Life is more than just living

The scarf for Liu Jingsheng was knitted smoothly. Compared with the red scarf that was knitted for myself at the beginning, this one is much better. After the completion, Chen Xu washed it with water, and after it was dry, he couriered it to Liu Jingsheng.

Liu Jingsheng received a birthday gift from Chen Xu Express on his birthday. When he opened the package, a simple navy blue scarf appeared in front of him. He could tell that it was knitted by hand, and he was very excited when he looked at this scarf woven with thousands of needles and threads. He put the scarf around his neck and found a card underneath, with Chen Xujuan's beautiful handwriting on it: Brother, happy birthday to you! When you celebrated your birthday last year, I said that I would carefully prepare gifts for you in the future. But now I have not achieved financial freedom and cannot afford to give too expensive gifts. I went to learn to knit a scarf. This was the second scarf I knitted, and the first one was made for myself to practice my skills. The workmanship is a bit rough, but that's what I feel like. Brother, I wish you happiness every day. Although I can't be by your side, my heart is with you. I wish my brother peace, joy and success!

Liu Jingsheng stroked the soft scarf with his hand and murmured: "Chen Xu, this is the best birthday gift I have ever received." Suddenly, the door opened. Liu Jingsheng walked over and saw Han Hui and Liu Weiguo opening the door. , walked in with big and small bags.

Liu Jingsheng welcomed his parents in, and Liu Weiguo and Han Hui said at the same time: "Happy birthday, son!" Han Hui took out a gift from the bag he carried and handed it to Liu Jingsheng. Liu Jingsheng took the gift without opening it, but looked at his parents and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad, for giving me life! And thank you for your tolerance and love for me over the years."

Listening to their son say these words, the couple burst into tears. Liu Jingsheng had been silent since he was a child. The couple once thought that the child had autism. It was only when Liu Weiguo saw Liu Jingsheng's condition that he felt sorry for his wife and children, and returned to his wife and children despite his father's objections. Han Hui suddenly noticed a handmade scarf around Liu Jingsheng's neck, and she wanted to reach out and touch it. Liu Jingsheng hid for a moment, and Han Hui suddenly understood, "It was given to you by Chen Xu, right?" Liu Jingsheng suddenly smiled brightly, "Yes, it was a birthday gift given to me by Chen Xu."

Han Hui asked tentatively: "Has Chen Xu graduated now?" Liu Jingsheng replied, "She passed the exam at the Longcheng City Procuratorate and has been working for several months." Han Hui glanced at Liu Weiguo and said, "Old Liu, do something Let's have lunch with the child to celebrate his birthday!" Liu Jingsheng was a little surprised. Previously, the Liu family's family rule was that parents did not celebrate their children's birthdays.

Liu Weiguo took the dishes brought by the two people to the kitchen to put them away. Han Hui asked Liu Jingsheng in a low voice: "Son, do you still like Chen Xu?" Liu Jingsheng touched the scarf around his neck, "Of course I do. From the moment I saw her I liked her at first sight. What's wrong?" Han Hui said worriedly: "But this child has returned to Longcheng, what should I do? Otherwise, why don't you ask your father to transfer her here because of his connections? Liu Jingsheng shook his head and said, "No, Chen Xu doesn't like this."

Han Hui asked her son again: "Tell mom, what are you thinking? Don't you want to marry her?" Liu Jingsheng suddenly looked up at Han Hui and said, "What did you say? I didn't think so. I I have recognized her as my sister." Han Hui said in disbelief: "But I heard from Li Zhilan that Han Yidao has broken up with Chen Xu! Then if you pursue her now, you are not disregarding brotherhood. Chen Xu is now a free man. It's gone." Unexpectedly, Liu Jingsheng still shook his head and said, "I can't do that." Han Hui was a little anxious, "Son, tell mom quickly, what's going on?"

Liu Jingsheng still touched the scarf around his neck and said, "Mom, we don't have to be together if we like her. I like Chen Xu very much, but I can't think of marrying her anymore. You know, Chen Xu trusts me very much. Relying on me, she really regards me as a friend and a brother. Compared with love, she lacks family affection. When she was young, her parents divorced and abandoned her. She lived with her grandma, but the old lady was very interested in me. She is not good and has been treating her harshly. Even so, this time she returned to Longcheng and often visited her grandma. She is too eager for family affection, so I would rather be her brother. When people give gifts, they all have to do what they want. Right? Then I should follow this principle and give Chen Xu what she wants most. She and Han Yidao are in love, and they love each other very deeply, but she can break up without hesitation, but she treats an old lady who doesn't treat her well. She can't be cruel, so I think what she needs more is family affection."

Han Hui stared at her son blankly. He could only say so many words in one breath when talking about Chen Xu! After a long while, Han Huicai said: "But, son, after all, you are not related, and it is always unfair to talk about it. This society is not tolerant. You don't care if you are a boy, but it will have an impact on Chen Xu, right?" "

Liu Jingsheng scratched his head, "What should I do? In fact, I have been wanting to see her in the past few months but I have not dared to go. I am just afraid that her colleagues will make irresponsible remarks about the appearance of my opposite-sex brother." Han Hui leaned on the sofa. , pinching the center of his brows with his hands, "How about this? I accept Chen Xu as my goddaughter. I happen to like her quite a lot. If she doesn't dislike it, I'm willing to have another daughter. This child is well-behaved and sensible. Even if someone hurts you, your father won't object. In this way, you are her brother, and no one else can say anything about taking care of her, and it is considered justifiable."

Liu Jingsheng happily sat down next to his mother, put his arms around her shoulders and said, "Great, Mom, you are so smart! Yes, that's it. Let's, let's go to Dragon City!" Han Hui stretched out her index finger and nodded with her hand. Liu Jingsheng hit Liu Jingsheng's head, "You silly boy, how could I go to Longcheng to claim my daughter? I should be waiting here for Chen Xu to come." Liu Jingsheng said, "Mom, Chen Xu is very busy at work." Han Hui He smiled helplessly, "You, now that you have a sister, you no longer care about your mother. I can't rush to Dragon City. You should ask Chen Xu first. If she doesn't want to, it's hard to force her."

Like a child offering a treasure, Liu Jingsheng immediately called Chen Xu on his mobile phone. Chen Xu was sitting in front of the computer working, and it was strange that she suddenly received a call from Liu Jingsheng. She quickly picked it up, thinking that there must be something important, because Liu Jingsheng usually did not disturb her and only called her after get off work. , maybe I just wanted to express my love when I received the scarf.

"Happy birthday, brother! Yes, I'm at work."

Liu Jingsheng couldn't hide his excitement, "Listen to what I'm telling you: My mother wants to recognize you as her goddaughter, are you willing?" Chen Xu was stunned for a moment. The two agreed to be brother and sister, but there was no ceremony, that is, verbal So let’s talk about it. But today, Han Hui suddenly said that she would accept her as her goddaughter, which really surprised her. After all, she was not familiar with Han Hui. Seeing that Chen Xu didn't respond, Liu Jingsheng was a little nervous and asked cautiously on the other end of the phone: "Chen Xu, aren't you willing? It doesn't matter if you don't want to..."

Chen Xu quickly said: "Brother, I'm not reluctant, I just don't understand why aunt suddenly remembered to recognize me as her daughter?" Liu Jingsheng said: "That's right, I told my mother that the two of us want to As brother and sister, what my mother means is that there are so many people in today's society with mixed opinions. I'm afraid it will have an impact on you. After all, the name is not justified. Although we say we are brothers and sisters of the opposite sex, others may not think so, so I Mom wants to recognize you as her goddaughter, so that we are really brothers and sisters. It will be easier for me to take care of you." Chen Xu was still a little hesitant here. She felt that she had really taken advantage of her, and she felt a little embarrassed. "

At this time, Han Hui reached out and took Liu Jingsheng's cell phone. She said, "Chen Xu, I am Aunt Han." Chen Xu quickly said, "Hello, Aunt Han." Han Hui said, "Chen Xu, is this Jingsheng's child not good?" Being able to talk seems like a gift from my godmother for paying the phone bill! In fact, we, the old couple, liked you the first time we met you. Jingsheng was chasing you at that time, and we were very satisfied with you. Unexpectedly, in the end You two didn't become a couple, but became brothers and sisters. I asked you to be older, since you are my son's sister, you can also be regarded as my daughter. I wonder if I have this honor?" Chen Xu pressed his chest and held it for a long time. Then he said: "Auntie, I am very willing, but I don't understand this. Is there any ceremony required, or just say it."

Han Hui said: "I hope there will be a ceremony to confirm our relationship. But don't worry, I will make arrangements first and wait for you to come back when you have time." Chen Xu said happily: "Thank you, Aunt Han, thank you, I I’m really happy.”

Liu Jingsheng took the phone over and chatted with Chen Xu for a few more words before hanging up.

Chen Xu put down the phone and sat in front of the computer. He wanted to continue working, but he couldn't help laughing when he was so excited. Li Chang walked in and saw Chen Xu looking puzzled and asked: "Why are you laughing? If you tell me anything happy, I will be happy too." Chen Xu said to Li Chang with a beaming face: "I have a mother again! Li Chang was stunned for a moment and said, "Is your mother looking for you?" Chen Xu shook his head. Just then there was a knock on the door. Someone is looking for Li Chang.

Han Hui looked at Liu Jingsheng, "Son, wear a scarf indoors, isn't it hot?" Liu Jingsheng shook his head and said it wasn't hot. Han Hui had no choice but to say: "Take it off first. It's easy to get dirty when eating later." Upon hearing this, Liu Jingsheng quickly took off the scarf and folded it neatly on the armrest of the sofa. Han Xu secretly sighed, is this his son? How had he ever cherished anything so much since he was a child? Alas, I really don’t understand young people! Since you cherish Chen Xu so much, why can't we get together and become brother and sister?

Han Hui couldn't help but ask again, "Son, are you sure you don't want to go further with Chen Xu? Mom is an open-minded person. As long as you are willing, if your goddaughter becomes your daughter-in-law, mom will support it with all her hands."

Liu Jingsheng suddenly took his mother's hand and said, "Mom, thank you for being so reasonable and considerate. But although I am not a gentleman, I will not do anything to take advantage of others. Chen Xu left Han Yidao. She was not sad, nor was she unhappy. Injured, she was just licking her wounds silently, not wanting to show her vulnerability. If I took advantage of this moment, I would have wasted Chen Xu's trust in me and violated her trust and dependence on me. Besides, the husband and wife turned against each other. It's common for couples to fall out. I don't want to be separated from Chen Xu. I want to be not far from her for the rest of my life. It's good to be brother and sister."
