Love Letters

Chapter 362 Expired Candy

On the day Xu Mobai went abroad, He Miao went to see him off.

"He apologized to me, but I didn't forgive him."

On the way to the airport, he suddenly spoke lightly.

Hearing this, He Miao was stunned for a moment, then realized who he was talking about.

"Not all apologies have to be accepted, just follow your heart."

He Miao said in a serious tone, with some emotion, "And sending a text message to apologize is too perfunctory for your dad."

As he spoke, He Miao became more and more angry. He took Xu Mobai's hand and comforted him, "Don't forgive him!"

The car drove very fast and arrived at the airport in no time.

"You will come back, right?"

After getting off the car, He Miao asked subconsciously, and suddenly realized what nonsense he had said.

"I mean you still have to start school next year."

She couldn't help but curl her fingers, looking lost and reluctant.

"I'll be back when I'm done with this."

Xu Mobai spoke very calmly, as if he would be back in two days.

He Miao nodded, but something seemed to be blocking his heart, and he said in a muffled voice: "Oh!"

"I'm leaving?"

Xu Mobai waved at her and turned to go to the boarding gate.

He Miao stood there without moving, until his figure gradually went away, then he slowly withdrew his gaze.

The plane slowly took off and disappeared into the clouds.

He Miao raised his eyes and looked towards the unknown sky. Looking at the blue sky, his eyes became inexplicably moist and his nose felt sore, but his mood took a long time to calm down.

A gust of wind blew, bringing with it a little damp and cold, causing He Miao to shiver slightly.

She tightened her coat collar with her hands and quickened her pace.

At the end of the year, He Miao returned to Huaicheng with Zhang Meili and He Dahai.

This time back is different from every time before.

She is now a very promising college student in the village.

The village intelligence station always talks about He Miao.

"I heard that the only child of the He family is studying in a university in a big city and is quite famous."

"I heard that his grades were pretty bad before."

“It seems that as long as you work hard enough, even the worst students can hope to go to college.”

"When I first met Miaomiao, I thought she was very smart and well-behaved!"

In the past, when He Miao saw the village intelligence station, he would take a detour, even if it meant walking several miles more.

But now she can just pick any old lady and chat for a long time.

There are basically only elderly people left behind in the village, and very few children.

This is a whole slow-down village, like an isolated paradise.

It’s only lively during the two days of the New Year, when all the young people and children come back.

He Miao goes home early, and the old people like to look for her, asking her to chat with them every now and then.

There is no winter vacation homework in college, so He Miao can have fun doing whatever he wants.

So she took Zhao Huijuan for a stroll around the village.

Zhao Huijuan has no bad living habits. She loves exercising, socializing, and working in the fields. She has a cheerful personality and no underlying diseases.

Fortunately, this disease is discovered relatively early, and early medication can greatly extend life.

When it reaches a very obvious stage, the average survival rate is only five years without medication.

Because He Dashu always took her to exercise, her condition was much better, both physically and in terms of logical thinking.

Of course, there are occasionally extremely bad situations.

For example, forget to turn off the gas stove, forget everyone, run around but forget the way back...

When facing her, he occasionally showed symptoms of forgetfulness and irritability...

For this reason, He Dashu put his persistence back into practice and became more and more patient in dealing with Zhao Huijuan's problems.

"Huijuan, she has tolerated me all my life. Although she often forgets you, the person she remembers the most is me."

He Dashu was very satisfied looking at Zhao Huijuan, who could eat and sleep, and talk to him when she thought of him.

Zhao Huijuan's condition was sometimes good and sometimes bad, but every time He Miao came back her condition would be much better.

"Miao Miao is here!"

She always mysteriously invited He Miao to go here and there, and she hid food for He Miao everywhere.

There are fruits and candies, some of which are even expired.

"Eat! Miaomiao, eat."

Looking at the handful of colorful candies that Zhao Huijuan handed over, He Miao felt an indescribable complexity in his heart.

However, in front of Zhao Huijuan, she couldn't refuse, so she could only stuff both the good and the bad into her mouth and spit out the bad later.

The days in Huaicheng passed slower than expected, but soon a very important day arrived - Zhang Meili's birthday.

In the past, she was unwilling to live like that and was very, very resistant to it.

This time, it was He Miao who insisted on doing it for her, and it was everyone's help who persuaded her before she agreed.

It was also on this day that He Miao gained a deeper understanding of Zhang Meili.

The night before, He Miao insisted that Zhang Meili must get up late the next morning.

At least wait until she and He Dahai come back and make breakfast before getting up.

Zhang Meili complained that they were too slow, but she still obeyed and did not get up early the next morning.

Even after waking up, she kept her eyes closed, waiting for He Miao to wake her up.

Early in the morning, He Miao and He Dahai went to the county town to buy food and drinks.

After buying everything, He Miao went to the cake shop to pick up the cake that he had ordered in advance.

"I'll probably starve to death by the time you and your daughter finish cooking."

"What unlucky words are you saying so early in the morning?"

He Dahai was a little dissatisfied, "Hasn't the whole family been waiting for me to cook these days?"

After a simple breakfast, He Miao and He Dahai began to prepare for dinner.

Zhang Meili agreed to the meal on one condition, which was that the family could only have a simple meal; she didn't want it to be too grand or troublesome.

He Miao agreed, but he and He Dahai still spent a lot of time preparing the meal.

Zhang Meili watched the father and daughter busying around and couldn't help but complain: "We can't even have such a sumptuous meal during the Chinese New Year."

He Dahai glanced at her when he had time, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the preparations for the New Year, right?"

In the evening, looking at the large table of dishes, Zhang Meili was still very happy.

Although she didn't want to celebrate this birthday at all, she still felt warm in her heart that her husband and daughter cared so much about her.

After dinner, we prepared to eat cake.

He Miao insisted that Zhang Meili wear a birthday hat, make a wish, sing songs, eat cake, and take birthday photos...

Perhaps she was really happy, Zhang Meili drank a lot of wine and was a little drunk.

Her face was red, which was particularly obvious under the warm yellow light.

And she obviously talked more today, although she usually talks a lot too.

But today, she was most talkative when she was drunk.

It was also at this time that He Miao learned a lot about Zhang Meili.
