Reborn sparrow becomes phoenix

Chapter 8
Xingye took the photo and took a closer look, it was a family photo.

A middle-aged man and a woman are sitting in the front, and there are two big boys standing behind them. They are tall and straight, and their appearance is somewhat similar. The one on the left is older and gentle. It gives people the impression that holding a folding fan is a handsome young man walking through the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. , the one on the right is younger, with bright black eyes, slightly raised mouth corners, full of vigor and sunshine.Standing between the two boys was a little girl, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a bright smile, adding a touch of agility to the already beautiful appearance.

Xingye's gaze was involuntarily attracted by the fact that the woman in front was her grandmother. She is 40 years old, has the face of 30 years old, and has the sweetness of a 20-year-old girl. She is the kind of woman whose beauty will not be concealed by time.Xingye thought of how she looked when she was 30 years old. In terms of appearance alone, the two were seven or eight times alike, but their temperament was incomparable. If I was 30 years old without makeup, I would not be able to cover up my paleness and haggardness. The gentle temperament makes up for the disadvantages of age, just like fine wine, the longer it gets, the more flavorful it becomes.

She must be a happy woman, only a happy woman can have that smile.

Looking at the grandfather sitting next to him, Xingye thought of him as the Qi Shao played by Chen Kun in "The Family of Gold Fans" when he heard his mother talking about it, but now looking at the photos, he looks more like the middle-aged Liu Dekai, but I don't know what his temper is. Sample.

"Grandma is so beautiful, my two uncles are also very handsome, and my mother is like a little princess."

"That year your grandparents were wrong, our family was reunited, and we took a special family portrait." Yu Youyue signaled Xingye to give her the photo, looked at it seriously, and said with emotion: "It's also the last family portrait."

"Mom, when you get better, let's go see grandma and the others together, shall we?"

"There's no need to coax mom. Mom knows whether she's in good health or not. She won't last long. Don't be sad when the day comes."

"mom……"

Yu Youyue interrupted her.

"I'm not a good daughter. I have received so much love from my parents, but I haven't been filial to them for a day, and I want them to be sad with me. Xingye, if you have a chance, you have to be filial to your grandparents for your mother, okay?" Yu Youyue Looking at her daughter, she smiled slightly until she saw her solemnly nodding her head in agreement.

Xingye held the green hardcover book in front of her mother, and asked: "Mom, what is this?" She wondered why she didn't find these things in her previous life. I thought that I only knew how to cry at that time, and I didn't know about human affairs. Many things belonging to my parents were stolen. Relatives burned it, and I am afraid that these are not valuable things, and it is very likely that the handkerchiefs and bracelets were given to the children to play with.

Yu Youyue took the hardcover book, and instead of answering Xingye's words, she sighed and said slowly:

"Ye Zi, both your father and your elder brother really love you, and our mother and daughter owe them a lot."

"Father and elder brother will always be my dearest family members." Xing Ye thinks of her stepfather and brother Hui Ye, that family love can never be parted.

"Yes, Xingye, we have never kept it from you. Although you have no blood relationship with them, blood relationship is not the only criterion for measuring family affection. From now on, you and Huiye should love each other and support each other. No matter what the situation is, don't forget that he is Your brother, dear brother."

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Then there's no need to say, my brother and I are on good terms." Seeing her mother looking tired, Xingye said: "Mom, lie down and rest, we will talk about it tomorrow."

Yu Youyue talked continuously for a long time, and she was already very tired, but she couldn't let go of it and cheered up tonight to explain clearly.

"It's okay, I have something I want to tell you. It's about your life experience. Mom knows you're a good boy. Since she was sensible, she never mentioned this in front of me. She is afraid that I will be sad. Don't you want to know who your biological father is? ?”

"Mom, our family lives very well. I don't want to know at all. That person just brought me into the world. He has never appeared in my life. I have a father, but it won't be him." Xingye said all from the bottom of my heart.

Yu Youyue also saw that her daughter was speaking from her heart, and she was filled with emotion.

"You have the right to know. I was afraid that you would not be able to pretend to be young and could not treat this matter correctly, but during this time your father is not here. Seeing that you are very considerate in dealing with people, I feel at ease. You really grow up big."

"Mom, I really don't want to know, you don't need to tell me."

"Actually, I really don't know how to tell you. I can only say that it is an immature relationship. I believe that both parties are sincerely devoted, but I ignore that although love is a matter of two people, marriage contains too much. There is no external force, and life is not enough to have love. That is my diary from back then, and the correspondence between us, you will understand after reading it.”

Xingye picked up the green book and wanted to open it, but Yu Youyue pressed her hand.

"Yezi, I heard from my mother that I haven't seen these things since I married your father. Don't read them now, until my mother is gone..."

Xingye quickly put down the diary and held her mother's hand, feeling uncomfortable but didn't know what to say.

"Yezi, I don't want to say anything to your biological father. I don't want my words to affect your understanding of him. Remember that I don't hate him, but you have to decide whether you recognize him or not. Daughter, Mom can't accompany you Now, you have to learn to choose the most beneficial life, hey, no matter how sensible you are, you are only 16 years old."

Xingye was very sad when her mother seemed to confess her last words, so she hugged her mother's shoulders and stuck closer.After experiencing a lot of emotional ups and downs, her mother lived a normal but happy life with her stepfather for more than ten years. Her children were still underage, but she was about to die again, and her grandfather's family, which she could not meet, became her eternal pain.

"Yezi, can your dad come back? I'm afraid..."

Yu Youyue's words made Xingye's eyes wide open,
"Of course, years ago..." Xingye couldn't continue under her mother's gaze.

"It's good to be back, to meet again..."

In an instant, Xingye understood her mother's thoughts and held back her tears.The clumsy lies of myself and my third aunt and the evasive language of everyone have long made the smart mother suspicious, but she doesn't want to tell the truth, she doesn't want to ask clearly, so she still has a glimmer of hope, her father is really on a business trip, and although she is here She was afraid of being worried, but she was even more afraid that her fear would be confirmed, and everything would become irreparable, so she chose to believe our lies, so that she would not let her last hope be dashed, and only people can live if they have hope.

She was also planning for the worst, knowing that she would not be able to live alone in the small town without her father, so she opened up her dusty memories and brought up her grandpa's family. If she didn't want her grandpa and grandma to take care of her, she might not I won't mention it to anyone again.

This night, Yu Youyue didn't let Xingye go back to her room. The mother and daughter hugged each other and chatted for a long time until they fell asleep tiredly.It was on this starry night that I realized that I had never known my mother, this good mother who sacrificed a lot for herself.
