Xiao Su watched an episode of "Operation Red Sea" on the spur of the moment, packed up and rushed to the reserved restaurant ahead of time, waiting for his father-in-law to visit.

After waiting anxiously for more than ten minutes, the waiter led a tall middle-aged man into the private room.

Rong Sihuan is almost exactly the same as the Miemeng shooter in the AR game, with a straight back, stern eyebrows and eyes, exuding a soldier's unique chilling aura, but I don't know if it's because he works too hard, or because he is angry with his wicked son, he is in his early forties His temples are already a little frosty due to his age.

The waiter took it to the door and left, Xiao Su got up and called "Uncle Rong", and went to pick up the travel bag in his hand.

"You're welcome, sit down." Rong Sihuan looked him up and down with sharp eyes, and smiled, "Mr. Xiao is just as I thought, one look can calm down that brat Rong Rui."

Xiao Su didn't know if it was a compliment or a complaint, but seeing him smiling brightly, he relaxed a little and said, "He went to the Municipal Bureau in the morning, and there is an important witness who needs to be re-examined, and he may be late..."

Rong Sihuan waved his hand: "I can't make it, let's just talk about it today, let him stay aside."

Xiao Su was puzzled, Rong Sihuan raised his eyebrows, and a smirk curled up at the corner of his mouth, which resembled Rong Rui's: "Don't you know his bad temper? He will definitely choke me again when we meet, what the hell? Don't even think about talking, so I sent him a stick to Sha County for snacks!"

"Huh?" Xiao Su was stunned, Rong Sihuan smiled and handed him the phone.Xiao Su took it and looked at it, and couldn't laugh or cry at once—Rong Rui sent a message at ten o'clock to change the address, and Rong Sihuan didn't reply until a quarter past twelve. "Eight Shame Socialist Core Values", let him change back to Shaxian snacks, don't be too extravagant when meeting for the first time, don't waste Teacher Xiao's money.

In the end, I didn't forget to tell him that I would personally notify Mr. Xiao and express my gratitude, so that he can work with peace of mind and don't worry about it.

"I told him that the plane was late and changed the lunch to 01:30." Rong Sihuan said proudly, "So he won't bother us before 01:30!"

Xiao Su was also convinced by the two father and son, he couldn't tell whether it was cheating or cheating.

The only thing that is certain is, biological.

"Will he be angry if you do this?" Xiao Su picked up the teapot and poured tea for his father-in-law. Rong Sihuan tapped his fingers twice to express his gratitude, and said, "Why don't he get angry? Well, it's the same."

This is true, Xiao Su is speechless, he can only sigh that his father-in-law is open to thinking.

Rong Sihuan took two sips of tea and said, "You should be very clear about our father-son relationship... By the way, thank you for letting him bring back the old wild ginseng and tea leaves during the Chinese New Year. It's been 20 years since he was young. I deliver something."

Xiao Su hurriedly said yes, Rong Sihuan sighed, and said: "To tell you the truth, my son is good at everything. He never asked me to worry about it since he was a child, but it's the same - hate me."

His expression darkened, and his sharp eyes were slightly hurt: "Because of his mother's death, it has been 12 years, and he never forgave me."

Xiao Su didn't expect Rong Sihuan to bring up such a profound topic to himself within 5 minutes of the first meeting. He thought he would first torture him about the process of acquaintance, who chased whom, what stage of development and so on.

At least talk about Wolf Warrior and Wu Jing first!

Seeing his surprise, Rong Sihuan sighed again, and said, "He should have told you that 12 years ago, his mother had an accident in East Africa, and because I didn't rescue her in time... she was killed."

This is the biggest rift between their father and son, and it hurts his heart. Xiao Su straightened his expression and said, "He mentioned it, but I don't know much... 12 years ago, that was 2017? At that time he just Seven years old?"

"Well, seven years old." Rong Sihuan opened the white wine on the table, poured himself a glass, and asked Xiao Su, "Have some?"

Xiao Su hurriedly picked up the wine glass, Rong Sihuan filled it up for him, and said: "Me and Rongrui's mother, because of our two professions, have been getting together less and more. That year when Rongrui was just in elementary school, his mother wanted to do it. After finishing the project at hand, find a university and transfer to a teaching position, who knows...the last time I went abroad, I didn't come back."

Rongrui's mother, Zheng Fei, has been engaged in biomedical research. After giving birth to Rongrui, she has been insisting on the front line of scientific research, leading her team around the world.Because Rong Rui was always taken by his grandparents, Rong Sihuan and his wife were more at ease, so before the child was seven years old, the three of them spent less than two months together as a family every year.

In 2017, when Rongrui entered elementary school, Zheng Fei began to think about her son's education, so she submitted applications to several colleges and universities, intending to settle down and lead students.At the end of June, a medical institution in East Africa suddenly sent an invitation, saying that a project she followed up a few years ago had made a breakthrough, and she was invited to participate in the new field survey.

Zheng Fei put a lot of effort into this project at the beginning, and when new progress suddenly appeared, she was naturally very excited, and immediately applied to her superiors to go abroad for investigation. On the one hand, it was for the unresolved project, and on the other hand, it could be regarded as a complete success for her scientific research career. full stop.

At the beginning of July, Zheng Fei embarked on a journey to East Africa. Half a month later, a small-scale riot broke out in the area where the inspection team was located, and the members retreated in batches. Another week later, the bad news came. Doctors were killed together, killed by militants in a col.

"I was on a top-secret mission at the time." Rong Sihuan took a sip of his wine and said, "My lurking observation point was very close to the place where the team was killed. That night I was lying on a big tree, wearing a night Looking through the mirror, I vaguely saw a distress flare appearing in the south...but I didn't rush over there."

He was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, I was lucky that day and told myself that I was wrong, or that the signal flare was not sent by his mother-just the day before, the safety zone also received a group of survivors from that investigation group. Or, they said that everyone in the team is retreating in the direction of Whale Lake, and the place where the signal flare rises is a mountainous area, which is in two completely opposite directions from Whale Lake..."

"However, there was no luck. By the time I finished the mission and returned to the safe area, the death notice had already been sent to my superior."

Rong Sihuan drank a glass of wine, let out a long breath, and said: "Everyone told me that this incident was an accident. I can't predict it. I know that the signal flare was sent by my wife. It is obvious that the investigation group owns it." Everyone withdrew in the direction of Whale Lake, and no one thought that their team would run in the opposite direction... Later, even I believed it myself, all this was just a coincidence, it was fate... until that day, my son asked me one question."

"He said, Dad, if you knew that it was Mom and that it was her dying signal, would you save her?"

Rong Sihuan stroked the rim of the wine glass for a long time, and said, "That day was the day of the burial, and the weather was extremely hot, and the sun seemed to melt people. But Rong Rui insisted on wearing formal clothes, a snow-white shirt, and a small black suit. The little face was cold, without a drop of sweat. I looked into his eyes, so dark, so bright, so cold...I said, no."

"I can't lie to myself anymore, I won't, because I'm a soldier." Rong Sihuan wiped his face and said, "My son, who is only seven years old, can see through people's hearts."

Xiao Su was shocked. He didn't know what kind of mental journey the seven-year-old Rong Rui went through to ask such a heartbreaking question.

This child has been able to distinguish between black and white since he was a child, and he is too smart.

Xiao Su poured wine for Rong Sihuan, touched him, and drank it down.Rong Sihuan asked with concern: "Is it all right if you drink like this?"

Xiao Su shook his head, filled two cups, and gave Rong Sihuan a chopstick to mix with toon sprouts.Rong Sihuan knocked on the table as usual to express his gratitude, and continued: "Since when did we father and son stop dealing with each other. He was still young at the beginning, so he was a hypocrite to me, and he can take care of me in face, wait 14 He was enrolled in the special training class of the Public Security University at the age of [-], completely out of my control, and he didn't even call him 'Dad', and he basically didn't see me face to face every year except to visit his mother's grave."

Xiao Su didn't know how to comfort him anymore, so he could only continue to serve him and try to make up for it.

"It's been so many years. The first time he gave me an annual gift was because of you. The first time he sat at the same table with me for dinner. It was also for you. The first time he took the money I saved for him was for you. Rong Sihuan ate two mouthfuls of food, drank half a glass of wine, and sighed, "It would be a lie to say that I don't feel unhappy at all. What kind of father doesn't want his son to find a serious girl, get married and have children, and He grows old with beauty and beauty? But... But I know my son, Rongrui has no mother since he was a child, he has always longed for someone who can be like his mother, who is smart, proud, and gentle... Teacher Xiao, your appearance , it’s like materializing his dreams, and nothing is less than perfect except gender.”

Xiao Su was speechless, and Rong Sihuan sighed, and said: "Actually, he hesitated at the beginning. During the few months when he returned to China to recuperate in May last year, he kept investigating you. Selfishness. At that time, he had a lot of ideological struggles. Even their grandsons could see it, and secretly told me that Rongrui might have some emotional problems. But you also understand the relationship between our father and son. Am I in a hurry? He didn't even dare to ask about the method. Later, when he resumed work, he ran to Jingchuan and stayed there for a few months. He didn't even come back on New Year's Eve, so I knew...he had made up his mind."

This was the first time Xiao Su heard Rong Rui's feelings for him from a third party, and he couldn't tell what it was like, it was sour and sweet.

"You and his mother are the same kind of people." Rong Sihuan clinked a glass of wine with him, and continued, "Even the majors are so close, it's probably the so-called fate. Rongrui likes you, so I'm very relieved Yes, you are a very outstanding young man, I am very satisfied in every aspect, even though there were some... some unacceptable problems at the beginning, but after playing games with you for so long, after seeing Rongrui following you, you are so big Change, I am also relieved."

He smiled bitterly: "No one is perfect. There are so many perfect loves in the world. You can rely on each other, comfort each other, and fulfill each other. I am already satisfied."

Holding the wine glass, Xiao Su whispered, "Thank you, Uncle Rong."

"Call Dad." Rong Sihuan said, "If you called, I guess he would be too embarrassed to stop calling."

Xiao Su poured wine into the two empty glasses, raised his glasses, and called out, "Dad."

"Hey!" Rong Sihuan clinked glasses with him and drank it down in one gulp.

When they met for the first time, they were unexpectedly harmonious. The two of them drank half a catty of wine and were a little excited. While eating and chatting, Xiao Su talked about his family, parents, sister, and former uncle who didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Finally, he also talked about his illness.

In fact, he seldom talked about his illness with others, but today he explained to Rong Sihuan in detail, because he knew what Rong Sihuan couldn't accept the most. Since he accepted what others couldn't accept, he should also Be calm.

After Rong Sihuan finished listening, she didn't ask any more questions, but asked him to cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and send herself a medical record by the way, so that she could ask a few experts and professors later on.

After rambling on for over an hour, two bottles of baijiu were opened, Rong Sihuan's tongue grew big after drinking, and he almost hugged Xiao Su and called him buddy.Fortunately, Xiao Su had a lot of alcohol, so he managed to hold on, and there was no embarrassing scene between them and their son-in-law calling them brothers and sisters.

At 02:30, Rong Sihuan was almost done drinking, and suddenly remembered something, pulled Xiao Su and said, "By the way, there are a few things I have to give to you, your mother left early, these things should be given by mother-in-law to daughter-in-law I have to give it to my family.”

Xiao Su also drank too much, but he usually doesn't drink too much, but everything slows down, like 0.5 times the speed.After hearing this, he felt that something was wrong, and it took him a long time to retort: ​​"Dad, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's not mother-in-law, it's mother-in-law!"

"Oh, your mother-in-law, your mother-in-law left early..." Rong Sihuan changed her words, but after thinking about it, there was something wrong, so she changed it back, "No, it's still mother-in-law... Hey! What a mess, call me mom!"

"Yes, Mom."

"You call me a fucking bastard...I'm your father!" Rong Sihuan hurriedly opened the travel bag, took out a small black velvet box and handed it to Xiao Su, "This is from our Rong family. It’s the fifth generation here, so you should keep it well and wear it next to your body.”

It took Xiao Su a half a beat to realize that this was a family heirloom, and he was very worried for a while that it was something like a bracelet and earrings. He was relieved when he opened the box and saw a pure gold round coin with square holes.

"The pines and cypresses are evergreen, and the blessings will last forever." Xiao Su picked up the gold coin, and saw four small characters cast on both sides, which meant very auspicious and auspicious, and he fell in love with it first.Rong Sihuan said: "This coin was cast by my ancestors in the Qing Dynasty, and there are dozens of coins in a set. Later, the war broke out and the family was separated, so there are only a few left."

Xiao Su slowly put the money around his neck and said, "Thank you Dad."

Rong Sihuan waved his hand, and took out a large flat box from the bag: "This one was left by your mother. She is devoted to academics, doesn't like to dress up, and doesn't have any jewelry. She just likes to make up stories to coax her." After the child... passed away, this is the only thing left."

He put the box on his knees, rubbed it back and forth, couldn't put it down, sighed for a long time, and handed it to Xiao Su: "This is Rong Rui's favorite when I was a child. These years, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, so I took it out to have a look... Now, it's time for you."

Xiao Su took the box, but Rong Sihuan didn't let go, paused for a moment, then let go of it cruelly, saying: "Be sure to keep it well."

Xiao Su nodded and put the box into his bag.

After handing over, the father and father tacitly picked up the wine glass and touched it. After it was done, Rong Sihuan was holding the wine bottle and wanted to pour it. He didn't move it when he took it. When he looked up, he saw his son standing by the table with an angry face, his right hand steady. Hold the bottle firmly: "Are you kidding me?"

Rong Sihuan was startled by him, and hiccupped hugely.Xiao Su paused for a while before realizing that Rong Rui had arrived, and waved his hand at him: "Okay, talk to Dad... Are you hungry?"

Rong Rui waited for a whole noon, he was full of gas, he shook the two wine bottles, not a single drop was left, and called to Rong Sihuan: "Who told you to drink so much? How old are you? I don't know how old I am? "

Rong Sihuan laughed, Xiao Su followed suit, laughed for a while and thought of defending his father-in-law, he patted his chest and said: "I drink it all, don't worry!"

"..." Rong Rui was so angry that he would rather be drunk by his own father!

"Don't drink anymore, brother, come home with me!" Rong Rui came to help Xiao Su, and then said to Rong Sihuan: "Hurry up and go back to the hotel to sleep and sober up!"

Xiao Su stood up calmly, pushed Rong Rui away, and stretched out his hand to help Rong Sihuan: "I, I will take you back to the hotel...to rest...We will, in the evening, continue to drink..."

Rong Sihuan took his hand and stood up, hooking his shoulders with him with great joy: "Okay, you send me off...you are better than him, he only thinks about his wife and forgets me as a father...Okay! Okay Brother! Enough buddy!"

Rong Rui has one head and two big ones, and his face is covered with black lines that he can hardly draw.Xiao Su and Rong Sihuan patted each other's shoulders for a long time, and slowly came to their senses: "Dad, you are an elder, why are you talking about seniority?"

"That's right!" Rong Sihuan also became wise, slapped her thigh, and said, "Aren't you his wife?"

Rong Rui got goosebumps all over his body from this weird chat, and forcibly separated the two. After hesitating for a long time, he dragged Rong Sihuan out first, called a manager in the lobby to look at Xiao Su, and sent the drunken Dad goes to the hotel.

When he came back 10 minutes later, Xiao Su was still sitting on the chair in a daze, throwing peanuts into his mouth every now and then, until his collar was full.

"..." Rong Rui was speechless, but seeing his quiet and obedient appearance, he thought it was very good-looking. He opened his collar and took out a peanut for him. A familiar coin.

"Evergreen pines and cypresses, blessings will last forever." Rong Rui murmured, and smiled, knowing that his father had completely accepted Xiao Su, and his slight worries disappeared in an instant.
