Chapter 179 Between Water and Clouds (Part 2)

Mei's father was a strong man. He had lost his will to live before, mostly because he didn't want his weak body to drag down his family. But he didn't expect that his two sons would leave them at this moment. Now there are only his wife, daughter-in-law and granddaughter left at home. If he is gone, what will they do? With his willpower up, and with Cuiping's medicine, Mei's father recovered quickly.

His wife and his companion in old age, if one gets better, the other will also get better. After Cuiping's secret care during this period, Mei's father and mother have become much stronger. Compared with people in the same village, their family of four is in the best condition. Cuiping found a time to mention going to Hangzhou to join Mei Ruohong again. Mei's father was silent for a while and nodded in agreement.

The clothes Cuiping prepared for several people looked tattered on the outside, but they were actually very warm. She also asked them to dress a little dirty before setting off for Hangzhou. Along the way, she opened her spiritual sense and took Hua'er and the two elders to avoid people. Sometimes it was really difficult to take a detour. If they met someone with bad intentions, she would help Mei's father knock the other person out.

The road was not easy to walk at that time. They had to climb mountains and wade through rivers. Cuiping had to take care of the health of three people. If anyone was sick, they had to find a place to recuperate. It took them half a year to reach Hangzhou. They encountered heavy rain and blizzards along the way. The original owner was an ordinary girl who could do nothing but work, and she couldn't show all her wisdom all at once. Therefore, the trip to Hangzhou was very difficult.

When they arrived in Hangzhou, they circled the West Lake several times and didn't even see the shadow of Shuiyunjian. Cuiping took Mei Ruohong's letter and pretended to be anxious and asked people everywhere. Later, two students passing by said that they had seen Shuiyunjian and helped them point the way.

Mei's father and mother thought that "Shuiyunjian" should be a kind of wealthy courtyard, but it turned out to be an ordinary small house, not even as good as the house at home! They had worked all their lives, and they could tell at a glance that the house was not strong enough. It was afraid that it would leak when it rained. The fence in the yard was crooked, and the two chickens in the house were running around hungry. They looked at each other and were a little worried. It seemed that their son had not been as successful as they thought for so many years!

At this time, a burst of laughter broke out in the house, both men and women. A woman in a dress with curly hair came out, and she seemed to be washing vegetables.

Wang Zixuan was holding a vegetable basin in her hand. As soon as she went out, she saw four people standing at the door. Her first reaction was that they were beggars, but looking at their expressions, they didn't look like beggars, so she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Seeing such a glamorous woman, Mei's father and mother pulled their clothes a little stiffly. They hadn't eaten for a whole day, and they were dirty. The contrast with Wang Zixuan was too obvious, and they even doubted whether their son lived here.

Cuiping raised her head and looked at Wang Zixuan inconspicuously. She was very beautiful and fashionable. People couldn't help but get close to her. However, when she thought about her chaotic relationship with men and women and the fact that she didn't even know whose child she got when she got pregnant, she lost all her good impression of her. She saw Hua'er curiously looking at Wang Zixuan, and Cuiping pulled her over to block her sight. She couldn't let her daughter learn bad things.

Seeing that the two elders of the Mei family didn't speak, Cuiping said, "We are Mei Ruohong's family. Is he here?"

Wang Zixuan just asked casually, but she didn't expect that they were really looking for someone. Seeing that they claimed to be Mei Ruohong's family, she was stunned. Mei Ruohong never mentioned his family. They all thought that he was an orphan or his parents died early. Now suddenly, several family members who were obviously not doing well appeared. What was going on?

Wang Zixuan turned around and walked a few steps quickly, lifted the curtain and shouted inside: "Ruohong! Ruohong! There are a few people outside who say they are your family members, come out and take a look."

The people from Zuima Painting Society were all in the room, studying the techniques of Wang Zixuan's portrait. When Wang Zixuan shouted, Mei Ruohong reflexively replied: "How is it possible? Maybe I found the wrong person?"

Wang Zimo pushed his glasses and said: "Let's go and take a look first. If it's just anyone, Zixuan won't call you."

Zhong Shuqi has always admired Wang Zixuan, and hurriedly pushed Mei Ruohong out, "Go quickly! How can you let the beautiful Wang wait for so long? No matter who it is, they have found you. Let's see who it is first."

Mei Ruohong went out, complaining that his inspiration was interrupted. When he looked up, he first saw the most conspicuous Cuiping, and his face suddenly became pale. Is this Cuiping? How could she appear? How could she appear? All the memories that he had suppressed deep in his mind suddenly came out, making him panic. He just stared at Cuiping blankly.

Mei's mother excitedly stepped forward and shouted: "Ruohong! Mom finally found you!"

Mei Ruohong was awakened by her crying. He looked at his mother with gray hair in shock, and then turned to look at his father. He couldn't understand why they had become so old. He asked in surprise: "Dad! Mom! What happened to you? How did you become like this? Where are your brothers?"

Several people came over. Mei's father patted his shoulders with trembling hands, and Mei's mother was already crying. Cuiping had to pretend to wipe away her tears and said: "Ruohong, there was a flood at home, all the fields were flooded, and many people died. The eldest brother and the younger sister died of an acute illness. The second and third brothers left their hometown and didn't know where they went when they saw that there was no livelihood at home. We really couldn't live at home, so we had to come to you and cause you trouble."

The people of the Drunken Horse Painting Club stood in the courtyard and looked at each other. Wang Zixuan keenly realized that Cuiping who was talking was their backbone and had a close relationship with Mei Ruohong. She frowned and looked at Mei Ruohong, who was so handsome and unrestrained, but there was nothing incompatible with Cuiping's dirty look, and then she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

When Mei Ruohong heard about the great changes in the family, he yelled angrily: "The second and third brothers actually left my parents behind. How could they be so cruel! If they left in such a difficult time, wouldn't they just want my parents to die? They It’s too much! If I see them again, I must make them look good!”

Hua'er was startled by him and hurriedly hid behind Cuiping. Mei's mother calmed down at this moment, and when she saw this, she took Hua'er's hand and said, "Ruohong, this is your daughter. Cuiping was already two months pregnant when you left home. It's just that None of us found out about it until she fainted in the field. Hua'er is nine years old, but her family is having a hard time and she is thin and small." She wiped her tears again.

Mei Ruohong looked at the little man in front of him. He was so thin that he seemed to be blown away by the wind. He was looking up at him, trying not to cry. He said blankly: "Hua'er? My daughter?"

Cuiping glanced at the dumbfounded expressions of everyone at the Drunken Horse Painting Club and said softly: "Hua'er, call me daddy!"

"Dad!" Hua'er threw herself into Mei Ruohong's arms, tears streaming down her face, and cried, "Dad, we finally found you. We had such a hard time looking for you!"

Mei Ruohong was so shocked that she could only hug Hua'er tightly. Wang Zixuan's hand holding the vegetable basin was so hard that it turned white. Looking at the scene of a loving father and a filial daughter, she recalled in her mind Mei Ruohong's gentle eyes when he was painting her.

Mei's father coughed a few times, and Cuiping said quickly: "Ruohong, let dad and mom go in and have a rest. This journey has been too hard. Dad had a cold a few days ago and he hasn't recovered yet."

Wang Zimo reacted and called everyone into the house to put away all the painting supplies. He smiled and said: "Ruohong, it's a good thing for the family to reunite. Let uncle and aunt enter the house first. We can talk about the rest later."

Zhong Shuqi glanced at Wang Zixuan and felt happy. Normally, Zixuan would not even look at him when Mei Ruohong was around. Now that Mei Ruohong is as big as a child, she can no longer compete with him. Thinking of this, I also enthusiastically helped to clean up the house.

Everyone entered the room and sat down one after another. Hua'er's stomach rang. Seeing Mei Ruohong looking at her, she said sheepishly: "Dad, we haven't eaten for a day. Do you have food here?"

Wang Zixuan still held the vegetable basin in her hand. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Look, I've forgotten about eating. Just wait, I'll go stir-fry right away."

Seeing her acting like a hostess, Mei's mother frowned slightly and asked, "Ruohong, who is this?"

Mei Ruohong hesitated and said, "We are all from the same painting group, and she is Zimo's sister."

Cuiping stood up and said with a smile: "Miss Wang, my parents and Hua'er are very hungry. We need to eat porridge to nourish our stomachs before we can eat vegetables." She turned to look at Mei Ruohong, "Ruohong, Where is the rice at home? Let me do it."

Wang Zixuan suddenly became embarrassed. In fact, she was a young lady from a big family, and later married into a big family and became a mistress. She didn't know how to do these things. Later, she fell in love with Mei Ruohong and learned to cook a few dishes. She really didn't know much about these things. .

The others didn't think much about it, but there were so many people crowded in the hut that they felt uncomfortable. Wang Zimo said: "Ruohong, your family has just arrived today. They must have a lot to say. Let's go back first. Don't worry about the painting meeting. I'll give you a few days off." In fact, it doesn't matter whether you have a holiday or not. Yes, they were just getting together to have fun.

Mei Ruohong turned around and glanced at Wang Zixuan, meeting her eyes. He quickly lowered his head and responded casually. Cuiping stood up and took them to the entrance of the hospital, and said politely: "You are all Ruohong's good friends, right? He is usually careless and must have caused you a lot of trouble. Thank you for taking care of him. Mom and dad are too tired today. It’s not convenient to greet everyone. I’ll cook a table of our hometown dishes for you to eat some other time.”

They didn't expect a village woman from Cuiping to be so down-to-earth and free from stage fright. They were polite to her and happily expressed that they were looking forward to the dishes from Ruohong's hometown before they left on their bicycles. Wang Zixuan kept his head lowered and did not look at her, wondering what he was thinking.

Cuiping boiled hot water and asked everyone to wash up first, then cooked some porridge, and cooked a meal for Mei Ruohong alone. Mei's mother held Mei Ruohong's hand and talked about what happened at home over the years. When she saw Cuiping's busy figure, she sighed: "Son, you really have a good wife. If it weren't for Cuiping, My parents will never see you again!"
