In the Years When I Was a Father

Chapter 172: Indifferent father in the last days (2)

Views:

Qi Lei no longer has any opinions on the layout of the Qi family's room. His current thinking is to treat this place as a relative, and he is used to sleeping on the soft couch in the study at night.

Qi Sheng glanced at the child who didn't have much opinion on this, and he knew that the child had completely separated from the original body, and it was obviously impossible to quickly draw the relationship between the two of them closer.

He is not in a hurry about this, some things can only be done slowly, the most important thing now is how to deal with the natural disaster crisis that will last for several years in the future.

At night when the couple was lying on the bed, Tian Yue remembered what Qi Sheng said at the dinner table just now, and asked: "Why do you suddenly remember going home to repair the house? Besides, it's so hot now, can we find workers?"

"Before my father said that the house was leaking and damp, and I didn't go back to help him after so long. I think it's like this now, so I think it should be repaired as soon as possible, so that they can live in peace of mind."

"Then do you have enough time for two days on weekends? It takes four or five hours to go back and forth."

"I'll go back and have a look first, and I'll tell the school about asking for leave after I'm sure."

Tian Yue frowned when he heard him say this: "You said you too, you didn't worry about repairing the house during the 20 days of summer vacation, why are you so focused now?" Speaking of this, Tian Yue suddenly thought of something, Turning to look at Qi Sheng again, he asked: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to buy a piano for Hanghang and learn to play the piano? If this is to repair a house, do we have enough money?"

"Isn't that a cram school? Doesn't Hang Hang really want to learn the piano? I think you can delay learning the piano for a while. Let's talk about it after he graduates from elementary school. Let's do it one by one."

Tian Yue was a little reluctant when he heard the words. Thinking of his son's heavy schoolwork and cram school courses, he thought that he could delay learning the piano for a few years, so he didn't directly object, and agreed with Qi Sheng's idea.

This family is a very ordinary working family. Both the husband and wife are teachers in a nearby middle school. Usually, the housing loan, car loan and living expenses of the children account for the majority of their family's expenses. The original body wanted to take advantage of the holidays to earn extra money, so it had been a long time since he returned to his hometown, and he also wanted to enroll his youngest son in an interest class, but the money was simply not enough, so why would he think of repairing a house for his hometown.

But now that Qi Sheng is here, thinking about the troubled world in the future, the first preparation is to give the current family a slightly more stable living environment.

Early the next morning, after the family finished breakfast, Qi Sheng took Qi Lei to his hometown in the outskirts of the city.

Qi Sheng's father used to teach elementary school Chinese in his hometown, and his mother was an ordinary farmer. Now that the old man has retired, Qi Lei goes to junior high school and lives on campus. He usually only comes back on weekends. The two elders are thinking of doing something to save Qi Lei Some private money, so together they opened a canteen at home.

Qi Sheng didn't buy anything on the way back, anyway, after a while he can slowly save some food in the name of purchasing, so there is no need to be so anxious now.

When I got home, there was only the old man in the canteen, and the old lady had already gone to the back yard to prepare lunch.

Today is the day when the grandson comes back, and the two elders are always very happy.

But this kind of joy changed when he saw Qi Lei get off from Qi Sheng's car, and the corner of his mouth was bruised.

The old man didn't understand the truth, and his first reaction was that Qi Sheng, an old man who had nothing to do with bullying his grandson, immediately turned livid when he was smiling when he was giving change to a customer.

Of course, when the old man saw his precious grandson, his attitude was still gentle and kind.

Only Qi Sheng, not long after getting out of the car, was met with death stares from his own father!

Qi Sheng felt that he was very innocent, and was about to wink at Qi Lei, asking him to help explain, but Qi Lei didn't even look at him after getting out of the car, and went straight to his grandfather.

The grandfather and grandson are not very friendly, and Qi Lei will only show his childishness and dependence when facing the two old people.

The two made out for a long time, and the old lady who heard the news also ran to greet the eldest grandson in a hurry.

This time, Qi Sheng used his height advantage to attract the old lady's attention for two seconds, and then the old lady didn't even look at him, and went around her grandson again.

But when the old lady saw the bruise on the corner of the elder grandson's mouth, she misunderstood it just like the old man!

The way of heaven is reincarnation, who will the heaven spare! Yesterday Qi Lei treated him like an outsider at Qi's house, today Qi Sheng looked at the three close grandparents and grandchildren like an invisible person, completely ignoring him.

Qi Sheng rubbed his nose, feeling a little pitiful.

"Dad, Mom, are you all in good health these days? The weather is really evil now."

The old lady prepared a lot of Qi Lei's favorite snacks and fruits in the main room, she didn't want to talk to Qi Sheng at all at the moment, she dragged her grandson straight to the backyard.

On the contrary, the old man is still willing to answer him a few words: "It was pretty good at first, but seeing your blood pressure is a little high today."

"Dad, have you misunderstood? The injury on Xiaolei's face has nothing to do with me. He was fighting with his classmates yesterday. After the school teacher informed me, I took him home."

On the way the two came, Qi Sheng offered not to tell what happened at the police station yesterday, and said that the wound on his face was caused by a fight at school, so as not to worry the two elders.

But maybe Qi Lei really didn't want to see him, and as soon as he returned to his territory, he ignored him and didn't explain to him.

Hearing this, the old man didn't quite believe it, who made Qi Sheng have too many criminal records, he squinted at Qi Sheng, turned his head back to the main room, and planned to ask his grandson about it.

The old man was afraid that Qi Sheng would treat Qi Lei harshly again where they couldn't see him. He not only asked the reason for the injury on his face, but also opened Qi Lei's clothes and checked his body in front of Qi Sheng. He wished he could directly express to Qi Sheng , I seriously suspect that you abused my precious grandson!

Qi Sheng smiled frankly throughout the whole process, but after the two elders confirmed that Qi Lei was not beaten by Qi Sheng many times, they didn't give him too good a look.

Although the old man dotes on his grandson, he will still be strict with what should be educated, such as fighting with his classmates this time.

"What needs to be solved by hand? If you have something to say, why are you fighting?"

The child was surrounded by the old lady and fed fruit just now, but now seeing his grandpa getting angry, he immediately stood up obediently and admitted his mistake.

The grandpa and grandson staged scenes of being criticized and being criticized, Qi Sheng looked at the child who was not good at the moment and smiled, and planned to sit on the sofa and eat fruit while watching.

It's a pity that the old lady who didn't like him very much noticed the direction of Qi Sheng's hand, and slapped it without hesitation.

The old lady didn't talk much, she glared at Qi Sheng and said, "Go and see the soup in my kitchen, don't stand here."

In his hands, he moved the washed fruit plate to a position away from Qi Sheng very naturally, which meant clearly, I prepared this for my precious grandson, you should work hard!

Qi Sheng has no status in his hometown, so he can only run to the kitchen in despair.

The old man here has already finished training Qi Lei, seeing that he admitted his mistakes sincerely, he just said symbolically that he would be punished for copying books.

The old lady felt a little distressed when she heard the words: "It's such a hot day, forget it this time, it's rare for the child to come back."

The old man also felt sorry for his grandson. Seeing his wife persuading him to make peace, he immediately followed the steps and asked, "Do you know what you did wrong this time? Will you fight again in the future?"

"I know I was wrong, and I won't fight again."

The old man was satisfied when he heard the words, and he looked at Qi Lei like he was looking at a baby bump, pulling him to start caring about his studies.

The family of three is very harmonious, if Qi Sheng didn't come today, maybe the atmosphere would be better.

When eating lunch, the two elders habitually picked the best meat on the plate to the grandson. Qi Lei felt sorry for the two elders, and would also give them food. The family of three was very close, and Qi Sheng felt that he had been violently attacked again: …

Okay, I'm not alone

In order to gain a sense of presence, Qi Sheng asked in a timely manner: "Dad, I came back this time mainly to renovate our house."

Hearing this, the old man didn't stop picking up food for Qi Lei. He watched his grandson eat up the food he had picked up. After he was satisfied, he turned to look at Qi Sheng suspiciously and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to repair the food?" House? Isn’t your money tight?”

"Didn't I run a cram school during the summer vacation? I just saved a little money so I can study hard."

"Then how are you going to fix it? How can you come here when school just started? I was thinking about buying a few buckets of white paint and fixing it myself a few days ago."

Seeing that the old man was willing to talk to him, Qi Sheng mentioned his thoughts when he came.

"Our house has been around for more than 20 years, and it can't last for a few days after repainting. I thought about scrapping it and rebuilding it, and then doing a good job."

"Reconstruction? Is it a bit expensive? Your mother and I are used to living in a new house now. It doesn't matter if we can't live in a new house. There is no need to spend this money." He glanced at Qi Sheng, and wanted to say something, but thought of Qi Sheng. Lei was here, but the topic was stopped.

"There's no need to rebuild, and you don't have to worry about the old house. I'll wait for the weather to cool down in a few days, and I can clean it up by myself. I can still live in it for another ten years."

Qi Sheng saw the old man's pause, and guessed that he still had his own thoughts in mind, so he stopped this topic first, and planned to talk after dinner.

The house had to be rebuilt. In the cruel days when there were only two seasons in the future, this old house would be too tortured to live in. Besides, after a year of various earthquakes and heavy rains, the tall buildings in the city dare not live in, and their family has to move back here.

There are only three rooms in the old house now, and it will be troublesome if we can't live in it by then.

In the past, because he didn't build a new house, the one who loved his younger son in the original body often favored his younger son after he came back. He almost couldn't calm down the second child's anger several times, and also caused Qi Lei to suffer a lot.

This time, at least he had to arrange the living conditions of the family well, and also avoid the family quarreling over the issue of accommodation in the future.

After dinner, the old man really mentioned to Qi Sheng what he wanted to say just now.

"Are you rich now? If it's true, I don't need you to repair my house. Your mother and I can live in whatever we want, but I think you should increase Leilei's living expenses."

He didn't wait for Qi Sheng to reply, and continued: "A thousand living expenses per month? The usual books, clothes and supplies are included. How would Leilei's life be without us? You should be eccentric." At this point, don’t think I don’t know about the living conditions of Hanghang. If you really have the money, I don’t ask for more. His living expenses will rise to 2,000 per month in the future. When he reaches high school, the tuition and necessary tutoring fees should be paid. You can too."

The old man's current pension and the money he earns from the canteen are six to seven thousand a month. He intends to save this money for Qi Lei. Under normal circumstances, it is enough for Qi Lei to graduate from college, but the old man is really worried that one day the old couple will have a relationship. It was an accident, Qi Lei had no one to help at that time, so this time, taking advantage of Qi Sheng's initiative to mention the house repair, let his son pay more for living expenses.

Hearing this, Qi Sheng couldn't help but lament the two elders' care for Qi Lei, and couldn't help cursing the original body's heartlessness and cruelty. He really didn't want to treat Qi Lei as his own kind at all.

Qi Sheng looked at the old man who had been waiting for his reply, smiled and said: "Dad, you are right, one thousand is really too little, and I neglected Leilei too much before, don't worry, I will go to the previous one every month from now on." Playing 2,000 on my card won't make Leilei suffer any more."

The old man nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, and was about to turn around and go back to the main room to talk to his grandson, when Qi Sheng mentioned the matter of building the house again.

"Dad, I won't lose Leilei's living expenses, but our old house really needs to be repaired, otherwise we won't be able to live in it if there is a slight rainstorm."

Hearing this, the old man frowned and asked, "If you want to rebuild according to what you said, do you have enough money now?"

The money he is saving now is reserved for Qi Lei's future use, so he doesn't plan to spend part of it to build a new house. Of course, the old man also has selfish intentions. If Qi Sheng is really willing to pay for the new house, then he is 100% happy.

The old man made a lot of small calculations. Now his son is willing to be filial to them and improve the living conditions for him and his wife. Without Qi Lei, he might not agree. There is no need for their old bones to burden the children too much because of the living conditions. But thinking that after he and his wife left, Qi Lei would not even have a home to return to, so he thought it would be good to build a new house, at least the foundation of the house would be in his hands, and after passing it on to his grandson, he would spend time in the city There is still a place to live when you don't go down.

Qi Sheng didn't know what the old man was thinking, so he calculated the family's current savings, and if he didn't plan to find a way to earn some money, he replied, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the money, so there won't be too much pressure."

Hearing this, the old man was relieved, and looked at Qi Sheng's face with a smile: "That's fine, if that's the case, rebuild it as you say, and I will cooperate in the whole process."
