author: Wang Tao is a company employee who lives alone in Shanghai. He is an elderly young man who recently met a girlfriend, Liu Lian. Liu Lian is innocent and charming, and he is very popular with Wang Tao.Colleagues can often see the two lingering farewell downstairs in Wang Tao's office building, which is really envious of others. In a blink of an eye, Christmas came. One day, Wang Tao was thinking hard about what gift to give Liu Lian in the office. At this time, he was told that someone was looking for him downstairs, so Wang Tao hurried downstairs.I saw a man over fifty years old standing downstairs, Wang Tao was very puzzled, because he didn't know him at all.

At this time, when the man saw Wang Tao coming down, he hurried over and asked, "Are you Wang Tao?" Wang Tao nodded. "I am Liu Lian's father." The man continued.Wang Tao was taken aback. He didn't think that the person in front of him was his lover's father. When he looked carefully, he was somewhat similar to Liu Lian, so he couldn't help but politely said, "May I ask what you can do for me?" "I heard that you are dating my daughter now, right?" Liu Lian's father asked bluntly.Wang Tao thought it was over, Liu Lian's father must have come to prevent them from dating.

Seeing that Wang Tao was a little nervous, Liu Lian's father burst out laughing, patted Wang Tao's shoulder and said, "Young man, don't be nervous, I'm not here to stop you." Then Liu's father looked around and deliberately lowered his voice: "I'm actually here Leaked information." "Leaking information?" Wang Tao was even more confused. "It seems that you don't know what happened to my daughter before?" "I don't know." Wang Tao shook his head. "Oh!" Father Liu sighed, and continued: "Liu Lian is good at everything, except for one thing, she is too filial to her parents!" Wang Tao was confused: "What's wrong with that?"

"That's where things go wrong!" Liu's father said, "Liu Lian is an older youth now, so I'm not afraid to tell you. Liu Lian had actually been in love before, and her ex-boyfriend had visited the house several times, but Her mother doesn't like her boyfriend very much, saying that he doesn't know how to respect the elderly and is not warm to the elders, so when Liu Lian heard this, she blew it up with him." "Isn't she too childish?" Wang Tao couldn't help saying when he heard Father Liu's words. "This girl is just too stubborn. Another time, because a boy didn't call me dad, Liu Lian got angry and flirted with him. You must call me dad when you see me later." Father Liu instructed, Wang Taoruo Nodding with understanding.

"I'm here this time to tell you this." Father Liu saw that there was no one around to rest assured to continue." Liu Lian will take me to your house at noon today, and let me evaluate how you are, young man, for you and Liu The happiness of love is also because of my heart disease. You have to behave well, and you must not fail! When the time comes, you have to play by ear and try to please me, and this will happen! Okay, so as not to doubt me, hurry up and leave , Hurry up and get ready, I will help you at the critical moment." After speaking, Father Liu turned and left.

Hearing this, Wang Tao was overjoyed, but also a little nervous. He was not only grateful for the valuable information that Father Liu had given him.Since Liu Lian's father was willing to give him such information, it seemed that he had made up his mind about this son-in-law, so Wang Tao asked for leave and went home excitedly. When it was almost noon, Wang Tao received a call from Liu Lian, saying that he wanted to have dinner at his house at noon, and Wang Tao happily agreed.Sure enough, soon Liu Lian and his father came to his door.Wang Tao hurriedly greeted the two of them to enter the room, brought tea and water, the service was extremely thoughtful, and he even called Liu Lian's father from the left to the right, and Liu Lian's face was also full of smiles.At first, the atmosphere was a bit serious, but after a few teasing words from Liu Lian's father, the atmosphere became active, and soon the three of them became like a family.After chatting for a while, Liu Lian's father looked at his watch: "Is it time to cook?"

"Oh, it's time, it's time!" Wang Tao replied hastily. "Let me help you!" Liu Lian's father said and walked towards the kitchen. Liu Lian wanted to go to help but was stopped by his father, "Today, I will let you taste the craftsmanship of our two men!" So, Liu Lian Lian had no choice but to go back to the living room to watch TV. Father Liu and Wang Tao went into the kitchen together. "Good performance!" Father Liu praised Wang Tao as soon as he entered the kitchen. Wang Tao was very happy when he heard it, and began to cook while whistling.Soon, the meal was ready, with all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, and the three of them sat down to eat and chat. Liu's father talked funny, which made the two of them laugh from time to time, and he also strongly urged Wang Tao and Liu Lian to share their love experiences. It made the two feel embarrassed, and the lunch went on for more than an hour amidst the three of them talking and laughing.

After clearing the table after the meal, the three of them started chatting again. Suddenly, Father Liu glanced at the calendar and asked, "Is it Christmas in a few days?" "Yes! Yes!" The day after tomorrow.Wang Tao echoed. "Oh!" Father Liu nodded as if realizing something. "I heard that the foreign festival is celebrated now, and I also want to give a gift to my chess friend Lao Wang." "That's great! It can promote friendship!" Wang Tao said, "But what should I give?" "Haha, I've already thought about it." Father Liu said, "A few days ago, Lao Wang's grandson lost some of his chess pieces, and I want to buy him a new one. Wang Tao, do you know there is a Is there any place that sells chess? It's best made of mahogany!"

This time, Wang Tao was outraged. Usually he didn't like to play chess, and he didn't know where chess was sold, but when he looked up and looked at Father Liu, he saw Father Liu blinking at him.He suddenly understood that Father Liu was creating an opportunity for him to prove to Liu Lian that he cared about his elders.So he said: "Yes, yes! I'll go buy it right away." After speaking, he rushed out of the door. After Wang Tao left, Father Liu pretended to tidy up the house a few times before entering the room and leaving Liu Lian to watch TV in the living room alone.About ten minutes later, Liu's father opened the door and came out, saying, "Liu Lian, I'm going out to find a friend. I might come later. When Wang Tao comes back, I'll tell him that I'm out." Lian Lian nodded and agreed.

Half an hour later, Wang Tao walked in striding in with the chess pieces he had bought so hard, but seeing Liu Lian at home alone, he asked, "Liu Lian, where is our dad?" "Oh, he's out!" Liu Lian replied. "Where did you go? "I went to see his friends and I might come back later." Liu Lian replied. Having nothing to do, so the two of them also went out, holding hands to go to the playground, the two of them had a great time playing, and soon after sunset, the two of them thought of going back, when they got home, they found that Liu's father hadn't come back yet

, Just when the two were wondering, there was a knock on the door outside. "It's Dad." Liu Lian said as she hurried to open the door, but when they opened it, Liu Lian was taken aback, only to see two big caps pulling Father Liu standing outside the door. "Dad, what's the matter?" Liu Lian asked. "Is he really your father?" Big Cap asked. At this time, Wang Tao also heard the sound and rushed over, seeing this scene Can't help asking: "Dad, what's wrong?" "Which one of you father is he?" "He is the father of both of us, what's wrong?" Wang Tao asked. "I asked whose real father?" Big Cap said. "It's her father!" Wang Tao pointed to Liu Lian and said. "What did you say? Isn't he your father?" Liu Lian asked. "But he told me he was your father!" "Why is it my dad? He's obviously your dad!" Liu Lian yelled, her face full of grievances. "My dad? I don't know him at all. He came to me in the morning and told me he was your dad." "But he came to me this morning and said he was your father, and he also said that he recognized my daughter-in-law and asked me to call him father." Hearing this, Wang Tao seemed to understand something. He rushed into the bedroom and found that all the drawers had been opened, and thousands of yuan in cash and a passbook were missing. "You liar!" Wang Tao rushed out and cursed. "Young man, you have to talk about love, but you have to keep your head clear! You can't treat a thief as your father!" With that said, Big Block returned Wang Tao's lost cash and passbook and left.Wang Tao looked at the background of the big cap going away motionless, as if he was thinking about something. author:
