This year is the first Chinese New Year without Xie Min.
Liu Muqiao's mood has become very bad since the 24th of the twelfth lunar month.
In the south, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month celebrates the Little New Year.
In the past, Liu Muqiao always regarded the 24th as his New Year, and New Year's Eve as Xie Min's New Year.
This year's Little New Year was organized by Jiang Wei, and it was also very lively, but without Xie Min, Liu Miqiao felt a little like crying.
Liu Muqiao rarely cried. Even when he was very young, he cried only a handful of times.
Today, Liu Muqiao really wants to cry.
Xie Min was missing, and there was no way to contact him, unless Xie Min called him on his own initiative - this is what Liu Miqiao thought. However, it was hard to say whether this was the case, because Xie Min had indeed not called back yet.
Liu Muqiao knew that Liu Hanmo was his father, and he did not want to contact Liu Hanmo at all. He did not mean to blame Liu Hanmo, but Liu Muqiao did not want to re-establish a relationship with Liu Hanmo.
He didn't fully know his father's experience, and Xie Min only briefly talked about it. He didn't want to blame anyone. Everyone has their own difficulties, not to mention Liu Hanmo's situation at the time. It was actually difficult to have a second choice.
He knew that Wang Na was pregnant first, and as a father, Liu Hanmo had no choice but to make this choice. It was only after Liu Hanmo got married to Wang Na that he found out that Xie Min was already pregnant with Liu Miqiao.
These are all grudges from a previous life, and he has no right to blame them.
However, Liu Muqiao was not close to Liu Hanmo because of their blood relationship. Maybe genes are not that mysterious after all.
This can explain why biological parents are not as good as adoptive parents. People's feelings are gradually established in cognition and have little to do with blood ties.
Liu Muqiao also thought about calling Liu Hanmo to ask about Xie Min's situation during the Chinese New Year. After hesitating for a few hours, he gave up.
Why bother?
If she doesn't want to call back, there must be a reason not to call. What's more, Xie Min's phone is not turned off, but is shut down in a serious way.
Seclusion may require a calm mind, just like spiritual practice, the six roots must be pure, so Xie Min stopped his mobile phone?
It can only be understood this way.
Liuxu informed everyone that, as entrusted by Jiang Wei, they would celebrate the festival at the orphanage this year. On the 24th, they would celebrate the festival for the children, and everyone who could come would come.
On New Year’s Eve, everyone is invited to come to the orphanage to celebrate the New Year as much as possible. Among them, there are some people who are in difficulty, and we need to ask for their opinions.
There is no problem with Xiyu, she was the first to implement it, and she will spend the New Year in the orphanage.
Su Yajuan's parents are both in Qingjiang City. She said that on New Year's Eve, she could spend the holidays at the orphanage. However, there was a suggestion that all the people, including the children in the orphanage, come to their home on the first or second day of the new year.
They.
Catkin objects.
The children will not go.
There are now more than 70 children in the orphanage, 20 of whom have congenital defects. They are a drag wherever they go.
In the end, Jiang Wei made the decision and went to Su Yajuan's house to pay New Year's greetings to her parents on the second day of the Lunar New Year. The children and aunt did not go.
Chen Taizhong and Zhong Ling originally planned to go back to their hometown, but they canceled it at the last minute and celebrated the New Year with Liu Muqiao.
Qiao Fengzhihun and Chen Ying had no plans to go back, and they also made clear their itinerary. They would celebrate the New Year's Eve, the first and second days of the lunar new year with Liu Miqiao.
Not to mention Liu Xu and Bu Wenbin, they are the new owners of the orphanage.
Today is twenty-four.
I didn’t bring a chef with me, so I prepared the meals myself and had others helping me, including Chef Liu Maqiao.
Liu Maqiao's skills are irreplaceable. His cooking skills are not much worse than those of a chef. He has opened an intermediate treasure box, and his cooking skills are equivalent to the level of a "master" chef awarded by New Oriental.
Of course, this "master" is watery, not in the same sense as "master" in medicine.
But for sure, he is much better than the average chef.
There are still some big dishes today, but unlike the big dishes at the banquet, today we pay attention to reality, and the first condition is "deliciousness", not fame.
For example, the French foie gras, which has a strong fishy smell, will not be served, nor will the Russian caviar, but a few dishes that children like to eat will be served.
The first one is the king crab, this is going to make the children happy.
The second hard dish was lobster. Liuxu bought 10 large lobsters, all weighing more than 4 pounds. The taste may be just the same, but the key is the two lobster whiskers, which the children especially like.
The third hard dish is large yellow croaker, which is wild. The children didn’t know the price of this hard dish. Seven wild large yellow croakers cost Liuxu 70,000 yuan.
The same goes for Liuxu. She has a lot of money and is very generous. In such a young year, she actually spent hundreds of thousands.
She couldn't understand it. Poverty limited her imagination. Liuxu now earns tens of millions a year, and tens of millions in good times. She knows that all of this is Liu Miqiao's blessing.
She is willing to spend money.
The children are happy.
There were king crabs and lobsters, and they were very happy.
Liu Muqiao did not become happy because of all this. He was busy cooking.
"Actually, Aunt Xie also meant it. She wants you to live alone for a period of time, and you will mature. You will be able to take the initiative to make choices about certain things."
Jiang Wei helped and enlightened Liu Miqiao.
"You are the master of this place now. You have no one to rely on. You have to be responsible for the emotions of everyone here. It's the New Year and you want to make everyone happy. If you don't feel happy yourself, what can you do?"
Liu Muqiao nodded and said: "I also know that I have the responsibility to make everyone happy, but I can't be happy. This is the first time in 30 years that I don't have a mother. Have I not grown up yet?"
Jiang Wei said: "It is true that you have not grown up. Even though you are already the dean and have such a high position, in Aunt Xie's eyes, you Yongyun is just a child. So, this is also the reason why she left."
Liu Muqiao poured some soy sauce into the pot and shoveled it hard a few times.
"Jiang Wei, is there any other reason why she left? I always feel that she would not have hurriedly lived in seclusion with Liu Hanmo just because his wife died."
Liu Muqiao has been thinking about this issue repeatedly for a while.
"Maybe she doesn't want to help you make the decision." Jiang Wei finally expressed her inner conclusion.
"Help me make the decision? Help me make the decision?" Liu Maqiao seemed to understand.
"What do you think she will make the decision for you?" Jiang Wei said.
"Marriage?" Liu Maqiao said.
"Isn't it?" Jiang Wei said.
"Didn't I make a decision a long time ago? I will marry you." Liu Maqiao turned around and said.
"With my body like this, I can't have children. And how can you not have children?" Jiang Wei said.
"We can adopt one. Besides, there are so many children in the orphanage here. Whichever one you like, we will raise it as our own." Liu Muqiao said.
"Don't be stupid! You must have your biological children. Don't think about this." Jiang Wei said seriously.
Just as he was talking, Xi Yu came in.
"Who is thinking wildly? What are you thinking about?" Xiyu heard the last half of the sentence.
