Chapter 218: Zeng Nianlu's Hometown
Chapter 218 Returning to Zeng Nianlu's Hometown
"So jealous of her." He continued to wipe the body of the piano.
"Actually... I don't know. The first time I saw her, I hated her. Even if she didn't do anything, I still hated her. I was even thinking, why did she live in this world? Why do you want to live, why do you have to appear in front of me."
She always has dreams these days.
Dream about strange things and people.
And strange places.
The cloaked man is silent...
On this day, Ji Keyue accompanied Zeng Nianlu to her adoptive mother's house.
In the small town where I stayed before.
Zeng Nianlu lamented that she hadn't been back for almost eight or nine years.
Since Chen Ximeng's death, the town has been like a nightmare to her.
Although part of the memory of the truth has been erased.
But there is an inexplicable sadness about that place in memory.
Arrived at Zeng Nianlu's home.
Her adoptive mother came out of the house, looking at the child she had raised in the past with tears in her eyes.
"Xiao Lu, you are finally willing to come back."
"Mom..." Zeng Nianlu's eyes were also flushed.
The mother and daughter entered the room and chatted for a long time.
Ji Keyue just sat there quietly.
The adoptive mother's hair is gray, and there are few black hairs left.
His face was also covered with wrinkles.
These years, Zeng Nianlu's adoptive mother has worked very hard.
Seeing Zeng Nianlu's mood was extremely complicated, as before, she was used to taking out all the delicious food at home for her to eat.
Some oranges, melon seeds and peanuts.
There were also several boxes of biscuits that had not been opened.
The adoptive mother loves cleanliness very much, and the house is tidy by her.
"Mom, where's Xiao Xian?"
"Moved out." The adoptive mother said.
Zeng Nianlu, "How come?"
"He has already married a wife. He moved to the city with his wife three years ago."
Zeng Nianlu was taken aback.
"That should pick you up too..." She stopped after speaking.
The adoptive mother noticed Ji Keyue next to her, "This is your friend in the capital."
"Yeah... is my best friend." Zeng Nianlu said while holding Ji Keyue's arm.
The adoptive mother looked up and said confusedly, "That's great, that's great..."
At this time, many neighbors came to the house.
As soon as he entered the door, he yelled, "Sister-in-law Wang, is your adopted daughter back?"
Immediately, several big sisters and aunts came in.
As soon as they saw Zeng Nianlu, they shouted loudly, "Is Xiaolu back?"
Immediately, they came over to pinch her hands, touched her face, and looked her up and down, "The little girl has grown into a big girl, tsk tsk~ she is getting more and more beautiful!"
"That's right, it's no wonder that people who have lived in big cities are all white and clean, and they still smell good."
Zeng Nianlu looked embarrassed.
When they touched the hands, she subconsciously flinched.
But Ji Keyue had already stood far away.
Afterwards, the neighbors turned their attention to Ji Keyue.
His eyes flickered, "Xiaolu, this is your friend from the city. This is too pretty, like a fairy."
How can there be such watery people in such a small place like theirs?
Zeng Nianlu nodded, "Yes, my friend."
"Little Lu, you haven't been home for many years, we thought you were a white-eyed wolf and never came back."
Suddenly a sister-in-law said.
Zeng Nianlu's adoptive mother immediately defended her with a smile, "Xiao Lu doesn't have time to come back. Isn't the one in your family unable to go home every Spring Festival?"
"That's true, too." The sister-in-law was speechless.
Zeng Nianlu bowed her head in silence for a while.
"How is Xiaolu's development in the city?" Another aunt said.
"How much is the annual salary now? College students are promising."
Seeing that Zeng Nianlu didn't speak, they looked at her with disgust, "Little Lu, you haven't developed any skills after all these years, this...it's not easy for your adoptive mother to drag you around for so many years."
The adoptive mother held her hand beside her, and said slowly, "I don't want Xiaolu to be rich, as long as she can come back to see me as an old woman when she has time."
"Mom..." Zeng Nianlu's eyes started to turn red again. "I will definitely come back to see it often in the future."
She felt guilty for not coming home for many years before.
"Xiao Lu, you have suffered for so many years. I understand it, I understand the pain in your heart. This will always be your home, and you can come back anytime."
Mother and daughter hug each other.
Everyone stopped talking.
"Sister-in-law Wang, you're just too soft-hearted. You raised one or two, but in the end no one died for you." Someone beside him said.
Zeng Nianlu said, "Mom, I will support you in the future. Follow me to the city."
"Mom can't get used to life in the city. And you need to work every day, and it will be a hindrance if Mom passes by." The adoptive mother said, "I am very satisfied with your filial piety."
"Mom, don't worry. My place is big, so it's fine." Zeng Nianlu held her hand.
"Xiao Lu, I hear you say that. You have developed well in the city."
"It's okay." Zeng Nianlu said.
At this time, a van parked in front of the house.
"Excuse me, is this Zeng Nianlu's home?"
"I am." She hurried out.
"Your courier has arrived."
When the big sisters and aunts saw each other, they looked at each other, and then went out to look.
The van is full of furniture and appliances.
TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, all kinds, are the latest new products.
The aunts were surprised, "Xiaolu, you must spend a lot of money."
The courier company said, "Miss, please sign for it."
"Okay." Zeng Nianlu took the pen and wrote her name on it.
"Miss, are all these furniture placed in the living room?"
"Yeah, let it go."
Then those people started moving things.
"Xiao Lu, why are you buying these things? The electrical appliances at home are still working." The adoptive mother watched these things coming in and out of the house.
"Mom, don't worry, these don't cost much. Those old ones, you have used them for decades, so don't use them."
In the adoptive mother's home, the refrigerators and wardrobes are still the old-fashioned ones, and some of them have problems from time to time and need to be repaired, so she simply replaced them all at once.
Zeng Nianlu looked at the house at home, and it was already old.
She plans to renovate it.
And those neighbors looked at Zeng Nianlu differently.
Someone instantly praised, "Sister-in-law Wang, your adopted daughter is not in vain, she is much better than your son."
The adoptive mother smiled and said, "Let's have dinner at my house tonight. When my daughter comes back, everyone will be lively together."
They didn't shirk, and immediately responded with a smile.
After dinner.
The aunts started talking again.
While chatting, they talked about Zeng Nianlu again.
"Xiaolu, do you have a boyfriend?"
Hearing this, Zeng Nianlu blushed suddenly, she subconsciously glanced at Ji Keyue next to her, and then said, "I have someone I like, and I haven't become a boyfriend yet."
Afterwards, the aunts had an expression that I understood.
It's just, "Xiao Lu, it's useless if you like it. Both of us have to like each other. We are both experienced people. If the two of us are not together, it's easy to brag about it."
