Chapter 23

When grandma's illness does not affect dad's heart, you can do it again... The voice just now closed and a slap fell down.

The world is quiet, the mother and daughter are confused, and the lingering sound is echoing.

Why did you start to fight?

Yu Shenli looked at the red fingerprints on her granddaughter's face and felt very distressed. Who has touched a piece of her hair since she was a child?

Reprimand Lu Xin, why are you trying to beat Tongtong?It's not serious to start.

Chen Tong bit her lips and said nothing, and her numb and wooden cheeks began to sting.

Unable to control his emotions, Lu Xin regretted it when he slapped her. She felt distressed when she beat her like that. When Yu Shenli asked her, she exclaimed again and asked me to divorce her dad, and she had to choose someone to be happy.

Yu Shenli was silent and said with reproach. Tongtong, you said this, no child was looking forward to his parents' divorce.

After saying that, he comforted Lu Xin, she was a child, and she was not in a way, so what did she know?Just talk about it carefully.

After saying that, I took Chen Tong away and sent him back to the room, and I couldn't help but blame you. You really speak nonsense. Think about it, do you think what you said makes sense?

Chen Tong didn't say anything, obviously he was also stubborn.

They are all forty years old. Can they find a more satisfactory person after divorce?Especially your mother, no matter how arrogant and capable she is, after all, she is still a woman. What should she do when your grandfather and I grow old and leave?

Although your father is not in harmony with us, we all see his character. So even if he is unwilling to accept your grandfather’s career arrangements, he cannot reach the level of satisfaction we are satisfied with. We have never given up the intention of breaking him and your mother apart.

Tongtong, do you want to see him divorce and remarry, become a family with others, and become someone else's father?

What mother always wants is what she wants, Chen Tong can't imagine her desolation. The last two sentences really hit her sore spot. They sacrificed their father's feelings to protect their mother's retreat, regardless of whether they were wronged or happy or not.

She lowered her head and sobbed her nose and wings twitched. She was also afraid that Chen Shi would figure it out one day and would resolutely break free from this family. He would definitely find a wife who is like-minded and emotionally in harmony with him and live an ordinary but warm life.

Fortunately, the New Year’s Eve dinner was eaten together by the two families, which flirted with the low pressure between the mother and daughter.

Because Chen Tong asked Tan Shang carefully about his homework during the summer vacation last night, and he also clearly marked the price, just asking for money.

It was just a little secular material desire. Tan Shang thought Chen Tong was much more cute and friendly, and dared to talk to her at the dinner table.Chen Tong wanted him to introduce more business, and he would no longer be in the cold.

The two juniors had a very friendly relationship, which made the atmosphere of the New Year’s Eve dinner even more festive.

After dinner, they drove to Nanshan Temple, and the warm atmosphere of incense filled the bustling crowd from afar.

The Buddhist chant and Buddhist chants are endless like wisps, and there is a world of both true and illusion everywhere. When you are in it, you have to believe that there are really Buddhist causes and conditions in the world that make sentient beings bow their heads.

Chen Tong took two sutras at the place where various Buddhist scriptures were sold, each of which cost ten yuan. She gave her six hundred yuan and signed Chen Shi's name piously on the merits of rejoicing.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, the two families came back from Hainan. The house was quiet and Chen Shi didn't get home. In previous years, they went to work on the eighth day of the lunar month.

Chen Tong stayed in the living room all day, helping Tan Shang do his homework. At around 3:00 p.m., the door lock was pressed down and pushed open from outside. She jumped off the sofa with a thrill, staring at Chen Shi, who was carrying a bag. Her gentle temperament could not hold back and was tired and haggard, like a traveler who had been through the weather for a long time.

He hurriedly ran away, brought him slippers, picked up his bags attentively, and asked in a low voice, have you had lunch?How about grandma?Let my aunt do it for you...

Halfway through, she seemed to have no idea what Chen Shi liked to eat.

Yu Shenli, who came out, answered the conversation, are you back?Have you had lunch?Auntie, you can stir-fry some cured winter bamboo shoots and vegetable dishes.

No.Chen Shi cut off his voice softly, his voice a little hoarse. I wasn't hungry, so I went to take a shower and then went to bed for a while.

At seven o'clock, Chen Shi went downstairs in a neat manner, and the other four were all in the living room.

Okay, people are here, have a meal.Yu Shenli got up from the sofa first, and Chen Tong followed him to pull the chair.

I want to go to the unit value...

Your daughter stopped us for more than an hour and insisted on waiting for you. Don’t you eat?

Hearing his mother's voice, Chen Tong's scalp numb, and his eyes turned to her father's place, and he seemed to be scalded.

Fortunately, he finally came to the dining table. Chen Tong took advantage of everyone's attention and quickly picked up a chopstick of bacon and winter bamboo shoots into her father's bowl.

Chen Shi went on duty and hadn't been home for two days. He would rather crowd on the office sofa than avoid her.

Dad, are you hiding from me?I'll go to school tomorrow.

Downstairs of the local diversion yard, Chen Tong sent her father a WeChat message and went upstairs directly. As soon as he arrived at the third floor, he received a voice call, Tong Tong, Dad did not hide from you, Dad these days...

Chen Tong burst into laughter and said in a low voice, I know you are busy, I'll see you, I'll be here soon.

There are three computer screens on the desk. Chen Shi is at the back and is focused and steady, without any depressedness. You can imagine the life energy that work brings to him.

I thought Chen Tong came from home, but the person who looked up smiled at the office door. He even brought the door to the house and locked it.

He was stunned and sighed, as Chen Tong came for the first time, he got up and treated her politely, poured water for her, and sat on the single sofa, Tong Tong, Dad has something to say to you.

Well, Dad, you said.

Chen Shi paused, did you ask me to call the uncle?

Before Chen Tong answered, he said slowly, Dad wants to thank you, that phone call is very important to Dad. It reassures Dad's mother that dad works decently here, has a harmonious family, has not been ignored, and has a good life.

And when you went to Guanyu by yourself last year, it made my grandmother very happy because she met her granddaughter, and even because she felt that no matter what, her son had a daughter, so she kissed him and really treated him as her father.

Chen Tong held the paper cup and lowered her head, her eyes were sore, and I would do it to your wishes.

Chen Shi's voice suddenly changed, Tongtong, do you know this is the normal relationship between his daughter and his father?It is the nature between relatives to love and warm each other, not love.

Those peers in school who have good character, diligence and studious, and work hard to make progress and like your ambitions are the people you should place in love and create the future.

Not dad, maybe not even another man who is much older than you.His experience, knowledge, or demeanor, and his most lifelong experience attracted you, making you forget to care about the age gap, not have time to consider the other person's physical functions, and do not care about the rumors in the outside world.Maybe there are people in the world who are worthy of Tongtong's efforts, but they are too few and rarely seen, do you know?

Chen Tong gradually smiled, raised her face, her eyes were as beautiful as if she could speak, and she could teach me with the most correct words for me. She was the father I like.If you can easily be tempted and accept me casually, you may not be so fascinating.

You... Chen Shi stared at her eyes, choked by her and couldn't catch her anger.

Chen Tong smiled happily. I came here just to see you and listen to your words. It would be even better if I could have supper together.

Chen Shi sat on the sofa, as if she was being forced into a corner, blushing to her neck, and she had no choice but to do anything to her.

Chen Tong leaned over and held her father's face, leaned closer, and turned his red eyes around his face, and wanted to tell you, if others could easily change my mind, and if preaching could shake me, wouldn't you belittle me?What qualifications do I have to make you face me and cherish my feelings?
