Because Li Hongxi was in a hurry to go on vacation and took a holiday early, Zhong Sheng felt very happy. In addition, after drinking, he lay in bed without any scruples.

The next day, when the sun first rose, Zhong Sheng was still in a daze. was woken up by Li Hongxi's phone, and shouted anxiously: "What time is it, don't you come to take me to the airport, the car is in vain, do you still want me to walk to the airport?" You're too boring, aren't you? Hurry up, hurry up, mother-in-law, no wonder you hit a single! Impatiently, he rolled around.

"Walk through? Why do you say it so nicely? You really have so much ability, why don't you fly back directly, what do you want me to send you for? Zhong Sheng was annoyed by his volume, and scolded him angrily.

However, you still have to send it, if you really don't send it, when Lao Li's face is goodbye, it will be like a horse face, there is a good-looking, stingy man! In his heart, Li Hongxi was depreciated to be worthless. Glancing at my phone, the time was almost up. So I got up and washed, dressed, dressed up, and got ready to go out.

At this time, the phone rang again, and he was shocked to "Geddon". scolded angrily: Bastard Li Hongxi, what's the hurry? When I picked up the phone and saw that it was Xiaolan's, I hesitated, answered, or not?

They haven't seen each other since the last time they separated, and they haven't called each other. I thought it would be so bland, but I didn't expect her to call today.

It's not good to make people angry during the New Year, maybe, what's so difficult that you need his help! comforted himself and opened the phone: "Hello! He greeted politely, looking cold.

"Not good at all! Guys with wolf hearts and dog lungs! Xiaolan scolded in his mouth, but his voice sounded very pleasant, not the kind of death-seeking he imagined. It made him even more convinced that it was just a game.

"Come to our house at noon and celebrate the New Year early. I went out for a while, picked up my parents, just came back yesterday, and today, I will take care of the old people. Come here, it's been a long time, just so you can accompany them, I'll come to Zhang Luo. "It's still talking so briskly, like nothing happened.

"Oh, by the way, I took my little cousin over, she just graduated from college, she also learned your trade, and wanted to find a job here, as soon as I said you, she said that she was a peer, and she was anxious to see you? Come on! The words were earnest, and did not seem to have any other intentions.

"I... I have to send a colleague to the airport for a while, the road is slippery, and I may not be able to come. He lied and lied, and there were always eyes in his heart, blinking slyly to get him off.

"What are you talking about, we just came back, and the road is good! Don't think about it, I won't mess with you, come on, get down to business! The woman calmly invited him.

"Well, well. It may be a little later. When Zhong Sheng heard her say this, he felt that he was at a loss, so he agreed. The eyes in his heart glared at him with disdain, and disappeared.

After sending Li Hongxi to the airport, Zhong Sheng didn't grind with him much, so he turned back, and it was already more than 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

He hurriedly went to the market to hastily buy some New Year's goods, and then walked towards Xiaolan's house with apprehension. I thought about how to talk when I met, after all, it was not as good as before, there were positive and non-positive shapes, and they would not be misunderstood.

Thinking in my heart and practicing, I unconsciously arrived downstairs at Xiaolan's house, looking upstairs, and there was air bubbling out of the window. Xiaolan looked down at the window, and the eyes of the two met, and he panicked. "Come on." She shouted down enthusiastically.

A white face flashed from beside her, glanced down curiously, and quickly hid behind Xiaolan and disappeared. Presumably that is her little cousin, quite beautiful, but too immature. Thinking like this, Zhong Sheng walked into the unit door and went upstairs with a "knock".

The person was still one floor away, and he heard Xiaolan's cheerful voice, "Go faster, so grinding!" Looking up, Xiaolan's head was tucked into the crack in the door and looking down.

Hehe, the bell rippled with a smiling face, didn't say anything, and quickly walked up to the door.

I saw that Xiaolan had cleaned up her hair and clothes, and added the trend elements of the mainland, which was fresh and refined, adding a touch of charm than before.

As soon as she saw him, she happily pulled him through the door. While taking the things in his hand, he said to the two older people sitting on the sofa, "This is my parents, and this is my friend lawyer Zhong Sheng." "Arrange Zhong Sheng to sit down, busy serving tea and water.

"Huh? Hongjuan is hiding again? This little girl has never seen the world and is very shy. After glancing around, he didn't see the little girl, so he shouted inside: "Hongjuan, Teacher Zhong is here, you come out to see it." ”

"Oh-" came a timid promise from inside. After the door knocked softly, a little girl stuck her head out of the door, a little ball, playful and cute. Undyed black hair, with a sense of innocence.

Zhong Sheng looked at her with a smile, "Hello! ”

"Hello Mr. Zhong!" The thin voice is very restrained.

"Sit down and talk, I'll be the chef!" Xiao Lan neatly wrapped up her flower apron and walked to the kitchen.

"Shall I help?" Zhong Sheng said.

"No, you can talk to my parents and cousin, and I'll be alone." In the kitchen, Xiaolan responded briskly.

Zhong Sheng glanced at Xiaolan's parents, the southerners had a fairer complexion, and they couldn't tell their age, so they calculated in their hearts, about fifty-six or seven. is about fifteen or sixteen years older than him, and it is not the vicissitudes of four seasons of labor as imagined, but there is a kind of leisure and calmness that is tailor-made.

The two were also peeking at him. He didn't know what he looked like in their eyes. Only Hongjuan was at a loss to figure out what to do, fiddling with her fingers and not speaking.

"Drink tea!" Xiaolan's father beckoned him warmly. "Eat oranges!" Her mother handed over the peeled orange and smiled unnaturally.

"You're welcome, come by yourself." Zhong Sheng smiled and grabbed an orange, peeled it, and handed it to the little girl. She took it with a "belch, belch" and bowed her head to say "thank you".

That look is like Lin Daiyu's first entry into Jiafu.

In the kitchen, there was the sound of stir-frying, and the sound of Xiaolan skillfully chopping vegetables on the cutting board. What a neat woman. Zhong Sheng thought with some guilt.

Xiaolan's parents and Zhong Sheng didn't say much. Perhaps, because of the strangeness.

Her mother only mechanically asked him if he had a room, how many children he had, and so on, and so on, as if he were on a blind date. Zhong Sheng was a little disdainful to answer in his heart.

Out of politeness, he said that he had a house, one hundred and ten square meters, and was still single, etc., and he also blackened himself: ugly, no money, no car, old age, weak body, so no one looked down on him.

When the three of them heard him say this, they laughed. "You're a visionary." Xiaolan's mother is quite good at talking. It's like her father, who nodded vigorously when he said this. The little cousin laughed and did not speak.

After about two hours, Xiaolan's results were set on a table, and she was very busy. Seeing this, Zhong Sheng couldn't stand by, so he got up to help, serving dishes and bowls, like a family.

In this situation, the old couple couldn't see it, so they had to help with it. Zhong Sheng dissuaded and said, "Today, you are guests, and you will do it according to the rules of hospitality." ”

Her father nodded confusedly, "Oh? We are guests. That's another day. Hearing this, my little cousin was also at a loss.

After fiddling with the dishes, Xiaolan arranged: Brother Zhong sat in the right position, my parents sat on the left, and Hongjuan and I sat here.

No, the family has a reunion during the New Year, the parents are seated, the guest of honor is on the left, the host is down, he is on the side, so arranged.

They repeatedly shirked, but Zhong Sheng insisted on refusing. In the end, it was as he wanted.

Xiaolan opened a bottle of Wuliangye and filled it with wine one by one. encouraged her father to speak up. Her father was humble for a few moments, and then he said some inconsequential words: all the way to Xinjiang, to his daughter, etc... Today is a family reunion, and I wish you all a happy new year. to get to the point.

Raise a glass together, touch each other, and drink it in one gulp. That wine, it's so cool! Zhong Sheng's vow of abstinence from alcohol temporarily lost its validity.

The dishes made by Xiaolan are really delicious, I haven't eaten them for a long time, it's so fragrant!

Everyone unanimously praised the hostess's cooking skills, which became the main topic of conversation on the table for a while. The atmosphere was congenial and cheerful.

After half a bottle of wine, under the blend of alcohol, everyone was no longer restrained in their speech.

Xiaolan and her father raised a glass to invite Zhong Sheng to drink, and he happily responded. "Brother Zhong, thank you for your help to my girl, she keeps saying that you are a good person..."

Xiaolan was so embarrassed that she glared at her father. Her mother saw that she looked a little strange, so she asked Zhong Sheng if she knew how to cook?

Zhong Sheng said with the strength of wine: I can make sauerkraut and scrambled eggs.

"Can I eat it?" The little cousin asked in a low voice. Alcohol smeared and flushed. It's so beautiful.

Unbelief? You can try. He said jokingly.

Everyone at the table laughed.

Zhong Sheng returned home a little drunk.

Originally, Xiaolan wanted to keep him to accompany the old man and talk to his little cousin for a while. However, Xiaolan's father drank a little too much, and he couldn't open his eyes when he sat on the table. In this case, if he sits down again, he will be annoyed. He thought to himself, and got up to take his leave.

Xiaolan said: The four-bedroom and two-living room house is very big, and I'm afraid that there is no place to live?

But he insisted on leaving, and she stopped keeping him. He packed a large bag of tea, dried fish and other things that were not available locally from his hometown and asked him to bring them to his family to taste. In the end, out of nowhere, two more pieces of bacon were turned out and asked for him to carry them. This made him very embarrassed, and he even said that he had time to come over to eat, but he couldn't take it.

The little girl said that she had smoked it herself when her uncle came, and it was very fragrant. The eyes are tired of a charming smile. Zhong Sheng took a closer look at her: a well-balanced figure, a white and tender face, willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and a cocked nose. The lips are plump, the width is just right, and when you laugh, you are charming. It's also a soul hook master.

When Xiaolan heard him say this, she stopped shoehorning.

After brewing a cup of tea given by Xiaolan, Zhong Sheng lay on the sofa, very happy.

It's not because Lan invited him to dinner, but because Lan is still living happily ever since they ended, unaffected in the slightest—at least for now.

He's not the kind of person who can let go of anything, especially this kind of thing. So, he's happy.

I was thinking about some things from the past, and I felt that I was very dirty. I got up and took a sip of tea, it was really fragrant! He couldn't help but praise. Lean back comfortably on the sofa and want to get a good night's sleep.

Just then, the phone rang.

As soon as I saw that it was an unfamiliar number, I thought, who is so eyeless, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and at this time I still call, I really don't know what to think. Reluctantly, he swiped the phone: "Hello, Tiangang Law Firm, can I help you with anything?" "Polite words, revealing strangeness.

"It's me!" An extremely gentle voice on the other side. caught him off guard and froze for a moment, who is this? Xiaolan? There is her number, and neither is the voice. My mind spun around and my heart rang, Maserati! That's right, it's her.
