Chapter 250 (2/2)
He was very gentle and patient when he did all this. I look at a big two small three men walking in front of me, especially want Yuanyuan and Tongtong to be his children. I regret that the first man I met was not he Liancheng. If it was him, everything would be different, right?
Yuan Yuan and Tong Tong are holding brand-new Daofu, and they are very excited to hear that they are going to pick up their younger brother. They talk about things all the way. Finally, they say that Chu Yi took them to the playground yesterday.
He Liancheng keenly caught the happy expression on their faces, looked at me and said, ”in fact, it's good to let them take a step.”
I'm noncommittal. Is that good? It seems to me that Chu Yi has once again stepped into my life and is still doing something to abduct the child from me. I don't like children's high spirits when they talk about Chu Yi. I don't like them at all.
At he Liancheng's house, Xiao Kuankuan is playing with building blocks in the children's room upstairs. He Zelin takes a newspaper, sits on the sofa and watches him play.
He saw aunt Cao take us in, put down the newspaper, took off his eyes, and asked casually, ”come here to pick up the child?”
”Well, I'll have a meal at home by the way.” He Liancheng went over, half knelt down on the floor in front of Kuankuan, and said to Kuan Kuan, ”little thing, I don't look up when I see my father coming. I play so attentively.”
He Zelin said with a smile, ”aunt Cao is ready to know you are coming for dinner.”
Yuanyuan and Tongtong cleverly called grandfather, and then ran to play with Kuankuan. All the men in the room had something to do, but I stood not far away to watch, just like an insignificant outsider.
Little Kuankuan's attention was attracted by the colorful building blocks in front of him. He raised his head and called his mother, then lowered his head to play.
”Leyi, sit down.” He Zelin pointed to the sofa against the wall and motioned me to sit down.
”Uncle he, were you familiar with my father when he was young?” I went up to him, sat down and asked.
”Well, at least before your father got married, we were good brothers.” He said frankly.
”There's something about my father. I want to ask you, OK?” I asked with a smile.
”Yes.” He Zelin said with a broad smile, ”I don't think Lao Lin will think that his daughter will be my daughter-in-law after a big circle.”
”Then let's find a place to talk? All the children here are... ”I put forward a suggestion with a smile.
He Zelin looked at his watch and said, ”go to the study. It's still a while before dinner. I just have something left by your father for you.”
”Dad, what is it?” He Liancheng heard our conversation with keen ears.
”When you go back, ask Leyi if she wants to tell you.” He Zelin stood up and said with a smile. He Liancheng looked up at me and said, ”Dad, don't worry, there's nothing to hide between us.” Then he asked me, ”right?”
”Uncle he.” I ignored him and opened the door to help he Zelin out.
He Zelin's study is very large, occupying a small half of the third floor. Against the wall are tall bookshelves full of books. I glanced at them and saw many French books on them.
He sat down on the sofa by the window and said to me, ”sit down and talk. I don't think you want to ask me about your dad.”
”Well, you can see that?” I sat down opposite him and asked.
In this window area, there are two comfortable single sofas, a simple small round table of mahogany without decoration, and a basin of small happiness tree on the table. It is luxuriant and green.
”I always said you were a smart kid.” He Zelin asked with a smile, ”would you like something to drink?”
”No, I'll just ask a few simple questions.” I pondered the words and said slowly, ”uncle he, my parents have passed away, and I don't have any elders around me. My uncle and aunt are abroad, and they don't even have any contact. The reason why they didn't contact me may have something to do with my mother's marriage with you. So now you are the only one who can give me some advice as an elder. ””What do you want to ask?” He Zelin opened the silver cigarette box, popped up a cigarette and asked, ”can I smoke?”
”Whatever you like, I used to smoke.” I said with a straight smile.
He lit a cigarette and took a puff. Through the smoke, he said to me, ”your parents were very strict about that. I can understand that. So I don't blame you. You don't know the grudge of the previous generation. When I think about my attitude towards you at the beginning, I feel that I can't afford the title ”uncle he.”
”I understand how you feel. If such things happen to me, my reaction will be more extreme.” I feel that only after everything has passed can we evaluate the whole incident objectively and calmly. Originally I thought he Zelin was very targeted to me. Now the more I get in touch with him, the more I feel that his way of handling is gentle
