Chapter 89 Father and Son (Part 2)
These two words are said very lightly, but they are dropped very hard!
When Li Chenan originally wanted to come, this Li Mansion had nothing to do with him.
Before this, he had never thought about returning to the Li Mansion, let alone recognizing his father.
It was not because of the original owner's resentment towards his father, but because he felt that he was just an outsider. Now that he had been kicked out of the house, he felt relaxed and at ease.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two months since I came to this world.
Two months is a short period of time in a person's life.
But these two months gradually made him realize that he was truly living in this world.
Especially the girl Zhongli Ruoshui suddenly appeared in his life, which gave him some expectations for the future.
So he wanted to make his business bigger, so that his life would be better in the future.
Of course, it was also to be Zhongli Ruoshui’s mother.
Just before this father came back, he still had not thought about getting along well with this father or returning to the Li family.
But after seeing his father's appearance and the guilt in his eyes, the originally cold string in his heart was suddenly touched.
He had never been a father in his previous life, but he also had a father in his previous life.
He knows the pride of being a father, and he also knows how fragile a father's heart is when he lets go of his pride for the sake of his children.
He could have easily broken this father's fragile heart, but he couldn't do it, and he didn't need to do that.
After all, the blood flowing in this body is still the blood inherited from him.
Li Wenhan was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard these two words.
Perhaps this son has not called him father for a long, long time, so that when he heard it now, he felt very strange.
Or maybe he had been looking forward to this title for a long time. The sound was lingering in his ears at this moment, but it still made him feel like he was in a dream.
His head lifted.
The expression on his face became more nervous, and his two slender eyebrows even raised slightly.
His eyes were a little wider than before.
While Li Wenhan was looking at him in surprise, Li Chenan stepped forward and held his arm!
As a result, the smile on his son's face fell naturally into his eyes.
His son's words were still very soft, but they instantly warmed his anxious heart like the early summer night wind.
"Father, please sit down!"
Li Wenhan swallowed and sat down.
Li Chenan sat opposite his father, poured a cup of tea, and handed it over with both hands.
"I'm coming back today. Firstly, I haven't been back for a while, and secondly... there are some things I need to talk to you about and listen to your opinion."
Li Chenan did not talk about the past that made both of them uncomfortable. This was a conversation between two men, and there was no need to express unnecessary apologies for each other's past rights and wrongs.
So he entered the topic directly, but it was not abrupt, but rather like a deeply affectionate father and son discussing a major family matter.
random.
nature.
Warm and smooth.
He used the word come back!
He said listen to your opinion!
This word and sentence made Li Wenhan so happy that his eyes gradually took on some other colors, and even his beard seemed to become energetic.
Mr. Hua Man Ting Hua had had several long talks with him before.
Hua Lao said that you may have lost sight of this son!
Hua Lao also said that your son is the hope of the third family of your Li family!
If you want to surpass the other two houses of the Li family... you should take your son back!
He had seen the song "Die Lian Hua" and the song "Qing Xing'er" given to him by Hua Manting. When he saw those two poems, he was more excited than anyone else.
And happier than anyone else!
He didn't know why his eldest son could suddenly compose such good words.
This is no longer important. What is important is that he knows that these two poems that can be included in "Ning Shi Ji Yuan 100 Chapters" are indeed written by his son!
That's enough.
This is enough to make him stand upright in front of his colleagues or the other two members of the Li family!
It's just a pity.
I am also very regretful and distressed.
His son was driven out of the house by his own hands. He wanted to take this son back, but he couldn't afford to lose face. He was even more afraid that his son would reject him without hesitation.
As for the Huapingchun brewed by his son, although he was eager to try it, he finally found it difficult to enter the tavern under the banyan tree several times when he passed by it.
The threshold was obviously very low, but in his eyes it was as high as a mountain.
Huapingchun was also brewed by his son, and now it has become a well-known wine throughout Guangling City.
It's just that it's a little too expensive.
The daily output is also too small.
Of course, in Li Wenhan's heart, no matter how good the wine is or how big the business is, they are far less than his son's talent and attainments in literature.
He held the teacup with both hands, and his hands were shaking a little, so that the tea in the teacup was rippling slightly.
He didn't seem to notice that the tea cup was still very hot.
He pondered for a moment before replying to Li Chenan: "You...what do you need to talk to your father about?"
He was careful when asking this question.
What Li Chenan heard was the timidity that still existed deep in his heart.
He was thinking of being a father, which is why in his heart, he still hoped that Li Chenan could recognize him as his father again, but he was very worried about it.
"That's right, I've built a brewery outside the city these days... It's still under construction, but it will be completed soon."
"The next step is to make a lot of wine. This wine will be sold in the market, and it will inevitably conflict with the Guangling Powder of our Huo family in Guangling City."
"I'm afraid this conflict will be a bit violent. What I mean is that after a period of time, my peach blossom wine may drive Guangling Powder out of the market. Then the Huo family will not sit still and wait for death."
"There will be some conflicts during this period. I'm not worried about anything, but after much thought, I am still worried that the Huo family will use some despicable means to harm you."
"So I also built a house next to the winery. Of course it's not as spacious as this one, but it's safer."
"I want to take you, your mother, and your sister to live here. What do you think?"
When Li Wenhan heard this, he felt a little nervous.
As an authentic Guangling person, he certainly knows how powerful the Huo family is, and even more aware of the low status of the Guangling Li family...o
So he stayed silent for a longer time this time so that he could think more carefully.
After all, this is his son asking for his opinion.
"... I think about it for my father, you, since you can be so knowledgeable... This is what my father once did... After all, wine making is a small way, and reading is the big way."
His voice was much lower when he said this sentence, "This is not what he once was as a father," but no matter what, this was him letting go of the dignity that a father and a scholar value most.
His words did not lose their order, but became smoother.
"There is an old saying that one loses one's ambition by playing with things. Can you, please, consider continuing your studies to get a better future? Brewing...just brewing a little bit in your tavern can support the expenses of your studies."
"If it's not enough, my father can stop drinking and support you more."
"how?"
Li Wenhan looked at Li Chenan, his eyes full of expectation.
Chapter completed!
