Christmas is coming soon, the company is getting busier day by day, Qi Die gave up learning cello from Xia Lusheng, and began to concentrate on work, Gu Yitong was even more busy without touching the ground.

After returning from the cemetery last time, Xia Lusheng began to spend more time on the cello. Everyone has their own things to be busy with.

After dealing with the affairs in the company, it was past eight o'clock in the evening when I got home. Gu Yitong opened the door and said, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat tonight?"

Xia Lusheng thought about it seriously: "I want to eat shredded potatoes!"

"Okay, here you are..." Seeing the lights in the living room, Gu Yitong paused.

Mother Gu came out of the kitchen with a plate and saw two people: "Oh, why did you come back so late? I called you and turned off the phone. Lu Sheng, come in quickly, come here, haven't you eaten yet?"

Gu Yitong came back to his senses, helped Xia Lusheng change his shoes, and then went into the living room: "Mom, why are you here suddenly?"

"Tomorrow's winter solstice, I'll make dumplings for you."

Gu Yitong laughed, she had never seen Gu's mother attach so much importance to the winter solstice before.

Gu's mother urged the two of them: "Go wash your hands and eat."

At the dinner table, Gu's mother's eyes fell on Xia Lusheng frequently, and after organizing her words, Gu's mother tentatively asked, "Lu Sheng, how is Yitong treating you? Are you happy staying here?"

Xia Lusheng nodded without hesitation: "Sister Yitong is very kind to me."

Mother Gu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Then...then will you stay here forever?"

As soon as the words came out, Xia Lusheng slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, his hands became entangled, and his whole body tensed up.

Gu Yitong frowned and looked at Gu's mother: "Mom, this is Lu Sheng's home, where is Lu Sheng not here?"

At this time, Mama Gu also realized that her words were ambiguous, as if she wanted to chase Xia Lusheng away, and quickly explained: "Lusheng, don't get me wrong, it's because Auntie didn't express clearly, Auntie really hopes you can stay here."

Xia Lusheng's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Gu Yitong raised his hand to cover Xia Lusheng's, held it gently, and comforted her silently.

After dinner, Xia Lusheng went to wash up, and Gu Yitong pulled Mama Gu to the balcony.

She stared at Gu's mother with burning eyes, and cut to the point: "What happened? Why did you come here on purpose?"

Gu's mother avoided Gu Yitong's gaze, and still insisted on her own words: "Isn't tomorrow the winter solstice, come here to make dumplings for you."

Gu Yitong obviously didn't believe it, she stared at Gu's mother and said nothing.

After a stalemate for a long time, Gu's mother finally couldn't resist Gu Yitong's gaze, compromised and said truthfully: "It was Lu Sheng's father who contacted me. He wanted to take Lu Sheng back. I was a little uneasy, so I came to have a look."

Gu Yitong was stunned, and then sneered: "Now you want to pick Lu Sheng back? Why did you go so early?"

"He said that he was ill, and he didn't have a few years to live. The more this time comes, the more he regrets what he did to Aunt Xia and Lu Sheng before. Now he wants to make amends and make up for Lu Sheng."

Gu Yitong said in a cold tone: "Compensation? How to compensate? Aunt Xia is gone, Lu Sheng..." Lu Sheng doesn't need him as a father now.

Gu Yitong didn't say the latter words when it came to his lips. She was not sure what Xia Lusheng thought.

Mother Gu couldn't calm down: "I rejected him on the phone. I didn't want Lu Sheng to recognize him. He was so straightforward when he left. Why can he turn back if he wants to? Forgive him if he says something wrong. What evils did you commit? It's just..."

With a low tone, Mother Gu sighed: "It's just that we can't represent Lu Sheng after all. Life belongs to Lu Sheng, and the choice is also Lu Sheng's. It still depends on Lu Sheng's meaning."

Gu's mother thought the same as Gu Yitong, and the two fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little dull.

"By the way, Lu Sheng received a box some time ago, which contained several newly bought winter clothes. I don't know who bought it, could it be Lu Sheng's father? No, the front desk of the hotel said that the box was sent by a woman... ..."

Gu's mother didn't know about this, she frowned when she heard Gu Yitong's words, and thought about it: "Maybe it's Lu Sheng's aunt, her aunt is in City A."

"Miss Yitong..."

Xia Lusheng's voice came, and Gu Yitong responded, leaving the balcony and coming to the master bedroom.

Xia Lusheng wrapped her hair with a towel, squatted in front of the cabinet in the bathroom, groped inside, heard footsteps and asked: "Sister Yitong, why can't I find the hair dryer?"

Stepping forward to help Xia Lusheng up, Gu Yitong said: "I received it elsewhere, don't move, just stand here and wait for me."

After getting the hair dryer, Gu Yitong plugged it in, took off the scarf on Xia Lusheng's head, turned on the hair dryer to blow her hair naturally, and slender fingers shuttled through Xia Lusheng's hair skillfully.

"Lu Sheng, do you miss Aunt Xia?"

Xia Lusheng was startled, then nodded silently for a moment: "I think so."

Feeling that the hair was already [-]% dry, Gu Yitong turned on the hair dryer and put it away. After closing the cabinet, he hesitated and said, "What about your father? Will you miss him?"

Xia Lusheng didn't react for a while, and then she showed surprise on her face: "Why do you think of him?"

The tone was genuinely puzzled.

Gu Yitong choked: "Everyone has a father, you..."

Xia Lusheng shook her head, she had her own thoughts: "He didn't want me and my mother, why should I miss him?"

Hearing Xia Lusheng's words, a smile appeared on Gu Yitong's face, and he reached out and rubbed her head.

When the two came to the living room, Mama Gu had already prepared the dumpling filling and was rolling out the dumpling wrappers on the small chopping board.

Gu Yitong took La Xia Lusheng's hand: "Do you want to make dumplings?"

Xia Lusheng was a little nervous: "I, I won't."

"It's okay, I'll teach you, come on."

Gu's mother poured cold water on the side: "You yourself are a bottle full of half a bottle, so you have the nerve to teach Lu Sheng?"

Gu Yitong ignored Gu's mother, just like she took Xia Lusheng with her hand to cut the cake before, she let Xia Lusheng sit on the stool in front of the table, then picked up a rolled dumpling wrapper and put it in Xia Lusheng's hands, took a spoon to sip some dumpling filling Put it in the leather, then grabbed Xia Lusheng's hand, folded his hands together and squeezed it skillfully.

A... flat dumpling came out.

Gu's mother kept looking at the two of them, and couldn't help laughing when she saw the finished product: "It's ugly, but it works, as long as you don't reveal your secrets."

Gu Yitong took another dumpling wrapper and put it in Xia Lusheng's hands, and said softly, "One more."

Mother Gu looked at the two of them with a smile, and then asked, "Christmas Eve and Christmas will be in three or four days, and New Year's Day will be in a few days. Is the company very busy?"

Speaking of this, Gu Yitong suddenly raised his head to look at Gu's mother, and said: "Mom, the company is getting more and more busy now, and there will be no time to take care of Lu Sheng in a few days, can you come and stay for a while, pick up Lu Sheng's school violin?"

Gu Yitong made this request after careful consideration. First of all, Mama Gu will definitely not lose Xia Lusheng, and secondly, Mama Gu and Xia Lusheng got along pretty well alone before, and since that time, Xia Lusheng's alienation from Mama Gu has gradually weakened.

Gu's mother was planning to stay here for a while, and at this moment, Gu Yitong's words hit her heart, and she responded straight away: "You are busy with your work, and I will take care of Lu Sheng."

Xia Lusheng, who was huddled in Gu Yitong's arms, was stunned for a moment, and accidentally made a mistake in his hand, and the dumpling stuffing leaked out from the edge, touching her hand.

Xia Lusheng raised his head blankly, then lowered it again.

Gu Yitong noticed the change in the little girl's expression, leaned over to the little girl's ear, and coaxed slightly: "The company has received a big order, and there are still many scattered small orders. It will be very busy. From New Year's Day, I will I can't pick you up like now, let Aunt Gu take you off, okay?"

Xia Lusheng unconsciously pinched the torn dumpling in his hand, the dumpling filling was sticky on his hands, and it took a while before he answered: "Okay."

Gu Yitong took the dumpling from Xia Lusheng's hand, threw it into the trash can, then took a tissue from the table, and gently wiped Xia Lusheng's hands.

Intellectually, Xia Lusheng understands Gu Yitong, and she also knows how busy Gu Yitong is now, and it would be best to let Gu's mother pick her up to learn the piano, but understanding is understanding, and emotionally there is still a trace of grievance for no reason.

Seeing Xia Lusheng's pitiful appearance, Gu Yitong felt a little soft-hearted, but she really couldn't take care of Xia Lusheng well when the company was busy.

"Let's learn Braille at home too. I'll tell Ye Li tomorrow that she doesn't have to go to the company, but come directly to the house." Gu Yitong wiped the dumpling stuffing from Xia Lusheng's hands, and then asked: "Do you still want to make dumplings? "

Xia Lusheng shook his head.

Gu's mother looked at Xia Lusheng's pitiful little appearance, as if she had been abandoned, and she couldn't laugh or cry. Is it so wronged to ask her to pick him up?

Because of Gu's mother, Gu Yitong went to the company early the next morning. At noon, Gu's mother called Gu Yitong and said that Lu Sheng insisted on waiting for her to come home from get off work to eat dumplings.

Gu Yitong looked at the unfinished hotel information in his hand, hesitated for a while, then closed the folder, and took a stack of information home.

Gu's mother brought the cooked dumplings to the dining table, and then turned her head to look at Gu Yitong on the sofa dissatisfied: "Can I not work when I go home? How come you have become a workaholic just like your Uncle Qi."

Gu Yitong said without raising his head: "I don't have much time. This is the information Dadie gave me in the morning. I'm going to discuss cooperation with these hotels in the afternoon. I didn't make any preparations before, so I can only hold my feet now."

"Then you also want to eat?" Gu's mother was a little helpless.

Gu Yitong went to the dining table with the documents in his arms, kept writing and drawing with a pen to make notes, and the dumplings in the bowl were eaten very slowly.

Mother Gu couldn't take it anymore and slapped the table.

Before the words of reprimand were spoken, Xia Lusheng defended Gu Yitong in a low voice: "Aunt Gu, Sister Yitong doesn't do this every day, she...she just has too much time today, don't be angry."

Mother Gu's words paused on her lips.

Hearing Xia Lusheng's words, Gu Yitong withdrew his attention from the information and looked at Xia Lusheng with a smile. He was in a good mood, and the little girl's appearance of defending herself was really cute.

Gu's mother looked at Gu Yitong sourly: "Okay, for the sake of Lu Sheng speaking for you, I won't blame you."

In a blink of an eye, it was Christmas Eve.

The orders gathered at night, and Gu Yitong ran back and forth from one hotel to another to process the orders. After all the customers were settled, it was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.

I only ate a few dumplings at noon, and I didn't have time for dinner. Gu Yitong was tired and hungry, and came out of the hotel exhausted. When he came to the car, he didn't sit in immediately, but leaned on the car to rest slowly.

"Sister, buy a safe fruit, it will be safe and sound." The little girl's voice sounded from in front of her.

Gu Yitong looked up, and the young girl was clumsily carrying a basket with a packaged apple in her hand, looking at her expectantly.

The little girl smiled sweetly: "It's not expensive, it costs five yuan each, sister can buy one."

Gu Yitong asked: "Why are you selling Ping An fruit at such a young age? What about your family?"

Hearing this, the little girl made a silent gesture to Gu Yitong mysteriously, then lowered her voice, and said, "I came out to earn extra money, and I came out without telling my family."

Gu Yitong was amused: "Then how much money did you earn?"

"I'll tell you if you buy a safe fruit." The little girl blinked and negotiated terms.

Gu Yitong took out his wallet, squeezed Zhang Twenty's out, and put it in the little girl's basket: "Tell me."

The little girl quickly took out four apples and put them on the car, and after pointing two fingers at Gu Yitong, she bounced away.

Gu Yitong looked at Ping An Guo and remembered Xia Lusheng. She took out her mobile phone and called Gu's mother.

"Hey mom, are you asleep? That's just right, don't sleep yet, you bring Lu Sheng to Gongyi Square, let's spend Christmas Eve together."
