post middle age

Chapter 14
As soon as daughter Keke entered the house and saw Uncle Li Te coming, a bright smile appeared on her little face:
"Hello, Uncle Li Te, can you not forget what you promised me?"

"Don't worry, I won't forget it." Li Te replied with a smile.

Ren Shuxia asked suspiciously: "What's the matter, making you so obsessed."

Daughter Ke Ke glanced at the large and small bags piled up on the sofa, jumped on it, and exclaimed:

"My mother, why are there so many gifts? Are they for me?"

"This, this is for your mother." Li Te quickly replied after reading it.

"Uncle Li Te, you've always been biased. I don't care. I'll punish you for emptying all the gifts in my shopping cart today." Daughter Ke Ke rolled her eyes at her mother and acted coquettishly at Uncle Li Te.

"Ke Ke, didn't your mother just buy you a gift today, why do you want to buy it again?" Ren Shuxia asked puzzled.

"You don't have to worry about it!" the daughter replied domineeringly.

When Ren Shuxia saw that her daughter Keke and Li Te were talking about everything, she felt a burst of warmth in her heart. She looked at their intimate appearance and said nothing again.

The grandfather who came back with him spoke up:
"Coco, don't be naughty with Uncle Li, what shopping cart, what gift do you want, why didn't I see it, what do you want, ask grandpa, grandpa has money." Grandpa took out a few 100 bills from his pocket. Yuan money, handed to granddaughter Ke Ke.

"Grandpa, you don't understand, this is online shopping?" After Ke Ke finished speaking, she took Uncle Li Te's hand, and the two went to the study together. After a while, her daughter's giggles came from the study.

"Our family hasn't been this happy for a long time. It seems that she and Xiao Li are destined for each other?" After finishing speaking, his father Ren Ziyu took a meaningful look at his daughter.

Ren Shuxia also understood the old man's thoughts from what her father said just now. When she didn't know how to answer her father's question, her mother Ding Xiang came back.

It happened that Li Te also came to the living room at this time. When he saw that Aunt Ding had come back, he glanced at her who was out of breath, and quickly helped her take off the vegetable basket, persuading her distressedly:
"Aunt Ding, you are so old, if you go shopping for groceries in the future, tell me in advance, and I will buy it for you during my off-duty time."

"You, you usually sell vegetables for the family, but Keke likes your braised pork ribs the most." Mother Ding Xiang said with a smile.

At this time, Ren Shuxia looked at the intimacy between Li Te and her family. She also knew that he had loved her so much for so many years, so she couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Te.She smiled and said to Li Te:
"Today at noon, I will cook some good dishes for you, and thank you well."

"Okay, Shuxia, it's rare for you to come back, so let's have a good talk with Li Te. Let me and your father do the lunch today." Mom shouted to Ren Ziyu:
"Old man, let's go to the kitchen to cook!"

After hearing this, Ren Ziyu smiled at them knowingly, and followed his mother Ding Xiang into the kitchen.

Daughter Ke Ke was playing computer games in the study room. At this time, Ren Shuxia and Li Te were left in the living room. Ren Shuxia looked up at Li Te and asked:

"What's the secret between you and Coco?"

"This, I can't tell you, I promised Keke." Li Te said firmly.

"I didn't expect that Ke Ke was so obedient and obedient when I was a child, and now I don't bother to talk to me when we are together. I am a mother, and I really suck." Ren Shuxia said with tears in her eyes.

Li Te looked affectionately at her in pain, and persuaded:

"You are usually busy with engineering work outside, and you rarely go home. This is why you and your wife don't have much time to see each other. Secondly, you are too strict with her. In addition to studying, it is grades in your eyes. You are too strong , I don’t know that children’s psychological burden is also very heavy now.”

"Yes, sometimes, I will deeply reflect on my attitude towards my daughter." Ren Shuxia said.

"However, it's okay. You can rest assured that our family is not bad at all. She is also a good child who loves to study and saves face. I believe that after a while, she will gradually get better." Li Te saw Shuxia's full face. With a worried look, he persuaded patiently.

"Hey, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. Since I have chosen the construction of the electrified railway project in the motherland, I have to be responsible for my own responsibilities and burdens. I am just a person. When I think of my parents and daughter in my spare time, I will I deeply feel remorse and guilt." Ren Shuxia sighed and confided helplessly.

"Don't worry, you are dedicated to fighting for your electrified railway cause outside, and I will be your strong backing. I will be there for whatever happens at home." Li Te said, taking out a small notebook from his pocket , handed it to Ren Shuxia, continued to smile and said:

"Look, what is this?"

Ren Shuxia took a look and exclaimed:
"You, why did you pass the exam? I heard it's very difficult."

It turned out that the small book that Li Te handed to Ren Shuxia was a national first-class psychological counselor certificate.

"Sister Shuxia, you underestimate me. After all, I also graduated from Zhengzhou University with a bachelor's degree in education, and I also studied adolescent psychology in school." Li Te said to Ren Shuxia with a smile.

"By the way, I forgot that you are a great talent, the first success of our group company." Ren Shuxia gradually showed a smile on her face at this time.

"Now, leave Coco to me, don't worry!" Li Te said with a smile.

"It's been hard for you these years, Li Te, thank you so much!" Ren Shuxia looked at Li Te affectionately.

"As long as my sister is happy, I will be happy!" Li Te said naughty words at this time.

Mom and Dad cooked a table of delicious dishes, and the family entertained Li Te warmly.During the meal, the two elders watched their daughter and Li Te talking and laughing together. Today, even the granddaughter Ke Ke talked more, and the long-lost laughter resounded through this warm little family again.They were indescribably happy.

After seeing off Li Te, the mother stopped her daughter specially, and whispered:
"This woman, looking for a husband, I think there are only two things. One is to be responsible, and the other is to be diligent. Through observations over the past few years, my mother thinks that Li Te is a really nice child. He is not only responsible, but also diligent. Very diligent."

Ren Shuxia knew what her mother wanted to express, and said with a flushed face:
"You don't have to worry about my business."

"This child is in his 40s now, when will he grow up!" Mom said to herself with a wry smile and glanced at her husband not far away.
