We took the big bags of fruits and bird's nests back to Xiaoxue, and along the way, Jin Yan didn't let me mention anything, and walked all the way by myself. Such thoughtfulness and delicacy make me feel like I haven't seen it for a long time.

Perhaps only if they have tasted the bitterness of separation, they will cherish the sweetness of reunion, if they have not experienced a complete separation, how can they be inseparable now. No wonder my grandmother always said that it is a good thing for people to suffer a lot when they are young, and if they suffer when they are young, they can be sweet when they are old. I didn't understand it before, but as I got older, I understood the true meaning of these words.

When Jin Yan and I returned to Xiaoxue's house, the punishment wind had already come. Unexpectedly, the eldest sister also came. Jin Yan was also slightly stunned when he saw the eldest sister's hand, because Xing Feng did not say on the phone that the eldest sister was also beside him.

Xiaoxue was busy in the kitchen, I went in to help, she pushed me out, she said, "My kitchen is small, the smell of oil smoke is heavy, don't come in, just wait outside, it'll be fine soon." ”

I walked out, and the little painting shook his head at me, and walked upstairs. I followed Xiaohua upstairs, Xiaohua closed the door and said to me: "Eldest sister is a little weird today, you said that eldest sister is so smart, will she have noticed something a long time ago?" ”

I was slightly stunned in my heart, no wonder when I came in just now, the eldest sister just smiled when she saw me and said a few words, she is not usually a particularly enthusiastic person, so I didn't think much about it. But as soon as Xiaohua reminded me of this, I felt that the atmosphere between her and Xingfeng was indeed a little slight...... Weird.

"After the eldest sister and Xingfeng came, what was Xiaoxue's reaction? What did the eldest sister say? I hurriedly asked.

"Xing Feng looks quite normal, he can be a man, he is always smiling, he came in and said that he heard Jin Yan say that he was here, so he came over to eat together, I haven't eaten Xiaoxue's dishes for a long time. The eldest sister also smiled when she entered the door, and smiled at Xiaoxue and me, without saying much. Xiaoxue was also embarrassed, and went back to the kitchen to work after saying a few words. Soon after they arrived, you came in with your front and back feet. The little painting said.

"I see, let's go down." I thought for a moment, and then walked downstairs with the small painting.

When we went down, Jin Yan was chatting with Xing Feng about the recent stock market matters, and the two of them had a heated discussion. I don't know a lot about economic things, but the eldest sister has been with Xingfeng for so long and knows a lot about the stock market, so she has been participating in heated discussions.

Xiaoxue brought out a plate of dishes and put them on the table, beckoned us and said, "Let's talk while eating, I don't cook any dishes, just a few home-cooked dishes, everyone can eat as much as you like." ”

"Good work, Xiaoxue." Xingfeng said.

"Whatever you say, it's all your own people." Xiaoxue lowered her head and whispered, turned around and went upstairs. I noticed that Xiaoxue came downstairs with her hair tied up, changed into a more formal dress, and held a bottle of fine red wine in her hand.

"I remember that you all like to drink some wine when you eat, and I still have an unopened bottle of red wine here, which has been sitting for many years, so you can try it today." Xiaoxue said.

Xing Feng's eyes were slightly surprised at that time, and he pointed to the bottle of wine and said, "Isn't this bottle of wine still the one I sent on the day you opened?" ”

Xiaoxue smiled immediately, she said: "Yes, it's too expensive, I haven't been willing to drink it, I originally wanted to see if I could wait until Ding Bell grew up and got married, so that he and the bride could have a glass of wine." ”

Everyone laughed, knowing that Xiaoxue was joking. But probably because I know the inside story now, I always feel that there is a different kind of deep meaning in this joke.

"Why do you want to go so far, are you afraid that Ding Bell won't drink when she gets married in the future?" Jin Yan said with a smile and helped open the red wine.

Really good wine can smell the breathtaking aroma of wine the moment it is opened, Xiaoxue brought a red wine glass to everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone try it, don't drive the car today, it's okay to park at my door." It's rare that we've been together, and it's been a long time since we've been together. Last time, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, right? ”

"I won't drink anymore, I'll go to the unit in a while." The eldest sister smiled and said, "You guys drink it, I'll just drink the milk tea made by Xiaoxue." ”

"I don't drink anymore, we've been preparing for pregnancy recently, and it's about to be the Year of the Monkey, I think your eldest sister can give me a little monkey." Xing Feng hurriedly agreed.

Xingfeng's words surprised us all, and with his emotional intelligence, it would have been impossible for him to say such a thing if he had known in advance that Ding Bell was his child. As soon as he said this, several of us were stunned, and our eyes invariably looked at Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue's hand froze there with the wine glass, Xiaoxue's reaction made me very convinced that Ding Bell must be the child of Xingfeng. But how did this happen? It's amazing, too!

"I said I don't want to have any more children, isn't it good to have a child?" The eldest sister put down her chopsticks and said with a slight frown.

Listening to their voices, it seems that there is a big disagreement over the matter of having children. Seeing this, Xing Feng hurriedly smiled and said, "Aren't I joking? Okay, don't be angry, it's a rare pleasure to get together today, right? Violin? ”

"They happened to be here today, and I made my position clear again. I told you when I was pregnant with Xiaoxiao, whether it is a boy or a girl, I will not have any more in the future, and you agreed to this at that time. Why did you change your mind as soon as the two-child policy came out? Unexpectedly, the eldest sister, who has always been peaceful, is particularly resolute in this matter.

The eldest sister once told me that she had never planned to have children, and it was also an accident to be pregnant with Xiaoxiao. The eldest sister is a career-oriented woman, with her own dreams in her heart, she talked to me about her ideals when she chose to work after graduation before, and giving birth to Xiaoxiao is already a compromise to the family.

We all felt a little embarrassed in the audience, and Xing Feng didn't expect that the eldest sister, who has always given him face, was so resolute this time, and she made a big white face, and some couldn't get off the stage.

"You husband and wife should discuss this matter behind closed doors, but don't forget what is the important purpose of asking you to come today." Seeing this, Jin Yan hurriedly interjected.

At this time, the eldest sister's phone rang, and the eldest sister went out to answer the phone and said to us: "You eat slowly, my leader asked me to go back for a meeting, I have to go first." Xiaoxue, it's hard at noon, I'll invite you to dinner another day. ”

After the eldest sister said this, she left in a hurry, and as soon as the eldest sister left, Xing Feng frowned and said: "Because of the second child, your sister lost her temper for the first time, and everything went along with me before, and she didn't agree to this matter." I want to take advantage of Xiaoxiao's young age, wouldn't it be nice to have another one? Sister and brother grew up together, what a beautiful thing, I don't know why your eldest sister just disagrees. ”

We didn't know what to say for a while, at this time, Xiaoxue said leisurely: "Yes, Ding Ding's biggest wish is to hope that one day his father can accompany him to play basketball and attend his parent-teacher conference, but ......"

As soon as Xiaoxue's words came out, Xiaohua couldn't hold back directly and said, "Isn't his father close in front of him?" Isn't it just right that one of you has a ready-made son and the other wants a son? If the contradiction is resolved, there is nothing to worry about. ”

I never expected that Xiaohua would say such brainless words directly, as if he had opened a hornet's nest, and everyone's faces at the scene turned pale. I glared at Xiaohua fiercely and said to her loudly, "What are you talking nonsense? ”

Once the words are spoken, it's too late to take them back. Xiaoxue didn't expect Xiaohua to be exposed in public like this, and looked up at us stupidly, not knowing what to say.

The most shocking thing is naturally the punishment style, as smart as him, he naturally understands the meaning of the words in the small painting. He looked at the small painting in disbelief and muttered, "What did you say?" ”

"I ...... I didn't say anything, so you just let me talk nonsense. Xiaohua quickly covered his mouth, and then realized what he had said.

"Alright...... Nowadays, there is no point in blindly concealing it, there will always be a day when the window paper will be pierced. Xiaoxue, we have been friends for so many years, why don't you tell us, is this true? If it's true, let's all discuss a solution. Jin Yan saw that things had come to this point, so he simply said it openly.

Xingfeng was still in a state of extreme shock, his lips moved, he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, he didn't seem to expect the truth of the matter to be like this.

He looked at Xiaoxue, and his voice suddenly became a little louder: "Xiaoxue, what's the matter?" Didn't you say I didn't touch you that night? How so? How can it be...... Dingdong is my child? ”

Xiaoxue looked up at Xing Feng with a weak heart, and then looked at us, she took a deep breath and slowly sat down in the chair, and after a while, she said: "It's me who was selfish, I didn't think much about anything at that time, I just think that maybe I won't be able to have you in my life, so it's not bad to have a child of yours......"

"What?!" Xing Feng was even more shocked, "Why do I remember that nothing happened?" How could you possibly have my child? Xiaoxue, what exactly did you do to me?! ”

At this point, we were all taken aback. It turned out that it wasn't Xingfeng who took the initiative in the first place, so what was the truth of the matter?

"I'm sorry, but I was going to keep this in my stomach for the rest of my life, and I didn't plan to tell anyone. Ding Dong, you should be my own child, I raised him alone, he has nothing to do with you, and I don't need you to be responsible for the child. Don't ask any more questions, I don't want to say, don't force me, okay? Xiaoxue said as she spoke, two lines of tears running down her cheeks.

No one knows when the eldest sister turned back again, and I don't know how much she listened to this conversation, I inadvertently turned around, and she was already standing at the door in a daze.
