It was early morning when I returned to Li's house.
The old housekeeper was still awake. Seeing Li Chenxi coming in from outside, he hurried to meet him, "Sir, have you eaten? Have you drunk? I'll make you some sober soup?"
He shook his head and went straight upstairs. Somehow he stopped and turned to look at the old housekeeper.
Over the years, the housekeeper has been at home, taking care of him and his children, not to mention being serious and responsible, but also fulfilling his duties. Although it is an employment relationship, it is also a family to some extent.
Li Chenxi pondered, "it's getting late. Go and have a rest! Don't wait for me alone in the future. Go to bed first!"
The old housekeeper's heart was warm and looked at him and smiled, "I'm old and feel little. It's okay."
The two exchanged greetings. When Li Chenxi went upstairs again, he didn't go back to his room directly, but habitually went to the children's room first.
I thought several children were sleeping. Unexpectedly, Li Zheng's room was still bright, and occasionally there was a sound.
When he went to the door and opened the door, he saw that Xi Xi was lying lazily on the big bed belonging to Li Zheng in the big room. On one side of the rotating computer chair, Li Zheng sat on it with a gloomy face, and Li Lin was concentrating on playing with the computer.
Several children rarely get together, and surprisingly, Li Zheng doesn't get angry. Xi Xi makes his bed messy, and the bits of snacks fall all over the ground.
Li Chenxi frowned. As soon as he went in, his daughter rushed down from the bed and hugged her thigh. "Dad, tell me, how did you date your mother? Did you bring her back?"
Xi Xi looked at him eagerly, expecting his eyes to shine brightly.
Li Lin on one side also put down the computer, took off his headphones and ran over in three or two steps, "how are you getting along with mom? When will she come to see us?"
When both children asked, Li Zheng kept silent.
Although Li Zheng didn't ask anything, he could see that he looked this way and paid attention to Li Chenxi's every move, even the subtle look on his face.
Li Chenxi sighed powerlessly, quickly pressed down the mess at the bottom of his eyes, leaned over and looked at a son and a daughter, smiled, "Dad, how can a date be unsuccessful? Mom, she's fine, just?"
He lengthened his voice, and some didn't know how to compile and organize the language and explain to the children.
Li Lin took the lead in noticing his abnormality and hurriedly asked, "what is it?"
Xi Xi also asked, "yes, come on, what's the matter?"
Li Zheng looked at this side for a moment, and his anxious look was also very obvious.
Li Chenxi repeatedly took a deep breath, tried his best to think about it, stretched out his hand and rubbed the children's small heads, "it's just that mom rarely has free time to ask dad and mom to have more meetings, okay?"
"Ah?" Xi Xi breathed out in surprise, like some displeasure and some disappointment.
For a long time, from birth to the age of five, Xi Xi followed Shu Yu. She looked forward to her mother's return more than anyone. She wanted to jump into Shu Yu's arms immediately. Suddenly, she couldn't stand hearing this.
Li Lin obviously had some small losses, but fortunately, he was very sensible and thought it over and over again. "That's right. Mom used to work so hard. Now it's not easy to have time. It's also right to play more."
Li Chenxi also said along with the children, "yes, and we should leave some time for Dad to perform well and recover his mother!"
Xi Xi's mouth was small, "then Dad, you have to refuel. Mom is not so easy to chase!"
The little girl said, put her hand around Li Chenxi's neck and kissed him on his face, "but it doesn't matter. It's really not OK. Just let us out. We're all your trumps!"
He smiled helplessly and answered, "you are not only dad's trump card, you are Dad's baby!"
He coaxed the two children for a while, first took Xi Xi back to the room, then turned back, picked up the little son, coaxed the two children to sleep one after another, and Li Chenxi turned back to the eldest son's room.
At this time, Li Zheng was concentrating on making the bed and seriously patting the snack residue on the bed sheet. Some of his disgusting actions were rude and exaggerated.
Li Chenxi stood aside with his shoulders in his hands. After watching for a while, he said, "why don't you change the sheets?"
The child has a habit of cleanliness since childhood. He is just like him in temperament.
Li Zheng didn't say anything. He still bowed his head and treated the bed sheet and quilt cover in the most rough way. Even the pillow was thrown on the floor.
Li Chenxi frowned helplessly, walked over to pick up the pillow, then turned to the inner dressing room, took out a new and clean four piece set in the wardrobe, and when he returned to the room, took his son away and began to replace it himself.
Normally speaking, he doesn't have to do everything himself to take care of the children, and it's hard for him to spare time. He's too busy, but occasionally he's willing to take care of the children himself.
After all, they are his own flesh and blood. Looking at each child, they feel like their own miniature. They can't be serious and responsible.
Li Zheng sat down in a chair beside him, quietly watched Li Chenxi change his sheets and quilt cover, and made a sound to remind him from time to time to make him better.
Li Chenxi almost finished it. He sat by the bed and stretched out his hand to his son in the chair. Suddenly, he pulled Li Zheng over, "you smelly boy, dad helps you tidy up, and you're still directing?"
Li Zheng shrugged his shoulders in his arms and showed his white teeth with a smile.
He rubbed his son's head and thought of the boy's appearance when he was a child. His small white hands grabbed his tie and stuffed it into his mouth. Shu Yao was still mute and couldn't speak, but he hurriedly took the child from his arms and kept signaling Zheng er not to "eat" anything.
The past is like smoke. Scenes flash in front of him. He looks at the child with some miscellaneous flavor, "Zheng Er, when you were a child, your mother loved you very much."
Li Zheng was stunned, his big eyes like Obsidian flashed, then hung down dimly, and nono nodded, "I know."
Li Chenxi smiled, "since you know, don't be angry with your mother, okay? Give her some more time, it's all dad's fault, I didn't protect her..."
Li Zheng lowered his head again and leaned against his father's arms. After a long time, he answered, "... Good."
It's not easy to have so many children.
When Li Chenxi coaxed his eldest son to sleep, it was nearly two o'clock in the morning.
He was also a little tired. Surprisingly, he didn't go to work and went back to his room to have a rest.
……
On this side of the hotel, when Shu Yao woke up in the morning, as soon as he took his mobile phone, he took the lead in seeing the message sent by Li Chenxi, "get up and eat something, and then take the stomach medicine."
In a simple sentence, a kind of natural care and advice is mixed with an indisputable tone.
Shu Yao tightened her eyebrows and saved his phone number into her mobile phone. When she made remarks, she hesitated, replaced the three words "Li Chenxi" she had entered and changed it into "a single old man with three children" and smiled.
But the smile remained so short that when she found it, she was a little surprised. Then she didn't think much, so she closed her long hair, got up and went to the bathroom.
When she took a shower, changed her clothes and came out of the bedroom, ah Dong and ah Jue stood respectfully aside, one holding a cup of hot coffee and the other holding a morning paper.
Shu Yao walked over without looking at it. She sat in the chair of the restaurant, took the morning paper, glanced at the news on the front page, and smiled on her good-looking face.
Immediately, she raised her eyes and looked at Lin Jue on one side, "it seems that you have done a good job."
Ah Jue lowered his eyes modestly. "It's just according to your instructions. This step is very clever. Taking GT company can not only contain Lu, but also involve Li. You can kill many birds with one stone. Miss an, you're very powerful."
