Chapter 24: Counterattack
Chen Li didn't have any surprise on her face, probably because she was used to her daughter often saying these incomprehensible words after waking up, but she understood and liked it very much, so she had a little smile on her face: "I have divorced your father, don't say that." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ๏ฝiqugeใ info"The relief in his eyes can't be concealed.
He Ranran's face was not angry, he pouted, did not refute Chen Li's words, and said: "Since I have been admitted to university, my mother should call my grandfather and grandmother." โ
Since the divorce, Chen Li has never had a good face towards her former parents-in-law. The old couple was not bad about He Ranran, thinking that she was smart and well-behaved, but because of Chen Li's obstacles, they rarely met their granddaughter, and they hated this former daughter-in-law.
It's just that He Ranran fainted last time, because of Chen Li's financial constraints, the medical expenses were basically given by the old couple, and He Ranran remembered it in his heart.
Chen Li's in-laws did not stop Huang Shanshan from entering the door, and she was resentful, and she never treated their enthusiasm very much. For a while, because her daughter was talking about filial piety all the time, and filial piety was the first, she was more kind to them.
At this moment, I heard my daughter mention it again, although she was displeased, she also dialed the number and handed over the mobile phone: "You tell them." โ
He Ranran took the phone and called his grandparents not very neatly and told him about being admitted to college. The second old man on the other end of the phone was happy and didn't know what to say, but kept congratulating her, praising her for her promising, and saying that he wanted to see the admission letter and invite her out for dinner.
He Ranran said: "Thank you so much grandparents, it's just that I have to bring my mother, there is no daughter in the world who eats alone, and the reason why my mother is left at home alone." โ
He Father and He Mother had little contact with He Ranran, and when they saw her Wen Xuan talking, they thought they were overjoyed, and deliberately dragged the text to show off, not caring about her extraneous meaning, and nodded: "Yes, yes." The two sides made an appointment for the time and place, and He Ranran hung up the phone and beckoned Chen Li to prepare to go out.
Chen Li was reluctant to participate. "They didn't invite me. โ
He Ran said righteously: "Mother, even if you reconcile with your father, your grandfather and grandmother are also your elders. The elders' invitation, how can you refuse!"
Chen Li was speechless, so she reluctantly went into the house to change her clothes.
When the two arrived at the reserved restaurant, they found that it was not only He Father and Mother, but also He Shuli.
He Ranran didn't feel embarrassed, stepped forward and called the elders generously, and respectfully called his father.
He Shuli was obviously taken aback by his daughter's respect. Since He Ranran was hospitalized in an accident last time, He Father and Mother scolded him. Huang Shanshan even forbade him to go to the hospital to see his daughter, crying at home, holding his son to death or alive, he had no time to separate, so he didn't go to see him, and only asked for news from his parents every day.
Today, I heard the good news from my parents, and I couldn't help but come over together, but I didn't expect my daughter to change so much. Although she was silent in the past, always keeping her head down, and being obedient on the surface, he could feel the unconvincing in her bones.
But now, it is respect from the outside and inside. Compared with the polite alienation when his daughter asked him before, this feeling now makes He Shuli very comfortable. He glanced at Chen Li and found that she was also carefully dressed up today, because her daughter was admitted to college, her haggard and withered face caused by hard work and unwillingness also exuded a brilliance that was not usually seen.
I was full of emotion for a while, but I couldn't resort to it, so I only snorted a few times before saying, "Today is your birthday, Dad remembers...... It's just that I came in a hurry and didn't prepare a gift for you, so I'll give it to you. "I took out a gift box and put it on the table, it looked like jewelry or something.
He Ranran naturally accepted it and thanked him, and did not open it. Father and Mother He said with a smile: "Grandparents didn't prepare a gift for you." โ
He Ranran smiled gently: "Where do grandparents say, if the elders have the heart to remember their granddaughter's birthday, it is already a great grace, so why not give gifts." There was no trace of displeasure in his eyebrows.
The He family looked at her as usual, and felt guilty for a while. The granddaughter's birthday, in fact, they forgot. He Shuli was particularly uncomfortable, the gift he just gave might not be suitable for his daughter. It was Huang Shanshan who told him a customer who went on a business trip to the United States to help her bring luxury goods, he just received it in the company, and before he went home, he received a call from his parents to report the good news, and he was anxious for a while, and came over directly.
As he spoke, he remembered that today was also his daughter's birthday, and he took it out, no matter what, this gift is expensive in the end, and it can be regarded as a little heart. He didn't want his daughter to hold a grudge against him.
He could also see that his parents had obviously forgotten. But his daughter is well-behaved and filial, and her words are all respectful to her elders, and there is no dissatisfaction, which makes him feel more and more guilty.
During the meal, He Ranran didn't speak, just looked carefully at what the elders liked to eat, so he quietly sandwiched it, and stared at He Shuli's wine glass, and poured it in time when he finished drinking, the action was elegant and generous, without a trace of deliberateness, as if she had done this many times, and the elders couldn't help nodding, Chen Li looked at it with resentment, and felt that they were worthy of their daughter's service like this, but just thinking about the purpose of this time, she put up with it for the time being, not to mention, when her daughter flattered the He family, she did not leave her behind, and she also asked her softly from time to time if she ate wellใ
praised He Ranran, He Shuli drank a few glasses of wine, looked at the relieved expressions of his elderly parents, and the smile that he hadn't seen for a long time revealed from the corners of their grinning mouths, and the stretched wrinkles were revealed, which was the comfort of the old man in his heart, and he couldn't help but move, and said proudly: "Mom and Dad, don't worry about Ranran's tuition, just your little retirement salary, keep it for yourself, my daughter's tuition, who won't pay for me?"
When Chen Li and her parents looked at them in surprise and surprise, he immediately thought that Huang Shanshan would definitely be noisy again when he went back, and he was trying to find a topic to turn around, such as changing his words to say that he was in charge of half or something.
He Ranran's performance surprised him, and the rest of the words were blocked in his mouth, and he couldn't say it anymore. With a bit of determination to break the wrist of a strong man: "Ranran, you study hard, let alone undergraduate, even if you want to study for graduate school and doctorate in the future, your father will also provide for you!"
Because when he spoke, He Ran got up, lifted his skirt, and knelt down for him very naturally. She didn't say anything, just a pair of clear and haughty eyes that looked straight at him, with a trust that blood was thicker than water that he had never experienced.
So the promise behind was heavier and heavier, and he suddenly felt that the money was well spent, and the words at this moment rang in his ears, making him feel "Giving birth to a daughter like this, what more can a husband ask for?"
He Ranran was happy when she heard that He Shuli was going to pay her tuition, but it was not very obvious, she got up and walked to the open space in the private room a little farther away to give He Shuli a kneeling salute, which startled him, stunned for a while, and hurriedly got up to help: "This is what Dad should do, how can you ......"
He Ranran got up with his hand, looked at his demeanor in his eyes, and was slightly surprised, closed his eyes and thought for a while, before he said fluently: "My daughter's kneeling is not to thank my father for paying for his daughter's tuition. It is natural for parents to give birth and raise, and their daughters deserve it. It's just that from then on, the daughter has to go to study elsewhere, and she can't serve her parents, which is unfilial piety. Therefore, bow down first, and wish my father good health, and my grandparents will be as blessed as the East China Sea. โ
When these words came out, He Father, He Mother and He Shuli were both moved and surprised, and they couldn't react for a while, feeling that what she said was weird, but it was very reasonable and very useful.
Chen Li was a little accustomed to her strange words and deeds in recent days, and only then did she explain softly at this moment: "The child likes to read classical Chinese, and after the college entrance examination, he reads ancient books at home all day long. I usually work a few jobs, and I don't have time to care about her, but when I find out, it's already like this. Speaking of guilt and pride: "Don't say it, she likes ancient Chinese, which is very beneficial, do you know? Ranran's college entrance examination essay is answered in classical Chinese, and it is the only full-score essay in the city." โ
At that time, even his Chinese teacher, Mr. Fang, came home and praised her for a few hours, saying that although her hospitalization affected her learning progress, she did not expect to make rapid progress after being discharged from the hospital, especially in Chinese. The attainments in classical Chinese are even inferior to many teachers.
