The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

  Chapter 1027, the answer before the hospital bed

  His eyes lingered at the door of the villa for a while, Wenhui asked sadly: "Dad, how long did the doctor say grandpa can last?"

  Wen Tuyuan is a filial son, and his mood is also low: "If you hang it with a needle, you can endure it for almost two months."

   "two months"

  In August, it was said that half a year to a year, and after returning from a performance in Berlin, it was suddenly shortened to two months. Wen Hui's heart was full of emptiness and desolation, with a sense of unreality.

   Villa, bedroom.

  After vomiting blood last night, Mr. Wen was seriously injured, and his whole body felt an indescribable fatigue and pain. It was a bad feeling, worse than when he was badly wounded on the battlefield when he was young.

  At that time, even if he was seriously injured, his life was in danger, but his focus was not on himself, but he was always worried about the situation on the battlefield, the general trend, the number of casualties, and the clothing, food and drink for the troops in the winter.

  And now, his mind is full of parents' infidelity and love for children.

  Until this moment, old man Wen finally understood and finally accepted his fate.

   Feeling vaguely that there was someone in front of the bed, Mr. Wen managed to open his eyes, but when he saw the person coming, he habitually made a bad face.

Recalling the appearance of the old man when he was young and strong, and looking at the appearance of being limp and sick in bed now, such a big difference still caused waves in the heart of Wen Yu, who was originally calm, but when he saw the old man saw himself, his expression changed. , She was a little angry again, more depressed.

  He has been in the heart for decades, even if he has walked the last part of the road, he still refuses to forgive himself.

Thinking of this, Wen Yu, who was used to being strong, decisively put away the twilight feelings of father and daughter, but said bluntly: "I am not here today to compete with you, nor to quarrel with you. I just want to talk to you about Huihui."

  Hearing Huihui, and hearing about his most precious and most cherished granddaughter, Mr. Wen opened his closed eyes a little while ago, and asked weakly, "Huihui's performance was successful this time?"

  Wenyu nodded: "Successful, very successful! Don't look at her as a Chinese, but music has no borders. She is very popular in mainstream Western countries."

  Hearing this, Mr. Wen scoffed, obviously very dissatisfied with the rhetoric that "music has no borders and is a mainstream Western country".

   But this is the granddaughter's achievement, he didn't say anything to ridicule after all.

  Wenyu is not stupid, just by observing his words, he knew that the old man was impatient with him, so he didn't beat around the bush, and said straightforwardly: "This time I went to Berlin, and Zhang Xuan also went."

  In the room, there was only the weak breathing of old man Wen, and it was very quiet.

   Seeing this, Wen Yu came to a conclusion: This old man really knew about the unclear relationship between Zhang Xuan and Huihui.

  Wenyu said again: "This time, there are also two girls, Du Shuangling and Mi Jian."

  Master Wen is still indifferent.

  Wenyu couldn't help asking: "The three women who have the deepest bond with Zhang Xuan gather in Berlin, so why don't you ask what role Huihui plays in the middle?"

  Old Man Wen's eyelids moved, but then he didn't respond.

  Wen Yu continued to overweight: "My little sister and I judged that Mi Jian is pregnant, Zhang Xuan's child."

  Palindrome Wen opened his eyes this time, and his cloudy and yellow eyes were staring straight at the unfilial eldest daughter. It was as if the eyes were a sharp sword, trying to pierce her through.

In the past few decades, Wen Yu has experienced this kind of look countless times, and she is not surprised, so she continued to talk: "I guess, my sister-in-law probably also knows about this, if it is not because of your existence, she should have already seen it by now." Attack Huihui."

  Hearing this, Mr. Wen uttered a rare voice again: "What do you think of Huihui's relationship?"

Seeing that the old man was willing to discuss Huihui with her, Wenyu was very surprised, but later felt that it was reasonable, even if he didn't like herself, but he loved Huihui very much, so precious that it surpassed everyone in the Wen family the sum of love.

  Wenyu has a basis for such an idea:

  One is that the old man loved his dead mother very much.

  Huihui and his mother are 80% like each other. Whenever the old man sees Huihui, he will think of his mother. Naturally, the emotional sustenance of the old man in this life falls on Huihui.

The second is that the second generation of the Wen family has grown up to have three sisters, but the third generation is only Huihui. For a person like Old Man Wen who values ​​the concept of family inheritance, Huihui's status is much higher than those of his grandchildren. .

  It’s just a pity that the elder brother didn’t live up to it. After giving birth to the two sisters Huihui, he accidentally injured his body during the exercise. Later, after his son died of illness, he was powerless to want to raise him again.

   Therefore, Huihui is the baby bump of the Wen family.

  So, at the beginning, the old man was afraid that the only treasured lump would go his own way, so he insisted on not allowing Huihui to go to the American Conservatory of Music for further studies, so he had to spend a lot of time on his own to go back to the country to teach.

  Third, Huihui is gentle and intelligent, and has made great achievements in the piano. Any parent would be extremely proud of this. This old man is a mortal, no exception.

  Wenyu gave her most sincere thoughts: "From a moral point of view, there are flaws. But unmarried men and unmarried women, even if Zhang Xuan has a girlfriend, Huihui still has the right to pursue love.

   And Huihui is engaged in the art of piano. In this line of work, if you want to bravely climb the peak, you must not be bound by your mind, pursue freedom, and pursue a transparent life. Only in this way can you give rich emotions to the piano performance art, have your own interpretation characteristics, and be able to make great achievements. The head goes a step further, leaving a name in history.

not to mention."

  Wenyu paused, and continued: "What's more, Huihui was born in a family like ours. As long as it is beneficial to the future, what is this little moral flaw?"

  Old man Wen understands it. The eldest daughter is willing to sacrifice her face to talk to him in private today because she is really thinking about Huihui's future. From the starting point, the intention is still very pure, but it is also worthy of the family role of "aunt".

  Thinking in this way, old man Wen lost a bit of sharpness in his eyes when he looked at his eldest daughter.

  Seeing that the old man seems to have listened, Wen Yu went on to say: "What I said just now was Yu Gong, and I spoke from the perspective of the entire literary family.

   Now let me talk about Yu Shi, Huihui is your granddaughter, you have been together for more than 20 years, you should know her better than anyone else, and with her arrogant personality, ordinary men can’t catch her eyes. "

Old man Wen did not deny this point. For more than 20 years, there are always dozens of outstanding men who have been hanging around his granddaughter, but he didn't like any of them. On the contrary, Zhang Xuan, who came out of the countryside, immediately Grab her heart firmly.

Old Man Wen claims to know his granddaughter's temper nature better than anyone else, and if he doesn't move, he thinks that once he is tempted, there is almost no cure. The facts also prove this point: In order to show her determination to her family, Hui Hui spent two nights with Zhang Xuan .

   It was Wen Hui's two silent "protests" that old man Wen only wanted to see Zhang Xuan last time, and wanted to observe Zhang Xuan up close.

  The results of the observation are self-evident. The granddaughter is not shy at all in front of him, showing her true emotions, which makes the old man unable to get angry.

  Wenyu said: "You and your mother have known each other and loved each other so hard, so you should be more clear: love is something that you can't stop just by calling Huihui back from Yangcheng to study in Shanghai."

  These words made old man Wen couldn't help falling into a trance. At the beginning, he didn't care about his family and life for her. He even brought his sick mother along with him.

   Whenever recalling the past, old man Wen would ask himself: If I do it again, will I still be like this?

  But the result is still the same every time, he has no regrets. Because there is only one fate, if you miss it, there will be no more, how could he be willing? When the mother died, she never blamed him, but she was very pleased that her son had great courage.

  Wenyu didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but said in a timely manner: "I stayed in the United States at the time, because I felt that true love was priceless. I have never regretted it until now. I still insist on it. True love is priceless.

  So I respect Huihui's choice as an aunt. After all, the opportunity is fleeting. After passing this village, this shop will disappear. I am afraid that if you forcefully intervene, Huihui will end up lonely for life. "

  The sound of "the end of a lifetime of loneliness", old man Wen was a little moved when he heard it, and closed his eyes again.

   Wenyu finished speaking, and stared fixedly at her father on the bed. Seeing that the other party didn't want to pay any attention to her, she sighed silently, got up and walked out.

   "How are you talking?"

  Seeing the elder sister coming out, Wen Tuyuan went up to ask her.

  Wen Hui also looked at her aunt expectantly. Among all the Wen family, she most wanted to see her aunt reconcile with her grandfather.

  Wenyu shook his head: "I don't know how the conversation went. He said a few words about Huihui, and the total did not exceed 20 words."

  Huihui? Wen Tuyuan keenly grasped the daughter's name, and suddenly had a guess in his heart. The eldest sister was willing to break the stalemate of decades and have private talks with the old man because of Huihui?

  Wen Tuyuan turned to look at his daughter.

  Wen Hui naturally thought of what my father could think of, and because she was the person involved, she thought further and more

  Wen Hui asked Wen Yu: "Auntie, how is Grandpa doing now?"

  Wenyu said: "It's much better than last night. Now you close your eyes and don't want to talk to me. Go in and have a look. If he opens his eyes, he is probably waiting for you."

  Wen Hui realized clearly, and then slowed down and walked in softly.

  Wen Tuyuan looked at his daughter's back, then at his eldest sister, and gave up the idea of ​​following in.

   After pondering for a while, Wen Tuyuan asked, "What did you tell Dad?"

  Wenyu turned around and asked, "Did my sister-in-law tell you about Huihui when she came back from Berlin yesterday?"

  Wen Tuyuan nodded, worried: "I said it last night."

  Wen Yu said: "I also talked about this with the old man today."

  Hearing this, Wen Tuyuan suddenly realized: "Are you trying to persuade the old man to agree with Huihui?"

  Wen Yu tilted his head: "What else?"

  Wen Tuyuan frowned slightly.

  Wenyu smiled: "It's really pedantic, what kind of temperament is your own daughter, do you still let outsiders tell you?"

After finishing speaking, Wenyu poured a glass of water to drink, and said very seriously after drinking, "Huihui is not a person who is good at expressing emotions. If you and sister-in-law choose to express her feelings this time If you are locked in a cage, you may not be able to fly out next time, maybe you will never have the chance to fly out again in this life, I hope you will not regret it when the time comes."

  Wen Tuyuan has always been a very calm person. He didn't make a sound when he heard the words, but chose a seat on the spot and sat down, lost in thought.

After waiting for a while, seeing that her elder brother didn’t fart, Wen Yu couldn’t help but continued to say: “You know Van Gogh, you know Beethoven, these people with super talent in art have a common problem: loneliness And poverty. Emotionally, it is even more rigid, and it is easy to step into a dead end."

  Wen Tu looked at his elder sister from a distance, and asked calmly, "How much benefit did Zhang Xuan give you?"

  Wen Yu pouted: "I'll discuss the matter."

  Wen Tuyuan didn't make things too difficult for her, but said: "Your sister-in-law and I only have one daughter, Huihui. I'm afraid your sister-in-law won't be able to swallow this breath."

  Wen Yu asked: "Did sister-in-law take care of you?"

  Wen Tuyuan shook his head: "Why do you think so? She has treated you well all these years."

  Hearing this, Wen Yu was speechless for a moment, she knew that her suggestion was indeed appalling compared to her brother and sister-in-law in China.

But Wenyu has been in the field of piano for decades, and her brother-in-law can't understand her sensitivity to artistic characteristics. The two seconds Huihui looked at Zhang Xuan affectionately before performing in Berlin gave her a feeling of Very bad intuition and hunch.

  Inside the house.

  Hearing familiar footsteps from the door, old man Wen didn't answer Wen Yu's love just now, tilted his head and opened his eyes: "I'm back."

  Wen Hui forced herself to put away her sadness, and called softly, pretending to be calm: "Grandpa."

  Who is Old Man Wen? I saw through my granddaughter's worry at a glance, stretched out my old right hand and patted her shoulder twice slowly, and said kindly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, don't worry, grandpa deserves to live this life."

  Wen Hui choked up, and called out again: "Grandpa."

  Old man Wen quietly watched Hui's granddaughter, and asked later: "I heard that this performance was very successful, and you are very popular in Western countries."

  Wen Hui looked up: "Auntie told you?"

  Old man Wen babbled, "Grandpa can tell fortunes too."

  Wenhui tried to persuade him: "Grandpa, have you found that aunt is most like you? Both of them have a knife mouth and a bean curd heart."

  Old Man Wen was stunned for a moment, and then whispered, "Her temperament and personality were indeed quite similar to mine when she was a child."

  Wen Hui asked: "At that time, Grandpa, you must have liked Auntie very much, right?"

  Old man Wen recalled the past, neither denying nor affirming it.

  Wen Hui asked: "At that time, why did you send your aunt to study abroad?"

Old man Wen replied: "Although grandpa has always hated imperialism, many things in China were indeed inferior to those in the United States at that time. I just wanted to not waste her artistic talent and let her go out to see the world and learn her skills before coming back." To serve the country, I never thought of her"

   At this point, old man Wen's lips frowned a little, and then he asked his granddaughter straightly: "There is a phenomenon in China, and there is a saying that when you go outside and see the outside world, your mind is easily shaken and you don't want to come back.

  You have been to so many countries and seen the most prosperous cities in the world. Grandpa asked you, have you ever been as excited as your aunt? "

Wen Hui nodded and shook her head: "When I was young, I went to New York, London, Paris and other big cities with my aunt during the winter and summer vacations. At that time, my eyes were confused. I felt that those cities were indeed far better than those in China, and the artistic atmosphere was stronger than in China. , I was tempted at a certain moment."

  Old Man Wen nodded, as if he had personally verified the statement from his granddaughter, and asked after a long time, "You never mentioned it to Grandpa."

  Wen Hui said what was in her heart: "I know you will definitely not agree, and although I have been tempted, I don't want to leave you and Mom and Dad. In my heart, you are more important."

  Old Man Wen looked into his granddaughter's eyes and asked, "Are you still tempted?"

  Wen Hui shook her head slightly: "I didn't think about immigrating abroad before, and now I don't even think about it."

  Now I don't even think about it anymore, old man Wen chewed on this, and asked: "Because of Zhang Xuan?"

   Seen through at a glance, Wen Hui was not in any embarrassment, and said frankly and simply: "Because of him."

  Old Man Wen pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Do you know what your aunt told me before?"

  Wen Hui said: "I can guess some."

  Old Man Wen asked, "Is she right?"

  Wen Hui bowed her head and remained silent.
