We departed from Hongqiao Airport, arrived in Kunming and then transferred, and arrived quickly from Kunming to Lijiang.

When I was in Lijiang, my father began to sigh. I haven't been here for a long time, it has changed a lot, and the traffic was not so convenient before, but now Lijiang has also built an airport, and it is very convenient to go back and forth.

Transferring to the ancient city by car, my father only looked out the window all the way. It's changed a lot in the past few years. Lijiang has built an airport, increased railway routes, and now more and more tourists are coming to Kunming and Lijiang, and tourism has boosted the economy of the entire region.

"When I used to come here, it was still an empty space, and now it's a small town. The change is really too much. Dad sighed at these changes, and as time passed, it was inevitable that he would remember something.

"Yes, I haven't been back for a few years, and I'm surprised when I just came back, and the town is changing so fast. You didn't see our home, and now it's upside down. This is true, and the current economic development rate and national life have clearly entered a new big stage. At the very least, traffic has advanced a considerable distance.

"When I used to come here, I had to take the train for a long time, but now it's so convenient to fly to my doorstep. At that time, there were not so many cars from Kunming to Lijiang, and you see how good it is to have a bus for a while now. ”

I nodded, now everything is changing and moving rapidly, I left home as a child full of ambition and ambition, and now I have been honed into an ordinary person without a single edge. Dad, he came here more than 20 years ago, I am afraid that he was also an ambitious and enthusiastic young man, now look at him, the old back, the old face, he has completely changed now. Things are people, time has passed, I'm afraid that's what it looks like.

"Do you still remember this place, and can you remember where it is?" I asked him, and now he was looking back on his old memories, his old shadows.

"A lot of them don't remember. It's been a long time, and it's changing too fast. Heck, people are really old, I used to love this place, I came here at least once a year. He spoke as he was still looking for something.

Yes, the years are unforgiving, and we have all changed.

"The most unexpected and surprising thing I was to meet your mother at that time, which can be regarded as fate." When Dad spoke, he blindfolded him sadly, "It's just that I didn't realize that I actually hurt her." She was too young to have gone that early. ”

"It's not your fault, it's my mother's life. She may be destined to be alone. "I remember when I was younger, there was no shortage of suitors around my mother, it was just that she didn't want to give people trouble. With a child, everywhere you go is to cause trouble for others, maybe my mother thought so at the time.

"I can't atone for her in my life. I just want to see her and talk to her. I owe her more than just failing her. I hurt her, and she has no place to complain in her life. ”

I didn't say anything more, I could only hold his hand, and what my mother had endured in her life was far from being able to explain in a few words.

got out of the car, but Dad insisted on walking in. The five-flowered stone slabs of the ancient city are always wet, and we walked on them step by step, and no one spoke again.

It was very hot and there were a lot of people, and I couldn't hold on after walking for a while.

"Dad, let's call someone to pick it up, you won't be able to stand it if you go on like this." I took out my mobile phone and called my uncle, but we didn't inform them when we went out, because I was afraid that they might get excited if they found out who I was bringing over.

"Let's just call a car over, or don't bother." The housekeeper was very polite and thought about us all the way.

"It's okay and it's not troublesome, it's hard to get a car at this time." I insisted on someone to pick us up, "Uncle, I'm Xingzhu, I'm in Sifang City now, you can drive to pick us up, I'll bring someone back." Yes, I came to see you and wanted to surprise you. Okay, okay, come quickly, I love myself and am waiting for you here. ”

My uncle was very happy to hear that I was back and came to pick me up immediately.

"Let's wait a minute, my uncle will be here soon." I'm really tired, Xu Wei is right, my idea of following is really not very wise.

"Then let's take a rest first, in fact, Xingzhu, you don't have to accompany me, there are some things I should explain in person." Dad understood me very well and he knew the purpose of my trip.

"I also want to come and see, you know, once the baby is born, I have less chance and time to come back. I miss her too. ”

"Uncle, here and here." I saw my uncle's car from afar, and waved my hand, "Uncle, aren't you busy, you're here so soon." ”

"You're here, I'm busy and I'm going to give you time." Uncle said as he drove the door and got out of the car, "How did you remember that you are back now, and you brought someone here, didn't Zhuo Yu come, he is busy and you are here alone." ”

"I'm here with my dad."

Sure enough, my uncle was immediately stunned.

"Who are you coming with?"

"Me and my dad, he's right there, you should have seen it." I beckoned my dad to come over, and the butler immediately helped him over.

"Hello, we've met, my name is Xu Xiaochun."

"You let him go, I don't want to see him, let him go." Grandma shouted hysterically, she was really excited, she recognized her father as soon as she saw him.

The man who had abducted her daughter, the man who had left her daughter alone and finally died in a foreign land.

"My aunt took my grandmother to another place, leaving us behind.

"I didn't expect to see you again." The uncle spoke first, silently lighting a cigarette in a very small voice.

"We didn't expect, I didn't expect me to have a daughter." Dad too, lighting a cigarette, they are like old friends getting together, talking about ordinary things, catching up and chatting.

I just sat not far away and watched them. I was just a bystander.

"When my sister ran away from home, we knew that no one could persuade her to come back. Once she decides on something, no one will control her. Uncle said, he didn't have any emotions, maybe he was used to it, used to losing my mother.

"yes, she has a unique personality. She would stick to what she thought she would, and I just didn't expect her to come to me at all costs. ”

"She is better than me, she has her own ideals and opinions, she is better than me in all aspects. It's just that this personality has put her in a state where she can't turn back. ”

"It's me who failed her, and I didn't get to the point where things would turn out to be later."

"Neither of us expected her to be so determined. She left the house at the time, and we thought it was just her impulse. "My uncle smoked cigarette after cigarette, but his voice was choked," she brought herself to a point where there was no turning back. ”

"All I know is that she left me, and I went to look for her, and I came and came back here to look for her, but there was no news. I didn't know she was pregnant. ”

The world is unpredictable, if Dad knew about his mother's situation at the time, or if he had a little bit of news about his mother at that time, he would never give up looking for her.

"She went to look for you and didn't come back for a long time, and she didn't even come back when you came later. She must have been hiding somewhere. When she returned, months later, she had a big belly and a haggard face. She looked very pitiful at that time, but she was very determined to insist on giving birth to the child. ”

Dad didn't speak, his eyes drooped, and his eyes were gloomy.

"Xingzhu was born prematurely, more than seven months old, very thin, we all felt that we might not be able to support her, but Su Ning insisted on supporting her, she never thought of giving up on her. Xingzhu was actually very obedient and sensible when she was a child, and Su Ning took her outside, so she was very strange to us for a while. However, Su Ning still taught her very well, you have a very sensible daughter, this is your blessing, you should treat Xingzhu well and compensate her for all the things you owe them. ”

"I will, I will make up for everything I owe them in this life."

I accompanied my father to my mother's grave with my uncle.

The cemetery must have been visited often, the front of the monument was very clean, and the flowers placed on it were still fresh.

Put flowers and bow. I stepped aside and left the place to my dad and asked him to say the apology that was more than twenty years late.

"Uncle, you must be surprised, aren't you? I used to hate this man very much, why forgive him now. My uncle and I stepped aside and watched my father crouch alone in front of the tombstone, whispering something.

"I was surprised, I expected this day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." My uncle was very calm, he was a man who had experienced ups and downs, and he could see it better than me, "Actually, there is something we have been hiding from you. ”

I was surprised.

"What's the matter?"

"Actually, your mother always wanted us to take you to meet your father, but we didn't do what she wanted."

"Why, why would my mom want me to recognize her, didn't she want to disturb that man's life. If that's the case, why would she have wronged herself for so many years? "I'm confused, if I can go and get to know my father, then my mother can also be with me, we should be a family.

"Silly boy, your mother is so kind, how can she destroy other people's families. She asked you to recognize him just to let you have a father and a home, and as for herself, she could live however she wanted. She'd rather live alone, so I said she was too kind and too stupid. So we are also selfish, not to let you go to your father's side, since he can live up to your mother, then we don't want him to get anything more. ”

It turns out that this is the case, it turns out that the uncle and they have been contradictory. They've been taking revenge on Dad in their own way, it's just that their way is too kind.
