"The meal is ready, and I heard that you are coming back, so I made a few dishes that you like to eat." Tan Jingkang wiped his hands and went into the house first.

There is a small round table in the room, on which are placed several plates of steaming dishes, including the flavorful fish and steamed shrimp that Tan Renhao has loved to eat since he was a child.

"Your kitchen here is too far away, and it's very inconvenient, otherwise I'll cook a few more dishes, try them first and see how it tastes." Tan Jingkang brought two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and brought the chair to Tan Renhao.

"Dad, when did you come?" Tan Renhao was so confused that he didn't know how to say anything to his father, who hadn't communicated for more than three years.

"A few days ago, I heard that you were promoted by leapfrogging, your mother asked me to bring some souvenirs to see you, by the way to greet your colleagues, lest others say that we are rude, this time, I brought a lot of souvenirs over, I brought you to see, choose a few to send to your chief, although they are a little ordinary, but you can also express your heart!" Tan Jingkang said that he was going to take out the local products that were piled up in the burlap pockets in the corner.

"Dad, let it go, I'll arrange it." Tan Renhao sighed, "How's mom's old problem?" ”

Tan Jingkang smiled awkwardly, and then sat back. "It's much better, I found an old Chinese medicine doctor last year and prescribed a home remedies, and I haven't done it again this year."

Tan Renhao nodded, his mother had severe gout due to overwork when she was young, and she had been tormented by this disease for decades.

"Your mother asked me to tell you, don't worry about her illness, you work hard in the army, in fact, it's ......"

"Dad, how is Xiao Lian now, are you in love?" Tan Renhao interrupted his father's words.

"She's still young, and a few matchmakers came to the door last year, but I told your mother that Xiaolian's affairs, let her make her own decisions, and we won't interfere."

Tan Renhao glanced at his father in surprise, obviously, his father has also changed, if it was more than three years ago, his father would definitely make the decision for his sister's marriage.

"Hey!" Tan Jingkang sighed, "Actually, I have figured it out in the past few years, let the child make his own decisions." ...... at the beginning"

"Dad, the food is getting cold." Tan Renhao picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of his father's favorite hairtail, put it in his father's bowl, and then sandwiched a shrimp for himself. "Well, yes, it's still the same taste as before, it seems that your craftsmanship hasn't regressed in the past few years!"

Tan Jingkang laughed, he didn't rush to move his chopsticks, and stared at his son intently.

"Dad, why don't you eat?" Tan Renhao felt a little embarrassed, when he was a child, whenever he went to improve the food at home, his parents would always let him and his sister eat first, and then eat. "Eat it quickly, otherwise it won't taste good if it's cold."

"Good, good!" Tan Jingkang picked up the bowl, still like to carry a large porcelain bowl to the door to eat and chat with a few neighbors as before, but now there are no neighbors around, and the big porcelain bowl has become a small porcelain bowl. "If you like to eat, eat more, eat more."

Tan Renhao stuffed the food into the innermost part of the food hard, and suddenly, two lines of tears rolled down his face and fell into the bowl. He didn't want to cry, when he was a child, he wouldn't cry no matter how his father beat him, but now the tears can't help but roll down. Tan Renhao bit the salt tightly and endured no bitterness, but the familiar taste he felt in his mouth made tears fall like beads with broken threads.

Tan Jingkang turned his head away, and he was quietly wiping his tears. The father and son fought a cold war for more than three years, and it ended in this instant.

Although Tan Jingkang also complained about his son, he felt that his son ran away from home and lost the face of the Tan family, making him unable to raise his head in front of liberating his neighbors and making friends in front of the world. Tan Renhao also once complained about his father, feeling that his father was too arbitrary and arrogant, and he wanted to bury his son's future for the sake of a joke at the beginning. However, at this moment, both father and son silently forgave each other, and the kind of affection between father and son can never be touched, and it will never disappear. There is always a moment when the ice melts, and what will come will be the warmth between loved ones.

"Dad!" Tan Renhao put down his chopsticks and quickly wiped away the tears on his face, "Actually, I was too willful at the beginning, in fact, I have always wanted to contact you, in fact, ......"

"Child, needless to say, Dad can understand, Dad is also at fault!" Tan Jingkang patted his son's shoulder with a smile, "Eat, let's eat, I bought the shrimp in the market outside, and it took me a day to cook it, eat it quickly, don't waste it." ”

This meal was the most delicious meal Tan Renhao had ever eaten in more than three years, it was not how delicious the meal was, what made him feel comfortable was that the knot that had existed in his heart for three years had been untied.

After the meal, Tan Renhao took the initiative to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and then the two fathers and sons moved the chairs outside the door and watched the sunset that was about to go to the sea. Tan Jingkang still smokes the kind of cigarettes that are produced in a steady manner, while Tan Renhao smokes the high-grade cigarettes that the Navy provides to officers.

The two chatted about family affairs, and the atmosphere was no longer so awkward. Tan Renhao's younger sister Tan Qinglian has been at home to help her father take care of the business since graduating from the girls' school, and she is now basically able to handle business matters alone, so she doesn't need her father to worry too much. This is something that Tan Renhao did not expect. When I was a child, my sister was often bullied by wild children outside, and every time she would come back to her brother to complain. For a long time, in Tan Renhao's impression, my sister is a very delicate girl. However, in the past three years, Tan Qinglian has undergone tremendous changes, without the protection of her brother, she has not only learned to be independent, but also shouldered the burden of the family.

However, what worries Tan Renhao is his mother's body. When she was young, her mother endured a lot of hardships, especially after combining with her father, in order to manage the family business and take care of the two children, her mother was busy almost day and night, and she fell ill. Although when talking about Renhao's sensibility, the family situation has changed a lot, and the family has also hired a maid, but the mother still does it herself. For more than three years, she has been worrying about her son and thinking about him, which has made her physical condition worse.

Chatting and chatting, Tan Renhao saw a person walking towards them. He was slightly startled in his heart, and after taking a closer look, he found that it was Liao Yingyu. Tan Jingkang also saw Liao Yingyu who came over. As soon as he saw his father's expression, Tan Renhao had a little headache.
