Both money and sex

Liu Chao threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, "Come on, let's go to Uncle Liu's house, your Aunt Xiong has prepared a lot of delicious food today."

"Forget it today, Uncle Liu, I want to stay at home again." Luo Ping is not interested in anything now, and just wants to stay at home quietly by himself.

Liu Chao knows that his mood is not stable now, after all, no one will get over the sadness soon after 15 years of separation.But the more Luo Ping was like this, the more he wanted to lead him out of the sadness as soon as possible.

"Don't be bored at home. The past is over. As you said, you must find your father as soon as possible. In fact, I also believe that he is still alive. Maybe he can't come back to see us for some reason."

Liu Chao's words gave Luo Pingmo a lot of motivation, and when he looked up, his eyes were shining brightly.

"I still have some old photos at home, you will definitely be interested."

Hearing this, Luo Ping couldn't sit still anymore, and left the coffee shop with Liu Chao.

Liu Chao's car was a brand-new compass, and he drove steadily along the way, slowly telling Luo Ping some past events related to his parents.

Luo Ping listened silently, and occasionally asked questions, and the image of a young and promising father and a gentle and virtuous mother in his mind gradually became full and three-dimensional.

Not long after, the guide turned into a new community that seemed to have just been built.Liu Chao parked the car and led Luo Ping upstairs.

Contrary to Luo Ping's expectations, Liu Chao's house is very large, estimated to be [-] to [-] square meters.The price of goods in the capital is high, and the house price is especially frighteningly high. The market price of such a house is at least several million.

"Uncle Liu, your house is so big!" Luo Ping said in surprise.

Liu Chao took a pair of slippers from the shoe rack and handed them to Luo Ping, and said with a smile, "Your Aunt Xiong was laid off more than ten years ago and started a cosmetics company with others. I didn't expect it to grow bigger and bigger, and now it's listed on the market." .This house, and the car just now are all in her favor, and with my salary, I guess there is no hope in this life."

Luo Ping changed into his slippers and walked into this spacious and bright room.

The living room is very large, estimated to be seventy or eighty square meters, with the dining room on the north side, the living room on the south side, and balconies on both sides.The huge floor-to-ceiling glass allows the light to shine in without hindrance, making it look very bright.

The decoration in the room is also very exquisite, the floor is paved with huge ruddy white tiles, and there is a large orange leather sofa that looks very high-end in the living room, presumably it is very comfortable for people to sit on it.

There are many green potted plants in the house, and the placement of various objects is also patchwork, giving people a particularly comfortable feeling.

Looking at the furnishings in this home, Luo Ping remembered the situation in his own home, and the bridge of his nose became slightly acidic.

"If Mom and Dad were still there, the house would definitely not be worse than this, and it would even be more beautiful."

"Come on, sit down first."

Liu Chao arranged for Luo Ping to sit down on the sofa, and then walked into the kitchen next to the dining room. After a while, a middle-aged woman in an apron walked out of the kitchen quickly with a smile.

Luo Ping quickly stood up, guessing in his heart that this should be Liu Chao's wife.

"Luo Ping, this is your Aunt Xiong. She is very happy to know that you are coming today and has prepared a lot of delicious food." Liu Chao said after her with a smile.

Luo Ping hurriedly shouted, "Aunt Xiong, hello."

"Good good."

Xiong Xiaozhen sat down on the sofa next to Luo Ping, grabbed his hand and looked at him carefully, with tears in her eyes, she kept nodding and said, "Like, it's really too similar."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to wipe away her tears, and said with a sob, "son, I have heard everything about you from Uncle Liu. You have suffered all these years."

As she spoke, her tears could not be stopped, rolling down like pearls with a broken string.

Luo Ping is emotionally unstable now, and seeing her look makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

Liu Qi took two pieces of paper from the tissue box and handed them to his wife, "Don't cry, no matter what, Luo Ping is finally back. This is a good thing, I should be happier."

Xiong Xiaozhen took the tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes, then nodded and said, "Yes, you should be happy, you should be happy."

After speaking, she continued to look at Luo Ping carefully.

"The eyes are like your father's, and the nose is almost the same as your mother's, but you look the same as when you were a child, and you are still so handsome."

Luo Ping was embarrassed by her, his old face was slightly red, and suddenly he sniffed hard twice, and asked in surprise, "Why does it have a smell?"

"Ah!" Xiong Xiaozhen exclaimed, and quickly ran into the kitchen, only to hear a ping-pong-pong sound coming from inside, and a strong burnt smell continuously wafting out from inside.

Luo Ping looked at the kitchen in surprise, while Liu Chao said awkwardly, "Your Aunt Xiong has been busy with work these past few years, so she seldom goes to the kitchen, and the nanny she hired asked her to go back for vacation. Don’t mind you too much.”

Luo Ping shook his head with a smile, and asked a little strangely, "Uncle Liu, are you and Aunt Xiong alone at home?"

"Lulu went out early in the morning, but she should be back later. By the way, do you still remember Lulu?"

The Lulu Liu Chao mentioned was his and Xiong Xiaozhen's precious daughter, named Liu Lulu, who was in her third year of high school this year.

"I don't remember, I only remember a small part of what happened before I was five years old."

"Hehe, that girl Lulu always liked to play with you when she was young. After you disappeared, she cried several times, saying she wanted to find brother Ping to play with."

After speaking, Liu Chao went to the study and took out a few photo albums.

<The pretty girl is waving her hands, looking very beautiful in a short pink skirt.

The other slightly yellowed old photos show a four or five-year-old boy holding a three-year-old girl by the hand, both holding a bunch of candied haws in their hands, smiling happily.

Looking at these old photos, Luo Ping vaguely remembered some fragments, but they were not very clear. It seemed that there was a little girl who always liked to follow behind him.

He flipped through the photo album casually, and several photos of him and his parents appeared one after another.

Looking at the warm family of three in the photo, Luo Ping fell silent, and his heart was filled with sadness again.

Liu Chao patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be sad, I believe you will be able to find your father."

Luo Ping nodded, and was about to speak, when the sound of someone opening the door with a key came from the anti-theft door.Immediately afterwards, a beautiful little girl in a floral skirt walked in with a smile.

Liu Chao happily shouted to her, "Lulu, come quickly, look, who is here."

The little girl came over and looked at Luo Ping with her big talking eyes blinking. Her fair face was slightly flushed, and she grinned, revealing her white and neat teeth.

"You should be Brother Luo Ping?"

The little girl's voice was very clear and sweet, and coupled with her beautiful appearance, Luo Ping immediately had a good impression of her.

He stood up and said with a smile, "Yes, I am Luo Ping."

Liu Lulu walked up to him and looked him up and down, "Oh, why have you grown so tall, you are not at all the same as you in the photo."

"Silly girl, your Brother Luo Ping is about to become an adult, of course he can't be like the one in the photo." Xiong Xiaozhen came out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes, just in time to hear Liu Lulu's words, and immediately laughed.

"But he is only two years older than me, why is he so much taller than me? Mom, it must be because your genes are not good, and you have inherited all your shortcomings to me." Liu Lulu pouted, looking unhappy.

When Luo Ping stood up, he realized that Liu Lulu was really short, only about 1.6 meters tall. Standing with him, the top of his head could not reach his chin.

Liu Chao's stature is not bad, about 1.7 meters. Xiong Xiaozhen is also as small as Liu Lulu, but Luo Ping didn't pay attention to it just now, and now he looks carefully and finds that the mother and daughter are very similar in many ways.

Xiong Xiaozhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly greeted Luo Ping and Liu Chao to eat.

Sure enough, as Liu Chao said, there are quite a lot of dishes prepared on the table today, a large table was filled with a dozen dishes.

However, the taste of the food is just like what Liu Chao said, it's really not that good.

"Xiao Luo, you look thin, eat more!" Xiong Xiaozhen enthusiastically put vegetables into Luo Ping's bowl.

Sitting on the other side, Liu Chao and Liu Lulu father and daughter looked at each other and laughed together.

"What are you laughing at, eat quickly, the food will not taste good when it gets cold."

Xiong Xiaozhen saw that there were enough dishes in Luo Ping's bowl, and she was going to pick up some food for her precious daughter, but Liu Lulu smiled and picked up the bowl and put it beside her, "I'm losing weight, so don't pick it up for me."

"What do seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls lose weight? Eat more to grow your body, you know?"

"Know it!"

Liu Lulu was holding a bowl and eating the rice grain by grain. When she saw the vegetables piled up like a hill in Luo Ping's bowl, she couldn't help laughing. Finally, she couldn't help it anymore, and she lay on the table and covered her mouth and laughed. Stop, the thin shoulders shrugged and endured very hard.

Xiong Xiaozhen stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder lightly, and cursed with a smile, "I can do anything wrong."

But after she took a sip of the dish, her face froze immediately, her expression fluctuating.

Luo Ping smiled and started to eat with big mouthfuls.For him, although the taste of Xiong Xiaozhen's stir-fried dishes was a bit inferior, compared with those he had eaten before, they were no less than delicacies from mountains and seas.

Although life has improved somewhat in the past two years, he and Xu Ting, including Lao Cao, have always maintained a good habit of thrift and thrift, neither wasting food nor despising the taste of food.

Not long after, Luo Ping cleaned up the mountain of food in the bowl, and then went to fill another bowl of rice under Liu Lulu's surprised eyes.

"Brother Luo Ping, are the dishes my mother cooks delicious?"

Luo Ping nodded with a smile, "Aunt Xiong's cooking is delicious, and it suits my taste."

After finishing speaking, he continued to whirlwind, and quickly wiped out the bowl of white rice under the surprised eyes of several people.

Liu Chao and Xiong Xiaozhen looked at each other, thinking that Luo Ping was doing this because of his poor daily life, and the two looked at Luo Ping with pity.
