The leisurely life of rebirth

Along the way, Xia Liu and Zhou You chatted happily.

It's true that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.

Sun Li sat next to her, feeling both sad and happy.

Sad things, such scenes rarely occur, only after the family fell apart, the warmth of the family is no longer there.

Happy things may gradually get on the right track in the future, even if not in the traditional sense.

When she didn't know Zhou You again, Sun Li was pursued by many people. However, because of the hurt in her family, she was full of fear of marriage and love.

At that time, if it were not on the verge of collapse,

Under the double blow of life and work, there will not be a situation of making firewood and traveling around.

In fact, I regretted it later, but as I got along with Zhou You, it became more and more natural, very casual, and not too restrictive.

Until I met Wang Fangfang in the cinema.

I was really desperate at that time.

I accidentally ended up on the same path as my parents. I wanted to break it off, but I was unwilling to do so. I endured it for a few days and made it clear. Unexpectedly, the clouds opened and the moon rose.

Went on another path.

I have also accepted the current status quo. Overall, I am satisfied, free, free and easy. I still have enough time, and I don’t have to worry about the trivial matters of everyday lovers.

Although there are some extravagant hopes, they are extravagant hopes after all.

My parents have already set an example for me. How can there be a cat that doesn't steal fish?

Besides, I can’t stand it either!

Watch along the way and recall along the way.

I didn't expect that I would reach this point without knowing it, and I would actually meet my parents. It's really strange.

I don't know what Zhou You is thinking, this man is so confident.

I still have too much heart,

Challenging the world alone?

When Xia Liu arrived at the community, she saw that it was still a familiar community. It was this community when she came last year.

"Lily, will you graduate next year?" Xia Liu asked when she came home.

It's okay not to ask. While Zhou You was here, Xia Liu also wanted to sort things out a little.

"Well, more or less. I'm only a second-year graduate student. I have to graduate from a third-year graduate school. Besides, maybe I'll also study for a Ph.D." Sun Li did have this idea. Studying for a Ph.D. will not affect her work or herself. cause.

Besides, what kind of career should I do to own such a big house and car in the capital?

Xia Liu can no longer control Sun Li, but she still wants to worry more about it. If her daughter cannot fight for it, she, as a mother, still has to fight for it.

Seeing Zhou You like this, it was hard for him to talk.

He looked at the time and said, "Auntie, let's take a short break and go to eat later."

"Ah, can you just eat at home? It's troublesome to go out to eat." Xia Liu was also a little unsure, not knowing what the situation would be like when traveling around.

"It's okay, everything has been arranged. Let's go eat some private cuisine today." Zhou You now also tasted the benefits of private cuisine.

The food is not bad. The key is that the environment is elegant and quiet, which is very suitable for some receptions.

Privacy is great.

It's the same courtyard as last time, and the tour has been booked.

Sun Li thought for a while, and it was really hard to talk about some things in a dry conversation. It might be better to drink some red wine at the dinner table, which could alleviate some of the embarrassment.

"Mom, let's go and try it. It tastes pretty good."

Seeing this, Xia Liu could only nod. He could only be considered half a guest now.

Just put your luggage down and pack it up.

Zhou You went downstairs first to give them space to chat.

When Xia Liu saw people leaving, he took Sun Li and said, "Why don't we go, or simply eat something nearby. It's not easy for you in the capital, so it's better to save a little."

There was no way, Xia Liu had neither the ability nor much savings.

In fact, I came to the capital not only to relax and see my children, but I always felt a little shortchanged.

The other thing is to see if I can do something to lighten the burden on my children. It’s not interesting to stay at home all the time. Besides, being alone is indeed a bit lonely.

When Sun Li heard her mother say this, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

After the divorce that year, my mother really didn't have much money. If she added money to buy a small apartment for herself, it would probably be empty.

Then I live in a small house.

She took Xia Liu's hand and said, "Mom, it's okay. The situation between Zhou You and I is a bit complicated. You know I don't want to get married, and Zhou You won't get married in a short time either."

"However, there is still no shortage of money. Let him talk to you about the rest while eating."

Sun Li expressed her attitude first. It was still her original attitude and she would not get married.

The rest can be discussed slowly.

When Xia Liu heard this, she fell silent. She raised her head and glanced at Sun Li, then lowered her head and said softly: "Well, my parents can't forgive you and didn't set a good example for you, Mom." I won’t force you, as long as you live a safe and happy life.”

After saying these words, Xia Liu's expression relaxed.

A brief exchange, mixed emotions.

Adults have a lot of helplessness.

But the tone was set.

"Mom, I'm very happy now. It's almost as fast as when I was a child. You were happy before you were divorced." Sun Li said to Xia Liu with a smile.

When Xia Liu heard this, she couldn't hold it back any longer, and tears burst into her eyes.

He was clinging to the sofa, his shoulders twitching constantly, and he was crying softly.

Yes, the child is innocent.

She cannot decide her own destiny, nor can she interfere with her parents' decisions, she can only passively accept them.

If you meet good parents, you can still spend your childhood happily.

There is nothing you can do when you encounter irresponsible parents.

A happy childhood can heal a lifetime, but an unfortunate childhood takes a lifetime to heal!

When Sun Li saw her mother crying, she still felt a sense of revenge deep in her heart, and finally made her parents feel the pain.

However, the main responsibility does not lie with his mother. She can also be regarded as a victim, and his father accounts for the majority.

He stepped forward and hugged his mother, touching her shoulders: "Mom, it's over. We have to look forward. Zhou You is still waiting below. I believe he will protect me forever."

Xia Liu raised her head and looked at her daughter. Only then did she feel that her daughter had really grown up, matured, and could survive independently in society.

He stood up, walked to the bathroom, held cold water in his hands, and patted it on his face.

The stimulation of the cold water quickly relieved Xia Liu's mood.

Yes, people have to look forward.

There is no solution. You cannot keep looking back and see things that cannot be solved or changed.

I smiled in the mirror. As we age, our spirits become more sensitive.

Many people say that when they get older, they are more afraid of their children. Xia Liu didn't feel that much before, but now that she's retired, she really feels helpless.

I have been used to relying on others my whole life! Zhou Wandering down below asked Battelle and the others to take a taxi while he and Li Houliang waited below.

The two of them were bored and thought they would be down in a few minutes.

Unexpectedly, half an hour passed in a flash.

"Brother Liang, do you think what I did was right?" Zhou You asked a question from his soul.

In fact, this is just asking yourself again and again, and finding a comfort, an excuse, and a justifiable reason for yourself.

Li Houliang was stunned. He didn't know that Zhou You suddenly asked such a question. The two of them had never talked about such a question for so long.

My mind was spinning, and it was really hard to answer.

If his wife asks himself, it goes without saying that everyone on earth knows where the standard answer is.

But this is Brother You asking again!

Seeing that the atmosphere immediately became tense, Li Houliang looked at the old dead trees outside and said softly: "Brother You, I remember you told me before, people, no matter what, live their lives."

"Yeah, no matter what, it's a lifetime, why do you want to think so much." Zhou You laughed happily.

The co-pilot patted Li Houliang on the shoulder: "Brother Liang, you can do it. You have mastered the essence of life."

Li Houliang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew that he had successfully passed the test. He couldn't help but admire himself. How could he say such philosophical words?

Grinning, he said: "Brother You, I have been trained by you. I didn't know anything before and I didn't read. Now my wife says I am literate."

"Hahahahaha" Zhou You couldn't hold back and laughed loudly.

In this world, everyone is flattering.

I know it's fake, but I'm still happy inside. This is the charm of language.

"Brother Liang, remember not to spill anything. When the time comes, I will explain myself." Zhou You warned.

Thinking about it now, Li Houliang did know a lot of his secrets, but there was nothing he could do about it, with only a few people around him.

Besides, everyone knows that after following him for a long time, the closest people around him are almost his secretaries, drivers and bodyguards.

After listening to this, Li Houliang couldn't sit still anymore. He unbuckled his seat belt and twisted his whole body to Zhou You.

"Brother You, you can rest assured on this. I will definitely keep my word, and I have given it to Battelle and Batu, who often follow me. Everyone has stipulated this system."

"Once word spreads to anyone, they will bear the consequences at their own risk. At the least, they will be fired directly. In the most serious cases, they will be held legally responsible."

Zhou You nodded. He had never heard of the news and basically never talked about such topics.

However, as the situation becomes more and more complex in the future, this point still needs to be discussed in advance.

"Brother Liang, the whole team depends on you. When Xiaosi comes back from now on, you two will take turns."

"Okay, Brother You, don't worry!" Li Houliang is a man of action and doesn't say too many words to express his loyalty.

Sun Li and Xia Liu finally came out, holding hands and looking as normal.

"Brother You, I kept you waiting for a long time, and something delayed me a little bit." Sun Li explained.

"It's okay. You and aunt haven't seen each other for a long time. You must have a lot to say. I'm not cold in the car." Zhou You didn't know what to say.

If I knew it would take so long, I might as well go to another house to rest for a while. Anyway, they are all in the same community and there are many houses.

At this time, I realized the benefits of having more houses.

Otherwise, we would probably have to stay in a hotel by night.

Fortunately it's not rush hour.

Otherwise, we may not be able to arrive in time.

"Teacher Zhou, is there really a traffic jam in Beijing? It's better for us because there aren't that many cars." Xia Liu was also very emotional. Normally, there are traffic jams when they go to and from get off work, but there really aren't that many.

Zhou You said with a smile: "That's true, but the capital is the capital after all, and with the development of the economy, our side will become more and more congested, which is inevitable."

Arrive at the courtyard.

Zhou You introduced: "This is an authentic large courtyard with three entrances. It is used as a private restaurant. It has good privacy."

"Today we are dining in the back, and we have made reservations in advance. It is difficult to get a reservation without making reservations in advance."

Zhou You walked in front and introduced.

Battelle led the way and said nothing.

Xia Liu has been to the capital so many times, and this is really his first time to visit such a large-scale and relatively well-preserved courtyard house.

"This place is really nice. I don't know what kind of family could live here before."

"I don't know. It has changed a lot since then. Now they are either left behind by the previous family, repurchased on the market, or nationalized and then rented out or used as tourist attractions." Zhou You briefly explained.

I looked at Sun Li and found that she had no expression.

The two have been together for so long, and Xia Liu doesn't even know her situation. It must be because Sun Li didn't tell her.

The meaning of not saying it is to let yourself decide. If you want to say it, you can say it, or you can not say it. The decision-making power is left to you.

Others do things grandly, so you can't be stingy.

Before you become a lover, you still need to be somewhat honest.

He smiled at Xia Liu and said: "I am also looking for people. When I find a courtyard house that I am satisfied with, I will also create one to experience what it is like to live in a courtyard house in the capital."

Xia Liu stood there motionless.

I just talked casually and sighed, why do I travel around so much?

But the tone was still very casual, as if it was true.

He turned to look at his daughter.

Sun Li smiled and nodded: "Yes, I already have this idea, but I haven't found the right one yet."

Xia Liu shook her head quickly: "I'm just saying casually, this courtyard is so expensive and it's troublesome to take care of it."

How expensive is this thing? I don't know the price very well, but I know that this thing is more expensive than a villa, at least tens of millions.

Is this what my daughter said about money?

Have enough money to spend?

"Auntie, let's eat first and chat while we eat." Let's reveal a little bit first, whether it's to brag or whatever, we'll wait until we achieve it.

Li Houliang, four people, and Zhou You, three of them.

Sitting in a box, it still seemed very empty.

Xia Liu saw four strong men immersed in eating there without saying anything, and felt a little embarrassed. He looked at Zhou You and then at Sun Li. He had never experienced such a scene.

"Auntie, these four people are my colleagues and often go out with me. Today they are all family members and there are no outsiders, so we also sat together to meet. They have their own things to do after eating. Let’s chat while eating.” Zhou You explained simply.

When there are a lot of people, they eat separately. Anyway, they all have the same dishes, in the next room.

When there are few people, we eat together.

But they will eat faster.

This can also deepen feelings and become familiar with each other.

In ancient times, it could be regarded as promoting food and clothing.

A way to win people's hearts.

Xia Liu felt that she understood, but also felt that she did not understand.

Anyway, he is ignorant. (End of chapter)
