Chapter 416 Nie Xinghua's Spring Heart (Follow Your Heart, End)
Old Xue found it strange that it had been three days since his cold was cured, but Mr. Nie had not yet completed the discharge procedures.
On the fourth day, which was almost National Day, he had to set off back to North City.
With some regrets.
When Midou and McDull's birthday was one month old, he rushed over from North City and met Zhang Mingming.
But Zhang Mingming was busy entertaining guests and ignored him.
When it was Midou and McDull’s hundred-day party, he rushed over from North City and met Zhang Mingming again.
But Zhang Mingming was still busy taking care of the guests and ignored him.
Jiang Yi and Nie Can couldn't stand it.
"Dad, you'd better give up. I heard that someone recently introduced a date to my mother-in-law, and she agreed to meet the guy," Jiang Yi said.
Nie Can added, "I thought Ms. Zhang looked so radiant recently. It turns out she has gotten married three times."
Look, spring is coming soon.
Can he speak? Those red envelopes were given away in vain! Father Nie had a blank expression on his face, but his heart was bleeding, and he left.
The spring of 1989 is really coming.
Midou and McDull were born on National Day, and the Spring Festival was just a few days after the 100-day banquet.
A lot of big things happened this year.
But all the difficulties will eventually pass, and people will finally usher in the 1990s when the economy begins to take off. On New Year's Eve, people still celebrate the New Year with festive songs playing on tape recorders.
This year, Dandan made her first appearance on the Spring Festival Gala.
Wei Wei sang "Devotion of Love" with deep emotion.
This is the call of the heart
This is a dedication of love
This is the spring breeze of the world
This is the source of life
In the heartless desert
In a wasteland without love
Even the god of death is afraid of
Flowers of happiness bloom everywhere
ah……
As long as everyone gets along with a little love
The world will become a beautiful world
ah……
As long as everyone gets along with a little love
The world will become a beautiful world
The atmosphere at the Spring Festival Gala was extremely touching, and many viewers in front of the TV sang along.
Nie Qi also recorded the song.
Xiao Guozi could sing it after just the second time he heard it. He is almost six years old and will be in the first grade next year.
"Didn't Siyuan say he wanted to give grandpa a New Year's gift?" Nie Xinghua asked.
New Year's Eve is also Nie Can's birthday, and this time she celebrated it in Beicheng. Everyone came, but Zhang Mingming didn't come. She went to Lhasa at the end of the year to send education funds to the children there and traveled by the way.
We were delayed a little because we were blocked by snow on the way back.
It was almost nine o'clock.
The little fruit was a little mysterious, "Hehe, Grandpa, I'll send it to you later, okay?"
The second hand ticked, and Jiang Yi said, "I'll call Nie Can."
Nie Can went to pick up his mother. He brought a mobile phone. Nie Can said, "I haven't picked her up yet."
Nie Xinghua finally couldn't help it, "I'll go, Nie Can has been waiting for so long and must be tired."
At first, everyone was afraid that Zhang Mingming didn't want to see him, so they didn't let him go.
The eldest parent, Grandma Nie, waved her hand and said, "Okay, then you go."
In fact, Nie Can’s comrades in the front city had already called and said that Ms. Zhang was almost here, but he didn’t say anything because he wanted to make someone anxious, and who knew that someone would come.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you to stand guard. I'm going to go back to my wife and children."
Nie Xinghua was stabbed in the heart by him.
"Go ahead!"
It happened to snow that day, but the alley outside was very lively. Children were holding firecrackers and fireworks, wearing new clothes, chasing and playing, and the atmosphere of the New Year was everywhere.
The great man is right, we are on the right road.
No difficulties can shake our pace of progress.
"Back?" a voice said.
Nie Can strode over.
The woman stood at the door to greet him. When she saw him, she ran over and wanted to hug him. "Are you cold?"
Nie Can quickly opened his coat and let her in. "Why don't you wait for me inside? You haven't recovered yet."
"I've recovered a long time ago." Jiang Yi hugged his waist, so strong and warm.
A few snowflakes fell on her hair. Nie Can flicked them off for her, kissed her on the lips, his eyes deep. "Are you recovered?" His voice was a little hoarse.
Jiang Yi's breathing became disordered for a moment, and she hit him, "Go in quickly."
After thinking for a while, she asked again, "By the way, did Ms. Zhang also divorce Fu Chengdong in her previous life?"
"Divorced."
"So, have Dad and Ms. Zhang reunited?"
"No, but he never remarried and died alone."
"oh……"
Here, half an hour later, Nie Xinghua saw Zhang Mingming's license plate number.
"Why are you here?" Zhang Mingming asked.
When he spoke, all he exhaled was white air.
"The child is still young. I asked Nie Can to go back to help Jiang Zini take care of the child." Nie Xinghua gave her his coat.
Zhang Mingming was about to say no, but a warm breath came over her and she took her words back.
Nie Xinghua said, "I have another one." He put on the one that Lao Xue was holding and put it over his shirt.
His eyes settled on the woman's face.
She hasn't changed much from last year, except that she's more energetic and has a different kind of confidence than before, not just arrogant, but also a little more calm.
A few snowflakes fell on her eyelashes, making him want to go up and help her brush them off.
But his fingers just curled up again and again out of restraint, and finally did not stretch out.
"Are you hungry?"
"Not bad." Zhang Mingming turned his eyes away.
Her car broke down on the way, and Ayong told her about the situation, "Take my car, I'll take the other one." This time Nie Xinghua brought two cars.
Zhang Mingming got into his car without looking away. When she had a choice, she would never treat herself badly and always enjoy the most comfortable one.
It's warm in the car.
When they reached the gate of the courtyard, she took off her coat and returned it to him, saying in a neutral tone, "Thank you very much."
"Grandma!" is the loud and crisp sound of the small fruit.
Zhang Mingming smiled immediately and hugged Xiao Guozi, "Baby, you've gained weight."
"Grandpa said that a man should be strong. I ate well."
Others came up to ask about her well-being. Nie Qi asked, "Sister Mingming, how was your trip to Lhasa?
"I'm deeply touched," said Zhang Mingming.
This "trip" also brought about a slight change in her mentality.
"Let's eat first. We'll have plenty of time to talk in the evening." Grandma Nie said with a smile.
Everyone was waiting for her to have the reunion dinner. Zhang Mingming felt warm inside. "Before we eat, I want to give everyone gifts. Ms. Nie, this is for you."
"Buddhist beads?" Grandma Nie smiled even more happily, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Everyone else has one. Xiao Guozi and Midou McDull have unique silver locks. Jiang Yi, sisters Nie Qi, and Ye Hui also have bracelets, which are a little more fashionable than Grandma Nie's. Nie Can has a peace lotus hanging painting, and Nie Xingyi has a thangka.
Even Lao Zhou and Lao Xue got one, a bag of yak jerky each.
Everyone: “……?” Could it be that Chief of Staff Nie didn’t have it?
Yes, Zhang Mingming took it out at the last moment and said, "Here you go." He looked as if he didn't care whether he wanted it or not.
Nie Xinghua's eyes flashed with a faint light. He took it and found it was a box of Tibetan incense for calming the mind. He held it tightly and said, "Thank you."
"Let's eat." Zhang Mingming had already sat down with Xiao Guozi.
The little fruit suddenly said, "Grandpa, I haven't given you a gift yet?"
"It was you who said you would send it later." Nie Xinghua said.
Everyone looked over curiously, only to see Little Fruit looking at Ms. Zhang with a smile, "Grandma, Grandpa said he wants to be with you, can I give you to Grandpa as a gift?"
Zhang Mingming was drinking a bowl of hot soup when he choked and his face turned red.
Nie Xinghua, who always remained calm in the face of adversity, almost spilled his wine and hurriedly explained, "I didn't teach you that."
Little Guozi was also naive, "Grandpa said that. Grandpa gave me a lot of gifts before, and I now have nine fighter plane models. I also want to give Grandpa a gift, so I asked him what he likes, and he said he likes grandma."
Everyone:"……"
Oh ha ha ha, everyone was holding back their laughter, and the look in their eyes when they looked at Father Nie was indescribable.
Chief of Staff Nie was frozen in place.
Zhang Mingming also glanced at him. Was it disgust? Or was it disdain?
She said to Xiao Guozi helplessly, "Grandma is a person, not a gift. Please give him another one."
Little Fruit pouted, "Oh, I'll think about it."
This harmless episode was over, and the scene returned to its lively state. Nie Can and Jiang Yixian raised their glasses and said, "I wish you all a better year ahead."
"Yes, next year will be better. May all your wishes come true."
As spring came and flowers bloomed, the song "Devotion of Love" spread throughout the streets and alleys and was almost the most popular song of the year.
Starting from March, Nie Xinghua went on a business trip to Suicheng for two months. On his days off, he would take care of Jiang Yi's children and teach Xiao Guozi calligraphy.
Today I taught him to write a poem called "Jinse". Little Guozi wrote and read at the same time:
The brocade zither has fifty strings, each string and each pillar reminds me of my youth.
Zhuangzi dreamed of butterflies in the morning, and King Wang placed his love on the cuckoo...
"Grandpa, what does this poem mean?" In addition to being interested in fighter jets, Xiao Guozi is also interested in poetry.
Nie Xinghua patiently explained it to him.
He suddenly wanted to go to that small courtyard.
In addition to visiting the children, every time he came to Suicheng, he would stay in the small courtyard beside the long embankment for a day or two, trimming flowers and plants, and doing some carpentry. The fence that Midou and McDull sat on was made by him.
In spring, the iron fences are covered with clusters of bougainvillea flowers, red, pink and purple. The branches extend out of the fences, attracting some photography enthusiasts.
Bougainvillea has another name, called Rhododendron australis.
He didn't want to be photographed and was about to turn around to go back. Suddenly, a moon-white skirt appeared in his peripheral vision. His heart skipped a beat and he turned around, meeting the woman's somewhat surprised eyes.
Zhang Mingming probably didn't expect him to be there, so he quickly turned around, but suddenly wondered why he was leaving and stopped again.
"Are you just passing by this time too?" Nie Xinghua had already chased out with big strides, his eyes were heavy, and something was about to burst out from them.
Zhang Mingming calmed down and said, "I was just passing by."
I had an appointment with a client nearby and stopped by after dinner.
This was the first time Zhang Mingming looked at him straight in the eye two years after their divorce. He was still in his military uniform, and there was a deep, restrained sense of coldness and oppression about him.
Nie Xinghua also looked at her quietly, his Adam's apple rolling again and again before he said, "Mingming, why did you come?"
"What about you? Why are you here again?" Zhang Mingming asked back.
"I follow my heart," he said.
Just follow your heart? Zhang Mingming didn't say his own reasons.
"Comrade Zhang Mingming, can I pursue you again?" she heard the man in front of her say.
He is no longer young.
There are white hairs on the forehead.
Nie Xinghua had wanted to say this for a long time. After he found the tangerine peel in the old pigeon and mung bean soup in the hospital, he wanted to say it, but he never had the chance.
At this moment he thought, maybe he would be rejected the hundred and first time, but what did it matter, he didn't plan to love anyone else again.
No one could see that his heart was beating very fast.
"Then go after him and see if you can catch him." She said lightly.
His eyes were slightly raised, with a look of pride.
Just like when she was nineteen.
Even if she is a hundred years old, she will always have a girl's heart.
Nie Xinghua's throat was tickled with a fishy sweetness. He clenched his fingers tightly, almost pinching them into his palms, and then he suppressed the urge to hug her. However, his unstable voice still betrayed his emotions, "You agreed."
Zhang Mingming's eyes slid across his slightly red eyes, still looking proud, "But I want to tell you, you're in line - let me take a look."
She actually took out her little notebook and said, "Oh, number 250."
Nie Xinghua's emotions paused at this moment, and his eyes twitched, "I'm an idiot?"
Old Xue next to him put his fist to his mouth and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
"So are you going to line up or not?" Zhang Mingming said with a serious expression.
Nie Xinghua: "...row."
It's okay if it's just a fool. Anyway, no matter how many numbers there are, they will be squeezed out by him.
"Can I buy you dinner tonight?"
"You want to cut in line?"
“…Not really.”
"I already have a date tonight." With her daughter-in-law and grandchildren! Want to cut in line? Wait.
