Winston's goal has not been achieved, he went at the right time, Iris happened to be out of school, Robert drove the flying machine and did not take off, Winston immediately stopped Iris and asked Iris to change to his flying machine, Iris did not resist, but after getting on his flying machine, no matter what Winston did, Iris did not speak, even if Winston had a little momentum to oppress Iris, Iris just bit his lip and endured, never said a word, Xia Fan looked at the front and frowned, The atmosphere between the father and son has dropped to freezing point, Winston has a cold face, Iris sits with his head down, a little fat face, not at all like the usual deer, his eyes are curious to look at the world, if you look closely, you can also find the dissatisfaction hidden in Iris's eyes.

It's not an option to stay silent like this.

Xia Fan wanted to say something, but he felt that it was not appropriate for him to speak, he had a certain understanding of Iris, Iris was a sensible child, and he was also very smart, not just an ordinary coaxing child, and he could be coaxed by giving a little temptation - what made Xia Fan feel that the most inappropriate thing was that he might know why Iris was like this.

After all, it can be regarded as witnessing the emergence of contradictions.

This is Winston's private family matter, and it is really inappropriate for him to intervene in the middle. Xia Fan was a little conflicted in his heart, Winston was a very good boss, although he was cold-faced, he was very responsible, and he had always taken good care of him, and he was very willing to help Winston. None of that aside, Iris is also a very likable little guy, and he doesn't want to make Iris and Winston so stiff.

Weighing it in his heart, the slight embarrassment of meddling in Winston's family affairs is much lighter than solving the contradiction between Winston and Iris, Xia Fan glanced at the father and son sitting behind him, exhaled lightly, adjusted his face to reveal a sincere smile, and said in a soft voice, "Iris, it's been a long time, remember me?" ”

Winston raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Fan, with some surprise but did not stop it, all along, his relationship with Iris is not as close as that of ordinary father and son, but relatively silent, except for Iris's homework guidance, there is very little communication between them.

Iris didn't look up, the hand on his knee moved slightly, and he was silent for a while before replying, "Yes, Uncle Xia Fan, hello." ”

Xia Fan heard Iris's answer, the smile on his face softened, as if it was the light from the leaves in early summer, and an ordinary tree could also shine, and when it was pleasing to the eye, it made people unconsciously relax, Winston looked at Xia Fan like this, the lines at the corners of his lips seemed to soften, and the stalemate between Iris and Winston was obviously shaken.

"I'm so glad you remember, I still remember, last time you said you were going to play black and white reversal chess with me," Xia Fan was very happy, and there was some in his voice, just like bees collecting pollen and the wind blowing leaves, which would not make people disgusted, naturally, "How about it, are you sure of winning?" ”

Iris was silent for a while, and seemed to feel too rude, he felt very good about Xia Fan, and finally had to raise his head and glance at Xia Fan, "Uncle Xia Fan, I don't want to play chess today." After a pause, Iris added, "Please don't talk to me again, I don't want to talk now." ”

Even Xia Fan, who carried out the conversation here, could no longer take a step forward, he glanced at Winston, there was a faint apology in his eyes, and he sighed in his heart, saying that the child is the purest, and the bamboo basket is indeed very good to Iris, so Iris also maintains the bamboo basket like this - Xia Fan knows, the bamboo basket does not blame Winston's attitude towards him, and from the day he accompanied them to shop, he understood that the bamboo basket was more regretting that he was not perfect, which was actually unfair. But Iris is angry with Takeho.

After Xia Fan didn't speak, the airship was silent again, but it was a little more relaxed than before, and he didn't say anything all the way to Roland Manor, Iris followed behind Winston with a small schoolbag, Robert in front of him, and Xia Fan in the back, the four of them entered the villa gate together, and the bamboo hoop sat in a wheelchair in the courtyard of the vestibule to water the newly sprouted plants, and raised his head when he heard the sound at the door, with his usual gentleness and a lively smile on his face, and said, "Iris is back?" Come and help me see—"

Eyes touched the tall figure that walked in, the watering can in the hand of the bamboo basket fell to the ground, and the remaining half of the pot of water fell out, and the splash hit the corner of the bamboo basket's wide robe, and a big smile bloomed on his face, the bamboo basket smiled and squinted, and the jade-like eyes seemed to have a different color, beautiful and incredible, "Winston, are you back?" Why don't you tell me in advance, I can prepare dinner in advance, I have learned a lot of things, especially cooking, Iris praises me for making it very delicious......"

The bamboo basket seemed to have endless words to say to Winston, and he was excited to talk to himself, but he didn't notice Winston's displeased.

Winston looked at the bamboo hoop, he hadn't seen him for almost three and a half weeks, and he didn't feel it when he talked on the phone, but when he really stood in front of him, Winston realized that the mermaid seemed to have changed a lot, and it seemed that nothing had changed. Mermaid, what is the use of learning those things, even if they can be done, they are only scratching the surface? Look, with so much soil on your hands, in order to plant these seedlings, you still drag your inconvenient legs, and sit in a wheelchair to loosen the soil? Is...... It's okay to find trouble, do you want to do it too much, or do you think you're not troublesome enough?

It's good to be a mermaid.

"You don't have to do that." Winston coldly interrupted the bamboo hoop, he was about twenty steps away from the bamboo hoop, and he looked at the bamboo hoop in the wheelchair coldly, without a trace of temperature, as if he was disdainful, and as if he was talking casually.

Bamboo Basket's smile was suddenly a little reluctant, but he still raised the corners of his mouth, his tone was no longer as happy as just now, and even a trace of confidence that had finally appeared appeared in it was hesitant and shaky, Bamboo Basket tried to explain his intentions, "I, I think I am not free to do many things like humans, but if I work hard, can I also do other things...... It would be nice to have at least a little bit of use...... That, actually...... If you don't like it, I'll ......."

Winston was a little irritable in his heart, he hated mermaids the most, and he didn't have any opinions! Always follow the light change of the human mind," ...... Whatever you want. ”

What are you expecting? Winston looked at the bamboo hoop in front of him, and the indescribable disappointment in his heart was like discovering a wisp of color in a black and white, and when he ran over, he suddenly realized that in fact, the color was just an illusion of a mirage, and once he got closer, it was just black and white!

Ignoring the pale face of the bamboo hoop, he raised his feet and walked into the house.

Xia Fan secretly said that it was not good in the back...... I felt unlucky in my heart, why did he always encounter a conflict between his boss and his mermaid every time he came to his boss's house!

"Father! You're such a bastard! Iris held back this way, and finally arrived home, and before he could find Xiao Zhen to get close, he saw Winston teach the bamboo basket again, and suddenly he couldn't stand it and howled, tears fell down big drops, crying and screaming, "You will teach people, you will teach people, let Xiao Zhen do it himself, do this and that, and when Xiao Zhen does it himself, you will be dissatisfied, what are you going to do!" What the hell are you going to do! Woo-"

Iris cried, which startled everyone present.

Robert knew that his little master was a tear bag, and he wanted to cry when he saw a stranger, in fact, he had never cried like this, or he didn't dare to cry at all, Iris rarely cried so sadly, and rarely spoke so bravely, Robert sighed, it seems that the arrival of the bamboo basket and the arrival of the mermaid did not bring any changes to Winston, but it did make the little master Iris grow a lot.

"Woo-I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Even if Iris is precocious, when he cries, he is still like other children, looking at the sky and shouting, crying very sadly, tears falling in pairs, Winston paused, turned around and looked at Iris, a tall man of 1.95 meters stood in front of such a little radish head, one with a cold face and no words, and the other looked up to the sky and cried, the picture was particularly funny.

Winston was stunned for a few seconds, glanced at the bamboo hoop, the bamboo hoop eyes were a little red, and the eyes were a little moist, Winston knew that his guess was completely wrong, every time Iris called him, he was extremely depressed, but the bamboo hoop was as usual, and even a few times the bamboo hoop kept pinching Iris's little belly, and Iris would say goodbye to him, he thought ......

Now it seems that it is not the bamboo hoop that makes Iris unhappy, but the person who makes Iris unhappy has always been him.

When he was on the airship, he thought that Iris didn't say it because he wouldn't ask softly, which scared Iris even more, and it was Iris who was deterred by the bamboo hoop that made him dare not speak, and now it seems that Iris didn't want to talk to him. Winston was silent, and he crouched down in front of Iris, reaching out to touch Iris's head.

Iris slapped his hand away and cried louder, Winston withdrew his hand, stood up with his body propped up, and cast his eyes on the bamboo hoop not far away, the bamboo hoop pursed his lips and smiled reluctantly, rowed his wheelchair to Iris's side, stretched out his hand to hold Iris into his arms, kissed Iris's forehead, and comforted me softly, "Iris doesn't cry, Iris is the most well-behaved, your father didn't teach me." Your father said ......"

"That's what you say!" Iris hiccuped a little, "If Father said all." It's all right, so is it right that he asks for the exact opposite of what he asks of you? What does it mean not to do it right, and it is not right to do it? He's just not right, he doesn't admit it! And teach people a lesson! ”

Yes, it's not right to do it, it's not right not to do it. Isn't that what Winston asks of him? It's all wrong if you don't like it, where is it reasonable.

The smile on Bamboo Basket's lips was extremely helpless, even a little painful, he glanced up at Winston, that look was full of apologies and pleas, he was sorry that he didn't want to refute Iris's words now, that would inevitably make Iris cry even more, and asked Winston to forgive him, he held the crying child in his arms, and really didn't want to make Iris sad again.

Xia Fan patted the bamboo basket on the shoulder and nodded slightly.

A line of tears suddenly fell down his cheeks, and the bamboo hoop hurriedly rubbed on his shirt, hugged Iris on his lap, patted Iris on the back and coaxed him. Winston stood aside, feeling only a dull pain in his heart, and only realized how much he had demanded of the bamboo basket through the childish duty of Iris in his eyes.

Winston took two steps back in silence, watched Iris gradually cry and fall asleep in the bamboo basket's arms, and then walked over, picked up the bamboo hoop and Iris in his arms, and sent it to the room on the second floor of the villa, and told the two to rest well, then went downstairs to the living room, sat down on the sofa, covered his forehead with his right hand, and his figure was a little decadent.

Originally, it was not an easy job to go to the selection, and some family members made trouble in it, so he spent energy and time to solve it, and after returning to the capital star, he dealt with official business, and he didn't feel too tired...... But now, Winston felt extremely tired.

Zhu Zhen's eyes made his heart twitch and stuffy, in his heart, Zhu Zhen is a person without any growth value, or a mermaid, so what kind of image is he in the eyes of Zhu Zhen. His son, who now has a very bad impression of him.

He really didn't want to spend too much effort in the family, but he didn't want his family to complain and resentment about him. They may not have much affection for each other, but they can understand each other.

Can ...... now

Winston sighed, Xia Fan came behind Winston, looked at Winston's voice, hesitated for a moment, and said, "General, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Winston had already noticed Xia Fan's arrival, he was stunned for a moment, and wanted to hear what this young man who had always had an opinion wanted to say, so he nodded and asked him to continue, Xia Fan saw that Winston agreed, and took a deep breath before saying, "General Winston, with all due respect, I'm afraid you're not doing it right." ”

"Bamboo hoop is your mermaid, how to treat him is your business, but in my opinion, you are too him, and asking him to do something that is difficult for him is an excessive thing, and even Iris does not approve. But when the bamboo basket listens to your words and seriously wants to do it, or is already doing it, you refuse so indifferently. It's almost like ...... It's like, it's like he's deliberately abusing him. You may not know, after your business trip, Mr. Robert asked me to escort the bamboo hoop to shop with Iris, and that day the bamboo hoop said that he wished he was a human being, so that at least he could not cause trouble to others, and he said that mermaids can also do some other work, swimming coaches, kindergarten teachers, etc.," Xia Fan paused for a moment, and continued, "I thought a lot that day, mermaids are an irreplaceable and important role in society, they don't want to do work, but they are asked not to do it, that day, I feel the despicability of human beings, The mermaid's efforts in society are not respected as they should be, General Winston, Bamboo Hoop is working hard, hoping to make a meager change to make himself recognized and stand up his back, but you have hurt him. ”

"Maybe Iris's is still young, he doesn't understand the difference between mermaids and humans portrayed by humans, so he can respect the bamboo hoop, so he can't understand and forgive you."

Winston closed his eyes, "...... I already know that. He doesn't remember very clearly, when the bamboo basket first came, it seemed that it was not like this between them, he didn't care much about the bamboo basket, maybe it was the first time he was angry with the bamboo basket, he had already lost the way to get along with the bamboo basket, he didn't want to do this, but he always ...... will hurt him.

Xia Fan looked at Winston, did he hear it wrong, there seemed to be some pain in Winston's voice, "General, I want to ask, are you so strict with the bamboo hoop because you like him?" ”

Winston was taken aback and instinctively said, "How is that possible?" How could he like a weak mermaid, he never had any other thoughts about the bamboo pipe, compared to the bamboo pipe, even Xia Fan made him feel a little more favorable, he rubbed his eyebrows, sighed, "Now what I think about is, how to make Iris ......" Winston said this, but there was also a trace of doubt in his heart, but he deliberately didn't think about it.

"It's actually quite simple." Seeing that Winston didn't want to talk about the bamboo hoop, Xia Fan didn't gossip anymore, his tone was relaxed, "Iris will be angry with you, it proves that he cares about you very much, you go home more every week to get along with him, and take him to play on weekends, of course, don't be like today, don't let the misunderstanding deepen, I believe that it won't be too long, Iris will be relieved." He's a good boy. ”

Winston nodded, glanced at Xia Fan with hints in his words, and exhaled softly, "I know, I will give Zhu Zhen enough respect, just because he took good care of Iris, I have to thank him." ”

Iris wasn't so brave before, and he's really grown a lot. And he, on the other hand, has been standing still, even retreating. Winston laughed self-deprecatingly, and decided to adopt Xia Fan's method to completely resolve this family crisis.
