In the Years When I Was a Father

Chapter 174: Indifferent father in the last days (4)

Views:

After thinking about it for a while, Qi Sheng knew the old lady's worry, so he solemnly expressed his attitude to the old lady.

"Mom, I have been thinking about my relationship with Leilei during this time. I was confused before and wronged him. Now I understand that Leilei is my son. I will treat him well in the future. How much fatherly love can Hanghang get?" , Leilei definitely has more and more!"

He spoke sincerely, but unfortunately the old lady still looked suspicious: "Are you serious? You don't hate Yang Ning anymore? Don't fool me with these nice words. Leilei is not a three-year-old now. Can you do well?"

She looked at Qi Sheng who had cleaned the dishes, walked out of the kitchen together with him, and continued with what she said just now: "You don't need to be hypocritical, I will talk about whether you are a father or not, now think about whether you can guarantee material things Leilei is the same as Hanghang? How much snacks, toys, clothes and training fees can you buy for Hanghang, can you achieve the same level as Leilei?"

The old lady's question hit the nail on the head. Fortunately, Qi Sheng is not the original body, so he can stand the test better.

"Of course it can be done, it's all my son, how could it be possible to shorten his!"

The old lady rolled her eyes indecently when she heard the words, and said directly to Qi Sheng: "Okay, I believe you, then why don't you give me the money I've been short of for these years first?"

Qi Sheng: ...

Hey, his parents are really a pair of veterans, they can see things thoroughly.

Qi Sheng: "Mom, isn't it necessary to repair the house? I don't have that much money at the moment, but don't worry, I will definitely make up for what is due to Leilei once I have more money!"

The old lady didn't show much trust when she heard the words, but before going to bed at night, she still told the old man what Qi Sheng said at night.

"Hey, has he finally figured it out? When he brought Leilei's mother back, we reminded him that that girl is not a person who can live a life. If he doesn't listen, he just likes her beautiful. In the end, the girl did something wrong to him, so she took all her anger on Leilei..."

When the old couple talked about the past, thinking about the grievances Qi Lei had suffered in these years, they couldn't help but sigh.

The old lady snorted: "Whatever he says, anyway, before he satisfies me, no, it should be that if Leilei can't completely forgive him, I won't let him take Leilei back!"

The old man also agreed: "You're right. Although Tian Yue is a good person, the child's own father doesn't hurt me, and we don't expect others. Leilei is doing well now, not bad for his vain love. .”

The old couple were unanimously dissatisfied with their son. As for Qi Lei, he didn't take Qi Sheng's anomaly today to heart. He thought that this man was probably for his grandparents to see.

The next day, when the children in the village heard that Qi Lei was back, several of them came to play with him, and a few of them gathered in the room to play games, while Qi Sheng stayed in the room and continued to perfect his house building business.

Before leaving in the afternoon, Qi Sheng went to Qi Dajun's house again, told Qi Dajun the details he just thought of, and then left with Qi Lei.

On the way, Qi Sheng looked at the child who was wearing a blindfold and planned to sleep all the way, and said, "Leilei, take off the blindfold first, let's talk."

Qi Lei did not refuse, but after taking off the blindfold, he kept looking forward and did not initiate a conversation.

"I told your grandma yesterday that I was wrong in the past and wronged you." He looked at the child who didn't respond, and continued: "Dad has also reflected on it during this time. It was my fault before. What happened in the past Dad will try his best to make up for it, and will treat you well in the future."

After hearing this, Qi Lei didn't react too much, until he realized that Qi Sheng had been waiting for his reply, so he replied in a very official way: "Oh, I see."

His expression was very flat, obviously he didn't take Qi Sheng's words to heart.

Qi Sheng is not in a hurry, this is just the beginning, and they will have plenty of time to spend together in the future.

Qi Sheng sent the child to the school gate, took out his mobile phone and transferred some pocket money for him, and said, "Take good classes at school, don't be greedy for cool things now that it's hot, come to me if you're short of money, I'll pick you up next weekend , let’s go back to grandpa’s house together.”

Qi Lei hummed when he heard the words, and walked straight to the school without further ado.

It was almost seven o'clock when Qi Sheng returned home, and Tian Yue had just cooked dinner, seeing him coming back, he couldn't help asking: "Have you decided on the house repair?"

"I'm sure, I've found all the people."

"So fast!"

"Well, the sky is not normal now, so don't worry if you fix it early, and I can save two trips back."

Tian Yue also thought it was reasonable to hear what he said, so she asked, "Did the engineering person tell you, how much will it cost?"

"More than two hundred thousand."

"More than 200,000 yuan? Is this going to be overhauled or rebuilt?"

Tian Yue thinks it's a bit too high, and besides, their family's current deposit is only more than 200,000 yuan, and she always feels a little uneasy when she puts it all in at once.

According to Qi Shengna's request, all the expenses would be more than 200,000 yuan, but now he is telling the truth, it will only bring burden and pressure to Tian Yue, the building of the house is imperative, and he doesn't want to make more troubles, so he concealed it a lot of.

"It can be regarded as reconstruction. Don't worry, the money is spent if it is earned. After the house is built, I will take more cram schools every weekend."

They are not a first-tier city here, and the management of school teachers is not so strict. Although the order prohibits school teachers from making up classes outside, there are still many teachers secretly holding classes.

The school's leaders also turned a blind eye, and Qi Sheng was not worried about being investigated, and besides, the whole society will be in chaos for a while, so no one cares about such trivial matters.

Of course, if you want to meet the cost of the new house, you can't do it by making up lessons. These are just temporary for Qi Shengming to deal with them. If you want to make money quickly, you have to come secretly.

But thinking about the house, Qi Sheng looked at his wife who was serving vegetables and said, "Is my brother planning to buy a house in the city recently? You tell him not to buy a house for a while, I heard from my brother in the real estate industry that in the past House prices will drop in two years."

Tian Yue brought out the dishes, and when she heard the words, she gave Qi Sheng a blank look: "You also believe this kind of thing. Twenty years ago, it was said that housing prices would drop, and those who believed in it felt remorseful. Now the experts have changed their minds and bought a house as soon as possible. !"

"That was in the past. My buddy knew a lot about the inside story of the industry. Anyway, within a year, the housing price would drop. Ming Wei is only in college now, and he is not sure where he will go after graduation. Why did the eldest brother buy a house so early! I said it would be better to take part of the money to repair the house in my hometown."

Tian Yue laughed when she heard the words: "Who will live in the old house after it's been repaired? Our parents are used to living in the city now, and the matter of buying a house depends on my brother's luck. Maybe he won't be able to win the number in half a year."

Hearing this, Qi Sheng retorted inwardly. In the past, his uncle was unlucky, and many real estate projects he liked didn't win the lottery, but who would have thought that before the end of the world was revealed, that guy's "good luck" would suddenly explode. It's rocked!

And they were lucky enough to buy a house with full money, directly blocking the road behind them completely.

Prices have undergone great changes in the last days. Food, vegetables, and fruits that were once inconspicuous have become very in-demand commodities. Those things that are not fancy, but the price is very cheap, especially the luxury brands, which are the hardest hit by the industry's decline.

Qi Sheng looked at his wife who didn't care very much, and decided to have a good chat with his uncle in a few days, hold the money in his hand, and wait for half a year, when every family returns to their hometown to repair the house, they can embezzle the money.

At this time, Qi Sheng could not help feeling that Huaguo has a vast land and resources, and most of the people in the city don't look very bright and beautiful. The last generation or two are farmers and there are quite a few who own land in their hometown. within the controllable range.

Unlike the country next door, which has a large population base and a pitifully small land area, the risk of resisting natural disasters is pitifully small.

Qi Sheng can't control that far, he just squats in his study room at night and works hard to make money online. Although the world will change and money will become less and less valuable in the future, at least he can fully prepare for it now.

During this period, Qi Sheng communicated a lot with Qi Dajun about building the house on WeChat, and would follow Qi Lei back to his hometown for two days every weekend. The progress of the new house was very fast, although the construction team usually only started construction in the morning or evening, but The results are still very gratifying.

The only regret is that the experience of returning to their hometown together many times did not bring Qi Sheng and Qi Lei's father-son relationship closer.

Qi Sheng knew that the child was hurt too deeply by the original body, and he expected this situation.

In late October, as people complained about the eerie heat, the eschatology of earlier years was brought up again.

Although most people don't believe it, the people of Huaguo, who have always liked to hoard goods, still carry daily necessities, food and meat in bags and catties to their homes.

The money Qi Sheng earned during this period was not only set aside for the cost of building the house, but also purchased a large amount of supplies.

At first, the old man thought he was buying things indiscriminately, but later everyone in the village hoarded goods, which seemed quite normal.

During this period, Qi Sheng secretly spread the possibility of the end of the world on the Internet, and advocated that everyone who has a hometown should go back and clean up, and there may be multiple shelters.

Entering November, when people were still talking about this strange sunny day, all the people who wished to stick to the air conditioner in their sleep were all woken up by freezing.

"I'll wipe it! It's going to kill me!"

"This damn weather!"

"There won't be a doomsday, right?"

It was obviously late at night, but because of the sudden cold air, all corners of the world were watching this weird sky and howling at the same time.

Many people tremblingly turned up the air-conditioning after feeling their emotions, removed the thin mats, and replaced them with thick blankets and winter quilts for winter.

At this time, Qi Lei, who was in the school, saw his roommate who was getting up tremblingly, and got up to get out of bed to grab the thick quilt.

"Fuck, the weather is amazing, it's suddenly so cold, what should I wear tomorrow?!"

Hearing this, Qi Lei stopped holding the quilt, looked at the winter clothes that had just been hung up in the closet, and remembered Qi Sheng's appearance when he insisted on bringing them.

Everyone made the beds again, hid under the covers and tremblingly looked at the temperature numbers of the air conditioner, with despair on their faces.

"Is the air conditioner broken? Why is it only cooling? There's no heat at all!"

The classmate who was far away from the air conditioner rolled his eyes when he heard this: "It's not warm in your place, it's as cold as winter in my place! Why do you say we turn on the air conditioner so much when we sleep at night!"

"Fuck, it's not what you asked for to drive so big!"

The two of them were so cold that they couldn't fall asleep, so they exchanged one sentence after another. They saw that Qi Lei had been silent, and Wang Feng, who had a loud voice just now, asked suspiciously: "Brother Lei, what are you doing? You can't fall asleep. "

"No."

"Oh, then why are you so quiet?"

"I don't want to be in the company of kindergarten children."

"What did you say!"

The other three howled to express their protest when they heard what he said. After the four of them made a fuss, Wang Feng thought of tomorrow's weather and howled instantly.

"Woo, my closet is full of summer clothes, how will I live tomorrow!"

"Ah, me too!"

"Brother Lei, help!"

The three of them saw him come back with a huge suitcase a few days ago. After looking through it curiously, they found that it was the winter clothes and even laughed at his IQ mercilessly. Now that just a few days have passed, it is too late for them to regret it.

Qi Lei replied coldly: "Oh!"

Everyone wailed again, but fortunately, all the students in the school were wailing at this time, and their dormitories were not particularly prominent.

"Brother Lei, please forgive me!"

"Brother Lei, please love me again!"

"Brother Lei, please give me another chance!"

The three roommates played tricks together, making Qi Lei, who was still worried just now, a headache.

"Shut up, you guys, and sleep honestly!"

The next day, the four people in the dormitory wore Qi Lei's clothes, but when it was Wang Feng's turn, it was a bit troublesome.

"I said, why do you buy such thin clothes! You're not a little girl."

"Obviously you are too fat!"

The puffy Wang Feng tried a lot of clothes, but finally he could only wear a T-shirt and tried to shrink himself into a slightly loose down jacket. He looked at the sports pants that looked like leggings on his body, and thought of his fat body, he couldn't help crying. She shed two crocodile tears.

Many of the boarding students didn't have thick clothes, and they were trembling as they ran into the classroom. Seeing the four of them in the dormitory put on thick clothes, their eyes were red with envy.

The students who live in the school are generally not close to their homes, so the parents haven't rushed over to deliver the clothes at this time, but Qi Sheng has arrived at the school gate at this time.

"There is black-bone chicken soup in the thermos. Go back and share it with your classmates. There are also some cold medicines here. Be careful and take some precautions if you feel unwell."

Qi Lei stared blankly and didn't answer, Qi Sheng could only take his hand and hand it over.

"Call me if you feel unwell, and I'll ask you for leave."

Qi Lei still didn't speak, Qi Sheng gave him a few more words of advice before saying goodbye to him.

"Go back, remember to finish the chicken soup, I'll bring you the stewed mutton at noon."

"no need-"

"Go back quickly, I'm leaving."

Qi Sheng got in the car and waved at the child, and left straight away after completing his favorability score.

Qi Lei, who hadn't reacted yet, looked at the things in his hands and fell silent for a moment.
