Live 80s daily life

Chapter 41 Punish yourself
Si Peilin and Si Tingsheng were sitting at the pear-blossom table by the window in the study room which was still quaint and filled with all kinds of precious books and valuable antiques.

Outside the window, there is a plum grove. In this cold winter day, the plum blossoms bloom exceptionally well.

Looking at it at a glance, the pink and white plum blossoms are in full bloom, elegant and refined.

Si Peilin was fascinated by looking at Mei Lin. He remembered that his mother loved the plum blossoms here. She used to take him to play under the plum blossom tree and teach him to write and draw plum blossoms under the beautification tree. .

For some reason, he still remembered the memories that had passed for so many years.

Because, that is the few memories between him and his mother.

"Peilin, for more than ten years, I have fulfilled your wish and never let them set foot here."

Si Tingsheng looked at Si Peilin lovingly, and spoke softly.

The ones he was talking about were the mother and son who were in the living room just now.

Si Peilin sneered!
"Do you think that's enough?"

He withdrew his rare gentle gaze, and shifted his gaze to Si Tingsheng's face.

She was as cold as ice, and there was a hatred that couldn't be concealed at all.

Of course, he didn't intend to hide it either.

"Peilin, it's been so many years, you."

"No matter how many years have passed, even if you die, I will not forgive you."

Si Peilin interrupted Si Tingsheng's words, every word pierced into Si Tingsheng's heart like a knife.

Knife after knife, without mercy.

"Peilin."

Si Tingsheng's face no longer had the gentleness just now, and his face turned pale, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

The surprise that Si Peilin came back for the first time in these few years just now also dissipated.

After all, he was still unwilling to forgive.

"Go to a place with me tomorrow, and bring that set of 'Golden Jade Match'."

Si Peilin didn't care about Si Tingsheng's loss at all, his tone was still cold, without any warmth.

"Golden jade marriage?"

'Jin Yu Liang Yuan' is a set of jewelry made of pure gold, including a necklace, earrings, two pairs of bracelets, and anklets.

Each piece is exquisitely crafted and extremely luxurious, and was passed down to the daughter-in-law by the Si family.

At the beginning, Si Tingsheng's father gave this set of jewelry to his mother. After his mother passed away, Si Tingsheng put away this set of jewelry.

"Yes, 'Golden Jade Match'."

Si Peilin used concise words, as if he didn't want to say a word more.

Si Tingsheng wanted to communicate more with Si Peilin, so he asked, "Which family is the girl from? What does the family do?"

"Her parents are farmers, and their family is destitute."

Si Peilin's lips curled up with a trace of mockery, "Aren't you disappointed that you're not a lady from a famous family?"

Si Tingsheng smiled, with helplessness and bitterness in his smile.

"As long as it's the girl you like, I won't object."

He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Si Peilin's slender and beautiful hand on the table, but Si Peilin withdrew his hand without giving him a chance to have close contact with him.

Si Tingsheng's hands froze in mid-air, embarrassed and desolate.

After a while, he withdrew his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

After hearing his words, Si Peilin got up quickly and wanted to leave.

"Stay for dinner."

Si Peilin walked to the door, and when he heard Si Tingsheng's begging, his footsteps stopped.

Si Tingsheng followed and chased after him.

"We, father and son, haven't eaten together for many years."

Since he was 12 years old, he asked to go out and live alone. He had no choice but to ask his nanny and housekeeper who took care of him since he was a child to accompany him to live in a villa outside.

Since he moved out, he seldom came back. If it was not necessary, even if he passed in front of the house, he would not set foot here.

"If it wasn't for grandma, I hope I can sever the father-son relationship with you."

Si Peilin turned around and met Si Tingsheng's humble begging eyes.

"The thing I hate the most in my life is becoming your son without a choice."

A sentence is more heartbreaking than a sentence, and a word is more ruthless than a word.

Si Tingsheng's body shook and he almost fainted.

"Take it as me and you to make a marriage contract for the girl you like."

Every word is difficult.

Si Peilin smiled, ironically.

"Alright, I don't want to owe you any favors either."

He put his hands in the pockets of his coat and looked at him contemptuously.

"But I also have a condition."

"What condition? Just say it."

Si Tingsheng spoke without hesitation, for fear that Si Peilin would change his mind.

"I don't want to see other people around me getting in the way."

Si Peilin left those words behind and walked towards Mei Lin alone.

"Just us father and son."

Si Tingsheng shouted loudly towards his back.

The vicissitudes of the voice, endless sadness.
-
In Meilin's pavilion, the servants arranged the meals, and Si Peilin and Si Tingsheng sat facing each other.

As the sky gradually darkened, the servants lit up lanterns, and small lanterns were also lit on every plum tree. Looking around, it was like a dream.

After the servants finished everything, under the signal of Si Tingsheng, they all left one after another.

On the table, there are three bowls and chopsticks, and three wine glasses.

Si Tingsheng picked up the wine glass, looked at Si Peilin lovingly and said: "Peilin, you are my favorite child no matter what time, I know I made a mistake back then, if you are not willing to forgive me, I will not forgive you." Understandably, I have been blaming myself every day for more than ten years."

Si Peilin seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and said sarcastically, "You will also blame yourself? If you really blame yourself, you should drive the three of them out, so that there is no other mistress in this house .”

"Peilin, they are after all"

"Don't say anything about self-blame to me. Even if you blame yourself, it's your retribution, and this retribution is too light."

"Peilin, give me a chance, please? Let me make up for you."

Si Tingsheng put himself in the most humble position and begged.

"Okay!"

Si Peilin readily agreed!
"Kick out their mother and son, cut off all ties with them, and I will give you a chance to make up for me."

"Peilin."

Si Ting was in a dilemma.

"Since you can't do it, then you can make peace with their family, and I, I hope you will never show up after tomorrow."

Si Peilin stood up and left resolutely.

Si Tingsheng called his name, but Si Peilin acted as if he didn't hear him, walked through the corridors, and disappeared into Sifu.

Si Tingsheng looked at the table that hadn't moved, and a tear fell.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood was spit out and spilled on the floor of the pavilion!

"master!"

The butler saw the situation here from a distance and hurried over.

"Hey, master, you tell the young master about your situation, he is not a cold person, and he will forgive you."

"Forget it, don't tell him."

He took out the handkerchief in his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Sitting back on the stone bench again, he drank wine alone and ate the sumptuous dishes on the stone table.

At the same time, he also put vegetables and wine in the other two empty bowls on the table.

"After so many years, our family is finally having a reunion dinner together again."

He talks to himself!

The aged butler looked at this bleak scene, his nose was sore, and he couldn't help crying.

"Master, there was nothing you could do back then. If you told the young master about your embarrassment back then, the young master might understand you."

"How many times have I told you? You are not allowed to reveal a single word about that incident back then."

Si Tingsheng scolded angrily.

The butler can only shut up!
His master, this is punishing himself.
