Chapter 11: Dad's Letter
Chapter 11: Dad's Letter
Dad has been out for nearly a month, and there is no news yet, which makes Zeng Xunque very worried. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info tried to contact him, but found that there was no so-called contact information at all.
Therefore, for several days, Zeng Xunque was depressed. This had to make Quan Yunzhen worried.
When I had breakfast this day, Zeng Xunque was absent-minded, and there was still a big bowl left after eating a good breakfast for a long time.
Seeing him like this, Quan Yunzhen couldn't help but start asking worriedly, "Zeng Xunque, ...... you Are you okay? Are you okay? β
"Oh, I...... I'm fine! β
"You're like this now, but it's all written all over your face! It's been a few days, what the hell, I can help you solve it! β
Zeng Xunque was a little entangled in his heart, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Actually...... I'm a little worried about my dad, he's been out for almost a month, why still hasn't there been any news......"
His words gave Quan Yunzhen a wake-up call, he got a monthly letter delivery service at the post office, and according to normal circumstances, it should be almost there in the next few days. When his son mentioned this, he remembered it.
"Don't worry, your dad is ...... It's going to be fine. It may be that the letter will arrive in a few days. β
"How do you know my dad will be sending me a letter these days? I didn't say he would send a letter, did he? Zeng Xunque was instantly attracted by this sentence, he really couldn't figure out why this man knew too much about his father.
"I ......" Quan Yunzhen fell silent again, and he was quick for a while, but he didn't expect to leak too many things. Now, I have to make up lies to make up for it.
"I guess, do people who work in other places like to use such things as stationery and send letters home every month? Just like in the nineties of the last century. β
"Well, my dad is really like this, and he's not used to using mobile phones."
Quan Yunzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, don't worry. Your dad will be fine, put a hundred hearts down. The letter will arrive soon. β
"Well, I hope to borrow your good words." Quan Yunzhen's words actually made Zeng Xunque feel very relieved at this moment.
"Hurry up and eat, we have to go to class later, it's time to be late."
β¦β¦
Quan Yunzhen is really like a fairy, and the predicted thing really happened, at least in Zeng Xunque's eyes. He said that his father would send him a letter in the next few days, and sure enough, he received the long-awaited letter two days later.
With apprehension, Zeng Xunque carefully opened the thin letter paper. It was written in black and white, and it was indeed my father's handwriting.
The moment he saw the handwriting, Zeng Xunque felt much more comfortable. There is not much content in the letter, but Zeng Xunque pondered it word by word, and told it eloquently:
"Baby Son:
This is the first letter Dad has written to you in his first month away. I'm sorry, but Dad is too busy to contact you often. Please forgive Daddy for not.
You are a good boy who is strong and obedient, and I know that you will take good care of yourself even if your father is not there. Dad is fine here, everything is going well, you don't have to worry about me. You have to study hard in school and not delay your studies, otherwise everything your dad has done will be in vain.
Forgive Dad for not saying anything, and not quite writing about these things. But Dad still misses you very much, I don't know if you miss Daddy. Dad is very busy here and doesn't have much time to write letters, so you don't have to worry about it.
βDaddy"
A few simple sentences were read so that Zeng Xunque burst into tears, stroking the somewhat crumpled letterhead, as if he saw the scene of his father writing a letter under the lamp, and the tears soaked the letterhead, and then became crumpled.
"Dad......" Zeng Xunque couldn't help but call out in a lost voice.
"Did you hear from Dad?" Quan Yunzhen didn't know when he ran behind him, startled him, and quickly put away the letter.
"Well, the letter I just received."
"No wonder, I want to cry when I look so seriously." Quan Yunzhen said deliberately jokingly.
Zeng Xunque rubbed his ruddy eyes and said, "How can I have it, it's just that I was blown by the wind just now." β
"Really? You said that this house is so good, where does the wind come from? β
"You! I don't want to pay attention to you! β
"Alright, alright!" Quan Yunzhen dragged Zeng Xunque, who was feigned anger, and admitted his mistake and said, "I'm sorry, can't I say it?" It doesn't matter if you miss your father! β
"Humph!"
"Did your dad say in the letter that it was okay, and then asked you to take care of yourself!"
Zeng Xunque looked at him again with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "How do you know this?" You peeked?"
"How is that possible? I guess! Isn't it the usual routine for parents to write to their children? β
Hehe, how can you not know the contents of the letter you wrote? Quan Yunzhen smiled proudly.
"Well, well! Yes, indeed. The letter that I have been waiting for for so long, although the content is short, is still worth it. Zeng Xunque said softly, breathing a sigh of relief.
"I'll just say, your dad will be fine."
"Okay, you're amazing, aren't you?" As he spoke, he rolled his eyes at Quan Yunzhen and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Where are you going?"
Zeng Xunque turned his head helplessly and said helplessly, "Where else can I go?" Replying to my dad, of course! β
"What? No way! "If you send a letter back now, won't your own affairs be exposed? Absolutely not.
"Can't do it? What do you mean by saying no? I'm going to send a letter to my dad, why can't I?"
"I ...... I mean, if you send a letter to your dad now, he won't be able to receive it. β
"How do you know my dad is inconvenient?" Zeng Xunque asked tightly step by step.
"I just...... Guess ......"
"Guess? Why do you do this every time, and why do you guess what other people mean every time! You don't understand anything! β
"I ......" Quan Yunzhen had nothing to say at the moment, he didn't know why Zeng Xunque was angry.
"You can't know how much power my letter will bring to my dad, and you can't know how much my dad expects me to write back to him. You don't know anything, so why can you say no?" Zeng Xunque said a lot, and there was only a disappointed look in his eyes. That gaze deeply pierced Quan Yunzhen's heart.
Silly boy, how could Dad not understand? Dad understands, Dad just doesn't want your letter to sink into the sea and get no reply, Dad just doesn't want you to be alone and look forward to it. It's all Dad's fault, Dad is sorry for you......
"I... I... I'm sorry... I don't know you care about this, you shouldn't have heard what I said......" Quan Yunzhen is like a child who has done something wrong at the moment, and keeps admitting his mistakes to the 'son' in front of him.
Zeng Xunque didn't say much, maybe he also realized that his emotions were too excited, and used Quan Yunzhen as a bucket to vent his emotions.
He left silently, there was still a trace of melancholy on his face, and then he couldn't say a word to Quan Yunzhen in school all day.
However, on the way out of school, he waited for Quan Yunzhen at the school gate.
When Quan Yunzhen saw Zeng Xunque in front of the school gate, he was still very happy in his heart, and couldn't help but walk towards him with joyful steps.
But on second thought, something wasn't right. How could he possibly wait for me? He hasn't forgiven me for today's incident, he must be waiting for his girlfriend.
Thinking about it, Quan Yunzhen lowered his head, intending to walk over silently like this. But he didn't expect Zeng Xunque to put his hands on his shoulders.
"Why are you walking so fast! Pretend you didn't see me! Isn't it naΓ―ve? β
Quan Yunzhen looked at his face up close, and his face was moved unconsciously.
"I ...... I thought you were ignoring me..."
Zeng Xunque smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "Am I the kind of person who holds grudges?" Well, I'm not doing well today, maybe I just read my dad's letter, so I'm a little overdone......"
"It's okay, I'm okay. If you forgive me, it'll be fine. I promise not to talk much next time. Write a letter, and I'll send it with you when the time comes. β
"Hmm."
"Alright, let's go! To make up for my mistake today, please eat something delicious. β
"Delicious again?"
"Of course, it's time for you to make up for it."
"I think you want to make it up!"
β¦β¦
In the middle of the night, Zeng Xunque lost sleep again. Lying on the bed, I remembered my father's letter, opened the envelope again, and read it again by the bedside light.
There was a steady breathing sound outside the house, Zeng Xunque whispered to the small bed, walked to the desk, picked up the pen on the table, and began to write:
"Dad!
I received your letter, and I was relieved to know that you were there. I took good care of myself in your absence, you don't have to worry.
Recently, I had a classmate live in my home. I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance. He's a good new friend of mine, he's a rich second generation, and he's a very nice person. It's weird, and I don't know why he's suddenly been nice to me lately, and then cares about me too. I can always find that familiar shadow in him. That indescribable familiarity.
He took good care of me every day and felt like you were there for me.
With him next to me, it felt like I wasn't as lonely as I was at home. Actually, I'm really grateful to him, he really treated me like a good friend. He was the first person to treat me well besides you, and I will cherish this friendship.
Okay, Dad, I'll tell you everything about myself. I'd also like to hear from you next time about your side.
You must take care of your health, everything will be fine at home with your son.
Handwritten by Xunque"
Gently folding the letterpaper covered with handwriting, Zeng Xunque's eyes began to flash with tears.
Dad, I will be strong, and one day, I will become a real man, who can let you rely on and not let you be so tired. You have to wait for me, wait for the moment when I reach the pinnacle of life.
Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Zeng Xunque's eyes became more determined, and the thoughts in his heart became more firm!
