At the end of the song, people are scattered. Meng Fei offered to send Zhu Zhu back to her rented office. Although Zhu Zhu repeatedly excused himself, his eyes looked at Lin Guozi and hesitated, seeing that Lin Guozi ignored her, at Meng Fei's insistence, he finally pushed half and half done.

In fact, on this night, the happiest person is Lin Guozi. He was glad in his heart that it was finally bright, and he took Ruan Xiangqin's arm and walked ahead happily: "Mom, I think you will recruit three more employees tomorrow, right?" ”

"Why?" Ruan Xiangqin asked knowingly with a wink.

"Hey, business in the store is a lot better, isn't it? To be honest, I don't want Xiaomeng to help with the restaurant, she should concentrate on writing. And isn't this still unclear? Meng Fei has money, so he can't live on the sofa in the living room anymore, right? It was only a matter of time before he moved out. And mom, you don't see it? He's chasing Zhu Zhuye, hehe, it's just perfect. Don't you think the two of them are a natural pair? They are all from the countryside, and they all have poor backgrounds. Since they are all fallen people at the end of the world, of course, they should sympathize with each other. I think they'll be together soon. In this way, Zhu Zhu will no longer pester me, then of course I can be with Xiaomeng. ”

Ruan Xiangqin thought about it and shook her head slowly: "I think the two of them are not a natural pair. Meng Fei, this kid, don't you think he is very aristocratic in his gestures? I don't know how to describe it, anyway, there is an indescribable temperament, it seems to be a kind of majesty, like a king's demeanor, noble and glorious, hey, I don't understand, anyway, I think Meng Fei and Zhu Zhu are not all the way at all. Besides, silly child, it's not your mother who splashes you with cold water. Even if Meng Fei and Zhu Zhu are together, you and Xiaomeng may not be able to come true. ”

"Mom, how can you grow up with others to destroy your own prestige? Anyway, you don't care, just wait and see. I will definitely be with Xiaomeng. Mom, you have to help me talk, don't you really want me to be with Xiaomeng? Lin Guozi put his hand on Ruan Xiangqin's shoulder and shook unwillingly.

Ruan Xiangqin smiled and patted the back of her son's hand: "Okay, okay, I'm stunned by you." In fact, of course, my mother wants to kiss and kiss. I like Xiaomeng so much, how can I not be happy for her to be my daughter-in-law? However, everything has to go with the flow, emotional things, you can't be reluctant at all, and you won't be happy if you barely get it, understand? Mom just wants you, actively trying, but preparing for the worst. This way, even if you fail, you can get back on your feet quickly. You get it? ”

"Understood! I promise you. But you promised me to help me. ”

"Hehe, got it." Ruan Xiangqin patted her son's head lovingly, "However, you're right, it's time to post the recruitment notice tomorrow." You can use the computer to type one tonight, and post it at the door of the store tomorrow, and you can recruit three. One man and two women. Salary is negotiable. In this way, Xiaomeng can concentrate on writing. ”

"OK, no problem." Lin Guozi's eyebrows flew and he led the order, as if the sun was shining in front of him and the future was bright.

At this time, Du Moran and Du Xiaomeng's father and daughter were far behind. The cold moonlight dragged the two of them out, and the headlights swept over their bodies brightly and off. On the way back to Tianxianglou, Du Xiaomeng was uncharacteristically silent and walked very slowly. Du Moran deliberately stayed with his daughter slowly. Girls are easy to hide their hearts and don't want to talk to others, but as a father, especially a single father, his daughter's words and deeds are all in his eyes, and at the lively feast, how could he not notice his daughter's sadness?

"Xiaomeng, can you talk to Dad?" Du Moran broke the silence and asked lovingly.

Unexpectedly, Xiaomeng immediately nodded: "Actually, I also want to talk to my father." ”

"Then you speak first." Father and daughter spoke in unison. As soon as the words fell, they looked at each other in astonishment and smiled, diluting the serious atmosphere.

"Say it first, Daddy. I'm sorry I've been busy writing lately, and I've been working so much in a restaurant and neglected you, I'm so sorry! ”

"Is that so? Don't be busy with anything else? Du Moran is meaningful.

"What else?" Xiaomeng's heart is so weak and angry.

"Although Dad is a big man and is easy to be rough, his daughter still understands his mind to some extent. You have helped Meng Fei so much this month, and you have been so good to him, Dad has seen it all. If you say you don't have any thoughts on him, no one will believe him? ”

"Where do I have?" Xiaomeng lowered his head and refused to admit it.

"Meng Fei's kid doesn't know what to look at, he doesn't love my beautiful and talented daughter, but he likes Zhu Zhu, the country girl, the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, in fact, the two of them are not worthy at all." Du Moran couldn't help but feel a little unfair for his beloved daughter.

"Dad, don't say that, what's wrong with the country girl? In fact, Zhu Zhu is also a good girl. Xiaomeng's heart was broken.

"You kid! Also speak for your rival. What era is this? Everything has to be fought for on your own. If you really like it, you have to be brave enough to confess, instead of hiding here and being sad alone. This is my Du Moran's daughter. ”

"Dad, you don't understand. This is fate, this is the fate of reincarnation, this is God's destined thing, no one can change it, I also want to fight, but I was born like this, how can I fight? Xiaomeng suddenly lost control, and several crystal tears burst out.

Du Moran was stunned: "This, isn't this look good?" Mom and Dad gave birth to you like a fairy, and they should be very worthy of you. ”

Du Xiaomeng quickly wiped away his tears, restrained his emotions within three seconds, and forced a smile to avoid his father's sadness: "Yes, yes, yes, very worthy of me." Of course I'm a super invincible beautiful girl, so don't worry about me. Where is there no grass at the end of the world? The handsome guy chasing this girl has a truckload, so this girl doesn't take him seriously! ”

Du Moran is a big man after all, he may not be as careful as dust, and he can hear her heartbroken voice, so he was relieved: "Crying and laughing, silly girl." If you think so, Dad will be relieved. In fact, Dad can also see that the fruit has been very good to you since childhood. The fruit is also good, I grew up together and know the roots. Although he is a little simple, he is sincere and frank, without any scheming, kind and reliable by nature, and willing to endure hardships, and his appearance is also good, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a heroic appearance, he can be regarded as a handsome guy, not much worse than Meng Fei. Although your mother Parsley has never said a word to me, I know that she will be very happy if you can agree to this family business. ”

"Daddy, where did you go?" Du Xiaomeng was really annoyed in his heart.

"Xiaomeng, don't you don't like to listen, Dad is for your good. In fact, your mother and fruit, their mother and son's kindness to our father and daughter is really great. From the sponsorship of us when we were young, to helping my father become a painter, to when you had a car accident and I had a stroke, their mother and son did their best to take care of us without disgust, this kind of great kindness is really unrequitable. Du Moran talked about these past events for the first time, and he burst into tears.

Du Xiaomeng didn't understand, she smiled bitterly: "Does Dad plan to repay his daughter with a personal promise?" ”

"Nope! Little dream, don't get me wrong. That's not what Dad meant. It's just that Dad wants you to understand that instead of barely getting happiness, it is better to find someone who loves you to marry. If you marry the fruit, and the mother and son are so good to you, you will definitely be happy. Daddy just wants you to be happy. Du Moran looked at his daughter sincerely and put his heart into his heart.

Du Xiaomeng's eyes were hazy: "But ......"

"Hehe, of course, you're only nineteen years old this year, and you're not in a hurry to get married. Daddy just helps you analyze the analysis. If you've been sick for two years, maybe you can prepare for the college entrance examination and go to college. It's never too late to get married after college. Du Moran patted his daughter's shoulder and pretended to be relaxed.

Du Xiaomeng said categorically: "No, I don't want to go to college. Although knowledge is important to a person, I would rather study on my own than join in the excitement of exam-oriented education. ”

Du Moran said with a smile: "That's because you have now found the direction of your career and have achieved a little success, of course you don't bother to join in the excitement of exam-oriented education." But for many, it's still the only right and reliable way for a carp to leap through the gate. ”

Du Xiaomeng also smiled: "Dad, I don't care about whether the test-taking education is right or not, I care about you the most." ”

"Me? What do I have to care about? Aren't I pretty good now? ”

Du Xiaomeng shook his head and said with sincere concern: "Dad, I understand the loss and sadness in your heart better than anyone else, if one day, I can't write anymore, or the works I can't write are no longer popular with readers, it will really make me more uncomfortable than killing me!" But, Dad, you have been brilliant, you have confirmed your talent for painting, and that is enough. In your old age, you can really take a break. You still have us, our family loves each other and lives happily together, you can enjoy the joy of family and stop thinking about painting, okay? ”

Du Moran smiled sadly and patted his beloved daughter's little head: "Little dream, Dad is very happy to hear you say this." When my father was young, he used to be arrogant and uninhibited, and I could give up even my family and myself for the sake of painting art, so that your mother left me back then. But after all these years, I have also figured it out, and many things have gradually come to light, do you think that if I can't paint anymore, I will look for death? No, it won't. I already know that my family is more important to me. Seeing that a young junior like Meng Fei is better than blue, there must be a loss in my heart, but I am more happy, happy for the Chinese painting world, happy for the art of painting. ”

Du Xiaomeng smiled, she said mischievously: "Oh, Dad, my dear Dad, it seems that from now on I have to look up to you, you are too noble, too great!" ”

"Hehe," Du Moran also smiled: "You're welcome, where am I great?" Actually, I'm selfish! My selfish intention is that if God helps, you can let me paint for two more years, and I can help you buy another villa. I'm guilty of selling the Dream House. Your mother has suffered for us for half her life, and she is still busy in the kitchen all day long, I really hope that she can enjoy the blessings in the villa when she is old, and she will not have to be so busy anymore. ”

Du Xiaomeng patted his chest and promised: "Dad, leave this kind of thing to me." You and Mother Parsley should both enjoy the blessings, and this kind of thing should be left to us young people. I'll do it for you. ”

"Hehe, you are really a father's filial daughter, it seems that it can only be like this. Dad is old and can't really draw, what can I do? ”

The father and daughter are immersed in the filial piety of the father and daughter, and smile at each other. Du Xiaomeng snuggled on her father's shoulder, her eyes were hazy, and at this moment, her heart was full of mixed feelings. Throughout the ages, is it true that only family affection is eternal? So, what about love? When someone becomes a painter, does everything change?

Of course, even he didn't know about Meng Fei's changes. Of course, he ideally accompanied Zhu Zhu to walk on the streets of Beijing, which were still busy after nightfall, the spring was cold, the street lights were like day, and his heart was filled with warmth.

He had heard Xiaomeng talk about Zhu Zhu's family background, or should it be said that at his request, Xiaomeng told him everything about Zhu Zhu, including Zhu Zhu's sick mother and younger brother who was still studying. He is full of love and compassion for Zhu Zhu. How can it be? How could his beloved concubine be reincarnated into such a poor peasant family, causing her to suffer for so many years. He must make up for her, make up for her.

Thinking of this, Meng Fei gently grabbed Zhu Zhu's hand. Zhu Zhu retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, his expression was shocked, and his eyes widened to look at him. Meng Fei smiled lightly: "Am I so terrible?" ”

Zhu Zhu lowered his head in embarrassment and smiled: "No, no." ”

"Why don't you dare look at me?" Meng Fei lifted her chin so that she could face him.

This move frightened Zhu Zhu even more, she took two steps back, and said hurriedly: "You, you don't want to do this!" You just leave like this, you don't have to send me home, I can go myself, but it's just two streets, it's very close, turn around, turn a corner and you'll be there. ”

The smile on Meng Fei's lips deepened: "You know? You look cute like this, and I like you even more. ”

Zhu Zhu was speechless. I've never seen anything like this, and I'm not familiar with him, so I bluntly said I like it. It is undeniable that Meng Fei is too handsome, and his temperament and demeanor are too elegant and chic, when those charming eyes look directly at you, when the gentle magnetic voice tells that they like it, almost all girls will raise their hands in surrender and wait to be killed. For a few moments, Zhu Zhu also had a little fluttering, but Lin Guozi's shadow often woke her up quickly. She is not a girl in the morning and evening, even if Meng Fei is a hundred times better than Lin Guozi, he is still late. It was Lin Guozi who came to her first, and she shouldn't like the new and hate the old.

Zhu Zhu bit her lip and turned her head and walked forward silently. Meng Fei caught up with her and walked backwards in front of her: "What? Not talking is acquiescence, you like me too, don't you? ”

Zhu Zhu stood still and widened his eyes: "I've never seen you like this." What's so good about me? In fact, you should pursue Xiaomeng, I think you and Xiaomeng are a natural pair. ”

Meng Fei also stood still and thought about it, he thought about this question for the first time: "No, I want you, I have to want you, you can only be mine." As for Xiaomeng, well, this woman can be called beautiful and virtuous. But let's talk about this question later, anyway, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and it is not impossible to accept her as a concubine in the future. ”

Zhu Zhu rolled her eyes: "Dizzy, what three wives and four concubines?" Is it okay for a man to marry only one wife? How can you think of a concubine in the future when you are pursuing a girl? How can you catch up with your girlfriend like this? Zhu Zhu completely settled down, it seems that her Lin Guozi is good, dedicated to love, such a loyal and honest man is reliable.

"What chasing girlfriends? What do you mean? Meng Fei didn't know what to say, this Du Xiaomeng hadn't taught him.

"Hey, forget it, I won't tell you. Anyway, you know, everyone knows, I Zhuzhu likes Brother Guozi, except for Brother Guozi, I don't love anyone. Don't say anything you like me anymore. ”

"Hmph, Lin Guozi, he couldn't rob me three hundred years ago, I don't believe that I can still lose to him three hundred years later." Meng Fei was very conceited.

"What three hundred years ago and after that? What do you mean? ”

"Oh, nothing. Evil! I want to know you and live a long life. There are no tombs in the mountains, the rivers are exhausted, thunder and earthquakes in winter, rain and snow in summer. Heaven and earth are together, but dare to be with the king! Meng Fei blurted out in the wind, but when he turned around, he saw Zhu Zhu's confused face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Meng Fei stopped talking, and the two walked forward silently. Downstairs in Zhu Zhu's rented house, when they were about to part, Meng Fei spoke again: "Zhu Zhu, I know, you like Lin Guozi, Xiaomeng once told me." But I also want to tell you that not only can he protect you, but I can too. Besides, the person Lin Guozi likes is Du Xiaomeng, do you think you are sure to take his heart over? If you're not sure, you might as well accept me. Besides, now that I have money, I can afford to help your mother with her illness and sponsor your brother's education. As long as you need it, I will help you without hesitation. Believe me, there is no other person in this world who treats you better than me. ”

He stared at her deeply, her eyebrows, her eyes, her nose, her lips, oh my God, is this his concubine? Such a familiar and unfamiliar face. It's obviously not, but it's clearly yes. He's going crazy.

And Zhu Zhu, a simple girl who doesn't know anything about the world, can't help but fall into confusion under his crazy, affectionate and confused gaze.
