Chapter 508 Father and Daughter Have the Same Taste
Just as he was talking, Ling Chunhua held a glass of water and placed it in front of Shao Lin.
"Grandpa, drink water."
Hearing Ling Chunhua's name, Shao Lin's smile became a little stiff.
These years, he has been alone, time flies by, and he doesn't feel that he is getting old.
But suddenly, he had a daughter, a son-in-law, and a grandniece who had grown to his thighs. He seemed to have suddenly become old.
"Your name is Chunhua, right? Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Today's Ling Chunhua has changed a lot compared to last year. Her facial features have grown a lot, her eyebrows are lively, her face is like a jade plate, her smile is like a flower, she is beautiful and lovable.
Shao Lin couldn't help but touched her head, "How old are you?"
"Seven years old."
"Um, have you gone to school?"
"I will start first grade in September."
Ling Jiang came in with the dishes and saw Shao Lin chatting with his daughter, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Children don't understand anything. Don't be surprised by your father-in-law."
Shao Lin smiled and said: "No, Chunhua is very sensible and polite."
"Don't praise her. After a while, her tail will be raised in the sky."
As soon as Ling Jiang finished speaking, he received a glare from his daughter, "You are the only one with a tail!"
Ling Jiang patted her on the back of the head lovingly, "In front of grandpa, don't act erratically and go to the kitchen to serve food."
"I know, don't touch my head all the time."
"It made my father-in-law laugh."
"My daughter's house is more lively and cute."
Looking at Ling Chunhua's angry back, Shao Lin couldn't help but show envy on his face.
When his Momo statue was this big, it must have been cuter than it is now, right? Alas, it was a pity that he would never have the chance to see it in his life.
Today is an important day for Yunmo's college entrance examination, so the food is more generous than usual.
Three meats and three vegetables, plus a loofah omelette soup.
In fact, there were originally two meat dishes, but because of Shao Lin's arrival, Lingchuan added another dish of fried bacon.
Shao Lin ate less of the other dishes and only tasted a small bite, but he only preferred the tomato scrambled eggs and sweet and sour pork ribs.
Even Ling Jiang couldn't help but ask: "My father-in-law, do you like sweet dishes?"
Shao Lin swallowed the food in his mouth and put down his chopsticks before replying: "Yes, my taste has always been sweet since I was a child."
"Oh, then your taste is the same as that of your younger siblings. My younger siblings also like sweets. You are indeed a father and daughter."
Shao Lin was a little surprised to hear that Yun Mo also liked sweet dishes, "Momo, do you also like sweet dishes?"
"Um."
Yun Mo glanced at Shao Lin and then at Huang Zhiqiu.
She just thought that Shao Lin had eaten the tomato scrambled eggs and sweet and sour pork ribs, which were Huang Zhiqiu's craftsmanship. She was able to eat them for a long time because of the taste.
She didn't know what the original owner's taste was. Anyway, her taste in her previous life was on the sweet side, and it was still the same here.
Yun Mo had to take an exam in the afternoon, so after dinner she went back to the house to rest.
Ling Jiang cleaned up the dishes and kitchen, while Huang Zhiqiu and Ling Chuan drank tea with Shao Lin in the main room.
Lingchuan was not a blind person. He saw that Shao Lin and Huang Zhiqiu had something to say, so he quickly got up and went to the warehouse on the pretext of being busy with work.
There was a wall between the main room and Yun Mo's bedroom. Worried that it would affect his daughter's rest, Huang Zhiqiu took Shao Lin to his daughter's study.
"This is Momo's study."
Seeing Shao Lin looking around curiously, Huang Zhiqiu explained, "Go sit on the coffee table over there."
"good."
Compared to the warmth and cuteness of ordinary girls' study rooms, Yun Mo's study room looks more like an office.
In the center is a large mahogany desk, and behind the desk is a whole wall of antique shelves.
There are not many books on the shelves, but more various documents, information, and a few decorative ornaments.
With the desk as the center, there are coffee tables and chairs on the left, which looks like a reception area, and easels, painting tools, paints, etc. are placed on the right.
Shao Lin walked to the easel and stopped to admire an unfinished sketch on the easel.
"Zhiqiu, this was painted by Momo? Momo usually likes to draw?"
"This is a design draft she drew a few days ago, and it's not finished yet."
Shao Lin was a little surprised, "Momo is studying design?"
"No, we have opened a bamboo weaving factory, and Momo will draw some design sketches when she has nothing to do. Now the gift box orders received by the factory are all designed by Momo."
After hearing what Huang Zhiqiu said, Shao Lin discovered that the sketch on the drawing paper was a bamboo gift box.
After viewing the study, Shao Lin followed Huang Zhiqiu to sit down at the coffee table.
Looking at the other party's demure and beautiful side face, Shao Lin couldn't help but feel infinite emotion and sigh in his heart.
"Zhiqiu, you should have brought Momo to me earlier, you know who I am..."
"I have no idea."
Huang Zhiqiu interrupted him, looking at him calmly with a pair of almond-shaped eyes similar to Yun Mo's.
"I went back to the guest house from the countryside, and everyone told me that you took Yuan Jia away. I thought I was being unkind. I hated you and complained about you, but with the birth of Momo, I didn't care anymore.
I was filled with resentment and hatred, and every day I just thought about how to raise her, find more food for her, and let her wear warm clothes. Until..."
Seeing Huang Zhiqiu suddenly shed tears without warning, Shao Lin took out a handkerchief in a panic and handed it over.
Huang Zhiqiu did not take his handkerchief, but gently wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand.
"When I found out that the daughter I had worked hard to raise for 18 years was not my biological daughter, and she ran back to her biological family without even leaving a single word, I felt like my whole world was falling apart.
During that time, I hated myself, I hated you, and even more, I hated God for being unfair to me and allowing me to go through so many ups and downs and sufferings.
But later, Momo came back, and the first time I saw her, I came back to life. She didn’t blame me for losing her at all. She was sensible, filial and considerate, and was a thousand times better than my adopted daughter who ran away from home.
Ten thousand times.
I am particularly grateful to God for sending Momo back to me. From that moment on, I decided to let go of my heart and forgive you and the past.
Because the happiness and joy that Momo brings to me are much more than the pain and hatred that you bring to me. People don’t have everything, and they don’t have nothing. It’s enough for me to have Momo as my daughter, so
, Mingzhi, I don’t hate you, nor do I blame you.”
In Shao Lin's position and status, he is used to seeing intrigues and intrigues, and he also sees through human nature.
But he knew that what Huang Zhiqiu said came from the bottom of his heart, without any adulteration.
Shao Lin couldn't help but smile, his eyes, which were always gentle but yet penetrating, were filled with water.
"Zhiqiu, you are still the same as before, very kind, but tough and stubborn at heart. In fact, before I came here, I imagined that if you were not so stubborn and stronger, if you agreed to return to the capital with me from the beginning, there would be no relationship between us.
It will be like this now.
But just now, I discovered that my idea was completely wrong. You are you, and it was these qualities of yours that attracted my attention in the first place.
I'm sorry that I hurt you. Although that was not my intention, I will do my best to make it up to you.
At the same time, I am also very grateful to you for giving birth to Momo and raising her up. I am also a father and know how difficult it is to raise children well. You are amazing."
The words "I am also a father" made Huang Zhiqiu's mood become complicated.
Before she could ask, Shao Lin took the initiative to explain, "Zhiqiu, Yuan Jia and I are not what you think..."
