"The children are ordinary people. They are all old. Getting married is normal." Shui Shangqing answered directly.
Mr. Huo nodded and agreed. Suddenly changed the topic and asked about Shen Dongsheng: "Is Xiao Shen still in your village now?"
"Yes, Mr. Shen is still here."
"Then after dinner, I'll write him a letter to see if he needs my help. You can bring it to him for me."
"You can just send the letter to him directly through the post office. Why do you need to lend me my hand? It would be bad if it is lost." Shui Shangqing resisted.
"That's not a special situation. I'm afraid it will affect Yu'an, so be careful."
Shui Shangqing felt that it was really troublesome. If Mr. Huo really wanted to help, there would be no need for him to carry the letter. It’s really too complicated to still have some agenda and yet be afraid of affecting yourself.
Shui Bingyue has always hated this old man, but she didn't expect to meet him again today. She was really unlucky.
However, Huo Tingchen kept talking in her ear. She felt annoyed and glared at him lightly.
"Can you have a good meal? You really talk too much and I don't want to hear it."
Huo Tingchen felt aggrieved, but he still shut his mouth obediently. After all, he really missed Bingyue, and he kept looking at the little girl secretly without letting him say it.
Soon this unpleasant lunch was over. Shui Shangqing also got the letter written to Shen Dongsheng.
Watching Mr. Huo and Huo Tingchen leave in a car, he sighed helplessly: "These four-nine cities are not big or small, so why did they happen to encounter them today? Could it be God's will? Really? It’s frustrating.”
Li Xinxin was very confused and it was difficult to ask. After all, she knew that in this city, those who could drive a car with that number were in high positions.
The group of people had no interest in shopping and took the car directly back to the military area. Shui Shangqing told the second son and his wife: "You don't have to come here tonight, we will leave by train tomorrow morning. You can just come and take us out of the military area then."
"Okay, just listen to dad, let's go back." Shui Jiandang looked at his father, mother and brother, and his sister entered the room and replied.
When the young couple returned to their home, Li Xinxin asked about the person they met: "Who is Mr. Huo? What is his relationship with dad?"
"My father used to be a soldier, under Mr. Huo. Later, he was wronged for some things, took the blame for others, and left the army.
More than two years ago, Mr. Huo and his grandson were sent to our village. My father took great care of these decentralized personnel.
The Mr. Shen he mentioned was sent down from the same batch as him. Mr. Shen was once a very rich man.
In fact, it doesn't matter, it's just like that. But I feel like there is no benefit in getting to know such a person. "
Li Xinxin nodded: "It's indeed a bit complicated. I won't tell others, don't worry."
"Of course I'm relieved, your heart is with me."
Hearing her husband say such loving words, Li Xinxin blushed: "You have convinced me."
"Then you've got me." Shui Jiandang hugged his wife and sat on the sofa, touching her forehead. As he spoke, he kissed her, and the kiss lasted for a long time before he stopped.
Li Xinxin snuggled into her husband's arms and asked him gently: "What do you want for dinner today? I'll cook it for you."
"I'll do it for you. You should have a good rest. You're quite tired after sitting on the bus for so long."
In the guest house of the military region, Shui Shangqing was worried about the letter. He was afraid that Mr. Shen would misunderstand that he and Mr. Huo were in the same group, and that he was just an ordinary old farmer.
Shui Bingyue looked at her father like this and comforted her: "If dad is unhappy and doesn't want to take care of it, just give me the letter and I will help give it to Mr. Shen. After all, I was here today and I know what's going on."
Liu Xuemei touched her daughter's head: "You are always so worried, and you are not afraid of turning into a little old woman."
"I'm not afraid, I just think it's best. Mr. Shen believes in my words the most. Children are not as complicated as adults."
Shui Shangqing shook his head, held his daughter on his lap, put her little head against his chest, and patted her back gently.
"Daddy is an adult and cannot rely on my precious daughter for everything. You just need to grow up obediently. This matter is not that complicated, but Mr. Huo's attitude towards others is disgusting."
Shui Bingyue nodded vigorously: "Dad, you can see clearly. From the first moment I saw him, I didn't like him. His class concept and condescending attitude are very unpleasant."
Huo Lao and Huo Yu'an are both the same people. They need others, but they have to achieve their goals whether you like it or not. This is a habit of looking at things from the position of a superior.
Xiao Qi still doesn't quite understand why his father and sister are angry. After all, he can't think about deep-level issues.
But he only has one principle: if his sister doesn't like it, he doesn't like it either. From now on, even if Huo Tingchen writes to him, he won't reply.
Huo Tingchen waited until Huo Yu'an got home from get off work, stopped him directly and asked, "Dad, why did you intercept other people's replies to me? It made me mistakenly think that they didn't want to be friends with me."
"Tingchen, dad is doing it for your own good. You should be good friends with your classmates at school, instead of worrying about those two little guys in the country. They can't bring you any benefits."
Huo Tingchen turned around and went back to his room, took out a knife and a slingshot from his treasure box and put them in front of Huo Yu'an.
"Do you know what these two things mean to me? They are happiness and self-esteem. Before I met Bingyue and Xiaoqi, I had always been bullied.
Obviously they are all children, some are angels and some are demons. Among my classmates, there are many who bullied me. You want me to be friends with them.
Many of them laughed at me for not having a father or a mother. The days in Qingshui Village are my happiest days. And you just want to deprive me of my happiness.
My misfortune is caused by you, but you look down upon my friends who treat me sincerely. It's so hypocritical. "
This was the first time Huo Yu'an knew that his son was so dissatisfied with him. But for him, that's life.
The world of children is black and white, but the world of adults is not so clear-cut. There are no permanent enemies or permanent friends, only eternal interests.
People who are too sincere will not last long. After all, everyone is black. Why should you stand alone and shine on the world?
But looking at his son's accusing eyes, Huo Yu'an felt that he shouldn't interfere too much, so he promised: "I allow you to contact those two little guys. But you have to study hard and be the best version of yourself."
Regardless of whether the method is appropriate or not, parents always hope that their children can live a better life.
