Yang Fan tried to hold back his laughter, and after a moment, the smile faded away. He then said, "I don't think it's necessary to be so deliberate."
"Deliberately? I don't think so."
Qin Yanzheng said this in a low voice, and then he continued to busy himself with his own affairs.
……
The moonlight was cold, Qin Yanzheng hugged Song Lan and lay on the bed. He said, "Wife, I have something to tell you."
"what?"
Song Lan looked up at the other person, her heart full of curiosity.
"Just this morning at work..."
Qin Yanzheng told him what happened shortly after he got to work that morning, namely Pan Yulian's intention to break into his office with a thermos bucket.
Finally, he gently lifted Song Lan's chin, and the two looked into each other's eyes, and said very seriously:
"I can swear on my faith that I have never done anything to let you down, and I have never even had such a shameful thought."
"It happened not long after I got to work this morning. Why didn't I hear you mention it at lunch?"
Song Lan did not respond, but asked back.
"I guess I forgot."
Qin Yanzheng responded.
"In other words, you suddenly remembered it now?"
Song Lan raised her eyebrows.
"You can put it this way! Wife, you have to believe me, in my heart no one can compare to you!"
Qin Yanzheng was afraid of being misunderstood by the person in his arms.
Song Lan laughed out loud: "I have never doubted anything, you don't have to tell me everything.
Besides, I remember I once told you that trust is the most important thing between husband and wife. In other words, they should not doubt each other.
So, you don’t have to be too cautious in front of me in the future.”
Hearing this, Qin Yanzheng felt uncomfortable: "I'm not being cautious. I just don't want you to hear something from others and affect your mood."
"Well, although you are quite attractive to men, this also proves that I have good taste and that you are extremely charming. I am very happy about it!"
Hearing Song Lan say this, Qin Yanzheng's face turned red: "What do you mean by unparalleled charm? You're praising me too much.
Besides, I don’t want the peach blossom you mentioned, let alone some rotten peach blossom. Anyway, you are the only one for me forever!"
He placed the delicate hand of the girl in his arms on his chest, his eyes were tender and his voice was gentle: "Wife, I am shy, you can't tease me all the time!"
"I'm not kidding, I really think so!"
Song Lan smiled: "You are indeed very charming. I don't want to look away from you for a moment!"
"Wife, why did you say what I wanted to say to you?"
Qin Yanzheng raised the corners of his lips, his black eyes full of smiles and doting.
"is it?"
Song Lan also raised the corners of his lips.
The two looked at each other, and the next moment, they hugged each other tightly, laughing at the same time.
-
As we bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, 77 years have arrived as scheduled.
This year, Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng spent the Spring Festival in Beijing with their two children, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, and Qin Yaxin.
Li Jumei and Song Sanhe stayed in the village to celebrate the New Year.
Because Grandma Song suddenly became seriously ill before the New Year, even though she was no longer in danger after Song Lan's personal rescue, Song Sanhe and Li Jumei were worried and did not choose to go to Beijing to spend the Spring Festival with Grandpa and Chen.
It should be said that when winter came, Chen Changqing came personally to pick up Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen.
The reason was simple. It was too cold in the countryside. In order to prevent the old man and the old lady from getting cold, Chen Changqing and Chen Changzheng made a decision. They informed Song Sanhe and Chen Changzheng took the two elders back to Beijing.
After all, the compound has heating, so the elderly will live more comfortably.
Today is the first day of the new year. Like in previous years, Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng went to pay New Year's greetings to Song Weiqiang and his wife. They still did not stay for lunch. They put down the gifts, stayed for a while, and then returned to the Qin family.
But what they didn't expect was that when they walked into the living room, they saw that Qin's father didn't look very good.
"Dad, what are you..."
Qin Yanzheng sat on the sofa opposite Qin's father, his eyes full of concern.
Song Lan didn't stay in the living room for long. Seeing Xiaowu and Xiaoliu playing with Dabao and Erbao, she went straight to the kitchen to help Qin Yaxin make lunch.
"Second sister, what happened to Dad?"
"I'm not sure."
Qin Yaxin shook her head and said, "About five or six minutes before you and your elder brother came in, I was in the living room and saw Dad receive a call.
But my dad seemed to know who the other party was. His face turned ugly almost instantly, and he said directly to the microphone in a very cold tone, "I said I don't have a father," and then hung up the phone. "
Song Lan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Have you ever heard your parents mention grandparents before?"
"My parents rarely mentioned it at home. I only knew that my grandparents passed away very early."
Qin Yaxin replied. She suddenly thought of something and stopped what she was doing and asked Song Lan:
"Sister-in-law, do you think that grandpa is not dead, and what dad said into the microphone was actually spoken to grandpa on the other end of the phone?"
"Nine times out of ten."
Song Lan said softly, "There must be some story between my grandparents. That's why my dad rarely mentions them at home. To be more precise, my dad doesn't want to mention my grandfather."
"I know. Grandfather must have done something to offend Grandmother. Because of this, Dad doesn't want to mention Grandfather in front of me and my eldest brother. He only says that he and Grandfather died early."
Qin Yaxin racked her brain, and a bright light suddenly flashed through her mind. She continued: "Sister-in-law, could it be that my grandfather has another family, so..."
"Don't guess, just cook."
Song Lan actually felt that Qin Yaxin's guess was almost right.
The only thing that can make a son disown his father is that the other party has done something wrong to his wife and children.
Although there are many things that he has done to let his wife and children down, Song Lan is more inclined to the emotional aspect.
For example, a man betrays his wife and children and starts a family with another woman outside.
The more Song Lan thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Otherwise, why had she never heard much about the stories of the two old people in this family?
"I'm not just guessing."
Qin Yaxin whispered: "If Grandfather hadn't done something to offend Grandmother, Dad wouldn't have mentioned him at home, let alone said such a thing into the microphone today."
Song Lan looked helpless: "If Dad wanted us to know, he would definitely find time to talk to us. There's no need for us to think too much about it now."
in the living room.
"Your grandmother's family ran a shop. She was the only child of her parents. Your grandfather was a poor boy who came to Beijing to escape famine. One winter evening, he fainted from hunger outside your grandmother's shop...
Thinking that saving a life would be a good deed to bring blessings to his only daughter, your grandmother's father, my grandfather, arranged for the clerks to carry your grandfather into the yard behind the shop.
A doctor was called in to see the patient, and when the patient woke up, he was given a hot meal.
Upon learning that your grandfather had fled to Beijing to escape famine and had no relatives, my grandfather, out of kindness, took your grandfather in as a servant.
Your grandfather worked hard and was not afraid of hardship or fatigue. After two or three years of observation, my grandfather thought that your grandfather was a good young man and wanted to find a son-in-law for your grandmother..."
