Chapter 16: Growth & Transformation
Early the next morning, Ruchu was sent to the school gate by his father
As soon as Ruchu arrived in the classroom, Wen Yuan came to Ruchu with a large bag of snacks and apologized to Ruchu
As early as he said, "I said yesterday that if I take the initiative to talk to you again, I will be a puppy, so I will not talk to you again"
Wen Yuan said, "Now I take the initiative to talk to you, you are not a puppy, I am, Wang, Wang, Wang, right?" Can you forgive me? ”
Ruchu looked at Wen Yuanxue's dog barking and a large bag of snacks, and his heart was not so angry. In fact, Wen Yuan was not angry with Wen Yuan from beginning to end, who would really be angry with the person he liked? It's just angry with yourself, angry that you can't control yourself and like someone who doesn't like you.
Wen Yuan looked at Ruchu and said, "If you don't forgive me, then you have to take these snacks, all of them are your favorite food, and they are specially bought for you."
Ruchu didn't want to let Wen Yuan go so easily, and deliberately asked, "Did you really buy it for me?" ”
Wen Yuan was a little weak-hearted, and said, "Anyway, you can just take it" After speaking, regardless of whether Ruchu wanted it or not, Wen Yuan just stuffed the snack into Ruchu's hand. Wen Yuan thought, even if Ruchu didn't say to forgive himself, but he was willing to talk to himself, which was a good sign.
These snacks were carefully selected by Lin Xuan, and when he first ate them, he found that they were really what Wen Yuan said, and he really thought that Wen Yuan bought them for him, and when he saw Wen Yuan's sincerity, he forgave Wen Yuan
In the afternoon, after school, the three of them walked on the road together, and took the initiative to ask Wen Yuan about Hu Zheng, and Wen Yuan said, "Hu Zheng can go back to school tomorrow"
Early the next morning, Hu Zheng really came to school early. The four of them also went to the cafeteria together to have lunch together as usual. In the afternoon, we walked together after school. Ruchu didn't ask the three of them about what happened in the past few days, because Ruchu felt that Hu Zheng didn't say it, there must be her own reasons, but she didn't expect Hu Zheng to take the initiative to talk about it
Hu Zheng's father Hu Jin, after graduating from high school, went to other places with others to learn to do business, the business did very well at the beginning, and after earning some money and returning to his hometown, he married Hu's mother and had Hu Zheng under the mediation of his parents.
After having Hu Zheng, the business became bigger and bigger, and he made more and more money, Hu's father swelled, and later mixed with some business partners and became addicted to gambling, and the gambling business was also transferred, and he lost nine out of ten bets, and Hu Jin lost all the money and begged his previous business partner to give him a job. It's just that Hu Jin didn't quit gambling, but every time he lost a gamble, he would get drunk and yell at Hu Zheng and Hu's mother to vent himself. Hu Jin's non-stop gambling has hurt his family, and he has sold everything he can to pay off his debts.
Hu's mother's breakfast stall was still opened at the expense of Hu Zheng's grandmother's family, but Hu Zheng's mother continued to endure not to divorce Hu Jin, until Hu Jin found another woman outside and brought her to Hu Zheng's mother, Hu Zheng's mother divorced Hu Zheng's father.
At that time, although Hu Zheng was still young, Hu Zheng was very angry that his mother had been immersed in the pain of divorce from his irresponsible father. Hu Zheng didn't understand why his mother was in love with someone who could only bring her pain and suffering. Other children may be most afraid of their parents' divorce, but Hu Zheng looks forward to Hu's mother and Hu's father divorcing every day. Hu Zheng has always believed that after divorcing Hu's father, she and Hu's mother can live better
But on the night of Hu's father's death, Hu's mother explained everything to Hu Zheng clearly.
Hu's mother said that she knew that Hu Zheng had always hated Hu's father, and she also knew that Hu Zheng had been blaming her, blaming her for why she didn't divorce Hu's dad earlier, and blaming her for why she was willing to continue to suffer rather than be kind to herself. For Hu's mother, Hu's father is her god, her everything.
In the years when they got married, Dad Hu was also very good to Mother Hu, once, Mother Hu had a few words with Grandma Hu, and Father Hu knew, so he found Grandma Hu and said that if he embarrassed Mother Hu again, he would take Mother Hu to move out and not live with Grandma Hu and them.
At that time, Dad Hu's business was rising step by step, and he was making more and more money. Others persuaded Hu's mother to follow Hu's father inseparably and prevent him from coming outside, but Hu's mother was willing to believe in him unconditionally, and he did not live up to Hu's mother's trust, not only did not come outside, but also became better and better to Hu's mother, buying all kinds of good things for Hu's mother, which made Hu's aunts and aunts very envious of Hu's mother, that is, from Hu Zheng's three or four years old when Hu's father became addicted to gambling, he lost his temper with Hu's mother.
And every time he loses his temper, he is actually angry at why he can't control his hands, and his tantrum with Hu's mother is actually to force Hu's mother to divorce him. Every time he came back from gambling, he would quarrel, and when he finally calmed down, he would tell Hu's mother to divorce him and leave here with Hu Zheng.
But Hu's mother didn't give up, always thinking that he could quit, but he didn't expect that he would bring back a woman from outside in order to force Hu's mother to divorce him. At that time, Hu's mother finally understood that he had made up his mind to separate from Hu Zheng and them.
The little Hu Zheng didn't know what was going on, and he always thought that what he saw was the whole truth, and since Hu Zheng remembered, the family had been constantly arguing. Hu Zheng only knows that in order to earn a little money, Hu's mother gets up early every day and is very hard to be greedy for darkness, so Hu Zheng has been very sensible since he was a child, and at the same time he lacks a sense of security.
Hu's mother told Hu Zheng why she couldn't drag it out and was unwilling to divorce back then, because Hu's mother had been thinking about the time with Hu's father, although they had no money in those years, they were really happy, and always thought that Hu's father could turn back and give Hu Zheng a complete home.
Hu Zheng hates Hu's father because of his gambling habit so that their mother and daughter live a life of being collected for debts in three days and two ends, but what Hu Zheng doesn't know is that in fact, Hu's father loves her the most or her, in recent years, even if he was threatened by the creditor with his life, he still gave Hu Zheng the money he needed to go to school, these years, Hu Zheng used every penny for food and clothing was given by him, he has not let Hu Zheng's mother tell Hu Zheng, he knows that Hu Zheng does not like him, he is afraid that Hu Zheng will refuse the money in the future.
When he came home three years ago, he came to give Hu Zheng money. That time, he gave all the money he had saved for Hu Zheng over the years to Hu's mother at one time, and said that he was going to go out to earn some money, and Hu's mother kept the money for Hu Zheng.
Hu's mother didn't understand the meaning of what he said at the time, and now that I think about it, he should have known that he was sick at that time. If he had taken the money given to Hu Zheng to see a doctor, he would not have left so early.
A few days ago, Hu's mother received a letter with Hu Zheng on the cover of the letter. The store was busy for two days, and Hu's mother forgot to give it to Hu Zheng, which was all what Hu's father wanted to say to Hu Zheng, so Hu's mother took out the letter from the drawer of the bedside table
The letter reads
How are you with my beloved daughter? I must have been gone by the time you read this letter.
I knew about my illness three years ago, and the doctor told me that it would cost a lot of money to treat this disease, and I thought that an irresponsible husband, an incompetent father, and an unfilial son like me, I could only bring you and your mother pain if I lived, and it would be better to die quietly. I know that you have always hated me, hated me for failing you and your mother, hated me for being addicted to gambling, in fact, I am also very myself, I hate myself for why I can't control myself, why do I get involved in the vice of gambling.
I left a sum of money for you to study in the future, don't refuse me, otherwise I will not feel at ease. In the future, it will be you and your mother, you must listen to your mother, it is not easy for her to take care of you alone, if you can, I hope your mother can find another person who can take care of your mother and daughter.
I know you have a strong personality and like to take on everything by yourself, but if you encounter any difficulties, I hope you can talk to your good friends and your mother, maybe they can help you, don't hold it alone, it will make them worry about you. Also, if you are looking for a boyfriend in the future, you must find someone who is responsible and responsible for you, and don't find someone who is irresponsible like your father, in that case you will be hurt. Well, I don't know what else to write, I always want to tell you a lot of things, but I don't know where to start when I pick up the pen. The last thing I want to tell you is that although I can't be with you and your mother anymore, I will always watch you from heaven. I hope that you will be happy and happy from now on, so that I can rest in peace.
Hu Jin is unique
There are dense watermarks on the letter, it should be that my father wrote this letter while crying, Hu Zheng thought to himself.
After reading the letter, Hu Zheng hugged his mother and cried, Hu's mother didn't speak, let Hu Zheng hold her and cry, crying for about ten minutes, Hu Zheng stopped, wiped away his tears and looked at his mother and said very firmly, "Mom, I don't hate my father anymore, I don't hate anymore, I promise you that although my father is gone, I will definitely take good care of you, and I promise to study harder to let you live a good life in the future" Hu's mother looked at her daughter, nodded, and said with relief, "Okay, it will be"
For Hu's mother, Hu Zheng's father and a big cry are comforting things, because it means that the daughter finally no longer hates her father and finally lets go of everything she has carried in the past.
Hu Zheng said all these things, calmly. As at the beginning, they looked at the current Hu Zheng, and they always felt that it was different from the Hu Zheng they were familiar with before, and no one could say which point was different, it was just a feeling, but this difference made them feel that it was a good change.
Maybe this is growth, after experiencing pain, I was not defeated by pain, but became more and more courageous in the wind and rain.
Everyone's growth path will be accompanied by a variety of painful experiences, and only by experiencing the pain of molting can we create a better version of ourselves.
