thoughtful

"Your grandpa wants to see me?"

Hearing the news, Lei Meng sat on the bench in the small park, so startled that the melon seeds in his hand dropped.

Song Sifan picked up the melon seeds, cracked open the melon seeds and threw them into his open mouth in surprise.

Lei Meng chewed with a complicated face, and asked, "You still have a grandfather?"

Song Sifan took the remaining melon seeds from his hands, peeled them and put them in his hands: "Why don't I have a grandfather? My father didn't just pop out of a rock."

"No, no, what I mean is, why haven't you mentioned it to me?" Lei Meng frowned and looked at the melon seeds in his hand, losing his desire to eat.

"Grandparents also need to be notified in advance? Is this also the rule of dating in China?"

"No, it's not... Hey, there's no such rule, I just... just..." Raymond thought for a while, "I'm a little surprised."

"surprise?"

Raymond looked at him, not daring to speak out his thoughts.Aren't the awesome protagonists in ordinary novels both of their parents dead?As a result, Song Sifan, as a person who is suitable for being the protagonist in all aspects, not only his parents are still alive, but also his grandpa and grandpa are in good condition... Grandpa is already so awesome, so what about grandpa?

Thinking of this, Lei Meng became a little curious: "What kind of person is your grandfather? I haven't heard you mention him before."

"My grandpa..." Song Sifan peeled the last melon seed, stood up clapping his hands, and smiled at Lei Meng, "You will know when you go."

"..." Lei Meng had no choice but to stand up and walk back with Song Sifan.Today was the weekend, they went back to Lao Lei's house for dinner, and happened to take a walk in a small park next to their house after dinner.

"I used to play in this park when I was a child. There is a rockery in the middle of the park, and a pavilion was built on the hill. It is a famous place for exchange of chess players in City B. Every night, many chess fans gather here to compete. My dad is also a chess fan. , I spend here every day after work, until my mother called me to call him home for dinner at dinner time... Later, when I went to study in City C, my sister called him..." It was getting late, night fell, Raymond pointed in one direction and could only vaguely see the shadow of a mountain.

Song Sifan smiled and listened to his memories of childhood fun, occasionally interjecting a few words: "What chess?"

"Chess, can you play?"

"No, I can only play chess...but my grandpa and my father can play chess from China."

"Haha, people in China should know how to play chess, at least they know the basics, it doesn't matter how good they are..."

"What's the most basic way to play?"

"For example, 'Ma Zou Ri, Xiang Fei Tian' and the like, I only know a little bit, and sometimes I play two games with my dad."

……

The two walked and chatted, and went back to Lao Lei's house to say goodbye to Lei Zhentian and Li Yuping. Lei Meng told them by the way that they were going to Grandpa Song Sifan's house next week, but they were not coming.

Lei Zhentian asked about Grandpa Song Sifan's physical condition and learned that he also likes chess. Lei Zhentian cheerfully said that he would ask for advice next time we meet.

Next weekend, it was rare for Lei Meng to drag himself out of bed early, and walked slowly to wash his face and brush his teeth. Passing the living room, he fixedly looked at Song Sifan who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper and drinking coffee.Song Sifan felt something, and looked up at him: "What's wrong?"

Raymond turned his head, went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.When he came out, she jumped to Song Sifan's side and exchanged a kiss with mint flavored toothpaste with him.

Song Sifan let him kiss him for a while, patted him, opened the chair for him to sit at the dining table, walked into the kitchen and brought a fried egg and milk, and put them on the dining table.

Raymond sat and squinted his eyes for a while, then became more awake, and gulped down the milk.He put down the cup, smacked his mouth twice, frowned and thought for a few minutes: "I remember today seems to be a big day..."

"Then?"

"Then I can't remember what day it was..."

Song Sifan took out a tissue silently and wiped the milk marks for him: "Let's go see grandpa after eating."

Lei Meng sat up straight in shock: "Oh yes..." He stuffed the fried egg into his mouth and chewed, and asked vaguely, "What kind of person is your grandpa?"

Song Sifan rested his arm on the dining table and supported his chin, thought for a while: "He is a wise old man."

"...In your family, is there anything simple and easy to do?"

"Yes, I have."

"Who?"

"you."

Lei Meng choked his throat with a mouthful of fried eggs, and it took him a long time to swallow it. His old face was flushed: "Hey!"

Song Sifan cleaned up the dishes with a smile: "Go and change clothes, I'm going to warm up the car first."

Last Christmas, Lei Meng and Song Sifan returned to the United States and formally met the members of the Samuel family. Although Ms. Lucia still had that haughty look on her face, at least she didn't raise any objections.Lei Meng spent Christmas with such apprehension, and even met Song Sifan's grandfather.Since he memorized his grandfather's name, Max, he found that whether it is financial news or magazines, he especially likes to use Max's name as an example.

Once or twice, Raymond really wanted to say that that man was my daughter-in-law's grandfather!

"Is your grandfather like this too? Doesn't everyone know everyone?" It was rare for Song Sifan to drive, and Lei Meng sat in the passenger seat with the window open, and the wind blew his bangs wantonly.

"Well," Song Sifan glanced at him, implying, "You should know him too."

"How is it possible! Among the acquaintances I know, there is no one with the surname Song except you!" Lei Meng was very disdainful.

Song Sifan just smiled and didn't speak.

After Song Sifan parked his car next to a two-story building in the suburbs, after the bodyguard verified his identity, and took him upstairs, and opened the door to see the deity, Lei Meng felt that he had been severely slapped in the face.

"City... mayor?!"

The old man sitting in a wheelchair and smiling at them was exactly Song Jianwu, the former mayor of City B whom Lei Meng had seen on the news all day when he was a child.

Song Jianwu is a vigorous old man. He has not been in good health in recent years. He is sitting in a wheelchair and basking in the sun on the balcony.Seeing them coming, he motioned for the medical staff to push him to the living room, and nodded with a smile: "Sit down, didn't Si Fan tell you?"

Song Sifan pretended to be innocent and sat on the mahogany sofa.

Raymond gritted his teeth and glared at him. This guy was sure to scare him.

Probably because he often saw it on TV when he was a child, Lei Meng was not so nervous about Song Jianwu, and soon his talkative nature broke out, and the two chatted happily.

Song Sifan grew up in the United States, and only came back to City B occasionally during holidays.When Song Jianwu was the mayor at the time, he was busy with official duties and didn't have much time to accompany his grandson.As a result, the topic of the grandfather and grandson did not talk to Raimondo.

Lei Meng expressed his feelings about the changes in City B over the years, and praised Song Jianwu's influence on the development and construction of City B both openly and secretly. He made Song Jianwu very happy, and the chatterbox opened up, so he learned a lot about the past of Song Sifan's family.

Throughout his life in politics, Song Jianwu had two hobbies, playing chess and listening to opera.The name of Song Sifan's father Song Qiujiang comes from the Sichuan opera "Autumn River", and "Sifan" is a Kunqu opera.

Song Jianwu's official career is smooth, he has no time to take care of his family, and his husband and wife divorced early. Fortunately, Song Qiujiang has always been very competitive. After graduating from University B, Song Qiujiang went to the United States to study for a graduate student in the Department of Finance.I went to Zia Company as an intern during the summer, met Lucia by chance, and they fell in love at first sight.At that time, Max just wanted to quit, and was about to give up Zia's position as president to Lucia.

Lucia is young and female, difficult to convince, succession is difficult for a while.Song Qiujiang stayed in Zia after graduation to help Lucia manage the company. By the time Song Jianwu realized it, the two had already married in the United States.

Song Jianwu is a traditional person. Now that he is married, it is not easy to ask his son to do treacherous things again, so he just nodded and asked his grandson to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Lucia is busy non-stop in the position of the president, she gets pregnant unexpectedly, and she doesn't want to have another child after giving birth to a boy.The Samuel family must have someone to inherit the family business, and the heir must be named Samuel, and Song Jianwu took it for granted that his grandson must be named Song.When Song Qiujiang was in a dilemma, Lucia quietly hugged Song Sifan and registered for a good household registration in the United States, and the dust settled.

"Song Sifan" is the name Song Jianwu had chosen when Lucia was pregnant, and it can only be used as a nickname in China, and only Song Jianwu is called it.This made Song Jianwu very depressed. In addition to the different ideas, there was an additional layer of estrangement between him and his daughter-in-law, almost to the point where they would never communicate with each other.

When Song Sifan fell out with Lucia because of his love affair with Li Keran, he had nowhere to go, and when he was desperate, he thought of his grandfather and ran to City B to seek refuge with Song Jianwu.Although Song Jianwu was also very opposed to homosexuality, he took in Song Sifan based on the concept of "an enemy of an enemy is a friend", and used his influence in City B to make him settle down in City B.

Only then did the follow-up happen.It can be said that without Song Jianwu, Lei Meng might not have had the chance to meet Song Sifan.

Raymond was too shocked to speak after hearing the whole story.No wonder Song Sifan dared to disobey Lucia's orders so boldly, it turned out to be genetic.Fortunately, Lucia has been in the business world for many years, and she has been able to hold her breath. Otherwise, with her character of being desperate when she was young, how could she tolerate Raymond's jumping so far.

After the story was finished, it was time for lunch. Lei Meng and Song Sifan had lunch with Song Jianwu.Hearing that Lei Meng could play chess, Song Jianwu dragged Lei Meng to kill a few more games. Then he took a sip of tea and looked at the time: "It's getting late, do you want to stay for dinner?"

Song Sifan stood up: "No need, I'll see you next time."

Lei Meng also quickly stood up and said goodbye to Song Jianwu: "Goodbye, Grandpa! Let's talk when we have time!"

"Well," Song Jianwu smiled, and his eyes fell on Song Sifan again, "This young man is not bad, you have a good time."

Song Sifan stagnated slightly, and frowned: "Grandpa, I've always wanted to ask, did you do something?"

Raymond looked from one to the other, wondering what charade they were playing.

Song Jianwu nodded calmly: "That little star, I recommended him to a quite famous female director. Otherwise, with his popularity, how could he have the opportunity to cooperate with a big star. You are not smart enough to fall in love, and you have to trouble your elders Check it out for you."

etc!There's something wrong with this plot!Raymond suddenly became nervous. He agreed to meet his parents, but how did he become a whitewashed ex!He stared at Song Sifan intently, for fear that he would do something ridiculous.

Fortunately, Song Sifan just sighed and left without saying anything, grabbing Lei Meng's hand.

"Yes, Raymond."

When he reached the door, Lei Meng was stopped by Song Jianwu again, and he turned around and said, "What else is there for Grandpa?"

"Is your father's name Lei Zhentian?"

"Ah."

"Call your dad to play chess with me when you have time."

"it is good."

Back in the car, Lei Meng asked anxiously: "You won't just..."

"No, Grandpa just built a bridge. If he doesn't want to walk across it, it's useless."

"Huh..." Raymond let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a lingering fear in his heart.

Song Sifan glanced at him with a smile: "What are you still worried about?"

"I always feel like Lucia is going to throw me a check someday and ask me to leave you."

Song Sifan chuckled and said, "If she throws you away, follow it."

He paused, and continued: "Anyway, I can't live without you."

The author has something to say: Follow-up plot:

Song Jianwu and Lei Zhentian became chess friends, they hit it off and became brothers.

Song Jianwu happily pulled Song Sifan, pointed to Lei Meng and said to him: "Come on, this is my brother's son, called uncle!"

Song Sifan: "..."
