After breakfast, she hugged her teacup and went up to Li He. She grinned and said, "Dad, do you have any questions?"
Li He raised his eyelids and then lowered them again. He said nonchalantly, "The key is whether you have any questions. Hurry up and say it. I have a meeting to attend."
"I had a sudden inspiration. I had an idea." Li Yi looked at her father's reaction and did not continue.
Li He said calmly, "Do you think that just because you had a sudden inspiration, it's your idea? Maybe he had already thought about it and even published a book. Daughter, you still have to study. "
"You can't hurt me like that!" Li Yi pouted. She knew that her father had an opinion of her. Otherwise, he would have asked her in a gentle voice so as not to hurt her pride!
Li He said, "I'm advising you to study more. Don't treat others like fools. What you know, others know too. What you don't know, there are still many people who know."
"Studying is like rowing a boat against the current. I feel seasick and want to vomit. Are you a man? It's boring to beat around the bush. Can we be more straightforward? " Li Yi saw that her father's teacup was empty, so she refilled it. She smiled and said, "The tea is so fragrant. I'll put some in later."
"Being open to you is being cruel to me." Li He flipped the pages of the newspaper with a loud crash. Most people who opened their hearts would regret it later.
Li Yi sat cross-legged on the sofa and stared at Li He. "I didn't do anything to you, did I? It's so early in the morning. Don't vent your anger on me. "
Li He put down the newspaper and stretched. "I have to attend a meeting. You should go out for a walk if you have nothing to do. Don't stay at home all day. It's good to go shopping with your mother."
Li Yi watched him get into the car and then asked her mother, "What's going on?"
He Fang said, "I don't care about you two. Settle it yourself."
Li Yi said, "What's going on? The moment I came back, the two of you started singing a duet?"
He Fang took off her apron and picked up the bag hanging by the door. "I have to go to work too. What about you? Make yourself something to eat at noon. If you don't like the trouble, you can drive yourself to the restaurant. The car keys are in the drawer."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
In a fit of pique, Li Yi took a big bite out of the apple.
Li He sat on the steps in front of the company, facing the glaring sun, dazed.
Dong Hao plucked up his courage and sat beside Li He. He smiled and said, "Mr. Li."
"Have you thought it through?" Li He asked.
"Yes, I've thought it through. The fallen leaves return to their roots, and I still have to go back. I'll go back and renovate the old house, build a shed at the door, plant some vegetables, and raise two dogs. Those days will be wonderful." He was a man in his early sixties. Now that his children were married and he had three grandchildren, there was nothing else for him to worry about.
If there was anything he couldn't let go of, it would be Li He.
In this lifetime, other than the ten years in the army and the few years he spent wandering around in society, he had spent most of his time following Li He.
Li He wasn't just his boss.
His entire life, his entire family, had changed because of Li and Li.
To be honest, he couldn't bear to leave Li He so suddenly.
Li He said, "Then make your own decisions. You have an old lady at home. Spend more time with her and show your filial piety. It's a good thing."
He couldn't bear to leave Dong Hao.
Although Dong Hao was no longer his bodyguard, the two of them would still see each other often in Beijing. This time, when they returned home, they would probably be separated by life and death.
Dong Hao took out a cigarette and lit it. Before he could smoke, Li He took it out and put it in his mouth.
Dong Hao lit another cigarette for himself and said with a smile, "You should smoke less. I heard from Song Gu that you coughed for the whole day after you smoked one last time?"
Li He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's not that exaggerated. I just happened to catch a cold at that time. Do you have any wishes that I can help you fulfill?"
Dong Hao smiled and said, "I'm still alive. Let's not talk about these inauspicious things."
Li He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, I said the wrong thing. What I meant was that the children are fine. Is there anything that I can help with with our daughter and son?"
Dong Hao said, "As for our son, although he's not smart, he's doing fine. These two years, he opened a supermarket and a restaurant. He can take care of himself and doesn't need my help. As for our daughter, you've met her before. She doesn't need my help either. She's settled down in America. If there's anything that bothers me, it's that I found a foreign son-in-law. I still can't get over it. I haven't even dared to go out for a month. It's embarrassing. "
Li He smiled and said, "In modern society, love is free. Foreigners also have one nose and two nostrils. They also walk upright. It's no different from marrying Gouwa or Er Dan from the neighboring village. I heard that the children are already five years old?
Alright, it's about time. Let them come back when it's time. Don't be stubborn. "
"What if this happens in your house?" This was the first time in his life that Dong Hao had refuted Li He.
"I'll break her legs!" Li He answered without hesitation.
He scratched his head and smiled.
When it came to this kind of thing, he was like most parents. He wasn't that open-minded.
"Haha, then don't try to persuade me." Dong Hao laughed.
Li He said, "It's already happened. What else can you do? To be honest, if it really happened in my house, I wouldn't know what to do either. I can only say that it's better to take precautions. "
Dong Hao sighed and changed the topic. "Old Lan was diagnosed with liver cancer the day before yesterday."
Lan Shifang was the oldest among their comrades. They had always addressed him as Big Brother.
Li He was shocked and then asked, "When did this happen? Why didn't I know about it?"
Dong Hao said, "I even went to his house yesterday."
Li He said, "He didn't go to the hospital? If he needs to be hospitalized for treatment, I'll get Qi Hua to arrange for him to go to a hospital abroad for treatment. "
Dong Hao waved his hand and said, "Everyone knows what his temper is like. There's no cure for cancer and he doesn't want to be treated. He said that going to the hospital for surgery and chemotherapy is not only a waste of time, but it's also very torturous. He's not willing just to live for one or two more years.
He's already bought plane tickets and is preparing to take his wife on a trip. They're leaving tomorrow.
Everyone, don't send him off. If he's feeling bad, we're feeling bad too. "
Li He was silent.
He looked up at the tall buildings in front of him and suddenly felt a little dizzy.
After a long time, he said leisurely, "The feelings of the world have dispersed like the fleeting clouds. My hatred for the void grows with the river."
"I'll leave first. I'll come back to see you when I have time." Dong Hao didn't understand his poem, but he could hear the sadness in it. "Oh, it's not that I have time. It's your Eldest Young Master's wedding. I'll definitely come."
Li He stood up and stretched out his hand. "Okay, I'll definitely inform you when the time comes." “
Song Gu picked up the cigarette butt that Li He had thrown on the floor and said in a low voice, "Mr. Li, it's time for the meeting."
