A new life
Wu Dao told Wu Yisheng about Shi Qingqing, and the father and son recognized each other again. The files found by Meng Yihong in the traffic police team completely opened the knot in the hearts of Wu Dao and Wu Yisheng. Wu Yisheng no longer objected to Wu Dao and Meng Yihong's marriage, not only that, but he also hoped that Meng Yihong would leave the hotel immediately and move home. Looking at the scene in front of her, Meng Yihong was very moved and happily agreed.
The three of them took a taxi back to the hotel, and Meng Yihong retired from the room. Wu Dao and Wu Yisheng, father and son, helped Meng Yihong with his luggage, and the three of them went home together. After arriving at home, Wu Yisheng asked Wu Dao and Meng Yihong about the two of them back then, and Wu Dao told Wu Yisheng one by one. Wu Yisheng knew that Meng Yihong was a very kind person who had been thinking about others all his life, and he supported Wu Dao even more to marry her.
That night, Meng Yihong cooked a sumptuous dinner. Meng Yihong's food is good in color and flavor, and it is the first time for Wu Yisheng to eat such a good meal at home. He said to Meng Yihong:
"Aunt Meng, no wonder my father said that the food you cook is better than in the restaurant, it turns out that this is really the case. The food you cook is much better than my mother's, and it's better than my father's. After that, my father and I will have good luck. ”
"I learned to cook from your Aunt Meng before, no matter how good I do, I can't compare to her." Wu Dao said to Wu Yisheng.
"From now on, I will cook for you every day." Meng Yihong said to Wu Dao and Wu Yisheng.
All three smiled.
"Dad, when are you going to have a wedding with Aunt Meng?" Wu Yisheng said to Wu Dao.
"We're all so old, let's not have a wedding." Meng Yihong looked at Wu Dao and said.
"Yihong, it's because we're both so old that we have to have a wedding. I don't want to leave regrets. Wu Dao said.
"I support Dad, Aunt Meng, you should have a wedding." Wu Yisheng said to Meng Yihong.
"Really want a wedding?" Meng Yihong said to Wu Dao and Wu Yisheng.
"I'm going to have a wedding." Wu Dao said.
"There should be a wedding." Wu Yisheng said.
"Since your father and son are so insistent, then do it. However, it can't be too big, just hold a small ceremony, only invite relatives and friends in Fangzhou to participate, and those from other places will not be invited. Don't wear the wedding dress. Meng Yihong said.
"The wedding is a little smaller, I agree, but the wedding dress can't be saved, you have to wear it, otherwise what else is it called a wedding?" Wu Dao said.
"Yes, Aunt Meng, the wedding dress still has to be worn." Wu Yisheng also said to Meng Yihong.
"I can't resist you father and son, just wear it. Anyway, it's the last time I wear it, and I'm not afraid of other people's jokes. Meng Yihong said.
"Dad, Aunt Meng, when are you going to have a wedding?" Wu Yisheng said again.
"Or maybe it's the end of this month. There is still a lot to prepare. Wu Dao looked at Meng Yihong and said.
"Yes." Meng Yihong said.
The matter of the wedding was agreed. Next, it's time to decorate the house, buy wedding supplies, choose a hotel, hand out invitations, and so on. Wu Yisheng helped Wu Dao and Meng Yihong prepare together in his free time.
Whether to invite Shi Qingqing's parents to the wedding, Wu Dao is more conflicted in his heart about this issue. After Shi Qingqing's death, although Wu Dao and Shi Qingqing's parents did not have much contact, they were never interrupted, and Wu Dao would take Wu Yisheng to visit them during the Spring Festival and summer vacation every year. Shi Qingqing's parents actually did not object to Wu Dao's remarriage, and also told him that they hoped he could find another wife. However, at this time, he was really going to get married, but Wu Dao had some concerns, one was that he was remarried after all, and invited his ex-wife's parents to attend the wedding, he was worried that Meng Yihong would feel uncomfortable; Second, Meng Yihong is older than Shi Qingqing's parents, once they meet, what should Meng Yihong call them? That's a big question.
Although Wu Dao didn't say it, Meng Yihong didn't forget about Shi Qingqing's parents. When writing the invitation, she took the initiative to say to Wu Dao:
"Wu Dao, we should go to your ex-wife's parents' house and send them a wedding invitation."
"Yihong, I know that your people are very good and unselfish. However, you don't know that Shi Qingqing's father is only ten years older than me, and his mother is only eight years older than me, which means that they are six and eight years younger than you. When we meet, I'm going to call them Mom and Dad, what should you call them? When I call them, I feel a little awkward because of my age, and you are even more awkward. Wu Dao said.
"Wu Dao, you are still the same as before, thinking about everything is too complicated. Even if Shi Qingqing's parents are older than me, they are your elders, and they are also my elders, you call your parents, I don't call them that, it's always okay to call you uncle and aunt. It's like, if there are people in your family or people in your village who are young but have a big generation, and should be called grandpa, grandma, uncle, or aunt, can we not call them that because they are young? ”
"I can't."
"No matter what you have to face, you have to face it."
After listening to Meng Yihong's words, Wu Dao suddenly became enlightened, and he said to Meng Yihong:
"Yihong, thank you. I'm so lucky to have you by my side, no, I'm so happy. ”
"Don't thank me, we're family."
"Family."
One weekend, Wu Dao, Meng Yihong, and Wu Yisheng took a car to Shi's house together, met Shi Qingqing's parents, and sent an invitation, Meng Yihong's words and deeds were very decent. Wu Dao wanted to marry a sixty-six-year-old woman, although Shi Qingqing's parents felt very strange, but since Wu Dao was willing, they had nothing to say, so they were also very polite to Meng Yihong.
On the day of the wedding, the wedding was not grand, but it was warm. Although Meng Yihong is sixty-six years old, when she puts on her wedding dress, Wu Dao still thinks she is the best and most beautiful wife. In this way, a middle-aged man who has no biological children, an elderly woman who has never given birth to children, and a teenager who does not know who his biological father is and has lost his biological mother, the three of them form a family.
After getting married, Meng Yihong tried her best to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife and mother. Wu Yisheng soon discovered that Meng Yihong was far more like a good mother than Shi Qingqing. When Shi Qingqing was alive, he rarely cooked, because he had no culture, and he didn't tutor Wu Yisheng's studies, but kept letting him attend various tutoring classes. Shi Qingqing was busy with work all day long and rarely took Wu Yisheng out to play. After Meng Yihong arrived, he would cook in a different way every day, and his skills were very good. She and Wu Dao tutored Wu Yisheng in his studies, and Wu Yisheng's grades were better than before. During the holidays, Meng Yihong will also take the initiative to take Wu Yisheng out with Wu Dao. In addition, Shi Qingqing and Meng Yihong's personalities are also completely different, Shi Qingqing often loses his temper, even hysterical, and will get angry at Wu Yisheng at every turn, and he is unreasonable; And Meng Yihong is gentle and virtuous, never loses her temper, and what she says is also very reasonable. Soon Wu Yisheng changed the title of "aunt" and called Meng Yihong "mother" instead. Day after day, Meng Yihong also regarded Wu Yisheng as his own son.
"Happy families are all alike, and unhappy families have their own misfortunes." After marrying Meng Yihong, Wu Dao finally knew what a happy family looked like.
Because of Meng Yihong's arrival, Wu Dao's life has become very easy, and more than half of the things that were originally done by him before have been done for him. Wu Dao put more energy into teaching. He is no longer the "Wu Yanqing" when he was young, nor is he the teacher who messes around, but has become a university teacher with mature thinking, stable style, and fruitful results, and is a role model for young teachers to learn.
Wu Dao's family of three often goes out to play, always taking a taxi and taking a bus, and the three of them feel very inconvenient, and almost unanimously think of buying a car. In the past, Wu Dao didn't want to learn to drive, and he didn't have time to learn, but now with Meng Yihong by his side, he not only has a lot of free time, but also has enough self-confidence, and feels that he will definitely be a good driver in the future. Although Meng Yihong can still sign up for a driver's license at her age, she has a lot of housework to do, and the family can't do without her, so he supports Wu Dao to learn to drive. Of course, Wu Yisheng also supports Wu Dao to learn to drive, and he also plans to learn a driver's license after the college entrance examination.
Wu Dao went to the driving school to register and took nearly two months to get a driver's license. When he got his driver's license, the summer vacation was not over, and he went to see and buy cars with Meng Yihong and Wu Yisheng. Meng Yihong said to Wu Dao:
"You have just learned your driver's license, your driving skills are not very good, and there are only three people in our family, so you should buy a smaller car to drive safer."
Wu Dao and Wu Yisheng both felt that it made sense, and the three of them were looking for small cars in each 4S store in Fangzhou.
Wu Dao and Meng Yihong are both people who support domestic products, and they also prefer domestic independent brands when buying cars, and finally they bought a small SUV at the Changan Automobile 4S store.
In the days after buying the car, Wu Dao drove Meng Yihong and Wu Yisheng to see the scenic spots in the suburbs of Fangzhou City and surrounding counties and cities. Meng Yihong sat in the co-pilot seat, and Wu Dao was very relaxed and stable when driving, without any mistakes.
After the summer vacation, Wu Yisheng was promoted to the second year of high school and was going to be divided into arts and sciences. Wu Yisheng's grades in various subjects are very balanced, and he can choose both liberal arts and science. On the question of choosing liberal arts or science, Meng Yihong fully respected Wu Yisheng's own choice, while Wu Dao hoped that Wu Yisheng would choose science. Wu Dao said to Wu Yisheng:
"The liberal arts produce dreamers, and the sciences produce doers. The ideas of the dreamers are often unrealistic, and in the end they are empty-handed. It's better to be a doer and be able to do something down-to-earth. Studying science does not mean giving up liberal arts, and many outstanding writers are born in science. Science students can take care of liberal arts, and liberal arts students read science books as if they were books from heaven. ”
Wu Yisheng eventually accepted Wu Dao's advice and chose science, but still insisted on reading literature and history.
Two years later, Wu Yisheng took the college entrance examination. After the exam, he knew that he was playing normally and did well. According to the original plan, Wu Yisheng went to the driving school to sign up for a driver's license. When it was time to fill in the volunteers, Wu Dao hoped that Wu Yisheng would choose a major related to high-tech, and Wu Yisheng was also very interested in this aspect, so he filled in several such majors.
Later, Wu Yisheng was admitted to a key university in Beijing, majoring in Internet information technology. Before starting school, Wu Yisheng got his driver's license.
