She was holding a sprinkler to send rain to the flowers around her, and the fine cool water drove away the heat floating in the air. I saw her skillful and meticulous movements, gentle eyes, and she looked like she was taking care of her grandson.

In Su Deng's memory, she seemed to have never changed, and seemed to have aged suddenly in an instant.

"grandmother--"

Su Deng shouted and ran to her side.

Pan Fenglian was in a daze for a moment, the passage of time not only grayed her hair, but also damaged her hearing.

"Grandma, don't you recognize me? I'm Deng Deng."

Pan Fenglian helped her reading glasses, and then recognized the girl beside her, "Dengdeng, I'm here to play this year."

"That's necessary, but playing is secondary, the main thing is to come and see you."

The old man smiled happily, "Okay, grandma is very happy that you can visit me."

Su Deng looked at the wrinkles on the old man's face that deepened with a smile, mottled like shadows falling on the ground through dense green leaves, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little hot.

She pictured her mother, her hair flowing like seaweed, smiling in her garden.

12 years have passed, does her face have as many wrinkles as grandma's?
Twelve years is one-tenth of a person's ideal life span.But Grandma Pan and her mother have known each other for six or seven years longer than this.

According to her, before her mother gave birth to her, she also liked to come to Longhu Villa in summer.

That summer, Pan Fenglian was pruning branches in the forest garden as usual, and she was pruning, but she found a lady who was pregnant with Liujia sitting on the side of the road, her face was pale, and there was no trace of blood in her lips.

She quickly helped him up and took him to the nearest staff building.

Fortunately, it was only a mild heat stroke. After cooling down and feeding her with water, her symptoms were immediately relieved visibly.

That woman is Su Deng's mother - Lu Manman.

According to her, because she wanted to eat ice cream, but her husband refused to let him, coaxed and lied to him, so she got angry and sneaked out of the hotel by herself.

Afterwards, Lu Manman and Su Tanmo were very grateful for Pan Fenglian's kindness. Later, every time Lu Manman came to Longhu Villa for fun, he would bring Su Deng to visit her specially.

After going back and forth, the two became good friends who forgot their years.

Now, this friendship has also continued to Su Deng.

Later, the Su family's marriage changed, and Lu Manman left the place where she had lived for seven years. She had been gone for 12 years without a word from her.

With such determination, Su Deng has no way to contact her until today, and the latter has never taken the initiative to meet her.

Su Deng only felt that she was like duckweed in the rain, broken and drifting away, and the only remaining bond between her and her mother was tied to the person in front of her——Pan Fenglian.

That was the summer vacation when she was seven years old, and she came here with her friends as usual, and when she visited Pan Fenglian by the way, the latter delivered an envelope to her.

The cover of the envelope was blank, with no postage stamp or sender information on it.In the letter, there were no words appealing to the heart, but only one sentence——

"It's been years, don't think about it, don't think about it."

The chic and elegant characters are just like her person.

At that time, she was still young and couldn't understand this sentence, but she could understand the sadness in grandma's eyes, and she seemed to understand that it was impossible for her and her mother to see each other again.

She also begged Pan Fenglian to tell herself everything she knew with the last remaining hope, but often all she got was a sigh.

"Girl, Manman asked someone to give me the letter, she didn't even come to see me for the last time..."

Until now, Lu Manman's whereabouts are still unknown, but it has become her habit to visit the old man in the villa every summer.

Thinking of this, Su Deng casually threw the bag on the stone bench beside her, "Grandma, take a break, I'll help you." Saying that, she took the sprinkler from Pan Fenglian's hand.

Pan Fenglian's smile never fell off her face.

"Grandma, go sit down." Su Deng pointed out a place for her, "Neng, it's right there, the wooden pier next to the tree."

The old man obeyed obediently, "Deng Deng has grown up, and knows how to love grandma."

"I don't love you, who do you love?" Su Deng winked at her playfully.

Suddenly, as if in response, Su Deng looked behind him.

Because of the watering, she was already some distance away from where she stood at the beginning, and her satchel could not be seen from this angle.

What's going on, it seems that someone walked by just now, very fast.

But when she looked around, besides her and Pan Fenglian, there was only the surrounding greenery and the hot sun above her head.

"What's the matter, Dengdeng?" Pan Fenglian asked strangely when she saw her standing still.

Su Deng came back to his senses, "It's nothing, the sun dazzled my eyes just now, grandma, sit down."

When Pan Fenglian heard this, she even told her to slow down, even if she couldn't finish the watering work, she still had to bear it with her old bones.

The breeze blew by, bringing up steaming heat.The sunlight above the head passes through the layers of green leaves of the cang tree, and shines on the ground. Although the light itself is very thin, it still brings light and warmth to people.

When Pan Fenglian looked at them, she would think of the child in front of her.

She murmured: "Manman, this child looks more and more like you."

"So good, how can you bear to leave her behind..."

*
After Su Deng finished his work and sent Pan Fenglian back to the staff dormitory, the scorching sun had already set in the west.

Humming an unknown tune, she bounced along the road.

I sweated a lot on the way, Su Deng wanted to go back and take a shower as soon as possible. She walked briskly into the hotel door, and when she was about to go to the elevator, she saw a corner of the lobby, sitting in a booth near the stained glass window. Full of acquaintances.

Su Deng stepped forward curiously, "Didn't you go to the swimming pool? Why did you come back so early?"

On the elegant black leather sofa, Zhao Yingkai and Luo Shaokang sat leaning on the armrests on both sides, Cheng Xuexue and Jiang Zhou sat alone on the two sides, and in the middle of the sofa, Li Xin embraced Zhou Xiaomian, patting her back continuously, And the latter is actually...

"Why are you crying?" Su Deng asked strangely, but his eyes couldn't stop the excitement of watching the excitement.

"Su Deng!" Cheng Xuexue called out softly when she saw her, and hurried to her side, "Why did you come back?"

"What's wrong?" Su Deng ignored the obvious tension and seriousness in her voice, and asked teasingly, "Why is she crying?"

Cheng Xuexue waved her hand repeatedly, signaling her to stop talking.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu That's the heirloom of our Zhou family. Sister Li Xin, you must help me..." Zhou Xiaomian raised her head from Li Xin's embrace with tears in her eyes. Also trembling slightly, like the spring breeze supporting the willows, I still feel pity.

Zhao Yingkai, who was standing next to him, looked on coldly. He hated seeing girls cry the most in his life. At this moment, he couldn't help but said, "Xiaomian's red silicon gemstone necklace is lost."

Su Deng didn't take it seriously, "If you lose something, go find it, cry around here, will the necklace come out by itself?"

"Isn't it that I didn't find it? Xiao Mian said that she never took the necklace out, and there are only you four girls in the room..." Luo Shaokang said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
