CHAPTER XXXVIII

Liu Shimeng and Zeng sat opposite each other from the painting, smiling.

Especially Zeng Lihua, I enjoyed this sumptuous lunch.

"Mr. Liu, I am really blessed to be able to turn those ingredients into delicious dishes with all the color, flavor and flavor!" He once left the painting and slapped the horse.

Liu Shimeng smiled slightly: "That's it, you are very blessed, and you learned a lot of cooking skills in the restaurant part-time!" ”

"Teacher Liu, amazing, admire below!" Zeng left the painting archway.

"You're welcome, since you have a mouthful, don't be busy patting your ass, hurry up and eat vegetables!" Liu Shimeng blinked and smiled.

"What a sycophant, it's a heartfelt appreciation!" Zeng Lihua quibbled.

"And how do you thank me?" Liu Shimeng's eyes rolled and suddenly asked.

"Except that you can't make a personal promise, you can do anything!"

"Flim Tongue, if you really want to thank me, then give me a Chinese dance, okay? The Qingming Shanghe Tu dance you danced last time was very beautiful! ”

"Qingming Riverside Map?" Zeng Lihua suddenly remembered the scene when Liu Shimeng went to the Grand Theater for the first time, and she was a little excited, and even happy, it turned out that she had always remembered it in her heart.

"Absolutely! Since Mr. Liu wants to see it, I can perform for free! ”

"Haha! That's great! Liu Shimeng looked very happy.

"Haha! Eat fast, eat fast, it's so delicious! Zeng Lihua is still full of praise.

"This is sent by my aunt thousands of miles away, it's really delicious!" Liu Shimeng said.

"My mom likes to make these things, it's a hassle, but it's absolutely delicious, especially with your craftsmanship!"

"Well, stop, you praise me like this, do you want me to cook for you all the time?"

"No, no, there is absolutely no such shameless idea, of course Mr. Liu is willing!"

"Of course not!" Liu Shimeng glared at Zeng Lihua, and the two officially entered the dining state.

In the afternoon sunshine, warm and quiet, Liu Shimeng sat on the sofa with luck and waited for Zeng Lihua's special performance.

Zeng Lihua closed his eyes quietly, although he was a little nervous, but when the classical music sounded, he quickly plunged into it.

The music is melodious and melodious, and Zeng Lihua waved a dancing fan in his hand, swimming in the realm of selflessness.

His every move is like a wisp of sandalwood, and it seems to be a fairy child in a painting.

Although he is a man, his dancing posture is light, his body is soft, and he stands out of the dust, like ink and blue smudged on rice paper, making it impossible to take his eyes off.

Liu Shimeng was fascinated by it, and also devoted herself to the world of Zeng Li's painting and dance, in her impression, painting, dance, poetry, and piano all have a classical literary atmosphere.

After a song, Zeng Lihua came back to his senses from the music and smiled at Liu Shimeng.

"Great! It's really a treat to watch you dance! Liu Shimeng applauded warmly.

"Thanks for the compliment! I'm enjoying dancing too, just like you draw! "I have left the painting.

"Yes! Whether it's dancing or drawing, it's all a treat! Liu Shimeng nodded in agreement.

The afternoon was very quiet, Liu Shimeng and Zeng Lihua fell into a quiet state again, each busy with their own affairs.

Liu Shimeng did not paint in her own room, but moved her easel to the sunny living room.

Zeng Lihua was very knowledgeable, so he didn't bother Liu Shimeng, and continued to read the book "The Kite Runner".

The sound of firecrackers outside was intermittent, but the living room was very quiet, although it was quiet, it did not mean that it was silent and lonely, Liu Shimeng would occasionally look back at Zeng Li's painting, and then touch Lucky's head.

Zeng Lihua read the book for a while, and he would raise his head to look at Liu Shimeng, and even walk over lightly and stand still and watch, and then the two looked at each other and smiled.

Until the ringtone of the mobile phone rang, breaking the silence between the two, Zeng Lihua opened the mobile phone to wake up, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I forgot to pay New Year's greetings to my family, thinking of this, panicked, hurriedly looked at Liu Shimeng apologetically, and hid in the room to answer the phone.

"Hey! Sister, Happy New Year, New Year's greetings to you! "Zeng Lihua is a little weak-hearted.

"If I don't call, won't I remember us?" My sister's high-pitched voice was deafening.

"How can it? I wanted to fight at night and give my parents a New Year's greeting! Zeng Lihua defended.

"There is no sincerity, since you can't remember us, then I will still give you New Year's greetings, I wish my brother a happy New Year, all the best, and I can marry a daughter-in-law soon! In addition, you will be given a red envelope at night! Wait! ”

"Hehe, thank you, sister! I got my heart, as a younger brother, I should send it to you! ”

"Forget it! With this thought, hurry up and call your mother to greet the New Year, just now Dad was talking to you again, although he is always scolding you, in fact, I miss you in my heart! By the way, leave the painting, tell my sister, are you looking for a girlfriend? ”

"Sister, don't talk nonsense, I don't, I'm about to faint after a busy day, how can I have time to find a girlfriend!"

"Who is Liu Shimeng? The girl who answered the phone last time? ”

"Sister, can you gossip? She's my tenant, don't talk nonsense to your parents! ”

"I have a good voice, isn't it beautiful?" My sister didn't pay attention to Zeng Lihua at all.

"By the way, sister, did you take the medicine you sent to your father last time?" Zeng Lihua immediately changed the topic.

"Ahh It's almost gone, you have to send back a few more boxes, it's very easy to use, you don't have to worry! ”

"Well, that sister wishes you a happy new year again, for me and my brother-in-law, and my daughter-in-law will also say it!"

"Okay, hurry up and call your parents!" My sister admonished.

Zeng Lihua put down the phone, his face was full of happy smiles, sometimes far away from home, very lonely, but when he thought of his family, his heart felt very warm.

For a while, he wanted to say goodbye to Qingping and return to his hometown, get married and have children to accompany his parents.

However, at this time, he was really reluctant to Qingping, what tied him in the past was work, and now it seems to be another feeling that binds him, and this feeling makes him reluctant to give up.

After sitting for a while, Zeng Lihua mustered up the courage to call home.

"Mom!" Zeng left the painting road.

"Away from the painting?" The mother's voice was soft and a little happy.

"It's me, the unfilial son who gave New Year's greetings to his mother and father!" Zeng Lihua suddenly felt a little hoarse.

"Away from the painting, are you okay? Have you eaten? What to eat? Mother asked.

"Mom, I've had a great lunch! What about Dad? ”

"Your dad was writing in the back room, and now he's here!"

"Ahh Let's change my dad to pick it up! "Zeng Lihua was a little nervous and a little scared.

"Old man, my son asked you to answer the phone!"

"No, I don't talk to him, the son of unfilial piety, I don't know how to come back for the New Year, do you still let us see him!" Father was there to reprimand.

"Don't talk nonsense, my son will pick you up, don't look for him for the New Year!" Mother said.

"Tell you! I don't want to talk to him, you have to let me tell him! Father shouted.

Zeng Lihua can also see his father's cute and stubborn appearance across the phone.

"Hmmm! Tell you, it was your mother who asked me to pick it up, I took it, you have something to say! ”

"Dad! Happy New Year, New Year's greetings to you! Zeng Lihua said loudly, but his throat was a little itchy.

"I'm not deaf, shout what! Do you still know how to call for New Year's greetings? Why don't you come back and see your mom? She is in very bad health, and they all say that raising children to prevent old age, I don't think raising a child is as good as raising a daughter! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, what's wrong with me? Leave the painting, your dad misses you! ”

"I don't want to!" The father couldn't hide the fatherly love in his heart.

"Dad, I miss you so much, and I know it's wrong!" Zeng Lihua took the initiative to apologize.

"No sincerity! What's wrong? ”

"It's your fault that you don't stop talking!"

"Wrong! Your career is yours, it has nothing to do with me, what you are wrong about now is that you don't get married and have children, Confucius said, unfilial piety has three no queens, if you don't get married now, where will the grandson come from? Your mother and I are over the New Year, and we should have enjoyed the joy of family, but everyone has grandchildren in our hands, and our hands are empty, are you wrong? ”

"I was wrong, I was indeed wrong, it's not good for me to hurry up and find a girlfriend to get married?" Zeng Lihua couldn't cry or laugh.

"In other words, if you don't take action again, our old couple will have to supervise you, and it's best to hold a grandson next year!" Father said over there with his old pedantic white beard.

"Leaving the painting, my mother heard that you seem to have a girlfriend and live together?" Mother snatched the phone.

"Mom, don't listen to my sister's nonsense, there's nothing! But I'll find a girlfriend as soon as possible! By the way, Mom, what you mailed is amazing, it's delicious! I'll send me some next time! Zeng Lihua suddenly remembered Liu Shimeng.

"Yes! Why haven't you heard you say you love food before? ”

"That was before, and now I'm willing to eat it!" Zeng Lihua smiled in his heart.

"Okay, then I'll mail it when the courier arrives!"

"Uh-huh! Mom won't talk to you first, I will send you a red envelope in the evening, I wish you and Dad good health, all the best, and all your wishes come true! ”

When Zeng Lihua walked out of the bedroom again, Liu Shimeng had already returned to the bedroom, and he walked over gently, ready to call Liu Shimeng, but heard a slight sob.

It turned out that when Zeng Lihua picked up the phone, Liu Shimeng also received a strange call.

This strange call was not from someone else, but from Liu Shimeng's biological father.

Liu Shimeng's father's name is Liu Jiang, who used to be a teacher and is now a successful entrepreneur.

Since receiving Lu Mei's call, his heart is like a boat rippling in the middle of the lake, for so many years, he has not forgotten his children for a day, especially the older he gets, the more he misses his children.

Liu Shimeng finally received a call from his father after a few years, and there were countless question marks in his heart since he was a child, and what he wanted to ask most was why he abandoned them.

However, when I really received it, I couldn't ask anything, only anger.

She hated her father, and if he hadn't abandoned them, maybe her mother wouldn't have died, and she wouldn't have lived so many miserable days.
