Xiu Er saw Fu Huiya get up from the kitchen, and immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, and came over to support Fu Huiya: "Madam, you've only eaten a few bites, and you're not going to eat anymore?"

Fu Huiya allowed Xiu Er to support him, with one hand holding her walking stick, "Mn, help me up the stairs. I want to rest early. "

Lu Qingli and Lu Qinghuan looked at each other, but did not speak. At least Fu Huiya did not reject him. The two of them had not met for so many years, they might need some time to accept.

The next day, when Qingli went downstairs, he found that Fu Huiya had already been busy working in the kitchen, and did not know how long she had been awake.

Lu Qingli glanced at the clock in the living room and confirmed that it was only 7 o'clock.

She rubbed her eyes and stretched lazily before asking, "Mom, why are you up so early?"

From time to time, Fu Huiya would support herself with the flow table, move her body a little, take what she needed, and answer: "You're awake? She slept early yesterday and woke up early today. "Today is New Year's Eve, and we have dinner tonight. I will prepare first."

"Oh," Lu Qingli nodded his head, went into the kitchen and rolled up her sleeves, "Let me help you."

"No need. Aren't you going out this morning?" Fu Huiya was busy cutting the ingredients in her hands.

Lu Qingli shook her head, "If there's nothing else, I won't be going out. "Oh yeah, Mom, I'll add another set of tableware for tonight."

Fu Huiya looked at Lu Qingli, and lightly smiled. "Wenshu wants to come?"

Lu Qingli pulled the celery in her hand and nodded with a faint smile.

Fu Huiya was ecstatic, "Alright!"

Fu Huiya unconsciously raised his arm and rubbed it on her face, the corners of her eyes shining brightly.

She looked at her shy and happy daughters. He felt happy and sad at the same time.

Seeing her two young daughters finally getting her happiness, even if she were to die the next moment, she would have no regrets in her life.

Fu Huiya pressed the back of her hand to her chest and slightly bent down, a trace of pain flowing out from her brows.

Lu Qingli immediately threw down the food in her hands and came over to help Fu Huiya up, "Mom, what's wrong? Is it a pain in the heart? Let's go to the hospital and take a look! "

Fu Huiya forced herself to laugh, "It's nothing, I might have stood for too long, my feet are hurting. Help me across the living room to sit down. "

Lu Qingli said with a pained heart: "Go rest, watch TV, read some books, don't work so hard anymore. Qinghuan and I are still here! Xiu Er was also very capable. This dinner will definitely be a feast for your eyes and will definitely be filled with both beauty and fragrance! "

Fu Huiya laughed, patted Lu Qingli's hands and said: "Alright! "You guys do it."

Even so, at night, Fu Huiya still insisted on cooking a few dishes in the kitchen: braised pig feet, Eight Treasures Glutinous Rice, scallion braised tofu, and spicy squid.

Fu Huiya took off her apron, turned her head and looked at the time, she estimated that someone should be here. I'll go upstairs and look for something. Wenshu is here, call me. "

Lu Qingli was extremely busy, and did not care about it too much, but she agreed and got Xiu Er to help him up the stairs.

When the doorbell rang, Lu Qingli wiped her hands and ran towards the entrance. Lu Qinghuan teased: "Sis, you've been waiting for the doorbell to ring, right?"

Lu Qingli laughed, and decided not to bother with her.

"You're here?" Lu Qingli took the gift pack from Mu Wenshu's hands, "Do you want to take the rest first, I'll put these in."

The kitchen was facing the Profound Entrance, so Lu Qinghuan had been paying attention to Lu Qingli and Mu Wenshu. Seeing Mu Wenshu taking so many things, she thought to herself, for a new girl to come knocking on her door with boots, it wouldn't be weird for him to be so courteous! Qinghuan immediately bumped into Jian Yang who was beside him, "Hubby, help my Sis grab something. I saw that Mu Wenshu didn't come in, I think there's still more in the car! "

Jian Yang washed his hands under the taps and nodded, then went over to help.

Mu Wenshu had just finished moving everything and was about to close the door, when a car stopped in front of the villa.

Mu Wenshu called Lu Qingli who was helping him change his slippers, "Qingli, someone is coming."

Lu Qingli peeked through the crack in the door and quickly straightened up, "My dad is here."

Lu Qingli subconsciously looked at Mu Wenshu, and seeing that his expression did not change, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Lu Qingli dragged Mu Wenshu out the door and walked to the front of the car. Mu Wenshu was standing behind Lu Qingli as he watched the Old Zhang, the driver, open the back door.

Lu Qingli hurriedly stepped forward to support Lu Jinghao, and said in a low voice, "Father, our family is having a New Year's Eve meal, why are you wearing this formal attire?"

Lu Jinghao stretched the hem of his suit but did not say anything. After all, they had not met each other for so many years, it was the first time Lu Jinghao got troubled over what kind of clothes he should be wearing when he came over.

Lu Jinghao said forcefully, "Clothes not suitable? "Then I'll be going back!"

Lu Qingli immediately grabbed onto his arm, and laughed: "You really are giving me face. Since they were already here, was there any reason for them to not enter the door? "Right, where are my sister and Zi Yang?"

Lu Jinghao then let out a sigh of relief, and the corners of his eyes revealed a faint smile, "Your sister took Zi Yang on a trip. He said that he wanted to take his children for a different year and experience the flavor of another country's year. "

After all, Fu Huiya was not Qingge's mother so her not wanting to come here was within Lu Qingli's expectations.

Mu Wenshu bowed slightly and greeted, "Mayor Lu."

Lu Jinghao slanted his eyes at him, and said in a bland voice, "Today's New Year, I am only a father."

Lu Qingli immediately looked at Mu Wenshu and smiled: "Uncle Lu."

Lu Jinghao nodded his head slightly, which was considered a form of greeting, and then brought Lu Qingli to the front to enter the house.

Jian Yang came over and smiled: "Dad, long time no see. I've got the board ready. How many games are we going to play? "

Lu Jinghao beamed as he replied. "Alright! "Good, good, good!"

Lu Qingli immediately said: "Wenshu's chess is also pretty good, I'll have him accompany you to play a few rounds."

Lu Jinghao nodded, he glanced at the furnishings in the villa and leaned towards Lu Qingli's ear and whispered, "Where's Qinghuan?"

Lu Qingli looked around the room and ridiculed: "You must be looking for my mother. She was upstairs, taking something, she said, but she didn't come down now. I'll go take a look. "

Lu Qingli gently pushed Mu Wenshu forward, "You guys play chess first, dinner will begin at 9 o'clock!"

When Lu Qingli pushed opened the door to Fu Huiya's room, she saw Lu Qinghuan sitting right beside the bed.

Lu Qingli secretly complained. She couldn't have gone back on her word and planned to lie here to celebrate the new year.

Lu Qingli slowly walked over, sat on the other side of the bed, and gently grabbed onto Fu Huiya's hand: "Mom, are you uncomfortable?"

Fu Huiya replied softly, "No, I'm just a little tired. You go down with Qinghuan, isn't it Wenshu? "

Qingli glanced at Lu Qinghuan and shrugged helplessly.

"En, Wenshu is here, my dad is following behind him. My dad is so funny, we had a family dinner together, and in the new year, he came in wearing a suit, and he was so formal, it was like he was going to an appointment for a dinner party. "

Qinghuan's eyes were wide open as she said jubilantly: "Really? Dad is too funny. No, I have to go and take a look. It's rare to see him make such a mistake! "

Qinghuan ran out at a fast trot. Fu Huiya hurriedly warned: "Slow down, be careful of the stairs!"

Qingli walked over, closed the door, and sat down beside Fu Huiya. After thinking for a moment, Lu Qingli slowly opened her mouth and said: "Mom, actually, yesterday, I wanted to go and advise Mu Wenshu not to come today. Do you know why I changed my mind?"

Fu Huiya looked at her fixedly. She had a knot in her heart, so she knew that she shouldn't be hiding upstairs, but she didn't know how she should meet Lu Jinghao.

"Let me tell you a story. "Mom!" Lu Qingli took off her slippers, crawled into Fu Huiya's blanket, and hugged the blanket to look at Fu Huiya face to face.

"Shadows are so annoying!" The two kittens couldn't shake off their own shadows, so they swore to get rid of it.

However, no matter where they went, the two kittens found that whenever there was sunlight, they would see shadows of themselves that made them go crazy.

However, the two kittens eventually found their own solutions. The first method was to close one's eyes forever, while the other method was to stay forever in the shadows.

"Mom, we are those two kittens." Lu Qingli pointed to herself, then pointed at Fu Huiya, "You were hiding in the shadows, but I chose to close my eyes."

"Because there were painful memories, we didn't want to face this negative event. However, once it has happened, such negative events are destined to accompany us throughout our lives. The most we can do is to suppress them into our subconscious state. This is called forgetting. But they still work in their subconscious, as they always do. And, no matter how much we forget the facts, the pain that accompanies them will still strike us, making us inexplicably sad and uncontrollable. "

"You should know more about these principles than I do. But it's precisely because you see it too deeply, too thoroughly, but not completely.

There was no one in this world who could escape from the world of mortals. Even if they died, they would turn into dust from the mundane world. Those so-called people who jump out of the world of mortals merely stand at the edge of the world of mortals and watch the people deeply rooted within them struggle in all kinds of ways. They feel that they are more free and at ease than them, and think that they have jumped out of the world of mortals.

"Even if they are monks, when they say that worldly affairs are impossible, they change their fates to the world. Isn't the scented oil, the offerings from the mortal world?"

"Nothing can be solved by escaping. Pain makes us try harder to escape. At the end of the day, the usual solution is to be like these two kittens, either we completely distort our experience and turn a blind eye to all the important negative facts of our lives, or we simply turn our back on pain and make everything very bad for us, and since everything is so bad, the original event that hurt the most is not so painful. "

"Before yesterday, I had decided to stay away from Mu Wenshu. He was a good man and he waited so long for me that everyone seemed to think I should be with him. But I have my own hesitations and anxieties.

I was afraid.

The previous broken marriage had left deep scars in my heart, like deep ruts on a muddy dirt road.
