Chapter XVII: New Year's Eve II
The reason why Liu Shimeng wrapped it so carefully must have cherished this painting very much, and after hesitating for a moment, his strong curiosity prompted him to open it layer by layer, and when he saw two paintings, he was stunned.
In the first painting is a very clean and hearty boy, his expression is calm, his eyes are full of bright light, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and he has a happy and resolute smile.
He looked intently at the snow-covered jade dragon snow mountain in the distance, holding a paintbrush in his hand and seemed to be reverie against the distant mountains, he sat in the green grass, his snow-white shirt danced in the wind, it looked exceptionally clean and gentle, and he lifted the pen below:
You are a touch of warm sun on the top of the snowy mountains,
Because of your warmth,
The green grass grows under the mountain,
And that beautiful flower.
They need your warmth,
I need your warmth too.......
.............. Pleasure
Zeng Lihua was stunned, and the feeling of twitching in his heart made him a little sad, who is this boy?
Liu Shimeng actually painted him so vividly, presumably this person is very important to Liu Shimeng.
The other is a staircase full of flowers, which extends from the ground to the top of the clouds, which is very clear at close range, but obscure the farther away.
There are two black butterflies dancing high in the sky, this painting is visually impactful, but there is no reason to give birth to a trace of sadness, the inscription below:
If so,
I imagine the pair of butterflies flying to heaven to be your companion,
I envy Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai
You can't be in the same bed in life, and you can't be in the same hole after death
But I can only live,
Live with love for you
Because you told me to live well......
After reading the two paintings, Zeng Li felt very uncomfortable, and suddenly felt that his face was very cold, and when he stretched out his hand to touch it, he actually hung two lines of tears.
He suddenly envied the boy in the painting, he may no longer be alive, he should at least live in Liu Shimeng's heart, and the person he loves is alive, but there is no longer himself in his heart.
Zeng Lihua wanted to do everything for her, but everything was ruined by the girl she loved, ruining his fragile and sincere love.
Just when Zeng was stunned by the painting, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, he calmed down, re-covered the painting, closed the door and turned off the light, and walked out of the room.
"I'm coming!" Zeng left the painting road.
The person standing outside the door was not a bystander, it was Zhongshan, he was holding two plates of dumplings, smiling.
What Zeng Li sees in Zhongshan's body is always optimistic and generous, and he never cares.
During this period of time, Zeng Lihua ate a lot of white food from Zhongshan.
"Brother Zhongshan!" Zeng left the painting road.
"Happy New Year! Send you dumplings, knowing you won't prepare! Zhongshan said and walked into his room with a smile.
"Happy New Year, Brother Zhongshan, I am so happy to be a neighbor with you, since you moved here, my food is much better, but I always take advantage of you!" Zeng Lihua was a little embarrassed to take the dumplings.
"When you say this, you'll see the outside, let's live left and right, shouldn't we? Besides, I love to do it, and it's not right if you like to eat! "Chungsan-do.
"Brother Zhongshan, come, you sit, I'll go get some food, the cooked food I bought in the supermarket a few days ago, let's drink some!" Zeng Li finished painting and walked towards the refrigerator.
"Cheng, it's the New Year. Let's have a drink with a single stick! Chungsan followed behind him with a big grin.
Zeng Lihua opened the refrigerator, which was filled with almost all of the instant food, and Zhongshan, who saw it, shook his head.
"Okay, brother, don't be busy, let's go to my house to eat, brother will show you two hands, you should put these toys away quickly!" Zhongshan sent all the food back to the refrigerator and pulled Zeng Lihua back to his house with a confused face.
Zhongshan was busy in the kitchen, Zeng Lihua was embarrassed, and he also wanted to help, but he was blasted out of the kitchen by Zhongshan.
At midnight, under the lights, Zeng Lihua and Zhongshan clinked glasses, and the sky was full of fireworks outside, full of colors.
"Brother Zhongshan, thank you for your sumptuous hospitality, I wish you a happy New Year's Eve, a successful career in the new year, a happy love, and good health!" Zeng Lihua said with a smile, I felt lonely just now, but now I have a buddy to accompany me, and I feel warm.
"Okay brother, I accept the blessings, and I also wish you all the best, all the best, all the peace, cheers!" Chungsan-do.
The two clinked glasses, and the wine in the cups fell down.
"Brother, you can't live like this, you don't cherish yourself, even if you are alone, you have to look good, just say eat, the people take food as the sky, food can take the stomach, you have to learn to cook, you have to do it well, do you know what kind of men girls like?" Chungsan smiled, looking mysterious.
"Aren't you good-looking and rich?" Zeng Lihua shook his wine glass and said.
"Wrong, no, I like to hurt people and can cook!" Zhongshan said proudly.
"Haha! I don't know how to cook! So you deserve to be dumped, come to Brother Zhongshan, let's take a sip! Zeng Lihua smiled bitterly.
"It's okay, you don't have a place to do it anyway, catch up with Brother Ming'er to teach you, learn from my brother, and make sure you find your sister smoothly, by the way, tell you, I'm going to do it in a shop, I don't want to work for people, I earn a lot, but buddy likes to tinker with food, and think about doing what you like! What do you say? "Chungsan-do.
"Pan shop, good! Your skills are no worse than those chefs, especially the dish you make, you can't find it in the restaurant, you can use this dish as a signature! I think you're a good fit to open a store, and I support you! ”
Zeng Li nodded and said, he likes to eat the food made by Zhongshan very much, don't look at his five big and three coarse, but the dishes he makes in his hands are absolutely delicious, eating the dishes he makes is enjoyment, and Liu Shimeng's paintings, one is to beautify the eyes, the other is a delicious mouth, which can heal the soul.
"Haha, then you say okay, I'll do it, I'll take a fancy to a store, catch Ming'er to accompany me to take a look, you are a cultural person, you can help me with advice." Chungsan-do.
"I can't talk about giving advice, but it's good to accompany you!" Zeng Lihua said with a smile.
"Okay, then go tomorrow, I'm thinking about opening the store, and I'll take my comrades-in-arms and parents here to help, save them from being bored and depressed every day, you don't know, my comrades-in-arms and his father's craftsman, I have a lot of cooking skills to learn from him, and I will introduce you to Ming'er!" Chungsan-do.
"Brother Zhongshan, you really know how to plan a plate! You've got you covered! Zeng Lihua teased.
"What a calculation, my comrades-in-arms sacrificed for me, I am the only one of them, they can't be idle, they always want to find something to do, isn't this right? Show me the store, it's not good! "Chungsan-do.
"Brother Zhongshan, it's really righteous, let me admire!" Zeng Lihua smiled, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, he was not as good as Zhongshan, although he was not his own father, but he was really filial, and his parents were looking forward to returning to them, but he avoided it for emotional reasons, maybe he should really go back?
Under the spotlight, Liu Shimeng and Lu Mei sat around the dining table, and Liu Tianci brought the last dish with a smile, which was the first time they had gathered together for a warm meal in a long time.
Lu Mei was amiable and served vegetables for the sisters and brothers, with a smile on her face, although her body looked tired, she felt very happy and satisfied when she saw these children, and she was willing to endure as much as she could.
Shen Cheng has not shown up since he disappeared on the day of the accident, and his absence made Liu Shimeng's sister and brother feel comfortable, because their sister and brother really don't like Shen Cheng, and when they see him, they will think of the dark life.
"Mom, I made you and my sister suffer, I will never get into trouble again in the future, I have to study hard, find a good job and be filial to you, and sister!" Liu Tianci looked at Lu Mei distressedly, and his heart was broken when he saw his mother's thin appearance.
"Okay, God, the past is gone, don't mention it in the future, eat a trench and grow wise, but I don't know how much Mengmeng spent for you? Mom, there's still some money, here you go! ”
Lu Meidao knew that Liu Shimeng must have spent a lot of money to rescue Liu Tianci, but she was incompetent and only had a little savings, which made her feel ashamed, she lived a lifetime without saving any wealth for her children, but made them suffer so much because of her incompetence.
"Mom, don't say that, you keep this money for yourself, you don't have to worry about our affairs, this time God is back, tomorrow we will take you to see your body, I always feel that your recent condition is very bad!"
Liu Shimeng sandwiched a piece of meat for Lu Mei.
When Lu Mei heard Liu Shimeng's words, her brows furrowed, and she hurriedly said:
"Look, isn't this part of my body like this? God's gift is back, I'll be fine a little bit, come, Mengmeng, give you food, look at you all thin, it's all bad mother, they all say that they are rich and raise daughters, look at me raising you, it's really hard for you! Lu Mei had tears in her eyes.
"Mom, don't worry, as long as I graduate, I will definitely let you live a good life!" Liu Tianci said resolutely.
He was the only boy in the family, and he was the support of his mother and sister, and he only hated himself for growing too slowly.
"Okay, then my brother has to come on, and my sister can point to you? Mom, shall we move out? I'll rent you another house and divorce him!" ”
"It's not that we are not filial enough, but that he is not worthy of our filial piety, so Mom, I hope you can leave him, leave him Maybe your body will be fine, and I don't know what will happen if you stay up again?" Liu Shimeng said.
"yes, Mom, let's get out of here!" Liu Tianci nodded in agreement.
Lu Mei looked at the two children, she understood the children's intentions, but now she had no choice and no time.
"Mengmeng, God, you are all good children, listen to me, your stepfather is indeed a bastard, but he is not bad, even if there is no kindness, but at least he raised you!"
"To be a man, you have to repay your kindness, although he has changed when he drinks wine, but when he is good, he is good to you, and he is sincere, so please don't abandon him, he has no children and no daughters, so even if you repay his nurturing grace, you can't abandon him, and your brothers and sisters should have a good, happy and peaceful life!"
"Only in this way will my heart be at peace, since Mengmeng has a good job in Qingping, then cherish it, and when the matter is done, go back quickly! God, you have to study hard, find a good job in the future, and never leave your sister, okay? ”
