"What's wrong?" Seeing Lin Xiaowan's eyes slightly clouded, Rong Shaochen couldn't help but wonder.

Shouldn't she be happy to have her favorite skewers for such a festive occasion?

Lin Xiaowan didn't snort, didn't look out the window, bit his lip lightly and lowered his head.

"Not happy not to attend a class reunion?"

Lin Xiaowan shook his head.

"Miss your mother?"

"Some."

"I'll see her tomorrow." Seeing that she was still not interested, Rong Shaochen pointed out the window, "Fireworks." ”

Outside the window, colorful fireworks continue to burst in the air, adding brilliant colors to the night sky and adding a festive atmosphere to the New Year.

Lin Xiaowan glanced at it casually, and his sad expression became worse.

"Don't worry about your mom, she has the best doctors."

"Thank you."

"Still not happy? Today is the New Year. ”

"Don't mention the word New Year!" Seeing someone looking at it, Lin Xiaowan immediately lowered the decibel level and said irritably, "I hate the New Year, especially the moment of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new." ”

"Why? A bad start to the new year? ”

"Ten years ago, for me, the New Year was no longer a new beginning, but a source of pain."

Rong Shaochen's heart tightened, and he said, "It has something to do with your father?" ”

"Well," Lin Xiaowan's tears couldn't be restrained, "Ten years ago yesterday, he left me forever without saying a word." ”

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought you out at this time. ”

"It's none of your business, it's my own. For ten years, every New Year's Day approaching, I would deliberately let myself ignore its particularity, and try to sweep my father's grave with the best smile, so that my mother would think that I had calmly faced the reality. But......" Lin Xiaowan hid his face and cried, "Every New Year, I don't like others to give me New Year's gifts the most." Because my dad was in a car accident when he went to buy me a New Year's gift! ”

Looking at her painful appearance, Rong Shaochen's eyes were slightly downcast, and he said in a low voice: "He bought you a gift in the hope that you will be happy, you ......"

"I know, I don't want to cry, but I can't help it! From preparing to renovate the cemetery for him to sweeping the grave today, I have endured it for a long time. Lin Xiaowan bit his lip tightly and forced himself not to cry, "For so many years, as long as I think of the car accident he had to buy me a gift, I hate myself and the New Year's gift I insisted on!" ”

"You can't be blamed for this, no one can predict the accident, not to mention that you were only eleven years old at that time."

"But I'm just ......" Seeing the boss coming, Lin Xiaowan was silent.

The boss put down the skewers and a pot of wine, and said with a smile: "Your skewers are ready, this wine is for you, I wish everyone peace and security." ”

"Thank you, boss." Lin Xiaowan, who was trying to restrain his emotions, picked up the wine jug and filled the two cups in front of him, pushed a glass in front of Rong Shaochen, and said with a light smile, "Rice wine and eggs are the characteristics of this old shop, try it." ”

Rong Shaochen held her hand: "You don't know how to drink?" ”

"Actually, I'll drink a little. In the past, my father liked to drink some wine when he was happy, so the family often brewed his own rice wine, and I often sat on my father's lap and dipped my chopsticks in the rice wine. Lin Xiaowan pushed his hand away, poured a cup straight down, smacked his mouth, shook his head like an aftertaste, and said, "This wine is good, but it's not as sweet as my mother's." ”

"Really?" Rong Shaochen took a sip and put down the glass—he wasn't used to drinking this kind of wine.

Lin Xiaowan didn't pay attention to him, and poured it all over himself, drinking and reminiscing about the past while masturbating.

"I've been hungry since I was a child, and my mouth can't stop all day long, and my father always laughs at me for being a rubber belly, as if I can never fill it. Whenever he was free, he would take me to find something to eat, and every time I would hold on to the point where I couldn't even walk, and then he would carry me back. I used to sing to him on his back, and I would make his hair into a chicken nest by pranks, and deliberately make people laugh at him, but he never got angry and carried me home so happily.

"Once he carried me home, passing by a pure handicraft workshop, there was a set of ancient handmade dolls in the kitchen window, flowing cloud buns, golden steps, lotus leaf skirts, I was immediately fascinated, crying in front of the kitchen window. Dad had no choice but to go in, but soon ran out and forcibly pulled me away. Seeing that I couldn't stop crying, he promised me to buy me one for the New Year. During that time, every day after school, I would take a detour to the handicraft workshop to see the dolls, happily guessing which one my father would choose for me. It's a pity that I didn't wait for my father's gift, I can't wait for it in my life.

"How many times have I dreamed at night that my father was holding a lot of handmade dolls and saying to me with a smile, 'Good daughter, look what Dad bought you', and every time I wake up laughing, I find that it is just a dream, and I cry a lot."

"Boss, another jug of wine!"

Rong Shaochen had been listening to her carefully, and when she said this, she found that she had drunk all the pot of wine, and hurriedly snatched her cup: "Don't drink it, let's go home." ”

"I haven't had enough yet." Lin Xiaowan burped after speaking.

Rong Shaochen frowned and helped her up: "I'll drink it later." Walk. ”

Lin Xiaowan, whose eyes were misty, stared at him for a long time, and said with a smile: "If you carry me, I'll leave." ”

Rong Shaochen's face darkened, and he reprimanded: "Don't mess around, I'll help you go." ”

"No, if you don't carry me, you won't leave. If you don't go, carry it, carry it. Lin Xiaowan shook his arm coquettishly.

Rong Shaochen realized that she was drunk, gritted his teeth, and embarrassedly carried her out of the kebab shop in full view.

Lin Xiaowan hummed happily, his hands scratching at his head.

"Don't move."

"Hee-hee, it's going to look better."

"If you move again, I'll throw you in the ditch!"

"You throw, you throw!" Lin Xiaowan hooked his neck tightly, rested his head under the back of his head, and rubbed it rougly.

Rong Shaochen had no choice but to speed up.

Seeing that he had no voice, Lin Xiaowan's singing voice started again, and his two hands were gouging on his head again, happy like a puppy with bones.

Rong Shaochen, who wanted to get out of the alley quickly, slowed down as she walked, silently feeling her joy.

"Boss, what's wrong with Madame?"

After only two hundred meters, Yang Yuan and Xiao Fei rushed over.

"Drank too much. Help her down. Rong Shaochen slowly squatted down.

"If I don't come down, I won't come down."

"Well, I'm home." Rong Shaochen patted her hand lightly, and motioned for Xiaofei to open the door.

Lin Xiaowan let go and obediently let him into the car.

Rong Shaochen was about to go in, when Xiaofei suddenly exclaimed: "Boss, your hair is ......"

Feeling that Yang Yuan was pulling his clothes, Xiao Fei hurriedly silenced him, and after closing the door, he and Yang Yuan looked at each other, but they didn't dare to laugh, and they almost held back internal injuries along the way.

Lin Xiaowan slept very sweetly this night, because she dreamed of her father again, and her father's New Year's gift.

Seeing that it was already dawn, she stretched beautifully, yawned loudly, and the memory in her head began to slowly wake up.

Looks like I drank too much last night!

This is Rong Shaochen's room!

God, in pajamas! I didn't wear a tattoo breast!

What happened after you got drunk last night?

She shook her head vigorously, but the memory had been broken since she was drunk.

Rong Shaochen took advantage of her danger?!

Soul light!

What about the fake couples who say yes?

Lin Xiaowan lifted off the quilt hatefully, and was about to touch her mobile phone to call Rong Shaochen to question, but when her eyes touched the bedside table, she was stunned.

There are dozens of dolls with different looks, hairstyles, and costumes on the table!

Although it's not exactly the same as what I wanted ten years ago, it's clearly a series of styles.

Where did it come from?!

Is it still in a dream?

"Daddy?" She jumped out of bed barefoot and looked around expectantly.

There was no sound in the large room except for a faint echo.

She trembled slightly, picked up a doll, touched it, looked at it, and finally wrapped it in her arms, and cried bitterly.

"What's wrong with you, ma'am?" Jin Guizi gently pushed open the door to see if Lin Xiaowan was awake, and when he heard the cry, he ran in in a panic.

"Where did this come from?"

"This? I don't know, but half an hour ago I saw the boss go upstairs with a big box, I don't know if it contains this. ”

"He? Where is he now? ”

"The boss is downstairs with the little master. Ma'am, do you have a headache? The owner asked me to make you a decanting tea. ”

Lin Xiaowan ignored Jin Guizi, saw that the box was on the side, put the doll in randomly, turned around and rushed downstairs.

Leo and Rong Shaochen were playing a game, and when they saw Lin Xiaowan coming down, they immediately threw down their toys and greeted them: "Mommy, Happy New Year." ”

"Happy New Year, Leo, Mommy has something to say to your father, can you go upstairs with Uncle Yang Yuan first?" Lin Xiaowan forced a smile and spoke softly to Leo.

"Mommy, what's wrong with you?" The clever Leo immediately saw that something was wrong.

"It's okay, let's say a few words." Rong Shaochen comforted Leo and got up slowly, "Let's go to the study and talk." ”

Lin Xiaowan nodded, quickly followed Rong Shaochen into the study, locked the door, and then poured a box of dolls on his desk.

"Who told you to buy it? I said I don't like New Year's gifts! ”

Rong Shaochen glanced at the dolls on the table, and said lightly: "Since you have always wanted this gift in your heart, why don't you muster up the courage to accept it?" ”

"It's none of your business." Even if she was moved in her heart, Lin Xiaowan was unwilling to face it calmly, this was a hurdle in her heart.

"You still want to lock yourself up for the rest of your life?"

"So what?"

"In fact, many things are predestined in the dark, even if you don't have the New Year's gift you want, it will happen sooner or later, and it's not your fault."

"I know, I know, but I just can't." Lin Xiaowan's throat was hard.

"That's because you love your dad so much. He loves you just as much, and if he can see that you have been living so guiltily, do you think he can have peace of mind? ”

"I, I don't want them to worry."

"Since you don't want them to worry, you should open your heart to face everything, and it is cowardly behavior to escape." Rong Shaochen picked up a doll and gently stuffed it into her hand, "Maybe your father is the same as you, he has always remembered it in his heart, and you accept it, which is not only your wish, but also his long-cherished wish, isn't it great?" ”

Lin Xiaowan stared at the doll for a long time, and finally clutched it to his chest and cried bitterly.

"Alright, it's all over." Rong Shaochen took a tissue to help her gently wipe her tears.

Feeling his gentleness, Lin Xiaowan suddenly hugged him and cried even louder: "Why are you so good to me?" ”

"Because...... You're my wife now. Rong Shaochen couldn't find a better reason.

Lin Xiaowan wanted to ask, "Is it just like this", but the phone was not suitable to ring.
