Ji Yuanyuan nodded. “That’s good. As the saying goes, it’s better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. It’s fine to take a few days off from kindergarten.”
“Go to sleep.” Qin Mucheng reached out to dim the lights in the room.
Ji Yuanyuan hummed and closed her eyes.
The next morning, when Tangtang found out she didn’t have to go to kindergarten for the next few days, her smile almost reached her ears.
“Mom, can we still go to Second Granduncle’s shed to pick strawberries?”
Ji Yuanyuan found out about her Second Uncle’s current life when he chatted with her Aunt yesterday.
Naturally, she knew what Tangtang meant.
“Mommy doesn’t know if there’s still any left. Let’s go and take a look, okay?” She explained as she helped Tangtang put on her clothes.
The strawberries ripened in the spring, and there probably weren’t many left by now.
Tangtang put on her clothes excitedly. “Great-grandfather likes the strawberries I picked. Mom, remember to remind me to bring strawberries for Great-grandfather when I come back.”
Ji Yuanyuan listened to the little girl’s childish voice and her heart softened. She said in a doting tone, “Alright.”
It was almost time to pack up.
Qin Mucheng personally called the princ.i.p.al of the kindergarten and asked Tangtang to take a week off.
It was easy for kindergarten children to apply for leave. One phone call was all it took.
As for the Qin family, Qin Mucheng had already informed them yesterday.
After calling Li Xu and the rest, Qin Mucheng drove to S City with his wife and children.
This was not the first time Tangtang had taken a long-distance bus. However, she was still curious about the scenery on the road.
Large patches of golden wheat and rape flowers could be seen everywhere, which aroused her interest.
Ji Yuanyuan patiently answered Tangtang’s questions one by one.
Qin Mucheng looked at the backseat through the rearview mirror and saw Ji Yuanyuan’s profile.
He couldn’t help but let the corner of his lips raise and smile.
There was no plan for this trip, nor was there a specific purpose.
Therefore, Qin Mucheng drove very slowly along the way.
They arrived at S City at around two o’clock in the afternoon.
The family of three moved into the villa.
Not long after the phone call in the morning, Zhang Kun sent the keys to the villa over.
Although Li Xu and Zhang Kun had lived in the villa for a while, the layout of the villa was still the same as before. The couple did not make any changes to the villa.
Tangtang was so tired that she fell asleep. Qin Mucheng gently placed her in the bedroom on the first floor.
After she came out, she saw Ji Yuanyuan in the corner of the living room. There was a window in that position, and he could see the flower bed outside through the window.
“Grandpa lived here when you were young,” Qin Mucheng said softly as he came behind Ji Yuanyuan. You, Eldest Brother, and Second Brother will come over to play with Grandpa when you have nothing to do.”
“Were you here too?” Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and looked at Qin Mucheng in surprise.
“I’m not here. I’m in B City.” Qin Mucheng forced a smile. “I can only come over during winter or summer vacation. We didn’t see each other much when we were young.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanyuan lowered her head. No one knew what she was thinking.
“You…” Qin Mucheng asked tentatively. “Don’t you have any impression of it?”
“No.” Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and shook her head with a smile.
Although she was smiling, Qin Mucheng could tell that her smile was a little forced.
He reached out and gently held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand. “It’s okay. You’ll remember it eventually. There’s no hurry.”
“Yes, I’ll remember eventually.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
Her tone was firm. It was unknown if she was trying to convince herself or Qin Mucheng.
Qin Mucheng was a little tired after driving all the way.
He went back to her room to sleep with Tangtang.
Ji Yuanyuan was not very sleepy. She observed the entire villa curiously.
Unfortunately, even after walking around the entire villa, she still couldn’t recall anything.
She took the keys and went out.
How could she not have any memories of a place that she often visited when she was young?
Perhaps she would find it after going out for a walk.
The residential area was more than twenty years old. It used to be a luxurious residential area, but now it has become dull in many aspects.
As she strolled around, she arrived at the flower bed.
The flower bed was ma.s.sive. There should have been a huge tree planted there in the past.
There was a deep depression about the flower bed.
She stood beside the flower bed and suddenly blacked out.
She quickly held onto the fence beside her.
When she stood firm, she suddenly realized that an image had flashed through her mind.
A little girl who looked like she was only seven or eight years old was hiding behind a flower bed. She was pulling a man who was about thirty years old and plotting something.
The two of them looked up at the window of the villa next to their grandfather from time to time.
“Why is there a mistake in my memory?” Ji Yuanyuan frowned and mumbled.
She should be looking out the window of her grandfather’s house. Why was it the window of the villa next door?
“Yuanyuan?” Just as she was looking at the window in confusion, she suddenly heard a surprised shout.
Ji Yuanyuan turned around and saw an unfamiliar woman standing not far away, looking at her with a surprised expression.
Ji Yuanyuan did not have any impression of this woman in her memory, so she looked a little embarra.s.sed. “You are…”
The woman quickly stepped forward and stood beside Ji Yuanyuan. She sized her up carefully and asked, “You really don’t recognize me? You have no impression of it at all?”
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head awkwardly.
“I’m your Second Aunt.”
Ji Yuanyuan suddenly realized that this was the gentle and virtuous Second
Aunt Qin Xiaomin that little aunt had mentioned.
“Second Aunt.” Ji Yuanyuan quickly called for help.
Qin Xiaomin replied with a smile, “I heard from your mother that you and Mucheng brought Tangtang over. I figured that it would be around this time, so I came to bring you some food. The car couldn’t drive in. Your Second Uncle was taking things from the back, but I couldn’t wait and came over first”
“By the way, what were you looking up at just now?” Qin Xiaomin asked after a pause.
“I was standing here just now when I suddenly recalled a scene. Is it someone I know who used to live there?” Ji Yuanyuan raised her hand and pointed at the window.
Actually, she didn’t have much hope. Qin Xiaomin asked casually, and she just said it casually.
“That used to be my house,” Qin Xiaomin said in a low voice after a moment of silence. “But I sold it later.”
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned.
She quickly reacted. “I vaguely remember that I was standing behind the flower
bed with a man. We were looking at the window together and plotting something. That should be Second Uncle, right?”
Hearing this, Qin Xiaomin burst out laughing.
“What’s wrong?” Ji Yuanyuan looked at her strangely.
“Back then, my parents didn’t agree to me marrying your Second Uncle. At that time, you helped a lot in the middle.”
“I did this when I was young?” Ji Yuanyuan was curious.
Qin Xiaomin did not say anything. She reached out and pinched Ji Yuanyuan’s face. “Sigh… Why is your amnesia different from others? You forcefully created a different life for yourself..”
