Chapter 229 I'm afraid you'll wait too long
That morning, Long Cheng'ang and Tian Tian went out to the airport together. Long Zeting had to go to work, so he couldn't take it away, so naturally Long Chengxuan went there. Before leaving home, he specifically reminded Zhang Xiaomo: " Stay at home honestly and don't go out. If you really want to take a walk, that is, walk in the yard, at most, you are in the community and you are not allowed to walk out of the community."
Zhang Xiaomo also knew his body, so he naturally nodded obediently.
After seeing everyone off, she read a few pages of books at home, and felt a little bored and wanted to go out for a walk. In fact, this is because she has been at home for too long recently and is a little idle. Otherwise, she wouldn't feel bored if she stayed at home for a few hours, even if she stayed for ten days and half a month.
With this idea, she simply put the book aside and got up and walked out. Of course, before she went out, she also greeted Grandi to avoid worrying. As for safety, the first thing is that the community is home to some important people, and in addition to the last shooting, the security of the community has been greatly strengthened, so she is not worried.
Besides, she also knew that in secret, Long Chengxuan must have arranged someone to protect her, but she just didn't know where it was.
With these layers of guarantee, she pushed open the gate and walked towards the central garden. It was already mid-autumn now, the weather was just right, the sun was not dazzling, and the cool autumn wind was blowing, which was very comfortable. In addition, the special nature of the community was actually very elegant and beautiful. I was in a good mood along the way.
Now that I think about it, I always stay with Long Chengxuan, so she ignored these beautiful scenery. While walking, I saw a large area of purple sunflowers, and blooming bougainvillea. Bauhinia also fell from the trees from time to time. Although it was not as beautiful as the legendary cherry blossom snow, it was better than the scenery, the atmosphere was good, and it was even more relaxing.
"Can the girl over there do me a favor?" After hearing an old voice, Zhang Xiaomo was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw an old man standing by the pond.
She hurried over: "Is there anything wrong?"
"I just sat here, but fell asleep and got my hat into the pond. Can you help me reach it?" The old man felt a little embarrassed: "This is the hat my little grandson bought with the pocket money he saved. If it disappears, he will definitely cry for a long time."
Knowing the shocking posture of the child when she cried, and the child's filial piety, she smiled and nodded. She looked around and found a branch not far away. She walked over and picked it up, reached out and hooked it, but it was still a little bit late. She only reached a little bit of the brim. Not only did she not get the hat over, but she pushed it further.
This is a cotton hat. Now it has sucked a lot of water. It seems that if you don’t take it out, you will probably sink. Zhang Xiaomo thought about it, then picked up a branch on the other side, then pulled a piece of wild morning glory vine and wrapped it tightly. Then he reached over and hooked the hat back.
But the hat was dirty. Although the old man said he didn't care, he felt a little unhappy when he looked at his eyes. At this time, she remembered that there was a place where the flower worker was washing hands and sprinkling water not far away. She smiled and asked the old man to wait for a while, took the hat and rinsed it there, soaked the dirty traces on it for a while, and then disappeared after rubbing it.
Only then did she take the hat back to the old man: "Put it here and dry it. This kind of weather has sun and wind, and it does it very quickly."
The old man was happy: "Which girl from which family are you? I rarely see you."
"I... am Long Chengxuan's fiancée." Because the wedding was not held, she couldn't tell others that she was the wife of the Long family, so she could only call herself a fiancée.
The old man was dissatisfied after hearing this: "What's wrong with this guy Long Chengxuan? Isn't it all over the certificate? I just don't even give you this identity?"
Unexpectedly, the old man would know this. She was a little surprised, but nodded: "No, before introducing me to everyone, if I said this directly, it would probably bring me a lot of danger. A Xuan asked me to say this to protect me. He... was very good to me."
After hearing what she said, the old man nodded: "I watched this brat grow up. Although I was a little bored, I was still very good at seeing people. Well, I had a good eye for people, as good as his father. Tian Yatou is also a good girl."
It seems that the old man has a really good relationship with the Long family, otherwise he would not have such a close name to the Long family. Zhang Xiaomo smiled and said, "Well, everyone is very good and loves me very much."
As if I saw something, the old man smiled: "Girl, you are not bad either. It is said that he saved Zhao's mother, and you even accepted her fucking relatives. And... Speaking of the Zhang family in City C, it is too low-key and not involved in politics, so everyone thinks that the Zhang family is actually just an ordinary businessman." Speaking of this, the old man stopped talking, just smiled: "The old man in the Li family should regret it."
After saying this, Zhang Xiaomo remembered that she had grandparents in her memory, but she had never had grandparents, and her parents had never said it, so she always thought that grandparents had passed away: "My grandpa and their family..."
The old man knew that she had no idea about the existence of the Li family: "This is a matter, if your parents don't tell you, I can't say anything about it, so as not to say that I'm gossiping. Wait, I guess they will come by when you get married."
She didn't force her to see the old man. She had lived for so long without grandparents. If she had two more relatives, that's the case.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaomo didn't ask, the old man was a little surprised, but in the end he just smiled: "Little girl, I heard you went to the plateau for medical assistance. Are you tired?"
"Fortunately, the conditions on their side are too difficult, and adults are not bad. It's difficult for children to be born. So the people there are very precious children because it's too difficult." She was asked by someone else, but she answered another question. She obviously didn't think it was amazing to go to that kind of place to do medical assistance.
But speaking of this is also true. This year is her third time doing medical assistance, and she has long been calm about these things.
The old man was very interested in the Tibetan area and started chatting with her.
She was bored, and secondly, she thought that the old man was sitting here alone at such an old age, so her family should be too busy and had no time to accompany him, so she patiently started chatting with the old man.
"Xiao Mo, you are here." I don't know how long I chatted, but it was not until Long Chengxuan called her that she realized that she seemed to have been sitting here for a long time. She stood up with a smile: "Well, I was walking in the community, but I met this grandpa and had a great time chatting with him."
When Long Chengxuan saw the old man in front of him, he immediately gave a standard military salute: "Hello commander!"
The old man waved his hand: "It's been a few years since I left, don't be so serious anymore."
Long Chengxuan also smiled and put down his hand: "Commander, are you chatting with Xiao Mo?"
The old man also understood what he meant: "Little girl is good, much better than you. Treat her well in the future and let me know that you dare to bully her. Be careful that I will beat you!" After saying that, he picked up the hat hanging on the side: "Little girl, I'm leaving. If you have time, come to my house and sit down. The third yard to the east is my house."
"Oh, OK!" Zhang Xiaomo responded in a daze, and then watched the old man leave, then she turned to look at Long Chengxuan: "Is this the commander?"
Long Chengxuan was helpless and sat next to his wife: "Well, the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region. I used to stay under his command, but I was transferred later. I have been retreating for three or four years now. I usually live with his son, so it is probably that Grandma Sun's festival is coming soon, so he is back."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaomo nodded: "Oh! I feel... the commander is pretty good. I have been chatting with someone like me for a long time." You know, she is not someone who can find topics. It's a blessing that the two of them have been chatting for so long.
Long Chengxuan also smiled and nodded: "I was a little surprised, why did he talk to you? You know, since Grandma Sun passed away, he has not talked much to others."
She didn't know about this anymore. Maybe it was because she helped pick up the hat, or maybe she helped wash the hat? But it wasn't right. Even if a person like him retreated, there should be a guard around him, but he was indeed sitting here alone just now.
After expressing his doubts, Long Chengxuan shook his head: "The commander used to sit here and chat with Grandma Sun. Grandma Sun used to have a good family, and in order to get along with the commander, he broke up with the family. He accompanied him through the most difficult years. It is said that during the big wave of that year, Grandma Sun's family came. As long as she nodded, she could take her abroad, but she chose to stay."
"What's good about abroad?" She was dissatisfied when she heard this: "Being looked down upon by others, bullied, and having to deal with unfamiliar environments. If it were me, I wouldn't want to go abroad." When she said this, her arm tightly held Long Chengxuan's hand, as if she was afraid that she would be caught by others when she let go.
Her cute appearance made Long Chengxuan laugh, and she smiled and reached out to touch her head: "Grandma Sun didn't leave, and then her family never had any contact with her again. She really had no one in her family. From then on, no matter how busy the commander was, he would have to take time to accompany her, just because he was afraid that she would be lonely alone. But he didn't expect... Grandma Sun left first. Later, the commander often sat here alone, and his son was afraid that something would happen to him, so he took him over and stayed there. Only on Grandma Sun's Day would he come back to stay for a few days."
After listening to this story, Zhang Xiaomo felt a little sigh: "So, Axuan, we must all live well, okay? No one should leave anyone behind, otherwise... it would be too pitiful to be left by the remaining one."
Long Chengxuan was amused by her sigh, and reached out to touch her nose: "Someone told me that she would not die before me. So someone must live for a long time."
"I don't want it, so I won't let you wait for me for too long." Zhang Xiaomo gently leaned his head on his shoulder: "Others say that one day on the Naihe Bridge, ten years on earth. I'm afraid that you will forget me if you wait for too long."
Is this... considered a three-life of fate? You won't wait on Naihe Bridge for too long, otherwise I'm afraid you will forget me...
