19. Ordinary People's Dad 8 (End)

"What happened?" Lian Yusong met Cheng Ye with his arm in a sling as soon as he returned to school. He grabbed his other hand and asked with a frown.

Cheng Ye looked at his tightly tied arms and said helplessly: "You can see that I was injured. I met some gangsters on my way home from school on Saturday... That's it. However, it's not serious. It was just my dad who tied it up badly. It will be fine in a few days." It will not affect the college entrance examination.

Lian Yusong reached out to take Cheng Ye's schoolbag and replied, "...Yeah."

Cheng Ye looked at his expressionless face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it doesn't hurt that much."

Lian Yusong: "Among those thugs, is there one with a spiky haircut?"

Cheng Ye was a little surprised and said, "You know them?"

Lian Yusong's expression was unclear: "...Yeah, we meet often." They often fought, or rather, Lian Yusong just used them as sparring partners, usually holding back in a fight, but this time...

Cheng Ye nodded to indicate that he knew that Lian Yusong was a warmonger who liked to skip classes and go out to fight whenever he had the chance.

A few days later,

Have you heard? Those gang of thugs from Chaodong were busted! Just last night. I don't know who was the best, but I heard they were beaten to a pulp. When the police arrived, the thugs were lying on the ground, groaning in pain. The worst hit was the gang leader, who had a broken arm and a broken leg...

When I returned to the dormitory, I received another wave of concern from my roommates.

The summer is hot and the wind is dry.

Teacher Shen was devastated because his favorite student's hand was injured! God knows how stunned he was when he saw Cheng Ye's right hand tightly wrapped and hanging from his neck. It was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for him. Although Cheng Ye repeatedly emphasized that it would heal in a few days and not to worry, Teacher Shen was still extremely worried. He was worried every day that Cheng Ye's hand was not taken off.

Teacher's Office,

Teacher Shen: "Cheng Ye, what's going on?"

Cheng Ye: "I met some thugs on the way home on Saturday. I don't know why they picked on me." He had no idea who the boss's woman was. He had some vague guesses, but he had no evidence, so of course he couldn't just accuse others.

Teacher Shen's eyes widened, and his voice suddenly rose several degrees: "Thug?"

Cheng Ye nodded and said, "But don't worry too much, teacher. The police arrived just in time."

Teacher Shen: "No, no, this is too dangerous. If they

What if they come looking for you again? ... Well, I'll take you home this Saturday." Teacher Shen began to prepare for a rainy day.

Cheng Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "No, teacher. My dad will pick me up at the school gate on Saturday." He originally disagreed with his father's pick-up behavior. It was too embarrassing to be picked up from school to the store, which was only a dozen minutes away! But his father's unquestionable attitude made it impossible for him to refuse.

The mock exams have already ended. At this stage, the senior high school students are in a state of intense self-study. They work hard wherever they can to improve themselves. The teachers also pay attention to the students' states at all times. They cannot let them be too tense or relax. This delicate period can easily affect the students' preparations.

Li Chengye has also felt a bit nervous these days. Even his roommates in the dormitory have stopped playing around and have become much more serious.

Cheng Ye no longer goes outside to read, he only reads in the classroom.

At the weekend, Cheng Ye and his father went to the hospital for a final check-up. When the doctor announced that he was completely healed, Cheng Ye clearly felt his father's relief.

"Dad, we have an exam the week after next, so we won't have a holiday next week. You don't have to come and pick me up." Cheng Ye said while drinking soup.

Cheng Jiu paused and said, "Okay, then, what else do you need? Do you have the pens, rulers, and other things ready?"

Cheng Ye: "There's nothing missing. These have been prepared long ago." He even prepared two copies.

"By the way, Dad, I found that my 'Li Xueyan curse' has been lifted. I won't run into her every day now, but she seems to be suffering from severe insomnia."

Cheng Ye hadn't seen Li Xueyan in a long time. He used to run into her almost every day, but since the parents' visit, he'd run into her less often. If he hadn't passed her in the corridor this morning, he wouldn't have remembered her. She looked haggard, with dark circles under her eyes.

Cheng Jiu smiled and said, "Nonsense, what kind of curse? Don't pay attention to these nonsense all day long." He got rid of that thing, and Li Xueyan was naturally affected. Insomnia was considered a mild condition.

It’s not like I want to pay attention, Cheng Ye muttered in his heart.

The college entrance examination is an important node for students to fight for their future. Both students and parents attach great importance to it. Many parents choose to send their children to take the exam or accompany them. Although Cheng Jiu also wants to experience the feeling of accompanying others to take the exam, the examination venue of Cheng Ye and others is in their school, so there is no need to send their children to take the exam, let alone accompany them.

However, even so, Cheng Jiu had no intention of opening the store for the past two days and closed it immediately.

On the day of the college entrance examination

Cheng Jiu got up early in the morning and felt uncomfortable all over. He couldn't sit still and couldn't watch TV series. After walking around the house for more than an hour, Cheng Jiu decided to go out for a walk.

Driving the electric car towards Chaodong High School, the weather was hot and dry, but Cheng Jiu didn't feel dry at all. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. Forget it, since he was worried, he might as well stay at the school gate.

Not long after I went out, I met a little girl running and crying on the road.

Hmm? Cheng Jiu drove over and asked, "Little girl, what's wrong?" She was carrying a backpack and crying anxiously. Could she be going to take an exam?

The little girl was obviously exhausted. She was panting and hiccuping, saying intermittently: "Wow, I want, hiccup, woof, I'm late! Wow..." After that, she burst into tears.

Cheng Jiu: "Don't cry, are you going to take the exam? Which exam room? I'll take you there."

The little girl was obviously in a panic, and she thanked him while getting on the bus.

Cheng Jiu: "Stop crying and get in the car quickly, time is running out."

After the little girl explained, we learned that she was from another place and her parents were not around. This morning, her aunt sent her to a taxi and then went to work. Unexpectedly, the taxi was stuck in traffic. It was too late, so the little girl had to run.

Cheng Jiu tried to speed up as much as possible, and comforted her: "Don't cry anymore, calm down, uncle promises to take you to the examination room, you won't be late, okay."

Little girl: "Thank you, uncle."

Cheng Jiu: "Actually, my uncle's son is also taking an exam today. He's from Chaodong High School..."

Cheng Jiu tried his best to change the subject to help her relax, as being too nervous would affect her upcoming exam.

Time passed little by little. Cheng Jiu could sense the little girl's urgency and said, "Don't worry, there's still time. Uncle is familiar with this place and will definitely drop you off before the exam room closes. When you get off the car, rush to the school gate. There are teachers in the school who will show you the way. You must quickly ask which direction your exam room is. Don't try to find it yourself..."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, uncle."

"Have you got everything?"

"I've got them all, uncle." He reached into his backpack for the hundred and first time, touching and counting each item.

The little girl was very obedient. After getting off the car, she said thank you again and rushed to the school gate. Cheng Jiu looked at the little girl's back and felt grateful that she was out for a walk.

The two-day college entrance examination was finally over. Cheng Ye packed his schoolbag and said to his friends: "Hurry up,

My dad said we're having hotpot today." Cheng Ye thought of the hotpot he had with his dad last time and subconsciously swallowed his saliva. Both the clear and spicy soups were amazing, and the dipping sauce was absolutely amazing!

Chen Xiao and the others immediately sped up their work when they heard this. Uncle Cheng's cooking skills were impeccable.

Wu Weijia fished out a piece of tender beef, dipped it in the sauce, and couldn't wait to put it in his mouth. It was so delicious! He screamed in his heart.

"Uncle Cheng, are you really not selling your sauce?" Wu Weijia felt heartbroken at the thought that he might not be able to eat this delicacy in the future.

Cheng Jiu put a cooked shrimp into his son's bowl and said with a smile, "Sell it."

Oh, no...what? Sell?

Several people immediately became restless and asked hurriedly, "Uncle Cheng has changed his mind?"

Cheng Jiu: "The recipe has been improved. The sauce can be stored for a long time. I plan to do long-term business."

Lian Yusong, who had always been quiet, raised his head and said, "Uncle Cheng, are you planning to accompany Cheng Ye to the Imperial Capital?" Judging from Cheng Ye's grades, if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely go to the Imperial Capital University.

Cheng Ye didn't react. His father had already told him about his plan to develop into the food industry. Starting a business in the capital was also a good choice. He could also help his father during his holidays.

Cheng Jiu nodded: "Yes, I do have this plan."

Lian Yusong: "So, Uncle Cheng, do you plan to go it alone or form a partnership?"

Cheng Jiu raised his eyebrows: "Are you planning to cooperate with me?" This was a bit unexpected.

Lian Yusong: "If Uncle Cheng needs it, I can invest money." No matter what the reason was, he wanted to get closer to Cheng Jiu.

The others were happily eating the food while staring at the two with wide eyes. They hit it off immediately and had already started discussing cooperation. However, Lian Yusong was so rich.

***

Four years was enough time for Leaf Food to gain a foothold in the imperial capital market. With its quality and delicious taste, Leaf Food quickly became the perfect partner for major food circles.

But none of this mattered. Cheng Jiu looked at his son and Lian Yusong sitting opposite him with a headache. He couldn't figure out when they had started having an affair right under his nose.

Cheng Jiu looked at Lian Yusong expressionlessly and said, "Regardless of whether I agree or not, will Lian's family agree?" Lian Yusong's family is a military family. More than half of the family members are generals. The Lian family is well-known in the military world. Can they agree to Lian Yusong's homosexuality?

Lian Yusong said solemnly, "Don't worry, Uncle Cheng. I'll take care of it."

He paused at Cheng Jiu's unhappy expression and said, "If Uncle Cheng is worried about the issue of having children, I can choose one of my brothers' children to adopt into the Cheng family."

Cheng Jiu choked. "What are you doing? Have you considered the feelings of your brothers? Also, son, what's with that proud expression on your face?"

No matter what, Cheng Jiu agreed to the relationship between the two.

In the days that followed, Cheng Jiu knew that his decision was right, because until Cheng Jiu's death, Cheng Ye was always loved by Lian Yusong.
