Life is more than just living

Early in the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Weiguo got up to make dumplings. When Chen Xu woke up, the couple had already made dozens of dumplings. Chen Xu quickly washed his hands and went to help. Liu Weiguo said quickly: "Your mother and I will make the dumplings. You can go back to sleep. I'll call you when the dumplings are cooked." Chen Xu said: "I've already woken up, and There were constant sound of firecrackers outside, and I couldn't sleep." While they were talking, Liu Jingsheng also came out, so the two brothers went over to help. Liu Jingsheng didn't know how to make dumplings, so he helped roll them out. The four of them were making dumplings around the table in the kitchen, and they were like a group. Joyful and peaceful.

When the hot dumplings were served, Chen Xu suddenly thought of a sentence: The most delicious thing in the world is reunion. After dinner, Liu Weiguo said that several comrades wanted to get together at noon. Han Hui is going to the beauty salon and wants to take Chen Xu with her. Chen Xu shook his head and said I want to go to my brother's place. So several people split up.

Chen Xu came to Liu Jingsheng's house and saw that the soil on the balcony was a little dry. He wanted to water the flowers. Liu Jingsheng brought a bucket of water from the balcony and handed her a watering can. He said that he should use this water that had been left for several days to water the flowers. , do not use tap water directly. Chen Xu was very busy watering the flowers on the balcony with a watering can. After watering the flowers, she took a rag and gently soaked up the water that was accidentally sprayed on the ground. Then she sat in front of the flowerpot and said, "Brother, please help me take a photo with Huahua." Liu Jingsheng picked up the flower pot. On his mobile phone, he kept pressing the camera button, and Chen Xu’s bright smile complemented the beautiful flowers. Chen Xu smelled the fragrance of the flowers and said with some reluctance: "Brother, I don't know how long this flower will bloom. I will go back to the work tomorrow. You have worked hard to plant it for two months, but I have only seen it for two days. Liu Jingsheng comforted him: "It's okay. I will sit among the flowers when we video in the future, and you can see me and the flowers. Or I can change the camera and you can look at the flowers directly." Chen Xu smiled "Brother, let's look at the flowers together. Then I see the flowers? A handsome man." After meeting Chen Xu, Liu Jingsheng seemed to no longer object to the statement of beauty. He just laughed and cursed, "Naughty."

Chen Xu returned to the sofa, and Liu Jingsheng handed her a small dolphin consciously. Chen Xu leaned on the sofa and said with satisfaction: "Oh, I am so happy. How can I be so happy? Brother, pinch me, it feels like It's like a dream." Liu Jingsheng picked up an apple from the fruit plate and handed it to her, "You will be happier and happier in the future." Chen Xu took a bite of the apple, "I can't be too greedy, it's already very good as it is now! Yes! Brother, I wanted to say it yesterday, but I forgot about it as soon as I got distracted. I want to have a good talk with my parents tonight, and I will tell you here alone. Don’t buy me expensive things in the future. I don’t want those, right. For me, the most precious thing is family affection. You have already given it to me, so there is no need to give me anything else. With my current income, there is no problem at all in supporting my daily expenses. Mom and you give it to me The things I bought were too expensive and did not match my status.”

Liu Jingsheng said dissatisfied: "What are you talking about? What does it mean that it does not match your status? You deserve the best! We are not the top rich people, and what we can give you is very limited, but within our capabilities, you can Accepting it with peace of mind is the attitude a daughter or sister should have. You also said that the most important thing for you is family ties, and everything else is not worth mentioning, so why resist? "

Chen Xu lowered his head and said: "I don't know how I suddenly got lucky and met such a good family all of a sudden. I am obviously a person with poor parents, but I have so much all of a sudden. I am already so happy that it is unreal." No matter how much you continue to give me material blessings, I am really afraid that I will get too much, and my blessings will not be able to bear it. I remember this saying: I could have endured the darkness, if I had never seen Live the light. This sentence fits my state of mind very well. Originally, I had no hope for family ties, but all of a sudden I have so much. If I lose it again, I will be worse off than dead. Brother, I hope this happiness will flow over time and not be squandered all at once. To use an inappropriate metaphor, a very poor person suddenly gets a large amount of wealth. Maybe he will squander it as much as possible to enjoy the ultimate life. There is another possibility, It's probably like being a miser who doesn't dare to use it, and I am undoubtedly the latter. I'm so afraid of losing everything I have, so I don't dare to ask for more. I'm afraid that being greedy will lead to God's punishment. Can you understand how I feel? "

Liu Jingsheng hugged Chen Xu lovingly and rested her head on his shoulder, "Silly girl, I understand, don't be afraid! Your parents, your mother, and your brother will always be your relatives."

Liu Weiguo drank some wine during the dinner, and Han Hui drove to pick him up. Liu Weiguo rubbed his head and said, "Where are those two children?" Han Hui said they were at Liu Jingsheng's place. Liu Weiguo said, "Then let's go too and stay there at night." Han Hui smiled and said, "You, when will you Have you become a clingy person?" Liu Weiguo took out his phone and called Liu Jingsheng and asked them if they would go home to stay that night. Unexpectedly, Liu Jingsheng said that he would take Chen Xu home to live. Han Hui was very surprised, "I thought the brat would leave Xiaoxu to live there. This is just right. Let's go home and make delicious food. Everything at Jingsheng's place is great, except for the kitchen, which I can't use." Liu Weiguo closed. He closed his eyes and thought for a while and said: "What you said yesterday really makes sense. This child has a deep connection with our family. You said that an old-fashioned person like me, who has lived for most of his life, can fall in love with this child at once. Even I find it strange that someone I barely knew has suddenly become my daughter. This feeling is so amazing. I’ll transfer my child here when her internship is over! I thought about it today, In fact, the trusteeship and the direct use of power are similar. I have never done anything that violates discipline in my life. I can’t do so much for our children if I do it this time." Unexpectedly, Han Hui said: "Xiaoxu disagrees! I have done it before I disclosed this situation to Xiaoxu. But Xiaoxu said that she wanted to come back through the civil service selection and did not want you to violate your principles for her, otherwise I will be sorry for your kindness to her." Liu Weiguo said sincerely: "What a sensible and good boy. ah!

Chen Xu asked, "Then when will we go back?" Liu Jingsheng said, "If we play here a little longer, we'll have time to go back during dinner." Liu Jingsheng watched Chen Xu run to the balcony to look at the flowers again, secretly thinking that Chen Xu valued so much. For family ties, she should be brought to spend more time with her parents.

Chen Xu and Liu Jingsheng returned home and saw a table full of dishes. She was stunned, why did she cook so many dishes? Han Hui said: "Your father and I cooked it together. The nanny will be back tomorrow. It's inconvenient and I always rush to cook, so I will cook a few more dishes today.

Chen Xu knew in his heart that because he was leaving tomorrow, he had to cook a lot more dishes today. Because she couldn't buy a ticket, Liu Jingsheng said he would drive her back. Chen Xu sighed, why couldn't he buy a ticket? Liu Weiguo comforted her: "It doesn't matter, your brother can drive there in two or three hours, it's not too far." Chen Xu was reluctant, "But I'm too tired to drive back and forth for so long." Liu Jingsheng said: " It’s just driving, how tiring can it be? It’s not like I’ve never been there before.”

Early in the morning on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Han Hui and his wife still made dumplings, saying that they would get the dumplings on the bus and get the noodles off. Originally, they wanted Chen Xu to have lunch before leaving, but Chen Xu considered that it would be too late for Liu Jingsheng to come back, so they had to leave in the morning. Han Hui took Chen Xu's hand and said reluctantly: "The vacation is still too short. In the future, when you return to your parents, you can't marry far away, you know? It's best to live in a community, where your mother can see you at any time." . In the future, when my parents retire, I can see you when I go for a walk. What a good thing!" Chen Xu smiled, and he also liked this feeling of being surrounded by family.

When we arrived at Longcheng, it was lunch time. When they arrived in the city, Chen Xu saw that the restaurants were open, so he said he wanted to treat Liu Jingsheng to dinner. Liu Jingsheng smiled, "Okay!" Liu Jingsheng parked the car and the two of them went in. The private rooms were all full, so the two of them had to sit in the lobby. Because there were so many customers, the food was served very slowly. Chen Xu poured a cup of tea for Liu Jingsheng, "I'm not very familiar with Longcheng, so I don't know which restaurant has delicious food." Liu Jingsheng didn't care, "It doesn't matter, I'm not picky about food, and I can eat anything with you." After the food was served, Chen Xu regretted coming here to eat. The food didn't taste very good and he couldn't understand why the business was so booming. The two of them just ate some and paid the bill. As soon as I walked to the parking area at the door, I saw several cars surrounding Liu Jingsheng, pointing. Liu Jingsheng took out his car keys and pressed the unlock button, intending to prompt several people to get out of the way. Several people hurriedly looked around to see who was the owner of the car. When Chen Xu was about to open the car door, he suddenly noticed someone he knew. Among the onlookers were Yan Donglin and Zhang Xiaoli. They also saw Chen Xu. Zhang Xiaoli hurried over to say hello.

After Liu Jingsheng drove the car away, Zhang Xiaoli still looked at it with interest, "Good cars are just different." Yan Donglin asked: "This is the car that sent Chen Xu to report last time, right?" Zhang Xiaoli shook his head, "This is the person, not the car. I remember clearly that last time he drove an SUV, not a sports car. Huh? Who is this person? Could it be Sister Xu’s boyfriend?" Yan Donglin sighed, "I hope so."
