The next day.
Xie Zhengchuan got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast, but when he entered the kitchen, he saw his two sons, Li Dan and Tie Dan, each wearing an apron, busy in the kitchen.
"Hey! The sun is rising from the west. Why are the two young masters up so early? Look, look, what delicious food has our young master made?"
Xie Zhengchuan looked at his two sons. Although they were busy cooking, the distressed expressions on their faces were still obvious. Thinking about what his wife said last night, he couldn't help but teasing his two sons.
Li Dan and Tie Dan were both concentrating on cooking with sad faces when they suddenly heard their father's voice and were startled.
"Hey, Dad, why didn't you make any noise when you came over? You scared me." Li Dan complained.
"That's right. And what do you mean by young master or young master? Why do I feel like you are just looking at the joke between us two brothers?"
Xie Zhengchuan held a clay pot of vegetable porridge and said, "Get rid of your feelings. I just want to see you two make fun of each other. You little bastards, it's fine if you hide it from your mother, but you also hide it from your father. You are really stupid. Joining the army and going to the police academy are both good things. Your father joined the army first and then became a police officer. How can I stop you?"
When Xie Zhengchuan put the casserole porridge on the dining table, Li Dan glanced at him and said, "Dad, let me make it clear first, it's not that I don't believe you, but you are too obedient in front of your mother. You always say that you are the head of the family. We brothers can see who is the boss of our family. Telling you is the same as telling mother, and you may get yourself out first."
Xie Zhengchuan glared at him with his tiger eyes and said, "Hey~, you little bastard."
"Hey, Dad, I think so too."
"Hmph, you know nothing. I'm not afraid of your mother. I respect her. She has been very sincere to you, me, and your grandparents since she married into our family. You can't let her suffer any injustice. I'm setting an example for you. When you get married, you have to treat your wives like this."
The two sons' faces turned red when they were talking about their daughter-in-law.
"Dad, we are still young!"
"that is."
Xie Zhengchuan brought another plate of pickled vegetables and a plate of poached eggs and said, "Little bastard, your uncle was about to get married when he was your age."
"Yes, yes, you are right. Well, Dad, how can we calm Mom down? Can you give me some advice?"
"That's right, that's right. Mommy listens to you the most. If you can coax her into talking, Mommy won't be angry anymore."
Xie Zhengchuan pretended to sigh and said, "Do you think I didn't persuade you? I saw your mother was too tired yesterday, so I didn't dare to say anything, cough cough... But when she woke up, I persuaded her a lot. It's a pity that your mother has accepted Si Li and almost didn't eat the dinner made by Baoya. But don't blame her, she is just worried about you. She has often quarreled with the army and the government these days. She knows that these two are difficult and dangerous, so she can't bear to let you go, especially Li Dan. You don't know that when you were kidnapped, your mother was like crazy, looking for you all over the street. At that time, she didn't know how many enemies there were. If someone was watching her, she would be in trouble! But she ignored her own safety and even insisted on saving you herself. Who else can do this!"
Xie Zhengchuan's words made the parents who were smiling and asking him about his children suddenly lose their smiles, especially Li Dan. He joined this big family later, but since he came to the Xie family, everything he ate, wore and used was good.
During that kidnapping, he didn't dare call his parents. He was afraid that they would come, but he also wanted them to come. But when his mother really came, he regretted it so much that he wished he could die rather than implicate his mother.
After surviving the disaster, he just wanted to be a good filial son to them. However, it was also because of the kidnapping that he knew the responsibilities of a policeman. He respected this profession and wanted to be one of them. All of them were working towards this goal, but his mother disagreed. He knew that she was afraid that something would happen to him, but he couldn't give up.
The same goes for Tiedan. His father is a hero and he wants to continue this glory and become an excellent soldier. Grandpa Chen has said that he is a good candidate for military service.
But his mother raised him and brought him up. Whenever he had a headache or a fever, his mother would stay with him all night, fearing that something might happen to him. On that rainy night, his father was not home, and she rode her bicycle to carry him to the hospital. The rain was too heavy and they both fell to the ground. It was his mother who picked him up at the first time and carried him all the way to the hospital. When he recovered, his mother caught a bad cold.
There are countless things like this. Does he really want to disappoint and make his mother suffer for an empty dream?
Xie Zhengchuan looked at his two sons who fell into deep thought because of what he said. He felt a little worried. Did he give too much medicine? These two children didn't look like they would give up on them so easily.
But if he really gave up, I'm afraid his wife would be really angry. He thought for a moment and said, "Don't think too much. I'm going to go back to my hometown with your mother today. It just so happens that both of you are here now, so come with us!"
"Okay, Dad, should I go call Mom for dinner?"
"I...I want to go too."
Xie Zhengchuan frowned and said, "Go if you want to, you useless bastards, do you think your mother will still eat you?"
"Hehe..." Li Dan and Tiedan looked at Xie Zhengchuan and smiled before turning around and going upstairs.
The two people grumbled in their hearts: Eating them is impossible, but ignoring them is very possible. Dad's words just now were so tough that they almost forgot who they were talking to so cautiously yesterday at noon. Why did he still scold them for being useless?
The two walked to the door of Su Li's room and looked at each other. Li Dan coughed and raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Mom, are you up? My second brother and I made breakfast. Please come down and have some!" After saying that, there was no sound from inside. Li Dan couldn't help but put his ear close to the door.
"Yes! Mom, we must eat breakfast. Didn't you teach us this since we were young? Mom?" Tiedan also said, sticking to the door.
After the two of them finished talking, there was still no sound, and they became a little anxious, thinking that something had happened to Su Li. When they were about to push the door open, Su Li opened the door from the inside. The two did not expect the door to open suddenly, and they leaned forward and almost fell to the ground.
"What are you two doing sneaking around like that?"
"No, I didn't do anything." Li Dan touched the hair on the back of his head awkwardly.
Tiedan looked up at Su Li with a guilty conscience but said nothing.
"Let's go downstairs to eat." Su Li said and turned around and went downstairs.
The two of them instantly became happy when they heard that she was willing to eat.
Su Li noticed the brisk footsteps behind her. She couldn't help but reflect on whether there was something wrong with her education that made the children respect and fear her.
In fact, it was wrong for Su Li to think like this. As Xie Zhengchuan said, they just cared about her too much.
After the three of them went downstairs, Xie Zhengchuan, Baoya, Hu Zi and the others were already sitting at the table waiting for dinner. Su Li glanced around and said,
"Isn't that brat Jingyu awake yet?"
Shitou said, "Well, I caught Mom Jingyu secretly playing the video game late last night. You guys have to talk to him."
Shitou betrayed his brother without any hesitation, but Huzi looked at him with some doubts, so he whispered to him, "Didn't you say you two were going to discuss how to make mom happy? You dog, you lied again and made me wash the dishes twice."
"Mom, my third brother called me a dog."
When Shitou said this, Su Li and Xie Zhengchuan stared at Hu Zi.
Hu Zi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, I...I didn't curse."
Su Li sighed and turned away. How come this child becomes less clever as he gets older?
"If he doesn't get up, then just ignore him. Let's eat first. After dinner, you can go do your own things. Li Dan and Tie Dan, come with me and your dad to our hometown to visit your grandparents."
"Oh, ok."
"Mom, I want to go too." said Hu Zi.
Su Li stretched out her hand to stop him and said, "No, you don't want to."
