Grandma probably meant to say Liang Sheng, but she mistakenly said it was Liu Nanhao. I paused for a second. In fact, I don’t really like to use my identity to ask Liang Sheng for anything. After all, he is a very strict person who distinguishes between public and private matters. However, my grandma’s face was full of expectations. I couldn’t bear to refuse, so I could only nod: “I’ll follow you later.” Boss, let’s talk about it.”
"Yes." Grandma responded and walked to the living room. "Xiaoduo, come here." She waved.
Jiang Duo turned his attention from the spring evening and glanced at his uncle. After his uncle nodded, he slowly walked towards this side, "Auntie."
My brother-in-law calls grandma aunt, so she also calls her that way.
Grandma smiled, took out another red envelope from her pocket, and handed it to her: "This is the first time you come to our house to celebrate the New Year this year. This is a lucky red envelope for you. It's not much, but it's a little bit of my heart."
Jiang Duo looked back at her uncle and accepted it with his permission, "Thank you, aunt."
This year's Spring Festival Gala was not good at all. It was like a song and dance party. After watching it for a while, I got very bored, so I went upstairs alone with my mobile phone.
I leaned on the rocking chair on the balcony and quietly looked at the stars in the sky. After hesitating several times, I called Liang Sheng.
"Hello." As soon as the call was connected, the sound of fireworks was heard over there, and there was a smile in Liang Sheng's voice.
"What are you doing? You don't know how to call me to say New Year greetings." I lowered my voice and spoke softly.
Liang Sheng smiled and said, "I was playing cards. Why, did you miss me?"
Even if I couldn't see him, I could still imagine his joking expression. I blushed and said duplicity: "No, I just came to ask for a red envelope and check the post."
I say it's a post check, but actually I've never had this habit. Even if Liang Sheng doesn't contact me all day long, I won't doubt what he is doing behind my back. I have always felt at ease with him and am willing to give him enough personal space.
"I gave you all my cards, isn't it enough?" Liang Sheng smiled slightly. He was talking about his supplementary credit card, which he kept in my wallet and I never used it.
"Of course not. I just want to celebrate the Chinese New Year by giving red envelopes. There's no way I can give you a card." I shook my chair quietly, and the stars in the sky seemed to twinkle with the shaking of my body.
"Okay, I'll give it to you after I finish it." Liang Sheng readily agreed.
I smiled and asked, "How about playing cards with Chu Jin and the others?"
"No, just follow my mother and the others."
"Your mother? Who else?" I really didn't mean to check, I was just curious and asked casually.
Liang Sheng replied: "My mother, Aunt Ping, Wei Lan."
"." I immediately fell silent, as if I had aphasia and didn't know how to speak.
Qiao Wan's voice came from over there, "Yanyan, happy New Year."
I had no choice but to respond with a smile: "Aunt Wan, Happy New Year."
"When will we return to Haicheng? Liang Sheng is thinking about you every day." Qiao Wan was talking and laughing, sometimes like an old naughty child. Those who didn't know better thought she was Chu Jin's mother, just like Chu Jin. A style.
"Probably on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
"It's still a week away, Wei Lan, it's time for you to play your cards, why are you so stunned?" Qiao Wan said this to me, and the next sentence suddenly came out, as if a hand suddenly grabbed my throat, and there was A feeling of being out of breath.
Liang Sheng turned off the speakerphone and could only hear his clear voice: "Are you back on the fifth day of the new year?"
I nodded, "Maybe." I wanted to say it depends on my mood, but my mood is not clear at all now.
"I'll pick you up then." He said.
"No, I'll drive back with my parents then." I refused without thinking, feeling depressed. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask: "Qilan, will I celebrate the New Year with you?"
Liang Sheng said 'hmm', "She has no relatives here, so my mother asked her to celebrate the New Year with us, and she also brought Aunt Ping over."
I paused for a few seconds and said, "Oh, I see, that's okay. I'm going to accompany my grandma. You guys can take your time and play."
After hanging up the phone, I leaned on the rocking chair blankly. My heart felt as heavy as a big stone, and I couldn't even breathe.
I used to think that Chen Shulei would be the biggest stumbling block in my relationship with Liang Sheng, but now Weilan has appeared. In comparison, Weilan scares me more than Chen Shulei. She can get a lot easily and I need a lot of courage. Something to strive for.
I don’t know if I’m being paranoid, but I always feel that Wei Lan suddenly appeared in Liang Sheng’s life before the end of the year, more or less with some other purpose. Maybe before returning to Haicheng, she had already planned to celebrate the New Year with Liang Sheng and her son.
When I was bored, I had no choice but to browse Weibo, which still contained some real estate information. From time to time, there would be a few financial comments. The language was sharp and the opinions were unique, which was a bit different from his usual self.
Soon, the system prompted a message. When I clicked on it, there were two short words, "Together."
"Are you celebrating the New Year with your family?" I sent it casually, but unexpectedly I received this sentence: "I have no family."
My fingers holding the phone trembled slightly. The screen was still on, but I didn’t know where my eyes were looking. After being stunned for a while, I replied: "Sorry, I didn't hear you say that."
"It's okay." This message popped up on the screen, followed by another: "My parents died when I was very young, so it's okay."
Suddenly my heart tightened and I quickly replied: "Then you celebrate the New Year by yourself?"
"Um."
I looked at the screen of my phone and really didn't know what to say.
I was in a daze when the banner showed that I had received a new message. I clicked on it and read, 'Your friend Liang Sheng has transferred 52013.14 yuan to you.' He actually sent me a red envelope.
Although Wei Lan's incident made me a little unhappy, I was quite relieved to know that he was thinking of me. I quickly replied: "Shouldn't the decimal point be moved back two places?"
Just a few seconds after sending the message, Liang Sheng came back: "I can't help it, I'm Yuan Sheng, a little bitch."
"Fuck you, your monthly salary is so much, why do you just pay me this little?" At this time, I felt like an ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend. The corners of my mouth could not help but rise, and my heart felt sweet.
Liang Sheng replied: "I have no salary."
"You're the boss."
"Are there any employees who ask for red envelopes from their boss?"
"." He won.
I paused and asked, "You haven't played cards anymore?"
Liang Sheng replied quickly, "It's boring not to fight. All the cash they had was lost to me."
".How much did you beat them?" I asked.
"I sent it all to you."
I covered my forehead. This man really used the money he won to give me red envelopes. I didn't accept it.
I poked at the screen and transferred all the money I received back.
Liang Sheng sent a message: "What are you doing?"
"I'll give it back to you. I don't want other people's money." In fact, I don't want Wei Lan's money.
"This is my money, theirs is cash, I put it on the coffee table." Liang Sheng's messages came one after another: "Forget it, when you come back, I will give you a big gift."
"What kind of gift?" I'm just so spineless.
Liang Sheng said: "I'll know when you come back. I'll see Aunt Ping off and talk to you when I get back." Plus a kissing expression.
I pursed my lips, my mood going up and down like a roller coaster. He poked Liang Sheng's profile picture hard with his fingers, as if venting his anger. After poking and poking, he opened He Feimo's dialog box.
He actually sent me several messages.
"I'm used to being alone."
"Are you celebrating the New Year at Liang Sheng's house?"
"Sorry, I'm just asking casually, I don't mean anything else."
"Ana Shen?"
I quickly poked words on the screen, "Sorry, I didn't look at my phone just now. I'm celebrating the New Year in Jiangcheng with my family."
He Feimo seemed to be waiting for my reply. As soon as I sent the message, he came back immediately: "I thought I disturbed you."
