After the photos were washed out, Ru Miaotong treasured the photos of her snuggling up to Hu Youmin and did not give them to them. Wang Lei didn't know if she didn't care, or she didn't know that there was this photo at all, and she didn't ask.

In the next few games of Ru Miaotong, Hu Youmin did not participate, and he encountered the most headache in his life, but he couldn't escape it.

Cheng Hongyi was at home, and persuaded his daughter bitterly: "Sisi, Simin is three months old, can you go back to work at work?"

She asked unexpectedly, "Why has it changed again? Didn't you say that I would go to work when he was weaned? Besides, when I went to work, who would take Simin? What did he eat at home?"

"Just a few hours during the day, it's the same with milk, you can hire a nanny at home, and if you're not at ease, ask your mom to take a year of sick leave. He explained.

Cheng's mother also said on the side: "Sisi, Mom will bring you the child, you can rest assured, right? Listen to your father, go back to work?"

She asked puzzledly: "Dad, Mom, why are you so anxious to let me go back to work? Is there any policy that prohibits me from taking long leave? No, you just said that my mother can take a long leave." ”

He had no choice but to tell her the truth: "Lao Chen, the director of the office of the city bureau, will retire in two months, and my father wants you to go to the city bureau, not only can you be promoted to a regular department, but also close to home, so you can take better care of Simin." ”

She said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just a serious subject? It's not rare, it's not as important as my family's thinking of the people." He said angrily: "You said it lightly, do you know how difficult it is to get from a deputy department to a main department?"

"Some people may stay in the sub-department for the rest of their lives, and if they are lucky, they will stay up for three or five years, but you are good, don't you cherish such a good opportunity?"

Cheng's mother also persuaded: "Sisi, your parents are for your good, think about it, you are a single woman, with a child, and you don't go far in your career, what will you do in the future?"

"While your father is still in power, he can pull you, and when he retires, he has no power and no power, and he is powerless to pull you. ”

"Mom and Dad are getting old year by year, but your days are still long, when Mom and Dad are old, they still expect you to take care of us, if you can't even take care of yourself at that time, who else can we count on?"

She remained unmoved: "We will always live together, why can't we take care of you? ”

Cheng Hongyi, who was helpless, had no choice but to move out of Hu Youmin and said: "You are not motivated yourself, you have no status, how can he take you to heart?"

She glanced at her father and said, "I know him better than you, he's not the kind of person who tends to be inflammatory, has he ever done something for you?"

"He is a person who values affection and righteousness, even if there is no Simin between us, and there is something to find him, he will not sit idly by. ”

"Why did I fall in love with him without hesitation, and so desperately to bear him a son? It is because of these things that no man can compare to him, not a tenth of them. ”

Cheng Hongyi said with some embarrassment: "Don't forget, Dad is also a man, you say this, where do I put my face?"

She smiled and said, "Dad, don't be unconvinced. If he is in politics, he will definitely go further than you. He wasn't too embarrassed to argue with her.

Changed the subject and said, "Even if you don't care about anything, you always have to think about Simin, right?

"Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, which training class is not too expensive? You don't have the money to take anything to train him? Maybe he will have to study abroad in the future, and your parents' salary is not enough to see at all." ”

She smiled and said, "What kind of training did his father have since he was a child? Even eating food, how can he have such a great achievement? Tiger father has no dogs, if not, I-is useless." ”

He said angrily: "You are a crooked reason, how can you compare them with different generations? I don't bother to tell you about it, you can think about it yourself." ”

After saying that, he went to the study in a huff. Cheng's mother sighed and got up to do hygiene. She sat on the couch absentmindedly and played with her son.

Cheng Hongyi sulked in the study for a while, and called Hu Youmin, asking him to come to the house tomorrow night to sit and wait for him to have dinner.

Hu Youmin, who received the call, his eyelids jumped. He couldn't think of anything that would happen? There was always a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and it was not good to call Cheng Hongyi again.

When he arrived at the company the next day, after Hu Youmin finished handling his official business, he felt a burst of inexplicable irritability in his heart.

He went to the companies to see it, told the person in charge to pay attention to safety production, and went to the welfare housing construction site, carefully inspected it, and asked the project manager to arrange someone to check the safety and quality, and put an end to all potential safety hazards.

After a turn, I was a little relieved. Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, he returned to the office, took two bottles of red wine and two good cigarettes, thought for a while, took a silk scarf, and went to Cheng Hongyi's house.

When he knocked on the door, Cheng's mother was busy in the kitchen, Cheng Hongyi was in the study, and Cheng Sisi had to hold the child to open the door.

Seeing that it was Hu Youmin, her heart jumped to her throat, she held back her excitement and asked lightly, "Why are you here?"

He sneered, "Uncle asked me to come to dinner, just in time to come and see you." She let out a soft "oh" and leaned sideways to let him in.

After sitting down on the sofa, he took out the lilac scarf and handed it to her and said, "This is brought back from Nanzhou, do you like it?"

She put the child on the sofa, took the scarf and gestured it around her neck, suppressed her excitement and said, "It's okay, you're a big man, and you're quite good at picking things." ”

He smiled, looked at the child on the couch and asked, "Whose child is this?" She looked at him and said, "Mine." ”

Thinking she was joking, he picked up the child and said, "Aren't you divorced? How could it be? It's your relative's family?"

It's strange to say, Cheng Simin is very recognizant and never wants strangers to hug him, but when Hu Youmin picked him up, not only did he not cry, but he also smiled at him.

Hu Youmin kissed him on the face and said to him: "The baby is so good, tell your uncle, what's your name? Are you a little beauty or a handsome guy?"

She whispered on the side: "It's called Cheng Simin, it's a boy." He didn't take it to heart when he was teasing the child, and said casually: "Little Simin, it turned out to be a handsome little guy." ”

Looking at the close father and son, her heart was in turmoil, and the corners of her eyes moistened. When these dream scenes really appeared in front of her, she was a little skeptical, was this another dream?

Cheng Hongyi, who heard the movement, came out of the study and saw this warm scene, he couldn't help but stop, stood at the door, and looked at them blankly.

Hu Youmin, who was teasing the child, looked up and saw Cheng Hongyi standing at the door of the study, and hurriedly hugged the child and got up and said, "Uncle Cheng is good." ”

Cheng Hongyi, who came back to his senses, pressed down his hand and said, "You don't have to get up, you sit down." I'll make you tea, and the meal will be ready in no time. ”

Cheng Sisi got up to help his mother serve food, and Hu Youmin had to hold the child, sit on the sofa, and watch them busy, as if he had become a member of the family.

During the meal, Cheng Sisi wanted to take the child in his hand, but Simin was still unwilling, crying and refusing to leave his arms, he smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll hold and eat." ”

Cheng Sisi was not polite to him, and sat down to eat his own meal. Cheng Hongyi and his wife glanced at each other and didn't say anything.

Cheng Hongyi asked him what kind of wine he was drinking? He smiled and said, "I came here by my own car, so I won't drink alcohol, right?" Otherwise, I won't be able to go back later. ”

"It's okay, wait a minute, let Sisi drive you. Before Cheng Hongyi's words were finished, Cheng Sisi said without raising his head: "I won't send it." ”

He played a round and said, "Uncle Cheng, it's not convenient for me to hold the child and drink, why don't I drink with you next time?" Cheng Hongyi had no choice but to give up.

At the dinner table, Cheng Hongyi chatted with him about some things in business and society, and Cheng Sisi and her mother did not interject and concentrated on eating.

After eating and drinking tea for a while, Cheng Hongyi asked him to go to the study to sit for a while. Cheng Sisi went to hug the child, but Simin still refused to ask her to hug him, and she breastfed him, so he stopped crying.

After arriving at the study, Cheng Hongyi took out a cigarette and gave it to him, he waved his hand and said no, Cheng Hongyi persuaded: "Smoke one." ”

He had to take it, but he didn't catch it. Cheng Hongyi took out a point by himself, took a deep breath and said, "Youmin, have you ever thought about having another boy?"

Hu Youmin, who was a little inexplicable, didn't know how to answer? He thought for a while and said: "I really haven't thought about this problem, but it's useless to think about it, Wang Lei works in a public institution, and the policy does not allow it." ”

Cheng Hongyi stared at him and asked, "Who do you think Simin looks like?" He said without thinking: "Like Sisi." ”

As soon as the words came out, he was stunned. Grabbed the lighter from the table, shivered and lit the cigarette in his hand, took a few puffs, and was silent.

After a while, he asked with difficulty: "You mean that Simin is my son?" Seeing Cheng Hongyi, he nodded lightly.

He pressed the cigarette heavily into the ashtray and asked with a firm expression, "Uncle Cheng, what do you need me to do?"

Cheng Hongyi shook his head and said, "Youmin, you misunderstood, we don't need you to do anything? This matter will always be a secret that only we know." ”

"We won't ask you to take any responsibility, it's just that your aunt and I will always grow old one day, and Sisi is too willful and stubborn, and we don't feel at ease." ”

"I hope you can pull her when she is in trouble, and you won't wronged her for being infatuated with you, and Simin is also your flesh and blood. ”

As he spoke, tears welled up in the eyes of this tough man on the public security front. Hu Youmin picked up a cigarette from the table, took out one and lit it.

Then said to him: "Uncle Cheng, first of all, please ask you to be cold, and the harm I brought to you and Auntie, as well as Sisi, for this matter, except for not being able to give Sisi a name, nothing else will be missing." ”

He wiped away his tears and said, "I believe in you, otherwise I wouldn't have hidden it from you until now." One more thing, you help me persuade her, only your words will work now. ”

"I think she will go back to work now, and in two months she will have the opportunity to be transferred to the city bureau, so that she will be close to home and take care of her family. ”

"You don't have to worry about taking care of the children, then your aunt will take two years of sick leave to take Simin at home. ”

Hu Youmin said, "Uncle Cheng, I'll try it." I don't know if she hates me now? She won't necessarily listen to what I say. ”

He stood up and said, "She never hated you, she will listen to you, let's go out?"

After coming to the living room, he gave his wife a look, took the child from his daughter's hand and said, "You guys will talk for a while, and we will go downstairs for a walk." ”

When her parents went out, she asked faintly, "You know everything?" He nodded, sat down beside her, put his arms around her lovingly, and said, "Why are you hiding it from me?"

She threw herself into his arms, wept silently, and whispered, "I don't want you to be a burden, I just want to have a child with you, you won't blame me, right?"

He stroked her hair and said, "How so? Why am I so stupid? I should have reacted when I first heard the name, Simin, I miss me, right?"

She let out a soft "um" and hugged him tighter, for fear that he would disappear all at once. He lowered his head and kissed the tears on her face, slowly covering her soft lips.
