Chapter 29 February 11

October 11, Sunday.

Zeng Lianxi drove back to Nancheng overnight.

The moon is as cool as water, and the stars in the sky are dim.He saw a star suddenly disappear.

At that moment, he gripped the phone tightly.

Great-grandmother still let him face it alone.She said that she was very old and it was not convenient to take a long-distance bus, and it was in the middle of the night.

Zeng Lianxi didn't feel that he was going to see his father off.He is too unfamiliar with this title.

Halfway, Fang Hong called and urgently talked about the hospital and the ward.

Zeng Lianxi gave a soft "hmm".

Fang Hong was silent for a long time, then hung up the phone with a sigh.

Zeng Lianxi looked up at the night sky again.The moon was gone, the car was dangling on the bumpy road, and his person was bumping back and forth.

The only car at night is a private car, and the price is four times that of a bus.Fang Hong said, he will pay whatever it takes.

The driver of the car yawned and glanced at the passenger: "Is there something urgent to leave the car in the middle of the night?"

"Ah."

The destination was the hospital in Nancheng. The driver understood something and said comfortingly, "I'm not afraid. I'll avoid the camera, speed up when it's time to speed up, and try to get there early."

Zeng Lianxi nodded: "Thank you, Master."

"One time I was like this. When I was out in the car, my mother suddenly fell ill. I lost all thoughts. I invited the guests out of the car and rushed to the hospital to see my mother. Although I got a bad review and was deducted the bonus of the month , but it's worth more than anything else." In the silent night, the driver's voice was long and slow.

The driver was talking about his mother, and Zeng Lianxi could completely substitute himself.

When my mother was about to leave, she kept holding his hand: "Lianxi, Lianxi, I hope you will be happy forever. It's a pity that you took my surname, and my misfortune is linked with you."

He is glad that he is connected with his mother.At least in his life, he had maternal love.

The driver arrived in three hours after a four-hour drive.

The uncle came out to pay, pulled Zeng Lianxi up, and hurried inside: "Hurry up, hurry up."

Zeng Lianxi couldn't help becoming nervous.

At the door of the ward, Fang Hong told the doctor something and let Zeng Lianxi go in.

A strange old man was lying on the bed.The sign hanging over the bed showed that this person was only middle-aged, but the illness had tortured him very vicissitudes.

Zeng Lianxi recalled that when her mother left, she was also so haggard.

Fang Hong said to the patient: "Brother, Zeng Lianxi is here, and your son is here."

There stood two girls, holding hands.They both looked at him suspiciously.

Zeng Lianxi lowered his head.

Here is a group of strangers. Although he is related to the people on the hospital bed, this is the first sight in Zeng Lianxi's memory.

Possibly the last one too.

The patient was thin and had an oxygen tube in his nose.The cheekbones were prominent, and the lines on the forehead were deep and tight.

Just at this glance, Zeng Lianxi had already engraved this person's appearance in his heart.

The man's eyeballs rolled, and he raised his hand with difficulty.

Fang Hong pulled Zeng Lianxi forward and put his hand on the patient's.

The patient had no strength, hooked his fingers, and was about to withdraw soon.

Fang Hong hurriedly wrapped the father and son's hands together.

"If I knew this, I should have gone to you earlier. I thought I still had a long time." The patient was very weak and said intermittently, "Your mother and I pooled money to buy a house for a long time. At that time, the real estate certificate was only It was entered in my own name. After the divorce, your mother took the down payment and left. Now that the house has appreciated a lot, I am leaving. There is nothing left for you. That house is also your mother’s property, so I will I leave it to you."

Zeng Lianxi looked at the two girls.

The two girls were dressed in extraordinary clothes. After listening to the patient's words, they also looked at Zeng Lianxi.

Neither spoke to each other.

The patient looked at Zeng Lianxi fixedly: "You look very similar to me when I was young."

Zeng Lianxi couldn't tell, because the patient was so thin that his cheeks were sunken.At this moment, he didn't know what to say.He moved his lips but couldn't say a word.

When grandma and mother mentioned this person, they always ended with one or two sentences, and they used derogatory terms.But looking at the haggard patient, Zeng Lianxi couldn't bear it.

As Grandma Zeng said, even if he saw a stranger, he was somewhat moved.He can only say: "Recover well."

The patient froze for a moment, and seemed to smile: "I left too early, and you hadn't spoken at that time, can you call me 'Dad'."

Zeng Lianxi pursed her lips and remained silent.

The patient finally let go of his hand and turned to the two girls.

The two of them stepped forward and called, "Dad."

At this time, a beautiful woman came in outside.She walked up to the two girls and hugged each other.

The patient said: "All my things are left to you, only the old house is his. Don't make things difficult for him."

The woman nodded and wiped her tears silently.

Zeng Lianxi looked at the family of four.This is a family.

My mother once told my grandma that selling a house is not a short-term matter.Grandma was sick, and mother was in urgent need of money. After arguing with this man for a long time, she got back the down payment.

Grandma later complained that the market price of the house had doubled, and she wanted to file a lawsuit with that person.

The mother said that grandma's operation was done in a timely manner, and everything was worth it.

Zeng Lianxi stood for a long time.

The patient asked him later: "Can I call 'Dad'?" It was like begging.

The hanging needles on the bedside were slowly running out, but Zeng Lianxi still didn't speak.

At some point the patient convulsed violently.

Fang Hong hurriedly called the doctor.

Zeng Lianxi was forced to retreat outside the ward.

After about 10 minutes, the doctor came out and shook his head.

The others rushed over, shouting for heaven and earth.

With his last breath remaining, the patient turned his gaze to Zeng Lianxi.

When Zeng Lianxi arrived at the bedside, his lips trembled. He felt that he might have made a sound, but it was very soft.

The patient didn't know if he heard it. He smiled gratifiedly and slowly closed his eyes.

Zeng Lianxi was startled.

After the doctor extubated, he yelled, "Dad..."

He rushed out of the ward and sent a message to Gao Hui: "I don't have a father anymore."

There never was, and never will be.

This week, Gao Hui lived in an old house in the west of the city.

This is his childhood home.

On the white wall in the corner, his height line is drawn year by year, and the little red flower he got in kindergarten is pasted next to it.

The windows were old, and when he first arrived, it took a lot of effort to push the rusty windows open.

The furnishings here are still the same as Gao Hui remembered.

After the parents divorced, Gao Xingyao's mother's name was put on the real estate certificate of the old house.She never came.

Gao Hui didn't want to come either, but he had nowhere to go.

There are fond memories of his childhood here.

An old wind chime in a drawer with broken glass tubes.He picked it up and shook it a few times, the sound of the wind chime was broken and ferocious.

He put the wind chime back.

He sometimes goes for a walk outside.This area is full of old houses, not many people live there, the alleys are very narrow, no more than two meters wide, but very quiet.

A week passed, wondering if his father had found any evidence.

Gao Hui turned off the phone.He didn't want to think about whether the discussion on the Internet was still heated, or whether the school had withdrawn the quota for the training team.

He became lazy, too lazy to think about the future, too lazy to dwell on the past.

Walking in the long and narrow alleyway, he figured it out by himself.Even if he is not blessed, he is unique in this world.It is precisely because of the lack of fatherly love and motherly love that he wants to love himself.

He didn't give up on himself, ate on time and went to bed on time.He felt that living alone in the future would not be too bad.

Until Gao Xingyao came to the door.

Gao Xingyao just came back from school with a big easel on his back.He is more afraid of the cold, wearing a thick coat and a fluffy headset.

He didn't use the key to open the door, and seemed to know someone was in the house.

Gao Hui heard the doorbell ringing and thought it was a delivery man.He came over with slippers on, and when he opened the door, he was speechless for a long time.

"Hi." Gao Xingyao's eyes were shining and charming like stars.

Gao Hui responded with a cold stare: "What are you doing here?"

"I come to clean it regularly." Gao Xingyao took off the headset, "You don't think that the house is so clean that no one has visited it for a long time."

"I thought the doors and windows were shut tight."

"No, I've been doing the cleaning all the time." Gao Xingyao raised his eyebrows at Gao Hui as he was about to come in.

"Oh." Gao Hui stepped aside.

It is undeniable that Gao Xingyao is a perfect person, he has no temper and always smiles at everyone, even if Gao Hui wants to get angry at him, he can't find a reason.

He suddenly thought that if he was a parent, he would prefer a child like Gao Xingyao.

Gao Xingyao took off the easel: "Dad has already investigated the truth, and he went to the traffic police to get the monitoring. You cleared the suspicion, can you go back to class?"

Gao Hui twitched the corner of his mouth: "I didn't hit anyone in the first place."

"You have to understand Dad. He is a person who is more rational than emotional. If something happens to you, he won't just sit back and watch."

Gao Hui nodded: "Of course, I wear the Gao family's surname, and he wants to protect the face of the Gao family."

Gao Xingyao smiled: "That's all I've talked to you about, and Dad will talk to you about the rest."

"Now that the truth has been found out, there is nothing to talk about. When he handed over the evidence to the school, I will go to class."

"Gao Hui, are you going to be angry with Dad all the time?"

Gao Hui quickly retorted: "Why am I betting?"

"Dad has always cared about you." Gao Xingyao sat down, "You think he urged your grades for the sake of the Gao family's face, but have you ever thought that it's actually because he treats you as a member of the Gao family. If he doesn't want to You, you can completely let you mess around, he won't take it seriously if you don't get into college."

Gao Hui stood up straight, looking down at Gao Xingyao.

Gao Xingyao leaned on the sofa: "You have an awkward personality, and so does Dad. You two are twisted together, and neither of you is willing to bow your head."

"Hmph." It turned out that the born winner came here today to scold him, a loser.

Gao Xingyao smiled narrowly: "Do you think Dad is not mean to me?"

"Isn't it very cordial? Laughing and laughing, it's fun."

"Because I was the one who pulled my face down. You might as well treat Dad like a stinky rock and cover it with your heart."

Gao Hui glared at Gao Xingyao: "Why do you want me to go? Can't I be a stinky rock?"

"You are the lovely Gao Hui, a lovely child. Compared with Dad, you are really much cuter."

"Stop using such disgusting adjectives."

"As soon as you saw Dad, you put on a stinky face. Dad was naturally unhappy, so the two of you walked further and further away. There is no good result when a stone hits a stone." Gao Xingyao stood up and looked Looking at my younger brother, "You are so tall, you are almost catching up with me."

Gao Huibai glanced over: "I will grow taller than you in the future."

"Gao Hui, you will always be a part of the Gao family. I always think so, and so does Dad." Gao Xingyao said, "By the way, you don't know, your grandfather wanted to pick you up a long time ago. But Dad didn't agree, he Say your surname is Gao, and you have been in the Gao family all your life."
