like drinking ice

A flower shop for men may seem weird, but I've opened a flower shop anyway.

Strictly speaking, it doesn't seem to be called a flower shop, because although all the plants are sold inside, there are very few beautiful flowers.

And I don't often sell plants either.

My bid price is a bit high, and few people will make up their minds to buy unless they like it very much, so sometimes they can't sell one tree in a day.

Fortunately, I don't rely on this to eat.

At the beginning, I prepared a flower shop because the law firm was too busy to take care of the two children, so I had to continue to be the boss in the law firm. Lawyer Su and I had a bad relationship for a long time. , Later, because of an opportunity, the two went on a business trip together, and they didn't talk about it until they came back.

It’s worth mentioning that Lawyer Su’s private life seems to be much better than before. I still can’t accept the purely sexual relationship where everyone gets what they want, but Lawyer Su has obviously changed a lot now. When Lawyer Yan appeared at home, they seemed to be strangers.

After I came back, Lawyer Su invited me to dinner.

He is a person who knows how to enjoy life. He was born in a high-spirited family. His family members have immigrated, but he is still in China. This is the gossip I got from Senior Sister Xue.He invited me to eat western food, the grilled lamb chops were very delicious, the salad was also very refreshing, the restaurant was very clean, and the night view downstairs could be seen from the window.He sat across from me, cutting the lamb chops very gracefully.

I was the one who started the conversation first, and I said, "I thought I would never have a chance to have dinner with Lawyer Su again."

Lawyer Su glanced at me: "Why do you say that?"

In fact, after falling out with Lawyer Su, I sometimes think back to the time when I and Lawyer Su were subordinates. I remember grilling bbq at his house at that time. There were many new interns in the office that year, and everyone was lively. Grill something to eat.Among them, there are one or two who have feelings for each other, and the atmosphere is very delicate.

For so many years, Lawyer Su has not changed.

In my memory, he seems to be like this, calm and self-sustaining, extremely professional, probably because of his extreme indifference, but it gives people a clean feeling.

I said, "Probably because I think Lawyer Su is a very proud person."

After I finished speaking, I also smiled. Children know that being proud is not a good thing, so my words are a bit like criticism.

But Lawyer Su didn't think so.

"Pride and judgment don't conflict." Lawyer Su was still very calm: "I don't hate you, I just have a problem with your attitude towards work."

This tone seems to be the posture of going to court.

I finally understand why people who live a happy life are mostly tolerant, because even if you encounter bad things, you can still think about other places.

"At that time, I also had a problem with my mentality." I calmly explained to him: "I left for three years because of an accident, but I refused to apologize when I came back because I felt ashamed to apologize..."

Lawyer Su is a person who does not take softness or hard work, but only takes reason.

Halfway through the meal, Zheng Ao called. He was asking me where I was all day long like a checker. It seems that Ye Susu said that he would be free a while ago when he was busy. Otherwise, he would not have so much time. .

I didn’t drive when I came, and Lawyer Su took me back, but he couldn’t get in, so he had to take me outside to the gate of the compound. It was snowing heavily outside, and he didn’t have an umbrella in the car. Fortunately, the overcoat I was wearing was similar to a raincoat.

When getting out of the car, he asked me: "Did you buy a car?"

I laughed, turned up the collar of my coat, and prepared to block the snow when I could walk: "There was one, but I didn't come back for three years. I don't know where it went. It might have been towed away. Now I'm going to save some money and go back again." Buy one, otherwise commuting will be too inconvenient.”

Lawyer Su was sitting in the driver's seat with his hands on the steering wheel. In fact, the sky was dark, but because of the light from the snow, the light looked very white. He was born to be suitable for winter. Just sitting like this, his whole body was like an ice sculpture.

He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just said: "You live here now?"

I nodded, not understanding why he asked this inexplicably.

Lawyer Su's hands were on the steering wheel. His skin was white, his fingers were long and strong, but when I saw the silent and serious expression on his side, I always felt that he had something to say to me.

"I'm alone now..." He only said half a sentence, but stopped for the rest of the sentence, and then he was silent for a moment, then took out a paper bag from the bag on the side, and handed it to me.

"what is this?"

It is a luxury item that is expensive at first glance, and the logo of the famous brand is also printed on the paper bag. I opened the paper bag, and there was a plaid scarf lying inside.

"Give it to me?" I was a little puzzled.

"I don't like it as a gift from the client." Attorney Su said lightly. I don't know when it started. The firm began to call the client a client. But as far as I know, Attorney Su never likes other people to send things. , or legal fees, or do not send.

I took the scarf off a little hesitantly. The cashmere texture is very comfortable, but it is very suitable for me to wear it when I go out now.

"Thank you."

Lawyer Su didn't say any more, opened the car door and let me get out.

On the way back, Zheng Ao came to pick him up.

This year's Chinese New Year is very lively.

There are two children at home, running around, Niu Niu gradually got used to this place, and no longer dragging a small trailer all day long, and follows Rui Rui every day as before, but there is a problem, Zheng’s family is Floor heating, the housekeeper probably added air conditioning because he was afraid that the child would catch a cold, which is probably too warm for Niu Niu. I wear thin sweaters for him and Rui Rui at home, with shirts inside, so he took off the sweaters .Ruirui told me: "Niu Niu doesn't like to wear clothes."

Niu Niu is a bit dull, and he didn't quite understand me when I tried to reason with him, so I had to tell Rui Rui to remind him to put on clothes if Niu Niu was cold.So Rui Rui often touched Niu Niu's hand impatiently to see if he was cold.

This is my first year in Zheng's house. The housekeeper is very hardworking and treats me as the master. He comes here to ask for instructions on various matters. He even asks me what kind of game to buy in the kitchen. I don't know if it was Zheng Ao's order. What's the matter.I don't know much about these things, so I let him decide for himself. He probably thinks that I trust him very much and is moved.

In fact, Chinese New Year is mainly about entertaining guests.The flavor of the New Year here is very strong. Before the Lantern Festival, it is considered a New Year’s festival. Guests come and go in an endless stream, entertaining all day long.The Zheng family is okay, with few relatives, mainly family friends.

Afraid of trouble, I greeted Zheng Ao and told him to pay attention, I would not do this.Zheng Ao smiled and said it was fine, but he didn't know if he really didn't care or was confident.

Sacrificing stoves, celebrating the new year, writing Spring Festival couplets, cutting window grilles, Zheng's mahogany carved panes, window grilles are pasted with a special flavor, and narcissus are placed everywhere. Narcissus, this is the first time Niu Niu saw a real narcissus, and he stood by and watched. Ruirui was afraid that he might think it was garlic and be poisoned, so she told him fiercely: "You can't eat this!"

Niu Niu gave a dumbfounded "Oh" and still stood watching. When I was cooking, he came to tell me: "Father Ruirui, daffodils are beautiful."

My hands were wet and I couldn't touch his head, so I smiled at him and asked him to play in the greenhouse. It would be better if a gardener looked at him.

The housekeeper was ordered by me to buy some orange trees and put them in the living room. They were about the height of a person, and the trees were full of red and red oranges, only a little bigger than a coat button. They were a bit like rock sugar oranges, very sweet.After about half an hour, Zheng Ao came over with one, and said to me while eating: "It tastes good."

He set a precedent, Niuniu and Ruirui sat under the tree to eat, put the toys on the carpet, and leaned against the orange tree to play. The poor housekeeper went to look twice a day, and brought the extra side of the oranges outside. so that the guests do not see it.

After eating for two days, it’s almost New Year’s Eve. Zheng Ao came from the study and saw the two of them sitting under the tree for a picnic. Rui Rui made a small train with Lego blocks, and the track was laid under the tree. Zheng Ao came to tease them: " Good boy, did you enjoy your meal?"

Niu Niu nodded happily and asked me: "Father Rui Rui, can strawberry trees be planted at home?"

Rui Rui dislikes him: "Strawberry is grass, not a tree!"

But the housekeeper did not know where he heard it, and he really brought some strawberries here, probably specially for Niu Niu and Rui Rui to play with, and replaced them with beautiful light yellow and light green flower pots, all of which were big ripe strawberries, It was so red and sweet, Niu Niu was happier than receiving a birthday present, squatting next to the strawberry and guarding it all day long, and only ate one after a long time.

Children naturally love plants, like the fruits they pick by themselves, and like the young shoots coming out of the soil with the seed husks on their heads.

I don't know why, when I see Niu Niu, I always feel like seeing me back then.I remember when I was a child, there was a plastic orange tree in the living room of my grandma’s house, with green leaves and orange fruits, and it was very dusty, but I liked it very much when I was a child, and always thought, it would be great if it was real.

This year has been very ordinary, like the years of ordinary people, but the two children are very happy.The New Year’s Eve dinner doesn’t really have any specifications. It’s all dishes that I usually like to eat. Braised lion’s head in braised sauce, a salted duck in sauce, boiled fish, Buddha jumping over the wall and seafood soup, steamed eggs with sea urchin, and Ruirui’s favorite baby dish in soup...the kitchen probably is right. I was very annoyed that they were overqualified and underutilized. I put all my energy on the vegetables and used all kinds of martial arts. All the vegetables were cooked so that they couldn’t look their original appearance. I took a bite of meat and it was tofu, and I took a bite of tofu and it turned into After eating radish, I feel that eating is almost like guessing riddles.

Niu Niu was a little dazed, and accidentally ate too much, and called me with his stomach: "Father Ruirui, help me rub my stomach."

After dinner, Niu Niu and Rui Rui are going to set off fireworks. The yard of the old house is small and there are many flowers and trees. The housekeeper specially cleared a snow field for them to play. Children can’t play with fireworks that are too dangerous, so they can only choose those with long lead wires. Put it on the ground and let the adults take it to order.Zheng Ao is holding Niu Niu, I am holding Rui Rui, Rui Rui likes a kind of fireworks that shoot up like a tree, it is extremely dazzling, fiery trees and silver flowers, even the servants and children are watching around, I will give them some, let them play.The yard was full of children's laughter, and no one knew who was setting off firecrackers outside. The housekeeper prepared red paper and asked Zheng Ao to write Spring Festival couplets.

I only know that Li Xiu has been practicing calligraphy since he was a child, but I didn’t know that Zheng Ao could also write brush calligraphy. The butler asked someone to move out the big desk in the study room, and the corridor was brightly lit. Zheng Ao was wearing a new windbreaker, although he was a little thinner , the back is also slender and beautiful, and the servants circled around, I thought it was interesting, and followed to see, Niuniu and Ruirui are not as tall as the table, and they also stood on tiptoes to watch, Niuniu's little fingers are fat, pointing After a long time, I recognized a word "one".

Zheng Ao's handwriting is good. Li Xiu's calligraphy is in regular script, and his handwriting is more like a thin gold style, but it is also quite special to write Spring Festival couplets. He is very proud of the secular auspicious Spring Festival couplets with thin gold style characters, so he specially showed me: "Xiao Lang, my handwriting looks good."

"It's not bad." I didn't want to hit him too much, so I held Niu Niu's hand that wanted to touch the inkstone: "The ink is dirty, Niu Niu."

In the evening, I bathe my two children. The custom of the Zheng family is to keep the year old. They burn an open fire, called the Tai Sui fire. There was a copper stove, and silver charcoal was burned inside. Zheng Ao sat lazily on the single sofa.

I came to ask him about the red envelope.

"I prepared two red envelopes." I asked him, "Do you have any red envelopes for your children?"

Zheng Ao had a surprised expression: "We also want to give it?"

"We must give red envelopes during Chinese New Year." I was surprised: "Shouldn't parents give red envelopes?"

Zheng Ao suddenly looked aggrieved: "I didn't accept it during Chinese New Year."

It was only then that I realized that according to Zheng Yehu, Zheng Ao belonged to Guan Ying to plot against him. Maybe he really didn't pay attention to these small aspects, and if he wanted to give it, it was Guan Ying.

I touched Zheng Ao's head, he rubbed against me like a very obedient person, put his arms around my waist, and sat down on the sofa with his arms around me. Hum twice.

"Later we are going to give out red envelopes to the children, and the red envelopes should be placed under the pillow." I curled up on the sofa thoughtfully, and patted him comfortingly: "Don't be sad, let the housekeeper prepare the red envelopes Bar."

He didn't know if he listened or not, he sniffed my neck absently: "Xiao Lang, what kind of shower gel did you use, it smells so good..."

I didn't take a bath at all, but I got wet while taking a bath for Rui Rui and Niu Niu, so I changed my clothes.

I hit him on the head.

"Did you hear what I said?" I knew he was a tough guy, "Quickly ask the butler to prepare the red envelope."

The two of us have always been separated financially. The red envelope I gave me was what he gave him.Although I live in Zheng's house, the food and clothing are all his family's expenses, but if I want to buy anything for Rui Rui and Niu Niu, I will pay for it myself.That's it, and my savings are running low.It seems that after the new year, you have to work hard.

Tired of sitting on the sofa for a while, the butler finally brought the red envelope, and Zheng Ao and I went to the room of Ruirui and Niu Niu, and the two of them hid in the tent to read again, and sat up when they saw me.

"This is the red envelope from Dad." I knelt down and gave them two red envelopes: "In the new year, be obedient and healthy."

Niu Niu seemed half-understandable, but Rui Rui was clever and took it obediently: "Happy New Year, Dad, be healthy and everything goes well."

Niu Niu came to his senses, and followed Rui Rui, but he couldn't remember everything: "Father is in good health..."

I patted his head: "Good boy, take the red envelope."

Zheng Ao also lazily gave the red envelope: "Boys, be more obedient this year, and don't let your dad worry about it."

Ruirui snorted, looking like he didn't come for food, but Niu Niu accepted it obediently, looked at the two red envelopes of different thicknesses for a while, and then handed the red envelopes to me.

"Father Ruirui, here you are."

"What are you doing for me?" I didn't answer: "The red envelope is for you, put it under the pillow."

"The red envelopes should be given to adults." Niu Niu didn't know where the theory came from, but he remembered it very clearly: "Children can't take money."

I laughed and stroked his hair: "Niu Niu can take the money. If you want to buy anything or books, you can tell the butler and let the butler buy it for Niu Niu."

Niu Niu seemed to hesitate.

But when I was going to sleep at night, Zheng Ao was taking a shower, but there was a knock on the door.

I went to open the door, and Niu Niu was standing at the door of my bedroom, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt with half of the hem stuck in his trousers.

"What's wrong? Niu Niu." I knelt down and talked to him.

"Father Ruirui," Niu Niu scratched his stomach, and took out the red envelope from his pants pocket: "Here is the red envelope."

"The red envelope is for Niu Niu himself." I told him.

"But you work very hard to make money." Niu Niu told me blankly.

I was taken aback, but I still patted his head, and told him with a smile: "It's okay, I will work hard to make money, Niu Niu, don't worry about me, go to bed early."

Niu Niu didn't know if he understood. He scratched his stomach thoughtfully, and seemed to be going back to sleep, but after taking two steps, he came back again: "Father Rui Rui, I have something to ask you..."

"What's the matter?" I knelt down and took his hand and asked him with a smile.

Niu Niu's clear black eyes looked at me with a little confusion.

"Are you my dad?" he asked.
