Su Yicen followed Han Dong into the house, and when he saw his gray-haired parents, his emotions suddenly got out of control.
He walked forward quickly, knelt down in front of his parents, and cried, "Dad, Mom... I'm back..."
She didn't know how to express the guilt in her heart. It had been twenty-three years since they last saw each other. Her parents had grown old and she hadn't been able to take care of them for even a single day. All she left them was sadness, disappointment and a three-year-old child. How did they survive these twenty-three years
Su Yicen burst into tears out of guilt.
Su Yue and Su Hang were startled by their mother's behavior, and then thought it was the etiquette of the Yan people, so they also knelt down and called them grandpa and grandma.
Avery was stunned. He had heard Yi Cen talk about many customs of Yan Country, but he had never heard Yi Cen say that one should kneel down when meeting parents.
To kneel or not to kneel
After a moment's hesitation, Avery chose to kneel and follow the local customs.
This scared the old couple. Why did they kneel down as soon as they entered the door
"Get up, get up." Su Qingsong went to pull his daughter, but Su Yicen refused to get up. He was too old to pull her up.
Seeing this, Han Dong stepped forward to support the aunt and gave her a hand. Only then did Su Qingsong pull his daughter up.
The old couple were not angry in the first place, but after hearing the four members of the family kneel down like this, they were just heartbroken, and the three of them hugged each other and cried.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
"Don't say anything. It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back." Lu Yu burst into tears.
Looking back, she was also wrong back then. Even though Cen Cen was wrong, she couldn't drive the child away.
"Grandpa, grandma, please go in and sit down and talk." Han Dong saw that the three of them were immersed in the excitement of reuniting after a long separation and the father and daughter and mother and daughter reconciling their past grudges, so they forgot to move, so that three of them were still kneeling at the door.
After being reminded by Han Dong, Su Qingsong asked everyone to get up quickly and go into the house to sit down.
When Su Yue passed by Han Dong, she called him brother-in-law sweetly, and little Su Hang followed suit.
Han Dong found it quite useful.
Su Yicen finally calmed down and introduced her husband and children to her parents.
The old couple felt uncomfortable looking at the three foreigners, but their two children were well-behaved and their son-in-law was respectful to them, so they accepted this reality.
"Mom, where's Xiaobei?" Su Yicen didn't see Xiaobei.
The old couple looked at Han Dong at the same time.
Han Dong said: "Ran Ran has a temporary job and is on a business trip."
As soon as she heard it, she knew it was an excuse. Su Yicen was dejected. Ranran must hate her and don't want to see her.
Lu Yu patted her daughter's hand soothingly: "We have to give Ranran some time."
Su Yicen nodded. She was in the wrong. She abandoned her daughter in the country and didn't even know her daughter's name. She kept calling her Xiaobei and Xiaobei. She was so derelict in her duty and was not worthy of being a mother. It was normal for her daughter to be angry with her and not recognize her.
After dinner, Han Dong chatted with Avery and Su Yue, so that they would not feel left out and so that their grandparents could have a good chat with their aunt. Twenty-three years of longing, the grievances and grudges involved, could not be expressed in just a few words.
Han Dong has good hearing. He heard his grandmother say, "So many years have passed. Now you can finally tell us who Ranran's father is?"
Han Dong's heart trembled and he concentrated on listening to what his aunt said.
After waiting for a while, the aunt said, "Dad, Mom, let's not talk about this anymore, okay?"
Han Dong sighed silently, still refusing to say it! But this is unfair to Ran Ran. You created a life, so you have the responsibility and obligation to let Ran Ran know where her life came from. This is the minimum respect for life.
Han Dong felt that his aunt was selfish.
"Actually, Yi Cen has always missed Ran Ran. Su Yue's nickname is Xiao Bei. She said that calling her Xiao Bei is like calling her eldest daughter." Avery spoke for his wife.
"She has wanted to return home for a long time, but I just couldn't find the time. I still have two children to take care of at home. Han Dong, I hope you can communicate with Su Ran. It's not that her mother doesn't want her."
Han Dong smiled awkwardly but politely, "You help your wife, and I have to help my wife. The facts are in front of us. You can't heal the pain in Ranran's heart by saying that you miss her. Missing her is of no use. When Ranran needed her mother's love the most, she was not here. You had two children to take care of and couldn't leave, but you left three-year-old Ranran behind. It's not justifiable."
"Brother-in-law, our family celebrates my sister's birthday on May 28th every year. Although my sister is not here, we will light candles for her and sing birthday songs." Su Yue said.
Han Dong said bluntly: "What you are doing is meaningless to Ran Ran. If you really miss her, even if you can't come back, you can write her a letter or make a phone call to let her feel your care from the other side of the ocean. Maybe today she will be full of expectations and go to greet you happily."
They wanted him to be a mouthpiece, and he also hoped that his words could reach his aunt. If you are wrong, you are wrong. There is no need to make so many excuses. You should be sincere and admit that you are wrong. This is the correct way to communicate.
Ran Ran has grown up without a mother, and she is so outstanding, what is she asking for? It's just an explanation.
Now it was Avery's turn to feel embarrassed. It was obvious that this man loved Su Ran very much.
"Brother-in-law, can I talk to my sister on the phone?" Su Hang asked.
Han Dong was in a dilemma. It was not easy to refuse a child's request, but what if Ranran didn't want to answer the call
Han Dong said: "I'll send her a message to see if she is available now."
Su Ran received the message and replied: Find an excuse to refuse.
What should a brother who has never met call her? He doesn't even know her, okay
"In my opinion, your mother just doesn't dare to come forward herself, so she asked your brother and sister to come forward." Ning Xi expressed contempt.
That's possible, but Han Dong said that her two younger brothers and sisters are very outstanding and polite, or they are just curious about her as an older sister.
After receiving the reply, Han Dong apologized, "They are reading the script together, so it is not convenient to talk on the phone for now. Let's do it another day!"
Little Su Hang hung his head in disappointment.
"Brother-in-law, where is my sister on business trip? Can I visit her on set?" Su Yue had never seen a filming and was quite curious.
Han Dong: Uh…
The person is upstairs, where can I visit him
"Your sister doesn't even let me visit her on set," Han Dong said.
If even he can't go, you can't go either. This reason is very strong.
"Tell me your sister's cell phone number and I'll call her myself. Don't worry, I won't call now, I'll call tomorrow." Su Yue came up with another plan when the first one failed.
She realized that her brother-in-law was wholeheartedly on her sister's side, so she couldn't count on him and had to rely on herself.
Han Dong: “…”
The top student has a good brain. If you ask him for his phone number, should you give it to him or not
If you don’t give it to her, she is her sister after all, and they are related by blood.
Give it to her, I’m afraid Ranran will be unhappy.
His sister-in-law really knows how to give him difficult problems.
