Chapter 153 [Fireside Night Talk]
Su Donglai listened and slowly closed his eyes, his thoughts traveled through time and space across thousands of mountains and rivers, and the ups and downs of this life appeared in his mind like a movie screen.
Just when Su Donglai was immersed in the reminiscence of the past, the voice on the stage stopped abruptly, Su Donglai opened his eyes and looked at the woman on the stage with some surprise.
She didn't continue to sing, but sighed quietly, took off the scarf, slowly came to Su Donglai's side, and said apologetically: "I haven't sung for a long time, I'm already rusty, not only can't I remember the lyrics clearly, but now I can't even go up the high note." โ
Su Donglai nodded: "We are no longer young!" โ
The woman stared into his eyes, trying to see his true heart through his eyes, but she knew that it was a futile move, she had known Su Donglai for twenty years, and he had always been like a fog to herself.
Su Donglai said: "Am I anything special?" โ
The woman said softly, "You rarely get so angry. โ
Su Donglai said: "If the tiger is not powerful, others will think that you are a sick cat, and you must not be too accustomed to the people under you, they will not know how to be grateful, and will only kick your nose in the face." โ
"Donglai, do you have something on your mind?"
Su Donglai shook his head: "I was just thinking, I've lived so big, and I don't have many friends around me...... his expression was stunned.
"Are you lonely?"
Su Donglai laughed: "People like me are destined to be lonely!" โ
The woman sighed: "Actually, why do you put so much pressure on yourself, you have everything you should have, wealth, power, status, family, what are you not satisfied with?" โ
Su Donglai took a sip of the teacup and drank the cooled tea in the cup, stood up and said, "You won't understand me, no one understands me!" After saying this, he strode towards the outside of the pear orchard, the woman looked at Su Donglai's back, biting her lip tightly, two tears rippled in the already red circles of her eyes, but in the end they did not slip down.
The black sรจ Volvo outside the pear orchard lurks in the night, just like its owner, simple and low-key and unassuming, the driver Lao Mo has been following Su Donglai's side for a full twenty years, twenty years of time has made him from a radiant middle-aged man has entered aging, sixty-three years old to someone else has already been at home for a long time, his wife is virtuous and son Xiao, children and grandchildren are around the knee, but Lao Mo has never married in his life, so he has nothing to do with all this qiฤ, the Su family is his home, and Su Donglai is his master.
As early as three years ago, Su Donglai built yรฌ Lao Mo retired, of course Lao Mo does not have to worry about the problem of pension, Su Donglai will bear his future expenses, not to mention that Lao Mo's own salary is very high, even if the annual salary of millions of dollars is obtained from multinational foreign companies, it can be regarded as the income of first-class white-collar workers, but Lao Mo is unwilling to retire, except for driving, except for guarding Su Donglai's side, he will not do anything, Lao Mo thinks in his heart that the meaning of his survival is to protect Su Donglai.
Seeing Su Donglai's figure appear, Lao Mo opened the car door for him, Su Donglai did not enter the car immediately, but paused, and carefully looked at Lao Mo, Lao Mo has already gray temples, and his strong and upright body is now a little rickety, in front of Su Donglai, Lao Mo's eyes are always humble, he almost never looked directly into the eyes of the master, not daring, but a kind of respect from the heart.
Su Donglai said: "Old Mo, you are sixty-three years old, right?" โ
Lao Mo misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly said: "Although I am sixty-three years old, my body is still very strong, and I can still continue to drive." โ
Su Donglai smiled: "Then keep driving!" At this time, his mobile phone rang, when Su Dong saw that this number belonged to Su Le, his heart was inexplicably excited, there are few things in this world that can touch his heartstrings, Su Donglai sat in the car, only then did he connect the phone, and said in a low voice: "Why haven't you slept so late?" โ
"Can't sleep!"
Su Donglai said: "It's better to come out, I'll invite you to have supper." โ
"Or let me invite you, there is a small street three hundred meters east of the Yunzhou Hotel, where there is a self-service barbecue."
Su Donglai raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "I'll go over right away." โ
"Don't worry, I'll wait for you!"
Su Donglai told Lao Mo the location, Lao Mo was very surprised, in his impression, the owner had not eaten such a roadside stall for ten years, and such an invitation actually made him so excited, the haze that had been hanging over his brow for these days suddenly disappeared.
Su Donglai rushed to the location that Su Le said, and saw that Su Le was already sitting there, the barbecue grill had been installed, and there were meat skewers he ordered in the tray on the side, the meat skewers were freshly cut, Su Le just asked the boss to rough process it, and the rest of the process was completed by himself, the skewers seemed simple, but the grasp of the heat was also very important, and how to cook the meat skewers and maintain the moisture and tender taste in them is also a skill.
Su Donglai sat down opposite his son, Su Le looked up at him and said, "Do you want to be spicy?" โ
Su Donglai shook his head, Su Le sprinkled some cumin powder, and handed the grilled meat skewer to Su Donglai, Su Donglai took a bite of the meat skewer, and the tender taste was instantly transmitted to his mouth, and the pleasure brought by the delicacy was transmitted to his nerve center along his taste buds, Su Donglai nodded.
Su Le looked at his father: "I used to dream a lot, and I dreamed that one day I was sitting at a roadside stall with my father, drinking and chatting. โ
Su Donglai felt an indescribable sourness in his heart because of his son's words, and after he finished eating the meat skewers, he coughed lightly: "It's delicious, the best meat skewers I've ever eaten in my life." An unprecedented emotion cleansed his heart and made his heart churn, this is the family affection between father and son, no matter how far apart, no matter how long they are separated, they will never be reduced by half a point because of the alienation of time and space.
Su Donglai said: "Have a drink?" โ
Su Le shook his head: "You can't drink. โ
Su Donglai smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter anymore. He raised his hand and said, "Boss! Bring your best liquor here! โ
Su Le said: "You drink water, I drink!" He took the liquor from his boss's hand and unscrewed the bottle.
Su Donglai raised the cup in front of him: "People live for a lifetime, if they haven't even tasted the wine poured by their son, what kind of sorrow should it be?" โ
Su Le pursed his lips and poured a little white wine into his father's cup, but filled the glass in front of him, although it was a subtle move, he had already shown his concern for his father.
Su Donglai did not refuse his son's kindness, he reached out to shorten the glass of wine, but Su Le took the glass of wine in his hand first, presented it to his father with both hands, and said softly: "Although people will inevitably have regrets in this life, I still hope that the fewer regrets you have, the better." โ
Su Donglai took the wine glass and drank the less than a sip of liquor, dozens of pieces of liquor per bottle obviously did not have any quality, but Su Donglai felt that this was the sweetest wine he had ever drunk in his life, and the aroma of the wine was integrated into his blood and warmed his heart.
Su Le picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a big sip of wine with his father.
Su Donglai smiled and said: "It's not fair, you drink such a big sip, but I can only take a small sip." โ
Su Le put down the wine glass with a smile and said: "It's not unfair, you are a big person and you need to keep a clear head at all times, and I am a small person who needs to use wine to strengthen my courage, so of course I drink more and you drink less." โ
Su Donglai said: "There is no difference between big people and small people in this world, I think that others are big people, not because of how tall others are, but because you kneel on the ground and look up at him, really when you stand up straight, you will find that the so-called big people are just the same as you." โ
Su Le handed the grilled meat skewers to his father again.
Su Donglai looked at his son's skillful barbecue action, and his heart was sour, his son grew up at the bottom of the market for the past eighteen years, and he did not enjoy the love of his parents, nor did he get a higher education, and this qiฤ was all caused by his own negligence, Su Donglai said: "I heard that you cook a good dish." โ
Su Le smiled: "I have no ambition since I was a child, my biggest wish is to be a good chef, take over Xiaodongfeng from the old **, and run this tavern well." At this he glanced at his father, wondering if his title had caused his father's displeasure.
Although he couldn't let go of Su Yujiao's abduction of his son, he also understood that Su Le had lived with her for eighteen years after all, whether he admitted it or not, this kind of nurturing grace could not be denied, and he couldn't ask his son to hate Su Yujiao like himself, so he didn't mind his son's name for Su Yujiao, and smiled: "Everyone has zรฌyรณu to pursue their own life." After finishing speaking, he changed his words and said: "But in the face of reality, few people can live the life they want, do you know what I wanted to do the most?" โ
Su Le shook his head, it was only today that he had only met his father, and he lacked the necessary understanding of his father.
Su Donglai said: "I once wanted to be a doctor who saved lives, but in the end I gave up. In the eyes of many people, I am a successful person, but in terms of my ideals, I am a failure. โ
Su Le said: "Why do you have to tell me the truth, if you don't say anything, maybe I can live happily ever after." โ
Su Donglai looked at his son, what Su Le asked was the question he had been entangled with, after he learned that he would die soon, he hesitated, and once thought that it was better to hide this secret forever, but his reason told him that this secret could never be hidden.
Writing and writing suddenly bottlenecked, so I had to start from scratch, and the next chapter was a little later, which was related to the follow-up development, and the octopus didn't dare to be careless! I'm nervous to ask for a few monthly passes!
