Sister Won't Cry
Chapter 347: Sister Won't Cry
(This chapter is too tiring. The most difficult stage is finally over. PS. Looking for monthly tickets.)
As people grew older, the memories of the past would gradually be forgotten, especially the memories of childhood. As people grew older, they would become less and less clear. However, some memories would become memory fragments and be sealed in the depths of the brain. Only when they returned to a familiar environment would they be able to recall the past. It was believed that many people had such an experience.
When Qin Sheng returned to this place that he was very familiar with in his childhood after more than 20 years, the fragments in the depths of his memory broke out in an instant and began to appear in his mind. The strange place began to become familiar, giving him a sense of déjà vu.
Moreover, when Qin Sheng was taken away from Beijing by the old master, it was the age when children began to remember things. Those memories had been buried deep, and he would not be able to recall them if he tried to force himself to recall them. They would only reappear inadvertently, like now.
Before Qin Ran opened her mouth, Qin Sheng felt that this place was somewhat familiar. When Qin Ran said that this was their home, Qin Sheng became absent-minded and then murmured to himself.
Qin Sheng looked around in confusion. He did not know why he had a headache. There were more and more memories, but they always disappeared in a flash. He wanted to try hard to capture them and then put them together into a complete picture, but he could not, no matter how hard he tried, which made him a little annoyed.
However, Qin Ran did not pay attention to Qin Sheng at this time. She was still staring at that familiar place. Since her mother passed away and her brother moved away, Qin Ran did not know how many times she had been here. Every time, she was alone. Sometimes she would suddenly come in the middle of the night, and sometimes when she was in a bad mood. She would come to stay for a while during festivals or on her mother's birthday.
Because this place was the only memory of their family of four. After leaving this place, there would be nothing left. Therefore, no matter how bad Qin Ran's mood was, she would be very calm every time she came here.
However, every time she came here, she did not know how to face her mother, because she was afraid that her mother would ask her, "Ran Ran, have you found your brother?" She knew that in the past 20 years, her mother must have been very worried about her brother and hoped that their family could reunite as soon as possible. Today, she finally got her wish and did not have any psychological burden anymore.
When Qin Ran came back to her senses, she found that Qin Sheng's eyes were blank and his face was pale. He even frowned and looked like he was in pain. Qin Ran quickly supported him and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Qin Sheng waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Can we go up now?"
Qin Sheng seemed to know that it was because he did not have enough memories that he could not piece them together. He was eager to go up and see the place where he had stayed when he was a child. If it was really the place where he had stayed when he was a child, there would definitely be more memories reappearing. At that time, he would definitely be able to recall those things when he was a child.
"Okay." Qin Ran nodded. Then, she helped Qin Sheng walk to the entrance of the corridor. The others did not follow them. They just waited downstairs. This was the time that belonged to this pair of siblings. It seemed that whether Qin Sheng could remember what had happened when he was young or not would depend on this.
The two of them walked slowly into the corridor. The tungsten lamp, which used to be yellowish, had long been replaced by voice-activated LED lamps. However, other places had not changed at all. Qin Ran led Qin Sheng up the stairs step by step. At the same time, she talked about the things that happened when they were young, such as who lived in this house in the past, who their children were, and what kind of relationship they had with them. Qin Ran especially introduced Qin Sheng's childhood playmates.
Finally, they arrived at the floor where the Qin family lived. There were two households on this floor. Before Qin Ran could say which was their house, Qin Sheng had already subconsciously walked to the house on the left. This was because his past memories had floated in his mind. He knew that behind this rusty metal anti-theft door was the house that Qin Ran had mentioned.
Qin Ran was stunned. She did not know whether Qin Sheng had recalled the things that happened when he was a child or a random guess. However, she hoped that it was the former. Therefore, she could not wait to walk over. Under Qin Sheng's gaze, she slowly opened the two doors with the key. Then, she walked in first and turned on the light.
Although this room had not been lived in for many years, it was still very clean. There was only a slight dusty smell. An old aunt in the community would come over to clean it every week. She was an old friend of her mother's. They used to be very close to each other, like sisters.
As for the furnishings in the room and so on, they were exactly the same as in the past. They had not been touched at all. However, there were all kinds of photos hanging on the wall. They were all photos of their family of four. There were photos of her father, her mother, her brother, and her. Every time she saw these photos, she would smile very happily.
In the past, when she was not sensible, she did not know why her father never came here. She thought that her father was too busy or that he liked the new and got tired of the old. It was not until she became sensible that she understood. Because this was not only a memory that belonged to her, but also a memory that belonged to her father. The reason why her father had moved away was because of the unforeseen event in the past.
She had lost her mother and her brother. Similarly, her father had also lost his wife and son. She could not help but want to come back to take a look. Sometimes, she would even break down and burst into tears. However, her father had never come back because these familiar scenes would also make him break down emotionally. Here were the memories of his wife and son. However, he was a man that many people in Sijiu City looked up to. He did not want to be defeated by his emotions. He could not show any flaws. Only in this way could he bear the burden and move forward without fear of any enemies or setbacks.
Because his name was Qin Changan. He was the man of the Qin Family, the pillar of the Qin Family.
Qin Ran knew that her father had other women outside, and more than one. However, she had never mentioned this matter because her father was a normal man. She could understand. More importantly, it was because no woman had ever stepped into the Qin Family. This was her father's bottom line for her, and it was also his doting love for her.
Sometimes, when she was in a good mood or too busy to come over for a long time, Qin Ran would also come over to take a look. Then, she would sit quietly on the sofa and listen to Li Ronghao's "Old Street". Recalling the things that happened when she was young, a faint smile would appear on her face and she would fall asleep unconsciously.
After Qin Ran came in, she had been thinking about these things all the time. It seemed that she had already forgotten about Qin Sheng, who was following behind her. However, she did not know that when Qin Sheng stepped into the room, he seemed to have become a completely different person. He looked at everything in front of him in a daze. All the memories began to resurface. There were more and more memories in his mind. There were also more and more familiar scenes. It was as if he was replaying an old movie from a long time ago. When he saw the family photo hanging on the wall, Qin Sheng's whole body trembled as if he had been electrocuted. He stared at the woman in the family photo that had turned yellow.
The background of the photo was an old siheyuan. There were a few trees and a lot of flowers and plants in the yard. The season seemed to be summer, because they were all wearing summer clothes. The time should be afternoon, and the sun was not so dazzling. In front of the woman, a little girl was holding a little boy's hand. The two children were smiling very brightly. Next to her stood a handsome man.
The woman was very beautiful. Even in this era of makeup and plastic surgery, she could be said to be a stunning beauty. She was wearing a white dress, and her black hair was tied up casually. The corner of the dress was slightly raised, and her hair was slightly messy but charming. Her cheeks were thin, not fat nor thin, just right. Her high nose bridge was straight to the sky, and her nose was full and well-proportioned. Her eyes were the most beautiful. They were not big or small, but especially lively and charming. The white of her eyes and the black of her eyes were like white paper and black ink. According to physiognomy, such a woman was kind and pure. Moreover, her eyes were crystal clear, making people feel kind and peaceful. She had a pair of curved eyebrows, and the lively eyes were a perfect match, as if they were made in heaven. As for the woman's height, it was obvious that she was not short, because she was wearing high heels and had reached the man's ear.
Any man who saw such a woman would be stunned. Her temperament was a little otherworldly, as if she did not belong to this world, but it was very compatible with this world.
Qin Sheng just stood there and stared at her. He did not know when his eyes started to blur and then became wet. Then, tears overflowed and flowed down to the corner of his mouth and chin. However, he could not stop them, like an open faucet.
Qin Sheng just silently shed tears, without saying or making a sound. He just let the tears flow freely, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Why?
Because Qin Sheng had already recognized who the woman in the photo was. He did not know how many times he had dreamed of that woman, but every time he could only see her blurry appearance. No matter how hard he tried, he could not see her real appearance clearly. He also did not know how many times he had chased after the woman's back in his dreams, and then cried out the word "Mom" heartbreakingly.
Yes, she was the woman in his dreams. She was the woman who would comfort and encourage him every time in his dreams. She was his mother.
"Mom," Qin Sheng finally could not help but blurt out.
Qin Ran did not know when she came back to her senses. She noticed that Qin Sheng stood in front of the family photo in a daze, and then silently shed tears, looking very sad.
Qin Ran was slightly stunned, and then a happy smile appeared on her face, because she knew that Qin Sheng had already recognized the family of four in the photo, and because she knew that Qin Sheng finally remembered those things when he was young.
When she heard Qin Sheng call out the word "Mom," Qin Ran finally could not help but burst into tears instantly. At this moment, it seemed that all these years of waiting were worth it. Everything was worth it.
Qin Sheng stared at the photo and cried. Qin Ran looked at Qin Sheng and cried. Her crying finally made Qin Sheng come back to his senses. Qin Sheng looked at the woman in front of him, and a warm smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Because those memories had been found, those pictures had been pieced together. He finally completely believed that the woman in front of him was his sister. He finally found his long-lost family, and he finally returned to the real home that belonged to him.
Qin Sheng did not wipe away his tears, because they were tears of happiness, because he was no longer an orphan. From now on, his heart would have a harbor, and he would no longer be homeless.
