Roaming in the world of film and television

Su Daqiang said slowly: "Mingyu sent me here, and she doesn't care about me anymore."

"..."

Nie Laijin didn't know how to comfort him. After thinking for a long time, he patted his hand and said, "In fact, it's good to live in a nursing home. It doesn't bother others, and there are a group of old friends who can talk. Old Su, do you know?" , The biggest problem between our generation and our children is the generation gap. We don’t agree with what they say, and they can’t understand what we think. Living in a nursing home... is very good... very good."

"What's good? Not good, not good at all." Su Daqiang said: "No one agrees with me when I write a word, and I just watch those...what are they called, young people say...oh, anti-Japanese drama, Pingtan Few people are willing to listen to it, and they talk all day long about whose children came to see who, what kind of car they drove, how much clothes they bought, and a group of ignorant guys."

Nie Lai Jinxin said, isn't it the same for you? Back then when I lived at my daughter’s house, I took Lao He and Lao Song to see sunrooms, Mercedes-Benz cars, big houses. When Su Mingzhe wanted to take you to the United States for retirement, he satirized Director Gao at the big hotel, and now he puts on a standout What do you say?

It seems that the caregiver's claim that he doesn't fit in is not simply a matter of the ups and downs of Alzheimer's disease, but also because he is too good at pretending.

Thinking about it, my daughter used to be an executive of a large group, and my eldest son had a doctorate in the United States and a top student at Stanford. Because he was envied for too long, now he comes to the nursing home, and his mentality is out of balance.

"Yes, yes, a group of people who don't know much."

Nie Laijin changed the subject: "But Lao Su, you have to learn to adapt. You see, everyone goes to the lobby on the first floor to stay. People in the nursing home can't let everyone get cold. If the central air conditioner is broken, you have to find other ways to keep warm. When I went there, there was an electric heater inside, so it was quite warm when there were so many people together, but look at you, staying alone on it, it’s such a cold day, what a pain.”

"I'd rather stay up there than get together with those people." It could be seen that Su Daqiang held his breath in his heart.

Think about it too, families with good conditions, families with filial sons and daughters, how can it be possible for the elderly to live in nursing homes, either to take care of themselves or ask a nanny to take care of them.

"Old Su, if I knew this earlier, why did I do it?" Nie Laijin seemed to have learned the truth from Lin Yue: "You are already old, so what if you treat them like your own sons? Mingcheng and Mingzhe are so filial. Can I treat you badly? It's good now..."

He sighed heavily, regretful on his face.

"Old Nie, did you come to see me just to make sarcastic remarks?"

"How can this be a sarcastic talk?"

Nie Laijin didn't know how he had provoked him. Isn't it human nature for old friends to get together and express a few words of emotion and complaints?

"Go, you go too, just like when someone was chasing debts, you left me and ran to the United States. What kind of friends, I don't have friends like you."

"You...Old Su, are you being reasonable?"

He did not do that honestly, but in essence it was for the benefit of the Su family - if Cai Genhua dared to seek the property of the Su family, Su Mingcheng could use the debt to eat her to death.

But God knows that he and Su Mingcheng know about this matter. Su Daqiang, Su Mingzhe, Su Mingyu, and Wu Fei don't know anything. The reason for Su Daqiang's anger now is that he thinks that he has gone to the United States to hide his debts. Isn't it normal for the United States to avoid debts? Could it be possible to stay and suffer with you, Su Daqiang?

"Go, go quickly, I don't want to see you."

Su Daqiang became agitated, and fell ill again: "Hu, get out of my house and bring Zhao Meilan and those two bastards back to your Shanghai. Don't let me see you adulterous couple again."

Nie Laijin was stunned for a while before he realized that he thought of himself as the doctor from Shanghai.

"Su Daqiang...you are really, unreasonable."

Nie Laijin left in a fit of anger, walked out of the nursing home with a sullen face, looked back in the cold wind, and made up his mind to go to the United States and not come back for nothing.

...

The south gate of Gusu District, Tongdeli.

I don’t know whose water pipes were frozen and cracked. Originally, the alley was deep and narrow, and the buildings on both sides were built relatively high to block the sunlight. There were fine moss growing on the corners of the walls. Now, the ground was very slippery after being washed by the water.

"Xiao Mi, look at your feet."

Wu Fei was still too late to remind, Xiao Mi's foot tilted and she fell backwards.

Fortunately, Su Mingzhe had quick eyesight and quick hands, and hugged her from behind.

"Scared me."

Wu Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the people running into the water in the depths of the alley with an angry face and complained: "There are a lot of old people living here. If the alley is so slippery, who is to blame if they fall and hurt themselves? They really have no quality. "

"Feifei, keep your voice down."

Su Mingzhe was born and grew up here, so he is naturally more familiar with the situation in Tongdeli than she is. In this kind of old house in the old city, every year, many old people fall down because of the complicated terrain and rainy and snowy weather. It will be fine in five days. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to get off the ground, and then lie down until you die.

If it is an old man who has lived in Tongderry for a long time, it is fine to complain a few words. The old Su's family made so many troubles last year, and if people hear these words, they may make up some ugly jokes to laugh at them.

Wu Fei rolled his eyes at him, feeling displeased with her husband's cautiousness. They didn't just sneak into the village and go back to their old house. Do they need to be so cowardly?

"It should be here."

Su Mingzhe identified the surrounding buildings, put Xiaomi down, and took out the key Su Mingcheng gave him to open the courtyard door of the house ahead.

Since he settled in the United States, he never went back to the old house. Before Zhao Meilan passed away unexpectedly, the old man would not come here if he could not come here. Naturally, he had no chance to revisit the old place. Later, the Su family and his son were ashamed of Bo in court. At his grandma's house, he was even more ashamed to go back to Tongderry, so compared with those wanderers who haven't returned for many years, his current mentality can be said to be a big "near hometown".

No one has lived in it for more than a year, and the lock on the nose of the door is rusty, and it takes several turns to turn the lock cylinder after inserting the key.

squeak~

Accompanied by the abnormal sound of the door shaft turning, the courtyard door opened, and a scene that had not changed much from the impression appeared in front of my eyes.

There are rusty faucets and moss-stained water tanks. There is a ladder in the corner between them and the courtyard wall. Diagonally opposite are four or five flower pots. Inside are the flowers and plants raised by Zhao Meilan. There are shriveled branches and dead leaves. On the left side of the door is a bucket for swill. There are empty beer bottles piled up less than a foot away. A bunch of dry yellow weeds come out from the cracks in the bricks, looking very tenacious. of.

The door lock of the living room is easier to open, and you can hear a crackling sound when you turn the lock cylinder.

Su Mingzhe untied the chain and pushed open the door.

Wu Fei couldn't help frowning as a musty smell peculiar to vacant houses came over her face.

"It's not good if no one lives in this kind of old house."

"Then it's not our business. It's thanks to Mingcheng's negotiation with Mingda's boss that he agreed to let us deal with the items in the house."

Wu Fei didn't answer the call, and walked to the stairs leading to the second floor, and found that it was used to pile up sundries.

"All the rooms above are sold, and the neighbor opened up the wall to build a homestay. I just came over to the one you saw. The business is good." Su Mingzhe explained to her, and walked into Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang's bedroom with Xiaomi .

A piece of light leaked from the window, illuminating the photo frame on the opposite wall. He walked over and stared at the family portrait inside.

Wu Fei followed and walked to her side: "This... is Mingyu, right?"

In the photo she mentioned, Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan are standing in front, Su Mingzhe and Su Mingcheng are standing behind with their shoulders crossed, and next to them is Su Mingyu who deliberately leans out and does not look forward, and she is carrying a bag. As if he was about to leave at any time.

"That's right."

"Her standing posture is quite strange, and her eyebrows and eyes have given people a feeling of being very powerful and difficult to get along with since she was a child."

Su Mingzhe nodded: "You said it like this...it's true, this look... looks more powerful than my mother."

Wu Fei said: "By the way, should you call her and ask her if there is anything she particularly wants to keep, so we can help her find it."

"Okay, I'll ask her."

Su Mingzhe picked up the phone and was about to dial Su Mingyu's number, when a strange sound came from behind him.

The two looked back, and it turned out that Xiao Mi stepped on the chair and climbed onto the table next to the bed, and knocked down a dowry decorated with flowers and moon patterns.

Seeing the two of them turning their heads back with accusations on their faces, Xiaomi realized that she had done something wrong, her eyes turned red, and she burst into tears.

"do not Cry."

Wu Fei yelled at her, went over and carried her off the table: "How dare you climb higher, you child, you forgot what happened the day before yesterday so quickly."

After speaking, he patted her butt twice as a warning.

This little girl is also a fine person, she hugged Wu Fei's neck with her two small hands, buried her head in her mother's chest and sobbed softly, is the adult still willing to spank now?

"This is the box my mother used to put jewelry and cosmetics in. I heard it was a dowry my grandmother bought for her when she got married."

Su Mingzhe picked up the dowry and put it on the table.

Wu Fei said, "It looks like it's aged."

Xiao Mi dropped the dowry on the ground. Su Mingzhe was worried about the contents, so he opened the cover to check. At this moment, he found an abnormality. The inside of the cover was sealed with a layer of leather, which had aged and cracked due to a long period of time. When Xiao Mi threw it, a big part was cut off, revealing a line of withered yellow.

He took it out and looked at it, his face changed.

Wu Fei noticed the change in his expression, and leaned over with Xiao Mi in her arms.

It was a photo, the surface was yellowed, and it looked like it had aged.

The protagonist of the photo is a group of medical staff. There are three rows of female nurses in total. There are a few men sitting in the middle of the front row, both old and young. They should be doctors in the hospital.

"Is this mom?"

Wu Fei pointed to the tall, thin and pretty woman on the far left in the row behind and asked.

Su Mingzhe didn't speak.

Wu Fei was puzzled, followed his gaze, and found that her husband's focus was on the second from the right among the men in the front row.

"This person... looks like you."

She looked at the photos, and then at Su Mingzhe, convinced that her judgment was correct.

The male doctor in the photo is very similar to Su Mingzhe when he was young.

"February 1978... February 1978..."

Su Mingzhe gently stroked the lower right corner of the photo with his hand, where there was a stamp recording the date of shooting.

Wu Fei remembered what Su Mingcheng said on New Year's Eve, and then looked at the person in the photo, thinking that this could be Su Mingzhe's biological father. If he used this photo as a clue to find his relatives, would he be able to find that person? Woolen cloth?

Also, is this person the same person as the doctor in Shanghai?

If they are the same person and Su Mingzhe is really his son, what about Su Mingcheng? Who is Su Mingcheng's biological father?

"Mingzhe, could this be..."

Su Mingzhe glanced at her, did not answer this question, but silently put away the photos.

Xiao Mi looked at her thoughtful father, then at her melancholy mother, unable to understand what the two were talking about.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

"Xiao Mi is hungry, will mom take you to eat Yangchun noodles?"

"good."

Xiaomi agrees crisply.

Su Mingzhe scratched her little nose, said "Let's go", turned around and walked outside.

Wu Fei pointed to the closest family photo in the frame and said, "Don't you want to take this photo with you?"

Su Mingzhe paused for a moment, shook his head, and walked out of the bedroom quickly without saying anything.

Wu Fei took another careful look at Su Mingyu in the photo, hugged Xiaomi up, and followed him to leave the old house.

...

The next evening.

Su Mingzhe walked into the community carrying a duck.

He originally planned to go to see Su Daqiang and ask if the person in the photo was the Shanghai doctor that Zhao Meilan liked, but when he got out of the taxi, he flinched when he saw the signboard of the Nursing Home in Mudu Town.

Not to mention that Su Daqiang suffers from Alzheimer's disease, and his condition is good and bad, so he may not be able to respond to his questions. Even if the old guy is very sober, he is willing to answer his questions. What about afterward? Could it be that he went to Shanghai to find his own father? Then I told a person whose grandson can make soy sauce that I am your own son, and asked him why he didn't take me away back then? Why not carry the pressure from grandma and the street and elope with Zhao Meilan?

Now, what's the point of knowing the truth? There will be no change to the status quo, and it will only increase troubles.

So he turned around and came back again. The only difference from when he went was that he passed by a duck shop and saw that the freshly cooked duck was good, so he bought one back.

ding~

The elevator door opened, he walked in with his things, and pressed the button leading to the tenth floor.

Now the house in Nanshan Lishe is written with Wu Fei’s name. During the Chinese New Year, he intends to live in it for Su Mingyu and Su Daqiang. If they don't live, they don't agree to remarry, he can only give up this filial piety.

On New Year's Eve, Su Mingcheng exposed Su Daqiang's background, so it was even more impossible for Wu Fei to give the Su family a chance to live in.

ding~

There was another soft bang, and the elevator came to the 10th floor. He took out the key and opened the door. Just as he was about to call Wu Fei over to get something, he suddenly heard Xiao Mi's cry from the bedroom.

"Why are you crying?"

Wu Fei replied, "I'm choking on milk."

"Why are you so careless." Su Mingzhe put the duck on the dining table, turned his head to look at the bedroom, and went straight to the bathroom when he thought it was nothing serious.

He came back without entering the nursing home to see Su Daqiang. It can be said that he held back all the way. Now that he came home, the first thing he did was to drain the water.

"Mingzhe, why did you come back so soon?"

Wu Fei asked a question and didn't get a response, so she turned her head away, and found that Su Mingzhe was not in the living room, and listened for a while, as if she sensed some movement in the bathroom, her expression changed suddenly, and she didn't care about Xiaomi, she got up and went out .

When she came to the living room, Su Mingzhe also finished running the water and walked out of the bathroom, but he didn't come out empty-handed. There was a piece of test paper between the thumb and ten fingers of his right hand, which can also be called a pregnancy test stick.

"Feifei, I found this inside just now, you... have it?"

The evidence for his saying this is that there are two very eye-catching red spots on the display area of ​​the pregnancy test stick.

"..."

Wu Fei's complexion changed several times, and she thought that she was really afraid of something. Counting the days, it has been almost 2 months without a period. She was not sure about her situation, so she went to the pharmacy downstairs to buy a box of early pregnancy test strips after Su Mingzhe left, and went home for a test. Just when she was sure that she was pregnant. , Xiao Mi, who was playing in the bedroom, burst into tears. She was startled, and put the things out to check.

Who would have thought that Su Mingzhe came back at this juncture, and went to the bathroom to drain the water as soon as she entered the door. She came out in a hurry just to see if there was any remedy. It would be best to divert Su Mingzhe's attention and not find it on the sink The pregnancy test stick, but...it was too late.

Su Mingzhe didn't pay attention to Wu Fei's facial expression, he was very happy, he picked up Xiaomi and rubbed her face with stubble.

"Xiao Mi is going to be an older sister. Will Mom and Dad give birth to a younger brother for you? From now on, you will play and go to school together."

Living in the United States, the pressure of raising children is naturally not as great as in China. It is very common for a couple to have two or three children. The two had planned to have a second child before, but they did not expect this day to come so soon.

"Okay, okay." The little girl clapped her hands and applauded.

Wu Fei looked at the father and daughter who were happily celebrating the addition of a small family, and didn't know what to do.

This child belongs to Su Mingzhe, right?

probably.

Well, it should be... no problem.

She kept comforting herself in her heart, because that guy Su Mingcheng... didn't use safety measures that night, but she bought contraceptive pills the next day, and the two of them fell asleep the night Su Mingzhe successfully proposed remarriage, and they didn't do the same. Safety measures, now that she finds out that she is pregnant, unless the contraceptive pills are counterfeit, 99% of the child is Su Mingzhe's.

"Feifei, are you unhappy?"

Su Mingzhe was beautiful for a while, then turned to see Wu Fei's absent-minded look, and couldn't help asking.

"ah?"

Wu Feiqiang smiled and said, "No, I just think this kid... came too soon."

"Hurry up, I think it's just right." Su Mingzhe said, "Don't you think this is a remarriage gift from God? He came just after receiving the certificate."

He touched Wu Fei Shangping's lower abdomen and said, "This must be a son."

Wu Fei said, "What if it's a daughter?"

Su Mingzhe half-jokingly said: "Then we can save a lot of money on clothes in the future."
