Duan Hong's question was asked very casually, and Qin Jian's answer was also relatively casual, he told Duan Hong that he was a native of Yangcheng.

Yangcheng is only the size of a small grain of rice on the territory of China, and the two naturally can't talk about flowers on this topic.

Even before the conversation between the father and daughter last night, Duan Hong didn't know that there was also a place called Yangcheng in the north.

Speaking of Qin Jian's side, when it comes to the problem of his hometown, he wants to determine one thing.

So he said, "Although Yangcheng is not big, the surrounding scenery is not bad, but naturally there is no way to compare with Kunshi." ”

Duan Hong smiled: "Small places also have the convenience of small places, when you are busy this year, there will be time for Duan Ran to take you back to Kunshi next year." ”

The word 'Hui' made Qin Jian hear something else, Duan Hong's words were tantamount to conveying a default attitude towards the relationship between the two, and at the same time, he was no longer confused when he asked where Duan Ran's hometown was.

Qin Jian raised his glass with both hands and toasted: "Thank you, Uncle Duan, I have always wanted to go there to see." ”

Duan Hong raised his glass and said cordially: "You're welcome." ”

After the second sip of wine, the waiter served the main course at the right time, and the conversation between the two returned to French food.

Eating and chatting, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more and more harmonious.

It was probably because Duan Ran had been deliberately avoiding family issues before, all of which caused Qin Jian a situation where her family was extremely discordant or had something unspeakable.

But through the contact with this meal from last night to this moment, Qin Jian felt that Duan Hong was a restrained and kind person.

However, he didn't think much about it or ask too much, after all, the other party's attitude towards himself was more due to Duan Ran's attitude towards him.

The conversation between the two of them also changed from music performance to music education.

Duan Hong: "Qin Jian, I heard Duan Ran say that your father and sister are both piano teachers. ”

Qin Jian put down the knife and fork in his hand with a smile, picked up a mouthcloth and wiped his mouth: "My dad is just a primary school music teacher, and he only started to contact doremi when he was a teacher. ”

"When I was younger, he took some piano students, but then my sister graduated from college and he stopped taking them. ”

There was a pause.

"My sister is in a similar situation, she worked for two years after graduating from university, and last year she re-enrolled in graduate school, and now she is working under Professor Dirlange Gate at the Eastman School of Music. ”

Moment.

"Then your father is a very good man. ”

This was the first reaction in Duan Hong's heart, he was also a person from that era, and he understood what the music courses in the normal school at that time were like, and it could be said that there was no professionalism at all.

It is absolutely remarkable that a music teacher in such a small place can raise such a pair of children.

"Your sister too, it takes a lot of courage to quit her job and go abroad. ”

Qin Jian said modestly: "Uncle Duan, you have won the award, but in general, my sister and I are indeed greatly influenced by our parents, and they have always guided and supported us to do what we want to do." ”

Duan Hong: "Does your mother also work in music?"

Qin Jian: "No, no, she is an ordinary worker, but she also likes to sing and dance, and recently took my dad downstairs to square dance." ”

When Duan Hong heard this, he thought it was very interesting and asked curiously, "Will your father go?"

Qin Jian recalled the phone call a few days ago and couldn't help but smile: "Go, my dad can't help it, for most of his life, they have always been like this, but I guess he is used to it." ”

In the words, there is a faint sense of happiness that people can't envy.

Amid the laughter, the two raised their glasses again.

After some conversations, Duan Hong had a thorough understanding of Qin Jian's family situation.

It was a surprise to him, but it wasn't that much of a surprise.

He had only heard Duan Ran say a few words before, after all, Qin Jian was his daughter's boyfriend, although he was far from the stage of talking about marriage, but as a father, he should have a certain understanding of the other party's family, especially the time that his daughter spent with the other party was not too short.

From Duan Ran's fragment narration, Duan Hong began to think that the family that could cultivate such a sister and brother should also be a family with a solid family background and a deep musical background.

However, listening to what the person concerned said today, he had a lot of respect for Qin Jian's parents.

This is where he was surprised.

What he wasn't so surprised about was that it seemed that under Qin Jian's simple description, everything should have been like this.

A harmonious atmosphere, a loving couple, a pair of motivated children, and a healthy family of origin.

Looking at Qin Jian's appropriate polite words and deeds tonight, the more Duan Hong looked at it at the moment, the more he liked it.

For a moment, he thought that if his daughter could live in such a family in the future, then as a father, he would be relieved.

Still as a father, he did not give his daughter a harmonious and loving home in the most important stage of her growth, so he selfishly hoped that this love that was missing from his daughter could be obtained in another family one day in the future.

Although he is now doing his best to make up for it, and although the family he lives in now seems to be becoming more and more harmonious, he still knows that for Duan Ran, this is just a reconstituted family.

A sigh.

Thinking of this, Duan Hong filled the wine glass again, he had always wanted to thank the young man in front of him for the changes that Duan Ran had made at home in the past year.

"Qin Jian, this glass of wine uncle respects you. ”

Duan Hong put away his smile, his expression was much more serious, Qin Jian saw this and hurriedly raised his glass and stood up, "Uncle Duan, you are..."

Duan Hong waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and then Qin Jian sat down honestly, but the wine glass in his hand was still held low.

"Thank you for taking care of Duan Ran for so long, you also know this girl's temperament," Duan Hong shook his head helplessly, "Sometimes the eldest lady doesn't care about anything when her temper comes up, of course, this is mainly our responsibility as parents." ”

Speaking of this, Duan Hong remembered Duan Ran's repeated admonitions to him last night - 'Don't mention your divorce.' ‘

After a pause, he said: "Although Duan Ran's child is sometimes a little twisted, he is by no means a vexatious girl, and I know this very well as a father. ”

"If there is any conflict between the two of you in the future, I hope you try to communicate with her as much as possible, I can see that this girl is now overly dependent on you, although this can sometimes be very troublesome for you, but she is already an adult, and sometimes we as parents don't say much, so please." “

Saying that, Duan Hong drank his full cup, and Qin Jian slowed down by half a minute and dried up the wine in his cup.

After a full cup of drinks, the atmosphere at the table became a little more eager.

Duan Hong said what he wanted to express, and Qin Jian also heard every sentence in his heart.

How to say it.

From the perspective of a junior, he heard the expectations of an elder.

From an objective observer, he heard a little helplessness from a father.

However, from that angle, he could understand the other party's mood at this time, so he felt that he should say something.
