Chapter 77
This truth is twenty-eight years late, twenty-eight years, it is too long, long enough to wipe out many people's feelings, but for Lin Changning, as long as he knows that his only child is still alive, for him, he will always be more happy than surprised, but the waiting time is too long, he doesn't know what kind of expression Lu Dao should have at this moment is the most suitable, he is thinking that maybe he should cry, after all, God still has mercy on him, but his eyes have been sore and swollen without a single tear.
"Changning, cry when you feel uncomfortable, don't hold it back. We really shouldn't have been hiding it from you all these years. Whatever you say, you are born to be strong. ”
"Sister, don't talk about this, I understand your thoughts, if Zhuang Zhuang has been following me, it will not be better than now, you have taught him very well. Intellectually, he knew very well that if Zhuang Zhuang followed him back then, in his state at that time, he would not be able to raise Zhuang Zhuang at all, even if he reluctantly kept Zhuang Zhuang by his side, his studies would be completely ruined, not to mention, Zhuang Zhuang would also be infamous as an illegitimate child, and he would definitely not have the optimistic and cheerful temperament he has now, and he knows the truth better than anyone else.
But reason can't replace emotion, he still can't stop feeling uncomfortable, twenty-eight years he is destined to miss, the first time he learned to speak, the first time he learned to walk, the first time he carried a schoolbag to school, elementary school, junior high school, high school graduation, in the process of growing up, he didn't participate in anything, he didn't even know what Lu Dao Zhuang liked, what he didn't like, what little habits he had, what these little habits represented, he didn't know Lu Dao, at the age when Zhuang Zhuang needed the company of his relatives the most, it was not himself by his side, he had grown up and been a father now, what was the significance of his own appearance for him, it is just to disrupt his existing peaceful life, and other than that, there is no other use. Zhuang Zhuang didn't need him at all.
"Changning, what are you doing here? Mother Chen grabbed Lin Changning's arm and forbade him from making the next move, "If you really kneel, will it make me feel more uncomfortable?"
Mother Chen refused to let it, but Lin Changning did not continue to dwell on this matter, "Sister, Xie Lu thank you and your brother-in-law for being so strong and strong all these years." ”
Mother Chen opened her mouth to say something, but Lin Changning planned to say to her, "Sister, you listen to me first, I know that if it wasn't for you and your brother-in-law who agreed to raise Zhuang Zhuang, maybe Zhuang Zhuang would have been sent to another place, if that, I'm afraid it would not be easy for me to see him like today, and now it's the best." Zhilu said that the child was still alive, and he could still see from time to time that he was not satisfied, "Sister, Zhuang Zhuang will always be the son of you and your brother-in-law." ”
Having said this, Chen's mother couldn't hold back any longer, "Changning, you ...... Aren't you going to be strong?"
Lin Changning shook his head and said, "It's not easy enough for Zhuang Zhuang to carry tons and tons alone, don't mess with him about how many years have passed, let's just understand it in our hearts, besides, he follows you and my brother-in-law, and I don't have anything to worry about." ”
"Changning, aren't you wronged in your heart?"
"There's nothing wronged, sister, Zhuang Zhuang has his own life, and I have it too, if I am rashly admitted to Zhuang Zhuang, I am also quite embarrassed, I don't know how to go back and explain to Erin and them. Therefore, it is best to maintain the current situation. Good for everyone. "As long as everyone is well, as for him, he has been here for twenty-eight years anyway, so the next twenty-eight years will not be a problem. Others may be at fault, but the most wrong is himself, who cannot recognize his only son, and he deserves it.

"Uncle, are you not full? There are still noodles in the pot. "I got up from four o'clock to pick peaches, and I picked them until almost eight o'clock, he was really hungry, just eat quickly, and my uncle didn't need to look at him with that kind of gaze from time to time, although he couldn't understand what that gaze meant, but it inexplicably made people feel a little depressed, and it affected the speed of eating too much. He can hold on until now, it is already the limit, if it is one more minute, he will have stomach cramps.
Lin Changning helped him scoop a spoonful of minced capers into the bowl, and asked, "Zhuangzhuang, what do you like to eat, I'll make it for you at noon?"
Chen Anxiu muttered in his heart, it wasn't that he was too careful, but no matter how he looked at it, his uncle looked like he often went to the kitchen, with slender fingers, cold eyebrows, and an elegant atmosphere all over his body, no matter who imagined, it was more appropriate for him to hold a book in his hand than to hold a pot. Not to mention this cautious and imperceptible flattering attitude, at first glance, it was too strange, and when I looked at it again, it was still too strange, "Uncle, it's so hot, don't be busy, let's just eat in a small restaurant at noon, there is everything there, you can come over with Ton Ton at that time." ”
"I'll make mackerel dumplings for you to eat, when I came back from school in the past, your grandma would wrap this for me. ”
"This is too much trouble, uncle. "Wrapping dumplings with mackerel, just picking fish bones in advance is very laborious, so although the family loves to eat in addition to tons, Chen's mother is not easy to make, and to make dumplings with mackerel filling, you must put some minced leeks to be delicious, leeks are easy to get out of the water, so you need to wrap them while stirring the minced leeks into it.
Lin Changning breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and when he heard Zhuang Zhuang say this, he knew that he didn't hate eating, "It's not necessarily a good package, I'll go to the market first to see if there is any fresh mackerel." You go about your business first. ”
Sometimes the small restaurant is busy, and it can only stop at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, so Chen Anxiu and they usually eat early, about half past ten o'clock when they have lunch, today Chen Anxiu only ate a cornmeal small nest and stopped, even tons and tons more than he ate, Jiang San's grandfather also asked worriedly, "Zhuangzhuang, are you uncomfortable, why do you eat so little?"
Chen Anxiu smiled and said, "I ate a lot of breakfast, and I'm not very hungry now." In fact, he thinks that his uncle is really making dumplings at home, in fact, he and his uncle have not been together for a long time, and they don't know each other deeply, but he feels that this kind of thing is really inexplicable.
But his feeling was right, when it was close to noon, Lin Changning really brought dumplings, and at that time, Chen An was cutting the lo-mei, temporarily handed over the stall to Sun Xiao, and pulled Lin Changning to the small stone table at the back of the house.
"That's a lot, uncle. "It's two big boxes.
"Freshly out of the pot, eat it while it's hot. ”
Chen Anxiu asked for balsamic vinegar plates and chopsticks from the kitchen window, "Uncle, let's eat together." He divided the dumplings into two portions.
"I've eaten it, these are for you, what about tons?"
Wangwang came back and led him home to take a nap. ”
The front of the small restaurant is very lively, but few people come behind the house, it is very quiet, a few steps further is the river valley, it is now the flood season, the sound of the water rushing can be heard clearly, and the water vapor that comes up makes the surroundings very cool.
"Strong, are you okay?"
Chen Anxiu took another one, put it in his mouth, and after swallowing it in two bites, he nodded and said, "Well, it's delicious, uncle." Afraid that he wouldn't believe it, he said with a slight exaggeration, "Especially when dipped in vinegar, it's a delicacy in the world, uncle, you can taste it." He was happy, he had less scruples, and after sending it away, he thought that this chopstick was used by him, and when he hesitated to take it back, Lin Changning had already opened his mouth and held it.
"It's better than that. ”
"yes, I didn't lie to you, come on, uncle, let's eat another one. ”
Lin Changning laughed, Chen's mother came over to pack a piece of cold powder, and before she turned the corner, she heard their laughter, didn't stay long, and quickly raised her feet and left.

Lou Nan was doing his homework with a sugar ball in the living room on the first floor, and when he heard movement in the yard, he peeked through the window to see that it was Ye Jingqian back.
"Dad, help me. Before one of Sugar Ball's arms could stretch out, Lou Nan grabbed it back with one hand.
"It's useless for your dad to come back. If you don't finish your homework, you won't have to eat dinner. ”
"What are you two arguing about?" Ye Jingqian carried his briefcase and opened the door to come in.
"Dad, this person is abusing me at home again. Ye Jingqian was changing his shoes at the entrance, and the sugar ball flew up and accused Lou Nan of his crime, "He didn't give me shrimp crackers or dinner." He also physically attacked me. ”
Lou Nan carried the person and threw it directly on the sofa next to him, "People who scored 36 points in the math test still dare to say personal attacks? You have itchy skin, don't you?"
Ye Jingqian hurriedly pulled the person in his arms and comforted him, "Okay, okay, you have been taking care of the one in your stomach for more than six months." ”
"Didn't you go to the health bureau for a meeting in the afternoon? Why did you come back so late?"
Ye Jingqian loosened his tie and said, "I'm already early, and those who stay will go to the hotel to renew their stalls at night." It's all smelling of smoke, I'll go up and take a shower first, what do you want to eat at night?"
Because of Ye Jingqian's presence, Lounan's cooking skills have been stagnant at the level of cooking instant noodles, "Just make two cold dishes, anyway, only the two of us eat." He said this on purpose, and sure enough, he heard the sound of the person lying on the sofa crying.
Ye Jingqian passed by him, patted his head and said, "Hurry up and do your homework, there will be braised pork to eat at night." ”
"Really, Dad?"
Lou Nan made up for him, "Fake." ”
Being kicked in a sugar ball doesn't hurt or itch, but for the sake of having meat to eat, I rubbed it on the table and pretended to be.
"By the way, I have a document in my bag, you can see it yourself, I just found it in the morning, and I haven't had time to show it to you, there is something that really fools you. Ye Jingqian said to Lou Nan when he changed his clothes.
Lou Nan sat on the edge of the bed, opened the briefcase, and put it on the top was Chen Anxiu's birth record, the mother's column was written on Lin Changning, and the father's column was empty, "He was really born to Lin Changning?"
Judging by the records at the time, that's right. ”
"I don't think Chen Anxiu is an ordinary unlucky. I just knew who my father was, but he didn't even know who his father was. ”
"Don't meddle in this matter, if they don't say it, there must be a reason not to say it. Ye Jingqian knew that Lou Nan and Chen Anxiu were arguing, and the relationship was still good, so he was afraid that he would be nosy.
"I don't need you to tell me about this, I know how to do it. Lou Nan casually put the documents in the drawer, and pressed under it was a physical examination report, and the name written in the exposed corner was, Chen Qiuyang.
