——Happy families are all alike, but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

This is the opening chapter of Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina", which has been quoted and rewritten in various ways since its publication.

Chen Xiaomi likes this sentence very much, and interpreted it himself: The reason why an unfortunate family is unhappy is that all kinds of unexpected accidents will always occur in life. The way of life comes; and the reason why a happy family is happy is only because of one word: love.

Although she has hardly met her parents and never received love from them when she was growing up, Chen Xiaomi does not lack love in her life.

Since she was a child, she lived in an environment full of kindness, and the people she met were also very friendly. She never realized that she was different from other children.Although there are only three older sisters in her family, she has no parents.

Chen Xiaomi always thought it was because she was likable and luckily met good people.

It wasn't until she was a teenager that she began to realize that it was because her older sisters had consciously created such an environment for her.

On the one hand, they live in either private villas or high-end communities, and their neighbors are all well-educated people, they will not pry into the secrets of other people's homes at will, and they will not show any strangeness to their different family structures.

On the other hand, it is also because as the careers of the three sisters grow bigger and bigger, and their social status is getting higher and higher, almost no one dares to discuss the right and wrong of the Chen family in front of them.

In the face of money, power and wealth, minor flaws in personal life can be completely covered up.

In this way, Chen Xiaomi was able to grow up in a very relaxed environment.

Maybe it's because when she was a child, she often wandered around with her sisters and got in touch with many people. Chen Xiaomi has an outgoing and informal personality, and the environment in which she grew up allowed her to fully release her nature without any worries.

The poet Shu Ting once said in one of her works through her son's mouth:

My mother is often asked, "What does your son study?"

Mom replied: "Learn to play."

When Chen Xiaomi read this article, he felt that his childhood was probably the same. There was nothing serious, just playing.Even academic performance, no one seems to care.As if she could do anything as long as it pleased her.

This kind of carefree life passed until one day, the eldest sister suddenly squatted in front of her, stared at her for a long time with a serious face, and finally announced solemnly, "Xiaomi, you have to study hard, grow up quickly, and strive for success." Take over as soon as possible so that you and I can be liberated!"

Chen Xiaomi refused her request, "When I grow up, you and Sister Shanshan will grow old. I will never grow up, and you will always be so young!"

Then the eldest sister stopped talking.

Chen Xiaomi took the opportunity to sneak away.

Don't think she doesn't know, but she secretly overheard the eldest sister telling sister Shanshan that when she grows up, she will leave all the company affairs to her, and then she and sister Shanshan will go out to play together.

Hmph, bad guys, if you don't take her, she won't let them go either!

But the eldest sister did not give up on this decision, and has been persuasive.

Either take her to the office to see how majestic the place where you work, or take her to the mall to see how expensive her favorite snacks and toys are, and then tell her, "When you grow up and can earn your own money, you can think about it." Buy whatever you want."

Many years later, when recalling these things, Chen Xiaomi still finds it funny.How can an adult coax a child so seriously?

The key is that it has not been coaxed successfully.

But she was also very grateful. Although Chen Youran always wanted to lure her back to inherit the family business, she never forced her once.

She can study whatever she wants, and she can do as she pleases all the way up to higher education. Even the university majors are filled in with whatever is pleasing to the eye. No one has interfered with her decision from the beginning to the end.

Her undisciplined personality is inseparable from this educational environment.

So in the end, of course Chen Xiaomi, who has a loose personality, did not come back to inherit the family business. After graduation, she developed a new hobby, wandering around the world with a backpack and a camera.The family often didn't know about her for several months, and then one day they suddenly received a beautiful postcard with beautiful scenery and unique shots.

Year after year, the home is full of postcards with postmarks from all over the world, which seems to have witnessed her footprints along the way.

But Chen Youran never gave up the idea of ​​persuading her to come back to inherit the family business, but the original temptation turned into a routine inquiry: Do you plan to come back this year to inherit the family business?

Then, one New Year's Day, I got the totally unexpected answer, "Yeah!"

Chen Youran didn't even react, she stared at her blankly, until Chen Xiaomi spread her fingers and shook her palm in front of her eyes, "What, are you scared? Or are you repenting?"

"You..." Chen Youran paused before asking, "How many years have you been answering, why did you change it?"

In this regard, Chen Xiaomi also has his own theory, "People say old children, so old people are the same as children, and they are responsible for eating and playing. Young people have to bear the burden of life. You have borne it for so many years, now Of course it's my turn. If I want to continue playing, I have to quickly cultivate an heir."

Chen Youran always felt very familiar with this routine.

She thought about it, and suddenly realized, isn't this the process of her tricking Chen Xiaomi?

Chen Youran stared at her younger sister who had grown up for many years, and said after a while, "I'm not old yet, thank you."

Chen Xiaomi laughed, glanced over Chen Youran's head, and saw the newly sprouted white hairs at a glance.

Years are not forgiving.

When I was young, I hoped that I would never grow up, so that my sisters could be young and beautiful forever, which was naturally impossible to realize.Then what she can do is to let them arrange the rest of the time according to their own wishes within their ability.

When I was ignorant, I worked as a light bulb for so long without knowing it, so let's take it as her compensation now.

Her nickname is Chen Canran, and it is said that she was chosen by Sister Shanshan. I hope she will live a safe and happy life, be happy and smile often.

She had already done it in her life, and now it was her turn to protect them.

……

Unlike the eldest sister, the second sister may not see her once a year.

But every time she comes back, she will bring a whole suitcase of gifts to Chen Xiaomi, with everything to eat, drink and play, and all of them are new things that cannot be bought here. Among Chen Xiaomi's friends, there is no Undoubtedly the only one.

Several times, the second sister also proposed to take her to Shanghai to study, saying that the educational resources and various conditions there are better than those in the mainland, which is more beneficial to her.

But perhaps because she grew up with her eldest sister and sister Shanshan, Chen Xiaomi also contracted the problem of their unwillingness to leave their hometown. She was unwilling to go to such a far place to go to school, so she was willing to stay in this "mountain corner". , complacent.

So at the beginning, when she decided to travel around the world as a backpacker, her family did not believe that she had such a determination.

This child is not only eccentric, but also born lazy. He really "moves like a rabbit, quiet like a virgin". When he is lying down, he will never move more than he can.

Even though she was rejected, Chen Yanran didn't insist.

The atmosphere in their home is very strange. It seems that there is a natural lack of strings on the issue of asking children to make progress, and no one thinks of going here.

What's even more strange is that among the four members of the family, none of them are crooked in this relaxed atmosphere.

But Chen Xiaomi likes this atmosphere.

Every time I recall the past, I am able to unearth treasures worth savoring from the memory, without any unpleasant parts.So there is a particularly optimistic element in her nature, no matter what kind of desperate situation she is in, she will never give up hope.

Maybe it's because "a girl who loves to laugh is not too unlucky", she ran around the world, no matter where the dangers were, she came all the way smoothly without any problems.

As for parents, they occupy an important position in most people's lives and can often have a profound impact on their lives. In Chen Xiaomi's impression, they are very indifferent. They are two shadows like pieces of paper, and almost nothing is left what traces.

Of course, she had also heard of Chen Youran's "family history".

According to the local legend in Wuzhen, when Chen Boping and Lin Xiuying divorced, they were very benevolent. Neither of them took the common property of the family, but left it to their sisters. That's why Chen Youran had the capital to do business and finally succeeded in making a fortune. get rich.

The main forces driving the dissemination of these stories are the Chen family and the Lin family.

I don't know when, the relationship between these two families who were originally facing each other suddenly became close.They no longer criticized each other, but chose to "go hand in hand", creating a pair of moving parents together.

But even these people probably don't care much about the existence of Chen Boping and Lin Xiuying.

Because when these stories spread, these two people had completely fallen silent, and they didn't know where they had gone.

Regarding this point, Chen Xiaomi certainly had some guesses in his heart.She heard Sister Shanshan mention by chance that when they first returned to Yun County, their parents came to their door, trying to take advantage of it, but the elder sister took care of it.

How did you solve it?Sister Shanshan didn't say anything.

She is seeing results now.

Maybe it's because my life is already filled with too much love, and Chen Xiaomi doesn't have any special feelings for her parents.She never felt that anything was missing in her life, and naturally she didn't need to make up for it.
