"Yes, Dad, and Mom has nothing to do, so she feels particularly lonely. I advised Dad to plant flowers and go fishing, but he didn't like it very much." Xiaoqing looked a little worried.

Tingdong's heart moved, and he squeezed Xiaoqing's small hand gently. Her hand kept holding Tingdong's big hand and did not let go, as if she was afraid that if she let go, Tingdong would run away.

Tingdong said apologetically: "Xiaoqing, I'm sorry, it was my negligence. Uncle Ma has been home for two years. At first, I wanted him to have a good rest, but then I was so busy that I really forgot about him. Qing'er

,Uncle Ma is fifty-five years old this year, right?"

Xiaoqing shook her head: "Why are you blaming me? If it weren't for you, dad wouldn't have come out so quickly. Besides, if it weren't for you, dad would have suffered a lot over the years, and maybe we, mother and daughter, would have suffered too.

Living on the streets.

"You have done enough. Thank you for remembering my father's age. Tingdong, I should thank you. But I can't do more, I can only work hard.

"However, even this job was given to me by you, and you also gave me such a high salary. Why should I be dissatisfied?"

Tingdong could hear that there was a trace of sadness in Xiaoqing's words, and he was a little heartbroken. It should be said that except for the time when they first met, he had always had a good impression of Xiaoqing. He even said himself that he didn't

Exclude Xiaoqing.

However, over the years, his women have come one after another, but nothing has happened to Xiaoqing. Maybe what they lack is an opportunity, but objectively speaking, Tingdong did not treat Xiaoqing badly. Her treatment was the same as that of senior executives.

Same.

According to Pan Ruoxi, it's all because Xiaoqing is too reserved. If she were like her, the two of them would have been together long ago. Xiaoqing admitted Ruoxi's statement in her heart, but their origins and personalities were different, so

It is determined that their fate will not be the same.

Tingdong gently took Xiaoqing into his arms and said softly: "Actually, what I want to say is that I haven't cared enough about you these years, and even neglected you a little. You should blame me."

Tingdong's words suddenly touched Xiaoqing's sadness. Her tears flowed down silently, and she choked and said: "It's your fault, it's your fault. You provoke others and treat them so well, but just ignore them. I'm better than

If everyone else is bad, why are you ignoring me? Do you know how I have lived these years? You are a pest!"

The sad tears were like broken beads, and they were out of control. Tingdong knew that she had been holding it in for too long, and it might not be a bad thing to let it out.

He gently patted her thin back and coaxed her softly and said: "Cry, it might make you happy if you cry. Come with me to see Sister Xiaoyu later, and then we will come back to discuss it with uncle and aunt."

, let’s go to Spring City together, ask uncle to come out, and do something together.”

After crying for a while, Xiaoqing raised her head in embarrassment and saw that Tingdong's shoulder blades were wet. Xiaoqing smiled: "Wait for me, I'll wash my face, otherwise dad and mom will see me like this when they come back."

You look like you are bullying others."

Tingdong also laughed: "Qing'er, I'm not afraid. I was wrong. If uncle blames me, he will beat me up. As long as you and uncle are happy, aunt will be happy."

Xiaoqing looked at Tingdong affectionately: "How happy I would be if I always had you coaxing me like this!"

Tingdong nodded firmly and said, "Yes, I will take good care of you and coax you from now on, Qing'er."

"Can I understand that this is your acceptance and commitment to me?" Qing'er asked seriously.

"Okay!" Tingdong nodded and said affirmatively.

Xiaoqing threw herself into Tingdong's arms again with a "ouch" sound. As soon as the two kissed each other, there was a sound of a key being opened at the door.

Xiaoqing hurriedly pushed Tingdong away, but Tingdong followed her closely and grabbed her, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. However, there was no time to cover up the red eyes and the tears on her face.

The moment the door opened, Ma Shiju and Zhao Bo suddenly saw the handsome boy standing behind their daughter. They were all stunned. They even forgot to say hello and both looked at their daughter.

Tingdong smiled and bowed, saying: "Hello, uncle, hello, aunt!"

The two of them withdrew their gaze from their daughter's face and turned to Tingdong again. But at this moment, in addition to confusion, they were also a little surprised, because how could the attentive parents not see the strangeness in their daughter's eyes?

Looking at the wet stain on Tingdong's shoulder, the two couples who were over fifty seemed to understand something. They exchanged a knowing look, but Ma Shiju spoke first: "Mr. Zhou, is it so early? Xiaoqing is delaying work.

Right? You can just make a phone call, why bother to go there in person? It’s all her mother, and her health hasn’t been very good lately, haha!”

Tingdong smiled slightly: "Uncle Ma, you have a problem with me. Why do you call me Jay Chou? Aunt Zhao has never called me that.

"However, it's reasonable for you to have opinions about me. I really haven't cared about you enough in the past two years. No, I came here specifically to see you and my aunt. I hope you two can come out and help me, hehe!"

After listening to Tingdong's words, Ma Shiju's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head and said: "Forget it, Tingdong, please stop making fun of our old couple. What else can the old man and the old lady do? Hurry up.

Sit down, Xiaoqing, why didn't you pour tea for the guests?"

Tingdong sat on the sofa with Ma Shiju and his wife, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I am really not joking with you. Tingdong is not the kind of person who dares to joke with his elders casually. There is indeed something else to do here this time, but

Asking you and your aunt to come out is also one of my original intentions."

Just as Ma Shiju was about to say something, Zhao Bo stopped his wife with a smile: "Old man, after listening to Tingdong's words, it's not up to you to decide whether to go or not. Can the child kidnap you?"

Ma Shiju nodded.

Tingdong smiled and handed the tea that Xiaoqing handed him to Ma Shiju first. Xiaoqing smiled and said, "That's for you, Dad. Mom has her own teacup."

Tingdong nodded to express his gratitude, then put the tea cup in front of him. He waited until Ma Shiju and Zhao Bo took a sip of tea respectively before he took a sip of tea.

Observing Tingdong's actions, Ma Shiju nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Tingdong is still as polite and modest as when I first met him, without a trace of arrogance. Tingdong, after all,

You can be proud of your achievements. Looking at the world, I really don't think twice that you have achieved such great achievements at such a young age."

Tingdong shook his head and said, "Uncle, after experiencing so many ups and downs in life, I don't believe you can still look past these illusory so-called wealth, right?"

Ma Shiju smiled: "I have passed the age of destiny and take things for granted. However, you are young after all. Can you really regard wealth as a cloud? Then what is your pursuit? Can you tell me, an old man?

What?"

Tingdong smiled: "I came here just to chat with you. I was afraid you wouldn't welcome me, so I brought wine here to see if you were satisfied, hehe!"

Looking at the four bottles of Fenjiu and two cans of tea that Xiaoqing brought over, Ma Shi raised his eyebrows, looked at his daughter and said, "Qing'er, are you saying that dad likes this?"

Xiaoqing nodded: "Yes, but I didn't say it recently. It should have been five or six years ago. I didn't know he came this time. Otherwise, could I not tell you?"

Ma Shiju nodded and said: "I believe this is not a coincidence, right, Tingdong, with your current worth, it's not a big deal to bring me a cart of Maotai, but you didn't bring four bottles of Fenjiu to make me feel like an old man."

Feeling warm.

"Okay, wife, my daughter and you two will prepare two side dishes, and we will have two drinks at noon. Now, Tingdong, I want to hear you talk about the question I just asked you."

Tingdong nodded and said: "Uncle Ma, to be honest, I really can't regard wealth as a floating cloud, but I really don't value money very much.

"On the one hand, it's because I have money now, and on the other hand, it's because I understand that money can only be a means and not an end. Some people glorify making money as a career. Indeed, making money to a certain extent can only be regarded as numbers.

So people often forget that money is just a means and regard it as an end.

"Because many people can't think of a more profound purpose, money has to be their ultimate goal. I look down on these people. No matter how much money they have, they are slaves to money, bumpkins, and nouveau riche.

"Uncle, do you still think that I am humble and not arrogant?"

Ma Shiju smiled: "Tingdong, are you talking about uncle? Modesty and principles are two different things. Modesty cannot lose principles, and arrogance does not mean arrogance. I know that you are a child who cannot go along with others. Otherwise, we wouldn't have done it back then.

So embarrassed.

"However, after going through so much, I finally figured it out. You are right, what are power and money? They are means rather than ends.

"A person pursues different goals and has different goals in life, which determines his different tastes and the paths he takes. Unfortunately, uncle, I realized this too late."

After speaking, Ma Shiju sighed and took a sip of tea.

Tingdong also raised his cup and took a sip of tea, then looked at Ma Shiju with a smile and said: "Uncle, as long as you figure it out, it's never too late. You should know that Mayor Han, also known as Grandma Han Qiaoyun, he

You know what to do now, right?"

Ma Shiju nodded, lit a cigarette, took a sip, and said slowly: "Of course I know, the old lady is always strong and strong, and she uses her remaining energy, which is admirable! Tingdong, could it be what you just said..."
