Chapter Ninety-One: Two by Two
In the study, Chu Tianxing poured himself a small cup after making tea, and when he was about to pour it for Lin Yuhao, he brought the tea back, took a big teacup, and poured him a cup of boiled water.
"Uncle, what is this?" Lin Yuhao looked at the tea in front of Chu Tianxing in confusion, and then looked at the boiled water in front of him, and asked Chu Tianxing with some grievances.
"It's aggrieved, isn't it? You are only allowed to drink plain water today! Chu Tianxing picked up the teacup and tasted it to himself.
"It's good to drink plain water, it's good to drink plain water!" Lin Yuhao picked up the boiled water and said, as long as his uncle didn't mention Chu Ning's failure to return last night, he didn't drink it.
"After a night's rest, I look in good spirits." After Chu Tianxing took a sip of tea, he stared at Lin Yuhao with sharp eyes.
"It's all right, thanks to my uncle's treatment last night." Lin Yuhao lowered his eyebrows and replied pleasing to his eyes.
"Oh! Look at your spirit, you must have thought about it, just think about it! Your mother doesn't have to worry about you stirring up trouble. β
"I've really lost my temper these days, which makes my mother and you, as well as my aunt and Chu Ning worried." Lin Yuhao said sincerely.
"Yu Hao, you told your uncle, have you really adjusted your mentality?"
"Yes, uncle, it actually takes a long process from hate to love, the reason why my mother doesn't hate him is because she has healed her injuries for so many years before she can face it calmly, and my life in the past few days is ups and downs, and my state of mind is like a stormy sea can not be calm, a variety of emotions are impacted, it is indeed a little unbearable, but I finally survived. In the following days, if the storm comes again, I should stand up and protect my mother and Yuhan, and protect everyone around me. β
"You can think like this, it proves that you have indeed figured it out, but Uncle asks you, did you blame us for hiding from you back then?"
"At first, there were, but after a few days of reflection, I finally understood that you were just out of protection for me and Yuhan, but I was very curious, since I was sensible, I knew that you and Dad were brothers with different surnames who were like blood back then, but I didn't know that you had experienced so many ups and downs together?"
"Count the time, if your father is still alive, then we will be brothers for almost forty years, I have known your father and I when we were about ten years old, at that time, we were all children of poor families, and we were too poor to wear new clothes during the New Year's holidays; I was sick and looked down on the doctor, so at a very young age, the two of us vowed that one would become a top fashion designer in the future, so that the family would wear the most beautiful clothes; One who wants to be the best doctor in the future, so that his family will no longer be tormented by illness. β
"So over the years, you have not only let your family no longer endure the pain of the disease, but also saved lives in the hospital, and even more responded to the needs of patients in nearby villages." After listening to Chu Tianxing's narration, Lin Yuhao said with emotion.
"As a doctor! As long as it is a patient, it is his duty, but my wish has come true, but your father is--" Chu Tianxing thought of Lin Yuting, and his eyes immediately dimmed, but the next second, his eyes regained their brilliance.
"But fortunately, you continued your father's wishes."
"If Dad is here, he'll give me more." Lin Yuhao said gloomily.
"Don't have too many regrets, in fact, the essence of your father has been recorded in that thick notebook, which he spent many years of hard work to make, and it is also something that your mother has always regarded as a treasure."
"Yes! Although I rarely open it now, my mother still opens it often, and it looks at it all day, and I think every time my mother looks at it, she must be missing her father again. β
"Yu Hao, if the Fang family comes again, it may not be the same scene as it was back then, but it may stir up some storms, for example, he wants your mother to return to the Fang family and let you go back to Jiangcheng together?" Chu Tianxing pondered.
"This is impossible, and my mother will not agree, in fact, I have discussed with my mother, and I respect her decision in everything, but I have my bottom line, that is, in front of the Fang family, I maintain my attitude. In addition, at work, I will never be hypocritical, after all, the current achievements are my own efforts, and I will only have more respect and gratitude when I get along with Shen Dong in the future. β
"At this point, you are much more flexible than your father, alas! I never thought that Shen Yankang would be your owner, and the dean of 'Shen Yuan' was your aunt. In this world, there are too many coincidences, Shen Yankang is a rare and admirable upright gentleman, just creating people! Your father was hired by him back then, but I didn't expect you to ...... now, which may be the so-called fate. β
The sound of Ye Mei and Lin Jinwen discussing how to prepare the New Year's dinner came from the kitchen, obviously Lin Jinwen had already come, but he didn't disturb Chu Tianxing and Lin Yuhao in the study, but went directly into the kitchen. After Lin Yuhao listened to his mother's long-lost laughter, his mood couldn't help but become comfortable.
"Uncle, how about we kill a few rounds?"
"Why not?"
β¦β¦
Ye Mei and Lin Jinwen were busy in the kitchen for two or three hours, when the reunion dinner was ready, it was already past noon, when Chu Tianxing went upstairs to ask Chu Ning to have the reunion dinner, but saw that his daughter's door was locked, and when he knocked on the door and entered, he saw Chu Ning sitting on the bed silently.
"Good daughter, mom has called you downstairs several times, haven't you heard?" Chu Tianxing stepped forward and stroked Chu Ning's hair.
"Dadβ" Chu Ning suddenly got up and fell into Chu Tianxing's arms.
"Good daughter, can you tell Dad what happened?" Facing his daughter's sudden intimacy, Chu Tianxing's face became solemn, his daughter hadn't been so intimate with him for a long time, presumably something happened just now.
"Dad, I heard what you just said to Brother Yu Hao, I don't know that you and Uncle Lin have experienced so many ups and downs back then, it sounds like the grievances of the previous generation seem to be a little intertwined, as an outsider, I just think about it, my heart is like turning over the river and the sea, I can't be calm, thinking about everything Brother Yu Hao has faced in the past few days, my heart feels very uncomfortable."
"Silly girl, it turns out that you have been locking yourself in the room, all of you are feeling sorry for Yu Hao, things have passed, Dad didn't want to talk to Yu Hao about this, but as the eldest son, he has the responsibility to know the grievances and grievances of the previous generation, which he must bear in his life, you see, hasn't he survived? And Hu He can also resolve these grievances with the right attitude, so you don't have to be so uncomfortable. β
"Daddy, can I know all this?" Chu Ning nodded and asked apprehensively.
"Of course, as long as Yu Hao can face it, it is no longer a secret, but it is up to Yu Hao to tell you all this."
"I understand, when there is a suitable opportunity, I will ask Brother Yu Hao again. Dad, I want to know, do Brother Yu Hao and Uncle Lin look alike? β
"Well, let me think about it, it's like, it's not like. The temperament is very similar, but the appearance is not very similar. In terms of personality, he is stubborn and persistent; A steady, flexible. β
"Then I still think that Brother Yu Hao's character is more acceptable to me, of course, Uncle Lin also has the advantages of Uncle Lin......"
"I said, my good daughter, let's wait until we have a New Year's dinner before discussing this topic, okay? If you don't go down, your Aunt Lin and Brother Yu Hao will have to wait for a long time. Chu Tianxing pinched Chu Ning's flushed face and said helplessly.
After eating the reunion dinner, according to the practice of previous years, Chu Ning must have set off fireworks on the rooftop of Lin Yuhan's house, but this year Lin Yuhan was absent, but fortunately, Lin Yuhao took the initiative to fill this vacancy.
"Brother Yu Hao, although the fireworks are the same every year, why do you always get tired of watching them?" Chu Ning sighed as he looked at the fireworks in the sky.
When I was a child, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, after eating the New Year's dinner, Chu Ning and the Lin family brothers would go to the rooftop to set off fireworks, but as he grew older, Lin Yuhao was less willing to light the fireworks himself, but preferred to directly enjoy the colorful night sky.
"Yes! Remember when we were kids? Lin Yuhao, who had been looking up at the flickering night sky, said.
"Of course I remember, at that time, Brother Yu Han would take the lead in lighting fireworks, I remember one year, he accidentally lit the padded jacket when he lit the fire, and was beaten by his father! In the future, he will learn to be obedient, every time you wait for the fireworks to be lit, he will directly grab it, and he also said ruffianly that the elder brother should take care of his younger brothers and sisters. Chu Ning remembered the interesting story when she was a child, and immediately talked about it with relish.
"Yes! Childhood, as if it had just happened yesterday, is fascinating. After Lin Yuhao finished speaking, he turned around and looked in the far northwest direction, his back was lonely and lonely!
Chu Ning silently looked at Lin Yuhao, who was getting thinner and thinner in the night sky, and after a long time, she also looked in the direction that Lin Yuhao was looking at:
"Presumably, Brother Yu Han at this moment is also admiring the lights of thousands of homes like us!"
"Chu Ning--" Lin Yuhao suddenly turned around, so he looked at each other, an indescribable emotion, which was breeding in the hearts of the two of them at the moment, may be the effect of alcohol, Lin Yuhao seemed to have forgotten the impenetrable feelings he had collected for many years, and he had already collapsed under Chu Ning's silent gaze.
"Chu Ningβ" Lin Yuhao called out to Chu Ning again.
"Brother Yuhaoβ" Chu Ning responded this time, but her eyes still never left Lin Yuhao for half an inch.
Suddenly, Lin Yuhao stretched out his hands and gently hugged Chu Ning into his arms, although this hug was separated by a gentleman's distance, Chu Ning still felt the warmth from Lin Yuhao's body.
"May you never be a child!" Lin Yuhao muttered.
Time seems to have stood still at this moment, Chu Ning was suffocated for a moment, and this natural intimacy between her and Lin Yuhao seemed to have not appeared for many years. Especially in the past few years, whether it is intentional or unintentional avoidance, there has never been a hug between them even if it belongs to brother and sister, and some are just cold smiles and appropriate care.
