The three-day learning agenda has finally come to an end, and from the fourth day onwards, the participants will arrange their own visits. Normally, in this case, the trainees will slip halfway and do what they want to do, and they will not return to the unit to report until the whole study time is completely over. Otaku Xiao Zhang finally retreated from the hotel and was going to another city to visit his girlfriend in a long-distance relationship, and Night Shadow, a single dog who had nothing to do, also decided to follow Xiao Zhang to the beautiful city of his girlfriend, and then go on a solo trip separately.

This small city is not far from X City, without the bustle and bustle of X City, but it is better than the beautiful scenery, and there are many legends of ancient talents and beauties, the local government has increased the creation of the city's cultural tourism brand project, and the cultural industry alone makes the local people earn a lot of money. Architecture, food, and industries attract a steady stream of visitors, and Nightshade is joining the ranks at the moment.

The sun is very poisonous, and the sun hurts, and you are covered in sweat when you move. Nightshade, who has always been light-dressed, didn't take much, her hair was still tied in a bun at the back of her head, the brim of her long baseball cap was pressed against her face as much as possible, covering most of her face, and she was used to short-sleeved T-shirts, jeans, sneakers, and a backpack, which was almost all the belongings Nightshade wore.

After shopping for a long time and feeling a little hungry, Nightshade decided to find a place to solve the livelihood problems.

After searching all the way, Nightshadow finally found a secluded place. This is a private house open to the outside world, the courtyard is surrounded by small bridges and flowing water, surrounded by green trees, the rooms near the roadside are set up as restaurants, selling local specialty restaurants, and the back is transformed into a few cross-courtyards for accommodation, the environment makes people feel very comfortable and convenient. Nightshade decides to stay here for a night or two.

After eating, Night Shadow followed the little girl in the guest room to her room. Put down your luggage, open the window, and lie down at the window and look out the window. A willow tree with a crooked neck grows diagonally outside the window, obscuring most of the windowscape, and below the windowsill is the pond, in which clumps of small fish swim happily. Looking through the pool, a middle-aged woman and a young girl were sitting in the window of the opposite room, talking intimately. The girl lay on the shoulder of the middle-aged woman, as if she didn't like what the middle-aged woman said, and shook the middle-aged woman's arm and pouted to show her unwillingness, while the middle-aged woman reached out and nodded the girl's head, shaking her head helplessly. It looks like a mother and daughter.

Nightshade poured a glass of water and sat down in front of the windowsill to drink slowly, looking at the mother and daughter with some envy. It's been a long time since I've been with my parents. For as long as I can remember, I have been attending boarding school, and I have always spent less time with my parents. And his parents work separately, and they are both strict people, who are not harsh and laugh, even if they want to be close, it is difficult to make intimate behaviors. As Nightshadow grows up, she gets used to the lifestyle with her parents, studying hard when she's busy, and occasionally making phone calls in her spare time. Later, I found a rented house to live in, and I was able to support myself in my monthly living expenses, and I had less contact with my parents. Fortunately, Night Shadow has a relatively generous personality, but he didn't complain about his parents, and the days came by day by day.

A violent cough came from the opposite side, interrupting Nightshadow's contemplation, and she saw the thin body of the middle-aged woman lying weakly on the windowsill, and her violently undulating shoulders showed the fragility of this body. The young girl hurriedly handed a glass of water to the noon woman, patted the middle-aged woman's back with one hand, and shouted loudly: "Dad, Dad, come on, Mom's illness is again!"

"Hurry up and get your mom the medicine. A rough voice came, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked into the room, crooked neck willow tree blocked the night shadow's view, but the voice was clearly very familiar, night shadow suddenly stood up, through the willow leaves, carefully looked at the middle-aged man in the opposite room.

Yes, see clearly the familiar face of this middle-aged man, it is Zheng Song, the father he has called for more than 20 years. But why did the father who worked in another city appear on the other side? Why did the girl on the other side also call him Dad? So, who was that middle-aged woman, was she Dad's junior? If this was really the case, the girl was their daughter, and their daughter was not much worse than herself, so when did they get together? Does Mom know about this? If not, should she sue Mom? At this moment, the night shadow has entered a state of excitement and confusion.

No, it should be someone who looks similar to his father, and he is not sure, how can he draw conclusions like this! Night Shadow doesn't want to believe the one in front of him, and prefers to confirm it before making a conclusion.

When the opposite side was busy, Night Shadow took advantage of the middle-aged man leaving the hut and entering the yard, dialed his father's phone, and the middle-aged man's phone on the other side rang instantly, the middle-aged man picked up the phone and looked at the screen, hesitated, then stayed away from the middle-aged woman's room, moved closer to the room on the side of Night Shadow, and pressed the answer button.

"Dad, did you hear me?" Seeing such a coincidence, Nightshadow's heart went dark.

"Shadow, Dad is working, it's not convenient, are you in a hurry?" The middle-aged man moved closer to Nightshadow's room and responded in a low voice, his eyes looking at the middle-aged woman's room from time to time, not knowing that he was being watched by others.

"Dad, are you really busy? A familiar voice came from the earpiece, and Night Shadow suddenly burst into tears, looking at her father through the crooked neck willow tree. Dad really betrayed Mom, he couldn't accept this fact, and I'd rather not find out that Dad was cheating, but this is already a definite fact, poor Mom, how to face this matter?

"Dad is really busy, you have to work hard, Dad will call you when he has time, okay?" Dad paced around the pool, looking at the middle-aged woman's room from time to time, as if he was afraid of being discovered, and wanted to end the call earlier.

Listening to Dad say this, looking at Daddy's anxious appearance, the fire in Night Shadow's heart burned, do you care so much about this little three, I haven't cared about him having a junior so early, and he also gave birth to a daughter about the same size as himself, and I'm afraid of being discovered if I talk to myself at this time, so where does Dad put his mother's position, and where is his position as a genuine daughter?

"Dad, you put your head up, look where I am. Nightshade was still holding up the phone, looking in her father's direction.

Zheng Song's hand holding the phone was a pause, and when he looked up, he saw the night shadow still holding the phone in the opposite window, looking at the night shadow's tearful face, and his eyes were about to burn with anger, Zheng Song sighed heavily. He hung up the phone and waved at Nightshade, then walked around the cloister to Nightshade's room and knocked on the door.

Nightshade opened the door and asked Zheng Song to sit down in the room. Because he was angry, he didn't pour a glass of water, so he sat aside angrily, glared at Zheng Song stubbornly, and waited for Zheng Song to explain to himself.

Seeing Night Shadow like this, Zheng Song knew that he couldn't end this matter today without saying a word, and he was silent for a long time before he frowned and looked at Night Shadow. "Actually, I don't know if you can afford to tell you the truth, but I think that after all, you have grown up and have a certain ability to judge right from wrong, and you also have a certain ability to accept the facts, and I don't want to continue to hide it from you, so I decided to tell you something you don't know. ”

Zheng Song lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and fell into memory: "When I was young, I met your mother by chance, at that time your mother was lively and cheerful, versatile, and very beautiful, and she was a shining point everywhere she went, which was very attractive to young boys. I was hopelessly in love with her at the time. But your mother doesn't choose anyone. I thought I wouldn't have a chance, but one day, your mother found me and asked me if I would like to marry her. I was very happy at the time, thinking that it was my sincerity that touched her and made her choose me among many people. I was afraid that she would regret it, so I hurriedly went to register my marriage with her. ”

Zheng Song paused, took another puff of cigarette, and continued, "Back to where I live, I just started to decorate the new house, your mother only told me at this time, she had a child, but the child's father has already married and had children, she loves the child's father, so she wants to give birth to this child, and the social atmosphere at that time could not accept the immoral thing of having a child out of wedlock, she needed a marriage, and the child needed a father, so I found me who was honest." ”

"Do you mean that I am the child, and you are not my real father?" Nightshade seemed to hear her own voice trembling and crying. Unexpectedly, the plot that only appears in TV dramas may also happen to me.

"No, you're not that kid. Zheng Song shook his head, "I was very angry and sad at that time, so I left your mother and left the residence at that time, and wandered outside alone for several days. Later, I also had some ideological struggles, because some friends at that time also knew that I was married, and I really liked your mother before, so I decided to go back to her and live a good life together. It's just that I didn't expect it, because in the days I left, she was a little excited, and some accidents happened, and the child was lost. I guess it's a good thing to have no children, at least she and I are both young, and it's not difficult to have children. But I don't know what your mother thinks, and it wasn't long before she came home from a few days out and brought back a little baby, that is, you, and said that she had picked it up and was going to keep it and raise it. But when I see her loving and hating you, I always have a strange feeling, not like she picked it up. During the two years I lived with your mother, there was almost no emotional communication, and I was busy working to support the whole family, and she was like a crazy devil to you all day long. In the end, your mother and I couldn't face this marriage and finally decided to separate. When you were just over two years old, we went through the divorce. Your mother's only request to me when she divorced was to hope that I could see you once in a while, care about you, and make you not feel lonely, so for so many years, you have always thought that my marriage with your mother still exists. ”

Looking at the opposite room outside the window, Zheng Song continued: "After I divorced your mother, I learned from a friend that my current wife has always taken care of me and my family, and because of her own family, she is not married. In this way, I started a small family with her, and the next year we had a daughter. After so many years, I have been living a peaceful and contented life, only occasionally receiving a call from you to talk to you, and I don't dare to tell you about it. ”

Looking at this tearful girl, Zheng Song sighed, she only knows so much, whether the truth is told or not, this child is destined to be hurt today, it is better to tell her the truth directly, maybe one day, she can find her biological parents and regain the joy of family.
