The two old fathers met face to face, as if two armies were facing each other, looking at each other from a distance, and looked at each other calmly.
Mr. Chu Shan saw this old man, in a suit and leather shoes, with a dignified appearance, and his appearance was six or seven points similar to Lin Yanchen, but he gave people a completely different feeling, with a striking temperament, mature and elegant, and a powerful character. He found out Lin Yanchen's father on the Internet before. Lin's father is quite low-key, not to mention photos, and even news is rare, so this is the first time he has seen him. Is this the legendary billionaire? The instrumentation is truly extraordinary.
Mr. Lin Shaoyuan looked at his father-in-law and remembered the information he remembered. Chu Xun's father should have been over fifty years old, but when he saw this man, he had black hair, full forehead, ruddy complexion, bright eyes, tall and straight posture, and no twilight at all. The old-fashioned state is probably because he has the spirit of poetry and literature, and he looks very tolerant. The father-in-law was wearing an apron and sleeves, and was making rice dumplings. Next to him was Lin Yanchen, who was also making rice dumplings. When he entered the door, he saw at a glance that he was teaching Lin Yanchen how to make rice dumplings. Lin Shaoyuan felt that they were very close. A pair of father and son makes him envious. Lots of smoke. He is a biological father, and he hasn't been this close to his child for many years.
Lin Shaoyuan saw that they were all well-dressed and homely, but he was wearing formal clothes, which seemed too rigid, out of place, and could not fit into the warm atmosphere.
Mr. Lin took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Chu, I am Lin Shaoyuan. The dog is under your care."
Teacher Chu stood up, his hands were still dirty and he couldn't shake hands, but Lao Lin always saw his embarrassment and didn't extend his hand, only smiled kindly.
Teacher Chu said, "Hello, I'm Chu Shan, Chu Xun's father."
The first confrontation was quite harmonious. Lao Lin always nodded in his heart. He was worthy of being Chu Xun's father. This attitude of neither humble nor arrogant has surpassed many people.
When Lin Yanchen saw his father coming, he didn't dare to rebel, for fear that his father-in-law would think he was not filial, so he obediently said, "Dad."
Old Lin always turned his attention to his son, looked at the pile of rice dumplings wrapped on the table in front of him, and said, "The wrapping is pretty good."
Lin Yanchen said, "Well, my uncle taught me."
Chu Xun has changed his name to "Dad" to Lin Yanchen's father. Does Lin Yanchen still only call him "Uncle"? Teacher Chu was instantly grumpy, forgetting that he was the one who forbade Lin Yanchen to change his name to "Dad" before.
Chu Xun stepped forward and said: "I didn't expect you to come so early, the zongzi has not been cooked yet, but in about half an hour, the first pot of zongzi will be ready, please try it. You like sweet or salty. of?"
Obviously Chu Xun is very polite, but Lin Shaoyuan is a little lost, just too polite, not like a family. When he walked to the door just now, across the door, he heard a lively chatter and laughter inside, which made his heart a little warm... As soon as he entered the door, the atmosphere immediately cooled down and became serious.
Ugh.
Lin Shaoyuan said, "I like salty."
No topic found.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Mr. Chu didn't know how to talk to Lin Shaoyuan. Mr. Lin was a giant in the financial world, a rich man, and he was a poor teacher who spent his whole life circling around students and books. Could it be that he is talking about the international economic situation with people? Wasn't that slaving axe and making jokes? Their lives are so different, what can they say
The same is true for Lin Shaoyuan.
Chu Xun had just met Lin Yanchen's father once, and there is no way to say how close they are.
Not to mention the son Lin Yanchen, his relationship with his father has only broken the ice in the past two years, and now he wants to repair the relationship between father and son, and he doesn't know where to start.
It was indeed the arrival of Mr. Lin, which embarrassed everyone.
Mr. Lin was suddenly sad and hid it, but still looked calm. In order to resolve the awkward atmosphere, he took the initiative to ask, "Where is Chiu Chiu? I haven't seen him for several days. I miss him very much. Where is Chiu Chiu?"
Let's talk about the kids, okay? Tweet is everyone's little baby, a common topic.
Another female voice sounded next to her: "Chiu Chiu fell asleep."
Mr. Lin: "..." It's even more embarrassing.
Old Lin always looked over, she was a middle-aged woman with delicate eyebrows and fair skin. At first glance, she was Chu Xun's mother. Chu Xun looked more like her. She smiled and greeted: "Hello, my father-in-law, I am Chu Xun's mother. ."
Mr. Lin said, "Hello, hello, and hello to my mother. Chiu Chiu fell asleep? Let him sleep well, and don't disturb him."
But then, he couldn't think of what to say for a while.
In fact, on weekdays, when it comes to business entertainment, he should be regarded as a relatively talkative person. If you want someone to have a better impression of him, it is easy to set it up.
But today, he was timid in his heart, and he didn't want a dialogue between Xu and Wei Snake.
Chu Xun's mother poured him a cup of tea. He sat holding the tea and quietly looked at Lin Yanchen and Teacher Chu from the corner of his eyes. He was so envious.
Lin Yanchen found that his father had been looking here, thought about it, and asked, "Dad, you... Do you want to make zongzi too? Will you?"
Lin Shaoyuan said nothing, put down the tea, passed by, and said shyly, "Okay, I have nothing to do anyway. I have made zongzi before."
Lin Yanchen was surprised: "You have made dumplings, Dad."
Lin Shaoyuan said, "Your mother taught me."
Teacher Chu said: "You are a guest, how can I ask you to help?"
Lao Lin is always quite positive: "I am a family in the future, how can I be a guest."
In fact, that was many years ago. Lin Shaoyuan took a zongzi leaf and reluctantly recalled what to do. His mind was very vague and he couldn't remember it at all. Do the scalp. He pretended to be slowly wrapping it as if nothing had happened, peeked at Teacher Chu's quick and beautiful technique, learned it in a proper manner, and carefully wrapped one, only wrapping a zongzi, and his forehead was sweating.
After wrapping up, Lin Yanchen glanced at it with a probe and smirked.
If Teacher Chu wasn't there, he would just laugh at his father for being rotten.
Mr. Chu knew what he knew. He thought about people like Lin Yanchen's father. It was estimated that there were professional chefs who would cook for him. He would be surprised if he did a good job in the kitchen. However, he was willing to keep his posture so low, which surprised Teacher Chu.
Mr. Lin's old face turned red, and he humbly told the truth: "The last time I made zongzi was twenty or thirty years ago. I almost forgot about it, and I didn't wrap it very well."
Lin Yanchen was curious: "Twenty or thirty years ago? Wasn't it when my mother was still alive? Is it the time you said your mother taught you?"
Old Lin always nodded in shame, he couldn't cook, and he has only entered the kitchen several times in his life.
Lin Yanchen almost didn't laugh out loud.
Old Lin is always laughed at by his son, so he is not angry, but very relieved. He has not had such a seamless chat with Yanyan for many years. It is rare for Yanyan to laugh because he is sincere. How good, this is like a father and son.
Old Lin always remembered and said, "Your mother's zongzi is so beautiful and delicious. Do you still remember the egg yolk and fresh meat zongzi made by your mother? I like this the most. During the Dragon Boat Festival, you were very fond of eating it when you were a child. I ate two in one go, I was afraid that you would not be able to digest your appetite if you ate too much, so maybe you would eat more. But you couldn’t get enough to eat, so I wrapped a lot of sago zongzi, which were transparent after steaming. Lovely, pick one at random, eat different fillings, it's fun and delicious, you eat a small bunch."
When Teacher Chu heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt: "Can you still make zongzi with sago?" He only knows the old-fashioned way.
Mr. Lin said, "Yes."
Although he is not very good at cooking, he usually eats a lot of good things. He is half a gourmet, and he has a lot of experience. It is okay to talk about theories.
The two chatted naturally.
Teacher Chu nodded straight after hearing this: "Children don't eat glutinous rice, it's not easy to digest, but you can make some other kinds for Chiu Chiu to eat. He's so greedy, if he sees what we all have to eat, he doesn't have to eat it, he's afraid of trouble. Be in a hurry to cry."
Mr. Lin said, "Yes, Chiu Chiu loves to eat. It's the first time I've seen such a well-behaved baby. He's not picky at all, so small, he will sit and eat by himself."
Teacher Chu said proudly: "I have been teaching for a long time. Chiu Chiu is inherently insufficiency, and his response is very slow. I have taught it little by little."
Mr. Lin complimented him: "As expected of being a teacher, he is really good. I can't teach children well... My son is still stupid when he is twenty-six years old. He must have caused you a lot of trouble, right? Your son was kidnapped."
Lin Yanchen raised his head sharply and looked sideways: I'm right next to you, is it really okay for you to speak ill of me like this
Teacher Chu waved his hand: "It's alright, nothing in my family, he's already come out of the closet. He was so stupid, he didn't even have a boyfriend at that time, so he dared to quarrel with me, ran away from home and refused to go home. I secretly asked someone to inquire about it. In the first two years, he was 30 years old. Before meeting your son, he didn't find a boyfriend at all. I don't know why he has to come out of the closet like this. "
Chu Xun: "..."
Dad, you speak so loudly, I can hear you.
The two old fathers finally found a common topic and spoke ill of unfilial sons together.
Getting closer.
The two of them had their teeth together, Mr. Lin was forty-seven this year, and Mr. Chu was fifty-six this year, a difference of nine years.
Mr. Lin said: "You are nine years older than me, I should call you big brother."
Teacher Chu said, "Oh, but I don't dare to call you little brother."
Lao Lin always smiled: "Then you can call me 'Old Lin'."
Teacher Chu said, "You can call me 'Old Chu' or 'Teacher Chu', and my son also calls me 'Teacher Chu'."
Three people, there must be my teacher. Mr. Lin's eyes lit up, Mr. Chu's trick is good, no wonder their family has a harmonious atmosphere. Like Lin Yanchen, he calls him "Dad". But what can he be called
Mr. Lin said, "Okay, then I'll call you 'Mr. Chu'."
Teacher Chu thought that this person was actually pretty good, and said, "Don't you like salted egg yolk and fresh meat? I didn't buy a special salted egg yolk, but there are still two salted eggs. I'll pull out the egg yolks for you. We wrap two egg yolks and fresh meat. Come on, I'll teach you how to wrap…”
Lao Lin always sat beside him: "Okay, thank you Teacher Chu."
Seeing that the two fathers and Lin Yanchen were working, Chu Xun was embarrassed to sit and be an idler. He walked over and said, "Dad, I'm going to see if the dumplings are cooked..."
When he went to the kitchen, Chu Xun opened a zongzi, and when it was cooked, he said, "It's almost done. I'll cut two plates of pickled gourd, pickled radishes and pickled cowpeas, and eat them together to relieve the tiredness."
Chiu Chiu had also woken up, and was carried out by grandma, who said with a smile, "We Chiu Chiu woke up immediately when we heard that the food was ready."
Teacher Chu: "Wash your hands and let's have dinner."
