The next morning, Yu Xia got up early in the morning and went downstairs dressed solemnly, while Yu Chenggong had already started to eat breakfast and read the newspaper by the way.

"It's rare for you to go to see your mother once, do you have to dress so uncomfortable?"

"Dad, are you sure I'm going to see my mom in a glamorous outfit?" Yu Xia looked at her father who didn't know whether to say too old-fashioned or too trendy.

She dresses like this every year to see her mother, and she has to be read like this by Yu Chenggong every year, and she doesn't bother to sit down and eat breakfast every year.

"Gui Sou, today's preserved egg and lean porridge is super good!"

"If you like it, eat more."

Maybe it's because today's itinerary is a little heavier, even if everyone wants to desperately whitewash the peace and pretend not to care, but this kind of deliberateness makes people feel more distressed.

After breakfast, father and daughter set off for the cemetery.

Every year today, only Yu Xia and Yu Chenggong, not even Ye Duchen, is just a time that belongs to their family.

Yu Xia rarely drove honestly, the speed was always up to about 60 yards, and not long after the departure, the sky began to drift with a continuous drizzle, which was a rainy day full of depression.

Except for the laughter on the radio, the father and daughter remained silent.

Afraid, the person who speaks out will cut the scar in each other's hearts.

After parking the car, Yu Chenggong walked to a flower shop next to the cemetery in an old-fashioned manner, holding a large bouquet of perfume lilies and chatting with the clerk with a smile.

"Mr. Yu is here, knowing that you are here today, I have already left flowers for you, today's lilies are very fresh, and your wife will be in a good mood when she sees it."

"Really? It's really troublesome, my family, I like perfume lily the most. ”

It's just a casual chat, but Yu Xia on the side has the urge to cry. Since she was born, her father has become a person, so lonely for more than 20 years, although she loves her mother very much, but she really can't bear to spend the rest of her life alone with her father, and she has persuaded him to marry again, it doesn't matter if she doesn't ask the other party to be young and beautiful, and she doesn't want the other party to be knowledgeable.

As long as it's someone who can make dad feel not lonely, it's fine.

But this kind of thought, Yu Chenggong has never had it once.

"Your mother followed me in the most difficult time, she left like this, how can I be happy?"

"Xia Xia, don't feel that Dad is lonely, and don't be afraid of Dad being lonely, in fact, I am very busy, and I am busy remembering your mother every day, so I have never been alone."

"Daughter, I miss your mother very much, I miss you very much."

Yu Xia didn't know how a man could be so affectionate, but he was glad that his mother had no love in her life.

Holding the perfume lily in front of Dao Axue's tombstone, Yu Chenggong put away the umbrella and leaned aside, squatted down with the prepared tools, and dealt with the weeds around her tombstone, not borrowing others' hands from beginning to end.

"Xia Xia, don't touch it, this grass is very sharp, it's not good to cut yourself." Yu Chenggong didn't let Yu Xia help, but did the work in his hands silently by himself. I don't know how long it took for the area around the tombstone to be cleaned.

Beloved wife Mingxue

The four words on the tombstone are simple, but they are the love of Yu Chenggong's life.

"I seem to look more and more like my mother?" Yu Xia looked at the old photo on the tombstone, which was what Mingxue looked like when she was young.

"Well, but not as pretty as your mother."

"Dad, are you sure your heart is going to be so biased?"

"Nonsense, what kind of eccentricity, Ah Xue is beautiful."

When she is gone, in the most beautiful years; And he is in the twilight of his life, and he is sad to think about it.

"Dad, do you want to tell me the story about you and your mother?" She knew that her father loved her mother very much, but she didn't know what happened.

With such deep feelings, there must be an unforgettable story, right?

"Want to know? Don't tell you! Hehe, Xia Xia, go down first, let me whisper something to your mother! ”

Yu Xia laughed at him for being romantic, but he still obediently walked in the direction of the car, leaving his father alone in space.

But halfway through, he found that he had brought the umbrella with him, and looked up at the sky, and now that the rain had stopped, he was worried that it would rain again again, so he turned back and wanted to leave the umbrella to him.

"Ah Xue, our daughter is 24 years old, isn't she very beautiful?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of her and not let you down, what you said to me, I have always kept it in my heart."

"Alas, I'm getting older, and I can't seem to say the sweet words of the past, but ah...... Xue, I miss you so much. ”

Walking around the corner and hearing his father's words, Yu Xia stopped his movements, listening to his father's calm tone full of nostalgia, listening to his long-lasting love, if his mother is alive, she must be happy, right? This is carefully collected and cherished by a man.

"But, I'm also worried about Xia Xia and Twilight......"

"I'm sorry for that kid, and I'm sorry for his father, but looking at Xia Xia, who loves him so much, I can't say anything if I persuade her to let go, Ah Xue!" "Ah Xue, I once thought that as long as I was good enough to Twilight, good enough to atone for my sins, even if the truth was revealed one day, he still couldn't forgive him, but what should my Xia Xia do? What should I give to her love?

Love. ”

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

Yu Chenggong's face was full of sorrow, but the moment he heard Yu Xia's voice, he didn't even have the courage to turn around and look at her daughter, afraid that one day he would see disappointment in her precious daughter's eyes. "Dad? What are you talking about? What's sorry? Why are you sorry? Yu Xia trembled slightly with every word she spoke, trying to hear her intuition tell her not to know, that was not an answer she could afford, but another voice was shouting, it was about them

A vital part for the future.

"Dad, you say! What the hell are you hiding from me? Why do you say you're sorry for Twilight, sorry for his father, why? ”

The rain in the sky, which had stopped, continued to fall again, and the father and daughter looked at each other with red eyes, painfully watching each other unable to find the exit. Yu Chenggong's expression was so gloomy, he wanted to hide the stain of his life or let his most important person know.

"Dad!" Yu Xia was screaming heartbreakingly, Yu Chenggong couldn't bear her so much pain, and let her know what she should know after touching her face.

"Xia Xia, today I want to tell you a story, a story that maybe you don't know."

…… Pull the time back to the spring of 1992, the upsurge of domestic reform and opening up has just begun, in that era of opportunities and crises everywhere, Yu Chenggong has worked hard every day, but unfortunately he still lacks a little luck and talent, and he can't live like a person when he is over forty years old, follow

A big brother who mixes the underworld is a horse boy who is not big or small.

"Third brother, don't worry, if the ghosts and those people dare to come over and smash the field for us today, we will beat them back!" At that time, Yu Chenggong was wearing a wide old shirt, smoking a miscellaneous cigarette, and holding an iron rod in his hand, he was a gangster.

"Success, I've handed over Neon Alley to you, don't let me down too much."

"Third brother, don't worry, you are absolutely reliable when I succeed in doing things."

Yu Chenggong in 1992 was such a person, as a small follower, not much of interest, occasionally went to the handicap to collect protection money, occasionally took his brothers and other gangs to fight, and occasionally did the work of transporting dirty goods, he is a seemingly omnipotent, but he lives every day and is a frightened person.

"Oh, I'm tired."

"Success, what's wrong?"

"Brother Yu Xiu, you're finally done! Please, please help me look at these accounts, I'm so big. Liu San handed Neon Alley into his hands, which contained a lot of work to rely on his brain to read the ledger. Yu Chenggong is an orphan who grew up in the darkest corner of Shenyang City since he was a child and has little culture and the words are slowly recognized after knowing his wife let him fight okay let

He can't do this.

"Oh, you! I told you earlier that you should learn more things in normal times, and it will always be useful in the future. Ye Yuxiu walked to Yu Chenggong's side, took the account book he couldn't read, and quickly flipped through it to find out the problem and tell him how to deal with it.

"Wow, Brother Yu Xiu! Wear! I'll serve you for the whole gang! Ye Yuxiu joined Liu San's hall a long time later than himself, he said that he used to be a businessman, and then failed in business, so he wanted to take risks and find the fastest way to make money before joining the gang.

Liu San asked him to follow Yu Chenggong's side, but it didn't take long for Yu Chenggong to be "defeated" by Ye Yuxiu's knowledge, but he was like a serious and studious student, and he humbly asked him for advice if he had any questions. In this back and forth, the two recognized and established a deep friendship.

"Actually, it's not that hard."

"Alas, I'm too old to learn any of this."

"As long as you are willing to study hard, it's never too late."

Syllable!

Yu Chenggong slapped the table as if he had been opened up by Ye Yuxiu's words, and stood up arrogantly.

"Good! Brother Yu Xiu, if you say that I can do it, I will definitely do it! Let's go, I'll worship you as a teacher after I invite you to drink! ”

Ye Yuxiu looked at the honest Yu Chenggong and smiled without saying a word, got up and followed behind him and left the hall to a food stall downstairs at Yu Chenggong's house. "I'm sorry, Brother Yu Xiu, the children at home are still young and can't go too far, so I can only invite you to eat and drink here, don't mind." Ye Yuxiu knew that Yu Chenggong's wife left early, and the family hired a maid to help take care of the children, and he was able to avoid the entertainment in the gang at ordinary times

Measure and hide, and even pull him to eat near his own home, just so that he can rush back to accompany the child early.

"No, it's good here." Ordered a few cheap appetizers, and the two of them chatted while drinking one cup after another.
