Xia Songlan also read about Zhou Guoqing's execution in the newspaper.

She didn't expect that the man in the book who had tortured the original owner all her life would end his life like this.

His eyes were fixed on the newspaper in a daze.

Ning Jingmo took the newspaper from Xia Songlan's hand and said, "I'm a living person standing here, why don't you take a closer look at that death row inmate?"

Xia Songlan snatched the newspaper, "Didn't you see? Dad posted a travelogue here? I'm reading this travelogue, what are you thinking about?"

Ning Jingmo then noticed that a travelogue by Ning Shenghe was published in the poetry section of the newspaper.

He even said with disgust, "What's wrong with this newspaper? It didn't publish it earlier or later, but it published my dad's travel notes and the execution of that bastard as well.

Don’t read this newspaper, even if it contains Dad’s travel notes. If you want to read it…”

Ning Jingmo quickly tore the newspaper in two and gave the half with the travel notes to Xia Songlan.

Tuanba Tuanba threw the half of the newspaper that reported Zhou Guoqing's execution into the trash can.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was Ning Jingmo and Xia Songlan's 20th wedding anniversary.

Several days in advance, Ning Jingmo told Xia Songlan that he had prepared a mysterious gift for her, and also repeatedly told her to take a leave and stay at home that day.

In order to return the favor, Xia Songlan racked her brains and bought several gifts for Ning Jingmo.

But when that day came, Ning Jingmo suddenly received an urgent task and had to rush out of town.

Before leaving, he said to Xia Songlan sheepishly: "Songlan, I'm really sorry, I'll make it up to you when I get back."

Xia Songlan shook her head nonchalantly, "It's just our 20th wedding anniversary. We'll have our 30th and 40th anniversaries in the future, and when we get to our golden wedding anniversary, we'll have a big celebration."

Ning Jingmo rubbed the top of Xia Songlan's head, his eyes tender and especially gentle.

But time is running out, so I have no choice but to leave.

This day was neither a holiday nor a weekend, and all the children went to school.

Wang Qiuping and Ning Shenghe are still traveling outside and have not returned.

When Ning Jingmo went on a business trip again, Xia Songlan was the only one left at home.

Originally I didn't feel anything in my heart, but now I feel a little empty.

She called Zhou Sangning, "Mom, are you in the nursing home? I have nothing to do right now, so I'll come visit you."

Zhou Sangning refused directly, "I'm busy right now, what are you doing here?"

After saying that, he hung up the phone, leaving Xia Songlan stunned.

But she took a day off today and didn't want to go to work.

I simply called my grandmother again, "Grandma, are you in the courtyard?"

"No, your grandfather and I are here to meet an old friend and are drinking tea now. What's the matter?"

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, you and grandpa have fun."

The two chatted for a while before grandma hung up the phone.

Xia Songlan felt more and more bored. Everyone was busy, everyone was in pairs, but she was alone.

When I think of a lonely person, I think of Qin Dashuang.

Qin Dashuang has had many boyfriends over the years, but she has always been single and has no intention of remarrying.

Xia Songlan simply called Qin Dashuang again.

Qin Dashuang must be busy, it was very noisy, he shouted at the top of his voice: "What's wrong, Songlan? Why did you think of calling me?"

Xia Songlan could tell that Qin Dashuang was busy and didn't want to disturb her, so she just made up an excuse and hung up the phone.

I laughed at myself for being so pretentious. I finally had a day off and some peace and quiet, but why did I feel so messed up inside?

I couldn't help but complain about Ning Jingmo, "It's all Old Ning's fault. He made me take leave for no reason and celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.

He left me alone at home and went to work. Why didn't he ask for leave? Really."

The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I felt, and I couldn't even concentrate on reading.

I turned on the TV and watched it for a while. It was all homely ethics dramas. It was boring to see people laughing happily and crying sadly on TV.

I simply turned off the TV and prepared to go to bed.

While half asleep, I received a call from Qin Dashuang, "Song Lan, were you bored when you were on the phone just now? Come out and play!

I'm going to pick you up and we'll be at your house soon. Hurry up and get dressed nicely. I'll take you to meet some old friends."

Before hanging up the phone, she specifically told Xia Songlan to dress nicely and put on some makeup.

Xia Songlan had no choice but to get up quickly, wash up, and change into her newly bought woolen clothes.

She obediently put on some light makeup and tied her hair up. She looked not only fashionable and elegant, but also bright and generous.

She had just finished cleaning up when Qin Dashuang knocked on the door.

When he saw Xia Songlan, he praised her in astonishment: "You are worthy of being my sister, so beautiful. I must be a man in my next life and marry you as my wife."

Xia Songlan smiled and spat at her, then got into Qin Dashuang's car, "Who are you taking me to see? And you asked me to dress up so formally."

Qin Dashuang smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when you get there."

But he took her through many twists and turns and finally arrived at Happiness Lane.

Xia Songlan asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"It's been a while since you've been back to Courtyard No. 6. I'll take you to Courtyard No. 6 to have a look."

"Why did you think of going to Courtyard No. 6? That courtyard now belongs to Tianya. My grandmother transferred the ownership to her. I haven't been there for many years."

"Then you have to go and see it, it's definitely a surprise."

Xia Songlan knew that Qin Dashuang, as the godmother of the two children, loved them especially.

I guessed that she might have renovated Courtyard No. 6 together with Ning Tianya, and I was full of hope.

But when we finally arrived at Yard No. 6, we found the gate closed.

Xia Songlan was a little dazed, but Qin Dashuang pushed her and signaled to her with his eyes.

Xia Songlan walked to the gate of Yard No. 6, placed her hands on the gate, and pushed gently, and the two doors opened.

Compared with the deserted atmosphere at the entrance, the courtyard was decorated with lights and filled with people, all of whom greeted her with smiles.

Everyone was dressed festively.

There are the grandparents who just said on the phone that they were meeting an old friend.

There are Wang Qiuping and Ning Shenghe who are traveling and may not be back yet.

Zhou Shangning and Xia Sumu were so busy that they couldn't even answer the phone.

There are Ning Ziqing, Ning Tianya and Cheng Yi who should be in school.

There are Xia Chuanbai and Zhang Ling who are busy with experiments and their child who is just six months old.

Qi Bin, Sun Dajun, Qin Chi and their families and children also came.

There are also the old neighbors from the original No. 6 Courtyard.

At this moment, it seemed as if the scene of her wedding 20 years ago had overlapped again.

Everyone smiled and blessed her.

A red carpet was laid from the front door to her door. She stood at one end of the carpet, and at the other end was Ning Jingmo, who was wearing a military uniform and holding flowers.

Xia Songlan didn't understand what was going on for a moment.

Ning Jingmo came over slowly, holding flowers in her hands, "Songlan, thank you for marrying me 20 years ago. I have been extremely happy in the past 20 years.

I hope you will all be there for us on our 20th anniversary, and I hope we can celebrate 30, 40, 50, or even more years of marriage together.”

Xia Songlan's eyes became moist.

She didn't expect that Ning Jingmo really gave her such a big surprise. Not only did he gather so many people, but he also made it so grand and mysterious.

Qin Dashuang urged from behind Xia Songlan, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and take the flowers and give Old Ning a hug!

Lao Ning has been busy for nearly a month for today's matter. "

Xia Songlan took the flowers, but was so excited that she was speechless and could only nod her head.

Ning Jingmo embraced her in his arms openly.

Everyone clapped and cheered behind them.

Xia Songlan blushed and looked up at Ning Jingmo. Ning Jingmo understood what she meant and gently let her go.

The two of them turned together, facing the crowd and receiving their blessings.
