The situation now is that everyone in our neighborhood knows that Lengshan got a good score in the college entrance examination. My mother is such a big mouth that she would like to pull everyone over and say, "Hey! Do you know my son? His name is Lengshan, and he is taking the college entrance examination this year! Well, he did quite well and was able to get into a key university!"
This made me feel scared every time I went out, for fear that the middle-aged woman would come up to me and say, "Oh, this guy is really good! He got into a good university and found a good partner!"
Zhang Nuan and I have completed our first major life event, and now we are both working on our second and third major events. It is time to let go of the worry in my heart. It is not for anything else, I just want to know who my biological parents are, and I don’t need to recognize them, because I have a father and a mother!
I had been struggling with how to tell my mom about going to Yunnan, but I never expected that she would tell me first. I also called my relatives in Yunnan.
"Xiaoshan, Mom has told you a long time ago that I would tell you about your biological parents after you finish the college entrance examination. I'm very happy that you did so well in the college entrance examination! All these years, I have not raised you in vain!" My mother's eyes turned red as she spoke, and my father who was sitting next to her was surprisingly dull.
"Your father and I have discussed this. We originally wanted to keep this a secret from you our entire life, but now that you already know it and you've grown up, you have the right to weigh some things for yourself. We have already contacted your biological parents, and you can go to Yunnan to find them during this summer vacation." My mother became more and more sad as she spoke, although she was trying her best to hide her sadness.
"If you want to stay with them, I..." My mother continued. I already knew what she wanted to say, but I would not do that. Those two people only provided seeds and land respectively. No matter what the reason was for them to decide to send me away, I will only recognize my Leng family parents in my life.
"Mom, this is my home. How could a son go out and not come home!" I interrupted my mother. Although I couldn't fully understand my parents' feelings, I could also feel how sad they felt when they said that, because I felt extremely sad when I heard it.
"Yes, yes, yes! You little brat, don't go out there and fool around!" My dad said, showing his father's sternness, but also showing his great joy. My mom also said, "Well, go home! Go early and come back early."
My mother talked to me about the itinerary and other details, such as when to leave, how much money to pay, and when to return home. Finally, she gave me a phone number, which she said was the contact information of my biological father Liang Shangjin. My mother asked me to call him in advance.
I thought about it for a long time but didn't have the courage to take out my phone and dial that unfamiliar number. Finally, the night before I was leaving, my phone rang. It was that number. Although I had never called it before, I knew it by heart.
"Hello." I responded because I didn't know what to say. The person on the phone was now a relative who was even more unfamiliar than a stranger.
"Xiaoshan, I, I'm Liang Shangjin." He directly said his name as an introduction to himself. In fact, I knew that he was embarrassed to say what his relationship with me was.
"Yeah, I know." It was an awkward conversation, and I found that I, who was usually a talkative person, became particularly silent today.
"I heard from your mother that you were coming to Yunnan. We have made all the arrangements for you. Be careful on your journey. Call me when you get off the plane and I will pick you up and take you home." No matter what, his tone was full of concern.
"No, that's not necessary. I've already booked a hotel. I'm going there with my friend and we'll travel at the same time." How could any of my friends go with me? If Liang Chao hadn't been there and Zhang Nuan hadn't gotten into trouble, I might have happily brought Zhang Nuan with me, but how could I possibly let Zhang Nuan see that scumbag again? !
I won't stay at your house! Otherwise, I might die young without knowing how I did it! I don't dare to take the risk of not having a wife or a son! Besides, I've already told my mom about my idea of staying at a hotel. Liang Shangjin should know about it too, right? !
"I know, you can come to our house with your friends, and then ask your brother, Chaochao, to take you out to play..." Liang Shangjin still didn't give up and wanted me to go to their house.
"No, I'm not used to living in someone else's house." After saying this, I felt a little regretful in my heart, and my tone became a little heavy.
When Liang Shangjin heard what I said, he was obviously not very comfortable. He sighed and then said to me: "Okay, okay! As long as you like it! Well, we will wait for you here." He asked some specific questions about what time I would arrive, and I told him the truth.
In fact, I was not quite ready to meet them. The reason I told him my schedule in detail was because I was afraid that my parents would worry. Because I knew they would definitely contact each other privately, and it would be useless whether I said anything or not.
I was preparing to head to Yunnan, and my parents sent me to the airport early the next morning. Zhang Nuan wanted to see me off, but I thought that on the one hand, I got up too early this morning and didn’t want to bother her, and on the other hand, I felt that this was also a farewell.
Before boarding the plane, I still called Zhang Nuan. "Wife, I'm leaving soon, but I'll be back in a few days, don't miss me too much! Just call me once or twice a day!" I said to Zhang Nuan pretending to be relaxed.
"Tsk, who would miss you?! You're so conceited! I won't call you! If I had the time in America, I might as well go shopping with Ai Yi! Or chat with Wu Xuyang and Wang Mengying!" Zhang Nuan seemed to be still asleep.
Damn, she's looking for Ai Yi again! Ai Yi is my nightmare now, because no matter when, as long as there is something, Zhang Nuan will 'look for Ai Yi'! No, what did she say just now? Looking for Wu Xuyang and Wang Mengying? What's going on? !
"Who did you just say you were looking for? That pretty boy and that annoying guy?! When have you been in contact with them?! No!!!! When I'm not at home, you should just stay at home quietly, go online and check out Taobao when you have nothing to do. You are not allowed to go out, and you are not allowed to go out with boys!" I said to Zhang Nuan in a domineering manner. A man's dominance is not only about his future career, but also about his dominance over his woman!
“You have no say!!! Anyway, you, you should be careful. Go early and come back early... You, you should not have any contact with Liang Chao..." When Zhang Nuan mentioned Liang Chao, I could sense some fear in her tone. Some things are hard to erase once they leave a trace in our hearts.
Not everything can be smoothed or erased by time, and I just hope that Zhang Nuan can slowly replace those bad memories with happiness in the days to come.
"Well, I will miss you, wait for me at home!" I said some sweet words to Zhang Nuan, and then hung up the phone reluctantly. My trip this time was only a week, excluding the flight, so I would only stay for five days. But now it seems that these five days are a bit too long.
I said goodbye to my parents and boarded the plane. All along the way, I was struggling with what I should do after meeting them. I felt uneasy. Some people are better off not meeting, which is probably how I feel now. But if I really don't meet them, I don't think I will be at peace for the rest of my life.
After six hours, the plane finally landed at Changshui Airport in Kunming, Yunnan. This is a strange city. Many people like to travel to Yunnan, but I don’t think it’s good at all! Maybe it’s because I have a resistance to this city and the people here.
As soon as I got off the plane, I saw Liang Chao, who looked like me. This was the first time we met face to face! But as soon as I saw him, I knew we were not the same kind of people. It also had something to do with the environment we grew up in, and our personalities were destined to be completely different.
The man and woman standing next to him must be my so-called parents! I walked over hesitantly.
