Chapter 170 The romantic affair of great-father and great-mother!
In fact, from Zeng Cheng's perspective.
His father is a very traditional man.
To put it nicely, it's pedantic.
To put it bluntly, it's male chauvinism.
Moreover, Zeng Cheng does not seem to be that simple since his father has not returned home on New Year's Eve.
Maybe his mom and dad had a fight.
No.
To be precise, his mother and father have not remarried yet.
Zeng's mother is a typical petty bourgeois and romantic.
She has high demands on the quality of life and likes to pursue things that are romantic and poetic.
My great-grandfather was a traditional male chauvinist.
They had less time to meet each other before.
My great-father was in the army all year round, and my great-mother never joined him.
This is equivalent to ten months in a year when everyone lives their own life.
The remaining two months.
Sometimes it's even less than a month, but the couple must be very sweet.
My great-father was as tolerant as possible towards my great-mother.
And what about Zeng's mother?
Although she lived alone for a long time, her mother was rich and she was happy with eating and drinking.
So the relationship is still okay!
But it was all because of a movement that separated the two of them.
At the beginning, his maternal grandfather's family was labeled as capitalists.
This hat was like a mountain pressing down on the entire family, making it hard for them to breathe. They were about to be sent to a harsh cowshed for reform.
At this critical moment, something unexpected happened - in order to save himself, Zeng's father resolutely chose to divorce Zeng's mother.
Although Zeng's mother also agreed at the beginning.
But it is also true that Zeng's mother was heartbroken.
Even though Zeng's father actually took care of Zeng's mother in many ways.
But that deep crack has been engraved in Zeng's mother's heart and is difficult to heal.
No matter how hard my father tried to make up for his past mistakes?
The love and closeness that Zeng's mother had for him had quietly disappeared, replaced by an unbridgeable barrier.
In fact, Zeng Cheng was not speaking for his father.
My great-father had already tried his best.
He tried every possible way to alleviate the suffering suffered by his mother.
You know.
My great-father's family background was that of a second-generation military officer.
So Zeng's father is a man who has a very clear bottom line when doing things.
He won't touch some principled things!
For example, there is a 70% to 80% chance that Zeng Cheng’s incident will not involve him.
But Zeng's father still let Zeng Cheng go to the countryside first.
Zeng's mother was supposed to be exiled with her family.
But Zeng's father did not use his power for his son, but he did use some of his power for his wife.
Zeng's mother was sent down to the Northwest region where conditions were relatively better.
The Cowshed and the Northwest were both relegated.
But there is still a huge difference between the two!
There is no freedom at all in the cowshed, people are under constant surveillance, and the work points earned are few.
It's the kind where even if you do a lot of work, you won't be given high work points.
Even when the food was distributed at the end, the food was of the worst quality. The main thing was to make sure no one starved to death!
You can say that.
The people in the cowshed didn't even have the chance to get some fine grains.
But the situation is different in the Northwest.
Just down here.
Although the environment here is not good and life is not good either.
But freedom.
As long as you have money, you don’t have to work or earn work points.
Zeng's father would send money and various valuable bills to Zeng's mother on time every month to ensure that Zeng's mother could live a relatively stable life there.
Even after the crackdown ended.
Zeng's father went to see Zeng's mother as soon as possible and tried to pursue her again.
But what Zeng's father could not have imagined was?
Despite his high position, he is still willing to take the initiative to seek peace and curry favor.
Zeng's mother always maintained a lukewarm attitude towards him.
What is even more worrying is that Zeng's mother actually had the idea of remarrying.
It was during the days when I was sent down to the northwest.
Perhaps Zeng's mother was angry for a moment, or perhaps she really fell deeply in love with another man - the man who also suffered the fate of being sent down to the countryside for reform.
But this relationship did not develop smoothly because Zeng's father intervened quickly after learning about it.
Relying on his prominent status and great power, the man was so scared that he knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness after only one meeting with Zeng's father, without even the Zeng's father putting any pressure on him.
Not only that, in order to protect himself, he chose to draw a clear line with his mother without hesitation and cut off all contact.
In this way, Zeng's father abruptly killed Zeng's mother's budding love affair in the cradle.
The other side.
For Zeng Cheng and his family.
Actually, it’s okay to skip a meal.
After all, Zeng Cheng and his family of four had bought lunch boxes on the train.
But it’s ok in normal times.
It would be very wrong to do it during the Chinese New Year.
Zeng Cheng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly offered, "How about we go borrow some from our neighbors? Maybe we can even get a free meal."
Zhao Qianqian looked embarrassed and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "This isn't a good idea! I've never interacted with the people around here before. Besides, the people living here are either extremely wealthy or the descendants of powerful figures. There are important people everywhere, so how could I dare to just go and disturb them casually?"
It doesn’t matter if I can’t borrow anything.
But if their unintentional visit disturbs the elegant mood and happy atmosphere of unity during the New Year celebrations of other families, it would be a real sin!
I heard Zhao Qianqian’s analysis.
Zeng Cheng also felt a little hesitant.
In fact, Zeng Cheng has never lived in this area.
In the past, the family lived in their great-father's home in the military compound.
As for my mother’s dowry house?
His father is a man with his own obsessions in some aspects.
That is no matter how rich Zeng's mother's family is.
Once you enter the Zeng family, you must act according to the Zeng family's rules and must live in the Zeng family.
Their house is a typical military compound.
Although in terms of material conditions, his father's house was much inferior to the one his mother brought as a dowry.
But the people living in that compound are no ordinary people.
In a sense, the military compound is far more valuable than the house in front of you.
After all, it is a military compound, and even the people standing guard at the gate are armed guards.
Anyway, the military compound in Kyoto is really awesome!
It’s okay if others don’t eat it.
But one person was very unhappy.
Xiaobao's childish voice kept shouting, "Mom and Dad, I'm so hungry, my stomach is growling!"
Looking at his daughter's pitiful appearance, Zeng Chengshi really couldn't bear to let her continue to starve.
Although he felt a little troubled, he had no other choice but to take his precious daughter to the neighbor's house to try his luck and see if he could borrow some food.
About half an hour later.
Zeng Cheng finally took his daughter's hand and slowly walked back to the door of his house.
Zhao Qianqian and Dabao were sitting in the living room anxiously waiting for their return.
