October 17th.

Looking at the days marked on the calendar, Shang Xiaoyu sighed, packed a few simple things and bought a long-distance bus ticket. The destination is a remote town in the city of Ling'an.

As soon as the car dealer Xiao Yu took several breaths of fresh air, she stepped on the stone road with her bag on her back and walked towards a small bungalow in the distance.

"Knock knock—"

The big red double doors, a lion in the middle of each door hung a golden ring, Shang Xiaoyu gently smashed the door with the ring, made a little noise and pushed the door in.

A middle-aged man in a gray knitted sweater was boiling water in the yard, and a little yellow dog next to him saw Shang Xiaoyu barking uncontrollably, the man turned around and his face was full of surprise, and asked, "Why are you back?" ”

"It's not for my dear father's fifty-ninth birthday." Shang Xiaoyu smiled and raised the large bags of chicken, duck, and sauced beef in his hand.

"Oops, the kid is getting bigger." Shang Xiaoyu squatted down and touched the little yellow dog's head, the latter licked her hand in a friendly manner, and she was pleasantly surprised, "He still knows me." ”

"Nonsense, let me be." Shang Pengyang said.

"Yes, yes, you look at your name - boy, this "son is not a fish", I don't know and think we are sisters. Shang Xiaoyu complained.

Shang Pengyang didn't say anything, turned around and entered the house, Shang Xiaoyu knew that he was speechless, so he had to silently shut up and go into the kitchen to plate the ready-made chicken, duck and beef.

There was silence at the dinner table, and occasionally there were a few "wangwang" from the kid, and Shang Xiaoyu threw a piece of meat to it in exchange for a moment of peace. She quietly looked at Shang Pengyang, who was grilled with rice, and hesitated: "That, I went back to the algae area a while ago." ”

Shang Pengyang's chopsticks paused for a moment, and then there was just an "um" sound.

"My mom...... Pretty good. Shang Xiaoyu said, "Shang Xiaofei...... It's good, I'm still a police officer. ”

"Didn't you change your name earlier, Xiao Xiaofei." Shang Pengyang debunked her.

Shang Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not afraid that you won't be used to it." ”

"What's not used to it, it's been so many years." After Shang Pengyang finished speaking, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and went to the living room to tinker with his own things.

Shang Xiaoyu looked at the long fishing rod and asked, "Dad, are you going fishing in the afternoon?" ”

"Hmm." Shang Pengyang replied.

"Cheng, I'll be with you, and we'll learn from each other." Shang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and said proudly.

Shang Pengyang snorted coldly and ignored her, only muttering to himself: I don't know what the bait looks like.

Although Shang Pengyang was extremely disgusted, no matter how Shang Xiaoyu said that his fishing skills had been passed on, after arriving at the fishing ground, Shang Pengyang still had to patiently teach Shang Xiaoyu how to hang bait, hook there, etc., looking at Shang Pengyang's temples white in the sun, Shang Xiaoyu felt like he had returned to the scene ten years ago, when their family of four was happy.

"Dad, do you blame me?" The father and daughter looked at the calm lake, Shang Xiaoyu looked at the rippling water surface blown by the wind, and suddenly asked.

Shang Pengyang also looked at the same lake, smiled, and said, "What kind of stupid thing to say." Fishing should be calm, the angler's heart is not calm, how can the fish be hooked. ”

Shang Xiaoyu turned his face to look at Shang Pengyang, once upon a time he was also a man with a good husband and father, but all this was ruined by her own hands, and the happy life of their family came to an abrupt end ten years ago.

That year, she and Xiao Fei took the high school entrance examination, but Shang Pengyang worked overtime and socialized day and night, Xiao Feng was a full-time wife, so she endured two daughters in adolescence and the critical period of her studies, and now there is a drunken husband who drinks every day when she is not at home, and finally one day the two broke out into their first quarrel.

But since the first quarrel, Shang Pengyang and Xiao Feng have quarreled more and more, and they have become more and more ruthless. Shang Xiaoyu and Shang Xiaofei came home from school every day to greet them with hot dishes and smiling faces, but endless quarrels and indifference.

The final consequence was that the sisters Shang Xiaoyu and Shang Xiaofei failed the high school entrance examination, and to everyone's surprise, they were only admitted to a very ordinary high school, not only in a remote area, but also in terms of teachers.

This result can be regarded as a lesson for Shang Pengyang and Xiao Feng, and the two of them began to restrain their emotions, but in Shang Xiaoyu's opinion, they only changed from arguing openly to arguing secretly, and the husband and wife looked like each other and gradually drifted apart.

In a blink of an eye, it was the critical stage of Shang Xiaoyu and Shang Xiaofei's college entrance examination, Shang Xiaoyu wanted to give his parents a reminder in advance, but he didn't expect to bump into Shang Pengyang that day and accompanied a fashionably dressed woman to go shopping in a shopping mall near the school. The two of them talked and laughed, and they looked very intimate.

Shang Xiaoyu's brain was blank at that time, so he immediately took a photo and put it back in front of Xiao Feng, leaving a sentence: "If you can't get by, you two will divorce, don't affect me and Xiaofei's exam." ”

Originally, it was just hot-headed angry talk, but when Shang Xiaofei called to reprimand her why she persuaded her parents to divorce, she woke up from a big dream and realized what she had done wrong.

Shang Xiaofei cried and insisted on asking her to meet and give her an explanation, Shang Xiaoyu still remembered that it rained heavily that day, she listened to Shang Xiaofei's bad mood and took a taxi and quickly rushed to the street where she said. As soon as I got out of the car, I received a call from Shang Xiaofei again, the rain was heavy and urgent, and Shang Xiaofei couldn't cry and couldn't hear what she was saying at all. She saw her twin sister across the road, wearing the same school uniform and the same ponytail, and a similar figure.

"Xiao Fei!" Shang Xiaoyu shouted at her.

But in the next second, the dazzling headlights and the screeching sound of brakes hit her.

She felt a light and a chill behind her.

The crowd around her was noisy, and she stared at the shopping mall around the corner, but she only saw the back of Shang Xiaofei ruthlessly turning around. She was weak, but she clenched her fists and plunged into the darkness.

It was also because of this car accident that her life changed dramatically.

In the year and a half that she was in a coma in a car accident, Shang Pengyang and Xiao Feng completed their divorce and separation, Shang Xiaofei resolutely chose to follow her mother Xiao Feng back to her mother's hometown to live in the algae area, and changed her name to follow Xiao Feng's surname. Because Shang Xiaofei University could live on campus at the beginning of the semester, Xiao Feng chose to stay in Ling'an City temporarily to take care of the unconscious Shang Xiaoyu, but since Shang Xiaoyu was discharged from the hospital, Xiao Feng didn't stay for a moment to pack up his things and go back to the algae area.

Later, Shang Xiaoyu learned that the cheating partner she thought her father was actually his leader's sister. It was the leader's birthday, and in order to get the promotion quota, Shang Pengyang finally contacted the leader's sister and persuaded her to help him choose a gift that the leader liked, so as to make the leader happy and leave a good impression in front of him.

Shang Xiaoyu didn't know why Shang Pengyang didn't explain this oolong incident that she made a fuss, maybe this was just the failure of their marriage*, and the accumulation of years had already made their marriage relationship useless.

Because of guilt, Shang Xiaoyu chose to stay with her father to take care of him, and in the past six years, she has only secretly returned to the algae area to visit her mother Xiao Feng. The mother and daughter did not have an overnight feud, Xiao Feng naturally would not have any estrangement with his own daughter, but Shang Pengyang had become a forbidden area between the two of them, which could not be said.

Six years have passed, and the divorced couple's life seems to be on the right track, but the sisters Shang Xiaoyu and Xiao Xiaofei have never let go of the past.

In the past six years, Xiao Xiaofei has never visited their father and daughter, and every time Shang Xiaoyu goes to visit Xiao Feng in the algae area, Xiao Xiaofei never gives her a good look.

At the beginning, Shang Xiaoyu was naturally full of resentment towards Xiao Xiaofei, if she hadn't turned around and left at the scene of the car accident six years ago, she would not have been lying in the hospital for more than 500 days and nights because of untimely treatment, and Xiao Xiaofei, who has been a little princess since she was a child, naturally complained that Shang Xiaoyu had ruined the family with her own hands, causing her parents to divorce, and the current family is not happy.

But gradually, Shang Xiaoyu was used to seeing so many people who were on the verge of death, and they almost didn't have time to take a good look at the world, and died in a hurry after saying goodbye to their relatives, which touched her deeply and made her want to cherish her relatives and friends around her.

But Xiao Xiaofei's stinky girl is really a headache, she took the initiative to give her the steps no matter how many times, she refused to come down, she really wanted to grind her patience out.

"What a daze, close the pole!" Shang Pengyang shouted Shang Xiaoyu several times, but she didn't react, and this palm really didn't feel like she was biological.

Shang Xiaoyu grinned in pain as he vigorously withdrew the fishing rod.

Sure enough, it's a big fish!

Dinner is naturally a big fish, it seems that in the days when Shang Xiaoyu is away, Shang Pengyang's cooking skills have really made a qualitative leap again, although it is not as good as Xiao Feng, but it is also a model for men in cooking.

"Knock-" There was a knock on the door.

Shang Xiaoyu stared at Shang Pengyang in surprise, who else would come over at night?

"What am I doing, open the door?" Shang Pengyang called.

"Uh-oh." Shang Xiaoyu took the kid who was gnawing on the bones and opened the door cautiously.

Standing outside the door was obviously a food delivery person, carrying a big box with a big smiling face, and said, "Is it Miss Shang Xiaoyu's house?" ”

"It's me, you're it?"

"It's a cake from a gentleman surnamed Meng." The delivery man handed the cake in his hand to Shang Xiaoyu, "He also said I wish your father a happy birthday." ”

Shang Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile sweetly when he looked at the cake, Shang Pengyang looked at his daughter with a foolish smile, knocked on the table and said, "Hurry up and eat, I don't know that I thought you had a birthday." ”

"Okay, okay, you eat less, and you'll have to eat cake later." Shang Xiaoyu opened the cake on the table and said.

"I've never eaten anything sweet and greasy." Shang Pengyang said disgustedly.

Shang Xiaoyu didn't allow Shang Pengyang to refuse, so he cut a piece and put it in front of him, saying, "This is not good, this is a piece of people's hearts, and it is rude not to eat." ”

"It's not polite, it's rude not to come to the door in person." Shang Pengyang pouted, "If you want to chase my daughter, a cake will send me away?" ”

"Okay, okay, eat cake." Shang Xiaoyu was eager to block his father's mouth, which he couldn't close when he opened the conversation.

Shang Xiaoyu packed a few simple items and clothes before going out, this time he was going to stay at home for one night, Shang Pengyang went to walk the kid after eating, so Shang Xiaoyu took advantage of this time to secretly video call Meng Xuan.

As soon as Meng Xuan came up, he asked, "How is it, is the cake delicious?" ”

"Okay, you're going to have this kind of surprise." Shang Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"There's an even bigger surprise." Meng Xuan's mysterious seller.
