Chapter 175 Dad is incompetent (Part 3)

Before they left Beijing, An's father and Kang Xiaohua lived in the east bedroom with their seven-year-old twins, Qi Lijuan lived in a small room separated from the bedroom, sleeping on An Zhixia's bed. Qi Guoqiang lived in the west bedroom, sleeping on An Zhiqiu's bed, while the An siblings lived in a small room of five square meters separated from the west room, and An Zhixia's bed was a worn-out door panel supported by bricks.

Ever since An Zhiqiu understood the difference between men and women, he has been curled up in a wooden chair to sleep.

Now Kang Xiaohua's brother and sister-in-law moved in with their children, and Kang's mother also came to look after the children. The house was redistributed, and there were two beds in the main room, which seemed very crowded and narrow. Fortunately, the Kang family went back to the countryside to visit relatives today, and only An's father was in the house, coaxing the children with his head down, and his face, which was deeply etched with time, was full of kindness.

Seeing An Zhiqiu coming, he leaned forward slightly in excitement but didn't stand up. He stared at his son, who looked particularly tall and majestic in the light, and asked in a muffled voice: "You're back? Where's your sister? Why didn't you write to your family in advance? I'll go pick you up."

An Zhiqiu casually threw the sack aside, pulled a chair and sat down, glanced at the two-month-old child, and raised his eyebrows: "You have a child in your old age? You have good abilities, congratulations!"

Father An said with an unpleasant expression: "How can you talk to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the baby in his arms began to cry. He immediately patted and soothed the baby for a while. When the child calmed down and sobbed, he whispered, "I know you hate me for sending you two brothers and sisters to the countryside as educated youth, but every family is like this. If you don't go, Guoqiang and Lijuan will go. You are still young and can delay it for two or three years, but they are old and it's time to get married. You can't get away from it.

Your Aunt Kang has been a little biased over the years, which is human nature, but haven't you grown up well?"

An Zhiqiu found it very ironic. "You are such a great father. Aunt Kang knows that she favors her biological children. Why don't you take care of us more often? If you had done that, we would have no problem going to the countryside to be educated youth!"

Oh, your requirements for your second wife are really low, as long as she doesn't murder my brother and me, that's good enough?"

Father An's face flushed with shame and anger: "Speak to me properly! It's only been a year, how did you become like this? Before..."

"In the past, my brother and I relied on you for food, and our household registration was under your name, so we naturally had to be cautious, fearing that we would offend you and be sold out by you, but what happened? We were still sent away.

It's different now, our household registration has been taken away, to put it nicely, our family has been divided, and according to the old saying, we have been kicked out of the house. You are just our father, you can't interfere in our lives as before!" He tried to pretend to be indifferent, but at this moment the backlight could not hide his deep sorrow and sadness.

He grew up and got married, and he had to be strong to support the two most important women in his life. But he was also a child who wanted to be loved by his parents. His mother left him with so many beautiful and gentle memories, but she suddenly left, and his father, who hugged him and his sister every day after get off work and took candies and cookies from his pocket, became more and more unfamiliar.

Seeing how loving and gentle Father An was to a baby, he was jealous, but then he gave up completely. What was past was gone forever and could never come back.

Father An had no way of distinguishing his child's emotions. He only felt a surge of anger rising up, shaking with anger all over. However, he still remembered to control his volume and tone, and growled through gritted teeth, "An Zhiqiu! You have my blood flowing in your body, you are my son! Why can't I interfere with your life? I'm telling you, don't think that you have grown up and become more independent now that you are far away.

If you want to return to the city with your sister, don't you still have to rely on me to spend money and build connections for you?

Unless you stay in the mountains for the rest of your life and never come back!"

As soon as An Zhixia opened the door, she heard the authoritarian words of An's father. She looked at her brother's stiff and straight back, sat down on the chair, sneered and asked, "Oh? Why didn't I know that Comrade An had this ability? You have been a paint factory worker all your life, and you have climbed to the treatment of a fourth-level master worker based on your length of service. You are submissive in the factory, but you show off at home?

Why don't you spend money to build relationships?

Tsk tsk, I forgot that your wife took all your money. She must have said that it was all for daily expenses, right? But the two children found jobs easily, and I don’t know where the money came from.

Without money, nothing works these days.

Comrade Lao An, let me ask you, how do you help us get connections?"

"I'm your father, and you don't even want to call me dad now?" Looking at the strange yet familiar, fair-skinned, pretty, and a little arrogant girl, Father An's heart ached, as if he saw the stunning woman through his blurred vision. He said coldly, "Don't worry, I will let you return to the city even if it costs me my life!"

An Zhiqiu said calmly: "You said this before, and we could still be grateful to you, but now, we don't need it anymore." He stood up and took things out of the sack bit by bit: "This is Maotai liquor, which was your favorite in the past, and mother often bought it for you.

Since you don’t like desserts, I didn’t buy any for you, and I exchanged all my money and tickets for cigarette coupons.

Here are two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes and six packs of Beijing filter cigarettes. If they are too expensive, you can give them out to your coworkers. If they are cheaper, you can smoke them yourself. Although there are many children in your family, it is better for you to smoke filter cigarettes. If you are in good health, you can spend more years with them.

The cotton-padded jacket you are wearing has been worn for seven or eight years and is no longer warm. This is the cotton-padded jacket and trousers Xia Xia picked for you. They should be a good fit. Just wear them yourself and don't be silly and give them to others. Otherwise, we will come empty-handed next time.

My sister and I returned to Kyoto with our own abilities and became apprentices in Dongcheng District. We would come to see you during the holidays. By the way, I got married before the New Year. When she comes to Kyoto, I will bring her to see you.

We are relieved that you are in good health. In winter, the days are short, so we won't stay to eat, so as to avoid having to drive back in the dark and get lost. "

Looking at the things on the table, Father An's chin trembled violently. He touched the things one by one with a trembling hand and choked up, "Kids, I'm sorry, Dad doesn't have the ability..."

The two of them had no interest in listening any further, so they turned around, opened the door and walked out.

"Wait," Father An came over with the child in his arms, "When are you guys coming over next time? I'll buy some meat in advance, and we'll have a good meal together. If you don't like eating at home, we can go to a restaurant."

"We are apprentices and our holidays are uncertain. Let's see," An Zhiqiu said lightly, tilting his neck slightly, then he pulled the girl, pushed the cart and left.
