Chapter 3 third chapter

Shao Shao finally returned home. Dr. Deng has already got up, tidied up the place, made fragrant black tea, and is watering the roses on the terrace. Shao Shao saw it in her eyes and felt lucky. She found a good partner. What does this have to do with her own conditions? Many women who are more beautiful, better-born, and better-educated than her have not met the right man. Deng Zhi can understand the joy of life, this is the most important thing. When he saw his wife came back, he poured her a cup of tea. "After this vacation, the two of us will get together less and leave more." Shao Shao said with a smile.

Xiao Deng must have an appropriate answer: "Hey, let's talk after the release, one day's worries are enough for one day." Shao Shao loves his optimistic attitude the most. Only then did she see the message on the phone, "Why, Aunt Su called early in the morning?" "yes." "Say something, you didn't offend her, did you?" "Hey, I'm not a freshman." Shao Shao became nervous, "What's the matter with her?" "Invite you to dinner and ask me to go too." "Is it at her house?" "No, it's in an expensive western restaurant outside."

"Oh, I'll call back right away." Shao Shao was very happy and dialed the phone, "Is Ms. Su at home?" There was silence for a while, Shao Shao asked again. A man replied: "She went out, who are you?" "I'm her friend Ou Shaoshao." The man was shocked, "The sound is so similar!" Shao Shao didn't know who he was, let alone who her voice sounded like, so he could only laugh along with him. After a while, the other party said: "Shunjuan is back, I will ask her to contact you." "Excuse me." Shao Shao turned her head, "That one may be Aunt Su's husband."

She suddenly understood. Like, of course, like her mother, they all felt that Yao Xiangru and her daughter were the same. Shao Shao asked, "Am I like my mother?" Xiao Deng replied: "Actually, it is not very similar, but in the eyes of outsiders, the three-point image is already very similar." "And," Shaoshao said with a smile, "they might miss their mother very much." Xiao Deng raised his head, "Well, what's the name of Su Shunjuan's husband?" "Hey, I don't know, she never said, I never asked." "What do you think?"

"Xi, Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhang San Wang Wu, how do you guess?" Deng Zhineng looked at his wife intently, "I guess, that name might surprise you." Shaoshao chuckled, "Why don't you think about what clothes to wear to eat that western meal." Xiao Deng replied: "Cheongsam." Shao Shao suddenly thought of his mother's old velvet coat. Anyway, when she was free, she took it to a girlfriend who owned a boutique to borrow a steam iron. My girlfriend came out and took a look, "Wow, beautiful." Strange to say, when the steam was sprayed, the velvet hairs puffed up and stood up again, restoring 70 to 80% of their old appearance.

"Put it on." Perfect fit. "The cuffs are narrower, your arms are thicker than the coat's owner." "Yes," said Shaoshao, "our generation has a horse on its arm." The girlfriend continued in a very tasteless manner: "It doesn't matter, no one is grateful to us even if it is odd." "What about parents, parents are always different, right?" My girlfriend sat down and lit a cigarette, "My mother despises my sister-in-law's ignorance, lack of work, and low income, but she also thinks that I am not up to date, that I don't know how to find a life on a man, and that I lose face."

Oh, such a difficult old lady. "When the family is established, men and women are equal. When the family is divided, I am a daughter." She hung the coat on the hanger for Shaoshao, "carry it home." Shao Shao thanked him and said goodbye. Photos are also done. There are four people, and the clothes of the two heroines are pink and light blue. Suddenly, Shaoshao saw clearly, "Xiao Deng, the coat that Mom is wearing is mine." "Huh, I figured that out a long time ago." "Why don't you say it?" "What's the point of such an obvious thing?"

"I just didn't see it." "Could it be that you have a wider field of vision?" "What's the meaning?" "Hyperopia, presbyopia." No, Shaoshao is just careless, when she was a teenager she thought it was a shortcoming, but now she thinks it is good, she can't see it, don't bother her, she is careless and careless, she is blessed. Shao Shao simply bought a photo frame, and took the photos together as a gift, which was a gift in return. On the night of the meeting, even Xiao Deng tied his tie in a proper manner. Shao Shao had to wear an evening gown, the so-called "little black dress" with thin suspenders and a half-cut cut.

Dressed up, Xiao Deng took a look at his wife and couldn't help but praised in Cantonese: "It's really a good fight." Shao Shao glared at him, "You just went to conquer the world, and I will enjoy my life at home." She took an old velvet evening dress and put it on, and it was perfect. The host arrived early and sat at a table with a view of the sea. There were three female guests at the table, and they waved gently to them. Lian Shaoshao is one of the four ladies. Today, the stars accompany the moon, and Xiao Deng is very popular. Ms. Su Shunjuan introduced them: "My two daughters, this is Qifang, and that is Yanhe."

Shao Shao said hello and shook hands before sitting down. Qifang and Yanhe are both fair-skinned and tall. Among them, Yanhe has a rounder face, more like her mother, but Qifang is beautiful. She has a style that makes her look like a female star. The three of them were about the same age, and they became acquainted immediately with white wine and dialogue by candlelight. Xiao Deng quietly watched them from the side. Ms. Su said to the young man, "Why don't you talk tonight?" Xiao Deng smiled, "Since I got married, the words I often use have to be with each other."

"Then you deserve to be a good husband." "Thank you, Auntie. Don't look at Shaoshao's high-spirited appearance. In fact, she is strong on the outside, but very lonely. Maybe she will have to be an elderly mother at some point. She has to suffer. It is right to let her a little bit, so she blindly fools around, yes yes yes , well, well, well, I will not argue with her no matter what." Ms. Su was very moved, "Good boy, I'm relieved." "Aunt Su, why is there a host missing tonight?" "You mean my husband? He has something to do, so don't call him." "Oh, that's it." At this time, he heard Shao Shaoqian say: "Oh, I don't know anything about dressing up." But the two girls hurriedly said, "I just want to be neat and tidy, and I'm also very busy with work, so I don't have the qualifications to pay attention to that." Xiao Deng was relieved. Those two ladies are definitely not superficial people who like to take advantage of their lips. Qifang then said: "If you don't mind, you can sit at my house some other day." "Do you live with your parents?" Qi Fang smiled, "I'm married, to be precise, and divorced." Shao Shao said: "Divorce is the most common sad thing in modern times." "Yes," Qifang replied, "It's so common, but still so helpless." Shao Shao said, "It will pass." At this time Yanhe said: "I also persuade my sister in the same way." Shaoshao suddenly felt emotional, "You are so kind, sisters, you have a lot to discuss." The sisters smiled and said nothing. Then Ms. Su said, "You haven't seen them quarreling." While eating dessert, Shaoshao took out the photo frame and gave it to Ms. Su. Ms. Su took it, "We will keep in touch from now on." "must." "You have no idea how much you are like your mother." "Is it because of the antique coat?" "I made this coat with her." "Velvet was called velvet back then, wasn't it?" Aunt Su let out a long sigh. "Aunt Su, you really miss the past." She was about to say something when the waiter handed over the bill. The dinner ended like this. In the car, Shaoshao tirelessly talked about everyone's behavior and makeup like a little girl. Xiao Deng was silent. "Hey, what do you think of watching from the sidelines all night?" "Me? I think the three mothers and daughters have their own worries." "Really?" Shaoshao was stunned, "Why can't I see it." "Calling you stupid is stupid." "I'm still stupid?" Shao Shao was not convinced. "Stupid to wait." "Duh! Prejudice." "The three mothers and daughters are a hundred times smarter than you." "Appreciate further details." "At this moment, you don't even know what people's last names are." Shao Shao suddenly remembered, "It's true, I forgot to ask." "Aunt Su deliberately avoided talking about it." "Don't worry, she's not like that." "It's no wonder that in the eyes of stupid people, everyone is a stupid person." Instead of being angry, Shaoshao smiled, "Smart man, what else do you see?" "Both ladies are unhappy." Shao Shao asked, "Why do you say that?" Xiao Deng grinned, "Their eyes seemed to be saying, how could Ou Shaoshao marry such a good husband-in-law? Envious and sullen." Unexpectedly, Shaoshao would also give her husband an unexpected joy: "This is true, a wishful gentleman, you can't find it." That night, in the middle of sleeping, Shao Shao woke up suddenly. This was the first time she heard her mother coughing after marriage. "Mom?" She gently lifted the quilt. The curtains of the living room were not closed, and she saw a bright moon. The old velvet coat that was removed was put on the back of the chair, Shao Shao went over and said, "Mom, do you have something to say to me?" There was a hand on her shoulder. Shao Shao turned her head in surprise and saw Deng Zhineng standing behind her. Without saying a word, the two held hands and sat on the sofa until dawn. In the silence, he heard a neighbor's newborn crying, and his mother coaxed him. At this moment, Shao Shao yawned and closed his eyes again. When he woke up, Xiao Deng had cooked chicken porridge and bought Shanghai fried dough sticks. There is nothing to say, Shaoshao feels that her newlywed life is happy, and she almost doesn't want to go back to the office. She asked Xiao Deng: "Are we able to live a life like this on savings?" Xiao Deng sneered, "You think, at the end of the month, your bedside money will be exhausted. These days, I have fed you fat and fat, but I just want you to continue to have the strength to fight to support your family after the holidays. Are you full and want to retire?" Shao Shao was immediately discouraged. Work is really the greatest thorn in human life. "Shao Shao, tell me, are you happy?" Ou Shaoshao said without hesitation, "Of course I am happy." "Isn't your mother's background embarrassing for you?" "Big mouth, the world is difficult to complete in ancient times, and there are cicadas in thousands of miles." Xiao Deng nodded, "Stupidity has its advantages." Shao Shao moved her face closer, "Isn't this great wisdom?" Xiao Deng got angry, "Ms. Su is as wise as a fool." "If I am like my mother, then my mother is not a smart person." "No, you're probably inherited from another generation. Auntie's silence for so many years is like gold, which is the highest performance after breaking through the world." "I don't even know what you're talking about. I'm going to work next week. I don't know how busy I am when the new governor comes to take office. It's you who sang and I came on stage, mistakenly thinking that another country is my hometown." "Can you ask for a tune? For example, it's much easier to go to the city council to promote singing tours." "It's really easy for you to see people shouldering burdens, but I like being a Beijing official." "Close to His Majesty, huh?" "Who is the emperor?" "QE2, don't you know?" Sure enough, as soon as the vacation was sold out, I was very busy, and I was still biting a hamburger at seven o'clock in the evening to answer reporters' inquiries. Some of the meat from the long vacation was returned to work. Shao Shao has always admired fat people, decades of skill, never stop, gaining fat every day, and people, there are always times when they can’t sleep, eat, or have a fever once or twice. From this, we can see how hard fat people work maintain their weight. One day, at the end of the busy day, I stood up, stretched my waist, felt greasy on my face, and just wanted to rush home to take a hot bath, when suddenly the phone rang. Shao Shao gave a hello and reported his name as usual. It was a female voice: "Not after get off work, how about going to eat Japanese food together, I'm downstairs." The voice is very moving, it doesn't look like Xiao Deng's, it can be called a flying beauty. But Shao Shao had to bite the bullet and ask, "Which one is it?" "Ah, I'm sorry," she smiled, "I'm Ou Qifang, remember?" Shaoshao Dale, "Qifang, is your surname Qu?" It turned out that Auntie Su's husband was named Qu. "You don't know?" The other party was stunned. "I'll be right down." "See you later." Shao Shao called Xiao Deng and reported his whereabouts. Xiao Deng warned: "That lady seems like someone who can drink a few cups, you still have to drive, don't fight with her." Xiao Deng had nothing to say about this sixth sense, so Shao Shao and Qi Fang met up, and as soon as they arrived at the restaurant, she asked the waiter to serve hot rice wine. She told Shaoshao, "I was passing by and tried to find you, but I didn't expect it to be like this." She put her chin on one hand with a smile, very delicate and carefree. The two Japanese sitting next to her were already amazed and turned their heads to look at her frequently. "But have something to discuss with me?" "No, since we met that day, I have missed you for some reason, so I found an excuse to come on a date." It happened that Shao Shao felt the same way, so he came down as soon as he called out, "Will we become speculative friends?" "Ha, why didn't you find me?" "Qifang, I'm the kind of small civil servant who does errands. I only have one hour for lunch. How can I make an appointment? The clock after get off work is uncertain, and it's inconvenient. It's the weekend, and I want to sleep late and do some private things, so the time is short." So reimbursed." "Sounds like a very fulfilling life." "What about you, what do you do?" "Didn't you hear Yanhe teasing me that day?" "Yes, look at my memory, you're a painter." "Painting is easy to become famous but hard to become famous." Shao Shao, let's have a toast first, forgetting Xiao Deng's instructions, "Do you have to be famous? Like you, the economy is not a problem, and you have such leisure hobbies. Painting in your spare time for self-entertainment, and to cultivate your temperament, I don't know how wonderful it is , what's the use of being famous?" Qi Fang didn't expect Shao Shao to be so calm, so she couldn't help laughing, "Then, how did you prove yourself?" "The four-character mantra doesn't make sense at all, I am me, what does it prove?" Qi Fang admired it very much, "Then, if you haven't been famous for a long time, what do people think of you?" "Hey, who is he and how famous is he?" Shao Shao laughed, "I don't care about him." Qi Fang also laughed, "Shao Shao, you are so chic, who taught you?" "I said earlier that as long as our little people finish the day's work, we are happy and have nothing else to do. My partner Deng Zhineng shares the same goals with me, and generally has nothing to do. Therefore, he lives a leisurely life." Qifang was in a daze, envious, "So, you live without any regrets?" Shao Shao was stunned, turned the wine glass, "My mother passed away too early, I failed to be filial to her." "She must be a lovely aunt." Shao Shao's eyes were red, "It's nothing to worry about." The two were talking speculatively, when Deng Zhineng appeared. Shao Shao said "Huh", "What are you doing here?" Xiao Deng smiled, "I'll pay the bill." Zhao Qifang nodded. Knowing that he came specially to pick Shao Shao up, Qi Fang smiled. Newlyweds should be like this, and what changes in the future is another matter. They sent Qifang home first, and the car made a full circle. Chatting on the way back: "Qi Fang is also surnamed Qu." Unexpectedly, Xiao Deng suddenly said, "What's your last name?" "Same surname as mine." "What a coincidence." "The district is the common surname of Cantonese people, and there are at least 100,000 surnames in this city." Xiao Deng gradually calmed down. "What else?" "She's a painter and wants to be famous." Xiao Deng smiled. Engaging in literary and artistic work is originally the best life in the world, but once you seek fame, it will become the most painful job, heaven and hell, just a single thought. "I felt like she was trying to prove something to her loved ones." "The three women in their family are unhappy." "What about you, Xiao Deng, you who must look for the tears behind the laughter, is it too much?" Xiao Deng was silent. "How's the operating room?" "Leaving the job, don't worry about it anymore." "I'm learning this good habit too." After returning home, the smell of alcohol rose, and I was too tired to keep my eyes open. There was a big basket of flowers on the table, the aroma was tangy, Shao Shao asked "what day, who sent the flowers", and she had already collapsed on the bed. Xiao Deng murmured: "Play the piano to the cow." There is a card on the bouquet, which clearly says: "Shao Shao, we have been married for three months", which is now redundant. Xiao Deng said angrily: "Flowers and cow dung." The next day Shaoshao silently apologized, Xiao Deng still felt resentful. "Crude embryo." "Who, me?" Xiao Deng didn't answer her. "Dazui, I haven't seen my mother in a dream recently." Deng Zhineng put down the newspaper, "Auntie is relieved of you." "Maybe." Shao Shao sighed. "And you, do you plan to be a mother?" Shao Shao sighed again, "A wife among my colleagues recently became a new mother. Every morning, she took a Polaroid photo of her son before going out. The photo was kept in her pocket and she looked at it all day long. You said it was miserable. She has to go to work, so she can't. stay home with the toddler." "what do you mean--" "If I have a child, I will hang out with him all day long, and I will never be in the rivers and lakes." "But a lot of women see it as drudgery." "A bear's paw, B's arsenic." "Okay, I promise you." Xiao Deng suddenly said generously. , "Promise what?" Shao Shao was puzzled. "Feed your mother and child." Shao Shao laughed loudly, "Joke, I have my own plan, so I don't need you to worry about it." Xiao Deng said anxiously, "Hey, this is my responsibility." He changed his tone. "Things change a lot in the world, and you have to plan for the worst. The family education I received since I was a child is that everything is best on my own." Thinking of my mother's life, I can't help but feel deeply moved. The mother could not rely on anyone before she was alive, only her daughter was dependent on her, all the men in her life had nothing to do with her, her father, brother, husband... were all far away from her, she had no uncle, and Shaoshao had never seen her at all. Grandpa. With deep roots, Shaoshao felt that she had to rely on herself. That afternoon, Qi Fang called Shao Shao, "I saw you on TV at noon." Shao Shao smiled, "That was recorded a while ago, but how to explain how to vote?" "No, it's a press conference, you stand behind the foreigners." "Oh yes, this is employee welfare, and the camera will occasionally look at us." Many colleagues who suffer from the front-head complex love to wear red clothes intentionally or unintentionally, hoping that someone will pay attention. "You seem quite satisfied with your job." "Dedicated and happy to work." Qi Fang smiled, "So far, you must be busy." "Ah, why don't you just say a few words, are you free on Zhou Wei, how about inviting Aunt Su and Yanhe out?" "Let's discuss it later." Shaoshao felt lucky throughout the day, because besides Xiao Deng, there were other people who cared about her. In the evening, she talked vigorously to Xiao Deng about Qifang: "I am a completely different person. She sleeps until noon and wakes up lazily, flipping through newspapers. She only eats a little in the evening. She eats like a sparrow and wears silk." Clothes, likes to wear jade, is an artist, I was afraid of such a person, but I am very congenial with her." Xiao Deng was silent. Shao Shao asked Xiao Deng: "You don't seem to like her very much." "A married man has no right to like or dislike other women." "Wow, it's magnificent." "Excuse me, excuse me." Deng Zhineng has something on his mind. He promised himself before marriage that he would never hide anything from his wife, but at this moment he was pregnant with a ghost. That morning, he met Ms. Su Shunjuan. It was Ms. Su who took the initiative to ask him out. They met in the waiting room of the hospital, which was an abrupt date, but Deng Zhineng couldn't leave. But Ms. Su didn't mind coming to his place of work. To be honest, the biggest advantage of the hospital is that it is quiet and clean. Deng Zhineng has always been polite and polite to his elders. Ms. Su sat down gently, and asked straight to the point: "Is Xiangru not in pain?" Deng Zhineng replied carefully: "After being ill for so long and undergoing surgery, you can't say that she is very comfortable." Ms. Su mourned for a long time. Deng Zhineng couldn't bear it any longer, "Why didn't you show up until today?" "We've searched all over for their mother and daughter, trust me." Deng Zhineng said: "Your intervention at this moment will affect her life." Su Shunjuan looked at Deng Zhineng, "You know everything?" Xiao Deng waved his hand, "No, I don't know anything, but I'm a little suspicious, and Shaoshao doesn't even have doubts." "Young man, what do you suspect?" "I suspect that your family is related to Shaoshao by blood." Su Shunjuan was so sad that she couldn't speak. "Is Shaoshao's surname Xu or Qu?" "Her surname should be Xu." Little Deng Song breathed a sigh of relief. It doesn't matter if you guessed wrong. "Then why did Shao Shao change his surname to Qu?" "Because Xiangru came to this city, she was married to a Mr. Qu, and they divorced after two years." Xiao Deng continued softly, "And this Mr. Ou is Ms. Su's husband, right?" Ms. Su nodded, "Shaoshao was very young at that time, so I don't remember him." "His name is Ou Yongliang." "yes." It was Deng Chi Neng's turn to be silent. He could not understand the psychological state of a young widow in the 1950s, so he could not criticize Yao Xiangru's hasty remarriage and hasty breakup as unnecessary. "The four of us were classmates." It was the four people in the photo. Deng Zhineng said gently: "Ms. Su, that happened many years ago, and besides, two of them have passed away. It is good for everyone to forget about the past." Su Shunjuan looked at him, "If I can forget it, I won't come here to bring up old things again." Deng Zhineng was engrossed, "I must protect Shaoshao, I am her husband, her only relative in the world." Su Shunjuan was extremely embarrassed. Xiao Deng let out a sigh of relief, "Let's start from the beginning, wouldn't it be better to start from the beginning?" "You don't have that much time." "I heard a screenwriter say that there is no story in the world that cannot be told in three sentences." Ms. Su got angry, "This is a true story, not a story." Deng Zhineng spread his hands. Ms. Su is indeed a master, she took a breath and said: "At that time, there were four young people, two men and two women, who were studying in the same university and had a very good relationship. Later, those two boys fell in love with Yao Xiangru at the same time. " There was a trace of helplessness and bitterness in Ms. Su's voice. Deng Zhineng raised his head suddenly, ah, it was indeed Ms. Su who said that it was a love story, and the love story has no age distinction, and it has always been soul-stirring, and he was attracted. Su Shunjuan smiled slightly, and her deep eyes seemed to return to the beautiful Mayday, "Xu Xuhao is the one who loves Xiangru. They got engaged without their parents' consent. The photo you saw was taken on the day of the engagement. At that time, Yao Xiangru's parents disagree." "why?" "Because Xu Xuhao's identity is ambiguous." "What identity?" "Young man, you don't know much about the history of your country." "Of course, we only read about the 1911 Revolution in history, and we answered the test questions in English." "Why don't you learn by yourself?" "I was admitted to the medical department, and I had to study hard for eighteen hours a day." Ms. Su sighed, "The intensive education is really successful." Deng Zhineng looked at her, "Xu Xuhao, is he a party member in a movement?" "Yes, he is quite blatant, not an underground party member." Deng Zhineng sighed. When Shao Shao was emotional, he always advised her: "Hey, please control yourself, we are not engaging in revolution." I didn't think that it might be a genetic factor. "It was a bloody revolution, and the fighting was fierce. Xu Xuhao, like many college students, disappeared overnight and never came back. We had to take Yao Xiangru south in a hurry, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." "Xu Xuhao is a dangerous person, why approach him?" "Xiang Ru ignores these." "how about you?" "I don't know anything about politics, but I've always liked Au Yongliang." "Isn't it very innocent to be implicated like this?" Ms. Su didn't answer that question, but looked into the distance. Deng Zhineng said in a low voice: "I guess you were all very, very young then." Ms. Su smiled bitterly, "Revolution and love must be very young." Deng Zhineng continued, "After the age of twenty-five, the most important thing is to improve life." Su Shunjuan said: "What I didn't expect was that Xiangru didn't tell her daughter about the past." "Tell me, three friends, how did you lose contact?" At this time, the hospital loudspeaker yelled, "Dr. Deng Zhineng, Dr. Deng Zhineng, look for the emergency room." Xiao Deng immediately stood up and responded. Ms. Su immediately said, "Don't reveal the truth to Shaoshao until I hear the whole story." "yes." Deng Zhineng hurriedly turned his head and walked downstairs. Now that his mind has calmed down, he hesitates, should he confess this meeting process to Shaoshao first? He felt a pressure. It's a pity that he doesn't have time to listen to the whole story, but with his intelligence, he may be able to spell out a picture with the information he has. He came out of his contemplation, "Shaoshao, I have something to say to you." Turning his head, he found that Shao Shao was already fast asleep. Little Deng couldn't help but laugh. He said softly: "Auntie, you can rest assured, Shaoshao is not like you at all, Shaoshao is like a pig by nature, smart, loves to play, and never cares about the Ming Dynasty." He turned off the light for her. This is of course because he loves her. If you love someone, that person will always be small and stupid and needs to be taken care of, but if you don't like him, he will immediately become wily, a fairy, and you must be careful. Of course Shaoshao is not as bad as her husband described, but in Deng Zhineng's eyes, she will not grow up. It was Deng Zhineng's turn to have that dream. He was filling out tax forms in his study when he suddenly heard coughing. He looked up, "Auntie?" He didn't change his name to mother-in-law. At that time, he and Shao Shao were not yet married. He stood up and walked out of the study, "Auntie, is that you? If you have something to say, you can tell me." He heard a soft sigh. He was sure that it was his aunt, and he couldn't help feeling sad, "Auntie, you see that Shaoshao is living a good life, what are you worried about?" At this time, someone pushed him, he woke up startled, and found that he fell asleep on the desk at some point, and it was Shao Shao who pushed him. Xiao Deng smiled wearily, "Dear wife, do you have a three-covered gown?" Shaoshao said with concern, "Are you having nightmares? Hehehe." "I dreamed of my aunt." "how is she?" "I didn't actually see her, I just heard her sigh." The couple held hands for a long time. The next day, Deng Zhineng took the initiative to talk to Ms. Su Shunjuan and made an appointment to meet in a park near the hospital. Deng Zhineng's face was not without some worry, "Last time we said that the three of you lost contact." There was an ice cream vendor pushing a tricycle. Xiao Deng couldn't bear it, and bought two tubes of vanilla ice cream, one for Ms. Su. Ms. Su said: "Frankly speaking, since seeing Yao Xiangru's obituary, my fellow district Yongliang has been suffering from insomnia." Xiao Deng smiled. He still loves her. Sure enough, Ms. Su said: "He has always loved her." "Then why the divorce?" "She married him on the one hand to repay his gratitude, and on the other hand, she wanted to start over from scratch, but afterwards she found that she couldn't forget the past at all, so she resolutely left him." She was right in the end. At that time, there was a price to be paid for not wanting to be wrong. Not only was I lonely, but I was also criticized by others. Deng Zhineng made a suggestion at this time, "Why don't I call Shao Shao out and listen to this story." "No, there is another key here, Shaoshao may not be able to accept this fact from strangers." "what is that?" "Yao Xiangru still has a child." Ms. Su raised her head. Deng Zhineng opened his mouth wide. Heh, he had a flash of inspiration, it must be Ou Qifang. Shao Shao and her hit it off right away, and they had an unusually good impression because of their blood relationship. "Ah," Deng Zhineng rejoiced, "Shao Shao has a younger sister, Shao Shao is no longer alone, I will tell her the news as soon as possible." Ms. Su was silent. "What's the problem?" "Qifang and I have always been at odds. She is not easy to get along with. She is not like Shaoshao at all, but her father loves her very much." "They're not kids anymore." "Exactly." From Su Shunjuan's tone, Xiao Deng could hear the bitterness of being second in life. For so many years, she has not been promoted. In her husband's mind, Su Shunjuan's status will never be inferior to that of Yao Xiangru. She was a hundred times more loyal and worked harder than her, but in his heart, she was not as good as her. Mr. Ou must also respect his wife very much, but that is just a kind of gratitude. He may obey and respect his wife, but he does not love her. Deng Zhineng didn't know how fortunate he was number one in Shao Shao's heart, and Shao Shao was also number one in his heart. Fortunately, in the complex emotional life of modern people, there is simply no one in a million. "Can Shaoshao accept this fact?" "She is an adult, and she has learned that her surname is not Qu." Ms. Su stared at Deng Zhineng, "In your mind, Shaoshao is perfect, right?" "Her?" Xiao Deng almost didn't jump up, "I didn't follow my wife blindly, she has so many shortcomings—" "But her flaws are also cute, right?" That's true. Reckless, impatient, all are rare true temperament. Ms. Su sighed, "I hope my daughter can also find such an ideal partner." Xiao Deng felt embarrassed, "Tell me too well." The ice cream in Ms. Su's hand began to melt, and Xiao Deng took the ice cream and ate it up in two or three bites. "Qi Fang still doesn't know that she is not my own." Xiao Deng was very surprised, "Hey, you should have told her a long time ago that this kind of thing can't be hidden for a lifetime, and there is no need to hide it." "Mr. Ou won't let me say that when he won Qifang to raise him, he decided not to let her know." Ridiculous, "it would have been more embarrassing to say it until today." Ms. Su was silent. "How is Qifang's relationship with Yanhe?" "Qi Fang was sent to boarding school in Cornwall since childhood." Xiao Deng sighed, "Is she a problem child?" "Only her own mother would have dared to say that." Xiao Deng looked at her, maybe the problem was that she never reprimanded this daughter. However, he is a junior, he only dared to slander, he did not dare to speak out in person. He finally said: "I will choose the right time to tell Shao Shao about it as tactfully as possible." Ms. Su stood up, "Thank you." She looked very tired, telling the story with all her strength. "I see you off." Ms. Su said: "There is a car waiting for me at the gate of the park." Deng Zhineng asked suddenly: "Did Mr. Ou signal you to meet me this time?" "No, I'm not someone who has no ideas. This is my own idea, and it's meaningless to keep it a secret." "I thank you on behalf of Shao Shao." "Don't be happy yet, maybe Shao Shao will blame me." Before this incident, Deng Zhineng thought that he was witty, deep, and well-trained. But he was disappointed in himself, he couldn't hold his breath. In the evening of that day, Shao Shao drove up to pick him up. She said with emotion: "See, the cable car station. On a Saturday afternoon when I was eleven or twelve years old, my mother took me to the top of the mountain by cable car and bought me hot dogs in the old coffee shop, but unfortunately I drank a few sips of coffee. , I always felt tightness in my chest, that was the only outing activity in my childhood, I vividly remember it." Little Deng listened quietly. He had already prepared himself mentally and trained his ears well. He knew that in the next few decades, such accidents would be worth listening to. Shao Shao leaned on the steering wheel of the car, "What happened, it seems like it was yesterday, if not, it was last week, but twenty years have passed." "Shh, don't reveal your real age." "I never hide my age." "That's because you're young." "No, that's because my grades are equal to my age, and also, I don't want to do things younger than me." "Come on, let's go have a drink." Shao Shao looked at him suspiciously, "You did something wrong and you were so kind to me?" Deng Zhi Neng brought his wife to a fashionable club, Shao Shao was very happy, admiring the decoration, someone waved to them. Shao Shao saw that the person was Ou Yanhe. "Hey," Shaoshao said without any intention, "Auntie Su's daughter." Yan He waved at them. Shao Shao said, "Let's go there." Xiao Deng muttered, "Wherever you go, you have to sit on a table." Shao Shao pushed him. Yanhe was very enthusiastic, "Let me introduce, my fiancé Bu Zhijian, Dr. Deng, Dr. Deng's wife." Shaoshao was overwhelmed by flattery. Over the years, she had never been in the light of Xiao Deng, nor did she feel that she had been promoted to be a doctor's wife. When Ou Yanhe said this, her face suddenly brightened. At this moment, she has also seen clearly Yanhe's partner, Bu Zhijian. Heh, it turned out to be this person, no wonder he looks familiar. I don't know which family he is from. After a while, the photo will appear in the coloring pages of some magazines that are not eye-catching. The gentleman had a haughty face at first, but after hearing that his female companion said he was a doctor, his face turned pale and he said hello. Deng Zhineng and Shao Shao immediately returned to their table. Shao Shao whispered: "I didn't expect that the word doctor can relieve cough." "The vanity epidemic is spreading here, and there must be some self-defense skills." "The place is a good place, but the people are boring." Xiao Deng was silent, no wonder Ms. Su was worried about her daughter's partner. "Yanhe seems very happy." "Just be happy." "Will it be long?" "Oh, ma'am, there is nothing in the world that is dry and rotten. Even if there is, it will suffocate you. Just be happy tonight." That's right. "Shao Shao, I have something to tell you." Shao Shao was startled, "Deng Dazui, I am most afraid of your solemn tone of doing things for the country and the people, how do you want to teach me?" "Don't worry too much, I just want to—" "The tax bureau is chasing you? One person does things and the other is in charge. We have been filing taxes separately. I don't know anything about you. Don't implicate me. I have a bright future in the Information Bureau." Little Deng couldn't help but laugh. At this time, Ou Yan and her male companion left, and Zhao Shaoshao gave him a wink before leaving, and a look of complacency appeared on his young face.
