Chapter 106: Bringing an Illegitimate Daughter Home [Three Watches]
In the study.
The floor lamp was on, casting a dim halo over the man sitting on the sofa on one side.
The slender fingers lined the wooden drone, and as the movement floated, shadows of different shades and shapes were cast on the wall, flickering one after another.
"Third master, the soup is ready. β
Chen Fei took the cooked soup and knocked three times on the half-open door.
After taking his eyes off the drone and falling on the figure at the door, Ling Xize said lightly, "Go and send two copies to the next door." β
"Yes. β
Chen Fei hurriedly responded, brought the soup in, and placed it on the coffee table.
Ling Xize's eyes swept across the bookshelf on the wall, his fingers rubbed the pattern at the bottom of the drone, Si Sheng's bright smile appeared in his heart, he suddenly remembered the promise of that set of books, the corners of his lips softened, and he called out Chen Fei, who was about to leave the study.
"Third Master, is there anything else?" Chen Fei's curious gaze came.
"Empty the fourth floor of the bookshelf. Ling Xize commanded.
"Oh, good. β
Chen Fei didn't know why, but nodded obediently.
*
The next day, early in the morning.
The familiar school, the mottled walls, the history of climbing over the wall last week because of the imminent tardiness, repeats itself again.
Xiao Wei sighed heavily and resignedly.
"Gone. β
Throwing down two words, Xiao Wei didn't need to be reminded by Si Sheng, carried his backpack, and took the initiative to pull the car door and walk down.
One is born, and the second is ripe.
Without even a pause, Xiao Wei stopped outside the wall, raised his eyes and saw that he had climbed over the wall in a few simple steps.
Si Sheng whistled and drove away without a trace of guilt.
Seeing the car go away, Xiao Wei grabbed his short hair depressedly, his hair was scratched a little messy, he didn't care, threw his backpack over his shoulder, and quickly left this dangerous area.
"Xiao Shun!"
Rounding the corner to the boulevard leading to the teaching building, Xiao Yi heard the shouts from behind, his eyebrows suddenly tightened, and after a few seconds, he stretched out again.
I don't know if Si Sheng is toxic, every time she is sent to school, it is a process of climbing over the wall and meeting Teacher Ren.
"I've been thinking about it for a week, have you changed your mind?" Teacher Ren smiled when he saw him, smiling like a spring breeze, kind and gentle.
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
Xiao Wei's cold expression improved a little, he opened his mouth, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he remembered in his mind that when he asked about Si Fengmian's ancient mechanism last night, Si Fengmian sent a message-
"The ancient technique may have been lost, but as far as the part that has been preserved is concerned, it has developed to the present day as mechanical engineering. Moreover, many have improved. We also need this knowledge to make mechas, and if you want to study it, I can recommend some books on it. β
Ancient mechanical engineering, modern mechanical engineering.
The drawings and books he read over the weekend appeared one by one, which made Xiao Yi hesitate.
"If you don't veto it at the first time, it proves that there is a turnaround. Teacher Ren observed his words and looks, and his smile climbed behind his ears, and he suggested to Xiao Wei, "Why don't you think about it again?"
Xiao Shun is not a person who grinds.
Since he was tempted, there was no need to think about it again, so after thinking about it, he made a decision: "I promise." β
β......β
His refreshment surprised Teacher Ren, and he didn't react for a moment.
"Xiao Wei, class is about to start, what are you dragging Teacher Ren here?"
Wang Lin, who was shrewd and capable, put her high heels out of the momentum of running shoes, walked like running, pedaled and pedaled, and approached Xiao Shun directly with three or two steps.
Xiao reversed his figure and paused, turned sideways to see her approaching, his expression returned to his usual coldness and impersonal feelings, and he didn't greet her.
Seeing his cold and impolite appearance, Wang Lin became angry in his heart, and after glancing at Teacher Ren, he was embarrassed by the students in the class who did not give face, and mentioned the old things in a mean tone: "Has Si Fengmian's organ box been repaired? Si Fengmian is well cultivated, and he won't urge you, but it doesn't mean that this matter can be fooledββ"
"Give him back. β
β......β
Wang Lin, who was full of eloquence, was choked by Xiao Wei's understatement.
After a long while, she was stunned and surprised, and questioned herself, "You have repaired it?"
"You ask him yourself. β
Glancing behind Wang Lin, Xiao Wei squeezed the strap of his backpack tightly, turned around and left.
However, as soon as he took two steps, he was grabbed by Mr. Ren's arm, and Mr. Ren gave him a look and smiled.
He said three words with his mouth: wait, one, next.
At the same timeβ
"Teacher Wang, Teacher Ren. β
Si Fengmian, who arrived later, greeted the two teachers, and then fixed his eyes on Xiao Shun.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Teacher Ren, and the moment he met Teacher Ren's eyes, he revealed some doubts at the right time.
Teacher Ren bent his lips, and his face was unfathomable.
"Si Fengmian, that trap box, Xiao Wei has repaired it?" Wang Lin pushed his glasses and asked Si Fengmian with a serious expression.
"Hmmm......"
As soon as Si Fengmian wanted to nod, he heard Wang Lin say sharply: "I know that you have a good heart and don't care about these things, but on the matter, some people are not worthy of your protection." β
The meaning of the words is undoubtedly that the mechanism box has not been repaired, and if Si Fengmian responds positively, it is equivalent to a kind-hearted person who is excusing Xiao Wei.
Si Fengmian was stunned by Wang Lin's categorical attitude.
Co-authored this teacher from the bottom of his heart, he didn't believe that Xiao Wei could repair the trap box?
"Could it be that Teacher Wang misunderstood something?" Teacher Ren took a step forward, blocking Xiao Shun, and met Wang Lin's sharp gaze with a smile on his face, "I also know about the trap box, and I heard that it was repaired last week." He also brought it to the school and gave it to their team to study. β
Unexpected response.
Wang Lin's face stiffened, and his face was a little unbearable, "Didn't you say that it couldn't be repaired?"
Teacher Ren smiled and asked, "Who did Teacher Wang listen to?"
Wang Lin's lips pursed and she didn't speak.
That time I called the parents, and after Si Sheng and Xiao Shun left, there were people talking in the office.
According to the analysis of the teacher who has seen the machine box, it takes professional knowledge to make this, and even they dare not guarantee that it can be repaired, let alone Xiao Wei. Between the lines, the meaning is that Xiao is not good at cultivating.
Xiao Shun's grades are average, except for fighting, he has no strengths, and in Wang Lin's opinion, he is useless. Naturally, without seeing the result, he took the lead in sentencing Xiao Wei to death.
Si Fengmian glanced at Xiao Shun, who was standing quietly on one side with an indifferent expression, and took the initiative to help: "Teacher Wang, Xiao Shun is really repaired. If you don't believe me, I can bring the school tomorrow. β
One or two said so, Wang Lin knew that the matter was not far away, although she doubted how Xiao Shun repaired it, but obviously, she couldn't make a fuss about it anymore.
"No, no. Just fix it. Wang Lin pushed her glasses and pretended to be calm and serious, but her confidence was always a little weaker.
"That's right, Mr. Wang," Mr. Ren patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder with a spring breeze on his face, "You also know about Si Fengmian's team's participation in the IS robot competition." The team has been lacking a computer talent, and we have negotiated with Xiao Wei before, and our team hopes that Xiao Wei can participate, but Xiao Wei is focused on his studies and did not agree, so he didn't tell you in advanceββ"
After some hypocritical and flattering words, Wang Lin, Xiao Wei, and Si Fengmian's eyes all hit Teacher Ren.
The eyes of the three people all have different meanings.
Wang Lin was simply shocked, Si Fengmian was depressed and hadn't heard of it at all, as for Xiao Shun...... It's purely because of Mr. Ren's ability to pull calves.
After a pause, Teacher Ren smiled more gently, "With the consent of Xiao Yi, from today onwards, he will join our team to conduct robot research together." β
Wang Lin was stunned for a few seconds.
Then, her questioning gaze swept around Xiao Ying's body a few times, and asked in a suspicious tone, "Just him?"
When the words landed, the faces of the three people present changed.
Xiao Yi lifted his eyelids, still indifferent; Si Fengmian frowned, quite disgusted by Wang Lin's questioning; as for Teacher Ren, after a pause, the smile on his face was like a spring breeze, and it was a little colder.
"Teacher Wang, as the head teacher, doesn't know Xiao Shun's strength, it seems that he is a bit derelict in his duties. β
Teacher Ren's tone was cool, although he said it tactfully, but Wang Lin was still keenly aware of the dissatisfaction.
Wang Lin pursed her lips.
This teacher Ren came out of Feng University, and then went abroad to study for a master's degree and doctorate, and after returning to China, he went headlong into the education of the motherland. Professional knowledge is reliable, good-looking, personality is liked by parents, teachers, and students, and it is said that the family background is not ordinary.
Wang Lin was first slapped in the face for the organ box, and then was ridiculed by Teacher Ren in a roundabout way, and was unwilling, but he didn't dare to tear his face with Teacher Ren in person.
I can only swallow this breath in my stomach.
"Jingle bellβ"
At that time, the class bell rang, dissipating the embarrassing atmosphere of the four people.
Teacher Ren turned around and softened his smile, "It's class, you two should come into the classroom." Have a small meeting after school, Captain, you organize. β
"Hey. β
Si Fengmian nodded, walked to Xiao Shun's side, pulled his arm, and gave him a look.
The two of them walked quickly in the direction of the school building.
"Our team has been lacking a computer player, some time ago Mr. Ren said that he found it, and he was still negotiating, but I didn't expect it to be you. Si Fengmian patted Xiao Wei's shoulder.
Pushing his hand away, Xiao asked suspiciously, "You don't know?"
"Ah, I just knew. β
Xiao Wei narrowed his eyes, the slender tails of his eyes only added a little coolness, and he paused word by word, "The last time you invited me, you came for my sister, right?"
β......β
Si Fengmian was dumbfounded for a moment, avoiding Xiao Wei's gaze for a moment.
It was precisely because of this momentary small action that undoubtedly confirmed Si Fengmian's careful thinking.
When he invited Xiao Shun, he really didn't have any hope for Xiao Shun's ability, mainly because of Xiao Shun's sister...... Through his observation, Sister Xiao Wei is by no means an idle person, if Xiao Wei joins the team, maybe he can find an excuse to communicate with Sister Xiao Wei at that time.
Unexpectedly, he was recognized by Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei's fingers clenched into fists, consternation and depression intertwined, and finally condensed into one sentence-
A good-looking woman really doesn't make people worry.
The index finger scratched the tip of his nose, Si Fengmian coughed lightly, and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, "Are you not interested in your sister at all?"
"Not interested. β
Xiao Wei raised his legs and stepped forward, striding forward, leaving Si Fengmian behind.
β......β
Si Fengmian lowered his head in annoyance and helplessness.
This is miserable, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to contact Sister Xiao Wei again in the future......

Chengchuan Hospital, Inpatient Department.
Inside the ward, the doors are closed, and the windows are open to allow fresh air to pour in.
Si Sheng sat on the bench next to the hospital bed, elbows against his knees, slowly peeling oranges.
Yi Zhongzheng spread out the drawings, tremblingly holding a pen and ruler, wearing reading glasses, and tracing the lines little by little.
"I'll go to Si's house tonight. β
With the sound of orange peels being thrown into the trash, Si Sheng finally spoke the first words after entering the ward.
The refill rubbed on the drawing, and with a little force, the refill was disconnected, and the lines flew out diagonally, rampage in the lines of the precision plate, and almost flew out of the paper.
Yi Zhongzheng put down the pencil, tilted his head, and looked at her in silence.
She peeled off the oranges, tore them off one by one, and put them in her mouth, eating them indifferently, as if they had been forced into them.
"Did you contact Si Shangshan?"
"Hmm. β
"How long are you going to stay?"
"It depends on the mood. β
Si Sheng's tone was as lazy and casual as ever.
"The people on the Si family's side, if they don't provoke you, don't take the initiative to provoke them. Yi Zhongzheng's tone was slightly deep, and he instructed slowly and logically.
But halfway through the conversation, Yi Zhongzheng suddenly changed his words, and his voice was less weak and more strong, "But if they provoke you and provoke you, don't bear to let them, just fix it as you want." β
A petal of orange came to his mouth, stopped, Si Sheng's eyebrows raised, and he smiled, "You said it." β
Yi Zhongzheng leaned back on the pillow, slowly squinting his eyes, his face was old, but every line and fold of the years had a sharp edge that seemed to be there.
"Hmm. β
Answered inaudibly.
The thin lips opened slightly, and Si Sheng thought of the old hall master of Baixiaotang, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly, but in the end, he didn't say anything and threw the orange in his mouth.
After a while, Yi Zhongzheng spoke again, "Your grandfather Wang is hospitalized, I'll go see him later." β
Reaching out to get the new orange, Si Shenghu looked at it suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter?"
Grandpa Wang has always been in good health, and when he came to the hospital, in addition to visiting Yi Zhongzheng, he had regular physical examinations.
The last time I went to get the drawings for Yi Zhongzheng, Si Sheng also met him in the alley, his spirit was good, and his body was as tough as ever.
"I was angry with his daughter, suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and was rescued. β
At the mention of this, Yi Zhongzheng became angry, and his tone was quite stiff.
Si Sheng was slightly stunned, "Just his daughter who resolutely cut off relations with her family after marrying into a wealthy family?"
Yi Zhongzheng's eyelids lifted, his dark eyes rolled slightly, and he glanced at Si Sheng coldly.
Si Sheng was silent.
Although Si Sheng was only one or two years old at the time of the incident, Si Sheng grew up in the alley since he was a child and knew some things.
Grandpa Wang is a widower, and he has not married since the death of his wife, and he lives with his only daughter.
daughter Wang Qinghuan is a competitive person, but she is also a conscienceless person. Relying on excellent grades to be admitted to the top universities in China, and later had to study abroad, Grandpa Wang's family background was limited, smashed the pot and sold iron, took out all his savings, and borrowed some from neighbors, and finally let her come back with a layer of gold plated outside.
However, it was not a sensible and filial daughter who went bankrupt and got it back.
Xu has endured enough hardships in the hutongs, Wang Qinghuan studied hard and studied abroad, in order to marry into a wealthy family and become a "master" and stay away from the bitter life of poverty. She also succeeded, and successfully completed the transformation of a local chicken into a phoenix, but since then, she has cut off contact with Grandpa Wang.
It is rumored that she set up a "self-reliant and self-reliant orphan" for herself, in order to protect people, she can't recognize Grandpa Wang's father.
The daughter was willing to be an orphan, and Grandpa Wang was hit and decadent for a while, but then he cheered up and opened a fruit shop to make a living.
"The wealthy family she married went bankrupt?"
After holding back for a long time, Si Sheng popped out another untimely sentence.
β......β
Yi Zhongzheng looked at her with complicated thoughts.
He was always speechless for his granddaughter's underwhelming mouth, and was once amazed at how Si Sheng had survived the beating of society over the years, and lived with sound limbs and alive until now.
He spoke, "Your grandfatherβ"
"Si Mingsheng. β
I don't know why Yi Zhongzheng pulled out this head, Si Sheng didn't think much about it, so he interrupted him.
The tone was cold and hard, like a hard stone in the snow and ice.
This time, Yi Zhongzheng didn't train her, but said from kindness: "Si Mingsheng has a birthday, Wang Qinghuan wants your grandfather's golden cicada as a birthday gift." β
I see...... Si Sheng smiled, "Heh, the face is so big." β
Grandpa Wang has a golden cicada, which is said to have been handed down from his ancestors, which is extremely precious, and is usually hidden like a treasure. Over the years, Si Sheng has only seen it once or twice.
It is said that when Grandpa Wang smashed the pot and sold iron to send his daughter abroad, he was reluctant to sell this golden cicada, which can be said to be treated as fate, and now Wang Qinghuan wants to give this golden cicada as a gift...... Don't you want Grandpa Wang's life?
"Your grandfather Wang is going to be hospitalized for observation, and in the past few days, you go to help him watch the fruit shop. Yi Zhongzheng commanded lightly.
Didn't say a word, not even a hint of a look.
However, Si Sheng heard something else from his unfathomable tone, and immediately understood, "Oh." β
As soon as she finished her head, Si Sheng felt that Yi Zhongzheng glanced at her coldly, and a touch of coolness passed through her heart, and she quickly thought of "going to work", and her expression changed slightly.
However, Yi Zhongzheng just glanced at it twice and then withdrew his gaze, without poking or blaming.
Si Sheng did not take the initiative to confess.
The two of them tacitly agreed.
If it was yesterday, Si Sheng might have been surprised by Yi Zhongzheng's temptation of her "financial work" and his silence after seeing through it. But after learning that Yi Zhongzheng and the old hall master were old acquaintances, he quickly accepted it.
Maybe Yi Zhongzheng didn't know it at first, but if you think about the name of their company carefully and have a little in-depth understanding, it is easy to get involved with "Baixiaotang".
What's more, the granddaughter he knows is by no means a person who will keep to herself and work from 9 to 5.
As for whether he knew that he was the head of the hall......
Let's talk about it.
......
didn't leave after reading Yi Zhongzheng as usual.
Si Sheng first went to visit Grandpa Wang, and then found a hospital to arrange for Grandpa Wang and Yi Zhongzheng to live together, so that the two old men could get together and chat to relieve boredom.
And, originally she wanted to talk to Yi Zhongzheng about "discharge", but due to Grandpa Wang's accidental hospitalization, she was postponed for the time being.
After handling the formalities, Si Sheng returned to the ward, and when he pushed the door, he saw that there was one more person inside.
Ling Xize occupied her stool, sitting next to the hospital bed, with a trash can at his feet, he held a pencil in one hand and a razor blade in the other, his eyes slightly lowered, and he was sharpening the pencil intently.
Yi Zhongzheng was in good spirits, and while talking to Ling Xize in a low voice, he continued to create on the drawings.
What a picture of "grandfather's kindness and filial piety".
"Coming back?"
Hearing the movement of the door being pushed open, Yi Zhongzheng raised his eyes and looked back, and the kindness of his eyebrows and eyes decreased a lot.
οΌ
Si Sheng felt that he had been invisibly poured a sour vinegar.
Yi Zhongzheng didn't notice it, and directly notified: "I just told Xi Ze that he will accompany you to see the fruit shop tomorrow." β
Si Sheng's eyebrows twisted, "Why?"
"Let him watch the dots, so that he doesn't have to go to the police station to catch you. β
β......β
Be at the end of one's forbearance.
Si Sheng's cold-eyed knife swished towards Ling Xize, who was suspected of arranging himself behind his back, Ling Xize raised his eyes and laughed silently.
In an instant, Si Sheng's unhappiness disappeared without a trace.
*
The first attached middle school.
During the lunch break, there are few people left in the classroom, and they are generally brushing questions, lecturing, and sleeping, only the whispered communication and the rustle of writing come and go, which is exceptionally quiet, in stark contrast to the noisy playground outside.
On weekdays, Si Fengmian belongs to the playground, but today, he has to sit in his seat and sort out materials for Xiao Yi, a new classmate who joined the team.
The mobile phone in the belly of the table rang in vain.
The pen that rotated between his fingers stopped, Si Fengmian stretched out his hand into the belly of the table, touched the mobile phone and took it out to take a look.
[Si Xiang]: Xiao Mian, did Dad tell you to go back tonight?
A line of words came into view, and Si Fengmian was slightly stunned, recalling the situation before going out.
Si Shangshan, who never cared about them, specially found him early in the morning and asked him to come back tonight.
The school does not stipulate that the first and second years of high school live on campus, but he is busy with competitions and a series of robot things, the time is very tight, and the atmosphere at home is cold, he doesn't like to stay, so he just entered high school and handled accommodation. Unless there is really something at home, or the priest wants to go home, he usually doesn't return on weekdays.
[Si Fengmian]: Well, he confessed.
[Si Fengmian]: There is a big announcement?
[Si Xiang]: I just heard from my mother that my father was going to bring an illegitimate daughter home.
Si Fengmian's action of grabbing the mobile phone froze in vain. Mobile phone users please browse and read, and a better reading experience comes from Aiwang.
