Is her mother a musician? No wonder even though I didn't see the girl's face clearly last night, I could feel her special temperament. It was probably the influence of her family. But unfortunately she couldn't go tonight.

"Thank you for the invitation, Sister Tian, ​​but my son is back from the United States and will be home tonight. Sorry."

It is indeed an important matter for other people's children to come back from abroad. Xiang's mother shook her head to show her understanding.

"It's okay, I'll find someone else."

After flying for more than ten hours and waiting for three hours in Singapore, Zhuang Xu arrived at Nancheng Airport at around nine in the evening. The airport was in the suburbs, and when his parents picked him up at their new villa, it was already nearly twelve o'clock. He washed up and went back to his room and fell asleep.

It was already past ten o'clock when he woke up. He was still a little dazed when he opened his eyes. Only when he came to his senses did he realize that he was in his new home.

After a quick wash, he planned to explore the villa. When he went up to the third floor, he saw his mother painting on the balcony. He walked over,

"Mom, what are you drawing?"

He turned around and looked around. The scenery of this villa was really nice. Every household had a variety of green plants, especially some households planted so many flowers. It seemed that their mood had become better.

Guan Hong looked towards the source of the sound. Her son, whom she hadn't seen for more than a year, came to stand beside her, stretched his body, and looked like he hadn't woken up yet. She smiled and said,

"Just draw something. I've left breakfast for you in the kitchen downstairs. It's almost lunch time. Eat a little and I'll make you something delicious for lunch."

It's good to go home, Zhuang Xu put his arm around his mother's shoulders and asked,

"Where's Dad?"

"He will be back soon from shopping, let's go eat."

"That's great. I haven't tasted your cooking in a long time." He was still adjusting to the jet lag. After stretching, he still felt a little sleepy. He planned to have breakfast and then go to sleep. Just as he was about to turn around, he remembered the things in the suitcase.

"Mom, I brought gifts for you and Dad. And, I brought a lot of chocolates especially for you."

Seeing that he was seeking credit and praise, Guan Hong smiled and patted her son's arm.

"it is good."

Guan Hong has a hobby that seems inconsistent with her appearance, which is eating chocolate.

She was born into a relatively wealthy family with two nannies and several servants.

My father is the boss of the family. He is a stern old scholar who has a strong control desire and follows rules. In the past, chocolate was a rare thing. There were many brothers and sisters in the family. When someone gave chocolate to them, my father would distribute it to them one by one.

As the fourth child in the family, she has two older brothers, an older sister and a younger brother. She is the least favored one and gets the least.

But fortunately, her older brother and sister loved her. They knew she loved chocolate and would break off some of their own chocolate to share with her. So in her memory, chocolate was a very precious and beautiful thing.

Later, she met Cheng Wensong, who knew she liked chocolate and although he didn't have much money, he would save his living expenses to buy it for her.

As a university graduate majoring in architecture, Wensong said that he would work hard to become a chief engineer, who would have a high salary and could buy her a lot of chocolates.

At that time, under the desk lamp, his eyes were filled with love for her and hope for a better life in the future. The scene of him concentrating on drawing seriously also made her remember it for a long time.

But later, the man who said he would be good to her and buy her chocolates for the rest of her life broke his promise.

After that, she didn't dare to eat chocolate for a long time. After a long time, she pulled herself together and went to the imported food section of the store alone to buy a bag of the most expensive chocolate. She hadn't eaten it for many years. She remembered the taste, which was very smooth and sweet, but she couldn't help crying on the spot.

She ate all the chocolates in the bag and felt a little sick of them at the end, but she remembered Wen Song saying that his biggest wish was to make her happy forever, the persuasion of her elder brother and sister and her angry scolding, her weak but loving mother's crying and persuasion, and Zhuang Yuanqing's unwavering and meticulous companionship for five years.

Later, she came to terms with things and married Zhuang Yuanqing, who had been waiting for her, and later gave birth to a son, Zhuang Xu.

"Mother!"

Guan Hong was called back to her senses by her son's call. She was still a little dazed and said in a daze,

"what?"

Zhuang Xu didn't know what his mother was thinking, so he repeated what he had just said.

"The chocolate is in my suitcase. You don't have to leave it for me, Mom. I'm going to eat first."

Guan Hong smiled and nodded to show that she understood. Looking at her son's back as he left, she felt warm in her heart, but she still couldn't help but sigh softly.

She was about to continue painting when she heard someone calling her from the villa next door. It turned out to be Tian Mingfang who had just walked into the yard.

"Xiao Guan, I'm drawing."

"Ah."

She saw Tian Mingfang standing in the yard without doing anything after coming out, so she asked Tian Mingfang in confusion what she was doing. Tian Mingfang said with a smile on her face,

"Mr. Xiang called and said he was almost home and had bought a lot of food, so he asked me to come out and help him get it."

"My son, daughter-in-law and her family are coming to have dinner together today. You met my daughter-in-law a few days ago, Yinyin, An An's mother."

So, Guan Hong said with some envy,

"That's great, Sister Tian is so lucky."

Tian Mingfang was very happy in her heart and her face was beaming with joy.

"Yeah, I don't ask for much when I'm old. It's good enough if the kids come back to visit and spend time together occasionally."

"Didn't your child just come back? Bring your child over later. Old Xiang bought a lot of food, so it will definitely be enough."

Guan Hong also knew that they were just being polite. After all, it was a family gathering and she was an outsider and it would be impolite to go, so she politely declined.

Tian Mingfang smiled and said,

"Okay, let's get together next time."

As he spoke, Xiang's father's car drove into the yard.

Guan Hong thought of what her son had just said, and also thought of the lovely An An and Yin Yin who made her feel very close, so she went downstairs to her son's room and opened his suitcase. Sure enough, he brought several boxes of chocolates, both big and small, with many flavors.

Guan Hong took a big heart-shaped iron box of chocolates, studied the flavors, and took some that didn't look bitter or had some nuts. When she went downstairs, she saw her son eating fruit in the living room, so she said,

"Have you finished your breakfast?" He raised the things in his hand again.

"I'll give some of the chocolate you bought to Miss Tian next door. She has a kid who will love it."

Zhuang Xu nodded.

"Well, mom, if you don't have enough, I'll buy you more."

He has been living abroad for many years and his parents have just moved here. It would be best if they could get along harmoniously with their neighbors so that they can help each other when something happens.

-

Guan Hong came to the next door and found the door to the yard was open.

Many families here often keep their yard doors open during the day. Everyone has a good relationship, there are no disputes, and the neighborhood relations are very good.

"Ms. Tian?"
