Cao Zhonghe put down his chopsticks, and his middle finger hit the table regularly with the melody, and Cao Zhengxuan also noticed that his father's Erlang legs also rose and fell with the melody.

From this, it can be seen that Cao Zhonghe is a person with a strong sense of music, although he has never studied music.

By the end of the hum, Cao Zhonghe's eyes were completely moist.

"Xiuhua sings very affectionately and very sweetly," Cao Zhonghe continued, "and the lyrics of this song express a woman's longing for the man she loves deeply, so I was completely moved." For the first time, I had the audacity to hold Xiuhua's face and kiss Xiuhua. What a beautiful moment it was, the sound of the river flowing, the sound of insects chirping in the grass, it was so soft, so sweet, I really felt like the happiest man in the world.

Zhengxuan, you are also an adult now, so my father told you without concealing it at all, Xiuhua was very cooperative at that time, she seemed to have thought about dedicating it to me that night, but I retreated at a critical time, I was afraid that unmarried pregnancy would bring a lot of trouble to Xiuhua, because at that time I cared about these things very much, and I would be poked in the backbone for a lifetime, and at that time, both of our parents had not met to talk about our marriage. The essence is that I love Xiuhua too much. I can't bear to let her bear a little bit of grievance, and I don't want her life to be a little stained. ”

"Dad, you're doing the right thing. To love someone is to do everything possible to think about that person. Cao Zhengxuan said.

"Wrong, son, wrong!" Cao Zhonghe took a big sip of wine from his glass, "Our father and son both made the same mistake at a critical time! Cao Zhonghe was emotional, "Do you know, Zhengxuan, Xiuhua was the one who eloped with the person who played cotton during the time I was out of the house!"

"Ah, how can there be such a thing?" Cao Zhengxuan was stunned, but when he turned to think about his own affairs, he immediately shut up.

"I can't even dream of it, to know how much I miss Xiuhua in the ten days I was outside, and I feel that my soul has fallen at home without a little peace. ”

"I can't give up!"

"Yes, yes, it's just that the soul can't give up. Xiuhua's eyes and smiles, words and deeds flashed in my mind, especially her shy closed eyes and stupid expression in the moonlight, which made me fascinated. I learned "The River Flows" and sang it several times a day, sometimes so loudly that the people I went out with scolded me for being crazy. I survived the time I went out and finally returned to Yangjiang. Walking on the old streets of Yangjiang, thinking that I was about to see Xiuhua, my heart was going to beat out of my chest. I decided to ask Xiuhua out again this night and let me sing "Little River Flowing Water" for her: the moon comes out to shine on the half-slope, shines on the half-slope, and when I see the moon and think of my brother, a gust of wind blows uphill, blows uphill, brother, brother, brother, do you hear my sister call my brother......"

Cao Zhonghe was so deep in love that he sang quietly.

Cao Zhengxuan, who was sitting opposite, was so infatuated that his father was so infatuated! Cao Zhengxuan suddenly remembered a sentence in Zhang Dai's "Watching the Snow in the Lake Pavilion": "Don't say that you are stupid, but even more infatuated with each other." How can this sentence not describe his father and son at this moment? He understands more and more why his father is decadent to the point of wandering after being emotionally frustrated!

"As a result, Zhengxuan," Cao Zhonghe burst into tears, "but when I got home, I heard the news that Xiuhua eloped with the person who played cotton." I was completely confused. I simply don't believe this is true. I stumbled to Xiuhua's house, lying on the bed**, Xiuhua's parents who were sitting in front of the stove smoking a cigarette confirmed all this! I felt, I really felt a buzzing sound in my head, and I froze in place for a full minute or two. When Xiuhua's father woke me up, I turned around and rushed out of his house......"

"Son," Cao Zhonghe continued, taking a sip of wine, "and that's where my vulnerability comes in. Because I can't take the blow at all. I ran aimlessly on the old streets of Yangjiang, I don't know when I ran out of the city, I don't know how many days I ran to Hengyi County, I don't know what I eat when I'm hungry, I don't know what I drink when I'm thirsty, in short, when I am conscious, those children and bastards on the street call me a homeless man. I am also happy to accept this title, and I am willing to be this kind of homeless man who has no pain and no desire until I meet you. ”

"Until you run into me?" Cao Zhengxuan asked rhetorically.

"Oh, that's wrong, until you run into your mother. It's your mother. Cao Zhonghe awkwardly picked up the wine glass, "Hey, why is the wine gone?" Zhengxuan, pour a little more for Dad. ”

"Good. But it must not be too much. Cao Zhengxuan picked up the wine bottle. At this time, Cao Zhengxuan's heart was actually clear, but he didn't plan to reveal his father's cover-up.

Another turning point in the father's fate is really to touch himself, and he is still a baby!

Cao Zhonghe let out a long sigh, "Zhengxuan, many years later, no, no, it should be after your mother ran away, I completely figured it out." Everyone lives their own life, and everyone has the right to pursue their own life. Like your mother, it is also her right to leave our father and son because she could not bear the poverty of being with me. Because of this, your mother's abandonment of us did not hit me very hard. I also thought that if Xiuhua didn't elope with the person who played cotton, but married me, when she couldn't stand my poverty and whiteness, would she choose to leave me? Love always loses to reality, don't you say?"

Cao Zhengxuan nodded silently.

"So, since Yutong has chosen to leave you and us, this is also her right, and it is her to pursue her own life. Don't be like your dad who can't think about it, who is as fragile as his dad!" Cao Zhonghe stared at his son's face with tears in his eyes.

Cao Zhengxuan's heart was sour, "Dad, don't worry, my son is strong." Don't you say it, son, I'm going to marry a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law for you in a minute. ”

"Hmm. This is my son Cao Zhonghe. Come on, let's do it together!" Cao Zhonghe raised his glass.

Cao Zhengxuan then picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with his father, craned his neck, and drank the wine in the cup and salty tears.

......

put away the dishes and chopsticks with his father, helped his father into his bedroom, and Cao Zhengxuan went to the bathroom to wash. After staring at the mirror in a daze for a moment, Cao Zhengxuan entered the bedroom, the newly decorated wedding room.

On the wall, the beautiful proprietress of the photo studio elaborately designed the wedding photos for him and Zhang Yutong became a kind of irony.

In the wedding photos, Cao Zhengxuan and Zhang Yutong are infatuated with each other, and the distance between the two faces is only one centimeter. Zhang Yutong closed his eyes happily, while Cao Zhengxuan stared at Zhang Yutong tenderly.
