Han Yuan carried his son to the balcony to comfort him.
Every time he saw his son's frightened expression, Han Yuan felt his heart bleed. Gu Yan had never paid attention to her situation, she could get mad at any time, and argue with him every minute, not caring about her son's feelings at all.
At this rate, sooner or later, their son would be ruined by their quarrel.
"Darling, look at the stars in the sky —" Han Yuan said to his son while pointing at the stars in the sky, trying to distract the child from his earlier fear.
Although the economy of Haizhou is not well-developed, it has been preserved here, with clean air and clear sky. Sitting on his balcony, he could see the sky full of stars. This was impossible in many capital cities.
This was also wealth, a precious asset that money could not buy.
"The stars are blinking at you —" Han Yuan said.
"Daddy, did grandpa go to the sky?" Hong looked at the stars and asked suddenly.
Han Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He had not expected his son to have such a question in his head.
He had never discussed the topic of life and death with his son before, so he decided to infiltrate a little bit with his son today! This was a topic that everyone had to face.
"Yes, darling, grandpa has gone up into the sky and become that shining star looking at Hong'er and us." Han Yuan said, "Seeing Hong'er grow up happily and healthy, Grandpa will be so happy that he will blink his eyes."
"Really? Is Grandpa watching us? " he asked incredulously, staring up at the brightest star in the sky.
"Mn, it's true, Grandpa is looking at us." Han Yuan said with certainty, "Grandpa has been watching Hong'er every day, hoping that Hong'er would grow up healthy and happy, and become a man of iron!"
"Dad, will you go to heaven one day?" Han Hong suddenly looked at him and asked.
Han Yuan was stunned for a moment before smiling, "Yes, dad will also go to heaven one day, but dad still has to live for a long time. Dad will have to accompany Hong'er and grow up, watch Hong'er become a handsome young man, Hong'er become a dad too, then watch my grandson slowly grow up —"
"But, I don't want dad to go to the sky, I want dad to carry me, not dad to leave!" He wrapped his arms around his father's neck as if he were about to fly away.
"Silly son, Daddy won't go. Daddy will stay with Ho and grow up with him! "Don't worry!" Han Yuan comforted her.
"Dad, what is a fox spirit?" Han Hong asked again.
Han Yuan was speechless, it was all because of Gu Yan's poison! What fox spirit? Even his son had such a phrase in his head!
"Don't listen to your mother without a fox spirit." Han Yuan said, "A fox is a type of animal, it can't turn into a spirit, and even that spirit was killed by Sun Wukong, right?"
My son likes to watch Journey to the West, which he does every summer. These days, Central TV began broadcasting again. Han Hong watched it every day.
"But why did Mommy say you had a fox spirit?" Han Hong was unrelenting.
"No, Mom was just angry and couldn't take it seriously." Han Yuan explained, "Dad loves Su'er the most and our family the most."
"Then why does Mommy always quarrel with you?"
Han Yuan found it difficult to resist! His son was actually hiding so many questions in his head, one after another making him unable to explain himself!
This was the result of Gu Yan being poisoned! If this continued, his image in his son's heart would completely collapse! That would be a devastating blow to his son!
A father is the sky of a child, no matter whether he is great or ordinary, he must use his love and personality to support the sky for his son! Once the sky collapsed, his son's view of the world and his life would be distorted.
Gu Yan, oh Gu Yan, you are going to destroy your son, destroy this family!
"Mom has been in a bad mood lately, so we shouldn't bother with her. "Come to Daddy's room tonight. Daddy will sleep with you, okay?" Han Yuan could only change the topic immediately. He could not continue on this topic, or else the more he said, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"Alright." Han Hong nodded. "But I still want to sleep with Mom."
Han Yuan sighed and said, "Alright, then let's go in. You can go to your room by yourself."
Han Hong nodded and got down from Han Yuan's arms. He looked back at his father as he walked, as if he was reluctant to leave.
"Good night, baby!" Han Yuan said.
Han Yuan watched his son enter his own small room before taking his clothes to take a bath.
This kind of family atmosphere was really too bad.
He had never thought that he would lead a life like this! He didn't know what was wrong, but it was wrong everywhere!
Right now, Gu Yan was not talking to him at all, she was quarreling the moment she opened her mouth!
After not seeing her for so long, Gu Yan did not pay any attention to him at her father's memorial meeting. She treated everyone in his family like strangers, even her sister who came back from Canada was equally cold to her.
It was as if the entire Han family owed her.
Han Yuan really suspected that Gu Yan was a pervert in her heart. Otherwise, how did she suddenly become like this?
What was wrong with him? He didn't do anything? He can make her so unrelenting? From the initial cold war to the present hatred, he really did not know what to do!
Originally, A Lan and Lin Tian were also going to attend his father's memorial service. In order to not cause a misunderstanding, Han Yuan refused their good intentions.
He was afraid that Gu Yan would suddenly go berserk when she saw Lin Tian. In such an occasion, she would really lose everything! They had been utterly humiliated!
It was better to have less trouble than less. Right now, he had to be careful of everything.
However, the bite marks on his shoulder left him speechless!
This damned Ah Lan, why did he have to bite him?! And biting so deep! Back then, it hurt him to death, but now, it had taken his life! This death sentence and this death sentence, even if he died several times, it wouldn't be enough!
No matter how he explained, it was pointless to do so!
The next day, his sister, Han Jiao, called him. She hoped that the whole family would gather together at the Licheng Restaurant.
It's Lijing again! Han Yuan smiled wryly in his heart.
However, the matter of the family reunion should be organized by his eldest son. He didn't expect his younger sister to bring it up first.
He wanted to meet with his family after his father's ashes were buried.
"In two days. First, you accompany Mom and take her for a walk. When Mom's mood is better, we can meet again." Han Yuan said.
"Bro, I realized that Sister-in-law seems to have a problem with me!" Han Jiao said, "Why do I look so unfriendly? I called her, but she didn't pay much attention to me."
"At this moment, she's in a bad mood, don't mind her." Han Yuan said.
"Bro, why do I feel like there's something wrong with all of you?" Han Jiao probed.
"Don't make wild guesses, what kind of problems can we have?" Han Yuan didn't want Han Jiao to know about him.
Han Jiao was in Canada and would be flying back in a few days. It was better not to worry about him.
And so what if she knew? He could only add to his worries and tell his mother, making her feel even worse.
Therefore, he definitely could not say any of this.
"Brother, don't lie to me, I'm a woman, I can tell at a glance!" "Tell me, is there a rift between you and sister-in-law?"
Han Jiao used the word "crack" instead of "contradiction".
Contradictions were a small matter. There were both husband and wife, but the cracks were different. They were irreconcilable and irreparable.
"What are you talking about? Mind your own business! " Han Yuan said snappily, "Stay at home with Mom for the rest of your life!"
"Brother, why are you still like this?" Han Jiao said unhappily, "You always carry the problem by yourself. Maybe we can help you out?"
In Han Jiao's heart, her elder brother had always been like this. He never told her about the difficulties and problems he faced. Everything he faced was always handled by himself and resolved by himself.
Han Jiao's heart ached for her big brother.
"Don't worry about it. Take good care of mom. You're the one who helped me out, and I'll thank you for that!" Han Yuan said, "Tonight, I will go to mom's place and personally cook a few dishes for you. I haven't eaten any dishes cooked by brother for a long time, do you want some?"
"Alright, big brother, bring my sister-in-law and Su'er over. We'll gather at home. We don't need to go outside." Han Jiao said.
"Forget about them. Hong'er needs to study law and chess, so she's busy every day. I'll make some for her at home. We'll go over after she's done." Han Yuan said.
Han Jiao immediately understood what he meant.
There was a complete break between him and his sister-in-law! Sister-in-law did not even come to visit her mother-in-law's house, and the child was not allowed to come either! Isn't that a big problem?
Han Jiao decided to interrogate her big brother when she saw him tonight. She wanted him to tell her the truth.
However, Han Yuan did not want his family to know about his relationship with Gu Yan, especially not his mother. He did not want her to worry about him.
Now, her mother was immersed in the pain of losing her wife. If she let her son know that his life was not happy, how could she continue living?
His mother had said long ago that he was the one she cared about the most. He already felt very guilty in his heart. You're such a big person, yet you still want your mother to worry about you?
At 4 PM in the afternoon, Han Yuan got home from work early.
The only good thing about Haizhou Newspaper was that they were more free to go to and from work. This place was different from an administrative office, they did not need to call a card to go to work, nor did they need to see the boss's expression or conduct their business. The reporters were all very mobile. At any moment, they would have to leave the office to do all the work on their own accord.
Although Han Yuan had lost a vice minister, he did not have much authority. Every April or May, when he was busy recruiting, he would have a lot of work to do. Now that the staff had arrived, his department would be more peaceful. The next thing to do was to train the new recruits in batches.
He went to the supermarket and bought some food. It was not even five o'clock when he returned home.
Pushing the door open, he found that Gu Yan was actually home! Why didn't she go to work on a weekday? Han Yuan wanted to ask, but thought better of it. A passionate love makes him cold, so he might have to quarrel again.
Hong'er was watching cartoons.
When he saw that his father had returned, Hong'er ran over to hug him happily. "Daddy —"
"Good son, dad will make you Coke chicken wings, okay?" Han Yuan said with a laugh.
"Alright, I like eating the Cola Chicken Wings made by dad the most!" "Dad, I want to eat sweet and sour pork tomorrow, I want to eat fish ball soup!"
"Ok, dad will make it for you tomorrow. Let's drink green bean curd thin meat soup today. Do you like it?"
"I like it!" Han Hong said happily. As long as it was something that his father did, he would like it.
Han Yuan said as he walked into the kitchen, putting on his apron and getting busy.
The pickled chicken wings were quickly cooked with rice.
Gu Yan sat on the sofa reading a magazine and was not surprised that Han Yuan came home early today.
