Chapter 178: Helplessness and Submission
"Hanghang, I was shocked when I saw you say that you were arrested at the police station, but fortunately, you didn't make any mistakes and didn't get hurt, which is undoubtedly the happiest thing for me.
I can imagine that your mom must feel the same way I did when she saw the message you sent. That's why she forgot to reply to the message and hurried to the airport. As elders, you must want your children to be healthy and safe, and this will not change at any time.
Hanghang, you should know by now that even if your mother is too busy to care about your study and life, and rarely even has real communication with you, in fact, in her heart, you will always be the most important person in her life, and her love for you will not change because of marriage to anyone, or any trivial matters in life.
When you told me that your mother would marry someone else soon after a year, you thought that I would be angry if I knew, but in fact, my reaction was the opposite, knowing that your mother had restarted a new family with someone else, and the big stone in my heart finally let go.
When you reach a certain age and have your own children, you may understand that compared to the so-called feelings, it is the most important thing for the elders to let yourself and your family live well. It's hard for me to imagine how your mother would have survived in that mountainous area if she hadn't remarried. So I'm not angry at all and I don't resent your mom, she just did what she was supposed to do for you and the family.
Your stepfather must also be very concerned about you, otherwise he would not accompany your mother to the police station in the early hours of the morning, try to communicate with him more, a good family atmosphere can also make you grow up healthier. You are already a man, there are many helplessness and compromises in life, and I believe that you will understand more in the near future.
You said that your mother boiled a pot of kelp pork rib soup before leaving, and your father hasn't tasted this soup for a long, long time, this is your favorite dish when you were a child, but in Dad's eyes, every dish your mother makes is very delicious..."
Xu Feihang saw the last word in the letter, he folded the letter again, put it in the envelope, turned his head to look at the dark sky outside the window, and fell into deep thought.
Xu Feihang found that although his father was in the soul realm and had been away from the world for ten years, he saw his life more clearly than him.
There is a lot of helplessness and resignation in the adult world, so the mother's original remarriage was really just forced by life, and to some extent, maybe it was still for herself? When Xu Feihang looked at this matter from another perspective, he actually felt that it was reasonable. He remembers that when he was a child, his family environment was indeed very poor, and he rarely ate meat, and the few eggs he bought to supplement his nutrition. That's why he has one more egg than his father in his boxed lunch, because there is no extra one for adults at home.
His father, who was a lumberjack, was certainly not well paid, and his mother was unemployed at the time, so when he died, the family would have to live on a small amount of savings. That's why my mother will find someone to marry in a hurry a year later?
Thinking of this, Xu Feihang's nose suddenly became a little sour, he found that he had always suspected how naïve his mother's feelings for his father were, no one would want to decide to get married after a few blind dates, and his mother's hurried remarriage was just because of the word life.
Xu Feihang began to feel that the marriage between his mother and stepfather was definitely not because of feelings, and the stepfather needed to find a mother who cared for her daughter, and the mother needed to provide a better family environment for her son, and they each took what they needed, so they hit it off that year and formed a family of four that seemed very reasonable.
Fortunately, the mother made the right bet this time, although she did not know more about her stepfather, but in the process of getting along after marriage, the stepfather did not show unacceptable bad habits, such as domestic violence, alcoholism or gambling. The stepfather is a very serious person, and at the same time very business-minded, after marrying his mother, he made the living conditions of the whole family better and better, for the mother, this is undoubtedly the best arrangement for her by God.
Xu Feihang remembered the night when his mother burned his father's relics, and when she threw the last photo of her father into the fire, her mother cried like a wounded child. At that time, Xu Feihang didn't understand very much, since he chose to marry another man, why did he still cry sadly at this time?
Xu Feihang only now understands that it was his mother saying her final goodbye to her father, and she couldn't marry into a new family with her father's relics, which would make her husband feel guilty. For the sake of her future life, she must give up her past feelings, in fact, until the night of remarriage, her mother still loves her father.
It turns out that his father has seen all this through a long time ago, and his mother will not fall in love with other men after a year, so he wants to know about his stepfather's situation from himself, in a hurry, did his mother make a right choice?
According to the information he told him, his stepfather accompanied his mother to the police station in the early morning, and after knowing this, his father in the soul world should be completely relieved.
Xu Feihang later realized that the relationship between his mother and father had gone beyond the scope of affection and affection, although his mother remarried someone else and burned all his father's relics, but she would always leave her father's place in her heart. And the father also does not want the mother to stay in the same place in the world, the mother wants to continue her life, no matter who she chooses to be with, the father only hopes that the mother can live a better life.
Although ten years have passed, no matter who his mother is married to now, his father must firmly believe that his mother still loves him, just as he firmly believes that his mother must still love him no matter how busy she is, Xu Feihang looked at the mountains in the dark, and suddenly thought everything through.
For his father, mother, and even stepfather, there was no longer any resentment or gap in his heart, and life seemed to become sunny all of a sudden, and a faint smile rose on the corner of Xu Feihang's mouth.
The train finally drove into the mountains, and ten years later, a new railway was ushered in in that mountainous area, which made Xu Feihang's return to his hometown much easier. Although he couldn't see it clearly in the night, Xu Feihang felt that they must still be the same as before, and the tree king must still be standing at the highest point of the mountains.
Walking out of the simple railway station in the mountains, Xu Feihang walked towards the valley in his memory, where there were a few dots of light, the only light that could be seen in the surrounding mountains and forests...
