Chapter 29 Safe Harbor
The family ethics drama between Ling Chong and Ling Xiao did not last long, at least a year at most. The reason for the incident was that Ling Xiao hoped to work in the police like his father when he graduated from high school, so he decided to apply
However, when she fully thought that her father would happily agree to this matter, she met with fierce opposition from Ling Chong himself. The reason for Ling Chong's opposition was simply that his line of work was too dangerous, and Ling Chong felt that Ling Xiao was naive.
Being willful is not her material, and she is worried that she will get killed sooner or later if she enters this industry.
A child with a weaker personality might have simply given up on the idea in accordance with his father's wishes. However, Ling Chong's stubborn character of never compromising on principles taught his daughter a lesson. Two stubborn bulls go against each other.
The result was that no one was willing to give in to anyone, and the long quarrel that lasted for two months almost tore the family apart. Although in the end, under the combined pressure of her parents, Ling Xiao accepted the reality and did not enter the police academy.
The incident turned into an insurmountable obstacle between father and daughter. From then on, even ordinary conversations between the two were always mixed with a trace of anger.
"Why are you two quarreling when we meet again? And in front of Aaron, why don't you give up?" Ling Chong's wife Ni Hong came out of the kitchen with the freshly fried dishes and complained to her unhappy husband who was sitting on the chair.
.
"Do I want to quarrel with her? She finds fault with me when we meet. It's like taking a gun." Even his wife doesn't understand him, Ling Man looks aggrieved.
"She is a child and so are you? If you insist on putting yourself on the same level as her, then I really married the wrong person." Ni Hong glared.
Ling Chong suddenly stopped talking. In Aaron's memory, Ling Chong had never taken advantage of his wife. Every time, he was reprimanded by his wife who was a teacher.
Nothing can be said.
"The two of them have been like this since Xiaoxiao went to college. Don't be surprised. I've said it on both sides but it's of no use. I don't know what bad things I did in my previous life to encounter this kind of bad thing." Dismissed.
After seeing Ling Chong, Ni Hong greeted Aaron.
"I'm here to have a meal with my aunt, so there's nothing wrong with me." Aaron quickly said with a smile.
"Hey, Aaron still speaks well, unlike the father and daughter who have a bad temper." The smile on Ni Hong's face always made Aaron feel that his intentions were seen through, "But since you entered the police station, this guy
I rarely bring you home for dinner. Why did you get so angry that you called me all of a sudden today?"
"Well..." Aaron glanced at Ling Chong who was silent in embarrassment, "Actually, the old store where Uncle Ling and I usually go has closed down."
"That dirty restaurant in District 17?" Ni Hong actually knew this place.
"Yes, my aunt has been there too?" Aaron was surprised. In his impression, although the food in that place was delicious, most of the customers were elderly drunkards.
"What haven't you been to? When this guy chased me, it was probably that restaurant where he treated me. He really doesn't know anything about romance." Ni Hong said with a nostalgic smile.
"Uncle Ling, this is your fault." Hearing what Ni Hong said, Aaron almost laughed on the spot, "Even I know I can't take girls there."
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't even have a girlfriend, how can you teach me a lesson?" Ling Chong couldn't help but blush when his wife mentioned the embarrassing incident in front of the younger generation.
"Yes, yes, how am I qualified to teach you a lesson? As long as you two are happy." Of course, Aaron didn't really want to embarrass Ling Chong, he said half-jokingly.
"You brat, you dare to take your aunt for entertainment?" Ling Chong didn't say anything, but Ni Hong laughed and scolded, "Okay, now that we know what's going on, I'll let you go today. I'll drink as much as you want, Lao Ling, today."
I won’t stop you, but you can’t argue with Xiaoxiao after you drink too much, and you can’t force Aaron to drink because his small capacity for drinking can’t resist your drinking?”
"Hey, do you see? It's better to have a wife." Ling Chong said with a proud smile after hearing this.
"Look at how fast that tail is raised?" Ni Hong pointed at her husband, dumbfounded. "I didn't know why I liked him back then, but now that I think about it, I'm just crazy."
"Huh? Auntie, do you smell anything?" The three of them were talking and laughing when suddenly a burning smell entered Aaron's nose.
"Yeah, there's still food on the pot!" Ni Hong slapped her forehead hard and rushed towards the kitchen on the ground.
Today’s recipe, minus one.
After dealing with the failed attempt that almost turned into a kitchen fire, Ni Hong had to concentrate on a few other dishes. Ling Chong dug out a bottle of old liquor in his wine cabinet and said it was made by him and Chen Long back then.
His father, Chen Hu, bought it when he retired. After all these years, Chen Fang didn’t know whether it tasted better or worse. Ling Xiao had to be called several times before he came out of his room. He still didn’t want to talk to Ling Xiao.
It's like looking face to face.
However, Ling Xiao and Aaron had a good relationship. Ling Xiao was often taken out to play by Aaron when she was a child. When she and her father were in a stalemate over college application issues, Aaron often followed her to help guide her, and Aaron was there to help guide her.
Long Cong's attitude is that he supports Ling Xiao in making his own choices. Of course, this does not mean that Aaron supports Ling Xiao becoming a policeman. As an elder brother and friend, he respects Ling Xiao's personal choice, but as a policeman and a responsible adult, Aaron
It is also not recommended that Ling Xiao take the same path as himself and Ling Chong.
In the evening, Aaron drank a lot of wine with Ling Chong. Ling Chong rambled about how the store had been open when he was still studying at the police academy. It was not someone else who took him to that store for the first time.
It was Chen Hu, who was Ling Chong's senior at the time. Later, they joined the army and joined the peacekeeping force. They both thought that the store would be closed when they came back. Unexpectedly, it lasted for so long, even longer than Chen Hu himself.
Still long.
It's a pity, it's a pity, in the end, it still couldn't survive Ling Chong's side, so there was a scene where this drunken middle-aged man took his old friend and talked non-stop.
Fortunately, Ni Hong prepared a light beer with almost no alcohol content for Aaron. Otherwise, Aaron really didn't know how he could survive Ling Chong's nagging for three or four hours. This guy was good at everything else but he drank really well.
It's not that good. After drinking too much, he will drag the people around him to have a one-sided chat without stopping, and he doesn't care about the other person's wishes at all.
After drinking until nearly midnight, Ling Chong fell into a drowsy sleep.
"Oh, it's hard for you to stay with him for such a long time. I can't bear his nagging after drinking." Ni Hong glanced at the messy cups and plates on the table and walked out of her daughter's room with a bitter smile.
"Uncle Ling stood up when I needed someone to be with me. How can I hide now that Uncle Ling wants someone to accompany me?" Aaron shook his groggy head, and his words were also full of drunkenness.
"He is the one your elders should help you with. Let the younger generation coax him. He is not that old yet." Ni Hong pouted at Ling Chong, "Should I send you back?"
"No, this little wine is fine." Aaron said quickly.
"Okay, go back and have a good rest. I heard him say that the case you two are investigating now is related to Brother Chen. You must be too busy these days, right? I'm not a police officer and I don't know what you are doing, but remember
No matter what happens, you are the most important one. Don't tire yourself out, let alone risk your life. If you are gone, nothing will be lost." Ni Hong nodded, and said earnestly.
"Well, I remember everything my aunt said." Aaron lost his mother much earlier than he lost his father. For him who is a bit unfamiliar with maternal love, Ni Hong may be the only one who cares about him in his impression.
Female elders.
"Don't just remember it, let Auntie take care of it." Ni Hong reached out and patted Aaron on the back, "Your boy has been a troublemaker since he was a child, and now that the case involves your father, Auntie is worried."
