Liu Ji's gaze was suspicious at first, but when he gradually understood what Cui Ying said, a glimmer of brilliance suddenly burst out in his eyes that had been indifferent for a long time, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Really?" ”

"Mom, what are you lying to you?" Emerald looked at him with a smile as if she were her own son. The briefcase in Liu Ji's arm fell to the ground with a snap, he turned around and took two steps forward in a daze, and suddenly sped up and ran towards the kitchen.

"Brother-in-law, what's wrong?" He Tu turned his head and asked his mother curiously, but was stunned by Cuiying's look. She said to Hedi, "Don't ask so much about you, child. ”

"Huh?" "I'm a kid again." ”

Liu Ji ran into the kitchen, and Hexin was pouring water into the pot. When she heard the footsteps, she thought it was Hetu running in, so she smiled and said, "Ouch, you run slowly, be careful if you fall." I never thought about it, but when I turned around, I saw Liu Ji's ecstatic face. It's been a long time since she's seen this kind of expression on his face, whenever they meet, whether it's when they're eating or sleeping, he's expressionless and indifferent, as if he's lost interest and motivation in everything in the world, and only the most basic responsibilities and obligations support his difficult survival. At this time, she suddenly saw such a rich expression on his face, which frightened Hexin, she put down the lid of the pot in her hand and stammered, "You, what's wrong with you, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Ji didn't speak, he ran to Hexin and squatted down, so frightened that Hexin went straight back, until his waist was on the pot and he couldn't retreat anymore. He looked at Hexin's waist around the apron seriously, stretched out his hand and gently touched her lower abdomen, looked up and asked with a smile, "Is there really one?" ”

Hexin immediately understood why he was like this. She breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it wasn't a bad thing that stimulated him to be like this. She smiled and said, "Hmm." ”

Liu Ji grinned and laughed happily. It had been a long time since he had laughed so well, and the news was nothing short of a savior for him. He has a relative, a relative who is related to him by blood, and this little life is being conceived in Hexin's belly, and one day in the future, he will be born, grow up, laugh, cry, and talk to himself. What a beautiful thing, Liu Ji fantasized that he suddenly felt that his life began to have expectations and reliance, and he no longer felt hard and difficult when looking forward to the future days.

"Mom said that I would take good care of you in the future, I know, you won't do too much work in the future." Liu Ji raised his head and said to Hexin, his eyes flashing with a strange light. Hexin's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she struggled a lot to keep herself from crying, and reluctantly smiled: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

She was so moved, not only because of Liu Ji's laughter, but also because of his words. She thought that he had finally come back and understood how good he was, and that she had carefully cared for and cared for him every day. She felt very relieved, and finally felt that she had not paid in vain, and she was suddenly full of hope for her future life, and felt that the future days would no longer be difficult and difficult.

The two of them talked and laughed in the kitchen, only to react when the water in the pot began to boil and hiss. Hexin hurriedly said, "You go back to the living room and wait, I'll cook dumplings for you to eat." ”

"Okay." Liu Ji nodded, reluctantly glanced at her stomach, and then turned around and walked outside. With a sweet and happy smile on her face, Hexin turned around happily and held the dumplings she had just taken out of the refrigerator into the pot. The white dumplings were tumbling in the water, and after a while they all floated upwards, and she fished them out and put them on a plate, and walked towards the living room.

Liu Ji was chatting and talking with Jiafu, and the content they discussed was not well understood by women, most of them were current affairs and news. Cuiying sat on the side and listened from time to time, but more often than not, she was admonishing and instructing Hedi. He Tu was really annoyed, so he stood up and prepared to help his sister, and Hexin came out just halfway through. She smiled and said, "Oh, let him eat this plate first, and then I'll cook it." ”

"Sister." He Tu hurriedly grabbed her arm and whispered, "You go and sit, I'll cook." Mom is so nagging that I can't listen to it anymore. ”

He Xin glanced at her with a smile and reproached: "You, you really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, I want to listen to my mother's nagging, but I can't listen to it." Forget it, go ahead, be careful not to get burned by the water. ”

"Don't worry, who am I, who will make the water scald?" He Tu smiled triumphantly and walked towards the kitchen in a big way. He Xin looked at her back with a smile, and really felt that this day was the happiest day in her life. She put the dumplings on the dining table, set up the chopsticks and spice plates, and shouted into the living room, "Eat dumplings." ”

Liu Ji immediately stopped talking, he got up from the sofa, made a gesture of invitation, and said to Jiafu: "Dad, you go eat first." ”

"You can eat." Jiafu said with a smile, "We ate in the afternoon, and we're not hungry yet." ”

"Then you're welcome." Liu Ji pursed his lips and smiled, turned around and walked towards the kitchen. At this time, he was like a different person from when he first entered the door, and Hexin looked at him and walked towards him, almost unrecognizable to him.

"You can sit down too." Liu Ji looked at his wife and said to her.

Hexin sat down flattered and looked at him seriously and pityingly. Liu Ji quickly finished eating a plate of dumplings, his appetite became surprisingly good, and after eating, he looked towards the kitchen and asked if Hexin was still there. Hexin hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes." She had just turned around and was about to call Hedi, who had already walked to the table with the dumplings. She put down the plate, glanced at Liu Ji timidly, and whispered, "Brother-in-law, you can eat." ”

Liu Ji glanced at Hetu and asked absentmindedly, "Listen to Dad, are you married?" ”

He glanced at her sister, not knowing how to answer the question, but nodded with a red face.

"Well, that's pretty good." Liu Ji looked up at her again, "Live a good life, there will be more good days in the future." ”

His words seem to mean something, and they mean a lot. But before Hexin Hedi understood what he meant, he continued: "Let my parents and your sister live in our house tonight, I'll sleep in the study, how do you sleep and arrange it yourself." ”

"Really?" Hexin's eyes widened in surprise, Liu Ji nodded, and she stood up excitedly and walked towards the living room, shouting as she walked: "Mom and Dad!" You stay here at night, don't go out and find a hotel to stay in. ”

He Tu saw that his sister had gone out, and hurriedly followed him out. Although Liu Ji had a smile on her face, she still didn't dare to talk to him, she always felt that his surface was like two people in her heart. The commotion in the living room was the voice of Hexin persuading her parents to stay here. Finally her father relented, and she jumped up with joy, like a child who had just learned something. Jiafu said: "It's just too much trouble for you." ”

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Hexin looked at his father with a little reproach, "You are my father, it's not troublesome to talk about, if it's such a trivial matter, it's troublesome, then I still rely on you to support me for so many years, then I won't have to trouble a basket." ”

"Ghost girl." Cuiying snorted and laughed, "At this time, your mouth has become so smart? ”

Hexin took her mother's arm and said, "As long as you stay, I will be happy, and I can say anything beautiful." ”

"You see, you see." Cuiying pointed to Hexin and said to Jiafu, "Where is it like this when you are not married, as soon as you get married, you will say beautiful things, I really don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing." ”

"I only say it to my family, and I don't have to say it to others." He Xin put on a tsundere expression, and suddenly felt that she had acted too much, and suddenly blushed again. She stole a glance at her father and mother, and when she saw that they were only smiling and not noticing her own expressions, she was relieved.

"That's it, Mom and Dad, stay at my house tonight. Liu Ji said, he sleeps in the study, and I will set up a small bed for him later. I'll sleep with Hedi, Dad, you'll sleep in the same room with Mom, okay? Hexin looked at everyone's faces with interest, and she didn't relax until they all nodded.

"That's nice." Hexin said silently in her heart, "It's been a long time since I've been so happy, if only I was so happy every day like today, I'd rather exchange my life for ten years of happiness for such a day." ”

But immediately she felt that her throat was blocked, her nose was sore, her eyes were red, and tears were about to roll out. In order not to worry her parents and not to spoil the current happy atmosphere, she pinched her thighs with her hands and forced back the tears. "You can't cry, you can't cry." She muttered to herself, "Why are you crying when you're so happy?" She didn't know how many grievances and depressions she had accumulated in her heart, these things had already turned into a heavy stone and pressed on her heart, and at this time, the stone was suddenly exploded, and those grievances and depressions flew everywhere in her heart. While she unconsciously recalled those grievances and depressing moments in the past, she felt sincerely happy that she had escaped from that situation, and she couldn't help crying for a while. But she is such a strong person, she has never cried out in the most difficult times, how can she allow herself to cry at such a moment? She pinched herself harder and harder, until the piece of flesh lost its pain and touch, and then slowly let go of her hand.
