Reborn In The ’80s to Raise Cubs - Chapter 93
After he finished speaking, Xu Fan held the phone and listened quietly, then with a “OK”, he stood on tiptoe, put the phone on the table, turned and ran into the kitchen and shouted, “Dad, the phone, the phone is looking for you.”
Xu Zhao turned his head and asked, “Who is looking for me?”
Who is looking for dad? Xu Fan was stopped when he was asked.
Seeing Xu Fan’s adorable appearance, Xu Zhao laughed and asked, “You didn’t ask who it was, did you?”
Xu Fan said blankly, “I, I forgot.”
Xu Zhao touched Xu Fan’s fleshy little face and said, “It’s okay, remember to ask next time.”
Xu Fan nodded happily: “Well, Dad, next time I ask ‘who are you’ wow, I won’t talk, I won’t talk on the phone.”
“Yes, that’s awesome!” Xu Zhao got up from the stove with a smile, went to the west wing to answer the phone, just put the phone in his ear when he heard a familiar voice on the other side.
“Xu Zhao, it’s me, Zhou Xiangqian.”
It was Zhou Xiangqian, Xu Zhao couldn’t help frowning, but his own qualities still made him greet him gently: “Hello.”
“Well, I heard that you went to the imperial capital recently?” Zhou Xiangqian asked from the other side.
Xu Zhao responded.
Zhou Xiangqian asked again, “When did you come back?”
“I just came back today, I just got home.” Xu Zhao answered truthfully.
“Then, that, do you have time tomorrow? I happened to be returning to Jiangping.”
“I,” Xu Zhao said after a pause, “I don’t have time.”
Zhou Qiang paused slightly on the other side.
Xu Zhao didn’t like to drag things around, and he didn’t want to hang Zhou Xiangqian and hurt others as well as himself, so he said bluntly, “Zhou Xiangqian, I’m really sorry, I think we’re not suitable, so let’s end like this, okay?”
Zhou Xiangqian asked from the other side, “Is it because I don’t accept Xu Fan?”
Xu Zhao answered seriously: “At first, it was, but later it wasn’t.”
“Why not later?”
“Because I-I don’t have feelings for you.”
“…”
Xu Zhao said again: “Zhou Xiangqian, I’m sorry.”
“Aren’t you going to give me a chance?” Zhou Xiangqian asked in a low voice on the other side.
Xu Zhao didn’t speak, his attitude was obvious.
After a while, Zhou Xiangqian asked again, “Xu Zhao, can I ask you a question?”
Xu Zhao replied, “You say it.”
Zhou Xiangqian finally asked, “Is Xu Fan the son of Qi Shuai? It’s you—”
“No.” Xu Zhao replied.
“Then why do you care about him so much?” In this age of the world, it is normal for every family to have two or even three or four children. Children are not expensive. How many people throw their children to each other or their own elders in order to get married? , but Xu Zhao is different, just because he said that Xu Fan should be raised by his grandparents, Xu Zhao sentenced him to “death penalty”, and he was a little unconvinced.
Xu Zhao asked calmly, “Because I brought him to this world, not someone else.”
Zhou Xiangqian was silent for a moment.
After a while, Xu Zhao said again, “That’s it, goodbye.”
Zhou Xiangqian did not speak.
Xu Zhao hung up the phone, sighed softly, and looked down to see Xu Fan holding his leg in one hand and a potato chip in the other, and said, “Dad, I’ll give you potatoes, grandma fried them.”
Xu Zhao refused: “Don’t eat.”
“Why don’t you eat?”
“Your hands are dirty, I despise you.” Xu Zhao said with a smile, “I despise you.”
Xu Fan looked at his little hands and said, “Dad, I washed my hands.”
Xu Zhao asked, “Have you washed it?”
Xu Fan replied, “I wash it twice.”
“Then let me take a bite.”
Xu Zhao picked up Xu Fan, took a bite of a potato chip, and then came to the kitchen to help Xu’s mother cook. The family had lunch together and recovered their strength. Xu Zhao brought back the fruits, clothes, The cakes were taken out, not only for Xu’s father and Xu’s mother, but also for the big dealer.
Knowing that Dazhuang’s mother was about to give birth, I bought a small set of clothes on purpose, which made Dazhuang’s parents very happy.
Dad Dazhuang thanked Xu Zhao, and Xu Zhao didn’t bring more at Dazhuang Dad’s house. When he returned home, he packed his luggage and looked at the leafy vegetables in the vegetable greenhouse. It was evening after a while.
After dinner, Xu Zhao first washed Xu Fan’s hands, face, feet and ass, then threw Xu Fan on the bed, and went to wash himself. He took a towel to wipe his hair and went back to the west wing. He was wearing long clothes and long pants. The flesh-footed Xu Fan was standing at the table, answering the phone, the answer came naturally, and the little milky voice came out one after another.
“My dad went to take a shower.”
“…”
“I ate dinner tonight, and I ate a lot.”
“…”
“Dad, my dad also eats a lot. My dad eats white noodles, steamed buns, and horse bells.”
“…”
This little fat kid got out of bed without shoes, and answered the phone so enthusiastically.
“Xu Fan!” Xu Zhao raised his voice slightly.
Xu Fan took the phone and turned around and shouted with a smile, “Dad.”
Xu Zhao asked, “What are you doing?”
Xu Fan immediately replied, “I’m talking on the phone.”
Xu Zhao asked, “I ask you where are your shoes?”
“My shoes, where are my shoes?” Xu Fan looked down and saw that he didn’t wear shoes, he washed his feet and didn’t wear shoes, he was about to be spanked, so he quickly stood on tiptoe and put the phone on the table. run towards the bed.
“Where are you going?” Xu Zhao raised his voice slightly and said, “Your feet are covered in mud!”
Xu Fan stopped moving, turned his head, looked at Xu Zhao timidly with watery eyes, and said, “I-I’ll wash it again.”
Xu Zhao put on his face: “Go and wash your feet with your grandfather.”
Hearing this, Xu Fan didn’t hesitate, ran out of the west wing and shouted, “Grandpa, my feet are dirty. I’ll wash them again. Dad said, I’ll wash them again.”
Xu Zhao watched Xu Fan staggeringly into the east wing, and then retracted his gaze, walked to the table, picked up the phone, and put it to his ear: “Hello, hello.”
“It’s me, Cui Dingchen.” Cui Dingchen’s sweet voice came from the other side.
Xu Zhao’s heart skipped a beat: “Uncle.”
“Well, you were quite fierce just now.” There was a smile in Cui Dingchen’s voice.
Xu Zhao was slightly embarrassed: “Sometimes Xu Fan is very disobedient.”
“Well, the lesson is right.”
Xu Zhao’s tone was a little unnatural: “That, uncle, are you okay?”
Cui Dingchen said easily: “No, I just want to hear your voice.”
“…” Xu Zhao’s heart was confused again, and he forced himself to ask calmly, “Uncle, where are you now? Are you on a business trip?”
“I’m still in the county seat, and I’m going on a business trip tomorrow.” Cui Dingchen asked after finishing speaking, “What are you going to do tomorrow? Have you started growing greenhouse fruits?”
“I can’t plant it yet.”
“Why?” Cui Dingchen asked.
When Xu Zhao talked about the work, it was much smoother: “I haven’t collected the leaves yet, I have to plan for two more days. I will go to the county town tomorrow to settle accounts with the steel mill, Jiangping restaurant, and Fan Xiaodian, and then Go buy some medicine for my dad, drop by the vegetable market, and buy some meat, fish, etc. Since Xu Fan and I went to the imperial capital, my parents and my mom eat pickled vegetables and miscellaneous noodles every day, I want to make up for them write.”
“Well, good, go ahead.”
“Continue what?”
“Go on, I like to hear it.”
“…”
Xu Zhao didn’t know what to say all of a sudden. He felt that Cui Dingchen seemed to be a different person, and every word could make him confused. Fortunately, at this time, Xu’s mother carried Xu Fan into the west wing, and he made an excuse. , hung up the phone.
Mother Xu turned to put Xu Fan on the bed, and asked, “Whose phone is it?”
“Second Master Cui!” Xu Fan answered loudly while standing on the bed, because it was he who answered the phone.
Xu Zhao turned his head and glared at Xu Fan.
Xu Fan knew what Xu Zhao meant, and was afraid that he would fall off the bed, so he hurriedly sat on the bed, be obedient, don’t roll around, and then giggled at Xu Zhao mischievously.
Then Xu Zhao looked at Xu’s mother and said, “Uncle beat him.”
Mother Xu asked casually, “What is he doing on the phone at night?”
Xu Zhao scratched his head and said, “Say he’s going on a business trip tomorrow.”
“Oh.”
Xu’s mother didn’t ask any further, and asked Xu Zhao to sleep quickly, and then returned to the east wing. Xu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Fan.
Xu Fan raised his arms and said, “Dad, hug me.”
Xu Zhao refused: “No hug.”
“hug me.”
“No hug, no hug, no hug.”
Xu Zhao sat on the bed, Xu Fan automatically arched towards Xu Zhao’s arms, like a little suckling pig, the difference was that Xu Fan was softer and more fragrant, Xu Zhao was laughed at by Xu Fan, and reached out to scratch Xu Fan’s itch. , Xu Fan giggled non-stop, his short legs and arms fluttered back and forth on the bed, and finally the little meat hand pressed one of Xu Fan’s hands and shouted in a milky voice: “Dad, don’t scratch, don’t scratch, Don’t scratch, don’t scratch me.”
Xu Zhao didn’t continue to scratch, he lay down with his arms around Xu Fan, told Xu Fan a story, and told Xu Fan that he fell asleep, he finally calmed down, and then he had time to think about Cui Dingchen, when he thought of Cui Dingchen, The hand held by Cui Dingchen was slightly hot.
It’s really worthless!
Xu Zhao scolded himself like this, but he couldn’t help but feel a little joy in his heart. The joy made him uncontrollably turn over and face Xu Fan’s little fleshy face, inexplicably felt that Xu Fan was asleep. It’s a bit like Cui Dingchen, he’s really crazy. He wanted to take care of his emotions, but the more he reasoned, the more chaotic his mind became.
On second thought, Cui Dingchen is about to go on a business trip. He can take care of his mood slowly. It doesn’t take a day to get it done. After a long time, drowsiness struck, and Xu Zhao followed him to sleep.
The next morning, Xu Zhao sorted everything out and rode a bicycle to take Xu Fan to the county seat. When he got on the big dirt road, he saw Xu Zuocheng’s vegetable greenhouse. It was really simple. to the county seat.
After coming to Fan Xiaodian to say hello to Father Cui, Xu Zhao first went to the steel mill to check out, then went to Jiangping Hotel to check out, and then took Xu Zhao to the county central hospital, took medicine for Father Xu, and then rode a bicycle to the East Street for dishes. When the market left, neither father and son heard the shouts behind them.
It was Zhou Xiangqian who called him.
Zhou Xiangqian came back from Xizhou in the morning and came to the county town on a bicycle to buy things. He did not expect to meet Xu Zhao. Although Xu Zhao rejected him, he still wanted to say hello to Xu Zhao, so he rode his bicycle to chase Xu Zhao. .
Xu Zhao stopped the car after arriving at the East Street Market. He didn’t plan to put Xu Fan down. He pushed his bicycle toward the market, and suddenly heard a shout behind him.
“Xu Zhao.”
Xu Zhao looked back and saw that it was Cui Dingchen, and immediately asked in surprise, “Uncle, why are you here?”
Cui Dingchen got out of the car, smiled and said, “I saw you on the way.”
Xu Zhao asked, “Are you going on a business trip soon?”
Cui Dingchen looked at Xu Zhao and nodded, “Yes.”
“Where are you going this time?”
“Go to Nanzhou.”
After Cui Dingchen finished speaking, seeing that Xu Zhao’s collar was a little crooked, he smiled and stretched out his hand to straighten the collar for Xu Zhao, Xu Zhao was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Xiangqian, who just got off the bicycle not far away, just happened to see this scene, his heart was astringent, his eyes fell from Xu Zhao to Cui Dingchen’s face, and then he was startled, this person, this person… so familiar, it seems Where have you seen it, where you seem to have seen it.
Where have you seen it?
