The black asphalt road has not yet had time to be swept away, and the long, wide street is cold and depressed, which is really different from the bustling scene of the Hongfu Hotel.

Two figures, one red and one green, wandered along the side of the road, like vibrant flower bones quietly blooming in the cold.

You can't smell the aroma of the earth here, you can't see the pastoral scenery here, and the gaze of parsley lingers on the rows of large and small shops, and the mind becomes trance-like.

Duan Yongyuan followed Xiangqin out of the hotel, and when he saw her walking along the side of the road, his eyes couldn't stop looking at the closed shops, he felt strange in his heart, so he asked, "Xiangqin, what are you looking at?"

Parsley sighed faintly, and said lightly, "I wonder if I can open a small shop or something by myself when the time comes."

This is her current ideal, but the reality is that her current abilities are limited to roadside stalls.

Duan Yongyuan didn't take it seriously, and only half-truthed: "If you put it aside with Hong Cheng, then you are not the little proprietress of their hotel!"

Xiangqin sneered disapprerovingly, if she had that thought, wouldn't she have put it aside with Hong Cheng earlier?

"No matter how big their hotel is, it's theirs too." She simply wants to be a small boss, there is no need to be rich, prosperous and wealthy, just eat and drink without worrying.

Duan Yongyuan had a strange expression, he had never seen someone who boldly pursued a girl like Xiang Hongcheng, he always felt that such a person was a little shameless, but it was also a little unreachable, and he was a little envious.

He couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you think of Hong Cheng?"

"Reluctantly consider him a friend."

Duan Yongyuan felt that Hong Cheng was a little pitiful. But as soon as he thought of the arrogant Tang Sha, the little sympathy he had for Hong Cheng in his heart disappeared in an instant.

"I don't know what he thinks about you."

Duan Yongyuan has no experience in love, and it is difficult to understand Hong Cheng's throbbing feelings for parsley.

"Who knows what he's thinking." Xiangqin is still relatively realistic, there is too much gap between her and Hong Cheng, "He is in his twenties, and I am not yet sixteen." When I get married, his children will be able to run on the ground. ”

Duan Yongyuan involuntarily nodded yes.

"Parsley—"

Hearing someone shouting behind them, the brother and sister turned around at the same time and saw Hong Cheng running towards him.

Hong Cheng wore a colorful apron, which looked very funny.

Parsley and Duan Yongyuan pursed their lips and snickered for a while.

Today's parsley is different from usual, when I go out, I have carefully groomed a little, and my young and immature face has a little more delicate and charming charm, which is enough to make people's hearts flutter.

Hong Cheng looked at her stupidly, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance in his eyes at this time.

Duan Yongyuan felt uncomfortable, and always felt that Hong Cheng was useless and lost the face of men all over the country. If he met such a lukewarm woman, he wouldn't even pay attention!

"Hong Cheng, do you have a fiancée?" Duan Yongyuan deliberately soured him.

"Who told you? Tang Sha said it herself? Hong Cheng was a little irritable.

I don't know what Tang Sha said in front of people, the people who work in the hotel regard her as the future little proprietress.

Hong Cheng didn't have so many mouths to explain to others, so he let them go.

"What Xiangqin told me, the woman herself didn't deny it." Duan Yongyuan still remembered how proud Tang Sha's expression was at that time.

"There's no such thing, that woman is one of my childhood sweethearts, from elementary school to high school, we have been in the same class. After graduating from high school, we didn't go to university, so we both came to work in the hotel. Hong Cheng honestly explained his relationship with Tang Sha, and he wanted to get rid of her.

When Parsley heard this, she didn't care, "It's very cold outside, let's go back." ”

Hong Cheng grabbed the hand warmer in her hand, "You give me this thing of yours, I'll wash the dishes in the back hall, you see my hands are frozen." ”

Guo Tao was at the door of the hotel, and when he saw the three of them walking up, he eagerly opened the glass door for them. He was unexpectedly enthusiastic about Parsley, "Parsley, I'll take you upstairs to watch TV." The room was much warmer than the outside and in the lobby. ”

Parsley smiled and refused, "No. ”

Guo Tao's eyes swirled on the parsley, the first time he saw the parsley, he had a heart-pounding feeling, and when he saw him again today, he had a strong emotion surging in his heart. As a man, he is well aware of his needs. This is called love at first sight, love at first sight.

Guo Tao clinged to parsley, "On the fifteenth day, I have a friend who got married, and I will lack a female companion, or I will take you over to play that day." ”

Hong Cheng's face changed, and he glanced coldly at Guo Tao, who was like a pug, and as a man, he knew very well what Guo Tao was thinking about Xiangqin.

Hong Cheng didn't feel good in his heart, and he also had an urge to kick Guo Tao into the street.

The two men were also stammering with parsley, and Duan Yongyuan suddenly felt that compared to Guo Tao, Hong Cheng's was not shameful.

He is not experienced in the world, which does not mean that he does not understand Guo Tao's fancy thoughts on parsley. When Hong Cheng looked at the parsley, the look in his eyes made people blush and heartbeat. But Guo Tao's eyes when he looked at parsley would only make people feel faintly disgusting.

Duan Yongyuan deliberately stood between Guo Tao and Parsley, like an old hen protecting a chicken, and eyed Guo Tao, "Our family Xiangqin was busy that day, and I didn't have time to run out to play with you." ”

Xiangqin smiled at Sure Fu, suddenly remembered something, turned her head and asked Hong Cheng, who had a bad face, "Did you give you the shoes made by Erjuan?" ”

"Dajuan brought it to me." Hong Cheng's face softened slightly.

Duan Yongyuan took Parsley up the stairs to the box, and when he looked back, he saw that the two men hadn't followed. But looking at the situation, it should be Hong Cheng who stopped Guo Tao who wanted to keep up.

Hong Cheng was holding the hand warmer of parsley, and there was no kindness on his face, "Guo Tao, let me ask you, what do you mean?" ”

Guo Tao pursed his lips, as if he was disdainful of Hong Cheng, "You have Tang Sha, and there are so many other women, just give me the parsley, anyway, I don't think she has that meaning for you." ”

Hong Cheng didn't laugh angrily, "She doesn't mean that to me, but she has that meaning to you?" ”

"If you don't try, you'll know!"

"When you are a little manager, you don't know how many pounds and taels you have, you'd better be smart for me, if you dare to have ill intentions towards Parsley, I'll kill you in the flood river, believe it or not!" Hong Cheng's expression was calm.

Guo Tao's face became a little pale, he was jealous in his heart, but he said toughly: "How old are you, why can you have bad intentions towards Parsley, so you don't want other men to like her?"

Hong Cheng approached, pulled a hand out of the hand warmer, and patted it lightly on Guo Tao's face, who had no time to retreat. The corners of his mouth were raised, but his eyes were not smiling, "Because I don't like other men like her, understand?" ”

Guo Tao was somewhat afraid of Hong Cheng, he remembered that when Hong Cheng was in junior high school, someone wanted to kidnap him. As a result, Hong Cheng beat the kidnappers so that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he called it "legitimate defense", and he didn't even pay for the medical expenses.

In the box, Xiangqin and Duan Yongyuan were about to come back, and Dou Hai gave one of them a red envelope, "You guys go outside to play first." ”

This red envelope is too hot, Duan Yongyuan didn't want to take it, thinking about it anyway, it's New Year's money, and if you don't take it for nothing, you won't take it.

Duan Wen's face was not good, and he obviously didn't like Dou Hai spitting at the two children, so he said with a calm face: "It's so cold, where do you let them play?" You didn't want them to come along, what did you have to do when you had to take them out? Isn't it eating at home? Come to this place and talk about such a big show! ”

Dou Hai's face was sneering, "The place at home is small, and there are many people, so you can't sit in the house." "The purpose of this meal today is not to criticize him. He immediately turned the conversation away and lectured to Duan Qiuping, who lowered his head, "Qiuping, I didn't say you, you are divorced and came out with your children, if you don't do your father, where else can you go?" Why don't you know how to be grateful! Tell me what you think. ”

Duan Qiuping was silent, burying her head in looking at the fingers rubbing against each other on the table. During this time, she was well maintained, and her fingernails were clean, not even a trace of dirty ash.

Duan Wen glanced at her and sneered.

couldn't wait for the next thing for a long time, and Dou Hai didn't force her to ask, "Qiu Ping, I'll tell you the truth, today's meal is your and our casual meal." ”

"Break up?" Duan Qiuping finally raised her head, and her slightly blessed face was full of dazed expressions.

"Yes, because of your virtue, Li Laosan doesn't want you, and we don't blame him. But you are in Duanjiazhuang, your father and mother can't afford to support you, and they don't want you, what's the matter? ”

Duan Qiuping refuted Dou Hai's words, "Now that my daughter earns money, why can't she support me?" ”

Parsley sneered, "I'm your daughter?" Are you bent on driving me to the Li family, and you still want me to raise you? I call you mother, that's worthy of you. What you and I can't change is the blood relationship, and without this relationship, then we are nothing. ”

Dou Hai was impatient, his face was displeased, and he turned his head to Xiangqin and said, "Don't be angry."

"Hey, you let your uncle and grandfather say it, what he said is what he said. He is the deputy county magistrate, and he has a big face, and what he says, others must listen to him! "Dou Hai wants to control the whole audience, Duan Wen can't see it? There is an official shelf in front of relatives and friends, and it seems that he is very capable!

Dou Hai looked embarrassed, looked at Duan Qiuping, and simply didn't speak.

Xiangqin knocked on the table and successfully attracted Duan Qiuping's attention, "Duan Qiuping, let me tell you, if you don't change your life, don't say that my grandma and my grandfather don't recognize you, and our relationship is over." You don't have the kindness to me, and you still want me to raise you, so you still continue to look forward to pies falling from the sky! ”

Duan Qiuping stretched Tie Qing's face, grinded her teeth fiercely, and pouted in annoyance. R1152
