"Your father Song Yuanzhou is back. He is afraid that you will not accept him, so he has been staying in the guesthouse. I will find a day to talk to you properly before letting him come back."

At this time, Song Zhiyao thought of what Uncle Liang said that day. It turned out that Lai Yanling didn't have a partner, but Song Yuanzhou had returned, and the two seemed to have resolved the misunderstanding.

From her tone just now, you can tell that there is no gap between the two of them now. The only worry is that the three siblings will not accept their father who suddenly appears.

She didn't care that they had never met before. As long as Lai Yanling could accept him, she would respect him when he came back. As for the rest, it would depend on his performance.

But the other two people are different. Song Ruyun and Song Zihao have complicated feelings towards their father. They have admired him since childhood, and they couldn't accept his sudden departure from home for a while.

In my heart, I still admire him as before, but I am now more conflicted. I am worried about whether to forgive him or not, and what tone and attitude to use when he comes back.

The two siblings were at a loss for a moment and looked at each other. Song Ruyun said stubbornly, "Leaving home without saying a word, like how many cold stares we have suffered over the years, and coming back without saying a word, what does this mean?"

Although she missed her father very much, she was feeling angry inside, so she expressed it out without mercy, and after she finished speaking, her tears kept flowing down.

In a short while, his eyes and nose turned red. Song Zihao was a boy, so he was stronger. He couldn't hold back his tears any longer, and his eyes were clearly red.

Seeing the two of them crying, although Song Zhiyao could not fully understand their feelings, she could also feel their struggle, so she hugged one of them and gently comforted them.

Facing Song Ruyun's blunt words, Lai Yanling did not make excuses for Song Yuanzhou. "When he comes back, you can personally confront him about the crime. No matter what nasty things he says, he won't get angry."

That day, after get off work, Lai Yanling went home as usual. She felt like someone was following her on the road. When she stopped, Song Yuanzhou appeared directly in front of her.

At that moment, Lai Yanling thought her eyes were blurry. She rubbed her eyes with her hands, and when she opened them again, she saw the person in front of her. It was Song Yuanzhou, the person she had been thinking about.

There were thousands of words to say when the two people looked into each other's eyes. Song Yuanzhou was as handsome as ever, but his hair had turned a lot whiter and there were many more wrinkles on his forehead. He looked much older than he was a dozen years ago.

In Song Yuanzhou's eyes, Lai Yanling has also changed a lot. She is more mature and stable, and her eyes have become more determined. Yes, how could she not have changed when she has been raising three children alone for so many years?

Thinking of this, he felt guilty and said with difficulty, "Yan Ling, thank you for your hard work over the years. I'm back!"

She thought she would face hysterical curses or all the bitterness she had felt over the years, but when Lai Yanling saw how much he had aged, the resentment in her heart disappeared.

I also know that he has his own dreams. He doesn't say it or ask. He won't let her down or the children down. All this is enough.

Of course, he didn't look happy either, he just said calmly, "I'm glad you're back!"

Although Lai Yanling's expression was cold and her tone was indifferent, Song Yuanzhou knew it was just because they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years and they were a little unfamiliar with each other, but the feelings between the two remained unchanged.

Seeing her like this, I felt very uncomfortable.

“Yan Ling, you can beat me up, but as long as you don’t look cold, I won’t blame you no matter what happens.

Also, I will not leave this time. My work has been completed. I will continue to teach at school and stay by your side every day."

But he didn't respond to him in a friendly way, and said coldly again, "We'll talk about this later. Do you want to tell the children that you're back?

The eldest daughter will definitely be fine, after all, you two haven't met yet. The two younger ones will definitely be very excited. They have admired you since they were little, and they will be very sad if you leave without saying a word."

Speaking of his three children, Song Yuanzhou also feels guilty for not accompanying them as they grow up. The two younger ones stayed with them for several years, but Song Zhiyao was taken away by mistake at birth and helped the family after returning home.

I owe her the most. When I think about how smart and capable my eldest daughter is, I feel proud but also more guilty.

He felt that he could not escape and had to face what he had to face. Instead of hiding, he might as well make a decisive move. "I will go home with you now. When the children see me, you just stand aside and don't care what they say."

At that time, Song Zhiyao was in Longling Village, and Lai Yanling felt that it was not the right time and it would be better if all three children were at home.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Our eldest daughter has gone to the countryside for medical treatment. We can talk about this matter when she comes back. You should take this opportunity to reflect on how to get along with the children in the future."

After all, they are no longer children. They are now little adults with their own ideas. They are no longer the little brats who wanted their dads when they were young. "

Song Yuanzhou listened to Lai Yanling's words and nodded.

“Then I will live in a guest house for the time being. When I have time, I will go and see if there are any squad leaders who want to sell their houses. In addition to my salary and bonuses over the years, I have saved a lot of money, enough to buy a house for our family to live in.

When the other bonuses come in, I will buy a house for each of my children as compensation for their hard work over the years."

Seeing how thoughtful he was, Lai Yanling followed his lead. This was what he should do as a father.

After saying this, Song Yuanzhou looked at Lai Yanling again, took out a passbook from his pocket and handed it to her, "Yanling, this is all my savings over the years, you will keep it from now on, and you will be able to manage the money in the family."

Lai Yanling was not polite at all and put the passbook directly into her pocket. This was what she deserved. She had been taking care of three children alone over the years and running the household. Song Yuanzhou would also be under her control when he returned.

Seeing that he was so reasonable just like before and handed over his salary as soon as he got it, I was very satisfied and started asking about how he had been doing over the years.

He also picked out some things to say, saying that he only reported good news and not bad news. Lai Yanling saw how much weight he had lost and how much white hair he had, and she knew how difficult the task was to accomplish.

Otherwise he wouldn't have been gone for more than ten years. I suddenly felt sorry for him.

At this time, Song Yuanzhou placed one hand on her brow and stroked it gently, "Yanling, I don't like the way you frown. I hope you can always keep your brows relaxed."

Lai Yanling had always thought she was very strong, but at this moment she finally couldn't hold it back anymore. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she last cried, but she finally couldn't hold it back and started crying.

She cried and blamed Song Yuanzhou, "It's all your fault. If you were at home, would I worry so much? From now on, I will leave all the housework to you. You will take care of everything, big or small."
