Chapter 4 The dad here is still single!
The man looked at the weather forecast and analyzed that the average daily maximum temperature in Seoul in January might be around 2°C, while the average daily minimum temperature might drop below -6°C.
In this freezing weather, Cui Zaihu, known as "Brother Tiger", was suddenly called by Quan Zhilong and asked to go out to find him today.
But today was not a pre-planned party, nor was it an event on Quan Zhilong's schedule. The person on the phone was hesitant when talking to him.
I told him directly that I could only tell him in detail when I got to his house.
This made Brother Lao Hu think that something urgent had happened. He didn't care about anything else, hurriedly changed his clothes, took the car keys and went out.
But he forgot that it snowed heavily in Seoul last night, and the road conditions this morning were predictably difficult. The anger that had been burning in his heart gradually calmed down when he sat in the car stuck on the road.
"What the hell is Zhilong doing?"
As an employer and employee who have worked together for more than ten years, and finally as a close younger brother (family member), Brother Tiger is really worried about Kwon Ji-yong, afraid that something unspeakable has happened to him at home.
The city scenery outside the car window, after a night of heavy snow, the next day Seoul was covered with a layer of pure white gauze. Snowflakes were still falling, and the road outside had accumulated into a thick velvet carpet, covering every street, every roof, and even every tree branch.
It is beautiful, but I guess everyone on the street doesn’t have the heart to appreciate beauty. Instead, they do have the desire to kill.
The snow on the main road was cleared to both sides of the road, leaving an area large enough for vehicles to pass safely. However, despite such advance preparation of the road surface, vehicles still formed long queues and moved forward slowly like snails.
The tires spun on the snow, making a harsh friction sound. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, frowned, and drove carefully, fearing that he would accidentally slide out of the lane.
The journey that should have taken more than half an hour took him two hours, and he almost got into a car accident along the way.
Brother Tiger, who was running out of breath, heard this extremely strange conversation after opening the door. He didn't recognize the girl's voice, but the man's voice was Quan Zhilong!
Since the words came from Zhilong's mouth, why wouldn't he believe it?
So, the reason for calling him here early in the morning, something that was inconvenient to talk about over the phone, was...
"Zhilong..."
“........What are you doing....” After many years, the child who was left behind finally came to the door, right?
Brother Lao Hu really wanted to say the second half of the sentence, but when he turned around, his eyes met with the little boy on the sofa. The innocent child's eyes and a dazed look appeared in his eyes.
"What a cute and beautiful baby!" I thought to myself.
I braked in time and swallowed it back.
How can you say this in front of your children?
..........
"Brother, you're here!"
His tone was filled with the tiredness of finally waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. If his sister Quan Damei were present and saw her brother like this, she would definitely find him very familiar.
What kind of tiredness is that? It's obviously the feeling of powerlessness after taking care of the baby, and she just wants to be alone and empty herself. Isn't this her daily state when taking care of the baby at home during this period!
After breakfast, Quan Zhilong decided to do a paternity test between the child and himself, and then called Brother Lao Hu. By the time he came home, only more than three hours had passed.
But it was almost noon now, and I felt as if I was physically and mentally tortured.
Xiao Taotao is a very well-behaved child. You can see from her that her parents (that's what they call them) have raised her very well. Although he doesn't have much experience raising children, judging by the situations of those around him, including Yong Pei's family, his sister's family, and his friends who have married and had children in recent years...
Those babies are definitely a hundred times harder to take care of than Xiao Taotao.
Or does it refer to the physical difficulty of carrying them, and the high energy that can tire out adults.
Xiao Taotao refers to the mental "attack" on the person who takes care of the child.
This kid is so smart.
Playing the question-and-answer game with Kwon Ji-yong was more like his one-sided information collection. Just asking a child's mother about her occupation, he came up with more than a dozen answers.
Doctors, police, reporters...even restaurant waiters! The only missing person is the child's mother, who is actually an alien who accidentally landed on Earth and fell in love with her father.
After much thought, I still couldn't come to the answer. Not only did I not get the name of the child's mother, but I also failed to find the answer.
Oh! They also figured out a nickname. Little Dumpling said she was "Little Peach" and her mom's nickname was "Little Fish"... It was Kwon Ji-yong who pulled out his phone translator and transliterated it into Korean using the Chinese pronunciation.
Fish...the kind you eat?
All I know is that she is Chinese, and my guess is that she is a strong woman in some field, because Xiao Taotao said that her mother goes out to work more often than her father.
I don’t know anything else! If he knew Chinese, he would probably know more, but the child’s thinking jumps too fast. Often when you ask her what she said in the previous sentence, she doesn’t know what it was.
He could use a translator to check, maybe he could find some information.
The child will say to you, "Dad, I forgot."
Quan Zhilong: I’m going to vomit blood!
After waiting for a long time, Brother Lao Hu finally arrived. Before he could open his mouth to explain to him what was going on with Xiao Taotao, the child rushed out like a little cannonball. Just like the scene he had experienced in his dream last night, he rushed directly towards the man at the door and knocked him down.
Quan Zhilong clearly saw the child's familiar little jumping action before falling down!
“!!!”
What’s going on? Isn’t this welcoming ceremony of falling down a scene exclusive to fathers?
.
Little Taotao didn't care about her father's resentful look. Since she woke up in bed in the morning, her father became weird.
Well... this father seems to look a little different from the one I saw yesterday, but the child can't tell exactly what's different. After all, he looks exactly like Kwon Ji-yong.
But the photo frame of the family of three on the bedside table is gone, and the room doesn’t seem to be arranged like this...?
Suddenly, her mother disappeared, and she would cry with hunger at home. Her father suddenly became very stupid and asked her many questions that she didn't understand...
The most direct sense of fear arises in the heart of a three-year-old child.
Did her parents not want her anymore?
South Korea has a precocious school environment, and even kindergartens are no exception. Children as young as three can start making friends (partners). The children there all know what it means when their parents are divorced.
One of her good friends from kindergarten came from a divorced family.
Before Brother Tiger came, her series of questions to Quan Zhilong almost silenced him.
"Dad...how can Taotao know something he doesn't know?"
"Mommy is working, why doesn't she bring Taotao with her?"
Little Taotao vaguely thought she had guessed the truth, but when she thought of her friends in kindergarten, her expression became as if she was about to cry, and her mouth was pouting so much that a soy sauce bottle could be hung on it.
"Did Mommy divorce you?"
"Mommy doesn't want Taotao anymore. Are we leaving...?"
The love of imagination is a hereditary thing. The three-year-old child, whose full name is Quan Muyu and nickname is Xiao Taotao, has inherited the perfect love of imagination from Quan Zhilong. At such a young age, he has surpassed his teacher.
If it were the couple in that world, they would be used to their daughter's "outrageous remarks".
But the Quan Zhilong in front of him was about to make him dizzy.
What kind of words is this kid saying?
What Quan Zhilong didn't know was that his daughter was very good at reading adults' expressions and acting accordingly. During the interrogation just now, he had exposed himself as a sieve.
...........
Feeling extremely uneasy, when she saw a familiar face, little Taotao cried out and was about to leave her father and run straight into Brother Lao Hu's arms.
With the same impact force, Tiger Brother's ability to withstand it is not on the same level as Quan Zhilong's. Even with the help of a jump, this little cannonball could not knock the opponent down. Instead, he caught the child steadily. It was a harmonious scene like a father bear protecting his cubs, which made Quan Zhilong behind him so jealous.
This little girl just said that she loves her dad the most!
She pounced on the other uncles so quickly. Listen~ She was still in Brother Tiger's arms, affectionately calling "Uncle Tiger~", complaining about the terrible breakfast her father made for her in the morning, and asking as usual, "Did Mommy really go to work?"
"She went to China, why didn't she take me with her?"
The child in his arms was crying. The look in the two men's eyes when they looked at each other showed that compared to Tiger Brother's confusion, Quan Zhilong had more faith in Xiao Taotao and felt that she was his biological daughter.
The child's reaction cannot be fake. Her attitude towards Brother Tiger is no different from meeting a relative. It is the reaction she would have when meeting the person closest to her, unless in the future, he fires the other person.
But think about it, unless the other party retires on their own initiative, this possibility will not happen.
"I feel like there's no need to guess about the results of the paternity test."
.
Before leaving, he put the hair he took away in his innermost pocket. Looking at the father and daughter, Brother Tiger got a headache.
Kwon Ji-yong is 35 years old this year. For a man of his age, let alone the first child, he is probably already having a second child. According to the artists, the fertility rate in South Korea, it would not be surprising if he has a third child.
But the strange thing is that Quan Zhilong is unmarried. He is a bachelor and doesn't even have a serious girlfriend.
If you're in a relationship...
He couldn't guarantee it.
Where did this three-year-old child come from? If this gets out, it will be called an illegitimate child.
"Zhilong~"
"Actually, it's the second child of the Yong Pei family, right?"
Rather than believing that it was Kwon Ji-yong's child, he would rather believe that Dong Young-bae had given birth to a second child without telling them.
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
"Yong Pei's eldest son is only one year old, how could the second child be three years old?"
Behind him, Xiao Taotao was in the living room, playing with the only small toy he could find in his house. But it was obviously something boys would like. It was the gift that Quan Zhilong wanted to give to his nephew last time, but he forgot to bring it with him and kept it at home.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Xiao Taotao didn't seem very interested, and Quan Zhilong thought that it was true. He decided to go with her to buy some dolls that girls would like to play with.
His daughter was not interested in robots or anything like that when she saw them.
After more than ten years of friendship, Brother Tiger can see through the thoughts of people at a glance. Obviously, Quan Zhilong has adapted well to his father's identity and does not need to wait for the results of the identification.
Although, he had the same feeling when he first saw the child. Those eyes were a copy and paste of the man.
When she doesn't smile at people, she has the same intimidating aura as her father does when he's angry.
A feeling of tiredness came over me. Is this the same as what he wanted to express?
Zhilong, you didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter. Where is it?
Quan Zhilong turned his head and met the hesitation in Tiger Brother's eyes again. He smiled and returned to his usual nonchalant demeanor, as if everything was under his control. "Brother, you just need to help me with the appraisal, that's all."
"I'll take care of the rest myself."
Less than a morning had passed, but Kwon Ji-Ryong had already reached a point where there was no dispute about the child's identity. The identification done for Tiger Brother was just a known result, but he insisted on completing the process.
Next, the information he wanted to get from the child should be the true appearance of the child's mother.
.
The mommy that Xiao Taotao mentioned went to China to work, and her visits were more frequent than Quan Zhilong's.
What type of career would that be?
"Mommy is going to work. Will Xiao Taotao miss her a lot?"
"Then how are we going to see Mommy?"
When it comes to children, Quan Zhilong has become accustomed to the step-by-step approach, which requires patience and steps. He asks questions one by one, and chooses the simplest questions, not the logical thinking questions that adults would use.
For example, if you ask a child if he misses his mother, he should look at photos or something like that instead, right?
Kwon Ji-yong was just suspicious...the other party was also an artist, which was why his profession was so varied in the children's words.
Because the image I see outside is different every time. To be more specific, it is similar to the character transformation I see on TV...
For example, she's an actress!
In the afternoon, the new father at home finally couldn't help but touch his daughter's hair. With the frizzy hair and loose braids on her head, Quan Zhilong decided to braid a new braid for her himself.
When his palm just touched the child's soft hair, his hand trembled, for fear that if he used too much force, he would pull her hair out and hurt her.
After the third failure (actually he was not satisfied), he finally finished combing his hair into a single ponytail that he thought looked good.
The child's hair is very smooth. As long as it is combed smoothly, there will be no small frizz on the head. He also applied a small drop of hair care oil on it, which smells nice.
Xiao Taotao is satisfied with her father's skills in making fried eggs and combing hair.
Anyway, at home, the person who takes care of her hair, does small hairstyles, and matches clothes for her and her mother is her father.
My mother always says, 'Dad is an artist, and this is within his professional scope.' Although I don't understand the specific meaning, my child has memorized it after hearing it so many times.
The child had a familiar expression of disdain for her dad's clumsiness. She pretended to be angry with her chubby little face, which made her look even more soft and cute. He couldn't help but touch her little chubby face.
When Quan Zhilong showed her his tablet, the child was stunned and asked, "Where's the mommy on it?"
Of course not! The Quan Zhilong mentioned by the children is a man who sets his wife and children as wallpaper.
But at this time, Quan Zhilong...
Baby~The dad here is still a bachelor!
