Suzuki Qianying's whole body was stiff. Listening to the "beep" voice in her mobile phone, her strength seemed to have been taken away and fell decadent into a chair.
It's over. Everything's over. What's she fighting for?
If he annoys helianbi again, he may not allow her to visit Xiaobao again. He will deprive her of her only right to be a mother
Since you can't fight, don't fight
Suzuki Qianying covers her face with her hands, and her mood can't calm down for a long time.
In the twinkling of an eye, it's May.
He Lianbi and Li Duobao have been in formal contact for two months. Although they get together less and leave more, their feelings have not weakened, but become deeper and deeper.
May 13 was Li Duobao's birthday. She had no flight mission and was just able to stay at home for her birthday. Early in the morning, he Lianbi called to send blessings. She smiled foolishly, "do you have a gift?"
"Of course, you can receive my gift by air at more than nine o'clock tonight." Helianbi walked smartly in the airport hall with a suitcase in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.
"Well, I'm looking forward to it," said Li Duobao, holding his mobile phone and rolling happily around in bed like a dog. "It's more than eight o'clock in the evening in New York. Have you gone home? Have you had dinner? "
"Well, I've gone home. I've boiled the dumplings you wrapped me in a pot. I'll have dinner soon."
Li Duobao stopped rolling, grabbed his messy hair and muttered discontentedly, "how can I eat so late and starve my body?"
"It doesn't matter. I ate snacks in the afternoon. I'm not hungry yet." He Lianbi printed his boarding pass, smiled and asked, "birthday, what are your plans today?"
"Go home, my mother and stepfather have already bought vegetables, waiting for me to go back."
He Lianbi stepped in and was full of hostility to Li Duobao's stepfather. Even when he spoke, this hostility inadvertently revealed, "protect yourself and don't get along with your stepfather alone."
"I know. Don't worry about me. Go and have a look at the dumplings. Don't cook them." Li Duobao is also thinking about his dumplings.
He Lianbi smiled softly, "well, I'll hang up first and call you in the evening."
"OK." Li Duobao smiled sweetly.
After cutting off the phone, she still smiled foolishly with her mobile phone.
The cell phone suddenly rang again. She picked it up quickly.
"Duobao, are you up?" It's a good voice.
"En en, get up, youyou. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I miss you so much."
Ren youyou said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Duobao. I'm participating in the Taekwondo competition in DIDU now. I can't go back today. When I go back, I'll make it up to you."
Li Duobao jumped up excitedly, "competition? Why don't you tell me? I can go to DIDU to cheer you on! "
"I knew you would. That's why I kept it from you. It's not easy for you to celebrate your birthday with your parents. You must have a good time! Don't worry about me. I'm confident that I can defeat the invincible hand in the world! "
Li Duobao was amused by her. "Youyou is the best. You will win the championship. When you return in triumph, I will wash the dust for you!"
"Oh, little silly girl has grown up and used two idioms in one sentence..."
"Don't look down on people. I was a talented woman in the Chinese department!"
Ren youyou smiled brightly and asked, "where's your helianbi? Did you fly back from the United States? "
"No, he's busy at work, but he airlifted gifts to me." Although Li Duobao had a little regret, she didn't blame helianbi at all. She knew he was working hard for their future.
"Well, this guy is pretty good. You live a good life. I support you." Ren youyou didn't think highly of helianbi at the beginning, but she also saw his kindness to Duobao in the past two months. It seemed that he really turned back, so she gradually changed her attitude towards him.
"Youyou is the best. Youyou, you have to refuel. I'm waiting for you to return in triumph!"
"Ann, there must be no problem. Duobao, I'm going to prepare. I'll call you after the game. "
Li Duobao is so happy that his best friend finally recognizes helianbi! She hummed happily and ran happily into the bathroom to wash.
Li Duobao's mother's name is Wang Xia and his stepfather's name is Zhao Deye. They have a son and are studying abroad. The husband and wife run a small shop together and have a good life.
Zhao Deye seems honest and kind to Wang Xia and Li Duobao's mother and daughter, but he likes drinking. Li Duobao is most afraid of him drinking. Every time he gets drunk, he will say some strange words, make some strange actions, and abuse Wang Xia. After he wakes up, he cries and apologizes to Wang Xia. Wang Xia often forgives him for the sake of the children.
Li Duobao walked into the house with a faint uneasiness, but she didn't expect that it would be a nightmare to meet her.
"Duobao, you're back," said stepfather Zhao Deye, who opened the door for her. His face was full of smiles and warmly received the gift she was carrying. "Just go home. What are you doing with so many things? Come on, come in. "
Li Duobao called "Dad" sweetly, changed his slippers, looked around and asked, "Dad, where's my mother?"
"Your mother just went downstairs to buy soy sauce. Come on, come and sit down." Zhao Deye took her shoulder and walked to the sofa.
Li Duobao followed him to the sofa and sat down. He smiled and said, "you sit first. I'll wash the fruit. Your mother bought a lot of things you like to eat."
Li Duobao didn't want to keep him busy, so he quickly stood up and said, "Dad, please rest. I'll just wash it."
Zhao Deye smiled kindly, "Duobao, you are usually outside. After working hard, when you get home, have a good rest, be obedient, sit down and watch TV, and I will be back soon."
"Well, Dad, please."
"Silly boy, be polite to me."
Zhao Deye smiled brightly twice, went into the kitchen, took out the fruit from the fridge, washed it, took it to the living room, filled the fruit plate with walnuts, pistachios and other small snacks, put them all in front of her and warmly greeted her, "Duobao, eat quickly."
"Well, OK, Dad, you too." Duobao took an orange, peeled it and handed it to him, "Dad, eat an orange."
"OK, OK." Zhao Deye narrowed his eyebrows with a smile.
The father and daughter sat on the sofa, eating fruit and chatting. After more than ten minutes, the sound of unlocking came from the door. Wang Xia leaned in with a convenience bag in her hand. Li Duobao put down her things and ran to her quickly. She acted like a child in her arms, "Mom, I'm back."
Wang Xiamei smiled and stroked her hair. "Silly girl, still like a child," she stared at Duobao's face for a long time, "Yo, how thin is it? My face is small! Haven't you had a good meal recently? "
Li Duobao rubbed his steamed stuffed bun face and said in a long voice, "Mom, my face has always been so round. Where is it thin? If I'm really thin, it's too late for me to be happy. "
Wang Xia patted on her forehead. "Girls are round and lovely. They are blessed. Don't learn from them to lose weight. It's like an awl face."
Li Duobao stuck out his tongue. "I know. I didn't lose weight. Mom, don't stand at the door. We'll sit and talk in the living room."
Li Duobao sat next to Wang Xia, holding her arm affectionately. The three members of the family chatted happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Wang Xia often talks about her daughter's life and sighed, "baby, you're not young. When you bring back a boyfriend for your parents, we'll be satisfied."
Li Duobao looked at his mother's eager eyes. She almost couldn't help telling them about her love affair, but she held back. If her parents asked about helianbi's personal situation, they were likely to object to them being together. It's better to tell them about it after helianbi settled in China.
Li Duobao shook Wang Xia's arm. "Mom, don't worry. I'm still young and can't get married."
Zhao Deye said with a smile, "yes, ah Xia, bao'er is still young. Don't always urge her. Now young people pay attention to success in their career before they get married."
Wang Xia poked Li Duobao's forehead with her finger, "I can't say that you two, your father and daughter unite to deal with me."
"Mom is the best. Don't worry, mom. I will live up to your expectations!" After two months together, Li Duobao became more and more confident in helianbi. She believed that their feelings would blossom and bear fruit.
"That's good. Don't let mom wait too long." Wang Xia caressed the back of her hand with relief.
At dinner, Zhao Deye took out a bottle of beer as usual and said happily, "today is Duobao's birthday. It's a good day. Our family of three will have some wine to celebrate."
"Lao Zhao, drink less." Wang Xia looked embarrassed.
"I know. It's not. I haven't drunk for more than half a month. Drink one or two to satisfy my craving." Zhao Deye opened the beer with a smile and poured three glasses full of wine. One glass of wine was put in front of him, and the other two were handed to Wang Xia and Li Duobao's mother and daughter.
Zhao Deye picked up his glass and said, "come on, let's have a toast first. I wish dobao a happy birthday and a happy heart."
"Thank you, Dad."
Neither Li Duobao nor Wang Xia can drink. At most, they get drunk after drinking a glass of beer. They just take two sips.
But Zhao Deye was different. He looked up, drank up a glass of beer boldly, and soon poured himself a full glass.
"Lao Zhao, don't patronize drinking and order more dishes, otherwise it's bad for your stomach." Wang Xia took a chopstick and put it in his bowl.
"Eat, you all eat, leave me alone." Zhao Deye greeted them with a smile, ate two chopsticks and drank up another glass of wine in the twinkling of an eye.
"Dad, drink less wine. Drinking too much is bad for your health."
Li Duobao was a little uneasy when he looked at his drinking. He secretly glanced at Wang Xia. Wang Xia's face was also a little bad. He smiled stiffly. "Lao Zhao, bao'er is right. You drink less wine and it will hurt your body if you drink too much."
Zhao Deye was not drunk yet. He shook his glass and said, "it's all right. This wine is nothing. I'm happy today. Let me have two more drinks."
He said so. Wang Xia couldn't lose face in front of her daughter, so she had to let him, but when he finished drinking two bottles of wine, she couldn't help it. "Lao Zhao, you're drunk, don't drink."
Zhao Deye was really drunk at the moment. He narrowed his eyes full of vicissitudes and shouted discontentedly, "shut up, men drink, women don't mix in. I've never seen you so mother!"
