While Li Xiaoxiao was driving around in his car, Fang Zhiqiang was already on the highway. Unlike Li Xiaoxiao who is sad and blind, he knows exactly where he is going and what he is going to do.
Driving all the way, getting closer and closer to the destination, the memories became clearer and clearer. At that time, for the first time, when the two were getting ready to get married, Wang Yaxin’s parents didn’t know that he was not Xiaoyu. His father complained about him and was angry with him, but in the end his feelings for Yaxin and Xiaoyu defeated everything, and they finally happily prepared for a simple wedding. Wang Yaxin's mother is so kind, just like her own mother. Fang Zhiqiang's mother passed away a few years ago, so she really felt very close to her at the time. It was really like a family. It was the kind of family he wanted most. .
But in the end, he still hurt the old man again and again. His disappearance before the wedding had already made the old couple who valued face lose their face. He still remembers Wang Yaxin’s mother’s anger at that time. He even seemed to feel the pain from the slap he received from the ground, but he knew that the old man's heart hurt more than this. Who would want to face such a thing? The groom was gone on the wedding day, which was even worse than being slapped in the face.
But in the end, the two elders tolerated them, fulfilled their love, and accepted him again. At that time, Fang Zhiqiang really thought that this would be his family from now on, and they would be his family for life. , every festival like Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Eve in the future will be together with them and their father, and everyone will be together happily.
But reality is always so ruthless. With the collapse of his marriage to Yaxin, all the beautiful dreams he had originally had were shattered. Even now, he still feels a faint pain when he thinks about it. Even if he thinks about it, he forces himself not to think about how the poor two old people faced all this. Yaxin's fate is really too bad, and as a parent, it is even more pitiful, because the pain endured by his children will always be magnified tenfold and projected onto them.
Thinking of the night when they said goodbye, Fang Zhiqiang seemed to hear the sound of his heart breaking again. For him, he can still fall in love with Li Xiaoxiao, use time to smooth away the scars, and slowly forget Wang Yaxin. But for Wang Yaxin's parents, are they going to forget their only daughter and grandson? Could it be that blood ties and family ties can be smoothed over by time? What's more, they are already old and have no one to take care of them... This is the cruelest reality. Only now did Fang Zhiqiang know how many people their mistakes had hurt.
But if he was asked to choose and start over from the beginning, even if he knew he would get hurt, he would still choose Wang Yaxin without hesitation. That was a choice he would never regret no matter how much it hurt, and he would be the love he has no regrets in this life. . It's just that he hopes that they can meet earlier, preferably before Xue Kai, so that he can protect Yaxin from any harm, andThey would not encounter any obstruction from their father, nor would they let the two old people end up in a miserable state. And Xiaoyu will be his biological son, with no estrangement, no misunderstandings, and no words that hurt people like knives...
The wind blew in from the car window, blowing his face with waves, Fang Zhiqiang realized that he had shed tears without realizing it. This is the reality. He has fallen in love with Li Xiaoxiao and has completely given up on Wang Yaxin. The only thing he can do is to occasionally muster the courage to visit the two old people.
The car got off the highway and turned onto the national highway in the county, and then the familiar streets, which were still the same as before, had not changed at all, except for the seasons and the people on the roadside. Although he actually stayed here for almost a month, Fang Zhiqiang felt that all the scenery seemed to be engraved in his bones, and he would not go the wrong way even with his eyes closed.
Just as he got closer to Wang Yaxin’s house, Fang Zhiqiang’s heart became more and more out of control and beat harder. Seeing the community close in front of him, Fang Zhiqiang could hardly hold the steering wheel. Fang Zhiqiang knows that this is the so-called timidity of being close to home - can you not be timid? In a sense, this is his emotional home, another hometown he once had. He did not expect to meet Wang Yaxin, but all the scenes in front of him, every plant and tree, were awakening memories of the past, and they were all related to Wang Yaxin. After all, this is the place where they have enjoyed love and family sweetness, and it is also the place where Wang Yaxin grew up. They chatted and basked in the sun on stone chairs, looking forward to a bright future. There were also slides and amusement facilities. He took Xiaoyu to play there, and Yaxin also played there when he was a child... Fang Zhiqiang looked at all this greedily, It seems that every scene has a shadow of the past, and the air is still filled with the smell of happiness.
Fang Zhiqiang stopped the car at the gate of the community, carried his things and walked slowly in. He wanted to see and miss for a while, but at the same time he didn’t know how to face it. He misses his two elders very much, but what should he say when they actually meet? How to deal with their heartbreak? How to tell them that because of his powerlessness, he lost Yaxin again, and also caused them to be separated from their daughter and grandson, separated from each other? The disappearance before the first wedding had already hurt them thoroughly. The divorce this time directly led to Yaxin's departure. The two elders must hate him now. Fang Zhiqiang is not afraid that they will hate him, and he can bear even beating and scolding himself, but when he thinks of the sadness they have endured, Fang Zhiqiang feels heavy. He could only walk slowly step by step.
On the cement road downstairs of Wang Yaxin’s house, the stone chairs next to them are still there, but the people sitting on them are no longer him and Yaxin, but two or three old people, sitting and chatting, when they see Fang Zhi Carrying large and small bags of things, several old people waved cattail fans and said: "We are here again to visit relatives and give gifts during the festival." Catch these two daysGiving gifts? Didn't you see that the daughter of the old Zhou family came to visit her parents the day before yesterday, and she brought a cart full of things, including alcohol and melatonin, and cigarettes costing several hundred yuan each. ”
“Lao Zhou’s family is blessed, and my daughter is capable and filial. I heard that a supermarket opened in the city can cost hundreds of thousands a year. People are also willing to honor their parents and bring so many things to look at. My parents have gained a lot of benefits, and their family’s faces will be bright. "
An old man shook his head and said: "What does it mean to be blessed or not? When you get older, having children around you is a blessing. The daughter of the old Wang family is quite capable. I heard that she is a barrister in Shanghai. What about now? I heard that he has gone abroad. It is shown on TV every day. There are many sheep farmers. Oh, that Australia, he has gone abroad anyway, what is the use? If they don't come back in the future, no one will ask if the old couple is hot or cold. The older they are, the more they will suffer. ”
