Recently, Qin Zun suddenly said that he had to work overtime and would not come back for dinner in the evening. After work, Tonghua made a simple fried rice. After eating alone, he went to the balcony upstairs and started watering the flowers and trees.

During the days when she moved, it was obvious that Qin Zun had taken good care of her flowers. Now Qin Zun's knowledge of flowers and trees is almost as good as that of fairy tales.

Just then, the cell phone suddenly rang.

It was her father's phone number, but the caller was Zhang Guiying. When Tonghua heard the voice, she immediately frowned, but she still picked up the phone.

Tonghua said politely, "Aunt Zhang, what can I do for you?"

Although Zhang Guiying also had her phone number, she probably knew that she was not liked by Tonghua. Every time she wanted to find Tonghua for something, she would basically call her using her father's phone.

Zhang Guiying's voice came from the other end of the line: "Tonghua, I'm calling this time because of your dad. Your dad hasn't been out for many days. I want you to come over and persuade him."

Tonghua asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with Dad not going out? Is he sick?"

Zhang Guiying slapped her mouth and said, "I blame you for not explaining it clearly. Not only does your dad not go to work or go out, he's also drunk all day at home. You didn't even know..."

Fairy Tale felt unbelievable "Really? Why?"

Although her father didn't have much ability, he had been working alone and supporting their family of four for so many years without any complaints.

But now his father suddenly stopped going to work and drank all day long, which shocked Tonghua.

Zhang Guiying stammered, "Well, I can't explain it clearly over the phone right now. When you come over, you'll know why."

Tonghua's mind was full of questions. What did it mean that the explanation was unclear? And why did she have to go home?

Fairy Tale guessed: "Is it about me?"

Zhang Guiying hummed reluctantly as a response.

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Tonghua changed her clothes and went out.

She took a taxi to the gate of the community where Tong's family lived. After she got off the car, she saw the residents of the community within a few steps.

Tonghua greeted them as usual, but after she greeted them, the other party glanced at her with an ambiguous look.

Tonghua only felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it. But when she entered the community, every resident she met looked at her with an inexplicable look, which made Tonghua feel uncomfortable all over.

When they were almost at the downstairs of the apartment building where the Tong family lived, Tonghua met Aunt Li, a neighbor who was quite familiar with their family.

She nodded to the other party as a greeting, and Aunt Li looked at her with a sad and regretful look, as if something bad had happened to Tonghua, and Tonghua felt even more confused.

What happened today? Why did she feel that everyone who met her treated her differently?

"Aunt Li, what are you doing..."

Tonghua looked at the other person in confusion. Aunt Li couldn't help but pull her hand, patted her shoulder and sighed: "Alas, what a miserable child! You must be strong!"

Tonghua was now completely confused. She pointed at her head and said, "Aunt? Are you talking about me?!"

A miserable life?! Strong?! What happened out of the blue?

Aunt Li patted Tonghua's hand warmly and said earnestly, "Although something like that happened, at least you saved your life. You know, some people have bad luck and even lose their lives. So no matter what happens in the future, you must live a strong life."

After saying these two nonsensical words, Aunt Li left. Before she left, she did not forget to sigh.

? !

What is going on?

First, her stepmother Zhang Guiying spoke in a dazed voice on the phone and asked her to come back first. Now when she arrived in the community, it seemed that everyone treated her like this, especially Aunt Li.

After Tonghua entered the room, she asked Zhang Guiying, "What on earth do you want me to come back for?"

Zhang Guiying tilted her head towards the living room and said, "Well, go there and take a look yourself and you'll know."

Tonghua walked into the living room and saw her father Tong Chengsheng closing his eyes and pouring white wine into his mouth.

After seeing this, Tonghua immediately stepped forward and snatched the bottle of wine from the other person's hand.

Tong Chengsheng used to drink heavily, and Tonghua tried to stop him, but her father said that drinking was his only hobby, and asked Tonghua to stop interfering in him. Tonghua saw that she couldn't persuade him, and although Tong Chengsheng drank heavily, he never let it interfere with his work, and he didn't drink while working.

The fairy tale just let him go.

But now Tonghua looked at the room full of wine bottles. There were several bottles lying on the coffee table, on the floor, and even on the sofa.

Tonghua knew that he must have been drinking for a long time, and if he drank any more, he would have to go to the hospital.

"Dad! What are you doing?"

Tong Chengsheng drunkenly waved Tong Hua away: "Leave me alone! Let me drink! Let me die of drunkenness!"

Tonghua squatted down and said, "Dad, it's me! Tonghua! What happened to you? Why did you suddenly become drunk and even skip work?"

Hearing the word "fairy tale", Tong Chengsheng seemed to sober up a little. He said with a dazed look in his eyes, "Fairy tale?! My daughter?! Fairy tale..."

Seeing that the other party was now unable to communicate, Tonghua went to the bathroom, wrung out a wet towel, and helped Tong Chengsheng wake up.

The sudden chill on his face made Tong Chengsheng shiver, and his mind finally cleared up.

He raised his head and looked at his daughter standing in front of him, then looked around, as if he didn't understand why his daughter suddenly came home?
