[Fame and fortune have fallen, loyalty and forgiveness have left, but fortunately, the true love in the world will continue. All life encounters have causes and effects, some can be chosen by themselves, and some are involuntarily. Today's people don't see the ancient times and the moon, but this month once looked like the ancients. That round of the moon witnessed how many gatherings and dispersions in the world and disturbed one after another. 】

The Zhong family's three-bedroom house, originally inhabited by the old couple, has been deserted, but now that the old lady is gone, it seems more and more empty.

The door to the old lady's bedroom was open, and the room was still as simple and clean as it was yesterday when she was busy going in and out of it. The photo of the old lady hanging in the bedroom when she was young, with a round baby face and wearing a double-breasted Lenin suit with a pinched waist, marks the youth that a person once had, and now it is a posthumous photo.

Zhong Shan and his father, Zhong Shulin, sat on the only two black sofas in the living room with worn leather surfaces across an old wooden coffee table. The cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table were already pointed, and the small space in the living room was full of smoke, and now I could no longer hear the old lady's nagging of "let's take a few puffs".

Zhong Shulin talked about the accidental death of his father when he was a teenager, to leaving home to join the army when he was young, to working in a local area after changing jobs, to his married life, and to the process of adopting Zhong Shan, to restore every detail of the incident as much as possible, and tell the true situation to his adopted son as it is, filling in the gaps in his understanding of this period of family history.

At the end, Zhong Shulin said sentimentally: "If you want to blame me, blame me, don't blame your mother for hiding the truth from you, her life is not easy, she is reluctant to eat and wear, and her mind is to revolve around this family, for me, for you, and Zixing." Guarding such a big secret, in fact, she is also very tired. When you were very young, you were afraid that you would run away if you knew the truth, and when you grew up, you were afraid that you would be sad if you knew the truth, so you kept it hidden. Before leaving, I finally mustered up the courage to tell the truth. ”

Zhong Shan couldn't help crying again, and said, "Dad, don't say it, how can I blame you, I am also a father, the love you have given me since I was a child is no worse than that of my biological parents, and even more doting and pampering than their children." In fact, when I was 12 years old, I guessed that I had a different background from my friends, and the photo in my mother's room, where was there a sign of carrying me in my belly! I didn't say it when I was a child, because I was afraid, and when I grew up, I didn't ask, because I was afraid that you would be sad and sad. ”

His son's words were beyond Zhong Shulin's expectations, he suddenly found that he had never really understood this son in his life, his love for his son has always been trembling and trembling, and his preaching to his son is itching through his boots, and he is fierce and inward. After a while, he snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "Zhong Shan, Dad encourages you to find your biological parents, according to age, I guess they should be younger than me and your mother, maybe in their early sixties, hurry up and find it, it should be too late to meet." ”

With tears in his eyes, Zhong Shan looked at his gray-haired old father, who was almost old, and said, "If you support it, I'll try to find it." To tell you the truth, for more than 30 years, the mystery of my life has been haunting me, who am I? Where am I from? Why did my biological parents abandon me? Sometimes I think about it, but I can't figure it out. Sometimes I deliberately twist with you, in fact, it is to vent my inner anguish, and I often hope that one day you will suddenly take the initiative to tell me the truth. I went to the South to study journalism because I thought maybe I would have a chance to learn about my background. ”

My father said, "It's hard for you to bear such a lot of psychological pressure at such a young age. When you were less than a year old, your mother and I brought you from the Qingshan Orphanage, and it is said that your children are all from the south, and you are really not wrong to go in the direction of going to the south to find your roots. You are the youngest of them, your mother fell in love with you at a glance, and she was reluctant to let go when she held you in her arms, she didn't like it, you didn't cry or make trouble, as if you were born to be a mother and son. Your mother can't give birth to her own life, but she is a qualified good mother, except for the pain of not going through October pregnancy and childbirth, she has done what a mother should do. ”

Speaking of the deceased, thinking of all the efforts she had put into this family in her life, both father and son couldn't help but shed tears.

Zhong Shan actually had some words in his heart that he didn't say to his father, his mother's special physical condition, although his father only said a few words lightly, but as an adult man, he completely understood. For such a crippled wife, his father was able to never abandon and rely on each other for the rest of his life, he felt a little sorry for this forbearant old father, and he was more deeply admired.
