Chapter 3: When Forced Marriage is in Progress (3)
The First Hospital of Bac Ninh City, the special ward, Situ Shaonan, who was dressed in camouflage combat uniform, knelt beside the bedside of his unconscious mother, holding her hand tightly, as if as soon as he let go, his mother would leave her.
Situ Wen looked at the tears in his daughter's eyes distressedly, he remembered that she once said, "Soldiers don't need tears", so her tears flowed into her heart.
In fact, he has always been proud to have such a wonderful daughter, but he can also understand his wife's good intentions in doing this, although the 28-year-old daughter is a major general and is the chief of staff of the first army, but as parents, they always hope that she will have a good home, so that they can be completely relieved. Walking behind his daughter, Situ Wen gently patted her shoulder and said with relief: "Your mother is fine, but she is too weak, and she will wake up in a while." ”
"Dad, I'm sorry."
With a hint of the usual hoarse voice, Situ Wen's heart trembled.
He sighed lightly and said, "It's not your fault, everyone has their own insistence, it's just that you don't blame your mother, she also loves you too much and hopes you are happy." ”
"yes, I know."
Situ Shaonan's elegant and delicate face flashed with a touch of pain, maybe her insistence was really wrong, at least it hurt her mother, forcing her mother to choose to force herself to compromise in such an extreme way, no matter what, she really had compromised from the bottom of her heart.
"Strolling" in the café, on the semi-enclosed seat, Situ Shaonan was still wearing the combat uniform that she didn't have time to change, leaning on the soft sofa and chair, the melodious and soothing music in her ears was flowing slowly, she sat there quietly, looking down at the brown coffee in the cup being stirred up and rippling, just like at this time, her heart was the same, unable to calm down.
Remembering that last night, my mother opened her eyes and looked at herself weakly, and when she heard herself blurt out and agree to her arrangement, the light in her mother's eyes flickered, and her heart was depressed.
"I'm sorry, I'm late, today there was a student with acute appendicitis and was taken to the hospital, I just got out of my body, and I came after receiving your call, huh? Why don't you change your clothes, your face is not good, has something happened? ”
Looking for prestige, the person who came was Situ Shaonan's best friend, Zheng Mo, but seeing her in a flowing white sand dress, because she was in a hurry, her elegant and beautiful face was covered with beads of sweat.
She cut her long and soft hair that was a little messy, and sat down opposite Situ Shaonan very apologetically, seeing the coffee that her friend had ordered for herself, Zheng Mo smiled sweetly and said, "Our Shaonan is the best, I haven't seen you for a year, and I still remember my taste." ”
Situ Shaonan looked at Zheng Mo silently and smiled like a flower. Zheng Mo, who had long been accustomed to her taciturnity, didn't care, and continued: "Shaonan, how long can you rest at home this time!" "I'm getting married." This is the first sentence of Situ Shaonan for a long time, and her voice is her usual indifference, as if it is someone else's business.
"What? Married, with whom, how old, male or female, no, am I asking you are sure you want to get married? ”
Zheng Mo couldn't believe her ears, because of the forced marriage at home, she hid in the army and cut off contact with someone, although she and Situ Shaonan don't meet often, but the unbreakable friendship has always been as stable as Mount Tai, and the two will not be alienated because of time and distance, so she is the only object that Situ Shaonan can confide in, and the reason why Situ Shaonan has been marrying is the only one she knows.
Situ Shaonan told Zheng Mo the reason why she decided to obey her mother's arrangement. "Tut-tut, my aunt is too ruthless, if she doesn't grasp the time and dosage well, won't she make it true. Alas, it's hard for you. ”
As he spoke, Zheng Mo stretched out his hand and held Situ Shaonan's cold right hand, rubbed the thin cocoon generated by her palm because of holding the gun for many years, and sighed lightly, and then his clear eyes locked Situ Shaonan's white and tender face that was not like an ordinary girl, looking at her eyes as bright as stars, like a dry well for ten thousand years, she couldn't stir up the slightest ripple, and said softly: "Shaonan, let it go, don't cling to the past anymore, the deceased is gone, and he doesn't want you to be like this, didn't you say, he asked you to live for him?" If he is sitting here now, then do you want him to be immersed in the pain of the past like you and not be able to get out, or to be brave and move towards happiness. ”
Situ Shaonan just lowered his head silently, Zheng Mo knew that there were some things that she still needed to understand, so she didn't say anything, just quietly accompanied her.
Three days later, Situ Shaonan's mother, Liang Yun recovered and went home, she took her daughter's hand, her excitement was overflowing, and she hurriedly instructed the kitchen to prepare her daughter's favorite food, and she introduced her daughter's upcoming blind date.
"Shaonan, this is the leading Jin family in the entire Bac Ninh City, and our family is absolutely right, and Mr. Jin was your grandfather's old company commander, their family has a place in politics and business, your future father-in-law is the president of the Jin Group, and his only sister is married to the secretary of the Bac Ninh Municipal Party Committee. As for the person you want to go on a blind date, it is the only son of the Jin family, Jin Yiming. ”
Situ Shaonan listened quietly to his mother talking there without saying a word. Liang Yun saw that she didn't speak, so he asked, "Shaonan, is there anything wrong?" ”
Situ Shaonan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, Mom, you can arrange it, it's just that I have to go back to the army, and when you book a time, notify me, I will arrive in time." ”
Liang Yun saw her daughter's obedient appearance, nodded happily, and sent her daughter out. Sitting back on the sofa and patting her thigh, she actually forgot to show her daughter a photo of the Jin family, but with the resemblance of the Jin family, I am afraid that her daughter will also be confused.
Then she picked up the phone at hand, and after a while, the phone was connected, and she said briskly: "Hey, mother-in-law, well, yes, it's me, my daughter has come back, well, yes, that's okay, okay, let's see you on the weekend, okay, goodbye!" ”
"If you don't have a good rest, who are you talking to? What about Shaonan? Situ Wen, who had just gotten off work, saw Liang Yunmei smiling on the phone and asked.
Liang Yun got up when he heard the sound, took his briefcase, and said, "Who else can it be, the future mother-in-law." Shaonan rushed back to the troops. ”
"Oh, the time to meet the Jin family has been arranged?" Situ Wen took a sip of the tea handed by the servant.
"Well, for the weekend, the Golden Wing Hotel. I'll have to inform my daughter in a moment. Alas... When my daughter married into the Jin family, I was relieved. ”
Situ Wen sighed lightly: "I hope so." Then I looked through the newspaper today, and I didn't say anything.
