Chapter 4: Old Things Part 4
"Yes, he is Xiao Ze, at that time, he didn't have the current scenery. Outside of a pair of skins, he looks embarrassed.
We arrived in a strange city, and my father never came to look for us. But that Xiao Ze came once. At that time, my mother and I were not living very well, he left some money, and when he left, my mother told him not to come to us again.
Later, my mother moved with me several times.
My name was also changed from He Hai to Yun Hai, my mother got a job as a translator, met Pete, and later, we followed Pete abroad.
At first, I didn't quite understand why we were separated from our father, did my father not want us?
Mother said that it was not my father who didn't want us, but her reason that caused us to be separated from my father.
At that time, I was too young to know much about adults, and I simply thought that why she should be separated from her father. Was my decision asked? Why did you make the decision for me?
I began to hate my mother, she was the one who kept me from seeing my father, and she was the culprit. My personality became more and more withdrawn and unsociable. Later, when the adolescent temperament was terrible, I guessed that my mother was separated from my father because of that Xiao Ze, and I hated my mother more and more until I graduated from high school.
I should still be grateful to Pete, who was a wise man and who served as a mediator between me and my mother. That's why you see the superficial harmony between us. ”
"Didn't your mother say why she was separated from your father back then?"
Yunhai shook his head.
"Of course I asked her, I asked if she was separated from Decent because of Xiao Ze?"
"Did she admit it?"
"No, she said things weren't what I thought they were. She just didn't say the specific reason. ”
"So, is the purpose of her coming back this time to see Xiao Ze?"
"I suspect she was making an excuse, she said she wanted to see me and Anne live in China, and go to pay respects to my deceased grandparents. Hmph, this excuse is not very good, when her grandparents died, she never came back. ”
"So you brought me here to see their old flames meet? What is your intention? ”
"The truth, I want to find the truth."
"What truth?"
"The truth about their divorce, the truth about their father's murder. Don't you want to know? Haven't you been questioning the truth given by the Miancheng police? Didn't you always think it was all about Xiao Ze? ”
"What do you mean? Re-investigating the case of the year? ”
"Don't you want to?"
"But have you ever thought that Xiao Ze is my biological father, why do you think I would do that?"
"Brother, why? You have taken the place of my father's love for me. Just because you are a people's policeman, and because you have been lonely for so many years, you have a reason to give a reasonable truth. ”
………………
Wutong International, a villa area in the main urban area of Chunyang City, has been built for some years. It has always occupied the most advantageous position in the city, and in the era when nothing is rising except for housing prices, the value of villas here is one word - luxe.
Housing prices in Chunyang City, a second-tier city where housing prices have always been far from income levels, are unaffordable for ordinary people in this villa area.
Xiao Ze, who has been living in a star-rated hotel, is certainly not an ordinary person, he recently owned a house of his own here.
The car was parked at the door of Wutong International, and the middle-aged security guard at the door was very principled, without a pass, without the consent of the owner, don't want to enter.
This reminded Xiao Mo of that year, the year when his grandmother was sick. Xiao Ze's mansion in Miancheng, Xiao Mo stood timidly in front of the gate of the community that represented the gap between the rich and the poor, and the security guard was just like the security guard in front of him, with disdain in his eyes.
To be honest, as a people's policeman, with several years of experience in handling cases, what kind of bird has you never seen? He shouldn't have been angry with this middle-aged bald head in front of him, and when he got out of the car and was about to take out his police ID card to teach the security guard with his eyes on the top of his head, Xiao Ze appeared at the door in casual clothes.
The bald man who was playing with his mobile phone in the sentry box immediately got up, and his flattering look made Xiao Mo quite uncomfortable in his heart.
Xiao Ze looked at Xiao Mo with an apologetic face. starting point
What Xiao Mo hates is not only the security guard's dog-eyed look at people, but also Xiao Ze's consistent flattery to himself.
This kind of appearance made Xiao Mo always feel that there was a ghost in his heart.
He said: "When I first moved in, there was still a lot of chaos at home. I didn't have time to get the access card, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to get in, so I came to the gate to take a look. I will also get one for you when I go back, so that it will be convenient for my family in the future. ”
Xiao Mo replied angrily while getting into the car: "I don't need it." ”
Xiao Ze was not annoyed, and smiled at the bald security guard.
"My son."
The bald security guard's face was almost laughing.
"I'm sorry, it's me who doesn't know Tarzan."
Xiao Mo became more and more annoyed, and wanted to punch his bald and shiny head twice, but in the end he still held back.
A foot of the accelerator turned in, and the accelerator boomed very loudly, and the car suddenly ran out of the way. In the rearview mirror, Xiao Ze ran behind, unlike the big boss who saw him in the office, he looked very old at the moment, like a funny little old man.
The house is big, and after a few years, I feel a musty smell when I enter the house.
Xiao Ze looked a little out of breath.
"Three, the room facing the sun on the third floor is reserved for you, if you don't mind, you can come back ......."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Mo snatched the words.
"I don't mind."
"Okay, okay. But I'll keep the room forever. ”
"Whatever you want."
"You sit, I've stewed beef in the kitchen, and I'll eat in a while."
"No, I just came to you to talk about something."
Xiao Mo didn't want to come here, but Xiao Ze on the other end of the phone insisted, and he had to compromise.
Now it seems that he wants to find a little bit of father-son affection in himself after an interval of more than 20 years.
But he shouldn't have felt that the moment he left home, he took away the image of his father in Xiao Mo's mind, and also cut off the relationship between father and son.
"Xiao Mo, I don't want to say more, but it's just a meal. Knowing you're coming, I've been preparing for hours, can you give me a chance? ”
Opportunity? Did he give himself a chance that year?
"I've eaten it, you eat it with her!"
She is the most polite name he can give to that woman in his heart.
"Your Aunt Lu doesn't live here, she dislikes that the house here is too old."
"Aunt Lu? You're exalting her too much. ”
Xiao Ze's face was slightly embarrassed, after all, he was an old guy, his expression changed quickly, and he didn't give Xiao Mo another chance to refuse.
"I'll be fine right away, you can sit down casually, and visit your home."
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the courtyard outside, and there is a stone table in the courtyard with a tea set on the table.
For a moment, Xiao Mo thought that he had returned to the small courtyard of Miancheng.
When he came back to his senses, Xiao Ze had already put a table of dishes on the table.
