Shen Qiang was instantly embarrassed because this was just the style of Shen Qiang's dad. He never spoke like other dads, always mm-hmm and uh-uh, this won't do, that isn't good. He wouldn't say anything, even though in the village, he was known as Honest Shen, who believed that suffering losses was a blessing. Although he didn't reach the point of turning the other cheek, he never argued with anyone and would play dumb when he could, creating conditions to play dumb when he couldn't.
But he was never fake in front of Shen Qiang. From the time Shen Qiang could remember, his dad told him, "You will meet countless hypocritical people in your lifetime, so I will be your genuine dad."
Since then, outside he played dumb, grinning and telling Shen Qiang's mom that suffering losses was a blessing, but occasionally he would speak his heart out in front of Shen Qiang.
Things that couldn't be discussed with anyone else.
The most memorable time was when Shen Qiang was in middle school.
