Children's likes and dislikes are pure and sensitive. Good or bad, hate or like, without human intervention, it is simple and clear.
Erdan talked endlessly about Su Qinghu.
From the simple instructions she gave them before rushing into the hospital, to the generous money she gave them to buy food in the hospital, to asking that "Liu Guifang" to apologize and even asking her to do work for them, and everything after Dad came back...
Everything is as lovely and charming as in the height of spring.
When Erdan saw her, he felt as if a beautiful oriole was singing a happy song in his heart.
In his eyes and heart, Su Qinghu is beautiful, and when he tells others about it, it is easy for them to empathize with her. Even if the words he uses to describe her are not so appropriate, his eyes fully make up for it.
This is what is meant by true feelings being the most touching.
Therefore, looking at the closed study door, Erdan and Chen's father and mother all had some wild thoughts.
Chen's parents were thinking about the problems their children were reporting, most of which were family-related. They wondered if they were telling their son about Su Qinghu...
As for Erdan, since he asked his brother what was wrong when he rushed out of the door but didn't get an answer, he was almost 80% sure that his brother was saying bad things about Su Qinghu to their father.
But between his brother and his new mother, he still stood on his brother's side.
So when Chen Lie came out, what you see are the almost synchronized expressions and movements of these three people.
After Chen's mother finished answering, Chen's father nodded. "From Erdan's description, this Comrade Su is a well-educated person."
When Dadan heard Chen's father praising Su Qinghu, he instantly came back to his senses from Chen Lie's suggestion of "I am moved by you" and looked at them with great energy.
She is well-educated, doesn't hit or scold anyone, and isn't sarcastic, but she doesn't know how to live!
"An Yan." Mother Chen waved, her eyes full of love. "Come here and let me see you."
After knowing what her ex-daughter-in-law had done, Chen's mother blamed herself and felt distressed. She felt sorry for the difficulties faced by the two children, and also felt sorry for Dadan who had to take on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother at such a young age.
In recent years, due to the requirements from above to cut down on bloat and streamline work, some changes have taken place in my work, and my days in the capital have become very few.
In the second half of last year, around the Lunar New Year, I was approved to return to the capital due to my age and health. However, by the time I actually got back to the capital, it was already after the Lunar New Year.
It has been just over three months since I returned to the capital.
As parents, they treat their children's families with tolerance and non-criticism as their guiding principle.
But the result... was not satisfactory.
"Grandma." Dadan walked over to Chen's mother. "Are you okay?"
Dad said that grandparents went to the sanatorium for recuperation, and he always remembered it.
"I'm in good health." Mother Chen touched his head, lovingly but also with guilt, "It's just that An Yan has worked hard for us."
"It's not hard." Dadan stood like a young poplar. "Grandpa, grandma and dad are the ones who have to work hard."
Others work hard for themselves, while my grandparents and father work hard for the people. They are different.
"Grandpa and grandma will be living in the capital for the rest of the time." Mother Chen looked at the children in front of her, the pain in her tone obvious. "Do you want to live with them?"
Dadan paused, his eyes slightly widening. He had never thought about this.
When I went to see Erdan again, he was also stunned. Didn’t he come here to find his father? Didn’t his father want them anymore?
"Dad—" Erdan opened his mouth several times before shouting, "Are you going to start your own family?"
Many people say that if their father remarries after the divorce, he will definitely learn from his experience and will not start a new family with these two burdens.
Now that dad has started a new family, does that mean he doesn’t want them anymore?
Dadan once thought about living with his grandparents, but when he learned that they were defending their country, he no longer wanted to do that.
If the question of whether to live with his grandparents or with Su Qinghu had been raised earlier, just two days earlier, he would definitely have chosen to live with his grandparents.
It’s no use now. Su Qinghu spends money without planning. He needs to watch her and talk to her about how to live.
"I want to live with Dad." Dadan gave Chen's parents a direct answer. "I'll bring my brother to visit you on the weekend."
Erdan glanced at his brother and quickly took his place, "I want to live with Dad, too!"
Living with his father means living with Su Qinghu, which is equal to what Erdan knows.
Chen Lie laughed and shook his head slightly, "Mom and Dad, you just need to take care of yourselves. Dadan and Erdan belong to my little family, so we'll take care of their upbringing."
This "we" refers to him and Su Qinghu.
"You guys, ah, that's not what I meant." Chen's mother sighed, "I thought that after all, I have experience in raising children, so I can take better care of the child."
She really didn't expect Erdan to be at that level.
Erdan blinked, his eyelashes wet, no longer showing the energy of the villain or playboy in the Hong Kong movies. He grabbed the corner of Chen Lie's clothes and pitifully asked him to confirm that he really didn't want to abandon them and live his own life.
"She agreed and was willing to accept two children." Chen Lie smiled, resting his big hand on Erdan's furry head, and said to the two elders, "I came back a little late, and it was after dinner when I got home. I happened to see the two children taking a bath, and the bath water was warm."
"She had just been discharged from the hospital that day, so the water wasn't heated by the sun." Chen Lie laughed as he sensed Dadan's gaze. "She had the two children boil water for her."
In summer, the bath water is warm, which shows the care for the child's health.
"She's a good person." This time it was Chen's father who spoke first. "You have to treat her well."
Erdan didn't mention this matter, probably because it was hot and he had enough energy, so he didn't care about hot or cold water, so he didn't mention it.
Chen's mother didn't expect that this young girl could do this.
"She wanted us to use honeycomb coal, but brother wouldn't let us." Erdan frowned, "She said we should save it for winter."
Making a fire is something you can do, and it doesn't count as child abuse!
But the older brother wasn't wrong either. "We don't have any tickets, and we don't have much money left. Dad's tickets won't be available until next month. What he said makes sense. We should save money so we don't get our hands cold in the winter."
Chen's parents were stunned. At first, their son said he was getting a divorce and didn't want anything back. They just regarded it as their due for taking care of the child. They thought it was the right thing to do and agreed with his behavior, but they didn't expect the dilemma he might face.
Mother Chen couldn't help herself for a moment, tears welled up in her eyes. She turned around and hurried to the bedroom. "Your father and I couldn't use up all the tickets we had before, so we sent most of them to..."
To put an end to the unpleasant experience, she said, "Your father and I still have some saved. I'll find it for you!"
Chen Lie hurriedly stopped her: "Mom, I have some! We actually brought back another truckload of honeycomb briquettes this morning."
But it’s too late to say anything now, Chen’s mother doesn’t believe it!
Erdan scratched his head. He didn’t quite understand what was going on!
