Chapter 147: Missing Father's Love
Chapter 147: Missing Father's Love
Lin Pei pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, he used to be the backbone of the family, and the family revolved around him, but now it's good, his younger brother has become the backbone.
This gap is a bit big for him, and it also involves the dignity of men.
got out of the car, Lin Xu helped his old father to walk in front, and Lin Pei's family of three walked behind, and entered the house in a beautiful manner.
The courtyard has been cleaned, and the flowers and plants in the flower beds are all newly planted, and so much work has been done in less than a day, which shows Lin Xu's efficiency.
In the final analysis, it is also the role of money, when the money is spent in place, the people are in place, and what you want to do will naturally be smooth sailing.
Walking into the hall, there was a tempting fragrance wafting from the kitchen, Lin Xu said: "Dad, I invited a chef for our family, today you can taste his craftsmanship, if it doesn't suit your appetite, let's change it." ”
The old man was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and his son was out of breath, better than anything else.
Lin Xu said to Lin Pei: "Brother, you Zhang Luo Zhang Luo, invite your former relatives and friends to have a meal, I will be the east, first, to inform everyone that we have moved back, and second, to activate the network." ”
"Okay."
Maggie Chu asked, "Does Uncle want to do it small or big?" ”
Lin Xu: "Of course, the bigger the better." ”
Maggie Chu said confidently: "Okay, wrap it up on us." ”
Lin Pei's family settled down in the front building, and Lin Xu helped the old father to the small building in the back.
This three-story small western-style building was built in the past, and at that time the whole family lived here, and later the eldest brother's business started, and he built a better and bigger villa in front.
When the bank came to seal it, all the valuable things in the front building were taken away, but the small building was basically untouched.
Helping the old father to sit on the sofa, Lin Xu poured two more cups of hot tea, "Dad, drinking tea, it's still comfortable at home, right?" ”
The old man took a sip of hot tea and looked around, "Of course, nothing is as good as your own home." ”
Lin Xu didn't call the maid to follow up, he just wanted the father and son to chat quietly for a while, he said: "Dad, there is no one else here, I just want to ask you a few words, about Xiaoqian, I hope you can tell me truthfully." ”
"Okay, you ask."
"How are the eldest brother and sister-in-law doing to Xiaoqian?"
The old man was silent, the younger son's question was the same as he thought, he raised his head, looked at the last photo of the deceased old woman with cloudy eyes, and did not speak.
Lin Xu said again: "Dad, don't worry, I will never embarrass my eldest brother and sister-in-law, this house is still in the name of my eldest brother, I just want to know my daughter's life in the past fifteen years." ”
"In front of your mother, I don't favor anyone, you parents all ignore Xiaoqian, and expect others to help you teach your daughter? Since you asked, then I'll tell you that Xiao Qian is worse than a maid in the Lin family, and the maid can change the owner if he is not happy, but Xiao Qian can't change it. In the past, your brother and sister-in-law were in charge of the family, and your mother and I are old, so we can't look past it and what can we say, so we can only keep the children by your side and watch. ”
"It's nothing, Xiao Qian was just ridiculed for having a father and no mother, just being scolded for dragging the oil bottle broom star, just being a punching bag for others, now that she has grown up and married, it is Xiao Qian's own good fortune and marrying a husband who is good to her, our Lin family, really didn't give her anything."
The old man was reluctant to say more, but just these few words, every sentence was heart-wrenching, and every word was bloody, and his heart had been poked into a hornet's nest.
Lin Xu came to the small room where Lin Qian lived before, it was still the room between him and his ex-wife He Xin, the bed, wardrobe, and dresser were all original, but a small set of combined desks was added.
He slowly walked to his desk, pulled out a chair and sat down, and there were many books of various sizes on the shelves in front of him.
He could imagine the little Lin Qian sitting here reading and writing, those were the pasts he desperately longed for but lost forever.
He pulled out a book casually, it was a small picture album, with the crooked word "Lin Qian" on it, he remembered that this album was the name he wrote on Lin Qian's hand, and it was also one of the few times he spent with Lin Qian.
Flipping the page, the title of the first page is - My Mom and Dad.
Seeing that painting, his heart throbbed violently, it turned out that Lin Qian painted his parents and her three people holding small hands, but now this painting has become Xiao Lin Qian standing between two black pillars, and Lin Qian used a black pen to erase his parents out.
Lin Qian was only five years old that year, and the five-year-old child actually understood everything, her father was gone, her mother was gone, and for her she was losing the whole world.
Guilt, remorse, and self-blame suddenly condensed and accumulated on his chest like an air mass, making it uncomfortable for him to even breathe.
Lin Xu's tears burst out of his eyes, he was glad that he had decided to return to China, and that he could make up for his daughter in his lifetime.
Outside, Maggie Chu urged her husband to come to Lin Xu, "Ask him quickly, if he said before that he would help you open the company again, it doesn't count." ”
Lin Pei was really embarrassed, "Why are you in such a hurry, just come back." ”
"It's just to strike while the iron is hot, hurry up, you go and ask!"
Maggie Chu pushed her husband in, "Uncle, I've been looking for you for a long time, so you are here, and your brother has something to ask you." ”
Lin Xu stabilized his emotions, "What's the matter?" ”
Lin Pei was embarrassed, hesitated and refused to speak, Maggie Chu squeezed her eyebrows, and pushed him vigorously, Lin Pei had to hesitate and said: "It's the plan I mentioned to you before, it's okay to be idle at home now, I want to start another business, but Lin's signboard is worth a few yuan." ”
Lin Xu turned around and said bluntly, "Big brother, sister-in-law, that's the case, I have asked someone to evaluate, the signboard of Lin's enterprise is not valuable, instead of spending time and energy on Lin's enterprise, why don't you come and help me, I just returned to China and am short of manpower." ”
He didn't agree to come down before, but he didn't expect his brother and sister-in-law to be so good at taking things out of context, I haven't seen him for many years, he has more social experience, and he can naturally see what kind of person his sister-in-law is and what she is looking for.
And his eldest brother, to be honest, he doesn't think that his eldest brother is a piece of business material, if he inherited his father's property, the Lin family would definitely not develop into what it is now.
Of course, if they treat Lin Qian well, he will definitely help the eldest brother make a comeback without saying a word.
"This ...... Then I'll think about it. Lin Pei is not willing to work for others.
Maggie Chu's eyes were sharp, and she saw the painting on the desk at a glance, she suddenly sighed emotionally, and said: "Alas, Lin Qian has also suffered all these years, she is like you, she has a smart brain, she has been naughty since she was a child, and it is difficult for me to do it, no matter whether she cares or not, she will fall into the hands of others, and we can only ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing, I hope you understand." ”
Lin Xu nodded, "Sister-in-law, I have to thank you no matter what, so this villa is still the name of the eldest brother, which should be regarded as my reward for raising Lin Qian for many years." ”
Maggie Zhu is exquisite, Lin Xu is also very sleek, and one sentence makes the eldest brother and sister-in-law have no reason to make inches, and the two couples have to smile weakly.
"Big brother, I happen to lack a business executive there, you understand the domestic market, the most suitable, I hope you think about it."
"Okay, okay."
