Chapter 8 The third last rose (1)

Fang Taichu is not an old pedant, such a majestic name is easy to cause misunderstanding. In fact, Taichu was a girl, and she was a beautiful girl. When I met her, she was seventeen years old, a freshman in college, and a classmate of mine. She has a baby name, Little Rose, huh, Little Rose is more suitable for her. Foreign students like to call her Rose, and she herself, how should I describe her, she herself is like a translucent flower that is just about to bloom. pink roses. In addition to being beautiful, she is a gentle and easy-going person, with a perfect personality, good homework, and willing to help others. The most important thing is that she is very sensible, does things in a neat manner, and has clear lines. her.

She was born in New York, but she didn't like New York.She said that she has the essence of a countryman and is not good at big cities, so I moved to San Jose, California with my father to study in college, and I got to know her. At the freshman meeting, I asked her for her name. She said: "I don't have an English name, but my Chinese name is Fang Taichu." "Oh, such a special name." She smiled, "In the beginning there was the Word, and the Word was with God—my grandfather was a Christian." She is so beautiful, but she has no arrogance at all, and I fell in love with her immediately.

I said, "My name is Zhou Tanghua, a fifth-year student in the Department of Architecture." She turned her head, "My uncle is also an architect and has a company in Hong Kong." "Architects in Hong Kong are very rich," I said. She laughed haha, "You men just want to get rich." Her expression was delicate and carefree. She was wearing a pair of fuchsia leather jeans, a colorful sweater knitted with velvet, the most popular kind of clothing in college nowadays, and she didn't have any makeup on her face. His long hair at the beginning was tied behind his head, and he tied it casually with rubber bands. He had an indescribably good temperament. He was a 100% artist, and he was indeed a top student in the art department.

She dates a lot of boyfriends, but her private life is not indiscriminate. Boys not only like her, but also respect her, which is the most important thing. The weather in San Jose is good, suitable for going out to sketch. I have a seven-handed old car that is rumbling, and I ask her out for a ride when I have time. She might not be available, and I'd have to wait in line for her time, but who cares, it's worth the wait. I told her that New York is a great place to develop art. She corrected me: "New York is a great place for artists to make a name for themselves." Then she said: "Some people like to be famous, some people don't."

She is still so young, but she speaks clearly.Many beautiful women live in a cloud of mist, thinking that if they have better eyes and noses, they will be able to go anywhere for a lifetime. Fang Taichu is very shrewd, she takes care of her life well, so after getting acquainted with her a little, you will feel that she looks like a rose on the outside, but like a tree on the inside. The original painting was pre-Raphaelite, not very stylized, the technique was first-class, but after the invention of color photography, such painting was worthless. She said: "My personal enjoyment, I like this kind of painting."

At the beginning, I didn't intend to pursue her. It would be a waste of time to compete with other boys. My homework is so intense, it is really impossible to do this kind of thing—— The Department of Architecture accepted more than a hundred students in the first year, and only a dozen of them graduated directly in six years.What's so good about living in a foreign land for a long time, I want to go home. It was she who approached me first, and gradually I often met her in libraries and beer halls. In the early days, I always left other people to chat with me, no matter how stupid I was, I knew what was going on, and I couldn't help being flattered, moved, and fell in love with her easily.

Believe me, falling in love with the beginning is not too difficult. There are many factors for a person to fall in love with another person. Taichu has many advantages. She even seldom used the petty temper of ordinary girls. A little bit of petty temper, like a baby, seldom made me down. Maybe it's because of San Jose. In a simple and simple place, people also become simple and simple. Our relationship has progressed smoothly and happily.This kind of love is simply enjoyment, I don't know if I envy others, but in my life, I have never been in such a happy mood like this moment. In the beginning it was so cute.

We went camping in Yellowstone Park on Easter and had a great week.This guy, she is good at writing, and she can also do martial arts. We lighted a fire in the middle of nowhere, made coffee and scrambled eggs, bathed and washed our hair in cold stream water, and lay in our sleeping bags at night looking up at the stars in the sky. The gods are not as happy as us, what good are the gods? At the beginning, I seldom talked about her family. I have known her for nearly a year, and I know that her parents have divorced, and she lives with her father.Mr. Fang (actually not too old, forty-eight years old) is not in a good financial situation. He has worked in a bank for more than 20 years and has not seen a promotion, but he has not resigned. I have a feeling of poverty, I have had dinner with him twice, he likes to drink, what kind of good wine can ordinary people in the United States drink?Old holding a bottle of Samsung brandy.The suit on his body was wrinkled and the tie was crooked. It was obvious at a glance that he had given up and was listless.

For the sake of the beginning, I was gentle with him. In the beginning, she loved her father and tolerated her father. The only hope for Mr. Fang is Taichu.The two depend on each other for life, and I am afraid that it will be a long time. I asked Taichu, "Why did your mother leave him?" "She thinks he is poor." Tai Chu said angrily. I'm afraid it's not that simple, I smile.Most husbands like Fang Xiewen are willing to believe that their wives left him because he was poor. Because greed for vanity is the biggest problem of women, and he won't be sympathized with by the world, so he won.

I didn't make a sound, I loved her father in the beginning, and I, I have to love the house and the black. On Taichu's eighteenth birthday, I gave her the gold watch my father gave me. She refused to accept it, saying it was too expensive, and I kept it as a souvenir. I said: "I can also afford other gifts, such as brooches, necklaces, rings, etc., but things that can be bought on the street are too rash. If you refuse to accept this gold watch, then I will be very sad." gone." She immediately tied the gold watch around her waist, and I think we both have a sign of "a big deal has been decided".

Tai Chu said: "Come, help me to the post office and return this package." "What package? Such a big package." She doesn't ring. I read the sender's name and address while looking at the parcel paper: "Yellow Rose, No. 3 Luoyang Road, Hong Kong." I asked, "Who?" Did not answer in the beginning. "Why do you want to go back?" In the beginning it didn't ring. "Am I your boyfriend?" I asked with a smile, "Hey, Fang Taichu, talk." She sighed and said softly, "This person is my mother." "Your mother? Yellow Rose? Oh, I see, so your name is Little Rose! Is that why?" Tai Chu picked up the package. "Aren't you curious at all?" I asked, "Open it and have a look." "Dad told me to go back immediately," she said. "It's not Pandora's box," I said, "since it's from your mother, at least open it and have a look." "I don't know how many things she sent in the past ten years, and my father asked me to return them. I have never seen them." "It's up to you. The grievances of the previous generation should not be left to the next generation." I held up the package for her. She hesitated. "Alright," she said, "you can take it apart for me." I hurriedly opened it, and inside the box was a long white gauze dress. I shook it open and saw that both of them were stunned. Taichu sighed: "clothes can do this, it is simply a work of art." There is also a pair of pink satin shoes in the box. "Is that your number?" I asked. "No. 5, exactly, how did she know?" "Look, here's another letter for you." Taichu couldn't bear it, and when he opened it, it was a beautiful birthday card with densely written words inside. Taichu read silently while reading, I sat and observed her expression, there was a lot written on this card, her eyes gradually turned red, finally she put down the letter, leaned her head on the back of the chair, and stared blankly. Looking at the ceiling. She whispered, "Brother Tang, let me try on that dress." I handed the skirt to her. She went to the room and changed clothes and came out. I made a "wow".She suddenly looked like a Lingbo fairy, the gauze was soft, with a slender waist, low cut, a series of wrinkles at the neckline, and a little white sesame spot on the translucent material. "It's so beautiful." I exclaimed. She stepped on her high heels and turned around, "Where can I wear such a beautiful dress? You don't have to dress up like this when you go to the White House for dinner." "Your mother loves you very much," I said. She lifted her skirt and sat on the chair, "If you buy a beautiful skirt and send it, you will love me? Where has she been in the past ten years?" "I love this dress, let's fly to New York for dinner, don't waste this dress." Tai Chu laughed, "Don't worry about it," she said, "I'll take it off and send it back." I look at the brand on the dress: Nina Liz. "Your mother is rich?" "Not necessarily," Tai Chu said, "My grandfather is not a ship king. Dad said that she is vain and spends her whole life on eating, drinking and having fun." I spread my hands, "Then why did he marry her? Was he cheated by her?" Taichu folded the clothes and put them back in the box, saying, "Stop mocking us." I said, "How long has she been married to your father?" "Ten years. From twenty-one to thirty." "A woman's best life," I said, "even if your father was cheated, it's worth it. I'm sure your mother was a beautiful woman because you don't look like your father." At the beginning, I was very annoyed, "You, like everyone else, don't like my dad." "In the beginning, after all, it was a matter of the previous generation. If I were you, I should write a reply letter for the sake of politeness." She doesn't ring. "You don't know anything about her, but you just got the information from your father. I think divorce is a matter for both parties. Two people are needed to dance tango. It's not like you don't know about it." Taichu said: "An upright official cannot judge such a thing." "She's still your mother," I said. Taichu was angry, "You, you have to take care of other people's family affairs." "She?" I didn't think so, "This is not her, she will be my mother-in-law in the future." "Mother-in-law? Who promised to marry you?" She smiled, "Let's go, the post office is closed in the afternoon." "Yes, follow orders, I can be promoted, the Guanyin soldier is now promoted to General Guanyin." "You are so wordy." She pushed me. We got engaged right after graduation. On the day I proposed to Taichu, she asked me, "Have you thought it through? There are many beautiful girls out there who are willing to wear your ring." "Have you thought it through?" I asked, "With a girl as beautiful as you—" "Oh, nonsense," she said with a smile, "I already knew what was out there." "Oh, I'm the best one in the dump?" I challenged her. She sighed, "I don't know, but I'm already old, how long will I stay if I don't get married?" "In the beginning," I shook my head, "I really admire you, I can't even talk enough for you." She stared at me, "You'll take care of me and love me, won't you?" "If I didn't intend to do that, why would I ask you to marry me?" "It's true," she smiled, "the old birthday star didn't have to look for arsenic to eat." "Will your parents like me?" She asked again suddenly. "No, no, they will treat you like a vicious queen treats Snow White. If you are afraid, you might as well not marry." "If I hope to get some comfort from you, it's just wishful thinking." She gave me a blank look. Parents naturally like Taichu. Their letters expressed infinite joy, and they were very surprised by the beauty at the beginning. They wrote: "What-our future daughter-in-law looks better than the most beautiful female star. How can there be such a beautiful girl? Photos of ordinary life are still so prominent, real people must be more beautiful..." Tai Chu looked at the letter and smiled, "When they meet real people, they must be greatly disappointed." I looked at Taichu, "Chinese people are very strange. Their aesthetic vision is based on Western standards. Those with big eyes, small mouth, high nose, white skin are considered beautiful. You meet these standards, but who doesn't have such conditions for foreign girls? So you have been buried all these years, go back to Hong Kong, and make sure there are people all over the street who strike up a conversation with you." "I'm not going back to Hong Kong," she laughed. "Papa said that place is the worst." The common sense Master Yuezhang instilled in his daughter is really amazing, amazing prejudice. I wanted to correct him, but I was afraid that I would be unhappy at the beginning—"You, like everyone else, don't like my father." So I kept my mouth shut. Hong Kong is a very lovely place, I will go back in the future, and it will not be too late to argue with Taichu about these things.She is a very innocent woman, easy to talk to. My parents fully agreed with our marriage, but my father was busy with business and couldn't come to our engagement, so he sent two round-trip air tickets and told us to go home once. At the beginning, she was very hesitant, because she had not yet graduated, the vacation was very short, and she was afraid that her father would not let her take this trip. I made it very clear that I will never do anything that displeases her, and if she doesn't go back, I won't go back either. She was touched, such a good girl. Mr. Fang held a cup of low-quality brandy, pondered for a while, and did not answer. Taichu looked earnestly at her father's frustrated face.To be honest, I was absolutely moved by Taichu, so I always admire him. If a man receives a lot of love from his daughter, he is not a simple father. He must have his merits. He said slowly: "Go with Tang Hua, you should be a member of his family, and naturally you have to listen to them, they will invite you back only because they love you." I am very happy. "Tang Hua," he said bitterly, "you have to take good care of my daughter." "Dad," Taichu said, "what are you talking about? We'll be back in two weeks, so I don't want to leave you." She went over and put her arms around her father's shoulders. Old Fang's eyes were moist, and he said, "Yes, I really have a good daughter." Tai Chu said: "Dad, Brother Tang said that if I don't go back to Hong Kong, he won't go back either." "Oh," Master Yuezhang said again, "I also have a good son-in-law." Taichu said, "Dad, take good care of yourself." "I know, I'm not a child." He stroked Taichu's long hair, "Be careful yourself, look at Tang Hua's face before you speak, Hong Kong is no better than San Jose, people will take offense if you are too straightforward." "Yes, Dad." I apologized with a good temper.Mr. Fang is probably a loser who achieves nothing. It is good to fail completely, but he succeeded once again and married an extraordinary wife, and she left him after spending ten years with him, making his future life difficult. Live like a zombie. Poor man. But even so, he was not selfish enough to deny his daughter freedom, and I am very grateful to him. After we obtained his consent, a big stone was put down in our hearts, and there was a new understanding between me and him. "Dad," I said, "you have to take care of yourself, too." He smiled and said, "Tang Hua, it's fine, you're fine." Taichu told me later: When she saw her father's downcast appearance, she couldn't help hating her mother. As their daughter, she was right to say that.But a woman can't spend the rest of her life with that man because she is pitiful. If she pity him, who pity her? At the beginning, she would not understand this point. For her, Fang Xiewen is still her beloved father no matter how degraded she is.I love Taichu, and I also love her infatuation. At the beginning, there was a small scar under the corner of her left eye, which was the only flaw on her entire face, like a pockmark.When talking to her, I used to point to the white spot. "It used to be a mole," she said. "It used to be a mole? Why is it gone now?" I asked in surprise. "Dad said it was a mole of tears. Mole of tears is not a good sign, so I asked a doctor to remove it." Really superstitious. I said, "If it was a mole, many people would be amazed." I stuck out my tongue, "It's a good thing it got rid of it." Tai Chu said: "Your true face has been exposed more and more after the engagement. I really don't know whether I should marry you." "You won't find a better man than me, and I'm loyal to you." I retorted immediately. When we returned to Hong Kong, my mother smiled when she saw Tai Chu, "The real person is prettier than the photos." She said repeatedly.It is said that old people like beautiful daughter-in-laws.Sure enough, Taichu was embarrassed by the praise and just smiled beamingly. We lived in our parents' house, and we really cooperated in the beginning. We got up early every morning, helped my mother with the housework, and went shopping with her.My mother has been used to going to the vegetable market for many years, and she was very interested in the muddy market in the early days. My mother found a good companion for no reason, and she was very happy. My father said to his relatives: "This girl is so perfect that she can't find any faults. She has good looks, but she has a kind and gentle personality. We are really lucky." Tempered woman, out of control, so I am most afraid of her. As expected, she didn't like Hong Kong.She came here once when she was very young, but she has no memory.Now that the old place has reappeared, the place is small and crowded, and it feels like a mess.The Cantonese teahouse at noon on Sundays particularly puzzled her—"so many people crowded there to pay money and wait for food." She laughed. I took good care of her, she was as innocent and straightforward as a child, and my mother treated her like a jewel, so she had a very happy holiday these days and ate a lot. I threatened her and told her to be careful not to become a little fat. It was fine until one morning. At that time, Taichu accompanied my mother to the small vegetable market as usual, my father was in the company, and it was just me and the old servant at home. I was just waking up and feeding the goldfish when the phone rang. I will answer. There was a man's voice, slightly anxious but polite.He asked: "May I ask if there is a Miss Fang Taichu in the house?" Because my attitude was so nice, I replied, "Yes, she is my fiancee. What can I do with her? She's not at home right now." "Oh, you are Lord Zhou Tanghua?" "Yes," I wondered, "Which one?" "Forgive me for calling you by your name, Tang Hua, but I am Huang Zhenhua, Little Rose's uncle." "Oh, uncle." I was unexpectedly happy. "Uncle," he laughed haha, "good call." Huang Zhenhua said: "Tanghua, Little Rose is confused, and you are also confused with her? Su Yun sees her uncle like seeing her mother. It is a crime for you two to secretly get engaged and not tell us the Huang family. When you come to Hong Kong, you just walk through the door as if nothing happened. It's another crime," he laughed, "you still don't want to get out and meet your uncle?" He is so hearty, cheerful, straightforward, and has his own charm that I immediately apologized and said, "Uncle, this is really—" "Atone for your sins, why don't you write down my address and phone number? At eight o'clock tonight, I will come to the manor to pick up your father Lingtang to have a meal together. I ask them to give me the time. Please forgive me for the hasty notification. " "yes." "You kid—" He suddenly sighed. "I'm sorry, Uncle." I was a little panicked. "I understand your situation. Of course it wasn't your idea. Fang Xiewen naturally described the Huang family as heinous. Don't get close to strangers. You have been fascinated by them, so of course you are on their side. Tell you, there is no such thing. You don't look at the monk's face, you also look at the Buddha's face, see you tonight." "Yes." I said again. He put the phone on hold. Ah, this is the great uncle in the beginning?But listening to the voice, it's like seeing the person. He has a long-sleeved and skillful appearance, and his appearance is exquisite, which can handle everyone tightly and coax everyone comfortably.It is inevitable for such talents to live like ducks in water in Hong Kong.I look forward to seeing him in style. Back in the early days with my mother, I pulled her to a corner and told her about it. Tai Chu opened his mouth wide, "How did they know that I came to Hong Kong?" "Paper can't wrap fire," I squeezed my eyes, "If you want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself." Taichu said: "I won't go, I don't want to see the Huang family." She added: "You don't know that I have no relationship with my mother and her family. How did you agree to his invitation?" She was annoyed. I smiled wryly, "I don't know either, his voice has a kind of magical power, and I obediently said yes and yes." Taichu was angry and funny, "You, you are less useful than me." "Basically, I think it's absurd for a niece to turn against an uncle she hasn't met. Half of the Huang family's blood is flowing in your body. Since you can't avoid them, you might as well go and meet them." "I don't want to see my mother," she said softly.I sighed, "Stupid." "Tell Huang Zhenhua that I don't want to see my mother." She said stubbornly. "Okay, I'll tell him." I patted her on the shoulder. Taichu hugged me, "Oh, brother Tang, if you marry someone else, you won't have such embarrassment." "What kind of talk is this?" I murmured, "It's come to this point, where can I find someone else?" In the beginning, I broke my tears into laughter. I immediately dialed Huang Zhenhua Architectural Engineering Firm.I explained to him that I did not want to see my mother at the beginning. I said, "Psychologically, she has obstacles. It would be better for her to meet her uncle and aunt first." "That's right," Huang Zhenhua pondered for a while, "Okay, I will definitely do it. By the way, I heard that you also study architecture." "Yes." I answered. "Don't go back to the backcountry again, stay," he said earnestly, "we'll talk about it slowly, and see you tonight." I don't know why, but I was moved by him again. If someone said such vulgar words, I would be the first to be disgusted, but when I said it from his mouth, it tasted different. When I told my mother about the banquet tonight, she was very surprised, "The uncle in the beginning was Huang Zhenhua? This Huang is a famous person, even an old woman like me who stays at home knows it. He is a member of the two bureaus. An honorary trustee in a university." "Really?" I laughed, "Are you two always going to meet guests with makeup?" Huang Zhenhua's car arrived on time.The driver came up and rang the bell, and the four of us came downstairs, but we saw a handsome middle-aged man standing next to a black Bentley, and immediately came up to us. "Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou," he shook my father's hand tightly, "this must be Tang Hua—" He greeted me again. He pulled out the primordial self from behind, "Little Rose, have you forgotten Uncle?" He hugged her in his arms. A series of big moves made our eyes dazzled.This person, I think, if he has the opportunity to be in the Grand View Garden, he will be another Wang Xifeng. After finishing the perfunctory manners, we got into the car. Firstly, a lady in her forties sat in the car. This must be Mrs. Huang, I applaud, compared to her, Huang Zhenhua has become a businessman covered in oily clothes. She seemed to know what I was thinking, and looked at me with a pair of eyes smiling, and I blushed immediately. In the beginning was close to me, holding my hand. Along the way, Huang Zhenhua poured out his compliments like a torrent of compliments. I was stunned to hear that, and I looked at Tai Chu in blank dismay, but it was obvious that the two elders in our family really hated Huang Zhenhua for seeing each other too late. Very speculative. I sneaked a look at Mrs. Huang, she winked at us mischievously, Tai Chu and I both laughed. Taichu said in my ear: "I like this aunt." I squeezed Tai Chu's hand to express comfort. The place for entertaining guests is resplendent and magnificent, and it is a good place to eat Chinese food. It was only at this time that I saw Huang Zhenhua's appearance clearly.He was very handsome, his hair was 70% white, but he looked majestic, and his body was well maintained, obviously the result of regular exercise.He is energetic and hospitable. He ordered a table of good food and kept talking to us about the subjects we were familiar with and liked. Places of interest, which brandy is the best, which record player is the most acoustic, the size of the yacht is the best size, and so on. Naturally, I admire him very much. Living in a society like ours, learning alone is useless, and being so lofty is unattainable. What good does it do for the public?Huang Zhenhua is the pillar of society. But his wife, huh, Mrs. Huang is really a romantic person, with long hair tied in a low bun, delicate diamond ornaments on her ears, appropriate makeup on her face, and a gentle and amiable attitude. She lightly served us vegetables, "Eat a little more stewed chicken with bamboo shoots, it tastes delicious." Or, "He's really noisy, don't pay attention to him, you just let you drink soup." "He" naturally refers to Huang Zhenhua. The food is really delicious, I have never had such good Chinese food.As for the wine, I never knew that there was such a fragrant brandy. I was quite reluctant to leave - I didn't want to go back to the backcountry of the small town in the United States.How nice it is to live in Hong Kong, in a place near the beach, for example, Shek O, to buy a white one-story house, live a quiet life, and go out to eat and drink with relatives and friends like Huang Zhenhua in your free time, wouldn't it be wonderful. In the end, Huang Zhenhua gave me a watch as a gift, and I put it on generously. At the beginning, she also drank a little wine, and her spirit was relatively relaxed. Her face was flushed, and her hair became more and more like a rose. Huang Zhenhua said: "It's really like my sister. Alas, my niece and daughter are all so old, it's just a blink of an eye." Mrs. Huang looked at Taichu, she said: "It looks like it, but..." She tilted her head, "It's not the same model, Taichu is herself." Very happy in the beginning. "But," Mrs. Huang pointed at the corner of Tai Chu's eyes, "where's your mole?" Taichu replied: "Because it is a mole of tears, it was removed." Mrs. Huang nodded thoughtfully. Walking to the door after the banquet, Huang Zhenhua met a friend. He said to others: "Do you remember Little Rose? Jiamin, you see, she has grown up so much and is engaged." The man named "Jia Min" was holding a child, and when he heard that he looked at Taichu, his eyes were fixed on Taichu and did not move. There are three or four children with pink makeup and jade decoration beside him, they are extremely cute.He said: "The servant asked for leave, so my wife and I had to take the children out for dinner. Zhenhua, please make an appointment for me, and our family will invite Little Rose." "Okay," Huang Zhenhua was half drunk and half excited, "Tang Hua, you have to arrange this, we are the original team." Mrs. Huang persuaded, "Don't stand at the door, let's get together another day." Huang Zhenhua hugged Taichu again, and finally let us go. I am very tired. Tai Chu smirked, "How could I have such an uncle?" I said, "Outstanding people in Hong Kong." "They are really rich, and they wear the best food and clothing. Just now, they spent 6,000 yuan on a meal! More than 1,000 dollars, it's almost my whole semester's expenses." Tai Chu was puzzled, "You can't be so rich in business." "Ignore them," I laughed. "Maybe your uncle just robbed a bank." "Do you still want to eat? I'm afraid my stomach won't be able to bear it." Tai Chu said, "I won't go to the next meal." I think this kind of banquet is quite interesting, and there is nothing wrong with adding some knowledge. I think the genetic factor of Hong Kong in my blood has already exploded. Tai Chu said: "Uncle is already like this, my mother is an unbearable character, she must be the kind of woman who keeps talking like a tape recorder when she opens her mouth but can't close it." "You don't appreciate Huang Zhenhua? I do." "Hey," said Tai Chu, "and his friend, staring at me as if I had horns growing out of my head." "You look pretty." "Too rude." "It's a shame to be polite. You can't have both." Taichu spat at me, "You and my uncle can almost sing cross talk together." "People remember you," I said, "Little Rose is really extraordinary." "I don't remember him," she said. "You don't want to see your mother?" I asked. "In no mood." "Really don't want to?" I asked. "It's disgusting, are you torturing me or something?" She asked me back. The next day, Huang Zhenhua asked me to go out for a detailed talk. In his office, he told me frankly that he hoped that I would stay, and that Taichu would also stay. I'm also very frank, I don't speak secretly in front of bright people.I said, "But Taichu's father was very lonely, but your place...is not too crowded." "How do you know that Little Rose's mother is not lonely?" Huang Zhenhua asked back. "I take it for granted." I said. "She misses Little Rose very much," Huang Zhenhua said. I thought to myself, I miss her so much, why bother to leave her behind. Huang Zhenhua smiled, "I know what you're thinking. Back then she had to leave Little Rose because she had to deal with it. It's a touching story. You may not believe it, but my sister is not like me. She is a very affectionate and sexual person." , and I am not as great as her emotionally. In fact, emotionally, I am a failure. My wife once left me. pain." He really didn't treat me like an outsider. "You will like your mother-in-law," Huang Zhenhua said, "she is a very beautiful woman." I thought to myself again: no matter how beautiful a forty-year-old woman is, she is still an old woman. The beauty of a woman who can leave behind her immature daughter is extremely limited.In terms of emotions, I am definitely on the side of Taichu, and in terms of reason, I am in favor of Taichu meeting her mother. I said, "I and Taichu are going back to America." Huang Zhenhua was silent. "You haven't seen my father-in-law for a long time, have you?" I said. "He is down and out, and I believe we owe him the greatest sympathy." Huang Zhenhua said: "I completely oppose it. From the beginning to the end, I have a strong prejudice against Fang Xiewen, so it is inconvenient for me to speak. So, can I ask you to extend your stay in Hong Kong?" "I consult with Ancestor," I said. Huang Zhenhua was surprised, "Tanghua, you are so kind to Taichu, and she is the most important thing in everything. I can't do it if I ask myself. No wonder my wife said that I don't understand love at all." "Love is not learning, you don't need to learn," I smiled, "If you love someone from the heart, it is difficult to hide, and you will naturally put her first. This is an instinct, and it is effortless." Huang Zhenhua was stunned and sighed. After a while he said, "I want you to know how she is doing." "Okay, please tell me, I will tell Taichu." "She remarried five years ago." I thought to myself: What's so strange about a woman like her. "My husband is Lord Lord King, who is slightly older than me, but she is very suitable for her and has a happy life. Our generation is very lucky, and our health and appearance are younger than our actual age. When you meet your mother-in-law, you may not believe that she can Be your mother-in-law." Apply a few more layers of powder on the face to make you look younger. "Over the years, she has sent countless letters and packages to Little Rose, and all of them have been returned. I believe you know that." How many beautiful clothes are worth a mother's love? Huang Zhenhua smiled: "You boy, are you constantly slandering your mother-in-law?" I blushed, I couldn't hide anything from this well-rounded person. He said: "When you come back to Hong Kong to get married, your Zhou family has only one son. Let's celebrate with Zhou and Huang. It's so lively." I said, "My father-in-law will feel left out, he's just one daughter." "Okay." Huang Zhenhua patted my shoulder, "Zhou Tanghua, you are a man with character and purpose. Little Rose has better eyes than her mother." He is still biased against my father-in-law. I'm an outsider to this whole thing, and I'm well aware of the contradictions.Huang Zhenhua is a top-notch person in terms of intelligence and knowledge. My father-in-law is a dull and honest man, and the qualifications of the two are far apart. Poor father-in-law, the greatest misfortune in his life is getting to know his wife. If he marries She is an ordinary woman who keeps her own law and order like him, and he has already enjoyed the family happiness to the fullest. "Now Sir Luo invites you to his house for dinner, you can decide whether you want to go or not." I pondered for a while, "Let's go." I always thought there was no reason not to see my mother in the beginning. "Then a car will pick you up at eight o'clock tonight," he said. "I'll try my best to convince Taichu," I said. I was very upset at first, and she complained that I tend to take my own way in such matters. I apologized with a smile: "Your uncle also said that I put you first in everything." "Another pile of people, another pile of vegetables." She said softly. "That lot of people are your close relatives, including me and your favorite aunt." She patted her chest, "My aunt is really my reassurance." You are right.Mrs. Huang was very serious, and made up a phone call: she talked to Tai Chu for a while and told her to go to the banquet with peace of mind. Still uneasy at first.She said that she didn't have a mother in her heart at all, and "mother" was just a name for her. But Taichu, who was very curious, had not seen his mother for more than ten years, so he decided to go to the banquet. "—She married someone else." Taichu sighed, "Who is Luo Luoqing? A rich old man, who can be squandered by her, but my father has no money. What qualifications does she have to be my mother?" I tie my tie. "It's a good thing you don't have to live off her." Taichu smiled, "Fortunately, I don't have to rely on her in my emotional life. I have you and my father." "She is a lonely woman," I admitted Huang Zhenhua's opinion, "A person who is not depended on is really a lonely person." Huang Zhenhua's car took us to Shek O. Tai Chu asked in surprise, "This is also Hong Kong? How different it is." Mrs. Huang said, "This place is more beautiful than the French Rivera." In the beginning said: "I have never been to Europe." Mrs. Huang was a little surprised, then smiled, "Europe has already been vulgarized." I said, "In the future, I will go there for my honeymoon with Chu. Chu, isn't it?" Taichu smiled at me sweetly. Huang Zhenhua said displeased: "Your mother has a villa 'Blue Cape', but you have never been to Rivera." 太初即刻说：“她的，是她的，我管我。” 黄振华笑着咆哮，“你们这两个家伙，少在我面前对答如流。” 我俩握着手大笑，气氛顿时松弛下来。 罗宅是一所白色的平房，正是我心目中的房子。 大门内全是影树，红花落在青石板的小路上，黄色碎叶纷纷如细雨。 网球场、腰子型泳池，四只黑色格力狗向我们迎上来。 太初轻轻非议，“香港有一家人八口一张床，她做过些什么，配有如此排场？” “嘘——”我说。 黄太太恻侧头，向我微笑，她永远洞悉一切。 黄振华与主人寒暄。 罗爵士穿一套深色灯芯绒西装，头发全白，双目炯炯有神，额角长着寿斑，约有六十出头了，雍容华贵，姿态比黄振华高出数段。他含蓄得恰到好处，非常客气，但并不与任何人过分接近。 太初很直率地问：“我'母亲'呢？” 罗爵士对太初自然是另眼相看的，温柔地答：“亲爱的，你母亲因要见你，非常紧张，不知道该穿什么衣服，她立即就出来。” 太初轻轻冷笑一声。 我们坐在美仑美奂客厅中，喝上好的中国茶。
