Chapter 527 527 Happy as a child
"It's loose at home, but I'll have to go back later tonight."
"How?"
"I'm going to have dinner here tonight. Later, my mom might have to come over. ”
Bai Yeqing naturally knew who the 'mother' she was talking about, and she also expressed instant surprise. Xia Xingchen said: "I know that my mother is still thinking about my father, if the two of them can really be together again, I also think it's good." ”
Bai Yeqing pulled his lips noncommittally, "If it were you, would you be able to forgive your father?" ”
Xia Xingchen snorted, "You want to try?" ”
"Do you do anything about cocooning yourself?"
The words 'your husband' sound unfamiliar to Xia Xingchen, but there is a particularly wonderful feeling. Just listening, just standing here can't help but be silly.
This man ......
From today on, it will really be her husband. It's not just a tacit thing in mind, it's legitimate. As long as the two of them are going to be together, no one can tear them apart. Well! Even if Lan Zhan escaped from prison, there was nothing he could do about them.
The wind blew, and even the winter wind became less biting.
"Silly fun?" Bai Yeqing could feel her emotions through the phone.
"Nope." Xia Xingchen came back to his senses and asked him with a smile, "Are you busy at night?" Would you like to come over for dinner? ”
Bai Yeqing didn't answer immediately, as if he was flipping through the itinerary, and said after a while: "There is still an itinerary at night." ”
"Well, it's okay, we'll see you at home in the evening."
Before he hung up the phone, Xia Guopeng came out of it. Excited, his face lit up.
Xia Xingchen said to Bai Yeqing on the phone, and the two hung up the phone. Then I heard Xia Guopeng say: "Xingchen, your mother agreed to come over!" She said yes! ”
Xia Guopeng, who is at this age, is as happy as a child because of a meal with his ex-wife.
Xia Xingchen sighed, but couldn't tell how he felt.
The phrase 'if you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place', it really fits the current situation.
Xia Guopeng was very happy, and after saying a few words to Xia Xingchen, he went back to the villa to change clothes. Because I retired earlier, I have been wearing some comfortable home clothes at home these days, but now I deliberately took out my shirt and suit and put them on, which looks much more energetic.
After changing clothes, I went to the kitchen again, saying that I would cook a few dishes in the evening.
It was almost time for dinner when Shen Min arrived. I brought up a gift.
Xia Xingchen and the old lady went out to pick it up. The old lady had not seen this former daughter-in-law for many, many years, and now that she saw it again, she unconsciously turned red when she thought of what was wrong with her now.
"It's good to go back. It's good to go back. The old lady muttered, "Come in and sit." It's rare to have such a lively year this year. ”
In previous years, in addition to the two female relatives in the family, there were many other people who came to walk around. But this year, Xia Guopeng retired, and even those friends who walked around in the past never came.
"Mom, sit here." Xia Xingchen pulled Shen Min to sit down on the sofa. She could see that her mother was also exquisitely dressed today, her hair was held high in a hosta, and she was wearing a cheongsam and cloak, which was quite exquisite. Although it is no longer as young as when he left, the charm is still there, and it has a different taste.
The old lady looked at the daughter-in-law for a long time, and there were all kinds of emotions in her heart for a while. Shen Min calmly let her watch and didn't dodge. After a long time, the old lady realized that she looked away, as if casually asking, "Xingchen, where is your father?" ”
"In the kitchen, I said that I wanted to make my mother's favorite kung pao chicken and prawns for my mother."
When Xia Xingchen replied, the old lady's eyes looked at Shen Min from time to time, as if she was probing her emotions this time. But the emotions on Shen Min's face were always faint, and people couldn't see any clues.
He didn't seem to be moved.
Xia Xingchen didn't know what his mother was thinking about coming here this time.
Xia Dabai came in from the outside at this time, and it was cold outside, and his little face was red from the cold. Originally, in this family, even he was not very comfortable, but when he saw his grandmother at this time, he immediately relaxed a lot.
"Grandma."
Running towards her, the person was lying on Shen Min's lap.
"How did you run out and freeze yourself like this?" Shen Min covered Xia Dabai's little face with his hand distressedly, Xia Dabai grinned, "Dabai is not cold." Grandma, why are you here too? ”
"It's all white here, don't you welcome grandma to come?" Shen Min asked deliberately. Xia Xingchen reached over and touched the child's clothes, afraid that he would sweat outside for a long time and soak his underwear.
"Welcome. I knew my grandmother was coming, so we came together. Xia Dabai's voice was crisp, and the atmosphere was rarely much more active.
The heating is also gradually coming, and the temperature in the hall has also risen a little, and it is not so cold.
The old lady watched from the side, the two big and one small three people on the opposite side were as close and lively as a family, and then looked at the cold and lonely appearance on their side, and felt a little uncomfortable. She said abruptly: "You three sit, I'll go into the kitchen and call Guopeng out." ”
"I'm sorry for you, Mom." Shen Min was still very polite to the old lady. However, in this politeness, there is more alienation.
The sound of 'Mom' in the old lady's ears made her feel even more embarrassed.
…………………………
When Xia Guopeng saw Shen Min, there was a touch of surprise in his eyes.
Xia Xingchen could see that he was a little nervous tonight, and he had been busy with everything he could, a little eager and flattering. In contrast, Shen Min didn't have much to say.
After eating, I sat on the sofa and peeled the fruit myself.
He peeled the mango beautifully, put it on a small fork, and sent it to Shen Min to flatter. Shen Min looked down at the yellow mango, and his heart was bitter. Mango is her favorite fruit, she used to like it, but she rarely eats it, she thinks it's too embarrassing to eat. Later, Xia Guopeng didn't know where he learned the trick of peeling mangoes, and he always made it exquisite for her.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, she still remembers those small details so clearly.
It's just that the clearer it is, the more uncomfortable it becomes.
"Why don't you eat it?" Xia Guopeng looked at her with some expectation, and then, seeing that she kept her eyes on the mango, he smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't peeled a mango like this for many years, I thought I ......had forgotten about it."
"Grandma, don't you eat? You don't eat that big white food, okay? "Xia Dabai is a foodie, and when he saw the beautiful mango there, he was already greedy. The little mouth pokes and pokes with the little fingers in it.
"Little gluttonous cat! Why is it so unproductive? Xia Xingchen pulled his little finger out of his mouth.
Xia Guopeng smiled, "It's my grandfather who snubbed you." I'll cut one for you right away. ”
