The man smiled embarrassedly, "Hmm." She believed. ”

The woman followed, saying, "We never lie in front of our daughters." Just this once, of course she would believe it. ”

Midsummer's heart hurts inexplicably. Thinking that they have come so many times and have not had the opportunity to meet their daughter, more or less, it is still a little regrettable.

There are also the banquet family and the Sheng family, but they pin all their hopes on him. How could he give up.

He smiled slightly, "Auntie, Uncle Chen, if you mentioned me to your daughter, would she be willing to help with this?"

own daughters, they must know the roots.

It was because they knew that their daughter would help when they learned about it, so they didn't dare to mention him or tell the truth.

Midsummer's question really stumped them.

He saw that their expressions were very complicated, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Just as he was about to go outside, the woman spoke.

"I'll tell you the truth, my daughter will help you. We are afraid that she will help you, so we don't dare to take this risk. ”

Hearing this, Midsummer first felt a surprise in his heart, and then his heart was like a knife-like pain.

The affection of relatives in this world is the love between parents and children, brothers and sisters. Belch. Parents and children cannot recognize each other, and siblings cannot recognize each other. What an ordeal that would be!

Midsummer didn't want to listen to it anymore and walked straight out the door.

The man and the woman followed him out.

They saw that Midsummer did not look back, thinking that he was angry. Thinking about the New Year, it's really not good.

Then the woman shouted at him again, "Go slowly, be careful on the road." ”

Midsummer turned her head, waved at them, and strode away.

The man and the woman stood in the doorway for a long time before they entered the house. Both of them felt uncomfortable.

The woman looked at the New Year's gifts sent by Midsummer on the table, and thought about it again, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Maybe my daughter will come home again.

"I need to call Wange quickly and tell her not to come home tomorrow. ”

The man was helpless. "She has to come back, and you can't do anything about her. ”

……

Midsummer walked to the car, and he was not in a hurry to get into the car. Instead, he stood next to the car and paused, quietly looking in the direction of the Chen family.

He's been here several times, and each time he feels different. Only this time, he was also in the same complicated mood as the second elder of the Chen family.

It was a long time before he got into the car, and when he started it, he couldn't tell how nostalgic he was for the place.

Then he drove back to the village in the countryside. It is also the place where he came to experience life back then.

At the entrance of the village, he parked the car on the side of the road, and after getting out of the car, he walked along the village road.

He walked all the way to the courtyard of Granny Wen's house, and saw that everything that was once familiar had now become a desolate place.

The house is dilapidated and no one has renovated it anymore. It's overgrown with weeds. Even the trails that used to be walked were overgrown with weeds and trees.

He walked towards the east side of the courtyard, looking at the old summer solstice peach tree, it had been some years, no one had taken care of it, there were traces of insects on the trunk, and the peach gum had overflowed and condensed into a clump.

His heart ached. However, he has the heart, but he has no power to protect it. The feeling of being overwhelmed was so uncomfortable.

He turned back to the door of Granny Wen's house, and he didn't know how her old man was doing now?

That's when he understood not to make any promises lightly. There is also a sense of guilt when promises are not kept.

He really didn't want to worry too much, so he hurried back to the entrance of the village and drove back.

When he returned to the city, he had wanted to go to the hospital to find a doctor. After thinking about it, there are still parents at home waiting for news from him.

And just like that, he went straight home.

Sheng's father and Sheng's mother thought that it was the time of the Chinese New Year, and he should have something to gain when he went to that town today. However, when they saw Midsummer's gloomy face, they seemed to understand everything.

Even so, Sheng's mother asked him carefully, "You didn't see that family today?"

"I've seen it. ”

Mother Sheng's heart tightened, and she couldn't tell how sad she was. "So, they still haven't agreed?"

Dad Sheng saw that Midsummer didn't mean to reply, so he asked, "Their attitude is very bad?"

"Nope. Midsummer shook her head, "Today they are very enthusiastic. ”

This time it was Sheng's father and Sheng's mother dumbfounded, it stands to reason that since people have enthusiasm, there should be progress, right.

Sheng Ma asked, "What's the situation today?" ”

Midsummer sighed slightly, "Alas...... There is an important issue that we have all overlooked before. If it hadn't been for that family, I'm afraid we wouldn't have considered it all along. ”

"What's the problem?" Dad Sheng asked with a serious face.

Sheng Xia smiled bitterly, "I went to the Chen family today, I just knocked on the door, and the woman opened the door, although she didn't want to see me, maybe because it was the New Year, she didn't drive me away, and poured me a cup of tea." Then I asked about her daughter, and she told me very clearly that they were left with only one healthy daughter and did not dare to take any risks......"

"What's only a healthy daughter left?" Sheng Ma couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, interrupting Midsummer's words.

Father Sheng nodded, "How can you talk like this? Yufei is also her biological daughter!"

As a mother, Sheng Ma thinks that their Chen family should not talk like this. "I only care about having children, and I don't have any sense of responsibility at all. ”

Father Sheng smiled helplessly, "The situation is different. They are in the countryside, and the patriarchal mentality is particularly serious. Otherwise, they wouldn't have given Yu Fei away. ”

Sheng Ma didn't fully agree with him. "In my opinion, their thinking is called selfishness. In the past, when I gave birth to a daughter, I wanted to give it away. But they did not give birth to a son, and they expected their daughter to feed them. Now they only have one daughter, and they are afraid that after losing their daughter, they will have no support. It's just so selfish. ”

Midsummer wasn't as excited as his parents. He smiled faintly, "This is normal." They say that their daughter is the only support for the family, and it is also their hope and reason to live. They were right. They are in the countryside, they have no more financial security, and when they are old, of course, they have to rely on their children to support them. ”

Sheng Ma looked indignant. "Even so. The children they gave birth to themselves should always have a little affection. Although Yu Fei gave it away, in the final analysis, they are still Yu Fei's biological parents, so they can't be ignored. ”

Dad Sheng seemed a little irritable.

Midsummer doesn't want his parents to bother, he is very confident, believing that as long as he has the opportunity to meet their daughter, there will be a way.

"Mom, Dad, don't worry. They were just afraid of the risks, and they didn't say they didn't want to help at all. ”

Dad Sheng shouted angrily, "Isn't their attitude obvious?

"There will definitely be a turnaround!" said Midsummer to them with confidence on her face. "Mom, Dad, I haven't gone to the hospital to find a doctor yet. After I asked the doctor, the answer came out. ”

Sheng Ma's patience is about to be exhausted. "What can you do to find a doctor?"

Midsummer saw that they hadn't understood what they meant, so they had to be more specific. "Mom, Dad, I mean, go to the hospital and ask the doctor to see if the person who provided the match is at risk. ”

Sheng's father and Sheng's mother finally suddenly realized that they finally understood.

Sheng Ma's face showed a smile again.

Dad Sheng also shouted happily: "Yes! This is a good way! There is hope, there is hope!"

Aunt Xiao knew that Midsummer was back, and they didn't eat, so they were still waiting for Midsummer.

She went to the door of the study and asked, "Have you talked about good things?" It's too late, it's time to eat." ”

Sheng Ma shouted again and again: "Okay, okay." It's time to eat. ”

Aunt Xiao went to serve food.

Midsummer and his parents also came out of the study.

The family sat down at the dinner table, and with hope, they all returned to their original state, laughing and began to eat.

After dinner, Midsummer hurried home.

When I got home, as soon as I walked to the door of the living room, Yan Yufei greeted me.

"You didn't get off work so late in the middle of summer?"

Midsummer said "um" and pulled her to sit on the sand, "Baby, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it. What about you?"

"I ate it too. ”

Midsummer looked at her, and then thought about what the woman of the Chen family had said, and the unspeakable heartache.

He really couldn't understand that the Chen family had never thought of saving her daughter.

On second thought, maybe his own mother was right. Human beings are inherently selfish. If you can think about it in the long run, the Chen family will definitely do everything they can to save their daughter like them.

He really couldn't imagine how he, a fool, could bear it after knowing the truth of the matter.

"You go to sleep first. I went to take a shower. Tomorrow for the Lantern Festival, I will go back to your mother's house for dinner at noon, and go back to my house for dinner in the evening. ”

……

Chen.

After the man had dinner with the woman, he was worried about his daughter's coming home tomorrow when his daughter's phone call came in.

The two of them looked at each other, expressing deep helplessness.

When the man saw that the woman was delaying answering the phone, he shouted, "Answer the phone! ”

The woman seemed reluctant to answer the phone. She shouted before her daughter could speak: "I've called and told you, so you don't need to go home tomorrow." You just don't listen. ”

The daughter's laughter came, "Mom, tomorrow's Lantern Festival, you and my dad are at home, can I not come back?"

"Don't go back, don't go back, just one day, you take the train back and forth, tired and spend money, it's not worth it, it's not worth it, it's not worth it!"

The man also leaned his face over and shouted, "Wange, don't go home tomorrow." Finally, you have to take your children out for a walk and let them see each other for a long time. ”

The daughter was also over there shouting, "Okay, okay, I don't want you to talk about it." I need to go to bed early and wake up early tomorrow. ”

After saying that, the daughter hung up the phone.

The two old men looked at each other again, and they both looked at each other with complaining eyes.

The man yelled, "Why didn't you tell her that we were going out tomorrow?"

The woman pushed back in the same way. "Tomorrow's Lantern Festival, where are you going to go out? No brain, do you think Wange will believe this!"
