"Dad, where are you? Are you gambling again? In the evening, Ye Qiu's small clinic was already much free, and he was calculating today's turnover, when Ye Chan called, and her tone was very panicked and anxious.

Ye Qiu smiled, not angry, but a little cautious: "Chan'er, don't panic, Dad didn't go to gamble, Dad now knows that he is wrong and has quit gambling." ”

"Really?" Ye Chan asked in disbelief.

"Really, Dad assures you with this old life, Dad will gamble in the future, and you won't recognize me as Dad." Ye Qiu's words are vibrant.

Ye Chan suddenly interrupted him: "Why did you suddenly say such a serious thing, have you committed an unforgivable crime, how can I deny you." ”

Ye Qiu listened a little weak-hearted, although his "previous life" was not heinous, but for this daughter, he forced her into a desperate situation, and it was no different from a scumbag.

"And where are you now?" Ye Chan asked again.

"At the mouth of the North Hutong, there's a shop called Autumn Cicada Clinic."

Ye Chan hung up the phone and rushed from Ye Qiu's old house, and saw Ye Qiu staying in a newly built small clinic to settle accounts, and there were two old people next to him chatting with his father while drinking tea.

"Chan'er is here, sit down, Dad made you a cup of tea." Ye Qiu took the bag in Ye Chan's hand with some kindness, pushed her to the seat and sat down, and served the tea that had been brewed a long time ago, this tea was made with traditional Chinese medicine, which was good for a woman's body.

"Xiao Ye, since your daughter is here, we will go back first, and come back tomorrow to sit." The old brother and the old man looked at Ye Chan with a smile, humming a little song and leaving.

Ye Chan was a little stunned from the moment she came in, and she didn't come back to her senses until she had a cup of hot tea in her hand.

"Taste it and see how it tastes?" Ye Qiu smiled at her daughter, and lowered her head to settle the account.

Ye Chan took a sip of tea obediently, her eyebrows were raised, and then she took another sip, her whole body and mind seemed to be comfortable, and even the depression in her heart during this time had gone a lot.

"Dad, what kind of tea is this? It's pretty good. ”

"Delicious? It's good to drink it, and Dad will soak it for you every day in the future. Ye Qiu smiled kindly.

Ye Chan looked at him like this, as if she was back when she was a child, when her father cared about whether she ate well and whether she was bullied, and gave her good food every day.

But later, as she got older and the two talked less and less, she couldn't remember the last time she was so harmonious with her father.

"Dad, why are you in this clinic today?" Ye Chan saw that her father was alone in this clinic, and asked curiously, "What about the boss here?" ”

"Isn't that the boss here?" Ye Qiu smiled embarrassedly.

"You?" Ye Chan's eyes really widened, "Dad, when are you ......?"

Ye Chan didn't finish her next words, Ye Qiu followed her meaning and said: "It just opened today, how is it, it's not bad." ”

"No, how did you come up with the idea of opening a clinic? Where did you get the money? ”

"Didn't I listen to you three months ago and stop gambling after paying off the money? But after paying back the money, I still had some itchy hands, but I didn't expect my luck to be so good that day, and I won 800,000 at once. Ye Qiu glanced at her daughter uncomfortably when she said it.

"Don't be angry, after that bet, I really swore never to gamble again, and that place was also seized, I just want to gamble and there is no place to gamble!"

Ye Chan heard that Ye Qiu wanted to gamble, and raised her heart again.

Ye Qiu then said: "After I stopped gambling, I found that it was not a solution for me to do nothing all day, and I was embarrassed to go back after quitting my job in the hospital, so I used the money I won that day to open such a clinic, which can be regarded as passing the time." ”

"Really don't gamble anymore?"

"Really, I swear!"

Ye Chan breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that her father would fall into the abyss from which she would never recover, but this clinic is quite good, although it is small, it looks clean and tidy, and there are some old neighborhoods around, so it is not bad to chat with her father.

"Have you had dinner? Dad has finished settling the accounts, and now he will go home and cook and eat. Ye Qiu observed this daughter's face and found that she was a little thinner than three months ago, and couldn't help but feel distressed, "Dad has researched a few new tonic soups in the past few days, and I will make them for you to taste." ”

"You're going to do this?" Ye Chan is funny.

Ye Qiu puffed up his chest: "How could it not?" Your father and I are also an old Chinese medicine doctor, and I still know how to make soup. ”

The ingredients are available at home, and if there is no Ye Qiu, go to the space to pick them, and the most fresh water is harmless.

Seeing her father busy in the kitchen, Ye Chan finally let go of a big stone in her heart, but there was still a lot of sadness between her eyebrows, and she thought that there should be something else pressing on her heart.

When he was an hour, Ye Qiu cooked a meal, and Ye Chan, who had no appetite due to the troubles of this time, rarely had a great appetite.

"If you like to eat, eat more, Dad will have nothing to do in the future, come over when you have time, Dad will make it for you." Ye Qiu vigorously gave Ye Chan vegetables.

"Hmm." Ye Chan buried her head in eating, and her voice was choked.

"Did you get wronged in the Li family?" Ye Qiu asked cautiously, "Why didn't Chengyu come with you?" Speaking of which, I haven't seen him in almost a year. ”

Ye Chan smiled unnaturally: "The company is a little busy, I will let him come over if I have time." ”

Ye Qiu sighed: "Am I a father who has embarrassed you?" Is he looking down on my father-in-law? ”

"No, Dad, why do you think that?"

"I don't think so, so tell me why you're so thin all of a sudden? Did he bully you? Does he have a woman outside? ”

"Dad, don't think about it so much, I'll take care of the things over there."

"That's it?" Ye Qiu suddenly put down his chopsticks, "That bastard, does he have a conscience?" No, mine went to settle accounts with him. ”

"That's it!" Ye Chan suddenly yelled, and then her eyes turned red, and her crying voice was full of exhaustion, "Dad, what's the use of you just going to him?" I asked him if he didn't admit it, would he repent if you went? ”

"Chan'er...... It's Dad who is useless and can't support you. Ye Qiu stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Ye Chan's head, "If you are wronged, vent it, you can always be yourself here with Dad, and you will always be Dad's baby daughter." ”

"Dad......" Ye Chan suddenly cried bitterly, and then reached out to hug Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu hugged her daughter's head and stroked her hair over and over again, a faint warmth lingering between father and daughter.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Dad's Chan'er don't be afraid, Dad will always protect you."

After a long time, when the food was almost cold, Ye Chan finally relieved her emotions, and then looked at Ye Qiu and laughed.
