Chapter 1216： Abnormal

Chapter 1216 Abnormality

“Yes, yes, you are just babies, what can you do wrong?”

Jiang Li smiled helplessly, and she turned her gaze back to Song Xuan: "If you compare with each other, there will be no time to worry."

Song Xuan's eyebrows were filled with smiles: "Tuanzi and the others are very well-behaved, just like Ruirui and the others when they were young. They are cute and smart, and they make people like them just by looking at them."

"Don't praise them, otherwise, their tails will be raised to the sky."

She said she was disgusted, but Jiang Li's fair and beautiful face was full of smiles, and the doting in her beautiful eyes was undisguised.

"well!"

Guoguo sighed like a little adult, and then raised her little voice: "Mom, what do you want your little baby to say? You obviously like me, dumplings, and glutinous rice balls, but you want to be duplicitous. You are like this Aren’t you tired?”

Hearing Guoguo's words, Song Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Auntie, they are so fun!"

"you are wrong."

Jiang Li shook his head helplessly: "They are not having fun, they have the little devil gene, and they know how to make trouble for me."

At this time, Tuanzi showed a cold demeanor. He folded his arms and made a "hum" sound, saying in a milky voice: "Mom, you are bullying me. Tangyuan, me, and Guoguo were all born to you and your father. Why did you do it yourself?" With the little devil gene?”

Tangyuan smiled and answered: "I know, I know, because mom and dad are big demons, they gave birth to us three little demons. Guoguo, do you think I am right?"

“You can be the little devil if you want, I’m the little princess, my mom and dad’s little baby!”

Guoguo said in a milky voice, and the next moment, she showed a smile and ran to Jiang Li with her short legs. She raised her little head and said, "Mom, mom, do you think I am the child of you and your father?" Baby?"

Rouching the top of the cute little girl’s hair, Jiang Li smiled and nodded: “Of course you are your parents’ little baby!”

“Guoguo, are you trying to overturn the boat of friendship between us? Or is it just a plastic brother-sister relationship between you and me?”

Tangyuan deliberately acted like he was shocked and looked at his sister Guoguo with resentment in his eyes.

“Auntie, they are...”

Song Xuan was astonished. He didn't expect the three dumplings to know a lot about such small people.

“Don’t be surprised, they all learned it from their elder brothers and sisters.”

From 1980 to 1981 and 1982, the three Mingrui brothers and little Ron spent their summer vacations abroad. Therefore, the three dumplings particularly liked their older siblings and liked to imitate their words.

 And the three are highly intelligent. You will remember them after hearing them once. In this way, you should not be too quick to imitate the words of your brothers and sisters and do some small movements.

“It seems that I learned more from Hanhan and Weiwei.”

Mingrui is steady and reserved, and doesn’t talk much.

Ron is a bit shy and has a quiet temperament.

 Minghan and Mingwei, one is outgoing and likes to play tricks, the other is lively, cute and sharp-tongued.

As for the three dumplings, he only met them twice. It is not difficult to see that the three are deliberately imitating their second brother Minghan and third sister Mingwei.

"Um."

Jiang Li smiled and nodded.

…

At about 3:30 in the afternoon, Song Xuan left the Jiang Manor by car.

“After returning to China, would you like to move into our old house?”

In the living room, Jiang Boya sat opposite Jiang Li and put forward his suggestions.

“It’s okay to stay there for a few days occasionally, but are you sure you’re not embarrassing me by asking our family to move there?”

Jiang Li's pretty eyebrows were raised slightly. Seeing Jiang Boya shaking her head, she couldn't help but say: "It's good for us to live in the compound. Besides, Luo Yanqing told me in his letter that Comrade Liu Jiacheng had contacted him and said that the country would soon In the past two years, several restaurants owned by the Yu family have been returned to me.

At the same time, I need to return to me the six-entry old house that my grandmother lent to the state enterprise and the several two- and three-entry courtyards used as housing for factory workers. If I want to live in such a big house, there is really no shortage of places to live.

In addition, in the past two years, I asked my elder brother to help me buy several small courtyards in Beicheng. To be honest, I can choose any house I can live in. "

The year before last, relevant domestic departments learned that Jiang Boya wanted to support the construction of the motherland. It not only set up factories and companies in China, but also made large investments in state-owned enterprises that it was optimistic about.

Needless to say, this made the relevant departments very happy and excited. So after some discussions and requests for instructions, the Jiang family's old house, which had been donated to the country by the old lady many years ago, and other properties of the Jiang family were returned to Jiang Boya. This is in recognition of Jiang Boya's support for national construction.

At the beginning of March last year, the Jiang family’s seven-in-one quadrangle was finally handed over to Jiang Boya, who then arranged for people to go to China to carry out large-scale renovations on the old house.

Throw away what needs to be thrown away, replace what needs to be replaced... All the flowers and plants that need to be planted have been planted in place. Until the end of October last year, the entire Jiang family's old house had a completely new look, just waiting for the owner to come back and move in.

Now Jiang Hongfa plans to return to China to live in the country for a long time. After all, returning fallen leaves to their roots is an obsession in the bones of Chinese people, and it is also a sentiment of nostalgia for the homeland that is difficult to let go!

As for Jiang Boya, he has domestic and foreign industries to take care of, so he naturally has to live a "flying man" life. However, the old father, daughter, and grandchildren are in China and will probably stay in China for a longer time in the future.

“Dad just wants to see you moms every day.”

Jiang Boya said pitifully: "Don't you want to see dad every day?"

“You have to be busy with work, not only flying around the country, but also flying abroad from time to time. Faced with this reality, even if I take the children to live in the old house, how much time can you really see me?”

Jiang Li said, shaking his head with a funny look on his face: "Okay, you're not a child like Tuanzi and the others, so don't show such a pitiful expression, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back my mouth. Damn your image as a grandfather in front of Tuanzi."

“Li Li, you are not cute at all!”

Jiang Boya resented, and he said with helplessness: "But since you said that, dad doesn't force you to move into the old house, but dad has reserved the courtyard for you and the children, so you can go there from time to time. some days.”

"good."

Jiang Li nodded.

"You have to do what you say, otherwise, your grandfather and I will be so lonely! Especially your grandfather, he will live in the old house for retirement in the future. If I am not at home, your grandfather will be left alone, you and the children If you don't go there often, your grandfather will be sad and shed tears."

Jiang Hongfa was not in the living room at this moment, otherwise, after listening to Jiang Boya's words, he would have beaten the unfilial son with a cane.

It is okay to be sad, but by wiping tears, who are you burying?

"By the way, how big is the house you live in in the compound you mentioned? If the place is too small, where will Tuanzi and the others live?"

Jiang Boya calmed this down, his eyes full of worry.

Hearing this, Jiang Li said with a smile: "It's not very big, but there are several rooms. I told my parents half a year ago to change the bed in Weiwei's room into a bunk bed..."

Before Jiang Li could say anything else, he was interrupted by Jiang Boya: "Do you want Guoguo to sleep on the canopy bed? No, it's not safe, and I don't agree."

"Guoguo sleeps on the lower bunk with Tuanzi and Tangyuan. I have a drawing of a canopy bed and sent it back in the letter. The upper bunk is not very high and is very safe. Let's do this. When we return to China, I will take you to see it. ,how?"

Jiang Boya did not answer, but said: "It's not like our family has no place to live, so why do we have to torture our children?"

“Why have I wronged my children? When I return to China, I have to report to Shuimu University. By then, Tuanzi and the others will live with me in the two-story building of the school.

Only when I go back to the compound on Saturdays, I will stay in bunk beds with their brothers and sisters. Besides, I have asked people to see if there is a larger courtyard house for sale near Shuimu University. If there is one, I will buy it so that our whole family can live in it. "

Hearing this, Jiang Boya suddenly thought of something. He just heard him say: "No need to buy it. Our family has a three-bedroom courtyard house near Shuimu University. I originally thought of renting it out after a little renovation, but now it seems that it doesn't have to be so troublesome." ”

The house may become damaged if no one lives in it for a long time. For example, the yard will be overgrown with weeds, the furniture may be infested with moths, etc.

Thinking about this, Jiang Boya added: "Since we want to live in it for you and the children, we can't simply repair it. This is fine. Later, my father will have people clean it up and replace it with new furniture. You can bring it back." Let the children live in it.”

Jiang Li was helpless, knowing that she could not continue to refuse her father's kindness. She curved her lips and nodded: "Okay, I will listen to dad."

But it is still necessary to go back to live in the compound on weekends.

Jiang Boya was satisfied and said with a smile: "This is daddy's good daughter."

Jiang Li blushed: "Did you forget? I have already grown up."

How old is she? Can this cheap father stop praising her in the same tone as a child? I feel so ashamed!

“What, are you embarrassed?”

Jiang Boya looked at Jiang Li with a smile.

“I know you still say it?!”

Jiang Li stared.

Seeing this, Jiang Boya laughed out loud.

“If you laugh again, I won’t talk to you anymore.”

Jiang Li stood up.

“Okay, okay, daddy stopped laughing.”

Raising his hand to stop Jiang Li from leaving, Jiang Boya showed a look of sadness and said, "I couldn't watch you being born and grow up with you. This is my father's lifelong regret.

We met before and you were always well-behaved and sensible. To be honest, Dad felt very pleased, but at the same time he was also very disappointed and felt that he was useless and couldn't do anything for you. Do you know why? "

Without waiting for Jiang Li to say anything, Jiang Boya gave his own answer: "Because you are too good. No matter what aspect, you don't need dad's help. Invisibly, there seems to be something between us. But today That barrier is gone!”

The corners of his eyes were moist, but Jiang Boya's face was full of smiles: "Dad is very happy now." "You are thinking too much."

Jiang Li said: "Although my grandfather brought me here in the first place, in my heart, it is because of my grandmother's entrustment that I stay by your side, chatting with you every day, telling you stories, and reading to you. , but you are my biological father after all. It is impossible for me not to be touched at all after seeing you.

Not to mention that you helped me handle all the procedures for enrolling in a well-known university here, and you also took care of my food, clothing, housing and transportation here...

Dad, I can’t say that you are the most competent and best father in the world, but I recognize you from the bottom of my heart that you are my father... In addition, judging from our interactions in recent years, in my case, "

Pointing to his heart, Jiang Li smiled slightly: "You are still a qualified father."

Jiang Boya was not unhappy at all. He said, "It seems that Dad needs to continue working hard to become a good father in your heart."

Yes, he is not a competent father, not a good father. Although there is such a reason, he "abandoned" the woman who was pregnant with his child and has been living abroad for many years.

“I didn’t say you weren’t a good father.”

Jiang Li smiled and shook his head.

“Dad knows what you mean.”

He has not seen each other for more than twenty years, and he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. This is where he is incompetent, and he cannot be regarded as a good father in the hearts of his children.

Jiang Boya's heart was like a mirror. In fact, the moment he woke up, he had already decided to spend the rest of his life making up for his debt to his daughter.

“Okay, okay, let’s not talk about the past.”

Jiang Li waved his hand and stood up: "I will go back to the room and pack my luggage so that I don't leave anything behind when I leave."

“Go.”

Jiang Boya nodded, with gentle eyes, watching Jiang Li go up to the second floor.

…

Domestic.

Compound.

It is quiet in the dead of night.

“How about giving Li Bao a call?”

Cai Xiufen tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she simply put on her cotton-padded jacket and sat on the bed. She looked at Captain Jiang with a sad face and said, "I felt that Ruirui and the others were hiding something from the family years ago.

But I asked separately, and everyone shook their head at me. Now Weiwei suddenly said that her mother was still alive, and said that she wanted to live with her mother...

We can't stop it now. Yan Qing is busy with work and just said to us, "Don't worry about it." What will happen when Li Bao comes back and finds out? "

With a long sigh, Captain Jiang also sat up, picked up his cotton jacket and put it on his body. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Li Bao will be home in two or three days. If you call me now, won't you make her anxious?" !

Once we rush back in a hurry, if something happens, it will be too late for us to regret it. What's more, Li Bao is returning to China with his three children. If there is an accident, no matter what will happen to us, my son-in-law will be the first to be unable to bear it! "

Hearing this, Cai Xiufen was silent for a long time, and said a little unhappy: "It's true that Yan Qing, how could he hide such a big thing from us?!

Ruirui and his mother were obviously not dead, but when we heard it, it turned out that she died during childbirth when giving birth to Hanhan and Weiwei. Now the wife in front of him suddenly appeared. Although the two are no longer husband and wife, this matter can be put aside How uncomfortable it is to be in front of Li Bao! "

Captain Jiang frowned and remained silent.

Thinking of what Luo Yanqing said on the phone on New Year's Eve, Cai Xiufen's face became even more unhappy: "And why doesn't Yan Qing tell us in detail?"

“Don’t be unreasonable.”

Captain Jiang looked at Cai Xiufen and said, "My son-in-law is too busy to take a vacation during the Chinese New Year. Why don't you call and question Ruirui and his mother?"

This is affecting other people’s work. At worst, you are holding back the country. Besides, my son-in-law told us on the phone that things were a bit complicated at the beginning.

I couldn’t explain it clearly over the phone for a while, so let us believe him and wait until he comes home from vacation to talk to us in detail. "

“But Weiwei is going to move in with her biological mother tomorrow, is it possible that we have to watch the child go?”

When Cai Xiufen said this, her brows turned into knots. She said with a little emotion: "I don't want to think of Weiwei's child as a white-eyed wolf.

But no matter what I say, she won't listen. Even if I move Li Bao out, she still insists on living with her biological mother. If Ruirui and Hanhan follow suit, isn't our Li Bao helping others these years? You raised a child in vain! "

“No, Rui Rui is a thoughtful person. Hanhan has always followed Rui Rui as a role model. If they want to move in with their biological mother, they won’t lose their temper at Weiwei.”

Captain Jiang always felt that Mingwei was moving to live with her mother, and there was probably something hidden in this, but Captain Jiang thought about it and couldn't figure out the reason.

Study.

Minghan saw from the gap under the door that there was no light in the room where Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen lived. Thinking that the two of them had fallen asleep, he gently pushed open Mingwei's door and pulled Mingwei out of bed. He pulled her up and threatened Mingwei with his eyes to shut up and follow him.

At this moment, Ming Wei stood in front of her brothers Mingrui and Minghan and asked angrily: "What do you want to do if you don't sleep at night?"

“Are you still thinking about sleeping?”

Minghan gritted his teeth and said, "Mom will be back in the next two days, but you are going to be a white-eyed wolf and move in with that woman. Luo Mingwei, what exactly do you think?"

"Don't talk about that woman. She is our mother, our biological mother. As for the mother you are talking about, she is just our stepmother. Since our biological mother is not dead, what's wrong with me moving in with her?"

Mingwei raised her chin and said as if she was right: "Our mother also went to study abroad. Her current husband runs a big company, and the family is very rich. When I went to their house, I could eat every day. I am well-dressed and have a lot of pocket money. I feel happy just thinking about living in such a home.”

"In our family, your parents didn't give you food, clothing or clothes? Didn't they give you pocket money? In the summer vacation for three consecutive years, my mother took us to live with her. Every time we came back, she didn't buy you a lot of good things. ?

Excluding these, since mother came to our house, what has she done to us? Every time the season changes, we have new clothes to wear, and we cook in different ways every day.

Take us to the park on weekends, and teach us painting, erhu, and piano during holidays...When we were young, we bathed us with our own hands and told us bedtime stories...Have you forgotten all of this? "

Minghan's eyes were red. The more he talked, the more his eyes became sore. He felt that his sister Mingwei was disgusting, and he wanted to slap his sister twice to wake up this careless sister.

But he still endured it because his mother said that boys should not attack girls casually, especially older sisters at home.

“That’s because she wants to, and I’m not asking her to be nice to me!”

Mingwei's expression remained unchanged: "Besides, our biological mother said that our stepmother is just trying to please us and please our father. She definitely doesn't really love us. Now she has her own child. If you don't believe it, you just wait and wait for her. Come back with those three little things and see if I will continue to like you!"

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

Minghan lowered her voice and gritted her teeth and said, "Luo Mingwei, you disappoint me so much! That woman is talking nonsense, and you believe every word of it. You are so arrogant!"

Ming Wei lowered her head and did not look at her brother Minghan again.

"Weiwei...tell me what you are thinking? My brother doesn't believe that you went to live with that woman voluntarily...tell me the truth, okay?"

Mingrui is already a high school student. He is a tall boy with a handsome appearance and a calm and restrained look. He looked at his sister Mingwei with good eyesight: "Brother, I believe you are not a white-eyed wolf. If you believe me, tell me Brother tell the truth."

The girl is slender. Although she is only thirteen years old, she is close to 160cm tall and looks slim.

Sleek long hair is scattered on the back of her head. Even with her eyelids drooping, it is not difficult to tell that she is a very beautiful girl.

“I am telling the truth.”

Hands hanging by her sides were clenched into fists, as if the girl was trying her best to hold back something.

Looking at her clenched fist, Mingrui knew that he had guessed correctly, but he couldn't pry his sister's mouth open and felt a little powerless for a moment.

“Weiwei!”

He emphasized his tone: "Do you want to see mom sad? You don't know how much mom has put into us, and what did that woman do to us?"

Speaking of this, Mingrui paused for a moment, and then continued: "I already have some memories of the time when you and my second brother were born. What I knew at that time was that she died in childbirth when you were born.

Then my father hired nannies to take care of our three brothers and sisters, but none of the nannies who came to our house were good. They stole our food and refused to give us enough to eat.

I often make you and your second brother hungry and cry... It was because Mom married Dad that we lived a good life, making all the children in the compound envious of us.

Think about it carefully, what life has been like for Wen Yue and her sisters since they were young, and then think about what life has been like for us all these years.

Let me tell you this, I actually hate the mother you talk about. She didn’t give birth to a child and didn’t deserve to be a mother! If you insist on going your own way and really want to move in with that woman tomorrow, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my sister. "

Mingrui deliberately frightened his sister Mingwei, hoping that she would tell him the truth.

Minghan: "I stand with my eldest brother. If you dare to move away, I will no longer recognize you as my sister."

“If you don’t recognize me, you won’t recognize me. Do you think I want to recognize you?”

Pushing back the tears in her eyes, Mingwei suddenly raised her head and looked at Mingrui and Minghan: "It's best to remember what you said to me now, stay in this home, guard your father and your good stepmother, and don't allow No matter how hard you go, you can **** our mother from me!"

With these words, Mingwei opened the study door and ran back to her own room.

"elder brother…"

Minghan's eyes were full of worry: "What should we do? Weiwei is determined to get involved with that woman. Do we really want to watch her leave?"

“You watch Weiwei at home, I’ll go see that woman tomorrow morning.”

Having made a decision, Mingrui walked towards the door of the study: "Go back to the room and rest. Don't stand there."

Minghan said "Oh" and followed his brother Mingrui.

Mingwei went back to her room, lay down on the bed, covered her head with the quilt, and let out an extremely suppressed cry.

Then catch the insects. . .
