Qin Ze's habit of keeping a diary was cultivated by the old man. When he was in school when he was a child, the teacher yelled, "Keep a diary, keep a diary every day. If you don't keep a diary for a day, you will forget it."
Then, he treated writing a diary as homework and asked every primary school student to write a diary at home.
As for the benefits of writing a diary and why he wrote a diary, Qin Ze did not know and did not understand. Later, the old man said, "Confucius said, I reflect on myself three times a day! This is the purpose of a diary. "
At that time, Qin Ze was still young. He blinked his innocent eyes and said, "I don't understand."
The old man put away his literary illness and said earnestly, "Write down what happens every day in a diary. It's not just simply recording things. You have to write down your own feelings, conclusions, and self-reflection. You have to attach your emotions to the tip of the pen."
Qin Ze said weakly, "PaPa, I still don't understand."
The old man sighed and said, "If you are half as smart as Bao Bao, I will wake up laughing in my dreams."
Qin Ze had never seen the old man's diary, but since he taught him as his son, the old man should also have the habit of keeping a diary.
That's right, I am here to peek at the old man's diary.
I want to understand what happened back then, but this kind of thing can't be asked and can't be revealed directly, so peeking at the old man's diary is the best choice.
The old man was a cultured person. He had a kind of literary disease in his bones. He liked to keep all kinds of books. Things like diaries, he would definitely keep them.
Of course, if Qin Ze guessed correctly, the old man probably did not know. However, he could still pry into it through the clues he left behind.
Qin Ze rummaged through the study, including the bookshelf and the safe, but he could not find the diary. Hiss ~ The old man's ability to hide things is first-class. Is there any secret compartment in the study that I don't know?
Qin Ze lifted the hand-embroidered landscape painting by Qin Ma hanging on the wall. The wall was very solid, and there were no hidden compartments.
At this time, it was a test of his strong memory.
It was always like this on TV. When the villains' children discovered their father's secret, they would search for "evidence" in the study but find nothing. Just when they were anxious, they would have a magical flash of inspiration and remember something from their childhood. Then, they would be enlightened and discover their father's secret.
Nothing was found.
The plot of the TV series was indeed unreliable, and the memory of a person was also unreliable. When he was a child, he was most afraid of two things: the fear of being controlled by his father's large magical weapon, and the shame of being locked up in the study to reflect on his mistakes.
In his memory, other than this wall, he didn't have any impression of anything else.
At this time, Qin Ze picked up the blue book on the upper right corner of the desk and opened it: Friday, December 15, 2017 Weather Clear …
"…" Qin Ze's liver hurt.
I spent so much effort looking for you, but you were just lying quietly on the table?
What happened to your dignity as a diary?
The old man's heart was really big. How could he just leave the diary on the desk like that?
Looking at the date, this diary was written yesterday. It obviously had no reference value, but Qin Ze couldn't help but flip through it.
Sneaking a peek at his father's diary was really exciting. It wasn't any less exciting than his own sister.
"… The fluctuation of the stock market has been a little high recently. There are a lot of leveraged funds leaving the market, and a lot of them entering the market. This is a ticking time bomb. Today, Little Lan asked me how the stock market was doing, and I said it was very good. Actually, I've lost tens of thousands in the past few days. But I can't say it. My son is earning money every day, but I'm losing so much. It'll be embarrassing if I say it out loud. I'll ask him for shares another day … "
The "ask him for shares another day" part was very flirtatious.
The old man's diary was unexpectedly interesting. It even revealed his flirtatious heart. Qin Ze resisted the urge to continue flipping through the diary. It was more important to get down to business. If the old man came in from outside and bumped into them, even if his sister begged for mercy, he wouldn't be able to escape a beating.
This diary was written this year and last year. He wondered if there were any more notebooks from more than 20 years ago.
Fortunately, there were indeed some.
The blue diary was placed on a book case. It was the kind of book case that was similar to the hardcover editions of the Four Great Classical Novels.
There were a few diaries inside. They were of different thickness. Some had black covers, some had purple covers, some had white covers … Some were new, some were old.
Qin Ze pulled out a yellowed diary from the bottom. Although the old man had taken care of it carefully, the years had left obvious traces on it. The leather had faded and yellowed, and it could be torn to pieces with just a little force.
He flipped open the diary to take a look. No, the date on the first page was: 1999. At that time, not to mention Qin Bao Bao, Qin Ze was already two or three years old.
He switched to another one and flipped it open. The date on the first page was: 1992, February 3rd …
"Holding an oil-paper umbrella, alone, wandering in the long, long, and lonely alley in the rain, I hope to meet, a girl like lilac, with sorrow and resentment … Today, I met a girl, she didn't have any sorrow or resentment. Her voice was soft, her eyes were gentle, and she exuded a refreshing aura like lilac. I fell in love with her. The next time we meet, I'll give her this poem. I'll wait at the factory entrance."
February 20th …
"The first time I asked her out to play, I rode a bicycle and took her to lie in the early spring sunlight. I was a little cold, and my nose was running. The radio by the roadside was singing a song, 'Thank you for this new era of free love, thank you for God'. "
Qin Ze imagined that scene. The young old man was wearing 90's clothes, a pair of liberation shoes, and riding a black bicycle. On the back seat was Qin Ma with two ponytails and a floral cotton-padded jacket … They shuttled through the cheerful atmosphere of reform and opening up, singing in his ears, "The east is red, the sun rises …"
At that time, the old man must have felt that he was a handsome rich second generation who drove a BMW to pick up girls, right?
.....
April 18th …
"I bumped into her younger brother at the entrance of the factory. He was a little pervert who dared to yell at me. I slapped him. Xiao Lan had a big fight with me and brought her younger brother into the factory. I was very sad."
April 30th …
"Her family knows that I'm in a relationship with her. I heard that my future father-in-law doesn't like me. I know that he looks down on me. He's a leader in the factory, and my father is just a poor teacher. Of course, it was her brother who told me this. I was very angry, so I slapped him again. That little pervert is so handsome, so hateful. "
Qin Ze: "…"
No wonder the relationship between uncle and dad was not good.
May 28th …
"Today is a day worth remembering. Little Lan and I have done the deed of husband and wife. It feels … very good. This lilac-like girl is the girl I'll like for the rest of my life. I suddenly thought of two poems that should be memorized: The silver vase suddenly broke, the water splashed, the iron cavalry rushed out, the sound of swords and spears; The flower path has not been swept by the guest, the door is opened for you. "
Reading up to this point, Qin Ze suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and his hair stood on end.
If he was caught by the old man, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Also, I have to praise the old man for being a cultured person. I can't even understand these poems. After studying classical Chinese for so many years, he only remembered one sentence: The love of chrysanthemum is rarely heard after the pottery.
After memorizing so many poems for so many years, he did not remember much. There was only one paragraph: The spring tide brings rain at night, the boat is unmanned in the wild.
He continued reading:
June 1st …
"… Today, I brought a gift to see my father-in-law, but he kicked me out. I felt embarrassed and had a big fight. I said angrily: Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't bully the young for being poor. He left in a huff. "
June 16th …
"I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her very much. She must miss me too. I asked a friend to send a letter to her, and we met at night. We whispered sweet nothings to each other. After that, Little Lan told me that she was pregnant … "
September 20th …
"Little Lan's pregnancy gradually became obvious. After discussing it with my father, he brought me to the Xu family to propose marriage. My father and the Xu family quarreled and almost fought, but the marriage was settled smoothly. She was very happy, and so was my father. That night, we got drunk. My father said that he hoped that Little Lan would give the Qin family a fat grandson. "
So that's how my sister came about? What about me? How did I come about?
Qin Ze was dumbfounded.
May, 1993 …
"My daughter was born, but I went to the capital to study and did not see her birth. I felt guilty toward Little Lan and her mother. My father called me to tell me that they were safe and sound. But my father sighed, and I knew the reason. He wanted a grandson. "
Reading up to this point, Qin Ze's heart thumped a few times. He skipped this book and searched for it in other books. He and his sister were more than two years apart, almost three years apart. Then, if there was a record in the diary, it should be at least two years later … He found it.
November, 1994 …
"Little Lan is pregnant. I told my father the news, and my father was very comforted. He held my hand and said, 'You are the eldest in the family and my only son. I can't figure it out all these years. The Qin family needs a leader so that my father can live a stable life in the future.' "When this child is born, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, my father is satisfied. I patted his hand and said, 'Don't worry.' "
June.
"I discussed it with Little Lan and planned to let her go to the countryside to nurture the baby and give birth. Her belly was already showing, and she couldn't stay in Shanghai anymore. Little Lan asked me if I wanted a child too. I looked at her and didn't say anything, but I knew in my heart that I did!"
Qin Ze was very melancholic and wanted to smoke. 'I'm still an embryo, and the country can't tolerate me anymore.'
September.
"There's still more than a month before she gives birth. I'm very nervous. Because of work, I can only stay in Zhejiang Province for two days a week to accompany her. Fortunately, Xu Guang is with her the rest of the time."
October.
"The child is born. It's a boy. Xu Guang called to tell me. The excitement in my heart is indescribable. At that time, my father was seriously ill in bed and stayed in the hospital to take care of him. When my children were born, I couldn't be by Little Lan's side. I feel guilty. "
This time, Qin Ze didn't understand. He didn't need to ask Yuan Fang to know that something was wrong. But looking at the old master's diary, he couldn't tell who the child his mother was talking about was.
As expected, his father was the dumbest.
He didn't know anything.
November.
"Bring Azé back to Shanghai and naturalize him. Fine him 30,000 yuan. My heart hurts so much that I can't breathe. In the future, I will whip him and teach him to be a talent. Only then will I not let down the pain now."
Qin Ze: "…"
Is this the reason why you beat me up for so many years?
I'm so tired. I'm really not your biological son.
Suddenly, the door lock clicked. Someone twisted the handle outside and opened the door.
