Chapter 330: The Old Man's Birthday

Looking at Sang Zhi's cute expression, Bai Mufeng suddenly felt that she was really interesting and cute, no wonder Men Shaoting loved her so much, and was deeply attracted to her, and he didn't even bother to look at Bai Xiaomeng, it turned out that women are beautiful because they are cute, not all beautiful women are cute, this sentence is really right.

"Want to know why?"

Bai Mufeng was still smiling brightly, and when she said this, her good-looking phoenix eyes were still firing at her.

But Sang Zhi didn't have him in his heart at all, and he couldn't see his good in his natural eyes.

He glared at him angrily and said, "I don't want to." ”

She is only angry now, angry that she was actually played by this man who has only seen two sides, this matter must not be known to Men Shaoting, otherwise he will definitely laugh at himself to death.

But Bai Mufeng really stretched out his hand to open the car door, got out of the car, but did not close the car door and leave, but held the roof of the car with one hand, put the car door with the other, leaned into the car, and smiled at Sang Zhi: "I'm looking for you, don't tell anyone, especially don't let the door Shaoting know." ”

Sang Zhi pursed his lips, he didn't say it, and he wouldn't tell others, especially Men Shaoting, did he want to be laughed at by others!

"You can not take my words seriously, but if you want to know the whereabouts of Men Shaoxuan, I advise you to listen to me."

Bai Mufeng's tone was very relaxed, and he even had a playful expression on his face, seeing Sang Zhifu's surprised expression, he stood up straight with satisfaction and waved at her: "Thank you for the ride, we will see you again." ”

After saying that, he turned around gracefully, and disappeared in a moment in the flow of people.

Sang Zhi was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, he mentioned Men Shaoxuan again, and said that if he wanted to know Men Shaoxuan's whereabouts, it was best to listen to him.

Looking at his expression, it doesn't look like a lie, but ...... Sang Zhi frowned, but it didn't seem to be true, which of this man's words was true and which was false? Should I believe him or not?

Bai Mufeng, this strange man who looks like a psychopath, really knows the news of Men Shaoxuan?

Sang Zhi raised his head and looked into the distance, the crowd was like a stream, and Bai Mufeng had already disappeared.

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, it really enters the hot summer, and the glorious old man has finally retired gloriously.

The day he retired from the army happened to be the 70th birthday of the old man.

It is said that people live seventy years old, that is in ancient times, science and technology and medical care are increasingly developed in modern times, not to mention seventy, the average person lives eighty or ninety years old, it is very common, not to mention that the door glorious body foundation is good, although there have been a few small diseases, and I have been hospitalized several times, but the old man usually has no less exercise, the body is recovering very well, and the spirit is also great, seventy years old, it looks like he is in his early sixties, and he is very young and energetic.

Lin Yaran told Sang Zhi that grandpa never celebrated birthdays.

After that, she also specially asked the door Shaoting, the reason why the old man never celebrated his birthday.

Men Shaoting told her that the old man was born with a difficult birth, and he survived, but he took the life of his mother, who was Men Shaoting's great-grandmother.

At that time, the mother of Men Guangrong was less than twenty, and the medical conditions were not as good as they are now, and in the countryside, at that time, women gave birth to children at home with a midwife, and only the rich families in the city would send them to the hospital.

And Men Guangrong's mother is so unlucky, Men Guangrong is too big, difficult to give birth, and finally came out after giving birth for a day and a night, but his mother died because of giving birth to him.

It is said that the mother's birthday is a difficult day, but the glorious birthday of the door has become the death day of the mother.

Men's glorious father died of his wife, although the rural people at that time were superstitious and patriarchal, but he saw the white and fat son in front of him who exchanged his wife's life, but he couldn't be happy at all, and he hated him even more in his heart, thinking that he was a broom star, and he killed his own mother's nemesis when he was born.

In addition to his father, there are no relatives in the glorious family, although his father does not want to see him, but it can be regarded as the life of the two of them. It's just that his father never gave him a birthday, not once.

When he grew up and became sensible, sometimes he would go home and ask his father to celebrate his birthday when he saw his friends eating noodles and boiled eggs on his birthday.

But my father glared, took the cigarette bag and pot and knocked it hard on the upper of the shoe, and said: "Have a fart birthday, you killed your own mother, Lao Tzu also gave you a birthday, do you know that your birthday is your mother's death day!" ”

Since then, Men Guangrong has never mentioned his father's birthday again, but every year on his birthday, he will run to his mother's grave and sit alone and cry for a long time.

Men Guangrong had never seen his mother, and at that time, the rural family was poor, and he didn't even leave a photo of his mother. Men Guangrong didn't know anything about his mother's appearance, but his father said that he looked like his mother, so Men Guangrong drew a picture of his mother according to his own appearance and his imagination and showed it to his father, and when his father saw it, tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, "Like, it's really your mother!" ”

And the habit of Men Guangrong going to his mother's grave to sit on his mother's grave for half a day has been maintained every year on his birthday, until he leaves home as a soldier and arrives in the army, on this day every year, there is no way to kowtow to his mother's grave in person, and he will also kneel down and kowtow in the direction of his hometown.

After that, Men Guangrong made meritorious service in the army, was promoted, and came to settle in the capital, when his father had also died.

He went back to his hometown in person and found someone to move his father's grave to the capital, although the old man was willing to return to his roots and bury it in the land of his hometown.

But Men Guangrong said that his parents had never left the house in their lives, and they had no chance to see the outside world, and now they have passed away, so he moved their ashes out and let them see the world outside, so that they could stay by their side and worship at any time to show their filial piety.

For more than 60 years, this habit of the door glory has not changed, and every time on his birthday, he will go to the grave of his parents to pay respects alone, and he has never stopped.

After listening to Men Shaoting's words, Sang Zhi's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but be moved by the old man's persistent feelings for his mother.

"Grandpa is really not easy, in fact, great-grandmother's death can't be blamed on him."

Men Shaoting patted her hand comfortingly, and said, "It's okay, in fact, after so many years, grandpa has long seen it, he is just used to his birthday, and he is also used to accompanying his great-grandmother on this day." ”

"You said that grandpa can draw, is that your talent for painting inherited from your grandfather from generation to generation?"

Sang Zhi thought that the old man could draw the portrait of his mother without seeing his mother, relying on his father's words and his own imagination alone, and Men Shaoting also has a very high talent for painting, maybe it is really the result of intergenerational inheritance.

"Well, that's what my mom said."

Men Shaoting looked at her and smiled.

"What do you think?"

Early in the morning, seeing Sang Zhi sitting on the bed holding a calendar in a daze, Men Shaoting couldn't help but scratch her nose and asked with a smile.

Sang Zhi came to his senses from his memories, leaned his head on Men Shaoting's arms and said, "Today is grandpa's birthday, and from today on, grandpa will retire." ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

Men Shaoting put his arms around her, happy in his heart for his wife's delicate thoughts, but in the final analysis, they couldn't help anything about grandpa, they couldn't help at all.

Sang Zhi stretched out his hand to put his arm around Men Shaoting's neck and said, "I'm thinking, what can we do to make Grandpa happy and make him forget the loneliness and emptiness of retreating from the army." You know, there are a lot of elderly people who, after retirement, will stay at home and get sick and get retirement syndrome. ”

Men Shaoting pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "So you are thinking about this, grandpa is fine, he himself knows that sooner or later there will be a day to retire, retirement at the age of seventy is already too late, those old comrades-in-arms at the same level as him have retired at sixty-five or sixty-eight, grandpa is very content." ”

Sang Zhi stretched out his hand and poked at the door of Men Shaoting's head, and said: "You men don't understand the old man's mind at all, grandpa is a strong person all his life, he just feels uncomfortable, will he tell you?" Saying that it only adds to your troubles, so that he will not be bored with himself. ”

Men Shaoting kissed her fragrant hair lightly and said, "Well, you know, then what do you say?" Grandpa, we are really powerless. How can he get out of the depressed state of retirement, unless...... Unless you get him a great-grandson, let him watch the child every day, and have no heart to think about anything else. ”

As soon as Men Shaoting's words came out, Sang Zhi's face changed.

Yes, if it wasn't for his impulsiveness, now the old man will be a great-grandfather soon, maybe thinking about his great-grandson every day, he wouldn't want to run to the army for a long time, and he is still afraid of retirement?

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

As soon as Men Shaoting's words came out, he immediately regretted it, seeing the sudden expression of Sang Zhi, his intestines were so green with regret in his heart, he really wanted to slap himself hard, which pot is really not opened!

"Zhizhi, don't think about it, I didn't mean that. I'm unintentional, don't be angry. ”

Men Shaoting's unintentional words made Sang Zhi's face change sharply, and seeing her somewhat sad and lost expression, Men Shaoting was startled and hurriedly explained to her.

Sang Zhi shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I didn't think much about it." In fact, if I think about it, I really shouldn't have made my own impulsive assertions, I should have confessed the fact that I was pregnant with you and my family. Maybe, in that case, I can save both the mother and the child, but in the end it is my fault. ”

Sang Zhi said, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he felt the urge to cry.

It's been more than half a year since I lost that child, but every time Sang Zhi thinks of him, he feels a throbbing pain in his heart.

After all, it was her ignorance and panic that killed him.

"Zhizhi, don't say that, I don't mean to blame you, not before, and not in the future. Really, don't stress yourself out, okay? ”

Men Shaoting kissed her and comforted her softly.

Sang Zhi wrapped his hands tightly around Men Shaoting's solid waist, tears couldn't help flowing down anymore, and sobbed: "At that time, I was really panicked, when I heard the news of my mother's hospitalization, my brain buzzed, and I suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall." At that time, I had a thought in my heart, even if I didn't want to fight for my life, I would save my mother. I didn't dare to tell my parents that I was pregnant, let alone you and all the people in the family, I was afraid, you know that I was pregnant, and you wouldn't let me give my mother a liver transplant. So I ......"

Sang Zhi cried a lot, for so long, she had avoided talking about it with Men Shaoting.

Even when the divorce was reconciled, Men Shaoting told her that he didn't care, and she didn't want to talk about it.

To put it bluntly, she kept running away because she felt like a sinner.
