At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

Red Rose Tavern.

Although it was winter, the tavern did not become deserted because of the cold weather.

On the contrary, it became even more popular because of the Red Rose Band's victory.

After finishing his exams, Shen Qiushan routinely went to the tavern.

"Teacher Shen, can we take a picture together?"

"Old Shen, can I get your autograph?"

Wow, it's Teacher Shen in real life!

"Teacher Shen, all the people who insulted you have had their accounts banned!"

As soon as Shen Qiushan entered the tavern, he was immediately surrounded by the customers.

Lately, Shen Qiushan has been getting used to the same thing every time he comes to the tavern.

After fulfilling the guests' requests, Shen Qiushan sat down at the bar.

Because the bar was doing very well, there were performances on stage all day long, which was more than enough to cover the cost. Besides, the performers during the day were all from the "Pop Music Club," and their performance fees were very low.

The person singing on stage right now is Cheng Yuanyuan from the pop music club. This girl is the one who cornered Shen Qiushan and asked him to become the club president.

After honing her skills on the stage of the Red Rose Tavern, Cheng Yuanyuan has become a qualified resident singer. Not only has her singing ability improved slightly, but she is also able to interact with the audience.

Shen Qiushan took a sip of the lemon water Xu Pipa poured for him, then habitually patted the other's mushroom-shaped head: "Are the final exams over?"

"Not yet, it won't be finished until tomorrow."

"Reviewing your studies is the priority; don't waste your energy on the pub."

Since the Red Rose Tavern opened, Xu Pipa has spent almost every day there. Although it's called a part-time job, her working hours are almost the same as those of a full-time employee. As long as she doesn't have classes, she's almost always at the tavern.

"Being in the pub doesn't affect my studying."

As Xu Pipa spoke, she took out a book from under the bar.

Her main job at the bar was bartending, and once she became skilled, she actually had quite a lot of free time.

In addition, Xu Pipa is smart enough that she can actually find time to read books outside of work.

Winter break is just around the corner, what are your plans?

Shen Qiushan asked another question casually.

"Working at a tavern."

Xu Pipa replied decisively.

"Gone?"

"I want to visit my dad after my exam tomorrow."

Xu Loquat said again.

"I'll go with you. It's such a long way, it'll be easier to drive."

The Sanjiang Second Mental Hospital, where Xu Pipa's father is located, is in the suburbs and is not easily accessible by public transportation; driving is the most convenient way to get there.

"okay!"

Xu Pipa nodded slightly, without being polite.

Anyway, she already owes Uncle Shen enough, so as the saying goes, "the more debts you have, the less burden you carry."

In addition, Xu Pipa enjoys the time she spends alone with Shen Qiushan.

After entering university, Xu Pipa noticed that many of her roommates and classmates were in relationships, and as an observer, she began to have some thoughts of her own.

She used to think that her feelings for Shen Qiushan were mainly gratitude, but now she felt that her gratitude towards this Uncle Shen seemed to have changed.

But Xu Pipa was a smart girl, and through observation, she was almost certain that Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo were together.

She wasn't surprised at all by this result; in fact, she had already noticed some clues during the final sprint of her senior year.

Therefore, she knew that Shen Qiushan was not currently single.

Xu Pipa didn't have any ambition to compete or fight for anything. She felt that it was already very good that she could see Shen Qiushan often and give him some help within her ability!
In addition, Xu Pipa deeply understands a principle: If you blossom, butterflies will come!
She's just a little girl still in school, and in her opinion, she's not very attractive.

Therefore, Xu Pipa's plan is that one day when she is "shining brightly," she might reveal the secret in her heart!

Otherwise, she would keep this secret in her heart forever.

"Brother Shen, there are two students here for winter break part-time jobs. Could you take a look? I'm going to the restroom!"

At this moment, Hu Tingting, clutching her stomach, came to the bar.

"Well, let's go!"

Shen Qiushan waved with a smile, then looked behind Hu Tingting. Two boys were walking towards her, one of whom was tall and thin with regular features and was very handsome.

In terms of appearance, he is much worse, but he is quite tall and gives people a simple and honest feeling.

"Professor Shen, my name is Hu Jian, and I'm from the Journalism Department."

"He's also from the journalism department, his name is Xiao Sinian!"

The boy with a simple and honest appearance took the initiative to speak, and also introduced the handsome young man next to him.

Upon hearing the name "Xiao Sinian," Shen Qiushan subconsciously raised his eyebrows. This name left a very deep impression on him because he had learned from the side that his daughter seemed to have taken a liking to a rascal named Xiao Sinian.

For this reason, Shen Qiushan even asked someone to find out about the other party's background. The guy was from Northeast China, or more precisely, from a rural area in Northeast China, and his family was very poor.

After learning about the other party's family background, Shen Qiushan was actually somewhat opposed to his daughter finding such a boyfriend.

Fortunately, he didn't hear about the two having any contact afterward, so Shen Qiushan thought the matter was over!

After all, young people are prone to being fickle; it's normal for them to be easily swayed.

Today I might act impulsively and feel that this is great, but tomorrow I might change my mind!

But to Shen Qiushan's surprise, Xiao Sinian actually came to his tavern to apply for a part-time job during the winter break!

If we really hire him, wouldn't that create an opportunity for my daughter and him?
Hmm, that won't do!
We must nip it in the bud!

Shen Qiushan cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Xiao Hu, Xiao Xiao, you're a bit late. We've already recruited enough part-time workers for the winter break."

"what?"

"Sister Tingting just said they were short-staffed."

Hu Jian looked suspicious; he had thought that coming to Shen Qiushan's place was just a formality.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qiushan said that the recruitment was complete.

"She may not be fully aware of the situation."

"We don't need many part-time workers during winter break. It's winter, so business at the pub isn't that good. Hmm, you see?"

Shen Qiushan wanted to say, "Look at the low attendance rate."

As a result, it was only a little past 2 p.m., but the tavern was already packed to capacity, with a queue even forming outside.

"Senior Xiao, Senior Hu, what are you doing here?"

Just then, Shen Yanran and Lin Jiayu, who had just finished their exams, walked hand in hand into the tavern.

Recently, the two of them are in a similar situation to Xu Pipa. When they don't have classes, they are almost always helping out at the bar. Shen Yanran is doing it out of obligation, while Lin Jiayu was forcibly dragged in as a laborer.

Of course, she was willing to go; being in a pub was much more interesting than lying in her dorm room.

Shen Qiushan's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't expected his daughter to "refresh" things at this crucial moment!
"Junior Yanran, Niannian and I are here to apply for part-time jobs during the winter break."

Since they were both members of the journalism department's student union, Hu Jian and Shen Yanran were quite familiar with each other, and he naturally knew that Shen Yanran was Shen Qiushan's daughter.

Shen Qiushan just said that the positions were full, which might have been his way of politely declining. But now that he knows he and Shen Yanran are quite close, he might give him face!
"You guys want to work part-time here!"

"That's wonderful!" Upon hearing that Xiao Sinian wanted to work part-time at her family's tavern, Shen Yanran's beautiful eyes lit up. She said with a smile, "The tavern is so busy all day long, we're short-staffed!"

"There were quite a few people willing to work part-time before the end of the semester, but everyone was busy with final exam preparation, so there weren't many people available. During winter break, everyone went home, and the shortage of staff became even more acute!"

Ok!

Shen Yanran directly exposed her father's "hidden secrets".

Of course, she didn't know what her father, Shen Qiushan, had just said to the two of them; he was simply stating the facts.

Shen Qiushan glanced at his daughter speechlessly. He was, after all, a famous writer who had won international awards and was considered a public figure.

She was "sold out" by her daughter just like that.

However, Shen Qiushan was thick-skinned enough. He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, Yanran, you don't know the situation. We've actually already hired a few part-time workers for the winter break."

"But since you're in the same department as them, why don't you come over!"

"The tavern is indeed busy, and who knows when the hype will die down!"

Since his daughter had already spoken, Shen Qiushan couldn't very well refuse to let the two of them work at the tavern.

As the saying goes: fortunes change every thirty years, so never underestimate a young person's potential!

Hu Jian and Xiao Sinian are both top students at Sanjiang University. Who knows if they will achieve great success in the future?

There's no need to offend two "young talents"!

Conversely, if Shen Qiushan had provided them with this job opportunity, and if one of them had actually succeeded many years later, they might have said that he had given them the job opportunity.

That's right, Shen Qiushan was really worried about his daughter, fearing that the cabbage he had raised for so many years would be taken away by someone else!

Hmm, let Yanran go traveling during the winter break!
Arrange for them to leave!

Shen Qiushan already had a plan in mind. Shen Yanran had told him before that she hoped to travel during the holidays, saying that she wanted to see the beautiful landscapes of the motherland.

"Thank you, Teacher Shen!"

"We will definitely do our best!"

Hu Jianli immediately responded with a broad smile.

Xiao Sinian nodded in agreement, then asked, "Teacher Shen, when do we start work?"

"Wait until your exams are over."

"Students should prioritize their studies!"

Shen Qiushan waved his hand.

"Professor Shen, our department's final exams are over today, shall we start our shifts now?"

Hu Jian asked with a smile.

"Uh, is that all for today?"

"Your department is early enough!"

Shen Qiushan casually remarked that he still had two days of exams left, but each one was only half a day.

"Dad, our department started quite early, and I've already finished my exams."

Shen Yanran chuckled and replied.

"Alright, then you can get to work!"

"I'll follow Manager Hu's instructions in a bit."

Shen Qiushan waved his hand helplessly, then looked at his daughter and sister-in-law Lin Jiayu: "Yanran, didn't you say you wanted to travel during the winter vacation?"

"Now that the exams are over, you can go."

"Jiayu, you and Yanran can go together, I'll cover the expenses!"

"Our motherland is so big, take your time to explore and see the sights. Just come back before the New Year!"

Upon hearing Shen Qiushan's words, Lin Jiayu's eyes lit up immediately: "Brother-in-law, are you serious?"

Are all expenses covered?

Lin Jiayu was immediately tempted. Going on a trip and seeing the beautiful landscapes of the motherland would be much more comfortable than working as a laborer in a bar!
"of course it's true!"

Shen Qiushan smiled and nodded: "When have I ever lied to you? But there's one thing you must be careful about."

"I bought Yanran a Little Genius watch before, so I'll buy you one too. When you go out, you two should both wear the watch so I can see your real-time location!"

Although the domestic security environment is very good, Shen Qiushan was still a little worried about the two young girls, Lin Jiayu and Shen Yanran, going on a trip, especially since they were both so beautiful.

"Yeah!"

Lin Jiayu nodded repeatedly, then immediately took Shen Yanran's arm: "Yanran, how about we make Harbin our first stop? Let's go skiing and see the ice sculptures."

Lin Jiayu has already started planning her travel itinerary.

Just as she was excitedly preparing to discuss travel routes with Shen Yanran, the other party gave her a "deep" look.

"Dad, it's too cold in winter, I don't want to go out!"

"Let's wait until summer vacation!"

Shen Yanran decisively refused, and then reached out and gently pinched Lin Jiayu's waist.

Well.
Lin Jiayu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that her great-niece was not afraid of the cold at all!
It was clearly because Xiao Sinian wanted to work at the tavern that she refused to leave.

Lin Jiayu really wanted to go out. She hesitated for a moment but didn't intend to change her mind. However, at that moment, she felt a sharp pain in her waist.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Shen Yanran suddenly increased the pressure of her pinch.

"Uh, yes, it's too cold in winter!"

Lin Jiayu said with a mournful face.

She wants to go out and play!

Shen Qiushan could easily see through his daughter's little scheme, and he immediately said, "Although it's cold in the north, it's still quite warm in the south. You can go to Sanya, Xishuangbanna, or even go abroad!"

"Yes!"

"I think it's pretty good."

Lin Jiayu was tempted again and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay?"

Shen Yanran then placed her hand on Lin Jiayu's waist, threatening her aunt who had no principles.

"Uh, never mind!"

"Sanya is actually quite cold."

Lin Jiayu sighed helplessly, then glanced at Shen Yanran with a sorrowful look in her eyes.

This is a chance to travel all over the country!

It’s just gone!
Lin Jiayu had already begun to silently plan how to make her eldest niece make it up to her.

Shen Qiushan was speechless. His gaze subconsciously fell on Xiao Sinian. No matter how he looked at him, he couldn't stand the kid.

At that moment, Shen Qiushan suddenly understood his father-in-law, Lin Moxuan.

I reckon that father-in-law dislikes me even more than he dislikes Xiao Sinian!
Xiao Sinian is a top student from Sanjiang University, and he has a good appearance.

When Shen Qiushan first appeared in front of Lin Moxuan, he was a real "yellow-haired" man, with no education and no job, only decent appearance.

Ugh!
Sure enough, what goes around comes around!
He had previously abducted someone else's daughter; now, it's his turn to worry about his daughter being abducted by someone else.
