"That's enough." Facing Shen Wanhua, the relationship was not harmonious to begin with, and An Hongdou really didn't know what to talk to him about.
But looking at his expression, it seemed as if he wanted to chat with her.
"As long as it's enough, it's good. If it's not enough, just tell me. I still have some connections here."
In fact, Shen Wanhua also knew that even if it was not enough, Shen Xiangzhi would have a way to get it from other places.
He has been accustomed to scheming since he was a child. Although Shen Wanhua didn't know what he had done, he vaguely guessed that he definitely had other ways to make money.
Otherwise, the three elderly people in the family would not let their beloved ones freeze and starve.
But as a grown man, he wanted to reconcile with his daughter-in-law, and he really didn't know what to talk about, so he could only make small talk and chat for a few awkward sentences.
After Shen Wanhua asked about the family situation, he asked An Hongdou about her studies.
I thought that this daughter-in-law had never been to school and entered middle school right after entering school. She must have suffered a lot in her studies and might not achieve anything. However, the reality of An Hongdou taught her a lesson.
In just half a year, she not only skipped a grade, but also got surprisingly good test scores.
These alone made Shen Wanhua look more than a little higher on An Hongdou.
After all, in his eyes, if you want to learn so much knowledge so quickly, it is definitely not enough to be smart, you also need to be diligent enough.
Obviously, An Hongdou has reached this level in his eyes.
Not long after, Shen Xiangzhi also came back, and An Hongdou was finally able to escape.
The father and son chatted for a long time downstairs, and An Hongdou didn't hear what they were talking about.
When Shen Xiangzhi came up, he hugged her and said in an extremely gentle voice, "Hongdou, I told my dad to stay here for dinner tonight."
"He's already said it. How can I stop him from eating?" An Hongdou said unhappily.
"Of course not, that's not what I meant." Shen Xiangzhi sighed, and his words were slightly lamenting, "I just suddenly felt that my dad seemed to have aged a lot during this period of time."
In the past, Shen Wanhua always dressed appropriately. Although he was not young anymore, his face was well maintained, and his hair was always combed meticulously, with the elegance and handsomeness of a middle-aged man.
And now, he seems to be the same person as before, but he seems to be a little different.
Maybe because Li Jing was not around and no one helped him take care of it, Shen Wanhua was still the dignified middle-aged man, but his clothes were no longer like before, always straight and without a wrinkle, but not sloppy either.
On the contrary, he seems like a normal middle-aged man, less superior and more down-to-earth.
Moreover, the hair on his head has turned a little white. Although he still looks handsome, he looks a little more vicissitudes of life.
Others might not feel it, but Shen Xiangzhi, who was his own son, always felt uncomfortable when he looked at such an old man.
Noticing Shen Xiangzhi’s distressed tone, An Hongdou didn’t say anything else.
However, when it was time to eat, she saw Shen Wanhua actually picked up the bowl to feed Dabao and the others first.
In the past, even though he could see his love for children, he never fed them himself. I don’t know if it was because he was afraid that he wouldn’t feed them well or if he just didn’t want to do it.
But this time, this obvious change still made An Hongdou feel weird.
How could she know that since Li Jing left, Shen Wanhua's life has become monotonous and lonely.
Some people don't feel that there is anything important when they are together, and they even quarrel all the time. But when the other person leaves, one person's life suddenly becomes quiet, and they feel more and more uncomfortable.
The three daughters in the family are all in school, and girls are naturally delicate. In the past, Li Jing was the one who took care of him and rarely disciplined him. But now, sometimes when he said something harsh, she would burst into tears.
Shen Wanhua just watched, feeling strangely uncomfortable.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of the good things about his son. At least he was tough. He was the one who scolded and beat him the most since he was a child. That boy could run and jump, and he could also go against him. He just wouldn't shut up and listen. He would argue even if he was wrong. He was a real bad boy.
I used to think this was weird and annoying, but now I think it’s easier to communicate with children like this.
Although An Hongdou seldom spoke, there were three children there, and there was also a foul-mouthed Shen Xiangzhi who would poke him from time to time, and Shen Wanhua suddenly felt particularly comfortable.
Days like this are lively and full of the breath of life.
He was still reluctant to leave until he finished his meal and left.
When the people disappeared, An Hongdou nudged Shen Xiangzhi with her elbow and asked, "Is your father a little bit off today?"
"That's right." Chen Xiang knew: "Anyway, I'm just free."
"What's going on?" An Hongdou became interested.
"Yue Wan was pursued by a boy at school. As luck would have it, the old man ran into her when he was sending her home. She felt very bad, but the old man had a bad temper and said a few harsh words to her. Yue Wan was a young girl with a thin face, so she cried and locked herself in the room." Shen Wanhua didn't know what to do, so he ran here to hide for a while.
An Hongdou was shocked. "Yue Wan is not that old, and someone is pursuing her so soon? What about her attitude?"
"How would I know? I only heard it from the old man. I haven't seen her for a long time." Chen Xiangzhi spread his hands and said, "I'll find a time to go see her tomorrow. After all, she calls me brother. Let's see what's going on first."
"It's your family's business, so you should make your own decision," said An Hongdou.
However, in the middle of the night, An Hongdou heard someone knocking on the door.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Shen Xiangzhi got up and went to open the door.
Looking at An Changyue standing at the door, Shen Xiangzhi wondered, “Changyue, what’s wrong with you?”
Shen Xiangzhi was wondering in his heart, why is this child still not asleep in the middle of the night?
An Hongdou also got up, put on her clothes, turned on the light and walked over.
"I... I seem to hear a child crying outside, I... I'm scared..." She got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and she heard a child crying outside the door.
When she was in school, she accidentally heard the boys in her class telling ghost stories. She usually didn't think much of it, but at this time, those scenes seemed to appear all at once.
She covered herself in the quilt for a while, but still felt scared. The baby's voice seemed to echo in her ears, and she didn't dare to open the door to see alone.
"Are you having a nightmare?"
When Shen Xiangzhi finished asking this question, An Hongdou had already used her special powers to check the situation outside the door.
