Woven Second Threads Novel Chapter 266

Years ago, some residents on this street began to complain that the meat and vegetables frozen outside were missing. They thought there were thieves, so everyone stopped freezing things in the yard.

But one day, someone still called the police, saying that someone had broken into the house.

That day, Marinda Qingping was taking Eli to prepare for a house cleaning, when she saw the police going door to door asking if anything was missing at home.

Marinda Qingping didn't know it, but she thought about going to Gu Youlian's house to have a look. As expected, she saw that the windows of Gu Youlian's house had been pried open.

She quickly went into the house to check, but the house was in a mess.

The police asked her what she had lost, but she couldn't tell. This was Gu Youlian's home, not hers. How could she know? I can only write to ask her, but for now, I still have to sort out all the messed up things.

Starting from the living room and going to Gu Youlian's bedroom.

There were no shortage of large electrical appliances in the living room. Marinda Qingping was only worried about whether Gu Youlian had left any cash at home. However, according to Gu Youlian's thrifty and cautious character, even if he left it, it wouldn't be much.

While she was tidying up, she was thinking randomly until she started to tidy up the desk in Gu Youlian's bedroom.

The locked drawer in the middle of the desk was not even opened. IDs and household registration books were scattered all over the floor. Marinda Qingping put them away.

Two photo frames were also broken on the ground. One contained photos of Du Gen, Gu Youlian and Xiaomai, and the other frame contained a photo of the Gu family. It looked like it was taken when Justin Gu joined the army. The old couple of the Gu family were sitting, and Justin Gu and Gu Youlian were standing. In the back, Justin Gu was wearing a military uniform worn by newly enlisted soldiers, with a big red flower on his chest.

It was still a black and white photo at that time, but I could just imagine the color of the military uniform and how bright the big red flower on his chest was.

Marinda Qingping felt deep sadness in her heart, so she picked up the glass, stacked the two photos, put them together with the ID, and prepared to put them back in the middle drawer.

When she opened the drawer, she found a pile of letters inside, which were also scattered. They were mostly sent to her by Du Gen from the south and were addressed to "Gu Youlian". However, one of them had a completely different handwriting from Du Gen's. The three characters "Gu Youlian", with silver hooks and iron strokes, are particularly vigorous and powerful.

This type of font is very familiar to her.

I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this in my life, it’s from Justin Gu.

There was also a stack of letters lying in the drawer of her home. She clearly remembered every word of each letter he wrote to her.

She picked out one letter from the pile, knowing that it was private and knowing that she and him had divorced, but she still opened the letter.

Eli waited for Marinda Qingping in his yard for a long time and became a little anxious. He ran over to look for her and started shouting at the door, "Mom, Mom, are you okay?"

While shouting, he arrived at the door.

Marinda Qingping was reading the letter when she heard the voice. She quickly put the letter away, stuffed it back into the envelope, and went out, "Here you go, I'm here."

Eli looked at her, a little worried, "Mom, are you crying?"

Marinda Qingping wiped her face quickly. She was in such a hurry that she forgot to wipe her tears...

Yes, she cried, how could she not cry?

Gu Junchen was always a hurdle in her heart that she could never get over...

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Eli came forward, his eyes full of anxiety.

Marinda Qingping tried her best to smile, "It's okay. I just took a look and it seems that my aunt's family has lost a lot of money. Your aunt's work has been in vain this year. I'm worried about her."

When Eli heard what was going on, he felt relieved and held her hand, "Mom, it doesn't matter, you can make more money if you don't have it."

"Yes." Marinda Qingping nodded and turned his face, but tears were still flowing down uncontrollably.

"Eli." She tried her best to pretend to be calm and pushed Eli away, "You go back and help mom clean the yard first. Auntie's place has to be cleaned for a while. We two will work hard to clean up both houses today. over."

"Okay." Eli was a child after all, so he didn't notice anything unusual, so he followed his instructions and went out.

Marinda Qingping closed the door, turned around and leaned against the door, covering her face and crying, tears streaming down through her fingers.

For some people, just thinking about it makes their whole heart and lungs feel as if they are being clawed at.

Marinda Qingping returned home with red and swollen eyes. Although she applied cold water to her eyes when she came out of Gu Youlian's house, it didn't help much.

When I walked to my yard, I heard a man's voice talking to Eli at home.

Her heart skipped a beat and she ran home.

When she opened the door and took a look, she saw a tall man standing in the room with his back to the door. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, but her temperature suddenly dropped and she sank to the bottom.

Not Justin Gu.

At first glance, she was confused and excited when she saw a man, but at second glance, she knew that this figure from behind was definitely not Justin Gu...

She stood there, feeling cold.

But the man turned around and smiled at her, "Marinda Qingping."

Eli also said, "Mom, Uncle Liang came to our house to help with the work and helped a lot!"

Marinda Qingping nodded and smiled slightly, "It's the New Year, why don't you go back?"

Liang Jiaqi felt a little restrained, then smiled with a red face, "I won't go back to celebrate the New Year this year."

The kitchen was steaming, and Marinda Qingping asked Eli, "Boiling water?"

Eli nodded, "Well, I'm going to cook dumplings."

As if he was afraid that she would be angry, he tried to say, "Mom, Uncle Liang has helped us a lot, shall we let him have dinner?"

"Aren't you going to cook dumplings for him?" Marinda Qingping went into the kitchen to wash her hands.

Eli followed in, "Well, I don't know how to cook anything else."

Seeing that Marinda Qingping didn't speak, he said again, "Mom, you're not angry, are you?"

"No." Marinda Qingping washed her hands, "It's just that Mom feels a little tired today and wants to take a nap. You can eat by yourself."

"Oh, okay." Eli looked at her, still worried.

Marinda Qingping was afraid that his child might have some knots in his heart, so he squeezed his face and said, "Stop cleaning the house. When I have a good rest, we will do it together tomorrow."

"good."

Eli answered from behind, but she went out. When she saw Liang Jiaqi, who was sitting, she immediately stood up and smiled at her with the clarity and innocence unique to a young brother.

She could only smile slightly and said, "I'll take a break while you and Eli eat dumplings."

Then, he turned around and went upstairs, locked himself in the room, covered his head and fell asleep. Even if he couldn't fall asleep, he had to cover his head, because with his head covered, there would be no crying.

But later, she really fell asleep, and she slept until night.

She opened her eyes, feeling confused as to what day it was. She was stunned for a while before she finally woke up and remembered what happened today.

The eyes are sore again.

There was a soft sound outside, it should be Eli.

She wiped her eyes, got up, and opened the door. Sure enough, it was Eli lying at her door listening to the noise.

The door suddenly opened, startling Eli.

"Mom." Eli lowered his head anxiously, "Let me see if you are awake and are you hungry?"

Marinda Qingping held his hand and said, "Let's go. What do you want to eat? Mom will cook it for you."

"I cooked dumplings..." Eli whispered.

"Eating dumplings again?" Marinda Qingping couldn't help but smile after hearing this.

Eli suddenly brightened up, "Mom, aren't you sad?"

It turns out that this kid doesn’t know everything.

Facing Marinda Qingping's questioning eyes, Eli explained with a drooped face, "Every time you feel sad, you will lock yourself in the room and sleep, and you won't come down for a long time..."

Marinda Qingping:...

At a young age, I observed things too carefully.

Eli glanced at her secretly, "Mom, the last time you were like this, you had a fight with my father Gu."

Marinda Qingping froze when he heard the name.

In this family, no one has mentioned this person for a long time.

In fact, the more you avoid mentioning it, the more it proves that there is something wrong...

"Mom, I said, my father is not good to you, but I am good to you." Eli's little hand was in hers, warm and soft, "Mom, others can also be good to you."

After saying this, Eli was frightened and looked at Marinda Qingping secretly again. He found that she showed no signs of anger and continued, "For example...for example...Uncle Liang."

What is this kid talking about? Do you want to bring her and Liang Jiaqi together?

Marinda Qingping poked him on the forehead, "Don't think so wildly. Where did you learn this at such a young age?"

"But Uncle Liang..."

"Uncle Liang is like my younger brother. Don't talk nonsense." Marinda Qingping interrupted him. In his previous life, Liang Jiaqi was his younger brother.

Eli sighed, "Uncle Liang is much better than your brother."

Marinda Qingping:...

That's right, her Marinda family is as good as Liang Jiaqi.

"Do you like your Uncle Liang very much?" Marinda Qingping went downstairs, let go of his hand, and entered the kitchen to start cooking.

Eli followed up, "It's not that I like it, but I also like it. Uncle Liang is really nice. The key is that he treats you..."

"Eli, do you want to eat braised pork?" Marinda Qingping interrupted him again.

have to! Eli said no more...

"Mom, are you in a good mood?" Eli asked, seeing that his mother was in the mood to cook braised pork.

"Well..." Marinda Qingping began to cut the meat, the best three-strip meat, into pieces.

"But you..." Forget it, Eli didn't mention what she was crying about just now, as long as she was happy.

"Peel the garlic." Marinda Qingping instructed him. Seeing that he was still wilted, he smiled and said, "Eli, I'm really well, really."

There are some things that, after crying, you should cheer up and move on...

No matter what awaits ahead.

However, Marinda Qingping often lost his mind.

For example, for the braised pork tonight, she forgot to add salt and doubled the sugar. Eli's voice almost blurred when she said, "Mom, even though I love sweets, you haven't given them to me for two days." You made sweets, so if you want to compensate me, this is not how you compensate me!"

Marinda Qingping:...

Marinda Qingping made a mark on his calendar.

A very ordinary day, neither a year nor a holiday.

Eli saw, "What day is this? Do we start school on this day? It seems not!"

"Well, it's an important day." Marinda Qingping put down the calendar and drew a flower on Eli's face.

Eli:...

Eli found that his mother was getting more and more confused. He either forgot to put the dishes here or there. One time he cooked rice without adding water. As for other things, he took out the trash, threw the keys in the trash bag, pasted the word "Fu" on it, and put the new Throw away the old one and post...

There are all kinds of them.

Eli was very worried. If this was the case, then he and his mother would have to cook the New Year's Eve dinner, otherwise, they would eat dumplings again?

But Eli's worries were unnecessary, because on New Year's Eve, a guest came - Liang Jiaqi.

Liang Jiaqi is a great chef!

Eli suddenly felt that this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner was in order again!

You know, Marinda Qingping went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. He is at home alone and doesn't know what to do!

According to the custom in their hometown, the New Year's Eve dinner should be eaten at two or three in the afternoon. At noon, Liang Jiaqi was busy in the kitchen, and Marinda Qingping came back.

"Mom, where have you been?" Eli hurriedly greeted him and carried things for Marinda Qingping, "Today is New Year's Eve!"

"Yeah." Marinda Qingping touched his head, "Why don't I rush back to cook? Who's in there?"

Marinda Qingping was stunned again and almost fell to the ground.

"It's me!" Liang Jiaqi poked her head out of the kitchen.

Marinda Qingping pressed her hand against her rapidly beating heart and was speechless for a while.

"Aren't you welcome? Marinda Qingping?" Liang Jiaqi looked pitiful, "I'm celebrating the New Year alone and brought my own crafts to the door. Can't you take me in? I'll go back after the New Year's Eve dinner."

Marinda Qingping calmed down and said, "That's not necessary, just stay at home."

Eli happened to see what she bought and asked her, "Mom, what did you buy?"

"Vegetarian cakes are for worshiping Buddha." Marinda Qingping said, and continued what he just said, "Just in time, I'm going to burn incense. If I really need to catch up, I will have to line up in the middle of the night. Liang Jiaqi, you happen to be at home. Rest and stay with Eli."

Eli was shocked, "What kind of incense are you burning? Mom, we have been in the capital for so many years and I have never seen you there before!"

Marinda Qingping put the plain cakes away and whispered, "Go and seek peace."

"Then..." Eli didn't understand anyway. Even if he wanted to be safe, why would he go in the middle of the night? He frowned, "Can't we go during the day?"

Marinda Qingping put the fragrance, melons and fruits into the basket and covered it with a layer of cloth, "Of course...the more sincere you are, the better."

Eli couldn't understand what the hell he was talking about.

However, Marinda Qingping's first incense was not burned this time.

In the afternoon, the New Year's Eve dinner was prepared and served. Liang Jiaqi also got a bottle of wine and wanted to drink it. However, Marinda Qingping had to burn incense, so he didn't drink. He was just going to serve the bowl. "I'll clink glasses with you over rice."

Eli's is still a cup of Arctic Ocean.

However, the strange thing is that the moment Marinda Qingping picked up the bowl, his hand slipped, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered. At the same time, Eli's hand was empty. The moment he just picked up the cup, the cup fell to pieces. It slipped from my hand and was shattered into pieces. The drink was scattered on the floor.

Marinda Qingping and Eli were both stunned for a moment, looking at their empty hands at a loss.

Liang Jiaqi quickly smiled and said, "Shao Sui is safe, Shao Sui is safe!"

Marinda Qingping gradually calmed down and nodded, "Yes, I'm fine."

But Eli knew that his mother was very anxious.

From the moment he ate, his mother kept looking at the time, even though he said more than once, "Mom, it's still early, it's not dark yet, it's still light!"

But it was no use, he just kept watching.

With such anxiety, he finally stayed up until after nine o'clock in the evening. The Spring Festival Gala on TV was very lively. Marinda Qingping couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and picked up the basket, "I can't wait any longer. Let's go now." ..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, a huge knock, urgent and tight.
