Chapter 17: A Beautiful Hairpin

Deng Xinhua sincerely stated that he would break away from his original life trajectory; Deng Xiaoqi became cheerful again because of effective communication with her mother.

The New Year has passed, and the students will soon usher in the winter vacation.

Qian Sanyi and Lin Miaomiao still came to the reading room of the school library for rest and tutoring during their lunch break.

Lin Miaomiao secretly took out the snacks to eat. Because there was a teacher on the move to check, she quickly took off the hairpin and pinned it to the opening of the snack package.

Qian Sanyi was tutoring her when a classmate came looking for her; "Lin Miaomiao, the radio station director is looking for you!"

"Oh, okay, okay." Lin Miaomiao hurriedly packed her schoolbag, said goodbye to Qian San, and ran to the radio station.

She left in a hurry, but left her snack bag with her pink hairpin with the word Hello Kitty on it on the table.

Seeing that it was time for the afternoon class, Qian Sanyi put the snack bag into his schoolbag.

Lin Miaomiao forgot about this matter in the blink of an eye, and Qian Sanyi might have also forgotten it, or he might have done it intentionally. Anyway, this snack bag was in his schoolbag and he took it home.

When he was doing homework after dinner in the evening, he saw the snack bag in his schoolbag and took out the hairpin.

The pin was slightly misplaced and he carefully repaired it.

His mother Pei Yin came in with the "Shiquan Dabu Decoction" again, and Qian Sanyi quickly put the hairpin back into his schoolbag.

"Sanyi, drink the soup later." As soon as Pei Yin finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door.

Qian Sanyi rushed to open the door and welcomed his father Qian Yukun in.

"That's right, Dad, drink that bowl of soup. I really can't drink it, the taste is too weird!" Qian Sanyi said with a smile.

"Everyone has a different recipe." Pei Yin also smiled and went to make tea for Qian Yukun.

The couple sat and chatted, and Qian Sanyi went back to do his homework.

Qian Yukun's interactions with Pei Yin have become more and more frequent. The relationship between the two seems to be getting closer and closer.

But that doesn't mean their relationship has returned to normal as a couple. On the contrary, the more anxious Qian Yukun became, the more hesitant Pei Yin seemed.

Qian Yukun also knew that his wife seemed gentle on the outside, but was very stubborn on the inside, so he could not force her to do anything. He could only patiently continue to behave like this.

Qian Yukun has become very proficient in communicating with Pei Yin under Qian Sanyi's prompts - he cannot just talk about his business issues, but first asks about their mother and son's living conditions, and then Qian Sanyi's learning problems, and then the physical health problems of both parents. Then, we can start chatting from Pei Yin's interests.

Pei Yin communicated with him smoothly and comfortably, and she could also detect his deliberateness.

Therefore, even if it was out of politeness, she would ask a few questions about his "work" with concern - that is, whether the business was going smoothly, and what he should pay attention to in terms of daily life and diet, etc.

The two men continued their gentle exchanges, and Qian Sanyi over there also made sufficient preparations for the upcoming showdown.

Seeing how late it was, Qian Yukun had no choice but to say goodbye with regret. He also mentioned that he wanted to have in-depth communication with Pei Yin, but she always refused on the grounds that she "should not hinder her children's college entrance examination."

When Qian Sanyi heard that his father was going back, he quickly put down his book and walked out and said, "Dad, I'll take you downstairs, just in time to do some exercise."

Seeing the father and son going out with their arms around each other's shoulders, Pei Yin was very moved: This is the most heartwarming scene of family affection.

From the third floor to the second floor, Qian Yukun saw that Qian Sanyi had deliberately stopped talking loudly, so he took a special look at Lin Miaomiao's door.

Turning to look at his son, Qian Yukun couldn't help but smile and whispered: "Trinity,"

"Dad, has everything gone well recently?" Qian Sanyi quickly seized the initiative in the topic.

Seeing that he was shy, Qian Yukun casually talked about his recent situation.

When they got downstairs, the two walked to Qian Yukun's luxury car.

Looking at the lights in the windows upstairs, Qian Yukun sighed and said: "There are many residents here who are accompanying students. You and your mother are the same, and so are Lin Miaomiao and her parents."

"Dad, what do you think of my performance now?" Qian Sanyi asked.

"They are all very good." Qian Yukun said sincerely, "Needless to say, study. The company you run also surprises me. Especially your scheduling ability."

Qian Sanyi ignored his joking state and said seriously: "That's good. I just want to prove my guess through other people's eyes - it seems that I am not overconfident."

After smiling, Qian Yukun asked: "What do you think of your recent performance?"

Without answering him directly, Qian Sanyi first turned to look at the windows on the second and third floors, and then looked at him: "Dad, I have one year to go before the college entrance examination. Originally, my mother and I had the same idea. After the college entrance examination is over, I will deal with a series of things. But, I don’t think like that now."

Seeing that he was serious, Qian Yukun also became serious and stared at him.

"My mother has lived a very hard life. It's unfair for us to treat her like this." Qian Sanyi finished speaking silently, and Qian Yukun immediately nodded: "That's right. What is this?"

"Besides, it's unfair for us to treat the Lin family like this." Qian Sanyi continued.

"Huh? How do you say this?" Qian Yukun asked in surprise.

To say that he couldn't tell that his son was very close to Lin Dawei's daughter was because Qian Yukun was telling lies with his eyes closed.

But it would be extremely difficult for him to immediately agree to a formal relationship between these two children: after all, these two children are now facing the time to take the college entrance examination and make choices about their respective lives.

"Sanyi, I can see, uh, how should I put it? It means that you care about Lin Miaomiao and value the Lin family very much." Qian Yukun said frankly, "But you are all in a critical learning sprint. Period. No matter how open-minded I am, I still care about the feelings of Lin Dawei’s family.”

"The matter between you and my mother must not be delayed any longer. And the matter between Lin Miaomiao and I does not need to be deliberately concealed." Qian Sanyi looked at him and said.

"Well," Qian Yukun frowned slightly, "Sanyi, what do you want?"

"I just want to leave the decision-making power on this matter to us instead of our parents!" Qian Sanyi said firmly, "Don't worry - the first reason to prevent children from having more contact is to worry about the impact Study. The school has various exams every week and every month. Lin Miaomiao and I will use the exam results to prove that we are different from what you are worried about! "

He spoke so sincerely and seriously that Qian Yukun didn't know how to respond.

After a moment of silence, Qian Yukun asked in a low voice: "Does Lin Miaomiao think so too?"

"Miaomiao is a good girl. She has no idea what I am telling you now. In contrast, she may still not be convinced that I am sincere to her." After Qian Sanyi finished speaking, Qian Yukun He was stunned for a moment, then smiled in relief.

The son's attitude showed that Lin Miaomiao did not take the initiative to participate in the relationship, but Qian Sanyi took the initiative.

Since this is the case, Qian Yukun knows that the initiative lies with the Qian family.

——————Something new

"Sanyi, I believe in your ability to control yourself." Qian Yukun breathed secretly and whispered, "I will pay attention. However, what you just said about me and your mother, how should you deal with it?"

"Dad, if mom talks to you tomorrow about me, or about me and Lin Miaomiao, I hope you can comfort and encourage her in a frank and peaceful manner." Qian Sanyi took over the words.

Qian Yukun couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard what he said seriously.

"Sanyi, the tone of your words sounds like there is going to be a 'final battle' soon." He said with a forced smile.

"Dad, come on! I have always supported you, let's keep our home together!" Qian Sanyi raised his right hand, "Both parents want their children to be happy, please give me your blessings from you and my mother."

Qian Yukun raised his right hand without hesitation and struck his son's right hand together.

Early the next morning, Qian Sanyi picked up his schoolbag and said goodbye to his mother: "Mom, I'm going to school."

"You didn't eat at home and went to school?" Pei Yin asked knowingly.

"Yeah." Qian Sanyi walked out of the house calmly.

Pei Yin waited for a while, then looked down from the balcony: Qian Sanyi was riding a mountain bike, waiting at the corner of the building to meet Lin Miaomiao, who was running in a hurry.

Lin Miaomiao took out a big sandwich from her schoolbag: "Here, my mother made an extra one. I can't eat it, so I'll give you one."

"Thank you." Qian Sanyi took it, put the sandwich into his school bag, and then pedaled away. Lin Miaomiao walked to open her bicycle and rode to school.

Looking at these two cute half-year-old children upstairs, Pei Yin couldn't help but smile to herself. Having experienced this as a young teenager, she still maintained understanding of the small actions of her son and Lin Miaomiao, and was even able to understand more of the implications of their words and deeds.

Both children were very good and did not behave excessively, which was something Pei Yin could tolerate.

Thinking that she was going to buy groceries, she packed her shopping bags, locked the door and went downstairs. She happened to meet Wang Shengnan on the second floor who was also going to buy groceries.

Through incidents such as "chopping minced meat" and "hooking shoes", the two have gained more sense of identity and can find common topics - as long as the topic turns to caring about their children, their parents will say no. Finished.

They knew each other well. They went to the supermarket to buy groceries together and walked back together.

Opening the door of his room, Wang Shengnan sent out an invitation: "Pei Yin, come to my house and sit for a while."

The two of them sat on the sofa in the living room. Wang Shengnan made a cup of coffee for her and a cup of tea for himself: "Each of you takes what you need."

After casually talking about the current vegetable prices, meat prices, and egg prices, Wang Shengnan remembered it again and asked: "I see that your old man has been coming back very frequently recently, so you should get back together as soon as possible. In fact, it's not a reconciliation, but you should live together as soon as possible. "

Because they had been separated for a long time, Pei Yin blushed when she heard her say this.

"Harm, you are an old married couple. What's there to be ashamed of?!" Wang Shengnan said nonchalantly.

This is logically true, but Pei Yin still feels that it is still too early to discuss the results of this topic.

"Let's talk about it after some time." She took a sip of coffee and hid her slightly embarrassed expression. "We are all the same now - there is no more important problem than our children's college entrance examination."

"That's true." Wang Shengnan, who has a cheerful personality and is carefree, immediately changed the subject, "You and Lao Qian are both pretty good, and you can give Qian Sanyi guidance. Our Lao Lin can barely speak a few words, but I just can't." His eyes suddenly went dark."

Smiling, Pei Yin put down the coffee cup and said, "It's the same. Lao Qian and I are not professional teachers and can't help with Trinity studies."

"If you say so, are we all the same? - we all do logistics work for our children?" Wang Shengnan asked happily with a smile.

"That's right!" Pei Yin then said, "When it comes to logistics, I can't compare to you."

"No way. I was just busy! Miaomiao was having lunch at school, and I was responsible for preparing breakfast and dinner for her and Lao Lin!" Wang Shengnan said casually.

Pei Yin took over and said, "Sanyi always goes to school to have breakfast. This means that he is tired of the food I cook."

"I told you earlier! I make beef sandwiches for Miaomiao every morning, and she happily takes two big pieces to school to eat every day!" As he said this, Wang Shengnan opened his hands and gestured.

Pei Yin laughed directly: No matter how big Lin Miaomiao was, she couldn't eat such a big sandwich every morning. One of them was "helped" by our family Qian Sanyi.

"Well, Miaomiao's appetite is really good." Pei Yin said with a smile.

"That's right. Originally I made two, she ate one, and her dad ate one. Now it's good, she ate them all by herself." Wang Shengnan said with a smile, "As long as she eats happily, it doesn't count for me. I’ve taken care of the logistics for being a mom.”

Seeing her extremely happy expression, Pei Yin couldn't help laughing and felt sorry for Qian Sanyi who ate Lin Dawei's breakfast.

Seeing her expression, Wang Shengnan also laughed.

The two chatted for a while, and Pei Yin suddenly remembered: "Hey, I hired an aunt to help with cleaning this morning. I have to go back and wait for her."

Unable to persuade her to stay, Wang Shengnan opened the door and watched her go upstairs and go home.

Pei Yin put away the vegetables and meat he bought, and the hourly cleaning lady arrived shortly afterwards. When the latter was cleaning Qian Sanyi's room, he found the snack bag and asked if he wanted to throw it away.

Because Qian Sanyi rarely ate in retail, Pei Yin took it in surprise, and was even more surprised: there was a pink hairpin for girls pinned to the opening of this snack bag.

The hourly worker continued to clean, but Pei Yin became uneasy about the snack bag and the hairpin.

Pei Yin had seen that hairpin used by Lin Miaomiao. Apart from Lin Miaomiao, there was no other girl who had a close relationship with Qian Sanyi.

"Hello, I've finished cleaning here. Can you see where it's not clean?" The hourly worker came over to ask after cleaning.

After coming back to her senses, Pei Yin quickly settled the bill for her, sent her out, and then sat on the sofa in a daze.

Pei Yin's acquaintance with Lin Miaomiao's family began after the "meat mincing" incident. For this ordinary person, she initially only started dating out of politeness.

Although she and Wang Shengnan are currently getting along very well, she knows that there are too many differences between the two families.

There is no need to talk about values. Just talk about the status, academic, financial and other backgrounds of family members. There is no doubt that the Lin family cannot match.

It is said that love is "more expensive", but love will expire and be replaced by marriage and family. A husband and wife want to live a life of decades and be in love with each other. If they can have the so-called "well-matched" relationship, it will naturally make it easier for them to maintain their emotional connection.

Thinking of this, Pei Yin breathed secretly and heard the sound of Wang Shengnan downstairs chopping meat again - she was going to give her husband another meal as a reward for her husband who worked hard outside and her lovely daughter who studied hard at school. ate the dumplings.
