"Xinxin..." Just after Chen Mengxin got out of the taxi, a tearful woman called Pu to rush over and hugged her tightly.
"Mom" Chen Mengxin also hugged her mother tightly, tears gushing out like a bank burst, crying like a lost child, and finally returned home after going through many hardships.
The father beside "Xin'er" is much older than Chen Mengxin's memory, and his gray hair is many times more than when he left. Looking at his daughter who has been missing for a long time, his wrinkled face is full of joy and happiness. , But there is still a trace of guilt and embarrassment. The irresponsible behavior that year made him unable to face his daughter.
"Dad" Chen Mengxin looked at his father and shouted.
Father Chen didn’t expect that his daughter would recognize him and recognize him as an irresponsible father. "Eh!" He replied heavily. After so many years, he hasn’t heard the call anymore, and now he finally heard the warmth again. With the familiar name, Dad Chen's heart suddenly became warm.
"Let's go, let's sit in a nearby cafe and have a good conversation." Chen Mengxin personally wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes for her mother.
"Yeah." Chen Mengxin held her father's strong arm with one hand, and her mother's rough hand with the other, just like walking to a cafe not far away many years ago.
"Xin'er, Mom and Dad are sorry for you" The family sat opposite each other in the cafe, and Dad Chen said hoarsely, looking so embarrassed and full of guilt for the child.
Chen Mengxin sat in a wicker chair, drank coffee and calmed down the turbulent waves in her heart. At the beginning, the excitement of not seeing her parents for many years has slowly cooled down. Now, her incomprehension and even resentment towards her parents are all surging. come out.
"Dad and Mom, what happened to you back then? Why didn't you say a word, didn't even say hello, didn't even have a note, it just disappeared from the world, do you know how scared I was at that time? Knowing that I was about to collapse at that time, did I even have the heart to die? Do you know how much I worry about you? Do you know how I have survived these years? "Chen Mengxin has been puzzled for many years and dissatisfied in her heart. All vented out in a rush. At this moment, she was just a little girl who kept crying in front of a pair of irresponsible parents. "
Facing their daughter's questioning, Father Chen and Mother Chen were silent for a while. After a long time, Father Chen slowly spoke.
"Xin'er, back then, your mother and I were also afraid of hurting you, so we thought that after we left, those loan sharks would let it go because you were a 17-year-old child. You, but how do we know... These years, your mother and I have been working outside, desperately making money, thinking that we can pay off the usury as soon as possible, and then the family can live in peace, but, but Some time ago, your mother thought that she couldn’t stand it anymore, and she had a serious illness. So we asked the boss for leave. When we came back to see you, it also gave you peace of mind. After two days, we will go back."
When the father spoke, he kept his head down, and did not dare to meet his daughter's gaze. Those hands were already covered with gully, and they were holding them uneasy under the table.
"You, you guys..." Chen Mengxin no longer knows what to say. Looking at her young and cheerful parents in her memory, she has now become such an old look, and her brain is full of bursts. Stronger than a stormy sea, "Where do you live now?" Chen Mengxin quickly turned the topic off.
"We live in a nearby hotel." The mother who had not spoken finally spoke this time.
"The hotel is too unsafe, you just move in, I will live with a friend's house now" (end of this chapter)
