all the way

Liu Kui and Xiu Mei stood in the middle of the room, turned around and looked around, Liu Kui said happily, "My boy, that's not bad."

Xiumei touched the TV, touched the refrigerator, and touched almost all the furniture: "That's great, we have everything.

In the past, when my mother and I took apart and washed the old clothes of our uncle and your elder brother and made them into clothes and sewed them up for you, we thought that if we could make a new set of brand new clothes for you sometime, we would be successful. I never imagined that one day you would live in the city, become a city resident, and have such a nice house.

Color TV refrigerator, we have never heard of it before, but after we heard about it, we didn’t dare to think that we can also use it in this life. Alas, I didn’t expect that my family is the smallest, and it turns out to be the most irritating and kick-ass. Yaoer will be admitted to the best university and live a good life first. "

Liu Kui smiled and snorted Liu Xia's hair: "Although the youngest is the most irritating, but also the smartest, my son is living such a good life, my uncle and mother must be the happiest."

Liu Xia fluttered his hair messed up by his elder brother, smiled and went to turn on the TV first, then took off Liu Xin's shoes and the little trousers on the outside, pulled off the quilt and wrapped him in the bed, and then went to warm him Water bag: "If there is electricity in our place, I will buy a color TV for our family first. You can not only listen to the theater, but also watch the theater at home. If there is no shortage of food in our place, just leave our house, my third brother The rest of us can also make our uncle, mother and you all live a good life."

He wrapped the hot water bag in a towel and put it in Liu Xin's arms. The little guy smiled at him and watched TV comfortably with the hot water bag wrapped.

Liu Xia picked out the two pair of trousers he bought for Xiumei on his own initiative just now, brought a shoe box and put it beside the bed, and said to Xiumei, "Sister-in-law, I'm going down to buy some steamed buns, and you can change both the trousers and the shoes. Alright."

When Liu Xia went out, Xiumei picked up two pairs of trousers for comparison, one was dark blue and the other was dark gray. She shook off the dark blue and took out a pair of pants with a fringe and two pompoms from the shoe box. Leather shoes, leather shoes with a little heel, but not high, Xiumei looked at Liu Kui a little hesitantly: "We are in the mountains, if I go back with high-heeled leather shoes, people will definitely laugh at them."

Liu Kui said: "Did you spend a mile of money on them? My brother is willing to buy it for you, so you just wear it. They are not a joke, they are jealous!"

Xiumei sat on the edge of the bed and took off her muddy shoes and trousers, put on her trousers and said, "Why do I think Chuan'er and Xiaohui treat us as outsiders? Yao'er put it here to buy clothes for our uncle and uncle." , they ran to buy shoes for me, did they think that asking Yaoer to pay for me to buy miles didn’t count? Hey, it's weird, it's a little bit long."

Liu Kui stood up, walked a little further away, and looked at Xiumei wearing leather shoes: "When did you learn to think so much about nothing? Chuan'er hasn't stayed home for half a year, and Yao'er is busy, but he always thinks about taking care of Xiaowei and Xiaowei. Rui, I often bought good things and asked the cat to bring them to Xiaohui and the others. It cost a lot of money. Chuaner and Xiaohui just didn’t want to ask Yaoer to spend more money, so they hurriedly bought them for you. Are you an outsider?

Chuan'er used to buy clothes for our uncle, our mother, and our uncle every year. Can you say that he treats our uncle and our mother as outsiders? "

After Xiumei put on her leather shoes, she looked around and found that the slightly longer trousers fit well with the leather shoes: "Well, it fits well. You say it's the same, I don't mean it, I usually don't I didn't do anything, just feed the baby and sleep with the baby in the evening. I was always afraid that they would feel tired because of this, and bought me something because they felt sorry. If they think that way, I don't want these shoes. They are all my children, and I am the mother of the children, so it should be all right."

Liu Kui said: "It's different, you think we Xiaoyun and Xiaolei should be seen, Chuan'er and the others think that they are brothers and earn money, and they should buy something for your sister-in-law, because we are a family. .”

Xiumei straightened up and straightened her trousers: "That's right, my brothers are so kind to me, I just leave it here and think about it."

Xiumei looked taller and slimmer after putting on her leather shoes and new trousers with drapes of fabric.

Liu Kui also took out the new cloth shirt and handed it to her: "Here, put them all on and let me have a look."

Xiumei felt a little embarrassed. She wore a new suit on ordinary days. She had never seen anyone do this since she was a child, but Liu Kui looked at her so happily, and she simply took off the old cloth shirt on her body. , Put on this new jacket with a dark red background and a faint light gray pattern.

Liu Kui called Liu Xin: "Xiao Xin, does your mother look good?"

At this moment, Liu Xin's all thoughts were on the poor Monkey King. She quickly glanced at Xiumei, looked at the rolling Monkey King and Tang Seng who was muttering words, and said, "It's beautiful. Can't tell."

Liu Xia just opened the door and came in. He also heard what Liu Kui asked. He looked at Xiumei and said, "Sister-in-law, if Mao Jianyong is selling clothes here today, he will definitely ask you to wear clothes and put them in his shop for a while." Two hours, if you agree, this dress will definitely cost nothing, maybe he will give you another one in other colors."

Xiumei asked, "Why?"

Liu Xia wrapped a bunch of candied haws in paper and handed them to Liu Xin: "You acted as a model for him, that's how I earned my T-shirts and jeans."

Xiumei took the steamed bun and said, "Don't make fun of me, sister-in-law. I'm such an old-fashioned bastard. If I stand in someone's shop for a while, I think it will delay their business. Why do you want to be a model? Boy, why do you buy so many?" Mum?"

Liu Xia said: "A few days ago, I wanted to get some hot food for Xiaorui and Maoer to eat, but I couldn't make it, so I used a stupid method. See you, I will buy more steamed buns today, and send some to them, and you can try them too.

Sister-in-law, please help me slice the steamed bun into three layers from the middle, don’t let the slices be too thick, just like sandwiching sesame seed cakes, don’t worry about the rest, let’s watch TV with my brother.

I'll make some hot soup for the baby and send it together later, or the baby will always be cold sitting there in the evening self-study! "

Liu Xia insisted on making food for Liu Rui and Mao Er by himself, and did not let Liu Kui and Xiumei participate.

But Xiumei couldn't stay idle, she watched TV for a few minutes, stood up and looked around the room again, finally opened the door and went out to have a look, and came back and said to Liu Xia, "Yaoer, didn't you say that the other side of the corridor belongs to you?" Do you do it yourself? I see that the place where you cook is so small that you can’t store anything. I’ll go back and ask my brother to make two cabinets for you. Make them tighter and install glass. You can put them on the head. One is placed with its back against the outer wall, and you can put all the small things that are not used in your house inside, and you can also put the pot in it, which is very powerful.”

The kitchen is indeed too small. The three pots, the frying pan is placed on the kerosene stove when not in use, and the other two pots are usually placed on the chopping board, and they are placed on the ground when the chopping board is in use.

Except for winter, the people upstairs cook in the corridor for the other three seasons. Liu Xia also planned it this way. Therefore, it should be very suitable and convenient to put the cabinet that Xiumei said there. That's it.

Lin Gong also blocked a part of the west end with cardboard, making it look like a small room, but this self-made small room is bigger than the kitchen.

Liu Kui said: "As long as people allow it to be used, we will tell my elder brother when we go back tomorrow that it will be ready after the Chinese New Year, and we will be able to use it after the new year." Liu Kui looked around the room again and said: "Tomorrow, my uncle I'm here with my uncle, I don't know how happy I am to see you live in such a nice place.

Boy, you didn't suffer in vain all those years, you finally got yourself out and brought our cat out, otherwise, the boy has been kept in our village, even if our family can protect the boy, no People dare to bully him openly, but they still treat the child badly in their hearts, and they can't tell it normally, but when the child grows up, it should be said that he married a wife, and he will be the same as Liu Miao and others now. It has to be yellow. "

Liu Xia stirred the eggs in the bowl, sneered and said: "Whoever wants to abuse our child again in this life, just blind him!

Our cat is smart, and he will definitely be admitted to university. Even if the child fails to enter university, I can still save money to let him start a business, and then marry him a beautiful and virtuous wife. Everything goes well, so that those people can't even catch up with his heels, and they will never have the opportunity to talk nonsense to him again. "

Liu Kui smiled and said, "Now they can't reach our baby anymore, what a fart."

Liu Xia put the egg bowl aside, came over and sat next to Liu Kui on the edge of the bed: "Brother, sister-in-law, you are too dark to stay here today, you can't leave."

Xiumei pushed open the door of the bathroom again, and was standing at the door looking in, as if she was planning something, when she heard Liu Xia's words, she laughed: "Silly boy, your elder brother and Xiao Xin are living here, I am a girl Why are you guys sleeping here? Besides, if I don’t go back, Xiaoyun and Xiaolei will eat up your third brother and third sister-in-law. Those two are more obedient than anyone else, but if you If you get upset and make trouble, no one can help them.

I'll make a meal for you and the cat in a while, baby, and I have to leave when I'm done eating. There doesn't seem to be enough room there, so let your elder brother and Xiao Xin let you stay here for a while, Xiaowei and Xiaorui In fact, I also miss your elder brother, but if a large group of people leave your third brother's side to have fun, and just you and Mao'er leave here, your elder brother will definitely be reluctant to leave you behind.

Yao'er, I've been watching for a long time, you already have a big color TV and a refrigerator, why don't you buy a washing machine?You and the cat are both boys. It is so troublesome to wash clothes. You still run outside all day long. The clothes are soaked quickly. It is so convenient to buy a washing machine. People say that the double-cylinder washing machine is only more than 400 yuan. You are not buying it. Sorry. "

Liu Xia was taken aback. He really hadn't thought about buying a washing machine. He bought a color TV because it was boring for the cat to be alone at home. He bought a refrigerator because the cat drank milk and needed to be stored at low temperature. He also included air conditioners and small bicycles with inclined beams in his plan;

Cats are afraid of the heat, so they need an air conditioner; cats are too nervous to run to school every day, so having a bicycle can save a lot of time; you can buy a washing machine...

Liu Xia nodded: "I should buy a washing machine. Sometimes I'm very tired, and I want to lie down after taking a shower, and I want to save the dirty clothes for two days before washing them, but I just put them there, cat My son will wash it for me... Yes, I will be getting a bonus this month, first buy a washing machine with two tanks, so that I can save washing a piece of clothing for a week."

The steamed sausage invented by Liu Xia was finished steaming. He put one out on a plate and asked Xiumei to blow it for Liu Xin to eat. He hurried to stew milk and make egg soup.

Liu Xin ate while blowing: "Ha, Huhu, Uncle, Mom, it's delicious, you two eat it too."

Liu Xia steamed ten of them, gave Liu Rui and Mao'er four, and they ate the rest themselves.

Liu Kui and Xiu Mei each took one to eat, Liu Kui ate a few mouthfuls and said: "Yaoer, you really hit it, our mother stays home all day worrying that you two can't cook, I'm afraid you can't eat well, I didn't expect you It’s so delicious to make Roujiamo by yourself.”

Liu Xia proudly said: "Mao'er is always greedy, and cooked meat is often cold when I buy it on the street, so I thought of this method, isn't it not bad, brother?"

Xiumei said: "It's not bad, baby. What kind of meat are you putting in here? It's so delicious."

Liu Xia packed the two thermos cups, wrapped the four steamed buns several times with white cloth and towels, and put them in the bag: "Ham, here, there is still a whole box, I have long wanted to go home Give it away, I can’t leave when it snows, take it with you when you leave, steam it at home and ask our mother to try it too, brother, I..."

"Hey, Liu Xia is on the phone from Rongze High School. I told you to answer it quickly." Master Zhao's call interrupted Liu Xia.

Liu Xia picked up the bag and ran out: "I answered the phone and went straight to deliver food to the child. Wait for me to come back."

But as soon as Xiumei cleaned Liu Xia's egg soup pot, Liu Xia called out from below: "Sister-in-law, come down quickly, my third sister-in-law is on the phone, Xiaoyun and Xiao Lei are about to fall out, and third sister-in-law let me You go over quickly."

Su Xiaohui made the call, but she only said a few words, followed by Liu Yun and Liu Lei crying: "Mother, mother, come back, let's go home..."

Xiumei hurried downstairs, and Liu Kui went downstairs with Liu Xin who was dressed. Liu Xin liked watching color TV very much, but he wanted his elder brother Liu Wei even more, so he insisted on going back to sleep with Liu Wei tonight.

With Liu Xin in front of Liu Xia and Xiumei in the back seat, he came to the county against the northwest wind.

When the cat heard that neither the grandpa nor the grandpa went to their house, he jumped up and down on the spot: "Why, why? They promised me to go to our house, and now their words don't count."

Xiumei pushed the steamed bun in Mao'er's hand: "Eat steamed bun first, your uncle has been making it for a long time, but he just doesn't want you to eat cold."

The cat took a big bite of the steamed bun, pouted while chewing the steamed bun.

Liu Xia breathed on his palms twice with hot air, then rubbed his hands vigorously, and then covered the cat's ears to warm him: "Don't be angry, boy, I'm going to see your mother and Xiao Xin off now, and I'll try to call Grandpa when I get there." Go to our place with grandpa, right?"

Mao'er nodded: "You tell grandpa and grandpa that it doesn't count if they can't talk. Didn't grandpa say that you have to be honest? He has to talk too. If they don't go to our place today, I understand My son won't go to school, and we will wait for them at home."

Liu Xia said, "Come on, you two can eat. After you finish eating, pack the thermos. You can take the cat with you today. Uncle will pick you up when you leave school and take you away together."

Liu Xia took Xiumei and Liu Xin to the road leading to the old city not far away, and saw Liu Changqing and Liu Chuan standing at the west end of Zehe Bridge with a little guy in their arms.

Liu Xia arched his body and kicked hard, and several people over there saw them. Liu Yun and Liu Lei supported themselves and fell to the ground, running bumpily, crying, "Mother, mother is back, mother is back, hug me hug……"

Xiumei jumped out of the car, ran a few steps over, squatted down and opened her arms for the two little guys to rush over.

The two little guys cried and said: "Mom, let's go, don't leave his house, his house is not beautiful."

Xiumei took out a handkerchief to wipe the snot and tears of the two little guys, her eyes were red with pain: "My baby is good, my baby will stop crying, mother is back, we will go back to our house tomorrow."

It is only about 500 meters from Zehe Bridge to where Liu Chuan lives, but the walk is extremely difficult. The two little guys have to be hugged by Xiumei, but Liu Chuan is not allowed to touch them. They were quite affectionate with Liu Chuan when they were in Liujialing. Yes, but in Rongze, a completely unfamiliar place, the two of them only let the most familiar Xiumei and Liu Changqing hug each other. They didn't see Xiumei for a long time, and after finally seeing each other, the two of them didn't even let Liu Changqing hug them.

Liu Chuan looked worriedly at the two little guys crowded on the beam of the bicycle, and said to Liu Changqing and Liu Xia: "If this is going to kindergarten next year, what can we do?"

It was Xiumei's first time pushing a bicycle, and she couldn't push it steadily. Liu Xia walked on the right side of the bicycle to help her hold the handlebar. Hearing Liu Chuan's words, he teased Liu Yun and Liu Lei: "Are you two waiting to see the kindergarten?"

The two little guys stopped crying, but they were still sobbing a bit. Hearing this, he looked at Liu Xia and then at Xiumei. Liu Yun asked Xiumei: "Your (er) garden? What is it?...Your garden, okay?" Eat, isn't it delicious?"

Liu Xia burst into laughter, even Liu Changqing couldn't help laughing, and said Liu Yun: "Boy, your parents will bring you delicious food as long as they go back, and if they can't go back, your uncle will also try to give you something to eat." Buy, you are not old wronged!"

Liu Chuan gritted his teeth and said, "It's delicious. It's even more delicious than Old Gulong and Beef Sauce. It's delicious. Are you up for it?"

Liu Yun blinked, looked at Xiumei, then at Liu Chuan: "No, go home and find grandma."

Liu Chuan put on a look of hope in the sky and said: "What a good boy, there is something else in my heart besides eating."

Su Xiaohui no longer did what he wanted, and honestly cooked at home. After Xiumei came back, she took the hands of the two little guys to help him. Very well-behaved and sensible.

From the moment Liu Xia entered Liu Chuan's room, he stared at Liu Changqing and Liu Changchun with puffy faces, and stopped talking.

Liu Changchun smiled gently, and said to Liu Changqing: "Brother, my son is really angry with us."

Liu Changqing stretched out his hands to straighten the messy hair on Liu Xia's forehead, touched his face, and said with a smile, "Are you really angry, kid?"

Liu Xia rolled his eyes and looked elsewhere.

Liu Changqing said: "Boy, it's not that your uncle doesn't want to go, you just went to work for a short time, and I will only embarrass you if I go to your unit like I did later today..."

Liu Xia became furious at once, staring and said: "Who are you missing? Isn't it just mud on the pants and shoes? It's like that if you ask anyone to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads, and the crops are still growing in the mud. See who is so foreign that he can grow up without eating!"

Liu Changqing laughed: "Don't talk about it, Yao'er said it makes sense, why not Changchun, let's go to Hai'er's place now?"

Liu Changchun said, "Brother Zhong, let's go if you say so."

Liu Xia still puffed up his face: "I'm not going to have a look, I'm going to live with me. Anyway, my bed is big enough to sleep four or five people."

Liu Chuan said: "The bed is fine, what about the quilt? You only have two quilts, why do you ask our uncle and uncle to cover them?"

Liu Xia glared at Liu Chuan.

Liu Chuan walked up to the big cabinet: "When I was single, all the quilts were removed, washed and cleaned. It's useless to put them here. Let's call for a tricycle and pull them over together."

When Liu Xia put the quilt in the back of the car and walked out, Su Xiaohui came over and said that the food would be ready soon, and let them eat before leaving.

Liu Xia refused: "My eldest brother must be ready to cook soon, so I asked my uncle and uncle to go to my place to have a meal. Besides, I have to pick up the cat, so I can't wait."

Liu Chuan went to call for three rounds, Liu Changqing and Liu Changchun sat on the quilt, and Liu Xia followed on a bicycle.

Liu Kui was really cooking with a kerosene stove, making sweet potato soup. He was very happy to see his father and Liu Changchun coming over, so he asked Liu Xia how he moved Liu Changqing while he was washing his hands.

Liu Xia said very embarrassingly: "What level we are, as long as I think about it, I can get it done with a few words."

The house is so big, Liu Changqing and Liu Changchun both heard Liu Xia's snarling in the room, they looked at each other and smiled, and looked around the room again in relief.

As soon as the cat heard that the grandpa and grandpa had really come, he sat on the beam and swayed happily from side to side: "Hahaha, I knew that grandpa and grandpa would miss us too, and they would definitely come."

Liu Xia was so shaken that he couldn't hold the handlebars steady, so he had to stop the car with one foot on the ground, and pulled him back: "Uncle's heart is a little cold, hold tight, and keep him warm."

Mao'er immediately became honest, turned around, put his face on Liu Xia's chest, and held his waist without moving.

Walking to the gate of the hydrographic team, Liu Xia remembered that there were two more people in the family, and it seemed that there was not enough bun left in the afternoon, so he rode his bike directly to the small department store next to him, where he sold buns in the afternoon.

He and Mao'er bought steamed buns, and when they were pushing the cart to leave, they saw the back of the person walking in front of them who looked like Ding Hongliang. He and Mao'er stopped riding the bike, and just pushed and walked into the gate of the hydrographic team. The street lights inside them were much brighter than those of the municipal government outside, and he finally saw clearly that that person was really Ding Hongliang.

Liu Xia walked slowly on purpose, he didn't want to greet Ding Hongliang, because he didn't know how to say hello.

After Liu Xia greeted Ding Hongliang who was waiting to be assigned a dormitory on the afternoon of New Year's Day, and went home, Liu Xia hadn't seen him again for more than half a month.

Liu Xia heard from Wan Jianye that when the dormitory was allocated that day, Fu Dong assigned Ding Hongliang to Wang Jianjun's room where he used to live alone in a dormitory.

Wang Jianjun is the driver of the team. Before those newcomers came, he was the only unmarried employee who lived alone in a dormitory besides Liu Xia. They happened to share a room for two, so he took advantage of the single dormitory where he had lived for nearly a year.

It is said that Ding Hongliang was very shocked and dissatisfied when he heard that he actually wanted to share a house with other people. My own things were thrown away, and then I didn't come back for so many days.

Liu Xia finally stopped working in the field, and devoted himself to cooking for the cat. He would make plans and calculations in the spare time. After hearing about Ding Hongliang, he forgot it immediately. He never thought that he would talk to himself relationship.

A few mornings ago, Liu Xia came back from delivering the cats and shopping for groceries, and met Wang Jianjun and a few other people in the team in front of the newspaper board at the gate. The sun was warm, and Wang Jianjun was yelling at Ding Hongliang. The chairman of the trade union, relying on his seniority, had the cheek to put Ding Hongliang, whose major was totally wrong, into the third team. .

When Wang Jianjun saw Liu Xia, he was like a policeman who had been following an unsolved case for many years and suddenly discovered crucial evidence. He pulled Liu Xia and told everyone, "Look at Xiao Liu, he is a real key graduate from a prestigious university. Our team is in urgent need of professional talents, but the dormitories are assigned to them by the office and they can live there.

What the hell is Ding Hongliang graduating from Sanluan School? He actually asked for the same treatment as Xiao Liu. He yelled at Brother Fu Dong in front of several of us: Liu Xia graduated from a bachelor's degree, and so do I. Why can he do it by himself? If I live in a dormitory alone, I have to live in a collective dormitory?

Brother Fu Dong said to him: Liu Xia lived alone in a dormitory, which was decided by the team leaders after collective research. I am only responsible for implementing it. I am not obliged to explain so much to you, but if you really want to ask, I can tell you my opinion. you:

Liu Xia was specially recruited by the General Administration to go to other schools, and the General Administration designated him to stay, but Liu Xia himself asked to come to the third team;

You used your relationship to go through the back door, cover up your assignment late for several months and hide it from the sky, and you were forced into the third team;

The same undergraduate, Liu Xia is a high-achieving student in the ace major of a national key undergraduate school, and the major is what the third team is looking for;

You are an ordinary three-ben normal school in Central Plains Province, and the Chinese language major and the business of the third team are completely out of reach;

Ding Hongliang, do you really think you are like Liu Xia?

Didn't you see how disgusting Fu Dongge made him at that time? Fu Dongge was so awesome that every word he said was like a big slap in the face.

Damn, his uncle is just a labor union chairman, so he thought he was the king of heaven, and wanted to play tricks on Brother Fu Dong. His father used to belong to the provincial government, and his elder brothers and sisters are also in the government now. If you are a leader, you are afraid that he will throw a ball!

Don't you think so, Liu Xia? "

Liu Xia just smiled at that time, he didn't know how to answer Wang Jianjun's words, and he didn't know if Wang Jianjun's words were watery, but anyway, Liu Xia panicked when he saw Ding Hongliang after hearing Wang Jianjun's words.

When he first learned that Ding Hongliang pulled himself out as a target to talk about things, Liu Xia was actually not that disgusting. He felt that usually in that situation, most people would compare people with similar conditions. This can be regarded as a normal human reaction, but Ordinary people would be scruples about the upcoming colleague relationship, and would not speak out even if they were not aggrieved, but Ding Hongliang did.

Let’s say that Liu Xia was the same as him back then, his desire for owning an independent dormitory was strong in the past, so he spoke out impulsively, so even if he felt uncomfortable, Liu Xia tried hard to persuade himself to forgive him.

But the more Liu Xia thought about it later, the more he felt that Ding Hongliang was the most unforgivable in terms of his current situation. It is the kind of person who is afraid of wolves and tigers, who cares about the opinions of the people below, and is always afraid that someone will say that he is unfair and unscrupulous. If Ding Hongliang makes such a fuss, maybe his house will be gone, and he will have to be like everyone else Living in a collective dormitory, if that happens, the small nest he and the cat have just built will be gone, and he will have to take the cat outside to rent a house to wander.

Thinking of the picture of Maoer chasing him all over the street looking for a house, Liu Xia's generosity towards Ding Hongliang disappeared completely at the beginning. Just get angry.

But Liu Xia's dislike for Ding Hongliang is not only because his own interests may be damaged because of Ding Hongliang, but also because of the fact that Ding Hongliang's first day at work, a new unit, a day's work He hadn't done it yet, so he just asked others so confidently, and he did so after entrusting his relationship with him, and it was half a year late before he could enter a better unit.

Doesn't he think about the feelings of the man who took so much effort to get him in?Even if that person is his uncle.

How selfish and self-righteous is such a person?If you become friends with such a person, or have a close relationship, besides being used as a shield by him at a critical moment, will there be other results?

Think about Ding Hongliang's performance at the party on the first day. He can play the guitar so well, but he can show it off in front of everyone so confidently. Or do you want to show the illusion of being economical?

For such a person who is extremely vain, selfish and self-righteous, and once pulled himself out as a target in public, Liu Xia felt that of course it was better to stay as far away from him as possible.

But Ding Hongliang had talked to him enthusiastically before, and Ding Hongliang didn't use him as a target in front of his face, so Liu Xia couldn't treat him like Zhang Shubao.

But it was impossible for Liu Xia to restrain his disgust and pretend to be polite and thoughtful to talk to Ding Hongliang, so he had to wait for Ding Hongliang to walk over first.

Mao'er didn't know that Ding Hongliang used Liu Xia as a target, but he knew that his uncle didn't like the person in front of him, so even though Mao'er wanted to run home, but Liu Xia didn't want to walk with that person, Mao'er just obediently Follow Liu Xia.

However, people are not as good as God.

Just when Liu Xia and Mao'er were about to reach the entrance of their building, Liu Kui suddenly said on the second floor: "Xiaoxia, Mao'er, why have you been here for so long? Come on up quickly, dinner is early." It’s ready, it’ll be cold if you don’t come back.”
