"Uncle Xi, why don't I cook for you!" Luo Ping greeted him with a smile.

"Yo, Xiao Luo, do you know how to cook?" Xi Wangda said in surprise.

"Hehe, how can you live alone these years, and you can't cook. Today, I'll show you a little bit and let you open your eyes to your senior sister. ”

Xi Mengxue smiled behind him, and said happily, "Dad, you just let him show his hand and see how his level is." ”

"Then how can it work, Xiao Luo finally came to our house for a meal, how can he let him into the kitchen." Xi Wangda didn't let Luo Ping into the kitchen even if he was killed, and pushed him to sit down on the sofa.

"Xiaoxue, you sit with Xiao Luo for a while." Xi Wangda asked Xi Mengxue to make tea for Luo Ping, brought him cigarettes, and greeted him warmly.

"Xiexie", Luo Ping leaned over to take the tea and said with a smile, "Since Uncle Xi doesn't worry about letting me cook, then wait for next time, next time you go to me, I'll cook a few dishes for you to taste." ”

Xi Wangda walked into the kitchen with a smile, Xi Mengxue sat down opposite him, and said with a smile, "You are very good, you can make rice, you are much better than me, I can only fry one dish." ”

"Is it scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"

Xi Mengxue said, "How do you know?" ”

"Haha, I guess." Luo Ping daxiao.

Xi Mengxue paused for a moment, understood that Luo Ping was teasing herself, and laughed happily.

Luo Ping leaned back on the sofa and looked around the furnishings in the room.

As the director of the municipal museum, Xi Wangda's home is only more than 80 square meters, and the furniture is relatively old, the only thing that looks a little more fashionable is a piano near the balcony, but the paint on the countertop is also slightly mottled.

Xi Mengxue saw that he was looking at the furnishings at home, and said embarrassedly, "Dad is more nostalgic, since Mom left, the furniture at home has not been changed, and even the position has not been moved, does it look rustic?" ”

Luo Ping shook his head, "No, I like this kind of home, it makes people feel very warm." ”

Xi Mengxue pursed her lips and smiled, "Are you living in the school dormitory now?" ”

"No, I help a teacher look after the house, and I live there all the time during the summer vacation. But the teacher will be back soon, and I'm going to rent a house outside. Luo Ping took a sip of water, "By the way, senior sister, you have been in Jiang University for four years, and you must be much more familiar with the environment around the school than me, is there a suitable place to introduce me?" I'm not very demanding, just a very popular community like yours. ”

Xi Mengxue pondered for a moment, "I can't say this now, I've been living in the dormitory for four years in college." However, I have a few classmates who are still in graduate school, and they seem to have rented a house outside, so I'll tell you when I ask them. ”

Luo Ping nodded, chatted with her for a while about interesting things in school, and Xi Wangda walked out of the kitchen with a plate of vegetables with a smile.

"Let's eat."

Luo Ping hurriedly walked over and put the dishes and chopsticks with Xi Mengxue.

After Xi Wangda brought out all the dishes, he took off his apron and took a bottle of Moutai from the wine cabinet with a smile.

"Hehe, I've been putting this bottle of wine for several years, and I haven't had a chance to drink it. Xiao Luo, you can have two drinks with me today. ”

"Uncle Xi, you don't have to be so high-standard, otherwise when I come to beg for food next time, if you don't give me Moutai, I have an opinion." Luo Ping grinned and handed over the wine glass.

"Haha, don't worry, as long as you want to drink, Moutai is enough." Xi Wangda was very happy, not only filled the wine glasses of himself and Luo Ping, but even Xi Mengxue poured her a small half glass of liquor.

"Happy today, Xiaoxue, you can drink some too."

Xi Mengxue nodded meekly, always with a hint of a smile on her face, which was very lovely against the backdrop of the lights.

"Xiao Luo, come, I toast you, thank you for healing my leg, and thank you for catching the tomb robbers."

Luo Ping stood up with his wine glass and said respectfully, "Uncle Xi, don't say that. You rushed to Qingxi in person before you had a leg injury, and this kind of dedication is worth learning from us young people forever. This glass of wine counts as my respect for you. ”

With that, he tilted his head and drained the wine in his glass.

"Okay." Although Xi Wangda looks quite elegant, his wine style is very bold, and he accompanied Luo Ping to drink all the liquor in the wine glass.

Xi Mengxue continued to serve wine to Xi Wangda and Luo Ping, beckoned Luo Ping to eat a few bites of food, then raised her wine glass and said to him sincerely, "Luo Ping, Xiexie you!" ”

Luo Ping waved his hand and said with a smile, "Senior sister, you are too outward, you want to learn from me." Look at me, I haven't seen anything since I came here, I should drink, I should eat, I should brag about it, I should brag about it, just like when I came home. ”

Xi Wangda hahadaxiao, patted the table, and said to Xi Mengxue with a smile, "Xiao Luo is right, Xiao Xue, haven't you always wanted to have a younger brother, I see, just treat Xiao Luo as a younger brother in the future." ”

He turned his head to look at Luo Ping again, "Since Xiaoxue's mother left, this family has never been as lively as it is today." Xiao Luo, if you don't dislike it, you will treat this place as your home in the future, and when you are hungry and tired, come over, just like today, don't treat yourself as an outsider. ”

Luo Ping nodded heavily, and after standing up, he raised his wine glass and said to Xi Mengxue, "Senior sister, after drinking this glass of wine, you are my own sister." ”

Xi Mengxue's cheeks were burning, red and cute, and she stood up and gently touched the wine glass with Luo Ping.

The two of them drank it all in one go.

"Good!" Xi Wangda applauded, his face full of red light, and he looked very happy.

Putting down the wine glass, Luo Ping and Xi Mengxue glanced at each other, and Xi Mengxue lowered her head shyly.

Luo Ping smiled and said to Xi Wangda, "Uncle Xi, my sister is too shy, you see, I'm embarrassed to look at her." ”

"Hehe, Xiaoxue has been introverted since she was a child, and it is easy to suffer when dealing with people. Xiao Luo, in the future, you must help each other and make progress together. ”

The meal was eaten until about eight o'clock in the evening. Xi Wangda resolutely stopped Luo Ping's request to wash the dishes and pushed him and Xi Mengxue to the door.

"It's a nice day today, you go out for a walk and eat ...... By the way, I heard that there is a good movie released recently, and there is a movie theater not far in front of it, so it's not bad for you to go and see the movie. ”

With that, he slammed the door shut.

The light in the old corridor was dim, and Luo Ping looked at Xi Mengxue with a smile, "Sister, why don't we go to the movies?" ”

Xi Mengxue is still wearing a white sè short-sleeved T-shirt with blue sè jeans today, and her hair is tied in a simple ponytail at the back of her head, which looks very green.

Hearing Luo Ping's words, her face turned red, and she said shamefully, "My dad likes to be weird, and you can learn from him." ”

She actually guessed a little bit of her father's mind in her heart, which was nothing more than trying to match her with Luo Ping. Thinking that he had even let himself recognize Luo Ping as his younger brother just now, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful of Xi Wangda in her heart.

Luo Ping smiled and took the lead and walked downstairs. After the two of them walked out of the corridor, they walked slowly in the community, and they didn't make a sound again.

The night has already fallen, and the old people chatting have returned to their homes, and the community that was still lively just now seems a little quieter at this time. However, there are also the sound of TV from each house, as well as the crying of children, adding a touch of life to this slightly empty night.

Luo Ping opened his arms, felt the freshness of the night breeze, and said with a smile, "Senior sister, do you know, I like it here very much. For a long time, I wanted to have a home like this...... The family sat around to eat, and then went out for a walk, chatting with the nearby aunts and uncles, and simply being happy. ”

Xi Mengxue showed a knowing smile on her face, took two quick steps, and walked side by side with Luo Ping.

"Didn't my dad say just now, you can treat this place as your home in the future, and you can come whenever you want."

Luo Ping nodded, knowing that Xi Mengxue was easy to be shy, so he didn't talk about it anymore.

"Senior sister, are you busy with work? Did any leaders make things difficult for you? ”

"Hehe, it's okay, our company is very good, and they take good care of me." Xi Mengxue lifted a strand of hair, and when she talked about work, she talked more, and told Luo Ping some things about what she had seen and heard at work in the past few months.

Luo Ping asked her some more about investment, and before she knew it, the two of them walked out of the community and came to the door of the movie theater.

Luo Ping looked at Xi Mengxue with a wicked smile, "Sister, why don't we go to the movies?" ”

Xi Mengxue was ashamed and was about to refuse, a pair of uncles and aunts came out of the movie theater, and after seeing Xi Mengxue, she walked over with a smile, "Xiaoxue, watching a movie with your boyfriend?" ”

Xi Mengxue was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. Luo Ping said with a smile, "Auntie, did you just watch the movie, is it good?" ”

"It's good, but it's too modern, just right for you young people to see."

"Alright, Xiexie!" Luo Ping thanked them politely and led Xi Mengxue towards the movie theater.

Xi Mengxue hesitated in her heart, and when she looked back, Aunt Liu and her husband next door were still looking at her and Luo Ping, and quickly quickened their pace and kept up with Luo Ping.
