The family of three sat in silence, each occupying one side of the sofa. Finally, after more than half an hour, the doorbell rang.
Under the gaze of her parents, Han Jiali moved over and opened the door.
Outside, Qin Taoji was carrying two boxes of fruit in one hand, with two boxes tucked under his arms, and his trouser pockets were bulging.
Qin Taoji looked inside and saw Han Jiali looking at him with a sad face and pouting. The room was quiet.
"Do you need to change your shoes?"
"No need, just come in."
As soon as Qin Taoji entered the room, he put the things on the coffee table and knelt down in front of the two elders smoothly.
Apologize sincerely: "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad."
Father Han turned his head to the other side and asked, "Is it me you feel sorry for?"
Han's mother also squinted her eyes.
Qin Taoji didn't get up. He presented the gifts he bought one by one, "Dad, this is Tieguanyin. I brought you two cans. Try them first. If you like them, I'll buy you more later."
Then he opened a small, exquisite green box. "Mom, Jiali said you like silk scarves. I asked the clerk at the "Only" store to pick them out for me. Take a look and see if you like them."
"Jia Li, these are the three golds I bought for you. I heard that young girls nowadays like these when they get married. The rings will take some time to make, so you can try them on first."
Han Jiali put on the bracelet, necklace, and earrings. Because they were made of pure gold, they were quite heavy.
"I love so much."
Following her example, the other two also looked at their gifts.
Father Han said sternly, "I'm not unreasonable. I'm giving you a chance. Tell me where you've been these past few years, what you've been doing, and why you broke off your engagement."
Qin Taoji had anticipated this question and spoke frankly, "I've been working undercover at the border for the past few years. I went undercover for a few years when I was in school, not knowing how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. After I busted the drug den, I went home. I broke my engagement because the people over there needed me. Someone escaped back then and was looking for news about me, so I had to go."
Han Jiali could more or less guess what it was, but it felt different when she heard him say it.
The two old people sighed and had one last question, "If they need you in the future, will you abandon them again?"
"Dad!" Han Jiali interrupted.
Qin Taoji shook his head at her and said, "No, everyone over there has been arrested. From now on, Jiali and Si'an are my heaven and earth. I won't leave them even a step."
"Hey...you two should make your own decisions."
I can't control it.
Han Jiali pulled him, "Get up quickly."
Qin Taoji sat beside her and answered the two old people's questions respectfully.
Han's mother glanced away with melancholy. The child had changed so much. What on earth had he been through?
——
They were able to pass this test. After eating lunch made by Han's mother, the two went to pick up Han Sian from school, but they met Qin Yuan pulling a suitcase at the school gate.
He was sticking his butt out, talking to Han Sian who was inside the school's iron gate.
"Mom and Dad are here to pick me up!"
Qin Yuan turned around: "Uncle! Aunt!"
He hadn't changed at all, and Han Jiali could tell that at a glance.
Back then, they beat up that unscrupulous teacher for themselves.
"Go home"
"good!"
"good!"
