Chapter 231 The relationship with the Song family
After breakfast, Zhang Liping suddenly said to Chen Kai: "Xiaokai, you come with your mother, and your mother will tell you something." ”
Chen Kai was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but respond immediately: "Oh, okay." Then he got up and followed Zhang Liping to her room.
"Mom, what's the matter?" After walking into his mother's room, Chen Kai couldn't help asking.
Zhang Liping casually closed the door, her eyebrows seemed to sigh a little, and then motioned for Chen Kai to sit down on the chair next to her, and she herself walked to the side of the bed and sat down slowly.
Chen Kai looked at his mother's reaction with some doubts, and then sat honestly on the side, looking at his mother, waiting for her to speak.
Zhang Liping seemed to be thinking about how to speak, grabbed the edge of the bed with her palm, muttered for a while, looked up at Chen Kai, and finally said slowly: "Xiao Kai, Chinese New Year's Eve that day...... The few people who came to our house, you must be curious about what our family has to do with theirs, right? ”
Chen Kai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he didn't expect his mother to talk about it. To be honest, Chen Kai is indeed quite curious about this, from the words of Song Keming and Song Qi that day, as well as his mother's reaction, Chen Kai can almost conclude that his family must have something to do with the Song family.
It's just that his mother didn't let him ask more questions at that time, and Chen Kai could see that his mother seemed to be a little secretive about this matter, so he didn't mention it again. It's just that I don't want my mother to take the initiative to tell me about it today.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Kai still nodded and responded: "Well, Mom, I'm indeed a little curious about this matter." However, if you don't think there's any need to say it, you don't need to tell me about it, whether our family has anything to do with them or not, it doesn't matter. In my eyes, as long as mom and you are happy, the most important thing is to have a good time! ”
Chen Kai's thoughtful words made Zhang Liping feel very pleased, and she became extremely happy when she looked at her son's eyes. To have such a considerate and filial son, what else can she ask for?
A kind smile was revealed. Zhang Liping took a deep breath and said, "Mom has also thought about it in the past two days, this matter is actually going to sue you sooner or later, but Mom originally planned to wait until you are older, and then tell you when Mom is also old." ”
"But Mom didn't expect their family to come again. Mom thought about it, since this is already the case, it is better to simply tell you everything, as for what you want to do, Mom will not interfere with you. However, Mom still hopes that you will stop having any dealings with their family......"
Zhang Liping spoke. The demeanor and tone are very emotional and sighing.
Chen Kai was a little stunned when he heard this, listening to his mother's meaning, the connection between their family and the Song family in Kyoto is probably not so simple, there are many stories in it.
"Mom, say it." Chen Kaidao. Looking at his mother quietly, he really wanted to know what was going on now.
Zhang Liping sighed lightly, sat up straight, and then said: "This matter actually has to start with your grandmother......
"My grandmother?" Chen Kai's eyes widened. Surprised: "Could it be that my grandmother has anything to do with the Song family?" Chen Kai has never seen his grandmother, when he was a child, he heard his parents say that his grandmother passed away a long time ago, and even his father was still young at that time.
"Hmm." Zhang Liping nodded and said, "You should know about the special historical background of our country before the reform and opening up a few decades ago. ”
"At that time, it was very common for educated young people in the city to go to the countryside. It can even be said that this is true throughout the country. Your grandmother was just an ordinary country girl, and at that time, a group of young intellectuals from Kyoto who were assigned to the countryside came to the village. As for what happened next, you can probably guess it, Mom won't say much about your grandma here. Anyway, you know that this is the way it is. ”
Hearing his mother's words, Chen Kai had actually thought of the whole situation, but he felt a little hard to believe it in his heart.
I couldn't help but ask, "Mom." You mean, grandma had a relationship with someone from Kyoto? Then I had a father, and the educated youth who had a relationship with my grandmother was surnamed Song? ”
"Hmm." Zhang Liping nodded lightly, then sighed again, and said, "Your father is actually your grandmother's surname." ”
Chen Kai took a deep breath, the shock in his eyes slowly subsided, and then asked, "Mom, what about later?" Later, my grandmother followed ...... What's going on with that guy surnamed Song? Did he abandon his grandmother? ”
Zhang Liping shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Actually, he can't be blamed for this matter, when he left, he didn't know that your grandmother already had your father." ”
"Mom doesn't actually know the specific situation in detail, these things are all told by your father. Your father said that your grandmother took him to Kyoto later, and also found the Song family, but the status of the Song family in Kyoto ...... You know, they can't look down on a country girl like your grandma. ”
And, more importantly, the man surnamed Song was engaged to the daughter of another family member at the time and was ready to get married. Obviously, the appearance of your grandmother and your father was not welcomed by the Song family, and the other party did not recognize your grandmother and your father at all. Your grandmother begged to see the man, but the people of the Song family directly kicked your grandmother and your father out......"
Zhang Liping couldn't help but sigh a little when she said this, and Chen Kai also felt sad when she heard it. Although he hadn't experienced this personally, thinking that his father and grandmother had endured such humiliation, Chen Kai couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, and his right hand was unconsciously clenched into a fist.
"Mom, what about later? Later, did grandma still go to the Song family? Chen Kai took a deep breath, calmed the anger in his heart about the humiliation of his grandmother and father, and asked.
Zhang Liping nodded and said, "Your father said that your grandmother didn't give up at that time, and she had been wandering around the Song family in Kyoto for a long time, wanting to find a chance to meet that man." Your dad said that your grandmother's idea at the time was probably to let the man meet your dad in person. ”
"It's a pity that your grandmother didn't get to see that man in the end. After the people of the Song family found out that your grandmother had been wandering around, they directly asked people to drive your grandmother away, and even punched and kicked your grandmother. ”
"At that time, your father was just three years old, and your grandmother persevered for a while, but she really had no choice, so she could only return to her hometown with your father in frustration."
"And then?" Chen Kai couldn't help but ask.
"Later...... Your father said that your grandmother has never married anyone else, and with your grandmother's situation at the time, it is not easy to get married. Zhang Liping sighed.
Indeed, in the context of that time, Chen Kai's grandmother was an unmarried son, and Chen Kai's father was obviously unable to marry a good family. I'm afraid that at most, it can only be used as a continuation for others.
"Grandma'......"
"Your grandmother took your dad alone when he was twelve or thirteen. In the next few years, your father relied on your uncles to survive. Later, when your father was older, he happened to be recruited in the army, and your father joined the army. ”
Zhang Liping said.
Chen Kai was silent for a while, his mood was a little heavy at the moment, he never knew what his father's childhood was like.
In the past, when he was young, his father spent more time in the army, and he had very little time to go home to accompany him, and he rarely heard his father mention his childhood, not to mention that Chen Kai was still young at that time, even if his father said something, he couldn't remember it.
Later, Chen Kai was just a little more sensible, and his father had an accident. He didn't have a chance to hear his father talk about it anymore. Chen Kai never knew that his father's childhood was much more bleak than his own.
Although I lost my father when I was very young, and I was raised by my mother alone, at least my mother has always brought me to such a big age, and I also met my master later, although the master also passed away not long ago.
However, compared with his father's childhood, Chen Kai felt that he was still much better.
"Mom, then later, did Dad still have any intersections with the people of the Song family?" Chen Kai took a deep breath and asked again.
Zhang Liping nodded, "Well, there have been a few times." Your father didn't tell me the details of the specific situation, but it shouldn't be very good, your father should be very resentful of the Song family. ”
After a pause, Zhang Liping continued: "Actually, when I married your father, someone from the Song family came, and that person personally came to deliver very valuable things. ”
"It's just that your dad threw things out in front of him at the time, and told him that he didn't welcome him and asked him to leave. There were quite a few people present, and your dad didn't pick out what he was talking about too clearly. ”
"He probably felt guilty about your dad, so after seeing your dad's attitude and reaction at the time, he just sighed and turned away."
"It was on that day that your father told me all these things. And he told me very resolutely that his surname is Chen, and he will always be surnamed Chen, and our children will only be surnamed Chen in the future. At that time, I understood that your father's resentment towards the Song family and that person was very deep, and it was almost impossible to untie the knot. ”
"Since then, your father has never mentioned the Song family to me, and I have never told him about it. It's just that I didn't expect that after so many years, the people of the Song family came to the door again. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Liping couldn't help but sigh lightly. For these things, she was also very embarrassed and sighed, out of Chen Kai's father's wishes, she naturally didn't want Chen Kai to have any entanglement with the people of the Song family.
Hearing his mother explain the whole thing clearly, Chen Kai took a deep breath to calm his heart, and then said: "Mom, don't worry, just like Dad's words, my surname is Chen, and I will always only be surnamed Chen." The Song family doesn't have anything to do with me! ”
"Hmm." Zhang Liping smiled, a little reluctantly. Originally, she thought that the Song family would not find it again, in that case, she would wait until one day in the future to inform Chen Kai about this matter, so that Chen Kai would know about such a thing.
But I didn't think that the people of the Song family would appear again after so many years. (To be continued......)
