Chapter 51: Farewell
The next day, my father and I dragged our suitcases out of the community, and before leaving, Sun Keyi insisted on seeing us off, but my father refused. Sun Keyi looked at me with a look in his eyes and seemed to say, Qijun, you promised me, you must return to me. I also stared at Sun Keyi with my eyes.
My father and I took a taxi to the train station, and Sun Keyi kept sending me WeChat messages all the way, I replied to him, believe me, and I will come back to you. When he finally stopped, my father glanced at me and said, "You let that kid die, I won't agree to you being together." ”
I said, "Dad, the matter with the Sun family has nothing to do with Sun Keyi, why can't we be together?" ”
My father said, "Are you going to stay together and not get married for the rest of your life?" I'll tell you, don't say that the Sun family doesn't agree with your marriage, and I will definitely not agree. ”
I suddenly felt a little reluctant that my father would come out of the pain of losing my mother, so that he might not care about my business for the rest of his life, but such thoughts flashed through my mind and were quickly denied by me, how could I have such selfish thoughts.
My father then said, "You might as well find a good man to marry, so that you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life." "What he said is not unreasonable, if I don't be with Sun Keyi, I won't have those troubles at all, but how can I be willing to find someone to marry so casually. How could I be willing to leave Sun Keyi so easily, I won't leave him, even if we don't get married for the rest of our lives.
By the time we arrived in Huanzhou, it was already dark, so my father and I got off the train and went straight to my mother's house. My grandparents are long gone, but the house they lived in is still there, and they are just my mother and a daughter, and I remember coming back to visit them when I was a child, and we never came back when I was older.
My father said that after my grandparents died, my mother was determined to keep the house, but I didn't expect it to become a place for our father and daughter. I looked at this dilapidated house, and my heart suddenly felt sour, and my mother grew up in this dirt yard. My grandparents also passed away in this courtyard, and I was too young to remember even what happened when they left.
The father said, "Go in." ”
There is no way to live in the house at all, the accumulated dust, webs of spider silk, and dilapidated furniture, all indicate that this house has been uninhabited for more than ten years.
My father said, "Let's go to a nearby hotel for one night." ”
So we came out with our luggage again.
My father and I stayed in the hotel at night, and during the day we went to the old house to renovate and clean up, and after a week the old house was finally able to be occupied.
The night my father and I moved in from the hotel, my father had a rare smile on his face, and he said to me, "Qijun, in fact, it's good that our father and daughter will live for the rest of our lives." ”
I nodded in agreement, it's really nice to be here, it's remote, but it's rare to be peaceful. After our renovation, this small courtyard is quite a bit of an idyllic literary atmosphere under the South Mountain. And my father did it, and the next morning he moved in, he bought some vegetable seedlings and planted them in the yard.
Since coming to Huanzhou, my father's sentimentality has completely disappeared, watching him pour the vegetable seedlings in the yard every day, my heart has slowly become very peaceful, I suddenly feel that it is not so important who I am with, the important thing is that we are still alive in this world, everything goes well, peace and joy.
I thought that it would be good to accompany my father to spend the rest of my life in peace.
Of course, Sun Keyi and I have not completely cut off contact, he will send me messages every day, chatting about some homely things, what are you doing? Have you eaten it? Slept. And the occasional sentence I miss you.
I replied to his message naturally positively, photographing him the dish I had just made, the eggplant seedlings that slowly grew tall in the yard, saying goodnight to him, and replying to him, I miss you too. Sometimes my father would look at me silently when he saw the message on my phone and didn't say a word. Then one day he said to me, "I went to your aunt yesterday and asked her to show you if there is a suitable person to arrange a blind date for you, she sent me a message back, and today you will go to meet the person your aunt is looking for for you, I heard that the man's conditions are very good, you go and prepare." ”
I looked at my father and marveled at his efficiency, and he said, "Don't go yet." ”
I said, "Dad, didn't you say that you want me to be with you for the rest of your life?" Why do you want me to marry now? ”
He said, "If I don't marry you off, I'm afraid that the kid from the Sun family will still pester you." ”
I said, "I'm not going." ”
The father was in a hurry, he clutched his chest, panted loudly, and said, "If you don't go, don't call my dad if you don't go, I don't have you as a daughter." I saw that he was really angry, and his body was not as good as before, and I didn't want to be angry with him anymore, so I said, "Okay, I'll go." ”
I went into the room, changed my clothes, and put on makeup. When I went out, my father finally smiled and said, "That's right, let's go." ”
When I arrived at the address my aunt had sent me, I quickly searched for the person she had described to me in terms of physical characteristics. Finally my eyes settled on a man with eyes and a slight beard. I walked over and asked, "Is that Mr. Xu?" ”
The man lowered his eyes, got up and bowed slightly, and asked, "Miss Xu." ”
I said, "Yes." ”
He said, "Hello, my name is Xu Jing. ”
I said, "Xu Qijun." ”
I glanced at him, he was wearing a neat and elegant suit, and the watch on his hand was Gucci, and sure enough, the conditions were very good.
He said, "You may be seated." I nodded, straightened my skirt, and sat down.
He handed me the menu and said, "I don't know what Miss Xu likes to eat, so I didn't order in advance." ”
I said, "It's all right." ”
He said, "Come on." ”
I ordered a few random dishes and handed him back the menu, and he called the waiter and said, "That's it." ”
The waiter took the menu down.
He looked at me, and then quickly looked away, as if it was because it was not good to stare at someone for a long time, and he was polite. I smiled at him and said, "I don't know what industry Mr. Xu is engaged in?" "Actually, I naturally know what industry he is engaged in, and my aunt told me almost all his information in advance, but I had no choice but to find some topics to talk about in order not to be embarrassed.
"I'm a doctor," he said. ”
I nodded.
He probably knew about my information, so he didn't ask me what I was doing, because I was currently unemployed.
I said, "Doctor, that must be a hard job." ”
"Yes, sometimes it takes more than 10 hours in a row to do the surgery," he said. ”
I nodded again.
He looked at me awkwardly and smiled.
He said, "I don't know what Miss Xu thinks about getting married? The meaning was very clear, and he asked me if I was sincere about going on a blind date.
I said, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry, this blind date was arranged for me by my father." He looked at me and nodded, and said, "Okay, I got it." ”
I smiled awkwardly again. Fortunately, when the dishes were served, we didn't communicate too much after that, and ate separately.
When he came out, Xu Jing said, "Miss Xu, I'll send you back." ”
I said, "No, I'll just take the bus back." "My home is far away from the city, and I have to walk a long way to get to the station by bus, and I feel very tired when I think about it, but I don't want to trouble him.
He said, "I'll give it to you." ”
I'll shirk it again, "I really don't need to bother." ”
When he saw that my expression was sincere, he no longer insisted, "Okay, then you should be safe on the road." ”
I said, "Okay, goodbye." ”
When I got home, my father asked me how I was. ”
I said, "Good." ”
My father sighed and said, "I'll just tell you, don't be too obsessed, look at the people outside, and you will find that there are thousands of men who are better than him." ”
I said, "Yes, yes, yes." ”
