While his aunt was pouring tea, Uncle Qin was smoking stacks of cigarettes next to him and glanced at Li Yong from time to time.
Li Yong always smiled and didn't mind the other party's scrutiny.
After a while, he saw a little head peeking out from behind the door of a nearby room. He seemed to be aware of something strange outside. Then he saw a new face coming. Out of a child's alertness and curiosity, he was alert. Want to see it again.
Li Yong knew that this was Dongdong, a child of his own identity.
His father has not been around since he was a child. Although he has his mother, Qin Nan can only come to see him every once in a while. Fortunately, he still has his uncle and great-aunt. This intergenerational relationship can make up for the long-term absence of some parents. Pity.
But after all, they are not real parents, so they feel very different.
Moreover, his mother comes back from time to time to visit, but his father has never been seen since he was born.
He himself knew it and found it strange. He once asked his mother why he did not have a father when everyone else had a father. At such times, his mother always seemed very embarrassed.
So much so that when he sees a strange man who looks younger, he will also wonder if this is his father.
Until he saw the strange man opposite who had been smiling at him suddenly waved and said, "Are you Dongdong? Come here and let dad see you."
Dongdong was so shocked that he ran behind the door. It took him a while to realize what he was doing. He walked out slowly and looked at his uncle first. He saw a sad look on his face and didn't seem to notice her. Instead, his uncle came over and pulled her away. He looked at Li Yong and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Dongdong, haven't you always wanted your father? Now your father is here..."
"Is he really my dad?"
Because they have never had one before, the child is very worried about gains and losses, and even dare not recognize him directly in front of him.
These words made Li Yong laugh out loud. He stepped forward and pulled him over and said, "Of course I am your father. Why, mother has never mentioned me to you?"
The child shook his head honestly. His mother got stuck as soon as she brought up the topic of her father. How could she take the initiative to bring him up?
So he really didn't know anything about his father.
Now suddenly a strange man whom he had never seen before came up to him and said that he was his father. Even with the support of his aunt and uncle, the child could not wrap his mind around it.
"It's okay. Sooner or later our family will be together."
Aunt Qin next to her heard this and stopped talking.
Uncle Qin motioned to his wife to take the child aside first, as he wanted to talk to Li Yong.
After Aunt Qin brought the reluctant Dongdong back to the room, he asked: "Meng Bin, if you are really Meng Bin, it is true that Dongdong is your child, but you went abroad in the first place, and now He ran back without saying a word, I want to ask you, does Qin Nan know?"
Li Yong shook his head, knowing that at this time he could only impress people by being honest and showing some true feelings.
In fact, if he wants to impress Qin Nan, not just Dongdong, it would be best if he can get Uncle Qin and others to agree first and also speak for him.
So he smiled and said: "Uncle, I know it was my fault for leaving without saying goodbye, and I'm sorry for Qin Nan. In fact, during these years abroad, I have always thought about their mother and son, but... I was The colorful world fascinated my eyes and made me a little lost, so I never wanted to come back.
"But I have experienced something recently, and I suddenly figured it out. Everything before seemed like a dream. So I came back, and I want to come back to find them. I can't let Dongdong be a child without a father, nor can I Let Qin Nan bear all this alone. .net
"I can all imagine the hardships and grievances she has suffered over the years, so I will never let her bear it alone again. And you and your aunt, I will find a way to deal with the sacrifices you have made for their mother and son over the years. I’ll make it up to you.”
Uncle Qin waved his hand and said calmly: "There is no need to talk about compensation. If you tell me, you might as well talk to Qin Nan when the time comes."
The old man's thoughts are actually very simple
, also very rustic.
Over the years, they have watched Qin Nan survive like this, and they have also watched Dongdong worry about not having a father.
If Li Yong really changes his mind, they are willing to give him such a chance.
Of course, after living a long life and eating more salt than some people eat rice, it is naturally impossible for Uncle Qin to be directly moved by Li Yong's words. He still has to listen to his words, watch his actions, and take his time to see what he says. .
"Then what are your plans next? Are you staying here and waiting for Qin Nan to come back? She will come here once or twice a month, and the time is not very fixed. After all, taking the train from Shanghai is a waste of driving around. A lot of time."
He told Li Yong about Qin Nan's difficulties and was watching his attitude.
"Or do you want to take Dongdong away directly and then go find her together?"
Hearing this, Li Yong smiled in his heart. If he agreed, he would probably immediately arouse the other party's vigilance and regard him as a child abductor, right?
After all, someone who hadn't appeared for several years suddenly appeared, and he came back from abroad. His identity was not yet certain on Uncle Qin's side.
However, Li Yong frowned, shook his head and said, "No, I don't plan to see Qin Nan directly now, I have to do something first."
"Oh?" This surprised Uncle Qin, and he stopped smoking.
Li Yong smiled and said, "Actually, when I come back this time, in addition to finding their mother and son, I also plan to go back to the country to do some things. Now that the country is developing, since I have the ability, of course I want to be a part of building the motherland."
If it was the previous Meng Bin, it would be unlikely that he would have such thoughts. After all, if he came here at that time and went to the colorful world outside, he would inevitably be distorted by some impact.
Such people are not uncommon even in the future, let alone now?
However, Li Yong has always felt that it is okay for him to scold as a member, and he also hopes that it will be good, but when he really needs to be used, he cannot shrink back.
Even in the world of movies.
Uncle Qin was slightly moved and said, "Is this your family's idea or your own?"
Li Yong shook his head and said, "It's my own decision, but I did it naturally if I wanted to do it, and I don't need to explain anything to them."
Although it is still difficult to guarantee the possibility of boasting, after hearing these words, Uncle Qin seemed to have a much better impression of Li Yong.
Li Yong added: "So during this period, I have to ask uncle to continue to help take care of Dongdong. I will stay here with him for a few days, and he must also really hope to have a father to play with him."
"After that, I will do things first. When the time is right, I will go to Qin Nan again - I hope that I will stand upright in front of her by then, instead of being a deserter like I did at the beginning..."
Uncle Qin nodded. He was not good at words. At this time, he initially recognized Li Yong, but he didn't say much and continued to smoke.
When Li Yong saw him like this, he also smiled, got up and went into the house to look for Dongdong. At this time, Aunt Qin collected her clothes from outside and walked in. She glanced into the room where laughter soon sounded, and vaguely... Seeing that Li Yong seemed to be teasing Dongdong with a new toy, he was relieved but ran over and asked Uncle Qin: "Hey, do you think he is Meng Bin?"
Uncle Qin said in a low voice, "Only Qin Nan knows, but it would be nice if I could stay here and play with Dongdong for a few days."
Aunt Qin sighed and said, "That's right. Alas, this kid Dongdong..."
