Xiaoying married your son? Didn't your son study in Canada?"

"I came back a long time ago, I met Xiaoying in Shanghai four years ago who also works in Shanghai, the two fell in love at first sight, and now the children are almost three years old. ”

"What a coincidence, congratulations on becoming a grandmother!"

"Yes, this thing is a child, I hope he grows up quickly, and I hope he grows up slowly, people are contradictory, and when he is sensible, we will be old. By the way, how is your daughter doing?"

"My daughter just graduated from the health school last year and now works in the same hospital as her mother. By the way, come to my office and sit for a while, I'm tired after a long day of shopping!"

On the way to the office, from Huang Lihua's mouth, he knew that the entire peace flower and bird market in front of him belonged to Hu Jun, five years ago Hu Jun contracted this small gift market that belongs to a corner of Binjiang Park, and spent money to renovate this market into a flower and bird market, Hu Jun, who has liked flowers, birds, insects and fish since he was a child, began to mix in the flower and bird market since he was laid off from the bus system more than 20 years ago, and after selling potted plants for a few years, he partnered with friends from the Garden Bureau to take over several street garden renovation projects of government departments, and since then the business has been out of control, providing flowers to the cooperative wedding company, providing plants for rent to the hotel restaurant, and giving the main road, The park provides flowers in the flower beds, and all the business-related flowers are involved in Hu Jun, Hu Jun's mantra is that people who love flowers must also love life. Junko never thought that the person who planted a yard of flowers in the backyard in the diary really lived his life as gorgeous as flowers, such a person is worthy of admiration and envy.

Come to the edge of the market against the wall and build a two-storey simple small building, here is Hu Jun's office, the office furnishings are very simple, several rows of filing cabinets stand against the wall, desks, office chairs are extremely ordinary style, only a set of boxwood root carved tables and stools in the living room, so that Shunzi's eyes are bright, after polishing and painting the desktop appears a circle of dense annual rings make people feel the indelible trajectory left by time on this tree, a mahogany lacquer tray with a set of purple clay pot tea set, placed on the root carving desktop to appear that the tea set is extremely elegant, four unique shape of the root carving bench according to one side, an antique bookshelf at the entrance with a birdcageA thrush in the birdcage saw the guests jumping up and down excitedly, making a pleasant chirping sound.

Hu Jun welcomed Huang Lihua and Shunzi into the office and sat down, hurriedly boiled water to make tea, and kept chattering in his mouth, good wine when he was young, good tea when he was old, the years are not forgiving, there is a good Hubei famous tea, bitter nectar, you must taste it well, and after a while, the whole room will be filled with bursts of tea fragrance.

"This is the temporary office of my flower and bird market, my company is on Yanjiang Avenue, I have booked a box in the Chutian Pavilion of Yanjiang Avenue in the evening, and I will call Hu Bo and his family later, and everyone will have a meal together in the evening, how many years have we not met, let's catch up together!"

Huang Lihua watched Hu Jun skillfully boil water, clean the tea set, pour the tea leaves, wash the tea, and pour the tea again, a series of steps down to be extremely skillful, after a while, Huang Lihua and Shunzi each picked up a cup of tea fragrant, the white porcelain teacup with attractive tea color, smelled the tea and took a sip gently, bitter nectar tea is as its name, the tea is bitter at the entrance, people can't help frowning, but the sweetness is relatively fast, the tea has not yet entered the throat, and the sweetness has been felt at the root of the tongue, it is indeed a good tea. Huang Lihua looked at Hu Jun while drinking tea, the skinny boy who gave him a music box back then, now he is a pot-bellied, a middle-aged successful businessman, if he hadn't insisted on going to Shanghai to study at university, and stayed in his hometown to become a textile worker, would he form a family with the man in front of him and live a completely different life? If so, what kind of life would it be?

After drinking tea, strolling around the market, in the evening, Huang Lihua and Shunzi came to Chutian Pavilion located on Yanjiang Avenue in Hu Jun's car, but Hu Bo's family of three was waiting for Huang Lihua's arrival in the box early, looking at a plump middle-aged woman sitting at the dining table from a distance, Huang Lihua squinted her eyes and carefully identified it, wanting to find the shadow of the past from the full hair and wrinkled face, Hu Bo saw Huang Lihua who walked into the private room, with the same eyes, the same expression is also observing this young man who grew up together since childhood, but has been separated for more than 30 years, time ticks in the gaze of the two, ticking second by second, Junzi, who was standing on the side, saw a pair of innocent little sisters who went to school together, got out of school, did homework, watched movies, rollerblading, and talked about their hearts at the door of Jihong Middle School through the figures of the two.

I really couldn't believe the imprints that time had left on the two of them, and the two of them hugged each other tightly with tears in their eyes.

"Lihua, why didn't you contact you after so many years?"

"Hu Bo, it's not that I don't want to contact, it's really involuntarily!"

As soon as the two sat down, the conversation box opened all of a sudden,

"Hu Bo, you know, it's not easy for me to go to this university, the day after I registered, I looked for temporary workers everywhere to do, if I didn't do it, there would be no living expenses, my dad didn't give a penny of living expenses except for tuition. As soon as I graduated from college, I started a company with my first husband, I was so busy every day that I didn't even have time to sleep, and I had a child immediately after getting married. ”

"Lihua, I heard that your business is very successful, so why did you get divorced later?"

"Yes, blame me, making money is really like taking drugs, addictive, in the nineties, you know that it was when our country's economy was growing by leaps and bounds, and we were also hitchhiking, and the business was doing well, and soon expanded from a trading company to logistics and real estate. People are like this, when your ideological quality can't keep up with the expansion of your desires, your moral bottom line has been buried in the materialistic and drunken business, making money is the most important thing, as if only money in this world is the only criterion to measure the value of your life. At that time, we were all too strong, and we both wanted to point fingers at each other and make each other obey our orders, and finally one day we found that each other's minds were not on each other, and the marriage that existed in name only came to an end. ”

"Lihua, although divorce is not a big deal, but you should consider forbearance for the child, the child is the most pitiful!"

"Couples with different appearances hurt the children more, I don't regret the divorce, I just regret that I gave up the custody of the children in order to go to the United States, I was disheartened at the time of the divorce, fortunately my sister-in-law had a good relationship with me, she stayed after studying in the United States, she invited me to go to the United States to start over, so I went to the United States, just arrived in the United States everything from scratch, people in their thirties I went back to school, after school to work in a Chinese restaurant, to work for the elderly, to teach Chinese in a community school, time passed like a bullet from boring, and when I came to my senses, how did I become a middle-aged woman。 Hu Bo, you said that I live like a spinning top every day, where should the time be when I pinch my watch all the time, what should I do, where do you say I have time to contact relatives and friends in China. ”

"Ahem, yes, it's not easy for everyone to live, so don't you have a family now?"

"I was going to live alone like this, but I didn't expect to meet a Spanish pen pal in college in the United States four years ago, who proposed to me back then, but for various reasons I didn't agree, I didn't expect to meet this chance encounter and learn that I was single and immediately proposed again, I was very moved, so we got married and settled together in Mackinac City, where he had a job, because he was usually very busy, and this time he didn't come back with me. Don't just talk about me, Hu Bo, tell me how you've been doing all these years?"

"Lihua, you can see that she has a good life over the years. ”

"Brother, what's wrong with me, I'm called fat, you're called slim, let's be each other!"

After saying that, Hu Bo rolled his eyes, shook the whites of his eyes to Hu Jun, the three of them laughed, everyone chatted while drinking the wine poured by the waiter, and the exquisite dishes were placed on the turntable in the center of the table one by one, Huang Lihua sandwiched some dishes to Shunzi, who was sitting on the side and listening to everyone chatting silently, turned around and said to Hu Bo who was sitting on the other side,

"Hu Bo, this is my daughter-in-law, Huang Shunying, do you see it, who does she look like?"

"I just wanted to ask you what is the relationship between her and Teacher Xiao Zeng, if you don't say it, I can't ask, is she Teacher Xiao Zeng's daughter?"

"Yes, Xiaoying is the daughter of Zeng Bixian and Huang Cheng, and now she is also my daughter, it's incredible, my son fell in love with Xiaoying at first sight four years ago, and now their children are almost three years old!"

Junko's face flushed and her head bowed.

"By the way, I heard my brother say that he seemed to have seen Huang Cheng in Wuhan one year, when Huang Cheng seemed to be driving a taxi near the airport in Wuhan, and when my brother wanted to get closer to stop the taxi, he didn't expect to be stopped by a guest in front of him, and then he went to look for it twice in that place, but he didn't see Huang Cheng's shadow. Didn't he come back to Xiaoying once?"

"If something like that happened, how could he be embarrassed to come back!"

Junzi, who had been keeping her head down, heard "something happened like that", and hurriedly looked up at Huang Lihua and asked puzzled,

"Mom, what's wrong?"

The delicate and soft voice came out of Shunzi's mouth, startling the three of them, Hu Bo, Hu Jun, and Huang Lihua all looked at Shunzi in unison, and they didn't know how to explain to Shunzi about the matter between her parents for a while.

"Xiaoying, the matter of your parents is not a sentence, two sentences are finished, I will tell you slowly when I return to the hotel in the evening. ”

"Hmm!"

Junko nodded vigorously!
