Snowflakes drifted all over the sky, and the sound of firecrackers was heard. Every household was filled with the fragrance of the New Year's Eve dinner…Li Yuchang looked at the plates of delicious food on the table and felt very uncomfortable. He saw Li Xiaoxiao's favorite braised lion's head on the table, which was also commonly known as the Four Happiness Meatballs. Li Yuchang picked up a small piece of a big meatball and stuffed it into his mouth. He could not help but shed tears…
On the other side of the city, there was a simple New Year's Eve dinner in a simple hotel. A plate of dumplings, a set of ribs, a fish, and a set of Four Happiness Meatballs. Li Xiao Xiao looked at Xiang Mu Chun, who was picking up the food and putting it into Li Xiao Xiao's mouth. Li Xiaoxiao obediently opened her mouth and ate while hugging her bowl.
The person who had been standing outside the window for a long time stared at the girl's face, holding the takeaway in his hand.
"Bang bang bang…"
"Who is it?" Xiang Mu Chun heard a voice and asked.
"Waiter, sir." The person who spoke was a woman.
"What's the matter?" Xiang Muchun was very puzzled. It was the new year, could it be that they were celebrating the new year?
"It's like this. A gentleman asked us to give you something. Could you please open the door?”The other party's tone was still humble and polite.
Xiang Muchun walked over and opened the door. The waiter handed two big bags of things to Xiang Muchun and looked at them sparsely. It was all food, and it was still warm. There were also some clothes.
Xiang Muchun hurriedly ran to the windowsill, hoping that the person who had sent the gift had not gone far…However, there was nothing on this New Year's Eve.
"Sir, is there anything else? "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first…" The waiter placed the things on the table and raised his head to ask.
"What does the gentleman who delivered the gift look like?”Xiang Muchun stared at the dishes. Among them was Li Xiaoxiao's favorite crab meat and lion's head. It was a good dish made by the old butler of the Li family.
"It's a middle-aged man. He looks very tough and looks like a soldier.”The waiter thought about it carefully and finally decided that he was right. That person walked with strength and was just short of goose-step.
Xiang Muchun lowered his head and pondered for a moment. The waiter spoke again," Sir, is there anything else?”
" It's alright…" Xiang Mu Chun shook his head.
"Then I'll leave first. If you need anything, you can call me anytime.”The waiter was about to close the door and leave.
"Wait a minute." Xiang Muchun stopped the waiter again. The waiter turned around and asked in a good temper," Sir, is there anything else?”
"Happy New Year…"
" Happy New Year…" The waiter left and opened the box of food for Mu Chun. This time, the New Year's Eve dinner was sumptuous.
Li Xiao Xiao stared at the crab meat lion's head and asked Mu Chun to pick it up for Li Xiao Xiao and put it in her bowl. Li Xiaoxiao ate happily.
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to go home?" Xiang Muchun carefully wiped away the oil stains on Li Xiaoxiao's mouth.
" I don't want to go home…" Li Xiaoxiao started throwing a tantrum as she ate." I don't want to go home, I don't want to go home…" Xiang Muchun held Li Xiaoxiao in his arms and gently coaxed her," Okay, okay, let's not go home, let's not go home, okay…Don't cry, don't cry, okay?"”Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's bean-sized tears about to fall, he couldn't help but feel helpless.
Li Xiaoxiao's mouth was stuffed with food as she cried and almost choked. Xiang Muchun gently patted Li Xiaoxiao's back and told her not to cry. If she cried, she would choke. Li Xiaoxiao stopped crying and obediently swallowed her food.
Her cute appearance made Xiang Muchun want to kiss this doll-like girl secretly.
"Xiaoxiao, do you like me?" Xiang Muchun picked up a piece of stir-fried meat and dangled it in front of Li Xiaoxiao, trying to seduce her. Li Xiaoxiao looked at the piece of greasy and fragrant stir-fried meat. He licked his lips and opened his mouth, indicating that he wanted to eat. However, Xiang Muchun refused to let Li Xiaoxiao eat. Li Xiaoxiao raised her head with a pitiful look on her face as she smiled at Mu Chun.
"Xiaoxiao, do you like me?" Xiang Muchun picked up the piece of stir-fried meat and kept swinging it back and forth under Li Xiaoxiao's eager eyes.
Li Xiaoxiao pouted." I like it…" She slowly felt wronged. Xiang Muchun stuffed the stir-fried meat into Li Xiaoxiao's mouth, and Li Xiaoxiao chewed with satisfaction.
"Xiaoxiao, who did you say liked who?”Xiang Mu Chun raised his eyebrows and picked up another drumstick. Li Xiaoxiao took a look and swallowed her saliva.
" Say, Li Xiaoxiao likes Xiang Muchun…" Xiang Muchun picked up the chicken drumstick and tried to tempt Li Xiaoxiao again.
Then, Li Xiaoxiao could not resist the temptation and softly said," Li Xiaoxiao likes Xiang Muchun…"
Xiang Muchun smiled smugly. Li Xiaoxiao hugged Li Xiaoxiao, and Li Xiaoxiao nibbled on her drumstick. Li Xiaoxiao was only about five years old in her heart. He took care of her like a daughter. He told Li Xiaoxiao that she was the pearl in his palm.
"Who does Xiaoxiao want to marry when she grows up?" Xiang Muchun finished his New Year's Eve dinner and sat on the bed with Li Xiaoxiao watching the Spring Festival Gala. Li Xiaoxiao stared at the television with curiosity.
" I want to marry the most beautiful person in the world…" Li Xiaoxiao pointed at a figure that flashed past on the television. Xiang Muchun smiled. This little girl was still so lecherous, no matter how old she was.
However, he didn't know that there had always been a person in the depths of Li Xiaoxiao's memories. That person was as thin as a willow and had a face like a lotus. He was the man she thought was the most beautiful in the world.
"You, you pervert, you can only marry me, understand? No matter how ugly I am, you can only marry me, understand?”Xiang Muchun smiled and hugged Li Xiaoxiao. Li Xiaoxiao looked unhappy." You're not the best-looking boy. I don't like you…I don't like you…"
Xiang Mu Chun released his grip on Li Xiao Xiao. He looked at Li Xiao Xiao's face with an indescribable sadness.
It wasn't even 12 o'clock yet and Li Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep on Xiang Muchun's lap. Xiang Muchun covered Li Xiaoxiao with a blanket and leaned over to look at Li Xiaoxiao's side profile. He whispered into Li Xiaoxiao's ear,""Xiao Xiao, do you still remember what you said before? You once said that you liked me the most…You said that you would marry me when you grow up, do you still remember? Xiaoxiao…do you still remember?" As Xiang Muchun spoke, he suddenly felt very sad. He gently kissed Li Xiaoxiao's side profile. The clock chimed at 12 o'clock. Xiang Muchun looked at the fireworks that filled the sky outside the window and looked at the sleeping Li Xiaoxiao." Xiaoxiao…Happy New Year…"
After Li Yuchang returned home, the old butler came up to him. Li Yuchang handed his coat that was stained with dust and snow to the old butler. The old butler took the coat and asked,"Did Master see Miss Xiaoxiao?"”
Li Yuchang nodded." I've met him…"
The old butler asked again,"Did you say anything?"”
Li Yuchang shook his head." She didn't say anything. I just looked at her outside the window."
The old butler continued to ask,"Then, will Master hand over the food that I asked Master to bring to Miss Xiaoxiao?"”
Li Yuchang took a sip of tea and said,"I asked the waiter to pass the food you made to Xiang Muchun…Don't worry."”
The old butler didn't say anything else and just stood at the side. In the past, Li Xiaoxiao would always say,""Grandfather Butler's crab meatball is the best ~" Then, without caring about her image, she finished the plate of crab meatball that was specially made for her. This year…Li Xiaoxiao was not at home, and the old butler was really sad.
"Is there anything else? "If there's nothing else, go and rest…" Li Yuchang looked at the old butler standing there without moving and urged him to go back and rest.
The old butler was stunned for a few seconds and quickly retreated. However, when she turned around, a big red packet fell out of her pocket.
Li Yuchang picked up the red packet and asked,"Why are you preparing such a big red packet?"”
The old butler took the red packet and patted the dust off it."I prepared this red packet for Miss Xiao Xiao…Every year, I prepare a red packet like this for Miss Xiao Xiao. Miss Xiaoxiao liked it very much every time she received it.”
"I was wondering why Xiaoxiao's wallet is always more plump than the other children's, except for the red packets given by a few families every year…So it's you, old butler…" Li Yuchang said.
The old butler looked at Red Packet and muttered,"I'm getting old too…Miss Xiaoxiao, I really treat her as my biological granddaughter. Every year, Miss Xiaoxiao would come to me early in the morning and pester me, saying,'Grandfather Butler, Grandfather Butler, Happy New Year ~ Congratulations on getting rich, give me the red packet ~' Then I would give her a big red packet and let her buy her favorite dolls and candy. "I'm also happy to see Miss Xiaoxiao smiling like honey…But this year…I don't think I can give out this red packet…" The old butler's words rippled in Li Yuchang's heart…
Li Yuchang waved his hand." Butler, you may leave…"
The old butler wanted to say something but hesitated before leaving. Actually, Li Yuchang saw the old butler opening his mouth but not speaking. He knew what the old butler was going to say. The old butler would definitely say,""Old Master, when will you bring Miss Xiaoxiao back?”
Li Yuchang rubbed his temples. Mother Li made a cup of tea for Li Yuchang and said,""Let's get a divorce…"
Li Yuchang looked up at the woman and asked,""Divorce? Why?"
"Our son is dead…but you're not sad at all. Your daughter left, but you still secretly visited her. I originally thought that you would consider my feelings…I didn't expect that…the one you can't let go of is still her, right? You can't let go of your daughter either. Yuchang, let's get a divorce…"
Li Yuchang looked at this woman and finally said yes…At 12 o'clock, Li Yuchang signed the divorce agreement…
Mrs. Li left on the first day of the new year and did not take anything with her. There was nothing to take away. His only son had died…Perhaps this was retribution…He had become a mistress and destroyed someone else's family. Now, his first wife's daughter had also destroyed his happiness for the rest of his life…Good and evil would be rewarded in the end. This saying was indeed true…
When Li Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, it was already the second day. A plate of piping hot dumplings was placed in front of Li Xiaoxiao's bed. After Xiang Muchun brought Li Xiaoxiao to wash her face and brush her teeth, he saw Li Xiaoxiao finish the entire plate of dumplings. Then, he gave some of the dumplings on his plate to Li Xiaoxiao. After Li Xiaoxiao was full, she insisted on pulling Xiang Muchun out to play. Xiang Mu Chun looked at the snow outside the window and said,"Can we not go out? The snow outside is too heavy…"
However, Li Xiaoxiao still refused and insisted on pulling Xiang Muchun out. As soon as they left, Xiang Muchun saw a familiar person standing in the snow. That person came over and gave Xiang Muchun a kick. You really ran away from home. You didn't even know to go home to visit your mother on New Year's Eve. You little bastard, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?”
Seeing his father pacing back and forth in the snow, Xiang Muchun smiled. He knew that his father had cooled down.
"You little brat, what are you laughing at? You ingrate. She quickly sent Xiao Xiao back. Seeing how thin this child was now, it really made her heart ache. You don't have to worry about what your Uncle Li will do to Xiaoxiao. His wife has left. No one will bully Xiaoxiao anymore. Xiaoxiao is your Uncle Li's biological daughter. Your Uncle Li will treat Li Xiaoxiao well…You should hurry home too. Your mother misses you…"
After hearing Father Xiang's words, Xiang Mu Chun nodded his head and held Li Xiao Xiao's hand."Xiaoxiao, call me uncle."
Li Xiaoxiao said obediently,"Happy New Year, Uncle…Congratulations on getting rich, Uncle. Give me the red packet."”
Xiang Muchun's father was stunned. Xiang Muchun smiled. Xiang Muchun's father took out a red packet from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiaoxiao."This girl is still so sneaky ~"
Li Xiaoxiao smiled happily when she received the red packet. Walking to the front of the car, Father Xiang took out a red packet from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiang Muchun's hands.
" I don't think I need it…" Xiang Mu Chun looked at the red packet.
"Take it. This time, you're out. You know how hard it is to have no money, right? You can't even afford a hotel without money. You know that you can't raise her without me.”Father Xiang opened the car door for Li Xiaoxiao to enter. Xiang Muchun stuffed the red packet into his pocket and smiled.
