Chapter 286 Aunt
Chapter 286 Aunt
The next day.
Chen's house in Haishi, study.
Chen Jiawang, a wealthy man in his sixties, sat at his desk, staring at the computer screen and processing the work at hand.
His face was a little square, with fine lines on it, and the hair at his temples had turned white with age.
From the outside, he looks approachable and kind.
"Knock knock knock—" There was a knock on the door.
Chen Jiawang raised his head, rubbed his tired eyes, and said slowly, "Come in."
The book door was gently pushed open, but no one appeared.
Chen Jiawang lowered his eyes and saw his grandson, who was about the same height as the door handle. His expression became kind and he waved his hand and said softly, "Qiqi, come here, grandpa."
The little boy looks like a lucky doll, wearing denim overalls and carrying a small denim backpack on his shoulders. His little face is so chubby that people can't help but pinch it.
His name is Chen Zhaoqi, and his nickname is Qiqi.
A gifted child with mild autism who is very interested in mathematics.
Qiqi didn't say anything, but pushed the door open a little to reveal the face of his father standing behind him.
When Chen Jiawang saw his eldest son, Chen Ye, dressed in a suit and tie, he immediately withdrew his affectionate expression and asked calmly, "When did you come back?"
This eldest son has been worry-free since he was young. Not only is he good at studying, he is also good at fighting. In short, he can do anything.
The only shortcoming is that I work too hard and don’t take my body seriously at all. I wish I could just work 24 hours a day.
Because of the eldest son's hard work, he often neglects his family, so his relationship with his family is average.
Chen Jiawang sighed. Fortunately, his eldest daughter-in-law was kind-hearted, otherwise he would have been unable to live like this.
Chen Ye didn't know the worry in his father's heart, and replied calmly, "Just now."
"Did the work inspection go well?"
"smoothly."
After a few short conversations, the father and son had nothing more to say.
The atmosphere was a bit gloomy.
Their family probably has a natural tendency to have weak kinship, and everyone seems to be indifferent to each other.
Chen Jiawang took off his reading glasses, stood up, walked to Qiqi's side, and raised his hand to rub the top of the child's head.
Suddenly.
He thought of his second son and youngest daughter, and continued calmly, "What are your younger sister and brother doing recently?"
"It seems like Chen Hang is participating in a variety show." Chen Ye paused for two seconds and said uncertainly, "I heard he brought his younger sister with him."
During this period, Chen Ye was so busy with work that he had no time to care about what his younger brothers and sisters were doing. He only heard his assistant mention them once or twice, but did not pay much attention to them.
After all, he doesn't even have time to care about his own son, let alone his younger brothers and sisters who are still unmarried at such an age.
None of them are worry-free.
Chen Jiawang paused his hand on his grandson's head before speaking slowly, "Chen Hang is already old enough to not spend his days in the entertainment industry. I don't expect him to get married and have children, but at least he can have a proper job and not cause trouble for the family."
"Also, remind him to be careful and don't let him lead your little sister astray."
When mentioning his youngest daughter, Chen Jiawang's expression softened a little.
Chen Ye muttered in his heart: My little sister has been more opinionated than anyone else since she was young. If I don’t want to be led astray, who can lead me astray?
He thought so in his heart, but said calmly: "Okay, I understand."
Chen Jiawang thought for a moment and asked, "What variety show are they participating in?"
"I'm not sure. Let me check." Chen Ye said as his phone had already opened the search engine. "A lifestyle variety show called 'Brothers and Sisters, Please Take Your Place.'"
Brother and sister variety show...
What happened? Why didn’t anyone inform his elder brother?
Chen Ye's search ability was very strong, and he continued, "This variety show is live broadcast. Dad, if you have time, you can watch it."
Chen Jiawang's expression changed slightly, "No time."
People often say that distance creates beauty.
The main reason is that he is not used to paying too much attention to his children's lives. If he pays too much attention, he will get angry, and if he gets too angry, his life will be shortened.
He was a man who knew the times and did not want to make his already short life even worse.
Chen Ye: “…” It’s useless.
Seeing that there was nothing left to say, Chen Jiawang calmly said to the man, "I want to talk to Qiqi for a while, you can go out."
Chen Ye: “…”Okay.
Not wanting to offend anyone, he left the study in a very serious manner, closing the door behind him.
It is true that grandparents are close to each other.
Chen Jiawang loves his grandson from the bottom of his heart and tries his best to treat Qiqi's autism.
Over the years, there have been some results, but not much.
Qiqi still doesn't talk much and doesn't like to communicate with others.
Chen Jiawang reached out and took the hand of Qiqi, who was standing obediently, walked to the desk, and let Qiqi sit on his office chair.
He took out a copy of "Journey to the West" from the bookshelf behind him.
"Grandpa continued telling Qiqi stories. Last time, he talked about the Monkey King Sun Wukong going to borrow the palm-leaf fan..."
Qiqi doesn't have much curiosity about the world. He has heard many fairy tales and fables, but none of them seem interesting to him.
Only the story of Sun Wukong told by his grandfather could make him feel a little bit amused.
His little head rested on the edge of the desk, his hands casually placed on the table, and as he listened he began to rummage through the drawers.
If an ordinary person dared to do this, he would have been picked up and thrown out by Chen Jiawang.
In the whole family, only Chen Zhaoqi dares to do whatever he wants.
Qiqi lowered his head and searched, and pulled out an old laminated photo that was pressed underneath the drawer.
The photo is quite old and there are two people in it.
One is a square-faced boy, the other is a bright-looking girl.
Chen Jiawang stopped telling the story and stared at the photo in a daze.
The boy is him when he was young.
The girl is his sister, Chen Jiaqing.
Qiqi raised his head, looked at his grandfather, and pointed at the girl in the photo.
Chen Jiawang's eyes were filled with tears, and he smiled and said, "Qiqi, this is your great aunt, a very good person."
"If Qiqi sees her aunt in the future, remember to tell her that grandpa has been waiting for her to come home."
Chen Zhaoqi was young and didn't understand what an aunt was.
Maybe it's a nickname? He guessed.
He tilted his head slightly, also not understanding why his grandfather called his sister "Aunt".
The sister who said he had intellectual problems...
How did my sister become my great aunt? Why did Grandpa wait for my great aunt to come home? Why didn't my great aunt come home?
Xiao Qiqi couldn’t understand.
He secretly kept his grandfather's words in his heart.
