Chapter 127: Red Crocus
[Sober: Father and son talk! ] 】
Although, for Duan Yiqiao, who is still a college student, Duan Guangping is also worried about whether he can afford everything, but it is his son, Thaksin, and has to support him.
"Daddy believes you can."
"Thank you, Dad!" Duan Yiqiao said and glanced at the direction of the bookshelf, "Dad, the categories and quantities required for all kinds of textbooks, you count them these days, and when Brother Ah Sheng comes, you ask him to contact and order."
"Okay, he'll be at work at the tenth year of junior high school."
"Non-textbook books, wait for Brother Ah Sheng to come and ask him to take inventory, it doesn't matter if you order later, the textbooks will be ordered first."
"I see. You don't have to worry about the bookstore, Ah Sheng will be back in two days, with him, Dad is fine."
Duan Yiqiao lowered his head and smiled, that's right, that's his father, as long as his mental state is fine, he can handle many things very well.
"It's always made Yiqiao so worried, Dad is really ....." Duan Guangping suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Duan Yiqiao still smiled and said, "Dad, don't say that, don't you always care about me and Citrus Fang, as well as my mother and grandparents?"
Duan Guangping looked at the side of Duan Yiqiao, his eyes seemed to be a little hollow, and he slowly opened his mouth, "Speaking of your grandfather, my son is very guilty. He could have enjoyed good fortune, but because of me, he went back to work. It's my son who is unfilial."
"Dad, don't say that, you don't want those things to happen more than anyone else."
"Yiqiao, Dad is sober now, whether it's repentance or confiding, let Dad talk to you well."
Duan Yiqiao didn't say anything more, and quietly listened to Duan Guangping continue: "Your grandmother, although she likes her translation work, she is seriously old, and her eyes are uncomfortable when she reads the text for a while. I don't take much work as a translator for a long time, but for me, she reads the text for more than ten hours a day. I'm really ashamed of her old man."
Duan Guangping's tears in his eyes still flowed, desolate and barren, and Duan Yiqiao's heart trembled when he saw it. He had forgotten the last time he saw his father cry, maybe when he was sick, but it was by no means in such a sober state, and he shed the bitterest tears in his heart.
Duan Yiqiao was about to get up to draw a tissue, but was stopped by Duan Guangping, "No." Then, with a lift of his hand, he wiped away the tears.
He took a sip and continued, "And your mother, if it weren't for her, I might be in a mental hospital right now. Before marrying me, she was delicate and expensive, and now she is busy from morning to night, doing all the rough work, not to mention the glamour of the past, just to let her worry less about snacks, don't be so busy, she refuses. Only when she did it herself was she down-to-earth. It's that I can't stand her and can't give her happiness. Your mother really suffered for me."
"Dad, don't think so. Mom just looks at you and she's healthy, and she's happy."
This is really what Shen Ruyun often said when she was depressed after Duan Guangping fell ill.
What to revive the family business and restore the past scenery is not what Shen Ruyun is looking forward to at all, she hopes that Duan Guangping will be safe and sound.
I saw Duan Guangping continue: "Then you and Huang Tong, when I was in high school, you suffered a lot of gossip because of me. In order to help reduce the burden on the family, you squeeze in time to work part-time after school, and Dad knows that you are really hard."
"Dad, it's not hard, besides, I was energetic at that time, so I have to make good use of it."
Duan Yiqiao said this to make Duan Guangping smile, but he couldn't laugh at all.
Duan Guangping looked at his son in front of him with a bitter expression, as tall and handsome as he was at that time. However, there is a rare vicissitudes of life between the eyebrows and eyes.
Duan Yiqiao can be said to be obviously much more mature than his peers, this maturity, Duan Guangping is mixed, his son can be said to have to become mature and sensible in a short period of time because of himself, rather than the gradual growth of his peers.
Everyone around them is envious, but only Duan Guangping and Shen Ruyun, who are parents, know the burden in their son's heart.
Duan Guangping continued, "Dad, the most impressive thing is that there was a time when an illness came to the gate of your school, and I happened to meet you after school. Having a guy should be unintentional
, said to you and the orange, 'Did your dad go crazy and get lost, and they all came to school.' You kicked the boy and choked him back, 'You're crazy.' The boy couldn't stand the strength of your feet and fell. Then, you and you rushed to me and took me home."
"Daddy, remember?" Duan Yiqiao's voice was a little choked.
"Actually....." Duan Guangping's voice was also a little hoarse, "Dad was really insane at that time and ran to your school, but the moment I saw you and Tang Tong, I was sober and knew that I must be running around." But Dad didn't have the courage to admit it in front of your classmates, and continued to pretend to be stupid and let you take me home. Dad knows you've been wronged, I'm sorry."
Duan Yiqiao put his hands on Duan Guangping's rough hands and shook his head slightly, "Dad, don't say that, you didn't feel sorry for us. Citrus and I are not aggrieved, we are both fine. Look at the citrus orange, I have practiced dance better in recent years. At the last party, there was a dance troupe that took a fancy to her."
"I heard her say that her father was happy for her, but she wouldn't go, she said that she would stay in Licheng to accompany me and your mother."
"Yes, she always says so, and she plans to apply for the Licheng National Song and Dance Troupe in the future."
Duan Guangping's mind flashed in Duan Chuntong's mind, fleshy, always crying when he first hugged him and Shen Ruyun, until a few days later, he slowly became familiar with their faces and tastes, and he loved to laugh.
"Citrus citrus has a hard life, she was sold by her parents in the name of not being able to support her just after she was born, and when she arrived at our house, now my father is like this again, she must be reluctant to leave Licheng because of our family."
"Dad, I'll find a chance to have a good chat with Citrus and let her pursue what she wants."
"Okay, it's easier for you brothers and sisters to talk to each other."
Duan Yiqiao sat and talked with his father in the store until five o'clock, and then went to the Starry Night Bar, where he stayed for a while before setting off on a motorcycle to Abu's barbecue restaurant.
It was a barbecue restaurant in the shopping mall on Beishan Street, not far from the Starry Night Bar, Duan Yiqiao calculated the time, and it was almost six o'clock.
The business of the barbecue restaurant is good, and now it is the Spring Festival period, and it is difficult to have a private room if you don't book it in advance. Xiao Shangzun, who is a frequent customer in the store, booked a box in advance, and when he arrived earlier than Duan Yiqiao, he had already ordered a few kinds of meat, roasted it first, and poured a bottle of red wine in the decanter.
The seat he was sitting in was just facing the door, and when Duan Yiqiao appeared, he raised his hand, "From the coffee shop?"
"No, I went to the bar and had a look." Duan Yiqiao easily put his backpack and helmet on the empty seat.
Xiao Shangzun took the red wine glass that he had prepared earlier, poured all the wine, and handed a glass to Duan Yiqiao.
"Here, it, moisten your throat first!"
"Bang~" The sound of red wine glasses colliding was quite loud in the box between the two.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shangzun pressed the service bell. A polite waiter approached them, "Hello! What can I do for you?"
Xiao Shangzun asked Duan Yiqiao, "I didn't order the staple food, fried rice, fried noodles, fried noodles, I can do it, you can order it."
Duan Yiqiao thought for a moment and looked at the waiter, "Fried noodles have a serving."
"Okay, please wait!"
After the waiter withdrew, Xiao Shangzun sandwiched a few pieces of roasted meat into Duan Yiqiao's bowl. The relationship between the two is very good, and they will not be so polite, Duan Yiqiao naturally picked it up and ate it first.
"It's just right, it's fresh." Duan Yiqiao said as he picked up the tongs to clip the raw meat into the oven.
"It's just right, it's not in vain that I've come here to eat so many times, how can practice make perfect."
Xiao Shangzun was very proud of this praise, after all, he belonged to the kind of person who was served, cooking or making food by hand, which was impossible for him. It's only food like this that needs to be done outside, and he will use it a little bit.
"Why did you remember to ask me out to dinner today?" Duan Yiqiao raised his eyes and asked him, it was indeed a rather sudden appointment.
"None of us ate together last semester, did we?"
Duan Yiqiao thought about it and nodded. I think it's weird, it shouldn't be, they invite each other to dinner every once in a while.
Xiao Shangzun took a piece of beef and dipped it in the sauce, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it very refreshingly, and served it with red wine.
Then he asked, "Did you say you were too busy last semester, or did I neglect it, or... For the sake of it?"
Speaking of Ai Shangni, Duan Yiqiao thought about whether he invited himself to dinner because of her?
But even if it was, she wasn't a taboo between them. From the moment Ai Shangni appeared to the time they liked her, the two were honest with each other, and it was not a secret, and it did not affect the friendship between them.
"Maybe I forgot about it."
At this time, the waiter brought the fried noodles. Duan Yiqiao took two plates, sandwiched some fried noodles into the plates, and handed a plate to Xiao Shangzun.
The two of them were eating fried noodles and grilling various foods, and suddenly, Xiao Shangzun said, "Chinese New Year, oh, no, just... The day before yesterday, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, my parents and I went to Haike Island to propose marriage to the Tong family."
Duan Yiqiao's chopsticks holding the noodles in the plate suddenly froze.
Xiao Shangzun saw that he was still slightly lowering his head, as if he was looking at the oven, and as if he was staring at the noodles, maybe he didn't see anything, he was already distracted.
Sure enough, it scared him away.
Xiao Shangzun sighed secretly in his heart, Ai Shangyi's affairs can still affect his heart, as long as he encounters her affairs, he is not so unfazed.
Duan Yiqiao, Duan Yiqiao, it's time for you to worry about her.
"Hey~ I thought you would be indifferent." Xiao Shangzun smiled lightly.
Duan Yiqiao collected his attention, raised his eyes, and asked rhetorically, "What is the result?"
"Ihashi guess."
"It didn't work out."
Xiao Shangzun leaned back in the chair, looked to the side and smiled helplessly, and asked, "Are you so unconfident in me?"
"No, I'm just confident in you."
"No matter what, the object of the marriage is my Xiao family, if the two families marry, it is a strong alliance, who will refuse."
