Spring wasted

What kind of father is Professor Liang Zhizhang? It is difficult for Liang Chi to answer this question.

They have never been a close father and son. In all fairness, Liang Zhizhang is not a bad-tempered father, but he spent very little time and energy on family life in his previous marriage. His wife Du Kou seems to have become another father after marriage. Man, Liang Zhizhang hoped that his home would be a gentle harbor, but he didn't expect that there were typhoon storms of category [-] every day in this harbor.

During the quarrel, he and Du Kou were not at the same level at all, so he chose to avoid it, and spent more and more time on academics, teaching, and one project after another that was famous at home and abroad, and won the architectural design award. One after another, being successful and famous means he is very busy, but his wife and children are the missing things that he deliberately avoids and doesn't want to mention at all.

Not only him, everyone in this family wanted to escape earlier than the other. Liang Chi applied for a Korean trainee and ran out at the age of 13. Du Kou also stayed in Europe all the year round. Liang Chi never experienced normal "family affection". I feel that they are not like parents, let alone friends, and I don't know how to face Liang Zhizhang's wedding invitation.

The next afternoon, Jiang Kuang had dealt with the company's affairs earlier, and went with Liang Chi to choose the gift to give. Liang Chi couldn't tell what his father liked. After thinking about it, he said that he lived in the United States all year round, and his life style should be very Westernized. , so Jiang Kuang suggested that you should choose a pair of watches, which are grand and more practical.

Liang Chi also thought it was okay, so Jiang Kuang took him directly to a familiar luxury store. In the VIP shopping room, Liang Chi looked at the price, clicked his tongue, and quietly tugged at Jiang Kuang's sleeve and said, "It's too expensive. .”

One is that it is really expensive, beyond his budget and psychological price, and the other is that he is hesitant to give such a grand gift to this father who is almost a stranger.

But Jiang Kuang convinced him with only one sentence: "Let them know that you are doing well."

Liang Zhizhang and Du Kou may not know exactly what happened to Liang Chi in the entertainment industry, but they know that this kid is now confused and not popular anymore, and in the past occasional contacts, it was inevitable to be cold towards Liang Chi's stubborn choice ridicule.

Jiang Kuang said: "It's not a top-notch watch, it's just a top-notch watch. Now you think it's expensive, but it won't be soon. If you give it cheap, when you think about it later, it's yourself who feels embarrassed."

Liang Chi nodded, and suddenly remembered that when he fought hard to go to South Korea, Liang Zhizhang secretly gave him the travel expenses, living expenses and trainee fees. Although he didn't get along well now, he should express his belated thanks to his father.

It’s just that he is really poor now, and the first performance advance payment Guan Pingshan paid him is not enough to buy this pair of watches, so Jiang Kuang directly took out his card: “Today, I will calculate the advance payment to you, and in the future, I will share the proceeds from the film. Buckle it out."

Liang Chi knew that Jiang Kuang had found an excuse to get him down. Maybe he had planned it since Jiang Kuang proposed to send the watch, but Liang Chi himself had misjudged the price.

Liang Zhizhang’s new wife, Yang Caiqing, is an architect just like him. She just finished her Ph.D. The idea of ​​the wedding was decided by her. According to Western etiquette and customs, it will be an outdoor lawn wedding. table for dinner party outdoors.

It’s actually still cold to do an outdoor wedding at this time. Even with the sun, it’s still too thin for the bride to wear only a wedding dress, but the happiness of newlyweds and the pursuit of a sense of ritual overwhelm everything.

Yang Caiqing was a student of Liang Zhizhang when she was an undergraduate, and she has been infamous for falling in love with her teacher and junior for many years, but now she has finally achieved a positive result. This wedding is her moment to "justify her name".

Liang Chi and Jiang Kuang arrived at the Kaibin Hotel 10 minutes earlier than the wedding time, and were guided to the lawn in the back garden. Friends in the domestic architectural academic circle, over the years, the friends of the newlyweds basically coincide, and the atmosphere at the scene seems to be very harmonious.

There is no welcome table for ordinary Chinese weddings, everyone is like an open-air reception, Yang Caiqing is wearing a simple and neat wedding dress, holding Liang Zhizhang's arm and talking with friends.

It was Liang Zhizhang who first saw Liang Chi walking into the arena. He was stunned for a second, then raised his hand and waved at Liang Chi.

The moment Liang Chi saw his father, he was really happy. He also smiled and waved his hand. Seeing Liang Zhizhang bowed his head and said something to Yang Caiqing, the people in the circle looked at Liang Chi and Jiang Kuang together with Yang Caiqing.

Liang Zhizhang led Yang Caiqing to Liang Chi's side, Liang Chi's eyes were all focused on Liang Zhizhang, while Jiang Kuang, who kept smiling, noticed that Yang Caiqing's smile faded quickly, and his expression turned cold.

When they got closer, Liang Zhizhang couldn't help being a little excited when he saw Liang Chi. They hadn't seen each other for several years. Liang Chi looked like a handsome young man, and Liang Zhizhang didn't look much. Wrinkled, but the temples are already gray.

Liang Chi hesitated for a while but still didn't hug his father. He chose to reach out and shake hands with the two, then took out the wrapped gift and handed it over: "Dad, Sister Qing, I wish you a happy wedding."

Yang Caiqing didn't say anything. Liang Zhizhang took the gift and said with emotion: "Xiao Chi, it's great that you can come. Dad, thank you for the gift."

Liang Chi's eyes were full of smiles from the heart. He realized that the first time he saw Liang Zhizhang on the scene, he really wanted to wish his father a happy marriage life in the future. After all, this was something he had hardly felt in the previous marriage. past things.

He said, "Dad, Sister Qing, do you want to take it apart and see if you like it? Brother Kuang and I chose it for you."

Jiang Kuang took the initiative to reach out to them, and simply said his name: "Professor Liang, Miss Yang, my name is Jiang Kuang." Liang Chi added, "Brother Kuang is my boss and my best friend." , The movie I am about to make is invested and produced by him, and the story is also written by him."

Liang Zhizhang was surprised: "Are you going to make a movie?" Of course he didn't know, the movie didn't officially announce the cast, even if it was announced, as long as Liang Chi didn't take the initiative to tell him, he wouldn't be able to see it.

Liang Chi looked at Jiang Kuang with some embarrassment and smiled. Liang Zhizhang also looked at Jiang Kuang. He looked about the same age as his son, but he was much more mature and stable. He smiled and said, "Thank you for coming to our wedding. , today are all our own people, just order as you please."

Jiang Kuang nodded: "Okay, after Xiaochi's movie is released, I invite you to watch the premiere."

Liang Zhizhang nodded repeatedly, but unexpectedly, Yang Caiqing, who had been silent at the side, suddenly said: "We will return to the United States after the wedding, so we probably won't see the show."

Liang Zhizhang was a little embarrassed for a moment, and touched Yang Caiqing's arm, but he didn't know how to smooth things over. It was Jiang Kuang who said, "We will release it on the online platform after the theater screening, and everyone will see it."

"That's good, that's good." Liang Zhizhang said.

Liang Zhizhang unpacked the gift and saw a pair of expensive watches. He was immediately surprised. He is not a pedantic intellectual who only knows books and knowledge. He also has some understanding of the price of luxury goods. He said to Liang Chi, "What are you doing with such an expensive gift? It's a waste of money."

But Liang Chi could see that he liked it, and even Yang Caiqing's face softened the moment he saw the watch. He knew that Liang Zhizhang might not care about the value of the watch, but he was surprised that his son gave such an expensive gift. Some couldn't contain their pride in their children.

Parents have the same mentality. At this time, Liang Chi was lucky to listen to Jiang Kuang's offer and chose a gift that made everyone happy and satisfied.

The wedding was about to start, Liang Zhizhang asked them to go to the seats in front of the viewing platform and sit down first, Yang Caiqing suddenly said: "Oh, Xiaochi, I forgot, your father didn't tell me, I didn't know you would come today, forget Your seat has been arranged, as well as the dinner at night, I will ask someone to add a seat immediately."

Liang Zhizhang's embarrassment was written all over his face. In fact, these things can be arranged quietly, but Yang Caiqing said it in front of Liang Chi.

Liang Chi immediately said: "It's okay, Sister Qing, don't bother to make arrangements. We'll just stand and watch the ceremony, and we'll leave after a while. We won't be here for dinner at night. The crew has other things to do."

What else did Yang Caiqing want to say, but Liang Zhizhang interrupted him, and casually pulled a staff member to arrange a seat, letting Liang Chi and the others go first.

Liang Chi and Jiang Kuang walked towards the white seating area, and he smiled wryly at Jiang Kuang: "My house is quite messy, I'm laughing at you."

Jiang Kuang gently embraced his shoulders: "This is not your home, but your father's home. You have your own life."
