Anan

Jiang Zhihong, with a resolute personality, is a male chauvinist of the old school.Jiang Yu'an was the first child in the family. Originally, the Jiang family had no plans to have a second child.Because when Jiang Yu'an was in his teens, it was the time when Jiang Zhihong's career was on the rise. He was busy expanding his business territory, so he really didn't have extra energy to focus on his family.Now that the family already has a boy, the task of carrying on the family line has been completed, and there seems to be no need for a second child.

Jiang Weining's birth was a complete accident.

When she was pregnant with Jiang Weining, Yuan Wanping was already 40 years old, and she was an elderly woman. Originally, the doctor did not advise her to risk giving birth.But Yuan Wanping insisted on it herself, and Jiang Zhihong couldn't do anything about it.As an old man, Jiang Weining, Yuan Wanping had a hard time conceiving, and the day of giving birth was even more dangerous. Later, she was born after a lot of hardships, so she naturally cared and loved her very much.Even Jiang Zhihong always smiled more when facing this youngest son, and he was not as strict as he was for the eldest son.

Jiang Weining grew up in such an environment. He was well-behaved and smart when he was a child, but after entering adolescence, probably because of hormones, his thoughts changed, and he had to argue with his father from time to time.

Jiang Weining started playing the violin at the age of five, and has been playing the violin for 13 years. He has won numerous domestic and international awards, and has given Jiang Zhihong the limelight in the circle of relatives and friends.In the year of the college entrance examination, Jiang Zhihong had already entrusted someone to take care of his joints, and was going to send him to study at a first-class music academy in China, and then continue to study abroad and enter an orchestra.Who knew that Jiang Weining read this detective novel by chance, and suddenly said that he wanted to study psychology.

Jiang Zhihong was almost pissed off by him, and became furious at home, threatening to tell him to get out.And Jiang Weining was not to be outdone, he packed his luggage and went to the United States.

On New Year's Eve, Jiang Yu'an was lucky, and the flight arrived in San Francisco on time.He pushed the suitcase out and saw Jiang Weining at a glance.

Jiang Weining was a tall and handsome young man, wearing a dark brown flight jacket, which made his features even more delicate.Seeing Jiang Yu'an coming out, he waved his arms excitedly, and when Jiang Yu'an was out of the gate, he rushed over and hugged him head-on.

"Godfather!" He shouted happily: "This year is so good, you can come and celebrate the New Year with me!"

Godfather is Jiang Weining's pet name for his eldest brother, and this title has a history.When Jiang Weining was in elementary school, Jiang Zhihong hadn't retired to the second line, he was busy with business, and didn't have time to participate in the messy parent-child activities of the youngest son's school. Jiang Yu'an went on his behalf several times, and even later, the parents' meeting was arranged by Jiang Yu'an up.At that time, Jiang Yuan was 25 years old, the right age, and standing with Jiang Weining, everyone took it for granted that he was Jiang Weining's father.And Jiang Yu'an is young and handsome, standing among the crowd of parents, he stands out from the crowd and is very showy.Jiang Weining's vanity was a child, and he didn't explain it to others. He called Jiang Yu'an his father in a generous way.Later, in the fifth grade, Jiang Yu'an took over the company's affairs completely, and Jiang Zhihong also took time off. He wanted to attend the youngest son's parent meeting, but Jiang Weining turned his back on him and refused to let him go.

Jiang Zhihong felt that something was wrong, after some inducement and questioning, he was very angry when he learned the truth of the matter, he beat up his youngest son, and by the way Jiang Yu'an was also reprimanded.However, Jiang Weining admits his mistakes and admits his mistakes, and he is still close to his eldest brother in his heart. In private, he often calls him "godfather" affectionately.

At this time, Jiang Yu'an also raised his arms to hug her back, patted Jiang Weining on the back, and said, "Mom misses you very much, and Dad also let go."

Jiang Weining was taken aback for a moment, let go of his hand slightly and backed away, looked at him in surprise and asked, "Dad agrees with me to study psychology?"

Jiang Yu'an said: "Father didn't agree. But whether he agrees or not, you have already finished college. Since you are about to graduate soon, I think you are almost enough. Go home this year."

Jiang Weining slowly frowned: "What do you mean is almost enough? My grades are pretty good now, I graduated from undergraduate, and I want to continue my graduate studies. If he disagrees, will I still have to fight when I go back? What's the point of that?" I don't want it." He looked suspiciously at Jiang Yu'an: "Brother, you are not here to be a lobbyist for him, are you? You have also become a greasy middle-aged man?!"

Jiang Yu'an glared at him: "After taking my money, how dare you call me greasy?"

Jiang Weining suddenly softened, took his suitcase and said flatteringly: "No, no, godfather's temperament is dusty, how can a person like a fairy be greasy? You must have heard it wrong just now."

Jiang Yu'an didn't bother to argue with him, and walked towards the outside of the terminal: "Let's go back first."

Jiang Weining rented a house near the school, the rent was paid by Jiang Yuan, but the tuition and living expenses had to be earned by himself.Jiang Weining is also stubborn. When he is not in class, he goes to work in restaurants in the city. He also accepts some translation jobs online. He actually managed to read the book by himself.Today is New Year's Eve, he asked for leave from the restaurant, and borrowed a delivery van from his friend in the kitchen to pick up Jiang Yu'an.

Jiang Yu'an saw the van that smelled like fish, without saying anything, opened the passenger door with a calm face and got in.Jiang Weining put the suitcase into the back of the van, then opened the door and sat in the driver's seat, started the car and drove towards the city.

Jiang Yu'an has never been in such a bad car in his life, and he didn't feel anything after flying in the sky for more than ten hours. Now, after sitting for a while, he felt pain in all his bones.Jiang Weining is very used to it, talking and laughing while driving, and when passing by the commercial street in the city, he asked him with a smile: "Brother, today is Chinese New Year, have you brought me a gift yet?"

Jiang Yu'an pressed a line of window slits, and replied with faint nausea: "I have brought you, Mom knitted you a set of autumn clothes and johns, and Aunt Wu pickled two bottles of pickles for you, but the pickles were rejected when they passed the inspection." It was taken away, but I couldn’t bring it back.”

Jiang Weining couldn't laugh or cry: "Oh, these two old ladies are really..." He asked again: "What about you, what did you bring me?"

Jiang Yu'an said: "I flew all the way here to accompany you for the festival, isn't that enough?"

Jiang Weining smiled, turned to look at Jiang Yu'an and said coquettishly: "Godfather treats me the best."

Jiang Yu'an tapped the co-pilot's drawer with her knuckles and said, "Concentrate on driving."

Jiang Yu'an got motion sickness and vomited when he got home, and he recovered after sleeping.At this time, it was already dark, and Jiang Weining bought meat, vegetables and flour from a nearby Chinese supermarket. He was kneading dough in the kitchen. Seeing Jiang Yu'an getting up from the bed to find water to drink, he called out: "Brother, come and make bread with me." Dumplings!"

Jiang Yu'an drank water and walked over, washed his hands under the faucet, helped him close up, and brought up the unfinished topic at the airport: "Are you really planning to continue studying psychology?"

Jiang Weining nodded: "Yes."

"But you are so good at playing the violin, don't you think it's a pity to give up now?"

Jiang Weining disagreed, and retorted him: "What's the pity? When I learned the violin, I just thought it was fun. I never thought about joining an orchestra. Now I want to study psychology because I am interested. There is no difference between the two. , there is no giving up anything for something.”

Jiang Yu'an said: "But there are too many interesting things in the world. If you like this one today, and another one tomorrow, you may end up with nothing."

Jiang Weining suddenly asked: "Brother, how much money does our family have now?"

Jiang Yu'an immediately understood what he was thinking, and said, "It doesn't matter how much money the family has, what matters is whether Dad is willing to leave the inheritance to you."

Jiang Weining stopped what he was doing, turned his head to stare at Jiang Yu'an, his eyes were very serious, and asked him: "If Dad really doesn't recognize me as a son, big brother, will you take care of me?"

Jiang Yu'an looked at him for a while, and finally replied solemnly: "Yes. You are my own brother, and we have the same blood on our bodies. This relationship will not change because of Dad's attitude towards you. Whether he recognizes it or not I will take care of you for the rest of my life."

Jiang Weining laughed immediately, and said: "Then why should I be afraid, anyway, with you raising me, wouldn't I still be able to survive?" Then before Jiang Yu'an could speak, he suddenly straightened his face again, and said with a serious expression: "Brother , I'm not really ungrateful, I just want to choose my own life. Dad is too authoritarian. I have to do whatever he wants me to do. This is simply wrong. I am a human being, not his dog, and so am I. With thoughts and feelings, he has no right to treat me like this."

Jiang Yu'an nodded: "I can understand you. Dad's style is indeed a bit tough, but it's not his fault. He was born in a different era than we are now. The mainstream thinking is very traditional, and there is no influence Very good education, resulting in his thinking mode is very different from ours. Now that he is older, it is even more impossible for him to adapt to the times and make changes. But you should understand that his original intention is still for your own good. He believes that men should Perseverance and longevity, so you have been playing the violin for 13 years, and it is a big mistake to give up halfway. It is not that he wants his youngest son to be a musician, so he forces you to play the violin-he just doesn’t want it You become a half-hearted person."

Jiang Weining was silent and didn't speak for a while.

Jiang Yu'an said: "So if you have time, let's go back and have a good talk with Dad."

Jiang Weining sighed, bowed his head and said, "Okay!"

On this day's New Year's Eve dinner, the two brothers made dumplings together, and Jiang Weining cooked two dishes.The dishes taste good, but the dumplings are oddly shaped.However, Jiang Weining was still in high spirits. He opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for himself and Jiang Yu'an. He raised his glass and said, "Godfather, Happy New Year, I toast you!"

Jiang Yu'an clinked glasses with him, smiled and said, "I wish you success in your studies."

Jiang Weining was grinning, smug: "I'm quite successful in my studies, do you want to see my report card?"

Jiang Yu'an brought the wine glass to his lips, took a sip slowly, and said, "I don't want to read the report card, I want to ask you something."

Jiang Weining asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Yu'an said: "I recently raised a child by my side, I think he should..."

Jiang Weining was taken aback, and interrupted him in amazement: "What?! Child? What child? Are you married? You didn't tell me such a big thing?!"

Jiang Yu'an had a headache and said: "Calm down, I'm not married, and I haven't had a child, but I plan to have one, so I found this child temporarily, it can be regarded as a rehearsal in advance."

Jiang Weining stared at him with wide eyes, in disbelief: "You don't know, are you really planning to do some kind of surrogacy?"

"Yes."

Jiang Weining's scalp was numb, and he couldn't help shouting: "Are you crazy?! You don't like children, why do you want to be a surrogate? Just because Dad wants to have a grandson?"

Jiang Yu'an looked at him calmly: "How do you know that I don't like children? What's more, there is nothing wrong with doing the right thing at the right age. I am 40 years old this year, and it is reasonable to have a child, right? "

Jiang Weining snorted coldly: "Don't tell me such nonsense. If you really like children, why wait until you are 40 years old to have another child? What's more, you don't even have a woman who wants to marry, and you want children, ha, this kind of words Meng Papa's old antiques are okay, are you fooling me?"

Jiang Yu'an stared at the wine glass in his hand and didn't speak for a while.

The more Jiang Weining thought about it, the more angry he got, he stood up and said: "No, this is absolutely not possible!" He clenched his fists and circled back and forth in the room, and finally seemed to be dizzy with anger, raised his head and yelled, and turned to Jiang Yu'an angrily Said: "It's because you always obeyed and obeyed Dad's words, so he became more and more stubborn! Dad - he really went too far this time! You can't follow him anymore!"

He rushed over to hold Jiang Yu'an's shoulders, stared at him with piercing eyes and said, "Brother, don't go back, you stay with me. The old man wants to hold his grandson and give birth to him, so leave him alone!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yu'an finally couldn't help laughing out loud, looked up at him and said, "I'll stay with you in the US? Then I won't have my share in the company. I won't be able to find a job after my visa expires. How can I support you?"

Jiang Weining squatted down, looked up into his eyes and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't work, the professor who takes me now admires me very much, I'm a graduate student of him, let him help with the visa, I earn money to support me you."

Jiang Yu'an was stunned. In his heart, his younger brother had always been a carefree young man, he was used to being casual and casual, so naturally he couldn't talk about a man's sense of responsibility. At this time, the other party was able to say such a thing, which was really unexpected. he expected.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Weining eagerly shook his thigh and asked, "Brother, are you okay? Don't go back."

Jiang Yu'an stretched out his hand, touched his face, and replied softly: "Ning Ning, don't say such stupid things."

Jiang Weining stared at him blankly.

Jiang Yu'an took his arm and pulled him up: "I really don't have the idea that I must pass on the family line, but I don't reject children. I have my own considerations about whether to have children, and it's not entirely because of Dad. You think too seriously."

"Why is that?" Jiang Weining asked.

"Because I'm also lonely." Jiang Yu'an said: "I've been tired outside for a day, and when I get home, I hope to have someone who doesn't bother to sit with me and talk, or he doesn't need to talk, just listen to me. .”

Jiang Weining frowned, and said seriously: "Brother, your idea is wrong. This is not the feeling a father should have for his child. You obviously lack a partner. You should go out and meet more women."

Jiang Yu'an smiled wryly, and said, "Do you think I know very few women?" He picked up the wine glass and drank the rest of the red wine in one gulp: "There is no shortage of good women in this world, but you have to find one who can be with you." It's not easy for people who are connected with each other. In this respect, I actually envy my father."

Jiang Weining murmured thoughtfully, "Because you can't find it, so you want to make one yourself..."

Jiang Yu'an nodded calmly: "Yes."

Jiang Weining took a breath like a toothache: "Your idea..."

"Is it disgusting?" Jiang Yu'an asked softly, turning the wine glass.

Jiang Weining shook his head: "Disgusting is not disgusting, but it is dangerous. If you just hope that there is someone who can understand you and communicate with you without burden, of course there is no problem, but you can guarantee that it will not cause more harm to him. Any further thoughts?" He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Brother, do you know about pedophilia?"

Jiang Yu'an's face suddenly changed, but he still asked calmly: "My current thoughts belong to pedophilia?"

"No." Jiang Weining said: "I want to say that there is no distinction between high and low in love itself. Whether it's child lovers, homosexuals, or even old lovers, it's just a special oriented emotional model. , the key is whether this orientation will affect your behavior. When your behavior will cause harm to others, your emotions are dangerous and must be restrained by the outside world. But if you can control yourself, just do emotions If you communicate online without harming others, then other people have no right to criticize you. However, the human heart is a very complicated thing, and desire and greed will become more and more serious. It is difficult to self-discipline and stick to the bottom line for a lifetime. People can’t do it, so mainstream society will subconsciously harbor rejection and hostility towards non-heterosexuals.”

He asked Jiang Yu'an: "Brother, can you guarantee that in such an emotional mode, you will never have more thoughts about this child?"

Jiang Yu'an was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know."

Jiang Weining sat back on the chair: "If you are not sure, don't try it lightly."

When the words come here, it will be considered as an end.Jiang Yu'an didn't intend to continue the discussion, and Jiang Weining didn't ask any further questions.The two ate the food on the table in silence, then the elder brother washed the dishes and the younger brother took a bath.It's just that Jiang Weining is still young, obviously not as calm as Jiang Yu'an, he came out wrapped in a bathrobe and sat at the end of the bed, he watched Jiang Yu'an squatting on the ground rummaging through the suitcase for a change of clothes, his face full of worries.

Jiang Yu'an finally pulled out his pajamas from the bottom layer.When he got up and went to the bathroom, he passed by Jiang Weining, raised his hand and pressed Jiang Weining's wet head, and said: "Just pretend that I didn't say anything about the surrogacy, I won't have a child."

Jiang Weining was stunned for a moment, raised his head and asked him, "Then what do you do with Dad?"

Jiang Yu'an went to the bathroom and replied without turning her head: "Father just wants to hold a grandson, I'm not going to have a baby, don't you still have you?"

Jiang Weining turned pale with shock, and shouted out of tune, "Ah? Brother, why are you doing this—are you planning to sell me?!"

The bathroom door was not closed tightly, and Jiang Yu'an's laughter came out together with the sound of water: "I have been your godfather for more than 20 years, is it all for nothing? I am selling you now, what can you do to me?" ?”
