Before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is put on the table, the whole family has to go to set off the cannon first. Mu Liang was wearing a coat and stood between his parents, waiting to see. This is the custom of Yucheng, and firecrackers should be set off before dinner, indicating that the wind and rain will be smooth and the family will be safe in the coming year.

Fu Jinchen lit a cigarette in his hand, handed the burning cigarette butt to the core of the firecracker, and the spark flashed, like a firecracker, like a fire snake, crackling.

Fu Jinchen quickly got up and pulled Mu Liang into his arms with his hand. He opened his hands, landed his palms on Mu Liang's ears, and gently covered them. The sound of firecrackers is very loud, revealing the joy of the New Year.

Not far from this small farm yard, a black car is parked. The driver turned off the car and apparently had been parked for a long time.

Lin Qiang sat in the co-pilot, looking at the Mu family in the small courtyard in front of her, with a gloomy look in her eyes. Even though she is just an outsider, she can still feel the rich happiness of this family.

Is there anything more satisfying in this world than a happy life for the whole family? She sighed heavily and lowered her gaze, the taste in her heart mixed. At this moment, she gradually realized that before sending the child away, Song Qinghua had told her and entrusted.

In the back seat of the car, Song Rufeng sat quietly, looking at the family in the distance, with a gloomy expression.

After the cannon on the ground was released, Mu Yi took the cigarette in Fu Jinchen's hand and lit the firecracker hanging outside the courtyard gate. He lit the cannon and ran back quickly, Mu Liang took his hand and dragged Mu Yi to his side.

The movement of the firecrackers was louder than before. Mu Liang covered his ears, ran to his parents, lowered his head and threw himself into Cai Yongfen's arms, hugging her waist tightly.

Cai Yongfen took off the scarf around her neck, wrapped it around her daughter, and reached out to hug her tightly.

After the firecrackers were set, Mu Yi checked them all over and confirmed that the sparks were extinguished before coming back. He walked up to his parents, put his left hand around his mother, and his right hand around his father, shouting, "New Year's Eve!" ”

In the past, the Chinese New Year was the happiest time for the children, Mu Liang's mind moved slightly, jumped on Mu Yi's back, and the sisters and brothers faced their parents and said in unison, "Mom and Dad, Happy New Year!" ”

"Okay." Mu Zhannian nodded, full of emotion.

Mu Liang pointed his finger at his younger brother's forehead, bowed his head and taught him, "Stinky boy, you are one year older again during the Chinese New Year!" Let me tell you, if you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you must not forget your mother, otherwise you will see how I beat you! ”

Hearing this, Mu Yi's dark eyes sank. He quickly hid the stiff smile at the corner of his mouth, reached out to support his sister, and quipped: "Sister, you seem to be heavy again!" ”

"Huh?"

Mu Liang changed his face, leaned on his back and raised his hand to hit him, but he didn't use any force, "Are you looking for a fight?" ”

"Dad save me! Mom save me! My sister beat me again! ”

Mu Yi pretended to yell, just like playing with his sister when he was a child.

"Haha-"

There was continuous laughter in the small courtyard, and Cai Yongfen looked at a pair of children, and her eyes gradually turned red.

The sisters and brothers were affectionate, and Fu Jinchen's face was slightly gloomy, obviously unhappy. He saw the right time and pulled Mu Liang off Mu Yi's back and hugged him in his arms.

Mu Liang didn't notice his expression, and looked up at him, his black eyes were sparkling and moving. Fu Jinchen squinted, naturally lowered his head, and kissed her on the cheek.

"Ahem!"

Mu Yi smiled evilly, immediately wrapped his arms around his parents' shoulders, and urged, "Let's go in first." ”

Everyone turned around and entered the house knowingly, Mu Liang immediately blushed, and scolded Mu Yi in his heart. This stinky boy, let's take revenge!

"Let's go in too." Mu Liang opened the door and dragged Fu Jinchen into the house.

As soon as the door was closed, the deafening sound of firecrackers outside immediately rang out. The surrounding neighbors came out one after another to fire cannons, and for a while the cannons rang out. Although it was through the door and window, the sound was still very loud, and the glass buzzed.

The daughter and son-in-law all went home for the New Year, Mu Zhannian was happy, and he bought enough firecrackers. Fu Jinchen didn't wear a coat when he went to fire the cannon just now, he shrunk his shoulders, hugged Mu Liang and said with a smile: "Eat quickly, I'll take you to play with good things after eating." ”

"What's good?" Mu Hao blinked curiously.

Fu Jinchen pursed his thin lips, obviously not wanting to say anything. He wrapped his arms around Mu Liang's waist and pulled her to the table and sat down, "You'll know in a while." ”

Depend on! This man still sells off?!

Cai Yongfen brought the soup out of the kitchen and hurriedly beckoned the children to sit down, "Sit down and eat it while it's hot." ”

The Mu family naturally does not have so many rules, Fu Jinchen picked up the chopsticks with a smile and was the first to start. Mu Zhannian saw that his son-in-law was not restrained, and his eyes could not hide his joy.

He only has one son, Mu Yi, and they all say that his son-in-law is half a son, but Mu Zhannian regards his son-in-law as a son from the bottom of his heart!

"Jin Chen, taste the wine made by Dad." Mu Zhannian opened the sealed wine jar, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not decrease.

"Okay." Fu Jinchen didn't shirk at all, he hurriedly took the wine jar over, and poured the wine for Mu Zhannian first.

"Brother-in-law, bring me a drink." Mu Yi put down his chopsticks and begged for wine with a wine glass. Usually his parents don't let him get wet, but when the boy is older, he will always come into contact, especially tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve, Mu Zhannian did not stop his son.

Fu Jinchen smiled and took the initiative to fill his brother-in-law.

"Xie Lu Xie brother-in-law." Mu Yi got cheap and immediately sold well.

"I want it too!"

At this time, how can Mu Liang be missing. She also changed to a larger wine glass, and her eyes lit up at the wine made by her father. She has a good amount of alcohol, most of which is related to Mu Zhannian. He likes to make wine in his spare time, and he has held Mu Liang in his arms since he was a child, and always fed her with chopsticks dipped in wine, and then gradually fed the amount of wine.

Fu Jinchen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mu Liang, and after seeing the essence in her eyes, he put down the wine jar, picked up the juice on the side and poured it for his mother-in-law first, and then poured her a glass as well.

"I want wine!" Seeing him hand over a glass of orange juice, Mu Liang's delicate brows frowned.

Fu Jinchen's thin lips were pursed, and his tone was strong, "If you don't have wine, just drink this." ”

"Why is there no wine?" Mu Liang fried his hair, "Aren't there many more!" ”

Glancing at the wine-scented wine jar, Fu Jinchen pursed his lips and smiled, his palm fell on the top of her head, and said with a smile: "That's ours, it has nothing to do with you, you can only drink juice!" ”

"Fu Jinchen—"

Mu Liang was furious.

Fu Jinchen had no fear, turned his head to find a helper, his eyes fell on Cai Yongfen's face, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Mom, she is so fierce!" ”

"That's right," Mu Yi took a bite of food, and followed to help, "Brother-in-law, let me tell you, my sister is quite good to you, usually she either beats or scolds me, or else she will ......"

"Whoa!"

Before Mu Yi's words were finished, Mu Liang had already grabbed his ears.

"Sister, light up, it hurts!" Seeing that Mu Yi was suffering, Fu Jinchen shut up and didn't dare to hit the muzzle.

Children laughing and laughing is the happiest time in the family. Cai Yongfen pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Liangliang, listen to Jin Chen, he is for your good." ”

When his mother spoke, Mu Liang could only pout and sit down. She stared at the table full of dishes and gritted her teeth secretly. Whew, there are good dishes but no good wine, how can she eat this meal!

Looking at her daughter's puffing little face, Mu Zhannian poured her a small cup and reached out to hand it over, "Only this one." His tone was infinitely doting.

Mu Liang was grateful, and his eyes narrowed with a smile, "It's still my dad who loves me." ”

The people around him were smiling, and Fu Jinchen did not continue to stop him. He picked up the chopsticks and ate very unceremoniously, from childhood to adulthood, it was the first time for him to celebrate the New Year in such a family, although this place was small, but the atmosphere was many times warmer than the Fu family's mansion.

In the past, there were many people and rules at home for the New Year, and it seemed to be prosperous. But behind every smile, there is a coy face, he is numb to see, and he will become like that after a long time.

"I wish Mom and Dad good health and happiness every day!"

Mu Liang stood up, his eyes fell on his parents opposite, he stretched out his hand to pull Mu Yi up, and his eyes gradually reddened: "We have grown up, you don't have to work so hard in the future, it will be our turn to take care of you in the future." ”

After a pause, she held Mu Yi's hand tightly and promised, "I will take care of my brother." ”

Mu Liang held the wine glass in both hands, looked at his parents with tearful eyes, and had a thousand words in his heart, but after all, he could only turn into one sentence, "Mom and Dad, I love you and will always love our home!" ”

Cai Yongfen trembled her lips and opened her face, bursting into tears. Maybe because she had something in her heart, she was inexplicably sad. The children are filial and sensible, Mu Zhannian is extremely pleased, and he is also full of emotion for a while.

Mu Yi wrapped his arms around his sister's shoulders and said the same: "Yes, I will always love you." ”

When the words fell, he seemed to think of something, hurriedly pulled Fu Jinchen up, and said with a smile: "We have another brother-in-law in our family this year." ”

Mu Yi stared at Fu Jinchen and quipped: "Brother-in-law, I only have one sister, although she is a little tougher, but in the end she is a woman, I can tell you, don't bully my sister, otherwise I won't let you go!" ”

Sweat!

Was this a warning to him?

Fu Jinchen raised his eyebrows and muttered in a low voice, "Just like your sister, who bullies whom?!" ”

"Haha-"

The atmosphere was originally very sensational, but because of Fu Jinchen's words, the whole family laughed. Mu Liang bit his lip and glared at him fiercely, but the arc of his red lips rose.

Outside the small courtyard, Song Rufeng stood on crutches for a long time. Through the window, he could see the light in the room and hear the laughter that filled the room.

Although the weather was cold, the dim light in the small room, and the bursts of laughter from the bottom of their hearts could not hide the happiness in their hearts.

"Chairman," Lin Qiang stepped forward to help Song Rufeng and asked softly, "Do you need me to knock on the door?" ”

The swaying figure in front of the window couldn't help but make his heart tighten. Song Rufeng pursed his lips with a gloomy expression.

After a long time, he shook his head and turned back to the car.

Lin Qiang could understand his mood at this time, she sighed silently, glanced at the small courtyard that was simple but full of love, and could only turn around and leave.

The driver started the engine and slowly drove away.

In the back seat of the car, Song Rufeng leaned back on the seat, closed his eyes gently, and sighed in his heart. He came here tonight, he wanted to recognize Mu Liang, but when he saw the smile on the corner of Mu Liang's mouth when he stood beside his family, he couldn't muster up the courage to step forward.

What was he going to say? And what can be done for this child?

Is it compensated?

Even though the Song family has tens of millions of family businesses, what he can give to his granddaughter can only be those properties. Song Rufeng smiled, he never felt that he had failed, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that if he removed those assets, what could he have?

Money, fame, status.

These are all fleeting clouds, life does not bring death, and death does not take away. At his age, what use do he need to have things outside his body!

Song Rufeng's expression was silent, and his sad mood lingered. People are old, but they hope that their children and grandchildren will be in groups and enjoy the joy of family, but he can give Mu Liang a mountain of gold and silver, but he can't give her a complete home!

In the villa halfway up the mountain, the lights are bright. The maids put the exquisite Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the table, and Song Qinghua pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at the dishes on the table, and was quite satisfied.

Song Aiyu ran back in her coat, her nose was red from the cold, "Mom, why hasn't my grandfather come back yet?" ”

She pulled out a chair and sat down, glanced at Song Qinghua, and asked, "Where did grandpa go?" What important friend must meet tonight? ”

Song Qinghua's eyes were calm, and he ordered the servant to start the meal, "Okay, let's eat first." ”

"Don't wait for grandpa?" Song Aiyu raised her eyebrows.

Song Qinghua's eyes were lowered, his eyes were staring at the food plate in front of him, eating indifferently.

Seeing that she was emotionally lost, Song Aiyu looked away, and her red lips tightened.

Not long after, the sound of cars sounded in the courtyard. Lin Qiang personally sent Song Rufeng back before leaving.

"Dad!"

Song Qinghua took a step forward and wanted to reach out to support his father, but he pushed him away.

"Grandpa, we are waiting for you to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together." Song Aiyu smiled and took his arm and said, "Why did you come back?" ”

Suddenly, Song Rufeng patted the back of Song Aiyu's hand, and his tone revealed a little tiredness, "Good boy, grandpa doesn't want to eat, you go eat." ”

Looking at the back of his father turning around and walking into the study, Song Qinghua's eyes moved, and he raised his heels. But before she entered the house, Song Rufeng had already closed the door with a calm face and didn't let anyone approach.

Song Qinghua saw his father's lost expression, and his expression sank. She stood outside the study for a long time before she had to turn around and walk upstairs.

"Mom, you haven't finished your meal yet."

After a pause, Song Qinghua raised his eyebrows and said, "Mom has a headache and doesn't want to eat, you eat more!" ”

"Okay." In front of the round table in the restaurant, Song Aiyu stared at Song Qinghua's distant back, and the smile on the corner of her mouth completely converged. One of them went back to the room, and the other locked himself in the study, which was all avoiding her?!

"All of you go down!"

The servants obeyed her and departed.

Picking up the mobile phone on the table, Song Aiyu walked to the window and dialed the phone, "Where is Grandpa going tonight?" ”

The person on the other end of the phone reported in a timely and accurate manner, "The chairman went to Yucheng, and he stayed outside the house of a person surnamed Mu for two hours, and then returned the same way. ”

Surname Mu?

Song Aiyu hung up the phone with a calm face, and a sneer slipped across the corners of her mouth. Does grandpa want to bring Mu Liang back to the Song family? What can you do tonight, I just looked at it, but I didn't say anything?!

Putting down the phone, Song Aiyu turned around and sat back in the chair, and picked up the chopsticks again to eat. Although she was the only one to eat this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, she also had to eat very happily.

The princess of the Song family, you can't let people see jokes anytime and anywhere!

……

The Chinese New Year's Eve meal was so full, not to mention Mu Liang, even if Fu Jinchen usually eats very little, he has eaten twice as much tonight. Mu Yi fell on the sofa and shouted, "It's so full!" ”

Mu Liang ate a lot at noon, and ate a lot at night. She could barely sit down, rubbing her full appetite and wandering around the room. Emma, if she follows this eating method, she will definitely gain weight during the holidays these days.

The dishes on the table were empty, and Cai Yongfen couldn't close her mouth happily. She didn't let the children interfere or her husband help, so she took the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen alone and cleaned them up slowly.

The sound of firecrackers outside continued, Fu Jinchen stood at the window and looked at it, pulled Mu Liang up with his hand, and said, "Let's go out to play." ”

"Where to go?" Mu Liang asked him.

Taking off his coat, Fu Jinchen draped it over her shoulders, "By the sea." ”

This weather to go to the beach? Mu Liang pouted, but did not refuse. She said hello to her parents and followed Fu Jinchen out of the house.

Fu Jinchen drove the car out and drove along the path to the beach. The sea level at night is calm and dark. Especially on a night like this, there is no one on the beach.

Mu Liang tightened his coat and rubbed his cheeks with both hands, "Hey, what are you doing at the beach so cold?" ”

The man took off the scarf, wrapped it around her neck, opened the trunk of the car with a smile, moved the fireworks inside one by one, and said, "Set off fireworks." ”

Mu Liang didn't expect him to bring these things, she stared at those fireworks, and suddenly remembered that the night before their wedding, it was also on the beach, and Fu Jinchen bloomed the sky full of fireworks for her.

"How do you put it again?" Mu Liang pursed his lips and asked him with a smile. That ultimate romance, once is enough.

Fu Jinchen was stunned, his deep eyes flashed slightly, and he said nonsense: "I didn't set off the fireworks last time. ”

The reason? Mu Liang smiled dumbly, but because of his words, the corners of his mouth flashed with a sweet smile.

Fu Jinchen held a cigarette in his hand, bent down and squatted in front of the fireworks, because the light was dim, he used a mobile phone flashlight to illuminate it, and laboriously lit the side-by-side fireworks.

Bump –

Fu Jinchen hugged the person in his arms, staring at the fire in her eyes, and narrowed his dark eyes. The last time the sky was full of fireworks, he was just to complete, a promise to another woman.

Bumper Bumper –

Fireworks are lit one after the other like fire trees in the quiet night sky. Fu Jinchen hugged the person in his arms tightly, and the expression in his eyes was gentle. Mu Liang, this night's fireworks were set off for you by myself.

……

At that time, a villa in the suburbs of Minghai City.

European-style single-family villa with luxurious decoration. The crystal chandeliers in the hall are dazzling.

"Dad, eat more!" Mo Jie rushed back from Hong Kong for the New Year, and Mo Jin only had this daughter with his ex-wife in his early years, and he was especially fond of her.

"Xiaojie, you try the sauce duck." Shu Yunge personally served the vegetables to Mo Jie, but before the dishes reached the bowl, she avoided them with a cold face.

"I'm sorry, I just like to eat my mother's sauce duck." Mo Jie's eyes were very cold, and there was no smile on his face.

The smile on the corner of Shu Yunge's mouth stiffened for a moment.

"Xiaojie!" Mo Jin frowned, and his tone was slightly reproachful.

Mo Jie lowered her head and fiddled with the rice in the bowl, her voice was very low, "Dad, I'm coming back to see you for the New Year, not to see your face!" ”

Faced with his daughter's incomprehension, Mo Jin had a headache. However, he only has this one daughter, and he has been doting on her since he was a child, so he naturally can't bear to blame. He had no choice but to pick up vegetables for Shu Yunge and try to appease her: "It's hard work, eat more!" ”

"Thank you." Shu Yunge smiled and raised his hand to give him vegetables.

"I'm full!"

Mo Jie threw away his chopsticks and glared at Shu Yunge fiercely, his eyes full of disgust. She turned, staggered upstairs, and slammed the door shut.

"This kid!"

Mo Jin shook his head helplessly, and turned to look at Shu Yunge's apologetic gaze, "Don't worry about her, she is still a child, and she has been spoiled by me since she was a child." ”

Shu Yunge lowered his head to eat expressionlessly, unable to see his joy or anger.

For the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the maids cleaned up the table. Mo Jie changed into a Chanel suit, ran downstairs happily, stood in front of Mo Jin, and asked, "Dad, am I beautiful?" ”

"Pretty and beautiful!" Mo Jin's eyes were full of smiles and he couldn't stop praising them.

Mo Jie took his father's arm and said coquettishly: "Dad, I asked a friend to buy me two tickets for the revue, let's go out quickly, it's going to be late if it's too late." ”

"Revue?" Mo Jin leaned back against the sofa, patted his wife beside him, and said, "You go and see Yun Ge, she likes it." ”

"Don't!" Mo Jie's face sank.

Shu Yunge raised his face and said softly: "Go and see, I've been preparing things for the New Year all afternoon, I'm a little tired, and I want to go to bed early for a while." ”

Hearing her words, Mo Jin reached out and touched her forehead, and said with concern: "Are you sick?" Look at your bad face. ”

Shu Yunge pulled down his hand, "No, it's just a little tired." ”

"Okay then." Mo Jin stood up and didn't force her, "Then you rest early." ”

Taking the cashmere scarf, Shu Yunge carefully put it on for her husband and said with a smile: "Have fun." ”

Mo Jin nodded, and told her to rest early before going out. Mo Jie came out after him, glanced at Shu Yunge who was standing beside him, and snorted coldly: "Don't pretend in front of my father, it's disgusting to watch." ”

Then, she ran forward and grabbed Mo Jin's arm, and the father and daughter left with a smile and a smile.

The driver drove the car out of the villa, and Shu Yunge turned around. She picked a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and carried it back upstairs. Gently closing the bedroom door, she pushed open the floor door and stepped out onto the open-air balcony.

The moon is bright tonight, and the faint sound of firecrackers around is constant. She stood in front of the balcony on the second floor, and as far as the eye could see, the lights were on in the entire villa area, and the laughter continued.

The look in Shu Yunge's eyes was gloomy, and the taste in his heart was complicated. Since she was six years old, she has never enjoyed the warmth of the family, growing up in an orphanage, she has been wronged, and she understands the warmth and coldness of people prematurely.

Sucking his nose hard, Shu Yunge raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. She unscrewed the cap of the red wine bottle and poured a large sip of wine on her head, but unfortunately the sweet taste entered her mouth, and she could only taste the bitterness.

Knock –

The alarm clock on the wall rang, Shu Yunge stared at the pointer towards twelve o'clock, and his whole heart ached without warning.

Five years ago today, on that cold Chinese New Year's Eve night in Canada. In the midst of thousands of people, she bumped into those warm eyes and plunged into them.

Fu Jinchen, Jin Chen......

Shu Yunge sat in front of the balcony, holding the wine bottle in his arms, his raised cheeks staggered with tears. She shuddered and took out her phone, and pressed the number number by number.

Before going out, Mu Zhannian told his daughter and son-in-law to come back before twelve o'clock. Fu Jinchen pinched the time and didn't dare to delay. He parked the car in the yard, led the shivering man, and hugged her into the house.

The mobile phone in his pocket kept vibrating, Fu Jinchen took it out and glanced at the number, but it was an unfamiliar number. He didn't want to answer, but the phone kept ringing.

Suddenly, Fu Jinchen's sharp eyes narrowed, as if he had guessed something.

"You go in first." Letting go of the person in his arms, Fu Jinchen took off his coat and draped it on Mu Liang's body.

Mu Liang saw him holding his mobile phone, and thought it was a phone at home, so he went back to the house first.

"Hey!"

Shu Yunge cried with joy, "It's me." ”

There was silence on both sides, and they could make out each other's voices the moment the phone was answered.

"Don't hang up!" Shu Yunge was anxious to stop him, she bit her lip and choked up: "Jin Chen, do you remember, tonight five years ago?" ”

Hearing this, Fu Jinchen's restrained eyes fell silent, and he held the five fingers of the mobile phone and slowly tightened them.
