Chapter 459: Dad, I'm Back!
It took almost an hour to prepare, and when he came to the gate of the Penghu Bay Community, Liu Chen also specially bought two bottles of wine and went back, planning to have a good drink with his father tonight.
Liu Chen had been to the Penghu Bay Community many times before, but he only looked at the lights and figures in the room on the 5th floor of Building 23 from a distance, and even though he had all kinds of impulses, he never entered the house and brought danger to his family.
This is the first time in a long time that he has walked into the Penghu Bay community with a sense of ease and even a little surprise, close to the 23 buildings and close to his family.
Li Rongfei held the cake in his hand, Liu Chen held Li Rongfei in one hand, and carried gifts and wine in the other, after stopping at the bottom of Building 23, he saw that the house was brightly lit and the kitchen was steaming, and he stepped in with excitement.
Soon I came to the 5th floor, close to the door, I could vaguely hear the conversations and footsteps inside, and even smell the strong aroma wafting from the kitchen.
When Liu Chen raised his hand and hesitated, Li Rongfei took the first step and stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who?" came the voice of his father Guan Shaoqing in the room, followed by a rush of footsteps.
The door was opened with a click, and Guan Shaoqing's smiling face with doubts poked out of it, and when he saw Li Rongfei and Liu Chen standing at the door, he thought he was dreaming, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked at the two of them in shock, "Xiaofei...... Small...... Xiao Chen???"
Li Rongfei's appearance had already surprised Guan Shaoqing, and Liu Chen's appearance made him feel as if he had entered a dream, he looked at Liu Chen, stayed for half a minute, and the whole person was frozen.
It was Liu Chen who shouted first: "Dad!"
"Uncle!" Li Rongfei also shouted.
Guan Shaoqing was stunned, he pointed at Liu Chen, and then looked at Li Rongfei, "You...... Are you really Xiaochen? I'm not dreaming, are you? Xiaofei, I'm ...... I'm not dreaming???"
Li Rongfei said with a smile: "Uncle, this is not a dream, Liu Chen is back!"
"Back to ...... It's back...... It's back!" Guan Shaoqing's emotions suddenly collapsed, tears stained his eyes red, and his nose was red and he sobbed.
Liu Chen walked up to his father and shouted, "Dad, I'm back!" and then hugged his father's aged body in his arms.
Guan Shaoqing hugged his son tightly after not seeing him for a long time, and the pain and suffering of these days finally disappeared in this hug.
Guan Shaoqing patted Liu Chen on the back, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, come in, come in." ”
Guan Shaoqing welcomed Liu Chen and Li Rongfei into the door and shouted into the house: "Huimei, Xiaomei, come out, see who is coming!!
Lin Huimei took advantage of the gap between stir-frying, leaned over and looked out. After hearing her father's voice, Xiaomei put down the books in her hand, opened the door of the study and went out to have a look.
When they looked at the figures of Li Rongfei and Liu Chen, it seemed as if they had returned to the old days, this scene was very familiar, but is this reality?
The whole family was still in the grief of Liu Chen's accident, and suddenly they were all dumbfounded when they saw Liu Chen standing in front of them alive, as if a broken dream had reappeared in front of them, and they couldn't believe that this would be a reality.
"Aunt Lin, Xiaomei, I'm back!" Liu Chen walked into the room with a smile and greeted Lin Huimei and Xiaomei.
"Brother......" Xiaomei moved slowly, her eyes widened and looked at Liu Chen, the eldest brother she had been missing, finally returned to her life again, and she touched the feeling of being surrounded by love again.
Liu Chen saw the tears in Xiaomei's eyes, delicate and moving, and couldn't help but step forward and reach out to wipe the tears on her face for her, caress her face, restrain the surging emotions in her heart, and said with a smile: "Xiaomei, my brother is back!"
"Brother!" Xiaomei couldn't control her emotions anymore, she turned all her thoughts and sorrows over the past few days into tears, she threw herself into her brother's arms, not caring at all that there was still her sister-in-law Li Rongfei standing beside her.
Liu Chen held Xiaomei in his arms, and he felt Xiaomei's hot tears penetrate his clothes, seep into his skin, and even dissolve into his own blood. This kind of warm emotion closely connects the two brothers and sisters with different surnames, as if at this moment, they are the protagonists in this warm scene.
Lin Huimei came out of the kitchen and saw Liu Chen coming back intact, the two of them hugged each other tightly, this scene was like a dream, and they thought they would never see each other again.
When the two children finished hugging, Lin Huimei walked up, "Xiaochen, is it really you?"
"Aunt Lin, it's me, I'm Liu Chen, I'm not dead, I'm still fine. Liu Chen announced to Aunt Lin, to his father, and to this family that he was back, and he has always been a part of this family.
Although Lin Huimei is not Liu Chen's biological mother, she regards Liu Chen as her own, as her own child and Xiaomei's brother, and when she saw Liu Chen appear in front of her safe and sound today, she couldn't help herself, stepped forward and held Liu Chen's hand, feeling this reality that seemed like a dream.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Lin Huimei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded incessantly.
Guan Shaoqing saw this happy scene, as if he was in a different world, I don't know when the last time the family had such a warm and touching moment, he laughed and burst into tears on the side.
"Come on, come on, eat together, eat together. Guan Shaoqing beckoned everyone to sit down, and said while wiping the table: "Today is Xiaomei's birthday, and Xiaochen is back, it's really a double happiness, haha." ”
Lin Huimei stretched out her hand and waved: "Yes, yes, Xiaochen, Xiaofei, hurry up and sit down, today happens to be Xiaomei's birthday." ”
Li Rongfei picked up the cake and birthday gift that had just been placed on the ground, put it on the table, picked up the gift box, and said to Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, this cake is for you, and these gifts, happy birthday!"
Seeing this, Guan Shaoqing said, "Why do you come back to buy a big cake, and there are gifts, this ...... It's so grandiose ......"
"Xiaomei's birthday must be grand!" Liu Chen took Xiaomei's back, pulled her to the edge of the table, and blessed with a smile: "Xiaomei, happy birthday!"
Li Rongfei handed the gift in her hand to Xiaomei, which was three books and a gift box.
Xiaomei took the three books and couldn't put them down, her favorite thing was to read, gently stroked the cover of the book, the gilded title, and nodded happily: "Thank you, Mr. Li...... Uh, thank you, sister-in-law. ”
Li Rongfei smiled and handed the gift box to Xiaomei, and said with a smile: "Xiaomei, this is a bracelet, see if you like it or not." ”
Xiaomei was full of anticipation and carefully opened the gift box, which turned out to be a string of agate bracelets, dark blue agate is full of a low-key and mysterious color, this is her brother's favorite color, and it is also her favorite color, Xiaomei was fascinated by this bracelet at first sight.
"Xiaomei, do you like it?" Liu Chen asked when he saw Xiaomei's intent.
Xiaomei nodded and shook her head again, "I like it, thank you, brother, but I'm still a student, it doesn't seem appropriate to wear this, and this should be very expensive." ”
Liu Chen touched Xiaomei's head lightly, and said with care: "My Xiaomei is so beautiful, I'm afraid that this bracelet is not worthy of you, you can wear it and try it." ”
Li Rongfei picked up the bracelet in a timely manner and helped Xiaomei wear it on her wrist, Xiaomei's slender and slender hand with this dark blue agate bracelet complemented each other, Xiaomei's temperament improved a lot at once, Li Rongfei looked at it and praised it and said: "Actually, this bracelet is not very good, but Xiaomei's temperament and appearance suddenly improved the light emitted by this bracelet." ”
Li Rongfei is a well-known beauty, and being able to get such high praise in her mouth made Guan Shaoqing and Lin Huimei on the side rarely die, especially Lin Huimei, Xiaomei inherited her temperament and beauty, and her baby daughter is all she has.
Lin Huimei brought all the cooked dishes to the table, Liu Chen opened the birthday cake and put it on the table, before eating, he decided to let Xiaomei make a wish.
Since coming to Jiangxia with her mother, Xiaomei's every birthday, Guan Shaoqing and Lin Huimei will help her, but because life is more difficult, there will rarely be a birthday cake, and there is only a very small one, this time last year, their family of three had a meal at home, this time it was completely different from before, with a brother, a sister-in-law, and a big birthday cake.
Under the birthday song of the whole family, Xiaomei made a wish to the birthday cake of those children in the TV series, clasped her hands on her chest, closed her eyes lightly, and made her birthday wish in the dark space and dancing candles.
Tonight's meal was cooked by Guan Shaoqing and Lin Huimei for Xiaomei, all of which were dishes that Xiaomei likes to eat, but she picks up dishes for her brother Liu Chen from time to time, and for her, her brother's return is her biggest birthday gift. She has always been under the care of her brother, and during that time, she regretted that she had not been able to give her brother enough care, so that she regretted it after losing it, and this time God gave her another chance, and she would definitely grasp it tightly.
But Xiaomei can't favor one over the other, her brother has a girlfriend after all, she also picks up vegetables for Teacher Li next to her brother, and then also picks vegetables for her parents, thanking them for a happy birthday night for themselves.
At the dinner table, the family and Liu Chen had endless conversations, especially Guan Shaoqing, who was separated from his son for more than 20 years, and finally reunited, and separated again before he had time to get along well, so Liu Chen's accident was an unforgettable memory in his life.
"Xiao Chen, this glass of wine daddy respects you, welcome you home!" Guan Shaoqing picked up his wine glass, there were two taels, and his face, which had been flushed with wine, still couldn't hide the excitement and joy.
"Dad, drink slowly......" Before Liu Chen's words fell, Guan Shaoqing grunted a few times and finished all the wine in the cup, this fierce energy, even Liu Chen was a little amazed, I was really afraid that my father would have an accident, after all, the age was there.
