Chapter 68: Father
The tea boiled for three rounds, and Lin Ran couldn't remember how many waves of hot water had been added to the white porcelain cup in front of him, only knowing that his body had already drunk the heat, and the fragrance of the tea was about to soak into his limbs.
The mobile phone on the table rang at the right time, presumably because the negotiation on Su Qiming's side had temporarily ended.
Tangbei Yuben was still waiting for Lin Ran to answer the phone, but her mobile phone was also called in front and back, and it was her father's.
Glancing at the smiling man across the table, he pressed the answer button.
"Xiaoyu, let's go home for dinner tonight, I'll ask your mother to cook a few of your favorite dishes. ”
I knew that my father didn't mean this, but I remembered that I hadn't been home to visit the second elder for a long time, so I obediently agreed.
The time had reached more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the two hung up their phones and smiled at each other.
Lin Ran was bound to go with Su Qiming to receive Chen Ge, and a few people were afraid that they would have to drink until midnight, and the other party could guess whose call they answered, so the two of them had something to do in the next time.
Standing up, Tang Beiyu opened his mouth first: "You drink less, if you play too late, you will live with me first, there is a long time of sobering tea at home, you know where to put it, you can sleep at ease if I don't go back at night." ”
Lin Ran nodded, and agreed: "I don't have to say much about your family affairs, you just need to know that Senior Su and I are very optimistic about the prospects of this cooperation." ”
"This is not only a matter of whether you are optimistic or not, but also related to the direction of the transformation of the hospital, I can also guess that you must have invested money, maybe your uncles and aunts are also behind the support, but I still have to say one more thing, you two are still doctors. ”
After saying that, he waved his hand, took the lead in carrying the bag, and didn't look at Lin Ran's expression.
In fact, there is no need to say so much, since it is something that Su Qiming chooses, even if he is really not optimistic, he can only choose to support it with all his strength when there is no reason to persuade the other party to give up.
Since I was a child, I haven't been like this, thinking about being admitted to the same high school and the same university as him, and I've been chasing the footsteps of the "brother" in my parents' mouth.
My parents live in a slightly more remote place, and it is said that they are too old to stand the noise of the city center, but prefer places with little traffic and people.
The car sped along the elevated road, and the buildings of the city were left behind.
Since I accompanied my mother on a long trip in the spring, I haven't been back to Longquanyi for many months, and I have never even visited the newly opened Wuyue Plaza here.
My mother chattered several times, saying that the new commercial plazas here were all on the new brand, and she asked herself to go shopping together, but there were many things at hand, and the other party refused a few times in a row and didn't mention it.
Since graduating from college, the relationship between himself and his family has become weaker and weaker, although his father is very open-minded, and has always said that his daughter always has an independent time, but where is the bird not homesick?
In the summer, it gets dark late, and when I arrive at the community where my parents live, I can still see a faint sunset.
After rummaging through my bag for a long time, I remembered that the key had been left in the bedroom of the city house by myself, so I had to knock on the door with some shame.
The daughter who has not yet married is now even like a guest when she comes home.
Tang's mother didn't care about this, and hurriedly welcomed her in. Knowing that her daughter was going home, she hurriedly went out and bought a lot of dishes, and made a big table full of her tastes when she was a child.
Tang Beiyu looked at the dazzling array of dishes in the restaurant, and actually had the feeling of preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with his mother during the New Year.
It's a pity that the high temperature in June makes people sweat, and the nose and hairline are sticky, always reminding myself that this is not a reunion of the cold winter wax moon, but a return to the mission.
The old father sat on the sofa in the living room, still so old-fashioned, as if facing the weekly meeting of the children at school.
If it weren't for the gray hair born from the second elder's sideburns, Tang Beiyu would even have some illusions of going back to his teens, when he went to a boarding high school, and the most anticipated and feared thing every week was to go home on weekends.
The family has delicious meals that they have been waiting for for five days, but there are also serious fathers who only care about how many places they won in the last mock exam, and the slight frown that makes each reply they hear.
In my memory, there are very few times when my father smiles, and the most memorable time is the day I got the admission letter of the first medical university, the serious father unexpectedly drank with his friends until he was slightly drunk before going home, and he kept muttering that there was a successor to the Tang family.
She knew that her father was also a high-spirited doctor when he was young, and his medical skills and medical ethics were unique in Jincheng for a while, but later he disagreed with the leaders at that time and was stumbled, so he fell into a slump for a long time, and simply resigned from his job to open a small clinic on his own.
Then he was born, in order to let his daughter have a good growth environment, and the father of the year of his life devoted himself to his career, but he didn't expect it to be bigger and bigger, and turned the small clinic into the largest private general hospital in Jincheng.
My father undoubtedly loves me, but it is difficult to balance career and family, so my father was not very close to me since I was a child, and I once felt that my father was too strict when I was a child.
Tang Beiyu took a deep breath and called out to the man on the sofa: "Dad, I'm back." ”
"Well, your mother has been talking about you for a long time, and if there is nothing to do, she will come and see it in the future. Tang's father replied to his daughter's greeting, but refused to take his eyes off the newspaper in his hand.
In the hospital, he is a serious and serious Dean Tang, and he is also the biggest investor, Tang Beiyu rarely sees him, with the character of a girl, naturally he will not go around to promote that the dean is his father, so except for Su Qiming, who has a connection in his parents' generation, few people know about this father-daughter relationship between them.
But what Tang Beiyu sees now is not the Dean Tang who is not allowed to enter, but an old father who doesn't know how to face his daughter and has to pretend to be shy with indifference.
After chatting with her mother for a few more words, she simply went back to her room and changed into her home clothes, and took the initiative to sit next to her father: "Dad, didn't you ask me to come back, why don't you talk to me." ”
"What do I have to say to you little doll, I see, if it weren't for Xiao Su's matter, you wouldn't have run home so obediently. Father Tang touched his slightly gray hair and replied pretending to be serious.
Tang Beiyu saw his father's hand raised, probably wanting to hug him, and felt that his daughter was older, so such an intimate action was not very appropriate.
This man who is over half a hundred years old will be at a loss in front of his daughter, which is also cute.
took the initiative to reach out and put his arms around his father's neck, and said coquettishly: "Dad, don't open your mouth to be a matter of the hospital, it's rare for me to come back, can't you take it easy?"
Tang's father was stiffened by this sudden intimacy, and was stunned for a few seconds before raising his hand and patting his daughter's head: "Your mother and I are both old, in fact, we are more concerned about your lifelong events, you and Xiao Su have been for so many years, and there has been no progress, when will we be able to hold our grandson?"
