Chapter 236 Warm Tears
Old Tang was apologetic. If he had recognized him earlier, today's events would not have happened. After seeing Yang Yichen, the anger in his heart turned into a strong sense of caring for the elders.
When Yang Yichen met Lao Tang, he was not in a very good mood, nor did he know what kind of mood he should have. Although he knew that there was no simple person who could live in Yanjing in Siheyuan, he still didn't believe in his life experience in his heart. He felt it was too incredible, and it was difficult to have a real understanding. It was difficult to have a big fluctuation in his emotions. It was fake to say that he had no expectations, but it was not entirely true to expect it. It had to be said that because of Lao Tang's stubbornness, the opportunity he chose to meet was not very good.
"Child, blame me."
The self-blame without hesitation won Yang Yichen's favor and quickly bowed. He didn't know what to call him, nor did he know how close the relationship between the old man and him was. He just vaguely felt that the mainland family that his mother had always been taboo about talking about seemed to be lifting the veil of mystery.
When he entered the house and sat opposite him, the old man prepared tea, fruits, pastries, snacks, and even prepared a simple coffee maker aside. He could feel that the coffee maker was purely prepared for Yang Yichen.
"I'll do it."
Yang Yichen fiddled with the tea set, and in the sound of hot water boiling, the tea-making behavior was used to make tea to resolve the unfamiliar embarrassment of the two. As Yang Yichen handed the tea cup to the old man, the old man took a table framed with a photo frame from the side, and there was a black and white photo embedded in it. There was a family. Three middle-aged men and one woman sat upright in front of him, one of them was obviously much younger. It was not much older than the two young men standing behind him. Yang Yichen almost instantly locked his eyes on the young woman standing behind him. Although the photos were a little blurry, he could still clearly see the face that was 90% similar to him. If it weren't for the femininity of a woman, it would be no problem to say that these two people could use makeup to dress each other as each other.
In addition to this woman, the man standing beside her, a middle-aged couple who were competing in front of her, could find some similarities in terms of appearance, while the other middle-aged man could vaguely see the old man in front of him.
"You should be able to see that you look so much like Xiaoyu. Anyone who sees you will connect you together at first sight." Old Tang took a sip of tea and looked at the photo sideways, feeling a little sad. The eldest brother's family is now separated by yin and yang, and fortunately, there is such a single seedling in front of him.
"Commander Tang, is this why my movies can receive special care in the Southwest Military Region?" Yang Yichen had seen some public information of the leader at that time in the Southwest Military Region, and also remembered this old man who left a strong mark in the history of Chinese military construction. It can be said that after the disaster, all the military training reforms and military training plans after the reconstruction of the Chinese military were all from the old man. He even went abroad to study several times and learned from foreign countries and returned to China for reform. He was called one of the founders of modern military construction.
Old Tang did not worry about this issue, but lit a cigarette, took another sip of tea, and said slowly: "My name is Tang Shengwu. This is my elder brother and sister-in-law, and behind it is my nephew and nieces. Yes, they are your grandparents and grandparents, mother and uncle. Your grandparents are both academics and have achieved outstanding results in their respective fields. Before that disaster, they were very famous at home and abroad. Your uncle Tang Xiaoyong likes to dance with swords and guns, and followed me into the army very early. Your mother Tang Xiaoyu inherited the excellent genes of your grandparents and showed extraordinary talents at a very young age. If it weren't for that protracted disaster..."
Speaking of this, tears flashed in the old man's eyes, his voice was choked, and it was difficult for the tough guy to calmly face the most painful memories. He has depended on his elder brother since he was a child and was much older than him, and he raised another child. Time flies and things have changed. Now, if you want to see your elder brother and sister-in-law, you can only sleep. If you want to see your nephew and nieces who were shouting behind your butt, you can only lift the scars of your memory and pull out the painful past. Every time you recall it, it is like a knife cutting it in your heart.
Yang Yichen could understand that era, which was an era that could not be recalled, with too many helplessness.
"Your grandma passed away, uncle died on the battlefield, my mother was still young, and I worked in the southwest again. Your mother was lonely and helpless, and needed to bear the pressure that she could not bear at all times. At that time, your mother disappeared after a fire, and finally reported it to me according to death. In that era, you also knew that this kind of thing was very ordinary, so I didn't study it in depth. Who knew that your mother chose to go south like many young people after leaving, and chose to go to the prosperous and free Xiangjiang. What happened later, basically you also knew that she slowly adapted to life there, and people were growing up. When they met your father, they fell in love, and then they had you..."
The things that followed were very ordinary, without any ups and downs. Even in Yang Yichen's vague memories, there were only a little image of his parents without more memories. This dullness made him never think that his life experience could be so bizarre. He thought that following his uncle wandered around the world was different from that of ordinary children, but he did not expect that he had such a young grandfather, a relative who was promoted to three stars when he retired.
"I was injured when I was young and could not get married and have children. Over the years, I have devoted all my thoughts to work, and all my relatives are gone. Suddenly I saw you on TV, I couldn't believe my eyes, and I immediately started investigating you. I learned that Xiao Qingwu was a classmate with you when she was working below. At that time, she happened to be by my side and accompanied me abroad for further study and as a duty as half of the bodyguard. I and her grandfather have been friends with her for many years, so I thought to ask her to help. I didn't expect that between you... I blame me for being too anxious. I'm sorry Xiao Qingwu."
Yang Yichen uh uh, he couldn't make himself used to calling the other person in a state of intimacy, uh omitted the title: "This matter has nothing to do with you. There are no external factors between us, whether we succeed or not."
Old Tang nodded. The matter of young people is not the focus of tonight. It can be seen that in terms of emotions, these two children are not ordinary people. They have their own unique way of dealing with emotions. It is difficult for others to interfere. It seems that they don’t have to blame themselves in this regard.
"At that time, I really wanted to go to you directly, but later I chose to give up temporarily. I claimed to be clean and clean, I was not familiar with you, and I was still a little proud of the little power I had. I wanted to retreat and meet you before meeting you..."
Lao Tang was not a hesitant person, but tonight, he couldn't speak several times, and felt a strong apology began to emerge in his heart again. Not only did he treat Yang Yichen, but more importantly, he saw the photo of his elder brother's family, and the niece who was once the most attached to him. When he thought of the child she died early, he felt even more and more guilty.
"I admire you very much. Really, when I was shooting a movie in the Southwest Military Region, I have heard a lot of rumors about you. I was very interested and went to find your public information to read it. I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to be related to you, but I can't deny the relationship between blood and close relatives. But you, like me, need time to get familiar with each other and accept each other. However, I, a young man, will take advantage of you. In the future, we will have a home in Yanjing."
Yang Yichen's words directly caused the tears of Lao Tang's iron-blooded tough guy to say. For nothing else, just for the last words of this child, there is also a home in Yanjing. For him who has lived alone for decades, he had a busy job before retirement. Although he had also had a consultant job after retirement, he was far from busy as he used to be. Whenever he faced the courtyard alone, he had a special loneliness. With the increase of retirement time, this loneliness became heavier and he would go to his old station friends to drink some wine and play chess. He thought it was a retirement life, but he stopped going over. He felt that it was disturbing other people's lives, especially when he saw other people's children and grandchildren, he felt even more sad. Now there is a close relative who is still far from talking to himself in respect, but the saying that I also have a home deeply touched his heart.
