the days are still long

Chapter 60
"Oh, then the business of your processing factory must be very good." Xia Yuzhe continued to chat with Zhao Bonian.

Zhao Bonian smiled, "How can you tell that the business of my processing factory is good?"

The teenage child didn't know how to hide it, and instinctively glanced at Zhao Bonian's wrist on the steering wheel, "It can be seen from the car you drive and the watch you wear."

Zhao Bonian raised his eyebrows, "Do you still know wristwatches?"

If you can understand "knowing cars", you can recognize the logo of Mercedes-Benz, but not everyone can recognize the watch he wears, unless you really like watches or people with good family conditions, but now a child says something like this, It made Zhao Bonian very curious.

"I used to go to a watch store to buy a sports watch, and I saw this brand you were wearing in the store." Xia Yuzhe said truthfully.

Zhao Bonian smiled, "You are quite careful, kid."

Xia Yuzhe did not get carried away by Zhao Bonian's praise, and turned his head to ask seriously, "Is the business of Uncle Zhao's processing factory very good?"

"It's not bad." Zhao Bonian said modestly.

Xia Yuzhe continued to ask, "Then if Lin Tingting wants to study abroad in the future, can you provide her tuition?"

Xia Yuzhe wasn't flying wild, but his family had plans to let him study abroad. The family was not in business, but his parents were executives of the company with high salaries, so they wanted to give their children the best education.

The child's mind is simple, and Xia Yuzhe and Lin Tingting are on good terms, so he asked this question.

Zhao Bonian didn't say yes or no, but subconsciously looked at Lin Tingting behind through the rearview mirror, "Tingting wants to study abroad?"

Lin Tingting.
I was stopped by this sudden question.

When he didn't know how to answer, Xia Yuzhe, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned his head, "Lin Tingting, if I graduate from high school and study abroad, will you go abroad with me?"

Lin Tingting.
She didn't even know how to answer, because it was something she had never thought about.

Zhao Bonian understood the purpose of the little boy talking to him.

While driving, he asked with a smile, "Student Xia, do you want Tingting to study abroad with you?"

Zhao Bonian threw the question to Xia Yuzhe again.

A mature and wise man, he wanted to gain insight into information from Xia Yuzhe's answer.

Xia Yuzhe turned back and looked at Zhao Bonian. The 14-year-old boy said seriously, "I didn't think about it before, but now that I see Lin Tingting depressed all day long, I want her to study abroad with me."

"In this way, I can take care of her." Xia Yuzhe added.

"Oh? So you like Tingting?" Zhao Bonian asked easily. He is not conservative, because the environment in which his daughter grew up made him unable to be conservative.

But Lin Tingting is not his daughter, if she falls in love at a young age, he doesn't know how Su Mei will react.

"Lin Tingting and I are good friends." The 14-year-old boy's eyes were clear. "I don't want to see her unhappy, and I don't want to see her become redundant after her parents reorganize their family."

Zhao Bonian admitted that the children around him were still mature in thinking and thought far ahead, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Xia, Uncle Zhao will never feel that Tingting is superfluous.

Uncle Zhao also has a daughter, but he is not with Uncle Zhao, so Uncle Zhao will regard Tingting as his daughter and love him at first glance. If Tingting wants to study abroad, Uncle Zhao can arrange it right away, but Tingting is still young, Uncle Zhao and Tingting Ting's mother can't go to accompany her for the time being. "

"Then if Lin Tingting wants to study abroad after graduating from high school, will you support her in this way?" Xia Yuzhe asked again.

Zhao Bonian smiled, "Uncle Zhao will support whatever Tingting wants to do, as long as it is not illegal."

"Whatever you say?" Xia Yuzhe asked.

Zhao Bonian nodded, "Keep your word."

Xia Yuzhe: "Okay, let's tick."

Mature kids make immature moves.

Zhao Bonian smiled and freed up a hand, "Okay, tick."

After checking with Zhao Bonian, Xia Yuzhe took out his phone and shook it.

"Uncle Zhao, men stand upright. I have recorded everything you said today."

"it is good."

Zhao Bonian smiled, now he really admires Xia Yuzhe for his calm mind, and he made a recording of the chat for fear that he would not honor it, such a shrewd child will definitely not be wrong in the future.

"Keep the recording well. If Uncle Zhao erodes his words, take it out and remind Uncle Zhao."

Xia Yuzhe put the phone away again, "That's what I thought."

Zhao Bonian didn't know what Lin Tingting liked to eat.So I simply took my two children to the best buffet restaurant in the city, where Western food and Chinese food are combined, seafood hot pot and desserts are all available.

"Uncle Zhao, do you often eat here?" Xia Yuzhe asked when choosing ingredients.

Compared with Lin Tingting, Xia Yuzhe was a bit too loud, constantly looking for topics with Zhao Bonian.But Lin Tingting followed him step by step, silently.

Zhao Bonian picked up an oyster, looked at it, and sighed, "Uncle Zhao, most of the time he spends out socializing, and he rarely comes here. In fact, for Uncle Zhao, simple home-cooked meals are the best. "

Xia Yuzhe smiled, "I understand, my parents said the same.

So Uncle Zhao chose this place for Lin Tingting? "

Zhao Bonian did not deny it, and brought the freshly selected oysters to Lin Tingting, Lin Tingting instinctively stretched out the plate to take it.

I heard Zhao Bonian say, "Uncle Zhao doesn't know what you two like to eat, so I can only bring you two here."

"Thank you Uncle Zhao, you really have a heart." Xia Yuzhe's conversation really didn't look like a kid who just entered junior high school, he was generous and polite, although he hadn't completely receded from his childishness.

"You're welcome, as long as Tingting and her classmates are happy." Zhao Bonian looked at Lin Tingting pointedly.

Lin Tingting pursed her lips again, but refused to speak.

After dinner, Xia Yuzhe offered to send Lin Tingting home, but Zhao Bonian did not refuse.

As a result, Xia Yuzhe went upstairs again after arriving downstairs, and instead said to Zhao Bonian, "Uncle Zhao, go and do your work. I will accompany Lin Tingting, and I will go home when Aunt Su comes back."

In this way, Zhao Bonian didn't know how to deal with it.

Although the two children are still young, they will not do anything out of the ordinary, but after all, they are alone and it is night.

And Lin Tingting didn't express her opinion, she stood with Xia Yuzhe and looked at him.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Bonian had no choice but to leave, and went downstairs after explaining a few words.

Immediately after going downstairs, he called Su Mei.

On the other side, Duan Yaning was leaning against Su Mei, the tea table was full of soda cans, and there were many crumpled cans lying on the floor tiles in a mess.

Duan Yaning was drunk, leaning against Su Mei, holding Su Mei's hand tightly, crying and laughing, scolding Cao Mingjun angrily, and speaking positive words generously. Su Mei couldn't get away from the situation.

And she wasn't worried that Xia Yuzhe and her daughter Lin Tingting would do something out of the ordinary. After contacting Xia Yuzhe a few times, Su Mei could tell that the child was sensible and measured, so she said lightly, "I know", and then hang up the phone.

Before leaving, Zhao Bonian looked up at the upstairs window, then started the car and left.

"Lin Tingting, I think Uncle Zhao is not bad."

Walking into the living room with Lin Tingting, Xia Yuzhe unloaded the schoolbag from his shoulder and put it on the sofa.

Lin Tingting also unloaded her schoolbag, and said sullenly, "Then I don't want my mother to be with him either."

"Why?" Xia Yuzhe asked without knowing why, Lin Tingting was the same age, but half a head taller than Lin Tingting.

Lin Tingting also sat down on the sofa, "I don't know why, but I just don't want my mother to be with him."

Xia Yuzhe smiled, "Lin Tingting, you are selfish, do you know that? Now that you are young, you can stay by Aunt Su's side, but when you grow up, you will have your own business and build your own Family, when Aunt Su is getting older, who will accompany her and take care of her?"

Lin Tingting looked at Xia Yuzhe, she had never thought about these things.

Now her main concern is——

"Are you going to study abroad?"

When mentioning the matter of studying abroad, Xia Yuzhe scratched his hair in embarrassment. A sensible boy would not have mentioned it if it was not to test Zhao Bonian. After all, studying abroad is not something that any family can afford.

"My parents have this idea, and I am also very curious about life abroad."

Hearing that Xia Yuzhe was really going to study abroad, Lin Tingting became disgruntled, "Xia Yuzhe, if you go abroad, then there will be no one to talk to about my worries."

"You can go study abroad with me!" Xia Yuzhe suddenly sat down beside Lin Tingting, and took the initiative to hold Lin Tingting's hand.

Lin Tingting withdrew her hand reflexively.

Xia Yuzhe.
Looking at the empty hands, the boy blushed a little, "I'm sorry, Lin Tingting, I didn't mean to take advantage of you, I——

Just a moment of urgency—

You are my best friend, so I don't want you to be unhappy. "

Xia Yuzhe kept his head down, a little afraid to face Lin Tingting.

With her hands behind her back, Lin Tingting bit her lip and watched Xia Yuzhe remain silent.

Seeing that Lin Tingting did not respond for a long time, Xia Yuzhe scratched his head in embarrassment, then grabbed his schoolbag to resolve the embarrassment, "It's getting late, let's do our homework first,"

Xia Yuzhe looked around, "Where is it written?"

Lin Tingting raised her finger and pointed to the dining table, "There it is."

Xia Yuzhe walked over with his schoolbag first, "Okay, let's sit opposite each other so that we can supervise each other."

-

Duan Yaning was really drunk and fell asleep on the sofa.

Su Mei picked up her phone and checked the time. It was past ten o'clock. If she hadn't been worried about her daughter, she would have stayed to take care of Duan Yaning.

Putting the empty soda cans into the trash bag, and helping to tidy up the house, Su Mei brought a thin blanket to cover Duan Yaning, then turned off the light and left quietly.

It was eleven o'clock when Su Mei returned home. When she opened the door and saw two children sleeping on the sofa, Su Mei remembered that Xia Yuzhe was at home with her daughter.

The two children may be too sleepy. The daughter Lin Tingting curled up on the sofa with a school uniform jacket on her body. Xia Yuzhe leaned on the sofa with her head tilted. The school uniform jacket was given to her daughter and she only wore a thin school uniform.

Seeing that Xia Yuzhe was still at home with her daughter, Su Mei blamed herself. At this time, his parents might not be so worried about their children.

Putting on slippers, Su Mei walked in lightly, and gently pushed her daughter, "Tingting, get up and go back to bed."

Lin Tingting opened her eyes in a daze, "Mom, are you back?"

"Well, go back to bed and sleep, don't catch a cold."

Su Mei's voice was very soft, and she told her daughter to wake Xia Yuzhe, but Xia Yuzhe had already woken up.

The boy rubbed his eyes, "Auntie, are you back?"

Su Mei rolled her lips and nodded, "Yes", and picked up the school uniform that was put on her daughter, "Put it on quickly, the temperature is low at night, I'm sorry, Auntie came back late, your parents must be very worried about you, Auntie will send you back .”

Xia Yuzhe took the school uniform jacket, put it on and said, "No way, auntie, my parents are away on business, and they're not at home."

When Xia Yuzhe said Su Mei in this way, she blamed herself even more. The parents of other people's children were not at home, but she let other people's children come to keep her daughter company.

Apologizing in her heart, Su Mei first comforted her daughter, "Tingting, mom is going to see off Xia Yuzhe, and I'll be back soon. If you're afraid, turn on all the lights at home, and mom will be back soon."

"En." Lin Tingting nodded.

Xia Yuzhe had already put on his coat, picked up his schoolbag and stood up again, "Auntie, I can take a taxi back by myself."

"How about that?"

It is too much to let Xia Yuzhe accompany his daughter so late, if another child takes a taxi home by himself, it is really unreasonable.

Xia Yuzhe glanced at Lin Tingting who was also standing in front of the sofa, "Auntie, I really don't need it. I'm a boy. It's fine. I usually take the car to and from school by myself. My parents never pick me up."

"It's so late, I won't worry if I don't see you walk into the house with my own eyes." Su Mei told the truth, putting Xia Yuzhe on his shoulders would not give him a chance to refuse.

Su Mei insisted, but Xia Yuzhe couldn't refuse. As Su Mei walked towards the door, Lin Tingting, who had been standing in front of the sofa and refused to go back to the room, suddenly followed.

"Mom, I'll go with you."

Sumy
Facing her mother's questioning gaze, Lin Tingting hesitated, "The house is too big, I dare not be at home by myself,"

Without waiting for Su Mei to say anything, Xia Yuzhe turned around and left Su Mei's hand on his shoulder, threw his schoolbag over his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Auntie, you should stay with Lin Tingting at home, Lin Tingting is notoriously cowardly. "

"I'm not." Lin Tingting denied, her tone was weak at all.

Su Mei also knew that her daughter was timid, especially after that incident, but it was already eleven o'clock, and it would take more than half an hour at the fastest from her place to Xia Yuzhe's house, and the two children had to go to school tomorrow.
Su Mei thought for a while and asked Xia Yuzhe, "Your parents are away on business, so do they know that you are at my house?"

Xia Yuzhe nodded, "When my parents are not at home, I will send them a WeChat message every day when I come home from school to tell them that I am home. Today I also sent them a WeChat message to tell them that the parents of my classmates have something important to do. Classmates as companions, do homework together."

Perhaps it is because the parents are busy with work that the child is so independent. Su Mei admires Xia Yuzhe's approach very much.
