Xu Xingshu knew what his daughter was thinking. She wanted to go, but she couldn't bear it. She stood on his side and thought she was aggrieved for her father!
He stooped low and coaxed: "Dad's work isn't finished yet. Go and look after your brother for dad. He's the naughtiest, okay?"
Of course Nini couldn't say the word "good", but the twins had the same idea. Linlin said: "That's right, sister! Don't let dad worry about it. You see, he works overtime every day, he is so tired."
Zhong Qianqian said warmly: "Ni Ni, let's go together, I can live there."
Ni Ni then "reluctantly" agreed.
Xu Xingshu drove them back, with Zhong Qianqian sitting in the back seat, and the two children on the left and right.
It was the first time that Ni Ni was so close to her mother. She felt that her little heart was beating so hard that she didn't know where to put her hands. Her back was stiff and she was sitting more upright than in class.
Linlin was different. When she got in the car, she hugged her mother's arm and rested her head on her. She was very clingy.
Zhong Qianqian looked at Ni Ni, and tentatively reached out to grab her little hand on her knee. The hand shrank and was held by Zhong Qianqian. The body temperature blended, and Ni Ni slowly relaxed.
Xu Xingshu smiled and slowed down the car a little.
This time he was not as gentleman as he was when he sent her home for the first time that year. He parked the car and wanted to go upstairs together.
Zhong Qianqian held the child with both hands and said, "It's not necessary."
Xu Xingshu: "Of course it is necessary. I have to see if you have the ability to take care of them."
It was getting late, and Zhong Qianqian was afraid of delaying her children's rest. Now she just wanted to go back early, so she stopped talking nonsense to Xu Xingshu: "Let's go up."
Xu Xingshu frowned as soon as he entered the door: She lives in such a cramped place?
He didn't care about being polite or impolite, and walked around the room to look at her living environment, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes nodding.
Linlin also wandered around the room curiously.
"Wow, Mom, why are there photos of us here!"
He was talking about the oil painting given to Zhong Qianqian by Jiang He and Zhong Qianqian! It was hung on the wall by Zhong Qianqian!
Zhong Qianqian: "... someone else gave it to me..."
Xu Xingshu also looked at the oil painting. He recognized it at a glance as a painting by Ping Ping. In his heart, Hua Lai's sins became even more serious!
Linlin hugged her mother's arm: "Mom, actually you miss us too, right?"
Although Zhong Qianqian is an adult, she is still a little shy to admit her feelings.
In terms of emotional expression, she has always been vague, even worse than a child.
Her voice was a little soft: "...um..."
Linlin was so happy that she said: "Mom, let's take a photo together on the weekend. I haven't taken a photo with my mother yet. Let's take a family photo! Okay?"
Xu Xingshu looked at Zhong Qianqian and indicated with his eyes that she would agree to the child's small request.
Zhong Qianqian looked at him, then at Nini, who had expectant eyes: "Okay."
Linlin: "That's great, Mom!"
Zhong Qianqian looked at Xu Xingshu: "It's time for you to go back."
Xu Xingshu said with a smile in his eyes: "How can you sleep on this bed? Why don't you go home? There is a room at home."
Zhong Qianqian understood his intention: "I'll make do with it today, and I'll buy a bed tomorrow."
Xu Xingshu: "If you buy a bed, you won't be able to fit it in your house. Besides, the children are noisy. You can't work peacefully with them around. You go home..."
Zhong Qianqian interrupted: "I can arrange it myself, it's getting late."
Xu Xingshu reluctantly told the two children: "Listen to mother, I will have someone give you your schoolbags to take to school tomorrow morning."
Linlin said happily: "Dad, be careful on the road and try not to stay up late."
Xu Xingshu smiled and said: "You are sensible now, let's go."
A few minutes after she left, Zhong Qianqian said to the two children: "You guys play for a while, and I'll go down and buy you a change of clothes."
Linlin: "Let's go together!"
Zhong Qianqian: "Don't go, it's just downstairs, not far away. Do you want anything to eat?"
Linlin shook her head: "No, mom will be back soon."
After Zhong Qianqian went out, Ni Ni gave Linlin a white look: "Are you too spineless?"
Linlin was unconvinced: "You said I had no spine, and I also said you were a prude. Who said you missed her that day? Who held her hand today and didn't let go?"
Nini: "I... didn't. It was obviously her who came to hold my hand, and I couldn't shake it off!"
Linlin did not expose her arrogance, but said: "Look at this painting, she hangs it on the bedside, and we can see it every day. She misses us so much, but there is no daddy on it..."
Nini snorted: "They are about to get divorced. Why don't you have a father?"
Linlin became worried: "You said, they won't really get divorced. Will we be separated by then, one with dad and the other with mom?"
Nini: "Daddy and I!"
Linlin: "No conscience! This is our mother. She has been lonely enough after so many years alone. We have to stay with her."
Nini: "You want to accompany me, but they still think you are in the way. Otherwise, why haven't I come to you for so many years? Isn't it because I'm afraid of being stuck with you?"
Linlin said angrily: "Nonsense! She must have her own reasons. You see, she took the initiative to invite us to live here today, and now she even helps us buy clothes. Doesn't this love you enough?"
Nini: "You are the only one who is considerate!"
The two of them were quarreling with each other, and their faces turned red. Linlin was silent for a few seconds, sighed, and said quietly: "Sister, they can't divorce. I don't want to choose, and I don't want to be separated from you."
Ni Ni didn't say anything. No one wanted their good family to be split into two pieces.
Linlin: "Let's think of a way to prevent them from getting divorced!"
Ni Ni seemed reluctant, but asked: "What can we do about the adults..."
Linlin tilted her head and said "hmm" for a long time, then said: "Let's let mom have another sibling! Then mom won't be able to leave! We three children will definitely be able to keep her!"
Nini: "This...isn't good..."
Linlin: "Then do you have any other ideas?"
Nini: "Not really..."
Linlin analyzed: "We have to let mom go home first. Only when she has more contact with dad will she see the change in dad! Only then will the spark of love be sparked, and only then will there be a new crystallization of love. Finally, only then will she see the change in dad!"
Will stay! Don’t you think so?”
Nini: "You have watched too many dramas, and you talk in one way!"
Linlin: "Just tell me if this is the truth?"
Nini: "But they said they wanted to divorce today. Maybe they would divorce while we were at school..."
Linlin: "This is simple. We are not at home today. Dad must be sleeping at the company. Let's go back early after school tomorrow and hide his marriage certificate, ID card, household registration book and so on! How can they leave without documents?"
Ni Ni said "cut" disdainfully: "They won't reissue it?"
Linlin: "That's true...but it will take time to re-apply! Anyway, you have one purpose to remember: to create disturbances in divorce! Refuse to divide the family!"
Ni Ni nodded: "Yeah!"
After getting down to business, Linlin became relaxed again: "I really didn't expect to see my mother today! I'm so happy!"
Nini: "Little sticky bun!"
Linlin disagreed with her sister's ridicule: "You have to stick to her while she is here these few months, so that she will not be able to let you go! Besides, don't you think, you have the feeling of a mother, really
