Liu Xiaochen got up and went to the wooden table in the living room to get a pack of tissues. When he came back, he saw Aunt Liu still crying. Liu Xiaochen sat down next to Aunt Liu, took out two tissues and handed them to Aunt Liu.

"Alas!" Aunt Liu wiped her tears, sighed heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoxiao, there are some things I didn't tell Shen Liang. The reason why I hate that Li Qian so much is because Shen Liang's father cheated. I met this woman in a bar." At this point, Aunt Liu looked down at the tissue she was talking about, paused for a while, and then continued.

"In order to give birth to a boy for his father, I had two abortions and lost my job. I took care of his parents in front of the hospital bed for five years. We were married for seven years. I cooked three meals a day and the house was always clean. . Finally, when I was lying in the hospital bed pregnant and suffering from miscarriage injections every day, he was hanging out with other women in the bar. When we divorced, he gave me nothing but this old house. After the divorce, He has never come to visit once..." Aunt Liu said, her voice was choked and she couldn't cry.

Liu Xiaochen's eyes turned red as he listened, and he didn't know what to say. At this time, Zuo Xu knocked on the door and came in. Liu Xiaochen quickly wiped his tears, and Aunt Liu immediately turned her back.

"Little teacher, I'm hungry. When will I have dinner?" Zuo Xu asked.

Liu Xiaochen turned around and looked out the window. It was almost dark, and said, "I'll cook right away."

Aunt Liu wiped her tears with her sleeves, turned around, and said with a smile: "Let me cook dinner. If I want to cook it for you in the future, I will never have a chance." After saying this, Liu Auntie smiled at Liu Xiaochen and said, "Xiaoxiao, after you finish packing your things, take a rest."

After that, Aunt Liu took Zuo Xu out and asked with a smile: "Xiao Xu, what do you want to eat?"

After they went out, Liu Xiaochen sat blankly by the bed, looking at the growing night outside the window, feeling a little sad and a little alert.

Aunt Liu is hard-working, kind and optimistic. She sacrifices, gives and takes responsibility in her marriage, but she is still abandoned by her husband, and the children she has worked so hard to raise gradually drift away.

Why is it that even if you are a good person and do well, the results are so bad? What went wrong? Liu Xiaochen, who had just turned twenty, still couldn't figure it out.

While Liu Xiaochen was thinking, he heard someone coming in. Listening carefully to the footsteps and voices, it was Zuo Kunmin and Bian Chang who were back. Liu Xiaochen did not go out to greet him, but stood up and continued arranging paints and brushes in front of the bookshelf in Zuo Xu's room.

After a while, Zuo Kunmin came into the room, came to Liu Xiaochen's side, and said, "Are you almost done cleaning up?"

Liu Xiaochen stopped, turned to look at Zuo Kunmin, and said, "It's almost there. There are only these children's school supplies and a few pieces of your clothes, so there's nothing else."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxiao." Zuo Kunmin said, reaching for Liu Xiaochen's hand.

Liu Xiaochen didn't expect Zuo Kunmin's hands to be so cold. Taking a closer look at his face, he found that his skin was rougher than before. He thought he was working outdoors a lot during this time. Said: "Is the lantern festival ready?"

Zuo Kunmin smiled and said: "Okay, many people have praised Changchang for organizing this lantern party. After dinner later, we will watch the lanterns together."

"Okay!" Liu Xiaochen nodded and smiled back, then put Zuo Kunmin's hand away and said, "I'll get you a cup of hot water." "

"I'll do it myself, and you pack your things here. We'll be very late when we come back after watching the lanterns, and we have to get up early to go to the airport tomorrow, so we don't have time to pack these things." After that, Zuo Kunmin left quickly.

Liu Xiaochen hurriedly packed these things without being sentimental or thoughtful.

I just finished my work and dinner is ready. After finishing the meal in a hurry, Bian Chang excitedly urged everyone to change clothes and prepare to go out to watch the lanterns.

Before going out, Liu Xiaochen felt severe abdominal pain and went to the toilet to change sanitary napkins. Sitting on the toilet, for two or three minutes, Liu Xiaochen's stomach hurt so much that he broke into a cold sweat. At that time, Liu Xiaochen wanted to tell them that he was not feeling well and wanted to lie down at home.

But when I came out of the bathroom, I saw that everyone had changed their clothes, crowded at the door with smiles, changing shoes, and getting ready to go out.

"Xiao Xiao, are you okay? The lantern festival starts in ten minutes." Bian Chang shouted with a smile.

Liu Xiaochen hurriedly walked towards the door and said with a smile: "I'll just put on my coat and put on my shoes." After saying that, he went to the clothes rack and raised his arm to reach for the coat.

"I'll do it." Zuo Kunmin suddenly appeared behind him, easily raised his arm and took off the long white down jacket. Liu Xiaochen turned around and saw Zuo Kunmin holding a down jacket with both hands. He looked at Liu Xiaochen with a smile and said, "Come on, put it on quickly."

Amidst the noisy crowd, Liu Xiaochen instantly felt calm and warm, forgetting the pain for a moment. I feel that the hard work of this day is worth it, and I am determined to go out and watch the lanterns.

Liu Xiaochen turned to look at Bian Chang and the children beside him. They were all busy putting on scarves and hats and did not look at them. Liu Xiaochen hesitated for a moment, stretched out his arms and put on his down jacket.

When Liu Xiaochen lowered his head to unzip his down jacket, he saw that Zuo Xu's shoelaces were loose.

There was no time to unzip the zipper, so he took two steps forward, knelt down in front of Zuo Xu, and tightened his shoelaces firmly. He also took off the scarf that Zuo Xu was twisting carelessly, smoothed it out, tied it around Zuo Xu again, and tied it into a nice and secure knot. Finally, he carefully pulled Zuo Xu's black woolen hat down to cover Zuo Xu's ears.

Zuo Kunmin was beside him, slowly putting on his coat and scarf, quietly watching Liu Xiaochen take care of the children gently and meticulously, and felt warm.
