Huo Xiangji walked to the sofa in front of the window and sat down, where his father sat and watched him. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Xiang Ji, my health is getting worse and worse now, are you alone in the company?" ”

His father's sudden concern surprised him a little, and he looked at his father for a pause, and then said, "No problem! ”

He replied very decisively, and felt that his father had something to say, so he changed his words again: "Your health will be fine, there are so many capable people in the company, it's okay!" ”

"I'm looking for someone to help you!"

Huo Xiangji looked at his father, a little unclear.

Huo Qidong said again: "If you can, then you don't need it!" ”

"Dad, I can!" He replied so simply, dragging mud and water is not his character.

Huo Qidong nodded, and said: "I'm not in good health, you don't say it, I know, in fact, ...... I still have one more wish to fulfill. ”

"What wish?" Huo Xiangji asked.

Huo Qidong stopped talking, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't mention it!" ”

Huo Xiangji's least favorite thing is to say half of what he says, or don't say it, which makes him feel like something is blocked in his heart, he asked, "Dad, what's going on?" You tell me maybe I can help you. ”

Huo Qidong was waiting for him to say this, he said: "I want to find someone." As he spoke, he propped up his body with one arm and wanted to get something in the drawer next to him, Huo Xiangji hurriedly got up, helped him and said, "What do you want to take?" ”

He straightened up, breathed a little heavily, and said, "Take out the wallet in the drawer." ”

Huo Xiangji opened the drawer, and a black wallet was placed inside, in his memory, his father had always carried such a wallet, and even he didn't know why.

He handed the wallet to his father, Huo Qidong took it, opened the wallet and looked at it, Huo Xiangji didn't know what was in the wallet that was worth his father's attention? But he didn't stick his head out to look.

Huo Qidong's eyes obviously had a lot more tenderness, he handed the wallet to Huo Xiangji and said, "Take a look!" ”

Huo Xiangji took it and said that the wallet was empty, only a very eye-catching photo, which was stuck inside.

His father's purse, which he often saw, but never opened to look at, felt extremely familiar to him, almost exactly the same as when he was a child, but he knew that the boy who was about 5 years old was not himself.

After seeing the photo, he looked up at his father and waited for his answer, knowing that since his father had let him see it, he proved that he was going to tell him the origin of the photograph.

Huo Qidong thought of this thing that had been sealed for nearly thirty years, obviously a little excited, he was a little at a loss where to speak, Huo Xiangji simply took a stool, sat next to him, and quietly waited for his father to tell him his own story.

Huo Qidong asked: "Are you surprised!" Who is this photo for? ”

Huo Xiangji bowed his head slightly to show that he didn't understand, and his father seemed to be trying to recall, and continued: "You should have heard others say that my previous incident, when I was young and ignorant, I was married to a woman. ”

When he said this, he leaned back and said, "At that time, whether I gave sincerely or not, I also failed someone." We fell in love when we were in college, she was in law, I was in architecture, two unrelated people, they bumped into each other by accident, and their young hearts rippled, and they fell in love, and that was my first love. ”

"Actually, there are some things that shouldn't be said to you, and since I'm here today, I want to finish things for you all at once."

I have to say that Huo Xiangji is a perfect listener, he listened carefully to his father's words, and never interrupted him in the middle.

When Huo Qidong told this, he could still see the sweetness on his face, and he continued: "We also had a good time after four years of college, after graduation, I started to work, and it has not been smooth, but she has also participated in the work but it has been smooth." ”

"Due to the unhappiness at work, I slowly began to start my own business, in the early days of the business, I hit a lot of walls, suffered a lot of losses, but she worked all the way to the outstanding ability, and soon gained a firm foothold in the company."

"It's hard to start a business, but it's also happy, when you go back every day, it's the most relaxing time, the two go to work during the day, and go back at night to share the unhappiness of the day with each other, although there is no money in those years, but it's quite happy."

"I am a slow person, I am not in a hurry to do anything, even if I fail many times, I never think of giving up, which is why I was able to gain a foothold in Qingzhou City later. failed again and again, and stood up again and again, during this period, the basic expenses of the family were basically provided by her, and she sometimes complained, but she knew that she was a knife-mouthed tofu heart.

"She is an acute child, we are the opposite, and this is also the fuse that led us to separate later."

"When my career was about to improve, she was already a well-known lawyer in Qingzhou City, opened her own law firm, and was in full swing for a while, only I was still making trouble in a small company. In a family where women are strong and men are weak, it is inevitable that she will vent her temper with me. ”

Although the two of them quarreled, most of them did not hurt their feelings, she was straightforward and fast-talking, and she forgot after speaking, but I couldn't stand her treating myself like this. It was at this time that she became pregnant, and the two of us reconciled because of the child. But after being happy, I faced many problems, my career was on the rise, and I definitely couldn't take my children. And she, now has her own office, even busier than me, and finally made a compromise for the sake of the child, she transferred the office that was in business, and was ready to devote herself to her husband and children, others don't know, I know how much she needs to pay and give up to make such a decision. At this time, Huo Qidong's eyes showed a little shame.

These things, my father may have finished in a few words, but the real experience is indescribable, although my father was imperfect in such an era, but it was also lucky, the society at that time was in urgent need of development, urgently needed talents, my father just caught up with that wave, and he still has that kind of perseverance, and business mind.

Those years were a lot of ups and downs for my father, his life changed dramatically, and his love life changed invisibly.

Huo Qidong continued, "However, it seems that God takes care of us, since I have this child, my career has gradually improved, to the birth of the child in this short period of ten months, our company's business has expanded very fast, but it has also brought many drawbacks. ”

"My work is busier, not to mention taking care of the children, even going home very little, everything is done by myself, sometimes the business trip is ten days and a half months, she is the kind of anxious character, coupled with the child's noise, the temper is getting bigger and bigger, there is no tenderness, and then I don't come back she will call to urge, I get drunk she will not stand it."

"We may be like many entrepreneurs, we have no money in the early stage, but we have money in the later stage but we have no time to spend with our families, and our temper is also exhausted when facing customers.

"The two quarreled, she was also irritable, quarreled more, people's feelings, passion slowly disappeared, more and more I felt that my temper was incompatible, in the past few years, although I quarreled, but the money was not less, so that after the quarrel, I basically rarely went home."

At this time, she had suspicion again, and her phone calls came all the time, sometimes in meetings, sometimes at night, and so on, causing her temper to get worse and worse. I don't have any nostalgia for her. ”

In the end, the two agreed to divorce, since they are both painful, why insist on it! Her character, the divorce did not drag the mud and water, she chose to take the children out of the house by herself, which is also where I have been guilty since then. ”

He paused for a moment and wanted to serve the water cup on the table, Huo Xiangji got up and handed it to him, and after drinking the water, he continued: "After she left, she gave full play to her characteristics as a strong woman, took the child alone, opened a law firm, and since then she has become bigger and bigger, and she has never returned here. ”

"Occasionally, I would hear about her, but the child was well protected by her, and it was not exposed at all, and few people even knew that I had a son. Our relationship was not vigorous at the beginning, at least it was sweet, but I didn't expect it to be so fragile at the end, and we haven't seen each other since, and for more than 20 years, I want to meet him and say sorry to him. ”

"Many people say that your mother was the trigger for our divorce, they are all wrong, we only knew each other before, but we never had much communication, let alone lead to our divorce. Your mother was born in a rich family, she had more opportunities to choose, but she chose me, so in this life, no matter how bad my temper is, I will not be angry with your mother, because in this life I have failed one woman, and I can't live up to the second. What's more, with your mother's character, we have never had a word of mouth, and we came together in circles before we really found the right person. ”

These words made Huo Xiangji think of himself and Su Jin, the two also met in school, but when they came back, they separated due to misunderstandings, but I don't know who I will end up with, will I be like my father, will I find a woman who really understands me? Maybe I can't find it, Su Jin's character is so good, she is not competitive at all, but she doesn't understand herself, it seems that she is destined to have regrets in this life.

Huo Qidong said: "I want you to find him, I want to give him appropriate compensation, and I want to know if he is doing well?" ”

"Do you know where they are?"

"She has long since died, leaving only her son, and I don't know where she is."

"What's his name?"

"Huo Xiangyan."

"Huo Xiangyan?" Huo Xiangji rummaged through the name in his mind, but he didn't have any impression, he said, "I'll find someone to check!" ”

Huo Qidong nodded, he said the words that had been held in his heart for so many years, and his heart instantly felt a lot more relaxed, and he finally felt a sense of relief, although it was a bit exaggerated, but it was what he felt now.

"When I see him, call him over, I have something to say to him."

"Good!" Huo Xiangji promised his father, he also knew how determined his father needed to say these words, he really felt that his health was not good! will be eager to fulfill his wishes, see his indebted son, make amends to him, get older, just hope that there can be more people around, these he understands.
