In recent days, a publishing house has contacted Xiangcheng and said that it wants to sign a contract with her to compile a collection of poems, prose and essays that she has published before. This is undoubtedly good news, and it can be regarded as the best news for so many years.
To sum up, Xiangcheng has been in contact with this matter these days.
Since the negotiation went smoothly, Xiangcheng was in a good mood. As long as it could be published, it would mean that she would have money in her pocket again. She needed to reserve enough education funds for her children.
"Mom, you seem to be in a good mood." When Xiangjue entered the house carrying a big paper bag, he saw Xiangjue humming a song and making lunch.
"Baby is back?" Xiangcheng hurriedly came out and saw Xiangju twisting her fat waist and struggling to put a bag of things on the table. She couldn't help but look at it strangely, "Have you been to the supermarket? Where did it come from?
Money?" It's the end of the month now, and this girl won't be able to save her pocket money until now.
"They bribed me." Xiangjue took off the schoolbag from his back and put it on the sofa, then came over and took out a bag of chocolates, "Mom, do you want some?"
At this moment, the door opened, and Xiangjiang and Xiangshan walked in one after another. When they saw Xiangju, they both sighed silently.
Xiangcheng immediately understood when he saw this posture. Orange was exchanging his two younger brothers for something again. This kind of thing happened once or twice. Almost all the little girls in the school were fans of those two boys, and
Xiangjue's brain seems to be very good at this. She immediately discovered the business opportunity and promised that as long as anyone bribed her, she would let them have close contact with her brothers, including walking together to and from school, playing together during class, etc.
of.
"Juzi, who did you sell your brothers to this time?" Xiangcheng opened the bag and took out a pack of beef jerky.
"It's Xia Xue from our class, and Sang Yueyue from the next class..." Xiangju said it quite naturally, and didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all.
"Is it beautiful?" Xiangcheng couldn't help but smile, "If it's not beautiful, we don't want it."
"Xia Xue is the most beautiful girl in our school, and Sang Yueyue is the most beautiful in their class..." Xiangjue's eyes suddenly widened, "Mom, don't worry about my eyesight..."
"That's okay." Xiangcheng couldn't help but nodded.
"Mom, why do you always accompany her to fool around?" Xiangshan couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"This is called rational use of resources." Xiang Cheng raised his eyebrows, then shook the beef jerky in his hand, "Next time, remember to ask for spicy..."
Xiangjiang didn't dare to be surprised at all. He had already washed his hands and changed his clothes, then went into the kitchen and brought out the food cooked by Xiangcheng.
After lunch, Xiangcheng went back to his room to continue revising the manuscript, Xiangjiang went back to his room to take a nap, while Xiangjiang and Xiangshan turned on their computers. The two of them always divided work and collaborated, and this time was no exception.
Just then, the phone rang.
"Who?" Xiangcheng tilted her head while typing and clamped the phone on her shoulder.
"Orange." Zhou Bowen couldn't help but smile lightly. This girl still didn't have the habit of looking at the caller ID when she answered the phone.
"Senior?" Xiangcheng stopped typing and picked up the phone. To be honest, after the last chance encounter, Zhou Bowen had strongly intervened in her life. However, she did not dare to accept it too quickly. After all, everyone
She is not from the same world, so she has too many worries, "Do you have a problem with me?"
"If nothing happens, can't I come to you?" Zhou Bowen's tone seemed to have a sour feeling.
"No, senior, I didn't mean that..." Xiangcheng was a little anxious when she heard this. She had always felt very kind and warm to this senior, but she didn't have the courage before, but then she missed it. But now,
As a single mother, she was even less qualified to think about it.
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, let's come out and have tea together." Zhou Bowen's voice was very gentle, like the breeze in March, which made people feel comfortable all over.
"Okay." Xiangcheng nodded immediately, but she regretted it as soon as she agreed. The babies were still at home, how could she leave them alone?
"Then I'll pick you up in ten minutes." Zhou Bowen hung up the phone before Xiang Cheng could say anything else.
"I can't go..." Xiangcheng muttered sadly into the phone. It seemed that the senior's trip might have been in vain.
"Mom, do you have a date?" At this moment, Xiangjiang stuck his little head in with a mocking look on his face.
"Xiaojiang." Xiangcheng looked at her son and couldn't help but curl her lips, "It was the senior who asked my mother to have tea, but he hung up the phone before I had a chance to refuse."
"Why refuse?" Xiangjiang walked in, "You should go on a date." After saying that, he opened the closet and said, "Stop pretending to be ugly, my mother is the most beautiful woman."
"Yes, Mom." Xiangshan also walked in, "Mom, you really need to make an appointment now. The senior uncle is good-looking, a good person, and has good abilities. You can consider it."
"Uh." Xiangcheng is a bit petrified. Are these sons a bit too precocious?
At this time, Xiangjie, who got up to go to the toilet, rubbed his eyes and came over: "What are you doing?"
"Mom is going on a date with a handsome guy." Xiangshan said with a wink and a smile.
"Handsome guy?" Xiangjue's eyes immediately widened upon hearing this, "Who is he? Do I know him? Can you take me with you?"
"Go to bed quickly." Xiangshan pushed Xiangjue's head out, "Mom is on a date with Uncle Zhou."
"Really?" Xiangjue started to wonder as soon as he heard this, "Mom, go quickly. It's best to come back later. No, it's best not to come back at night..."
Orange has a black line on one end, where are these?
"I have no objection at all to letting him be our father..." Xiangju continued to express his opinion. He had eaten a lot of his cakes recently, so he had to do something for others.
"Okay, mom, let's change clothes quickly." Xiangjiang picked up Xiangjie and turned around to leave. "Otherwise, it will be too late."
Xiangcheng looked at the clothes her son had matched with her, and she felt a little lost. It seemed that she hadn't worn fashionable clothes for a long time. However, since her sons had said so, she would just do it, white waisted trousers.
, a suspender top of the same color, with a pink-blue short-sleeved cardigan on the outside, which perfectly accentuated her slender figure.
"You brat has pretty good taste." Xiangcheng turned around in front of the mirror and tied her long hair into a ponytail. She suddenly felt ten years younger.
At this moment, the phone rang and it was Zhou Bowen who had arrived.
"Mom, have fun." Xiangjiang thoughtfully sent her backpack, "We will take care of my sister."
Xiangcheng nodded, but before going out, she still put on the big black-rimmed eyes. She didn't want to show her true face so soon.
"Hey." Xiangju looked at her mother's superfluous big glasses and couldn't help but shook her head, "It's really embarrassing for me..."
Pinge Tea Bar has an antique flavor and a quiet environment. When Xiangcheng followed Zhou Bowen into the room, a tea art lady wearing a classic cheongsam greeted them, and then introduced them into the private room that had been booked long ago.
"Senior, since when did you like drinking tea?" Xiangcheng looked at the simple and elegantly decorated room, and heard the melodious sound of silk and bamboo in his ears. He couldn't help but smile, "I remember that you liked coffee the most in the past."
"Tea ceremony is broad and profound, and it is the best way to cultivate one's mind and body." Zhou Bowen was as gentle as ever, "Over the years, whenever I have something to worry about, I would come over and sit for a while. The aroma of tea often calms people's minds and broadens their minds...
"
Xiangcheng nodded. She also liked the ancient tea culture, which was connotative and good for health.
At this time, the tea art lady had already brought the tea and various refreshments. Zhou Bowen waved his hand and the lady withdrew, and he personally picked up the tea set, took the tea, washed the tea, and made the tea in one go.
"Did you know? There are many things to pay attention to when making tea. Different tea sets, water and brewing methods will all affect the taste of the tea soup..." Zhou Bowen said slowly while pouring the tea, "I generally don't drink the tea soup for the first time.
It is for washing tea. Generally, the tea soup is poured into the teapot, the pot is warmed and the cup is heated...The second brew is the essence..."
Xiangcheng picked up the scent cup, turned it over like Zhou Bowen did, then picked it up and put it under her nose. Suddenly, a faint aroma filled her nostrils.
"Chengzi, it's been seven years." Zhou Bowen gently put down the teacup, then raised his eyes to look at Xiangcheng, "I don't want to miss it anymore."
Xiang Cheng was slightly startled.
"Do you know? I have always liked you." The light in Zhou Bowen's eyes was a little hot, "But I missed it for seven years..." He said, holding Xiang Cheng's hand, "Cheng Zi, before
Let the matter be over and let me take care of you, okay?" As he said that, a red rose appeared from nowhere.
"This..." Xiangcheng suddenly felt that her mind went blank. She mechanically took the rose, but what she was thinking about was that her senior confessed to her. This made her unable to react for a moment. Once, she had dreamed
A scene that had happened many times before appeared at this time, but there was no surprise as expected. Instead, she was at a loss because she was no longer the simple girl in school, but a girl with three talents.
The single mother of two children, thinking of this, bit her lip and gently pulled out her hand.
"Orange..." Zhou Bowen's heart sank slightly.
"Senior, thank you, thank you for your confession, it makes me feel very warm. I once imagined such a scene, but...it's just that things are different now. You should have a better girl standing by your side.
Not a single mother like me." Having said this, Xiangcheng hurriedly put the flowers on the table, then stood up in a panic to leave.
