Uninvited Rebirth

On the night of Christmas Eve, Xiang Yuan took Doudou and stood at the door of the company waiting for Qin Wenyan to drive out. There was no wind at night, but it was not too cold. Doudou was tightly wrapped, jumping up and down on the steps, Xiang Yuan Yuan was carrying a small bag of Doudou. The street was more lively than usual. After all, it was Christmas Eve. There was a small stall next to the newsstand with packaged Ping An fruit on it. Xiang Yuan exhaled twice into his cold hands and pulled With Doudou, I went to buy two Ping An fruits.

So when Qin Wenyan drove out, he saw two extra bags in Xiang Yuan's hand, opened the door and waited for Xiang Yuan and Doudou to come in, and asked, "Ping An Guo?"

Xiang Yuan nodded and handed one to Qin Wenyan, and the other to Doudou, "It's for you."

Qin Wenyan picked it up, and looked out again. It seemed that he wanted to go out to buy Ping An Guo, so Xiang Yuan held him back and smiled, "You don't need to buy it. I'll give you half of your share when you go back."

After arriving home, Doudou held a bright red apple and wanted to eat it. Xiang Yuan was worried that it would ruin his stomach if it was too cold, so he covered it with hot water for a long time before handing it to Doudou. The apple was too big, so Xiang Yuan cut it open and gave it to Peas in half.

Qin Wenyan washed one of his safe fruits, cut it with a knife, and gave half of it to Xiang Yuan. Xiang Yuan had half an apple in each hand, took a bite from one side and another from the other.In the warm room, on the beige sofa, Doudou is sitting in the middle, with two adults on both sides, animation is playing on the TV, and there is constant laughter. It really is a warm and happy family.

The next day is Christmas, and the company does not have a holiday. According to Xiang Yuan's idea, work is too busy at the end of the year, so he might as well live as usual.But Zhao's mother is obviously an elder who keeps up with the trend. She booked a private room in a famous Chinese restaurant long ago, and said hello to Xiang Yuan, Qin Wenyan and others, especially Chen Dong, and said that they would have lunch together.Because it was not Sunday, Doudou still had to go to kindergarten, but Mother Zhao told Xiang Yuan to take Doudou out for Christmas one day in advance, so she asked Doudou to take leave of absence. As soon as she was brought to the company, Zhao Mother took it away.

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Yuan and Qin Wenyan were about to go to the restaurant and called Shu Ya. Shu Ya shyly said that she had an appointment with Wang Shi. Xiang Yuan shook his head, this woman in love... Zhao Yu was at the door When the two of them arrived at the restaurant and entered the private room, Zhao's mother and Zhao's father were already there, with peas all over their bodies.

Xiang Yuan and Qin Wenyan first greeted Zhao's father, and then sat down. Xiang Yuan looked at Doudou lying on the table and opened his eyes wide. Zhao's mother peeled a walnut for Doudou and handed it to Doudou's mouth. Proudly smiling, he said to Xiang Yuan, "Xiang Yuan, look, isn't Doudou cute?"

Doudou chewed walnuts, and waved his small hands to the few people who had just taken their seats, "Dad, Wen Yan, Dad, Uncle Zhao."

Looking at such Doudou, Xiang Yuan rushed over to knead and knead, "What should I do if it becomes more and more cute?"

Qin Wenyan was also amused by such a child, "Santa Doudou, do you have any presents for me?"

Doudou was changed from top to bottom by Zhao's mother. She was wearing a red hat with a small white ball on the tip, a red padded jacket and trousers, a pair of black boots with fur edges on her feet, and there was a hanging on the chair next to her. A red cloth bag, a reindeer-shaped balloon tied to Doudou’s chair, Santa’s equipment is complete, and he looks so cute.

Zhao Yu squeezed Doudou's little face, picked up the red bag and flipped through it, and smiled, "There are really gifts, they are all candy, Doudou, do you have mine?"

Doudou looked up at Zhao Yu and smiled, "Grandma and grandpa bought it for me. Grandma also said that dad and uncle will give me gifts, and then I can fill the bag up."

When Xiang Yuan and Qin Wenyan heard Doudou's words, they couldn't help being amused, shaking their heads and laughing, Zhao Yu was also happy, and hung up the cloth bag for Doudou again, "Aren't you, Santa Claus, here to share presents?" Instead, you came to receive gifts?"

Doudou nodded cheerfully, "Grandma said that my father and uncle would buy me a lot of presents, so they bought me a big bag."

Xiang Yuan carried Doudou over. Looking at the small pile of nut shells in front of Zhao's mother, he knew that Doudou had eaten a lot of nuts and couldn't give him any more, otherwise he would not be able to eat for lunch. He poured a cup of hot water and fed it to him. Doudou said, "Hey, drink some water."

Doudou took Xiang Yuan's hand and sipped water, and Xiang Yuan pinched Doudou's Santa's clothes to look at, and heard Zhao's mother's anxious voice, "Why hasn't Xiaodong come yet? Ayu, call and ask, Is it a traffic jam or what?"

Zhao Yu called obediently, said a few words to the other end of the phone, hung up the phone and said to Mother Zhao: "Mom, Chen Dong said he is on the way and will be there soon."

"That's good." Mother Zhao said with a smile.

Xiang Yuan glanced at Father Zhao who had no expression on his face, then at Mother Zhao who was smiling, and sighed in his heart, it seems that Mother Zhao liked Chen Dong quite a bit... They chatted and waited for a while, When Chen Dong came, Mother Zhao pushed away Zhao Yu who was sitting next to her, "Move to the side, Xiao Dong, come and sit next to me."

Chen Dong smiled and called Zhao's mother aunt, looked at Zhao's father, and called Zhao's uncle again.Father Zhao looked at Chen Dong who had a pretty face, and he had heard from his wife that this was her daughter-in-law. Although she was good-looking, she was a man. No matter how he thought about it, he was awkward, so Father Zhao couldn't tell Chen Dong what to do in time. At the sound of Uncle's response, Zhao's mother stared at her and stretched out her hand and twisted it. Zhao's father almost cried out in pain, and quickly responded, "Hey, Xiaodong? Don't stand still, sit down quickly."

Chen Dong sat in the seat given by Zhao Yu, and greeted Xiang Yuan and Qin Wenyan who were facing him. When he looked at Doudou, the smile in his eyes grew wider, "Doudo, today is Santa Claus."

Doudou writhed in Xiang Yuan's arms, "Uncle Chen, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss you."

Chen Dong looked surprised, "Oh, baby Doudou is so good, I miss you too."

As a result, Doudou crawled out of Xiang Yuan's arms, took her red cloth bag, "Uncle Chen, I want a Christmas present."

Chen Dong was amused and laughed even more happily, "Little Santa Claus, are you here to collect presents? But I don't have one now, can I buy it for you after dinner?"

"Okay," Doudou replied crisply, "Father still wants to buy, Wen Yan's father wants to buy, and Uncle Zhao also wants to buy."

Xiang Yuan shook his head and laughed, "This kid remembers it really clearly."

Zhao's mother looked at Chen Dong more and more satisfied, elbowed Zhao's father, and whispered to him: "How is it? How is your son's vision?"

Zhao's father still felt awkward, sighed, was stared at by Zhao's mother, and said helplessly: "Okay."

Now that everyone is here, after ordering and serving, Xiang Yuan's family is eating happily. Doudou sits between Qin Wenyan and Xiang Yuan, and he just needs to open his mouth to eat. Qin Wenyan knows that Doudou Doudou likes to eat shrimp balls, so he put more shrimp balls for him to eat. Xiang Yuan put celery and shredded pork for Doudou. Shrimp and shredded pork.

Xiang Yuan pinched Doudou's little face, "Don't be picky eaters, eat celery quickly."

After Doudou frowned and finished eating the celery, Xiang Yuan picked up a chicken wing for him, "Hey, eat chicken wings, you like this."

So Doudou, who was frowning because of eating celery, smiled instantly, and ate the chicken wings with her hands.

Chen Dong was a little overwhelmed, and Zhao's mother asked him while picking up vegetables, "Xiaodong, what do you like to eat? What do you think of the pickled fish here?"

On the contrary, as sons, Zhao Yu and Chen Dong are much more pitiful in comparison. While picking up vegetables and eating in silence, Chen Dong understands Zhao's mother's temperament, and he is touched by the fact that he rarely feels the warmth of family affection, so he gets along with Zhao's mother more and more. the better.

Another bowl of soup was placed on the table, it was steaming hot, Mother Zhao filled the bowl and offered it to Chen Dong, but Chen Dong hurriedly refused, saying: "Auntie, I will do it myself." But when waiting for the soup, Chen Dong first picked up the soup from the side Zhao Yu's bowl filled him, and then filled it for himself.

When Mother Zhao saw his actions, the admiration and satisfaction in her eyes almost overflowed.

Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Chen Dong, a little surprised. In the past, the two had their own meals, but Chen Dong had never served him soup. Why are they so... virtuous today?Feeling Zhao Yu's gaze, Chen Dong's ears felt a little hot, and he was not a fool, how could he not see the reason why Zhao's mother treated him so well?It's instinct to behave better in front of the other's parents, right?

Different from the cozy private room environment here, Lan Yueyang and Lin Qing huddled together in a Malatang shop, eating rich Malatang amidst the loud voices of people.Lan Yueyang asked Lin Qing out for dinner. Lin Qing thought that he could save money on a meal, so he agreed and came out, but when he heard Lan Yueyang said that he would go to a western restaurant, he was not happy, and muttered, "I don't want to eat western food." , can’t get enough to eat, and there are too many rules to die for.”

Lan Yueyang was helpless, "Then what do you eat? Listen to you."

So Lin Qing happily dragged him to this small shop with an area of ​​less than [-] square meters, and said to him like offering a treasure: "The food in this store is delicious, and the boss is good. The food is enough and not expensive. .”

Lan Yueyang had never set foot in such a store, especially when he was wearing a neat suit, which attracted the attention of the whole room. Lan Yueyang looked at the oil on the table and felt uncomfortable, but looked at Lin Qing's eyes. It's shiny, but I can only take a deep breath and hold on!

Lan Yueyang had never eaten Malatang, so Lin Qing ordered his bowl, and said: "According to my experience of eating Malatang for so many years, these are all delicious."

Lan Yueyang's eating posture is elegant, with his back straight, his hands holding chopsticks are slender, and the chopsticks are holding something to his mouth. He eats without making a sound, and the little girl next to him is almost bursting out of his eyes.And Lin Qing opposite him was another extreme, his head was almost buried in the bowl, his chopsticks were clamped quickly, and he made a grunting sound while drinking the soup.Looking up, he saw Lan Yueyang put aside the food he didn't want to eat, and immediately stretched out his chopsticks, his mouth bulging, "You don't want to eat it? I don't know how to appreciate such delicious food."

Lan Yueyang watched Lin Qing's chopsticks withdraw from his bowl, paused, and continued eating.No one has ever picked anything from his bowl. Before putting it away, he would definitely put down his chopsticks and stop eating, but if Lin Qing said it, he could bear it. Looking at Lin Qing's thinness, he couldn't tell that he was so edible. Seeing that the big bowl was about to bottom out, he smiled, "It's like a pig, it's so edible."

Lin Qing whimpered and rolled his eyes, "Can you control it?"

Coming out of Malatang shophouse, Lan Yueyang took a deep breath, and finally it no longer smelled like Malatang.Lin Qing was wearing a bright yellow down jacket and walked forward, Lan Yueyang followed him with a smile on his lips, passing by a store, and saw a candy box hanging on the Christmas tree in front of the store, Lan Yueyang could tell at a glance that the candy was Really, he smiled at the staff and reached out to pick up a candy box. The little girl looking at the Christmas tree was dazzled by his smile, and an adult took away a gift box for children without any warning.

"Lin Qing, look." Lan Yueyang spread his hand in front of Lin Qing, with a candy box lying on the palm.

"Huh?" Lin Qing wondered, "Where did you come from?"

Lan Yueyang pointed back, "I picked it from the Christmas tree."

Lin Qing turned around, "No, I want to pick one too."

Lan Yueyang quickly pulled him back, "I picked it secretly, and I was glared at by the female employee just now. If you go, you might be scolded. I'll give you this."

Only then was Lin Qing satisfied. He shook the candy box and rolled his eyes when he heard the sound of the candies colliding inside, "Thank you, I'll make you my specialty cake tomorrow."

Lan Yueyang had lingering fears about Lin Qing's cake, so he quickly refused, "Don't, I really don't enjoy your cake."

Lin Qing laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I won't punish you this time."
