Almighty Dad

Before Liu Mingda got off work, he sent a message to Hu Xialan to bring Wang Peining back for dinner in the evening, and asked her to prepare a bigger dinner and cook some of Peining's favorite meals.

Seeing his message, Hu Xialan shifted her gaze to Han Ze who was helping Han Shutao organize the bookcase, with a troubled look on her face, Pei Ning likes spicy food, and she doesn't like spicy food. Every time she comes over, she will make a few spicy dishes But Han Feiyu and Han Shutao can't eat spicy food, they frowned when they saw peppers.

If Lao Han didn't tell her to cook all the dinners according to Han Feiyu's brother and sister's preference, she could just make the dishes spicy and spicy, and he couldn't say anything, but Lao Han has already explained that the two children can't eat spicy food, so let her cook lighter. What would he think if she made the dish spicy again?

Although these were trivial things, Hu Xialan felt that the life of not being able to follow one's inclinations was really aggrieved. Since Han Feiyu and Han Shutao had already moved out, why did they move back and disturb their lives? If they don't come back to live, how can there be so many things?

Han Ze cleaned up the study room, patted the dust off his hands, and walked out. Hu Xialan said hesitantly, "Old Han, Pei Ning will come over for dinner tonight."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Han Ze hesitantly.

Han Ze looked at her puzzled, and said indifferently, "Come on, just come, you can prepare a few more dishes, isn't it all right?"

Hu Xialan thought about it, she should try it out, she asked: "Pei Ning likes spicy food? Feiyu and the others can't eat spicy food."

Han Ze laughed and said: "What a big deal, Pei Ning will come to the house five or six times a week, and you cook spicy dishes for her every time, girls love beauty, eating too much chili can easily get angry, and the face I have acne and pimples on my skin, and I eat light food once in a while, it doesn’t matter. I remember that you also liked spicy food in the first two years, and your blood fat was a bit high. Didn’t you eat spicy food? You can see that you eat too much chili, yes Not in good health."

Hu Xialan looked at Han Ze in disbelief, but she didn't expect Han Ze to say that. She thought he would at least say, just come and prepare some spicy dishes. But he said that it didn't matter if he had a light meal now and then.

Of course it doesn't matter, it's just a meal, what effect can it have? Since it has no effect, why can't Han Feiyu and Han Shutao be wronged, why must Pei Ning be wronged? Pei Ning is a guest after all, isn't he worried that the girl thinks too much?

She felt sour and uncomfortable. After all, the Han Feiyu brothers and sisters are still the children of Lao Han. Now that he is old, he sees the desolation of the neighbors without children, and thinks of the benefits of children. Please them.

But Pei Ning made her wronged before she entered the door, what should the girl think? Or is he not his own son, and doesn't care about the attitude of his future daughter-in-law?

She secretly glanced at Han Ze, seeing that his face was as usual, she breathed a sigh of relief, she knew how old Han treated Mingda all these years, thinking of how many times Pei Ning talked back to Old Han, Old Han felt that Pei Ning was squeamish and worried about Pei Ning Ning bullied her, presumably she didn't say anything, but she still had a little opinion of Pei Ning in her heart. For a moment, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and it was difficult to distinguish.

Mingda and Mingkai are only two words away. Her two children are so capable, I don't know how many times better than Han Feiyu and Han Shutao. It would be great if they were the sons of Lao Han.

Han Shutao made the bed, took a shower, changed into home clothes, and went downstairs. Han Ze and Hu Xialan were sitting on the sofa chatting. Han Ze gave Hu Xialan a wink. Hu Xialan blinked. Does Shu Tao like to eat apples? We brought back all the fruits we bought in the morning, so you can peel one for her."

The smile on Hu Xialan's face was slightly suppressed, and she paused and asked in a warm voice: "I don't know if Shu Tao wants to eat fruit now?"

Han Ze smiled and said, "Ask her if you want to eat it." He looked at Han Shutao who was going down the stairs, and asked carefully, "Shu Tao, do you want an apple? Let Aunt Hu peel one for you? "

Han Shutao glanced at them, and said with a smile: "What kind of fruits are there in the refrigerator?" He strode to the refrigerator, opened the refrigerator, and saw that there were red grapes in it, she took them all out, and asked, "Stupid Old man, bring me a fruit plate."

When Hu Xialan saw the red grape in her hand, her eyebrows twitched. The red grape was bought for Pei Ning, and she ate it instead. She couldn't help feeling depressed. She knew it was a trivial matter and she shouldn't be angry. , but thinking that she will live with Han Feiyu brothers and sisters in the future, this feeling of depression may happen all the time, she can't help being irritable, and she can't help but want to drive out the person who broke into her life and disturbed the peace of her family, However, she couldn't do that because the person who broke in was more qualified to live in this home than her child.

With a smile on his face, Han Ze helped his daughter wash the red grapes with a fruit plate. He casually asked, "Do you also like red grapes?"

Han Shutao thought of Hu Xialan's expression when she took out the red grape just now, and couldn't help being in a good mood. He called Dad, and Han Ze was even happier. Seeing his expression, Han Shutao just said "Dad", is he so happy? She raised her eyebrows and said, "Dad, not only do I like red grapes, I also like oranges. I just saw oranges on the tea table. Did you buy them for me?"

Han Ze was stunned, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, I bought them for you. Your Auntie Hu knows you like grapes and oranges, so she specially buys big ones and fresh ones."

Han Shutao said: "Really? So Aunt Hu is really kind to us brothers and sisters."

Han Ze glanced at her: "That's for sure. You have never believed it, and you are still arguing with me."

Han Shutao said generously: "Okay, I won't quarrel with you from now on. Although I won't quarrel with you, we won't call Aunt Hu and mother."

Although I want to come back to watch a good show, I still have to make it clear what I have to say, and I can't let them have too much expectation.

Han Ze nodded her forehead and said, "You're full of thoughts. You've been calling me aunt for so many years, and no one will force you to change your words. Just remember to respect your aunt Hu, it's better than anything else."

Han Shutao promised with a smile, and her tone had a deep meaning: "We must respect Auntie, so don't worry."

Han Ze sighed: "You brothers and sisters are finally sensible."

Han Shutao smiled and said nothing, are you sensible? Maybe, after all, he has grown up and knows how to deal with the enemy.

...

After Liu Mingda got off work, he made an appointment with Wang Peining to meet at the gate of Boya Xinyuan. When Wang Peining arrived, Liu Mingda was already waiting for her at the gate of the community. He said softly, "Before I got off work, I sent a text message to my mother. Last night, I In a daze, I heard Dad tell Mom that I want to buy shrimp today, don’t you want to eat spicy shrimp? I wonder if Mom made it for you? "

A sweetness rose in Wang Peining's heart. She and Mingda had been in love for nearly ten years, and the passion had long since receded. It was not only Liu Mingda who supported her to continue, but also Hu Xialan, a good mother-in-law. Many married female colleagues in their company, In the words, it can be heard that the usual relationship with the mother-in-law is not good. She can meet a mother-in-law like Mingda's mother, and she doesn't know how many blessings she has cultivated in her lifetime, just to be able to eat the meals cooked by Mingda's mother, she will not break up with Mingda.

She smiled and said, "It's okay if there is no spicy shrimp. Every time I come to my aunt, I will cook a few of my favorite dishes, and today must be no exception."

Liu Mingda said proudly: "That's right, my mother doesn't have a daughter, but she treats you like a daughter. After we get married, I don't have to worry about being a sandwich biscuit."

Wang Peining nodded in agreement. She was confident that she could get along well with Mingda's mother. After all, Mingda's mother was a gentle woman, and she didn't know how to argue and get angry with others.

The two talked and laughed, and walked to the door of the house hand in hand. Liu Mingda did not ring the doorbell, but took out the key and opened the door directly. When he opened the door, he saw Han Shutao who was leaning on the sofa and eating oranges, and he paused slightly. Wang Peining met Han Shutao, she smiled and said, "Shutao is here."

Han Shutao looked back at them: "This is my home."

The smile on Wang Peining's face froze, Han Shutao was right, this was her home, it was normal for her to come back, she was the guest, her words seemed ridiculous.

Liu Mingda saw that his girlfriend had a bad face, he shook her hand, looked at Han Shutao, and wanted to say something, but Han Shutao had already turned his head away from the two of them, his eyes were fixed on the TV, and he was holding a grape in his hand. While eating, she was completely focused on the TV. Maybe it was because the plot was funny, so she laughed alone there.

Liu Mingda and Wang Peining sat awkwardly on the other side of the sofa. Han Ze came out of the kitchen, saw the two of them, and said with a smile, "Mingda and Peining are back?"

Liu Mingda and Wang Peining nodded, Han Ze sat on the sofa, looked at the girl who was still eating fruit, and frowned: "Eat less, we will eat later, your Auntie Hu made a lot of dishes that you and your brother love to eat, I won't be able to eat later."

Han Shutao glanced at Liu Mingda and Liu Mingda out of the corner of his eye, rolled his eyes, put down the remote control, moved his butt, moved to the side of Han Ze, hugged his arm, and said pitifully, "Dad, you know that too. My brother and I are usually busy with work, so how can we have time to buy fruit? I haven’t eaten such fresh red grapes and oranges for a long time, so I can’t help but eat more.”

Han Ze felt distressed, but he said unforgivingly, "Who told you to live outside? You deserve it!"

Han Shutao said weakly: "I will never move out again. Dad, don't think our brothers and sisters are annoying."

Han Ze patted her on the shoulder: "As long as you are obedient and don't fight against me everywhere, I don't think you are annoying."

Han Shutao glanced at Liu Mingda and the two, and complained in a low voice: "Dad, when did I fight against you? Besides, there are other people here. I am so old, can you save me some face?"

Han Ze looked at Liu Mingda and Wang Peining amusedly, and said, "Peining, don't mind, Shu Tao has been such a spoiled child since she was a child, and she was spoiled by her grandparents, and she is even more tempered than you. Can't even say a word."

Han Shutao pouted, but said nothing.

Liu Mingda and Wang Peining lowered their heads slightly when they heard what he said. Liu Mingda clenched his fists. This is the difference between his own and his non-biological. He never dared to act like a baby in front of his father, while Han Feiyu and Han Shutao were arrogant and rebellious. , as long as they change a little, they can get Dad's forgiveness, but they have to carefully maintain their image in front of Dad for more than ten years in order to get a little bit of love from him.

Han Ze looked at a few people with a smile and said, "Mingda, your younger sister Shu Tao and younger brother Fei Yu are going to move back. Now the house is lively. Having more children is good for having more children. You don't have to worry about me and your mother. It doesn’t matter if you buy a house far away from someone to take care of you... It won’t happen in our house that Lao Chen passed out at home and no one knows about it.”

Liu Mingda: "..."

Liu Mingda felt as if he had eaten mouse feces, but on his face he not only pretended to be a normal person, but also smiled, which couldn't make him more depressed.

The smile on Wang Peining's face froze for a moment, but she didn't marry in, and she didn't feel as deep as Liu Mingda, so she still felt uncomfortable. She smiled stiffly and said, "Nowadays young people don't like to live with their parents. I didn't expect Shu Tao and the others did the opposite."

Han Shutao calmed down and said: "Our house has a lot of houses. Thinking about living with my parents for a while, I feel bored, so I just move out."

Han Ze's face changed according to her words, and when Han Shutao finished speaking, he hurriedly said: "Why do you feel bored living at home? When you were young, your father took care of you because he was afraid that you would do something wrong. Now that you are all sensible, I can also learn to be considerate of your Aunt Hu, the family is harmonious and beautiful, I don’t know how happy I am, and I won’t be annoying.”

Han Shutao glanced at Liu Mingda, and found that his expression was as ugly as eating shit. He was in a good mood, and said seriously: "Dad, my brother and I used to blame Aunt Hu by mistake. I didn't expect her to love me so much. You know I like to eat red grapes and oranges, and I even went to buy them for me, don't worry, we will understand her difficulties in the future, try to understand her, and treat her as family."

Han Ze was relieved, and said, "If you can think this way, Dad will be satisfied, which means that you have really grown up."

Liu Mingda is no longer in the mood to think about who bought the oranges and red mentions for. His mind is full of Han Feiyu and Han Shutao moving back to live. nanny? He can also see that Han Shutao is not as stupid as he was when he was a child, but now he knows how to please his father, and everything he says is what his father likes to listen to. Obviously, he has become smarter after several years of training outside.

On the contrary, Wang Peining was a little displeased, she knew very well that the red grape was definitely bought by her aunt for her to eat, and after looking at it, there were only bare grape branches without a grape on it, secretly thinking that her sister-in-law was indeed a deadly enemy.

Hu Xialan brought the dishes to the dining table, looked at several people with a smile, and asked, "What are you talking about, are you smiling so happily?"

Wang Peining thought, only Uncle Han and Han Shutao are laughing, she and Liu Mingda are bleeding in their hearts, are they still laughing? They are not so broad-minded.

Liu Mingda thought, even if his heart was bleeding, he couldn't show it in front of his mother, otherwise how uncomfortable would his mother be?

Han Shutao took Han Ze's arm, and Han Ze smiled and said, "I'm saying that Shu Tao is sensible and understands us as parents, but she also said that she wants to treat you as a family member, which is not sensible."

Hu Xialan's heart jumped, but she smiled even more happily. Han Shutao said that she wanted to treat her as a family member, but she couldn't laugh happily. After all, in Lao Han's heart, she always felt regretful that the two children didn't like her. Often sad about it.

Seeing his mother's expression, Liu Mingda felt even more uncomfortable, his mother was forcing a smile!

Seeing that Hu Xialan was happy, Han Ze said again: "I was still suggesting to Mingda just now that Boya Xinyuan is far away from where they work, and they can buy a house closer to their company to avoid the inconvenience of going to work."

Hu Xialan said angrily, "You can buy a car."

Han Ze was overjoyed, and asked in surprise, "Mingda bought a house, can he still have money to buy a car?"

Hu Xialan choked, Mingda has no money to buy a car, don't you? She smiled and said, "Our family has never had a car, so it's inconvenient to go out. Old Han, have you never thought about buying a car?"

Han Ze paused, but Yuan also had a driver's license, so it was really inconvenient to go out without a car. He smiled and said: "If you buy a car, you can buy a car. Anyway, I don't have a car at home."

Hu Xialan was also very happy. After buying a car, Mingda didn't need to take a taxi to and from get off work.

Liu Mingda was overjoyed, from yesterday's house problem to today's knowing that Han Shutao and Han Feiyu are going to move back to live, there is finally something that makes him happy.

Wang Peining is also a little happy, Mingda's family bought a car, and they can drive the car to go out on dates on weekends. She asked enthusiastically, "Uncle Han, how much price do you plan to buy?"

Liu Mingda was also quite interested.

Han Ze pondered, and Han Shutao smiled and suggested: "Dad, I like off-road vehicles, why don't we buy an off-road vehicle?"

Hu Xialan, Liu Mingda, and Wang Peining changed their expressions. When they heard that Han Ze agreed to buy a car, they were so excited that they forgot that Han Shutao was here. When they heard her words, their hearts couldn't help but raised their hearts, and they looked at Han Ze. .

Han Ze smiled, since my daughter likes off-road vehicles, I will buy them. Just about to agree, Hu Xialan, who understood his expression, quickly said, "Doesn't Shu Tao have a car?"

Han Shutao curled his lips and said, "Auntie, I've been driving that car for many years, and when I bought it, I didn't have any money. It was the money my grandma left me. That car only costs 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. I’ve been wanting to switch cars.”

Han Ze frowned and said, "You bought that car when you were in college, right? It must have been ten years ago? It really should be replaced."

Han Shutao smiled and said, "Dad, anyway, I live at home, so I'll buy an off-road vehicle. I'll drive it. When you want to go out, it's easy to use the car."

Han Ze had nothing to disagree with, and he didn't go out often, so he said, "Okay, I'll buy you an off-road vehicle."

Hu Xialan said with a smile: "Old Han, the car can be driven before it breaks down. Is it a waste to buy an off-road vehicle? Our family is not a wealthy family. Isn't it good to spend money like this?"

Han Ze looked at Han Shutao, Han Shutao turned his face away, and Han Ze looked at Hu Xialan helplessly, and said with a smile: "This child is really spoiled, she said she wanted something when she was young, she had to, and if she didn't, she wanted it." I lost my temper, now I am getting older, although I am sensible, but my temper has not changed much, since the child wants an off-road vehicle, buy it for her, whoever made her grow up has such a strong temper, I don’t know how to deal with it if I don’t buy it for her I'm angry."

Han Shutao smiled, with a look of anger on his face: "I don't want to be angry with you, it hurts my body."

Han Ze shook his head, amused: "You child."

Hu Xialan gave Han Ze a wink, Han Shutao cut her voice when she saw her movement, Han Ze followed Hu Xialan into the kitchen, Hu Xialan said: "Old Han, didn't you say, let the children be self-reliant? Don't let them think that parents can Rely on, you want to rely on your parents for everything, lest they develop a temperament that is not enterprising and lazy?"

Han Ze nodded and said with a smile: "What am I supposed to do? Although it is now said that men and women are equal, whether there is equality or not, we all know that Shu Tao is a girl, and she was spoiled when she was young. She's twenty-eight, and she's going to get married in a short time. Who knows what kind of husband's family she will find in the future? When she's at home, let's satisfy her as much as we can. This child has never suffered, and now she is Be sensible, she just wants a car, let's buy it."

Hu Xialan opened her mouth, and finally said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of spoiling her? Girls, it's better to be more virtuous. If you spend so much money, your husband's family will not like it in the future. It will be Shu Tao who will be harmed. I know I am a stepmother. You You will feel that I don't want to spend money on my children, but in fact I am..."

Han Ze interrupted her, and said with a smile on his face: "Actually, you are thinking about the children, I know. You are afraid that Shu Tao will be rejected by her husband's family after she gets married in the future, but why don't you think about it, our family Shu Tao There are several houses, if the in-law's family you are looking for doesn't have many houses, how can you have the nerve to dislike Shu Tao?"

At that moment, Hu Xialan's heart seemed to be pinched, and the pain was unbearable. Han Shutao only had one house, where did he get several houses? Will Han Ze give her some houses at home? She is a girl, how can it be.

She squeezed out a smile, and asked uncomfortably, "Shu Tao only has one house?"

Han Ze smiled and said: "Mingda can buy a house with his own ability, and Ming Kai is still a graduate student, so he must be able to buy a house with his own ability. The two brothers can make money, I don't worry about them, Shu Tao and Feiyu Those who are not as capable as Mingda and Mingkai, who spend money lavishly, give them a few houses at home, lest they go hungry when we are gone in the future."

Hu Xialan swayed, and she couldn't help but said: "But Ming Kai hasn't graduated from graduate school yet, and whether he can find a high-paying job in the future is still uncertain. Besides, he also has a girlfriend. He has no house, and the girl is willing to marry him. ?"

Han Ze reassured: "You don't have to worry about that. I supported Ming Kai's graduate studies when I saw that he was studying well. After he graduates, he will definitely be scrambled for by his workplace. You don't have to worry about his salary." , I believe you can buy a house in less than a few years.”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "I regret it very much now."

Hu Xialan wasn't in the mood to care about what he regretted, she just felt blocked in her heart and couldn't breathe. It's fine if Mingda doesn't have a house, and Mingkai hasn't gone to work yet, so Old Han doesn't even think about him. Not only that, but he also wanted to buy a car for Shu Tao. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and the more she couldn't help but want to say something. She said, "Old Han, I've been with you for so many years, Mingda Mingkai, you can't Regardless of them..."

Han Ze frowned slightly, and said, "Xia Lan, what's wrong with you? Ming Da and Ming Kai called me Dad, that's my son. How could I ignore them? I've considered their futures one by one. You can't miss the day, so don't worry about it."

Hu Xialan whispered: "Then why are you?" Give them nothing?

Han Ze frowned, unable to hear what she said, and said: "I regret it very much now. When Feiyu and Shu Tao were young, I didn't care about them, which caused them to spend money lavishly and have a domineering temper. But they Now that we are older, it is very difficult to change their personalities. We can only follow them and slowly change their impression of us. When they feel that we really consider them, they will accept our point of view, otherwise we will be with us. The relationship with the children will only get further and further away, and we really don't need to expect them to control us in the future."

Hu Xialan said: "Isn't there Mingda Mingkai?"

Han Ze said disapprovingly: "They are all my children, how can I put all the responsibility on Mingda and Mingkai, it's not fair to them."

Hu Xialan thought, if you distribute the house to Mingda Mingkai, they won't feel it's unfair. However, she really can't say this. The house was allocated by the demolition and relocation of the old house of the Han family, and the old house of Lao Han and his ex-wife. Mingkai's house, she really couldn't take the initiative to ask for it, otherwise her psychological image in Han Ze would definitely collapse.

She did not give up and said: "Children should let them learn to be self-reliant, and they can't take care of everything for them, otherwise they will all want to rely on their elders, and after a long time, they will stop making progress. You didn't say that Is it?"

Han Ze nodded. He was telling the truth. He smiled and said, "You also know that Shu Tao and Feiyu spend a lot of money. We didn't care about them for so many years. Didn't they survive? Leave them a house , just in case. They are not as prudent as Mingda Mingkai, nor are they as thrifty as Mingda Mingkai. I have to admit that parents worry more about naughty children. You don’t think about everything for them, just in case We're gone, they're in trouble, they don't have any money, at least they have a house?"

Hu Xialan took a deep breath: "Ming Da Ming Kai..."

Han Ze said proudly: "Mingda and Mingkai are diligent and thrifty, they can hold money in their pockets, so don't worry about anything in the future, they are all my children, I have thought of them for them."

Hu Xialan felt as if her throat was tightly strangled, and she couldn't say anything. She went to the restaurant with the fried dishes in a numb manner. Standing in front of the dining table, she said without energy after a long while, "Shall we eat?"

Han Ze looked at her worriedly: "Xia Lan, do you have a cold? Yesterday I noticed that your complexion is not quite right. If you feel uncomfortable, you should go to the doctor..."

Liu Mingda looked over with a solemn expression.

Hu Xialan twitched the corner of her mouth and said in a low voice, "It's nothing serious, but it's just a headache. There is medicine at home, and I'll take some medicine after dinner."

Han Ze said worriedly: "If you feel uncomfortable, you must say so."

Hu Xialan hummed. Liu Mingda heaved a sigh of relief, as long as his mother wasn't so angry.

Han Shutao hung up the phone and said with a smile: "My brother's company has dinner, he won't come back for dinner tonight, let's eat first, don't wait for him."

When Hu Xialan heard Han Shutao's words, she couldn't wait to step forward and ask, why did you move back and hurt my eyes? You live outside, we have nothing to do with each other, okay? Thinking of the loss of her son's share in the house and car, when she saw Han Shutao, she felt crazy hatred in her heart. She had to smile on her face, she felt that if this continued, she would definitely go crazy.

Han Ze said: "Since your brother is not coming back, let's have dinner."

After washing, Wang Peining walked to the dining table, her face changed slightly when she saw the dishes on it, she smiled slightly, and said, "Today's dishes are lighter."

Hu Xialan glanced at Han Ze, smiled and said: "Your Uncle Han said that eating too much chili is easy to get angry, and you have acne on your face. I thought you girls love beauty, so I made it lighter. Don't you like it? "

Wang Peining pursed her lips and said with an unnatural smile: "I like it, why don't I like it, no wonder I have acne on my face these days, it turns out that I ate too much chili and got angry."

Han Ze said: "Xia Lan, from now on, you should not cook spicy food, but light food, so as not to cause acne on the child's face."

Hu Xialan really didn't want to speak, the house and the car are gone, and now she can't even cook a favorite dish for her future daughter-in-law? But she can only respond: "Okay, I will pay attention."

Wang Peining: "..."

Can she take it back? Can you still be a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law happily?
