Mr. Zhang felt guilty towards the Chen family.

What happened back then not only harmed Chen Weiguo, but also his daughter. If he hadn't insisted on it, Ziyu might not have divorced, and he would not have met the playboy of the Li family.

When the old couple of Zhang family heard about the old lady in Chen family, they felt quite uneasy. Looking at the brother and sister of Chen Qiaoshan and then the two granddaughters was particularly embarrassing.

Chen Qiaoshan knew the reason to stop at the right time, and it would be a bit unkind if he continued to talk about it. To be honest, there was no room for him to intervene in the grudges of the previous generation.

Chen Qiaoshan felt a little strange. He should be the most rational among all the Chen family members, and he shouldn't have been like this.

After thinking for a while, maybe the old lady's remarks were useful, otherwise Chen Xi would not have been thinking about going to Yanjing to cause trouble for Zhang Ziyu. In the face of his ears, the kindness can be passed on, and the hatred should be the same. This may be the family.

...

The scene was a bit stiff, and this was not Zhang Ziyu's original intention. She had to say, "It's getting late, let's order food and chat while eating."

As he said that, he called the waiter in.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Wu, look at the menu and order whatever you like. Don't be polite." The old lady of Zhang began to greet the Chen brothers and sisters, and did not forget her two granddaughters. "Yi Yi, Linlin, don't stand there either."

Xiaowu still remembers the second brother’s previous explanation, he is honest and looks very well-behaved.

Zhang Ziyu is the one who makes the decision when ordering dishes. It can be seen that this is another woman with personality.

At the dinner table, the two families were a little bored. Except for Mr. Zhang and his wife who would occasionally ask about the situation of the Chen family, there was nothing else to talk about.

The scene was not awkward, and everyone else seemed to be in a good mood except Xiao Wu.

When I was having a duck, there was a little episode.

Seven people, Zhang Ziyu ordered two Yanjing roast ducks. The chef was a master, and it seemed that he was in his forties and fifty years. When he entered the private room, he first sliced ​​a piece of roasted duck skin, just a small plate, served on the table with seasonings.

Zhang Ziyu said: "Xiao Chen, this is the most essence of roast duck, you can try it."

She felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at the man's son, but Zhang Ziyu was also a shameless person and would definitely not show any emotion in front of others.

Li Xiao Lin was unhappy, "Mom, my sister likes this, why give it to him?"

Of course, Chen Qiaoshan would not compete with others for stuttering, and he would not lose weight. Besides, that would not be his taste. The roast duck skin is all oily, so it would be better to eat it with a skin and meat dipping sauce, at least to relieve greasiness.

But Xiaowu likes it very much. The little girl can even eat foie gras, and her appetite is extraordinary. Chen Qiaoshan is so tired of her.

"I'll forget it, I'll give it to the person I like."

As soon as she said, "Sister," Chen Qiaoshan couldn't open her mouth, but in the end she was perfunctory.

Zhang Ziyu advised again: "No, you can eat it, Yi Yi comes often."

Seeing her insistence, Xiao Wu looked at him with a gaze again, Chen Qiaoshan had to say, "Okay, Xiao Wu Yidu, I'll forget it."

Li Xiao Lin glanced at him with an expression that you knew.

Chen Qiaoshan ignored it and helped put the plate of duck skin and sauce in front of Xiaowu. The little girl looked at it, but didn't move her chopsticks. Instead, she asked: "Second brother, why don't you have sugar? I like to eat sweets."

At noon, Xiaowu had just eaten roast duck in Dadong, with duck skin dipped in candy, and there was a saying that it was a bite of crispy. The little girl liked it tightly, and she lost her bite with her third and fourth sisters, and she didn't have the second brother's share.

Old Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Oh, they are really sisters. Even the taste is the same. Our Yiyi doesn't like dipping sauce, but she just likes sugar."

One sentence made the room full of people and the old chef who was accompanied by a piece of duck stunned.

To outsiders, the two of them look like they look like they are sisters, but when they look at this time and then look at the atmosphere of chatting, they don’t look like a family.

Eating is the most important occasion. The old chef has been filming ducks in Quanjude for decades, and has never seen anything before. Today, this formation is obviously weird.

After hearing what her mother said, Zhang Ziyu felt very uncomfortable. The blood relationship between Yi Yi and the Chen family could not be changed. Even if she had not contacted her for more than 20 years, she would recognize Xiao Wu at a glance. This might be a fate.

Li Xiao Lin was very dissatisfied. She and Yi Yijie were sisters, and the girl on the other side was nothing. Especially when she saw Chen Qiaoshan, she was even more angry.

Chen Qiaoshan ignored the words and said to the waiter: "Please put two plates of cotton sugar."

"Okay, sir, please wait." The waiter answered.

The chef next to him smiled and said, "You are from the south. You used to eat this way. Most of you like to dip your tiger sauce in recent years. If the customers don't explain, we will no longer add extra sugar."

"That's right." Chen Qiaoshan did not deny it either.

In the eyes of the Northeastern people, the inner city is all the south, and in the eyes of the Guangdong province, Shanghai is all the north. In this way, Dengzhou can afford it.

The protagonist of this meal was not Chen Qiaoshan, but Zhang Yiyi. In addition to starting to say something to Xiaowu, she kept silent and the atmosphere was not awkward.

After a meal, there was no turmoil.

Chen Qiaoshan took it lightly. Although he had blood relationship with Zhang Yiyi, blood relationship could not replace family affection.

Compared with a father I have never met and a stranger, only Zhang Yiyi knew the difference between this.

After dinner, Chen Qiaoshan came out of Quanjude and left Qidi Building.

The old man from the Zhang family suddenly said, "Xiao Chen, I have two words to tell you." As he said that, he also glanced at his daughter.

Zhang Ziyu understood, and she held Xiaowu's hand enthusiastically and said, "Xiaowu, there is a cold drink shop in front of me. Let's go buy some drinks."

Xiaowu didn't say anything, looked at his second brother, saw him nodding, and then followed him.

Zhang Yi followed him consciously, and Li Xiaolin was dragged away unwillingly, leaving only Mr. Zhang and his wife in the same place, clearly showing that they had something to say.

"Xiao Chen, I was sent to the countryside back then, and your grandparents helped me a lot. You should have heard of the grudges between our two families. Over the years, I have been asking people to contact your grandparents, but there has been no reply. I also know a little about the situation in Weiguo. If you are four brothers and sisters, he will definitely be very burdened."

"Now you have been admitted to Peking University, Wei Guo has a chance in his life. If you four brothers and sisters go to school, your family will definitely be difficult."

Speaking of this, the old man of the Zhang family glanced at his wife. The old lady took out a card and said, "Xiao Chen, Lao Zhang and I haven't saved anything over the years. There is 50,000 yuan here. If you take it, it's the tuition fee for you and Xiaowu brothers and sisters. Help your father relieve some of the pressure."

After talking, he stuffed the card into Chen Qiaoshan's hands without saying anything.

Chen Qiaoshan's expression turned cold. He pinched the bank card in his hand and glanced at the two people opposite him. He had the urge to throw the card on the ground. He thought about it and held back.

He said coldly: "I'm afraid this money is not suitable to give me?"

"Besides, where do you start with this grudge? To be honest, the Zhang family has no grudges towards the Chen family. As for grudges, do you think it's money? Or do you think money can solve the problem?"

During the divorce, the Zhang brother-in-law brought him several hundred yuan. In those days, the money was not easy to make. The money was enough to save a set of three old items and marry a new wife in a grand manner. Chen Weiguo was very tough and forced to get it back.

Chen Qiaoshan knew his father's personality very well. Although many years have passed, some things will not change.

Not to mention 50,000, 100,000 or 200,000, Chen Weiguo must still be the same as he wants.

Seeing that the other party was still waiting, Chen Qiaoshan continued, "Old man, you and my grandfather are of the same generation, you are an elder and a well-known scholar. It is not convenient for me, a younger generation, to say more."

"I'm talking about this today. In just one sentence, it's not convenient for me to interfere in the grudges between the two families. Whether it's my grandparents or my dad, I really feel that I owe them anything. I can explain it to them in person. There is no need to make things difficult for me, a junior."

The old couple of Zhang family looked at each other speechlessly and silently took the bank card handed over by Chen Qiaoshan.

Mr. Zhang looked a little sad. He knew in his heart that Mr. Chen won, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren all had the same temper. The prosperity of the Chen family was foreseeable, and the Zhang family was no longer as bad as before.

Fifty thousand yuan is actually a huge sum of money. Chen Qiaoshan doesn’t think the money is small, but he just doesn’t like the way Zhang’s family deals with problems.

If you are really sincere and have been in the village for more than ten years and are familiar with the world, why ask someone to inquire and come to the door?

"Xiaowu, let's go." Chen Qiaoshan was about to leave when he called Xiaowu. Suddenly, he found that Zhang Yiyi was staring at him in a daze. After thinking about it, he stopped again and said to Zhang Yiyi: "Can I say a few words to you?"

Zhang Yi nodded and then walked over.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't avoid anyone either. He smiled: "I was actually quite embarrassed when I met for the first time. How can I say that, although your surname is Zhang and my surname is Chen, there are some things that cannot be changed."

Seeing Xiaowu staring at them curiously, Chen Qiaoshan patted her forehead and continued, "You can't feel some feelings, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Grandpa and grandma, and our dad, have never stopped worrying about you."

"I don't know how the Zhang family explained what happened back then, but I can say on behalf of our father that he did nothing wrong back then, and he has never regretted it over the years. I hope you can understand that it is not that he doesn't come to you, but that he cannot come to you."

Zhang Yiyi bit her lips tightly, clenched her hands unnaturally, trying her best to restrain certain emotions.

She knew since she was a child that she had no father.

For a long time, she lived with her grandparents and could only meet her mother on weekends. Later, she had a sister and the situation was not much better. She did not reunite with her mother until she was in the third grade of elementary school. But her stepfather did not like her and had completely different attitudes towards her and her sister. There was no way, so she returned to her grandparents.

She knew that her mother's life was not happy and her relationship with her stepfather was not very good. It was not until she divorced that the mother and daughter were truly reunited, but her relationship with her mother was also very weak, far less than that of her grandparents.

Zhang Yiyi had fantasies about her father. She also asked her grandparents, but the two of them never mentioned it. It was just by chance that she heard from her father's news from her drunk uncle.

She learned that her father was Chen Weiguo, and she was an uneducated farmer. She heard from her uncle that her father was not worthy of her mother, but the Zhang family owed the Chen family and would pay it back sooner or later.

Not clear, Zhang Yi asked his mother with a few words he heard, once he cried, and grandparents. The result was the long silence of the two elders. When asked about his uncle and uncle, he was even more vague.

Zhang Yiyi is sensible, and after a long time, she stopped asking. Since then, she has kept the secret deeply in her heart.

Zhang Yiyi knew very well that she longed for a father.

Watching her sister play with her stepfather and watching the children in the Tsinghua University family area play with her parents, she always outlines her father's appearance in her mind, but she never shows it, just to avoid making her family sad.

From elementary school to middle school, and from middle school to university, she has been admitted to graduate school and finally has news of her father.

Looking at Chen Qiaoshan and looking at his half-sister who is seventy-square like him, Zhang Yiyi didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. The Chen family was a stranger to her.

Zhang Yi was confused when she had a wish, and she didn't know how to face it.

Chen Qiaoshan was waiting quietly. Seeing Zhang Yiyi's expression changing, he refused to speak, and he no longer forced him.

"This is my business card, with my contact information on it. No matter what problems you encounter in the future, you can call me at any time. If possible, I hope you can go to your hometown to take a look."

"No matter what you think, no matter what your surname is, as long as our dad recognizes you as the Chen family, and the old lady and grandpa recognizes you as the Chen family, you are our own family."

Zhang Yi twitched at the corner of her eyes. She bit her lips tightly, trying hard to suppress the impulse in her heart, but it was still useless. She had to lower her head and let the haze of the night block her vision.

Seeing that he was still indifferent, Chen Qiaoshan could not say that he was very disappointed. When the news came, he could have done his best for the Chen family.

Chen Qiaoshan stuffed the business card directly into Zhang Yiyi's hand and pulled Xiaowu into the parking lot.
