"That's how it is."
Chen Lie sat before his parents and explained everything one by one, using time as a thread. "Now, if you have any questions, you can ask."
Chen's father and mother didn't interrupt him from the beginning. They waited until he finished speaking and remained silent.
After a long while, Father Chen spoke up, "Is there any possibility of leaking any of your work secrets?"
In the 1980s, various crimes sprang up like mushrooms after rain, and "espionage" was one of them.
if……
Father Chen looked at his tall and steady son and spoke slowly, "If this is possible, I will not protect you. I hope you can understand."
The country's peace was hard-won, and he would not allow anyone to destroy the hard work of his dead comrades.
"Dad." Chen Lie's eyes flashed with helplessness. "You taught me to be vigilant since I was a child. I have never forgotten this."
"That's good." Father Chen nodded, feeling relieved. "I don't have anything else to ask."
As long as it does not violate the law or indirectly facilitate others to commit crimes, my son is free to do whatever he wants.
He raised his chin and nodded towards his wife, indicating that she could ask anything.
Mother Chen hesitated again and again, then asked cautiously, "Do you like this now?"
As soon as the question came out, people started to feel uneasy.
She couldn't help but feel uneasy. Back then, it was really too—
Chen Lie lowered his eyes in thought, then raised them after a moment. “She and I only met on the day we got our marriage certificate, so I didn’t have a deep impression of her. After I came back, I found out that she…”
He straightened his back and chose his words carefully. "Sometimes it's... unexpected."
Yes, it was unexpected.
Sometimes, Chen Lie felt that Su Qinghu was about to blush, but the next second, she would say something that would make him blush and feel excited...
Even though I knew those words were exaggerated, I felt inexplicably happy about them.
Chen Lie couldn't think of a more appropriate description, so he could only try to get as close as possible.
After asking that question, Chen's mother kept paying attention to her son's reaction. When she saw a smile in his eyes, her heart relaxed, but then tightened again.
It’s good to like it, but what if?
Nowadays, there are countless people who want to go abroad, and they are willing to do almost anything to get a visa.
Will such a beautiful, interesting girl with excellent college grades be caught up in the trend of going abroad?
By then, will my son still be able to remain calm and composed like he was during this divorce?
"Can you live a good life with us?" This girl sounds very outstanding.
Chen Lie smiled but said nothing.
Just as Chen's mother was about to continue asking, she heard a knock on the door, followed by the voices of Dadan and Erdan calling "Grandpa and Grandma".
Father Chen stood up and said, "I'll go open the door, you guys continue chatting."
Mother Chen stood up and sat down again, glanced at her son's expression, and seeing nothing unusual, she smiled and looked towards the door.
"Grandma!" Erdan rushed over and hugged Chen's mother. "Grandma, are you feeling better?"
Mother Chen touched his head and said worriedly, "What should I do? Why aren't you growing taller?"
Erdan instantly became dispirited.
"Grandma." Dadan called out, and out of the corner of his eye he looked for Chen Lie. Seeing him sitting there, he took two steps at a time and walked over, "Dad, there are too many coal briquettes at home. We can't move them all."
When Chen Lie heard the word "coal briquettes", he understood. The coal briquettes had been moved and arranged in the morning, and he was blinking while talking, obviously trying to hint at him.
Kid, something's wrong.
"Coal briquettes? Weren't they just done this morning? My hands are still black from moving the briquettes." Erdan poked his head out of Chen's mother's arms and said, "Brother, it's only been a few hours."
Isn’t my brother very forgetful?
Because of Erdan's words, the whole living room fell into a strange silence.
Dadan lowered his head.
"Go ahead." Chen Lie rubbed his head, "Don't be afraid."
Even if he said something wrong, he would correct it.
“…”
Dadan didn't want to talk anymore.
Telling such bad-mouthing to one person is completely different from telling it to a group of people.
"Since the child doesn't want to speak in front of everyone, don't force him. Take him to the study and you two can talk." Father Chen waved his hand and urged the two to go quickly.
After everyone entered the study, Chen's mother asked, "What's wrong?"
Erdan was still confused, "What happened?"
My brother didn’t tell him why he came to see Dad.
"How's your mother? Is she good to you?" Seeing that her husband didn't object, Chen's mother asked directly, "Yes...how's your father?"
"He's very nice to me and my brother." Erdan scratched his head. "He's also very nice to our dad. He even cares about whether he's eaten, whether he's full, and whether he wants more."
They care about whether you have eaten enough and buy you food. Erdan feels that he has no choice.
"She bought food for me and my brother at the delicatessen, including beef and mutton!"
When talking about this, Erdan looked fascinated.
When is the next time we can eat meat?
Chen's father and mother looked at each other and thought that the girl sounded pretty good.
In the study, Dadan was explaining the facts and reasoning with Chen Lie.
"Dad, with a girl like her, no amount of money at home will be enough to support her."
"When I tried to persuade her, she just laughed. Her attitude was not proper at all!"
Speaking of attitude, Dadan got even more angry, "You're not even answering the question!"
Chen Lie listened with great interest. Seeing that he was about to explode with anger, he reached out and patted his head gently, saying soothingly, "It is our job as adults to support the family. Don't worry."
"Dad!" Dadan suddenly looked at Chen Lie. "She's used to a good life. What if she can't spend your money freely in the future? Won't she find someone else?"
The logic is correct, but it doesn't take human nature into consideration.
Chen Lie put his big hand on his shoulder and said, "Da Dan, when you encounter something, it's right to take one step and look three steps ahead, but don't assume everything will be the worst."
Big Egg didn't speak.
"A blessing in disguise. Do you know what this saying means?" Chen Lie asked.
Dadan nodded reluctantly, "...I know."
I knew it a long time ago.
He and his brother spent half of the money they earned from making gadgets on studying.
Although not much...
"Think about it carefully if you know. You're right, but to make the most accurate prediction, you need to consider many other factors."
Chen Lie led him out, the corner of his mouth raised, "Although she spends money wisely, it is mainly you who benefit."
Big Egg: ...But I don't want that much benefit...
"She must be..." Chen Lie mused, "touched by you."
"What?" Dadan was confused. "What moved me?"
"Hospital." Chen Lie reminded him and took his hand and walked towards the living room.
living room.
The conversation between Chen's father and mother and Erdan came to an end and they fell into silence. When they saw the two people come out, they suddenly came back to life.
"display!"
"display!"
"dad!"
Chen Lie paused, "What's wrong with you?"
The picture is inexplicably festive, and the restrained postures are all the same.
"Nothing, I just heard Erdan say how good his new mom is to him, buying him meat and giving him soda..." Mother Chen smiled, "She loves her child."
