Xu Xin didn't have the idea of ​​"his father should leave him alone and let his brother inherit the family property".

Not to the point.

It's just that he is confused...Although his father sent him out to study before, in the final analysis, he still wants to return to Shenmu.

But now this...

But seeing the old Chinese speaking seriously, he looked at him and said:

"Our coal mine will be mined sooner or later."

"..."

Xu Xin didn't know what to say.

I just put down my chopsticks and waited quietly for my father's next words.

"Sooner or later. Dad used to want Ni to come back, but he seemed worried because he was afraid that Ni would be a bad student. But now I'm not afraid. This is the first time that Ni has grown up and likes something so much...actually, he looks like your mother.

"

"..."

Xu Xin's heart trembled.

At a glance, I saw my father's eyes that were gradually turning red.

Then……

Just a sigh.

"well."

After flicking the ashes from his cigarette, the middle-aged man shook his head:

"Your mother can draw, and her dream is to become an artist. You are like her, especially... Huh."

Another glass of wine was downed.

In fact, Xu Xin rarely hears his father talk about his mother. Because every time he asked his mother something when he was a child, his father would always lose his temper and either get beaten or would not allow him to ask with a cold face. Therefore, he has many things

I heard it all from Xu Miao.

But Xu Xin never doubted his father's love for his mother.

Since he was a child, he had seen his father cry more than once while holding a photo of his mother during some festivals.

So, today, when he heard that his father took the initiative to mention his mother, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

And Xu Daqiang...

After drinking this glass of wine, I didn't seem to want to talk anymore.

So he shook his head:

"Speaking of which, dad actually feels that the one he owes the most is Sanshui."

"..."

Xu Xin didn’t ask about her mother’s affairs, but just asked:

"Why?"

"Because Dad is looking for someone to take over~ Do you know what Sanshui's dream is?"

"Know……"

Xu Xin nodded:

"Get on the railway and be a train driver... When I was a kid, I heard my brother say more than once that he wanted to be a train driver. When Shenmu built the railway, he would be the first to drive a train back."

"yes……"

Xu Daqiang seemed to want to laugh, but couldn't. Finally, he just put out the cigarette:

"But family business cannot be separated from people. How old were you at that time? He can only do it."

"Brother is doing very well now..."

"Of course, it's great!"

Xu Daqiang nodded without his son needing to explain:

"I just... feel I owe you a brother. But who asked him to be my brother?"

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless.

Because he knew that it was his eldest brother's sacrifice that made his father say the words not to let him go back, but to pursue art outside.

At this time, he heard a sentence:

"Sanjin, dad is not very capable... That's why Sanshui had to come back to help dad. Dad felt uncomfortable, feeling that he had destroyed Sanshui's dream with his own hands... a dream that money can't buy. So... dad can't destroy it anymore.

You Meng...work hard here and be an artist. Your mother will be happy down there if she knows, you know?"

"...Well, I got it, Dad."

Nothing serious.

Xu Xin just picked up the bowl again, nodded, and agreed in the calmest tone.

Start grilling the rice.

Seeing him wolfing down the food, Xu Daqiang also picked up the bowl and said:

"Ah, eat quickly, eat slowly... Do you like to eat the fish with noodles made by dad?"

"Um!"

Xu Xin nodded:

"Dad makes the best noodles, just like when I was a kid."

"……hey-hey."

His son's words made the smile on Xu Daqiang's face bloom like a flower.

"Then eat more and eat slowly. If it's not enough, daddy will give it to you~"

"Um."

Following his agreement, Xu Daqiang also picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of scrambled eggs, and took another sip of wine from the wine glass.

…

The meal between father and son ended simply.

After it was over, Xu Xin did not go to the gym. Instead, he boiled water, made tea, and continued chatting with his father.

Stay with Xu Daqiang well.

The father and son chatted in various ways. In the rush of talking, they suddenly talked about something Xu Daqiang came to Yanjing to do this time.

"Do you still remember that guy who was arrested in Hongjiannao? Dad's brother-in-law?"

"Well……"

Xu Xin thought for a while and nodded:

"Many years."

Dad had a few brothers who were popular in the world at that time.

There was no way, at that time we needed this kind of brother to be able to hang out on the road and ensure that others would not cause trouble.

As for the person my father was talking about, I have forgotten his name. Xu Xin only remembers his surname Chang.

Because of murder, he was taken to prison and sentenced to life.

But Xu Xin really didn't know what was going on.

After all... that era, from today's perspective, was really a bit chaotic.

It is true that unruly people come out of remote areas.

Don't talk about mines or not.

Northern Shaanxi is short of water, and sometimes conflicts arise between two families fighting for a well to water crops, which can eventually turn into a fight between two villages or even two local surnames.

To be more exaggerated, Xu Xin saw with his own eyes two human traffickers who came here to abduct women and were caught by people from other villages. They had their hands chopped off and were taken away by the police while holding the plastic bags containing their hands between their teeth.

The bloody scene gave him nightmares for several days.

Therefore, Xu Xin asked:

"What?"

"Dad came here to visit him once."

"...He is imprisoned in Yanjing?"

"Well, your uncle Liu's nephew, brother-in-law, and brother-in-law are the guards here, so they can provide some care inside."

"Oh~"

Xu Xin nodded, and then asked curiously:

"Why?"

Hearing this, Xu Daqiang sneered disdainfully:

"Crazy with money."

"Have you offended someone?"

"It's not like driving down a mine and hitting a sheepherder to death. You said you hit someone, so you should call the police. When someone comes, they want money and they want to give you money. Wouldn't it be nice to just pay compensation? He

No, he and his brother-in-law rolled up the child, dragged it up the mountain, and buried it... On the third day after the accident, the mountain needed to be cleared, and two forklifts dug it out with several shovels.

Someone died, and they came over and did some economic investigation. Finally, they found the car and arrested his brother-in-law. His brother-in-law confessed him directly. He was charged with hit-and-run and was sentenced to life. He was just too much.

Crazy, it rains when the weather is crazy, and when people are crazy, there will be misfortune. Originally, the people nearby were trying to get rid of him because of the mining, but after this incident, the people in the village worked together to kill him indefinitely...

Two days ago, dad went to see him... This guy is finished. Alas..."

"..."

Xu Xin fell into silence at some point and frowned.

Killing people...hit and run...children...mining accident...

It was originally a small talk, but when his son didn't answer, Xu Daqiang turned to look at him...

When he saw his son frowning, he asked in confusion:

"What's wrong?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Xin suddenly stood up after asking the question:

"Dad, go to bed early. I've got an inspiration... I need to make a story!"

After saying that, he left the glass room and went straight to the study.

"Well……"

Through the window, I looked at my son who was sitting in front of the computer, lighting up a cigarette, and then suddenly started typing on the computer.

Xu Daqiang was stunned for a moment, but immediately showed a smile of great relief.

I put out my cigarette, drank all my tea, walked to the greenhouse door and turned off the light.

Then, with quiet steps, he walked back to his bedroom.

The baby is creating art.
