Xu You was slightly stunned, then laughed, "Married? What are you thinking about?"

"You said what I was thinking about, of course I was thinking about lifelong events." Zhuang Shaodong pinched his face, with a slightly resentful look in his eyes.Ever since he was a child, he has seen too many exchange of benefits in the name of marriage. Marriage is nothing in his eyes.He just didn't expect Xu You to notice that he was so careful.

"I didn't want to play tricks with your old man, really." Zhuang Shaodong felt a few big golden characters appearing on his forehead: 300 taels of no silver here.But without explaining, he felt that he was really wronged, "I just think that people of your parents' age probably pay more attention to legal marriage..."

The smile in Xu You's eyes deepened, "And then?"

"No then," Zhuang Shaodong looked at him a little discouraged, "Let's do what he likes."

Xu You laughed, "Where are you going to get married? Our country's laws don't recognize it. You're so stupid and dishonest. Besides, my dad is from the army. At their age, Chongyang is the most annoying thing." Meiwai, show him your foreign marriage certificate... are you courting death?"

Zhuang Shaodong defended, "I just thought, people like him must pay special attention to documents, legality and so on."

Xu You rubbed his head, "That must be a certificate from our own country."

"I really can't do anything about it." Zhuang Shaodong spread his hands, with a helpless expression on his face, "What I'm most afraid of is dealing with elders like your father, who can't be soft or hard, right? I don't like you. Alas."

Xu You didn't know what to do, so he could only comfort him bravely, "My dad can't see people playing tricks on him. Let's just sit in front of him honestly and see what happens. Hey, you Agree to come with me?"

"Can you disagree?" Zhuang Shaodong was very dissatisfied with his last rhetorical question, "Can I still let you go home alone to be beaten?"

Xu You rubbed his head with a smile, leaned over and kissed him, "Good boy."

The little uneasiness in Zhuang Shaodong's heart disappeared immediately, replaced by a sense of satisfaction that he was relying on him, and even his back was straightened unconsciously, "Turn back and talk to our mother." Get in touch and see when is the right time for us to go back. Don't be in a hurry, let our mother blow the wind at home for a while, let our father have a mental preparation, don't go back suddenly and make him angry..."

As he said, Xu You nodded, Zhuang Shaodong felt a little itchy when he saw Xu You's obedient appearance for the first time, but right now they are discussing serious matters, he doesn't want Xu You to feel that he only knows...cough, not serious thing.

"During this period of time, let's hurry up and get the house out. We both have families and businesses, and we have an extra bargaining chip in front of your parents, right? I found a decoration company, and you and their Talk to the designer." Zhuang Shaodong thought for a while, and added, "Just do as you want. I don't have any opinion on how to do it."

Xu You also had this intention.Although living in the sky garden is very close to the kitchen, it is very convenient to find something to eat when you are hungry, but it is not a place to live after all.And he also needs a suitable place to put the piles of materials at home.

"When the house is cleaned up, the wind blowing on our mother's pillows will probably be blowing." Zhuang Shaodong thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing missing, "What do you think?"

Xu You nodded with a smile, "Very good."

Zhuang Shaodong got a positive evaluation, and his tail was raised immediately.Two paws touched Xu You's waist and was about to do something when the phone rang again.Zhuang Shaodong answered the phone resentfully under Xu You's smiling eyes, and gave an annoyed hello.Xu You got close, and could hear a girl's crisp voice, with a slightly helpless tone.Zhuang Shaodong pulled his face down after hearing a few words, "What did he say?"

The girl on the opposite side muttered a few words.Zhuang Shaodong hung up the phone with a sullen face.

"what happened?"

"Zhuang Shiwen's brat refuses to go back." Zhuang Shaodong scratched his hair distractedly, "You said these two kids... Now that they know my identity, why don't they feel that I don't want to see them?"

Xu You didn't think too much about it, "The blood relationship is very wonderful. Children, they must think differently from adults. It is impossible to say that they don't know at all. I think they probably think that adults The matter belongs to the adults, your generation has nothing to do with them."

Zhuang Shaodong sneered, "How could it be irrelevant?"

"Everyone has their own opinions," Xu You patted his face, "Actually, I think you can make it clear to them, don't come to you if you have nothing to do, and you can help as appropriate if you have something to do."

Zhuang Shaodong asked him back, "Is there something wrong now or is it okay?"

Xu You choked on his own words, frowned and thought for a while, "My opinion cannot be accepted by the elders, and if it is not affirmed, I will fight back angrily. Of course it is something to do. At this age, this should be considered a big deal. "

"Then what do you say?"

Xu You took his hand and walked out, "Let's go talk to him."

Zhuang Shaodong didn't want to go, "What are you talking about? What's there to talk about?"

Xu You said with a smile: "We need to talk. Otherwise, the two of them will come to you every two days to get close to you, and you will be annoyed to death."

Reluctantly, Xu You dragged her to the reception area, and sure enough, Zhuang Shaoru was still sitting there with a travel bag at his feet, and his eyes were red like a little rabbit that had been thrown out.Zhuang Shaodong sighed resignedly, and sat down with Xu You, "Tell me, what's wrong?"

Zhuang Shaoru looked at him aggrievedly, "I want to sign up for the model airplane class, but my mother won't let me."

Zhuang Shaodong was annoyed when he heard his mother, "Why doesn't she let her go?"

Zhuang Shaoru sniffled, "She wants to enroll me in an intensive English class."

Zhuang Shaodong sneered, "Your father is the one who came back after drinking foreign ink, you can't learn from him? What kind of intensive class do you still have? How much money do you need?"

Zhuang Shaoru said embarrassingly, "He doesn't have time."

"Then you can talk to your mother about your plan." Zhuang Shaodong became impatient, "If it doesn't work, then I will drag your father to be your backup."

"My father is usually very supportive of my mother..."

Zhuang Shaodong mocked: "Your father is really useless."

The child exploded, "Your father is a loser!"

Zhuang Shaodong nodded solemnly, "My dad is indeed a coward. He threw me away as soon as I was born, and I never had a chance to call him dad in my life. Basically, I'm a bastard without a dad."

Xu You shook his head beside him, and secretly reached out and twisted his waist.

Zhuang Shaoru jumped up as if struck by lightning, "You...you..."

"Okay, okay," Xu You couldn't stand it any longer. He knew that Zhuang Shaodong had a problem with this child, but it's not honorable to use a child as a punching bag. "You two, talk well."

Zhuang Shaodong let out the breath he was holding in his lungs slowly, Xu You was right, this child's thinking was different from his own, he might not feel that the problems between his parents had anything to do with them.Since I am older than him, there is really no reason to vent all my hatred for Zhuang Shiwen on this child.

"Go back and tell your parents what you think." Zhuang Shaodong leaned forward slightly, and said to him with a posture of cutting through the mess with a sharp knife: "Remember, you have to let them know that you have grown up and can A decision has been made."

The angry expression on Zhuang Shaoru's face was replaced by anxiety, "I said it..."

"There's something wrong with the way you said it." Zhuang Shaodong interrupted him, "They must be doing it for your own good. Or you can tell them that if you take two practice classes at the same time, that's all you need?"

Zhuang Shaoru's face wrinkled.

Zhuang Shaodong asked him back, "Or do you think that with your ability, it's too much for two at the same time?"

"Of course not!" Zhuang Shaoru blushed because of his sharp question.

"Then it's over?" Zhuang Shaodong spread his hands and looked at him innocently, "What's the problem now?"

Zhuang Shaoru opened his mouth, suddenly feeling a little puzzled.It was originally a question that weighed heavily on him, but why did he come to them and just say a few words... and he was fine?

"All in all, running away from home won't solve the problem." Zhuang Shaodong waved his hands impatiently, "Since you want them to treat you as an adult, why do you protest in such a naive way as running away from home?"

Zhuang Shaoru was thoughtful.

Zhuang Shaodong was holding back his anger at first, but as he talked, he felt that he was not so angry anymore.After all, the one sitting in front of him is just an innocent child.

"Go back and talk about it." Zhuang Shaodong didn't notice that his tone had softened, but Xu You did, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to the child: "Since you are an adult, don't be like this in the future." Impulsive. If you have something to do, you can call first, and Shaodong can send someone to pick you up. How unsafe it is to run around by yourself. "

Zhuang Shaoru's face darkened involuntarily.He could hear the meaning of this man's words, and he felt a little bit that he came uninvited.But he is good-looking, and his tone of voice is quite gentle, which is not offensive, not to mention that there is still a meaning of caring for him in his words.

He looked at Zhuang Shaodong cautiously, "Then, can I come to you in the future if I have something to do?"

Zhuang Shaodong looked at his wet, animal-like eyes, and sighed in his heart, "Yes."

A big flower bloomed on the child's face immediately, "Thank you brother!"

"Hey, hey," Zhuang Shaodong quickly put out his own conditions, "It's okay for you and your brother to come over if you have something to do, but I have a condition: I can't talk about your family's affairs here, and I can't talk about your family's affairs when I'm at your house. You can't talk about things here. Can you do it?"

The child nodded hurriedly, "Okay."

If it's just two children...and two children who are very close to him, Zhuang Shaodong feels that he can accept it.Xu You was right, such a wonderful bond of blood would not really cease to exist just because of his self-defeating denial.Maybe in his whole life, he won't sit down and have a meal with Zhuang Shiwen calmly.But with these two kids...he didn't like them, but he didn't hate them either.He had too many things to do, so there was no need to exaggerate the trouble these two children had caused him.

So be it.Just keep the status quo, he thought.Maybe they will suddenly wake up one day and feel that they have grown up and no longer need to find someone to complain; maybe in a few days they will be sent to a certain school abroad to spend their youth, Will forget this little episode of getting acquainted with myself.

What's the point of worrying so much?

Let's take whatever step we go.

Because Xu You and Zhuang Shaodong are both busy, after finalizing the design plan, most of the work was handed over to Zhuang Yupei.At the beginning of April, Xu You invited clients to have dinner and stopped by to take a look. The basic part of the interior had just been completed, and the workers were busy painting the walls.However, the front yard and the back yard have already been sorted out first, and the reserved garden has also been planted with flowers and plants, and at a glance, it is full of vitality.

In mid-April, Zhuang Shaodong returned to the urban area from the auto parts factory one day, and picked up Xu You to check on the progress, and found that the inside and outside of the house had changed.The walls, floors, kitchen and bathroom have all been completed, and several workers are doing the final touches on the mosaic decorative wall in the bathroom.Although the house was empty, there was already a touch of tranquility in the air.Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, one can see that the Xifu crabapple planted in the yard has produced clusters of pink and white flower buds, and the tender green radish planted along the wall has climbed to the carved fence.

The sea breeze is blowing, and the golden glow is jumping on the sea surface, and the seabirds flying against the light are agile, like silhouettes.

Zhuang Shaodong took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the people around him.Xu You squinted his eyes and looked at the sea in the distance, a cluster of bright golden red was reflected in his pupils, shining brightly like glass.

Zhuang Shaodong held his hand, "Just May Day. Let's go back to City C on May Day?"

Xu You looked at him, a strange light gradually appeared in his eyes.
