That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 598 What kind of parents do I have?

After entering September, universities in Beijing have started to open one after another.

Li Ye's two younger sisters, Li Juan and Zhao Meiwen, also informed Li Ye of the time of his arrival in the capital.

And because they were worried about the two girls riding the train alone, their father Li Kaijian and the cousin's father Zhao Yuanchao also took leave to escort the two little girls to Beijing.

Then Li Ye had to go to the station to pick him up! And Li Yue, her sister who never bothered her husband with trivial matters, also ordered her brother-in-law Yang Yumin to take a day off and go with her to the station to meet her father-in-law.

The three of them arrived at the train station half an hour early, but the train was delayed and they had to wait for a long time.

Li Ye took out an unopened pack of "Da Chong Jiu" and asked Yang Yumin: "Do you want to smoke?"

Yang Yumin shook his head and said, "No more smoking. I've given up."

"Stop doing?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you, an old smoker, would also quit smoking? When you are writing the manuscript now, do you feel that something is missing in your hands?"

Yang Yumin is not actually a heavy smoker, but he used to smoke a cigarette to perk up when he was writing.

But it was much more difficult to quit smoking in the 1980s than in later generations. Nine out of ten men in a room smoked, and you would really be an outlier if you didn't smoke.

Yang Yumin also smiled and said, "It's good to quit smoking. My voice is clearer now. When I'm writing, your sister will make me a pot of tea. I'm addicted to it."

"."

Li Ye glanced at his proud sister and thought that a man who is loved by a woman must live a comfortable life!
. . . . . . . . .

"Brother, sister, we are here~"

After the train arrived at the station, sister Li Juan waved to Li Ye from a distance.

Li Kaijian and Zhao Yuanchao followed behind, both carrying large and small bags on their backs, sweating profusely like migrant workers moving house.

Li Ye and Yang Yumin ran over and took over most of the two people's luggage.

Then Li Ye took out the box of Da Chongjiu and lit some for his uncle Zhao Yuanchao and father Li Kaijian.

Nowadays, if you don’t offer a cigarette to your elders, they will think you are arrogant!
Li Kaijian wiped his sweat and asked, "Did you drive here? If not, find a tricycle. You can't squeeze into a bus with these things. I almost squeezed an old man down just now."

My cousin Zhao Meiwen pouted and said, "I told you not to let my uncle send it. One box each for Xiaojuan and I is enough. But my uncle and my father insisted on sending it. I don't know if they were sending something or for us."

Zhao Yuanchao glared at his daughter and argued, "What do you know? Being away from home is not as comfortable as being at home. If you are missing something, you will be the ones who will be anxious."

"Yes, yes, you are right. You are my father and you are right."

Cousin Zhao Meiwen made a face at Zhao Yuanchao, then dragged her small suitcase and walked forward with Li Juan, laughing and giggling, like two birds out of a cage, finally breathing the air of freedom.

Every child who just entered college will be excited about breaking free from the constraints of nearly twenty years and will look forward to the upcoming "freedom".

Only when I looked back many years later did a thought suddenly come to my mind - how great it would be if I never grew up!

After leaving the train station, Li Ye and Li Yue split up, one sent Zhao Meiwen and Zhao Yuanchao to Beijing Medical University, and the other took Li Kaijian and Li Juan to Beijing University to go through the admission procedures.

The two groups were busy until four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and then they gathered at Zaojun Temple.

However, not long after everyone arrived at Zaoju Temple, Li Dayong came over with Wen Leyu and Fu Yiru.

When Li Kaijian saw Fu Yiru, he was obviously stunned and his expression looked a little unnatural.

He had met Fu Yiru twice in total. Once was in the summer of the year before last, when Fu Yiru went to Qingshui County specifically to "see his father", and the other time was a quick glance when Li Yue got married.

Fu Yiruo is always happy every time she sees Li Kaijian.

Because Li Kaijian's image fully satisfies a girl's yearning for a father.

Tall, tough, and handsome.

Every time Li Kaijian saw Fu Yiru, he would be in a trance.

When Fu Yiru saw Li Kaijian's expression, her eyes were also complicated, but she was mentally prepared in advance and greeted Li Kaijian with a smile.

"Hello, uncle."

"Hello, little Yiruo."

Li Kaijian's greeting was somewhat unnatural, and the smile on his face seemed a little stiff.

Li Yue, the elder sister next to her, saw this and quickly said to Fu Yiruo, "Xiaoruo, come and help me clean up these two rooms, one for Xiaojuan and one for Xiaowen."

"Oh, here we come."

Fu Yiru went to the west wing and cleaned the room with Li Yue and Zhao Meiwen, and only then did she get out of Li Kaijian's sight.

Because my sister is in poor health now and can't stand the smell of smoke, Li Ye and Li Juan have to cook dinner today.

The two were cooking! Li Kaijian suddenly asked Li Ye sullenly, "Is there any wine at home?"

Li Ye said casually: "Yes! There is iced beer in the refrigerator, both in Yanjing and Daocheng."

"Do you have white beer? Your uncle doesn't like beer."

"Yes, there are Maotai and Wuliangye in the wine cabinet in the living room."

Knowing that Li Kaijian and Zhao Yuanchao were coming today, how could Li Ye not prepare some wine? There were both white and beer.

But Li Kaijian said, "Of course I drink Erguotou when I come to Beijing! Do you have any at home?"

I really don't have this. Drink that thing. It tastes good.
Li Kaijian turned around and left: "I'm going to go out and buy some. Wait for me for a while."

"."

Li Ye frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong. He quickly took the dish out of the pot, handed it to his sister Li Yue, and turned around to follow him out.

After going out, Li Ye followed Li Kaijian from a distance and saw him walking aimlessly along the road, passing by two stores in a row without going in.

That’s a problem, isn’t it?

"Ah~"

Li Ye was also helpless. Fu Yiru missed her father very much, and she insisted to come over until Li Kaijian came. And from the look of Li Kaijian, he missed Fu Guiru too!
Li Ye followed from a distance and saw him sitting beside a flower bed, taking out a cigarette box and starting to smoke.
One, two, three or five cigarettes, a whole box of cigarettes was smoked up by Li Kaijian, and there was a pile of cigarette butts on the ground.

Li Ye didn't want to disturb Li Kaijian, but the old man on the roadside didn't tolerate him.

"Hey, comrade, the rules in our capital are very strict! Even a cigarette butt will result in a fine. You have so many cigarette butts, why don't you clean them up quickly?"

"Ah! Oh, how much is the fine?"

Li Kaijian quickly took out his wallet.

But the old man said, "I'm not fining you. I'm asking you to clean up so you don't feel unhappy when you pay the money later."

"Ohhh, thank you! Thank you!"

Li Kaijian thanked the nosy old man, bent down to pick up the cigarette butt and put it into the cigarette box.

Li Ye walked over and helped him pick up the cigarette butts.

Li Kaijian then saw Li Ye and smiled awkwardly, "There are so many roads in the capital. I got lost while walking."

Li Ye smiled and said nothing.

You are a border scout, and finding directions and memorizing maps are your professional duties. And you tell me that you are lost on this street?

Moreover, Li Kaijian was such an alert person in the past, but now he didn't react until Li Ye walked up to him?

"Let's go. There's a tobacco, alcohol and grocery store over there. I'll take you to buy some Erguotou."

Li Ye helped Li Kaijian up and took him back.

Li Kaijian suddenly asked, "Xiao Ye, are you hiding something from me?"

"."

Li Ye slowly turned around and asked in surprise: "Dad, what are you talking about? If you're talking about pocket money, then I must have hidden some from you."

Li Kaijian stared at Li Ye for several seconds, and his eyes regained their usual sharpness.

"You must have hidden more than one thing, right? You are a member of Old Pei's Changbei Machinery Company, right?"

"Yes, a little bit, but that factory is mainly run by Dayong and Pei Wenhui."

"Okay then," Li Kaijian nodded and said, "Please make an appointment for me. I'll go over to visit in the next few days. I've been promoted to deputy factory director, so I need to learn advanced learning experiences."

"."

Li Ye was a little surprised. Is this what you meant just now?

But Li Kaijian was already walking back with big strides, going straight and turning. He was totally lost!

. . . . . . . .

That night, Li Kaijian, Zhao Yuanchao and Yang Yumin drank a lot of Maozi and went to bed early.

But when it was almost ten o'clock, the phone at home rang.

Li Ye quickly went over to answer the call: "Hello, who is this? Who are you looking for?"

Fu Guiru's voice came from the other side: "Xiao Ye, I signed the contract with Nakamura Corporation. They are eager to use our orders as collateral to borrow money from the bank, so it is faster than expected."

Fu Guiru has been negotiating orders with Nakamura Corporation these days. She originally thought it would be difficult to deal with, but unexpectedly, the person in charge of the negotiations was more anxious than Li Ye, and everything went more smoothly than expected.

But Li Ye didn't wait for Fu Guiru to finish, and said calmly: "Oh, I'm very busy recently. My father has arrived in Beijing, so I don't have time to arrange an article with you for the time being. Let's talk about it in a few days!"

"."

After a long silence on the other end of the phone, Fu Guiru asked in a low voice: "Is your father here?"

Li Ye answered irrelevantly: "My family has gone to bed, so it's not convenient to talk in detail. I'll call you the day after tomorrow!"

"."

Li Ye could hear Fu Guiru's breathing through the phone, and it was obvious that she was not in a calm mood either.

"Dudududu~"

Fu Guiru didn't say anything else and hung up the phone.

Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief and listened carefully. There was no sound coming from Li Kaijian's room.

Only then did he tiptoe back and lie down to continue sleeping.

But after all this trouble, Li Ye couldn't fall asleep for a long time. It was not until the second half of the night that he felt sleepy.

But just when Li Ye was about to fall asleep, he suddenly woke up.

That's not right! Li Kaijian would snore from time to time when he slept at night, but why didn't he snore the whole night tonight?
Is it because the pillow is too high?
Or was it the scout's instinct that got in the way?

[What kind of parents do I have? Why are they so worrying? ]
