In three years, a lot can change.

The one-story alleys in the city were replaced by skyscrapers, and the suburbs became urban areas surrounded by overpasses.The number of cars on the road has changed from two wheels to four wheels. At night, there are more colorful lights on the street, making the city a city that never sleeps.

The one-person pager gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and the size of mobile phones gradually shrank.The once popular VCD was replaced by DVD, but DVD is no longer a high-end and expensive product.

Society is developing, cities are changing, and people's lives are moving along their own tracks.

It has been three and a half years since Song Ran was forcibly stuffed into a car and thrown on a plane. If he was still in the country, he should be preparing for the college entrance examination in a few months.

In the first six months, Song Ran would regularly write a long letter to Xiaoye every week to complain about her depression in the new environment and her incomparable resentment towards Song Yuan.But as he slowly adapted to the new life there, Song Ran didn't have time to write letters.

The money Song Yuan gave was very limited. After paying the rent and tuition fees, there was not much left each month.Therefore, Young Master Song, who doesn't know what part-time work is in China, can only go to the back kitchen of the restaurant after school to wash dishes to make money in order to live more comfortably.

Going to school and working part-time, Song Ran, who is busy spinning around every day, has no energy and time to call or write letters home.If he hadn't sent a few words to Xiaoye's specially registered e-mail every month, maybe everyone would have thought he was missing.

In the past three and a half years, although Song Ran was not around, other people's lives continued and changed.

Father Chen's business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more projects. He is cooperating with foreign companies to build the first largest amusement park in the country.Immediately afterwards, he began to build playgrounds with first-class facilities and different themes in other large cities. He often made people want to go to other cities after playing the park in this city.

The business of the Chen family is getting bigger and bigger, and Dad Chen is becoming more and more successful, and more and more women are posting up, but Dad Chen has always followed through with his heart and eyes.No matter whether you are a wealthy daughter or a big-name star, no matter whether you dress up noble and elegant or sexy, whether it is faintly visible or just stripped off, anyway, in the eyes of Chen's father, these are just floating clouds, at best, a piece of white meat dangling around.

In his eyes, there is only one woman in this world, and that is his wife Song Yuan.If Dad Chen chooses, he would rather accompany his wife to the vegetable market to poke and pick pork, and then go home and cook for his wife after the selection.

Some outside said that Father Chen was afraid of internal affairs, and some said that he did not dare to provoke the woman's natal family. After hearing this, Father Chen laughed it off.

Whether it is bitter or sweet is as long as you know it in your heart. Why do you need to tell others, anyway, some people will not understand even if they hear it.

Not long after Song Ran left, Song Yuan, who had been idle at home, was forced to work at the Women's Federation. At first, she was assigned to mediate domestic violence.Who would have thought that she would beat a man who beat his wife and child Chengxing into the hospital on the first day of work, not only broke two ribs of the man, but also beat the man's face like a pig's head, and accidentally hurt a kind heart to stop her comrades of the police.

Afterwards, she was transferred to the family planning team, but she herself was one of those who were punished for exceeding the birth rate and preached to others that she lacked confidence, so she was changed again.

After several twists and turns, Song Yuan was finally assigned to a working group to raise funds for helping mothers in impoverished mountainous areas to improve their medical environment. This time, Song Yuan finally found the right organization and mobilized many wealthy wives to contribute money.

The son is not around, and when he is free, Father Chen discusses with Song Yuan to have another one.Father Chen has always wanted a daughter, a wife who is as beautiful as his wife.It's a pity that after Song Yuan gave birth to Song Ran, no matter how hard Chen's father worked, Song Yuan's stomach didn't move at all.

Both of them were normal after examination, but they didn't know why they didn't have any children these years, which made the couple very depressed.

Every time Song Yuan went back to her natal home, she would drag Xiaomu to complain.Said that when I went out shopping at an early age, I didn’t even have anyone to accompany me, and if I had a daughter or a good son, I would lose money.Every time she talked about this, Mother Xiao always smiled happily, which made Song Yuan's heart feel sore.

Xiao's mother remarried, and her partner was the single father with a daughter that Song Yuan introduced to her at the beginning.

The fate is so wonderful, even Xiao's mother never thought that because she couldn't win over Song Yuan, she had to bite the bullet and go on a blind date, and it would actually be a success.

This man is just as Song Yuan said, humorous but carefree, and he is very kind. The most important thing is that this man is very different from the man Xiaomu used to be.This is a man who cares about his family. His family is more important to him than anything else. Even if there is only a morsel of food left, he must leave it to his wife and children.

Therefore, Mother Xiao made up her mind to start a new life with this man, so all she had to do was wait for the two children to nod.

It is gratifying that Xiao's mother and the man's daughter get along very well, and there is no tension. On the contrary, the two often go shopping together.Hearing that the father decided to remarry and the daughter raised her hands in agreement, she was happier than the person involved.

And when he saw Xiao Ye for the first time, the man was nervous and stammered, and usually he bought a bunch of things every three days and ran to the school gate to curry favor with Xiao Ye, because he was afraid that he would not remarry his mother.

After observing for a period of time and seeing that the man treats his mother really well, Xiaoye nodded in agreement not long after.

Xiao's mother remarried and found a good home, and everyone was happy for her. Master Song even gave Xiao's mother a three-bedroom, two-living room as a wedding gift.

Although she is married, Xiaomu still continues to work as a helper at the Song family, with the same salary and one day off a week.The only difference from before is that Xiaomu is now an hourly worker, working from time to time and leaving get off work from time to time.If there is a rainstorm, she can still take a day off with pay. Mother Xiao knows that this is the Song family's care for her, so she has never ignored the miners.

After Xiao's mother remarried, Xiao Ye did not live with the past, he still stayed in the Song family.Because Song Ran is abroad, if he even moves away now, there will only be Song Ye left in this family, and no old man likes to be deserted, so after explaining to Xiao's mother, Xiaoye did not move to the new home, and even declined Song Yuan's intention to send him off. His arrangement for going abroad is that every morning when he is off on holidays, Xiaoye will accompany Lord Song to play Tai Chi, dance sword and dance in the yard in the morning, walk the birds and water the flowers.During the day, when there is nothing to do, the father and father went to the antique market for a while, and sometimes Master Song would teach Xiao Ye how to identify the authenticity of the antiques.

Xiao Ye is very talented in distinguishing the authenticity from the false, and he learns it not only seriously but also quickly. It didn't take long for everyone in the antique circle to know that Mr. Song was accompanied by a rare young man.

Although Master Song is a gangster, he is not an uneducated old man.Especially in the past few years, Mr. Song let go of the pipe. Afterwards, he either played chess or wrote calligraphy and painting to cultivate his sentiments.

And these years, Xiao Ye learned a lot from Song Master's side, and now he not only writes good characters but also plays chess well.The number of times he went to the auction house increased, and Xiaoye also began to learn how to hide his emotions, so that people could not see his thoughts from his face, and he would no longer look stupid when he heard that something was fired for a sky-high price.

But what he learned more from Master Song was how to make people willingly obey him and the persistence and unscrupulous way to get what he loves.

However, in the near future, Xiaoye will use what he learned from Master Song to achieve his own career, but he will also force the person who wants to please him to beat him to death and leave for a foreign country. The two of them have wasted a lot. time.

————^_^————^_^————

In the third year of high school, Xiao Ye became busy with his studies. He got up early and worked late every day, but he knew that he was not a material for reading. The mathematical formulas and long ancient prose in books gave him a headache.

Today is the weekend. Xiao Ye has no classes and no make-up classes. After breakfast, Xiao Ye rode to see Xiao Mu.

Because the third year of high school ended late, Xiaoye's mother had already left work when Xiaoye returned to Song's house. Every weekend, Xiaoye would go to his mother and stepfather's new home to have dinner before returning home.

If at the beginning Xiao Ye was a little worried that the man and his daughter would bully his mother, after more than two years of getting along, he has now relaxed his mind.I have to admit that this man is really nice, he is considerate and considerate and knows how to please his mother, Xiaoye has never seen his mother smile so heartily.

"Xiaoye eat more, you come back once a week, your mother has been busy since yesterday for this meal." The man enthusiastically picked up a piece of meat and put it into Xiaoye's bowl. "If you want me to say that this house is not without space, you can move back and live here." After speaking, he took chopsticks to pick up vegetables in Xiao Ye's bowl.

Xiao Ye smiled, didn't answer, and ate with his head down. He felt that it was not bad for him to live in Song's house now.Not only can I play chess and boxing with Master Song, but also learn something by his side, and no matter how I look at Xiao Ye, I feel that I am a bit redundant in this family. The three people talking and laughing happily at the table are more like a family.

It's good to come back once a week like this.

Looking at the clock on the wall, Xiao's mother saw that it was time, so she hurried to the kitchen to turn off the fire and brought out the soup, and said while serving the soup, "There are still five months until the college entrance examination. How are you preparing? Have you chosen your school and major?" I don’t understand this matter, you can ask Mr. Chen, he is well-informed and understands a lot.”

"That's right, the college entrance examination is a major event, and choosing a school is even more important." The man felt that what Xiao's mother said was right, and hurriedly echoed him, laughing beside it. "On the day of the exam, I asked Mr. Chen to take time off with your mother to accompany you."

"No, there are still five months." Looking at the concern on the faces of the two people opposite him, Jin Xiaoye couldn't tell that he actually wanted to give up the college entrance examination. "As for the major, I haven't chosen yet, but there are only a few majors who take the physical education test." If you are lucky, you will be assigned to work in the provincial and municipal sports committees. Generally, you will be selected as a physical education teacher, and if you are generally selected for this university, you will be fine. I read it in vain because the work I am doing must be completely incompatible with my studies.

Mother Xiao disagreed with Xiaoye's statement. In her opinion, no matter how good or bad he is, he is still a college graduate, and it will be easier to find a job in the future. "There are still five months to work hard. If you can't get into one college or two, it's fine. If you can't, you can take the physical education exam. There's nothing wrong with being a physical education teacher."

Not wanting to continue discussing this topic that caused him headaches, Xiao Ye changed the topic and talked about the thing that he followed Lord Song to Hong Kong to attend an antique auction during the winter vacation. "That blue-and-white porcelain vase wasn't worth the money, but the buyer raised the price nearly ten times because of his aggressive shouting."

"These people really have money to spare." The man shook his head and despised this kind of money-burning behavior.

"Master Song said that what these people care about is not money but face, and money is just a number in their eyes." Xiaoye didn't tell them that he had not only been to a serious auction house, but that Master Song was invited once when he was about to go back to the hotel for a rest. He went to an auction house built under strict guards, and later he found out that it was the underground store that Dao Shang talked about.

The rockets and cannons scare cats and dogs. It is said that as long as they are expensive enough, they can be sold here, and the least valuable commodity here is people.

Xiaoye didn't know if this was true, because Master Song didn't bring him into the store at that time, they just helped identify the authenticity of a few items in the VIP room.

"It would be great if Young Master Xiao Ran was here. He has been smart and good at learning since he was a child. If he is here, he can help you make up lessons, and he is usually supervised." He added some of his favorite food to Xiaoye's empty plate Cai, Xiao's mother asked: "Have you been in contact with him recently? The day before yesterday I heard from Song Yuan that the last time Master Xiaoran left her a message in the mailbox was before the Chinese New Year, and I don't know what he was busy with."

Internet cafes began to appear when Xiao Ye was in her freshman year of high school, and the price was two yuan an hour. Although there were no various websites on the Internet at that time, there were few downloads of movies and songs.That was before computers were widely available, let alone expensive broadband equipment installed in the home.Except for professionals, few people would register an email address. Later, he learned from Song Yuan that Song Ran had an email address, so Xiaoye not only registered one, but also went to the Internet cafe to report every week to see if there was any reply.

As long as you see Song Ran's reply in the mailbox, even a few short sentences are enough to make Xiao Ye happy for a few days.

Half a year ago, the Song family moved to a new home due to urban planning, and then connected to the broadband facilities at home. Every night, Xiaoye would stay by the computer and wait for Song Ran to appear. "I... saw his message on the Internet the day before yesterday. He said that he and his classmates went to several countries around the UK for fun, so he didn't have time to go online."

"Oh, it's good if it's okay, don't forget to go back and tell your godmother, so that they don't worry."

"Understood, don't worry."

It was already afternoon after lunch, Xiao Ye and his stepfather were sitting on the sofa watching the football game together, while Xiao's mother was washing dishes with her daughter in the kitchen while chatting about women.

After having a daughter, Xiao's mother finally understood why Song Yuan insisted on having a daughter. Sometimes no matter how caring a son is, he can't compare with his daughter.A daughter can accompany her to go shopping and buy underwear, but a son cannot, even if the son is willing to be a mother.

……

Put the food packed by Xiaomu into the backpack and carry it on the back, waved to the three people who had been standing on the balcony waving to him and told him to ride carefully, then rode the bicycle Xiaoye turned out of the community.

Looking at his watch, he saw that it was only after four o'clock and it was still dark, so instead of going home, Xiao Ye rode his bicycle to the old site of Song's house.

Because of the city expansion, the Song family just happened to be included in the scope of urban renewal. At the same time, Master Song also felt that the house was a bit old and planned to change to a new one. new villa.

Standing on the side of the road with a bicycle and looking up at the towering commercial building, how can I see that there was a swing in its original location, a house full of good memories.

Three years ago, it was a place far from the city center, but now it has become a bustling business district.

The road they used to walk to and from school every day has now become a pedestrian street paved with bricks. The big trees planted before have disappeared, and now there are street lamps sticking there.

But even so, everything that happened here will still be remembered by those who care, and will not be forgotten as the environment changes.

"If Song Ran comes back at this time, I don't know if I can find it here." Having seen enough, Xiao Ye smiled and said to himself, got on the car with a backpack on his back and was about to go home, but at this time a Chinese with a strange tone was behind him sounded.

"Excuse me... where are the houses and residences here? This should be...Huaxin Road, XX District...renovated?" The speaker's tone was puzzled, confused, puzzled, and angry.

"Yes, this is Huaxin Road..." Xiao Ye turned the car around and looked at the speaker.

A pair of canvas shoes, trousers with raw edges and holes at the knees, a white T-shirt with a strange geometric pattern printed on the chest, and a small black suit, dragging a suitcase behind him.This person's height is not short, Xiao Ye roughly estimated that he was only half a head shorter than himself.

He couldn't see his appearance clearly, because the man with short brown-red hair was wearing a pair of sunglasses that covered half of his face, but the aura emanating from this man made Xiaoye feel both familiar and strange at the same time.

The passer-by was also obviously taken aback when he saw the other person turn around, and then laughed. "What are you doing, you didn't tell me when you moved, and you treated me as dead?" the man took off his glasses and said angrily.

Seeing the face behind the sunglasses in front of him, Xiao Ye's eyes widened. "Song... Song..."

"Xiaoye has stuttered after not seeing you for three years." Song Ran smiled and pinned the sunglasses on the collar of his T-shirt.

"Why did you come back?"

"Accompany you to take the college entrance examination."

"What? What about England?"

"Dropped out."

"When you are about to graduate? Song Ran, what are you thinking! Does godmother know?"

Song Ran tilted her head, spread her hands and shrugged her shoulders, showing a lack of expression.

It's obvious that Song Yuan doesn't know that he dropped out of school, let alone that he has returned.
