"father....."
Outside the house, Meng Wenhao stood in the corner, leaning against the wall, clenching his fists tightly, and his nails had dug deeply into his flesh, but he didn't seem to feel any pain at all. He, who had always been strong in heart, felt a little wet in his eyes at this moment. red.
Obviously, he heard the conversation inside just now.
Now, no one can stop Meng's father from going south to sea this time. Meng Wenhao has tried, and Meng's mother has also tried, but in the end they all came back without success and were powerless.
Meng Wenhao felt extremely heavy for a moment. He sighed, shook his head, and went to the front hall dejectedly.
inside the hall.
The thin Yaya also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at home. Children's minds are always very sensitive.
"Brother, is daddy leaving soon?"
Yaya raised her little face and asked in a crisp voice.
"Well, yes! Daddy will leave the day after tomorrow. Yaya must be good then and don't distract Daddy!"
Meng Wenhao felt a pain in his heart, he rubbed his little sister's braid and said softly.
"Well, Yaya must be obedient, but brother, where is daddy going? When will he be back?"
"If you go to the south, you should be back in two or three months!"
Meng Wenhao replied with some uncertainty.
"But Yaya heard Fat Hu say that daddy might not come back this time. He said that Yaya would be a child without a father in the future. Yaya didn't want daddy to leave, but daddy didn't listen to Yaya. Brother, Yaya so sad!"
"Nonsense!"
Meng Wenhao was furious. He clenched his fists and said bitterly: "Yaya, don't listen to that little bastard Fat Tiger's nonsense. My brother will definitely beat him up next time he meets him! Daddy will be fine for sure, and he will be healed soon." Come back! Brother, I promise you!"
"Yeah, Yaya believes in brother, but brother, don't fight, fighting is not good~!"

"Master, this is the rice wine I bought in Dongshi today. Do you want to try it?"
night.
Candlelights were lit in every house in the square. In the Meng family, a family of four gathered around a dilapidated table to have dinner. The atmosphere was very warm.
Meng's father glared at his mother-in-law, wanting to say that she was spending money, but in the end he did not say anything. Smelling the aroma of rice wine, Meng's father's long-suppressed alcohol addiction was aroused. He picked up the wine bowl and took a sip gently. , and did not swallow it immediately, letting the taste buds in his mouth absorb the stimulation of the rice wine.
"Ha~! Good wine!"
After a while, Father Meng swallowed the mouthful of rice wine and sighed.
"Dad, what kind of good wine is this? The Shenxian Zui from Zuixian Tower is the real good wine!"
Meng Wenhao forced a smile in order to liven up the atmosphere.
"Haha~! You stinky boy! That god's drunkenness of five ounces and one liter can be drunk by us rough guys?"
Although Meng's father had never drunk the Immortal Drunk, he obviously had some knowledge. He pointed at his son and laughed and cursed angrily.
"Hey! Who said daddy can't drink? My husband said before that everyone is born equal. The reason why they are treated differently is due to lack of hard work the day after tomorrow! One day, my baby, you can drink every day. When the gods are drunk, you can drink as much as you want!"
Meng Wenhao said firmly.
"Haha! My son is ambitious! The most proud thing in my life is that I gave birth to a son like you! What if Mr. Hu in the factory and his family have money? His son is not as capable as my Hao'er!"
When Meng's father heard this, he did not criticize his son for bragging. He suddenly felt proud and laughed loudly.
"Hao'er, how did you do in the monthly exam this time? I heard from Hu Yuan's wife's son that your school of arithmetic has a higher and higher status in the Imperial College. Many students from other schools are paying attention to this monthly exam. It’s here!”
Mother Meng's face showed a hint of joy and she asked with a smile.
Meng Wenhao went from a school in the local state capital all the way to the Imperial College of Mathematics. It was already very difficult. Meng's mother was very satisfied before, but people are greedy. After Meng Wenhao was admitted to the College of Mathematics, Meng Wenhao was What the mother wanted was that her son could continue to enter a higher-level four-level academy. It's just that she never expected that the current status of the School of Mathematical Sciences would suddenly rise, and it seemed to have a tendency to surpass other schools.
When Meng Wenhao heard his mother's question, he couldn't help but think of the situation during the exam in the morning. He pondered for a moment and replied: "Mom, I think I did okay in the exam. As for whether I can get the first place, it only depends on luck." !”
He looked at the wine bowl held by Father Meng, and then said: "If you can get the first place in the exam, according to the system of our math school, then my son can take you to Zuixian Tower for a free meal! However, By the time the results are announced, my father may have already gone to sea..."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little heavy again.
"Haha, you are such a boring bitch. You have a good meal and you are asking about your test scores. When did our Haoer's grades ever make us worry?"
Meng's father patted the table and glared at Meng's mother. He looked at Meng Wenhao again and said earnestly: "Although my father will not be at home then, you can take your mother and Yaya with you! Over the years, Our family eats glutinous rice, so it’s good to take advantage of this improvement to improve the food! Isn’t Yaya the most greedy chicken? Let her eat as much as she can this time! Haoer, a manly man, how can you act like a little daughter? ! Although dad has never read any books, he knows that joys and sorrows are just common things in the world. A man should have a universal heart. How can he care about these parents' filial piety every day? "
"...Yes, dad, the kid knows!"
Meng Wenhao originally wanted to refute, but after hesitating for a moment, he answered in a muffled voice.
"Haha, Dad knows that you are all worried, but there is no need to do so. This time we went to sea, Boss Feng equipped each of our boats with a compass. Even if we encounter strong winds and waves and leave the team, we can still find the direction with the help of the compass. "
Father Meng said as he took out exquisite compasses from his arms, which were produced by Qiquge Workshop. Meng Wenhao was very familiar with these things. When the first generation compass came out, he was still there!
Mother Meng saw this shiny thing and took it over curiously.
"Hey, be careful, be careful, this little thing is worth five guan!"
Father Meng quickly ordered.
Mother Meng's wrist shook in fright, and she almost dropped the compass on the ground. Fortunately, Meng Wenhao's hand quickly caught it. Mother Meng said with lingering fear: "It's okay, it's okay! It's just such a thing, why is it so expensive?"
"Bring it here, this thing is a navigation weapon specially built by Qiquge for the fleet going south. It is said that it was invented by Haoer's husband Li Xiannan himself! This thing is light and can indicate the direction accurately. Can it not Is it expensive? I heard that owners of other fleets only provide one compass for every five ships. It is rare to see someone as kind as Boss Feng!"
Father Meng asked for the compass, carefully put it in his arms, and said angrily.
"Oh, then Boss Feng is such a good person!"
Mother Meng said happily.
"Daddy, Yaya doesn't want to eat the chicken, she just wants daddy not to leave..."
Yaya, who was nibbling on some steamed buns next to her, said weakly at this moment.
Father Meng: "......"
