Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhang Fu hurriedly took two steps closer to the threshold.
The threshold was not high, so I walked in with a little lift of my legs. But Zhang Fu didn't. He was afraid that his daughter would be angry, so in the end, he stopped outside the threshold.
The father and daughter were separated by the threshold, about ten paces away, and looked at each other.
No one expected that the reunion between father and daughter would be like this.
For Huo Xi, she blames him, blames him, and even hates him. But he is who he is, and he is still the same person in the past.
As for Zhang Fu, he always thought that his daughter was buried in the ancestral grave, buried beside her mother, and accompanied by her mother. But once he learned that she was still alive, he felt ecstatic, uneasy, guilty, and regretful.
, also hate.
"Nanny..."
Huo Xi did not respond, and did not move, just standing straight in the snow.
The fluttering snow fell on Huo Xi's black hair and also sprinkled on Zhang Fu's shoulders.
"Miss..." Zhang Jin said, "It's cold outside, don't get frozen."
This was the first time that Zhang Jin looked at his eldest lady so seriously. The eldest lady has grown up, and she is like the snow lotus blooming on the cliff. Her eyebrows and eyes are still the same as when she was a child, and she looks like the master.
"Uncle Jin." Huo Xichang nodded to Zhang Jin.
"Hey!" The eldest lady still remembers him, and the eldest lady recognizes him! Zhang Jin turned away excitedly, picked up his sleeves and wiped his eyes repeatedly.
"Nanny..." Zhang Fu moved. His daughter doesn't recognize him as her father? Doesn't she want him as her father?
"It's cold, go back." Huo Xi gave him a cold look and shouted to drive him away.
Seeing Huo Xi turn around, Zhang Fu's heart sank to the bottom of his heart. He stretched out his hand to call her, but he couldn't open his mouth and his eyes darkened.
"Miss!"
Zhang Jin raised his legs and chased after him, but Zhu Feng and Ta Yue stepped out to stop him. Zhang Jin was anxious and moved his hands, but they pushed him together and almost fell to the snow.
Zhang Jin was stunned, and Zhang Fu was also stunned.
How could the Huo family hire such a skilled person?
The door was closed, and the master and servant looked at the closed door in trance.
Sitting on the carriage, Zhang Fu had not yet recovered, "Nanny doesn't want me as her father anymore."
"Master," Zhang Jin saw that he was looking down and tried to comfort him.
"Master, the eldest lady just has a grudge in her heart. I can't even imagine how she and the young master survived in the market for so many years." Zhang Jin paused.
"At the beginning, the Huo family was just an ordinary fisherman's family in the Qinhuai River. There was no shelter from the wind and rain. The whole family lived on the boat. The eldest lady and the young master lived together for many years..."
Zhang Fu's throat was choked, "Tell me more about Nannan and the Huo family..."
"yes."
Yesterday, Zhang Fu was too surprised and did not listen carefully to how his two children had lived over the years. Now, listening to Zhang Jin's detailed explanation, his heart was about to burst.
Two generations of his Zhang family, including Long Xunchen, accompanied the emperor on many expeditions, but his two children could not even eat enough to eat. They lived with a fisherman family all day long on a small boat that could not block the rain or the wind.
…
His daughter went to the pier to carry bags, fish and sell fish...
She was in the capital, but she refused to come to look for him.
Zhang Fu's throat was astringent and bitter, and he could not breathe.
In the room, Yang and Huo Erhuai sat next to Huo Xi on the left and right, each holding her hand.
Yang looked at her worriedly and opened her mouth, "Xi'er, my parents have inquired about him. He is a good man and is loved by the soldiers in the army. He didn't know what happened back then..."
After saying that, he glanced at Huo Erhuai, who nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Xi'er, he is the head of the Zhang family and the head of the clan. You and Nian'er need his support if you want to return to the Zhang family.
.”
Huo Xi turned around and hugged Yang's arm, burying her head in her arm: "Mom and Dad, I know all this, but I get angry when I see him."
Huo Erhuai breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay to be angry. He was afraid that the child's heart was at a loss and she would regard her biological father as dead.
A child who has placed too much hope on him will be disappointed and angry because he cares.
"When mother thinks of your mother, she gets angry and hates her very much. She doesn't want you and Nian'er to go back. But Xi'er, if you are in our house, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a good marriage. There is also Nian'er, he has to go back.
Only by going to that home can you get back what belongs to him, and then you can avenge your mother."
Yang gently smoothed her hair, "Mom, I know you have a problem in your heart, but for the sake of your mother and Nian'er, we shouldn't turn him away."
"Yes, your mother is right." Huo Erhuai agreed, and the couple took turns to persuade him in gentle voices.
In the yard, Huo Nian played with An An for a long time. His sister was missing, and even his parents were missing. He ran over with his brother in hand.
"Father, mother, sister, are you whispering? Nian'er and An An also want to listen." He ran in and squeezed in between his parents and sister.
Huo Erhuai happily held his two sons in his arms and touched their little hands and faces. He felt relieved when he saw that they were all warm.
"Mom and Dad, are you discussing the gifts to bring back to Huojiaba tomorrow? I'll pick them up later." Huo Nian yelled.
"I'll help pick it out too!" An An echoed loudly, not wanting to miss him.
"What are you going to pick?" Yang glared at the two children.
She still hated Fang for telling outsiders nonsense about Xi'er's life experience.
"Don't bring anything back tomorrow!" Looking at Huo Erhuai, "Just go back naked and don't give me any money."
Huo Erhuai's face was stern.
He is also angry with his mother. Fortunately, they don't live together, otherwise his mother will be so angry that she will lose several years of her life. This is simply indistinguishable from the inside out.
Huo Xi sighed. She didn't like that grandmother either, but she was her father's mother, so she and Nian'er couldn't do anything to make his father feel cold.
He smiled at his two younger brothers and said, "You two go pick it up. It's too cold this year and you can't go back. Pick out some more things you need at home and let dad take them back."
"Okay, my brother and I will go pick it up now!"
An An likes to go to the warehouse to pull things out. When she sees something she likes, she sneaks it back to her room to stock up like a little squirrel.
Sliding down to the ground, he did not forget to greet Huo Nian: "Brother, hurry up!"
In a blink of an eye, the two brothers ran away hand in hand.
Mrs. Yang was so angry that she glared at Huo Erhuai: "Why don't you come and take a look! Your little son is a foodie. You don't know that, and you don't know how many things you have to hide in his room."
Last time, she cut a piece of snow satin to shreds and used it to build a doghouse. Yang felt so distressed that she almost pushed her away.
Huo Xi thought about this and smiled and pushed her mother, "Mom, go and watch."
Yang stood up immediately after hearing this: "Okay, mother, go and keep an eye on it, so that your father won't give up all the good things to those white-eyed wolves."
Huo Erhuai looked stern: "I don't distinguish between inside and outside."
"You just don't know what is good and what is good!" the couple said to each other and started to walk out. After taking two steps, they both looked back at her.
Huo Xi waved to them: "I'm fine, parents go."
The couple just left.
The Duke of Zhang and Zhang Jin and his son went out for a day, but without the help of the groom, the news that Zhang Liang hurried out early in the morning carrying a baggage was also reported to Mrs. Wang's ears.
