Chapter 27:

In mid-December, the first snow of the year fell in N City, which was sleet to be precise.
After self-study that night, Li Wei accompanied Zhang Man to a strange community near her home. Zhang Man confirmed the address against the house number on the paper, and then looked up at the teenager beside him.
He nodded with encouragement, and she had courage in her heart.
She raised her hand and rang the doorbell on the security door.
Soon, a man’s loud voice rang: "Who?"
He opened the door, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and saw two students in school uniforms at the door, and he was taken aback: "...Manman?"
The man wore silk long-sleeved pajamas. He was tall and looked sturdy. He straightened his flat head and his face was tough, even because of a scar on his forehead, his face looked a bit fierce.
It's far less impressive than Zheng Zhi's gentle and polite appearance.
Zhang Man said hello politely: "Hello Uncle Xu."
A trace of doubt appeared in the man's eyes, but he smiled and asked them to sit in.
Zhang Man took Li Wei and sat down on the sofa in the living room, while Xu Shang went to pour them tea.
Xu Shang didn't expect Zhang Man to come to him at all. He remembered that the relationship between the little girl and her mother was very ordinary, and she had ignored him before. But he hadn't seen her for months, and he almost didn't recognize her. The little girl seemed to be a lot more mature than before.
There is also the boy next to her. Both of them are not his age combined, but he does not dare to neglect at all now.
Xu Shang poured two cups of juice for the two of them and a cup of tea for himself.
He drank his mouth water to moisturize his throat: "Manman, is there anything you came to see me so late today?"
Zhang Man sat upright, with his back straight, straight to the point: "Uncle Xu, I came here today to ask you, do you still like my mother?"
Xu Shanggang's sip of tea almost didn't come out, choking and coughing for a long time.
What's this? I have only heard of mother-in-law seeing her son-in-law, and never heard of a daughter coming to see her mother's boyfriend.
Besides, he is still an ex-boyfriend.
Xu Shang didn't know what she asked for, but she nodded honestly when she looked at the little girl seriously.
After breaking up with Zhang Huifang during this period of time, he was arranged by his family to go on blind dates several times, but none of them were heart-warming. In other words, he has always been obsessed with Zhang Huifang, but he also knows that he is no longer interested in him.
The little girl nodded her head, her tight face relaxed a lot, and her eyes became kind.
Old Xu Shang blushed and coughed covertly, "What are you asking about?"
Zhang Man also took a sip of the juice: "Uncle Xu, what did my mom say when she broke up with you?"
Xu Shang felt even more embarrassed when she heard her asking, how did you say such private words in front of a little girl? Besides, this little girl is still the daughter of his ex-girlfriend... Xu Shang feels a little headache.
Unexpectedly, the little girl seemed to see his embarrassment and said softly, "It's okay, Uncle Xu, just say it, I won't tell my mother."
Xu Shang hesitated for a while, suddenly feeling a little down, and answered honestly: "Ahem... and nothing said, your mother said that I think my personality is too honest and dull, and it's boring to be with me."
He lowered his head awkwardly as he said, and he felt sad about how he lifted it up with a child.
Zhang Huifang really was the white moonlight in their alleys for many years. He had a crush on her for many years and he didn't dare to confess. But he always knew that she didn't look down on him. When they were together, she also joked that she would marry him, but later she didn't think he was too bored.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Man and Li Wei looked at each other.
Sure enough, Zhang Huifang lied to Xu Shang.
With her temperament, after knowing that Xu Shang was definitely going to have a baby, she would rather find a specific reason to dump him than to let him dump himself.
"Uncle, my mother doesn't know when I came this time, I want to tell you something and ask what you think."
Xu Shang swallowed, listening to her solemn tone, he felt a little nervous.
Zhang Man began to explain: "My mother lied, she actually likes you, but she knows that if you marry her, you will definitely want to have another child, but my mother does not want to have another child for me, so... …"
Listening to her, Xu Shang opened his eyes slightly in shock, and his hands trembled with nervousness. He really didn't expect Zhang Huifang to want him. This was the reason.
He didn't want to lose face in front of the child, so he held his left hand with his right hand.
He remembered that Zhang Huifang seemed to have mentioned this topic. At that time, his family was rushed, and to be honest, he was almost 40, and he must have wanted to have his own child while he was still young. So at that time he said without hesitation: "Birth, you must be born. It is best to hold two in three years, one misses you and the other looks like me.
Indeed, when he said this, he didn't think about Zhang Man too much, but asked himself, even if he had his own child, he would not neglect Zhang Man. After all, it is her child.
It seems that after that conversation, Zhang Huifang broke up with him not long after.
"Manman, then I..."
Xu Shang struggled a bit.
When he knew that this was the reason, he was actually very excited. It turned out that she didn't like him. He wanted to immediately declare that he could no longer have children, but he also thought of the old mother in the family. At such an age, he still looked forward to holding his grandson.
Zhang Man was very satisfied with the way he was thinking seriously.
He didn’t immediately change his words and said that he didn’t want children because he was honest and cautious and was responsible for what he said. So she chuckled softly, "Uncle Xu, I didn’t mean that. I mean, I want you to go again. Pursue my mother. If you can give me a lovely brother or sister in the future, I will be very happy."
She saw the man’s eyes suddenly lifted up with surprise, so she added another sentence: "Uncle Xu, I know that you have been very good to my mother, and I want her to live happily in the future. As for her Thought work, I will do it."
Xu Shang was a little dazed by what she said.
But after a while, he couldn't stop ecstatic in his heart. The little girl in front of him was an angel sent from heaven. How could he be so cute?
He wanted to pretend to be a little deeper, but he couldn't hold back his smile, his eyes were creases: "Manman, you are such a good boy, and your Uncle Xu will definitely not let down your hopes."
At this age, he will no longer be dazzled by joy like a hairy boy, but Xu Shang still feels that today is the most emotional day in this period of time.
When the person was sent away respectfully, Xu Shang walked back and forth a few times in the room, rubbing his hands, then smiled and patted his forehead.
Yes, it was really seen.

From Xu Shang's house, the snow fell even more. The snow began to fall yesterday morning, and it has never stopped. During the daytime, the street community organized a lot of people to clear the road. It was just night when it was covered by heavy snow.
The two walked on the road one after the other, Li Wei walked in front, and he stepped on the snow. Zhang Man's shoe soles were thin, so he didn't want to get wet, so he stepped on his footsteps.
This silence, after a few months, has become very natural between the two.
In fact, when it snows, it’s not so cold. Zhang Man watched him walking in front, and her heart was even more warm. She thought about today’s affairs and felt that she must change Zhang Huifang’s life trajectory and not let her be like her in her previous life. Die alone.
After hearing Zhang Huifang's call, she knew that Zhang Huifang really liked him, so she inquired about the address of Uncle Xu's home.
In fact, this is also a helpless move. With Zhang Huifang's face-saving temperament, if it were not for Xu Shang's initiative, she would definitely not look back.
Zhang Man had a good impression of Xu Shang, but just to be on the safe side, he went to his 4S store to inquire about his character.
To her great satisfaction, she received a consistent positive response. Everyone said that this person was honest, capable, responsible and reliable.
Zhang Man asked about his previous marriage history and heard that it was a blind date. Within two years, his wife died in a car accident. He was busy with his business and had no time to fall in love, so he was single, so his private life was also very clean.
During this period of time, I was not only busy doing contest questions, but also busy inquiring around, but I couldn't let Zhang Huifang know. Even Chen Feier complained that the mother and daughter absolutely had the wrong child, but she was like an old mother who broke her heart.
The two of them were speechless all the way to the downstairs of Zhang Man's house. The young man in front suddenly stopped. Zhang Man was thinking that he didn't pay attention, and he fell on his back.
She screamed in pain, clutching her nose, tears rolling in her eyes.
The boy turned around and looked at her tearful eyes, and his gaze stayed on her ears that were flushed with cold.
When she was in school, she used to tie her hair into a high ponytail, her palm-sized face was covered by bangs, only half of it was left, and her ears were well-grown, her ears were small and round, and her earlobes were thick, making her look very cute.
But now those ears are red from the cold, and her skin is white, so red is very conspicuous, which looks a bit distressing.
The boy's gaze paused, then looked at her eyes again: "Does it hurt? You have to look at the road when you walk."
Zhang Man just recovered from the numbness of the bridge of his nose. He was still not very clear, and he muttered a little dissatisfied: "...Who told you to stop without saying a word."
"Well, blame me."
There was a warm smile on the corner of the boy's mouth. He did not refute. Looking at her, under the street lamp, her shadow was much smaller and thinner than his.
He suddenly remembered the feeling of being hugged by Rouyun the last time he held her in the bar.
The tingling feeling in my heart struck again.
Before meeting her, he always thought that he was an absolutely sensible person, and his mind could absolutely control his behavior.
But not now. The body has self-action before the brain clearly reacts.
He darkened his eyes, stepped forward, put his hands on the girl's shoulders, and was about to exert a little force...
"Zhang Man, the dead girl came back so late and didn't make a call? This is... your classmate?"
The sound of "Da Da" of high heels landing and a dangerous tone sounded in the corridor.
