[First time] Burn it, brother-in-law!

The old man gave Ah Ci a look: "Who are you? Why are you here at our house?"

Last time, after all, he escaped by climbing out of the window, and the old man's reaction now is also expected by Ah Ci.He walked over calmly and showed his police ID: "Investigating a case is not considered breaking into a private house."

The old man snorted coldly: "What do you want to investigate? Do you suspect me of murder or drug trafficking?"

"Not at all." Ah Ci smiled, "The case of disappearance. Your son has been missing for several days."

The old man ignored him, turned his head and asked Ah Chu, "You called the police?"

Ah Chu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ah Ci, following the words of the two of them: "Yes, my brother is lost, can we not call the police?"

"That bastard, it's a good thing to lose it!" The old man waved his hands, turned his head and said to his second son in a serious manner, "We withdraw the case, and we won't look for it anymore!"

Ah Ci couldn't go on acting anymore, so he sat down next to his father, bumped his knee against his leg, and said, "Here's a step for you, let's get down. They're all on our own, so who are you going to show to?"

Lao Yang stared at him: "I said, if you dare to leave, I will sever ties with you! Since you have left, you should bear the consequences of leaving!"

"No! What you said is that if you dare to go out through this door, you will sever ties. He was there at the time and can testify!" Ah Ci pointed to his brother and said confidently, "Just because of this sentence, I deliberately didn't go through the door and took the risk. You climbed the window! It shows how much I value you."

"Don't argue with me, I don't like this!" The old man's tone was hard, but his expression was already relaxed.

"Hey, forget it, I'd better go back to the game." Ah Ci slapped his legs, stood up and walked straight to the door.

Ah Chu casually asked, "When will you be back next time?"

Ah Ci didn't turn around, but just raised his hand and waved it back: "Dad is annoyed when he sees me, I still don't come back to make him angry."

The old man gritted his teeth, and finally shouted: "Brat, come back to me!"

Ah Ci looked back at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "If I don't come back, are you still hitting me with an umbrella?"

"No, if you don't obey me again, I'll hit your elm head with an abacus!"

"I don't know how to count because you beat me when I was young!"

"Are you ignorant of your conscience when you say this? I regret that I didn't convince you when I was a child, or I can be so disobedient now..."

Ah Chu watched the two father and son bickering with a slight smile, and occasionally interrupted and joked a few words harmlessly.

For a while, the atmosphere seemed to be back to a few months ago.But it just seems that there is less trust between each other, and the original innocence can't go back after all.

After taking a shower, Ah Ci changed into his bathrobe and went back to his room.When passing by the study, I heard my father and Ah Chu still talking about things.

My father said: "House prices are still on the rise. After all, I have been in real estate for so many years and have accumulated a lot of experience and contacts. The risk is relatively small."

"But now the situation has changed, and there will be more and more policy restrictions, so we should switch to other projects." A Chu paused, and then said, "Of course, it's not completely withdrawn. I just don't think it's necessary to invest so much money Go in and disperse to other fields, which can reduce the risk.”

"Then what do you think you should switch to?"

"Entertainment media company. I met fans at the airport to pick them up, and the crowd was quite big. Later, I did a market research and found that small fans have a lot of spare money..."

Ah Ci was not interested in these things, so he went back to his room and closed the door, and he was clean.Regarding this, he had only two thoughts: one was that he also saw the screaming girl with bouquets of flowers at the airport, but he didn't see any business opportunities at all, he just wanted to avoid a stampede.It can be seen that I really don't have the business acumen of Ah Chu; the other is that the sound insulation effect of this house is really not ordinary.

After staying in the dormitory for a few nights, I was lying on the bed at home again, feeling extremely comfortable.Of course, the bed in the dormitory is fine, but his heart is not at peace. For a while, he wonders whether his father will be angry about his missing the family, and for a while, he thinks about the lies Ah Chu told... Slowly calm down, and he can understand Father's hard work and Ah Chu's difficulty.Today, when I came back to make peace with my father, I looked very calm on the surface, but I was actually uneasy in my heart.Seeing that the old man had calmed down, he also heaved a sigh of relief, and he didn't have to worry about the other things - after all, the family property was a burden to him, and it wouldn't hurt him if Ah Chu took it over.It's just that I suddenly realized that I didn't understand this seemingly innocent big brother at all, so I was somewhat disappointed.

……

On Saturday morning, as soon as Ah Ci sat at the dining table, he received a text message from Ronghua, "Are you awake?"

"I'm having breakfast, what's the matter?" Ah Ci replied to her text message with one hand, while holding the bread with the other hand and sending it to his mouth.

"My brother just gave me two tickets to the art exhibition. Are you free this afternoon? Do you want to go together?"

Ah Ci was about to reply to her again, but the old man couldn't stand it anymore, and knocked on the bowl with a spoon: "Can't you just have a solid meal? Do you understand table manners?"

"Oh, I just found out today that table manners are like this." Ah Ci put down his phone, grabbed the spoon, and tapped three times in a row just like his father.

The old man didn't speak, and drank the soy milk unaffected. When he got up, he said, "Come over after eating, and have a family meeting." After speaking, he sat on the sofa in the living room and watched the morning news.

I thought it was over after a few quarrels last night, but I didn't expect the matter to be over.Ah Ci looked at the old man's bald head and couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he whispered to Ah Chu who was eating silently: "What does he want to say? Give me a score."

Ah Chu pouted: "How could I guess that."

"What were you talking about last night?"

"About the new project. Why, are you interested?"

"Not interested in."

Five minutes later, the two sat beside Dad, one on the left and the other on the right.It is rare for an elderly person to be interested in holding a family meeting. Even if the son is reluctant, he should pretend to listen carefully to the teachings.

Mr. Yang cleared his throat and said, "The purpose of this meeting today is to tell you that our family is not a one-spoken family. If you have any ideas, you can discuss with me, and then I will make up my mind."

Ah Ci thought to himself: Isn't this still a word of speech?

Ah Chu was quite supportive of his father's seemingly democratic but actually authoritarian style: "Dad, I think this family meeting should be held regularly in the future."

The ass of this horse is so obvious!Ah Ci tried to hold back for a long time before he burst out laughing.

These words were very useful to my father. The old man said "Yes", and then took out a few materials and introduced the property under his name. After hearing this, Ah Ci was a little sleepy, so the old man made a concluding statement: " I'm almost sixty, and I don't have as much energy to manage these things as I used to. The family property is on the bright side, and it will be yours in the future, and I have some ideas in my heart. Logically speaking, to be fair, I should give half to each of you. However, Ah Ci has repeatedly emphasized that he does not want to participate in the management, so all the company affairs are left to Ah Chu to take care of. Are you all willing to accept such an arrangement?"

"I am willing." Ah Chu replied seriously.

Listening to the question and answer of the two of them, it was like a wedding in a church.Ah Ci felt chills for no reason: "I have no objection."

The old man nodded and said: "Then, Ah Chu should follow me to the company to familiarize himself with the environment. You have also learned about the several projects under construction at present, so there should be no problem. It is mainly because of my old relationships. Let you get in touch."

Ah Chu pursed his lips, and replied with determination: "I understand. Don't worry, I will adapt to the new environment as soon as possible and not let you down."

Ah Ci stared at his elder brother's lips in a daze.Although Ah Chu's lips were pursed into a line at this time, the line of the peak of his lips was still very clear.I always feel that the mouth is round and perfect only when it grows like this - he has looked at the mirror for so many years, and he has the impression that his lips should grow like this, thinner and thicker are not as pleasing to his eyes... Thinking this way, yes Not a little narcissistic?

"Ah Ci, Ah Ci! Are you listening to me?" Comrade Yang called a few times, seeing his youngest son returning to his senses in a daze, he felt a little upset, "I have already made a concession, you can continue to be a policeman But you must protect yourself when you are working, don’t keep rushing forward. If you get hurt again, I will cripple you and lock you in the room!” After speaking, he waved his fist symbolically as a warning.

Ah Ci was still concentrating on studying the lip shape problem at the last moment, and just came back to his senses, before he had time to sarcastically complain, he nodded unconsciously in response, but he was still slowly recalling what his father said just now in his mind.

The old man saw that he was so obedient, so he let this topic pass, and went directly to the next item: "Work matters are all yours. Marriage matters, should you listen to me?"

"What?" The topic changed so quickly that Ah Ci didn't react for a while.

"You and Yashu have played together since you were a child, and you know everything. You got married so that you can give me a big fat grandson."

When Ah Ci heard this, he became annoyed: "What era is this? You still come to arrange marriages! You can't just arrange this marriage with the He family for the sake of business cooperation! Otherwise, what is the difference from selling children and selling daughters?"

The old man was also a little angry, he patted the coffee table, and said: "Do you think I'm doing it for business? I'm not doing it for you, brat! I've met many people, and they have better vision than you! Even if Ya Shu is a little willful You can't get out of the circle, and you won't go out for adventure in pursuit of excitement! You are already worrying about being a policeman, and I will never allow you to marry another policewoman back, let me take double responsibility!"

Although the old man didn't mention Ronghua by name, the meaning behind his words was obvious - he knew that Ah Ci was dating a policewoman.Ah Ci thought to himself, he had only been in contact with Ronghua for five or six days, and only Ah Chu knew about it, except for his colleagues in the work unit.And the possibility of a colleague going to the old man to give him eye drops is extremely low. First, there is no chance, and second, it is unnecessary.Thinking of this, he immediately turned his head to stare at Ah Chu, who was also frowning at him.

"What do you think he is doing? Don't tell yourself!" The old man scolded Ah Ci, "You have never obeyed my wishes since you were a child. When I say go east, you have to go west. The most annoying thing Yes, if you hit the west wall and don't look back, you have to jump over the wall and continue walking! Tell me, can I hurt you? Besides, Yashu is beautiful and innocent, what is she not like that policewoman?"

Ah Ci said stubbornly: "Since you think everything is fine with Yashu, you can marry yourself."

"Bastard! What are you talking about!" The old man's expression changed with anger.

"Of course, on the premise that you are willing and she is willing, the marriage is independent!" Ah Ci persistently brought the topic to his father, "Although she is younger, I don't mind calling her stepmother instead."

"I mind." Ah Chu scratched his cheek with his fingers, thinking, "It feels a little weird."

Hearing their serious discussion, the old man felt a little headache, so he quickly brought the topic back: "Don't talk about such useless things! Ah Ci, you can discuss your marriage with Yashu again, but I will never allow you to marry a The tough and abnormal policewoman is back!"

"Don't worry about that." Ah Ci said dishonestly, "She is a gentle and funny policewoman."

"That won't work either! There is no need to discuss this matter!"

"Don't be so authoritarian, please! This is obvious professional discrimination!"

"Okay, my vocabulary is growing after living out for a few days! What's wrong with my professional discrimination? I even discriminate against you, what's the matter? I'm so old, I worked hard to bring you up, and this is how you repay Mine?" The old man stood up angrily, wishing he could punch his younger son twice, "If you don't know what's good and what's wrong, and you want to be nice to that woman, then don't recognize me as a father!"

Ah Chu hurriedly got up to help him steady, and persuaded him, "Dad, don't be angry, just speak up if you have something to say... Ah Ci, don't talk back, he has a bad heart..."

Ah Ci was originally angry because of Ah Chu's informant and his father's forced marriage, and when he heard Ah Chu persuade him from his father's point of view, he felt even more angry: "Don't pretend to be kind! You have been thinking about it for so long, don't you?" Is it just for today?"

Ah Chu was stunned for a moment, gritted his back molars and pressed the fire, and then said: "I know you are angry, but pay attention to your words! We are the relatives who care about you the most, you have the right to contradict Dad like this for an outsider ?"

"I'm not right about people. The reason is obvious. If you were the one who was forced to marry Yashu, would you agree?"

Ah Chu endured and endured, and said helplessly: "Why don't you understand? The conflict now is not whether to marry Yashu, but your attitude. You can't blindly reject well-intentioned advice just for the sake of a momentary mood. childish……"

I was naive, so I mistrusted you for so long!Ah Ci became more and more angry, and interrupted him directly: "That's enough! I don't want to hear what you say hypocritically anymore, can't I hide from you if I offend you? From now on, we will never mess with each other!" After finishing speaking He slammed the door cleanly and left.This family can't tolerate him more and more, the father and son brothers quarrel when they meet, it's better not to see each other.
