"I'm back." Lin Qian pushed open the door, and saw Lin Yazhi, who was caught off guard, suddenly jumped up from the chair in the dining room, and fanned wildly towards the window with both hands as if hitting the battery. Laughing: "Aqian, I came back a little late today."
There was a strong smell of smoke in the air, Lin Qian's eyes moved down along Lin Yazhi's hand, and silently landed on the ashtray full of cigarette butts on the dining table.
Lin Qian gave him a deep look: "Are you smoking behind my back again?"
Lin Yazhi quickly picked up the ashtray and ran to the trash can to empty it. After emptying it, he felt that it was not enough. After thinking for a minute, he stood by the trash can and threw the ashtray away.
Rao was so, and when he came back, he felt a little guilty, he coughed lightly: "I just took two."
"Really?" Lin Qian stared at him with dignified eyes.
Lin Yazhi had no choice but to take a step back and said angrily, "...five."
Lin Qian kept looking at him without saying a word, and after a while, Lin Yazhi automatically confessed: "One pack..."
Seeing that Lin Qian still didn't trust him, Lin Yazhi wiped his face: "It's really just one pack. I bought it at the convenience store downstairs, and I definitely didn't buy more secretly."
Lin Qian shook his head helplessly, put his schoolbag aside, and said, "Don't smoke all the time, it's not good for your health."
He had once seen Lin Yazhi being exhausted and suffering from illness, which had a lot to do with his cigarettes at that time. Therefore, in this life, Lin Qian was reluctant to see him smoking.
In fact, since the relationship between their father and son eased, Lin Yazhi's smoking frequency has decreased a lot, but in recent days, he has been really upset, and it is inevitable that he has become addicted to smoking again.
"I see." Lin Yazhi didn't dare to refute his son's words, so Baba glanced at him and asked, "Well, do you want to have supper?"
Lin Qian: ! ! ! ! Level 1 Alert!
Seeing his son's pupils suddenly dilated, Lin Yazhi quickly explained, "I bought it outside, not made it myself."
Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief and showed a filial smile: "Okay."
Lin Yazhi: "..." There's a bit of heartbreak.
Lin Yazhi brought out the hot porridge simmered in a casserole and a few side dishes from the kitchen, and said, "Eat lighter in the evening."
Lin Qian had no objection. The father and son sat down face to face. Lin Qian made porridge for Lin Yazhi, then filled himself a bowl and ate it silently.
However, Lin Yazhi had no appetite. After stirring a spoon in the bowl for a long time, he didn't take a few bites.
Lin Qian looked up at him: "If you have something to say, speak directly."
Lin Yazhi couldn't tell what it was like, but he felt that after entering the third year of high school, his son suddenly became willing to communicate with him. The child, sometimes even makes him feel that his son is more reliable than himself.
Lin Yazhi thought about it for a while, and finally asked, "I heard from the principal that you don't want that recommended spot anymore?"
Lin Qian made a "hmm" sound.
Lin Yazhi put down the spoon and looked at him fixedly: "Are you afraid of being retaliated by Huo Pingchuan? You don't need to worry about this, I'm here... "
Lin Qian interrupted him: "No, I just don't want to walk."
Lin Qian gave Lin Yazhi a chopstick of dried incense, and said slowly but calmly, "I'm not afraid of Huo Pingchuan, and you shouldn't fight him at school for this."
Lin Yazhi was stunned for a moment: "Then why are you..."
Of course for love!
Lin Qian sighed in his heart, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he could only say in a roundabout way, "I just don't think I have to go to F University."
Lin Yazhi didn't expect such a reason, and was stunned for a while before asking, "Then which school do you want to go to?"
Lin Qian: "..." Dad, can you stop asking me in so much detail? He hasn't made up an excuse yet.
Seeing that Lin Qian was silent, Lin Yazhi, who felt that his relationship with his son had finally eased up, did not pursue him, but gave him an encouraging look and said, "No matter which school you want to go to, I will support you."
Lin Qianqing couldn't help laughing out loud, he really didn't know before that Lin Yazhi could accommodate him like this.
The porridge in Lin Qian's bowl had bottomed out. He added another bowl to himself and asked, "You just smoked a pack of cigarettes for this matter?"
Lin Yazhi shook his head and ate the dried incense that his son gave him. After being silent for a while, he said in frustration, "I think I'm useless."
Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, then put down the spoon and looked at him: "Why do you say that?"
Lin Yazhi reproached himself: "Huo Pingchuan almost lost your recommended quota this time, but I have nothing to do. If someone didn't happen to break the news on Weibo, the outcome might not be like this at all."
Lin Qian was silent. In this matter, Lin Yazhi did his best, but in reality, he really didn't play a big role.
In the USB flash drive Ke Muzi gave him, there were emails copied from Huo Pingchuan's mailbox, including a report letter against Huo Pingchuan drafted by Lin Yazhi, which was forwarded to him by the Education Bureau.
But even so, in Lin Qian's eyes, Lin Yazhi was by no means a useless father.
Lin Qian looked at him fixedly and said with a smile, "Didn't you hit him? I feel relieved."
"This is just a reckless act." Lin Yazhi said, with a stern look in his eyes, "I quit my job to teach at the Twelfth Middle School, just to take care of and protect your siblings. If something like this happens, I can only beat someone. If there is nothing else I can do, what qualifications do I have to be your backer?"
In the past or in the past, Lin Yazhi had never had the opportunity to confess his heart to Lin Qian face to face like this, and Lin Qian never knew that behind the abandonment of all the professions he had dedicated himself to, there was such a thing. mood and consideration.
"Dad." Lin Qian shouted, looked at him solemnly, and said seriously, "You are by my side and my sister, and you are the backer. We don't need you to do anything."
Lin Yazhi was a little moved, and his palm on the table trembled slightly. After a long time, he slowly said: "No, it must not be like this. I will find fault and beat Huo Pingchuan again on Monday."
Lin Qian laughed and continued to eat porridge, while saying, "There will always be a chance to hit him, so don't be in a hurry."
Lin Yazhi moved his wrist: "You can count once."
Lin Qian shook his head, emptied the porridge in the bowl, pushed the bowl aside, thought for a long time, then looked at him seriously, and said, "Dad, why don't you go back to your original work unit."
Lin Yazhi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously refused: "No, I finally resigned and succeeded..."
He thought it was because of Huo Pingchuan, and said firmly: "Don't worry, Huo Pingchuan can't move me."
Lin Qian couldn't help crying and laughing: "Why do you keep mentioning Huo Pingchuan? What kind of thing is he, and he can still influence our decision?"
Lin Yazhi was puzzled: "Then why did you suddenly mention..."
Lin Qian said, "You didn't like the teacher's work, did you?"
Lin Yazhi: "...!"
As a cool teacher who used to fly students, Lin Yazhi felt a little guilty: "It's not like I don't like it..."
"But you have a job you like more." Lin Qian interrupted him, "Dad, your life is still very long. There is no need to sacrifice the rest of your life for me and my sister."
What he didn't say was that he and Shao Sijia needed his father's company the most when he was absent, but now that they have grown up, they don't need the father's role as much.
These words, he once said to Lin Yazhi in a quarrel in the last life, and he was angry and resentful at that time, but when he thinks about it again, he has been able to understand and will not say it again.
At that time, he was still young and didn't understand the complexity and helplessness of the adult world. He only saw Lin Yazhi's absence from their growth, and only saw his mother's hard work. He never knew that his mother did not complain because she Understand Lin Yazhi.
Lin Yazhi didn't think so, and said, "No, I want to be by your side."
Lin Qian smiled and said, "If you really want to accompany us, you shouldn't continue to be a teacher at Twelfth Middle School."
Lin Yazhi was stunned for a moment.
Lin Qian spread his hands: "You think, Shao Sijia has already gone to college, and only comes back twice a year for winter and summer vacations..."
To be precise, because of her bad relationship with Lin Yazhi, she would not necessarily come back during the winter and summer vacations.
Lin Qian followed suit: "I will also go to university next year. According to my grades, even if I don't go to F University, I probably won't stay in Rongshi to go to university. By then, both Shao Sijia and I will be out of town, and we will come back in a year. In less than two months, leave you an empty nester at home, doing a job without passion... "
"Wow—" Lin Qian looked at the desolate situation that Lin Yazhi was about to face, "tsk tsk" shook his head, "It's too bad, you still don't know how to cook, think about it, you are a middle-aged man, and you don't do very well every day. Working hard, returning home, facing an empty house, no hot meal to eat, no cigarettes to smoke... "
With his description, Lin Yazhi's expression became more and more frightened, and Lin Qian gave him a summary: "If I were you, I would definitely have a mid-life crisis."
Lin Yazhi can almost see the empty-nest life she is about to face after her son's college entrance examination, coupled with the work that was meant to be done...
He felt like he was in the middle of a midlife crisis right now.
Lin Yazhi was a little shaken, but still tangled: "I used to be too busy at work, and the level of confidentiality was very high. If I go back to the unit, I may not see you all year round in the future."
It was precisely because of the need for confidentiality that after his wife died unexpectedly, he couldn't even come back to take care of Lin Qian's sister and brother at the first time. Resentment abounded.
Lin Qian brutally pierced his illusion: "If you stay in the No. 12 Middle School and continue to be a teacher, you won't be able to see us a few times a year."
Lin Yazhi: "..."
Lin Qian continued to hurt him: "When Shao Sijia and I work, there will be less time to go home..."
Lin Yazhi: ... shaken wildly.
Lin Qian saw a hesitant gleam in his eyes, and Shi Shiran said, "You think clearly, if you go back to your original unit, even if your children are not around, you can at least do what you like..."
Lin Yazhi took a deep breath: "Let me think about it."
"Okay." Lin Qian stood up, "I'm going to go to bed, you wash the dishes."
Lin Yazhi: "Oh."
When Lin Qian was about to walk back to the room, Lin Yazhi woke up like a dream, and hurriedly called him again: "Aqian, wait."
Inexplicably, Lin Qian turned to look at him: "What else is there?"
Lin Yazhi frantically rubbed around for a few laps before clinging to the corner of the wall, sticking out half of her head and saying cautiously, "That... Auntie Shiyi applied for a few days off with the unit, and plans to go home and live next month..."
Lin Qian was already mentally prepared for this. Hearing the words, he raised his eyelids indifferently and said, "Come on when you come."
Lin Yazhi was a little surprised by his reaction. In his imagination, Lin Qian should be making a lot of noise, and he might even run away from home with a black face. How could he be so calm
Lin Yazhi couldn't believe it, and was afraid that he would get impatient by asking too many questions, so he didn't dare to ask more, but while the atmosphere seemed to be good, he simply told everything in one go: "And... that... Aunt Shiyi, she has A son, the same age as you, is said to be studying in Rongshi alone, so... She wants to introduce the two of you to know each other... "
Lin Yazhi said that at the end, he closed his eyes in horror and waited for his son's violent storm.
He heard a chuckle from Lin Qian's direction, Lin Yazhi opened his eyes blankly, and Lin Qian waved at him: "Okay, let him come to the house with you."
When Lin Qian closed the door, Lin Yazhi still couldn't recover. After a long time, he remembered to send a message to Chen Shiyi: I think our family is about to usher in great harmony.
When Lin Qian returned to his room, he also started sending messages to Zheng Pingqing, telling him the conversation between him and Lin Yazhi.
Zheng Pingqing's evaluation of this is: This is fine, let your dad devote his body and mind to the construction of the motherland, and he will not have the energy to care about his son's troubles.
Lin Qian: …
He just felt that it was not worthwhile for Lin Yazhi to sacrifice his life, but his boyfriend obviously wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
I have to say, it seems to make some sense.
Lin Qian: Chen Shiyi said he wanted to introduce you to me.
Zheng Pingqing: Tsk, she hinted to me about this recently, what do you say
Lin Qian: I asked her to pack you up and bring it to the door.
Zheng Pingqing: You little villain.jpg
Lin Qian: Your expression pack caused me a lot of discomfort.
Zheng Pingqing: I thought about it and rounded it up. Are we officially meeting our parents
Lin Qian: Have you entered a bit too much
Zheng Pingqing: Not much, I didn't directly join the family.
Lin Qian: However, let Chen Shiyi take you to the door. Is our family about to usher in great harmony
Zheng Pingqing: I don't care whether your family is harmonious or not.
Zheng Pingqing: I am more concerned about when we will usher in the great harmony of life.
Lin Qian: ... I'm going to forward your obscene information to your brother-in-law and ask him to condemn you!
