Chapter 233: Blood Is Thicker Than Water
"Yes, I'm not an ignorant child." I said.
When I was a child, I was always very envious of others who were loved by grandparents and grandparents. When I see so many people who love me, I will be very envious. It's an indisputable fact that my grandparents passed away. But my grandparents are still there. It's just that they all treat me like air and ignore me. If I don't have a grudge, it's a fake. Until now, I have never felt the love of the older generation. When I was a child, I cried because of this and asked my parents why. I remember every time I asked my parents why, my mom would burst into tears, and my dad would smoke a cigarette without saying a word. It wasn't until I grew up and learned the reason from my parents that I stopped making trouble, which is why my parents hurt me so much. They always felt sorry for me.
"Well, you know it. Speaking of which, Mom feels very sorry for you. Because of my relationship with your father, you have lacked a lot of love since you were a child. But son, you must know that blood is still thicker than water after all. Without your grandparents, there would be no you. Mom me. Children are all pieces of meat that fell from their mother's body, and your grandparents are angry with me, and there are also my faults in it. After so many years, my mother has not given them filial piety, and I already feel very sorry for them. So Mom hopes that if you can, you will do some filial piety to both me and your dad for them. I guess the two of them are having a hard time right now. Your uncle's family has been abroad for a long time, and they are the only two old people left. It must be lonely in normal times. My mom said to me earnestly.
"Yes, son. In the past, when our family was not developed, I was afraid that they would misunderstand what we wanted from them, so I and you. Mom would love to see your grandparents. But I can only watch them from afar. Now that our family is prosperous and they are retired, it's time to give them their filial piety. Even if the two of them don't want to see our family yet, we have to make their lives carefree. My dad chimed in.
I said, "Mom, Dad, I know what to do." I understand what you have to say. Mom is right, after all, blood is thicker than water. It's all a family, so what can't you let go? ”
My mom was very relieved and said to me, "Yes." Son, you've really grown up. is almost the father of two children, I hope that no matter how rich and powerful you become in the future, you must remember: a family is a family after all. Blood ties are always severed. No matter what others think, what we should do is still to be done. Don't be rude to others because they have prejudices against us. ”
The Father of the Nation once said: The parents who gave birth to me will be the teachers who teach me. These two are not to be forgotten. I deeply understand the deep meaning of this sentence. Without parents, there are no offspring. Talking about glory and wealth in this way.
My dad relied on his memory to drive the car to a gate that said "Living area for cadres directly under a city or city in Province G" and then stopped the car. Because the guard in front of the door had already signaled us to stop. Maybe outsiders are not allowed to enter casually here, not to mention that our car is still a provincial number.
"Who are you looking for?" The guard said to me politely.
"Let's look for Mayor Liu Xuefu and Liu." My dad was also very polite to the guard. Liu Xuefu is my grandfather's name.
"May I ask who you are, what is the matter with Mayor Liu?" The guards asked us to arrive.
"I am Liu Xuefu's son-in-law, she is my wife's daughter, and this is my son." My dad introduced our family one by one.
"Oh. I didn't hear that Mayor Liu had a daughter, but he did have a son. The guard said with some confusion.
After hearing the guard's words, my mother's expression was visibly sad. The reason for this is something that only my dad and I can understand.
"Can you help me talk to him. Let's just say that there is a woman named Liu Qiulan looking for him. My mom said. The tone was full of sadness. Others only know that their parents only have one son, but they don't know that they also have a daughter. Of course she was very sad.
It may be that seeing that our family showed no signs of lying, the guard finally helped us inform.
"You guys wait here, Mrs. Liu said she would come out in person." The guard came over to us and said something like this. When he heard my grandmother's excited voice, he was already sure that our family was related to the old mayor.
"Thank you!" My mom said to the guard gratefully.
"You're welcome!" After the guard finished speaking, he returned to his post.
"Let's all get out of the car, and don't let my mom think we're rude." My mom said to me and my dad.
Then my dad parked the car in the parking space on the side, and the family got off the station and went to the gate to wait for my grandmother to arrive. At this time, my mother's body had begun to tremble slightly, and she was excited. When my grandparents heard that it was my parents who came to look for them, they didn't even see them. This time, my grandmother was going to come out to see us in person, and of course my mother was excited. Even if my grandmother wouldn't let us in, it wouldn't have been in vain.
Looking at my mother's trembling body, my dad gently hugged her, wanting to give my mother some comfort.
"Thank you, Lao Zhu!" My mom said to my dad gratefully.
My dad smiled and didn't say anything.
About five minutes later, a lady in her sixties appeared in front of us. Looking at her appearance, she looks very similar to my mother, and I know that she must be my legendary grandmother. Because of good maintenance, she looks like she is in her sixties, and there is no sign of age. She still walks at a steady pace. Seeing our family of three, her expression has changed significantly, and it can be clearly seen that her heart must be surging at this time.
And at this time, my mother couldn't help but shed tears.
"Lan Lan!" My grandmother called my mom in an excited tone. At this time, her eyes were also a little moist. I haven't seen my daughter for almost 20 years, and even if there is a big grievance, it should be eliminated.
"Mom!" My mom shuddered and called my grandmother to come. My grandmother finally agreed to call her by her nickname again, which means that she is no longer angry with my mother, can my mother not be happy.
"I'm sorry for you, my daughter." Women are made of water. After my grandmother said this, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Mom!" My mother finally couldn't take it anymore, she rushed to my grandmother, hugged her, and cried sadly.
My mother's sadness and grievances for more than 20 years finally broke out at this moment. When people are confined, they have their parents-in-law and parents who care about and care for them, but my mother does not. All my mom has is my dad's love. Other people's sons have so many elders who care about and love them, but her son can only be brought by her and my father. During the Chinese New Year, others will take the time to go back to their parents' home, but my mother has her mother's house but can't go back. It's been more than twenty years. In the past 20 years, all the grievances and difficulties encountered can only be solved by her and my father. The sadness and grievances in this are not being told by my elders by my father and mother. They are on their own for everything. It's not that they don't have elders, it's that their elders don't want to see them. All of this is deeply hurting my parents' hearts. And at this time, my grandmother finally recognized my mother again, can my mother cry unhappily.
At this time, my dad couldn't help but cry. Over the years, he has borne the burden of all the burdens of the family alone, and who can know the pain in his heart.
But fortunately, this moment of thinking about it day and night has finally arrived.
"Lan Lan, he is my grandson, the son of you and Xiao Zhu." My grandmother wiped her tears from her eyes and said to my mother.
"Well, yes, Mom! He is your grandson, Xiaotian. Xiaotian, call grandma. My mom choked up. She's so happy, so excited. (To be continued......)
