It has been a long time since the family sat together and had a meal like this.
An Yuanyao and Zhou Shiyan prepared a large table of delicious food. Unlike before, Liu Changqing rarely visits the kitchen now, and An Yuanyao cooks most of the time.
The passage of time has not changed him much.
For example...the fact that I still drink poorly has not changed.
Chen Dafu was obviously a drinker. Because he could not give birth to a son, he was very afraid of his father. He ran away from home and came to Liu Changqing's home to eat and drink.
In order to relieve the depression in his heart, he planned to have some drinks with Liu Changqing, but Liu Changqing, who had not drank alcohol for a long time, unexpectedly rejected him.
This made Chen Dafu, who was originally a little depressed, even more depressed.
After having a few drinks alone, he suddenly realized that he was not the only one in Liu Changqing's family who knew how to drink. Wasn't his eldest son who had returned home from other places ready-made?
At this moment, Chen Dafu didn't know why, but his memory returned to several years ago.
I vaguely remember that night...
A teenager beat him to the ground mercilessly with a brick.
Although he could barely be regarded as an elder, he didn't care too much at the time, but it was impossible not to care. If you think about it carefully, he was beaten by a 15-year-old boy when he was 26 years old...
Very embarrassing.
As the saying goes, the old and new accounts were settled together. Chen Dafu immediately shouted that he wanted to have a drink with his eldest nephew to have a relationship. This made Liu Zhiyue, who was having a meal honestly, a little stunned for a moment.
After reacting, he quickly waved his hand and refused.
"I'm not much of a drinker. I'm not a good drinker."
"It's okay, just take a sip!"
"uncle……"
"We haven't seen each other for so long, come... eldest nephew! Let's have two drinks with uncle! I promise, just two drinks!"
After several shirks, Liu Zhiyue didn't know what Chen Dafu was thinking, so he could only reluctantly pour liquor into the glass in front of him.
after an hour.
"Hulu~Hulu~Hulu~"
Chen Dafu, whose face was flushed, lay on the sofa in an extremely ugly posture, with his eyes closed tightly and snoring loudly.
Liu Changqing and Liu Changqing, who had eaten and drank enough, gathered around him and watched.
Seeing Chen Dafu's drunken appearance, Liu Changqing sighed helplessly and prepared to move him from the sofa to the guest room. Unfortunately, he seriously misjudged Chen Dafu's degree of drunkenness.
Even he couldn't move the other person easily, so he simply moved his body and managed to get together on the sofa.
After the three children finished eating, they ran to the yard to play, and Liu Xiazhi and An Yuanyao also pulled Zhou Shiyan to say something. For a while, only Liu Changqing and his son were left in the huge house, lying on the sofa.
Chen Dafu is sleeping soundly above.
After Liu Changqing finished dealing with Chen Dafu, he turned and walked towards the study on the second floor, greeting his son behind him as he walked.
After hearing his father's greeting, Liu Zhiyue didn't think much and followed his father up.
The decoration of the study room is not luxurious, but rather ordinary.
Coming to the window, Liu Changqing opened it and looked at the scenery outside the house.
After a long time, he finally asked.
"You two are living together?"
"Um."
Liu Zhiyue had no intention of hiding any questions he had with his father, and gave a straightforward answer.
After hearing his son's response, Liu Changqing's face with her back to him showed an expression that was indeed like this.
He had expected this to be the case not long after his child went to college.
After all...he also watched these two children grow up.
The two met from junior high school to getting along with each other in high school...
Although a lot of things happened, the final result was still satisfactory.
Now that I heard this answer, I didn't feel that surprised.
He lowered his head slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Changqing's mouth, but when he turned around, the smile on his face also subsided.
Looking at his son behind him.
Looking at his face that was also a little red...
"Have you made plans for the future...?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Liu Zhiyue finally nodded.
"I plan to get married after graduation. At that time, we were just old enough to get the certificate."
"Really? We have already considered this far."
"The idea was in my mind from the moment I made up my mind."
"You are quite single-minded emotionally..."
After saying such a sentence, Liu Changqing walked to the side, pulled out the chair in front of the desk and sat on it. He leaned back on the chair as if he was a little tired.
He raised his head slightly and looked at his son in front of him.
"I also saw the news a few days ago on the Internet. You rescued an old man who was ill on the subway, and you were photographed and posted on the Internet... I see that many netizens praise you for your good looks."
"I didn't pay much attention to this. The situation at that time was quite special..."
"Then what are your plans now? After graduation, do you plan to work in a company, or do you plan to work in a hospital step by step?"
"dad……"
After hearing his father's words, Liu Zhiyue, who was slightly drunk after having just finished drinking with Chen Dafu, suddenly became sober at this moment.
The eyes looking at his father were full of confusion.
Looking at the eyes cast by his son, Liu Changqing, as a father, did not mince words, but directly said what was in his heart.
"Your younger brothers and sisters are still young, and Xia Zhi's child is only in high school... You are very smart and very capable. I have known this for a long time... I have been married to your mother for all these years, even though I promised to wait for you."
After settling down, I went out to relax, but I never found a good opportunity..."
"..."
"The reason why you suddenly changed your mind to study medicine during the college entrance examination, I also know what happened... But some things cannot be changed once they have happened. Even if she is now..."
Before he could finish his words, Liu Changqing suddenly chose to shut his mouth, as if he didn't seem to mention this person.
After being stunned for a while, Liu Changqing suddenly closed his eyes, and a sigh came from his mouth.
"Forget it... you can make up your own mind. I don't want to dictate your choice too much... you just have to be aware of it."
"dad……"
"Okay, that's it...when will you go back tomorrow?"
"Let's finish our meal in the morning."
"Is it so early... Yes, we don't have much time during weekends."
He said these words to himself, and then Liu Changqing waved to his son to leave the study.
"Go out and talk to your mother, she misses you too."
"good."
Liu Zhiyue didn't stay too long. After he left, Liu Changqing was the only one left in the study, sitting on a chair.
Looking at his son's back after leaving, Liu Changqing was silent for a long time.
I don't know why, but I can't say a word.
After walking out of the study, Liu Zhiyue turned around and walked towards the room where his sister was. When he opened the door.
As expected, Zhou Shiyan and the others were talking.
The three people who were awakened by Liu Zhiyue's move immediately stopped their discussion and all focused their attention on him.
At this time, An Yuanyao, a mother, was the first to ask.
"You just drank so much, do you want to go back to your room and rest for a while?"
"No……"
"I'll send you into the house to rest first."
Before Liu Zhiyue finished speaking, Zhou Shiyan on the side said this.
Then he stepped forward and held Liu Zhiyue's arm, facing An Yuanyao, mother and daughter, with a smile on his face.
"Auntie, the two of us will go back to the house."
"Well, go ahead."
After saying hello, Zhou Shiyan led Liu Zhiyue towards the room where he originally lived. After the two of them walked out of the door, Liu Xiazhi, who had witnessed all this, asked curiously.
"I always feel like...the relationship between my brother and her is not quite right!"
"..."
Hearing what her daughter said, An Yuanyao was obviously stunned.
After reacting, he turned his gaze in the direction of his daughter.
This kid...didn't he see it this whole time?
Not knowing what her mother was thinking, Liu Xiazhi was as if possessed by a famous detective at this moment, and began to make crazy guesses about the intimate behavior between the two just now.
The expression on his face was a little solemn.
Soon, she suddenly realized what she was doing. She jumped up from the bed and looked at An Yuanyao in shock.
He expressed his guess.
"Mom, brother, is she in love with Zhou Shiyan?!"
"..."
"It's very possible. I felt something was wrong when we just ate. Why did Zhou Shiyan give the unfinished rice to her brother? He wouldn't even eat my leftovers before..."
Hmm? Has this kid ever had any leftover food?
Looking at her daughter's surprised look, An Yuanyao was obviously a little incomprehensible.
Not knowing what her mother was thinking, Liu Xiazhi, who thought she had caught her brother, gradually began to become a little excited.
A look of interest flashed across his eyes, and Liu Xiazhi continued speaking as if talking to himself.
"Now that I think about it, when Zhou Shiyan lived in our house, the two of them must have been secretly together, and they stayed in the same room every day under the guise of studying."
"..."
"Does this mean that she will be my sister-in-law from now on?"
"Xia Zhi..."
"When they have children, will I become an aunt! I am only in high school now... Will it be earlier to become an aunt? Wait a minute... Chun Nuan is only five years old. If my brother has a child, it will be different from theirs.
The age is not much different..."
"Xia Zhi...are you thinking too much?"
"Mom, you are going to be a grandma!"
An Yuanyao, who was just about to persuade her daughter not to think too much, suddenly heard these words coming from her mouth and was stunned for a moment.
After a few seconds, she finally reacted.
Think about it carefully...this is indeed the truth.
I...am going to be a grandma?
Looking at her daughter's excited face, An Yuanyao also felt a little lost.
