Chapter 97 The Starting Point 1
Tan Ke hid for a week, and finally it was time to hide.
What the doctor meant was that Tan Qisheng's various indicators have been maintained during this period of time, whether it's chemotherapy or anything else, it's time to start.
Tan Ke talked with the doctor and went straight to Tan Qisheng's ward.
As soon as he opened the door, there were six or seven people sitting in the ward, all looking up at him.He glanced over with big eyes, and there were a few faces he was quite familiar with. They were Tan Qisheng's old colleagues and Xie Li.
Xie Li sat among the group of people, feeling as guilty as a scumbag who was caught cheating on the bed by his lover. He and Tan Ke looked at each other, not knowing what to explain for a while.
But before it was his turn to open his mouth, Tan Ke was surrounded by a group of uncles.Some of these people were urinated by Tan Ke when he was a child, some had given him money during the hundred days, and some had given him red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.
Tan Ke was forced to start business immediately. Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhang, and Uncle Li called over one by one, and was held by the hand and asked if he was busy with work, got married, and found a partner.
Any domineering CEO has to kneel in front of his parents and colleagues.
In the end, Tan Ke finally found an opportunity amidst the pleasantries and nostalgia, and asked, "Why is Xie Li here?"
Tan Qisheng was in the hospital for an examination two days ago, and when he ran into an old colleague, news of his illness spread.Today, this group of people made an appointment to see him together, but they ended up sitting together and chatting, and the conversation came to Xie Li's head.
One of the people in this group was a ray researcher who was also at the Observatory in Kaner City back then, and he was very close to Tan Qisheng.When his students came back from a meeting in Rio, they were full of praise for Xie Li, and gave Amway everywhere with a preprint of Xie Li's thesis.
As soon as Tan Qisheng heard this, he simply called Xie Li over to chat with these senior teachers and professors and get to know them.
Of course, he also has a little bit of showing off in it.For a long time, seeing the children of his old colleagues take over the baton from their parents one after another, doing the unfinished business of their elders, he felt envious in his heart.
Tan Qisheng's colleagues left after lunch time.
The nanny came back and asked Tan Qisheng what he had for lunch.
Tan Ke sent Xie Li away with a cold face: "You go to the cafeteria with auntie to eat."
Xie Li felt that Tan Ke looked as if he wanted to quarrel with Tan Qisheng, and he didn't eat well, so he took a few bites in a hurry and ran to the ward.
When I arrived at the door of the ward and listened through the crack of the door, it was really arguing. I could only hear Tan Ke's unilateral output, and I was arguing about why Tan Qisheng called Xie Li to meet people without Tan Ke's consent. one period.
It took Tan Qisheng a long time to speak, and this time he didn't yell loudly, his voice sounded weak through the door panel: "Is it in your heart that no matter what I do as a father, it is to harm you?"
He closed his eyes, leaned against the head of the hospital bed, and explained flatly: "You are not in this circle, and you don't know many things. You must do well in academics and manage contacts. Since Old Wu appreciates him, What's wrong with asking him to come and have a look? What are you doing to make such a fuss? Am I doing this to you?"
Tan Ke was standing two or three steps away from the hospital bed. After hearing this explanation, he didn't react, and was indifferent: "The last time Xie Li was called, how did Dad handle him? He still thought you liked him a little bit, but in the end Woolen cloth?"
Speaking of this matter, Tan Qisheng is ashamed.Therefore, he always wanted to find an opportunity to express his apology and compensation.
He left Tan Ke's house that day and returned to his own home.
After his wife passed away, only he and his nanny were left in the family.
He has been working outside for many years, and his two children are strangers to him.Every time I came home, I took a quick look at it, and I couldn't sit still, let alone stay overnight.
Before, Tan Qisheng was also a little bit resentful, thinking why the child had grown up so big that he didn't get close to him, until Xie Li's words woke him up that day.
Whenever he came back from vacation, he would always have a fight when he saw the two children.Needless to say, Tan Ke, he always has something that doesn't please his eyes.Tan Xin's grades in science were not good, and she was forced to take science at that time, and she was in the bottom of the top class. She lived in the fear of being eliminated by the top class rolling system for three years in high school.Every time the results and rankings are released, they always look like mourning.
He had the impression that Tan Xin didn't say much when he met him in the past few years, but she became more lively after she went to college, and she wasn't afraid of him much anymore.
Tan Qisheng tossed and turned all night thinking about it, unable to sleep, and kept his eyes open until dawn.
Nor does he mean to ignore the family on purpose, nor does he mean to be harsh on his children specifically.Everyone lived like this at that time, why did he end up like this.
He understood what that child Xie Li said that day.It means that since he is a father, he should take a step back and at least apologize for the negligence of his two children in the past so many years.
Now that Tan Ke mentioned Xie Li's matter, he also felt that it was time to talk about it.
But this mouth just couldn't open for a long time, the words "Dad is at fault" were firmly nailed to the tip of his tongue, and he couldn't say it.
Seeing that Tan Qisheng didn't speak, Tan Ke decided that he had no regrets. He was already furious, but now he became even more angry.
He sneered and sneered at Tan Qisheng: "Yes, no father would harm his son, so is it you or not my father or am I not your son? But if there is anything I don't like, you will take it What I value is to judge me. In the past, it was a meal, a book, and later it was my mother and Xie Li. You said you would not harm me, but which thing is for my happiness and which thing is for yourself Happy, are you really not sure?"
Speaking of his dead wife, Tan Qisheng also wanted to resolve the conflict, so he said what he had been thinking these days: "I have no objection if you are willing to offer your mother's ashes now, you just keep it well. Where to go, we’ll talk about it later, let’s discuss it, okay?”
He is old and tired, and he doesn't want to continue to conflict with Tan Ke over this matter, just like Xie Li said, give in first, and then talk slowly later.
Tan Ke's expression suddenly changed following these words.
He squinted his eyes and stared at Tan Qisheng almost scrutinizingly. He unconsciously leaned forward slightly, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, as if he wanted to say something but held it back.
Tan Qisheng felt something was wrong: "Do you think this is okay?"
Tan Ke stared at him, like an eagle trying to pull out a rabbit hiding in a burrow, or like a bird desperately trying to carve through a tree.
Tan Ke slowly opened his mouth: "When my mother had an accident, you didn't contact me because of my dropping out of school and changing careers. You didn't tell me about it until my sister-in-law called me back. Have you forgotten?"
Tan Ke's tone made Tan Qisheng cold for no reason, but what made him even colder was what Tan Ke said.He sat up in shock: "What are you talking about?"
He even felt a little joy in his anger.
The matter finally came out.
There were a few times in the past when he almost wanted to ask for clarification, but in the end he forcibly endured it.
Tan Qisheng couldn't believe his ears, pushed away the thin blanket on his lap, stood up with the edge of the bed, and walked in front of Tan Ke.
"You think so? I didn't tell you earlier, do you think it's because of this?"
When people get old, even their height will shrink accordingly.Now standing in front of Tan Ke, he is just a flat little old man. His son is half a head taller than him, which makes it difficult for him to regain his father's authority in the past.
Tan Ke's hands behind his back were tightly twisted together, his head was lowered, his eyes were not avoiding, and he looked back at Tan Qisheng: "Isn't this how you always punish my 'disobedience'?"
Tan Qisheng was speechless.
Tan Ke was right.When he was young, Tan Qisheng used to use this method to punish Tan Ke, because he was far away, and he couldn't educate him in front of him, so he could only use this method to control him.
But then again, it's just a matter of rewards and punishments.All parents are like this, is there anything wrong?If I had to say it was wrong, at most he was a little stricter than others.
But he never imagined that this kind of education method, the way of getting along with each other, and all kinds of encounters that happened in the future would finally make Tan Ke have such a heart-wrenching idea!
Xie Li and Tan Xin stood at the door together.Hearing this, he finally turned his head to look at Tan Xin.
Tan Xin didn't want to go in when she heard the quarrel inside.
Xie Li couldn't hold back, and asked, "Your father, no, Uncle Tan, he really did that at that time."
Tan Xin shook her head: "I don't know what my dad thinks. But I'm sorry for my brother, I was so stupid at that time, I didn't think of telling my brother. It was my sister-in-law who called him back. I'm so useless." She lowered her head, "At that time, I went in and took a look, and my whole body was numb. I couldn't think of anything for several days, and I was like a ghost every day. Later, my father I found someone to do the repairs, so I could barely open the body to say goodbye. But my dad didn't catch up, he had a big project in his hand, and no one dared to take responsibility if he didn't go back. The machine was burning millions a day. "
Xie Li didn't know what to say, he fumbled left and right in his pocket, took out a pack of napkins and handed it over.
Tan Xin said thank you in a low voice, took out a piece of paper to wipe away tears, and said: "Sometimes I also blame my brother, my mother is gone, and my father is like this again, why can't he get along well with my father. It is not easy for everyone, always mentioning Are those things interesting in the past?"
In the ward, father and son confront each other.
But it didn't last long, Tan Qisheng felt that he was about to lose his standing.
He took a step back, reached out his hand to support the railing of the hospital bed behind him, and grabbed it hard, but what he caught was the mobile bottle rack that was moved behind the bed by the nurse.
The slender bottle rack couldn't stand the weight of an adult, so it fell backwards along with Tan Qisheng, and hit the hospital bed with a bang.
Xie Li and Tan Xin only heard the sound of iron objects colliding outside the door, the movement was not small.
Xie Li was afraid that he would not talk about Qisheng and would throw things at Tan Ke because of his temper, so he didn't bother to knock on the door right now, so he pushed it away and went in.
As a result, in the ward, Tan Qisheng sat on the bed by himself, with a bottle hanger upside down on the floor, and Tan Ke stood in front of the bed, as if he had taken root there for many years.
Tan Qisheng looked back at the two people who came in, endured his dizziness, pointed at Tan Xin and gave orders, and said: "It just so happens that you are here, go and call your sister-in-law and ask her to come."
Tan Xin didn't know what happened during the 2 minutes when she was wiping her tears, so she could only bite the bullet and go over to persuade her: "Dad, if you have anything to say, just say so, don't bother my sister-in-law."
Tan Qisheng's attitude was firm: "You go and call her. In front of your family, explain this matter to your brother today!"
When Professor Fang came over, the nanny hid outside, and none of the four people in the ward spoke, and it was quiet.
Seeing her coming, Xie Li said in a low voice that Teacher Fang is good and planned to leave to make room for them.
Tan Qisheng said: "Xie Li, you come back, you should also listen here."
