I. “Children, you have two fathers”
He would love to tell his children that
they are fortunate to have two fathers,
one with great deep love,
and one with repentance,
and come back.
September 12, 2005, a day Zhong Xun could not forget in his life. He waited outside the delivery room, anxious and joyful. The nurse came out with the swaddling clothes not long after: “It’s a Down’s baby!” He didn’t understand: “What’s a Down’s baby?” The nurse replied indifferently, “Mentally challenged.”
Thunder rolled over Zhong Xun’s head.
Not long after, his wife, Ning Yan, was wheeled in. Zhong Xun mustered up the courage to ask in a whisper, “Did you know?” Her tears leaked down in a torrent. Zhong Xun said stiffly, “Let’s not have it, right?”
At that moment, he felt that Ning Yan was also a little hesitant. But after a while the cleaned baby was brought over and the nurse let him try to suck on Ning Yan’s nipple. The moment the child sipped it with his little mouth, she suddenly looked at Zhong Xun with tears in her eyes, and her gaze was a mother’s plea. Zhong Xun looked away with a vengeance, “Don’t let him eat it, flush the formula.”
They are a couple living in a very small town. They live a very humble and struggling life. The way they deal with their problems can be mind-boggling.
Ning Yen’s milk was swollen back raw. The child’s mother, who was a member of the family, was a very strong and powerful person, afraid that the child would have too much to do with them, because she was always ready to send him away. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. She deceives herself: “It doesn’t show at all.” Or playing the sentimental card: “You name it ……” Zhong Xun was getting annoyed, he hated women’s sentimentalism.
Ning Yan has not yet been discharged from the hospital, and the whole family, including her parents and sister, have come up with a unanimous opinion – send the child away. The company’s main goal is to provide a solution to the problem. She became a little nervous, waking up every half hour to look at the child and cry. The later, she became more obstinate. Everyone was originally a bit intolerant, and seeing this situation, they all threatened to say, “We won’t talk too much, you decide for yourselves.”
Zhong Xun googled examples of Tang’s children and saw those consistent big flat faces, collapsed noses, and dull eyes, and he started arguing with Ning Yan. Ning Yan’s body was gradually recovering and she had the strength to argue: “You don’t want it, I’ll raise it myself!”
Zhong Xun had to do this, relenting for the time being. He waited for the day when Ning Yan came to her senses. The child is small now, not very different from babies of the same age, and he thought that sooner or later Ning Yan would break down.
But the truth is, the child’s situation is getting worse and worse, while Ning Yan’s motherhood is getting more and more flooded, and its rise is so rapid that it completely crushes all the unpleasant realities.
The child took Ning Yan’s surname and was named “Ning Cong”, which seemed ridiculous to Zhong Xun.
The first time I saw a woman, I was in the middle of a conversation.
One day Ning Yan called and said there was a place in Beijing that could improve the intelligence of children with Down’s syndrome. It’s nonsense. But she wanted to try it, and Zhong Xun could only agree to let her come over.
They lived in an urban village where the last thing you need is middle-aged women who look enthusiastic but are really gossipy. If you don’t want to be a laughing stock at the dinner table, you must always be vigilant. Before, Zhong Xun lived a careful life, but now he has to endure the strange gaze. And Ning Yan was oblivious to his sensitivity; she always took it upon herself to bare her wounds to the women who spent their days as green flies, without feeling inferior.
Zhong Xun felt depressed.
More importantly, it was hard to earn money. He was very reluctant to throw his hard-earned money away on a school that could not possibly give him hope.
Coworkers’ children are happily throwing their children a birthday party and buying all kinds of beautiful toys. And Zhong Xun and Ning Yan quarrel every day, if there is not a day to quarrel, he has to thank God for giving him a comfortable evening.
Ning Yan had to go back when the money ran out. Zhong Xun sent them. The child, who is already more than a year old, does not smile and rarely cries.
The first time I saw a woman, I said, “Look, I told you it would be like this!” But there was no joy of victory in his heart.
Ning Yan said, “It’s not my responsibility alone.” The first time I saw it, I was so angry that I had to listen to me, and this family would not have been destroyed by you. Ning Yan screamed, “Or we’ll get a divorce!”
Well, Zhong Xun thought he had already given too much to her and the child, and his life would not allow him to sacrifice for anyone.
The divorce went smoothly. The company’s first two years of business were spent in the United States. Then he couldn’t wait to get back to Beijing, and there was some resentment in his heart. If she had been more sensible, things would not have been as they are today.
And Ning Yan’s resentment was even deeper.
To avoid further recriminations, Zhong Xun never had any contact with her except to send support money.
In the spring of 2010, Zhong Xun found a new girlfriend and hid the story of his ex-wife and retarded son.
Life was about to start a new chapter. Although there were so many things that didn’t work out, and my conscience was hurting from something, people still have to move on, don’t they?
Zhong Xun often drank with his colleagues and cried as he drank.
One day when I was having dinner with my middle school friends, one of them suddenly said, “Did you know that Ning Yan is with Lao Jun?”
Zhong Xun was stunned.
Lao Jun was the roommate of Zhong Xun when he was a junior high school student, his best friend.
Ning Yen is a young and beautiful woman, and he and Lao Jun are pursuing her together. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. The two men were very angry about this, and the two men broke off their friendship.
At this moment, Zhong Xun wanted to call Ning Yan, but he didn’t know how to ask, and it seemed that no matter how he opened his mouth, it would be self-defeating.
After two more years, Zhong Xun broke up with his girlfriend. It’s not that there are no feelings, but feelings always have no roots.
Time seems to jump around for Zhong Xun.
The first time I saw a woman, I was a little bit of a jerk.
In 2012, Zhong Xun set up a home improvement company in partnership with a friend. The company is small, renting a private room as an office. The company’s first year of operation was the first year that the company made a little money. The first year earned a little bit of money, and Zhong Xun gave Ning Yan more money on his card.
A few days later, he received a call from Ning Yan asking about it.
“I’ve made some money and I don’t have a family …… money for you to spend, as it should be.” He mustered up the courage to say.
Ning Yan hesitated: “I’m married again …… husband you know.”
“Oh?” Zhong Xun feigned ignorance.
“It’s Old Jun.” Her voice was not loud, but full of cheerfulness. Zhong Xun tried to pretend to be shocked, but could no longer do so. After a moment of silence, he asked, “Can you take pictures with your phone?”
After a short while, Ning Cong’s photo was sent over. Zhong Xun bawled. It really looked like him. What had he done all these years?
Zhong Xun immediately wanted to go see them. Ning Yan offered to discuss it with her husband. Soon she got back a message saying that her husband agreed. She really didn’t hate him anymore, because she must be really happy.
Zhong Xun bought two sets of clothes for Cong, and found them at the address on Ning Yan’s text message. Ning Yan and Old Jun stood downstairs, Old Jun holding Cong Cong, the family waiting for him.
Trying to restrain his embarrassment, Zhong Xun greeted them. “I’ve been so busy all these years, I’ve hardly been back home.” His explanation was pale, and they didn’t squeak. Then everyone went upstairs together. Cong suddenly opened his hands to Old Jun, who naturally picked him up and went upstairs. Ning Yan chattered after him, “You don’t have legs, you don’t walk by yourself every day.” Cong Cong has no expression, lying on Lao Jun’s shoulder indifferently looking at Zhong Xun. Zhong Xun’s heart and limbs trembled together, this was his child, and he had never held him. Now, they were finally and completely no longer with him.
The ex-wife’s home was small, and Ning Yan said she had sold her previous house in order to treat her child. The current house is a rental, and the home is a bit of a mess, with toys and graffiti everywhere. “In fact, Congong is considered good compared to similar cases,” Ning Yan took Congong from Lao Jun’s arms, “call uncle.” Congong called timidly. Zhong Xun was so uncomfortable that he couldn’t speak. Ning Yan could about see that she hurriedly explained, “Don’t want the child to know so much, so …… he only has one father.”
Zhong Xun nodded his head. He was in no position to be more serious.
Then everyone had nothing to say. Old Jun went to the kitchen to cook, and Ning Yan sat next to Zhong Xun, also embarrassed. Zhong Xun had to initiate conversation, “You’ve gained weight.” She smiled shyly, “Four and a half months now.”
Only then did Zhong Xun notice that her belly was already bulging. Knowing what they were talking about, Cong came over and pressed himself against his mother’s belly, then suddenly smiled at Zhong Xun.
Zhong Xun’s heart sounded dully like a twilight bell.
He suppressed himself from calming down again.
The first time I saw a woman, I saw a man, and I saw a man. “. The company’s main goal is to provide a platform for the development of a new generation of companies that will be able to provide the best possible service to their customers.
Zhong Xun could no longer hold himself and fled.
It was raining outside. The first time I saw it, I had to go to the airport. He remembered the vows he made to Ning Yan back then. He vowed to be with her forever, to love her, to protect her, to share the storms of life with her. But he couldn’t do anything at all. After so many years, he brought Ning Yan’s hurt even he could not say. The first thing he realized was that he hadn’t been in pain all these years.
Zhong Xun began to see Cong often, accepting him openly as “uncle”.
The first time I saw him, I was very happy to see if he was really good to him.
The next year, Cong’s brother was born, a little boy with dark eyes, especially like Ning Yan. This hard-working family was filled with joy.
Zong Xun found a new girlfriend, but the past couldn’t be hidden from him after all.
When he found out that he had to pay his ex-wife a lot of money in monthly support, she left decisively.
The more people grow up, the more realistic they become, and Zhong Xun has no hard feelings about that. Gradually, his urge to find someone to marry grew weaker and weaker.
One day in 2015, Zhong Xun called Cong, who stammered and told Zhong Xun that his mom and dad were bringing him to Beijing to play. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of services to the public. The old Jun said embarrassingly, “The child wants to travel, the capital is the most memorable!” Zhong Xun immediately booked tickets for them, picked up their family of four to play in Beijing, and arranged everything for the trip.
Subordinates asked, “You’re so busy and you’re still running? What is your relationship?” Zhong Xun was speechless, and he and Lao Jun were both enemies and friends. The buddy showed him something pure, and he actually admired him from the bottom of his heart.
The days went by uneventfully, and Zhong Xun and Lao Jun got closer again.
The first time I saw the company’s brother, he wanted to open a hardware store, and Zhong Xun found connections to help him lay out the goods, free of charge.
Just when everything was quiet again in the dead of winter, Zhong Xun suddenly received a call from Ning Yan: “Something happened to Old Jun!” He was seriously injured in an elevator accident.
Zhong Xun rushed back home without stopping. On the way, Ning Yan frantically called him to report on the situation – Old Jun was in resuscitation, a critical care notice was issued, Old Jun was not going to make it ……
This was all simply too much to take in. Zhong Xun’s heart was crushed by the wheels over and over again, tearing his heart out. When we arrived at the hospital, Old Jun had fallen into a state of mortality, and the hospital allowed the family to go in.
Everyone knew that it was time to say goodbye for the last time. It was so abrupt, how could this be the end? Everyone burst into tears, but with the profound understanding that there would be no more miracles, they fishtailed in with grief. Old Jun looked at Zhong Xun and his lips moved, and everyone immediately pushed him to the front.
He still had something to say, but there was no more strength left.
Zhong Xun was in tears. The desire to speak became even stronger, and Lao Jun looked at Zhong Xun anxiously, as if waiting for him to say something.
All at once, Zhong Xun understood.
He pounced on him and said, “I will take care of her, of your children and our children, and I have never been able to repay the gratitude I have shown you all these years …… Don’t worry.” Their eyes conveyed a certain sadness to each other, with gratitude, trust, understanding, repayment and entrustment, with the thickness and bleakness of love. Zhong Xun saw his heart, there is a pure place to store their love that never fell on the dust. Wanting him to be able to be as firm as he was, to be able to afford to love someone.
Outside the window was a quiet winter day, with heavy snow covering the buildings like a quilt. Large snowflakes came rushing in, pounding on the glass windows and morphing into a white pulp.
All those present broke down in tears.
After Old Jun died, Zhong Xun helped Ning Yan with the aftermath. She told him that, in fact, Old Jun had long known that he couldn’t let her go.
The first time I saw a pair of slippers with “husband” and “wife” written on them, only a man could read a man’s eyes.
Lao Jun told Ning Yan that Zhong Xun was not a bad person, he was just weak.
He wanted Ning Yan to forgive Zhong Xun, because the most powerful thing in the world is not revenge, but choosing to forgive when we have the ability to retaliate.
At this moment, ten years have passed since they gave birth to Cong, and their hearts have been tested like never before in those ten years.
He finally woke up.
This scum of the public mind is no longer a despicable villain.
Jong training was in tears. He held his older son in one arm and his younger son in the other, burying his face between them. He was not very cultured, but he was eager to tell his children that they were fortunate to have two fathers, one who returned with great deep love, and one who returned with repentance.
II. “Every couple is a friend in life and death”
In the last decade or so before he died, Grandpa had two strokes, his legs and feet were not convenient anymore, and his mind began to muddle.
Grandmother took care of everything in his life.
The first time I saw the film, I was able to get to the bathroom with my grandmother.
They were not able to hold the chopsticks, so she fed them to him.
When he said something wrong and offended someone, his grandmother apologized after him.
Granddad has diabetes, and his diet should be light. In this way, Grandma, who was not sick, avoided eating for more than ten years.
It is said that people become children in their old age.
When it came to the New Year’s Eve, he took the initiative to ask his descendants for red envelopes and opened them in front of everyone, and he was not happy if anyone gave less.
When he got the money, he paced happily back to his room and gave it all to his grandmother.
“If I leave, you’ll be living on this money.”
He was afraid that his grandmother would be aggrieved if he left, so he tried desperately to save money for her.
He said, “When I’m gone, I’ll be cremated!”
This is unimaginable in the countryside, where “burial in the ground” is the norm.
The local government promotes cremation, but all cremations receive a significant subsidy, and Grandpa wanted to save a little more money for Grandma’s retirement.
Then Grandpa’s illness got worse and he couldn’t walk or talk anymore.
The first time I saw the film, I was in the hospital.
When Grandpa wanted to see his grandmother, everyone advised him, “Your blood pressure is unstable, you can’t take the long bus ride.”
He just didn’t listen, sitting in his wheelchair, anxious, unable to speak, gesturing with both hands, his face red.
We had no choice but to take him there, and he couldn’t say anything, so he just stared at his grandmother with two eyes, as if he wanted to remember that face for the rest of his life.
If you’ve seen that look, you know what it is to live and die. For elderly couples, every gaze can be an eternal goodbye.
During that time, Grandma was on an IV while worrying that Grandpa wasn’t eating or sleeping well.
The first time I saw him, he was at home, not talking, sitting with his eyes, afraid that his grandmother’s leg would not get better.
Later, Grandma got better, but Grandpa passed away.
The first time I saw the film, it was a very good idea.
Till now, many years after the death of my grandfather, my grandmother still lives in that house, and her children asked her to go out, but she didn’t want to.
You can be a young couple, you can argue, you can be separated, you can go your own way, but in old age, life dries up so much that you only have each other to rely on.
A friend told me that her parents had loved each other all their lives. Her mother, in her forties, was still spoiled by her father like a teenage girl who neither knew how to pay the gas, water and electricity bills nor how to do laundry and cook. Until one day, her dad suddenly slipped in the bathroom shower.
The friend said she still doesn’t know how her mother, who has never done heavy work in her life and weighs no more than 90 pounds, carried her father out of the bathroom.
After that incident, my mother was a different person. She started to pay her own property bills, learn to buy food and cook, and even plucked a stack of medical health books to learn first aid in earnest.
And my father, who had never allowed her to work hard, no longer interfered with her doing this, and both of them tacitly agreed to a different way of life.
My friend said here with red eyes, “Actually, my dad was worried about what would happen to my mom if he left first.”
“What will you do if I go first?” is a question that every white-headed couple will eventually face.
When I was young, I read Sanso’s “Dreams of Flowers”, and there was a part in it where Sanso was in poor health and forced Jose to promise to marry again if he died.
Hosie said, “If you die, I’ll burn my home down and get on a boat and float to my old age.” But Mitsuru said, “It’s okay to set fire to it, as long as you marry again.”
Later, Jose died, leaving Mitsuru alone in the world.
But she said, “Thank God, I am the one who is alive and hurting today, and I would never have asked Jose to endure this minute after minute of long nights. Fortunately, it was not his turn, if he had lived like me, then I would have fought for my life with God to return for him.”
After the wutong was half dead and clear of frost, the white mandarin ducks lost their companionship. There is nothing more poignant than this.
Now that I am married, I gradually understand what Sanso said.
One night, I advised Lao Liang to quit smoking, and I said, “Smoking is not good for your health.”
He said with no heart and no soul, “If you die smoking, forget it!”
I don’t know what kind of madness I was in, but I burst into tears: “No, I won’t let you talk nonsense! I won’t let you talk nonsense!”
Every white couple is a life-and-death relationship.
You have to admit, when you get older, you don’t have friends. You have a hard time in your city, and your friend, who is also gray-haired, is no longer likely, to come from another city, even from the other end of a city, to help you.
And children, children are far away, they have their own families, they have their own jobs, they are even overseas.
They are not easy to live with, they want to ask for something, and before the words reach their mouths, forget it, forget it, don’t give them any trouble.
Those who have not experienced old age cannot understand the importance of companionship.
In the TV series “I Might Not Love You,” Li Daren’s mother lost her husband at an early age, and Uncle Bai chased her for decades, but she always refused to say yes, and was finally moved by the words of Uncle Bai, who promised that he would not leave earlier than she did.
You mustn’t leave earlier than me, leaving me alone to endure the long nights, to endure the cold and loneliness.
Once I was bored and asked Lao Liang, “If I have a terminal illness, will you cure me?”
He said, “Yes, even if I lose my family’s money.”
I asked again, “What if you have a terminal illness?”
He said, “Forget it, let’s not cure it, let’s save some money for you orphans and widows to live.”
What is marriage?
It is hard for people who have not stepped into marriage to truly understand this inextricable connection without blood relatives. Parents are joint parents, children are joint children, and property is joint property.
We raise our children together, send our parents away together, and then accept together the aging and parting that will eventually come.
Sacred, and solemn.
For every marriage that comes to an end is a life-to-life commitment.
You are the one I have entrusted my life to, so please be sure to cherish it, this life as husband and wife.
III. “The most expensive car I’ve ever ridden in this life is my father’s shoulder”
The first time I saw my father cry, he was 43 years old.
In the college entrance exam, because I refused to copy for an outside student in the same exam room, after the exam was over, he gathered a gang of hooligans and beat me up in front of the school. In just a few minutes, blood had stained my white T-shirt.
Taken to the hospital by the test center staff, my father showed up at the hospital bedside in just an hour.
At that time, there were only two daily shuttles from my remote home to the county seat in the early hours of the morning, and no other direct vehicles.
I heard later that my father had hired a motorcycle at a higher price, and he and the driver ran as hard as they could to get to the ward before evening.
Before my father could speak, big tears fell down. He stood in front of the bed and turned my body over, examining it over and over.
Before the exam, I was complaining about why my father couldn’t come and accompany me. Suddenly, I was sweet enough to explode.
The summer after college, the pressure was like a pressure cooker, ready to cook me.
I hated my major, and I hated a job where I had to deal with all kinds of people.
I wanted to go to graduate school and find a job in a different field.
I called my father, who was silent for a few seconds and didn’t say anything, except that he promised to send me 500 yuan a month for living expenses.
This year, my father’s monthly salary was 1,300 yuan.
For seven whole months, my father’s $500 showed up in my bank card on time by the 15th of each month.
Only once, it was delayed by two days. Much later, my mother told me that that month, my father was very sick, but still struggled to go and give me the money.
The next year, I went to graduate school in journalism, and with my own money, I was able to cover all kinds of expenses, but that green bank card, I have collected until today.
Four years ago, in another city, I had a job and a relationship of my own.
I wanted to be stable and ready to go buy a house.
In 2013, housing prices weren’t as crazy as they are today, and the down payment wasn’t stressful for me to talk about.
The day after I swiped my card at the sales office, my parents suddenly came to Changsha and handed me a black plastic bag with 50,000 yuan inside.
My father was a little embarrassed, afraid you wouldn’t have enough money to buy a house, so he brought you some.
I think it’s a good idea to have a good idea of what you’re looking for.
That year, the family’s economy had improved greatly, and my father’s salary had risen to more than 5,000 a month.
The first time I saw the company, I was able to get to the top of the list.
No matter how much I refused, my father still left me the 50,000 yuan.
That was the first time in years of living with my parents that I saw them give out so much money.
To this day, I still remember how it felt to receive that bag of money, it was so heavy.
My father is now 58 years old, living as an old man, and my child is 10 months old.
There are many topics that we can talk about in peace.
Not long ago, I was watching the fourth season of “The Odd Couple” with my father. One debate question was whether we should put our parents in a nursing home.
Almost all the debaters objected, saying it was unfilial and abandoning their parents. But the father said, “If it were me, I would be willing to live in a nursing home.
I asked why, and he said, “I would be happier that way. I can’t keep up with you young people, and you don’t understand my life.
I think it’s a good idea to have a home for the elderly, where I can play chess, cards, and bragging rights with them.
My father said it without a care in the world, so yearning. But I know that he actually didn’t want to bother and drag me down. It’s like when I call when I’m sick, he always says it’s okay, just like he always says he has enough money.
My father has used up a flood of energy in his life to love us.
This year, at a car show, I happened to be drawn as a lucky audience member.
The host asked me what was the most expensive car I had ever ridden in.
I didn’t even think about it, so I answered, “The most expensive car I’ve ever been in in my life was my dad’s shoulder.
Everyone wants their father to be a big boss in the age of dad, but most of the time, our father is just an ordinary guy with a hard life on his back, but that’s good enough.
Because even though they don’t have millions of dollars, they are always trying their best to “raise us rich”;
Because even though we don’t have many properties, we have a home, a warm and steaming home;
Because even though we don’t have a Porsche, sitting on our dad’s shoulder is always the most reassuring moment.
It’s always after walking over hills and rivers that we realize that my dad is just an ordinary guy, but they’ve been taking charge, bearing up, and embracing. What we need to do is to make personal growth and commitment faster than the speed of our parents’ aging.
Just like that, just right, just very happy
