Chapter 153: Deciding to Meet
"Well, he's your father, does Xiaocao like his father, what did he say to you today?" Zhao Qingzao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said to Xiaocao.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, Xiaocao seemed to be very happy, probably Shen Changting is the father he imagined, now it is determined that Mr. Shen of the Confucian Academy is his father, Xiaocao is of course happy, probably wants to tell Zhao Qingzao about the dialogue between Shen Changting and him, so Xiaocao thought for a long time, and then said to Zhao Qingzao: "Daddy said that I am very good-looking, and also said that I am very talented in painting, if I am willing, I will follow him to learn to paint in the future, mother, do you say this is good?" So I can stay with my dad all the time. ”
After speaking, Xiaocao blinked his eyes, looking at Zhao Qingzao with a very expectant expression, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao was silent and did not speak, if Xiaocao and Shen Changting had too much contact, Zhao Qingzao was worried that Xiaocao would not be able to help but say that he would leak his mouth, but if he rejected Xiaocao, then Xiaocao would be very sad.
"Xiaocao, if you can promise not to recognize your father, I will promise to let you learn to paint with him. Zhao Qingzao thought for a while, then sighed, turned his head and said to Xiaocao.
Hearing this, Xiaocao immediately nodded and agreed, and I don't know if he can do what Zhao Qingzao said, after all, Xiaocao is only a three-year-old child, if he is too happy, he may also say that he leaked his mouth, but Zhao Qingzao has already sent Xiaocao to the Confucian Academy, so it is useless to worry too much now, so he can only take one step at a time.
Mother, I will definitely keep the agreement. Xiaocao immediately nodded in agreement, and then took out a brush from his schoolbag, and said that it was given by Shen Changting.
Zhao Qingzao looked at the brush in Xiaocao's hand, and thought to himself that Shen Changting was really the same as before, the things he liked basically did not change, and even the brush given to Xiaocao knew that it belonged to Shen Changting at a glance.
Since Xiaocao entered the Confucian Academy to go to school, and followed Shen Changting to learn painting, he has been practicing painting diligently every day when he comes back, and usually stays in the house except for eating and bathing, Zhao Qingzao has to manage the shop, so he can't always be by Xiaocao's side, since Xiaocao likes to paint in the house, maybe it's a good thing.
However, in recent days, Xiaocao has often mentioned Shen Changting's matter to Zhao Qingzao, always in front of Zhao Qingzao, Mr. Shen is long and Mr. Shen is short, even if Zhao Qingzao said that he didn't want to hear it, Xiaocao still talked about it on his own, even Han Guang and several people knew that Xiaocao liked Shen Changting very much, and joked that maybe Xiaocao would recognize Shen Changting as his father-in-law, which made Zhao Qingzao cry and laugh.
"Mother, this is what Mr. Shen taught me to draw, do you think it looks good?"
Zhao Qingzao had just walked into the room, and Xiaocao immediately took a painting, and then stretched it out in front of Zhao Qingzao.
"Xiaocao, my mother wants to rest for a while, let's see it next time. Zhao Qingzao felt upset when he heard Mr. Shen's three words, so he was not in the mood to look at the painting handed over by Xiaocao, so he said to Xiaocao.
In the past, as long as Zhao Qingzao said this, Xiaocao would definitely be obedient, but Xiaocao didn't know what was wrong today, and he still stubbornly asked Zhao Qingzao to look at the painting in his hand, Zhao Qingzao really had no choice, so he took the painting handed over by Xiaocao.
"I asked Mr. Shen to teach me how to draw, mother, do you think the person in the painting looks like you?" Xiaocao pointed to the painting in Zhao Qingzao's hand, and then asked.
The woman in the painting is indeed very similar to Zhao Qingzao, even Shen Yun is very similar, Zhao Qingzao chuckled in his heart, reacted suddenly, and hurriedly asked Xiaocao: "Xiaocao, if you ask Mr. Shen to teach you to paint such a painting, he will definitely be suspicious, didn't my mother let you keep it secret?"
"Mr. Shen didn't say anything, and my mother plans not to let me recognize Mr. Shen for the rest of my life? Doesn't my mother want Mr. Shen?" Xiaocao pouted and said aggrievedly, although she promised that Zhao Qingzao would not recognize Shen Changting, but Xiaocao still had some small expectations in her heart, hoping that Shen Changting could recognize him and Zhao Qingzao, so that their family of three could be reunited.
Xiaocao didn't know what Zhao Qingzao thought in his heart, let alone that Shen Changting didn't know that there was his son at all, if he knew, he would definitely be very sad in his heart.
"Didn't my mother tell you, when the time is ripe, my mother will naturally take you to recognize him, what are you doing now?" Zhao Qingzao didn't know what to say, and after putting the painting on the table, he grabbed Xiaocao's shoulders and said with a frown.
"Mother, Mr. Shen won't be suspicious, he just treats me as an ordinary student. Xiaocao flattened her mouth, sniffed, and said aggrievedly.
Seeing Xiaocao's appearance, Zhao Qingzao couldn't bear to say too heavy words, besides, what Xiaocao said was right, she couldn't keep Xiaocao and Shen Changting from recognizing each other, and she couldn't keep avoiding Shen Changting, so Zhao Qingzao hesitated for a while, and then said to Xiaocao: "Xiaocao, don't be sad, my mother will go to the Confucian Academy with you tomorrow to see your father." ”
"Mother, are you telling the truth? Will you really go with me to see Mr. Shen?" Xiaocao was still very sad, but after hearing what Zhao Qingzao said, she immediately raised her head and asked happily.
"Of course it's true, when did my mother lie to you? But you have to keep it secret, you can't tell others, especially Uncle Han and Sister Green Shadow, do you know?" Zhao Qingzao touched Xiaocao's head, and then assured Xiaocao that because Han Guang was also teaching at the Confucian Academy, Zhao Qingzao was worried that after Han Guang knew about this, he would cause a lot of trouble, so he said to Xiaocao.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, Xiaocao nodded obediently, and promised that Xiaocao would go to see Shen Changting, Zhao Qingzao was a little expectant and a little scared, after all, she and Shen Changting had been separated for a long time, and it was Shen Changting who secretly left without saying a word, if the two of them saw each other, they didn't know what to say in the first sentence.
Because it was not early, Zhao Qingzao asked Xiaocao to pack up his things, and then went to bed early to rest, because there were still accounts that had not been settled, so after Xiaocao fell asleep, Zhao Qingzao went downstairs lightly, planning to sleep after keeping the accounts.
"Sister Qingzao, why haven't you slept yet?" Xiaolian was wiping the table, and after hearing the footsteps, she turned her head and asked Zhao Qingzao.
"You still have to settle the account, after you wipe the table, go to rest, tomorrow I will go out with Xiaocao for a while, so the shop will be left to you to take care of. After Zhao Qingzao took out the abacus, he said to Xiaolian.
Hearing this, Xiaolian nodded, was silent for a while, and then asked Zhao Qingzao curiously: "Sister Qingzao, where are you going tomorrow?
"Xiaolian, do I have to tell you where I went?" Zhao Qingzao glanced at Xiaolian angrily, and after making the abacus in his hand rattle, Zhao Qingzao said to Xiaolian.
Xiaolian is actually quite afraid of Zhao Qingzao, after all, she eats and lives in Zhao Qingzao's shop now, if she makes Zhao Qingzao unhappy, maybe she will be kicked out, so Xiaolian immediately said with a flattering smile: "Sister Qingzao, I just care about you, don't be angry." ”
Hearing Xiaolian say this, Zhao Qingzao didn't want to worry about her anymore, remembering that there was a box of fresh meatloaf today, and if it was put into tomorrow, it wouldn't be fresh, so he said to Xiaolian: "There is still a box of fresh meatloaf in the kitchen, if you like to eat it, go into the kitchen and take it back to the house to eat later, but you must not tell Han Guang and Green Shadow, otherwise it will make me have a headache when the time comes." ”
Zhao Qingzao knew that Han Guang and Xiaolian didn't deal with each other, and every time the two of them had any conflict, they would quarrel non-stop, and Han Guang and Xiaolian also liked to be jealous, and always felt that they were the people Zhao Qingzao valued the most, so Zhao Qingzao was also very annoyed by the two of them.
"Sister Qingzao, you are so good to me, if I soar in the future, I will definitely remember you. As soon as Zhao Qingzao finished speaking, Xiaolian immediately threw the rag on the table, looked at Zhao Qingzao with a touched face, and said.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that Xiaolian was originally the eldest lady of a rich family, how could she be considered a soaring lady? After Xiaolian wiped the table at a speed that she had never seen before, she ran to the kitchen to get fresh meatloaf, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao continued to settle the accounts, and after figuring out the accounts, Zhao Qingzao went upstairs to rest.
However, Zhao Qingzao had just closed the door, and he subconsciously sighed, thinking that he was going to see Shen Changting after dawn, Zhao Qingzao was very worried, she had always been not afraid of heaven and earth, but after giving birth to Xiaocao, it was not so much that her courage became smaller, but that she became much more cautious.
With a stomach full of worries, Zhao Qingzao unconsciously fell asleep, and after waking up the next day, Xiaocao had already changed her clothes and was waiting for her to get up.
"Mother, let's go to the academy quickly. After Xiaocao saw Zhao Qingzao wake up, he immediately said to Zhao Qingzao.
"Xiaocao, you go first, my mother will go later. Zhao Qingzao thought about it, but decided to go to see Shen Changting secretly, so as not to take Xiaocao to meet Shen Changting too suddenly, and then scare Shen Changting.
As soon as Zhao Qingzao finished speaking, Xiaocao showed a disappointed look and said, "Mother, will you really go to see Mr. Shen later?
"Xiaocao, what my mother promised you will definitely do, because Mr. Shen doesn't know that you have a son, so I have to tell him clearly before I can take you to see him." Zhao Qingzao sighed, then walked up to Xiaocao and said to Xiaocao.
Since Zhao Qingzao said so, Xiaocao couldn't force Zhao Qingzao to follow him to see Shen Changting, so after Xiaocao nodded, he obediently went to school in the academy, and after Xiaocao left, Zhao Qingzao sighed, and then planned to dress up, and then go to see Shen Changting again.
I don't know what's going on, Zhao Qingzao doesn't feel suitable no matter which set of clothes he changes, so after tossing for an hour, Zhao Qingzao changed into a pale pink dress, and then prepared to meet Shen Changting.
"Zhao Qingzao, isn't it just to meet Shen Changting? there's nothing to be afraid of!" Zhao Qingzao muttered as he went to the Confucian Academy.
