He picked up the phone and called out respectfully, “Minister Huo.”
The respected Minister Huo said to him in a difficult tone, “Secretary Liu...”
This heavy tone shocked Secretary Liu.
“Minister Huo, what’s wrong?”
Huo Tingguang sighed disconsolately. “I’m going to apologize to you today.”
This sentence stunned Secretary Liu.
“You...”
“Without your permission, I gave your Da Bao and Er Bao to someone else...”
Secretary Liu could no longer hear everything else Huo Tingguang said.
There was only one sentence in his mind: I gave your Da Bao and Er Bao to someone else...
After hanging up the phone, Secretary Liu’s heart was bleeding.
His Da Bao and Er Bao!
The Fang family.
Qiao Jiusheng, Lisa, and Aunt Jin were preparing dinner together.
Tonight, they did not prepare a sumptuous meal. There were two plates of tofu including a plate of Mapo tofu and a bowl of fish head tofu soup, two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a cold dish.
Qiao Jiusheng said, “These dishes are too little. Chi... Dad definitely hasn’t eaten well these few days. Let’s add a few more dishes.”
Lisa waved her hand and said, “No, I specially went to ask Granny Lin next door today. She said that a person who is released from prison has to eat tofu for the first time he is back. We can’t make too many dishes. He has to finish them and not leave any remainders. Having leftovers is not an auspicious sign.”
Qiao Jiusheng knew that Lisa was afraid.
She gave up.
The three women were busy in the kitchen while Fang Yusheng sat in the courtyard and played chess with Fang Zicheng and Fang Zikai.
As the father and sons played, they talked about what happened today.
Fang Zikai, who was talkative, kept talking about the phone call that afternoon. Fang Zicheng stared at the chessboard thoughtfully and thought about his next move.
Inevitably, Fang Zikai thought of the scene of Chi Baoguang using the dagger to slash Fang Pingjue’s ear that night. His small shoulders trembled as he said in a low voice, “Dad, actually, I think our biological grandfather is a little fierce.”
Hearing this, Fang Zicheng actually nodded silently.
For the first time, he felt that his brother had good judgment.
Fang Yusheng saw their reaction. He sighed and thought for a while before saying, “All these years, your biological grandfather has suffered a lot.”
The two little fellows looked up at him and waited for him to continue.
Fang Yusheng told them about what happened in the cliff prison.
He did not hide it from the two children. They had to come into contact with some dark side. However, when he talked about these things, he was very careful with his words. When it came to scenes like killing each other, he talked about it as a gang fight. When he talked about the riots in prison that were like rape and gang fights, he described them as bullying.
After hearing about the cruel competition for the King position, Fang Zikai and Fang Zicheng fell silent.
Fang Zicheng asked, “Then Grandpa had to fight with those people too?”
Fang Yusheng nodded and said, “Yes, he has fought 11 group fights in more than thirty years.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Zikai said softly, “Grandpa is very pitiful.” After saying that, he thought about that scene and suddenly said, “Grandpa must be very afraid when he kills people, right?”
“How could he not be afraid?” Fang Yusheng touched the two children’s hair with his hands and placed his hands on the top of their heads. He said, “Your grandfather used to be a kind and upright person who only wanted to do research and development. His body was not strong, and his fists were soft. If he wasn’t forced to, why would he choose to let his hands be stained with blood?”
Fang Zicheng said, “Every man for himself.”
Fang Yu looked at his eldest son.
Fang Zikai asked his brother in confusion, “Every man for himself. What does that mean?”
Fang Zicheng said, “You’ll understand when you study.”
“...Oh.”
As she spoke, Aunt Jin ran over.
She said loudly to Fang Yusheng, “Young Master Yusheng, Mr. Chi is back!”
Fang Yusheng brought the children to the door.
When they walked to the front hall, Qiao Jiusheng and Lisa put down their work and walked out of the kitchen.
The family walked to the door of the house together and saw Chi Baoguang.
Chi Baoguang did not ask anyone to pick him up. He entered the Fang family’s entrance and walked straight ahead. He walked around the cement road by the lake and walked towards the house. Fang Yusheng saw that he was holding a birdcage with two canaries in it. His body froze and his expression changed slightly.
Chi Baoguang finally reached the entrance of the house.
He carried the birdcage and looked at Lisa first.
“I’m back,” he said to Lisa.
Lisa hummed in agreement and could not help but pounce on him.
The two of them hugged each other tightly. Chi Baoguang said to Lisa, “I won’t leave you again.”
Lisa was finally relieved.
After the two of them separated, Chi Baoguang raised the cage in his hand in front of Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yusheng was speechless.
“Don’t tell me you stole it!” Fang Yusheng gritted his teeth.
Chi Baoguang seemed to have expected this. He took out a brand new phone, opened the photo album, and handed it to Fang Yusheng. “Look, in order to prove that Secretary Liu gave this to me personally, I even recorded a video.”
Fang Yusheng leaned over suspiciously.
The phone was held by someone else, and the camera was directed at Chi Baoguang and Secretary Liu.
In the video, Secretary Liu carried the birdcage with a farewell smile and handed it to Chi Baoguang. Chi Baoguang was especially fast and snatched away his birdcage. The two of them had their arms over each other’s shoulders. Chi Baoguang was much taller than Secretary Liu, and in order to hold Chi Baoguang’s shoulders, Secretary Liu even tiptoed.
Even so, he was still shorter than Chi Baoguang.
Chi Baoguang smiled at the camera and revealed his white teeth. Secretary Liu’s smile was a little stiff.
Fang Yusheng finished watching the video and had a complicated expression.
“Did you threaten him?” Secretary Liu looked helpless.
“No...”
He casually mentioned that his son liked Secretary Liu’s canaries, so Minister Huo did him a favor and agreed to give them to him.
Chi Baoguang wanted to show off in front of his son, so he praised Huo Tingguang and said that he would be a good leader in the future. Fang Yusheng naturally did not know the twists and turns. He took the cage and thanked Chi Boguang softly.
Fang Yusheng carried the cage to the courtyard and thought about it. He hung it under the crabapple tree in the West Prefecture.
He stared at the canaries and planned to visit Secretary Liu’s house someday to return the birds to him.
Even though Chi Baoguang did not say it, Fang Yusheng guessed that Secretary Liu did not give it to him willingly.
In the dining room, Qiao Jiusheng and Aunt Jin served the dishes together.
Chi Baoguang had already taken a shower, shaved, put on a brand new shirt and pants, and sat at the dining table in the dim light. He looked at the dishes on the table, and at Qiao Jiusheng, who was going back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room. He also saw the two little grandchildren who were helping out, as well as Lisa, who was arranging the dishes.. He almost cried tears of joy.
