"Then your parents must blame you, right?" Zhou Chi asked.
"Yes, they only have me as their only son. They have worked hard to save money for half their lives, just to give me a wife and children to carry on the family line. But at this critical moment, I, an unfilial son, ran away. I hated it at the beginning. They all wanted to remove me from the family tree and disown me as their son. I remember when I came home for the first time after joining the army, my father chased me all over the village with a rolling pin and beat me." At this point, Liu Changsheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, "If it weren't for my mother holding me back, I really wouldn't have been able to enter the house that day."
Zhou Chi knew when Liu Changsheng returned home. That year, when Southern Xinjiang was defeated, Lu Zhishan returned to Beijing in despair, and Zhou Ran also left the battlefield and came to Guangxi to join him. At that time, Liu Changsheng could have been in He found a good job in the army, but Liu Changsheng left the army decisively and followed Zhou Ran to Guangxi. Counting the time, when Liu Changsheng came to Guangxi to join him, he should go back to his hometown in Guilin first.
"I was already twenty-seven years old at that time, and the children of the people in the village who were older than me were already in their teens. Let alone children, they had not even married a wife yet, and after all these years My life and death have been uncertain, but my parents are worried about me and hate me," Liu Changsheng continued, "Looking at me coming back, why don't they catch me and beat me to death? Later, they finally let me into the house. My mother's side. While wiping away her tears, she was cooking for me. My father was squatting in the corner smoking a pipe. The old man was so angry that he still ignored me. Later, my mother secretly told me that my father was angry with me for not marrying someone back then. Miss Zhou, it’s said that Miss Zhou later married a girl from a neighboring village. Miss Zhou had such a good belly that she gave birth to three fat boys in five years, which made my father jealous to death.”
Zhou Chi couldn't help but laugh: "No wonder I chase you all over the village."
"Haha, yes," Liu Changsheng also laughed, with thin eye lines appearing in the corners of his eyes. The middle-aged man, who was almost forty years old, had a peaceful smile on his face. He took a sip of tea and continued, " That time I stayed at home for half a month, but my parents made plans for me to get married again, but they made me worried to death, so I told my parents that I already have a sweetheart, and I will never marry her except her in this life. I was so happy that I hurriedly found someone to propose marriage. I was so busy that I stopped him and said that I hadn't caught up with the girl yet. My parents were stunned at that time. I also said that the girl was very temperamental and difficult to catch up with, maybe. It might take ten or eight years, and then... my father chased me all over the village, and this time even my mother didn't stop me. I was beaten so badly by my father. "
In fact, Liu Changsheng had been fighting among the dead for so many years, how could he not be able to defeat an old man like his father? But where in the world is there a son who can beat his father
Zhou Chi imagined that scene and laughed even harder: "Then they are still willing to let you out in the end?"
"There is nothing I can do. My soul is no longer with me, how can they keep it?" Liu Changsheng said with a smile, "But I can be considered promising. I did not pursue him for ten or eight years, but only pursued him for seven years. , your sister will marry me."
Zhou Chi looked at the smile on Liu Changsheng's face and felt a little uncomfortable: "So at that time, you knew that the eldest sister's heart was not with you?"
"Yes, I know." Liu Changsheng nodded.
Zhou Chi was puzzled and frowned: "Then why are you willing to wait seven years?"
