"Eat slowly, eat slowly. There are still glutinous rice balls in the pot."
Liang Meijuan reminded Luo Xuan not to burn herself as she looked at Old Chen and his son.
Unlike Chen Hansheng's "sharp tongue and heavy heart", Empress Dowager Liang was the typical "sharp tongue but soft heart". If someone stood at the door and said there was no place to eat New Year's Eve dinner, Empress Dowager Liang would definitely bring out a bowl of dumplings.
If this person was a girl, she would go to the same high school as Chen Hansheng and go to the same university.
This bowl of dumplings could be eaten at home.
If he knew that this girl had always liked Chen Hansheng, he would congratulate her.
Other than dumplings, she could also eat glutinous rice glutinous rice balls.
Even though Liang Meijuan beat and scolded Chen Hansheng, she felt that the girl's taste was not bad if she liked her son.
She was such a real mother.
"After I went home during the winter break, they quarreled and threw things at home all day. Sometimes they even fought."
Luo Xuan was indeed hungry. She finished the plate of dumplings in a few bites and explained the process of her parents' divorce.
"One day, I couldn't take it anymore, so I told them to get a divorce. I'm already in university, so they don't have to compromise anymore. I've had enough of this family."
Luo Xuan said this and looked at Chen Hansheng. "I didn't want to say this, but Senior Chen gave me the courage. He also supported my parents' divorce."
"Hm?"
Old Chen and Liang Meijuan looked at their son suspiciously.
"I couldn't tell that you had this kind of ability."
Liang Meijuan sneered. She still had something to say. No wonder the girl wanted to find you during the New Year. The reason was this.
"F * ck, it's not like this."
Chen Hansheng was a bit annoyed. Luo Xuan's parents were supposed to divorce after the New Year. He knew about this and kindly reminded Luo Xuan to pay attention to the process.
As a result, Luo Xuan misunderstood the meaning and took the initiative to encourage her parents to apply for a divorce certificate. As soon as this little butterfly flapped its wings, Luo Xuan's parents' divorce was brought forward.
"Luo Xuan's parents don't have a good relationship. We often quarreled with each other when we were in high school. There was once a quarrel in school …"
Chen Hansheng explained the reason clearly and complained to Old Chen and Liang Meijuan, "Is this how you government agencies do things? Is the Civil Affairs Bureau rushing to improve their performance at the end of the year? They even approved divorces on the 29th of the year."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Zhaojun didn't allow his son to talk nonsense. Luo Xuan also said, "In fact, my parents have already planned to divorce. The mediator has advised them many times. Yesterday, they pulled the mediator and said that they couldn't get off work without a stamp. The mediator had no choice but to approve the divorce."
"When I woke up this morning, I didn't know where they were, so I wandered around the street by myself."
Luo Xuan said and shed tears again, "Later, there were fewer and fewer people on the street. Even the peddlers who sold New Year goods went home. The road was empty. Then I remembered that I hadn't eaten for a whole day."
Chen Zhaojun handed some tissues to her, "What are your parents' names? Don't you have any other relatives in this city?"
"My father is Luo Haiping, and my mother is Huang Xiaoxia. We are not locals," Luo Xuan replied.
"Luo Haiping, is your father the boss of the boat company?"
Harbor City was very small, and there were only a few outstanding people in all walks of life. Chen Zhaojun was also a government official, so even if he hadn't seen him before, he should have heard of him.
Luo Xuan nodded obediently. Her current appearance was a little different from the aggressive look she had when she was with Shen Youchu.
"You wandered around outside for a whole day. Didn't your mother look for you?"
Chen Hansheng felt that Luo Xuan's mother wouldn't leave her alone.
"My phone ran out of battery and turned off."
Luo Xuan took out her Nokia phone. The screen was dark.
"No wonder. Your mother must be very anxious."
Chen Hansheng helped to charge the phone. As soon as he turned it on, there were a lot of messages flying in. Most of them were from Luo Xuan's mother.
"My mother is going to call the police."
Luo Xuan was a little anxious when she turned to the last message. She immediately stood up and wanted to go home.
Chen Hansheng waved his hand, "I'll send you home."
After the two young people went downstairs, Chen Zhaojun and Liang Meijuan looked at the plates on the table. Empress Dowager Liang frowned, "I feel that Hansheng doesn't like Luo Xuan, but he is very willing to help her. What do you think is the reason?"
Old Chen thought for a moment, "Maybe in life, there will always be some opposite sex who has no feelings but still can't let go. I don't know the specific reason."
"You don't know?"
Liang Meijuan suddenly said, "I think he is more like you."
"What do you mean?"
Old Chen was sharp and found a trap, "You are baiting me. First, you deliberately asked a question, and then waited for me to tell you the answer. We have already spent more than half of our lives together, and you are still brooding over that female classmate of mine when we were studying. We really only wrote letters."
"Tsk, who is brooding over it."
Liang Meijuan shook her head, pointed at the table and said, "You go and tidy up, I want to watch Zhao Benshan's skit."
… ….
On the street, just like what Luo Xuan said, the bustling scene during the day no longer existed. Most of the night market stall owners had already packed up their stalls, and the New Year goods on the tricycles were almost sold out.
Although there were blisters on their hands and faces due to the cold, there were still satisfied smiles on their faces.
The street lights were still dim, and there weren't many cars in front of the traffic lights at the crossroads. However, it wasn't lonely at all, because the sound of firecrackers didn't stop along the way. From time to time, there would be firecrackers flying into the sky and slowly exploding into brilliant fireworks.
Luo Xuan looked through the car window for a while and said quietly, "I originally thought that I could deal with this matter freely, but I didn't expect that this day would really come. I still feel very sad in my heart. I really envy the relationship between Uncle Chen and Aunt Liang."
"It's not like they haven't quarreled before."
Chen Hansheng smiled, "But my parents are more complementary. Old Chen has a tolerant and generous personality. Just based on the fact that he gives all of his salary to my mother every month, I can basically conclude that there won't be any big problems."
"Then, will you give your 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, you also don't trust her?"
"Don't try to trick me. If I say I won't, then I won't. The one in front should be your mother, right?"
Chen Hansheng recognized the figure of Luo Xuan's mother. She was currently anxiously waiting by the roadside.
"When you go home at night, don't think too much. Remember, being carefree will make you twice as happy."
"En, I know."
After Luo Xuan got out of the car, her mother hugged her. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a while. After that, her mother walked over to Chen Hansheng and thanked him.
Chen Hansheng smiled and said a few polite words. When he left, he could still see from the rearview mirror that Luo Xuan had been watching him leave.
… …
On the morning of the first day of Chinese New Year, after the family of three finished eating dumplings and glutinous rice balls, Little Yu'er made a phone call and asked to play mahjong. Chen Hansheng thought that he probably had nothing to do today, so he decisively pulled Old Chen and Liang Meijuan to Old Xiao's Cangwu District.
The two couples were old acquaintances. Chen Zhaojun and Xiao Hongwei often met each other in the government building, and the relationship between the two families' children was even closer.
However, the four adults were very smart. Both parties only treated it as an ordinary family gathering, and although there was not much meaning to it, there was still a special feeling to it.
The subtle relationship between the two parties could only be understood by those involved.
Little Fishy saw that her parents had started playing mahjong. They were munching on melon seeds while talking about work. It was quite leisurely, and the New Year's atmosphere was gradually becoming more and more lively.
"Xiao Chen, what should we do?"
Little Yu'er asked Chen Hansheng.
Chen Hansheng looked at the mahjong tiles and said, "Doesn't your family have two sets of mahjong tiles? Let's play a few rounds too."
"We don't have enough people."
Little Yu'er pouted and said, "We lack two players."
"Why don't we call someone? I'll call Wang Zibo over and ask him to call a classmate who knows how to play mahjong."
Chen Hansheng said with a smile.
Wang Zibo soon arrived, and Chen Hansheng took the initiative to go downstairs to pick him up.
When the two met, Wang Zibo said happily, "I was just bored at home, so you asked me to come out and play."
"We lack one player to play mahjong. Call Luo Xuan over."
Chen Hansheng said directly.
Wang Zibo was a little puzzled. "Why do you want to call her?"
"Her parents divorced the day before yesterday. Last night, she came to our house and knocked on the door …"
Chen Hansheng told him the actual situation. "I want to see how she is now."
"You don't like her, so why do you always care about her?" Wang Zibo asked.
"In life, you will always meet someone of the opposite sex who you don't have feelings for, but still can't let go."
Chen Hansheng patted Wang Zibo's shoulder. "You're still young, so you won't understand."
Wang Zibo curled his lips and agreed.
However, after going upstairs, Chen Hansheng immediately changed his expression.
"What?"
Chen Hansheng opened his eyes wide. "You actually called Luo Xuan over? Can't you find any other classmate to play mahjong?"
Wang Zibo was stunned, and finally blinked his eyes. "Among the people I know, she's the only one who knows how to play mahjong."
"No, no, absolutely not."
Chen Hansheng flatly refused.
On the contrary, Xiao Rongyu didn't think it was a big deal. She had absolute confidence in Luo Xuan. "It's okay, it's just mahjong. Luo Xuan is also our junior. Let bygones be bygones."
"It's still not appropriate."
Chen Hansheng frowned. "Zibo, call her and ask her to go back."
"Ah?"
Wang Zibo took out his phone. "Maybe she's already here."
"Xiao Chen!"
Little Yu 'er secretly held Chen Hansheng's right hand. "I don't mind, so why do you care? I believe in you."
"Okay, okay, ask her to come over."
Chen Hansheng reluctantly agreed.
