Chapter 24: Father and Son

It was another Saturday after school, Chen Yadong was packing up his books, and Liu Ya on the side turned her head sideways and said, "Chen Yadong, where are you going to play on the weekend?" ”

Play! A simple word, and Chen Yadong can only be said to have no fate, he was busy with farm work when he was a child, and now he is busy and desperate. Children of the same age can grow up under the wing of their parents, but he has to stand alone, and sometimes I have to feel that God is really unfair.

Chen Yadong smiled helplessly and asked, "What's so interesting about this development zone?" And I'm going to have self-study tomorrow night. ”

Liu Ya said: "There are a lot! There are many skating rinks. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the mall, I heard that there is a new supermarket in the G area......"

Liu Ya talked about Zhao chattering endlessly, like a few family treasures, Chen Yadong did not have too much pickiness about food and clothing. Clothes exist only to cover shame, as long as they are worn on the body and are not cold. So it's not cold to the mall. Moreover, he is a quiet person who prefers to spend more time in bookstores. Many books are still good, such as the strategic thinking in "Thirty-six Strategies for Sun Tzu's Art of War", or the technique of shutting down in "Guiguzi", all of which reflect the shrewdness and wisdom of the ancients.

Of course, it was impossible for Chen Yadong to discuss these issues with a girl, so he smiled politely and said, "I hope you have fun." ”

Liu Ya said: "Thank you, by the way, why don't you rarely see you go home?" ”

Chen Yadong was stunned, and the smile on his face was gradually replaced by longing. Before I knew it, I had been away from home for almost two months, and I didn't know what had changed at home and what my mother was busy with.

Just as Chen Yadong was distracted, suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the classroom, and a childish female voice came from outside: "Excuse me, is Chen Yadong in this class?" ”

Chen Yadong heard someone shouting that he came back to his senses, looked out of the door, and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl standing at the door, a pair of big eyes scanning back and forth in the classroom, seeing the comer, Chen Yadong waved his hand a little excitedly and said, "Xiaoxiao, here, why are you here?" ”

The person standing outside the classroom was Zhao Yixiao, who saw Chen Yadong's seat by the window in the last row (the seats in the class rotate weekly), and immediately smiled and asked, "Can I come in?" ”

"Of course!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yixiao strode in and muttered, "What? Miss Ben is happy today, can't I come and see you? ”

Chen Yadong said: "Of course not, it's just that it's not easy for you to take a break from your busy homework!" ”

Liu Ya on the side looked at Zhao Yixiao curiously and asked Chen Yadong: "Chen Yadong, your sister, it's so cute." He turned his head to Zhao Yi and smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Liu Ya." ”

"Hmph, who's his sister?"

Liu Ya looked at Chen Yadong suspiciously, and he said, "My boss! ”

"Hey...... Count yourself as reality. Big sister, if he dares to bully you, tell me, and I'll help you teach him a lesson. ”

"Okay."

The two girls are both self-acquainted people, and they quickly got acquainted with each other, chatting happily, and put Chen Yadong on the side, and he couldn't insert his mouth. He didn't want to plug it in, so he silently packed up his textbooks.

After they came to an end and Liu Ya waved goodbye, Chen Yadong asked, "Aunt Fang is okay!" ”

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Very good! I came today to invite you to dinner, Dad is back, there is nothing important in the bank in the last few days, I want to see you. ”

Zhao Yaozu. These three words flashed in Chen Yadong's mind, and he didn't know what kind of person he was, Chen Yadong had long wanted to meet him. "Okay, now?"

Zhao Yi glanced at him with a smile and said, "It's still early." Don't be in such a hurry, go over in the evening, and go shopping with me first. ”

Chen Yadong smiled embarrassedly, seeing Zhao Yixiao's expectant eyes, thinking that she had come to see her home, he readily agreed.

The two walked from noon to dusk before arriving at Zhao's house, where Chen Yadong was no longer a stranger. Pushing open the door, Zhao Yixiao said loudly: "I'm back...... Oh, Dad, you're off work too? ”

Chen Yadong stood next to Zhao Yixiao, and after entering the door, he saw a person sitting on the sofa, wearing a black suit, a pair of shiny leather shoes on his feet, and a newspaper in his hand, blocking his cheeks. Although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, he naturally exuded a noble temperament from him, which made Chen Yadong's heartbeat unconsciously quicken.

And with Zhao Yi's laughing voice, the man slowly put down the newspaper in his hand, and a peaceful face was revealed, and he said with a kind smile: "I waited for you to invite guests from noon to now, and you are embarrassed to say." After speaking, he stood up, beckoned to Chen Yadong and said, "Chen Yadong, hello, come and sit." ”

Zhao Yaozu's actions doubled Chen Yadong's favorability, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao is good." ”

The two sat down on the sofa, and Zhao Yi smiled and grimaced and said, "I'm going to help my mother cook." ”

Looking at the back of Zhao Yixiao leaving, Zhao Yaozu's eyes were full of love and pity, and he said: "This smile is a big ghost!" ”

Chen Yadong said: "This is also her cuteness. ”

"Well, how are you doing at school?"

Chen Yadong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's just that the studies are a little heavy." ”

Zhao Yaozu said: "It doesn't matter, there are more subjects in high school, try not to tire yourself, and it is also a good choice to take more time to exercise and relax." ”

Chen Yadong said: "I know. Chen Yadong felt that his face was a little hot, if Zhao Yaozu knew his 'exercise' method, I don't know if he would say that.

"Do you still understand? In particular, English and mathematics are very serious. ”

"Math is passable, English, hehe......" Chen Yadong scratched his hair awkwardly, embarrassed to continue.

Chatting with Zhao Yaozu, Chen Yadong feels at home, he always picks on the other party's things and says it, so that people will not feel dumb. His initial nervousness slowly faded into the chat. As soon as the conversation box opened, the old and the young seemed to hate each other. The topic shifted from school life to Chen Yadong's family, such as where home is, what specialties are there, and where are the fun places. evoked Chen Yadong's infinite memories, and gradually let go of his defense.

Subsequently, the topic came to the Zhao family, and Zhao Yaozu said: "My eldest son Zhao Xiongfeng is several years older than you, and he has been out for almost three years. ”

Chen Yadong asked curiously: "Where is Brother Xiongfeng now, what are you doing?" ”

Zhao Yaozu's eyes flashed with pride and said: "Actually, I don't know where he is, he doesn't have a fixed residence, but he has always been my pride." Without any funding from me, he started from scratch and already had his own business. ”

Chen Yadong exclaimed: "Brother Xiongfeng is really powerful......"

"Hehe......" Zhao Yaozu's eyes quickly dimmed, and he sighed and said, "It's a pity that he is not by my side." I could only see his shadow in my dreams every time. Although there is also contact from time to time, I can only face the cold phone call, and I have an indescribable loss in my heart. ”

Chen Yadong nodded in understanding, he has only been away from home for two months, and he is always thinking about his parents, maybe they are also thinking about themselves! He comforted and said: "The little bird belongs to the blue sky after all, and I want to come back to accompany you when Brother Xiongfeng's career is successful." ”

Zhao Yaozu said: "Of course I can understand this, but let's take you to say, if you leave your family in high school and be admitted to a university in three years, you will have to save it." If you don't pass the exam, you also go out to work, how many days do you spend with your parents? ”

Chen Yadong has a deep understanding of this, although his parents did not talk about his eldest brother, they often turned out photos of him when he was a child and looked at him in a daze. Thinking about the fact that I have now left my parents, they are even more lonely. If he could, he really wanted to be by his parents' side.

Zhao Yaozu ignored the change in Chen Yadong's expression, and said leisurely: "People are old, now I want to have a son by my side to talk and talk about my heart." ”

Chen Yadong listened to it and thought that maybe this was also the ideal of most empty nesters. But Zhao Yaozu's words seem to be aimed at himself? This idea was quickly put behind him, and there was nothing worth it for him to look up to.

Zhao Yaozu suddenly raised his head, looked at Chen Yadong with a gleam in his eyes and said, "You and I hit it off at first sight, and I don't know if it's the fate arranged by God?" ”

The question of "......" stumped Chen Yadong, let's say no, but Aunt Fang happened to save herself, and it can really be regarded as fate. But yes, that doesn't seem to admit that he's his son? At this time, Chen Yadong knew that he had won the plan. Casually said: "If you have time, I'm happy to chat with you, but ......"

Before Chen Yadong could continue, Zhao Yaozu laughed and said, "So, are you willing to be my godson?" Haha, okay. ”

"This ......" Chen Yadong was speechless to the extreme, and he didn't refute the entrance at all. At this time, Li Fang came out of the kitchen, tore off her apron and said, "How are you talking?" The meal is ready, let's eat! ”

Zhao Yaozu didn't give Chen Yadong a chance to speak, stood up and took his hand and said, "Let's go, why don't you have a meal together for the first time." ”

Alas! Chen Yadong sighed and replayed the conversation between him and Zhao Yaozu after he entered the door, it is not difficult to see that this Zhao Yaozu accepted him as his godson was not a momentary idea, but a premeditated plan! Let's start with his life, dilute his restraint, and then turn to life, talking about Zhao Xiongfeng to win Chen Yadong's sympathy. Wait for him to fall into the trap he laid step by step, and then close the net strongly, sealing all Chen Yadong's retreats. It's too late to understand.

However, in his heart, Chen Yadong does not reject being his godson, maybe this is also a way to repay the Zhao family.

From Zhao Yaozu's point of view, most of them were sympathetic to Chen Yadong, and after he came home from a business trip, he listened to Li Fang talk about Chen Yadong, and he felt pity. But it is not difficult to see from the incident of Chen Yadong moving out alone that he Chen Yadong is proud of his personality. If he is not desperate, he will never accept any help from strangers. So Zhao Yaozu came up with a trick to take his son in, and Chen Yadong really hit the plan. And there was no opposition, which was also expected by him.

Because of the relationship between his godfather, Chen Yadong and the Zhao family have a closer relationship and talk a lot, including his brother who goes out and works hard, and the pain that has always been hidden in his heart.

"It's definitely not as good as staying at home to live outside, so let's Yadong, move back tomorrow, so as not to pay rent outside."

"This, I ......"

"Yes, that's a good idea. I'm going to clean up the room. ”

Zhao Yaozu and Li Fang sang and joined together, and they didn't give Chen Yadong a chance to speak at all.

The room they arranged was on the second floor, and Zhao Yi smiled at the master bedroom across the door. It had everything, a desk, a lamp, a computer, etc., and it was better decorated than the one he lived in when he was injured. Quilts, shoes, etc. are all brand new. It is clear that they have made great preparations for this godson. There is a small door on the east side, and there is a balcony outside, where you can see the moon rising in the east.

Zhao Yi smiled and muttered: "This is my brother's favorite room, and it is also the best one, which has been occupied by him for a long time." ”

"Oh? Isn't that now occupied by me? ”

"Hehe, you're my brother now."

"Hehe," Chen Yadong smiled knowingly, touched Zhao Yixiao's little head and said, "It's good to have a sister like you!" ”

Zhao Yixiao's face flushed, and he blinked his eyes and looked directly at Chen Yadong's Qingxiu face and asked, "Really?" ”

"Really!"

The next day, Zhao Yixiao accompanied Chen Yadong to his residence to get his luggage, he didn't have a lot of things, and he returned to Zhao's house at noon, which can be regarded as his new home! Maybe three years here.

Chen Yadong thought that in high school, he should not leave here, but the changes in the world exceeded his expectations, and the later choice was not like this.
