"Well, okay, Mom, I will definitely go back. But Tianning may not be able to come back." Xu Rongrong didn't expect that his father had already pickled his favorite pickles last year, but he didn't go back for two years.
…
"Tianning can't come back, why?" When she heard that her grandson, whom she missed the most, couldn't come back, Ms. He's eyes widened. "I don't care, just bring my grandson back to me."
Xu Rongrong explained with a wry smile, "Mom, Tianning is studying economic management abroad. Time is tight and we can't fly back. I'll take him to see you after he finishes studying, okay?"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Rongrong was rudely interrupted by Ms. He, "No, if my grandson doesn't come back, you don't want to come back either."
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a bang. Xu Rongrong looked at the phone in his hand with a dumbfounded look, and fell helplessly on the bed.
"What will Mom do if she sees Tianning? She also said that she won't let me go back without Tianning." Xu Rongrong smiled helplessly. Wasn't he still thinking about himself just now? Why did he suddenly change to "Tianning doesn't?"
If you go back, don’t go back either”?
Zhan Yiyang followed suit and sat next to Xu Rongrong, then leaned up, put his arms through Xu Rongrong's body, put his arms around Xu Rongrong's shoulders, and finally pulled Xu Rongrong half-lying into his arms.
"I think mom said this just to cover up the embarrassment of crying." Zhan Yiyang said calmly.
Although I have not been with my mother-in-law for a short time, I still have some understanding of her character Zhan Yiyang.
"Well, it should be, she should be regretting saying those words now." Xu Rongrong raised the corners of his mouth, then smiled, and his mouth was filled with bitterness.
In fact, the Xu family is exactly what Xu Rongrong expected.
Ms. He just hung up the phone, and she was a little confused. She looked back at Father Xu who was standing aside blankly, and asked with some lack of confidence, "Old man, I, what did I just say."
Father Xu stared at Mother He. If he and his mother hadn't given in over the years, he would have almost quarreled with Mother He. So after Xu Rongrong asked that question, he felt annoyed.
Said, "You just said that if the daughter does not bring her grandson, she will not be allowed to come back."
"Wha, what... I actually said such a thing." Mother He sat down on the sofa in shock. She held her face in disbelief, "Oops, why did I say such a thing? If the grandson
If we really don’t have time, then my daughter won’t come back either? Oh, my daughter, my daughter.”
Mother He covered her face with her hands and started crying.
Now she hated herself from the bottom of her heart for saying that just now. What would she do if her daughter really didn't come back?
Father Xu sighed. Even if he was angry with Ms. He for what she just said, it was not okay to watch his wife cry. So he comforted Mother He and said, "Stop crying. My daughter doesn't know your temper yet. She
I won’t take it seriously.”
"Really?" Mother He raised her head with tears in her eyes, "So, Rongrong will definitely come back, right?"
"Yeah." Although Father Xu was unsure, he could only nod his head in order to comfort this fragile woman.
"That's good, that's good." After receiving a positive answer, He's mother smiled happily.
However, Xu Rongrong didn't know all of this. She was currently considering whether to go back to City A before the Spring Festival.
"If we go back to City A for two days, will it have any impact here?" Even though he missed his parents, Xu Rongrong still asked Zhan Yiyang carefully whether returning home would delay Rongyang.
After all, Rong Yang has reached a very dangerous and critical period. She has no way to help Rong Yang, but she will never put any burden on Rong Yang.
"It's okay, you can go back and see them." Zhan Yiyang smiled faintly. He has never had a home since his mother left. He is not close to Commander Zhan and Liang Shuxian, so he does not have Xu Rongrong.
He loves his home so much, but he understands how much Xu Rongrong misses his parents, so he is very happy to go back to City A to visit his parents before the Chinese New Year.
"Won't it have any impact on the company?" Xu Rongrong asked in disbelief.
"No, we just need to keep the itinerary secret and don't leave in a ostentatious manner." Zhan Yiyang smiled and touched Xu Rongrong's forehead, then stood up slightly and planted a kiss on it.
"In a few days, we will go back to City A to visit our parents." He said softly.
Xu Rongrong nodded excitedly, "Yeah, okay."
The two hugged each other happily for half an hour, but Zhan Yiyang remembered the people downstairs and pulled Xu Rongrong up.
"Let's go back to the living room. Everyone is in the living room. It's not good for us to be away for too long." Zhan Yiyang said calmly.
Xu Rongrong was in a good mood because he would be able to see his parents in a few days. He smiled and went downstairs with Zhan Yiyang to the living room.
This time, their movements were discovered by Uncle Ming and Sister-in-law Ming.
"Madam, Sir, when did you leave?" Mrs. Ming looked at Xu Rongrong in surprise, wondering why the Madam and Mr. who had just been sitting together looked like they were "back".
"Let's make a call, Sister-in-law Ming." After the phone call, Xu Rongrong was obviously in a much better mood, and even spoke much more briskly.
"Are you calling home?" Sister-in-law Ming asked cheerfully.
"Yes." Xu Rongrong nodded with a smile.
Sister-in-law Ming smiled, but when she smiled, she sighed, "Oh, it's so nice to be able to call home. I've been away from my hometown for twenty years and there's no one to call."
"Twenty years..." Xu Rongrong pursed her lips. This must be Ming's sister-in-law's sadness. She didn't know what to say, so she simply fell silent.
On the other hand, Wen Shanshan, when she heard what Sister Ming said, said with interest, "At Sister Ming's age, her parents should be gone."
Sister-in-law Ming nodded sadly, "He was gone twenty years ago."
"Twenty years ago..." Xu Rongrong looked at Sister-in-law Ming in surprise, "Twenty years ago, Sister-in-law Ming, you were about the same age as me, and my parents were only in their fifties. How could they be gone?"
Sister-in-law Ming smiled, "Because I was sick, no one was willing to lend money to my family for medical treatment. Even though I spent all my savings, my parents still went."
One sentence, seemingly simple but full of sadness, made Xu Rongrong open his mouth in surprise and his nose felt a little sour.
"So Sister-in-law Ming and Uncle Ming are going to work?" Xu Rongrong asked somewhat depressedly.
"Yes, haha, madam, don't say this, it's been decades, there is no need to be sentimental." Sister-in-law Ming smiled, but her eyes were red, and her big fat face was full of sadness and brightness.
The sorrow of union.
Xu Rongrong looked at Sister-in-law Ming sympathetically. She had never thought that Sister-in-law Ming, who had always been carefree and spoke with a voice comparable to her mother, would actually have such a sad past.
At this time, Wen Shanshan next to her suddenly smiled, the corners of her beautiful mouth slightly raised, with a hint of cold irony, "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. I think Mrs. Ming is quite happy. At least the family is on a blind date."
Love each other, how is it like me? I have been an abandoned child from the beginning."
"Abandoned child." Xu Rongrong was shocked. She looked at Wen Shanshan in disbelief, "Shanshan, what on earth happened?"
Could it be that Shanshan meant A-Nuan? But that was wrong. Her cold and sarcastic look probably didn't mean A-Nuan.
"Haha, Rongrong, do you know why I was trained by others to be a sharp blade?" Wen Shanshan turned her head and looked at Xu Rongrong with a smile.
Xu Rongrong shook his head in confusion. Although Wen Shanshan's words were vague, she could tell that Wen Shanshan was talking about being trained as a killer. It was just to take care of Uncle Ming and Sister-in-law Ming, so she did not explain it and only used a sharp knife instead.
Got those two words.
"Because I was abandoned. I was an abandoned child. I wandered many places. Finally, I was picked up by that person and trained into a sharp blade. In fact, from one aspect, he destroyed me, but from another aspect, he destroyed me.
, it was he who gave me a new life and a good life, although it cost a lot to exchange for it."
Wen Shanshan calmly recounted the past. This was a past she had never mentioned before, but it actually contained so many hardships.
Xu Rongrong pursed her lips and looked at Wen Shanshan. There was a touch of sadness and sarcasm in her enchanting eyes, but also a bit cold.
Maybe deep down in her heart, Wen Shanshan was resentful, resentful that her parents abandoned her, so she embarked on a road of no return, but after all, her parents gave her life, so she couldn't resent them.
Such contradictory and complex emotions, a look of gratitude and resentment coexisting.
"Shanshan, you, don't be sad, you still have me." Looking at Wen Shanshan's complicated eyes, Xu Rongrong stammered.
She wanted to comfort Wen Shanshan, but she didn't know how to say it. She was afraid of accidentally revealing her sadness, so she could only speak stammering like this.
When Wen Shanshan heard Xu Rongrong's words, not only did she not feel unhappy, but she burst into laughter.
She turned her head to look at Xu Rongrong, who looked troubled, and then said with a chuckle, "Rongrong, it's impossible not to be sad. Sometimes I also hope to have a family and parents, but since God has given me such a life,
Some sufferings are always unavoidable, and since I can't avoid them, I can only bear them as enjoyment. Moreover, I am very satisfied with it now, and I am satisfied with Ah Nuan."
Xu Rongrong lowered his head in confusion, "I know, so don't be sad. If you really want to have parents, then treat my parents as your parents. Although my mother may have a bit of a temper... but people
Still very good.”
Although Wen Shanshan's expression was still calm, there was already a slight sourness in her nose. She looked at Xu Rongrong, who had a sincere face, and smiled, "Okay, I will go back to City A with you to visit them this year."
"Well, okay." Xu Rongrong nodded happily.
At this time, Zhan Yiyang spoke up to break the somewhat sad scene, "It's almost ten o'clock. Let's have some midnight snacks. These are the snacks Rongrong bought. Come and have some wine. Have a good night's sleep tonight."
Sleep."
Everyone cheered, and Xu Rongrong's happy laughter made the whole living room feel warm.
Suffering in this world will eventually pass. If you think you are suffering, others may be suffering more than you, so we should all cherish the present and strive to live a good life every day.
