After calculating the time for Zimo to return home, Xia Lian served the fried vegetables on time and placed them neatly on the table - fried broccoli with fungus, fried coconut with vegetarian noodles, braised pork, chicken nuggets from the colonel, plus a light winter melon soup. Although the amount of dishes per serving is surprisingly small, it is indeed a little extravagant.

Thinking about it carefully, this should be the most sumptuous meal in the past six months, of course, thanks to Qin Yuhuai's blessing. Indeed, from the moment she opened the refrigerator, her heart seemed to be unable to close anymore, and the fresh-keeping box and freezer compartment were full of all kinds of fresh food, and she also filled her heart together.

His eyes swept over the position of the refrigerator again, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly in sneering - he couldn't complain that Qin Yuhuai seemed to be frivolous, it turned out that he was still cheap today, and he was easily bought with just a little favor, forgetting that human ethics, benevolence, righteousness and morality. The tooth shell bit the inner lip, and even if the pain was so tearful that his eyes were in pain, he refused to give up.

Outside the door of "......", a short knock interrupted Xia Lian's growing sorrow in time.

Alertly walked to the door, leaned down on the door and listened, but did not dare to answer in time. She was afraid that Qin Yuhuai would turn back again.

"Konatsu...... Are you at home......" is the fat sister downstairs, full of energy.

The hanging heart finally fell to the ground, the fingertips slid through the corners of her eyes, and pulled the corners of her mouth upwards before opening the door: The smile on the face of "Fat Sister ......" was as usual.

"Dumplings just out of the pot, eat and see ......" The fat sister said and handed the plate in her hand to Xia Lian, but it was so hot that she almost didn't catch it, so she had to trot and put it on the table.

Seeing that the fat sister didn't mean to come in, Xia Lian walked to the door again: "Thank you......" said as she walked, but as soon as the words came out, she was in a trance, and suddenly remembered Qin Yuhuai's disgusted look when she heard these two words, and couldn't help but glance back at the fat sister, obviously, she was not so picky.

"Is there a job to do?" The fat sister asked with concern.

"No ......" sighed lightly, Xia Lian shook her head slightly, unable to hide her loss. In the future, for her, it seems that she is more and more confused, more and more confused, unable to get through, and unable to break free.

"Don't worry, take your time,......" the fat sister was relieved, "No, let's dominate the street stall!" In order to build momentum, he deliberately waved his hand, which seemed to be able to really guide the country.

"Good!" Xia Lian was amused and giggled, and the smile hung on her face for a long time and did not want to fade. Sadness, the fewer people entangled, the better, their own sorrow, why dye the interest of others, not to mention tossing and turning in the ups and downs of the years, all the experiences, no one can replace anyone.

"The old man called and asked, do you want to help you occupy a stall!" The so-called old man is the father of the fat sister, who rented a small storefront on the street where Xia Lian set up a stall and did a big food stall business, so the building near the water can always help her seize the "C" position, but recently, because his wife fell his leg, he lost the right-hand man of the fat sister, and he was often busy and forgetful. And she, going with the flow, doesn't bother, and doesn't refuse. From living here until now, thanks to the help of their family. The fate of Pingshui meeting is always indescribably grateful.

"I want to ......" smiled innocently, Xia Lian picked up the fat sister's somewhat thick arms and shook them like coquettishly. Although she is not a few years younger than the fat sister, perhaps because of her size, the two of them always get along like this, one is willing to rely on it, and the other is willing to spoil it.

"Stupid!" Fingers tapped at Xia Lian's eyebrows, the fat sister was disgusted, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Can you get the new goods alone?" ”

"Don't worry! I already went out the day before yesterday! After finishing the words, what came to my heart was the encounter with Qin Yuhuai, the fog-like rainy night, hitting my heart, it was a wet and gentle flow in my heart like wine, more and more mellow, and I couldn't help but reminisce.

"Be careful on the road!" The fat sister advised, because her mother couldn't do without people, she wanted to go downstairs in a hurry, but she didn't take a few steps, and suddenly turned back, "That person, it seems that he cares about you!" To say it or not, after hesitation, the fat sister still informed her. When I delivered dinner to Zimo yesterday, Xia Lian hadn't come back yet, and then, when I went to the balcony to dry my clothes later, I accidentally saw the scene Zimo witnessed.

As a woman, at that moment, the fat sister was envious, but I was afraid that she was hopeless in this life, just ask who can hold the weight of two hundred pounds, besides, it is such a cold and elegant man, his eyes are above the top, and his heart is like stopping water, if it is not what his heart wants, he can't help it, how can he easily move his heart - late at night, the conversation between two men, the fat sister has no intention of eavesdropping, but she also does it deliberately, not for curiosity or gossip, but just worried about whether this man is worth entrusting Xia Lian with the rest of her life.

In fact, the fat sister doesn't know anything about Xia Lian's past, and she has no intention of spying, but a woman who seems to be pampered with a child has been reduced to renting this kind of place, and there is always an unspeakable last resort. It's a pity, she hopes that Xia Lian can have a better future.

"......" was first startled, then laughed astringently, "we...... I don't know ......," Xia Lian said, just lobbying herself to forget Qin Yuhuai's goodness.

"Life is too short, don't waste ......," as if admonishing, the fat sister said solemnly at the corner of the stairs. Last night, Qin Yuhuai's confession moved even her when she heard it.

"Don't worry! I'm pretty good now except for being poor......" she said, squeezing a smile at the fat sister playfully, not wanting her to worry, and not wanting the atmosphere to be too solemn.

In fact, when I left Yintian, I had already made an oath - from now on, I will give myself a hard-hearted heart, and I don't want to take anyone's hand and wander away, and I don't want to nest in anyone's place for the rest of my life. One person's bitterness is always better than one person's torture.

"You can't be bitten by a snake all at once......"

"Auntie, are there snakes here?" Downstairs, there was a childish sound. It was Zimo who came back, and as soon as he walked to the door of the unit, he heard the fat sister's deep voice.

Turning around suddenly, the fat sister had no choice but to end the topic, "Auntie is talking nonsense!" When Zimo walked by, he lovingly stroked the top of the child's head, hugged him again, and then let him go, "It's a little early to get out of school today?" The fat sister asked. At least a quarter of an hour earlier than usual.

"Hmm...... There was no delay on the road......" Zimo smiled, looked at Xia Lian again, carried an extra small square bag in his hand, climbed the stairs, and ran straight towards the house, "Goodbye, Auntie!" Zimo, who was standing at the door of the house, did not forget to turn around and say goodbye politely to the fat sister.

"Goodbye! Good boy! "Yes, Zimo, the fat sister always has an indescribable liking, probably because she is getting older, "Open dinner!" Waving at Xia Lian, the fat sister motioned for her to go back with her.

And Xia Lian didn't make much politeness, and slowly closed the door.

"Mom, are you better?" After Xia Lian stood still, Zimo also washed her hands and came out of the bathroom. Although he had already learned about it from Qin Yuhuai, he still looked nervous.

"Of course! Forgot I'm an iron man? Yesterday's Zimo must have been frightened, she couldn't help but hold the child tightly in her arms in distress, but remembered the kiss that Qin Yuhuai had in the early morning.

"Hug her too tightly......" protestingly pushed her away, Zimo coughed lightly.

"Straight men bet on orphans!" Xia Lian couldn't help but complain.

At a glance at her, Zimo was already surprised by this kind of joke without scale: "That porridge was brought to you by Uncle Qin, and he said that you have to eat this recently." Pointing to the square bag he had just brought up, Zimo said, "Uncle Qin sent me back!" "Finally, I will add one more sentence.

"......" eyebrows twisted slightly, the corners of his lips were slightly upturned, but he was momentarily stunned, unable to think and had complicated thoughts, whether it was resentment, hate, or the small luck of many women looking through the autumn water, it was impossible to tell.

"Mom?" Zimo shouted carefully, thinking that his self-assertion had annoyed Xia Lian.

"Where's Uncle Qin?" When the interruption continues, she will suffer from the chaos, while everything is still in time, she wants to find Qin Yuhuai to understand.

"Gone!" Zimo replied, "Send me downstairs and leave!" ”

However, without giving up, Xia Lian ran quickly to the window facing the street, but saw Qin Yuhuai with his hands in his pockets and leaning against the car door, looking at her with his eyes lifted, as if he had calculated that she would come, and his thin lips pursed lightly with a faint sense of pride, reflected in the afterglow of the setting sun, with an indissolvable tenderness.

"......" Time passed in the four eyes, but she moved her lips as if she was speechless, she couldn't say anything, and stood there silently, watching Qin Yuhuai step into the cab with long legs, close the car door and leave.

"Mom......" On the other end, Zimo called her.

"It's coming......," she replied.

"Eat ......" Waiting for Xia Lian to come over, Zimo opened the thermos box and pushed it in front of her, "Uncle Qin personally cooked it, chicken porridge!" The tone seemed to be deliberately emphasized.

"Zimo ......" put a piece of braised pork and a broccoli into Zimo's bowl, she didn't know how to take care of Zimo and Qin Yuhuai to draw a clear line, "Uncle Qin is not related to us, ...... other"

"Comrade Xiaoxia, you are wrong!" Zimo raised his eyes to interrupt her, and reasoned seriously, "Uncle Qin said that you have known each other for a long time, when I was not born, how can you say that you are not relatives, at least old friends......

"......" A slight heavy breath exhaled from the wing of her nose, Xia Lian didn't know how to convince Zimo, "Uncle Qin is very busy, and there are many big companies to manage. "I had to change the wording.

"It's many times bigger than my father's company......" Zimo answered, and seemed to have heard about it.

The child is growing up day by day, Yin Tian still rarely goes home, Xia Lian can only prevaricate on the grounds of taking care of the company, even if it is today, he tries his best to maintain his responsibility as a father, not for anything else, but for Zimo's mental health.

"Yes......" finally has the hope of climbing along the pole.

"But Uncle Qin said he had a lot of time to take care of us......"

"Zimo ......," Xia Lian said, "We have to be self-reliant, you know?" ”

"Oh......" Seeing Xia Lian's serious face, Zimo didn't dare to quibble anymore.

"How's it taste?" In order to ease the atmosphere, Xia Lian asked softly to Zimo, who was eating with her head down.

"Mommy's Taste ......" swallowed the food in his mouth as fast as he could, and a rainbow fart followed.

"Sycophant......" Xia Lian scolded with a smile, but her heart was happy.

Fate, though harsh, has never neglected anyone, just as it mercifully gave her a Zimo in the abyss; If you feel unsatisfactory, it is just that people's hearts are too greedy, just like they once were.
