Rebirth of the beautiful wife of the Republic of China

Chapter 111

Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao were both buried on their ancestral land in the countryside, so they can be regarded as returning to their roots.The tomb is halfway up the mountain, and the slope of the mountain is very gentle, so people will not be tired when going up.On both sides of the mountain road, there are batches of loquat trees planted. From the top to the bottom, they are layered and green.

When you get to the grave, turn around and look back, you can see a clear lake in the mountains.Listening carefully, you can still vaguely hear the "ding dong" sound of the stream next to it, which is quiet and serene.

For Lu Xiangbei, Mrs. Qiao asked him to offer incense first, followed by Qiao Wan, and then Mrs. Qiao herself.

While Mrs. Qiao was going to the grave, Lu Xiangbei secretly took Qiao Wan's hand, and whispered to Qiao Wan in a low voice.Lu Xiangbei greeted Uncle Fu and Mama Zhang softly, and then secretly led Qiao Wan to the side road.

Qiao Wan didn't know why, so she wanted to ask.But helplessly, unable to withstand Lu Xiangbei's brute force, he walked down the mountain along the path.

The two little ones left, and Mrs. Qiao was just going to the grave, and her ears were not deaf, so how could she not hear the movement under their feet.Mrs. Qiao didn't plan to take care of them either. They are already so old. Mrs. Qiao believes that they know it well.

But as she walked, Qiao Wan suddenly felt strange.The way Lu Xiangbei walked seemed very familiar.

Lu Xiangbei took Qiao Wan to the lake, found a large flat rock, and put it under an old tree by the lake.After carefully wiping away the big rocks, Lu Xiangbei sat down with Qiao Wan.

Qiao Wan was confused by Lu Xiangbei, she had no idea what Lu Xiangbei was going for.But against Lu Xiangbei's excitement, Qiao Wan finally followed him.

After Lu Xiangbei settled Qiao Wan, he asked Qiao Wan to wait for him here for a while, and he would be back in a while.

Qiao Wan nodded grumpily, but worried that Mrs. Qiao on the mountain had been waiting for a long time, so she raised her head and added, "Hurry up, mother is still waiting."

Lu Xiangbei smiled and nodded at Qiao Wan, and before leaving, he told Qiao Wan several times: remember not to wander around.

Qiao Wan smiled and nodded again, and then promised that she would not run around, "I will sit here when you leave; I will still sit here when you come back."

Lu Xiangbei turned his head every three steps, and after going out for a certain distance, he started to run into the woods by the lake.

Qiao Wan stayed by the lake alone and had nothing to do.Just listen to the birds chirping and feel the breeze.But after a while, Qiao Wan remembered again, how could Lu Xiangbei know her better than her here?

Although Qiao Wan rarely comes here in the countryside, Qiao Wan will come with Mrs. Qiao every year on the anniversary of death.Qiao Wan walks the way up the mountain at least once a year, and it's normal to feel familiar.But Lu Xiangbei, a person who lived in West Street since he was a child, how could he bring himself here without any detours?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Lu Xiangbei running back in a hurry, holding a few pomegranates with red skins in his hands.There are pomegranates in this place?
Qiao Wan looked at Lu Xiangbei in surprise, and asked, "Where did you get it?"

Lu Xiangbei smiled at Qiao Wan, but said nothing.He bent down and put a few of them in Qiao Wan's arms, leaving only one in his hand.Lu Xiangbei went to the lake to wash his hands, then bent his knees and squatted beside Qiao Wan, peeling the pomegranate in his hand.

Qiao Wan seldom eats pomegranates, the most important thing is that she has to eat one by one, which is really troublesome.

And Lu Xiangbei was on the side, peeling with great interest.Carefully put the red fruit sacs into Qiao Wan's tender hands one by one, grinned, and said to Qiao Wan attentively: "Daughter-in-law, I tried it just now, and this one is sweet."

Qiao Wan didn't respond, but looked at Lu Xiangbei's expression at this time, as if she had known him before.

Qiao Wan looked down at the crystal-clear fruit in her hand, fell silent for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "I've seen you here before?"

As soon as Qiao Wan finished speaking, Lu Xiangbei, who had lowered his head to peel pomegranates, suddenly raised his head, his eyes sparkled, and asked excitedly, "Daughter-in-law, do you remember?" There was indescribable surprise in his tone.

Sure enough, everything happens for a reason.Qiao Wan shook her head apologetically at Lu Xiangbei, and asked, "Was I very young then?" If it was here, Qiao Wan must have seen Lu Xiangbei when she was very young.Even though Mrs. Qiao passed away when she was five years old, Qiao Wan didn't realize how naughty she was before, and sneaked down the mountain to play?
Lu Xiangbei nodded slowly, with a bit of disappointment on his face.

"How old?" Qiao Wan asked her own age at that time.

Lu Xiangbei stretched out three fingers sullenly, and whispered: "You are three years old, I am five years old."

Qiao Wan choked suddenly, a three-year-old who couldn't even hold chopsticks, how could she remember anything?
Lu Xiangbei probably also felt that there was no hope for Qiao Wan to remember, so he said in a nasty voice, "Old Master Qiao brought you here. At that time, you were so clingy to me, and you even kissed my mouth."

"Tell me in detail." Qiao Wan didn't believe that such a small matter could make Lu Xiangbei persistent for a lifetime.

"I saw you here for the first time, and you still hugged me and refused to let go, and refused to go back with Mrs. Qiao." Thinking back to the scene at that time, the corners of Lu Xiangbei's mouth that drooped just now curved up again. "Later, Mrs. Qiao would often carry you to West Street to find me, saying that you wanted to play with me."

Those two years were the happiest days in Lu Xiangbei's life, "Later, Mrs. Qiao once asked me if I liked you. I said yes. You are my favorite, even more than my mother and brother. The old man Qiao said at that time: If I can become better than him in the future, because you like me so much, he will marry you to me.” However, Lu Xiangbei only followed the example of old man Qiao. One year, and then the old man Qiao passed away, and he has never seen Qiao Wan again since then.After finally growing up, Qiao Wan forgot about him, and Sun Haoyu was beside her.
