees. When she was young, whenever osmanthus flowers bloom, she would like me to make osmanthus wine meatballs for her. "

The smile on Xia Dong's lips became even wider, and a layer of mist covered her eyes, "When I was young, I also liked to pester my mother to make osmanthus wine meatballs. "

The old woman's lips curled up and her voice was gentle, "Your mother must be very happy to have such an outstanding daughter like you. "

Xia Dong's vision was blurred by tears and she could not even see the figure in front of her clearly. She sobbed slightly, "My mother has already passed away. She did not see the day when I became an adult, nor did she enjoy a day's happiness. . . "

The old woman lowered her eyes and picked up the teacup to cover the sadness in her eyes but it could not cover her trembling fingers.

"My old companion, I'm back!" An old voice broke the silence in the courtyard.

Fu Chenghai pushed open the door of the courtyard and entered. He was carrying big and small bags of vegetables with a simple smile on his face.

Xia Dong looked up and felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. She could not help but frown and ponder deeply.

Fu Chenghai quickened his pace and walked towards them. He said happily, "You guys sit, I'll go and cook. "

The old woman stood up. "I'll go. You stay here and chat with the guests for a while. "

Fu Chenghai touched his head honestly. The wrinkles on his face relaxed. He smiled and said, "That's true. My cooking is not as good as your cooking. You can go in first. If you need my help, just call me. "
