At nine o'clock in the morning, a white Geely car slowly drove in and stopped in the courtyard.
Su Nuo half lifted the window screen that shaded the sun, and looked out through the gap. The middle-aged man who came out of the driver's seat was wearing a slightly old suit, slightly fat, and looked embarrassed when facing Father Shen.
She withdrew her hand, turned and left the room.
Just as Su Nuo came downstairs, Yuan Guohong also happened to enter.
She tentatively looked at this blood father, this is a very rich and honest man, with his hands clasped in front of his lower abdomen, his fingertips kept rubbing revealing his inner anxiety; while Su Nuo looked at him, he also She was watching Su Nuo quietly.
Su Nuo's height is 165, not too short, but she has a small frame, slender limbs, pale skin, and a small face that gives people a feeling of fragility. She was wearing a white skirt that reached her knees, and a knit sweater covered her slender shoulders. Her hair was plastered on both sides of her cheeks, and her eyes were big and watery.
She looks like a lady from a famous family in ancient times.
Yuan's father suddenly felt embarrassed and couldn't help lowering his head.
"What are you doing in a daze, come and sit down." Shen's mother warmly greeted the people to sit down, and asked her auntie to make a pot of good Pu'er tea.
"Nuonuo, come here, this is your... biological father." When the word "father" was mentioned, Shen's mother's smile faded a lot.
Su Nuo remained silent, wrapped her knitted sweater tightly around her body, and sat on the opposite side of Yuan Guohong.
"Nuo Nuo is good." Yuan Guohong carefully raised his eyebrows, and called her by her nickname obediently.
Su Nuo smiled without showing her teeth: "Hello." She didn't say another word.
The atmosphere in the living room became stalemate. After Shen's father and Shen's mother looked at each other, they coughed lightly to break the silence: "Since Mr. Yuan did not mind the hard work to come here, I will make a long story short. Although we recognized the wrong person, Su Nuo was also raised by us." Fourteen or fifteen years old, my wife and I have long regarded her as our own daughter, and have not treated her badly in the past few years.
To be honest, Mr. Yuan suddenly found us, which surprised us all. If you really recognize Nuo Nuo, Nuo Nuo is willing to go with you, we naturally won't stop you, but if it's for other reasons, I can't make me nod my head in agreement. "
Shen's father spoke openly, and anyone with a little heart could hear the meaning in his words.
The original family went bankrupt a year ago, with a lot of debts, and they raised two stubborn sons. It can be seen that the daily expenses are huge. Under such circumstances, the reason for adopting a daughter is nothing more than one reason - to help reduce the burden on the family.
The Shen family has loved Su Nuo for half of her life, so how could she be allowed to be someone else's "servant".
Yuan Guohong's face was unbearably ashamed when he said these words, and he opened his mouth: "To tell you the truth, in fact, it was my wife's intention to bring Nuonuo back. All down..." These words seemed to be suspected of selling misery, Yuan Guohong hurriedly said, "Don't worry, we let Nuo Nuo go back because we want to reunite the family and have no other intentions. Nuo Nuo has grown up now, when will she Come back when you come back, we will never stop, even if we are there only two days a week, we are content."
His sincere appearance moved Shen Mu, who was always soft-hearted, and finally took Su Nuo's hand, "Nuo Nuo, you, what do you mean?"
Su Nuo lowered her eyebrows and looked at the pale fingertips.
There are not many descriptions of Yuan's parents in the novel, only that they are a mean couple. However, the honest and shy Yuan father in front of him has nothing to do with being mean, and of course it may be a disguise.
She took a deep breath. During the time in the orphanage, like other children, she fantasized about living with her parents day and night. After she woke up, she kept asking herself, why did they abandon her
Now, Su Nuo, who has been reborn, wants to give her childhood self an answer.
"I'll go back with you to have a look." Her reply was distant and calm.
Yuan Guohong's eyes lit up, and he quickly calmed down again: "Okay, then, then take a look, if you feel uncomfortable, come back, we won't force you."
Su Nuo nodded, "Then I'll go and pack my things."
Mother Shen followed her into the bedroom, closed the door, and helped organize things.
"Nuonuo..." Mother Shen looked hesitant.
Su Nuo raised her head: "Mom?"
I saw her take out a bank card from her pocket and hand it over: "You grew up rich and well-clothed, and you can't bear any hardships. It must be very sad to go to that kind of place now. There are more than 200,000 in it. You take it first." Flowers. Mom wanted to give you more, but your dad was afraid that Yuan's family would miss it... "
The bank card was flimsy, Su Nuo felt warm in her heart, and pushed it with a smile, "Mom, no need. I still keep the ones you gave me earlier."
Shen's mother's face darkened, and she couldn't help but put the bank card in her bag, and said: "Mom knows why you went back. When Ah Wang calms down, your father and I will persuade you. Don't worry, I will not allow any woman to go back except you. Take half a step into Shen's house." When she said this, Shen's mother's eyes were extremely firm.
Su Nuo said helplessly: "What I said in the hospital that day was not angry. I had already given up on Brother Wang. Mom, I know you love me, but feelings are something that can't be forced. It would be uncomfortable for any of us to be tied together forcibly. .”
Looking at Su Nuo, who looks cute and stubborn, Shen's mother sighed in her heart one after another. She thought that her child might be blind and confused by lard. Except for Su Nuo, she doesn't like any woman.
After packing up the things, Su Nuo secretly took out the bank card and put it under the book. After taking a last look at the room, she went downstairs with a small package.
Seeing Su Nuo's figure appear, Yuan Guohong hurriedly got up and took the things from her hand.
At the door, Su Nuo looked at the elders: "Mom and Dad, then I'll go first."
Shen's father has always been reticent, and after a few words of advice, he turned and went back to the living room. Shen's mother was sad, and said with red eyes, "I'm going to call home."
"Well, Mom and Dad, please take care of yourself." Su Nuo gave her a hug, turned around and got on the white Geely car.
When Che Ying gradually walked out of Shen's house, Su Nuo saw Shen's mother still reluctantly looking at the door, her heart suddenly throbbed, and soreness appeared in her eyes.
No matter what happens to Shen Wang and Meng Yiran in this life, whether it is good or bad has nothing to do with her, but she will definitely protect the family affection that Shen's parents have for her, and no one can destroy it.
The car was driving on the road, and there were lush trees on both sides. Yuan Guohong in the driver's seat peeked at Su Nuo through the rearview mirror. She leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and the light sunlight jumped on the maroon hair, reflecting the skin More white and transparent. The end of the dark eyes drooped, as if asleep, and seemed to be resting again.
-it's beautiful.
Clean, dusty and beautiful.
Thinking of the dilapidated two-story old house, Yuan Guohong suddenly felt wronged for Su Nuo, and thinking of his beloved wife who was obsessed with girls, his thoughts became more complicated.
"Can you stop over there?"
When they reached the block, Su Nuo made a soft sound.
Yuan Guohong looked out the window, where she pointed was a hair salon.
Su Nuo stroked her curly hair, "I want to dye my hair first."
Yuan Guohong pulled over and stopped.
Su Nuo hesitated for two seconds: "It may take a while, or you can give me the address, and I will go there by myself."
Yuan Guohong hurriedly waved his hands: "It's okay, I'm idle, I'm idle, you go."
Su Nuo got out of the car with a small sachet and went straight into the hair salon.
There are not many customers at this point. Seeing customers coming to the door, the barber greeted them with a smile, "Miss, perm or dye your hair?"
Su Nuo said, "Dye it."
The barber pulled out the chair: "Your skin is fair, and it will look very good if you dye it in the hottest avocado green."
Su Nuo refused: "Just dye it black."
It didn't take long to dye her hair. Forty minutes later, Su Nuo, who had returned to her original color, paid and left the hair salon.
Yuan Guohong was smoking in the car, when he saw Su Nuo coming out, he threw away the cigarette butt and opened the window for ventilation.
Due to physical reasons, Su Nuo didn't like the smell of cigarettes. Even though Yuan Guohong opened the windows on all sides, the unpleasant smell still rushed into the nasal cavity. Su Nuo's throat was itchy, and she covered her nose and coughed lightly twice.
Yuan Guohong started the engine, showing embarrassment: "I smoked one when I was bored. If you feel uncomfortable, go down and wait. We will leave when the smell is over."
Su Nuo pinned her smooth black hair behind her ears, "No need, the smell is not very strong."
Yuan Guohong looked at her dimples and smiled: "Black is beautiful, it looks exactly like your mother when she was young."
After finishing speaking, there was a bit of silence in the air.
On the road again, Yuan Guohong said: "When you lost it, we searched for it for a long time, but we couldn't find it. Your mother's eyes are sick from crying, and it hasn't worked out yet."
Su Nuo's thick and curly eyelashes trembled: "But the director of the orphanage said that I was thrown to the door." She had a severe high fever when she was a child, and her memory suddenly disappeared after the fever subsided. She only remembered the day when she was abandoned. There was a ferocious heavy rain, and she stood in the majestic rain, alone and helpless.
Yuan Guohong clenched the steering wheel tightly, and his voice was suppressed: "That day, your mother and I were working, and you and Yuan Ze were brought to grandma. When we came back, you disappeared. Your grandma said that you were with your brother." I lost it while playing. Yuan Ze has been annoyed because of this... By the way, Yuan Ze is your brother, three years older than you."
Referring to Yuan Ze, Yuan Guohong's tone was a little weak, and he continued: "Our family went bankrupt last year, and your grandma was hospitalized with cancer. She didn't tell us until she passed away last month that you were thrown away on purpose by her, and she was afraid of taking responsibility. So we put the blame on Yuan Ze, who doesn't know anything, and then we found you according to the information she provided. Su Nuo, I hope you don't blame your parents... "
Thinking of the patriarchal mother, Yuan Guohong felt resentful in his heart, but he died and was buried in the yellow sand, all the resentment left was deep sorrow and helplessness.
Surprise flashed across Su Nuo's eyes, and he quickly lowered his eyes again. Yuan Guohong didn't speak any more, and drove the car silently.
Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped, and Yuan Guohong helped carry the luggage in the trunk.
The alleys are narrow, the cobblestone roads wind inwards, every household is close to each other, and the smell of rice wafts from the yard.
Su Nuo followed Yuan Guohong, and finally stopped in front of the innermost gate of the alley. He opened the door and yelled inside: "Honey, Nuo Nuo is back!"
Soon, a thin and frail middle-aged woman ran out of the house.
She stood at the door without moving, her eyes trembling, fixedly staring at Su Nuo.
In the novel, the Yuan family has no feelings for Su Nuo at all, and the excitement when they meet is just a faux pas, but looking at the grief-stricken biological mother, Su Nuo suddenly begins to doubt.
Lin Zhi lowered her head to wipe away the tears that were pouring out of her eyes, and raised her head with a gentle smile: "You must be tired from the journey, Nuo Nuo, come in quickly, the meal is ready, wash your hands and come eat."
Su Nuo is not good at dealing with this kind of situation. In the ten lives she traveled through, she was almost an orphan, even if she had parents, they treated her coldly. Now, her biological parents, who were patriarchal in the plot, were so enthusiastic the first time they met, so she didn't know how to deal with it.
Su Nuo clenched her bag tightly and walked into the house with cramped steps.
