Chapter 1427 Father and Son Night Talk
Late at night, Xue Heng got up and went to the bathroom. He was sleepy and was about to go back to the room, but found that there was still a small light on in the living room, and there seemed to be a vague sound.
He blinked in confusion and walked over yawning.
I saw my father sitting on the sofa in pajamas, watching a family theater.
Xue Heng frowned and asked, "Dad? It's so late, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
The old man didn't raise his head and continued to stare at the TV.
"I drank tea earlier and couldn't sleep."
Xue Heng yawned, sat over and poured a glass of water.
"You used to drink tea every few days, why did you suddenly not fall asleep? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xue Zhilan sighed indifferently: "I am old and old, and I am not as good as before. Most elderly people have poor sleep conditions. I have been able to pass the exam in the past two years. It seems that I can't even drink more tea in the future."
"I don't dare to drink coffee now." Xue Heng rubbed his hair and fell on the sofa. "I used to drink every day, but now I'm drinking too much and I can't fall asleep at night."
Xue Zhilan raised his eyebrows and said as if he was pointing out: "You are not young anymore. After you are over forty years old, you have to start to understand health preservation."
"Yeah." Xue Heng narrowed his eyes and smiled: "When the meeting the day before yesterday, the young employee turned the air to twenty degrees. I happened to sit in the air outlet and couldn't stand it after less than ten minutes. I hurriedly raised the temperature and changed the direction of the wind. I kept calling cold, but the young man next to me was still fanning the air and shouting too hot. I didn't know, I was shocked. I am indeed old."
Xue Zhilan hummed softly and asked in a low voice: "I know I am old, why are you still so leisurely? You don't plan to live like this for the rest of your life, right?"
Forehead?
Xue Heng's eyes turned slightly and he touched his nose awkwardly.
"Dad...I'm pretty good now. Let's talk about it when Xiaohan grows up."
Xue Zhilan sighed and said quietly: "In the eyes of parents, even if the child is a gray-haired old man, he is still their child. Xiaohan used to be a few years old, and I can understand these things when she grows up. But soon, she will become a junior high school student. In less than a few years, she will grow into a graceful girl. In your eyes, she will always be your little baby and will always be a child who cannot grow up. Don't use Xiaohan as an excuse. Your happiness and her happiness can be parallel to each other."
"Dad, it's too difficult." Xue Heng frowned and whispered: "No matter who I look for, Xiaohan is always an outsider or a stranger. The person I want to look for must be accepted by Xiaohan. In addition, if the other party cannot accept Xiaohan, I will never consider it."
Xue Zhilan asked: "Didn't you think about finding another one over the years? Can't you find a similar one on the billions of people on the earth?"
"Recently..." Xue Heng stammered: "I've been dating a professional woman who has business dealings recently."
Xue Zhilan raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Who is? Be careful!"
What to do if you say so general? Since you have already said it, just make it clear. What a silly man!
Xue Heng, hehe, hehe smiled awkwardly.
"Dad, don't ask for it for the time being. I just think everyone can talk well, and they have a good family, so I give each other a chance to get in touch with each other and see if there is any chance to have a deeper relationship. The horoscope is not yet spoken, so don't ask too much."
"Similar?" the old man asked: "The other party is also a single-parent family? Divorced? Widowed? Boy or girl? How old is it?"
Xue Heng knew that his father would definitely ask the question to the end, so he had no choice but to explain: "Single parents are also divorced. The other party has a boy who is two years older than Xiaohan and is now in junior high school."
"Ah..." Xue Zhilan couldn't help but sigh again: "Although they feel sympathy and seem to have similarities, in fact, both families are complicated and it is difficult to integrate into them. You must be mentally prepared for this."
"I know." Xue Heng smiled bitterly: "She is also a very rational person, just like I think. For her, her son and work are all hers. For me, her daughter and family are all mys. If the two children can't accept it, or one of them shakes their heads, it means it's impossible."
"Does Xiaohan know?" Xue Zhilan asked.
Xue Heng shook his head: "We have just started and don't want her to know before we make sure."
After hearing this, the old father frowned slightly.
"What if the children all object after you make sure? You are in your forties! The more complicated the situation is, the more you should clearly distinguish them. The clearer and more open the matter, the easier it is to develop in a better direction."
Xue Heng was slightly stunned, and turned to a obscure and smiled softly.
"Dad, I...I don't seem to have a strong feeling with her. Maybe I will separate naturally after dating for a while."
The old man frowned in confusion and asked, "Where is the other party? It's the same as you? It's all like this 'indifferent' attitude?"
"Yeah." Xue Heng smiled bitterly: "At our age, we are all people who have come through the wind and waves. We have long seen through the love-hate entanglements and ups and downs of the world. She is very calm and rational, so is me. We just try to see if we can live together. There is no sign of positiveness yet."
When Xue Zhilan heard this, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
"All of these people are, why bother to try it? No need."
As for what he said, both of them had an "indifferent" attitude towards "remarriage".
Single-parent families are inherently complicated, so it is definitely not easy for two small families to merge into one big family.
If both sides have a firm attitude, work hard and cooperate with each other, the effect may still be unsatisfactory, let alone such a perfunctory attitude!
Xue Heng smiled and asked, "How can you know if you have a chance if you don't try it? No matter how slim it is, it's impossible. Let's talk about it if you try it."
"The attitude is not correct!" Xue Zhilan pointed out the key point directly: "How could there be a chance!"
Forehead?
Xue Heng yawned and stood up.
"Dad, it's almost two o'clock, go to bed early. You have to help pick up Xiao Yue tomorrow, right? Don't get up tomorrow morning."
Xue Zhilan stretched his chin and said in a deep voice: "Sit down."
The old father issued the order and said that his son had no reason to refuse. Even though he was reluctant, he still sat down.
Xue Zhilan suggested: "Since you decide to give it a try, you have to make it public openly - we can not do it for the time being, but Xiaohan must know first."
"This..." the son hesitated.
Xue Zhilan said earnestly: "Xiaohan is no longer an ignorant child. Some things are hidden from her, which is more harmful than telling her directly. She is a child grown up from a single-parent family and is much more sensitive than other children. The more you hide from her, the more likely you are to counterproductive. Regardless of whether you and this colleague are possible, you have to let Xiaohan know that you have the intention to reorganize your family. Even if she can't accept this woman, she has to make her feel a little prepared. Without this, there may be another tomorrow, sooner or later."
