Chapter 37: Migratory Birds Wait (2)
“...... Xiao Yan, what are you doing here, scare me!"
As soon as the man entered the door, he was startled when he saw a faintly sitting figure in the dark room.
Fortunately, he came back to his senses quickly and recognized that it was his own daughter, otherwise he would be embarrassed.
"Dad, didn't I wait for you to come back," Zhong Zhanyan rubbed his eyes sleepily, "It's too late for you to come back, you see, I originally lit the lamp, but now it's out of power." ”
When the man saw that his daughter was waiting for him to come home, he was both moved and embarrassed: "What are you waiting for me to do, you are still afraid that your father will not be able to be eaten, so if you are sleepy, hurry to sleep, don't wait." ”
"That's not good, I'll wait until this time, and I'll never go to sleep without asking why. ”
Zhong Zhanyan stood up and turned on the light, and went to wring a handful of wet towels and smacked them on his face.
- Hiss, chilling.
Well, I'm completely awake now.
Back in the hall, the man took off his coat and prepared to enter the kitchen.
"Eh, Dad, you haven't eaten outside?"
The little tail followed behind his father, watching him take out eggs and noodles, Zhong Zhanyan asked curiously.
"I didn't eat much, I'll cook some noodles, do you want it?"
"Wow, it just so happens that I'm hungry too, so dad don't add green onions. ”
Two bowls of noodles were quickly served on the table, and the father and daughter each had a bowl, sitting at the table and sucking.
"Dad's craftsmanship is so good. ”
Zhong Zhanyan praised while eating, his round eyes overflowing with joy and satisfaction.
"If you like it, eat more, there is nothing else at home, and the noodles are definitely enough. ”
"Uh-huh, Daddy is the best. ”
"Dad, let me ask you a question. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Dad, what have you been doing these days, why do you go out early and return late all day?"
“......”
Zhong Zhanyan saw that his father was silent for a long time and didn't squeak, so he immediately stopped eating, put down his chopsticks, stood up and supported the table with both hands, and leaned forward:
"Dad, you're not going to do anything bad, are you?"
Zhong Shukai was helpless: "No...... What bad things can your dad do? Don't guess. ”
"Well, if you go gambling or something, you can't say. Besides, if you don't do this, what are you doing every day?"
“......”
Zhong Shukai was speechless for his daughter's wide open mind, and choked for a long time before saying: "Anyway, if you don't make any bad things, you don't care." ”
"Dad!"
Zhong Zhanyan called him unhappily, his mouth pursed, and his eyes were filled with moisture: "You are not at home every day, I am worried that you are asking this, you don't tell me anything, don't you treat me as your daughter?"
"That's it!"
Zhong Shukai put down his chopsticks, and was very angry by his daughter's words: "You kid......! Dad told you, okay!"
"That's pretty much it. ”
Zhong Zhanyan muttered and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
So at half in the morning, the father and daughter lit the small lamp, sat down at the dining table and began to talk.
“...... Xiao Yan, if, Dad said if, if Dad wants to remarry, what do you think?"
Zhong Shukai opened his mouth cautiously, typed countless drafts in his heart before speaking, and looked at his daughter nervously after speaking.
Seeing that his father was so careful, Zhong Zhanyan was very helpless, angry and funny: "What can I think, if you really want to get married, it's useless for me to stop it." ”
"Besides, Mom has been dead for so many years, and you brought me up, can I still make you unhappy? ”
Zhong Shukai was inexplicable: "What?"
"Oh, look at your daughter and I, this year is sixteen, this is going to be put forward, that is the age when you can start a family, you don't have to worry about my thoughts. ”
"As long as you don't hate me, I don't care. ”
Zhong Zhanyan said that it was a categorical one.
In her heart, her father was both a father and a mother and raised her, not for a burden to hold him back in the future.
So even if she is not used to having one more female elder in her life, and she is not so happy to share her father's attention with multiple people, she will not stop her father from finding happiness.
This is the only thing she can do as a father's daughter for now.
Zhong Shukai thought that his daughter thought so much at a young age, and he didn't have time to interject, just listening to his daughter's crackling.
Speechless for a moment.
"Oh, Dad, are you going to remarry?"
Zhong Zhanyan suddenly reacted and stared at his father with wide eyes.
Zhong Shukai was a little embarrassed: "I'm still thinking about it, I didn't talk about getting married......"
"That is to say, you're in love, right? What is your partner's name, what does he look like, what does he do, how is his personality, is it easy to get along with? What is the situation on her side? Dad, tell me about it~"
"Okay, okay, I said, don't get excited, sit down and listen. ”
Just two and a half months ago, Zhong Shukai met a woman.
He is a small businessman, and he usually travels north and south during the day to find opportunities to develop himself.
so as to provide a better life for my daughter.
On that day, he went to buy goods as usual, walked in a hurry, and accidentally knocked down a woman.
The woman is in her early thirties, with long hair and a shawl, and she looks average, but her skin is very white.
accidentally knocked someone down, he didn't care, helped the person up, and kept apologizing.
The woman didn't blame him, she said "It's okay", and said, "You seem to be in a hurry, I'm really fine, you can go with your business." ”
He was not at ease, so he left a phone number for the woman and rushed to buy the goods.
Speaking of which, this fate is really wonderful, less than a week later, he went to the province to see the goods, hey, he met a woman again!
The two met head-on at the place where the goods were purchased.
He didn't recognize the woman, but the woman recognized him and greeted him very happily: "Hey, why are you?
Seeing that the woman's attitude was familiar, he couldn't help but wonder where he had seen her, and it took a long time to pull people out of his memory.
"Oh, yes, yes, I didn't expect you to be here...... Eh, you didn't have a problem at the time, did you? If you really get knocked out of me, you can tell me. ”
"Well, what's the matter! I'm sturdy, don't worry. ”
After that, because the two were fellow villagers, they rushed back to the province on the same train after buying the goods, and they became familiar with each other.
The woman also does a small business, and she owns a small department store, and she has a daughter who is two years younger than his daughter.
In fact, according to his thoughts, it would be good for the two to make friends and take care of each other.
But half a month ago, the woman suddenly asked him out and proposed a relationship.
Zhong Shukai is a very straight person, if it weren't for the woman to point it out, he wouldn't even know that this like-minded friend of the opposite sex has the idea of being with someone else.
Seeing that he was stunned, the woman probably didn't feel very good in her heart, and her face suddenly sank: "You don't look down on me?"
