306 If you dare to treat me badly in the future, I will let Chenchen ask his father to beat you up
Li Lifeng was probably in his early thirties. The snow and wind at the border were probably too strong, so the man's waist was not bent, but the frost was carved into his face.
The man in front of me looked several years older than his actual age.
The corners of his eyes are full of traces of time, but his gaze is firm and upright.
Su Taotao went over to greet him: "Hello, are you Comrade Li Lifeng?"
Li Lifeng's attention had already been attracted by the children in the car.
He half bowed and saluted Su Taotao politely and gratefully: "Hello, Director Su, I am Li Lifeng, thank you, thank you!"
On the way over, Xiao Lu told him the general situation.
I know that Su Taotao is Fu Zhengtu’s lover, and I also know that they are the ones taking care of Pangpang now.
Su Taotao smiled and nodded: "Come with me, Pangpang's legs are not fully healed yet, so it's not convenient for him to walk for the time being."
Li Lifeng had imagined the scene of meeting his son countless times along the way, but he never expected Su Taotao to bring him over to pick him up.
"Pangpang, your father is here." Su Taotao said.
Li Lifeng recognized Pang Pang at first sight. How could he not recognize his blood-related child?
Fatty pursed his lips and looked out curiously.
All he saw was a tall, dark-skinned man staring at him.
He tilted his head and frowned, and couldn't help thinking, although this man is tall, he is not as handsome as Chen Chen's father at all, can he be a good father?
"Chubby, good boy, I'm your dad." Thank God, the child grew up safely and looked very much like him, with a clear and pure gaze without a trace of gloom, which showed that he had not been raised in a wrong way.
"Pangpang, he is your father, you can ask anything you want. There are too many people here, Comrade Li, please get in the car first."
After Su Taotao finished speaking, she instructed Xiao Lu: "Xiao Lu will drive the car, Xiao Zhou will be the passenger, and Pang Pang will let Dad hold you in his arms."
Su Taotao walked to the other side and got on the bus. She moved Chen Chen's seat a little closer to the center and then secured it before sitting in.
Li Lifeng kept looking at Pang Pang with red eyes, not daring to move.
Su Taotao called him, "Comrade Li, get in the car."
Only then did Li Lifeng throw the bag behind him.
Pangpang moved inside, right next to Chenchen.
"Pangpang, let Comrade Li hold you. It's too dangerous to sit by yourself." Su Taotao knew that he was still a little resistant, so she simply stopped saying "Dad" and directly said "Comrade Li".
Pang Pang had a very strange feeling. He didn't have much feeling towards ordinary uncles, but towards this "father" who was obviously a stranger and whom he met for the first time, he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
At the same time, I felt inexplicably wronged.
He had never felt this way before.
I really want to disobey him, lose my temper, and ignore him...
Li Lifeng didn't say anything. After he sat down steadily, he held Pangpang on his legs with trembling hands, adjusted the position, and acted as a "human safety belt", locking Pangpang firmly in his arms.
After so many years of wandering, he felt for the first time a sense of security and stability as if he had returned to his roots.
This is his child, a blood-related child.
Li Lifeng's tears fell uncontrollably, he turned his head to the other side, and his tears quietly rubbed against his collar.
Su Taotao didn't say anything, but gave Xiao Lu a look from the rearview mirror that said "you can drive now."
"Everyone, get seated. The car is about to start driving," said Xiao Lu.
Chen Chen tilted his head to examine Li Lifeng, and suddenly asked: "Uncle, you must have taken a longer train ride than my dad did last time."
Li Lifeng recognized at first glance that this clever and handsome child was Fu Zhengtu's son.
He had heard his voice on the phone. This kid combined the best qualities of Engineer Fu and Director Su, and he looked really good.
"You are Pangpang's good friend, Chenchen, right? How do you know that I have been on the train for a long time?" Li Lifeng's voice was a little rough, probably due to long-term dehydration.
He tried to speak as softly as possible, but he was still worried that he would scare the children.
Chenchen wrinkled his nose and said, "Because you stink more than my dad. My dad said that you can't take a shower on the train. The longer you stay, the stinkier you get~~"
Su Taotao: “…” He held his forehead.
"Pfft..." Xiao Lu couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, I felt that I shouldn’t have apologized again: “Sorry, sorry…”
After Chen Chen finished speaking, he asked Su Taotao: "Kesu Mama, why didn't the train stink last time we took it~~"
"Because when you stink yourself, you can't smell other people's stink anymore." Su Taotao had no choice but to join if she couldn't beat them.
Li Lifeng doesn't look like a shy person, so he shouldn't be embarrassed by the child's childish remarks.
"Ah~~" Chen Chen nodded slowly, "Fatty, why don't you say anything? Are you fainted by the smoke~~"
Pangpang felt dizzy, but not because of the smoke, but because...it was hard to explain, but he couldn't smell anything bad.
He shook his head: "No."
Chenchen tilted his head and said, "Uncle, your son Zundu is a fat dad~~"
Li Lifeng nodded and held Fatty's hand a little tighter: "Yes, it's genuine."
Chenchen turned to look at Pangpang: "Pangpang, you want to know why your dad lost you, so hurry up and ask questions~~"
Fatty shook his head slightly, he didn't know what to say to him.
Chenchen went to see Li Lifeng again: "Uncle, why did you lose Pangpang? It's been so long, why did you come to find him now? Pangpang was beaten by the bad aunt and he didn't even have a full meal. He's so pitiful~~"
The tears that Li Lifeng had managed to force back suddenly welled up again.
"Uncle, it wasn't intentional. I was in a very bad situation back then and had to go to a very far place for rehabilitation.
The climate there is terrible, with strong winds and sandstorms, and many adults cannot survive. If we bring Pangpang with us, he may not survive either.
So I had to entrust someone else to take care of him for a while. The incident happened suddenly and she was the only person I could trust at the time, but I entrusted her to the wrong person and Pangpang suffered."
Li Lifeng regretted it, but he did not make excuses for himself. In fact, he went to the border with the intention of never returning.
He had already let his child down and could no longer lie to him. He would rather his child resent him.
"After I settled down, I kept looking for Pang Pang, but unfortunately I couldn't contact the person I entrusted him to. It wasn't until your father recognized Pang Pang and contacted me that I knew Pang Pang was here."
As Li Lifeng spoke, he couldn't help but rub his face against the top of Pang Pang's head again and again:
"I'm sorry, Pangpang. Dad is late. I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."
Pangpang pursed his lips, lowered his head, and tears fell one by one.
Chenchen rarely saw an adult crying so hard. He thought he had accidentally made the other person cry and looked at Su Taotao blankly.
Su Taotao touched Chen Chen's head and shook her head at him.
In fact, outsiders like them didn't know what to say about this matter, but after Chenchen asked this question, it would be easier to handle if they talked about the matter openly.
"Uncle, don't cry. Pangpang is fine now~~" Chenchen said.
"Don't cry, Fatty. You've always wanted a good dad like mine, so just ask me to be a good dad in the future."
Li Lifeng nodded continuously: "Chenchen is right. I will definitely work hard to learn to be a good father in the future and will not let Pangpang suffer again."
"Yeah," Chenchen nodded, and then said to Pangpang, "Don't worry, Pangpang, he has a good attitude towards learning. When I go back, I'll let my dad teach him how to be a good dad. This way, you will have a good dad soon~~"
Su Taotao found a clean towel and asked Chenchen to pass it to Pangpang.
"Pangpang, you should be happy that you found your daddy. Don't cry anymore."
Fatty sniffed and nodded: "Hmm..."
"If you dare to treat me badly in the future, I will let Chenchen ask his father to beat you up. Uncle Fu is so powerful!" Pangpang finally spoke to Li Lifeng.
Li Lifeng was overjoyed, and he held Fatty's arm tightly and said, "Okay, okay, beat me, beat me..."
