Chapter 18: Dinner

Looking at the short text sent by Ji Ren on his mobile phone, Su Xiaoran still couldn't suppress the turbulence in his heart.

Despite the breakup, Ji Ren still did not miss every birthday she had, which is probably the best birthday gift she has ever received, right? However, as long as he thought that Ji Ren gave his blessing in the name of a married man, Su Xiaoran felt very uncomfortable.

She quickly took a taxi, got out of the car not far from home, bought a supper for Qiqi, and then dragged her tired body to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Su Xiaoran saw that the house was pitch black, she turned on the light in doubt, and as soon as the light came on, a few jagged voices suddenly popped out of the room:

"Happy Birthday!"

Immediately afterwards, Su Xiaoran saw her father, mother, and Qiqi, and the three of them appeared in front of her with red hats on their heads.

Happiness came too suddenly, the roses in Su Xiaoran's hands slipped to the ground, she opened her hands to meet Qiqi's embrace, however, the sharp-eyed Mother Su saw a large bouquet of roses, she picked them up and brought them to Su Xiaoran: "Tell me quickly, who sent it?" New goals? ”

"That's right, Su Xiaoran, okay, you turned out to lie to me and said that you worked overtime and went out to fool around, you are too black-hearted!"

As soon as Qiqi saw the bouquet of roses, he immediately pushed Su Xiaoran away and shouted loudly: "Okay, you Su Xiaoran, who sent it from the truth?" ”

Su Xiaoran was speechless, facing three pairs of eyes waiting for gossip, she reluctantly pushed them away, sat on the soft sofa, grabbed the apple in the fruit bowl on the side and took a bite, and said, "No, nothing." ”

"No?" Qiqiyi limped over to Su Xiaoran and sat down, and continued to ask, "No, how did this flower come from?" You're not going to tell me you bought it yourself, are you? ”

"Huh? You're right, I bought it myself, and it cost me a lot of money! Su Xiaoran frowned, secretly looking at her parents' faces, fortunately, they didn't plan to continue to investigate, Su Xiaoran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guys are good enough, the secrecy work is so good, didn't I say I was playing mahjong when I called?" Su Xiaoran diverted the topic and looked at Su's mother with a smile on her face.

Su's mother and Su's father are retired teachers, and the two of them gave birth to Su Xiaoran when they were in their thirties, so they have now reached retirement age. Since Su Xiaoran joined the work, the daily life of the two elders is to go downstairs in the community to play mahjong with others, and the more they rub, the more energetic they are, and there are almost no idle days.

Today, seeing the two of them rushing over on purpose, looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, Su Xiaoran's heart was damp, but she still smiled, at this moment, she knew that even if there was no Ji Ren, there were other people who would remember her birthday, they were her relatives, her friends, and this feeling would never disappear with the passage of time.

"Your mother has to come over and say that her daughter's birthday is Mother's Day, and she must come over to see the little person who made her suffer." Dad Su pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, although there was a layer of lenses, Su Xiaoran could still see the full pampering under the lenses, she rubbed next to Su's mother, and said coquettishly: "Thank you, Mom, thank you for bringing me into this world." ”

"Silly boy! What nonsense, come over and eat, the dishes are cold! Su's mother pulled Su Xiaoran to the edge of the dining table and sat down, the four of them surrounded the city, and Qiqi couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks: "Great, Su Xiaoran, if you don't come again, my stomach will be hungry." ”

"Eat seven-seven, eat more." Su's mother smiled and gave Qiqi vegetables.

Su Xiaoran looked at Qiqi gobbling up, and then looked at Su's father and Su's mother watching the two of them eat dotingly, and her heart suddenly brightened sweetly.

"Xiaoran, has your work been going well lately?" Father Su took a sip of wine and asked, Su Xiaoran raised his head in panic, and replied without thinking about it: "It's smooth, it's very smooth." ”

"Oh? I heard Qiqi say, you have a new boss? What about others? I didn't make it difficult for you, did I? ”

"Embarrassed?" Su Xiaoran stepped on Qiqiyi under the table, and then said, "How come? Our new boss is very nice and takes special care of me. Dad, don't worry, I'm fine. ”

"If only that were the case." Father Su's face cleared. Su's mother didn't seem to have enough to do, she stared at Su Xiaoran and asked, "Xiaoran, Qiqi said that your new boss is a man?" Still young? Yes, does he have a partner? How are people? ”

"Mom! Where do you think of it! ”

Su Xiaoran glared at Qiqi fiercely, and the naughty Qiqi had been gobbling up, pretending to be irrelevant to himself.

"Mom, this is concerned about you. You see, you've been working for a year, and you don't even have a boyfriend. I can tell you, your Aunt Zhang's daughter brought her boyfriend home last week, that guy, who is tall and tall, works in a state agency, but you Aunt Zhang is proud to death, and everyone praises her son-in-law for how good she is. When did you make your mom have a long face too? ”

"This kind of thing can be compared!" Su Xiaoran lowered her head and poked the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks.

"Why can't it be compared? Doesn't our country pay attention to raising children, preventing old age, and honoring our ancestors? You've grown so big, did your mom ask you for anything? Mom, as long as you bring a boyfriend home, why is it so difficult! ”

Su's mother was a little unhappy, Qiqi's eyes were quite flexible, she hurriedly sandwiched the dishes for Su's mother, and explained: "Aunt Su, don't worry, your family Xiaoran is very popular in the company, I have heard that there are many male colleagues who want to pursue her!" ”

"Really?" Sue's mother smiled again.

"Of course! When have I ever lied to someone? Qiqi raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Xiaoran, smashing his mouth proudly.

Su Xiaoran was amused by Qiqi, she couldn't cry or laugh, Qiqi's joke was really big, and several male colleagues chased her? Su Xiaoran and their departments are all female compatriots except for Chenxi, but the worst thing is that Chenxi is more terrible than female compatriots......

This meal, Su Xiaoran ate both happily and unsteadily, Su Xiaoran began to feel that Su's father and Su's mother must be old, and their current topic is inseparable from Su Xiaoran's life events, which made Su Xiaoran very frightened, she was not ready, they were already old.

The scariest thing is that the people closest to you are already slowly aging before you know it, and this change cannot be changed and cannot be delayed.

After sending off Su's father and Su's mother, Su Xiaoran lay flat on the sofa, Qiqi ate a lot of things, she burped, and lay down on Su Xiaoran very satisfied, the two of them played with their mobile phones, and after a long time, Su Xiaoran finally said:

"That bouquet of roses was given to me by Kiren."
