PART27 Dusty memories

Life is like a TV series, rich and exciting. Life is not like a TV series. There are not so many set plots, but only one unknown and accident after another...

--"Inscription"

Sometimes, the more you look forward to something, the more you will fetch water from a bamboo basket.

But what you didn't expect came as promised...

…

Guangdong 12:35am.

"An Qi, hasn't your admission notice arrived yet?" My father rarely remembered to care about me during dinner.

"...No." I picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.

"Then you are still so leisurely?! Why don't you call the school to urge me?! Or ask EMS?!" Dad's voice soared.

"...If the time has not come, urging is in vain." I replied lazily.

"Should you go to college or me?! Can't you worry more about your own affairs?! Have people to remind you all day long?!" Dad got angry inexplicably.

"...Oh." I said casually.

You old man likes to worry and worry, can I stop you?

"..." The atmosphere suddenly froze.

"I'm too lazy to care about you! It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry to kill the eunuch!" Dad blurted out.

"..." I am speechless. Why are you so anxious to scold yourself...

He knows very well that this is my own business. I should just take it easy and worry less...

"I'll tell you when the time comes..." It's better to withdraw.

"...Wait a minute!" I was stopped.

"..." I stood there, rolling my eyes silently, waiting for him to continue.

"It's 5 o'clock this afternoon, the college entrance banquet. Go with your mother, don't be late! You are the protagonist, did you hear that?!"

"...Oh." I turned around and went back to the room nonchalantly.

"I said wait a minute -" someone simply didn't finish,

"Why are you so anxious?! I can't live without your phone for a moment, right?!"

"...Then please finish it in one breath, okay?" I couldn't bear it.

"Let's discuss who to invite. Lao Zhu's family will definitely want it, and Xiaogang's family of six, customers..." Dad looked like he couldn't resist.

"...You can do whatever you want." I said casually.

"Then you have no objection? No one wants to invite me?" Dad even asked me,

"...Where are your classmates? Where are your friends?"

"...No. They all live thousands of miles away and don't have enough time." I said casually.

When the time comes, I’ll post a few photos to the group to make them jealous and jealous＾0＾~

"Think again -" my father urged me, "it should be at least two floors, so there are not too many people."

"...Where are the grandparents?" I suddenly thought of something.

"..." Dad was stunned, "They are at home, forget it."

"...Then there is a knitting party. The people I most want to invite can't come, and the entrance banquet is meaningless." I murmured in a low voice.

There is no tradition in Guangdong to hold a college entrance banquet, but there is one in my hometown. If my grandfather hadn't insisted on holding one, I wouldn't have bothered to do it.

But those who insist on doing it have no time at all. Summer vacation is no better than Chinese New Year, and there are simply not enough people to get together...

Then my dad decided to set up business in Guangdong and invite some friends and clients. Well, after all, it’s not just the people he is familiar with, I don’t know many of them...

The entrance banquet... is simply a joke.

"...You can figure it out." I ran out of patience and left.

Although the door was closed, the sound insulation effect was extremely poor. I did not miss the conversation between the two people in the living room——

"...Who owes her money? I've been showing off my face all day long, and I don't know who I learned this from." (-ι_-) I can almost imagine the displeased expression on my father's face.

"Okay...you are so grown up, and you still lose your temper with a child." My mother couldn't help complaining.

"That's what you're used to...just because you left her in your hometown for a few years, you're so proud of her and don't take me seriously!" Dad became more and more angry.

"That's almost it... If you are really proud of your favor, I won't listen to you." My mother said calmly.

"Besides, after such a long time, it's interesting to bring it up if you still have nothing to worry about?"

"Haha, if you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten. She didn't even kiss you when she was a child. Why, her motherly love started to overflow?" Dad must have been drinking, and he was holding back a lot of words in his heart -

"Did you forget what she called you on the first day you were brought back to Guangdong?"

"...Shut up." Mom started to get angry.

"'Auntie'... Oh, 'Auntie'. In her eyes, you are just a stranger!" Dad said without hesitation.

"..." Mom was silent for a while, then slowly spoke——

"How good do you think you can be?"

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Dad groaned.

"...I remember that no one has come back to live in their house for a long time, right? But why did I hear your mother say that their family built a new house a month ago?" My mother said lightly.

"...Whose family? I can't understand what nonsense you are talking about." Dad slapped the table inexplicably.

"Stop pretending to be stupid..." Mom said reluctantly, "How can I hold a college entrance banquet in advance? I also told your mother to go back and make up for it during the New Year - what? Are you afraid of meeting old acquaintances?"

"..." What's going on? I was confused when I heard it.

"What do you know..." Dad's tone started to change.

"I don't know what you think about Xiao Jiujiu?" My mother said in a very disdainful tone.

"Has he... called you?"

"..." Dad was silent.

"He asked you to borrow money?" Mom said in a very confused tone, "That shouldn't be the case. Hasn't he been doing well in the past few years? He still remembers to build a new house for his mother-in-law, so he shouldn't be short of money."

"..." Dad remained silent.

"Just say something..." his mother urged him.

"..." Dad took a long time before finally uttering a few words, "He passed away."

"!!!" Mom was startled - "When?! Why is it so sudden?!"

"...In May, I suffered a myocardial infarction and rescue efforts failed." Dad said in a low tone.

"..." My mother also remained silent for a long time, "It was Xiao...his son who told you, right?"

"...Of course the funeral was held abroad, and his surname is not Zhu. Maybe he wants to go back to Hubei to hold it," Dad said word by word.

"It's just that his... son, that boy, I didn't expect that he has grown so tall and is even more handsome than when he was a child."

"His...which son?" Mom asked hesitantly.

"...It's who you think it is." Dad replied calmly.

"...Then he didn't ask anything, did he?" Mom's tone was obviously nervous.

"...I have already said hello to my mother, so why worry about it?" My father teased my mother.

"I'm not worried..." Mom said angrily, "So you're afraid that your daughter will inevitably run into him when she goes back, so why don't you do it at home?"

"...You are overthinking it. After he held his father's funeral, he spent a lot of money on his parents' family, building a new house and adding furniture. He wanted it to be as grand and grand as possible." Dad said in a disdainful tone.

"I am a truly rich second generation. How can I still remember a small role like your daughter?"

"...the two of them grew up together. They can be considered childhood sweethearts after all, right?" Mom replied to Dad,

"What's wrong with the second generation of rich people?! Also, why is my daughter playing a small role?! Have you ever said that about your own daughter?!"

"...Okay, okay, I can't help you, I'll wash the dishes." Dad was about to leave.

"...Besides, as long as the two of them live in the world, there is no guarantee that they will not meet again. You can stop it once, but you can't stop it for a lifetime. If this happens now, you will clean up the mess yourself! I don't care.

You!" My mother said harshly.

"..." The living room fell completely silent.

"..." What the hell? I didn't understand the whole process...

However, I just heard that someone passed away. Who was it...

Why is it related to me... creepy.

←_←As expected, you can’t just eavesdrop on what adults are saying...

But...I don't want to go to that college entrance party at all. I have to go out in the scorching sun, and I don't know anyone yet.

From my point of view, P's college entrance party was just a party for dad's friends.
