In the study.
When Soviet Defence recalled what had happened in the past few years, it felt as if it were a lifetime ago.
Who could have imagined that the child could come back?
He took out letters from all over the world over the years from a compartment in the bookcase.
All about my daughter's letter of recognition.
Su Xiaoluo looked at the thick letter and was speechless for a moment.
The Soviet army said, "My child, you must be wondering why we were indifferent to your master's letter this time."
"Because of this, there are a lot of letters every year."
"Your grandfather, your sixth brother never gave up looking for you, and he traveled almost all over the country. But there are still so many people in this family. Your mother is the pillar of this family, she can't fall down. We all thought you might be dead, but she refused to believe it."
"She puts her feelings for you on Li Wan."
"If Li Wan hadn't been with her this year, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on."
"Xiaojiu, can you understand my mood?"
Su Weijun looked at Su Xiaoluo and asked softly. Because he had been disappointed too many times, he dared not hold out hope anymore.
But because of this, he missed the best opportunity to meet Xiao Luo.
Su Xiaoluo didn't say anything. She could imagine their feelings, but she couldn't understand their behavior.
Can raising a daughter who is not her really be a substitute?
The Soviet military sighed and said, "You can blame your mother, but I can't blame her. Without her, this family wouldn't be where it is now. So I don't expect you to forgive us, but I hope you don't hold a grudge against her in your heart."
"She never forgot you."
"I know everything." Su Xiaoluo said calmly, "Actually I don't blame anyone, it's all fate."
"When I was very young, I was on the road with my master, and sometimes we would run into them because the children were lost and would carry their portraits around looking for people. When they got older, they would go to different places, do odd jobs, and when they earned some money, they would start looking for people everywhere."
"I remember a grandmother who cried so much for her child that her eyes went blind. She couldn't go anywhere, so she knelt on the street, begging and asking people if they had seen her child."
"At that time, I was thinking, if I lost that child, I hope my parents can live a good life and not affect their child because of my loss."
"We are really lucky, so you don't have to feel guilty. I am your daughter, so I naturally wish you the best."
"Don't blame you, blame the traffickers, blame the people who separated us."
Su Weijun was comforted because his daughter was lost, his mother died of grief, and his father searched everywhere for her. His life was a mess and he saw no hope.
They can bury their pain and move on.
He took out a passbook from under the desk and said, "I said I thought you were gone, but every time I missed you, I would save some money in this passbook, thinking that if I found you one day, I could give it to you."
Su Xiaoluo wanted to refuse, but Su Weijun was very firm and gave her the passbook, saying, "Silly girl, I'll save this for your dowry."
Su Xiaoluo opened it and couldn't help but feel moved.
There are two months in a year, so there are two deposits in a year. The most recent one was half a month ago.
"Every time your mother mentions it to me, I go to save it. I miss you, girl." Su Weijun was not good at expressing his feelings and never showed his longing for Xiaoluo in front of his family.
Once it is revealed, it will make the family even more sad.
Father’s love is like a mountain.
Su Xiaoluo looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes: "Dad."
"Oh." Su Weijun couldn't help but burst into tears.
Coming out of the study, Su Xiaoluo wiped away her tears and saw that Cheng Ya's bedroom door was not closed.
Cheng Ya sat there, staring at the doll in front of her with a sluggish look.
Su Xiaoluo walked in, squatted beside her, and said, "Try to reconcile with yourself! My master said that there are many things in this world that you can't control. Don't punish yourself with other people's mistakes."
"Have a good sleep." Su Xiaoluo took the doll away, opened the quilt, and helped her to sleep.
Su Xiaoluo walked to the door and said softly, "Mom, thank you for bringing me into this world."
She turned off the light.
As soon as the door was closed, Cheng Ya curled up in the quilt and cried quietly for a long time.
——
On the day of Su Xiaoluo's birthday, she had lunch with Su Zhengguo at home. Su Zhengguo said, "Go to Xincheng after the New Year. Your aunt misses you, so you should go."
"Okay." Su Xiaoluo agreed.
"If she wants to introduce you to someone, you must not agree, understand?" Su Zhengguo warned.
"Okay! Got it!" Su Xiaoluo smiled helplessly. Why did it feel like she was getting a year older and everyone was starting to care about her marriage?
Although the master said he would not force her.
But her wish for many years has been to ascend, and apart from ascending, she really doesn't know what else she should do.
"Your father has already asked someone to renovate our small courtyard. It will be used as your dowry when the time comes." Su Zhengguo wanted to be closer to Xiaojiu.
"..." Su Xiaoluo drank a cup of tea and said quickly, "Grandpa, I have made an appointment with them. Let's talk about these things later!"
Su Xiaoluo ran out of the door as if to escape. Su Zhengguo smiled and shook his head and said, "This kid doesn't even listen to what others say."
"Su He, where are you going?" Su Zhengguo stopped Su He who was about to go out.
"Isn't Xiaojiu happy? Fu Ran and I will go pick out a gift for Xiaojiu!" Su He said with a smile.
"Make it clear to Ran girl. If she wants to decide whether to let you go or not, you should think about it yourself." Su Zhengguo is an experienced person and a typical love-minded person. He gave up many opportunities because of Song Jingshu.
But looking back now, he has no regrets at all and feels that the time they spent together was too short.
Su He scratched his head and said, "Okay! Got it, I'll go first!"
Wang Qian held Xiao Yi'an and handed her to Su Zhengguo, saying, "Grandpa, help me hold the baby."
Su Zhengguo held little Yi'an in his arms and said with a smile, "Thank goodness you're here. You won't run away, and you can listen to what Grandpa says here."
Su Ping walked down with his head down and sat opposite Su Zhengguo. Su Zhengguo glared at him and asked, "Everyone else has gone out, why haven't you gone out yet?"
"I've already prepared Xiaojiu's birthday gift." Su Ping said quickly. "Grandpa, I'm not in a good mood."
"Is it still because of that incident?" Su Zhengguo asked.
"Well," Su Ping said, "If you make a mistake once, you are no longer eligible for forgiveness?"
Cheng Ya was holding the baby and was stunned when she heard these words.
Seems to be waiting for an answer.
Su Zhengguo said: "It depends on what the mistake is. If you know it and don't correct it, you will definitely not be forgiven. If you know it and can correct it, whether others forgive you or not is your freedom, but at least don't deceive yourself."
