"Haha, you're embarrassed to admit it! Zhiqiang, we've all been here before. I know you've been busy recently and don't have much time to spend with Xiaoxiao, but you must remember my words and pay attention to your health!"

Looking at Fang Zhiqiang's still dazed look, Xiao's mother couldn't help but smile, and then continued.

"Oh...I understand, Mom..." Fang Zhiqiang, who understood, glanced at Li Xiaoxiao again casually, and then nodded fiercely.

"Hurry up and eat! I made the yam porridge specially for you, so take advantage of it!" Xiao's mother filled a bowl of porridge for Fang Zhiqiang and said while handing it to Fang Zhiqiang.

Fang Zhiqiang quickly took the porridge, then glanced at Li Xiaoxiao again, then slowly reacted, and then started eating on his own.

"Eat vegetables!" Li Yonggui saw Fang Zhiqiang drinking porridge, and then reminded him again.

"Yeah!" Fang Zhiqiang nodded and ate the food like a machine.

People at the table looked at Fang Zhiqiang's machine-like figure and smiled.

But only Li Xiaoxiao, when everyone was laughing, she was eating her meal with her head down and expressionless.

"Zhiqiang, why do you always feel that you are a bit reserved in this family?"

Xiao's mother didn't move her chopsticks, just watching Fang Zhiqiang wolfing down the food, and spoke again.

Of course Fang Zhiqiang devoured the food. At this moment, he didn't want to stay at this dinner table. The atmosphere was really weird.

"Ah? No, I'm a very good mother." Fang Zhiqiang stopped the chopsticks that were about to be put into his mouth, then looked at Xiao's mother and said.

"Zhiqiang, you must not be restrained in any way in our own home. You, Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxia are all the same to us. Look, we don't have a son at home, so you are the same to us.

, just like a biological son, we treat you and say whatever we say. You don’t have to take it to heart, just remember it all the time.

Come on, we will always regard you as our relative." Xiao's mother said seriously, and after Fang Zhiqiang listened, he nodded fiercely. In fact, Fang Zhiqiang knew this, Xiao's mother

He and Li Yonggui have always been very good to him. Sometimes, Fang Zhiqiang can indeed feel the warmth of home here.

But Fang Zhiqiang also knows very well that no matter how real that feeling is, it cannot be true. After all, he is in someone else's home. No matter how close he is, he is not his biological child after all, so this will never change.

.

Speaking of which, Fang Zhiqiang has almost forgotten what he looked like in front of his parents.

People who have parents must be very happy, right? No matter how old you are, you can act coquettishly in front of them...

behave in a spoiled manner.

This word sounds a bit pretentious, but for Fang Zhiqiang, how much he wants to act coquettishly now!

In front of Xiao Ma and Li Yonggui, this is obviously impossible. They have high expectations for themselves. Once they do something that makes them look down upon, their situation in this family will become more and more embarrassing.

As for Li Xiaoxiao, it is even more impossible.

From the time Fang Zhiqiang first met her, she was a simple and kind-hearted girl. Even after getting married, she has changed a lot, but after all, her nature cannot be changed.

So in front of her, Fang Zhiqiang only had the impulse and desire to take care of her, but let himself act coquettishly in front of her?

Fang Zhiqiang couldn't even imagine that scene.

Thirty-two-year-old Fang Zhiqiang knows that he is already a man who is about to enter middle age, but how many men of his age are still just children in the eyes of their parents?

They may be powerful figures outside, they may be upright men, but as soon as they come home, they are still the children who will never grow up.

Maybe, after a man's sadness and grievances during a day outside, when he comes home and confides in his parents, he feels their parents' warm comfort, and maybe everything will be fine.

But for Fang Zhiqiang now, these are all extravagant hopes.

"Uncle and aunt, there's something I want to tell you." Just when the table suddenly fell silent, Wang Xia spoke hesitantly and said this.

"What's wrong?" Li Yonggui looked at her first and asked.

"This year has come to an end, and there is nothing to do here. Otherwise, I will go back after dinner later, right?" Wang Xia said to the two old people in a negotiating tone.

Because she knows that for the two old people, they definitely want someone to be with them. Although Li Xiaoxiao is back now, when Fang Zhiqiang is not at home, the house will inevitably feel a little empty.

Therefore, Wang Xia actually knew that they did not want her to leave.

But for Wang Xia, staying here is indeed a kind of torture for her. She sees all kinds of trivial things every day, as well as the ups and downs that may happen in the relationship between Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao. For her, who is alone,

, in a sense, it is also speechless and cruel.

"Why? Isn't it nice to live here?" As expected, Xiao's mother asked.

"It's really good, but I can't live here forever. The house over there is still empty, and I'm used to being alone." Wang Xia continued.

"It's better not to go back. You live alone in such a big house with no one to talk to. And you have nothing to do now. You just stay here. If you have something on your mind, you can tell us. No.

Is it good?" Li Yonggui continued to say.

When Wang Xia heard what Li Yonggui said, she didn't know what else to say. She really didn't want to stay here, but when faced with Li Yonggui's words, she didn't know how to refuse.

"Okay, let's eat quickly!" Li Yonggui looked at Wang Xia's silence and said again immediately.

After finishing the meal, while Wang Xia was clearing away the dishes, Fang Zhiqiang stood up, said hello to everyone, and was about to turn around and leave.

It's just that Fang Zhiqiang didn't tell Li Xiaoxiao specifically, because he is not a person who likes acting. The two of them had a bad time last night, so today Fang Zhiqiang is indeed a little bit unable to let go in front of Li Xiaoxiao, at least let him

He really couldn't do it as if nothing had happened.

However, when Fang Zhiqiang was about to reach the door, Li Xiaoxiao stood up on his own initiative. Looking at Fang Zhiqiang's leaving figure, he immediately said with a smile: "Be careful on the road!"

"Okay!" Fang Zhiqiang then turned around, looked at Li Xiaoxiao's worried expression, said these two words with a smile, and then turned and left.

After walking out of the room, the smile on Fang Zhiqiang's face disappeared instantly, not because he was unhappy, but because he felt sorry for Li Xiaoxiao.

He knew very well that Li Xiaoxiao felt very uncomfortable now, but in front of his parents, he still pretended to be nonchalant. Fang Zhiqiang could understand that kind of mood very well. He didn't like to pretend, let alone Xiaoxiao.

This simple and kind-hearted woman?

It is precisely because of these that Fang Zhiqiang feels that Li Xiaoxiao must be very entangled and uncomfortable now, but he has no choice. These two days are the most critical moment for Mingda, and he must prepare everything properly.

Then try to win the battle!

After Fang Zhiqiang left, Li Xiaoxiao in the room was about to get up and enter the room to take care of Xiao Ai Li.

However, at this moment, Li Yonggui suddenly said: "Xiaoxiao, sit down."

Li Xiaoxiao turned to look at his father with a confused look on his face and asked, "What's wrong, Dad?"

"What's going on between you and Zhiqiang?" Li Yonggui asked straight to the point.

"What's going on? It's fine!" Li Xiaoxiao still insisted.

"Do you think we are all fools? Your mother has just reminded you that we have all been here before. Can you hide what is going on with us?" Li Yonggui continued to say in a serious tone.

At this point, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly fell silent. She knew that what her father said was right. If they didn't see something, they wouldn't question her like this.
