Age of Rebirth

An unexpected scene appeared, Liu Xinlan came to the living room, Xiaoling's parents completely recognized her as their daughter, so that they were in a trance.

Tang Qiuli's angry shout made Liu Xinlan startled, she woke up from a state of bewilderment, but her heart was almost broken in pain, "Facing it together, why should I face it? I am innocent! " she yelled inwardly, but found that she couldn't say a word.

Tang Qiuli swallowed back tears, and said word by word: "Master, aunt, you two old people, my sister Ling has gone and will never come back. The one standing in front of you is not your daughter, she is Liu Xinlan , is my fiancée!"

In this way, although it is a bit unreasonable, Tang Qiuli must do this. He must let the two old people accept this cruel fact and have the courage to live. Sometimes, facing the truth is better than living in fantasy much better.

Tang Qiuli's words cruelly shattered the dreams of the two old people. Aunt Zhang covered her face with her hands and screamed: "My poor daughter!" and slumped on the chair.

The knuckles of Uncle Zhang's fingers turned white, and he held the wine glass tightly, without saying a word. Suddenly, he raised his head, drank half of the glass of wine, and said, "My wife, accept your fate, Xiao Qiu is telling the truth. Our Ling'er has really gone and will never come back again, don't be like this, scare other girls!"

Although Uncle Zhang spoke firmly, anyone could see the pain in the old man's heart from his twitching cheeks and trembling hands.

Uncle Zhang clasped his fists again, bowed to the surroundings, and said, "I'm sorry, I spoiled everyone's interest, come on, let's continue drinking!" After speaking, there was another full glass of wine.He drank it all in one gulp, and the wine stains slid down his neck, but he didn't even notice it.

Tang Qiuli's father hurriedly persuaded him: "Brother Zhang, drinking like this will hurt your health. Come and sit down. We are all old folks who know the basics. The big guys also know about those things back then. Why did we leave our hometown? What about our child, he left at a young age, if you want to hate him, we will hate you little devil!"

Including Tang Qiuli's second uncle.Several people, including Uncle Huang, also came to persuade.The frozen atmosphere in the living room.Somewhat lively.

At this time, no one expected that Tang Qiuli would make an astonishing move. With a "plop", he knelt down on the ground and raised his head.With a trembling voice, he said, "Your elders, don't be sad, and don't worry about being old and lonely. I, Tang Qiuli, swear in front of so many folks. From now on, the second elders will be my parents!"

Saying, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" With three loud bangs, they knocked on the concrete floor and shouted loudly, "Father! Mother!"

Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang came to their senses, and said with mixed sorrow and joy: "Son, how can your aunt and I afford such a heavy etiquette? Get up quickly! It's cold on the ground, we both know what's on your mind! Enough! "

Mei Xue on the side also bowed obediently, and said: "You two old people, from now on, your elders will also be my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and your daughter-in-law greets your elders, father—! Mother—!" Calling, almost to tears.

Only Liu Xinlan fluttered her lips so white that there was no trace of blood at a loss, her mind went blank, she didn't know what to do, she stayed there like a fool, Tang Qiuli was affectionate, Mei Xue was the official wife, You can do this, how about yourself?

What identity?What name?and----!This is a knot!

It was Aunt Zhang who saw Liu Xinlan's helplessness, a look of pity flashed in her eyes, wiped away the tears in her eyes, and beckoned to Liu Xinlan kindly, "Come on, son, come and sit with Auntie, seeing you is like seeing you." Like an old girl in my family, hey, people are old and can't handle things, didn't they scare you?"

Liu Xinlan saw the love and hope in the old man's eyes, as well as the sincerity in the eyes, just like a mother seeing her daughter, this kind of eyes, in her memory, is already a very distant thing, so far away that she almost forgot her own life When I saw the appearance of my parents suddenly, I couldn't help but tremble slightly.

However, when she really went to sit next to the old man, she didn't have the courage to take this step, and she couldn't overcome the hurdle in her heart. Liu Xinlan looked at Tang Qiuli as if asking for help, Tang Qiuli stroked her shoulder, and said softly. She whispered in her ear: "Xinlan, go, don't let the old man be sad anymore, just comfort a mother who lost her daughter, that painful heart!"

Liu Xinlan hesitated to go, Aunt Zhang was so happy that she burst into tears, she took her hand, staring at her, as if she wanted to imprint it in her heart, for fear that the person in front of her would suddenly disappear, Liu Xinlan felt sad, her heart was complicated Emotions that cannot be expressed in words.

"Okay! The son of our old Tang family should have this responsibility! Qiu'er, from now on, you will honor your father and mother as much as you honor me and your mother!" Tang Qiuli's father suddenly said loudly.

"Come on, today is a happy day. Although the folks from the village are from the same village, it is rare to get together so peacefully in a year. It is even more joyful to have the relatives of Brother Zhang and Sister-in-law. Let's raise our glasses, drink the wine in the glass, and don't go home if you don't get drunk today!" After finishing speaking, he drank a large glass of wine, and it seemed that his father was really moved, and Tang Qiuli's actions made him see The side of the son who values ​​love and righteousness in his heart can't help but feel very relieved.

The atmosphere in the living room has reached a new level. Everyone has opened their eyes. What is the status of the eldest son of the old Tang family? I haven't forgotten my roots, I haven't forgotten my old folks, I am happy, the boldness of the men in the Northeast has come out, and I started a big bowl of wine.

Tang Qiuli and Mei Xue, toasting at the table, everyone drank it all in one gulp, Aunt Zhang kept adding food to Liu Xinlan's bowl, "Girl, eat more, it's time to grow up Working in the army, running outside all day long, if you don’t have the strength, you can’t do it, eat more!” The old man had a doting look on his face.

Liu Xinlan, however, felt uncomfortable all over, watching Tang Qiuli and Mei Xue both toast, she suddenly became inexplicably jealous, her face was blushing, she didn't know how to address her, her eyes never left her two old people, and she said: " Eat it yourself, I'll pour wine for the folks with Qiuli and Sister Xue!"

Aunt Zhang smiled so that the wrinkles on her face bloomed, and she praised the other people at the table, "Look, it's a girl from a big place, she has eyesight, Xiaoqiu, she has eyesight , find such a good girl who is educated and reasonable, go to the children, don't be tired! After pouring the wine, come back to the aunt's place to sit!"

This meal, I drank it happily, everyone took on the alcohol, talked and chatted, and became more unrestrained. I don’t know who it was, and they sang the Northeast Errenzhuan at the top of their voices. The room echoed the soul-stirring tune of Errenzhuan, filling the room with the Northeast flavor.

Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan, holding hands, stood in the corner of the living room, feeling the atmosphere exuding a strong Northeast local flavor. Although they couldn't fully understand it, they could feel the joy from the hearts of the villagers.

The two of them were surprised to find that Tang Qiuli also sang loudly, with tears in his eyes. However, different from this happy atmosphere, there was a sense of reminiscence and desolation in his voice, like a catharsis of inner emotions .

The two were fascinated by what they heard, and no one noticed that Tang Qiuli was sitting in a corner by himself, silently holding up his wine glass, drinking one cup after another of the [-]-degree grain stew, waiting for Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan When he realized it, there were about seven or eight cups of wine poured into his stomach.

Mei Xue pulled Liu Xinlan, and the two hurried over. They were all the women around him, especially Mei Xue, who had been with Tang Qiuli for the longest time. Knowing her man's drinking capacity, she didn't usually have the habit of drinking. I had to walk against the wall, and after five or six, I started to be top-heavy, and I drank so much hard alcohol all at once, my God, why not kill him?

Mei Xue quickly snatched the wine glass from Tang Qiuli's hand in distress, and complained in a low voice: "Since getting off the plane to now, I haven't eaten a bite of food, and drank so much wine on an empty stomach, is it going to die?" Liu Xinlan hurriedly took the wine bottle Go, fumbling around with towels.

Tang Qiuli's complexion was as purple as a burning cloud, and his eyes were already blurred by drunkenness. He must have had strong alcohol in his stomach. He was so hot that he unbuttoned his military uniform, panting heavily, breathing heavily, and looked sideways at Both of them were a little slurred, "Xue, Xinlan, I'm happy, I just want to drink, pour me some more!"

The two of them were willing to agree. At this time, the villagers were already drunk and drunk, and they all staggered away without saying hello. No one noticed the situation in the corner of the living room.

Suddenly there was no lively movement in the living room. Tang Qiuli seemed to be aware of it. He squinted his eyes and looked around. He smirked and slapped the table proudly. Get drunk once, it's rare to get drunk a few times in life, good wine!"

Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan could tell that this guy was already drunk, and he was not lightly drunk. Where would they pour him another drink? They went forward together and prepared to help him back to the bedroom to rest. Mei Xue frowned and said reproachfully: "Qiu Li, you can't drink any more, it will worry me and Xinlan!"

Thinking of that, Tang Qiuli stared drunkenly, threw the two of them away, and shouted in a rough voice: "Masters drink, you girls don't care, it's against the sky! Believe it or not, I divorce you—— , and—you!" Pointing at Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan, her gaze was blurred.

Both Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan trembled in shock, and looked at each other. They have been by Tang Qiuli's side for a long time, and they have never heard him speak foul words, speak harsh words to them, lose their temper with themselves, what happened today? up?This man, still has such a rude side?

Especially Mei Xue, when she heard the words "divorce you", she was so wronged that tears welled up in her eyes, and she tried her best not to fall down.
