Mahjong

Chapter 236

Chen Shen and Biantou didn't notice that Liu Erbao who was not far away just overheard their conversation.

After Chen Shen and Biantou finished talking, they walked into the inner hall, just in time to see that Liu Lanzhi had finished greeting the wives and was about to go upstairs with some gifts.He hurried forward to help and said, "Sister-in-law, let me help you."

Liu Lanzhi turned around and saw Chen Shen, and smiled happily, "Okay, you came here just as I wanted to catch a strong man, and you all help me take the study."

Chen Shen smiled at her, "Obey."

Bi Zhongliang and Secretary Sun were chatting on the sofa, and happened to see this scene, and an inexplicable uneasiness made him unable to sit still.He got up and said "excuse me" to Secretary Sun, then walked upstairs.

Chen Shen followed Liu Lanzhi into the study with a lot of presents in his arms.Liu Lanzhi instructed him to put the gift aside, and complained, "Oh, what a hassle! Originally, I told Zhongliang not to do it for the birthday party. It's too troublesome, and I owe a lot of favors. He insisted on doing it."

Chen Shen smiled at her, "Just be content, the wives playing mahjong downstairs don't know how much they envy you."

"Yes, everyone is envious of my good fortune. I have such a good husband and brother." Liu Lanzhi said, her eyes suddenly glanced at the picture of Niu Niu in the bookcase, and she suddenly became sad. Said, "Unfortunately, Niu Niu is gone..."

Following Liu Lanzhi's gaze, Chen Shen walked to the bookcase and saw Niuniu's photo in the cabinet.He couldn't help saying sadly: "If Niu Niu was here, she would be 12 years old this year, right?"

"Yeah, she'll be a slim girl soon." Liu Lanzhi choked up as she spoke, she turned her back a little sadly, looked out the window, and secretly wiped away tears.

At this moment, Bi Zhongliang walked to the door of the study.He didn't see Liu Lanzhi standing in the back of the study, but only saw Chen Shen standing in front of the bookcase, reaching out to grab Niuniu's photo.Seeing Chen Shen's actions, Bi Zhongliang was taken aback, and immediately shouted: "Chen Shen!"

Hearing the sound, Chen Shen was taken aback for a moment, and his hand reaching for Niu Niu's photo stopped in the air. He obviously heard something strange from Bi Zhongliang's shout.Liu Lanzhi also saw Bi Zhongliang, she was startled, "Zhongliang, why are you here?"

Only then did Bi Zhongliang see Liu Lanzhi.He immediately adjusted his tone, and said easily, "What are you talking about?" After he finished speaking, he noticed the tears on Liu Lanzhi's face, and looked at her suspiciously, "Why are you crying?"

Liu Lanzhi shook her head, "It's nothing."

Chen Shen noticed that although Bi Zhongliang was talking to Liu Lanzhi, his eyes were on Niuniu's photo.He said, "Sister-in-law is thinking of Niuniu again."

Bi Zhongliang stepped forward to comfort Liu Lanzhi, "Don't think too much, you are a birthday star, you should be happy on a day like today."

Liu Lanzhi nodded and forced a smile, "Yes, I know."

Bi Zhongliang dragged her out, and signaled to Chen Shen that the guests were almost here, so he could go down.

Chen Shen walked out, followed by Liu Lanzhi.Bi Zhongliang walked last, and he locked the study door behind him.

Chen Shen, who was walking in front, heard the sound of locking the door. He kept walking, but he always felt that there was something wrong in his heart.

The banquet was very lively.After the opening, everyone toasted to Liu Lanzhi, and Liu Lanzhi said to everyone with a smile on her face: "Thank you, thank you everyone. To be honest, when I first came to Shanghai with Zhongliang more than three years ago, I was panicked. Although I am from Shanghai, but my family has long since disappeared, and I am not familiar with the place when I come back. Thanks to my friends who have taken care of us so much, this Shanghai feels like a hometown.”

Mrs. Li looked at her with a smile, "Mrs. Bi, don't say that. You are a lady from Shanghai, and you don't dislike us country women at all, and you always take care of us!"

Liu Lanzhi smiled again, and she looked at Bi Zhongliang who was sitting beside her.She said: "Actually, what I want to thank the most today is my husband Zhongliang. Being able to marry him in this life is my greatest blessing."

Bi Zhongliang also smiled at her, "We'll talk about this kind of talk after the guests leave after we close the door."

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

After Liu Lanzhi finished laughing, she looked at Chen Shen again, and she said happily: "Also, I especially want to thank Chen Shen. If Chen Shen hadn't saved Zhongliang on the battlefield back then, my good days would have come to an end long ago .So every single day of the years, I feel like I've earned it."

Chen Shen also smiled and said: "This sentence can be said with an open door."

Everyone laughed again.After everyone finished laughing, Bi Zhongliang stood up suddenly, and he said seriously to Chen Shen: "Chen Shen, December 25, 18th year of the Republic of China, the day you braved the gunfire and recited me from the dead , I will always remember. Whether this sentence opens or closes the door, I have to say it.”

Chen Shen raised the Kvass bottle with a smile, touched Liu Lanzhi's and Bi Zhongliang's wine glasses, and said, "There is no need to say more, just give more chances to win money when gambling."

"Lanzhi, look, this little red guy is planning to live on his laurels until he grows old." Bi Zhongliang smiled and looked at Liu Lanzhi who was beside him.

Liu Lanzhi smiled, "It's not enough to eat it all the time, but it's fine to eat it until you beg your wife."

Chen Shen pretended to be unhappy, and said quietly: "I understand why you have been urging me to find a wife all day long. It turns out that you love money."

Everyone laughed again, and the atmosphere was cheerful.

No one noticed that Chen Shen glanced at the clock on the wall, the time was already seven fifty in the evening.
