1-23 Life is sad and painful

The topic did not continue.

Under the greeting of Mu Qinglan and her mother, the table was quickly filled with dishes, and it seemed that they were indeed some home-cooked dishes.

"It's time to eat, don't sit over there, come and sit down. ”

Mu Qinglan beckoned everyone to sit with a happy smile on her face.

The crowd took their seats one by one.

"It's rare for a family to sit down and eat together today, why don't you have some wine?"

The third father's father looked at Mu Qinglan.

Mu Qinglan smiled and got up to get it.

After a while, he came out with a bottle of liquor and poured a shallow half a glass for the third child's father, and the aroma of the wine was overflowing in an instant, and it seemed to be a good bottle of wine.

"If you're not in good health, just drink a little bit and enjoy it. ”

The third child's father didn't say anything, picked up the wine glass and looked at Mu Qinglan and said, "Today is my fiftieth birthday." First of all, I would like to thank Qinglan, who personally cooks a table of good dishes for me every birthday, and has always liked your dishes for so many years. Come, drink a little. ”

Mu Qinglan smiled and poured herself some red wine.

"As long as you like it, I'm willing to do it for you every day. ”

As he spoke, the two touched their glasses.

"Secondly, Mom, thank you for giving birth to such a good daughter as Qinglan. I have to say this every birthday, and I have said it for so many years, and I hope it will continue every year in the future. ”

The third child's father looked at Mu Qinglan's mother with a smile.

"Whereever, Qinglan can marry you, it's her blessing. ”

She has obviously experienced such a scene many times.

"Then, this last bit of wine, I want to drink it with Lu Cheng, I rely on the old and sell the old, so I will call you Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, my uncle is very happy today, you brought Yaozu to celebrate my birthday with me. Come, Yaozu is also together, let's drink one. The father of the third child raised his glass.

Lu Cheng stood up, raised the red wine in his hand, and said, "It's good that Uncle is happy, let's all respect you together, and I hope you will have this year and today." As he spoke, he pulled the third child beside him.

The third child reluctantly stood up and picked up the wine.

Mu Qinglan and her mother picked up the wine glasses, and Ma Xiaorong picked up the drinks in front of them and said, "Happy birthday." ”

Then sat down.

"Happy today, family, Xiao Lu is Yaozu's good brother, and he is also his own family, don't be polite to your own family, what do you like to eat, do it yourself, the old man won't give you food." ”

"That's right, Lu Cheng, Yaozu eat more and taste my craftsmanship. ”

Lu Cheng nodded and said okay. Then pick up a piece of braised fish and put it in your mouth, it tastes really good.

"This tastes so good, how do you do it? You don't know, my parents don't know how to cook, and they only eat a few dishes, and they don't taste very good. If my mother had your craft, then I would probably be the same as Yaozu now. ”

Lu Cheng was amazed.

"If you like it, eat more. ”

Mu Qinglan smiled a little shyly, obviously she didn't expect Lu Cheng to be so good at complimenting.

"Haha, look, Xiao Lu doesn't like it too, and keeps saying that I lied to you. Xiao Lu, you're welcome, eat more. ”

The third father's father was obviously very happy when he heard Lu Cheng's words.

The third child rolled his eyes, obviously thinking that it was not Mu Qinglan's credit to be fat like this, but he didn't say anything.

A home-cooked meal passed in Lu Cheng's gag.

After eating, Lu Cheng felt that he was really tired to death, if he didn't speak, he would be embarrassed, if he spoke, the meal would not be delicious, and he would have to make some atmosphere.

The whole time I felt like a host. kept enlivening the atmosphere, for fear that if one didn't pay attention, the third child and his father would be able to quarrel.

The third child is really giving face today, after entering the house, except for scolding his father at the beginning, he never communicated with his father again, and he didn't eat much, even less than Lu Cheng, who was also a part-time host. I just drank a few drinks, and the dishes on the table didn't move.

Regarding the performance of the third child, others were not surprised and didn't say anything.

Only Mu Qinglan's mother said in a weird way: "Why are you sitting here without eating?"

The voice was very small, Lu Cheng heard it, and he believed that the third child also heard it.

However, to Lu Cheng's surprise, the third child was not angry, pretending not to hear it, and ate some chicken thighs that Xiao Rong gave him, and only ate the dishes that Xiao Rong gave him.

Mu Qinglan pulled her mother a little unhappily, glared, and she didn't say anything more.

When leaving, Xiao Rong was in the arms of the third child and refused to come down, and the third child had no choice but to hold it.

Mu Qinglan followed.

"Brother, grandma has no malicious intentions, don't be unhappy. Xiao Rong leaned on the arms of the third child and whispered.

Lu Cheng looked at Ma Xiaorong with some surprise, and began to sigh in his heart that the little girl's emotional intelligence was really high and terrifying.

It may be called a coincidence to resolve the embarrassment between the third child and his father before, but now, it is obvious that she wants to resolve the grievances between the third child and her grandmother.

"No, my brother is not angry, as long as Rong'er is happy. The third hugged the little girl tighter.

"That's good, but I've told my brother many times, don't call me Rong'er, why can't you remember it all the time?"

"Okay, I won't be called Rong'er in the future, I'll be called Rongrong. ”

"Brother Lu can't be called Rong'er. ”

The little girl poked her head out of the third child's arms, looked at Lu Cheng and said.

Lu Cheng laughed awkwardly, he called Rong'er maybe just because it was smooth, so he said, "Okay, Rongrong!"

The little girl laughed happily.

"Rongrong, my brother is going back, you have to be obedient, my brother will come to see you when he is free. Standing in front of the car, the third child looked at Ma Xiaorong with some doting and said.

"Well, my brother must come often, otherwise Rong Rong will miss my brother. ”

After speaking, he kissed the third child on the face.

"Okay, brother remembered. As he spoke, he put Ma Xiaorong down.

"Rongrong, Brother Lu is also gone. After speaking, Lu Cheng and the third child got into the car together.

Before closing the door, I saw Mu Qinglan pulling Ma Xiaorong and nodding to Lu Cheng. saw Ma Xiaorong waving goodbye to them.

Lu Cheng also waved his hand, and then Zhang Quan closed the car door.

Soon, the car drove away from the courtyard and into the deep night.

In the car.

The third child's face was a little pale.

"What's wrong, isn't it comfortable?" Lu Cheng asked with some concern.

The third child shook his head and said in a low voice, "This is his last birthday!"

Lu Cheng was shocked, he didn't expect the third child to say such a thing at this time.

finally knew why the third child finally agreed to come.

It's just that now he doesn't know how to pick up the words of the third child.

He doesn't know the third child's father, although he has a good impression of Mu Qinglan, but it is only a two-sided relationship, how can he judge her as a person?

But the firmness in the old man's words, Lu Cheng could hear it.

For so many years of brothers, even if they disguise themselves in front of outsiders, in front of him, the third child has always been the original third child and has not changed.

After a while, Lu Cheng said, "What about Rong Rong?"

The third child was silent.

Lu Cheng didn't ask again.

He knew that the third child must have thought about this issue a long time ago. He asked, just to let the third child think about it again.

Ma Xiaorong is an angelic girl, and hurting her is something that Lu Cheng is extremely unwilling to do, even if it is indirect.

But if he wants to help the third child, it will make her lose both parents.

Perhaps, this angelic girl will never smile again.

"My name is Ma Xiaorong, smiling Rong. ”

This sentence has been lingering in Lu Cheng's mind for the past two days, and every time he thinks of it, he thinks of Ma Xiaorong's sweet smile.

He really doesn't want to destroy such beauty, there is too much ugliness in this world, and there are not many such beauty.

But the revenge of the third child cannot be avenged. After so many years, the mother of the third child has been burned to ashes, how can she go for an autopsy again.

Back then, they didn't suspect the autopsy report, and now it's impossible to find clues again.

Lu Cheng also believed that since he learned the truth about his mother's death, the third child must have sent someone to investigate, but after so many years, what he found must be innocuous things.

In the end, the third child could only hire someone to kill his father and Mu Qinglan!

If this is the case, the third child will face the sanction of the law. Although it may not be possible to find the third child here, it is not impossible.

This is the reason why Lu Cheng followed.

He hoped to use his ability to make the two die without realizing it.

Although he had hesitated before, it was better than letting the third child do it.

But now, the appearance of Ma Xiaorong has also put Lu Cheng in a dilemma.

Perhaps, not only the third child needs to think about it. Lu Cheng felt that he also needed to think about it.

He couldn't stay with the third child all the time, although he knew that the third child wouldn't mind. As soon as he leaves, the third child may be able to do it immediately.

And Lu Cheng believes that even if he stays by the third child's side, maybe it won't be long before the flame of the third child's revenge will be completely burned, and he won't be able to stop it at that time.

It was quite late when I returned to Qingyang Annex.

But Lu Cheng still saw Lan Shanqing. This clean, youthful woman.

For the past two days, she has lived in another courtyard, so as not to run back and forth, which can be regarded as the welfare that Lu Cheng fought for her. Lu Cheng could see that this girl had a good impression of the third child.

Of course, this also hurts Lu Cheng, the third fat man is liked by others, his normal height, normal weight, and good-looking man is actually not taken by anyone!

"It's back. I asked Luther to prepare some food, so go eat some. Lan Shanqing looked at the third child whose face was not very good and said.

For the unpleasantness that happened to the third child on his father's side, he obviously heard or guessed something.

The third nodded.

There was indeed some food prepared on the table, and it was relatively light.

"This is green vegetable porridge, I asked Luther to put some sea cucumbers, you can drink some. Lan Shanqing said that he had already filled a bowl for the third child.

The third child took two sips, then put down the bowl.

"Why? Isn't it to your liking? Drink some ......of this soup," he said, standing up and going to serve the soup.

The third child stopped her and said, "I don't have much appetite, it's not early, you go and rest." There's a lot of work to do tomorrow. You're a secretary, not a babysitter. ”

Lan Shanqing's face remained unchanged, and he filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng blinked his eyes and drank silently.

"It's not a problem for you to not eat or drink like this. Lan Shanqing said softly.

"You don't have to worry about my business, no more nonsense, get out of my way!"

The third child slapped the table angrily and walked away without looking back.

Lu Cheng continued to drink the soup silently. After the footsteps of the third child disappeared, he raised his head.

"Why are you doing this?" Lu Cheng sighed.

Lan Shanqing smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay to let him let out the anger, it's not a matter of holding it back." Mr. Lu, spend more time with him. The bitterness in his heart may only be resolved by you. ”

After speaking, Lan Shanqing began to clean up silently.

A table of things, the third child just drank two mouthfuls of porridge......

Lu Cheng looked at Lan Shanqing, said You should rest early, and then went upstairs.
