After listening to the shoe repair uncle's roar in the hut, I suddenly thought: Xiaoqin's biological father, Huo Zhenbang's informant who stayed in Dongshan City, was the shoe repair uncle.

I clearly remember that Xiaoqin said that the shoe repairman came to "us" when he was desperate, and Aunt Ren didn't know anything about the shoe repairman, so Xiaoqin covered up the close relationship between him and the shoe repairman. Relationship is like covering up one's secret communication with Huo Zhenbang.

It turns out that shoe repair uncle, you joined the underworld after you resigned from the National Security Bureau. At least before your shoe repair business got on the right track, you worked in the underworld for a while. What did Huo Zhenbang ask you to do? Did he ask you to eavesdrop on the annual reports of other underworld members? Have you had a development meeting?

Regardless of whether the shoe repairman is a real member of the Triad or not, he always has some connections with Huo Zhenbang and others, so it is natural that he was ordered to stay in Dongshan City to act as an informant and monitor whether Xiao Qin was bullied by me. matter.

The shoe repairman who once stole information from foreign embassies is now playing the role of a whistleblower. He is really overqualified and underqualified. No wonder the shoe repairman feels deeply depressed and vents his anger by cursing Chinese football.

I decided not to let the shoe repairman see my dad and I.

Although Huo Zhenbang contracted AIDS and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​remarrying Aunt Ren, there is no guarantee that he will support Aunt Ren's remarriage.

As a father, he always has complicated feelings about his daughter having a boyfriend or getting married.

Therefore, although Huo Zhenbang did not strongly object to Xiaoqin's choice of me, his attitude towards me was quite yin and yang, as if he was constantly testing me.

Well now, Huo Zhenbang, who originally felt helpless that "sooner or later his daughter will belong to someone else," would be extremely depressed if he found out through the shoe repairman that his ex-wife was also going to be someone else's wife.

I definitely have the idea that the two most important women in my life have been accepted by our father and son.

Although Huo Zhenbang lost Aunt Ren because of his romantic nature and does not deserve sympathy, I still feel that he is quite miserable now.

So because I didn’t want the shoe repairman to place a bug, and I didn’t want Huo Zhenbang’s condition to get worse after hearing the latest developments here, I didn’t let my dad have a chance to see the shoe repairman, even though he was very fond of criticizing Chinese football. The topics have a common language, so I won’t stop you from scolding them together.

"Xiao Lin, if your grandpa had watched less men's football games, he might still be alive now."

That’s better than the father of the shoe repairman. I remember that the father of the shoe repairman immediately suffered a myocardial infarction after watching a World Cup budget match of the national football team. Even if the shoe repairman is different from the Chinese man It's not an exaggeration to think that it's enough to kill your father.

Speaking of myocardial infarction, my heart is not very healthy now. Fortunately, I don’t drink alcohol, smoke, take drugs, and watch Chinese football, so I won’t suffer the same fate as the shoe repairman’s late father.

I recall that before my grandfather died, he grabbed my father's hand and made two last wishes. One was that he would remarry as soon as possible, and the other was that one day the men's football team could reach the top 16 of the World Cup. Burn the video to him.

Grandpa, my grandson can now proudly inform you: There are quite a few clues about dad’s remarriage. We are buying vegetables now just to make dinner for dad’s marriage partner.

As for the Chinese men's football team reaching the top 16 of the World Cup...Grandpa, why don't I tell you more about dad's remarriage? Aunt Ren is different from Ai Shuqiao. Although she has a bit of a bad temper, she is definitely a What a good person...

After my father and I went upstairs with our vegetable bags, it was Xiaoqin who opened the door for us.

"Uncle Ye, you...you're back." Xiaoqin was not used to changing her address from honorifics to others. When she saw me behind her father, her eyes lit up.

I felt that Xiaoqin's subconscious mind seemed to want to throw herself into my arms and hold me together, but she tried her best to control her impulse and finally just said:

"Classmate Ye Lin finally came to our house again..."

Suddenly I realized that I haven't been to Xiaoqin's house for a long time. Ever since I almost knocked it down, I seemed to have never been there again.

"Don't worry, there will be more in the future." I said.

Not only will the frequency of visits increase in the future, but we might live together as adopted brothers and sisters in the future. Maybe we will legally live together soon, do you know?

When my father and I were carrying the dishes to the kitchen, Aunt Ren came out of the room.

"I heard that you have been under observation by the doctor for a long time." Aunt Ren looked at me and said, "Can you lift the vegetables? If you can't, just go to the sofa to rest with Xiaoqin and let your dad prepare dinner alone. .”

"Don't worry, Aunt Ren, I'm in good health." I bent one arm to show Aunt Ren my bulging biceps to show that I was in excellent condition.

In addition, I have directly removed the honorific title for Aunt Ren. If it is very likely that we will live in the same house in the future, then what are you doing here and there?

In order to prevent my father from being alone, of course I cooked dinner with him (Xiao Qin wanted to help but Aunt Ren refused).

As a result we failed.

I had already known about it, so I ate the noodles. I hurriedly challenged myself to stir-fry three shredded shrimps and green vegetables, but in the end I cooked it in a nondescript manner, and Aunt Ren complained about it for a while at the dinner table.

"Your cooking skills are only at this level. This is what you usually eat."

However, even though he was blaming verbally, the tone of his voice contained a hidden meaning: "Your cooking is so terrible, there should be someone to help you cook."

"The cooking made by classmate Ye Lin and Uncle Ye is already delicious." Xiao Qin said good things to us on the side, and she also tried her best to eat the half-cooked vegetarian stir-fried three shredded noodles.

"Don't eat that." I regretfully picked up a chopstick from the bean stew. "This dish is not bad, at least it's cooked. You can eat some of this."

Looking at the beans and meat that I put in the bowl, Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, and then she ate it flattered.

Ah, this kind of scene is so warm, quite like a warm scene of a family having a meal.

Because my father and I were poor cooks, Aunt Ren only had a half-full meal, and finally used the soy products in the refrigerator to eat a full bowl of rice.

"Go and practice your cooking skills."

When Dad got up to wash the dishes, Aunt Ren said as she passed by Dad.

"Hey, will you promise me if I can improve my cooking skills?" Dad asked in a low voice. I knew that the "promise" he meant was a proposal.

"Humph." Aunt Ren said with a nonchalant attitude, "Anyway, I'm busy with work and often don't have time to cook. If you haven't practiced your cooking skills, why are you still waiting for Xiaoqin to cook for you?"

Dad was overjoyed: "Hongli, you agreed..."

Aunt Ren waved her hand: "I didn't agree to anything. I just said that if you practice your cooking skills well, I don't rule out the possibility that I will ask you to cook more meals. Sometimes I am too busy with work to come back, so I can also ask Xiaoqin to go to your house. Let’s have dinner, your home is closer to No. 28 Middle School anyway.”

Xiaoqin also wanted to clean up the dishes, but I stopped her. She heard the last half of Aunt Ren's words.

"Hey, mom, why did you let me go to classmate Ye Lin's house for dinner?" Xiao Qin was happy and puzzled, "When we were neighbors before, I never had dinner at Uncle Ye's house, but now I suddenly do it so much Excuse me……"

His eyes were lowered and his toes were hooked inward. In fact, he felt very happy.

"Tch, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Aunt Ren said disdainfully, "You can just go, I paid for the meal anyway."

Then he looked at my dad with a stern look and asked, "Tell me, have I paid for the meal?"

Dad nodded hurriedly: "I paid it, I paid it. Those meal expenses are enough for Xiaoqin to come to my house and eat for a lifetime."

Xiaoqin's little face turned red all of a sudden, and she looked up at my dad and her mother in disbelief.

"You, you agree, do you agree that classmate Ye Lin and I will be together?"

Dad and Aunt Ren were immediately speechless, because what they were discussing was not about you and us being together, but about them being together.

Xiaoqin's joy only lasted a few seconds. She quickly lowered her head and murmured: "But I am no longer..."

Holding back the tears, he quietly walked into his bedroom, not knowing what to do.

"What's wrong with Xiaoqin?" Dad scratched his head and asked, "Is the food I cooked so bad? Did Xiaoqin feel bad when she heard that she was coming to my place for dinner?"

Since Dad and Aunt Ren never knew that I once promoted Xiaoqin to my girlfriend, they naturally wouldn't know that now I have demoted Xiaoqin back to my childhood sweetheart.

Even without Aunt Ren's burning gaze, I still felt it was my responsibility to comfort Xiao Qin.

So dad was left alone to wash the dishes (Aunt Ren was watching), and I knocked softly on Xiaoqin's bedroom door.

"Xiao Qin, can I come in?"

"Yeah." Xiaoqin's voice was slightly hoarse.

I gently opened the door and found that Xiaoqin's bedroom was still the same as my previous impression: various fairy tale-style furniture, star stickers all over the wall, a photo of me on the dressing table, and floating on the ceiling, which had shrunk. The smaller balloon was bought for Xiaoqin when I was watching a movie with her.

Xiaoqin was wearing a pullover and pencil pants, lying on the bed with her back to me. The reason she wasn't wearing a skirt was probably because her period was coming and she was worried about getting cold.

I closed the door and walked over cautiously, and finally found Xiaoqin lying on her stomach reading comics.

Not surprisingly, it was another girl's comic, so I frowned a little.

"Xiao Qin, why are you looking again..." My words stopped as soon as I left my mouth, because I found that Xiao Qin's face was covered with tears when she raised her face from behind the cartoon.

"I, I was just too moved by reading the comics." Xiaoqin tried her best to explain to me while wiping her tears, "It has nothing to do with classmate Ye Lin demoting me to a childhood sweetheart."

"Now this childhood sweetheart can still go to classmate Ye Lin's house for dinner. It's precisely because she is a childhood sweetheart that she has such a right." Xiaoqin tried to force herself to smile, but more and more tears flowed, "Anyway, I'm not doing this because I'm sad. Those who are crying must be tears of joy, classmate Ye Lin, don’t think too much about it.”
