Standing in front of the snack bar was Boss Zhao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Although Mr. Zhao was thinner and older than before, Zhao Qingju still recognized her biological father at a glance.
"Qingju, why did you close the door and there was no movement?" Zhao Qingzhu said and walked out.
"Qingzhu." Boss Zhao muttered.
Seeing Boss Zhao as an uninvited guest, Zhao Qingzhu was also stunned.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Qingzhu did not ask "Why are you here?" but instead let the person into the house.
As soon as he came in, Zhao Qingzhu told the two clerks who were still cleaning to stop cleaning up and go home now.
Although I don’t know why, the boss said something and the two clerks left immediately.
"Sit down." Zhao Qingzhu said.
Zhao Qingju was a bit young after all, so she couldn't help but said: "What are you doing here?"
The mother and daughter have managed to live a good life, and the second sister will get married the day after tomorrow.
At this time, Boss Zhao, his biological father, came to see them, okay?
"Qingju, dad just wants to come and see you, he has no other ideas."
Zhao Qingzhu stopped his sister who was still talking and said coldly: "Since you are here, let's stay here for a day. I will buy you a ticket back tomorrow."
She didn't want to say any more unnecessary words.
In the past, she might have been a little resentful towards Boss Zhao, her biological father.
But now, after coming out to see the world, she felt that she could look at the people and things in the past calmly.
There is no resentment towards Mr. Zhao, his biological father, but it is absolutely impossible to get close to him. It is just that he has more blood ties than a stranger that cannot be cut off.
When Zhao Qinglan is away, it is Zhao Qingzhu who speaks best at home.
Zhao Qingju had been holding back a lot of words, but her sister stopped her, and she said nothing more except a few sideways glances.
The new store is almost done, but it can't be occupied yet, and the smell needs to be dispersed.
In fact, Zhao Qingzhu and the others don't understand either, even Zhao Qinglan has repeatedly emphasized that it is better to spread the scent more.
Seeing that neither of his daughters wanted to communicate with him, Boss Zhao was a little disappointed.
Looking around, he couldn't help but said: "Where is your mother?"
"You have already divorced my mother, why are you asking my mother?" Zhao Qingju retorted at him.
This time, Zhao Qingzhu did not stop his sister.
But she also explained, "Mom went to the eldest sister's place."
Boss Zhao was even more embarrassed when he heard about his eldest daughter.
To say who he owed the most to in the family, besides Sun, it was probably his eldest daughter Qinglan.
After Zhao Qingzhu explained, he didn't say anything else and took him to live upstairs first.
But before going up, Zhao Qingzhu called his sister to whisper in a low voice.
"Go and call the eldest sister and tell her, but tell her not to let our mother know."
"I know, second sister, I'll make a call right away."
She took her dog with her, took some change, and was about to go out.
But as soon as she left, she came back again.
Looking at Boss Zhao who was still standing there waiting, Zhao Qingju whispered, "Second sister, you should also be careful."
"I know, let's go quickly." Zhao Qingzhu smiled.
After Zhao Qingju left, the father and daughter went upstairs.
"You can just do it for one night, our conditions are limited."
"It's very good, very good, much better than mine." Boss Zhao said quickly.
What he said was true. Ever since the Zhao family was separated, he had been living in that house in the village.
The houses in the village where tools are kept are solid, but the conditions are not much better.
In addition to working in the fields to earn work points every day, he would listen to the chatter of the villagers when he was free.
He was much more silent than before and missed his wife and daughter more and more.
He thought about looking for his wife and daughter countless times, but firstly he didn't know where they had gone, and secondly it was not that easy to travel far away.
It wasn't until he accidentally heard the news about his wife from the party secretary's daughter-in-law chatting with others that he started planning to go out.
Maybe it was because his life was too miserable after he was separated from his family, or maybe it was because he just worked diligently and immersed himself in his work, which earned him a good impression and sympathy from the village party secretary.
After he begged the village party secretary, he got his wife's current address.
After borrowing some travel expenses and asking the village party secretary to issue him a certificate, he finally went out.
Sitting down on the clean bed, Boss Zhao didn't know what to say for a while.
Suddenly, his stomach growled.
Since we have taken in all the people, we won’t starve them.
Zhao Qingzhu had no joke. "I'll cook you a bowl of noodles. Just wait."
After Zhao Qingzhu left, Boss Zhao smiled bitterly.
He had already prepared for the worst-case scenario of his wife and daughter being estranged from him, hadn't he? Now that they can still live together, it's actually much better than he imagined.
Here, Zhao Qinglan and her mother were packing up the decorations at home when the phone rang.
Da Wa ran to answer the phone call.
"Mom, it's my aunt, looking for you."
Zhao Qinglan put down what she was doing and walked over.
"Hey, Qingju, it's me."
"Sister, dad is here."
"What?" Zhao Qinglan's voice became louder.
Fortunately, Mrs. Sun was busy making arrangements and didn't notice her.
"Sister, don't let mom know."
"Well, you say." Her voice also lowered.
"Just now, when we were about to close, I saw my father standing in front of the store. My second sister told him to stay in the store for one night and buy a ticket for him to leave tomorrow."
"Qingju, what is he here for?"
"He didn't say anything before he asked where mom was."
"Okay, I understand. Your brother-in-law will go to the city to pick you up tomorrow. I will go with him then. If he is safe and sound, then just do as your second sister said and send him away tomorrow.
, if he does anything excessive, remember to notify me immediately."
"I understand, sister."
Boss Zhao is here. How does he know where they are?
"Why are Qinglan standing there stupidly? Come here and stick this up with me."
"Hey, here it comes."
Zhao Qinglan quickly gathered her emotions and walked over.
The city is too far away, and the snack bar is not convenient. My sister is getting married from her home tomorrow, so her home shouldn't be well decorated.
But at this juncture, Boss Zhao is here, which is really disappointing.
In fact, it was also because Sun had contacted the village party secretary twice about the matter of their original registered residence.
Not only did the village party secretary have her address, but he also asked them how they were doing now. Mrs. Sun didn't brag about it, she just said that she was doing some business with the help of her eldest daughter, and her life was going well.
Mrs. Sun would never have thought that the village party secretary was quite tight-lipped. Her daughter-in-law had just gossiped about this matter with others, and even let Boss Zhao hear it.
In fact, the village party secretary also felt that it was pity for Mr. Zhao to be alone. After all, we all belong to the same village. If we seriously calculate it, we are still the same family for the previous generations.
If not, just give Mr. Zhao a letter of introduction to go out.
In the store, when Zhao Qingju came back from making a phone call, she saw her sister bringing out a large bowl from the kitchen.
"Qingju, I cooked some noodles. If you're hungry, eat them quickly."
They were busy with things in the store, and they hadn't even had a serious meal yet.
Zhao Qingzhu put the bowl on the table and went upstairs to call someone.
Boss Zhao looked at the photos displayed in the room, his eyes became dreamy.
There were photos of Mrs. Sun and her daughter, photos of Zhao Qinglan’s family, and even a full-moon photo of the third baby.
