Liang Xiaodong's footsteps stopped under the huge fig tree. In late autumn and early winter, the once lush branches and leaves had fallen bare. There was a thick layer of leaves under his feet, and when the wind blew, it made a whistling sound.
Warm light shines through the window, and a scent wafts out. It is the smell of boiled fish, his favorite dish. At this time, it must have just been poured with boiling oil and poured on the chili noodles. Hula
It spread out with a sound, red and white, it was really beautiful.
He took out the key and opened the door. The living room was empty. He walked straight into the kitchen. Qiao Xiaomai happened to come out with a pot of boiled fish. As expected, the dried chili noodles topped with boiling oil had just been opened, making a hot sizzle.
Voice.
"Xiaodong, go wash your hands and eat."
There are three plates of side dishes on the table, green bamboo shoots, green kale, golden corn, fresh fruit pudding... The conversations and scenes are all filled with a tranquil family atmosphere.
There is also this woman wearing an apron, her jade-colored onion-like tender hands, the faint fragrance emanating from her body, and her gentle tone...
Liang Xiaodong vaguely remembered Song Weichao's question to him, "What exactly do you love about this woman? Is it worth destroying your brotherhood for her?"
At that time, he didn't answer, but now, he knows clearly: this is what he loves, this quiet family taste, the smell of boiled fish, and her gentle smile.
That was the picture of a happy family he had longed for for many years. Maybe he could achieve it by just finding another woman, but wouldn't it be much better to find a woman who agrees with him and can understand each other?
"Xiaodong, it's time to eat..."
A bowl of rice was handed over to him. He sat down subconsciously, took the bowl, looked around, and then asked: "Where is Xiaobai?"
"Xiaobai went to cram school and stayed at Grandma Li's house during this period."
She said lightly, "Children will have to adapt to an independent life sooner or later, so it's not a bad thing to get some exercise early."
"Xiaobai didn't bother us in any way, and I never disliked her."
She was startled, hearing his reproachful tone. She silently took a mouthful of rice, lowered her head, and said nothing more.
This was the first time there was a cold moment between the two of them. The rice grains felt like gravel in the mouth, making it difficult to swallow.
"Today I sent a wedding invitation to Brother Wei Chao, but he refused to attend our wedding."
The tone was very plain, just stating a fact.
Qiao Xiaomai's heart suddenly beat up, just like the night before his first wedding, the ominous premonition, the terrible fall...Yi Xiangxi, Song Weichao...they took turns to fight one by one, and would never give up until Liang Xiaodong was forced to give up.
She looked over and realized that the man opposite him was horribly haggard. In a short period of time, he had lost a lot of weight. His sunny smile had lost its vitality, and he had aged several years.
Just like her own worries, she is on tenterhooks at this moment - Xiaodong, Xiaodong, what do you want to say?
And he also looked at her. At this woman whose whole body was full of secrets.
The eldest brother asked again and again - are you sure you really know Qiao Xiaomai?
Are you sure she really loves you?
Are you sure you know all about her past?
Are you sure that the two of you are really suitable together and there are really no obstacles???
In other words, can she really love you wholeheartedly?
