Chapter 960: Storm Rises (13)

Chapter 960
"It's your induction cooker, I don't know how to use it, and I don't have a fire, and I can't see how big the fire is. I just saw a violent smoke. I will be too late to turn it over." Father said apologetically. "The food is a bit muddy, I shovel the burnt out, don’t delay eating, I’ll have to learn more next time. So that you can eat warm food when you come back from get off work."
Seeing his father trembling and busy alive, Fang Zhiqiang's eyes were sour again. In particular, the blood qi of the elderly is inherently weak. After the operation last night, he felt that his vitality may have been greatly lost. His father's hair and beard turned white all at once, and his old state was immediately exposed.
"Dad, I have said that you don't need to do these things, I will do it. I came back late today due to special circumstances, and I won't be back in the future. Even if it is late, you can wait for me and we can go out to eat. I'll also take you down to the restaurant to fight the teeth." Fang Zhiqiang hurriedly went to take over the work from his father, and said. "Your body is not good now. Just go out and get some air. Don't do these things."
Father paused before speaking: "I always lie down and sit, and I'm bored by myself. I'm afraid that my bones will rust over time. Let me move around."
Fang Zhiqiang brought up the dishes and sat down with his father to eat. In fact, he didn't have any appetite at all, or even couldn't eat it at all, but he was afraid that his father would see something abnormal and didn't want his father to worry, so he still sat down to eat with his father. As for what was eaten in his mouth, what taste he didn't feel at all.
Xiaoxiao, has she eaten now, has she reconciled with her parents? Is she in a better mood now? Sitting at the dinner table, numbly pulling things into his mouth, Fang Zhiqiang's mind was full of these, all about Li Xiaoxiao.
"This induction cooker is still not as good as a wood stove." In the past, Fang Zhiqiang would tell his father what happened today, or talk about the people in his hometown, but today, there is no word. , The atmosphere became silent, and my father was a little speechless looking for words.
"The fire of the earthen stove is fierce, and the food is more fragrant." Fang Zhi smiled reluctantly, and responded to his father's words, "but Dad, you are good at craftsmanship, and the food is delicious."
But my father shook his head: "It’s made in my old home. It’s better than this. Xiaoxiao really likes to eat it, especially the bacon sausage that I made. It is stewed in a pot with mixed vegetables. She said before opening the lid. Fragrant, you can eat it a lot. Can it not be fragrant? They are all made at home. They are cleaner than the outside, they are all real materials." Father said, shook his head and sighed: "I came back then. I was so anxious that I forgot to bring her some. I will burn it for her when she comes."
Fang Zhiqiang didn't expect that his father still mentioned Xiaoxiao well. A piece of tofu in his mouth suddenly became stuck in his throat like a fishbone and couldn't swallow it. It took him a long time to reluctantly eat it, and if nothing happened, he said, "It's okay. I will call my aunt someday and ask her to send some. The postage is not expensive."
He didn't know the meaning of hiding it from his father.
My father didn’t answer the conversation. He was holding the bowl but didn’t move. He asked for a long time: "Qiangzi, are you having trouble with Xiaoxiao? She doesn’t see the slightest movement these days. I have called her, why have you been always It doesn't work. Did you two quarrel?"
"Strong baby, girl, you have to give up. What's more, Xiaoxiao is obedient and sensible, not as unreasonable as others. Sometimes your temper is too stubborn. I know this and let me do it. But if you have something to say, Don't make people sad." Father said slowly, persuading Fang Zhiqiang.
Fang Zhiqiang said for a long time: "Dad, no, I didn't quarrel with her. She is really busy recently." He lowered his head, trying to eat hard, but he couldn't hold his mouth.
The father was silent for a long time before asking, "Did her parents disagree? Don't let her talk to you?"
My father is not stupid, Xiaoxiao has always been so enthusiastic, why is he suddenly silent after returning. Fang Zhiqiang also told him before that Xiaoxiao's family is not an ordinary family. Looking at Fang Zhiqiang's current anomaly, he quickly connected these together.
Fang Zhiqiang's heart was stung again. He really didn't know how to explain to his father, let alone let his father know Xiaoxiao's situation.
"Dad, my family has always disagrees. I have this self-knowledge." Fang Zhiqiang laughed at himself, "I never thought about climbing high. Don't worry about it. Xiaoxiao and I have always been good friends, really. Yes, just a good friend. Telling you that you still don’t believe me, then you shouldn’t give that piece of jade to her. What do you want to give to my daughter-in-law in the future? If you let the daughter-in-law know, you can’t make trouble with me. ?"
Fang Zhiqiang smiled and said nonsense, as if he wanted to change the subject. In fact, he has been holding on, he is really afraid that he will cry in front of his father.
"I said it was for her, and even if I didn't become a daughter-in-law, I would still treat her as a daughter-in-law, and that will always be the case." Father said this very hard and serious.
"Qiangwazi, I still said that. If Xiaoxiao herself repents and disagrees, or her family disagrees and has no discussion, then we have nothing to say. We can only say that without that blessing, we can't have such a good wife. But if you don't know how to cherish it, and you don't catch it, then you are committing a crime." After saying this, my father took the meal to himself without saying a word.
Fang Zhiqiang couldn't eat a bite anymore, and there was only one voice in his heart: Dad, I may really be unlucky, I can't help this wife.
Maybe I am destined to be lonely and old.
It's just that, he dared not tell his father anyway, for fear of stabbing his father's heart. There is no parent who does not wish his children a happy family, but he may be destined to disappoint his father.
My father had no appetite at all. After taking a few bites, he put down the dishes and went to clean up the dishes. Fang Zhiqiang resolutely stopped him from going, tuned him to the crosstalk channel so that he could sit and watch TV, and go to the kitchen to wash himself with his dishes.
When Fang Zhiqiang finished washing and tidying up, there was a lively sound on the TV, with laughter and applause one after another, but his father was not watching at all. He was looking at something with his old man's mobile phone with reading glasses. Seeing him coming out, he hesitated and held up his phone: "Qiangzi, look at my phone. There are text messages coming in every day, and I don’t know how to read them. Look at what text messages are, I Why look at the name like Xiaoxiao."
Fang Zhiqiang his heart tightened and subconsciously took the phone. Opened the SMS box.
The message box was full of messages from Li Xiaoxiao.
