Keep the contract

Chapter 74

On New Year's Eve, Qiu Zhijun's family and Ye Xiong's family had a happy New Year's Eve dinner, and it was also a reunion dinner for the two families to become in-laws.

But who knows what kind of unknown "secret" lies behind this joyful New Year's Eve dinner, I think, probably only the parties know.

Ye Xiong and his wife Dong Xiuqun had dinner, and after staying at Qiu Zhijun's house for a short time, they got up and went back to their hometown.As for their daughter Ye Qiuying, Ye Xiong and his wife seemed to have nothing to do with her, saying that she had grown up and that young people had many ideas, so they didn't force her to go back to their hometown with them, and they let her go.

Yu Haitao feels that the days without Hu Jianming are dull.

Qiu Zhijun saw that his son was depressed every day and looked preoccupied, and he felt uncomfortable.Many times, he really wanted to tell his son Hu Jianming's contact information, but he considered the consequences again, but he didn't make up his mind after all.

Fortunately, there is also Ye Qiuying. These days, for her, her life should be similar to that of Yu Haitao.

Seeing Yu Haitao's depressed look every day, Ye Qiuying tried her best to find some happy things, and pulled Yu Haitao to do it with her, so as to cheer him up.But although Yu Haitao participated, he was only happy for a while.

Yu Haitao was very moved by Ye Qiuying's hard work, but even so, her position in his heart would never be comparable to that of Hu Jianming.

It seems to be the same every year. During the Chinese New Year, Guangzhou is like an "empty city".A large group of people who used to come and go on the streets in ordinary times, during the Chinese New Year period, it was completely deserted. A city that was overcrowded suddenly turned into an "empty city", which is really inconceivable.

As night falls, fireworks are scattered all over the city, flashing and flashing, and this process can last until two o'clock in the morning.

The beautiful fireworks release their brightest moments in the air, and then disappear in the air, leaving only the sighs of people after the joy.

Yu Haitao didn't go out, but locked himself in the room, while Qiu Zhijun, Su Yumin and others were watching the Spring Festival Gala around the TV.

In Yu Haitao's view, this new year is meaningless.In recent years, it seems that not much has changed except that people celebrate the new year in different ways.

And this year, for Yu Haitao, was an extremely complicated new year.

In addition to reacquainting with his father of more than 20 years and celebrating the New Year together, the most important thing is Yu Haitao's mother who has passed away.

In Yu Haitao's memory, for more than 20 years, he spent every New Year with his mother.But now, the original familiarity has gone away from him, gone away from him forever.

Looking at the night scene outside the window, Yu Haitao wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry. In a few hours, everything in this year has become a memory, a sad memory.

"Brother Haitao, we made some fruit snacks, can you eat with us?"

At some point, there was a knock on the door, it was Ye Qiuying's voice.

"Brother, come out, we made a lot of fruit snacks, why don't you come out and eat with us and your parents?" Qiu Wenwen also shouted outside the door.

Hearing Qiu Wenwen say the word "parents", Yu Haitao was very angry. You know, he never regarded Su Yumin as his mother, not even a stepmother!

Facing Qiu Wenwen's slip of the tongue, Yu Haitao suppressed the atmosphere in his heart. He calmed down a little, and answered them in a very calm tone:

"No, I'm not in the mood. Eat slowly, I'm sleepy and want to rest."

"Hey, brother, brother..."

Qiu Wenwen wanted to say something, but Ye Qiuying also stopped her.

"Okay, Wenwen, since your brother is tired, let your brother have a good rest, let's not disturb him, let's go downstairs."

Although Ye Qiuying's voice was low, Yu Haitao could still hear what she said clearly. Yu Haitao sat on the bed, gently, and then lay on his back.

"...3, 2, 1, Happy New Year!"

When the pointer and the minute and second hands are concentrated on the number twelve, the next second proves that the new year has officially arrived.

"Yeah, happy new year!"

There was a burst of cheering in the living room, and at this moment, Yu Haitao had already covered the quilt and got into bed.He didn't fall asleep, and kept staring at the ceiling in a daze.

In the sky outside the window, countless fireworks are flickering, celebrating the arrival of the new year.

About half an hour later, Yu Haitao suddenly thought of it. He got off the bed, put on his clothes, opened the door, and went downstairs.

Ye Qiuying and Qiu Wenwen seemed to have gone to rest in their respective rooms, and only Qiu Zhijun and Su Yumin were still watching TV programs in the living room.

Seeing Yu Haitao coming to the living room, Su Yumin smiled and said to her husband to go to rest first, Qiu Zhijun also nodded.

Su Yumin smiled and glanced at Yu Haitao, then walked towards her bedroom, she closed the door, and only Qiu Zhijun, Yu Haitao and his son were left in the living room.

"Actually, she doesn't need to be afraid of me." Yu Haitao looked at Su Yumin's closed door, sat on the sofa, and then said.

"Why, it's so late, why don't you go to bed?" Qiu Zhijun smiled slightly, ignoring his son's words.

"Can't sleep." Yu Haitao took a pillow and hugged it in his arms, looking at the TV and replied.

"Hehe, yes, it's Chinese New Year. I'm so excited, it's normal that I can't sleep." Qiu Zhijun handed Yu Haitao a piece of orange he had cut, and said with a smile.

Yu Haitao didn't take the orange slice that his father handed over, he didn't move at all, looking at his father, Qiu Zhijun was stunned for a while, then took the slice of orange back.

"You should know why I can't sleep."

"I know, of course I know." Qiu Zhijun replied calmly, "But isn't it painful for you to be like this?"

"This has nothing to do with you. I just want to ask you now, do you love my mother?" Yu Haitao asked with his arms folded, looking at his father quietly.

Qiu Zhijun was obviously stunned by his son's question, he was stunned for a few seconds before slowly answering.

"Love, I have always loved your mother very much. Even now, I can definitely answer that I really love her."

Yu Haitao quietly listened to his father's answer, but he didn't say anything.

"It's just that I feel infinite guilt towards her now. Her tolerance for me is far beyond my imagination. I thought she would hate me, but she didn't. Her generosity made me Ashamed, I'm sorry for her. She's a good and conscientious mother to you, and she's a good and conscientious wife to me. Maybe I don't have the right to call her my wife, because I am not worthy to be her husband at all, I abandoned you and our family..."

These words are Qiu Zhijun's heartfelt words, his true thoughts.

Qiu Zhijun wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, while Yu Haitao couldn't bear to watch anymore, because of him, his father was crying again.

"Dad, I understand you now. I think my mother is in heaven, so she will understand you too." Yu Haitao said with a choked voice.

"Oh, Dad doesn't need you and your mother to forgive me, I just hope you can accept my compensation, and I will be happy." Qiu Zhijun

Said with a sigh.

Abandoning Yu Haitao's mother and son for so many years, this is Qiu Zhijun's irreparable mistake, and now only compensation can alleviate his mistakes.

Looking at his father who was crying silently, Yu Haitao suddenly found that his father had aged a lot, his heart was stabbed severely, and it hurt very much.

"Dad, look, it's so late, you should go to rest, I will help you to rest." Yu Haitao's tone was full of concern, and he carefully helped his father up.

Seeing how his son cared about him so much, Qiu Zhijun was so moved that he couldn't say a word. He obediently leaned on his son and asked him to help him to rest.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go to rest too." At the door of the bedroom, Qiu Zhijun stopped, turned and said to his son.

"Okay." Yu Haitao nodded, and walked towards the stairs without hesitation.

Looking at his son's back, Qiu Zhijun smiled in comfort. He opened the bedroom door only after his son went upstairs. At this moment, what his son said made his eyes blur again.

"Happy New Years, Dad! Good night!"

He hadn't heard this sentence for more than 20 years. Qiu Zhijun was extremely excited at this moment, and he said slightly:

"Son, happy new year, good night!"

The new year is here...
