February 24 of the solar calendar, the Lantern Festival of the lunar calendar.

Originally, the 24th day of February in the solar calendar was an ordinary day, but after being linked to the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, this day became grand.

Throughout the Spring Festival, Hibiscus and Shi Yan spent most of their time in the Shi family compound, originally both of them had time during the Spring Festival, and Shi Yan also said that he would take her to South Africa to see crape myrtle flowers.

But who knows that when I checked on the Internet, the crape myrtle in South Africa only blooms for three months, from October to December every year, and the Spring Festival has entered February of the second year, and the crape myrtle has already bloomed.

In the end, South Africa's plan was in vain, and the hibiscus was originally not interested in losing a child, and later because the family raised a fox spirit and Shi Yan was a little unhappy, so he was not interested in tourism.

The vixen was given to Duoduo a year ago.,It's said that Duoduo likes the vixen very much.,Now it's on a very good relationship with the vixen.,Occasionally go out shopping or something with it.。

Shi Yan seems to like small animals very much, which Hibiscus really didn't find before, but during the Spring Festival, he did show great interest in all kinds of small animals.

Mu Hibiscus originally thought that after sending away the fox spirit, the house would be cleaner, and she could read books and listen to music or something if she had nothing to do, but who knew that Shi Yan didn't plan to do so at all.

As soon as the holiday was over, he drove her to the zoo, let her see all kinds of animals, and asked her what kind of animals she thought were good-looking?

To be honest, she is probably still a little interested in plants, after all, the red flowers and green leaves are also pleasing to the eye and make people feel refreshed.

But she doesn't have any interest in animals, after all, animals are similar to people, they have to be eaten and pulled, and it's okay to keep them in the zoo, but it's definitely not okay to take them home.

In fact, after looking at the whole zoo, she really didn't see which animal was good-looking, but Shi Yan had to ask her which animal she liked, she thought about it and said: "I think the white tiger is very good-looking, and the white fur looks quite novel." ”

Shi Yan was speechless when he heard her words, he wouldn't raise a white tiger at home, right? Besides, the community doesn't provide for it, does it?

So he asked her again, besides the white tiger, what kind of animal did she think was good-looking?

Mu Hibiscus thought for a long time before saying, "The peacock is not bad, it's very good-looking, and I took pictures." ”

It was because of this sentence that Shi Yan actually wanted to raise a peacock for her at home, which scared her half to death, and quickly declared that she didn't like peacocks, she only liked the moment when the peacock opened the screen, and she didn't like it at other times.

Besides, raising peacocks is similar to raising chickens, if you really want to raise peacocks, it is better to raise two chickens, at least you can lay eggs to eat, right?

In the end, of course, the peacock was not bought, and Shi Yan thought about raising parrots for the family, he said that parrots are the smartest birds, and they can also learn to speak, so that she has nothing to do during the day, so she teaches parrots to speak at home, which can be regarded as being a teacher.

She was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and directly stated to him that if she dared to bring a parrot back to the family, she would dare to slaughter the parrot and eat it, anyway, she had never eaten parrot meat when she was so old.

For half a month of the Spring Festival, she and Shi Yan spent time in a dispute over which animal to raise at home, but fortunately, because grandma Liu Qin said that the Spring Festival was a holiday of reunion, let the two of them live in the Shi family compound, so no matter how they argued, they still didn't quarrel openly.

Shi Yan went to work on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and Hibiscus breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that he finally didn't have to worry about raising some kind of small animal at home.

Mu Hibiscus has nothing to do, and these days she is sorting out books and reading some books about architecture at home, because she promised Mu Feng that she will go to work in Shuangmu Company after the Lantern Festival.

Maybe it's because I'm not very busy today, but in the evening, Shi Hongfeng came back unexpectedly, and he got to Shi Yan before and after, which is rare for Shi Hongfeng who has already gone to work.

"Hong Feng, did you go to see Hui Rong this afternoon?" As soon as Mu Hibiscus walked to the corner of the stairs on the second floor, he heard Liu Qin's voice from the living room on the first floor.

Mu Hibiscus immediately stopped, hesitated a little and then turned around and walked upstairs, since Liu Qin was talking to Shi Hongfeng about Bai Huirong at this time, and she was Bai Huirong's plaintiff, it was always bad to go down and hear it.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Bai Zhenshan in Beijing came over, and Shi Hongfeng of course went to see him as a son-in-law, and then together with Bai Zhenshan, he sent New Year's dinner to Bai Huirong and Bai Tingting in the detention center.

Of course, these things were also told to Gu Xue when she came to play at home, and Liu Qin and Shi Hongfeng were afraid that she would be unhappy if she knew it, so they never mentioned Bai Huirong in front of her, let alone Bai Tingting.

Bai Huirong and Bai Tingting's case is about to go to trial, because in the morning, senior brother Huang Ruizhi called/called her, saying that the trial would be held next week, and asked her if the client wanted to appear in court, because her mother-in-law Wu You was sure to appear in court.

Originally, she entrusted this case to her senior brother Huang Ruizhi, and she could not appear in court, but now that she has returned, and she is also in Bincheng, it seems that she can also go to court.

During the day, she didn't have a clear answer to her senior brother, she only said that she had to think about it, after all, she and Shi Yan were husband and wife, and the defendant was Shi Yan's stepmother, so no matter what, this matter still had to be discussed with Shi Yan.

Because Mu Hibiscus didn't want to hear Liu Qin and Shi Hongfeng talk about Bai Huirong, she waited on the third floor until Shi Yan came upstairs to tell her to go down for dinner.

"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, that is, the New Year, I called Hong Yuan and Xinru to come over tomorrow and spend this New Year together," Liu Qin said to everyone at the dinner table.

"Grandma, tomorrow Amu and I probably won't be able to spend the Lantern Festival with everyone at home," Shi Yan looked at Liu Qin in the first seat and said, "Tomorrow the two of us have other things to do." ”

"What's more important than a family reunion?" Shi Hongfeng glanced at his son on the side, frowning slightly: "Since grandma said that the family will be reunited tomorrow, can't the matter of the two of you be postponed to the day after tomorrow?" ”

"No!" Shi Yan replied very affirmatively, looked at his grandmother and said, "I'm very sorry, the two of us have to do this tomorrow." ”

"Shi Yan, you kid, are you getting more and more unseemly now?" Liu Qin was also unhappy, and couldn't help but train her grandson: "Tomorrow our Shi family will have a reunion, not only your aunt and your uncle's family will come, but Zixuan will come with Gu Xue, you two are good, you are actually leaving tomorrow?" Is this decent? ”

Shi Yan didn't make a sound, lowered his head, and said again in a half-loud voice: "Anyway, Amu and I won't be at home tomorrow, so"

"What the hell is going on?" Shi Hongfeng was a little angry, and couldn't help but raise a few decibels and ask his son: "Grandma is over eighty years old, and she has not been in good health recently, how many years can she be with us?" What could be more important than spending the Lantern Festival with grandma? ”

Shi Yan lowered his head and still didn't gnaw, just buried his head in eating, but did not compromise and said that he would go home tomorrow to celebrate the Lantern Festival with everyone.

"Wooden girl, tell me, what are you going to do tomorrow?" Liu Qin saw that Shi Yan didn't speak, so he stared at Mu Hibiscus.

Mu Hibiscus hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Liu Qin and Shi Hongfeng and said, "Tomorrow is the wedding day of my teacher Wu You, and she wants me and Shi Yan to go to her wedding." ”

There was silence at the table, no one spoke anymore, Shi Hongfeng sat down for a while, put down the unfinished meal in his hand, and immediately turned around and walked towards the door.

Liu Qin put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Shi Yan and Mu Hibiscus, half loud, and sighed heavily: "Then you go, this matter is indeed much more important than our family's Lantern Festival." ”

Wu You's wedding was held in the Nanguo Fishing Village in G City, of course, the Nanguo Fishing Village here is not really a fishing village, but just a seafood-based restaurant.

Because Cheng Haoxiang is a southerner, the wedding banquet is set in the evening, and Cheng Haoxiang's son, daughter-in-law and grandson will also come from the north on this day, and it is said that they are also very satisfied with Wu You.

Originally, Shi Yan and Mu Hibiscus could have driven to G City in the afternoon, but because Wu You had no mother's family, and Shi Yan and Mu Hibiscus were her son and daughter-in-law, that is, her mother's family, so the two of them drove over early in the morning.

"I don't know if Lu Dao's mother will like my customized gift for her," Mu Hibiscus still muttered as she got out of the car and picked up the gift in her hand.

"Okay, as long as it's sent by you, Mom will like it," Shi Yan reached out and lifted the bag in her hand as she followed behind her.

"You're not going to give mom the same gift, are you?" Mu Hibiscus glanced at the man next to him, "Could it be that the two of us just gave me this custom-made cross-stitch?" ”

Shi Yan couldn't help laughing when he heard Hibiscus's words, put his hand on her shoulder, and deliberately smiled and quipped: "That's not it, I just think this cross-stitch you customized is very good, besides, it's tacky to give a farewell gift, isn't it?" ”

"Stingy," Hibiscus glared at him, just as the elevator door opened, and the two of them immediately stepped into the elevator.

Wu You and Cheng Haoxiang live in a community, but Cheng Haoxiang's house is bought, while Wu You's house is rented.

Originally, Wu You also wanted to buy a house in this community, but Cheng Haoxiang said that it is enough for us to have a house in this community, besides, we are all so old, what are we doing to buy so many houses?

Wu You was waiting for them at home early in the morning, so as soon as the two of them went upstairs and rang the doorbell, the door immediately opened from the inside, and Wu You greeted the two of them with a happy face.

"Mom, this is the cross-stitch I bought for you," Mu Hibiscus handed the gift box in his hand to Wu You, and said with a little embarrassment: "It's embroidered with a wedding photo synthesized from a photo of you and Uncle Cheng, I hope you will like it." ”

"You kid, you can really imagine it," Wu You's face couldn't help but turn red, opened the gift box, took out the cross-stitch that had been bound with a photo frame, looked at the pattern on it, and immediately liked it.

"Well, I drew this pattern with sand painting," Hibiscus pointed to the pattern on the cross-stitch, "After the painting, I took a picture with my camera, and then I applied the color, and found a large cross-stitch shop, and asked the girl with the best embroiderer in them to make it." ”

"Xie Lu Xie Mu, you are so hearty," Wu You was very satisfied with this long-lasting wedding dress pattern originally drawn by her and Cheng Haoxiang, she really didn't know that Lu Dao Hibiscus was so versatile before.

Mu Hibiscus was praised by Wu You, but he was really embarrassed, and quickly explained: "It is said that I should embroider by myself, but I am stupid, and I have never been a female celebrity, so I don't understand needlework and thread, so I can only ask someone for help." ”

"Yes, that's enough," Wu You said very contentedly: "It's not easy for you to draw such a pattern by yourself, this should be out of print in the world, after all, you painted it with sand paintings." ”

"I don't know what to say about this," Mu Hibiscus scratched his head embarrassedly, and looked at Wu You with some embarrassment: "At that time, I asked the cross-stitch shop to help embroider it, and the bottom map was given to them, as for whether they will keep the bottom and whether they will change their avatars and embroider them for sale in the future, I dare not guarantee it." ”

"Look, I don't have any awareness of intellectual property rights," Wu You glanced at Mu Hibiscus: "This is your patent, you don't know how to keep it?" ”

Hibiscus just laughs, she paints a sand painting, where did she think of patents or something?

Besides, she wouldn't have to apply for a patent for this sand painting, would she? Wouldn't that be too much trouble?

"Mom, I'm not as versatile as Hibiscus," Shi Yan finished speaking when he saw the two of them finish speaking, and then took out a red notebook from his pocket and handed it to Wu You: "This is the real estate certificate of a lakeside villa in the Imperial Garden in the New District of G City, with your name on it, which can be regarded as a little bit of my son's heart." ”

"Stone, are you too lascivious?" Wu You looked at his son, didn't reach out to pick up the red real estate certificate, looked at him guiltily and said: "Stone, Mom doesn't want anything from you, Mom just wants to walk around with you more, Mom left you when you were so young, and I haven't taken care of you all these years, Mom has always felt very guilty in her heart, and I feel sorry for you."

"Mom, everyone's situation is different, not to mention that you didn't have a way at that time, right?" Shi Yan stuffed the real estate certificate in his hand into his mother's hand, and comforted her in a low voice: "Mom, don't think about it so much, my son is now older and has a family, how much do I know about my mother's hardships back then, I never blamed my mother for abandoning me back then, I just hope that my mother can be with us from time to time in the future to make up for the maternal love she owed me back then." ”

Wu You couldn't help but smile when he heard Shi Yan's words, stretched out his hand and pushed Shi Yan and said, "Okay, I want to make up for the mother's love I owe you, and I think that you can't make up for it when you're so old, and you can only compensate for your child in the future."

"Mom, today is your big day, don't talk about anything else." Shi Yan hurriedly snatched Wu You's words, I was really afraid that she would miss the words if she was not careful.

It would be a great pity that he and Hibiscus could not have children in this life, and he didn't plan to let Hibiscus know this regret, because he knew that if Hibiscus knew it, it would be very sad, and even would

He can live without children, but he can't live without hibiscus!

Wu You reacted immediately, so he hurriedly took the real estate certificate sent by Shi Yan, since her son is so hearted, it will not be good for her to shirk it as a mother.

Of course, she wouldn't want this house, she would soon transfer the name to Hibiscus, and this would definitely not allow Shi Yan and Hibiscus to tell them about it, and wait a few years before telling the two of them.

The wedding banquet was held in the evening, and at noon Shi Yan and Mu Hibiscus ate at Wu You's house, Wu You bought the dishes yesterday, so this meal at noon was Shi Yan's kitchen, and the meal was cooked for his mother and wife.

"Originally, I was supposed to cook," Mu Hibiscus said to Wu You apologetically, "But my cooking skills are really terrible, less than one-tenth of Shi Yan's, so he has to come."

Wu You smiled and said to her: "Then you don't want to practice cooking anymore, women, try not to do things in the kitchen, let men cook, I don't know how to cook, your Uncle Cheng's cooking skills are very good, I will wait to eat in the future, at most I will help him do something or something." ”

Mu Hibiscus couldn't help but laugh when she heard her mother-in-law say this, she and Wu You's temperament is really close, and between her and Wu You, it doesn't seem like a mother-in-law relationship, but more like a mother-daughter relationship.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Haoxiang's convoy came over, and at the same time brought Wu You a wedding dress and makeup artist, and at the same time, people from the wedding company also poured into Wu You's rented one-bedroom home.

Although Wu You and Cheng Haoxiang are both married for the second time and are both older, their wedding is not old-fashioned at all, and they still use today's popular Western-style weddings.

"Originally, your mother said that Chinese weddings were used," Cheng Haoxiang said to Shi Yan: "But I thought that when she got married thirty years ago, it was a Chinese-style wedding, and it seemed that it was always a pity for a woman not to wear a wedding dress in her life, so I decided to use a Western-style wedding, how to fulfill her dream of wearing a wedding dress." ”

"Uncle Cheng is very thoughtful," Shi Yan looked at Cheng Haoxiang and said with a little gratitude: "Xie Lu Xie Uncle Cheng brought my mother such a beautiful wedding, and I hope Uncle Cheng can bring my mother happiness." ”

"Don't worry, your mother and I will definitely be happy in this life," Cheng Haoxiang patted Shi Yan's shoulder with his hand, as if assuring: "Because we both have no desires, we just want to live the rest of our lives more excitingly!" Let us have no regrets in our lives! ”

There are no regrets in life, Shi Yan couldn't help but think that he and Mu Hibiscus have been married twice, but none of them have been held yet.

He and Hibiscus, there are enough regrets in this life, shouldn't they make up for her a wedding, so that she will have one less regret in this life?

The hotel where Cheng Haoxiang and Wu You held their wedding was in Nanguo Fishing Village, and Nanguo Fishing Village was nearly five kilometers away from their community, so at four o'clock in the afternoon, the wedding car team set off and drove towards Nanguo Fishing Village.

Shi Yan's car was of course also dressed up as a wedding car for his relatives by the people of the wedding company, and he originally planned to use his own car to make a wedding car for his mother, but Cheng Haoxiang said that the wedding company helped him arrange a special convertible wedding car, so he didn't need his car.

It is indeed a special convertible wedding car, this car is modified, the whole car is surrounded by lilies, only a heart-shaped champagne rose is placed in the front of the car, and in the middle of the champagne rose, is a photo of Cheng Haoxiang and Wu You skiing in Harz.

From the community to the Nanguo Fishing Village, it is five kilometers in a straight line, but because it is a marriage, it is inevitable to go around on the road, so when the wedding car arrives at the Nanguo Fishing Village, it is already about six o'clock in the evening.

Wu You was wearing a white wedding dress. Wearing a thin and transparent white veil on her head, and the makeup on her face is delicate and noble, although she is fifty-eight years old this year, she looks like she is in her early forties at this time.

The bridesmaids supported Wu You with their hands, because the skirt was a little long, and there were three flower girls behind her to help her hold up the skirt, and the hotel door in the southern fishing village had already laid out a 9.9-meter red carpet to welcome the arrival of the bride and groom.

Wu You and Cheng Haoxiang, accompanied by the best man and bridesmaids, stepped on the red carpet and walked towards the gate of the Nanguo Fishing Village, because the lily hall on the left hand side of the gate of the Nanguo Fishing Village had been wrapped up by Cheng Haoxiang.

However, as soon as they reached the door, they met a guest who came out of the hall of Nanguo Fishing Village, and this guest was all too familiar to Wu You.

He is her ex-husband thirty years ago and the father of her only son - Shi Hongfeng!
