Zhong Shan traveled back and forth from south to north, delayed for more than two weeks, although the unit did not urge, but he also knew that it was time to go back to work. Moreover, the old father is 81 years old and lives alone, although his body is still quite tough, he is not at ease. Especially after this experience of searching for relatives, he cared more for this old father who was not related to him by blood, and felt that he should do more filial piety in the rest of the old man's life.

Although Qiu Yueyue had already reported to her father-in-law how Zhong Shan found his relatives after she came back, Zhong Shan once again told the old father every detail of the matter, of course, he did not convey the words of thanks of the Liu family, but just said that his father's family was living very well over there, and he didn't need to worry about it, he just needed to go and see the old man during the Spring Festival.

Zhong Shulin said with emotion: "Blood is thicker than water!" You should go back often when you have the opportunity to make up for the lack of affection in the past few decades. ”

Zhong Shan said: "My father over there still has three children, you are my only son, and my mother is gone, of course I have to devote my main energy to taking care of you and making your old age happy." ”

The son has never spoken to his old father in such a tone since he was a child, and Zhong Shulin seems to hear the estrangement and alienation from his son's excessive politeness.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhong Shulin seemed to have finally mustered up the courage and said: "Director Zou of the radio and television station, she has been retired for a few years, I often met her in the park a while ago, and she was still alone, looking very lonely and pitiful. I thought, if you don't object, we'll spend the rest of our lives together. However, it is still the same sentence, we really did not have a relationship for a long time, but two lonely old men slowly cultivated a little flame of affection. ”

Zhong Shan said happily: "Okay, good, Dad's charm has not diminished!" Although Director Zou has retired, he is also the best among the old ladies, and not every old man can climb the high branches. ”

This time, the conversation between father and son finally closed the beat.

At noon on Saturday, Zhong Shan and Qiu Yueyue arranged at Fengyue Tavern to invite Zhong Shulin and Zou Jingzhi to have a reunion dinner together to formalize the relationship between the two old men. Zou Jing had no children, and the two of them had full authority to handle this matter on behalf of the younger generation.

Zhong Shulin was dressed up with Qiu Yueyue's help, a beige jacket with a red and white plaid shirt, camel-colored suspender trousers, and a childish face, like an old returned overseas Chinese. Zou Jingzhi wore a crimson hollow gold velvet long-sleeved cheongsam, a silver lily brooch, and her short gray hair was carefully permed, and the whole person looked extraordinary.

When Qiu Yueyue went to the booth with Zhong Shan to order, she whispered: "Our father is not shallow, this Aunt Zou has such a good temperament, and I have been compared to it all at once." ”

The six dishes came up in turn, Zhong Shan and Qiu Yueyue got up and poured red wine into the cups of the two old men. Zhong Shan said: "Welcome to Director Zou", Qiu Yueyue hurriedly corrected, "Wrong, wrong, you should be called Aunt Zou", Zhong Shan smiled again and said, "Yes, Aunt Zou, after decades of ups and downs, I finally got together with my old father." Providence is merciful to the grass, and the world is sunny at night. I hope that the two old people will cherish this hard-won friendship and rely on each other in their future lives and be happy for a long time. As the younger generation, we express our determination here: first, live our own lives well and do not cause chaos to the elderly; The second is that if there is anything that the two old people need us to do, they will be in place as soon as possible, and there will be no ambiguity. Cheers to the happiness of our big family! ”

Zhong Shulin said: "My old man is here to make a statement, take care of his body, try not to make trouble for you, and don't drag Xiao Zou down." ”

Zou Jingzhi looked at the old dream lover who had already passed, and was full of emotion about life, but he couldn't talk about it, so he could only express it with a smile.

All four raised their cups in their hands, creating a happy and peaceful atmosphere.
