"Eat slowly, eat slowly, the dumplings have just been put into the pot."
Liang Meijuan reminded Luo Xuan not to burn herself while looking at the old Chen father and son.
Unlike Chen Hansheng's "sharp tongue and heavy heart", Queen Mother Liang is a typical "sharp tongue and soft heart". If someone stood at the door of her house and said that there was no place to eat New Year's Eve dinner during the Chinese New Year, Queen Mother Liang would definitely serve a bowl of dumplings.
If this person was still a girl, she would go to the same high school and university as Chen Hansheng.
This bowl of dumplings can be eaten at home.
If you know that this girl has always liked Chen Hansheng, then congratulations.
In addition to dumplings, you can also eat a bowl of glutinous rice dumplings.
Although Liang Meijuan beat and scolded Chen Hansheng, she thought that the other party's vision was still good when a girl liked her son.
Such a real mother.
"After returning home during the winter vacation, they quarreled and smashed things at home all day long, and sometimes even fought."
Luo Xuan was indeed hungry, and she finished a plate of dumplings in a few bites, and also explained the process of her parents' divorce.
"One day I couldn't stand it anymore, so I told them to get a divorce quickly. I'm already in college, and you don't have to compromise anymore. I'm tired of this family."
Luo Xuan said this, and glanced at Chen Hansheng: "I didn't want to say that at first, but Brother Chen gave me the courage, and he also supported my parents' divorce."
"Huh?"
Old Chen and Liang Meijuan turned to their son suspiciously.
"I didn't expect you to have this ability."
Liang Meijuan sneered, and she had something else to say. No wonder the girl wanted to find you during the Chinese New Year, the reason is here.
"Fuck, it's not like this, okay."
Chen Hansheng was a little annoyed. Luo Xuan's parents were supposed to divorce after the Chinese New Year. He knew about this, so he kindly reminded Luo Xuan to pay attention to adapting to this process.
As a result, Luo Xuan misunderstood the meaning and actively encouraged her parents to apply for a divorce certificate. Once this little butterfly flapped its wings, Luo Xuan's parents' divorce was actually brought forward.
"Luo Xuan's parents didn't have a good relationship to begin with. We often quarreled when we were in high school. One time, we quarreled in school..."
Chen Hansheng explained the reason clearly and complained to Lao Chen and Liang Meijuan: "You government agencies do things like this. Is the civil affairs department rushing to achieve performance at the end of the year? Divorces on the 29th day of the lunar year are approved."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Zhaojun didn't let his son talk nonsense. Luo Xuan also said beside him: "In fact, my parents have planned to divorce for a long time. The mediator has persuaded them many times. Yesterday, they pulled the mediator and said that they would not be allowed to leave work without stamping. The mediator had no choice but to approve the divorce."
"When I got up this morning, I didn't know where they went, so I wandered around the street by myself."
Luo Xuan said, tears fell again: "Later, there were fewer and fewer people on the street. Even the vendors selling New Year's goods went home. The streets were empty. I remembered that I hadn't eaten for a day."
Chen Zhaojun handed over some tissues: "What are your parents' names? Don't you have other relatives in the local area?"
"My father's name is Luo Haiping, my mother's name is Huang Xiaoxia, we are not locals." Luo Xuan replied.
"Luo Haiping, your father is the boss of the ship, right?"
The port city is very small, and there are only a few outstanding people in various industries. Chen Zhaojun is in the government department, so even if you haven't seen him, you should have heard of him.
Luo Xuan nodded obediently, this image is a bit different from the aggressive look towards Shen Youchu at the beginning.
"You hang out outside for a day, and your mother doesn't look for you?"
Chen Hansheng felt that Luo Xuan's mother should not ignore her.
"My phone is out of battery and turned off."
Luo Xuan took out her Nokia phone, and the screen was pitch black.
"No wonder, your mother must be very anxious."
Chen Hansheng helped to charge the phone. As soon as he opened it, many messages flew in, most of which were from Luo Xuan's mother.
"My mother is going to call the police."
Luo Xuan was a little anxious when she read the last message, and immediately stood up to go home.
Chen Hansheng waved his hand: "I'll take you there."
After the two young men went downstairs, Chen Zhaojun and Liang Meijuan looked at the dishes on the table. Empress Liang frowned: "I feel that Hansheng doesn't like this Xiao Luo, but he is willing to help her. What do you think is the reason?"
Old Chen thought for a while: "Maybe in life, there will always be some people of the opposite sex who have no feelings but still can't let go. I don't understand the specific reason."
"Don't you understand?"
Liang Meijuan suddenly said: "I think he is more like you."
"What do you mean?"
Old Chen keenly discovered the trap: "You are fishing for law enforcement, deliberately asking a question first, and then waiting for me to give the answer. We have spent most of our lives, and you are still brooding over that female classmate of mine when we were in school. We really just wrote letters."
"Tsk, who is brooding over it."
Liang Meijuan shook her head and pointed at the dining table and said: "Go and clean up, I want to watch Zhao Benshan's skit."
······
The streets were just as Luo Xuan had said. The bustling scene during the day was gone. Most of the stall owners at the night market had closed their stalls, and the New Year goods on the tricycles were almost sold out. Although their hands and faces were blistered by the cold, they were full of satisfied smiles.
The street lights were still dim, and there were few cars in front of the traffic lights at the intersection, but it was not deserted at all, because the sound of firecrackers along the way never stopped, and from time to time there were firecrackers that "whooshed" into the sky and slowly exploded into brilliant fireworks.
Luo Xuan looked through the car window for a while and said silently: "I thought I could deal with this matter freely, but I didn't expect that I would still feel sad when this day came. I really envy the relationship between Uncle Chen and Aunt Liang."
"It's not that they haven't quarreled before."
Chen Hansheng smiled: "But my parents complement each other. Old Chen has a tolerant and generous personality. Just by giving all his salary to my mother every month, it can be basically determined that there will be no big storms."
"Then will you give the money to others in the future?"
Luo Xuan looked at Chen Hansheng and asked.
Chen Hansheng shook his head and said without hesitation: "No."
Luo Xuan thought for a while: "With Shen Youchu's personality, don't you trust her?"
"Don't try to trick me. I mean no. The one in front should be your mother."
Chen Hansheng recognized the figure of Luo Xuan's mother, who was waiting anxiously on the side of the road.
"Don't think too much when you go back at night. Remember, be heartless and you will be twice as happy."
"Okay, I got it."
After Luo Xuan got off the car, her mother hugged her. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a while, and then her mother came over to thank Chen Hansheng.
Chen Hansheng smiled and said a few polite words. When he left, he could still see Luo Xuan watching him in the rearview mirror.
······
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, after the family of three had finished eating dumplings and glutinous rice balls, Xiao Yuer called to make an appointment to play mahjong. Chen Hansheng thought that there was probably nothing to do today, so he decisively took Lao Chen and Liang Meijuan to the Cangwu community of Lao Xiao's home.
The two couples were old acquaintances, and Chen Zhaojun and Xiao Hongwei often met in the government building, and the relationship between the two children was even closer.
However, the four adults were very smart. Both sides only regarded it as an ordinary family gathering, without giving it too much meaning, but with a special taste.
The subtle relationship between them can only be tasted by the parties involved.
Xiao Yuer saw his parents playing mahjong. They were cracking melon seeds and talking about work. They were quite relaxed and the New Year atmosphere gradually came out.
"Xiao Chen, what should we do?"
Xiao Yuer asked Chen Hansheng.
Chen Hansheng looked at it and felt itchy: "You have two sets of mahjong cards at home. Let's play a few rounds."
"Not enough people."
Xiao Yuer pouted and said: "Four are missing two."
"Just call people. I'll call Wang Zibo and ask him to call a classmate who can play mahjong."
Chen Hansheng said with a smile. Wang Zibo came over soon and Chen Hansheng took the initiative to go downstairs to pick him up.
When the two met, Wang Zibo said happily: "I was bored at home, so you called me out to play."
"Playing mahjong is three people missing one, call Luo Xuan to come."
Chen Hansheng said directly.
Wang Zibo was a little surprised: "Why did you call her?"
"Her parents divorced the day before yesterday, and she came to our house and knocked on the door last night..."
Chen Hansheng told the actual situation: "See how she is now."
"You don't like her, why do you still care about her?" Wang Zibo asked.
"In life, you will always meet some people of the opposite sex who you don't have feelings for, but you still can't let go."
Chen Hansheng patted Wang Zibo on the shoulder: "You are still young and don't understand."
Wang Zibo pouted and agreed.
However, after going upstairs, Chen Hansheng immediately changed his face.
"What?"
Chen Hansheng widened his eyes: "You actually called Luo Xuan over, can't you find other classmates to play mahjong?"
Wang Zibo was stunned, and finally blinked dryly: "Among the people I know, she is the only one who can play mahjong."
"No, no, absolutely not."
Chen Hansheng refused.
On the contrary, Xiao Rongyu felt that it was nothing. She had absolute confidence and control over Luo Xuan: "It's okay, just playing mahjong. Luo Xuan is also our junior sister. What happened in the past is over."
"It's still not appropriate."
Chen Hansheng frowned: "Zi Bo, call her and let her go back."
"Huh?"
Wang Zi Bo took out his mobile phone: "Maybe she has come here."
"Xiao Chen!"
Xiao Yuer quietly squeezed Chen Hansheng's right hand: "I don't mind, what else do you care about, I believe you~"
"Okay, okay, let her come."
Chen Hansheng reluctantly agreed.
