good old days

The school sports meeting lasted for three days, and the last day happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This semester the school held a sports meeting, but there was no Mid-Autumn Festival party. That day, Chen Jinhua agreed to go to Chen Qihua's house for dinner. As soon as the sports meeting was over, the two went home to pick up the gifts they had prepared.

As soon as they entered the main room, the two of them were stunned.

"Mom, this TV...?"

Wang Sumei said: "Chen Yi's father asked someone to come over and install it today. When I came back at noon, he was waiting at the door and saw that it was fourteen inches. The ones in Shitou Hutong almost all have twelve inches."

Regardless of whether it is twelve inches or fourteen inches, it looks like a small square box, and it is still black and white when opened, but it is a rare thing nowadays. It is better in cities, but it is not easy for a village in the countryside to have one.

A TV was not cheap, so Chen Jinhua sent it directly to him and installed it, obviously he had no intention of letting them refuse.

Wang Sumei came into the room and brought out two bottles of liquor, "I exchanged the wine tickets with the cook at the restaurant opposite, and bought two big black fish and moon cakes on the street. You can bring them over today. Don't take the children with you, tonight. It’s cold and it’s not convenient to go back and forth. We have a rest tomorrow and you can go to the hospital again.”

There are a lot more types of things sold on the streets. Without tickets, you can buy good-looking things by spending a little more money. It is actually much more convenient than before.

Chen Qihua's family was assigned a three-bedroom house. Most of the children had married, and the unit was assigned a room, which was quite spacious. During this Mid-Autumn Festival, the family was particularly lively.

When the two of them arrived, everyone in the other rooms of the Chen family was not there, nor were Chen Jiajia and Feng Man. Compared to the Chinese New Year, there were really not many people there today.

Chen Jinhua was sitting on a wooden chair to relax. When he saw the two people coming, he straightened up, cheered up and nodded to them.

The fatigue on his body can be felt at a glance. His eyes are slightly swollen, there are a few new strands of white hair on his temples, his energy is listless, and he has lost a lot of weight.

After giving the things to the eldest aunt and asking after them, Chen Yi stepped forward and asked, "How is your health?"

Chen Jinhua nodded, "It doesn't matter."

He just went to Xinnan Courtyard yesterday to see what Wang Sumei's house was like now, and then he discovered that the building behind her yard was Song Minghan's grandfather's yard.

There was a lot of commotion that night, and Wang Sumei's family was probably aware of it.

Chen Qihua's lover Xu Donghong put the washed apples and pears on the table and said, "You just think too much. If you don't have a good rest, how can you be in good spirits?"

Xu Donghong sat next to Jiang Xinyu and introduced her eldest son's family to the two of them, and said regretfully: "You have met the second son's family during the Chinese New Year, but unfortunately they were transferred out of town this year. It will not be easy to come back in the future."

After chatting for a while, Xu Donghong patted Chen Yi on the shoulder and said, "Your dad is not in good health right now. I'll go see him more when I have time."

...

After the meal, Chen Jinhua wanted to drive the two of them back and talk about something on the way.

Chen Yidao: "I'll drive."

If you're not in a good mood, you can't concentrate while driving.

Chen Jinhua got into the passenger seat and Jiang Xinyu sat in the back alone.

When Jiang Xinyu fell asleep, Chen Jinhua said, "You should all know about Jiajia, right?"

Chen Yi nodded slightly, "I heard part of it, but I don't know the whole story." "Xiao Jiang, you said Song Minghan's father came to propose marriage, can I accept it?"

Jiang Xinyu didn't know why she asked her about this kind of thing. Even if she said it, she couldn't be Chen Jiajia's boss.

Chen Jinhua turned around and sighed slightly: "After all, you can be considered Jiajia's brother-in-law. She is young and ignorant and has taken the wrong path. She doesn't listen to us. I really can't do anything to her. If it were you, this matter What will you do?"

The operation had been performed, but she was still thinking about Song Minghan. She was obviously weak, but she knelt down to beg him, and threatened him with not eating to get him to agree. He couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and she was even more afraid that she would regret it in the future.

Jiang Xinyu didn't want to have anything to do with Chen Jiajia, that girl didn't have a very good mind.

She said: "Actually, I should be a little older than Chen Jiajia. She is no longer a child and knows what she is doing. Emotional matters cannot be forced and cannot be broken. You should have tried it."

Chen Jinhua nodded. He had indeed tried it. The only gain was that the operation went smoothly, and nothing else seemed to have changed.

He will be wavering now, firstly because his daughter wants to live or die, and secondly because Feng Man has been trying to persuade her. He has taken some words into his heart. No matter who Chen Jiajia marries in the future, what man will not care about her past? He even began to suspect that Song Minghan might be sincere.

His concerns about the Song family prevented him from making up his mind. If he agrees, the premise is that Song Minghan can only choose to be kind to his daughter in the future, then the Song family...

Jiang Xinyu continued: "I'm not nice to say. Many girls are desperate for love and never look back. The more others stop them, the more they want to cross over. Only through your own experience can you know what the scenery is like and whether it is good or not. As a result, no one knew at first, so maybe your worries now are unnecessary.”

Chen Jiajia always has someone to take care of everything she does. It is difficult to live a hard life in life. As for spiritually, who knows that everything will not be smooth sailing in the future?

When Chen Jiajia went to the countryside to make movies with the film studio, Song Minghan often went there to show his courtesy. It was hard to say that he didn't really like Chen Jiajia.

It is not unusual for young people to do impulsive things that cross the line.

Even if she hit her head and was bleeding, it was her own choice. Jiang Xinyu didn't think that Chen Jiajia was heartless. She was so heartless that she used tricks to prevent her sister from going to film school. Would she be a blind person because of love?

Chen Jinhua pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly and said, "Should we have a day off tomorrow? Come with me to have tea with some old comrades and get to know a few young people."

Chen Yi thought about it and said: "Your body still needs to rest now. Thinking less and worrying less is better for your condition. Drinking too much strong tea will make you even more unable to sleep at night."

Chen Jinhua said bluntly: "I am doing it for you."

Chen Yi is not stupid, he already knows that, but recently he really doesn't have time to follow Chen Jinhua's ladder to make connections.

"I'm going abroad in half a month. There are a lot of things at home that I want to clear up first, and I can talk about the rest after I come back."

Chen Jinhua: "Aren't you afraid that I will suddenly disappear one day?"

Chen Yi is not afraid, he is afraid himself.

Jiang Xinyu made a few "poofs" and said, "Don't say such things. I used to see you and thought you were in pretty good health, but recently you looked a little haggard. Relax and cooperate with the doctor's treatment on weekdays. You should do the same as usual. Just do whatever you want, with your body, it won’t be a problem to live for another ten or twenty years.”

Chen Jinhua smiled and said, "Experts brought back from abroad said that my disease is still in the early stages and I can live for a few more years after surgery. Don't worry, I can still survive in the next few years."

There was a smile on the corners of his lips. Compared to before, Chen Yi was much more humane to him now. Although he received mostly sympathy for showing weakness, he was quite satisfied.

Given time, who says he can't call him "Dad"?
