At dinner,
Apart from Qiuyue, the other four kids, including Qiushui, all drink soda.
Qiu Jingwen and his wife Yu Ping, along with their son Qiu Yang, all drank baijiu (Chinese liquor).
Among them, Qiu Jingwen drank about half a jin (250ml), while Qiu Yang, who rarely drinks, drank two or three liang (100-150ml). Jiang Yuping, a female doctor who usually opposes her husband and son drinking, also drank about two or three liang (100-150ml).
At this moment, Qiu Jingwen had a lot to say to her son.
However, when it came to actually speaking, he didn't know where to begin.
The task force has been stationed at the Hongqi Factory to investigate cases involving enemy agents, and the Liu Han murder case is also under joint investigation.
He wondered when his identity as a secret agent and his wife's murderer of Liu Han would be exposed.
He was genuinely worried that by then it would be too late to say anything to his son, which was why he asked his son to come home and have a talk with him.
But at this moment,
When the time actually came for him to speak, he hesitated again.
If I tell my son the truth now, that I am the enemy agent that the investigation team was looking for in the factory, that I am a spy who has been lurking for nearly 30 years, and then tell him that his Qiu Yang's mother, Jiang Yuping, was also involved in the case and became the murderer of Liu Hanhan.
These,
Can I tell my son?
If the truth is told, can my son Qiuyang bear it?
Will my son completely break down after hearing this?
It's late at night.
After leaving the dormitory area, turn past the adjacent staff school, and you'll find yourself on a country road.
On both sides of the path are rice paddies that are half a person tall, from which comes a clear chorus of frogs.
The moonlight is like water.
The rice paddies in front of us
Like a still and beautiful rural oil painting.
After a gust of wind, the oil painting began to transform into animation, bringing beauty and wonder to people.
Seeing that his father did not respond to his question, Qiu Yang pressed him again.
"Dad, what happened? Can you tell me now?"
Qiu Jingwen suddenly turned around and looked around.
He stopped when he was sure no one was following him.
After all, he was a special agent who had received intensive training in his youth. He knew that the police officers were not to be underestimated. From Liu Han's contact with his son Qiushou, from Liu Han's contact with his wife, and from Liu Han's contact with him on that stormy day, it was clear that the deceased Liu Han had interacted with all three members of his family. The police officers would definitely connect the dots. As for how Liu Han used the three thousand yuan he gave him, and whether the police officers found any clues about the money at Liu Han's residence after his death, all of these were unknown.
Therefore, he was unsure whether he, along with his wife, had been considered suspects by the police.
If he is included as a suspect, the police will definitely send someone to secretly monitor him and his wife's every move.
Although Qiu Jingwen had been drinking, he was still wary, which is why he suddenly turned around to observe his surroundings.
After confirming that no one was following him, he gazed at his son's handsome face in the moonlight before slowly speaking.
"Qiuyang, you're twenty-two today, right?"
The autumn scenery evokes a sense of civilization, prompting further questions.
For Qiu Yang, his father's words were completely superfluous.
But he still answered:
"Dad, yes, twenty-two."
"The eldest son is like a father---son, you---".
"Dad, there's no one here. What happened to our family?"
Qiu Jingwen took a deep drag on his cigarette and then threw the cigarette butt into the rice paddy not far away.
He seemed to have gone all out, quietly gazing at his son in the moonlight.
"Qiuyang, as the saying goes, the weather is unpredictable, and fortune can change in an instant. There are some things I really want to tell you, but I'm afraid you can't bear them!"
"What I want to say is that if one day your dad encounters an unexpected event, or suddenly passes away, you must stay strong with your mom and take good care of your three younger sisters and brother during the autumn harvest."
As Qiu Jingwen spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Although Qiu Yang is young, he is very thoughtful.
Looking at his father's face, filled with sorrow and helplessness, and the tears in his eyes, his heart clenched and ached, as if he had been suddenly bitten by a venomous snake.
Time and space seemed to freeze at that moment.
The croaking of frogs in the rice paddies seemed to have stopped.
The croaking of frogs continues.
However, Qiu Yang didn't hear these poetic natural sounds at all.
At that moment, he heard a sound like an atomic bomb exploding.
Yes, his father's words stirred up a storm in his heart.
Qiu Yang wasn't a fool; Qiu Jingwen beside him was undoubtedly explaining the future to him.
There was a long silence.
The moonlight was like water.
The summer night suddenly turned chilly.
A breeze blew by,
A subtle sound drifted from the rice paddies, like a mournful song.
"dad---".
Qiu Yang cried out, almost as if she were crying.
He knew that his father must have encountered something extremely serious.
In this world, it's hard to say whether all fathers are heroes or god-like figures in their children's eyes. But for Qiu Yang, in his twenty-two years of life, from the time he can remember, his father, Qiu Jingwen, has been the best father in the world, even a god-like figure.
In his memory, his father never slapped him, and always faced him with a smile, even in front of everyone and everything.
