Zhang Ling led Xiaodouzi out of the bedroom talking and laughing.

Father was saying to Li Xiang with a solemn expression:

"Both parents haven't met, no wedding, no registration at the Civil Affairs Bureau, and want my daughter to sacrifice for your Li Xiang's family, the last time your Li family's genealogy. No, this is absolutely not possible!"

As he spoke, the father slammed the table with more excitement, stood up and said loudly:

"Li Xiang! What is this? Talk to me! Who do you think my daughter is?"

Li Xiang thought that he had already vaccinated Zhang Pengtian.

He didn't expect Zhang Pengtian to shout excitedly.

He also stood up immediately, wanting to grab Zhang Pengtian's hand and drag him back to the chair to talk calmly.

"Uncle, I've said it all, please don't get excited! Wait for me to speak..."

Li Xiang also thought that Xiaodouzi was at home.

Worried that the father's emotional appearance will scare the child.

"Shut up!" Father opened Li Xiang's hand, pointed to his nose with disappointment and said, "Well, Li Xiang, I misread you."

For the sake of Zhang Ling's reputation, my father didn't want to hear Li Xiang say any more nonsense.

I don't even want Li Xiang to be an eyesore by staying at home anymore.

So the father's eyes were burning, and he moved his hand and pointed at the door and shouted:

"Get out, get out, get out of my house immediately! Did you hear that?"

Xiaodouzi was frightened by his father's appearance, and immediately hid behind Zhang Ling and said:
"Grandpa looks so scary! Mom, I'm afraid!"

Xiaodouzi's trembling voice made the three of them focus their eyes.

Zhang Ling first touched the child's head in distress and said:
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Xiaodouzi is not afraid with mother here."

Then she looked at her father and said in a somewhat complaining tone:
"Dad, anyway, you also brought me up since childhood. Don't you know there is a child in the family? Look, Xiaodouzi is scared. Please sit down and talk about it if you have something to do?"

Zhang Ling's remarks are extremely normal in the eyes of many parents.

After all, many parents often say similar things when fighting in front of their children.

As everyone knows, this way of expression has a greater impact on children.

Murray Bowen, a psychologist in M ​​country and the founder of systematic family theory, once put forward a theory.

The triangulation of family relations means that the conflict between the two parties is transferred through the intervention of a third party, but it does not actually resolve the conflict.

In the family environment, children are most likely to become such a "third party".

Mentioning children is the easiest way to lose focus on the problems that adults are about to solve, and it also makes children unconsciously enter the "filling" state and fall into the "victim" mentality.

At this time, Xiaodouzi, who is a child, probably thinks in his heart because of Zhang Ling's words:

"I was really hurt and it was all my fault that dad had a fight with grandpa (or parents)."

When the closest parents quarrel, they still think contradictoryly:
"Do I need to help Dad or Mom?"

For young children, no matter who they choose to help, they will feel guilty about "betrayal".

Know that children are not obliged to assume the responsibility of resolving conflicts between adults.

It is the irresponsibility of an adult (parent) to take the child to fill the seat again and again.

So adults who are arguing should let themselves be adults first.

What Zhang Ling said just now can be said afterwards, in private, or during the replay.

But you must never say it when you are arguing.

Only then did the father suppress his anger towards Li Xiang for the sake of the child.

I hurriedly looked for a few pieces of fruit candy from a drawer.

Walking to Xiaodouzi and squatting down, he forced himself to put on a kind smile and said:

"Son, don't be afraid! Grandpa was really in a bad mood just now. Don't worry, Grandpa promises that what he said just now is definitely not aimed at you. Come, here are some candies for you to take and eat to calm your shock."

Xiaodouzi's eyes lit up when he was tempted by a few pieces of candy, as if he had forgotten the fear just now.

However, the sensible child did not immediately reach out for the candy in Grandpa's hand.

Instead, she looked up at Zhang Ling beside her and called "Mom".

After Zhang Ling nodded in agreement, Xiaodouzi happily reached out and snatched the candy from Grandpa's hand.

And quickly peeled off a piece of candy, stuffed it into his mouth and ate it with a smile.

Seeing Xiaodouzi's smile again, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Sit around the table.

Then Zhang Ling looked at her father with some doubts and asked:
"Dad, what did Gang Li want to do to you? It made you, who has always been prudent, lose your composure!"

"He..." My father still couldn't completely suppress the anger in his heart. The moment he saw Li Xiang, he was afraid that he could no longer control his emotions, so he said angrily, "Ask him!"

Zhang Ling's attitude towards her father was a little helpless, but she still looked at Li Xiang on the other side.

Li Xiang seemed to be waiting for her gaze.

So before she could speak, he looked very serious and said:

"Ling'er, the thing is like this. Just now my uncle asked about the specific details of filling in the score in today's family sacrificial ceremony. I just told my uncle the truth about what we said before. Uncle, he..."

When Li Xiang mentioned Zhang Pengtian, he felt helpless and couldn't continue.

It was also because Zhang Ling saw what happened next.

"what?"

After hearing what Li Xiang said, his father immediately stood up like an explosion.

After seeing Xiaodouzi in front of him, suppressing his anger, he sat down again and questioned Zhang Ling:
"So you agree with what he said?"

"Yes!" Zhang Ling nodded.

"My silly girl! Why did you agree to such a big matter without discussing it with Father Wei?"

Father's words revealed endless grief.

After all, the father didn't know what his daughter and Li Xiang were really thinking.

I deeply feel that the daughter I have raised for many years was abducted by Li Xiang.

It's a bit like what is often performed in film and television dramas, the daughter-in-law is tricked by the bad boy and steals the household registration book and quietly registers for marriage.

It's just that his daughter was abducted without even considering her legal status.

How could Zhang Pengtian bear this?

Zhang Ling looked at her father's appearance, and there was a voice in her mind, which kept blaming her for her guilt.

What made her feel uncomfortable was that her whole body collapsed like hunger, and she staggered and almost fell sideways.

Fortunately, Li Xiang appeared by his side in time and pulled her into his arms.

"Zhang Ling, are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

She looked at him with a pale face, shook her head and said:

"No, it's okay, maybe, maybe some hypoglycemia, and my body is a little weak."

Where did Xiaodouzi know?

Hypoglycemia requires sugar supplementation.

So the little girl immediately stuffed one of the candies Zhang Pengtian gave her into Zhang Ling's mouth.

Looking at her with distressed little eyes, she asked:

"Mom, are you feeling better now?"

Zhang Ling smiled and nodded without saying a word. At the same time, she gently brushed her palm across the child's cheek, pinching and rubbing the earlobe lightly.

Xiaodouzi smiled as if enjoying it very much, and his little head felt as if he was completely asleep in the palm of his hand.

Father's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

Just a little weird!
Zhang Ling had never suffered from hypoglycemia before.

Today's hypoglycemia is a bit strange no matter how you think about it.

After all, Zhang Pengtian didn't live a long life in vain.

Some things were not clearly stated, but he could still see the clues.

Zhang Ling's face was pale, but there was no trace of sweating;

His body movements seemed weak, and his voice had been disguised, but the excitement of the young man's breath could still be clearly heard.

At this point in the analysis, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of disappointment.

It's true that children can't be controlled by their mothers, and girls can't be controlled by their fathers.

However, it seems that Li Xiang is still taking care of Zhang Ling meticulously.

There was at least a tinge of relief in my father's heart.

He took some difficult steps, took out half a bottle of white wine from a nearby cabinet, and returned to the dining table to pour wine.

Under Li Xiang's reminder, Zhang Ling looked sideways at her father and asked:

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

A wry smile appeared on the father's face, his head shook like a rattle and said:
"Drinking, of course I'm drinking. You can't be considered a real man if you don't drink alcohol. I just want to drink a few more glasses today. You don't want to stop me."

While his father was talking, he drank a glass of wine in one gulp, feeling as if he was completely intoxicated.

When Zhang Ling heard this, she wanted to stand up and snatch the wine glass from her father.

Li Xiang seemed to have successfully predicted the result.

He stood up first, put his hand on Zhang Ling's shoulder, and successfully pushed Zhang Ling back to sit on the chair.

"Forget it, it won't hurt to let uncle take a sip."

Just as Zhang Ling wanted to respond, his father pointed at Li Xiang with a trembling hand and said:
"Li wants you to listen to me."

Li Xiang responded humbly:

"Uncle, tell me, junior Li wants to listen."

He was not humble, and for fear of offending his father, he directly blocked him and asked Zhang Ling to accompany him to the family sacrifice.

So because of Li Xiang's attitude, Zhang Pengtian was much gentler and said:

"Now I don't care about how you lied to my daughter anymore."

Lied to your daughter?
Li Xiang didn't say anything, but thought that with Zhang Ling's intelligence, he could deceive her?
On the surface, Zhang Ling seemed to be at a disadvantage in this matter.

But in fact, Zhang Ling made up for the excess losses at work.

She instructed Bie Shanliu to clearly state it in the contract with Zhihua Technology.

During the cooperation period, the group has the right to use the relevant patented technology of Zhihua Technology for free. Zhihua Technology only takes [-]% of the income generated by the two cooperation projects.

This kind of cooperation terms looks like an unequal treaty no matter how you look at it.

In order to allow Zhang Ling to accompany him to participate in the family sacrifice, Li Xiang chose to agree behind his back.

For this reason, waiting for the real Li Xiang to come back, Li Xiang really doesn't know, how should he report the current work?

Zhang Ling wanted to explain something for Li Xiang at this moment, but Li Xiang seemed to have guessed her thoughts again.

He grabbed Zhang Ling's hand and shook it and said softly:

"No need. I know Uncle is upset, and it won't hurt to say a few words. Let Uncle speak to his heart's content."

In his father's opinion, Li Xiang's behavior of whispering to Zhang Ling was too intimate.

Those harsh words that had just been brewed in his heart for a while, had already reached his lips but could not be uttered.

Father sighed with some helplessness and said:
"The matter has come to this point, and I am not a person who is ignorant and unreasonable. People in my old Zhang family always keep their word. Since Zhang Ling has promised you, I will never stop anything."

"Well, I knew that uncle was the most reasonable."

After all, he still needs to speak out some flattering words in person.

This is also a necessary means to ease the tension.

"But you, Li Xiang, must give me a promise. After this matter is over, the parents of both parties will meet, register with the civil affairs, and hold a grand wedding. You hear that?"

Sure enough, parents and relatives always think of their children most.

Zhang Ling's eyes became moist when she heard her father's words.

At the same time, he couldn't help calling "Dad" with a bit of a coquettish feeling.

What Zhang Pengtian said was exactly what Li Xiang had always thought about.

He agreed without hesitation.

It's just that it may be a bit difficult for my father to see his parents.

His father passed away unexpectedly, and his mother remarried. She hasn't seen her for many years, and she doesn't know whether she is dead or alive.

To be honest, Li Xiang didn't want to know whether his mother was dead or alive at all.

One took away the compensation money that her father had sacrificed his life for, and resolutely chose to abandon him as a fool, in order to pursue what she called personal happiness.

Li Xiang is not an unreasonable person.

It never occurred to me to hinder my mother's pursuit of personal happiness.

But as a mother, when you pursue your personal happiness, have you ever considered that there is another him?

Apparently, his mother hadn't thought about it.

So he imagined that if he saw his mother in the future, he only wanted to say something to her.

"I'm sorry, but before you pursue your so-called happiness next time, please don't give birth to me as an oil bottle, okay?"

Therefore, in the long river of his life, there will always be only traces of his grandmother who passed away not long ago.

He only thinks of himself as a grandson. Monkeys usually jump out of cracks in rocks.

forget about it!
The family of three simply ate a few bites of breakfast at Zhang Ling's house.

So they went hand in hand to Li's ancestral hall.

On the way, in the car, Zhang Ling finally asked her doubts.

Li Xiang responded with a smile:
"Whether you can access the family tree? I really don't know about it. Of course, it would be good for Xiaodouzi if the family tree is available. Xiaodouzi can enjoy the free medical care and education provided by the family. If not, then Just take Xiaodouzi to play."

These are really Li Xiang's arrangements.

Said that if the patriarch made any request that he could not meet.

Then he proposed the condition that the names of Zhang Ling and Xiaodouzi be included in the genealogy.

According to the rules of family genealogy, it is generally impossible for the patriarch to agree.

In this way, Li Xiang can easily refuse the patriarch's request.

Zhang Ling looked a little worried and reminded:
"I remember that there is a special mark in the invitation letter that says that people who are not from the Li clan are not allowed to be brought to the scene. Is it really okay for you to take Xiaodouzi rashly like this?"

Li Xiang smiled calmly and said:
"Don't worry! I am an important family member they specially invited to participate in the sacrifice. Xiaodouzi is my daughter again. If they dare to reject Xiaodouzi, I will take you away immediately. It's nothing."

This is also one of the strategies that Zhenli wanted to design for him to avoid the trouble of clan sacrifices.

Xiaodouzi jumped with joy when he heard Li Xiang's words.

The little girl didn't expect her position in Li Xiang's heart to be so important.

Li thought that this father could not participate in the clan sacrifice for her.

For this reason, Xiaodouzi called "Dad" with a happy smile.

To Li Xiang, the sound of father was as sweet as eating honey.
