Chapter 379 I Have a Plan
(Guess how long I can hold on. Hahaha, I won't let you down. I hope you can continue to support me.)
In this world, most people were ordinary people. They might not have a legendary life, and they might not have glorious deeds that they could brag about to their children. However, every ordinary person was unique. They all had different feelings of joy, anger, sorrow, joy, separation, and reunion.
In everyone's eyes, Lao Guo was just a grain of sand in the vast sea of people, unimportant. Lao Guo had never thought that anyone in this world would care about him, including his three ungrateful children. But Qin Sheng, a young man who had nothing to do with him, gave him the love and warmth he needed most.
That was why Lao Guo was touched and reluctant to part with him. He knew that Qin Sheng would come again in the future, but he couldn't live like this anymore.
Because of Lao Guo's reluctance, Qin Sheng was a bit sad on the way back. Lao Guo was not a big shot, but an ordinary person. Qin Sheng never looked down on him. He treated him as a friend, not to mention that he was guarding his mother's tomb.
"It's almost the New Year. Cheer up. Don't be sad." Qin Ran touched Qin Sheng's head and laughed. She didn't expect her brother to have such a deep friendship with Lao Guo that they were reluctant to part ways.
Qin Sheng took a deep breath, forced a smile, and asked, "Sister, when are we going to Xi 'an tomorrow?"
Speaking of this important event, Qin Ran said seriously, "We will leave at 8 o 'clock tomorrow morning and arrive in Xi' an before 11 o 'clock. My father will go with us to visit grandpa's grave. After that, he will go back to Beijing. He has something to do in the afternoon and evening. I'll stay with you in Xi 'an for a day. I know you have a lot of things to do. I also want to thank the Lin family in person for taking care of you all these years. "
With such a considerate sister, Qin Sheng felt that his life would be better and better. He was moved and said, "Sister, you're so nice. Fortunately, I haven't been with you for more than 20 years. Otherwise, I don't know how much you spoil me. "
"Are you praising me or insulting me?" Qin Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Qin Sheng laughed and said, "Of course I'm praising you. I don't know who is lucky enough to marry a wife like you. I'll miss you."
"You've only just returned and you're already chasing me away? Don't worry, if you don't get married, I won't get married, "Qin Ran said casually, but it was her real thought. She had to see that everything was on the right track for Qin Sheng before she could leave the Qin Family. She would never let those outsiders bully Qin Sheng.
After entering the downtown area, Qin Sheng felt that the atmosphere of the Spring Festival was getting stronger and stronger. The streets were decorated with lanterns and streamers. Both sides of the road and the lampposts were hung with big red lanterns and China knots. Compared to usual days, there were fewer cars on the road, and it wasn't as congested as usual. This was because most people had already left the city and returned to their hometowns. Many of them only returned once a year.
For many people, life was like leaving home. There were many opportunities in the big city, but there was more loneliness in the big city. It was unknown how many people were quietly working hard in this city, only hoping to lift the skirt of the Goddess of Luck in an instant, and finally stand out in this city.
People came and went in this city. Some people could not bear the torture of reality and finally left, while others rejoined with hope. Actually, many of them would live a better and more comfortable life if they left this city and returned to their hometowns. However, for the sake of the passion and ideals in their hearts, they continued to struggle and struggle.
For them, from the moment they left their hometowns, there were only two choices in life: to die in a foreign land, or to return home in glory.
Qin Sheng did not make any comments on this. Everyone had their own choices, and everyone had to be responsible for their own choices. As for whether this life was worth it or not, perhaps one could only wait until one afternoon when he was old, holding his grandson in his arms, drinking tea, looking at those old photos, recalling the past, and sighing with emotion. Only then could he finally put the coffin on the coffin.
When Qin Sheng and Qin Ran returned to the siheyuan, the entire siheyuan had been cleaned and decorated with lanterns and streamers. It was very lively. Gongsun had bought several carts of goods for the Spring Festival, but things like couplets and the word "fu" could not be put up until the day after tomorrow.
Qin Sheng went back to his room to take a shower and change his clothes. He had not taken a proper shower for a month and had been living there casually. No wonder Qin Ran said that he was smelly.
After the shower, Qin Ran was already waiting for him in the living room before he thought about what he would do in the afternoon. She said that she would take him to get a haircut and that he had to have a new hairstyle for the Spring Festival. After that, she would take him to buy new clothes for the Spring Festival and some goods for the Spring Festival. Qin Sheng muttered, "I'm already an adult. Why should I wear new clothes for the Spring Festival? I'm not a kid who hasn't grown up yet. Besides, I haven't worn many of the clothes I bought some time ago." Qin Ran said angrily, "Not to mention that you are not married yet, even if you are married, you will always be a child who can't grow up in front of me. Besides, it's been more than 20 years. It's the first time for you to celebrate the Spring Festival with me after you've grown up. How can you not tidy up well? "
These words made Qin Sheng unable to refute. Although he did not like shopping, he could not spoil his sister's mood, so he could only go out with her. Gongsun, who was next to him, was already grinning from ear to ear. The Spring Festival this year was more lively and more festive.
The reason why Qin Ran did this was not only that this year was the first time that Qin Sheng celebrated the Spring Festival with them after he came back, which had a different meaning. The most important reason was that this year's Spring Festival would have a deeper meaning for Qin Sheng. At that time, the siheyuan would welcome many guests. His father would formally introduce Qin Sheng to everyone and then announce that his son was back. At that time, his father would also take Qin Sheng to visit his relatives and friends. These relatives and friends were not simple people. This was equivalent to telling everyone that Qin Sheng would officially inherit all his things.
How could Qin Ran not take this seriously?
In this way, Qin Ran took Qin Sheng to shop for half a day. When they returned to the siheyuan, it was already seven o 'clock in the evening. Big and small bags almost filled the entire trunk and back seat. Gongsun called several servants to carry the bags back and forth twice.
In the living room, Qin Changan knew that this pair of siblings went out to buy goods for the Spring Festival, so he had been waiting for them to have dinner. Originally, there was a high-level party tonight, which was also the last gathering of their small circle before the Spring Festival. However, Qin Changan thought that Qin Sheng had observed mourning for his mother for a month. On the first day when he returned to the siheyuan, he had to accompany the two children to have dinner. Other things were not important, so he rejected it. If he went there after dinner, they would not say anything.
"Dad, didn't Uncle Gongsun say that you have a social engagement tonight?" Before Qin Ran and Qin Sheng left, they had asked Uncle Gongsun about the schedule of the old man. At that time, Uncle Gongsun had said so. She still had some resentment in her heart. This old man really did not take Qin Sheng seriously. No wonder Qin Sheng could not be close to him. However, she could understand that the old man had to maintain some things in his position. After all, he was just a businessman. So when she saw the old man, Qin Ran was a little surprised.
Qin Changan stood up and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal, so I rejected it. Qin Sheng just came back today. As an old man, I have to have a good dinner with you."
After Qin Ran walked over, she directly held her father's arm and said, "Dad, when did you become so considerate? Why didn't I know that after so many years? It seems that I have benefited from my brother."
"Child, how can you talk like this?" Qin Changan said with a smile, but in his heart, he was bursting with joy. Although Qin Sheng came back and his relationship with Qin Sheng did not make much progress, he had gained something else. That was, his daughter was more and more important to him, not as cold as she used to be.
Facing his father, Qin Changan, Qin Sheng still could not call him dad. For many people, it was too easy. Wasn't it just a word? But for Qin Sheng, he had never called him this word for so many years. Secondly, he had not really untied the knot in his heart.
"You are back?" Qin Changan saw Qin Sheng's embarrassment, but he took the initiative to greet him.
Qin Sheng smiled awkwardly and did not know where to put his eyes and hands.
Qin Changan walked over, patted Qin Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Nice clothes. Your sister must have picked them for you. Don't stand here. You must be hungry. Let's go to dinner first. "
The family of three moved to the dining room. Gongsun hurried to ask the servants to serve the dishes. Finally, he sat at the last seat at the table.
The atmosphere of the dinner was not bad. Qin Ran, who was smart enough to change the atmosphere, deliberately led the topic, such as some interesting things between Qin Sheng and Lao Guo in the cemetery, and deliberately said that Lao Guo was reluctant to see Qin Sheng off today, and so on.
When the dinner was about to end, Qin Changan took the initiative to say, "I have something to do later. If you and your sister go out to play, don't play too late. Come back early. We have to go to Xi 'an tomorrow morning."
Then he looked at Qin Sheng and said, "By the way, Qin Sheng, I asked your Uncle Gongsun to prepare some things for the Lin Family. You can see if they are suitable or if you need to add anything. But I may not have time to see them this time. I will ask your sister to say hello and thank them for me. I will go to them next time. "
"Well, OK, I got it." Qin Changan's words made Qin Sheng feel a little warm. He could see Qin Changan's sincerity to the Lin Family. But Qin Sheng still did not know how to say it. He hesitated for a moment and said again, "There is one thing …"
Before Qin Sheng could say it, Qin Changan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say it. Don't worry about it. I have a plan in mind. I have already sent people to do it."
Qin Changan's words shocked him. He had thought that Qin Changan was too busy to care about this thing. He was still thinking about how to say it to Qin Changan. He did not expect that Qin Changan had already taken it into consideration.
Qin Sheng was speechless for a moment. He did not know how to respond, let alone say thank you.
Qin Changan continued, "This thing has nothing to do with you. The Lin Family raised you for the Qin Family. This is a great kindness. I have to pay it back in person. Otherwise, your mother and the dead old man will not let me go."
Qin Sheng was more moved and did not know what to do. Sitting next to him, Qin Ran just lowered her head and smiled. Of course, she knew what Qin Sheng had been thinking about. How could Qin Sheng, who valued friendship and righteousness, forget about Father Lin?
Qin Changan did not want Qin Sheng to be restless, so he stood up and said, "I'm done. I'll leave first. You two take your time."
After Qin Changan left, Qin Ran patted Qin Sheng's shoulder and said, "Qin Sheng, although he has done something wrong, he is definitely a qualified father. It's just that sometimes he doesn't know how to express his fatherly love. You will understand in the future."
"OK." This time, Qin Sheng nodded sincerely.
In the evening, Qin Sheng and Qin Ran did not go out. Qin Sheng accompanied his sister in the living room to watch TV and chat for a while. Then he went back to his room to read. He had been wondering whether he should call Auntie Wang and Xinxin in advance to tell them that he would go back to Xi 'an tomorrow. In the end, he gave up the idea and gave them a surprise. At that time, he could also meet Hao Lei, who must have gone back to Xi' an.
Since he had developed a good work and rest habit during the mourning period, it did not take long for him to go to bed directly. This sleep was very comfortable.
