I want to send you red roses

Grandpa Zhang’s courtyard is also a traditional Sanhe. There is a red osmanthus tree in the main courtyard, which has begun to smell fragrant now. There is a loquat tree in front of the hall on the right side. It may be that this year coincides with the new year, and the branches have not hung much. fruit.

Jiang Li and Yu Tang followed the old man straight into the blacksmith room on the left, watching him throw the scrap iron he was carrying into the material pile, wash his hands, and make a pot of tea.

"What are you doing in a daze, come and sit down." Grandpa Zhang waved to the two of them.

The interior decoration is actually very new, and there is an air conditioner, which is very cool.But Yu Tang took a quick look, and saw that the table in the middle looked like ebony, and the teapot on the table looked like purple sand, and the tea leaves in the teapot must have just been pried off from an old Tongxing Pu'er.

Her poverty-stricken eyes went blind... she realized that this old man, who was very plain in clothes and occupation, was different from what he had expected, at least a hundred thousand light-years behind, referring to his family background.

Uncle Zhang flushed the tea leaves without paying too much attention, then poured two cups and pushed them to Yu Tang and Jiang Li. Bar?"

This time, Yu Tang's reaction was not so big. From the short fight just now, Mr. Zhang could recognize the kung fu moves she used, which only shows that he is very familiar with the Cheng family, and he was also the best in the past. The Luling Cheng family in the Jiangbei area.

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "The Cheng family? The Cheng family in Luling? Cheng Pengfei is a descendant of the Cheng family?"

"What's more, their family went to the battlefield in the Vietnam War, and then returned twice in ten times, and he was the only one left in his generation." Grandpa Zhang said more than Yu Tang when he said these things. You need to be familiar with it, "This kid always thought that his mother's accidental departure was caused by Lao Cheng insisting on going to the battlefield and leaving his orphans and widowed mothers at home, so he has been arguing since he was a child and refused to recognize him."

"?" Although Jiang Li was a little dazed after hearing this, it didn't matter, she knew that the Cheng family's detailed generations of parents didn't do anything wrong, so she turned the teacup and gave Yu Tang a look.

Yu Tang didn't say anything, obviously he already knew about these things.The old man Zhang didn't bother, looked at her and said directly: "Ye Wei and Cheng Song married Jinlan back then, and they have always been friends with each other as brothers. As a descendant who inherited Ye Wei's kung fu, you are indeed responsible for the Cheng family's affairs." There is a sense of morality."

"Just listening to Grandpa Zhang's persuasion, you don't need to take Cheng Pengfei's affairs too much. This kid really made a mistake by going through a detour. The state owns the state law, and he deserves what he should bear. Cheng Song is still here today. Even if I'm alive, I won't say anything more." Grandpa Zhang said again.

Yu Tang clearly picked out the main points from it, raised his eyes unexpectedly and asked, "Did you know all about it?"

The brass ring appeared on Grandpa Zhang's hand at some point, and his expression was very calm: "Not only do I know, I made this thing."

Jiang Li and Yu Tang were taken aback at the same time.

Grandpa Zhang put the ring on the table, "Although Ye Wei and your uncles and uncles were gone ten years ago, I have made friends with them. I am willing to try my best to take care of some things that I have the ability to take care of." .It’s just that the kid from the Cheng family has had grievances since he was a child, and he has gone astray. After the old Cheng is gone, he has completely lost his scruples. If he goes far away from the crooked path, he will not be able to pull him back.”

Yu Tang's heart was slightly moved. Although they all rushed to their respective corners of the world under the upheaval of the times, the inextricable connection within them has not been completely broken after all.

"But that kid from the Cheng family wasn't born with bad embryonic blood, and he didn't rot right down to his bones." Grandpa Zhang suddenly lowered his voice: "You probably wouldn't have imagined that, in fact, long before I found Cheng Pengfei, he had already thought about it." He has changed his mind and started a new life, but since the profit-seeking people behind him have used him, they have naturally been wary of him. It is not so easy to get out of the body, once some things are done, there is no turning back .”

Jiang Li and Yu Tang were silent for a moment.

"This kid has been thoughtful since he was a child, and he is bold and careful in doing things. Those people didn't let him go, and wanted to tie him to a boat forever. He also made up his mind, and wanted to sink the boat directly, and we all finished together. None of those bad guys can escape." The old man Zhang looked at Yu Tang, and said softly, "So he has been fooling around with those people in the past few years, but he has actually collected a lot of evidence behind the scenes at risk, They were sent to me one after another for safekeeping.”

Yu Tang raised his head, but didn't think of anything to say.She rubbed her fingertips on the teacup, and then looked back.

Before coming here, she actually thought that Cheng Pengfei might not have committed many things with his own hands, and also thought that he might not have gone to the point of committing crimes against the law.But I just never thought that after the words of old master Zhang, Cheng Pengfei suddenly changed from a mercenary Xiao Xiaoxiao to a person who has no reason to turn back.

"If you are investigating this case on behalf of the authorities, I will hand over all the evidence to you in a short while, and it will save me a trip to the police station myself." Grandpa Zhang said.

In fact, Grandpa Zhang will definitely have to give a confession later, but Yu Tang felt that these things might not be peaceful on the way to deliver them, so he hummed.

Jiang Li didn't care about investigations and corruption, she just looked at the table with doubts on her face: "Then why does he want this brass ring? Why did he keep it when he was arrested?"

"He wants this because it symbolizes the family heritage of the Cheng family. Cheng Song has been trying to make up for him in every possible way. That kid is young and energetic and doesn't recognize anything." Grandpa Zhang said: "Later, Cheng Song Suddenly it was burnt out by a fire, and he suddenly looked back, and found that he didn't even have anything to think about. So he groped to find me later, and wanted me to make an identical one for him, as a memory .”

Jiang Li suddenly sighed.

"But he didn't inherit the Cheng family's kung fu mantle, and he didn't inherit the integrity of the Cheng family's lintel. He also did a lot of depreciation things that didn't make it to the table. How could he be worthy of such things." The old man Zhang sighed tiredly , "I hate that iron can't be made into steel, but I couldn't bear it, so I gave him this brass coin as a compromise. It looks exactly the same, but the emblem is deliberately left blank, and the Cheng family's unique blue bird emblem is not engraved."

"Then after he was arrested, who did he want to leave it to?" Jiang Li suddenly blinked and looked at Yu Tang, "Will you leave it to you?"

Yu Tang lowered his eyes, recalling the moves he used casually that day.It is indeed possible that Cheng Pengfei recognized her, so he kept the ring, but it is more likely that he left it for the old man Zhang.

Firstly, only Grandpa Zhang knew the ins and outs of this ring best, and secondly, he knew that Grandpa Zhang had been looking after him because of the love of his ancestors.And the purpose of leaving this ring is probably to prevent in advance that if I can't meet with Grandpa Zhang, I will ask him to take care of his wife and daughter behind him.

Therefore, what he has been guarding against is likely to be some ruthless and vindictive people.

"Well, the people of the Cheng family have been stubborn asses since their ancestors. When they say that they will rise up, they will rise up. If they say that fallen grass is a bandit, they will fall into a bandit. I went." Grandpa Zhang showed a look of reminiscence: "Cheng Song's family was actually quite prosperous back then, and his life was peaceful and beautiful. But after returning from the battlefield, his wife and children were separated. He was single and his arm was bombed. Nope - just let me wait for him for a few more years, and when he has practiced stick skills with his left hand again, he must try to compete with me again..."

"Hey, it's meaningless to talk so much. No one is here now." Grandpa Zhang touched his face with some emotion, waved his big hand, and suddenly turned the topic around 180 degrees: "What are you doing this year?" Probably... 27 or [-], right? Are you married yet?"

Yu Tang: "..."

What a weird topic change.

Jiang Li also gave up drinking tea, and looked at Grandpa Zhang with some surprise: "...Grandpa Zhang, can we just say that we are a matchmaker when we see no one? You have been single for a lifetime, and now you turn to be a man for others." Match, how convincing is it?"

Jiang Li was very familiar with Grandpa Zhang, so he spoke recklessly.

Grandpa Zhang also glanced at Jiang Li with the look of "you don't look like a man", and then said to Yu Tang persistently: "It's a big deal to have a family, you..."

"Okay, okay, grandpa," Jiang Li seemed unable to listen to this topic, and quickly interjected, "She's married, she really is."

Grandpa Zhang is usually worried about these younger generations who are less and less willing to start a family, but now he is a little surprised. He was silent for two seconds after hearing that Yu Tang got married, and then slowly frowned and said: " So you're married now? Which family did you marry? How are people doing? Is it okay?"

Jiang Li: "..." Well, I'm not satisfied with co-authoring.

Yu Tang lost his parents since he was a child, and lost his master when he was just an adult. He has been living "free and easy" for so many years, but suddenly he was swept away by this heavy concern, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to answer vaguely. : "...it's okay."

Grandpa Zhang was not satisfied, and continued to inquire: "What's your surname? Is your ancestral home in Dihua? Grandpa Zhang has lived in Dihua all his life. It's hard to know. Your master and parents are gone. I should be able to live for a few more years to support you."

Jiang Li didn't know why he was suddenly laughing beside him, and covered half of his face with his hands, and didn't try to rescue Yu Tang anymore.

Because she felt that there might be no way out.

Duan Tingqi's face naturally appeared in Yu Tang's mind after being told by the old man, and he said a little distractedly: "My surname is Duan, and my ancestral home should not be Dihua... But everyone is quite nice."

A subtle smile floated from the corner of Jiang Li's mouth, but Grandpa Zhang's expression suddenly became strange: "Surname...Duan? Which Duan?"

Yu Tang immediately glanced at Jiang Li, then looked carefully at Grandpa Zhang's face, and said slowly, "Does Grandpa know who it originated from in Yunnan?"

Jiang Li, who was holding his head in one hand and turning the teacup in the other, suddenly winked at Grandpa Zhang. Although Grandpa Zhang still had a strange expression on his face, he nodded naturally and said, "I know you. They are all the richest people in Dihua, and they are also in the top five now."

Yu Tang: "..."

"It's nice to have a rich family." After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and tentatively said, "But I remember, the Duan family seems to have only one granddaughter left in the main family in Dihua all these years?"

Jiang Li interrupted now, "Grandpa Zhang..."

"Hey, I know, I know." Grandpa Zhang immediately said, "I didn't mean that, but... hey," he waved his hand as you like, "As long as we can support each other and live a good life together, we can It's better than anything else, and grandpa can't speak, as long as you all know what I mean."

Yu Tang and Jiang Li could actually hear the old man's hesitation. Although same-sex marriage has been legalized for several years, people's ideas cannot be changed overnight, especially for some elderly people. On-line requirements.

The two originally wanted to sit for a while longer, but seeing that the topic was chatting, they ran in the direction of Jiang Li, who was still a single older young woman.She groaned, jumped up quickly, dragged Yu Tang away like the wind was blowing under her feet.

What the hell is urging marriage to Jiang Li?It is even more impossible to have a good life with children.

The arrogant young people in the first-tier cities are so high-spirited that they feel that being urged to marry is a violation of their great freedom and rights, and it is impossible to rely on having children to provide for the elderly.

Yu Tang was dragged stumbling by her, and was forced to run into the wind.

The sunlight outside was so strong that it could explode the universe, Jiang Li looked up at the sun while running, "Oh my god, please excuse me, I'll go back right away, don't let me burn to death!"

"..." This sand sculpture stuff.Yu Tang suddenly stopped when he was passing under a sycamore tree, and pulled the river carp along the way: "Wait a minute."

Jiang Li bared his teeth under the scorching sun: "What's wrong?"

Yu Tang didn't speak, looked up from the corner of his eye just now, and then pointed to a not-so-thick branch above his head: "There's something wrong with this branch, don't you feel that it looks...not quite right? Coordination?"

"?" Jiang Li looked like what the hell are you talking about.

This branch was really out of place, because it fell a little bit, as if someone had just run over it, because the tree can recover by itself after a long time.And being able to hang down is not just a press or two, which means that someone may have sat on it for at least a while.

And when they passed by just now, Yu Tang didn't notice that something was wrong.She didn't look like Jiang Li in a daze. After looking around, she raised her hand to hook a branch, swayed slightly, and swung herself up, landing on the place where Duan Tingxi had just sat.

Jiang Li was convinced, looked up at her looking around, and put his hands on his waist: "What are you doing? Is there something wrong? Why are you still talking about it?! You are smart, come down quickly, Dad won't you?" It is heat-resistant and will almost die from the sun."

This place does not see Grandpa Zhang's courtyard, so Yu Tang's guess is not confirmed.And she didn't find anything else for a while, so she had to look around seriously and jumped down from the tree.

As soon as Jiang Li returned to his territory, he rushed straight to the boss chair he bought for 2000 yuan, sank himself into it, and stretched his whole body comfortably, as if his life had been saved.

Yu Tang thought of something just after entering the door, turned around and went out to buy two slender rainbow ropes and came back.Jiang Li Xianyu was standing with the air conditioner blowing on, tilted her head lazily, and waited to see what she was going to do.

Cheng Yiduo, who was in the independent reading classroom, was called out, and Yu Tang sat on the sofa and held her in his arms, flipped her fingers around the rainbow rope very quickly, and after a while, dazzled and conjured up a weaving that looked like an elk out of thin air, cute Extremely.

Cheng Yiduo couldn't help but blinked, Yu Tang put her arms around her and asked, "Do you like it?"

"I like it." Cheng Yiduo nodded immediately, and said, "I like it very much."

Yu Tang said: "It can be hung on the schoolbag, so that you can see it all the time."

Cheng Yiduo immediately jumped out of her arms when she heard the words, and ran to the classroom to get her schoolbag.

Jiang Li moved away from the knot from the corner of his eye, and gave Yu Tang a meaningful look.

The deer is the emblem of Lie Xue Dao, because the characteristic of this school of martial arts is its extreme lightness and agility.Not only the ancestral blade and the ring badge have this imprint, but it is also included as a first-level priority by the Central Control Bureau as information.

Yu Tang knew how to weave this knot since he was a child, but it was not taught by Ye Wei, but by dexterity and carelessness. Later, he developed a small habit, which gradually became a symbolic meaning.

So she made this knot for Cheng Yiduo and hung it on her schoolbag, not only to make her happy, but also as a way to show her identity, to tell those who might be secretly plotting against Cheng Yiduo that if they want to get her to take revenge on Cheng Pengfei, they should at least have some scruples first. , weigh the weight.

It's just that, if Yu Tang wants to quietly start a new life in Dihua, it won't work.

After Cheng Yiduo took the schoolbag and hung the elk on it, he touched it fondly, then raised his head and asked Yu Tang, "Can my hair be braided like this too?"

"It's ok." Yu Tang squatted down again, took off the small hairpin on her head, and tied her soft hair.

Because there is only one live head of hair, Yu Tang took a little longer, but the result surprised Cheng Yiduo a bit, she pointed to the mirror and said, "One-horned deer!"

Yu Tang touched her head, "Can you remember my phone number now?"

Children will cultivate this kind of consciousness from an early age, and Cheng Yiduo liked Yu Tang very much, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

"Okay, you can call me if you have anything," Yu Tang led her back to the classroom, "anytime."

"Ok."

……

Jiang Li curled his lips and ignored the matter.Although it seems that Cheng Pengfei himself has such concerns at present, Dihua is not as good as before these years, and even people who act in a wild way may not be as blatant now as they were 20 years ago.

And 20 years ago, the incidence of Dihua's vicious kidnapping was indeed very high.There was even a sensational case where the son of the richest man was kidnapped. In the end, the hostage was not successfully rescued, resulting in the death of a couple, and that couple were Duan Tingqi's parents——

At this time, the person Jiang Li remotely remembered was walking out of the study door for the third time, and walked around the room——Yu Tang still didn't come back.

Does it take so long to send evidence?After Duan Tingxi looked at the refrigerator and the kitchen, he peeled off an apple-flavored candy.

Because Aunt Lin loves to stuff their refrigerators with ingredients, and Yu Tang's cooking skills are really good.So in the past week, Duan Tingqi has gotten used to the days when someone "serves" him for breakfast and dinner.Even sometimes when she was too busy at noon, she didn't just make up for it, but just skipped it and skipped to the meal when she went home in the evening.

After Yu Tang noticed it, he sometimes prepared lunch for her at noon.She is not only good at cooking, but also delicate in matching dishes - she also supports a la carte.

So it seems that forming a habit is a very easy and natural thing.

But so what, if you get used to it, you get used to it, Duan Tingxi thought, she really just wants to have a good meal.

Thinking of this, she still didn't have the idea of ​​making something or ordering takeaway by herself, and simply took out the notebook and fruit plate from the study, moved the office to the sofa in the living room and waited.

But Yu Tang still didn't come back at 06:30, and there was no movement at seven or eight o'clock. At nine o'clock, Duan Tingxi finally moved his eyes slowly to the lower right corner of the computer screen, and stared blankly for two seconds.

She got up expressionlessly and made a cup of scented tea, then wandered around the study, bedroom, and balcony respectively, and poured several pots of flowers.Finally couldn't bear to pick up the phone, lowered his eyes and called Yu Tang.

"Well, there is something I want to ask."

Yu Tang seemed to be doing something. He switched the phone, and his voice went through ups and downs, "Huh? Tell me."

Duan Tingxi then said, "Excuse me, are you trying to starve me to death?"

Yu Tang: "..."
