Chapter 120: A Few Families Rejoice and a Few Families Sorrow
Although it was late at night, the brightly lit train station was particularly lively, and the turnstiles at the exit pushed the travelers who had finally returned home, hugging their relatives in the local sound.
Kong Yixian saw her mother guarding outside early, and she was excited. Obviously, the separation hasn't lasted long, so it turns out that he will still be moved.
"Mom's ......"
Crossing the turnstile, she hugged Mother Kong for the first time, took out a coquettish tone that did not match her age and style, and kissed her mother on the cheek.
With the help of the light, Mother Kong took a good look at her daughter, "Oh, I'm thin, I'm tired on the road, right?"
"Not tired. Kong Yixian carried her mother to take the car home, glad that the first thing her mother saw was not the scar on her face, "The food in the provincial team is good, I am still fat, and I worked hard to lose weight in order to look better during the New Year, otherwise my relatives will think that I have not trained hard when they see me so fat." β
Mother Kong knew that this was all coaxing her, and she didn't say anything, and the kitchen at home was still hot, for fear that her daughter would be hungry.
Kong Yixian ate two bowls of rice in one go, and then rolled onto the sofa to rest contentedly, "Oh, it's better to go home, eh, Mom, have you bought new clothes this year." β
Mother Kong, who was cleaning up in the kitchen, answered vaguely twice, and came out with a plate of fruit. Kong Yixian was eating while scrolling through the circle of friends, Lu Xin had already gone home, and her smiling face in the selfie was particularly bright.
Seeing that her daughter rarely went home and only cared about playing with her mobile phone, Kong's mother was unhappy, "Eh, tell me, how are you doing in the provincial team." β
Kong Yixian, who was holding an apple slice, thought about it, and only said something nice, and finally was glared at by her mother, and then reluctantly said something that was targeted at first.
"Ah, but not now, that coach is actually quite good, and told me to use mint cream. β
"What mint cream?"
Mother's wit made Kong Yixian silently want to slap herself, it seems that playing too much with children will lower her IQ, and she can't cope with the monkey spirit's mother.
"Ah...... It's just that the fingers are strangled on the bowstring for a long time, and it's uncomfortable, and it's ...... And that's it. β
Mother Kong didn't make a sound, stared at Kong Yixian's expression for a long time, and finally sighed sullenly before getting up and getting ready to sleep, "You are tired for a day, rest early, tomorrow will be thirty, we have to have a good New Year." β
Looking at her mother's slightly sluggish gait, Kong Yixian couldn't help but feel sad. Mom is old, she used to be so hot, and now she is also haggard.
In the end, she sat on the sofa with her knees crossed, took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Chang Yi - I'm home, I should accompany my mother, are you okay, will someone accompany you for the New Year?
In the night of thousands of lights, Chang Yi did not see this text message in time, because he was talking to Chang's mother at this time.
The opposite neighborhood seems to be more lively than usual, even at this point in time, there are still many people pushing suitcases on the street, and even if they don't hug each other warmly, they will happily laugh and laugh when they see relatives and friends.
Looking at such a scene, Chang Yi couldn't say that he wasn't lonely, but even so, he still didn't want to listen to his mother's words.
Chang's mother also just returned from the capital and came back with Chang Dao, and tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, so she called her son.
"Son, this year's New Year ......"
Listening to the gentle and somewhat cautious tone on the phone, Chang Yi exhaled a breath of white air into the air, watching them dissolve into the warmth of the family reunion, "Don't go back." β
Chang's mother was not surprised, but she still wanted to persuade again, "Son, it's the third year, you can't ...... It's been floating outside. Actually, your dad would like you to come back and have a look, it's rare for our family to get togetherβ"
"A family......
Chang Yi smiled sarcastically, he couldn't see his expression clearly in the room where the lights weren't turned on, but the bright lights outside still reflected the tears in his eyes.
"Does he treat me as a family? Mom, I've been forced into this role by him, and I can't even see my girlfriend for the New Year, so what else do you want me to do? I can't fight him, can't I hide? Don't talk about the New Year, I'll never go back. Please remember that I was kicked out of the house by him. β
Both sides were silent for a long time, and then Chang's mother couldn't help but sigh, she could hear that she was sad, but Chang Yi couldn't be willing to face Chang Dao, who separated herself and Yixian, and would rather nest alone in the corner.
In the end, Chang's mother, who couldn't persuade her son, was very cold, and she was even more angry with her husband, and when she saw Chang Dao's big tall man passing by casually, she picked up the pillow at hand and smashed it.
Director Chang has been paying attention to the content of the call since the beginning, and he also knows that his wife is sad and wants to vent, so he can only silently pick up the pillow and put it back, "Why do you want to do this." β
Who knew that Chang's mother, who had always been dignified and graceful, actually got up and slapped her in the face, slapping the serious and majestic Chang Dao dumbfounded. But Chang Dao is a belly, even so, he didn't get angry, but coaxed two sentences, "It's almost the New Year, why do you bother." β
"Why should I?"
Mother Chang's emotions were obviously very excited, pointing to her chest, her jaw couldn't stop trembling, and even her words seemed trembling.
"My son didn't come home for three years, and he didn't see a single person. Can the two of us be happy for the New Year with nothing to rely on? Are you happy to let your son be alone outside?
Lao Chang, it's all your fault, you pushed your son out, I want to know that our son has grown up like this, he shouldn't have given birth to him in the first place! I shouldn't have married you with such a hard heart!"
This is the most important thing she said about their old couple for so many years of marriage. But he still couldn't relieve his anger, so he sat on the sofa alone, covered his face and cried.
Crying and crying during the New Year, anyone feels uncomfortable, but what is even more uncomfortable is the reunion and beauty of other people's families, but their families are shattered.
Director Chang, who caused all this, also blamed himself, sitting next to Chang's mother, a whole head taller than her.
"Okay, my son won't go back, and we can't help it. β
When Chang's mother heard this, she turned her head and glared at him, her eyes were red, and even her usual gentleness was gone. In addition to blame, there was more hatred in that look.
"When your son was young, you let him go and even encouraged his pride, making him a character that no one will see in the future, and after it intensifies, you can't control it, and blame him for being disobedient. He offended others, made enemies everywhere, you didn't stop it in time, and you were framed and ended up in this situation, and you didn't listen to him defend half a sentence!
Obviously, everything was caused by you, why did you scold him again, your son was killed by you all his life, and now you can't do anything about it?
The more she spoke, the more fierce Chang's mother stood up and loudly accused Chang Dao of his mistakes over the years. And Chang Dao, who was scolded by splitting his head and covering his face, did not refute, and even tilted his head slightly to avoid his wife's anger.
In the past two years, such cries and silences have not been repeated once. But nothing can be changed.
Chang's mother was already desperate, and after crying, she didn't say anything anymore. Dragging their feet into the deserted bedroom, although tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, but in the past two years, their family has not had a good New Year.
Even if there are few people, reunion is home, but what kind of reunion is it when even the children are not around?
Just when there was only a long sigh left in the empty villa, Chang's mother's mobile phone lit up again, it was Chang Yi's call, which surprised her.
She hurriedly pressed the answer, suppressed her choking and opened her mouth happily, "Hey son?" But for a long time, she didn't wait for a response.
Just when Chang's mother thought it was just a mistake, Chang Yi sighed softly, "Mom." β
Mother Chang's eyes lit up, and she was a little worried, the ...... just now Why do you think your son is crying?
Chang Yi on the other side of the phone was silent for a long time before he raised his head and said, "I just received a text message, she said that she wanted to accompany her mother well, and asked me...... Are you okay, ask me if I have someone to accompany me for the New Year. β
Chang's mother didn't expect him to say this, but she also knew that this text message was sent by Kong Yixian, so she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Chang Dao in the distance, and retracted her gaze angrily, "She is a good child, and she cares about you more than your father." β
Chang Yi smiled, his nasal voice was a little heavy, "Yes, so...... I'll go back to Hudong tomorrow. Shall we come out for dinner......? And you're alone. β
Because of Yixian, he was willing to make his mother feel better, but more, he couldn't do it and didn't want to do it.
Chang's mother didn't expect her son to be willing to accompany her, so she sniffed happily, "Okay, good, but your dad ......"
I am willing to have a meal with my mother, so I don't want to see my father, I don't want him to go home for one night, since it is the Chinese New Year, is it so difficult for the family to get together at a table.
There was only one sentence that could reply to her, "Mom, it is because Yixian is very filial to her mother that I am willing to meet you." This is the maximum concession I can make, please don't force it again. β
Chang's mother was afraid that he would regret it, so she hurriedly responded, although she was not able to reunite with the family, but she was already very satisfied to see her son, "Okay, okay, Mom is waiting for you, you must come, it's in our hotel, okay at noon?"
Listening to the mother who has always talked well, and the same cautious tone as so many mothers in the world, Chang Yi was also very guilty, agreed, and added, "This is really, I am willing to go back because of Yixian." β
Chang's mother could hear what he meant, and wanted to let herself help persuade the stubborn old man, so that he wouldn't keep stopping the young man's relationship.
In fact, she herself thinks the same way, if it weren't for Yixian, the child, her son might not be willing to let him see each other.
Back then, she was busy with work and couldn't prevent her son from developing a later character, and now, at least she can't let her son's happiness be ruined in the hands of that ruthless old man!
"Okay, son, don't worry, if your father embarrasses you again, I will speak for you even if I fight for a divorce!"
With his mother's words, Chang Yi is more comfortable, and he is even more willing to go to Hudong tomorrow.
"Thank you, Mom, though...... Don't let him know yet, okay? Yixian finally gained a foothold in the provincial team, and there will be a competition in the next year, and I don't want to affect her. β
Chang's mother didn't agree, she responded with everything, and finally felt that this year's Spring Festival was not so miserable.
After a long while, Director Chang came in, and when he saw that his wife's face was finally better, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the side and patted her shoulder gently, "Okay, I'll cook tomorrow, what do you want to eat?"
Chang's mother was lazy about him, and fanned her eyelids before saying that she had something to do when she went out at noon tomorrow, although Director Chang was a little suspicious, she didn't say anything, "That's okay, you go, I'll wait for you to come back in the evening." β
The two of them went to sleep, and neither of them spoke again. It's just that after the people around him fell asleep, Chang Dao was still sitting on the head of the bed, and he flipped out the photo album of his mobile phone in the dead of night.
When I was a child, there were quite a lot, and the older I was, the fewer I few, and some of them were even just taken from the group photo of receiving the award.
Looking at these photos, Director Chang muttered faintly. Yes, Mrs. scolded right, he caused everything, but he still blindly blamed his son.
But he just didn't know how to let his son realize his mistakes, let alone how to get his son back on track. and forcibly broke them up because he was worried that Kong Yixian would be influenced by him, which eventually intensified the conflict between father and son.
But if there was an opportunity for him to turn around and communicate with his son, he would be willing.
After all, father and son are father and son after all.
