Candide in Chronology is on strike

After He Yuan solemnly introduced her, Tang Ying couldn't even close her mouth with laughter. She looked so worthless that she couldn't even stand her eyes.

Since He Yuan was not perfunctory or secretive, it meant that he really wanted to live a good life with her, and she was very happy.

After eating, Tang Ying went back with Qin Xi directly. She would stay with Qin Xi until He Yuan found a house.

The next day, Qin Xi and the others went to class. Tang Ying was fully armed with a scarf covering most of her face. She planned to go home and have a look.

Her home is not very far from this place. If you walk there, you can get there in half an hour.

The closer she got to Calabash Street, the faster Tang Ying's heart beat and she was very nervous. The scene here was no different from when she left home. The street was still the same, and the jujube trees were still the same ones she was familiar with.

When she was a child, the dates on the jujube tree had grown. Her favorite thing to do was to climb up the jujube tree and hit the dates. Among all the girls, she was the most courageous. She was not afraid of anything, even climbing trees. It's fast and high, and it's very popular among girls.

The tree is still the same tree as before, but the number of people milling around the tree has changed.

Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, No. 27 Calabash Street, is her home, the home where she has lived for many years.

But the door here is closed and locked. It’s not that no one lives in this place. From the outside, this house still has heavy traces of life. There are two pieces of clothes hanging outside. All this shows that this place is full of people. The owner still lives here.

Tang Ying was afraid that others would doubt her, so she did not dare to stay in one place for too long, so she turned back to the jujube tree and sat on the stone slab to see if she could see her family or find out any news about her family.

As she sat there, the vigilant parents had already begun to ask their children to go back and warm themselves by the fire. At this time, flower-taking activities were still very rampant, so the parents in the alley were more wary of strangers.

After a while, an old lady walked over to Tang Ying and sat down next to her, leaning on a cane.

"Little girl, why did you come to our Hulu Street?"

It's rare for people to stay here for so long.

Tang Ying covered most of her face with a scarf, leaving only her eyes exposed, so Granny Ma didn't recognize her.

Although she knew that it was normal to be unrecognizable, Tang Ying could not help but feel a little disappointed when she saw that Granny Ma, who was so kind and kind before, did not recognize her.

"I'm here to find someone. Tang Yan from No. 27 Hulu Street is my classmate. We used to have a good relationship with her. I've been in the countryside for a few years and I just came back recently, so I wanted to come and see her."

"It's also a coincidence that she's not at home, and even the door to her house is closed."

After listening to her words, Granny Ma finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not what she thought.

It turns out that this person is here to find Tang Yan!

But this voice sounds a bit familiar.

She is old and has met countless people. This voice sounds familiar to her ears, which is normal. Maybe she has seen her before and heard her voice!

"You are talking about Tang Yan! She is usually at home at this time, but she is not here today. Maybe she happened to go shopping."

"You are her classmate. Do you want me to tell her that you will come back to her at this time tomorrow?" Now Tang Yan is having a hard time. The one she followed before was imprisoned, and she is alone with two women. The child lives in her natal family, and her reputation is not good. After all, her husband is in jail and has not left her yet.

As high-profile as the old and Tang couple were in the past, they are now so tight-knit.

Because of Tang Yan, Old Tang's son, Tang He, had a quarrel with the old couple. A few days ago, he took his wife and children to live with his in-laws. You know, Tang He's wife has no sons in her natal family, only three daughters. , if the family affairs are not settled, Old Tang will not be sure, and his son will be raised by others in the end.

Of course, she would not tell these things to a strange girl. There are some things that cannot be said between strangers, good or bad. Even if these things are commonplace to neighbors like them, Everyone around knows it.

"No, I have something to do tomorrow. Since today is an unlucky day, I'll come back another day!" Tang Ying waved her hand and refused.

She has no idea of ​​meeting her family yet. She came here today on a whim and wanted to come and have a look. Since it was an unfortunate coincidence, forget it.

Granny Ma couldn't ask anything here. She was used to being cautious. She knew what should be said and what shouldn't be said. Even though she was older, she knew very well.

"Okay, let's walk slowly!" Granny Ma looked at Tang Ying's leaving figure and said with a smile.

The more she looked at him, the more she felt that this person was very familiar, but it did not make her feel any discomfort at all, which meant that this person had no bad intentions towards her.

"Strange, who is this person!"

"Why can't I remember anything? I'm getting older. That's it. My brain is getting worse day by day."

With such emotion, Granny Ma slowly returned home alone.

Here, as soon as Tang Ying came out of the intersection of Calabash Street, she met Tang Yan. She was accompanied by a little girl who looked very similar to her. She was very cute, but the atmosphere between them didn't look very good, to be precise. , it was Tang Yan who was unilaterally fighting against her daughter.

When Tang Ying saw Tang Yan, she reflexively opened her mouth, but in the end no sound came out.

The two sisters are only one year apart. When they were young, they loved to fight over things, and they had a good relationship. As they grew older, they had more and more disagreements. In the end, they even reached the point where they had nothing to say and were strangers to each other. Now let’s argue about who is right and who is wrong. , has no meaning anymore.

Their brother Tang He is two years younger than Tang Yan, but he got married early. Both siblings have children. Only Tang Ying, an older single woman, is not married yet, but will soon.

"Mom, please slow down, I can't keep up with you." Tang Yan walked very fast. The little girl who was more than three years old beside her couldn't keep up with her walking speed at all. She couldn't even walk or run. Out of breath.

"I told you a long time ago, don't come with me. Isn't that good for you to watch your brother at home?"

"You insist on following me, and now you say you can't keep up. It's very dangerous for my brother to stay at home alone. Maybe he's crying at home now. How come you're not sensible at all!" Tang Yan faced her daughter in a broken voice. roared.

Everything was going smoothly, but she didn't understand how things turned out like this.

Now the only people she could vent her dissatisfaction to were her parents and children, but every time she vented her dissatisfaction, she would regret it again, and she felt like she was about to collapse.
