The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little awkward at times, but overall it was pretty good. Zheng Xichen can clearly feel the changes in Kanghua in the past few years.

Not only to her, but also to Afei's attitude is much better, not as domineering and condescending as before.

Perhaps, as she herself said! The older I get, the more I feel that money, identity and status are the least important, and the important thing is that the warmth between people is difficult to buy.

Halfway through the meal, Kanghua suddenly said, "I remember." ”

"Grandma, what do you remember?" Quan Guo was stunned.

"Sunset." Kang Hua asked her: "That day, did you also go to the art show of Guoguo and their school?" Sitting next to Huijuan, that's you! ”

No wonder when she saw Zheng Xichen just now, she felt very familiar, but she was very sure that it was not the familiarity she used to be, as if she had seen this place before.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally remembered.

"Yes, aunt."

Zheng Xichen smiled, "I'm really sorry, I didn't say hello to you that day because I didn't want everyone to know that I was back." ”

"I understand, it's fine." Kanghua said.

A warm dinner, everyone ate and chatted for two hours before it ended, after eating, and after sitting together and eating some fruit, Zheng Xichen saw that the time was not early, and he was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she proposed to leave, it suddenly began to rain heavily, and thunder and wind swept fiercely, as if it was about to swallow the city.

Seeing this, Quan Guo hurriedly took the opportunity to stay again, "Mom, it's raining so hard, there's no way to go, it's better to stay at home at night!" ”

"yes, Sunset."

Kanghua said: "Even if there is a driver to send it, driving in this kind of weather is very dangerous. I think it's better to stay for one night and go straight to work tomorrow morning! Guoguo should also have a lot to say to you. ”

"I'll wait! This kind of torrential rain should stop in a while. Zheng Xichen did not let go and agreed to stay.

Even if everyone is retaining, she just can't pass the level in her heart. They are all divorced, and there is no legal relationship, so what is it to live here?

If it is spread out, it will be nothing to the Quan family, but what she has to bear by herself may be all kinds of ugly words. Now she is a medical worker, and she wants to maintain this image that is quite good in the eyes of outsiders.

And everyone couldn't help her, so they could only wait together, but after waiting for half an hour, the rain did not decrease, but there was a tendency to get bigger and bigger.

Zheng Xichen was a little anxious, took out his mobile phone and opened the weather forecast, only to find that the rain would continue until tomorrow morning.

"The rain probably won't stop." Quan Ye finally opened his mouth to stay, "Let's stay tonight!" Sleeping in his room with Guoguo. ”

"Okay!" Zheng Xichen compromised.

Kwon Guo's wish came true, and immediately happily ran upstairs to tidy up the messy books, puzzles and other things on the bed. After tidying up, Zheng Xichen just came up.

She pushed open the door and found that Quan Guo's room had been renovated, from the previous warm and lovely style, to a fashionable and simple style, just like others, looking simple.

"Mom, you're coming up." Quan Guo hurriedly pushed his computer chair forward, "Let's sit down first!" ”

"When was this room refurbished?" Zheng Xichen asked.

Quan Guo glanced around and said, "It's been two years, how is it, is it okay?" ”

Zheng Xichen nodded, "Very good." ”

At a glance, she saw the sketch paper on Quan Guo's computer desk, and she asked again: "By the way, Guoguo, are you still drawing?" ”

"Yes." Quan Guo hurriedly took his album, handed it to Zheng Xichen and said, "These are all my works." ”

Although he is now learning piano and others, painting is something he has loved since he was a child, and it is also his greatest pursuit in this life, and it cannot be stopped for any reason.

So, of course, it will stick with it.

Moreover, in recent years, he has also participated in many competitions, large and small, and each time he has won the first prize, and some of them have been appreciated by the masters and successfully published.

Zheng Xichen opened the album, but he didn't expect that the first one was her portrait, which was very vivid, and the eyebrows and eyes were really full of life.

"When was this drawn?" She looked up and asked Kwon Guo.

"Last year." Quan Guo said: "It was also a sketch that I came into contact with last year, and this is the first sketch painting, and the painting is not very good. ”

"It's already good, much better than me." Zheng Xichen praised.

"Where is there a person who looks good." Quan Guo sat down next to Zheng Xichen, "I think the painting is ugly, but I am good-looking!" Better looking than all my classmates' mothers. ”

Poof.

Zheng Xichen was amused by Quan Guo.

This kid obviously seems to be the kind of introverted personality that doesn't talk much. But I didn't expect to say such sweet words.

Better looking than all my classmates' moms? What a compliment! She doesn't have the confidence to compare herself to so many people.

"Really, I paid attention to it all during the parent-teacher conference." Kwon Guo said.

Hearing the three words of the parent-teacher meeting, the smile on Zheng Xichen's face gradually disappeared. She licked her lips, closed the album and asked Kwon Guo, "Your parent-teacher meeting, did the other students go to the meeting with their mothers?" ”

"Ninety percent! Because everyone's dad is also very busy, mom will have more free time. There are also some single-parent families, that is, fathers go to participate. Kwon said.

Zheng Xichen hurriedly asked, "That's ...... What about you? Was your dad going to attend? ”

"It's not." Quan Guo shook his head, "It's grandma who went, and dad is very busy." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Xichen's heart suddenly felt a little panicked. At the same time, I also feel very distressed and sorry for Quan Guo.

Other people's single-parent families are attended by their fathers, but he obviously has both parents, but only his grandmother goes to the parent-teacher conference. What will his classmates think of him?

In the past few years, he should have had a hard time! Happiness really doesn't have that much to do with money.

"Guoguo." Zheng Xichen resisted the urge to cry, took Quan Guo's hand and said sincerely, "I'm sorry!" ”

"Mom......"

"It's all because your mother is not good, and she has always put you in a situation where you lack maternal love. But be sure to believe that mothers love you no less than any mother loves their children. I'm just ......" Zheng Xichen's voice choked.

She was just helpless.

If she hadn't left so ruthlessly five years ago, how could she stand in front of Quan Guo again with such a fearless attitude now!

Since the past is irretrievable, we can only try to make up for it in the future.

After the mother and son took a bath, they lay down on Kwon Guo's bed together.

Zheng Xichen listened carefully to what Quan Guo said about a lot of things that have happened in the past five years, and when he heard the happy places, he would be sincerely happy for him. And when they hear something sad, they will hug him and drop a kiss on his forehead.

After Kwon Guo fell asleep, she turned off the bedside lamp and sat in the dark until the early hours of the morning.

"Mom, get up." Zheng Xichen felt that she had only slept for a few minutes when she heard Quan Guo calling her.

She opened her eyes and found that Quan Guo was already fully dressed, so she quickly came to her senses and asked, "Guoguo, what time is it?" ”

"At half-past six, you can get up, and Fei has already made breakfast. After eating, Dad said he would send you to work. "Kwon Guo seems to be in a very good mood.

Zheng Xichen picked up his mobile phone and confirmed that it was indeed half past six, so he immediately got up in a hurry.

After washing up and going downstairs, everyone was already waiting for her.

"I'm sorry, I'm up late." Zheng Xichen walked towards the dining table.

"It's not too late." Kanghua said: "It's just that we're early, how about the evening, how did you sleep well last night?" ”

Zheng Xichen hummed and sat down opposite Kanghua, "Sleep well." ”

It can be said that it was the best night she slept in years. Usually she sleeps at two or three o'clock in the morning almost every day, and the quality of sleep is particularly poor.

However, last night, I slept until dawn, and now I only feel that the whole person is full of energy and energy.

"That's good, let's have breakfast! After eating, let Ah Ye send you to work. Kanghua said.

"Sister Xichen." Ah Fei brought Zheng Xichen a glass of milk, "This is stewed milk, the old lady specially asked me to stew it for you, and I drank it to be in good spirits." ”

"Thank you." Zheng Xichen took it and took a sip, and then said to Quan Ye: "I'll just take a taxi to work by myself later, you ...... Let's go to the office early! It's easy to get stuck in traffic on that part of the hospital, so don't be late. ”

There were many more people in the morning than in the afternoon, she really didn't want to be watched by everyone anymore, especially Liu Fang, if it aroused her jealousy, she didn't dare to think about the consequences.

"Boss is still late?" Quan Ye said casually: "It's nothing today, even if you're late, it doesn't matter." You also said that the road in the hospital is easy to block, and if you run into a driver who takes a detour, I'm afraid you will be the one who is late. ”

The implication is that he sent it today, no matter how Zheng Xichen refused, he must personally send her to work, rain or shine.

And he did just that, as soon as Zheng Xichen had breakfast, he was directly stuffed into the car by Quan Ye, and when he was halfway down, he remembered that his mobile phone was still on Quan Guo's bed, and he forgot to take it.

"It's okay, just let Ah Fei send it to you." Quan Ye said, so he made a call home, "Housekeeper, Madame's mobile phone is on Guoguo's bed, let Ah Fei go up and get it later, and send it directly to Jingren Hospital." ”

After the housekeeper got the order, he hung up the phone and said to Ah Fei: "Madame's mobile phone has left in Guoguo's room, let me send it to Jingren Hospital later." ”

"Okay, I'll send it over later." Afi said.
