Huang Tingting first came to Wang's house with her father before liberation, in order to return Wang Yunqing's famous painting that was stolen and sold, and in the following years, she and her father had to visit Wang Yunqing and his wife every New Year's holiday. But since she heard that Wang Hongju married another woman, Huang Tingting has never come to Wang's house again. When Huang Tingting walked into the Wang family's compound this time, the scene she saw in front of her was not quite the same as the memory in her mind. The original neat and elegant courtyard has become a chaotic courtyard, each family has built a house of different sizes in front of its own house, the original spacious courtyard has become a mess, some people are lighting a honeycomb coal stove with pungent smoke in the yard, a few children are chasing and making trouble, the adult door is loudly reprimanding the disobedient children in the yard, and there is some garbage and dirty water on the ground. Wang Yunqing's family is no longer the owner of this compound, and it has only been more than ten years before Wang Yunqing's compound has completely collapsed, Huang Tingting frowned sadly when she looked at everything in front of her.

Huang Tingting didn't know if Wang Yunqing still lived here, but when she asked a neighbor where Wang Yunqing lived, the neighbor enthusiastically took her to a small house in the West Cross Courtyard.

Huang Tingting stood in front of the door of the hut and knocked lightly, "Who?" An old man's voice came from inside the room.

"Is it Uncle Wang? I'm Tingting Huang. ”

"Who are you?" The old man in the room didn't hear clearly, so he asked again.

Huang Tingting raised her voice and said, "Uncle, I'm Huang Tingting!" ”

"Squeak", the door opened, and an old man with silver hair walked out, the old man was stunned for a moment when he saw Huang Tingting, and then immediately smiled in surprise, "Oops! Isn't this Tingting? You're a rare guest, I really didn't expect you to come to see me, please come in! ”

"Hello uncle!" Huang Tingting bowed deeply to Wang Yunqing, and when she raised her head, she was already excited with tears in her eyes.

"Tingting, you should be happy to come to see me, why are you crying?"

"Uncle. I haven't seen you for many years, I miss you so much! ”

"Good boy, don't cry, let's go into the house and talk." After Wang Yunqing let Huang Tingting into the house, he called Gui Fang, who lived next door, over. Gui Fang had seen Huang Tingting earlier, and she was also very surprised when she saw Huang Tingting, busy making tea and pouring water to entertain the guests.

After Huang Tingting sat down, she carefully looked at Wang Yunqing, who was sitting opposite, and saw that Wang Yunqing's face was thin, his cheeks were collapsed, his forehead was full of deep wrinkles, and his original straight body leaned forward slightly, with a melancholy that could not be concealed. She said sadly: "Uncle, I don't know how to do it. In the past few years, your family has suffered a lot of grievances and blows, and your aunt has also passed away. In the most difficult moment of your life, don't be sad if you want to open, take care of your body! ”

Wang Yunqing laughed heartily after hearing this: "Tingting, life cannot always be smooth sailing, if you are blessed, you will enjoy the disaster, this is life." I've been thinking about it now! ”

Gui Fang interjected: "My old man often admonished me: As long as a person can reach the spiritual realm of selflessness, desirelessness and desirelessness, he will abandon all his troubles, and there will only be peace and happiness in his heart. I said he was making a fool of himself. But he doesn't like to listen to it, but says that I am an ordinary man who suffers from gains and losses all day long in the red dust! ”

Huang Tingting said to Gui Fang: "Sister-in-law, what my uncle said is right! It is a kind of psychotherapy, not self-deception, and that kind of psychotherapy can make people open-minded. ”

"Ha Lu Ha. Gui Fang. I'm right! Wang Yunqing smiled happily when he saw that Huang Tingting agreed with his point of view.

Gui Fang also smiled and said: "Tingting, my old man has always been on the right side, when he is right!" ”

Wang Yunqing looked at Huang Tingting with loving eyes, and he said, "Tingting." I've always wanted you to be my daughter-in-law, but nothing good happens. But if you can't be my daughter-in-law, you can also be my goddaughter! Who knows that since you know that Lu Daohongju has not come to my house since he got married, I have been thinking about you all these years! I know you feel wronged. I have always had a knot in my heart that I can't solve. But I have to be fair to Hongju, it's not that he doesn't cherish your affection, but that one of his friends withheld his correspondence with you, which caused a great misunderstanding between you. When Hongju learned the truth of the matter, although he regretted it very much, it was already difficult to recover! He has repeatedly said in his letters that he is ashamed of you, and that if time could be reversed, he would be willing to do it again with you. Tingting, I hope you can understand Hongju. ”

Huang Tingting said very sincerely: "Uncle, the two of us didn't come together, and I am also responsible!" I can understand Hongju. I haven't come to see you because I'm embarrassed to come, it's my fault! ”

"Tingting, you and Brother Hongju are really a very good couple, how good it would be if I had a concubine like you, but it's a pity that God doesn't help people! It's a beautiful woman like you who is still single! Gui Fang said with emotion.

Huang Tingting explained with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I think it's good to be single, and I live freely. If there's a big man hanging around me all day, I'm not used to it! ”

Wang Yunqing saw that the topic was a little embarrassed, so he changed the conversation, and he asked, "Tingting, your father, is he okay?" We haven't seen each other in two years. ”

Huang Tingting nodded and said, "Uncle, my father asked me to come to see you, and he asked me to pass on a message to you, he wants to see you and Uncle Feng." ”

"Your Uncle Feng was driven back to his hometown and never came back, and he can't look down on your father."

"Oh, then you can go alone."

"Your father is in Wuqi cadre school, how can I go to see him?"

"My dad is back in town now."

"What kind of medicine did this old guy buy in his gourd? Since he's back, and wants to see me at any time, why did he send you to deliver the message? After Wang Yunqing finished speaking, he realized that Huang Tingting bit her lip tightly and her expression was very unnatural. He asked with concern: "Tingting, what's wrong with you?" ”

"My dad can't come to see you!" Huang Tingting looked sad.

Wang Yunqing asked anxiously: "Tingting, did Lao Huang have an accident?" ”

Huang Tingting wiped her tears and said, "My dad was diagnosed with cancer and will have surgery tomorrow. He is afraid that it will be difficult to see you again in this life, so he wants to meet you again. ”

"Huh? My wife died of cancer, why did Lao Huang get this fatal disease? Wang Yunqing's eyes widened in surprise.

"Uncle, my dad has been mentally depressed in recent years! His illness may have been choked out of a stomach full of resentment! Huang Tingting was so sad that she burst into tears. Gui Fang turned around and walked out of the house, and when she came back, she handed Huang Tingting a clean wet towel to wipe her face.

Wang Yunqing comforted Huang Tingting with kind words and said: "Don't be sad, your father's illness may not be serious, and there will be no problem if the tumor is partially removed!" ”

"The doctor said he wouldn't survive too long."

"Hey! I can't believe all the doctor's words! An old colleague of mine was diagnosed with liver cancer a few years ago, and the doctor told his family that he would live for about a year at most. After he learned about it, he simply stopped treating it and traveled alone with a bag, saying that he wanted to see all the well-known scenic spots before he died. As a result, he traveled for several years, and he didn't die after seeing almost all the famous scenic spots in the country, and he came to see me some time ago, and he looked better than me with a red face! ”

Gui Fang also said thoughtfully: "Yes, I have also seen this person, he said that this cancer is caused by heart disease, if you don't take it to heart, this disease may be able to heal itself!" ”

Huang Tingting knew that they were comforting themselves, so she stopped crying. chatted with Wang Yunqing and Gui Fang again. While they were chatting, Han Ming and his sister Yuqing came home from school, and they came to see their grandfather without seeing Gui Fang.

When the two children entered the house, they saw a strange aunt sitting in their grandfather's house, so they greeted them in unison and said, "Hello auntie! ”

Huang Tingting liked these two lovely children very much, she stood up and touched the child's shoulder and said kindly: "Little classmate, hello! ”

Gui Fang pointed to the two children and introduced Huang Tingting: "This boy's name is Wang Hanming, and the girl's name is Wang Yuqing, both of them are my children. I also have an eldest son named Wang Hanqiang, who hasn't come back from school yet. ”

Wang Yunqing then corrected and said: "This Han Ming is actually Hongju's son, and after Hongju was reformed through labor, he asked someone to send his son back to be raised by us. ”

"Oh." Huang Tingting heard that Han Ming was Wang Hongju's son. She looked at Hamming very curiously.

Although Wang Hanming looks like his mother Lin Meijiao, his face and demeanor are still very similar to his father Wang Hongju, and he has inherited the good genes of his parents well.

The more Huang Tingting looked at it, the more she liked the child Han Ming, and she said to Wang Yunqing happily: "Uncle." There are some parts of Han Ming's body that are simply a copy of Hongju, and seeing him is equivalent to seeing his father! After saying that, she called Han Ming over, and hugged the child affectionately in her arms and looked at it again. Hamming lowered his head a little shyly.

Gui Fang jokingly said to Han Ming: "Han Ming, if your father and Aunt Huang got married back then. Your current mother should be Aunt Huang. In the future, you will call Aunt Huang Mom! ”

Han Ming heard what his aunt said, so he looked up at Huang Tingting. Han Ming's beautiful big eyes made Huang Tingting's heart move, she felt that these eyes were too similar to Wang Hongju, as if she saw Wang Hongju hiding in the child's eyes and quietly watching herself. She caressed Han Ming's head tenderly, and couldn't help but kiss the child's face.

Wang Yunqing saw that Huang Tingting liked Han Ming so much, so he said: "Tingting, I see that you like Han Ming very much, you don't have children, just let him be your godson!" ”

Huang Tingting looked at Han Ming's eyes and said, "What are you doing as a godson?" If you want to do it, you will be a son, and your son will be called mother! With that, she kissed Hamming on the cheek again.

Hamming was a very well-behaved child, and he liked this beautiful and loving aunt very much, and although he was ashamed, he still called out quietly: "Mommy." ”

Han Ming's mother called Huang Tingting's heart warm, and at the same time aroused her thoughts about Wang Hongju, she hugged Han Ming tightly and said: "Han Ming, my good boy, I want to be your own mother!" ”

Wang Yunqing and Gui Fang were both moved by Huang Tingting's true feelings. At this time, the careful Huang Tingting suddenly found two or three scratches on Han Ming's neck, so she asked with concern: "Han Ming, why was your neck scratched?" Who bullied you? ”

Han Ming hesitated and said, "That, that one I didn't pay attention to, it's okay!" ”

Yuqing, who was standing beside Gui Fang, told the truth, "Auntie, just now my brother and I were on our way home from school, a group of children threw stones at us behind the two of us, they called my brother a little rightist, and I was called Miss Stink. We ignored them, and they followed us all the time, and then my brother got into a fight with them when he was in a hurry. ”

Yuqing wanted to continue, but Han Ming hurriedly stopped her with his eyes.

Wang Yunqing saw that Han Ming was anxious to give Yuqing a look, so he said in a stern tone: "Han Ming, you tell me the truth, you fought with others again today, didn't you?" ”

Huang Tingting saw that Han Ming bowed his head and was silent, so she asked Han Ming to stand in front of her and tell the truth. Han Ming saw Huang Tingting looking at him with encouraging eyes, so he nodded silently, indicating that he had a fight today.

Gui Fang pulled Han Ming angrily and reproached him and said: "You kid is really not worrying, how many times have I told you, if someone bullies you, you will hide, you must not fight with the children outside, you have broken others, we have to apologize to others, not to mention that we have to pay for medicine, if you are beaten by others, you will be beaten in vain." Besides, if you're broken. How we explain it to your dad! ”

Hamming explained: "Auntie, those bad kids have to bully me and my sister every day after school, I don't want to fight, I can't get angry enough to fight with them." ”

Gui Fang said again: "Han Ming, we are people who are short of breath now, and we can't help but have to endure it!" In the future, if someone bullies you again, you will run to your house as soon as possible. Remember! ”

"Humph! I'm afraid of them! Hamming said, stiffening his neck.

Yuqing said to her brother: "That's it, my brother is not afraid of them!" My brother rushed over and hit several of them alone, and in a few moments he knocked them away. ”

Hearing Yuqing say this, Han Ming also came to the mood. He stood in the middle of the room and set up a boxing stance, "I tell you, no matter how powerful they are, they are afraid of me, I use the fighting skills that my grandfather taught me." A jab in the left hand, an uppercut in the right hand, plus a left whip leg and a right split, those children were bleeding from their noses and crying in the first few strokes. One more swing of my fist, and the kids were scared away! After Han Ming finished speaking, he puffed up his chest proudly, and clenched his small fists and made a boxing stance.

Wang Yunqing was amused by Han Ming. He pointed to Han Ming and said to Huang Tingting: "Han Ming has the same personality as his father, you will know what Lu Daohongju was like when you saw Han Ming!" ”

Huang Tingting looked at Han Ming's majestic appearance and burst out laughing, she said: "Han Ming's fight reminds me of the scene when we had a student tide, I was caught by the police during a demonstration, and Hong raised three punches and two kicks to knock the policeman down." They are both experts in fighting, and this two men are so similar! ”

Gui Fang was dissatisfied and said, "Hi! Isn't this all taught by his grandfather the ability to fight! If you break someone's house, you'll cause trouble at home! ”

When Wang Yunqing saw Gui Fang say this, he made a straight face and said to Han Ming: "Han Ming, grandpa taught you martial arts to strengthen your body, not to fight. It's better to stay away when you see those children in the future, because if you don't see them, you won't be able to fight. You remembered it for me! ”

Han Ming said aggrievedly: "But there are always a few children in the school who intercept us on the way home, either beat us or scold us with ugly words, and sometimes rob us of things, and we can't hide!" ”

Gui Fang said: "Then you can't fight, if you are bullied, you can report it to the teacher!" ”

"Hey." Han Ming reluctantly agreed, and then he muttered in a low voice, "The teacher doesn't care about this!" ”

Gui Fang said to Huang Tingting unhappily: "Han Ming, this kid is good, but he is too stubborn, as long as he thinks it is right, he will not admit his mistake, you criticize him and he is still not convinced!" ”

Huang Tingting pulled Han Ming into her arms again, and she said to Wang Yunqing and Gui Fang: "Since I am Han Ming's godmother, I have to protect Han Ming today." To be fair, we should not generalize the accusations of children fighting, and we must understand what children are fighting for and what they are fighting. I think Hamming's fight today is right! Why should he be bullied because his father is a rightist? Why are the fathers of those children who are not rightists and can bully people casually? Those children are generally soft and afraid of hard, and if Hamming doesn't give them something powerful, they will always be bullied! This kid has blood and backbone, and in this respect he is very much like his father, I like it! ”

Huang Tingting said that Wang Yunqing nodded again and again, and Gui Fang smiled and said nothing.

Huang Tingting couldn't calm down after coming out of Wang Yunqing's house, and she didn't know if she fell in love with Han Ming because she still loved Wang Hongju in her heart, or because Han Ming looked too much like Wang Hongju and tried to find Wang Hongju's shadow in Han Ming.

After repeated thinking, an idea gradually formed in Huang Tingting's mind, in order to let Han Ming have a living environment that no longer be bullied, in order to reduce the financial pressure of Gui Fang's family, and in order to make up for the lack of feelings between her and Wang Hongju, she had a plan to adopt Han Ming in her heart.
