Chapter 679: Alone
"Eat less, look at the way you look now, what do you look like."
"People take food as the sky, people live in this world in this life, the most important thing is not to eat, in this case, why should there be so much attention, as long as you can fill your stomach, why do you have to be so hypocritical."
In fact, Cheng Xinheng was not as rude as others imagined when dining, but his every move was full of the etiquette of a noble son, even if he behaved neatly, his movements were much faster than those of you, and he moved more chopsticks than them, but it was not possible to hide his elegant temperament because of this, precisely because they were neat, but it added a little charm.
"Eat your own, I'm not here today to scold you, I just want to ask how your eldest brother is doing now?"
"What else? It's good, eat well, sleep well, dress well, stay with your little girlfriend every day, happy, and now I have the consent of my mother-in-law, and the proud things in life have been taken up by him, what's not good. ”
When Old Man Cheng heard his words, he was not relieved by this, but seemed a little lost in his expression, and his tone was also a little lonely: "Is it?" That's good. ”
"Otherwise, what do you think, after my brother leaves the Cheng family, he should cry his father and call his mother, and he can't live?"
Of course, Mr. Cheng didn't mean this, but his son didn't have the slightest reluctance after leaving home, and he was happy for the New Year, and he didn't miss his family because of this, so he still felt a little depressed in his heart.
Even if he is in such a position now, but in the final analysis, he is still an ordinary father, and he still misses his wife and children, but now his wife has been dead for many years, one son does not recognize him as a father, and is even ready to cut off relations with the entire family, and the other son is dispensable, and he has never regarded himself as a person in this family, and now he is a complete loner in the real sense.
Is there a father in this world who is more sad than him, and a father who is a more failed than him?
Cheng Xinheng didn't feel that his father had anything to be pitied, nothing to sympathize with, in his opinion, everything today was his father's own choice, in that case, then he shouldn't regret my current fate, and he didn't have the qualifications to regret it, because all the choices he made so far were made by himself, and no one ever forced him.
Old Man Cheng didn't know that this was the case, but this did not prevent him from feeling guilty in his heart, especially for his two sons, thinking of the nurses who had treated the two of them for so many years, and the hatred they had in their hearts for themselves at this time, he couldn't tell the bitter taste in his heart.
He drank the wine in his hand in a sullen gulp: "If your brother is willing, let him go back to Cheng's house, no matter what, this is also his home, and it is the place where he grew up here." ”
"Growing up, I think you have forgotten that my brother and I spend most of our time at school, and then it is a weekend, and the two of us also stay in a nearby villa, and there are basically no days of stay here except for the New Year's holidays throughout the year, do you think such a place can be called "home" for us? Now this place is home to you, a strange and familiar place to us. ”
Cheng Xinheng feels that calling this place "home" is too insulting, not only because they can't stay in this place for long all year round, but also because the two of them have never had a sense of belonging to this place, and how can a place without a sense of belonging be called home?
"If you're just here to say these things, then don't bother me to continue eating, seriously, the food in this place at home is really unpalatable, especially today, it's better to eat food stalls with friends outside."
"Forget it, if there is nothing else, then I will leave first, and you don't have to wait for me if you keep the New Year."
"Stop, where do you want to go, don't forget that you still need to enter the ancestral hall to burn incense to your ancestors on the New Year, and live as a part of the family, do you want to forget this?"
According to the rules of the Cheng family, every year in the early hours of the morning, in addition to setting off firecrackers to welcome the arrival of the New Year, it is also necessary to open the ancestral hall to burn incense to the ancestors.
The ancestral hall of a family, if nothing big happens, will not be opened normally, and welcoming the New Year is the most important thing in this, and it is also a very easy thing for or the family, because only the people who are on the family tree are the real members of the Cheng family, and they are qualified to stand inside and hold a stick of incense.
Even if others have Cheng's surname, they usually stay at home, but as long as they don't have a family tree, they can never be regarded as members of the Cheng family, which is the most obvious difference for a large family.
Then you say that now Cheng Liting's name is still on the family tree, he should also come in to offer incense, and as the son of the family, his position will still be in front, but according to the current situation, he should not appear this year.
If the eldest son does not appear, then it is even more impossible for him to let his younger son leave, otherwise when the ancestor blames him, he will not know how to explain it.
"You can leave if you want, but you have to wait until the incense is over, and I don't care where you want to go after that, as long as you can keep yourself safe."
Cheng Xinheng is obviously the same as his brother, but in the end, this place gave him a life, and he should still maintain the respect he has, so even if he couldn't wait to leave this depressing place, he finally chose to stay obediently.
In fact, Mr. Cheng is afraid that you are similar in your heart, why does he like to stay in this place, others think that he is the first to step into the ancestral hall, which is easy to be envied by others, but only he knows what he has shouldered and how much he has paid for this position in the past few decades?
Sometimes he couldn't help but ask himself if it was really worth it, but he couldn't get an answer, because he was in this position now, and he couldn't let go easily.
"When will these bad habits in the family be changed?"
"Don't talk nonsense, this is a rule that has been passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years, and knowing us may be able to take root in this city for half a year."
Cheng Xinheng was silent, although he was unwilling to accept these in his heart, but one thing he had to agree with was that the reason why the Cheng family was able to become a century-old Wang clan here was able to survive so many calamities, and it was really because of that small ancestral hall.
This is something that many people in other countries can't understand, but as people from this country, they understand very well what the small ancestral hall on that side represents and what it means.
It has become a constraint, trapping everyone together, but at the same time it has become a rope that holds everyone together and turns into an invincible force.
Therefore, for this place, even if he didn't admit it in his heart, he was in awe, and he still obediently survived this link, and the only thing that the old man was dissatisfied with may be that his eldest son did not appear in the end.
There is no feast in the world, and one person is happy to finish, and behind the reunion means separation......
Everyone began to pack their bags, and they were about to leave their familiar hometown and start running to a distant place, for a better reunion in the coming year.
And An Yanxi is also ready to say goodbye to her mother at this time, An Yanxi's visa has been completed, and she is about to go abroad for treatment, which means that An Yanxi will not be able to see her mother for a long time, and she is not even sure when her mother will come back.
This is a particularly uncomfortable thing for a girl who has not been away from her mother for more than a month since she was a child, especially this time, when her mother went abroad for treatment alone, without even a single relative by her side, and she, as a daughter, could not be by her side.
She has never tried to leave her mother for a long time, even if An's mother was seriously ill and lying in bed at that time, she was still able to watch her mother all the time.
And now once you choose to send your mother abroad, it means that they will not be able to see each other again for a long time, and now Cheng Liting is in trouble, she must stay to help him, not to mention that there are still many problems in her own company that have not been solved, and she is all lacking skills, let alone flying abroad to visit people.
Seeing her daughter's loss, An's mother comforted her: "I just went outside for treatment, not that I won't come back, as long as I return to China as soon as I get better, of course, if you really don't want me to leave, then I can also stay and live in China for treatment, anyway, now the medical skills in China are not much worse outside, it's just a matter of time." ”
For the latter An Yanxi never thought about it, although she was reluctant to let her mother leave, but she was still able to distinguish the priorities, about her mother's injury in this regard, she went abroad to receive the best treatment, so as not to leave any sequelae, she can't selfishly choose to let her mother stay because of her reluctance, in this way, if she really leaves something behind, then let her regret it for the rest of her life, it will be her regret for the rest of her life.
"No, Mom, you should still go abroad, I just can't bear you, but only by going outside can you receive the best treatment, so that you can live with me as soon as possible, I can't let you stay and take risks because of selfishness."
"In fact, the current domestic technology is not as bad as you imagined, after so many years of hard work, now the domestic technology can almost be side by side with foreign technology, but there are some surprises that can not be handled too appropriately, and the time will be longer, but I believe that after that, as long as I take care of myself, my body should not have any problems, and I don't want you to be here, after all, I go abroad, I am not familiar with life, and I don't even have a person to talk to."
"No, even a little bit of risk, I can't let you take it, and Dr. Zhang said very clearly, your time in China should be at least doubled, which is not conducive to your body, get back together as soon as possible, and if you do this, your body pain will also double, which is not a good thing, so I will definitely not agree."
