destined to love who

General Xie and his wife came over the next morning. The children were led by Yin Chunxiao and Xu Anian to watch TV in the room, and the rest of them followed Mama Xu to welcome them out.

The three generations of Xie's family are all armed with guns. General Xie is an old man, and he only embraced this fat boy in his 40s. Naturally, it looks more expensive, but as a soldier, he will never spoil children, and He is strict, he is not at home all year round, and when he comes back, he is serious and serious. Xie Hui is not close to him.

General Xie, in his 60s, got out of the car in a neat military uniform. He walked vigorously, his waist was straighter than that of young people, and he didn't look angry from a distance. .

Mother Xu kept her chest up, like an old Populus euphratica, even if she looked haggard, she would do her best to support her child with shade.

Yin Shaoyang poked Xie Hui and asked him to go up. The latter stood motionless beside Xu's mother like a wooden stake. He had no choice but to go up.

He took two steps forward to greet him, and gave a military salute in a funny way, "Hello, Chief!"

Mrs. Xie next to her covered her mouth and smiled, and was about to exchange greetings when General Xie said with a straight face, "Hello, Director Yin!"

Obviously to vent his anger, Yin Shaoyang laughed awkwardly, "Hello, Uncle Xie!" After saying that, he raised his head and said, "This is Mama Xu, Mama Xu, this is Xie Hui's father, General Xie, and this is Mrs. Xie .”

Xu's mother didn't know how many times she rehearsed last night, she gently extended her hand and said with a smile, "Hi, I'm Xu Anning's mother."

General Xie's eyes moved from her face to her outstretched right hand, the palm was straight and firm, and the trembling was barely visible.

Everyone held their breath and watched General Xie nervously. Just as Yin Shaoyang tried to resolve the embarrassment, General Xie dropped his gloves and held Mother Xu's hand, "Hello!"

A large group of people entered the main room, Mrs. Xie looked around, General Xie recuperated well in this area, directly sat in the chair, fixed his eyes on his son, "Come here."

Xie Hui snorted and walked over, but before he could stand still, General Xie got up suddenly and slapped the mountain, everyone was startled, Mrs. Xie hurried over and stopped Xie Hui behind, and blamed: "Thank you, old man!" What is this for? We agreed not to do anything today!"

Xie Hui covered his face and looked at his father unyieldingly.

General Xie gently pushed Mrs. Xie away, sat down, and said in a cold voice: "Fortunately, I can still scream, if I can't scream, it's not a matter of slap!"

"Don't worry about a few slaps, I'm not ambiguous!" Xie Hui said loudly: "You will also use a stick to educate your son. If I hadn't slapped your son, I would have broken three limbs a long time ago!"

"Thank you for remembering that he is my son!" General Xie glared at him, then turned to the stunned mother Xu: "I'll show you a joke."

Mother Xu laughed dryly: "Where, where..."

General Xie smiled gently, but he was still quite creepy, "I'm sorry to bother you today, please bear with me!"

Xie Hui stared at his old man in disbelief. This old guy has always had a dark face to bluff people, and he has no culture. It sounds disgusting that he can speak such polite Chinese.

Before Xu's mother could speak, General Xie said again: "First of all, I want to express my attitude. I don't agree with the matter of the two children."

"That's my business, you have no right to interfere!" Xie Hui shouted anxiously.

Mrs. Xie scolded sharply: "Xie Hui, why are you talking to your father!" She winked as she spoke, telling him not to push back.

Mother Xu took a deep breath and smiled slightly, "General Xie, I am a woman with little education, and I am soft-spoken. Since you have expressed your position, let me also share my opinion. It is not good. I hope you don't mind it." Just kidding."

"You say."

"I only confirmed the matter of the two children a month ago. They have been hiding it from me before. If I don't ask, it doesn't mean I don't care. If I don't say it, it doesn't mean I agree. Country people don't accept this matter better than city people, so My worries are deeper than yours."

General Xie nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Mother Xu looked back at the two people standing together, pursed her lower lips, and turned her head, "At first I couldn't sleep all night, and thought of countless ways to separate them. My family didn’t leave time to watch them, but they couldn’t think of a good way to break them up completely. After a long time, it gave me a chance to understand them.”

"When An Ning of my family came home alone, I was bored in the house all day long. I didn't dare to ask, because the child ran away to work back then, and it was because his father and I felt sorry for him. He went away for six years... I saw him every day. Happy, as a mother, my heart felt like a knife was twisted. Later, when Xie Hui came, An Nian was with him. Gradually, he talked more and became more energetic. So when I thought about it later, I felt that as long as the child Being happy is better than anything else, I am half buried in the loess, I can't block the happiness of my children just to protect my face in front of the neighbors."

Xu Anning looked at Mother Xu with tears in her eyes, and Xie Hui squeezed her palms, comforting her every now and then. He complained for six years because his parents took his high school money to see a doctor for An Nian, and now he complains , but when his mother faced the powerful General Xie for him and Xie Hui alone, he only felt ashamed now that he said such a thing, and owed his parents six years of love and love.

General Xie pondered for a while, pursed his lips, and said, "What you said is very reasonable, even if it is so, I still disagree!"

"Dad!" Xie Hui anxiously looked like a mouse with its tail cut off, "Why are you!"

General Xie didn't bother to pay attention to this bastard son, and said to Xu's mother: "Our Xie family is not prosperous. The eight sons in my grandfather's area died of starvation, illness, and war. In the end, only my grandfather was left alone. The old man fought with the chairman. Jiang Shan couldn't take care of his family and children, and my father was the only one left in that generation, and in my generation, Xie Hui, an unworthy son, was born. To be honest, most of the responsibility for this child's failure to raise him is my responsibility."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xie Hui angrily, and sighed inaudibly, "The older generation is all out of power by the barrel of a gun. Although our Xie family has a weak relationship between father and son, everyone can definitely take it out. The indomitable man has become a different kind when he comes to Xie Hui, so my criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law are very strict, that is, to be able to control him, to help him grow up, to be a man, to be a man, not to serve the country, but to give to us The old Xie family discredited!"

"I am heinous and outrageous? Is it your own?"

"If you weren't my own, you should have eaten black dates long ago!" General Xie yelled sharply, so angry that the whole hall trembled.

Mrs. Xie glanced at Xu Anning several times by looking at her son, but Xu Anning kept avoiding her gaze.

"Mother Xu, I'll call you that too, okay?" Mrs. Xie smiled.

Mother Xu also smiled back: "We country people, you can call them that, it's up to you."

"Then I'll follow what my old Xie said and talk about my opinion." She took good care of her hands, playing with the rough porcelain cup, which made the humble cup extraordinarily noble. Personality, my father and I are not so old-fashioned, but we must find someone who can help him. This kid is impatient and loves to cause trouble. Speaking of it, he is the least promising one in the past three generations. He made mistakes in the army. Forget it, he was forcibly arrested by his father and returned home, and later ran away from home, do you think he has not only made no progress, but has turned around?"

The woman speaks in a tactful way, and she glanced at Xu An Ning pointingly as she spoke, how could Xu's mother fail to understand the meaning behind her words, and said with a neither humble nor humble smile: "I can understand your feelings, when our An Nian left home At that time, his father and I were always in a hurry, and his father said that he would break his legs if he was found, and then..." Xu's mother's eyes turned red in an instant, and she choked up: "About two months later, the child I sent money to my family, old bills of ten yuan each, a total of 100 yuan, never broken, and he was only 16 years old at that time."

"Mom..." Xu Anning supported Mother Xu's shoulders, and buried her head deeply.

Xu's mother grabbed his hand and smiled at Mrs. Xie: "His father and I also went to Beijing once, but we couldn't find An Ning. After returning home, I look forward to the day when he sends money back every month. I'm sure the child is still fine. His father left very suddenly. When he was alive, he couldn't mention An Ning and scolded him when he mentioned it. After he left, I found in the drawer the transcripts and essays of An Ning from childhood to adulthood that he had sorted out. The time is well placed, after the composition "My Home", his father... also copied a song called "Swallows Returning to the Nest."

Speaking of this, Xu's mother pinched Xu Anning's palm, Mrs. Xie looked at her son from afar, her eyes dim with tears, General Xie picked up the teacup and lowered his eyes to blow tea, but he didn't drink it for a long time, Yin Shaoyang stunned, not knowing What are you thinking.

The TV in the room had been turned to mute a long time ago, Xu Annian was leaning in the corner, maintaining his ten-thousand-year ice sculpture posture, motionless, Yin Chunxiao was staring at the constipation advertisement on the TV, watching with gusto.

Mother Xu turned to Xie Hui, "I didn't intend to say these words at first, and I didn't want to make An Ning feel guilty, but now that I have said it, I want you to know that there are no parents who don't love their children, and the generation gap between the two generations is what causes The root of the misunderstanding, if your parents don’t tell you, it doesn’t mean they don’t care about you.”

Xie Hui called hoarsely: "Mom..."

Mrs. Xie subconsciously stood up, not wanting her son to be squatting beside Xu's mother's legs, burying his head in a show of obedience, stepping half of his feet, not walking or walking, it was like something embarrassing.

Xie Hui has never been so close to her since she was a child, except for breastfeeding, Mrs. Xie thought with gusto.

Chi Xiaoluo smiled lowly, his palm was hot, and it was held by Yin Shaoyang. He pulled back hard, but he didn't want Yin Shaoyang to let go, and fell backwards due to inertia, and then his lower back was supported. He glared at Yin Shaoyang fiercely, Just about to push him away, General Xie gave a dry cough.

"Xie Hui, Xu Anning ran away from home in order to make money to help the family. Besides, he was only 16 years old, and you are 26. You still ran away from home, and you were flying outside to get fuel. Do you have any shame! "

Lao Xie said this because he was seriously neglected by his son, and his heart was unbalanced. What Xu's mother said just now happened to be so sad that even if he was killed, he couldn't explain it.

When Xie Hui heard this, he stood up, but put away the rebellion just now, his expression was very peaceful, as if he had been enlightened by the master, and he looked like a man in an instant.

"Dad, you taught me to use whips and sticks since I was a child, so from that time on, I knew that the one with hard fists is the father, and the one who can't get up on the ground is the son. I not only have to withstand your fists, but also have to practice Just harden your fist and slap someone on the ground and call me daddy!"

General Xie was annoyed and funny when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, but his eyes were staring like copper bells.

"I admit that I was quite disappointing. You brought me back when I got into trouble in the army. I was at a loss at the time. I really didn't know what else I would do besides carrying a gun. Then I went to bars every day. That's where I met In the beginning, I looked down on him from the bottom of my heart and punished him a lot. I thought to myself that a man is as if he has never seen money. He really loses his points."

He glanced at Xu An Ning apologetically, got an encouraging look, and then continued, "Later he ran away because of my anger, and I searched for half a year before I found this place. It’s hard, but that’s not the same, that’s not called life. When I came here, I saw Mama Xu taking a few children by herself. With the most basic living expenses allocated by the government, they try their best to live the best life with their fingers, they know how to live, and live clearly."

"I have lived for nothing in the past 26 years. Dad, look at me now. I built the house. The chair under your buttocks was dragged back from the town's old furniture market by me and An Ning on three wheels. There is also the water heater in the bathroom, which is made by myself with solar energy. You haven’t seen the fish pond I contracted, have you? A batch of fish fry died at the beginning. I cried all night in the fish pond with An Ning behind my back, not for capital Distressed... Oh, there are also reasons why I feel distressed about money. What I feel even more distressed is that the hard work I spent was wasted. I have grown up so much, and I have never felt so useless. It turns out that in front of life, everyone is the same. who is superior."

"Why should I look down on others? I look down on those honest country people the most, but other people's fish are well-raised, and they are all bigger than mine. Compared with them, I am a loser!"

General Xie remained silent, the tea in his hand was already cold, and he didn't know what kind of tea it was, it had thick stalks and large leaves, it was astringent in his mouth, but the sweetness came back leisurely in his throat, just like his mood at the moment, no Know whether it is bitter or sweet.

Mrs. Xie was already in tears, and took two steps forward to grab Xie Hui's hand, "Son, mom doesn't know what to say, you seem to be a different person, mom can't accept it all at once, I... ..."

"What can't you accept?" General Xie suddenly stood up and waved his hand: "Lead me to see the fish you raised, no, no, no, first visit the house you built, I want to see if it is strong, lead the way! "

General Xie gave an order, and everyone got the order, like a large army marching out, and Xie Hui led each room around.

Mother Xu and Chi Xiaolao looked at each other and smiled, and they went into the kitchen to prepare meals.

"Is this the children?" General Xie asked when he turned to the room on the first floor.

Before Xie Hui could speak, several little guys inside had already stood up and said in unison, "Hi, Grandpa!"

"Yeah!" General Xie laughed loudly, nodding repeatedly: "Not bad, polite, do you want to be a soldier in the future?"

Xiaojun said loudly: "I want to!"

Mrs. Xie thumped General Xie on the shoulder: "You, keep your three words in line!"

General Xie patted Xiaojun on the head, feeling very happy, "You are the biggest here, how about taking grandpa to visit?"

Xiaojun put his legs together and said loudly: "Yes, Chief!"

After the house was finished, lunch was ready, a large round table was set up in the yard, a few men and a guard who came over gathered around the table, General Xie was in a great mood, he pulled Xiao Jun not to let go, insisting on forcing him Sitting in the seat next to him, accompanied by Yin Shaoyang and others, he drank a few ounces of white wine and kept praising the freshness of the vegetables grown at home. After drinking for three rounds, he looked back and forth between Yin Shaoyang and Yin Chunxiao, and said in an unclear way: " The countryside trains people, so it's good for you two brothers to stay here longer."

Turning to Yin Chunxiao, he compared his height with his hands, and said with a smile, "I've seen you before, and you were only this old, and now you're a young man, not bad!"

Yin Chunxiao had no impression of him, so he could only smile perfunctorily.

After eating, the big guys went to the fish pond, and before leaving, they netted two grass carp and packed them in oxygen bags to take back.

The old couple didn't directly say anything about Xie Hui and Xu Anning. Mrs. Xie called Xie Hui and Xu Anning to talk about something before getting in the car, and General Xie called Yin Shaoyang aside.

"Huazi and his family have had some minor incidents."

Yin Shaoyang was startled when he heard this, and General Xie pressed his hands to signal him to be calm and not to be impatient, "Their family kept this matter very tight, and I only revealed it when Lao Tao came to ask me for help. There is a Chinese American named Tang Honor, do you know him?"

Yin Shaoyang nodded cautiously, "I know each other, I haven't dealt with them before."

General Xie stared suspiciously into his eyes, as if he was judging the truth of the words, and he avoided the serious ones in the end, half warning and half reminding, and said: "It's best not to, you can do it yourself."

General Xie obviously didn't want to say more, so Yin Shaoyang didn't ask any more questions, he sent the man to the car, and forgot about it when he turned his head.
