Chapter 32: The Truth 2
Tang Guoan looked at Nandong like this, and felt very uncomfortable. Although he has nothing left now, only Xiaoyue is left. However, if he didn't tell Yueyue the truth, the two of them would never be together for the rest of their lives. Nandong, this child, must have considered him as a father, so he didn't say anything to Tang Yue. Alas, it's a bad kid. That's it, that's it, I can't be so selfish anymore, Tang Yue is so old, she has the right to know her life experience, and she should let her know.
Wang Weiguo looked at the old neighbor's slowly determined eyes, knowing that he had made a decision. He knows about Tang Yue's life experience, he is both sympathetic and admiring for his lifelong old friend, and he has been thinking about others all his life, just ask himself, he definitely can't be so selfless.
Tang Guoan waited for Tang Yue to help clean up in the kitchen before he got up and took the two home.
Tang Yue felt that her father seemed to have something on her mind, she didn't speak since she came back from dinner at Uncle Wang's house, just sitting there smoking, she and Nandong were really embarrassed, the three of them seemed to be watching TV, but no one knew what they were acting after watching it for a long time.
"Yueyue, Dad wants to tell you something..."
Tang Guoan finally said with difficulty,
"What's the matter, Dad, you say. ”
Tang Yue said with a puzzled expression,
"Daddy is trying to... Tell me about me and your mother..."
"Dad... You don't..."
Before Tang Yue could react, he heard Nandong shouting anxiously.
"It's alright, kid... Yueyue also has the right to know...."
"Dad, you... What are you talking about?"
Tang Yue felt that his father was hiding something from Nandong.
"Hehe, Yueyue... Daddy wants to tell you a story, a story about Mom and Dad, and a story about you..."
After saying that, Tang Guoan began to recall his painful and sweet past.
Tang Guoan and Tang Yue's mother Xu Zhuyu are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses. Tang Guoan and Xu Zhuyu were at the same table in junior high school, but the male and female classmates of that era were not like now, although they sat at the same table a day, they couldn't say three sentences. At that time, Tang Yue's mother was beautiful, and in today's words, she is a character at the school flower level, and all the boys in the class have a crush on her. However, in the countryside of that era, marriage basically depended on the words of the matchmaker on the orders of the parents, and free love was still relatively rare. Female students at school feel shy to say a word to their male classmates. Tang Guoan was also a member of the army of crushes in the class, and he was very glad that he could sit at the same table with the crush of all the boys in the class, but even then he didn't dare to say anything.
Xu Zhuyu's family is more difficult, her parents are not in good health, her mother needs to take medicine all year round, and the family relies on her father. In that era of people's communization that still needed to earn work, Tang Yue's grandmother's family was more poor than ordinary people, but even so, they did not let Xu Zhuyu go home to work with his father without going to school. It is said that Tang Yue's grandmother didn't look forward to Xu Zhuyu's schooling, but she was worried that the female doll's family would work in the commune, and she was afraid that she would be tired of her body.
Xu Zhuyu didn't start school until she was eleven years old, that was because Tang Yue's grandmother had been in poor health since she gave birth to Xu Zhuyu, and Xu Zhuyu had been taken by her grandmother. But grandma was suddenly gone, and Grandma Tang Yue saw that Xu Zhuyu was sad and sad at home every day, and she didn't go out of the door, so she was afraid that she would get sick, so she let her go to school. Because Xu Zhuyu was too old at that time, he went directly to the third grade.
Xu Zhuyu just started school in the third grade and didn't know anything at all, in the words of Tang Yue's grandmother, every day in class is like listening to a book from heaven. Later, Xu Zhuyu asked her sister next door, who was one year younger than her, pinyin and some simple numbers when she went home every day. In this way, Xu Zhuyu didn't understand anything from the beginning, to the first in the class in the later exam, and then to the first in the school at the end, even the teacher was amazed. Xu Zhuyu not only studied well, but also excelled in other aspects, which can be said to be the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor in that era. When the school was doing recess exercises, Xu Zhuyu drew a board newspaper on the school's bulletin board and wrote notices. In the end, even students from other schools came to see this beautiful girl in the legend.
