Chapter 136: Two wicks
In the box of the hotel, we sat down around the table, and after a while, dishes came up one after another, Angel and I are both engaged in the catering industry, and have a strong ability to distinguish the dishes, and the dishes ordered by my aunt must be made of the top ingredients in all the hotels in this small town.
This detail makes me a little sad, I understand that over the years, my little aunt has been trying her best to make up for the pain caused unconsciously, so she will give me the best, give Pippi the best, but I often treat her with a cold face......
My family was silent, and so was Angel and I.
Silence is a guilt, an embarrassment, for my family, but for Angel and I it is the most powerful declaration that we will be together.
Pippi looked at the table full of dishes, eager to try, but no one moved the chopsticks, and he didn't dare to move, looking at you for a while, looking at him for a while, and being very melancholy.
Angel finally touched Pippi's head and said, "Eat, tough guy!" ”
"Dad, can I eat it!"
I nodded and said to everyone, "Eat it everyone, hot food is better than cold food!" ”
My family looked at me, and as people with life experience, they all understood what I meant when I said "hot food is better than cold food", in fact, I hope that the family will be lively and homely together.
......
The meal was eaten in silence from beginning to end, and I was not surprised by this silence from beginning to end, because I didn't know what to say, or whatever was said was not right, so I simply kept this tacit understanding and accepted the fact that Angel and I were about to be together.
The waiter came to the box and asked who would pay, and the uncle hurriedly took out his wallet and pulled out a stack of cash to hand it to the waiter.
Anqi, who was closest to the waiter, took out her wallet from her handbag, took out her bank card, handed it to the waiter, and said, "Swipe the card!" ”
The little aunt beside her hurriedly pressed Anqi's hand holding the card and said, "How can I let you please!" ”
An Qi smiled and said, "I didn't have time to buy you some gifts in a hurry with Yixi, it's good to invite you to dinner!" ”
Maybe Angel is high and awe-inspiring in the eyes of others, but at this moment, in front of my family, she is just my Zhang Yixi's girlfriend, maintaining respect and respect for her elders.
I got up and said to everyone, "Here are my parents, my aunt and uncle, and my son...... Girlfriend, so don't fight any of you, I should invite you to this meal! ”
All eyes are on me, and there is no doubt that I am the core of this family at this moment, and when they agree with me, it means that from this moment on, we are a family.
Angel and my aunt put down their hands at the same time, I nodded heavily, took out my bank card from my wallet and handed it to the waiter, motioning for her to go to the checkout.
......
While waiting, the father, who had been silent, finally whispered to Anqi: "We didn't expect that after 2 years, you would be the last one to be with Yixi...... There is a fate between people, even if you go around in circles and walk the road, you still remember where the place where you first started, as long as you remember it in your heart, you still have to walk back after all...... You and Yixi are like two wicks screwed together, but we have disgracefully peeled you apart alive......"
Dad's emotions were a little excited, and he stopped for a long time before he said: "We peeled you apart, and we thought that if we peeled off the two wicks, we would be able to illuminate a place each...... In the past two years, Yixi has tossed enough, and we have seen it..... Only when the wicks are screwed together and matched with lamp oil can life be illuminated..... Seeing you together now, we can't say what it's like to be in our hearts...... It was our wrong decision that has tormented you for two years....... Finally, let's just say that in the future, you and Yixi will be like two wicks screwed together, and we will be your lamp oil..... Everyone lives a good life, better than anything else! ”
......
The stubborn and arrogant Angel has been crying silently at this moment, I understand that the recognition and apology of her family at this moment have made her two years of hard waiting have come to fruition, in the face of hard-won results, all the grievances and pain, but so obvious, under the interweaving of joy and sorrow, she finally cried like a child.
The little aunt held Anqi in her arms, and she couldn't cry anymore: "I'm sorry, it's my stupidity and stubbornness that have made you and Yixi suffer for so many years..... I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"
Angel just shook her head, but she was already sobbing and speechless, no matter how strong and proud she was, after all, she was just a woman who longed for love, but once couldn't get love.
I breathed deeply, so that the tears did not fall, as if all the suffering I had endured in the past was just for a relief in the present...... The cost is too high, but it is still a joy.
......
Outside the hotel, my uncle drove away with his family, leaving the space for me and Angel.
The snow had turned the world white, and Angel and I looked at each other.
I took the cigarette case out of my pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and spit it out heavily.
"My dad said we were two wicks!"
"Hmm!"
"We're screwed together now!"
Angel looked at me suspiciously, not knowing what I was trying to say.
"But we're short of some oil." I finally said to Angel.
"Your dad said they were our lamp oil!"
"It's not enough!"
Angel smiled: "Marriage is not just for two people, but also for two families, so you hope that my family will also become the lamp oil that helps us light it, right?" ”
"Yes, I think we're getting more and more acquiescent about husband and wife!"
"Who is husband and wife with you!"
"Don't you want to marry me!"
Angel was stunned for a moment, and her mood was obviously low.
"What's wrong, did I say something wrong?" I asked nervously.
Angel shook her head and said, "It's none of your business. After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the car, but her figure looked a little lonely, this loneliness made me nervous, and I couldn't see through it.
I caught up with her and hugged her tightly: "If you have anything on your mind, you must talk to her, let's face it together!" ”
Angel shook her head: "Don't worry about it, I don't have anything on my mind..... Don't you want my family to be our lamp oil! ”
I nodded.
"Decide for yourself when you have time to meet my dad with me!"
As soon as Angel's words fell, I suddenly felt that my legs were weak, and I was still cheering myself up and persuading me to go to see Angel's family, but when I really heard Angel mention it, I was instantly afraid.
This fear was not because of cowardice, but because of shamelessness and guilt, I hurt his daughter so badly that although Angel had forgiven me, I was extremely weak in the face of her father.
Subconsciously, I always felt that her dad would not give me a good time...... I hope this is just my delusion of persecution,
