Compared to Guan Shouheng's expectations, An An is much calmer, at least on the surface.
He hesitated slightly, shook his head and refused, "It's a little early to call now."
Guan Shouheng's heart tightened again, "Does An An have any other questions?"
An'an?
Why are you calling so affectionately?
An An shrank back subconsciously, with a hint of wariness on her face.
He must hold on! He cannot be soft-hearted now!
"Of course. I have to ask first, what are you planning to do next? Do you want to hold a wedding with your mother? Also, where we will live in the future, the small attic will be demolished, you know, right? What do you think about your mother and her belly?
What are the arrangements for my little baby, and of course me?" An Anzi asked carefully, not his mother-in-law, but because these things are enough to show his sincerity! He will never hand over his mother casually.
For him, even if he is the father who gave birth to him!
Guan Shouheng looked at his son in disbelief. It was hard to believe that this was a child who was less than ten years old. He couldn't help but admire his such mature thoughts and calm aura.
"Has anyone ever said that you don't look like a child?" He asked with admiration but distress.
"Yes, yes, but this is not surprising at all. If you are me, and you have not had a father since you were born, and your mother is not very good at taking care of yourself, and the hard-earned money is either to pay off debts or to give it to the hospital, then you must
You will be the same as me." An An said clearly and logically.
Guan Shouheng nodded understandingly, "I can understand, because the situation was similar when I was a child."
"I know, like me, you have not had a father since you were a child." His mother had told him this, so his father liked children so much.
Guan Shouheng shook his head, corrected his son seriously and said, "It's different. My father has always known about my existence but ignored it, but I just learned about your existence just now."
So? Is he going to start expressing his guilt? But he doesn't need this!
After he was three years old, when he started to remember, his mother told him everything about her and his father, so he knew that his father did not abandon his mother and him on purpose, so he did not hate his father and did not need his confession.
Compared to his guilt about the past, he was actually more looking forward to hearing his plans for the future.
"I don't blame you. Although I am still just a child in the eyes of adults, I actually know everything." An An said to Guan Shouheng seriously, with calmness written all over her pretty little face.
Guan Shouheng was surprised when he saw it, and his heart was even more moved.
His son doesn't blame him because Mint has a good education, but he himself can't help but blame himself!
"I have always liked children, but An'an, to be honest, I don't really like you now." Guan Shouheng said frankly.
Hearing this, An An's little face, which had been trying to remain calm, suddenly changed, and her bright eyes widened incredibly.
"Are you surprised?"
More than just an accident? It’s simply terrifying!
Hasn't he always liked children? Then why doesn't he like him again? Is there something about him that doesn't look cute, or is there something wrong with his brain that makes him so disliked by his biological father?
Guan Shouheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw the weird expression on his son's face. He had misunderstood what he meant!
"An'an, what I actually mean is that I don't like you to be so mature and sensible. Because I think children should look like children, be more innocent, lively, willful, and love to act coquettish. This is the best. And you
Being so good and caring only makes me feel sad. Looking at you now, I can't help but think of my past self. That kind of experience without childhood, or that childhood is too short, is actually a kind of experience in life.
Missing. Do you understand what I say?"
An An shook her head in confusion, "I don't understand."
He thinks there is nothing wrong with this!
Guan Shouheng smiled bitterly and recalled, "I used to be like you. I thought there was nothing wrong with being independent early. But when I grew up, I found that I was out of place and had no friends. Although I wouldn't be unable to survive, sometimes I would
Very lonely.
"But I was lucky enough to meet your mother. I think she is the goddess of light in my life. Although I was still very young at that time, I immediately recognized her as the person I love most in my life. If I hadn't met her back then,
When it comes to your mother, I still don’t know what my life will be like. Maybe my career will still be as successful as it is now, but I may just be a money-making machine, and I will never realize what warmth and love are.
"So An'an, I don't want you to be like me when I was a child. I hope you are like other children, happy, without any burden, and enjoying your childhood and youth."
An An, who always regarded himself as a smart person, was finally a little confused and could only listen blankly.
In fact, from the time he could remember, only his mother was the only one in his memory who said similar things to him. All other people, such as teachers, classmates, parents, and neighbors, all praised him for being sensible and obedient, and they all wished that they themselves
The children at home are as smart and well-behaved as him.
And now, another person said this, which made him suddenly feel like crying, because he felt that the father who gave birth to him not only had a biological relationship with him, but also had a deeper and deeper respect for him.
Love from the bottom of my heart.
Well, he admitted that he was very, very moved. But what moved him even more was the gentle power in his eyes when he just talked about his mother.
Although he still doesn't understand what love feels like, but seeing the expression on his face when he talked about his mother, he actually believed what people often say - love is great!
But……
"Mom is not very good at taking care of herself or doing housework. You know this, right?" An An asked.
"Of course, she can even break a dish when washing it." Guan Shouheng couldn't agree more.
"That's right, she has absolutely no talent in this area." An An stated the facts.
"What do you want to say?" Guan Shouheng looked at his son playfully.
An An suddenly felt like his thoughts were being read, and a layer of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he held on and did not flinch, but chose to meet his suspicious eyes.
"What I mean is... your love for your mother may still have been ten years ago. You separated less than a year after getting married, so your impressions of each other are still very fresh. But now that ten years have passed, in fact,
You may not really understand her."
Guan Shouheng understood a little, but found it funny. He couldn't help but asked jokingly, "You mean, does your mother know how to do housework now?"
"How is that possible?" An An couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"Of course it's impossible. It will be more difficult for her to do housework than to memorize a book." Guan Shouheng said with a smile, but his tone was full of indulgence.
An An nodded and agreed, but he still had some doubts in his heart, "I think you still like your previous mother. I have seen pictures of my mother before. Her appearance has not changed much, and she is still very beautiful, so you are probably doing it."
I don’t know how I feel. If you want to remarry your mother, you may just want to fulfill a dream you had back then. But once the dream comes true, you may soon find that the dream is not beautiful at all. It is because you think too much.
It’s just too much, and you might really want a divorce in a few days.”
"Marriage is not a child's play!" Guan Shouheng promised seriously.
"But there is a saying - what you can't get is the best." An An quickly retorted and put forward her own thoughts, "You and your mother have been married for too short a time, so you always think about them, but maybe you
After you really remarry, you will regret it soon. Just like when I was in kindergarten, the supermarket near the school sold many kinds of bread. My biggest wish at that time was to taste every flavor, but I
I wanted to help my mother save money, so I only bought the cheapest kind every day, because if I saved three times, I could buy another one. Then I always wanted to eat those other flavors of bread, until Wu and I later
…”
An An almost let it slip, but quickly changed her words, "After my friend and I helped a supermarket owner, the owner allowed us to go to his store every morning to get a free piece of bread to eat, and then I finally got to eat other flavors of bread.
, but as I ate them, I found that they were not as delicious as I imagined. They were just good-looking, and in terms of nutrition, they were not as good as the ordinary ones I had eaten before."
Guan Shouheng felt extremely sad when he heard his son's words. At such a young age, he knew how to help adults save money, and he was reluctant to even eat bread.
"What kind of bread does An An like best now? Dad will buy it for you."
"I haven't eaten the kind of bread sold outside for a long time! I bought a bread machine at home and I can bake it myself. It's cheap and has no preservatives!" An An said proudly.
"That's it..." Guan Shouheng was a little disappointed, but it didn't matter, he could bake it for his son with his own hands!
"Does An An like sandwiches? Dad is very good at making them. Tomato ham and cheese sandwich, ham and cheese sandwich, roasted meat and apple sandwich, and vegetarian sandwich. Dad can make them. Which flavor do you like?"
"Vegetarian sandwich?" An An couldn't help but be curious about this. Don't sandwiches always have ham or tenderloin in them? Why are they still vegetarian?
"It's just two pieces of toast with only apple slices, tomato slices, taro puree, and some green vegetables..." Guan Shouheng said, but couldn't go on.
Over the years, he has only been vegetarian. Many people have advised him, including himself, who knows that this is not good for his health, but the shadow in his heart is causing trouble, and he can't change it no matter what.
But now that he saw An An, he thought his problems might be corrected.
Guan Shouheng suddenly stopped talking. When An An also "repented", he was immediately annoyed. What's wrong with him? Is he hungry? Why did the topic suddenly turn to food?
"The point is not bread, okay?" An An couldn't help rolling her eyes, and even spoke English in a hurry.
Guan Shouheng quickly regained his composure. Seeing his son's anxious and troubled expression, he suddenly wanted to laugh. He was still a little childish!
However, he did not dare to laugh. He knew what his son meant. The point was not the bread, but the reason why he wanted to remarry.
"An'an, actually we can use bread as a metaphor. Didn't you just say that after eating it, you still think the one you ate at the beginning tastes the best? In fact, I treat your mother the same way, even though we have been separated for ten years.
Years ago, but I still remember everything about her, just like you have started to make your own bread now, and I also want to put her well at home and take care of her myself."
"How can this be the same? Mom is not bread!"
"It's just a metaphor." Guan Shouheng quickly clarified, "Actually, your mother is like food to me. Without her, I would have no strength and would not be able to live a good life."
"But won't you feel bored if you eat the same food again?" An An said politely, agreeing with his analogy.
Guan Shouheng shook his head in amusement, "Are you saying that your mother is boring?"
In fact, he himself had doubted his son's problem. He wondered whether he felt pity for her because of guilt and was worried about her living alone. The answer was no!
After he returned to China, before he knew what happened to her, he would not let go of her.
At that time, he thought he was bent on revenge, but in fact, it was just an excuse he made for himself, an excuse to see her.
"How is that possible? Mom has many advantages!" An An immediately retorted.
Guan Shouheng nodded in agreement, "I know this."
"Then tell me?" An An continued to test. It was not that he deliberately made things difficult for his father, but that he had to make sure first to see if he was still living in the memory of the past. If he thought that the mother now was still the same as the mother ten years ago.
Same, that would be a big mistake!
If he remarries his mother rashly before he understands the situation, problems may arise in the future. What will the mother do then, and what will happen to the baby in her belly? If the mother will still be sad in the future, then
It's better not to remarry now. At most, he will work harder in the future and help his mother take care of more babies.
"Your mother is a very proud and stubborn woman..."
"Isn't this an advantage?" An An couldn't help but interrupt him.
Guan Shouheng couldn't help but laugh and sighed, "In my opinion, it is an advantage, but actually that is her true character. She is very brave and naive. She will do whatever she thinks is right and do it regardless. That is her pride.
, because she believes she is right, and her lack of hesitation is actually her stubbornness, and her innocence is not stupidity, but her disdain to argue with others.
"She is very smart and learns everything quickly. She is a born princess, and it has nothing to do with whether she wears beautiful clothes. She is very strong and has high demands on herself. If she doesn't do something, she must be the best. She
She looks very strong, but she is actually very gentle on the inside, but she is not very good at expressing it. She looks cold, but she is actually very kind-hearted, but few people believe it. She is very decisive and decisive in doing things, so she often gives people
There is a feeling of lack of affinity, but her heart is actually very, very soft, and she likes small animals very much..."
Speaking of Xiaobai, Guan Shouheng suddenly paused, feeling pain in his heart again.
"Little animal?" An An asked curiously.
Obviously, he knew nothing about Xiaobai.
Guan Shouheng's heart tightened even more. It seemed that she didn't tell An An about Xiao Bai. Was it because she didn't want her son to feel sad, or because she was so sad that she didn't want to mention it anymore? Maybe it was both!
"Yes, small animals. She likes dogs very much, especially shepherd dogs." Guan Shouheng picked up the tea cup. The tea was slightly colder. After taking a sip, he suppressed the sourness in his heart.
An An blinked and said considerately, "Mom is pregnant with the baby now and cannot keep pets."
Guan Shouheng was relieved. An An was really sensible and good at taking care of others. He was really grateful to his son. Fortunately, An An had been with her over the years.
"Son, thank you!" Guan Shouheng said sincerely, and he couldn't help but hug An An with his big hands.
An An's body trembled and was surrounded by a broad chest.
That feeling... is very fresh and wonderful!
Of course, this is not his first time to hug him. His mother often hugs him. However, his father’s arms are different from his mother’s arms. His mother’s arms are very warm, while his father’s arms are very solid!
His arms hugged him very tightly, and he could even feel his father's rapidly accelerating heartbeat, one after another, merging with his frequency.
It was a feeling of... a father-son connection, which made his eyes uncontrollably hot.
An An blinked hard and secretly covered up the moisture in the corner of her eyes.
He sniffed hard, swallowed hard, and then choked with sobs and said, "vater!"
Dad, German.
Guan Shouheng was slightly startled. This foreign language he was most familiar with caught him off guard.
He was so excited that he couldn't speak. His eyes quickly turned red and tears blurred his vision.
"[der]sohn!" son, German.
An An's eyes couldn't help but moisten, but he still stubbornly added, "Don't be too happy too early. I'll call you this for now. From now on, I will take a test every week. Once you pass, I will change the language."
I won’t call you in Chinese until the very end.”
Guan Shouheng couldn't laugh or cry. It turned out that it was not a good thing that his son was a language genius!
"Okay, I'm willing to accept your test. But An'an, can I take your mother to get the certificate first on Monday?"
