As twilight approached, the black crown slowly drove away from the alley.
Tang Yuru's expression was haggard, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyebrows, and after a whole afternoon of painstaking persuasion, all she finally got was Mo Shaokun's words: "Let me think about it." ”
She could tell from that tone that it was just a coping statement, but she didn't blame Mo Shaokun, because she knew that this thing was indeed too sudden, and she might not be able to accept it for a while.
"Qin Qin, do you think that Shaokun kid will be willing to go back to the Tang family?" Tang Yuru couldn't help but turn her head to look at her daughter on the side and asked.
Qin Qin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know, he is different from other children." ”
Tang Yuru understood what her daughter meant, although she didn't get along with Mo Shaokun for a long time, they could clearly feel that this child was different from other peers.
Since he was a child, he was without his parents by his side, and he lived with an elderly lady, and these experiences and living environment doomed him to be much more mature than his peers.
"Hey, I really didn't expect him to be in Anping all along, if we had found him earlier, then he wouldn't have to suffer so much and suffer so much." Tang Yuru's eyes were a little red, and she could imagine Mo Shaokun's experience since she was a child without asking her, especially the half bowl of leftover rice that had been lingering in her mind.
"Mom, don't worry, I believe Shaokun is a sensible child, we need to give him some time to calm down and think about it."
"I know, but your grandfather can't wait if we wait, hey......" Tang Yuru was a little anxious.
Qin Qin's expression darkened slightly when he heard this, no one could say whether his grandfather's current situation would be able to survive. Her mood at the moment is not much better than that of her mother, on the contrary, she grew up with her grandfather and was doted on by her grandfather, more than anyone else, she hoped that Mo Shaokun could go back to fulfill her grandfather's wishes, but in order to take care of her mother's emotions, she could only force these to the bottom of her heart.
"Mom, do you want to tell your uncle about this?"
Tang Yuru frowned and thought about it, and finally shook her head and said, "Forget it, don't tell your uncle for the time being." If it weren't for his character, he would definitely rush to Anping as soon as possible, today's incident has made Shaokun a little unacceptable, if your brother-in-law comes over to add pressure to him at this time, I am afraid that it will backfire. ”
Qin Qin didn't say anything more, what his mother said was right, if she was putting pressure on him at this time, it might really backfire. Now it can only look at Mo Shaokun himself, if he can figure it out, it will naturally be the best, if he can't figure it out, then he can only take his time.
In the dimly lit cabin, Mo Shaokun lay on his back on the bed with his arms behind his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
The impact of today's events on him was too great, and he didn't expect that reincarnation would unexpectedly solve the mystery of his life experience!
Although he pretended to be calm in front of Tang Yuru's mother and daughter, he couldn't deceive himself.
The more people who have never felt family affection, the more they crave family affection, and he is no exception!
As he himself said, he has become accustomed to living alone, although he always has a modest smile on his face on weekdays, giving people the appearance of a sunny boy, but only he knows that in fact, his heart has always been closed.
In a way, he has always had low self-esteem, he always felt that his life was incomplete, because he was different from other people, he had no father, no mother, no relatives. Since childhood, he has had to learn to disguise himself, and he is like a hedgehog curled up with a strong exterior to hide his inner vulnerability.
He's always been reluctant to get into anyone's shijie, and he's also been resisting anyone coming into anyone's shijie.
He used to live for nearly forty years, but the only people who really got his approval and could enter his heart were Fang Dakui, Long Yufei and Mi Lin. If it weren't for his resistance, if it weren't for his rejection, if it weren't for his inferiority, I'm afraid that there might have been a result between him and Mi Lin a long time ago.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Shaokun rubbed his somewhat numb face and slowly got up.
Reaching out and touching his pocket, he not only smiled, he had not yet learned to smoke in high school, but at this time he suddenly wanted to smoke.
Leaving home and coming to the commissary at the entrance of the alley, Mo Shaokun bought a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, the spicy and choking breath ran down the throat, and he couldn't help coughing lightly.
"Shaokun, when did you learn to smoke?"
Uncle Sun's familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Mo Shaokun hurriedly threw away the cigarette in his hand like a child who had done something wrong, and turned to look at him with some embarrassment.
"Grandpa Sun, I'...... I'm just smoking and playing. Mo Shaokun scratched his head and explained, although he was nearly forty years old in his heart, he always felt that he was still a child in front of Uncle Sun and the neighbors.
"It's okay, smoke, you're eighteen years old, old man, I've been getting good at this since I was twelve." Uncle Sun smiled, looking at Mo Shaokun's eyes full of kindness.
Without waiting for Mo Shaokun to speak, Uncle Sun continued: "Have you eaten? ”
Mo Shaokun shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”
"Let's go, go to my house, your Uncle Baoqiang came back with a lot of dishes from the store today, I can't eat it alone, you can make do with two bites first."
Uncle Sun's son Sun Baoqiang opened a small restaurant near the university town, and every time there was an unsold dish, he would take it home, and whenever Uncle Sun would call Mo Shaokun to improve his food.
Uncle Baoqiang and his aunt usually live in the store at night, and Uncle Sun's other children also have their own families, and he lives alone in this empty courtyard on weekdays.
Mo Shaokun sat at the table and poked the food absentmindedly, if he usually saw these meat dishes, his eyes would light up, but now he really didn't have this thought.
As if seeing his strange appearance, Uncle Sun asked while stuffing tobacco into the smoking pot: "Shaokun, do you have something on your mind?" ”
"Huh? What do you say? Mo Shaokun raised his head blankly and looked at Uncle Sun, obviously he didn't hear what Uncle Sun said at all.
"Is there something going on?"
Mo Shaokun's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head.
"I grew up watching you grow up, although Mrs. Wang is gone, but our neighbors are all your relatives, if you encounter anything that can't be solved, don't hide it from me." Uncle Sun lit the dry smoke, chirped, chirped, and said slowly.
Mo Shaokun bit his lip, and after a moment, he took a deep breath and looked up at Uncle Sun, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak.
"Is it because of the two big bosses who came here at noon today?" Uncle Sun asked, in fact, he didn't know what those two women did, but in the eyes of these civilians, as long as there are rich people, it is always right to call the big boss.
Mo Shaokun nodded.
"The two big bosses came at noon, and I didn't leave until I just left, and I knew there must be something going on. Don't be afraid, tell grandpa, no matter what trouble we have, we will still be in trouble. Uncle Sun's face was pale, and he tapped the table with a cigarette pot.
Mo Shaokun's heart was warm, and for a while his mind seemed to be a lot clearer, family affection? What is family affection? Uncle Sun, isn't this kind of affection for themselves just family affection? Although they are not their relatives, they have been caring about themselves for so many years, what is the difference between them and their relatives?
Immediately, Mo Shaokun no longer hesitated to tell Uncle Sun what had happened.
Uncle Sun didn't speak until he finished listening, then he frowned slightly and looked at Mo Shaokun and said, "Shaokun, what do you think in your own heart?" ”
"I ...... I do not know. ”
"Silly boy, listening to you say this, it was not the Tang family's fault that your mother left the Tang family at the beginning, and the Tang family has been looking for your mother all these years, and your father has been staying alone in the empty house for your mother for more than ten years, it can be said that the Tang family has been regarded as a great love and righteousness."
After taking two puffs of cigarettes, Uncle Sun continued: "Your grandfather is seriously ill and hospitalized now, don't say that the Tang family is not sorry for your mother, even if the Tang family is really sorry for your mother, you should go back and have a look at this time." The most important thing in being a person is to have a clear conscience, no matter what others do or say, as long as you do what you should do, it will do. ”
There was a muffled bang in Mo Shaokun's head, and Uncle Sun's words undoubtedly untied the knot in his heart.
Perhaps, as Qin Qin said, he was too selfish.
The Tang family is not wrong, and neither is the mother, which era is wrong. If the old man died with regret because he refused to go back to see Old Man Tang, wouldn't it be too cruel?
"Go, go back and see your grandfather, the so-called blood is thicker than water, even if you don't want to return to the Tang family, but it is always right to go back and see the seriously ill old man. This life is short for decades, don't wait until you miss it to regret it. ”
