Chapter 6: Night Talk
"Teacher Qu, good evening. ”
Miao Miao looks quite similar to his father, if Miao Miao is a little thinner, it will be completely a children's version of Teacher Qu. However, he is still young, and the future is limitless.
Miao Miao's father looked at me and was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Xiao Xie, what's the matter at such a late hour, is Miao Miao causing trouble?"
"Miao Miao didn't get into trouble. "This must be explained.
Miao Miao's father is good-looking, extraordinary, and has a good voice, and he is very easy to get along with. I really can't understand why Miao Miao's mother divorced him. Now, this is not the time to think about that.
"However, I also want to talk to you about Miao Miao, can I delay you a little time?"
He glanced at the open door behind me and nodded slightly.
"You please. ”
Although I have been to Miao Miao's house more than once, this is the first time Mr. Qu has come to our house. Slippers, I've got them ready.
But when I saw the light gray socks with a cat's head on his feet, I was still a little surprised. It's hard to imagine that Mr. Qu, who looks so serious, would wear such interesting socks.
"You may be seated. ”
I, as for it, sat across from him.
I quietly looked at my watch, and it was already 10:05. I've got to finish this in 10 minutes, and I'm going to work tomorrow.
"Miao Miao is a sensible child. Miao Miao's father looked at me and nodded, motioning for me to continue.
The way he looks gives me the illusion that I have returned to my student days, going to the teacher to ask for a novel that he confiscated, and the teacher will stare at you like this, and make you say why you read the novel, until you admit your mistake.
However, no matter how sensible he is, he is still a child after all. You can't treat him like an adult, you say, can you?"
Miao Miao's father looked at me and opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.
He didn't speak, so I had to continue, "I'm not married either, I may not understand your feelings." However, I can understand Miao Miao's feelings. After all, I'm also from his age. Although he doesn't say it, he actually hopes that you can spend more time with him. ”
Miao Miao's father just stared at the water cup on the coffee table seriously, and didn't speak, and I couldn't guess what he was thinking, so I had to continue.
"Those children you teach are flowers, and this one at home is also a flower, and he is still a flower bone. You can't favor one over the other, right?"
Miao Miao's father opened his mouth to say something, but before he could say anything, Xu Ye came out slowly.
He noticed that the light was still on in the living room and glanced at us. also said hello to Miao Miao's father.
"Hello Mr. Qu. He said with a confused expression.
To tell the truth, I was quite surprised that he could still recognize Miao Miao's father like this.
After speaking, he didn't wait for Miao Miao's father to say anything, he left.
After he left, Miao Miao's father turned to look at me again.
After a while, there was a 'bang' sound from Xu Ye's side.
It should be mentioned here that the door of the bathroom in this house is open to the outside, and Xu Ye will always forget about it. Now, he slept in a daze, and he didn't remember it anymore.
"He... Are you alright?" Miao Miao's father was about to get up.
I hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's okay, that door is made of wood, and it can't break people." ”
Miao Miao's father looked at me in surprise, I nodded with a calm expression, and spilled the water when I said it. And I'm not wrong.
It was probably my composure that infected Miao Miao's father, and he didn't get up to check on Xu Ye's side in the end. It's just that he looks at that side with a worried face.
Luckily, all rooms in the house are soundproofed, and the bathroom door closes automatically. Otherwise, Miao Miao's father and I will die of embarrassment here.
His mind is now on Xu Ye, and I just have time to think about what to say next.
A normal person should have been sober a long time ago when he was hit. But, who is being hit now, it is Xu Ye. It cannot be measured by normal human standards.
Xu Ye quickly came out of the bathroom, his head tilted slightly to the right, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was still walking leisurely.
Looking at him like this, I suddenly thought of a game I used to play, and now he is very much like the zombie in it.
Fortunately, he remembered where his room was, and the door to his room was open, so he finally didn't hit it again.
I looked up at my watch again, and it was a quarter past ten. My plan has officially failed.
"Teacher Qu. I called him softly, I really wanted to end the topic early and go to bed.
Miao Miao's father turned his head to look at me, I didn't want to smile at him anymore, I was so sleepy. Normally, at this time, I would have fallen asleep.
"The matter between you and your wife, I'm an outsider, it's really hard to say anything. But, as Miao Miao's friend, I have to tell you. Your obsession with your career as a way to escape that thing is hurting Miao Miao. ”
Miao Miao's father was still silent, but looking at his expression, it was more like acquiescing to what I said. He was borrowing work to numb himself so that he didn't have to face the house that had lost its mistress. It's just that he forgot about his underage children.
Actually, I wish he could refute me. But he still didn't say anything.
I stopped looking at him and whispered, "How long can a child's childhood be?" Miao Miao is already 11 years old and about to enter junior high school. Soon, he won't be able to celebrate Children's Day anymore. Those missed times will never be recovered. ”
After saying this, I looked at Miao Miao's father, who didn't look at me and began to stare at the water cup on the coffee table again. But I saw guilt in his face.
So, I hit the railroad while it was hot: "You should spend more time with Miao Miao, now, you and Miao Miao are at home, and you just got off work so late, he is a child, and he feels very insecure." Why don't you take him back to his grandparents, what do you think?"
Miao Miao's father smiled at me, not a sneer, but a gentle kind.
"I see. Thank you, little thanks. ”
I don't just want to say that. But, when I think about it, I don't have any qualifications to ask him to do those things. Moreover, I also promised that Miao Miao would not tell him about it.
"It's good that you know. "I decided to wait and see what happens, and if he hasn't done it tomorrow, it's not too late for me to do it.
"Then I'll go back first, and you can rest early. ”
As a polite neighbor, of course, I was going to send him to the door.
I can't help but look at his socks when he changes his shoes. I decided, I'm going to buy a pair tomorrow too.
"Teacher Qu, goodbye. I said as I stood in the doorway.
He waved at me, "Goodbye, go back and rest." ”
I was so sleepy and didn't want to play a game with him about who closes first. So, after he had finished speaking, I closed the door.
When I walked to the living room and saw the water cup on the coffee table, I was a little glad that I had prepared plain water, which I would have had to drink myself if it was two glasses of milk.
After putting the water glass back in the kitchen, I looked at my watch, and it was not yet half past ten.
By the time I finished washing, it was exactly half past ten.
When I saw TV, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell Miao Miao's father that I would let Miao Miao watch less TV in the future. However, I don't plan to bother him anymore, so I'll find time to talk to Miao Miao tomorrow.
