Lu Zhixin went to Hong Kong to spend the New Year with her father, and the two simply greeted each other through text messages.
Even though Xu Tingsheng had invited him before, Tan Yao still stayed in Yanzhou. Perhaps for him, watching other people's family reunion is more likely to touch the scene and hurt his feelings.
While on the phone, Ye Qing's voice came from beside him.
Xu Tingsheng was shocked.
Tan Yao explained that it was because Ye Qing quarreled with her elder brother Ye Tan during the New Year's Eve dinner at home and ran out. Anyway, they were all alone, so they barely got together.
"Brother Xu, don't get me wrong. I'm actually annoying her to death." Tan Yao said.
Xu Tingsheng smiled and said: "I don't misunderstand, don't quarrel when you are older. In fact, you are capable enough to quarrel with Ye Qing. It is estimated that you are the only one out of hundreds of thousands of men in Yanzhou."
After hesitating for a long time, Xu Tingsheng sent a text message to Li Wan'er: "Happy New Year, go out alone, take care of yourself, remember to tell me if you have anything to do."
Li Wan'er quickly came back and said, "Well, I will take care of myself. Happy New Year, you are one year older, and it would be great if I don't grow old with you."
It was after twelve o'clock that Xiao Xiang Ning received the call, and she dared to make this call secretly while her parents were asleep while she was watching the new year. It is the little things in life and study.
As for Wu Yuewei, it never occurred to her that after that farewell, there would really be no more greetings from each other.
…
…
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Tingsheng played mahjong with the elders of the family for a day, earning more than 10,000 yuan.
At the end of the day, only his family lost, and the rest of the family won money and were happy, so he was also happy.
At this time last year, he still had red envelopes, and this year he has started to distribute red envelopes to children younger than him. As for the red envelopes for the elders, they are presented on the mahjong table.
The only thing that made Xu Tingsheng a little tangled up was: at the beginning of this year, his luck seemed to be not as prosperous as last year. Last year he only played a few games, but he followed him everywhere.
Reminiscing about the previous life in 2005, I lived an ordinary life, but I can't talk about luck.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Tingsheng was woken up by Xu's father early in the morning, and the father and son picked up the hoe and went down to the field to plant potatoes.
I saw the Xu family father and son who made a fortune personally planting the land, hoeing, ridges, digging, digging, and fertilizing... The people gathered on the ridge to watch the excitement were like going to a market.
For the next few days, Xu Tingsheng was taken by Xu's father to do all kinds of farm work. Several vegetable fields were opened up. The few acres of his family's land, except for those near the foot of the mountain, Xu Tingsheng refused to let go, and the rest were basically left uncultivated. .
After the last piece of land was plowed, the father and son soaked the hoe in the river to wash it, and sat on the ridge of the field.
In fact, this kind of scene happened before when he was a child, transplanting rice seedlings, threshing rice, Xu Tingsheng actually had some experience with all kinds of farm work. Occasionally, he could still recall the hot feeling when the sweat ran down the arm scratched by Inaba.
On the way home with a hoe.
Dad Xu said: "How is it? Do some farm work, the pressure is not so great, right? My heart has settled down."
It was only then that Xu Tingsheng understood Dad Xu's purpose. Thinking back, his feet were in the ground these days, his hands were calloused, his body was dripping with sweat, he was so tired every day, and then he went home to eat, gobbled it up, and went to bed early at night. I don't have the time to think about it, or even have the energy to dream, so I just keep going all night until dawn.
This year, especially the pressure and depression accumulated in the recent period, especially the inner fear brought about by Ding Sen's incident, are indeed gradually fading away.
"Dad, your realm is almost reaching Tao Yuanming's share." Xu Tingsheng said with a smile.
Xu's father rubbed Xu Tingsheng's head and said, "Your father doesn't know Tao Yuanming. He knows that the development is too fast and the changes are too great. People are inevitably drifting. If this is the case, you have to give yourself time to keep your feet on the ground. And the plow! Father and son must hold on."
Xu Tingsheng looked at his father, looked at the mountain in the distance, and said, "Dad, you have to live a long life in this life, otherwise I don't know if I will go astray or go far away. Without you, I would be really sad." No way."
Dad Xu laughed heartily and said, "Okay."
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Tao Jiaxiu gave birth to a pair of twin daughters a few days earlier than expected, and Zhong Wusheng was promoted to become a father.
Xu Tingsheng, Huang Yaming, and Fu Cheng had been arguing for a long time to become a godfather, but Xu's father made a final decision.
Ordinarily there can be more than one godfather, but Dad Xu became this godfather...Xu Tingsheng? There was only one more pair of sisters.
Huang Yaming and Fu Cheng then lost their qualifications and became honest brothers.
In Libei, with such a lineup of godfathers and godbrothers, how expensive are these two little girls? How many people do you have to envy
Zhong Wusheng had been promoted to a higher level in seniority, so proud of himself, he spent the whole day looking after his precious daughter, chasing after Xu Tingsheng and the three of them, forcing them to call him uncle.
Several people studied for two full days and named the lovely twin girls: Zhong Lin and Zhong Li.
That night, after Sister Jia and her two children slept peacefully, Zhong Wusheng sat outside the yard and cried silently.
In his whole life, he did not remember those years when he grew up, from being discharged from the army, meeting Tao Jiaxiu at an ignorant age, to being impulsively imprisoned, and having a difficult reunion. …
Where did I think that there would be such a day, such a turning point of fate and a beautiful life.
"My life belongs to the Xu family."
…
…
On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Huang Yaming left Libei early and returned to Yanzhou to continue preparations for the bar.
Fu Cheng originally planned to stay for a few more days, because he actually had nothing to do when he went, but because his family suddenly arranged an inexplicable blind date for him, with a director's daughter, he also fled early with Huang Yaming.
Xu Tingsheng naturally wanted to go with him, but Father Xu wanted him to stay until after the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the Xu family held a launching ceremony for a bursary fund at Libei Middle School.
The Xu family plans to spend 500,000 yuan each year to establish a student fund to support poor students in Libei County from primary school to university in their entire study and growth career.
Among them, Libei Middle School pays 200,000 yuan per year, and the remaining 300,000 yuan is allocated to primary and secondary schools according to the actual situation each year.
Xu Tingsheng played tricks and cheated, and finally escaped the task of speaking on stage. He was very supportive of this matter, but he didn't want to participate too much. Except for one point, he insisted that the support fund focus on children from single-parent families and consider them as much as possible.
Dad Xu didn't object, but he was a little curious as to why Xu Tingsheng had such consideration and persistence.
Xu Tingsheng had no choice but to use the example of Apple and Lu Zhixin to explain to Dad Xu that both of them started their single-parent life when they were around ten years old.
Although the final life trajectories are not the same, and the personalities they have developed are also different, but there is no doubt that both of them have been greatly affected by this life state. On a certain level, they are not so psychologically. Healthy and whole, for example, they are both deeply insecure.
Faced with this lack of security, Apple chose to look for support and shelter. It was not until the past six months that she gradually transformed.
As for Lu Zhixin, she has gone to the extreme of self-improvement, self-reliance, and self-protection. She hopes that she can control everything, including controlling others. Only in this way can she feel safe.
Dad Xu agreed.
