Life is more than just living

At almost noon, Liu Weiguo called Chen Xu and asked her to go home with Han Hui for dinner. Han Hui arranged her work and drove Chen Xu home. A sumptuous meal was already placed on the table. When Chen Xu saw that Liu Jingsheng was not there, he asked, "Where's brother? Isn't he coming back for lunch?" Liu Weiguo said, "I called him. He said he had something to deal with at the club and wouldn't come back for lunch. I'll take you out in the evening. Eat. Several comrades are getting together, and they all have their children with them. Your brother may not necessarily be willing to attend, so please persuade him. Let’s have dinner first!" Chen Xu glanced at Han Hui while eating, and then looked at Liu Weiguo, "Dad, why do you have to bring us? Is this gathering of your comrades a blind date?"

Liu Weiguo was seen through, and said a little awkwardly: "It does mean that. I don't know what you kids are thinking now. You are not in a hurry to find a partner when you reach the marriageable age. Isn't that right? I The children of several comrades in arms include boys and girls. In fact, all of them are quite good, but they are not in a hurry to find a partner. The few of us just want to create an opportunity for the children to meet each other, and we have no specific goals. , and they didn’t say who they were introducing to. They are all young people. Make friends first. If you feel that you are in a suitable place, it doesn’t matter if you don’t feel the same. Just save yourself the embarrassment. Let’s have a barbecue at a friend’s house.” Liu Weiguo, who is usually vigorous and resolute , I feel very down-to-earth at the moment, and I am starting to get married to my mother-in-law and mother-in-law for my children’s marriage.

Chen Xu swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth and said, "Dad, I can persuade brother to go, but can you not force me to find a partner? I don't want to get married yet." Han Hui quickly comforted her, "Girl, Don't be afraid, Mom is reluctant to let you get married so early! Look at how far you travel for work and only come back once every few weeks. If you get married, you don't know how often you will come back! So don't worry, Your parents won't force you, you can find someone whenever you like." Chen Xu felt a little more relieved.

Chen Xu suddenly remembered, "Mom, what was the name of the daughter of the restaurant where we had dinner during the first lunar month? Her name was Yao Tianyue, right? I think she is a bit interested in brother." Han Hui sighed: "Who said she wasn't? After that I also look for opportunities to get the two families together. Your brother won't go at all, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Liu Weiguo laughed and said: "Our barbecue party was also decided on the spur of the moment. Isn't Xiaoxu back? Otherwise, if I call that brat, he won't agree! Only my sister is here, so he can reluctantly go along. Actually, this party is not just for the children of a few of my comrade-in-arms. One of the children of a comrade-in-arms said that he invited some male and female classmates to come over, so that young people can have a lot of fun together. We old guys think this is good, too. Save yourself the embarrassment." Chen Xu was a little worried, "I'm afraid my brother won't like it when there are so many people making noise." Han Hui shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter, let him get used to it. Besides, you are like a Dinghai Shenzhen. With you here He will feel at ease." Chen Xu said angrily: "Mom, what kind of metaphor are you talking about?"

In the afternoon, Chen Xu called Liu Jingsheng and said that his father was going to take her to a barbecue party. Liu Jingsheng was stunned for a moment and asked: "Do you want to eat barbecue? Then I will take you to eat!" Chen Xu licked it Lips, he quickly said: "I also want to go to the barbecue party with dad. Barbecue needs to be eaten together to have an atmosphere, right?" Liu Jingsheng had to compromise and said: "Okay! Where is the address? Should I go there directly or go home to pick him up? You?" Chen Xu quickly said: "Let's meet up on the way." She asked Liu Weiguo's address, and then said to Liu Jingsheng: "Brother, drive a little further from your club to the place where we saw the flowers last time. I also I want to see the flowers and then have a barbecue, how about that?" After receiving the agreement, she hung up the phone with a guilty conscience, wiping her sweat.

Liu Weiguo still maintained his mobility as a soldier and could leave at will. He drove Han Hui and Chen Xu to the Wetland Park early. After admiring the lotus flowers for a while, Chen Xu couldn't wait to take them to the cosmos flower field. Looking at the flowers all over the mountains and fields, Liu Weiguo said sincerely: "It's so beautiful!"

Chen Xu said happily: "Dad, it turns out you also like this flower!" Liu Weiguo nodded and said: "When I was a soldier in Tibet, there were many of these flowers. They were very beautiful." Liu Jingsheng parked the car and walked over. A few people were chatting and laughing beside the flower field. Looking at the flowers all over the mountains and fields, Chen Xu felt relaxed, and Liu Weiguo seemed to have returned to those prosperous years.
