Kunming, who will you forget tonight

Chapter 271 Return to the Dust
On the way from the hospital to the airport, I have been tactfully persuading Zhuo Lan to forgive her father. Although what I said was already very tactful, Zhuo Lan could still hear it. In the end, she simply stopped discussing this topic with me and got on the plane Zhuo Lan took the lead and said, "Qiu Han, do you know? I received a letter from Ji Qiu the day before yesterday, and he pretended to be you."

"Ji Qiu wrote a letter?" I was a little surprised, and asked, "What letter did she write to you?"

"Well——" Zhuo Lan leaned on the back of the chair and said, "She asked a girl to send it to me. The signature was 'Guardian'. She probably wanted to write that letter to me in your tone."

I... I don't know what to say, I really wrote that letter, I didn't expect Zhuo Lan to mistake it for Ji Qiu, in other words, Zhuo Lan thought that the letter was Ji Qiu's sowing discord, this... ...If she knows that the letter was written by me!What will she think of me?I was a little scared, fortunately I didn't rush to Zhuo Lan so recklessly to tell her these things, and I was also secretly glad that I had a small quarrel with Zhuo Lan that day.

I quietly listened to Zhuo Lan's narration of the contents of the letter. In fact, I almost knew everything by heart. After listening to Zhuo Lan's narration, I asked, "What do you think?"

Zhuo Lan analyzed: "Ji Qiu is a very scheming woman. I don't know how she would have expected that I would receive a call before I got on the plane. At that time, the people around me would definitely stand up and help me solve the problem. At that time, I almost believed it was true, thinking that the person who stood up had bad intentions. I clearly remember that the first person to speak up was Uncle Luo Guofu, who also received a call. Uncle Luo Guofu always wanted to use Yinglan to make more money. He was not satisfied with the status quo. Later, Brother Feiyu said to help me, so I was relieved. Ji Qiu just wanted to sow discord and destroy our internal relationship with Yinglan. She hated Brother Feiyu in her heart. It must be like this, Ji Qiu this Women are horrible."

I listened silently, some words are really hard to say, Xu Feiyu's good impression in Zhuo Lan's heart cannot be erased!Now, I even want to give up exposing Xu Feiyu's ugly face, and even think Xu Feiyu is a good person, but I can't forgive him, forgive him and Ji Qiu for everything he and Ji Qiu have done to Xiyan's family.I can't believe he wasn't involved in the whole thing, absolutely not!

It took three and a half hours to fly from Shanghai to Chengdu, and it was almost 02:30 in the afternoon when I arrived in Chengdu. I took a taxi from the airport to a residential area in the urban area. The moment we met, it was very peaceful.

Zhuo Lan and I stood outside the door and rang the doorbell, and the one who opened the door was Zhuo Lan's...could he be called stepfather?Let's just call it that for the time being. An old man in his 60s, seeing Zhuo Lan's enthusiasm, said, "Lan Lan? Please come in! Please come in."

Zhuo Lan was still very polite to this man, and said, "Hello, Uncle Deng, is my mother there?"

"I'm here!" The old man turned around and shouted, "My wife, come out quickly, Lan Lan is here."

Hearing Lan Lan's name, I walked out of a woman. Although she is over 50 years old, her appearance is almost exactly the same as Zhuo Lan... It should be said that Zhuo Lan and her look exactly the same, as if they were carved in the same mold. When she came out, she saw that Zhuo Lan was a little excited, walked to the door and took Zhuo Lan's hand and asked happily: "Lanlan, why are you here? This is?"

"Mom—" Zhuo Lan was not in a hurry to introduce who I was, but stepped forward and put her arms around her neck, laying on her shoulders and crying.

I introduced myself: "Auntie, hello, I'm Lan Lan's boyfriend, and my name is Qiu Han."

"Oh." Zhuo Lan's mother looked me up and down, stroked Zhuo Lan's back and asked, "What's wrong with Lan Lan? Stop standing at the door, come in and sit down."

Zhuo Lan raised her head and wiped her tears and said, "Mom...I blamed you...I always thought...you abandoned me and my father because of an affair...I didn't expect it was because my father made a mistake first..."

"Who told you?" Zhuo Lan's mother looked at Zhuo Lan in surprise, "Who told you these words? Your father?"

"It's Dad!" Zhuo Lan said with red glasses, "Dad's stomach cancer is terminal... the doctor said... it's a miracle to live for the New Year... Dad and said, he's sorry for you... I want to see you again, I hope you can forgive me he……"

Tears welled up in Zhuo Lan's mother's eyes instantly, and she couldn't wait to ask: "What did your father tell you?"

Zhuo Lan choked up and said: "Dad said...it was because he was 'out of bounds' with Aunt Xu Li...you found out...you left the house in a fit of anger...you couldn't tolerate his cheating...to take care of him His image, you didn’t tell me the real reason when you left...it was to protect his image as a father...Mom...I blamed you...I always thought it was you...you abandoned us... "

The "stepfather" standing on the side came over and said to Zhuo Lan's mother: "Go! Go and see him. These years...he has also had a hard life. Back then...I shouldn't...hey!"

Zhuo Lan's mother reached out to wipe the tears on Zhuo Lan's face, and said, "Go, take me to see your father, where is he?"

"In Shanghai." Zhuo Lan said to me: "Qiu Han, book a ticket quickly, we will go back now."

Fortunately, there are more than a dozen flights a day from Shanghai to Chengdu and from Chengdu to Shanghai, which is quite convenient. "Stepfather" sent us to the airport and told us and Zhuo Lan to take good care of her mother on the plane. Her mother has high blood pressure or something.From some soft words, it is not difficult to detect that this man is very kind to Zhuo Lan's mother.

On the flight from Chengdu to Shanghai, Zhuo Lan and I were like a docile kitten, relying on her mother, even though we haven’t seen each other or even contacted for so many years, we couldn’t break the family relationship, and Zhuo Lan and I didn’t talk much along the way. , looking forward to returning to Shanghai as soon as possible and seeing Zhuo Lan's father as soon as possible.

Life is a long or short journey!
Seeing the blue sky outside through the window, recalling the words Zhuo Lan's father said, this is a secret that has been buried for half a lifetime. At this time, I chose to confide in it. Why do I have to confide in it at this time after hiding it for half my life?Perhaps, he thinks that he owes Zhuo Lan a complete family. Thinking that he is about to pass away, he told the secrets of the year, and he would rather risk being hated and leave than let Zhuo Lan stop hating her mother... This This kind of fatherly love is great.

Not only did I think of my father, who was addicted to gambling and finally realized the epiphany, but found that I had no way to turn back, and my mother did not remember him. Love is a kind of selfless tolerance.

The plane landed smoothly at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. As soon as Zhuo Lan turned on her phone, she received more than a dozen missed call notifications, almost all of which were from Xu Li. I returned a call and asked, "Aunt Xu, how is my father? You give him the phone, and I will tell him that my mother is here, and my mother is here to see him."

On the other side of the phone, Xu Li sobbed softly and said, "Your father can't see her anymore..."

The mobile phone in Zhuo Lan's hand fell to the ground, and she fell into a trance. I didn't have time to pick up the mobile phone on the ground. I was really afraid that Zhuo Lan would fall down suddenly, so I stood beside her and hugged her tightly. , it was Zhuo Lan's mother who bent down and picked up the phone, and then said, "Xu Li? It's me."

"..."

"Yes, I'm back, we've arrived at the airport in Shanghai now."

"..."

"I see...we'll be right over."

Inside the hospital ward.

Zhuo Lan's father fell asleep forever. After all, he didn't wait for that forgiveness, and left with regrets, some regrets!is irreparable.Zhuo Lan’s father left when we returned to Shanghai from Chengdu. In fact, the moment Zhuo Lan and I left for Chengdu from Shanghai, the old man had already entered the emergency room. The doctor told Xu Li to prepare for the funeral, but the old man Without dying, Xu Li didn't dare to inform Zhuo Lan rashly. He notified Luo Guofu, Luo Guoqiang, and Zhuo Jianping (Zhuo Lan's uncle) all. Everyone was there, and they brought their families with them.

I saw Xu Feiyu again in the ward.

When these people saw Zhuo Lan's mother, they respectfully called her "Sister-in-law."

Zhuo Lan's mother took Zhuo Lan's hand and walked silently to the bedside, reaching out to touch her father's face, tears streaming down her cheeks.The rest of the people stood silently around the bed, but Zhuo Lan couldn't control her emotions, and cried bitterly on her father's body.

Regarding parting, we have experienced too much. We think that we can accept life, old age, illness and death calmly. When everything really happens to the people around us, we feel that the so-called "calm acceptance" is nothing more than comforting ourselves.I prefer to believe that there is a soul and reincarnation. With this belief, it is enough to comfort our frightened and restless hearts.

The funeral of Zhuo Lan’s father was held in Shanghai. A few days later we chartered a flight back to Kunming with his ashes, and held another grand funeral in Kunming. He guarded Zhuo Lan every step of the way, accompanied her, coaxed her, and comforted her.

At noon on the day of the funeral, all the guests were arranged to dine at the Century Jinyuan Hotel. After lunch, Zhuo Lan held my arm and said that she wanted to go to the cemetery to accompany her father again. I asked if Zhuo Lan had released?Can you forgive him?

Zhuo Lan shook her head and said, "I may...still can't forgive what he did. Some thoughts are deeply rooted, just like I hated my mother for more than ten years."

I don't know how to persuade Zhuo Lan. I accompanied her back to the public fundraiser, and unexpectedly found that Zhuo Lan's mother was standing in front of her father's tombstone wiping tears. Seeing this scene, my heart was touched. I hope Zhuo Lan can also be touched.

Zhuo Lan's mother saw the two of us, called us over, and said to Zhuo Lan: "Lan Lan...your father told you a lie, and now my mother is telling you the truth about the matter, right here, in front of you In front of my father, if I don’t say some things, maybe I won’t feel at ease in this life.”
