Back to the Good Life of the 80s

Chapter 457 It Doesn't Matter Anymore
What Mom regrets the most now is that she treated Zhijie indifferently back then.

Nie Zhijie glanced at Xie Huiguo, how did he know he had a pocket watch?

"I have a younger brother who was lost when I was a child, you know?" Parents are serious, they can't say it, but they put the task on him.

He and Zhijie are not as close as they thought!In the past, we didn't speak more than three sentences when we met, and the sum of more than ten years didn't add up as much as tonight.

"I know!" Nie Zhijie said, that's why he adopted him.

"When my younger brother lost it, he had a pocket watch with patterns engraved on it and English in it. I also have one of that kind." Xie Huiguo took out the pocket watch from his pocket, opened it, and took it from another pocket. Take out the flashlight and show him.

Nie Zhijie has no impression of what the pocket watch looks like, after all, it has been so long.He remembered the English on the watch very clearly.

Seeing Xie Huiguo's pocket watch, Nie Zhijie had a vague memory, it seemed a bit like it.The English inside is different.

"Mom said, one of these two pocket watches is her English name, and the other is Dad's name. This one is my dad's name, and the other is Mom's name." Xie Huiguo read it out, and then looked at him.

Nie Zhijie didn't admit it, nor did he deny it.Xie Huiguo dared to speak out, which shows that the adoptive parents have absolute evidence in their hands.

"So, you suspect that I am your lost brother?"

Nie Zhijie finally understood why his adoptive mother's attitude towards him had changed.Hearing this result, Nie Zhijie's expression didn't change.

"Where did you know that I have a pocket watch?" He wore that watch close to his body since he was a child, and later put it away for safekeeping. His adoptive parents didn't know about it.

Xie Huiguo laughed sarcasticly, "Maybe you wouldn't have guessed that Lin Mengru told your parents about this. Mom went to your room and found that watch. She cried for a few days with that watch in her arms, and no one would listen to her advice."

Lin Mengru threatened his parents with this matter, and when they divorced, she would speak out, and if she didn't divorce, she would die.

There's no need to tell him about it.

From then on, he found that Lin Mengru was not as beautiful as he imagined!

Nie Zhijie remained silent.It doesn't matter whether he is their own son or not. They raised him and gave him a home when he was young.

This relationship is not something that can be broken just by saying it.

Xie Huiguo sighed, he said everything he needed to say, but he didn't know what Zhijie was thinking.

Zhong Simimei was watching TV in the living room, her eyes always turned to the door, when she heard footsteps in the yard, knowing that the two brothers had come back, she immediately walked over.

"How did this happen? All covered in mud? Rolled into the pond? Is he alright?" Zhong Simimei saw the mud on the younger son's body, and kept walking around him, worried that he would be injured, and turned to talk about the older son.

"Huiguo and you too, you have to shout out at night. There is no place to talk to you at home!"

Xie Huiguo shook his head amusedly, and went upstairs.Now in mother's heart, Zhijie is the treasure.

"I'm fine, pick the mud from the lotus pods. Try it out! I'm going upstairs." Nie Zhijie gave her some lotus pods, and took the rest upstairs.

Zhong Simi was a little confused, just now he only saw the mud on his body, but didn't notice the lotus pod on his hand.

The lotus pods were picked for the daughter-in-law, and she had been honored by her daughter-in-law.

Zhong Simmei glanced at the lotus pod in her hand, ran to the study to find Lao Xie, and said when she entered the door: "Old Xie, this lotus pod was given to me by Zhijie. Tell me, did Huiguo tell him? Did he know that? thing?"

Chief Xie was practicing brush calligraphy, but was interrupted by her in shock, so he simply put away the brush and stopped writing.

"Do you know what's the matter? His temper is already like that, and he can't change it. If he doesn't know, you don't think he is your son?"

"How is that possible! Do you know that he is also my son? It's the flesh that fell from my body. I was pregnant in October and was born under the enemy's artillery fire..."

Zhong Simmei burst into tears as she spoke, "I shouldn't have treated him like that. He's only fourteen or fifteen years old. He hasn't suffered much. He has gone so far away from home alone, and he has no relatives around him... I Why are you so cruel!"

"Look at you, what are you crying for?" Chief Xie was terrified, and quickly hugged and coaxed, "The children thought I was bullying you when they heard it. It's fine when you get back. Zhijie is soft-hearted. Get better, he'll understand."

"He should have blamed me." Zhong Simi wiped her face, "You're right, just find it, I'll treat them well in the future."

"Hey, you're right to think so. The past has happened, and nothing can be changed except regret, but we can change the future!"

Zhong Simei laughed "puchi" and gave him a thump, "Old Xie, I didn't expect you to be quite good at coaxing people."

…………

With no one around, Wang Ting couldn't sleep no matter what, and rolled around on the bed again.When Zhijie was working in the past, she was the only one at home, and she slept soundly, not as tender as she is now.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Wang Ting immediately turned over and ran to open the door.

"Are you back?" Seeing the mud all over his body, he asked, "Where did you get it? Did you fight?"

Wang Ting clicked her tongue, her beauty was a disaster.The point is, the confidante is not as good as her!
"What are you thinking about?" Nie Zhijie led her back, let her sit on the bed, and gave her the lotus.

Wang Ting grabbed a handful of lotus pods and smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes, "I made it by picking lotus pods."

"Well, I'm going to take a shower." Nie Zhijie took a change of clothes and went to take a shower.

Wang Ting held the lotus pod and looked left and right, her heart was as sweet as eating honey, and she wanted to share her good mood with others.

"Dabai, look, the lotus pod that Zhijie picked for me." There was no one else in the room to talk about except Dabai, and Wang Ting cruelly pulled the sleeping Dabai up.

Dabai got annoyed, jumped up and flapped Wang Ting's wings.I was having a sweet dream. In the dream, there was a beautiful big white goose dancing around it. When the two geese were about to shy away, the beautiful white goose girl disappeared.

Wang Ting got two wings, but she couldn't stop her from being happy.I peeled a lotus seed and threw it into my mouth. I felt that what I ate was not a lotus seed, but a elixir, and people are floating.

Dabai couldn't see her flustered, so he rushed over to grab the lotus pods, pecked and gnawed his belly, happy.

Let you show off, let you win, now let's see how you can win!

Dabai didn't sleep on the bed anymore, he jumped down and ran to sleep on the table, so as not to be disturbed by others.

Wang Ting "cut" and continued to eat lotus seeds. She hid a handful of lotus seeds in her hand, with more than a dozen of them.

Just as Nie Zhijie sat down, Wang Ting stuffed a peeled lotus seed into his mouth.

Nie Zhijie crushed it and ate it.

"Where did you get the lotus seeds?" Wang Ting asked, but there was no pond in the compound.

"To the west, there is a pond. When I left, the pond only raised fish, but now it also grows lotus root."
