Chapter 229 Reconciled?
After making the decision, he took a deep breath and got out of the car with slightly trembling feet.
Li Yiyi walked up to her and held her arm, but Hua Xinbai refused.
"No need to help me, I can walk by myself." After saying that, the old man walked towards the Jiang family with firm feet.
At the Jiang family's side, Hua Qing, who came in first, has been sitting in the living room feeling a little uneasy. His worried and a little frightened eyes look towards the Jiang family's front door from time to time.
To be honest, she really hated this father before, thinking that he was the one who caused her to lose her daughter.
But now that he has found his daughter, he learned from her that her biological father has not had a good life in recent years, and he feels quite guilty about being a father.
In fact, she had discussed with the man beside her a few days ago that after the New Year holiday this year, the couple would go to the hometown where their daughter was married to visit the old father.
Unexpectedly, before she could complete this action, her old father came to find her, leaving her a little at a loss for a moment.
Just as she stretched her neck to look outside again, she suddenly heard her daughter's voice outside, "Grandpa, be careful and watch the road."
Then she heard her father answering his daughter, "Girl, why are you so worried? Grandpa is not a child anymore. I will take care of the road myself."
After a while, she saw a staggering figure walking into the living room from outside.
Looking at this figure, she compared the image of her father in her memory with his current image, and suddenly realized that her father had really aged a lot.
Her nose immediately felt sore and her guilt towards her father grew deeper and deeper.
Hua Xinbai, who walked into the yard, quickly saw his daughter sitting in the living room. The father and daughter just looked at each other from a distance, and neither of them took the initiative to speak.
Li Yiyi and Zhang Xinsheng watched from the side. Neither the siblings said anything to interrupt the eye contact between the father and daughter.
Hua Xinbai looked at his daughter whom he hadn't seen for more than 20 years, and his heart ached. The daughter who used to have a bad temper had now become a grandmother.
"Qingqing, Dad, Dad is sorry." As soon as he said this, Hua Xinbai suddenly felt as if his whole body was much more relaxed.
When Hua Qing heard his father's words, he felt even more sad. He walked out of the hall, and with red eyes, he called out to him, "Dad."
Hearing the words "Dad" after more than 20 years, Hua Xinbai sighed loudly and his eyes became moist.
"Dad, actually it's not all your fault what happened back then. After all, you were doing it for my own good. The child's dad was on a mission at the time and couldn't reveal his true identity, so you misunderstood that he was not a man you could entrust your life to." Thinking about it now, Hua Qing felt that she had to blame her husband for everything.
If he hadn't provoked her while on a mission and refused to tell her the truth, causing her father to think that he was not a good man, then what happened next would not have happened.
At the same time, Zhang Qingcheng, who was working, suddenly sneezed loudly.
"Don't blame your son-in-law, blame me. It was me who asked you to abort the child without checking the facts clearly. You ran away from home because you were angry with dad. It's all dad's fault." The father and daughter rushed to admit their mistakes.
Li Yiyi and Zhang Xinsheng, brother and sister, looked at them with a look of confusion on their faces.
"Grandpa, Mom, no matter whose fault it is, I want to ask you two a question. Have you two reconciled now?" She asked, looking at them with a smile.
As soon as she said this, Hua Xinbai looked at his daughter nervously.
Hua Qing smiled and said with an embarrassed look on his face, "What's good or bad? This is my dad. There is no way that the hatred between father and daughter lasted overnight. I am no longer angry with your grandpa."
Hua Xinbai finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his daughter's words. He smiled and continued, "That's right, there is no overnight hatred between father and daughter."
Li Yiyi and Zhang Xinsheng were happy for them when they saw this.
As it was almost noon, Li Yiyi took Zhang Xinsheng, who didn't know how to cook, into the kitchen to help.
In the kitchen, Zhang Xinsheng looked at the work in the kitchen and suddenly felt confused. He looked at Li Yiyi with a confused look on his face and asked, "Sister, I don't know how to work."
Li Yiyi smiled and pointed at the vegetables lying beside her, "You should know how to pick them."
Zhang Xinsheng's face lit up with joy, "I know how to do that. I saw Aunt Wang do it before."
Aunt Wang is a servant who helps the Zhang family, but now she claims to be a relative of the Zhang family.
While her brother was picking vegetables and not paying attention to her, Li Yiyi took the opportunity to smuggle out a box of beef and a four-pound slaughtered grass carp from the Space Supermarket, and also asked the supermarket to send a bag of pickled fish seasoning.
Zhang Xinsheng, who was picking vegetables, looked up and saw what she had in her hand. His mouth opened slightly and he exclaimed, "Sister, your family's food is too good. You actually have so many things at home."
Li Yiyi smiled when she heard him say this, "I knew grandpa would come today, so I prepared these in advance."
"Do you like spicy food?" She remembered that the pickled fish she was going to make would be a bit spicy, so she asked him.
Zhang Xinsheng smiled sheepishly and replied, "I can't really eat it, but it's okay to try."
After listening to this, Li Yiyi continued, "It's okay if you can't handle spicy food. I can make you some beef later."
Although the fish had been killed, since it was going to be made into sauerkraut fish, she had to cut the fish fillets herself.
After she finished cutting the fish, Zhang Xinsheng also lit the fire according to her instructions.
"You did a good job. At least you're better than me. The first time I lit a fire, it was like setting the kitchen at home on fire." Looking at her younger brother who lit a fire so smoothly, Li Yiyi gave him a compliment without hesitation.
Zhang Xinsheng listened to his sister's praise and touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, and explained, "Actually, I learned how to make a fire in the wild when I was abroad. At that time, I went camping in the wild with several of my foreign classmates, and I had to learn how to make a fire."
After hearing this, Li Yiyi finally understood why her brother's fire-making skills were so good.
With the help of her younger brother who was good at cooking, Li Yiyi quickly prepared two dishes and finally made a plate of egg drop soup.
When the two siblings walked into the hall with the food, they saw that the father and daughter sitting inside had red eyes, as if they had been crying.
The four of them sat at the dinner table. Li Yiyi picked up a few pieces of boneless fish for Hua Xinbai and said, "Grandpa, it's a little spicy. If you can't handle it, you can eat the beef instead. Just dip it in soy sauce."
