Chapter 54: Coming Home Like the Wind
The day after saying goodbye to Yanzi, Rufeng booked a plane ticket and rushed back to another city to his home. Since graduation, he rarely goes back, for the unwillingness to love in his heart, and also to avoid the persecution and responsibility of his family.
The Liu family is the leader of the local jade industry, a commercial family, passed down from generation to generation, and all of them are passed down in one line, so as soon as Rufeng is born, it means that he cannot get rid of the fate - inheriting the family business and continuing the next generation. At that time, he chose Chinese when filling in the volunteer application with youthful stubbornness, which had already broken his father's brain, and if you look at the career goals of future business, these are two completely unrelated things. What's even more outrageous is that Rufeng also fell in love with a girl from a poor family, which is also contrary to this from the perspective of Rufeng's future development. Therefore, later, without his consent, his father helped him secretly pick out the other half of the future, and painstakingly arranged various arrangements, but he was always ruthless, but he didn't know that Rufeng's heart was no longer in him at all, how could he see other wonderful scenery. Later, Rufeng, who was overwhelmed, simply said goodbye secretly without saying goodbye, and came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, making his parents half angry.
When Rufeng walked out of the airport and re-stepped on this land that he had been familiar with since childhood, he had mixed feelings in his heart, although it had been many years, there was still an invisible pressure. He shrugged his shoulders, closed his eyes and looked up at the sky and took a deep breath, slowly feeling the smell of various plants and buildings around him that had not been seen for a long time, calming all kinds of complicated emotions in the thoughts that his memories kept rolling, and telling himself over and over again that he must come back from this trip in a steady and mellow manner. Then, he opened his eyes, took out his mobile phone firmly and calmly, and told his mother that he had arrived home.
Rufeng's home is in a secluded single-family villa area, the community is very quiet, there is relatively little traffic and traffic, and the security is very tight. The house is a three-storey cyan Chinese-style building with an independent courtyard, surrounded by a cyan wall, entering from the vermilion gate, is a small pond, in the middle is an artificial rockery, the water is full of lotus flowers, lotus leaves are verdant, and there are brightly colored tropical fish, and you can see a piece of orange and red in the pond water from a distance. Behind the small building is a large garden, in which only one kind of flower is planted - roses, and there are many varieties, and most of them are mainly red, it is said that Rufeng's father specially invited someone to create for his mother, which shows that the two couples have a deep relationship. The upper and lower floors of the small building are all decorated with antique wood and jade, and the fine products are gathered, just like a jade museum. Because there are not many people in Rufeng's family, except for his parents, there are two service aunts, so Rufeng occupies the entire floor of the third floor, and a large study and a fitness area are set up according to his preferences. In addition, the roof of the entire small building is also unique, with an open-air swimming pool and a relaxation area above, and the most eye-catching thing is the musical instruments on display.
originally thought that Rufeng, who had an iron will, at this moment, the moment he saw his home, his nose was sore, and he wanted to shed tears a little. He stood outside the door, hesitating whether to ring the doorbell, the door had already opened, and the first person who came out was his mother, who was wearing a cyan Chinese cheongsam, who didn't say anything, and hugged Rufeng when she came over, and then only heard a sobbing sound with infinite joy.
"Mom! my son is not filial!"
"No, like the wind, it's good to come back! Let's go, hurry up and see Dad!"
Rufeng's mother gently wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and then took Rufeng's hand and walked towards the door. At the moment when he turned around, he saw a layer of white hair floating on his mother's sideburns, and he couldn't say a word of what he had thought of to make his parents happy, and suddenly a tear flashed in his heart. In this way, the mother and son entered the yard one after the other, bypassed the pond, and came to the once warm home. In the living room, on the brown solid wood bench, Rufeng's father, dressed in a dark blue Chinese short suit, was sitting with his eyes closed, holding two emerald green pixiu in his hands, constantly flipping in the palm of his hand.
"Nanzhi, look at my son's back. ”
Rufeng's father's name is Liu Nanzhi, who is a very calm and old-fashioned person, who has worked hard in the shopping mall for many years, and it can be said that he has developed a calm heart. From the bottom of his heart, he also misses the only seedling in the family very much, and the moment he heard his wife Ou Huiming mention his son, he was excited and happy. But as a father's majesty, he still has to maintain, he has already thought about it, he must give Rufeng a dismount, he must let him know that his behavior is wrong, and he can't come and go freely in the future, as a man, he must be responsible, so when Rufeng followed in, he still maintained the same posture.
Rufeng has always been in awe of his father, and he hasn't seen him for many years, seeing this scene, he lowered his head and apologized, "Dad, I'm back." I didn't say goodbye at the beginning, it was my son's fault, I was ignorant, please forgive me. When I come back this time, I will wait for you to punish me, and I will obey everything in the future. This was originally a rhetoric that Rufeng had thought of on the road, to pass away the embarrassment of coming back suddenly, but at this moment he really came from the heart.
Family affection is the most difficult emotion in the world, no matter what is big, time can make up for the trauma. Although the father in front of him once disagreed with his love and arranged a lot of things for himself that he couldn't accept, the older he gets, the more he finds that his method is really wrong and he acts too strongly, but the original intention is good, and from beginning to end, he also hopes that he will have enough resources and backing in the actual management of the inheritance family business in the future. If he hadn't met someone he liked, maybe he would have said yes. But God just took the first step to arrange another fate for him, and he could only obey his heart and disobey his parents' kindness.
Liu Nanyi heard that his son took the lead in softening, and the harsh ideas at the beginning almost began to waver, the power of father's love made him feel sour for a while, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the son who had been held in the palm of his hand for several years, and couldn't help but sigh at the ruthlessness of time, not only took away his youth, but even the son in front of him has been urging more than thirty spring and autumn. Although Gratifying is no longer as young and frivolous as before, rebellious and loves to pursue freedom, but I have to lament the lost parent-child time. "It's good if you know it's wrong, see if you have a good attitude, I won't pursue it much, but a person must pay some price for his irresponsible behavior, and he must accept punishment. "Liu Nanzhi's biggest characteristic is that he is calm and resolute when dealing with problems, although he is in love, he still does not forget to teach Rufeng a small lesson.
Rufeng did not refute, nodded again and again and said "yes", and the sincerity of his attitude was unprecedented.
Liu Nanzhi was suddenly a little unaccustomed, you must know that the previous Rufeng loved to be tough in everything, arguing, the two of them often held a debate at home, of course, the final outcome will end with the toughness of his father's respect, and Rufeng often sticks out his tongue and grimaces to resist. Now that Rufeng suddenly became well-behaved, Liu Nanzhi felt that something was missing, and he felt a little lost in his heart. He secretly guessed that Rufeng must have encountered a lot of things and suffered a lot outside, so he would have narrowed his edges and corners and become a lot more mellow and peaceful. Although there is less fun, it is a good thing, after all, people have to be mature, and there must be enough city government in the shopping mall to deal with all kinds of complex situations and be invincible. In this way, his emotions alternate back and forth between loss and relief, which can be regarded as a helpless dual mentality of a father.
"Nanzhi, there is no need for punishment, Rufeng has returned, I haven't seen my son for so many years, don't you want him?" Ou Huiming is a gentle and loving mother, she was born in a scholarly family, well-read, and most of the books in the family were accumulated by her. Rufeng read poetry with her mother since she was a child, so she was very talented in language since she was a child, and later applied for Chinese under the influence of her mother. Liu Nanyi has always had great respect for his beloved wife, and only this one thing he has lamented and complained. Ben hoped that Rufeng would study economics and come back to become his right-hand man. To say that the two have been married for decades now, they have had disputes over this matter. After all, Liu Nanzhi is a person who knows right from wrong, he is not confused, and later apologized deeply for his complaining behavior, and this matter is over.
"These are two different things, feelings belong to feelings, and if you do something wrong, you must be punished, especially men. If I said that I had arranged a partner for you privately and put pressure on you because I mishandled it, but saying goodbye was a great disrespect to my parents. We only have one son, you, do you want to give up us for personal feelings? Have you never thought about how we will feel if you leave like this and not come back for a few years? We have held you in the palm of our hands since we were children, how can you make us feel embarrassed?"
"Dad, don't say it, it's all because I'm young and ignorant, and I haven't taken into account your feelings, if you want to punish you, I can accept anything. ”
"Nanzhi, do you really want to be punished? My son just came back, can I do it later?" Ou Huiming felt sorry for his son, and he was going to be punished just after they met. She knew that her husband was strict, and there was always a ruler at home, which was specially placed in the study as a family law, and if she made a mistake when the wind was small, she would be beaten. Every time, the "popping" ring ruler hit Rufeng's body, as if it was pulled on her heart, she almost didn't dare to look at it, and even hid in the room to cover her ears.
"Must!" Liu Nanzhi spit out these two words that could be described as loud and irrefutable, and then he turned around and said in a heavy and serious tone, "Take the family law." ”
