Chapter 1

Today is January 29, 2022. I am sitting on the high-speed rail to Chenyang. I am from Northeast China and have been working in Shanghai for twenty years and are engaged in safety equipment research and development.

Although it is hard...

But at least it has stabilized in the imperial capital.

The past two years I accompanied my wife to Zhejiang for the New Year. Speaking of which, I haven't returned to my hometown for two years.

It should have been a happy thing...

But I can't be happy now

It's all because of my baby daughter Luo Xin, who is sitting next to me. She is sixteen years old and is in her second year of high school in her wife's class.

I felt angry when I looked at her.

Xinxin held the phone and was sending messages to someone he had been holding, and I reached out and snatched her phone.

What are you doing

Xinxin is anxious and wants to grab it

I want to see what you're talking about

I turned my body to protect my phone, but found that my daughter's phone was locked and I couldn't untie it for a while.

You can't watch it!

Xinxin seemed very anxious: Dad...you can't invade my privacy!

When she was so quarrel, everyone around her watched

I didn't have any trouble with the attack, but I just said angrily: I'll confiscate your phone for the time being

Why?! Xinxin said loudly

I'm your dad

I didn't give her any room to maneuver, so I took her phone in my pocket and continued: You have any reason, right? I ran back to Shanghai from Chenyang alone. Your grandfather was so old that he ran outside for you all night. In such a cold weather in the Northeast, have you considered the consequences?

Xinxin was depressed when he saw me mentioning this matter, and lowered his head and said: I know I was wrong.

You said why are you so ignorant...

I was about to continue teaching her a lesson when I saw Xinxin shed tears in grievance. It made me feel very distressed and I couldn't say anything to scold me.

Xinxin looks too similar to his wife. She is a standard beauty when she was young, with curved willow eyebrows, clear black eyes, and long eyelashes tremble slightly. Tears slid across her fair and flawless face and dripped from her pointed chin...

My wife wasn't so beautiful when she was young, right?

I don't think so by myself. Xinxin has been a child since he was a child, and everyone will praise him when he sees him. The little girl is so beautiful

During kindergarten, there were always a lot of boys around her. When she grew up, she even collected a drawer of love letters. She even put all the messy titles such as class beauty and school beauty on her.

Seeing her cute appearance, I really can't be angry

I sighed, I knew she did it on purpose. Since the sixth grade of elementary school, as long as she pretends to be aggrieved, no matter what mistake she makes, I will forgive her and coax her.

This time I can't forgive her like this, I have to let her suffer a little

But I really can't blame my daughter for 16 years, so I can only teach my wife to discipline me.

Actually, my daughter made no big mistake, I might have overreacted

Everything starts with a transfer student from my wife's class last semester. I met the transfer student later. He was a bit handsome, tall, and looked a bit like a Korean.

I didn't know what happened after just a month, but Xinxin fell in love with him early

Once when my daughter called him in the room, I heard it. I couldn't accept such a premature love affair with my daughter, and I couldn't accept it anyway.

I ordered my daughter to break up at that time. I thought my daughter had listened to it, but I didn't expect that the result was indeed developing secretly...

Then this happened. In order to see the boy, my daughter actually took the train back to Shanghai from Northeast China, saying that she wanted to celebrate his birthday...

The birthday is on the 30th

I was furious at that time

My wife and daughter went to Northeast China during the winter vacation...

I was still working in Shanghai, so I quickly took leave and took my daughter home. When something happened at home, I didn’t care whether the leader approved the leave or not, so I took my daughter to the train in Chenyang directly.

Dad, when can I return my phone to me?

Xinxin blinked and asked me

I said angrily: Don't think about it before the New Year

Xinxin flattened his mouth, looking like he was about to cry again

I turned my head and didn't look at her, I was afraid I would feel soft again

At this time, my wife's sister-in-law Zhou Hong called me and asked me: Did my daughter get it?

Received it, hey, it really won't make me worry

During the Chinese New Year, you are not allowed to move my baby Xinxin

Just spoil it, you see how you spoiled it to you

Hey, this is not something I can do. Everyone knows that Xinxin is your pearl in your hand. What is the popular saying now? It's just right to put it on you. Yes, perverted pet

Sister Hong, don't make me happy, I'm really annoyed now

Haha, OK, I won’t be kidding, where are you?

Just passed Beijing

Yes, it's rare to go home and enjoy the New Year's Day at home

OK

Bye, I'm hanging

Bye-Bye

I hung up the phone, this Zhou Hong is his wife's aunt

Although I am an aunt...

But in fact, Zhou Hong is only three years older than his wife

So she usually asks me to call him Sister Hong, who is a PhD from Beijing Post. After graduation, she opened an Internet security technology company, which is the company I work for now.

She used to be the technical director, and I was the deputy supervisor

Now the company has developed and its business is getting bigger. She concentrates on business. I have become the technical director, that is, the CTO.

My sister Hong and I have known each other for nearly twenty years and have been working together for more than ten years. Our relationship is not only a relative, colleague, but also a friend. It is also a professional relationship between teachers and students.

Sister Hong has excellent professional abilities and has taught a lot. She is the most important noble person in my life

Thinking of Sister Hong, I couldn't help but sigh. It's said that female doctors are prone to finding a partner, and Sister Hong is still single at the moment...

And she is already forty-two years old, afraid that her family will nag

Nowadays, Sister Hong will not go back to her hometown during the Chinese New Year...

Instead, stayed alone in Shanghai for the New Year

When I think of her being alone at home, I can't help but feel sad for her

I squinted my eyes and slept for a while. The high-speed train finally arrived in Chenyang. I took Xinxin to the countryside bus and took another two hours of bus. It was already 7 o'clock in the evening when I arrived in the town.

I was exhausted both physically and mentally. When I saw Xinxin still shrugging her face again, I became even more tired

Grandpa and grandma were waiting at the gate. When they saw their baby granddaughter, they just whispered a few times, just saying: It's good that they didn't lose it.

I thought to myself, this daughter is really spoiled

Our three brothers, I am the youngest. My eldest brother is doing decoration in Shenyang, and I am in Beijing

Only my second brother stayed in my hometown to drive a truck, and I have made some money over the years. In addition, my elder brother and I have spent some money and built a three-story building in my hometown.

My wife heard that my daughter and I were coming, and walked downstairs quickly from the upstairs. When she saw her daughter slapping her hands, she wanted to slap her.

I quickly grabbed her hand. By this time, I was the softest in my heart. I advised my wife: Let's forget it for the New Year, and wait until the New Year before we settle the accounts after the New Year

Then the wife put down her hand, pointed at her daughter and scolded: You will feel good in the future

My daughter was so angry that she seemed to be hurt, and she looked like her wife didn't admit her mistake at all.

His wife was so angry that she said: What are your eyes? Do you think you are right?

My daughter didn't say anything...

But the expression on the face is still the same, making people angry

The eldest brother walked over and said: Brother and sister are relieved, Xinxin is now in the rebellious period, and the New Year is coming, so let her go first

Grandpa and grandma also came to help...

My wife had no choice but to give up

My daughter was fine. Seeing that her relatives were talking to her, she sat down on the sofa with peace of mind and took off her coat leisurely.

I pulled my wife to the guest room aside, closed the door and said to her: Wife, what's wrong with you?

My wife stared at me with big eyes, and I hurriedly said: You are Xinxin’s head teacher. Xinxin is in love under your nose, but you don’t know.

I've said this...

My wife was suddenly guilty...

But he quickly said toughly: After all, aren’t you spoiling her too much, otherwise she would dare?

This is my problem, right

I admit it, I will correct it in the future

What's the use of changing now? Xinxin, can you still care about it now?

Isn't it up to you

What do you mean? My wife asked in confusion

I used to be too spoiled with her now it's a bit difficult to deal with now. Now you still have to do it.

Oh, you sing red faces and I sing black faces, right?

I don't mean that

I quickly explained that no matter what, this matter will happen because you didn't supervise well in school, and you... have this responsibility.

That's OK

My wife waved her hand: Don't feel sorry for me if I hit her later

When my wife said this, I was anxious again. I couldn't solve the problem without beating, so I still have to reason.

You're just appointing

My wife told me impatiently, she left with her hands

I could only follow her out of the door

My sister-in-law warmed up the food and asked Xinxin and I to have dinner.

Xinxin asked me while eating: Dad, when will I return my phone?
