1287. Chapter 1287: 1287 Father and son under the melon shed
The moment he saw Zilu, the watermelon in his hand fell down and shattered on the ground...
"Zi, Zilu..." The prince's voice trembled, and the tears suddenly came from nowhere. He quickly avoided Zilu's eyes and quietly wiped away his own tears with the corner of his clothes. Old tears were everywhere.
, precisely because I saw my son.
"Dad..." Zilu finally spoke.
"Hey, here, here, Heron, you have become darker, thinner, and more powerful... Where have you been in the past few years? Do you no longer want your father?" The prince is still approachable, and there is no trace of the past.
It’s the majestic prince!
Now he is just an ordinary melon farmer! He is an ordinary father! That's all.
"Let's eat watermelon together." Zilu picked up the watermelon that fell on the ground.
"Okay, okay, let's eat watermelon together." The father and son supported each other and sat on the chairs in the melon field. This chair was ordered by the prince himself. Although it was crooked and not good-looking, it was made by himself after all.
It's a symbol of life, no matter how precious it is, I can't bear to change it.
The two of them sat down.
"This watermelon is so sweet." Zi Lu ate it with big mouthfuls, and his heart was filled with bitterness. Did he come back too late? He liked this feeling very much, father and son under the melon shed.
The two chatted about home life, ate watermelon, drank a big bowl of tea, watched the sunset, faced the breeze, and listened to the laughter of the neighbors...
"Lao Gua, Lao Gua, do you have a relative coming to your house?" the neighbors asked.
They didn't know that he was the prince who retired to the countryside today.
"Hey, it's not a relative, it's my son. It's my son who came to see me!" The prince was so happy that he quickly introduced his precious son to everyone, as if this was his life.
This kind of sincerity is much better than Zilu's feeling of being introduced by the prince in court...
"I'm treating you today. Everyone is here to eat watermelon. Everyone is here to eat!" The prince was so happy that his nose burst into tears and he didn't know what to say.
Zilu found that he was really old. People, even those in high positions of power, could not withstand the passage of time.
Don't wait until the time when your son wants to support you but refuses to be kissed. Maybe it's time to show your filial piety as a son.
"Lao Gua, did you choose the name yourself?" Zilu didn't want to be so sentimental. Both grown men have been through bloody battlefields. Why cry? It's better to be cheerful. Good days are ahead!
"Hey, no, I'm here, and they called me Laogua. I wasn't used to it at first, but now I'm used to it. Now I'm used to and like the name Laogua, and it's continued like this.
"The prince smiled honestly.
"I think it sounds pretty good too..." Zilu said.
"Oh, Lao Gua, your son is really good. Does he have a partner?" The neighbors gathered around.
Lao Gua didn't know whether he had a wife or not, so he looked at his son.
"I have a wife, aunt. I'm afraid I won't be lucky enough to marry your daughter. I believe she will be a better husband." Zilu said with a smile.
"Look, look, this child is smart, polite, and good at talking. Lao Gua, you have a good life. If my son is half as good as him, I will thank heaven and earth and burn high incense." The neighbor said.
"That's right, that's right, this eldest son is really good. Who will be your successor?"
"The child is so strong. He must be a good farmer and able to endure hardships and stand hard work."
