Chapter 60
Back on the way who do not speak, the car air conditioning and heating has been turned on to the maximum, but the air is so cold that it is almost frozen out of the ice.
And then back to the compound downstairs, Xu Cheng Snapdragon has completely no mood to deliver the New Year’s Eve, he got off in silence to open the door for her, just around the front of the car, Situ Ming has come out of the building, nodded to him, and went over to personally pull open the door of Situ Xu Xu’s side of the car, and probed with concern to ask: “Mao Mao?”
Situ Xu Xu got off the car face is okay, just look a little tired, Situ Ming rubbed his daughter’s face, said softly: “You go up first, I and Cheng Snapdragon say a few words will come.”
Situ Xu Xu nodded, obediently went. Xu Cheng Snapdragon watched her go up the stairs, her footsteps were slow but so firm, step by step, farther and farther away from him, and her head did not return once.
The weather is so cold, his heart is colder than this day.
Situ Ming walked in front of him, patted his shoulder, and sighed without saying anything.
Xu Chengchu unexpectedly had a sour nose.
“Dad ……”
“I know, you’ve been wronged as well.” Situ Ming’s tone had some apologetic undertone, apologetic but firm: “But I still blame you, because when the two of you had to be together, I told you: we had no other expectations for Situ Xu Xu, we just wanted her to be happy. No matter what happened, you didn’t do it, Xu Chengchu, you broke your word to me.”
The day Xu Cheng Snapdragon married Situ Xu Xu, Situ Ming had choked up and said to Xu Cheng Snapdragon with a sense of pleading and hope: his daughter’s temper is not good, you have to take care of it and treat her better.
At that time, Xu Cheng Snapdragon was so sure that he stood up his chest and promised him: from today onwards, I will take care of her for you for the rest of your life!
There are so many years in a lifetime, you really shouldn’t make promises so easily.
Xu Cheng Snap pursed his lips and lowered his head, dumbfounded.
“The two of you have gotten to this point, I know that Situ Xu Xu must not have tossed you around much, but she is my daughter, so even if I know that you have been wronged, I still blame you. The feelings of this question of right and wrong, my judgment criterion is my wife’s daughter’s peace and happiness, and contrary to it are wrong. You may think that my words are radical, but this is indeed how I think.”
Xu Chengchu raised his head violently, “Dad, what do you mean by that?!”
“I mean whatever Situ Xu Xu means.” After a pause, Situ Ming said in a low voice, “Alright, you go back. Be careful at work and take care of yourself.”
Xu Chengchu understood that his old husband would no longer help him to turn things around, his heart was in a flustered mess, and he took a step forward to catch up and called, “Dad!”
Situ Ming feet stopped, but finally did not turn around, only back to the vertical hand waved to him, straight up the stairs.
Cold winter months, but the house is as warm as spring, Xu Za in the kitchen to make dinner, the aroma of home-cooked food smells warm and gentle in the heart. Daughter in the sofa nest reading books and other meals, although compared to the previous time a lot of calm, but at least now she is in a calm mood, eat and sleep, the belly of the little guy is also safe and sound day by day.
Such a cozy atmosphere made the trace of intolerance in Situ Ming’s heart fade a bit.
He gently closed the door, Situ Xu Xu heard the sound and turned her head to look, Situ Ming quickly raised his smile and asked, “What did your mom cook, so fragrant?”
Situ Xu Xu pointed to Chen Yi Feng who was playing chess with Xiao Dong, “He brought a big bag of sea cucumber to say that eating more sea cucumber in the future the child’s skin will be good, Comrade Xu Za farted to believe it, and is simmering chicken soup sea cucumber.”
Chen Yi Feng smiled and looked up and said, “I don’t dare to fool Comrade Xu Za,” he pinched his youngest daughter’s powdery face, “I don’t believe you see how good our Xiao Dong’s skin is.”
Situ Ming changed his shoes, came over and patted Xiao Dong who won a sub jubilantly, “Quickly eat, ask your teacher Situ to take you to wash your hands.”
Xiao Dong followed Situ Xu Xu went to the bathroom to wash his hands, Situ Ming sat on her seat, asked the opposite side of Chen Yi Feng: “How are things done?”
“I’ve already explained the hospital side, there’s no problem. But I’m afraid I won’t be able to pocket it once Xu Ping Shan comes back. I have an idea: how about we send Mao Mao to C City?”
Situ Ming pondered for a moment, “You mean send it to Ting Ting?”
“En, C city has the Zhang family and the Rong family, the Xu family has always been a detour, Qin Song is the Zhang family’s grandson, and he is also very close to that Rong family’s Rong second youngest, if you want to find a place to let MaoMao wait for her delivery in peace and quiet, C city is very suitable. Besides, Tingting and MaoMao grew up together and are so close, they will definitely take good care of her.”
“I’ve been friends with Old Han for so many years, and I can trust that child Tingting.” Situ Ming paused here and fell silent.
Chen Yi Feng was a smart person, and guessed as soon as he thought about it, “Are you worried about the Xu family’s old lady side?”
Situ Ming was said to be in his mind, hooked the corner of his mouth and smiled somewhat bitterly, “When the old head knows, he will definitely not easily bypass me this time.”
“Actually, I didn’t expect you to indulge Mao Mao like this.” Chen Yi Feng silently, point blank persuaded.
Situ Ming raised his head to look at him, although it was no longer the awe-inspiring courage of the year, but Chen Yi Feng who had seen him back then was still shaken – yes, this is Situ Ming ah! is the only person he Chen Yi Feng youthful age had worshipped! Even if he chose to live an uneventful life, wouldn’t it be natural for a man like this to condone what his only daughter had become?
Chen Yi Feng lowered his head to study the chess game, and after a while, he heard Situ Ming’s voice say in a low voice: “It’s not that I haven’t tried to persuade her to make peace, but I can only indulge her when it comes down to it. She is counting on two men in her life, one has already hurt her so much that she can’t survive, if I go against her wishes again, will she still be allowed to live? What the long term, what bullshit big picture, can’t see the future who knows what kind of, now I can’t protect her all right, what about the future? Now that she is pregnant, as long as she is safe and sound, I can do anything for her.”
We’ll talk about the future later, toss it while you’re young! Life is but from birth to death, not to make not toss how can be fulfilled through this long life, anyway, he as long as his daughter is happy.
Chen Yifeng himself also has a baby daughter, put yourself in his shoes, he can understand Situ Ming.
“Then send her there after this year. Qin Song still owes me a favor, so consider this as my meet and greet gift for the baby in Maomao’s belly, Maomao will definitely enjoy it.” Thinking of Qin Song jumping to his feet and daring to say anything, Chen Yi Feng hooked the corners of his mouth, and actually had a few moments of anticipation.
Xu Chengchu went back to Beijing without staying in G City for the New Year. Last year’s sweet time is like a lifetime ago so far away, this second new year after the newlyweds, husband and wife, a twenty-four-hour mission, a pregnant with children can not leave the house, who also do not call anyone, but in the old lady and Xu Pingshan phone call New Year’s Eve in the tacit understanding, very good perfunctory past.
Two days before Jingze and Fu Donghai departed for the International Special Forces Joint Training Camp, Xu Chengchu returned to Beijing on a mission. The entire dormitory was sleeping soundly, but he was too tired to sleep and ran out to retrieve his cell phone.
He wanted to see if she had called after so many days.
Or a text message would be good.
As soon as he turned on the phone but there was only a missed call from home, he called over, Xu mother’s voice couldn’t control the tremor: “Cheng prima …… you came back from a mission?”
“En, I just came back,” he walked a few steps further away from the dormitory, “Mom why do you sound like this? Something wrong? Is it my dad or …… Situ?”
“Xu Xu, she ……,” Xu mother’s voice was muffled when she said the name, shaking her voice to comfort her son, “Chengchu, don’t get excited, be mentally prepared, you’re still young… …”
“Mom! What the hell is wrong with her? You quickly say it!” Xu Cheng Snap was so anxious that his back was instantly all wet, his heart was about to jump out of his throat!
“…… She’s pregnant.”
Ah …… Snap Master slapped so hard that the entire railing buzzed, but none of this could express his joy, almost jumping out of the fourth floor balcony!
The baby? The baby! She was carrying his child! They were going to have a child!
“Mom! I’ll be right back! Where is she?!” He asked loudly with great joy.
On the other end of the phone, there was silence, and suddenly his mother cried out, “She aborted the child …… Cheng Snapdragon, Xu Xu insisted on a divorce!”
Xu Chengchu …… Xu Chengchu all his life clearly remember the feeling of that moment: like being sunk into the water, unable to breathe, eardrums rumbling.
The sky was spinning, and the image in front of him was distorted like a picture. He saw many faces of Situ Xu Xu, bright and colorful smile, mournful and tearful …… resistance training of those injected drugs did not make him appear such an irrepressible hallucinatory picture.
How he wished that everything was an illusion.
Even if he never met her, just live as before, even if numb, never know the taste of deep love, will never taste the present this terrible taste of all thoughts.
It’s really horrible, Seo Seung Snap practically felt. Situ Xu Xu in the end to teach him how many kinds of complex emotions? Passionate love, bone-deep drunkenness, deep-rooted longing, heartache that hurts to breathe, groundless inferiority complex, and this all-consuming disillusionment that makes you want to die right away.
He numb his head and called out “mom”, his voice was so calm that he was surprised to hear himself, “I agree to divorce, you help me with her formalities, the sooner the better.”
The hand can not hold the phone, fingers a loose fall to the ground, and from the staircase steps bounced and rolled down. He crouched down slowly with his hands on his head, dizzy, the whole floor shaking as he buried his head, one hand gripping the iron railing of the stair railing.
His mouth seemed to have bitten a large mouthful of iron railing as if he had bitten a large mouthful of iron railing, and a strong rusty flavor filled his entire mouth.
Xu Cheng Snapdragon was in pain, stronger than the pain was the incomprehension: even if she didn’t love him, the child was always her flesh and blood, in order to leave him, such a heavy price was worth it?
Her contempt for him has actually reached the point where she is not willing to have a child with his genes at all.
It really hurts ah …… Xu Cheng Snapdragon desperate and panicked to think what he should do? Never had this kind of pain drilled in from the bones, he even got up the most serious injuries have never thought of the idea: this time will not be able to live ah?
Fang Yicheng went to Jingze and Fu Donghai’s dormitory to explain some matters, passed by just in time to see Xu Chengchu squatting there, but also shivering, he felt strange, walked over and asked: “hey!
The young lieutenant colonel who squatted on the stairway with his back to him holding the stairway railing slowly stood up, slowly stood up straight, turned around and opened his mouth as if his voice contained a large mouthful of sand, coarse and dark: “Report! There is …… nothing going on!”
Fang Yicheng felt that his body seemed to be abnormally stiff, walked to his side and patted him, “At ease!”
“Xu Chengchu, I heard that you’ve gotten successive merits, the mission came out beautifully, the praise calls from the higher-ups have annoyed the regiment’s leaders?” Fang Yicheng said in a joking tone, “I’m really getting tired of not digging you out!”
It was late, Xu Cheng Snap stood in the shadow of the light blocked out by the stairs on the upper floor, the expression on his face could not be seen too clearly, but his pair of eyes were lit up with a cold star-like radiance, he spoke slowly, popping out word by word, “You said that the invitation to me is valid for three years.”
“Yes!” Fang Yicheng smiled, “I have already invited you once, this is the second time, it’s not for three years, Comrade Major!”
The corners of Xu Chengchu’s eyes in the darkness jumped viciously, he lowered his head, the knots of his throat rolled up and down laboriously several times, and said in a low but powerful voice, “I am honored to be able to agree to your invitation!”
