Phoenix and Legend

Chapter 67
In the afternoon, suddenly dark clouds flashed, making the sun very quiet.

Caining wanted to call Jinlin and ask him to meet at night, but she didn't bring her mobile phone with her. She was extremely anxious, and suddenly a pain flashed in her heart, and there was a look of panic in her eyes: Jinlin, we will never come again. Haven't had a chance to meet?For so long, I have been looking forward to meeting you in the alley every day, but you are still my lonely figure. Could it be that our fate in this life has really faded away...

Just when Caining was feeling extremely disappointed, Meng Lanlan came to her with a serious face and said, "Caining, your mother just called and said that your stepfather is seriously ill and has been admitted to the county hospital. She wants you to go. I have already discussed with the manager, I will go to the city for training in a few days later, I will take over your job for the time being, if you need any help, just let me know."

After hearing this, Cai Ning felt sad and her eyes were full of sadness. The sadness came from her stepfather's love for her. She said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Lan Lan." After Cai Ning finished speaking, her eyes were moistened, He hurriedly left the Lanhua Commercial Building and took a taxi to the Wutong County Hospital.

Caining came to the door of the advanced ward of the county hospital. Through the glass window, she saw her stepfather Ren Shaoqiang lying on the bed moaning in pain, and her mother Liu Yufang sitting beside him and waiting for her while weeping.

At this time, Cai Ning was in a very heavy mood, tears had already blurred her eyes, she put her arms around her wind-blown hair, gently opened the door, and walked in slowly.

Ren Shaoqiang was very moved when he saw Cai Ning's figure, he suddenly regained his energy, and said in a trembling voice: "Yu Fang, help me up quickly, quickly..." Cai Ning was full of sadness, and hurried forward to support him and said : "Father, please lie down quickly, it's because of your daughter's unfilial piety, she is late."

Facing Caining's concern and sincere words, Ren Shaoqiang felt very relieved in his heart. He said sadly: "Caining, I never thought you could call me father. I am content with death. Father was sorry for you back then. Live you, I ruined your love and hope."

After hearing this, Caining was distraught, and she squeezed out a smile to comfort Ren Shaoqiang and said: "Father, don't blame yourself, the unpleasant things are over, you should take good care of your illness, and when you recover, we will be together Live happily, and my daughter will serve you well."

After Ren Shaoqiang heard this, kindness flashed in his eyes, that kind of belated kindness seemed to be the last struggle of life: "Okay, okay, she is really my good daughter." After he finished speaking, he quickly fell asleep quietly.

Seeing Ren Shaoqiang falling asleep, Liu Yufang looked at Caining with apologetic and loving eyes, shed tears, and said slowly:

"Caining, your stepfather actually regretted it the second day after you got married. He knelt in front of me and kept blaming himself, saying that he was not as good as an animal. As for the 50 yuan, he always regretted it He didn’t move a penny, he said it belonged to Caining, and he took out a loan to start a business. As a result, he not only earned back all the losses he had lost over the years, but also made a net profit of more than 20 yuan. Later, he got terminally ill. I want to tell you, But he insisted on refusing, I advised him to be hospitalized early, but he stubbornly refused, he said it was retribution, he also said that all the money should be left to Caining, and asked me to promise him, otherwise he would die with nothing to do. , I had no choice but to agree. Now, according to the doctor, he only has one or two days. In fact, he has been unable to swallow this breath, and just wants to see you for the last time. "

After hearing this, Caining's eyes were sad, tears were hazy, she shook her head gently, and said very sadly: "Actually, I forgave him when I came to the hospital. After all, he raised me for more than 20 years. I also don't want to go against his wishes, I know, he had difficulties at the time, how can I ignore them and pursue my love selfishly, then I will blame myself for the rest of my life, so even if I feel unsatisfactory after marriage , with all kinds of pain and helplessness, I have never blamed him, because after all, I helped him through the difficulties."

Liu Yufang was deeply moved by her daughter's sincere and kind words, and said with great self-reproach: "Caining, I'm sorry for you too. If I had been firmer at the time, I wouldn't have let you lose your happiness. Now it's like this. Miserable."

"Okay, mother, am I divorced now? Although I was 'abandoned', I am finally free." Caining wiped away her tears and smiled to comfort her mother.

Two days later, Ren Shaoqiang passed away peacefully. Because of Caining's understanding, he did not leave any regrets, and Caining did not accept the rich inheritance, because for Caining, purity and soul are more important than anything, no matter how rich the material is. It is also incomparable with wealth.

On the day of the funeral, Caining was dressed in filial piety. Her white filial clothes, sad eyes, and thick tears made her look even more charming. It was a kind, pure, and

The beauty of true love, Cai Ning knelt in front of the grave and cried earth-shatteringly, as if the groves on the outskirts of the small town were rattling, and they seemed to be deeply moved by this benevolent and filial woman.

Since the death of Caining's stepfather, Liu Yufang has been depressed and sad.Caining was very worried, and went to accompany her mother every day after get off work.

Gradually more than a month passed, and seeing her mother's mood improved, Caining asked with concern: "Mom, what are your plans for the future?"

Liu Yufang sighed helplessly, "Oh, I don't know either."

Seeing her mother's embarrassment, Caining persuaded her, "I think you should go back to your father. His wife has been dead for more than a year. Not long ago, I went to my father's place, and he still misses you."

After hearing this, Liu Yufang asked with great concern, "How is your father?"

Cai Ning smiled and said, "Father is in good spirits and full of energy in his work, but he always looks at photos of you when you were young alone in the house at night. He can't forget you so much."

After hearing this, Liu Yufang burst into tears, feeling very emotional: "But how could I have the face to go back to him? When I was pregnant with you, I ruthlessly abandoned him and followed your stepfather."

In fact, Liu Yufang has been regretting it since the day Caining got married. She did not expect to let her daughter taste the bad results she planted back then. When she was suffering and blamed herself, she often missed Caining's biological father and regretted it. When I was young, I coveted wealth and gave up a precious relationship.

Caining looked at Liu Yufang with gentle eyes, and tried her best to persuade: "Mom, this is all a thing of the past. Father has a broad mind and loves you very much. He will definitely not care about you."

After hearing this, Liu Yufang shook her head, and said with fixed eyes, "I'd better not go, so as not to cause trouble for him."

"But, mother..."

"Caining, don't try to persuade me anymore."

……

After Caining got off the night shift, she went to her father Lin Xianghai's house.

She said regretfully to her father: "I have persuaded my mother, but she said sorry for you full of guilt and insisted on refusing to come."

Lin Xianghai comforted his daughter and said, "Caining, let me go by myself in a few days."

On Sunday morning, the sun was shining brightly, and it was as beautiful as early spring. On the roof of Liu Yufang’s old villa, several magpies were always chirping.

After Caining got up, she went to the plane tree in the yard again, feeling the scene. Under this tall plane tree, her innocent girlhood was recorded. At that time, Caining always liked to sit under the tree alone. Quietly reading a book, daydreaming, immeasurably longing for a great and romantic love in this life, now as long as her parents reunite and hold hands, Caining can go to Jinlin to renew her relationship. Thinking of this, Caining feels extremely sweet and happy, The pure and innocent eyes are full of hope: Jinlin, I haven't seen you in this period of time, I don't know if you still remember our unforgettable encounter, and the unswerving acquaintance until death, I believe you will definitely remember, because I The memory is still fresh, and you will certainly be the same as before.

The sun shines through the gaps between the leaves of the sycamore tree and surrounds Caining. She is like a phoenix, full of brilliance.

At this time, Jinlin was sitting on a rattan chair in the courtyard of the villa, staring at the newly planted sycamore tree, with deep sadness in his resolute eyes, as if all the hopes for true love were swallowed up by worries, The deep loss in my heart can no longer find a glimmer of hope: Caining, I haven't met you for so long, maybe you have already come together with the person you like, maybe he is your sixth sense, and I can only Standing in front of this delicate sycamore tree, enjoying every happy or sad day we have walked together, although I can't forget our staring as if we have passed away, but I have no strength to face you anymore, because I I don't want to interfere with your happiness and happiness. My true love for you needs morality to bestow light and splendor.

……

The happy Caining was about to make breakfast for her mother, when she heard a light knock on the door, she walked over and asked politely: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Caining, it's me."

When Caining heard that it was her father, she quickly opened the door with a happy smile: "Father, you are here, I will call mother." Then, she happily walked into the house and said, "Mom, you are coming soon!" Look in the yard to see who's coming."

Liu Yufang came out of the house, and when she saw Lin Xianghai, her eyes were full of affectionate tears, and she was very moved: "Xianghai, I really didn't expect that we would meet again."

"Yufang, how are you?" Lin Xianghai walked forward very excitedly.

"Xianghai, I'm sorry for you and Caining." Liu Yufang said apologetically.

"Yufang, don't mention the past. Now that our family is finally reunited, what a happy thing it is." Seeing Lin Xianghai's firm and kind eyes, Liu Yufang felt great warmth and relief: "Thank you, Xianghai."

"Caining, help your mother clean up, let's go home together!"

Caining wiped away the moved tears from the corners of her eyes, and said happily: "Okay, father, let's go home together!"
