Chapter 132 Duoduo’s Parents
Lin Jianming is exactly seventy this year, and his wife Song Qingwei is two years younger than him.
The two have retired long ago, and everything in the company has been handed over to their son Lin Libo.
Because he was born in the army and got married relatively late, his son Lin Libo is only forty-three this year, so he is still in the prime of life.
Lin Libo is busy with the company's affairs on weekdays, and his wife Huang Jiayan takes care of his family. The two have a son, Lin Wentao, who is only thirteen years old and is in the first grade of junior high school.
Xia Jing's learning environment is very complicated. Although he is only in the first grade of junior high school, he has a lot of homework and courses on weekdays.
Therefore, Lin Jianming and his wife did not dare to disturb his studies too much on weekdays.
I only go to see my grandson when I have a rest.
Lin Libo and his wife are relatively open-minded. The weekend cram schools are not fully booked for Lin Wentao. They are arranged on Saturday and Sunday mornings. He is allowed to rest in the afternoon. The child must also balance work and rest and not be too tight.
So after Lin Wentao went to cram school on Sunday morning, the couple went back to their home.
I didn’t drive, didn’t ask the driver to take me there, and didn’t even choose to take the subway, but chose to take the bus.
I don’t know if it’s because they are older, but they like to take public transportation.
Whenever they take the bus, they seem to have a feeling of going back in time.
"Taotao is too tired. He has school homework, extracurricular homework, and can't take a good rest on rest days. Taotao will take over his father's class from now on..."
After Song Qingwei got in the car, she kept nagging Lin Jianming.
Lin Jianming just listened with a smile, because every time she came back from her son's house, she always said the previous paragraph, and he was used to it.
"I'm talking to you, are you listening?"
Song Qingwei was a little dissatisfied when she saw him smiling and saying nothing.
"Listen here, keep talking..."
"What do you think? Are you going to let your daughter-in-law act like this?"
"Then why didn't you tell your daughter-in-law?"
"I'm not afraid of making trouble with her. It's hard to do it with Wen Bo in the middle." Song Qingwei still felt sorry for her son after all.
"You, Taotao is their son after all. His daughter-in-law will never harm him. The general environment is like this. If Taotao doesn't learn, if others do, he will fall behind..."
"What is the purpose of studying? Our family is not short of those two dollars. Are we afraid that we will not be able to survive in the future?"
This is her grandson. If it were her son, she would never say such things.
"You can't say that. You still need to be educated well, otherwise no matter how many family businesses you have, it won't be enough." Lin Jianming didn't like hearing her say that.
He was from the army and believed that boys should suffer a little hardship. Song Qingwei was too spoiled to children.
"Our Taotao is not that kind of person from the beginning. When he grows up, he will definitely not be a bad learner." Song Qingwei vowed.
"Nowadays, children are like this. If you want Taotao to have less hardship, then send Taotao abroad." Lin Jianming said.
"How about that?"
Song Qingwei rejected Lin Jianming's idea without even thinking about it.
Now that we both live in Xia Jing, we already see each other once a week. But if we go abroad, we won't have to see each other once a year.
"Don't make this idea based on your daughter-in-law." Song Qingwei warned uneasily.
"I just said it casually." Lin Jianming said.
In fact, Lin Libo and Huang Jiayan really considered this issue, but later gave up because Lin Wentao was too young.
If Lin Wentao is sent abroad, Huang Jiayan will definitely go abroad to take care of him, and Lin Jianming's career is all in China, so there will definitely be less gathering and more separation.
Lin Libo is only forty-three years old this year. He is young and rich. There is no shortage of girls to like him.
So even if Lin Libo is willing, Huang Jiayan is not willing. Don't take care of the child until the end, leaving nothing but the child.
"Have you asked your wife if she wants to have a second child?" Since the country has allowed two children, the couple has wanted to have another child.
The reasons are simply that children need a companion, someone will share the burden when they are old, and having multiple children is more fun.
But the couple had no intention of having a second child, which made Lin Jianming and his wife a little anxious.
Every time I go to see my grandson, I will try to make some insinuations, saying that I want them to have a second child.
"No, you don't know how to talk about it. You talk too much and it's annoying." Song Qingwei said a little unhappy.
Lin Jianming said no more and looked out the car window.
Speaking of the second child, he thought of his daughter Duoduo.
When I was young, as time passed, my daughter’s appearance gradually faded in my memory.
But as she gets older, her daughter's voice and appearance become clearer, and sometimes she feels as if she is right in front of her.
This is what happens when people get older. They remember some things in the past more clearly.
In the past few decades, things have developed so fast that Xia Jing outside the car window hardly seemed familiar to him.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He misses the past time, but time does not miss the past, everything is changing.
"Duoduo should be married, and the child should be as old as when she was lost." Song Qingwei said quietly.
After the murderer escaped, they did not find their daughter Duoduo.
Some people say that Duoduo has been killed long ago, while others say that Duoduo was sold overseas.
The couple also tried hard, but could not find the whereabouts of their daughter.
As if thinking of her daughter-in-law again, Song Qingwei couldn't help but say: "Duoduo has been obedient since she was a child, but she is very good."
"It's been so many years, I won't talk about this anymore." Lin Jianming said.
Obviously, he didn't want to talk about this topic. After so many years, Duoduo was still the deepest pain in his heart.
He blamed himself for Duoduo's disappearance and felt that everything happened because of him.
For a moment, the car was silent, with only the sound of the bus engine and the opening and closing of the valve.
"Di'anmen East has arrived at the station. Passengers getting off the train please pick up their belongings..."
"Let's go."
Lin Jianming got up and got out of the car, and Song Qingwei hurriedly followed.
Lin Jianming walked forward with his hands behind his back, Song Qingwei followed behind, and no one spoke.
Until a battery car passed by them and almost hit Song Qingwei, Lin Jianming stretched out his hand to pull it and said: "Watch the road."
Then the silence was broken.
"You go back first, I'll buy some food." Song Qingwei said.
Lin Jianming nodded and walked home alone, but when passing by an alley, he saw a few old men sitting around playing chess at the entrance of the alley, so he stopped and watched.
In this way, it would be better for Song Qingwei to go home early than to buy groceries.
Even early in the morning, there were many tourists in the alley, and some residents were so disturbed that they even posted signs on their doors such as "Private Residence, Refuse to Visit."
Song Qingwei carried the vegetables, carefully avoiding tourists, and finally came to the alley heading home.
Their home is located in an alley behind a hutong, so few tourists come here, so it can be considered a quiet place in the middle of the hustle and bustle.
She slapped her sore waist with her backhand and continued to move forward.
But at this moment, she suddenly stopped because there was a little girl standing in front of her, looking at her with confusion.
But...but that little girl, why does she look so familiar?
