Liu Chao threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray: "Let's go, let's go to Uncle Liu's house to sit down, Aunt Xiong has prepared a lot of delicious food today." ”

"Forget it today, Uncle Liu, I want to stay at home any longer." Luo Ping is not interested in anything now, and he just wants to stay at home quietly alone.

Liu Chao knew that his mood was not stable now, after all, no one would come out of his sadness quickly after fifteen years. However, the more Luo Ping is like this, the more he has to take him out of his grief as soon as possible.

"Don't be stuffy at home, the past is over, just like you must find your dad as soon as possible. In fact, I also believe that he is still alive and may not be able to come back to see us for some reason. ”

Liu Chao's words gave Luo Ping a lot of motivation, and when he looked up at him, his eyes flashed brightly.

"I still have some old photos at home, which will definitely be of interest."

Hearing this, Luo Ping couldn't sit still anymore and left the café with Liu Chao.

Liu Chao's car was a brand-new guide, and he drove steadily all the way, telling Luo Ping some past events related to his parents in a slow and methodical manner.

Luo Ping listened silently, occasionally asking about his young and promising father and gentle and virtuous mother, and the image in his mind gradually became fuller and three-dimensional.

It didn't take long for the Compass to turn into what looked like a new new district. Liu Chao parked the car and led Luo Ping upstairs.

To Luo Ping's surprise, Liu Chao's house was very large, and it was estimated that it could be 1780 square meters. Prices in the capital are frighteningly high, and the market value of such a house is at least several million.

"Uncle Liu's house is so big!" Luo Ping was surprised.

Liu Chao took a pair of slippers from the shoe rack and handed them to Luo Ping, and said with a smile: "Aunt Xiong was laid off more than ten years ago, and she partnered with others to open a cosmetics company, but I didn't expect it to get bigger and bigger later, and now it is also in the market." This house and the car just now are all stained with her, and I guess there is no hope in this life just by my salary. ”

Luo Ping changed his slippers and walked into this spacious and bright room.

The living room is very large, it is estimated that there can be seventy or eighty square meters, the north side is the dining room, the south side is the living room, and there are balconies on both sides. The huge floor-to-ceiling glass allows the light to shine in without hindrance, and it looks very bright.

The interior of the house is also exquisitely decorated, the floor is paved with huge cream-white tiles, and the living room is furnished with a large orange leather sofa that looks very high-end, and it must be very comfortable for people to sit in.

There are many green potted plants in the house, and the placement of various objects is also staggered, giving people a particularly comfortable feeling.

Luo Ping looked at the arrangement in this home and imagined the situation of his own home, and the bridge of his nose was slightly pantothenic.

"If Mom and Dad were still at home, they wouldn't be worse than this, or even more beautiful."

"Come sit down first."

Liu Chao arranged for Luo Ping to sit down on the sofa, and then walked into the kitchen on the side of the dining room, and after a while, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron walked out of the kitchen with a smile.

Luo Ping quickly stood up, and estimated in his heart that this should be Liu Chao's wife.

"Luo Ping, this is Aunt Xiong, she knows that she is coming today, she is very happy, and she has prepared a lot of delicious food." Liu Chao said behind her with a smile.

Luo Ping hurriedly shouted, "Hello, Aunt Xiong." ”

"Good, good."

Xiong Zhen sat down on the sofa next to Luo Ping, grabbed one of his hands, looked at him carefully, nodded with tears in her eyes, and said, "It's really too similar." ”

After that, she wiped her tears from her eyes, and said, "I listen to Uncle Liu about the child." Suffered all these years. ”

Her tears could not be stopped, like pearls with broken threads, kept rolling down.

Luo Ping is emotionally unstable now, and he feels a little uncomfortable when he sees her.

Liu Qi took out two pieces of paper from the tissue box and handed them to his wife: "Don't cry, no matter what, Luo Ping is finally back, this is a good thing, you should be happy." ”

Xiong Zhen took the tissue, wiped the corners of her eyes, nodded and kept saying, "Yes, yes, you should be happy, you should be happy." ”

After that, she continued to look at Luo Ping carefully.

"The eyes are like Dad's nose and almost the same as Mom's touch, but they still look as handsome as they did when they were young."

Luo Ping was embarrassed by her, his old face was slightly red, and he suddenly sniffed twice, and said in surprise: "Why is there a mushy smell?" ”

“！” Xiong Zhen exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly ran into the kitchen, only to hear a ping-pong sound from inside, and a strong burnt smell kept wafting out of it.

Luo Ping looked at the kitchen in surprise, and Liu Chao said embarrassedly: "Aunt Xiong has been busy with work in the past few years, and when she got into the kitchen, there were relatively few nannies and asked her to go back on vacation. ”

Luo Ping shook his head with a smile and asked a little strangely, "Is Uncle Liu at home with Aunt Xiong?"

"Lulu went out early in the morning, but should be back later. By the way, remember Lulu? ”

Liu Chao's Lulu is his and Xiong Zhen's baby daughter, named Liu Lulu, who is eighteen years old this year and is in her third year of high school.

"I don't remember what happened before I was five years old, but now I only think about a small part."

"Hehe, Lulu's girl always likes to play with. After they disappeared, she cried several times to play with her brother. ”

After that, Liu Chao went to the study and took out a few photo albums.

"Look at this is Lulu and these pictures of our time."

Photo: A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young and pretty girl is waving her hands and wearing a short pink skirt, looking very beautiful.

In addition, there are several yellowed old photos, of a boy of four or five years old, holding a girl about three years old, both holding a string of sugar gourds in their hands, smiling.

Looking at these old photos, Luo Ping vaguely remembered some fragments, but they were not very clear, and his impression seemed to be that there was a girl who always liked to follow him.

He flipped through the album casually, and several photos of him and his parents appeared one after another.

Looking at the photos, the warm family of three, Luo Ping was silent, and his heart was full of sadness again.

Liu Chao patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be sad, I believe I will be able to find my father." ”

Luo Ping nodded, and was about to speak, and the sound of someone opening the door with a key came from the security door. Then a beautiful girl in a floral dress walked in with a grin.

Liu Chao happily shouted to her, "Lulu, come and see who is here." ”

The girl walked over, blinking a pair of big conversational eyes, looking at Luo Ping's white face, slightly reddened, and grinning, revealing white and neat teeth.

"It should be Brother Luo Ping, right?"

The girl's voice was very crisp and pleasant, and with her beautiful appearance, Luo Ping was immediately full of affection for her.

He stood up and smiled, "It's me, it's Luo Ping." ”

Liu Lulu walked up to him and looked at him, "Oh, why did you grow so tall, it's not the same as in the photo." ”

"Silly girl, Brother Luo Ping is about to become an adult, of course he can't be like the photo." Xiong Zhen came out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes, and just heard Liu Lulu's words, and immediately laughed.

"But he's only two years older than me, weishenme, he's so much taller than me? Mom must have passed on all her shortcomings to me because of their bad genes. Liu Lulu pouted and looked unhappy.

Luo Ping stood up and found that Liu Lulu was really short, only about 1.6 meters tall, standing with him, and the top of his head couldn't reach his chin.

Liu Chao's height is okay, about 1.7 meters tall, Xiong Zhen is also the same height as Liu Lulu, but Luo Ping didn't pay attention to it just now, but now after a closer look, he found that their mother and daughter are very similar in many places.

Xiong Zhen couldn't cry and laughed, and hurriedly beckoned Luo Ping and Liu Chao to dinner.

If it is really like Liu Chao's table today, there are really a lot of dishes prepared, and a dozen or so dishes are full of dishes, and a large table is placed locally.

However, the taste of the dish is really not good like Liu Chao.

"Look at the skinny and eat more!" Xiong Zhen enthusiastically sandwiched the dishes into Luo Ping's bowl.

Liu Chao and Liu Lulu, who were sitting on the other side, looked at each other, pursed their lips and laughed together.

"Let's laugh and eat everything quickly, and when the food is cold, it won't taste good."

Xiong Zhen saw that there were enough dishes in Luo Ping's bowl, and he was ready to put some dishes for his baby daughter, who knew that Liu Lulu picked up the bowl with a smile and put it to his side: "I lose weight, don't clip it for me." ”

"Seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls lose weight and eat more to grow their bodies, do you know?"

"Got it!"

Liu Lulu was holding the bowl and eating the rice one by one, and when she saw the vegetables piled up in Luo Ping's bowl like a mountain, she couldn't help laughing, Zuihou couldn't help it, she was lying on the table, covering her mouth, laughing, and her thin shoulders shrugged one by one, and endured it very hard.

Xiong Zhen reached out and patted her shoulder lightly, scolding with a smile: "It's all about making trouble." ”

But after she tasted a bite of the dish herself, her face suddenly froze, and her expression changed.

Luo Ping smiled and ate it in a big gulp. For the dishes he came to Xiong Zhen to stir-fry, although the taste is a little worse, it is no less than the delicacies of the mountains and seas compared to the things he has eaten before.

Although their lives have improved a little in the past two years, he and Xu Ting, including Lao Cao, have always maintained the good habit of being diligent and thrifty, neither wasting food nor disliking the taste of food.

It didn't take long for Luo Ping to sweep away the mountains of food in the bowl, and then went to fill a bowl of rice in Liu Lulu's surprised gaze.

"Brother Luo Ping, is my mother's cooking delicious?"

Luo Ping smiled and nodded, "The food made by Aunt Xiong is very delicious, and it is very good for my appetite." ”

After that, he continued to whirlwind the clouds, and quickly wiped out the bowl of white rice under the surprised gazes of several people.

Liu Chao and Xiong Zhen glanced at each other, thinking that Luo Ping was like this because his usual life was too poor, and the two of them looked at Luo Ping, and there was even more pity in their eyes.
