Chapter 56: Fate is predestined
"Can you sue me, who are you?" The old man's eyes were as sharp as knives, hidden between deep eyebrows.
Who are you?
Who am I?
Chen Xiaoyu lowered her eyelids and was silent.
How should she answer? From "Where did you come from, and where are you going?" This question is the ultimate question of mankind, right?
Bowing her head and being silent for a while, she raised her eyes, stared at Grandpa Deng, and said slowly, "Who was me before she gave birth to me?" Who am I after I was born? Grandpa, who do you say I am? I don't know who I am. β
She looked at the old man, and the old man looked at her, and the two looked at each other silently for ten seconds, and the old man finally turned his face away and closed his eyes.
The room was large, with a large desk in addition to this large bed, bookshelves all over the wall, and an easy chair against the window.
Xiaoyu remembers that when she used to write with her grandfather, she was studying ink at the desk, and her grandfather would sit in that easy chair with his eyes closed, and the record player would play vinyl records and spin slowly, and the music would sound low and soothing, sometimes world famous songs, sometimes national music.
Xiaoyu remembers an old song in which the female voice sang helplessly and melancholy in English, "When we were young, the May scenery was intoxicating, and you wished you to love me, when we were young." Sing the song of spring, the joyful music comes back, and you make a wish to say that you love me, when we were young. You say you love me, the two of us snuggle up to each other, we talk happily, we hold back tears, and say goodbye to inseparable; When the song of spring is sung again, the early morning of May still recalls, don't forget the old love, when we were young......"
Every time Grandpa Deng heard it, a trace of tenderness would appear on his old face.
Everyone has been young and has had good memories, just like Deng Yinan said, his life can be regarded as a complete merit.
"Child, do you remember that when we first met, I said that you would have a lot to do with our Deng family, do you remember?" The old man reopened his eyes and looked at her.
Chen Xiaoyu nodded, she remembered.
At that time, she had just been reborn, and she was full of confusion about her fate.
"You just heard that some people in our Deng family are smart, some are cowardly, and some are indeed selfish and ruthless." The old man smiled bitterly, "I have long put my life and death aside in my life, and the only regret is that I have not educated several children......" The old man sighed.
"Grandpa, don't say that. You see how good Brother Nan is. Chen Xiaoyu couldn't bear it and hurriedly comforted him.
"Yinan is my only consolation." The old man took a breath, there was a trace of worry in his eyes, he looked at Xiaoyu, paused, and said with a little difficulty, "Child, although you don't explain, I also know that you are not an ordinary child, there are some words, originally I wanted to wait until you are older to talk about it, but it seems that I don't have much time left...... Just open the skylight and say something bright and go straight to the point. Yi Nan is the child I value and like the most, his intelligence is dΓΉ, and the depth of his thoughts is much higher than that of his parents. He is the only child in our Deng family who can achieve great things. But this child is so smooth, he has never suffered setbacks, especially emotionally very vulnerable, which is what I can't worry about the most. I can see that he ...... you," the old man paused again, "If our Deng family is blessed to have a relationship with you, it is also a good story." The old man stopped and looked at Chen Xiaoyu with eager eyes.
Chen Xiaoyu bit her lip, lowered her eyes, her face burned red, she knew what the old man wanted to express, but she didn't know how to answer.
said that she was still young and didn't think about this, but she still said that she was just a friend to Deng Yinan, no matter what, she had no way to meet the old man's thoughts, so she had to be silent.
The old man seemed to understand her silence, nodded slightly, and said, "Fate is predestined, if it really doesn't have a fate with you, please remember what I said, and raise your noble hand." β
Coming out of Deng's house, it was getting late,
Chen Xiaoyu looked back at the small building again, except for the window of the Deng family, the lights were brilliant, there were faintly children crying, some people were humming, and the days were quiet and normal.
"Are they really going to move out?" Chen Xiaoyu asked.
Deng Yinan nodded, "The family has received a notice from the government." Sometime someone will come and do their job. β
"Do you really want to live in a house that big as your family?" Liu Lulu asked suspiciously, her little mouth pursed secretly, and her heart was unbalanced.
"This house was originally ours, and my grandfather earned it from scratch and with his bare hands, and now it's just to return to us what used to belong to our family." Deng Yinan said disapprovingly.
"But so many of our families live in such a small house." Lulu said unconvinced, she pulled Chen Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, are you right?" Isn't it fair? β
"More work and more reward, this house is the income of my grandfather's labor, how can it be said that it is unfair?"
"Your grandfather is a big capitalist, how can it be the income of labor, he is not a working person." Lulu pursed her lips.
"My grandfather was a national capitalist who contributed to the country, okay? During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, my grandfather risked his life to send supplies and ammunition to the New Fourth Army, and during the War of Liberation, he supported the People's Liberation Army. β
"Brother Yinan, I can't compete with you, anyway, there are only two people in your family, Grandpa Deng and Grandma Deng, and it's unfair to live in such a big house." Lulu said, turning around and leaving.
Chen Xiaoyu hurriedly pulled her and persuaded, "Lulu, why are you angry, it's not for your family to move away, besides, the government will also arrange a place for these people to go, maybe it will be more comfortable than the original residence, all of these are government policies, what does it have to do with Brother Yinan?" You're angry with him. β
Yes, what does it have to do with Deng Yinan, this is the pace of the times rushing forward, breaking the original balance.
"I'm just not feeling well anyway." Lulu muttered quietly.
"What's uncomfortable, think about it, you wore the clothes sent by your aunt from Hong Kong all day long to show off, Fan Wenjuan and they didn't feel comfortable either, this is a truth. You don't want to talk about it if you have overseas connections? β
She looked at the two people in front of her who were the beneficiaries of this era, one was a capitalist who implemented policies, and the other had overseas connections, so they were much stronger than her.
Liu Lulu blinked, unable to refute, and snorted happily.
Deng Yinan also smiled.
Chen Xiaoyu smiled and patted Lulu and took her arm, "Let's go, let's go, let's go home, anyway, I'm the one who is the least good." β
Yes, she is the one who has no light at all, and all the wealth accumulation depends on herself.
"I'll send you away." Deng Yinan said, looking at Chen Xiaoyu's eyes thoughtfully.
The winter night sky is high and clear, and the stars shine in the deep blue night sky, shining like diamonds.
The three young men walked all the way under such starlight.
"By the way, what did Grandpa Deng talk to you about?" Liu Lulu endured it for a long time and didn't hold back, but still asked.
Chen Xiaoyu instinctively glanced at Deng Yinan.
His gaze met his inquiring gaze.
"It's nothing, it's just to explain what will happen to me in the future." Chen Xiaoyu said vaguely, "Counting me, I'm a closed disciple of his old man's family." β
"Yes, my handwriting was also taught by my grandfather, so I'm your senior brother." Cold, Deng Yinan said.
"Ah, you two brothers and sisters." Lulu grinned.
She didn't say anything, and when she said it, both of them were embarrassed.
