Chapter 62: Tacit Understanding
Father and Uncle Geng became even more nervous, especially Father, Shen Yu caught a glimpse of his legs trembling a little.
For so many years, she actually didn't have many opportunities to communicate with her father.
In Shen Yu's eyes, his father is a workaholic who is completely different from his mother.
My mother always looked like she was in a hurry, and when she was a business manager in the factory, she was resolute, and when she encountered something, she always rushed straight up when she screamed.
My father rarely spoke, he didn't drink or smoke, and he had a regular schedule. The factory works at 8 o'clock every day, but the canteen opens at 5 o'clock, and most of the first group of people are workers who work the night shift.
My father always got up at half-past four, washed up, and went out with his bag.
"Lao Shen is really amazing, I can always see him through the glass every morning. He walked over unhurriedly, and the time when he walked to the door of the cafeteria was exactly five o'clock! The master of the canteen once praised people.
When he went home, he rushed there every quarter of an hour before the end of the canteen, and then wiped his mouth after eating, and when he walked out of the cafeteria door, it was the time when the door was closed.
He always goes to work and goes home so meticulously, because he gets up early and comes back late, Shen Yu doesn't have much time to see him.
Even on weekends, he continued to go to the lab most of the time, or shut himself in his study, either reading books or writing and doing the math.
He is quiet and focused, and seems to be the best fit for the job he does.
But just as bad is that while he is working diligently, he also inadvertently neglects his family.
A babbling but absent-minded mother, a father who focuses on research but is silent and dull, and an aunt who is insensitive and has communication disorders, this is all that Shen Yu faced in his childhood.
However, at that moment, she saw another side of her father.
He was afraid, and although he could still restrain his fear, he was already afraid.
What is he afraid of? Is it because he is afraid that his daughter will be hurt?
Could it be that the grinning young man in front of him is really particularly dangerous?
Shen Yu looked at his father, and then at Uncle Geng, unlike his father, who could pretend to be calm, Uncle Geng was already a little panicked.
"Don't be afraid, girl......" his voice trembled.
The young man looked back at Uncle Geng again, and Uncle Geng reluctantly closed his mouth.
"Uncle—will you really give me a little raccoon?" Shen Yu asked him.
"Definitely—the game is, you just name one thing you see when you go in, and I'll buy you a pack of crispy noodles."
"I ...... Actually, I don't like to eat crispy noodles, I just want to collect the Water Margin cards in it. Shen Yu said smutteringly.
"No problem, you can throw it away if you don't eat it, and it's okay to leave the Water Margin card." The man said.
"Really?" Shen Yu asked excitedly, "Then I want to think about it!" ”
The room fell silent, and she felt everyone holding their breath for different reasons.
"I saw the machines, a lot of the same machines in the factory." Shen Yu said.
"What else? Which machine impressed you the most? Let's go into details, a machine, a bag of raccoons. The man continued to induce.
"It's just a lot of machines, something like an iron lump." Shen Yu pursed his lips unhappily, "Uncle, the machines all look the same, can't I remember which machine and what it looks like and won't buy it for me?" ”
"Give and give! What else? ”
"And the door—the door counts as a thing, right? There was also a mountain, and there were rocks and trees on the mountain, and there was the big cage for pigeons at the bottom of the mountain, and I was sleepy, so I climbed in and slept. Uncle, there are a few things, oh yes, there are many trees on the mountain, is one tree the same thing? ”
"Forget it!" Shen Yu saw the person standing up impatiently, and he rudely interrupted her.
"Uncle, no, I still remember, there are clouds in the sky! There are also telephone poles on the ground! It's all a thing! That's a lot of packs of little raccoons! ”
The man hurriedly took out fifty yuan from his pocket and stuffed it to Uncle Geng.
"Lao Geng, you go buy crispy noodles for me, don't call this kid to talk! - Xiao Wang, let's go! Lao Shen, it's time for you to go to work too! ”
"Uncle, don't go, I still remember things! And what's more! Shen Yu chased after him and shouted, but the man had already trotted all the way out of the house, and he slammed the door shut.
Uncle Geng looked at his father, and the two breathed a sigh of relief.
"Those two neuropaths are really rare and strange - children are children, what can children remember?" Uncle Geng said with a smile, "But Old Shen, what is going on in 'No. 1', why is it suddenly chattering and so heavily guarded?" ”
"Old Geng, this matter is confidential and can't be said. But don't worry, it's not a matter of harming nature and reason anyway. Father explained a few words rarely, he stretched out his hand, patted Shen Yu's head, and smiled meaningfully at her.
"You go home, don't run around."
"Hmm." Shen Yu nodded and said. It could be seen from the look in her eyes that her father had actually guessed her plan, but he didn't say it.
In fact, she doesn't eat crispy noodles at all, and she is not interested in Water Margin cards. She just overheard many classmates talking about the little raccoon and the Water Margin.
She had actually seen through that man's tricks, and if she really said what she had seen and heard, it might bring disaster to herself, her father, and Uncle Geng.
Therefore, she chose to pretend to be a confused but "lustful" child, wanting to indulge in the past and let the man be completely reassured, and the man really gave up asking, but all this was seen through by her father.
"Come on, girl, Uncle will take you to the store outside to buy a little raccoon, and by the way, I will buy you a snowman popsicle to eat!" Uncle Geng seemed to be relieved, and he happily pulled Shen Yu out.
Shen Yu originally wanted to tell Uncle Geng the truth directly, but he didn't like to make noodles and didn't collect Water Margin cards. But the father, who was walking outside, turned around and admonished.
"Do things from beginning to end, since you collect that card, you must collect the full set, remember?"
"Remembered." Shen Yu continued to nod yes.
The collection card should be a complete set, and the acting should also be a full set - this should be what her father wants to tell her.
Uncle Geng took her out of the factory and bought dozens of packs of small raccoons on the side of the small goods. Shen Yu pretended to be happy and carried the plastic bag, and when she returned to the factory, she pretended to be happy to open the bag one by one, and picked up the Water Margin character cards inside, and whenever she found a new character, she let out a burst of surprise cheers.
When the canteen opened that night, Uncle Geng's staple food was tomato marinated instant noodles......
The two young men looked at Shen Yu sitting on the side, rubbing the cards one by one.
"Silly girl." The timid young man said.
"Uncle, uncle, can we continue to play the game?" Shen Yu ran over, "Look, a lot of cards have been repeated!" Chai Rong has five, Dai Zong has three, and Deng Fei, Zhu Wu, and Lu Fang are all two......"
"Go, go, go! Find your dad! The two men held the bowl of noodles, frowned, and ducked.
The father glanced at Shen Yu and pretended to sigh helplessly. But at this moment, the eyes of the two inadvertently met, and a fleeting smile flashed on the faces of both father and daughter.
Shen Yu felt very happy, because this was the first time in her life that she felt close to her father.
But she didn't expect that this would also be the last time the father and daughter felt each other's tacit understanding.
