sent Zhou Bing home, and Guo Yang took a taxi home. By the time he got home, it was past ten o'clock. Although the lights at home are on, her mother Xie Yuzhi is not at home. Guo Yang entered the door and found that his mother was not there, and he was surprised, he suddenly remembered that his mother's fatal car accident was tonight, which was the key factor for Guo Yang to repeatedly tell Xie Yuzhi not to go out at night in the past few days.

He fears that the disaster will happen again. Although he had done everything he could to prevent the tragedy from happening, and his mother agreed not to go to cram school part-time, she ......

For a while, Guo Yang's heart sank to the bottom, his face became extremely pale, the corners of his mouth were trembling, he rushed out of the door like crazy, ran all the way out of the community, and ran wildly to the Dongfeng intersection where Xie Yuzhi had a car accident.

The intersection of Dongfeng Road was silent, the traffic flow in the night was calm as usual, and there were a few old men and old ladies dancing the popular elderly disco in the small garden by the roadside with melodious music, and the rhythm of the bouncing rhythm made Guo Yang upset.

Guo Yang was anxious and paced back and forth on the sidewalk at the intersection.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, I didn't see my mother. He took out his mobile phone uneasily and dialed the landline number at home, but no one answered for a long time, and he was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Hey, who's that?"

Finally, the soft and calm voice of his mother Xie Yuzhi came from there, Guo Yang was relieved, and tears welled up in his eyes instantly.

He didn't speak, shoved his phone into his pocket, and ran home again.

Xie Yuzhi just went out to buy a small bag of rice at the grocery store at the entrance of the community, and when she met an acquaintance on the way, she said a few more words. As soon as I got home, I answered a phone call that no one answered for some reason, and I frowned before I locked the phone to death.

Seeing his son sweating profusely and panting when he entered the door, Xie Yuzhi couldn't help but be surprised: "Yangyang, what's wrong with you? Look at this stinky sweat!"

Guo Yang took a deep breath and forcibly held back the tears that wanted to burst out of his eyes, "I went for a run—Mom, I'm going to take a shower!"

Guo Yang turned around and changed his slippers and walked towards the bathroom. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that his mother was about to stop talking, so he stopped and looked back at his mother.

"Yangyang, do you have time next Sunday? I have a relative's family for a happy event, I want to take you over to participate. Xie Yuzhi's eyebrows flashed with a hint of inadvertent complexity.

Guo Yang frowned: "Relatives, Mom, where are the relatives?"

In Guo Yang's memory, the mother and son have relied on each other for many years, and almost never have relatives to communicate. On his mother's side, his grandparents are no longer alive, and Guo Yang only vaguely knows that his mother has an older brother and a younger sister, both of whom are in the city, an ordinary working family. Why his mother didn't associate with his mother's relatives, he didn't know the inside story. Anyway, in the most difficult moment for the mother, the mother did not ask her relatives for help.

As for his father, Guo Yang has not asked his mother since he was sensible. He has been extremely precocious since he was a child, and he knows that his father seems to be the biggest hidden pain in his mother's life, and since his mother has always avoided it, he does not dare to easily pierce this thin layer of window paper.

Guo Yang knew that if his mother wanted to say it, she would say it sooner or later, and if his mother didn't want to say it, he would only increase his sadness and trauma if he asked, so why bother?

Xie Yuzhi's eyes flickered, and Guo Yang could clearly sense the hidden pain surging up in his mother's body. He knew that maybe this very night, his mother was going to tell him the truth.

Xie Yuzhi took a deep breath, and her voice trembled slightly: "Yangyang, you sit down, my mother will tell you something." ”

Guo Yang sat quietly on the sofa.

"Yangyang, you are a sensible child, you have never asked about your father......" Xie Yuzhi sighed lightly: "Mom will tell you all about your father today, you have grown up, I can't hide it from you anymore!"

Guo Yang was still silent.

"I met your father when I went to the countryside in the mountains, and he was a barefoot doctor in Xiangyang Village in the suburbs...... I married your father, and at that time your grandfather was so angry that he fell seriously ill and swore not to recognize me as a daughter......" Xie Yuzhi fell into a melancholy memory of the past, and her words were also intermittent, but from her fragmented narration, she also sketched a tragic picture of the love and union of a female intellectual, a female intellectual, and a rural farmer in the countryside in that chaotic, turbulent and passionate years.

Xie Yuzhi's family background is average, but he is from the city. The educated youth who went to the countryside to join the queue will one day return to the city, but Xie Yuzhi fell in love with a clay leg, how could the Xie family and his wife stand it? After repeated dissuasion, they did not listen, so they cut off contact with Xie Yuzhi.

Guo Yang was just one year old after giving birth, that is, in the summer of 1977, Xie Yuzhi waited for the opportunity to return to the city. The hard life in the countryside is naturally tiresome compared to the glitz and glamour of the city. Xie Yuzhi did not escape the nest route of most educated youths returning to the city, and she discussed returning to the city with her husband, but was strongly opposed by Dr. Guo's barefoot.

The couple fell out because of this, and Xie Yuzhi insisted on returning to the city with her son. She originally thought that after she returned to the city, she would slowly ease her relationship with her husband, and then find a way to bring her husband to the city and reunite the family.

However, Dr. Guo's barefoot determination was beyond her imagination, and less than two months after she left Xiangyang Village, he unilaterally and resolutely filed for divorce, and then married a new love in the shortest possible time, and soon had a daughter of his own.

Xie Yuzhi was heartbroken, and since then she has raised her son alone, and has never contacted Guo Yang's father again, nor has she set foot in Xiangyang Village for half a step.

Xie Yuzhi burst into tears, and she finally said in a trembling voice: "Yangyang, your father's name is Guo Zhengmin, and you died of cancer when you were in college...... It's all Mom's fault, Mom shouldn't be so selfish and narrow-minded and didn't let you see your dad. ”

Guo Yang actually didn't have any concept of his father, he actually guessed that his father was no longer alive. It's just that he didn't expect that the grievances and entanglements between his parents were far more complicated and tragic than he imagined. He knows that his mother is a submissive and very kind woman, and the reason why his mother has not mentioned half a word about his father for so many years undoubtedly shows that Guo Zhengmin has done too much ruthless and excessive.

"Mom, you didn't do anything wrong, you didn't do anything wrong, I never blamed you. Guo Yang was full of emotion, his eyes were red, and he held his mother's hand tightly, "Mom, it's all over, we won't mention these sad things in the future." As for my father, he never did the slightest bit of his duty as a father to me, and in my heart, he was already dead. ”

Xie Yuzhi came from sorrow and cried loudly.

In fact, for so many years, Guo Zhengmin has never visited Guo Yang's son in the city, even if the Guo family later made a fortune and became a well-known "10,000 yuan household", Guo Zhengmin has no affection for this son in the city.

Guo Yang didn't persuade his mother again, he knew that once his mother's grief for so many years was vented, she must be let vent enough, otherwise she would get sick if she held it in her heart.

After a long time, Xie Yuzhi choked up and said: "Your father's other daughter, that is, your sister, is engaged next Sunday, she and her mother asked someone to bring a letter, hoping that your mother can take you to the engagement wedding, if you can find time, your mother will take you back to Xiangyang Village, and by the way, you will also give your father a grave." ”
