In the private room of oo0 in the oo Jufu Building, Aunt Ling and Teacher Xia, Xue Cheng is chatting lively, this is a simple gathering before the Chinese New Year, the two families have followed it for many years, it was Xue Cheng and Ling Xiao two bachelors, Teacher Xia later, then Aunt Ling, and then Aunt Ling, and then with the child, and then the child has a child, at this moment, the preserved eggs at this moment can't stop getting under the table and hiding from Ling Zhanchi, Xue Zixu poured water for a while, peeled fruit for a while, peeled peanuts and other logistics work is done quite well, Xue Zixu's husband has always been a quiet scholar, the age is similar to Xue Zimo, but he is already a professor-level figure in a university, after saying hello to Aunt Ling and Ling Zhanchi, there is no extra words, unless you ask about the field that belongs to him, but everyone has already done it to each otherXie Xie didn't mind each other's personalities, usually this kind of party, the old people and children were happy, and Xue Zimo and Gu Xiyan hadn't arrived yet

"You're just a person who can't be idle, so it's hard to retire, so you can rest for decades, and you're not busy," Aunt Ling smiled and patted Teacher Xia's arm

"It's not like you don't know that my temper is really impatient," Teacher Xia said, his brows furrowed

"Zimo has brought you a daughter-in-law, you are still in a hurry," Aunt Ling said, pointing to Ling Zhanchi, who was messing with preserved eggs, "Look at that, I have to hit the wall."

"When did Zhan Chi worry about you, if he wants to get married, he can immediately give you a daughter-in-law, alas," Teacher Xia said halfway through his words, and turned into a sigh, ordinary people can't say it to Xue Cheng, Xue Cheng looks like he doesn't care, he doesn't resonate, and when he meets Aunt Ling today, he wants to talk about it, but he doesn't know where to start

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and good things have to be grinded," Aunt Ling seemed to be able to understand Teacher Xia's feelings very well, and tried her best to comfort her

"How long does this have to be grinded, if you can't give birth, you are not a mother-in-law, it is difficult for a mother-in-law to do it," Teacher Xia couldn't pour out the bitter water in his stomach

"Preserved Dan'er, go and ask Grandma Ling for a red envelope," Ling Zhanchi suddenly gave an order to Preserved Dan'er

"What can the red envelope do?" preserved the egg touched his head ignorantly

"You can't do anything in a red envelope, but the things in the red envelope can do a lot of things, such as you can buy a Transformers or something."

"Grandma Ling, I don't have a red envelope yet," Pidan'er quickly rushed over, and then interrupted the conversation between the two grandmother-level figures

"I'll go see if Zimo has arrived," Ling Zhanchi said and walked out

Ling Zhanchi rushed to the door with a brisk step, and sure enough, it was Gu Xiyan who just looked at the figure outside the screen, and he could only make a mess of the preserved eggs, and looking at the situation, he was still a step too late to stop it

"Why don't you go in when you're here" Ling Zhanchi looked at the petite back

"I want to go to the bathroom first," Gu Xiyan adjusted slightly and turned around

"Zimo" Ling Zhanchi wanted to find safe and sound from that face

"He's still in a meeting, come over a little later," Gu Xiyan explained as she walked in the direction of the bathroom

This is the first time that Ling Zhanchi has seen Gu Xiyan since the hospital, although he is slightly fatter than the last time he met, his expression is obviously not as good as before, and he feels much more restrained and peaceful than before, but in this introverted and peaceful, there is some absent-mindedness

Gu Xiyan walked out of the bathroom and saw Ling Zhanchi leaning on the railing looking at the direction of the door downstairs, Gu Xiyan hesitated for a moment, instinctively she didn't want to make herself unhappy, every time the two of them met a piece, it was always "jingling", in fact, she should have said thank you to Ling Zhanchi, but last time, fortunately, thanks to his help, I thought about it or walked forward

"Thank you last time," Gu Xiyan wanted to say willingly, but for some reason it was in an awkward tone

"What" Ling Zhanchi turned his head to look at Gu Xiyan's "forced" look, and deliberately asked her how she probably felt that she would be saved by this person

"It's the last time I was sent to the hospital, fortunately you sent it in time," Gu Xiyan bit her tongue and "reminded", "He must not be Lei Feng's Gao Fengliangjie, he must be amnesia, or he is deliberately pretending to be stupid."

"Shouldn't it," Ling Zhanchi raised his eyebrows, "I have played with Zimo since I was a child, and I have been like a brother since I was a child," he felt that he was saying something wrong, and the horse's mouth was more like a reminder to himself

Gu Xiyan closed her eyes, pressed her little irritability, and said to this person, I just don't know where it is awkward, he can always say things so unattractively, obviously to thank him, but she was blocked by his sentence "Shouldn't it", so that she didn't know how to continue

"It means that if you change someone else, you may not come to the rescue," Gu Xiyan's question directly turned into doubts about his character

"Isn't there a doctor who saves lives and helps the wounded," Ling Zhanchi still asked rhetorically

Gu Xiyan showed a look of disdain, and sure enough, there was a problem with his character

"Isn't what I said right," Ling Zhanchi looked at his face with "disdain" and asked again, "No matter how capable I am, I can't compete with the doctor for a job."

"It's really narcissistic," Gu Xiyan blurted out as she looked at the "self-proud" look

"Yes, it's okay, I'm self-aware," Ling Zhanchi looked like a fool

Gu Xiyan was speechless, and the words "self-knowledge" unconsciously touched her sensitive nerve again, people are self-aware, aren't they

"Attachment to one thought, trapped in one thought, let go of one thought, all at ease," Ling Zhanchi looked at Gu Xiyan, who had a gloomy expression, and suddenly said

Gu Xiyan suddenly looked up at Ling Zhanchi, what kind of spirit is this guy, you can also sit on the ground and become a Buddha

"Haven't you heard of it," Ling Zhanchi smiled, looking like he didn't have any connotation in front of Gu Xiyan

"What are you talking about, wait for a hurry," Xue Zimo walked into the door and waved at the two of them

"Let's eat more, it's hard to get some meat on this little face," Aunt Ling said, putting vegetables into Gu Xiyan's bowl

"Thank you, Aunt Ling" Listening to Aunt Ling's gentle and kind voice, Gu Xiyan suddenly felt moved, and hurriedly lowered her head to suppress the tears that wanted to come out of her eyes, and busily worked on the dishes in the bowl

"Toast Aunt Ling, I really just care about eating this child," Xia Xiaoqing's voice came

Gu Xiyan put down the dishes and chopsticks, and before he could raise his head, Teacher Xia's voice had been changed to interrogation: "What's wrong with you two?"

"Nothing," Gu Xiyan said in a low voice

"Then how do you look like something is going on, where is the New Year's Eve depressed," Xia Xiaoqing looked at him suspiciously

"Aren't you busy at the end of the year, I said a few words about Xixi, and I probably have a little emotion," Xue Zimo guessed what happened to this girl while rounding the field

"How many times have you said it, kid, doing things with such a big heart, Zimo of the newspaper doesn't care if you don't ask, you don't have to say it, you have to understand a little, not to mention correcting mistakes, it's not right, then you have to take into account the overall situation, and you have to cooperate" I have to say that Xia Xiaoqing's education is very timely every time, sometimes it has been planned for a long time, sometimes it is temporary, and sometimes it is pervasive, but it is more and more unable to control itself, and now even the occasion has no scruples

Xue Zimo was dumbfounded, and wanted to break the siege, but he dug a big hole

"Teacher Xia toasted," Xue Cheng stopped Xia Xiaoqing on the side, and didn't know what Teacher Xia could pull out, since she retired, she was really good with her daughter-in-law, and she wanted Gu Xiyan to change her mind and be a new person

"Aunt Xiaoqing, I respect you," Ling Zhanchi saw Gu Xiyan's face completely collapsed, and quickly stood up, picked up his wine glass, and walked to Xia Xiaoqing, "I wish you more and more youthful and energetic, I cheer to you, you are free."

Aunt Ling gently patted Gu Xiyan's hand, Gu Xiyan looked up and saw a pair of smiling eyes, and the corners of her mouth were curled, and she also smiled

The vignette swept by, the two families were lively and chatting happily, until Ling Zhanchi went to pick up the car, for Aunt Ling's work and rest time, Ling Zhanchi has always "controlled" very well, no matter where he is, as long as he takes his mother out, he will withdraw when he arrives, Gu Xiyan volunteered to help Aunt Ling downstairs

"You kid" Aunt Ling took Gu Xiyan's hand downstairs, "I have suffered and suffered"

Gu Xiyan grabbed Aunt Ling's thin hands tightly and said nothing

"Women, life is qi and blood, sometimes you can't hold it too much, it's not good for your health, you are young and vigorous, sometimes you have to know what to do around the corner, think widely, we are old, we only have grandchildren in our eyes, what is the matter, you can't be as knowledgeable as the old man," Aunt Ling had already felt Gu Xiyan's restraint from those little hands

"I just feel that I don't have anything in my heart, and I'm a little panicked and a little scared," Gu Xiyan didn't know what was going on, it was always easier to confide in front of Aunt Ling

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the old saying also says that there are ten unsatisfactory things in life, but you see that one or two are people, it's not that others are holding you, many times it's just that you can't let go of yourself," Aunt Ling saw Ling Zhanchi's car driving over, "Go up, come out at once, don't catch a cold again"

Ling Zhanchi waited for Aunt Ling to sit down, waved at Gu Xiyan and started to set off, his eyes were looking at the figure in the rear car mirror, getting smaller and smaller, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, when did Gu Xiyan "fall" to the point where he needed to be appeased by everyone

"Don't look at it, just concentrate on driving your car," Aunt Ling said with her eyes closed

"You know this," Ling Zhanchi said with a smug look

"Don't be a joke about this"

"You didn't notice that I'm not joking anymore"

"It's yours, that's yours, it's not yours, you reach out, others don't say, I'll break your hand first"

"Look at what you're doing so seriously, who is going to drive you out for a walk when your hand is broken?"

"Who the hell are you flamboyant," Aunt Ling muttered to herself, her thoughts were turned to more than 30 years ago, when she got home from work in the autumn, she found that Ling Xiao had come home from a business trip in advance, and the chubby local welfare institute said that the pregnant woman was sent to the hospital in the earthquake to save the child, and the adults were gone, Ling Xiao learned the news during the interview, thinking that there were no children under her knees for many years after marriage, so she moved the idea of adoption

Aunt Ling has no objection, who can't let herself have children, that era can not have children is the sin of "family misfortune", since then Aunt Ling is full of joy and a heart on the child, but hope to come with the earthquake, ten years later, Ling Xiao is also walking in the earthquake, a woman who can not have children is gone, her husband is with a child and a half, the life can be imagined, she is living for dignity in this life, and fortunately she has this child

"Mom, when you fall asleep, put the blanket on your body," Ling Zhanchi stopped and picked up the blanket on the back seat and handed it to Aunt Ling

"Hmm" Aunt Ling pulled the blanket on her body, and after Ling Zhanchi's age, she became more and more obedient, and she wanted to live up to the child's filial piety, and sometimes she was also thinking about whether she should tell Ling Zhanchi that he was originally an orphan before she went to find Ling Xiao
