The Sun of Rebirth

Chapter 40

"Teacher, teacher! Why didn't our No. [-] scholar come? Have you notified him? God, I want his autograph!" Xu Nan danced excitedly.

Several teachers smiled wryly: "Don't be impatient, Chen Luo, we have notified him early in the morning. The school, the Education Bureau and the reporters all want to see him. We are more impatient than you, but Chen Luo has no time to come back from abroad now. I will hurry back and come to the school some time, and we will notify you when the time comes, don’t miss it if you want to come to get together, I’m afraid that many of you will have already rushed to the school to report with the notice.”

"Ah—" There was a lot of mourning underneath.

"It seems that there is no chance to curry favor with talented students." Xu Nan joked, and everyone nodded.

In July, the first batch of admissions began. Su Chaoyang stopped paying attention after confirming that he was admitted. Yixin and Su traveled all over Wutong City. They had seen and compared their performances before they made a cautious choice. In the middle of the day, both of them had lost all their money, so they went home to rest.

Within two days, Su Chaoyang rushed to my aunt's hometown in the countryside, a place called Chenshuiwan. Although my aunt lives in the town now, there are ten acres of land in the countryside where peanuts and rapeseed are planted. Many people in the village helped to do it. of.

Now that it was the harvest season, Su Chaoyang went to help for a day without saying a word, and then brazenly called Wang Ran and others, calling it a two-day farmhouse tour.

"Double-day tour in the countryside, farmhouse, fresh farm fruits and vegetables, swimming, mountain climbing, barbecue, cruise, everything, come or not?"

"Come on! Wait for me!"

"Bring more friends, and the whole process will be entertained for free."

As soon as I heard that the entertainment was free, and I only needed to pay the fare myself, Wang Ran yelled out that ten students from the class came immediately.

Familiar Lin Zhan, Xu Nan, Song Chenxi and many others.

When the group of people, led by Wang Ran, came to Su Chaoyang on a tractor from the town, looking at the endless fields and the handsome old man who had turned into an old farmer in the countryside, they fell silent collectively.

"Su Chaoyang! I'm protruding!"

The one who screamed the most was Wang Ran. He deeply felt that he was cheated.

"Why is my sister so delicate? What can I do if I go to the army? My brother is really worried. My sister listened to my brother's persuasion and quickly changed her choice. The military school is not suitable for my sister."

"You take one bite at a time, sister, do you want to fight?" Wang Ran became furious, and continued to tear the peanuts angrily. He didn't believe that the peanuts could still trouble him, so he boiled them all and ate them all!

Complaints are indispensable, but most of the students think it is fresh and fun. After all, it is an experience that has never been tried. Su Chaoyang personally paid for fresh chickens, ducks, fish, and various vegetables and fruits in the village, and burned a whole bunch of them with all his heart. Big table dinner.

After a busy day, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

In the clear starry sky in summer, the rural scenery is quiet and beautiful, the fireflies are flying, the frogs are chirping, strolling under the moonlight, enjoying a rare and pleasant time.

"The air is so nice." Lin Zhan and Su Chaoyang walked slowly on the country road. The others were still playing in the water and refused to get up. Their laughter could be heard far away.

"I remember when I was a child, I came here to live here at night. I didn't even need an electric fan. I moved out the bamboo bed door panels and put them together at the gate. I fell asleep in the night breeze. The frogs outside kept screaming. Grandpa took the cattail fan to drive me away. Mosquitoes, just like that It was very comfortable to sleep until dawn." Su Chaoyang recalled the past, and after thinking about it carefully, he could still remember many things.

"I have also slept on a bamboo bed. Now that I live in the city, I can't live without an air conditioner."

"The temperature in a city varies greatly. The dormitories of Wutong University do not have air-conditioning, and the dormitories can only rely on fans."

"That can't be helped."

The two were inexplicably silent. After a while, Su Chaoyang said, "I don't want to live in a dormitory. I only need to rest occasionally in the dormitory. I plan to rent a quieter apartment near the school. It will be comfortable and convenient for cooking every day."

Lin Zhan was surprised: "You hate eating out? It will be very tiring to cook by yourself every day."

"I really don't like eating out. I try to make my own three meals a day, so I will live outside."

"Just don't worry about trouble."

"Lin Zhan... Do you want to come out and live with me?"

Lin Zhan lowered his head in panic, his heart beating like a drum, living together... cohabiting?

"It's more convenient for me to take care of you. If you mind, we can bear the rent together." Su Chaoyang added.

Lin Zhan was still in a daze.

"It's really impossible. I'll give you the key. Come and play when you're free." Su Chaoyang sighed. Sometimes he didn't know what to do for the best. If he was too proactive, he would feel guilty. If he didn't take the initiative, he wouldn't know what to do. become what.

Lin Zhan breathed out: "I want to live in a dormitory, at least for a year as a freshman. But I will take time to accompany you..."

"That's enough." Su Chaoyang knew that he couldn't be impatient, he had to take his time in everything, at least he would be much freer after going to university.In fact, even if they live together, he will not be in a hurry, he just thinks that experiencing the life of two people will help them understand each other and cultivate their relationship.And I really want to take good care of Lin Zhan's body.

Lin Zhan took Su Chaoyang's hand: "I'm sorry, I always let you down, sometimes I'm scared..." I'm afraid that I won't be able to stick to this relationship in the end.

"When you grow up slowly, one day you will become courageous and capable of facing everything."

At the end of the month, Su Chaoyang received the admission notice, and going to Wutong University has become a certainty. Seeing the genuine notice, Su Da was filled with emotion.Once his dream was to be admitted to Uptown University, because all his elder brothers graduated from that university.

His son's grades are top-notch, and he selfishly hopes that his son can apply for Shangcheng University, so he even quarreled with him.

"Dad, don't you still want me to be admitted to City University? It's a done deal now." Seeing his father holding the notice with a complicated expression on his face, Su Chaoyang couldn't help muttering.

Su Da laughed and shook his head and nodded again: "For your sake, I still hope that you will study at Uptown University even at this moment. But the choice is your own choice. No matter what, Dad supports you."

The self who had been arguing endlessly about this seemed a bit ridiculous. At the beginning, he really planned to fight his son to the end. He didn't understand what his son was thinking. Why did he choose the second when there was a better one? It was not until his brother's words woke him up.

Looking at the notice in his hand now, he has no regrets, only a sense of pride.

As my elder brother said, Chaoyang is a filial and good boy...

With just such a son and such good test scores, although Su Da didn't have many relatives, he still happily sent out many invitations, inviting relatives and friends to have a wedding at Wutong Hotel on August 8th.

At this time, the uncle who was already far away in Malay heard the news, and he insisted on coming back to celebrate without asking for leave.

Su Chaoyang invited his classmates and teachers, not sure if everyone will come, but basically there are several tables.

He actually didn't want to have a drink, but he couldn't resist his father's rarity, and even gave him a strong reason to persuade him: our family has fewer happy events, and your father and I have given away a lot of favors over the years, and they never returned. !Finally, there is a pretext to hold a wine take-back ceremony, do you think Dad can do it?

Su Chaoyang made a final decision: Do it!Resolutely do not do loss-making business!

Preparations for the school entrance banquet were in full swing. On August [-]th, relatives and friends gathered at Wutong Hotel and set up ten tables.

Su Chaoyang, the client, led his classmates to sit obediently and wait for the dishes to be served. The food in the hotel was mediocre, and the young people's appetites couldn't be restrained.

"Su Chaoyang, have you notified Chen Luo?"

Someone asked Su Chaoyang loudly at the top of his head.

Su Chaoyang swallowed the food in his mouth and paused, Wang Ran answered: "Please, but unfortunately he is not free." When making an international long distance call, Chen Luo asked why Su Chaoyang himself didn't call?Wang Ran had no choice but to explain things to Su Chaoyang, but Chen Luo couldn't make up his mind after talking about it.Wang Ran couldn't understand why Su Chaoyang didn't invite him.

When Chen Luo was mentioned, everyone talked about it again, and no one could avoid a few words of admiration.Some people really feel pity for Su Chaoyang, especially the teachers at the next table, who are talking about today's master Su Chaoyang, praising and embarrassing.

"He's admitted to Uptown University, and he doesn't listen to any advice. What can he do if he's confirmed in Wutong University? This kid is too stubborn." Teacher A said.

"You should find his father to do work. Children's choices are sometimes impulsive."

"His father must be supportive, otherwise how can such a big matter be kept secret."

The noisy hall was full of people, Su Da suddenly walked onto the empty stage, picked up the microphone that had been prepared a long time ago: "Dear relatives and friends, you are welcome to come..."

The noisy diners quieted down, looked at the stage while eating, and heard Su Da say a lot of polite words, Su Chaoyang didn't care at all, and continued to eat, Wang Ran laughed: "Uncle Da's sword is not old, but he has a good eloquence I am not stage fright. There are not many uncles here who can speak so smoothly on stage. My dad usually does well in meetings, but when it comes to his own family, he is timid. If you don’t believe me, wait to see me serve wine. My dad will never go on stage. speak."

The old Wang at the next table gave his son a hard look, and Wang Ran quickly shut up.

"...Thank you for your support. Finally, I have something to say to my son Su Chaoyang..." Su Da paused at this point, and looked at the figures among the group of teenagers.

Su Chaoyang raised his head in surprise when he heard the sound, and looked at Su Da on the stage. What did his father want to say to him... These things he had never experienced before... Inevitably, Su Chaoyang became nervous and excited.

"Chaoyang. First of all, Dad is very grateful to you. Over the years, our father and son have supported you together. Sometimes, instead of saying that I helped you grow up, it is better to say that you gave me the cornerstone. You are more stable than many children, and you know what you want. Volunteering Our differences caused us to have quarrels." Su Da spoke slowly, keeping his gaze on Su Chaoyang.

Uncle Su at the front table smiled when he heard the sound, and nodded indistinctly. A child can never grow up without the company of his parents.Ashamed to express the inner world, you can't expect a teenage child to talk to you and tell everything without compromising his father's face.

"Every father wants the best for his children, and I do the same. It was my biggest dream for you to choose Uptown University."

Su Chaoyang listened intently to the sound on the stage, and chose to block everything that was unnecessary around him.The instinctive desire to hear more and more carefully came from the father's mood.

"Your choice made me feel disappointed and angry. I thought it was your immature decision. I tried to convince you through your most respected uncle..."

Uncle Su smiled slightly, and Su Chaoyang tilted his head nervously. What did his father and uncle say... It was really itchy.

Taciturn and introverted feelings are almost the portrayal of many fathers.Young teenagers are not afraid of anything, they are the generation who dare to speak their words of love, perhaps they need a more straightforward and bold way to let them understand that the relationship between father and son is not belittled by the "generation gap".Express each other frankly in a timely manner. It doesn't take anyone to go through ups and downs and winds and frosts before it's too late to understand that the one who understands you best in the world is your favorite parents.

"I thought your uncle would stand on the same front as me to persuade you." Su Da felt a little helpless.

"Your uncle said, I have a good son." Su Da laughed out of embarrassment.

Su Zhaoyang forgot to breathe, the shameful past made him feel sore. The good son his father has now is the result of his self-willedness and remorse.

The person who loves him the most in the world is the person he is most sorry for.

What he can't forgive Shang Zhongxing the most is his father's innocent early death.

Even if it was an indirect accident, he couldn't let it go, he couldn't forgive himself, and he also resented others.

Fortunately, those are a thing of the past.

He will work hard to change the future so that accidents never happen again.

"I read that old collection of poems..." Su Da took a deep breath, holding the thick collection of poems that had existed in the Su family for decades. It contained the notes of everyone in the Su family, recording every poem. Beloved poems, all kinds of languages ​​and emotions are all-encompassing.

Su Zhaoyang held his breath. His busy father hadn't read that book of poems for a long, long time. On the contrary, he occasionally took it out to read, and there was only one poem recorded by himself...

"The moment I opened the collection of poems, there are only a few dozen words, and what is there that I don't understand as a father."

"Chaoyang, you have grown up."

The day before yesterday / I came home from school / there was a bowl of oil-salt rice in the pot

Yesterday / I came home from school / there was no bowl of oil-salt rice in the pot

Today/I came home from school/fried a bowl of oil and salt rice/put it in front of my mother’s grave

The author is unknown. When Su Chaoyang saw this poem, he had already returned to his hometown from Malay. He was standing in front of his father’s grass-grown grave. The power of dozens of words made him cry bitterly. Forget about not cherishing yourself.

I choose to be with him, but I don't want my father to be too lonely.

Money, status, honor, nothing can replace the warmth of holding hands.

Because he was lonely, he lacked more love than before.

In a mansion far overseas, I watched the last scene alone in front of the computer.

The young man got up suddenly and walked to the window, looking at the gray sky outside the house with empty eyes.

Just like that day, after a ten-year absence, he finally walked under the blue sky of freedom.

He thought he would be bathed in sunshine again.

There was a cloud over his head.

Again, I never told you...

Ten years ago, Su Chaoyang's father was hit by a car and died... the day he was injured and hospitalized.

After the dark clouds parted, the rain poured down.

Just like every day in London at this moment, the eyes are blurred by the misty rain.

"Su Chaoyang, Uncle Da, I plan to resign as a network administrator. I've already bought a plane ticket and will fly back to England tomorrow."

In the Internet cafe, Song Chenxi sincerely apologized to the big and small bosses.

The two were quite surprised, "Yes, yes, why did you suddenly return to England?"

Song Chenxi scratched her ears embarrassingly: "I haven't been able to sleep since I came back from the hotel yesterday. I kept thinking about what Uncle Da said and that short but shocking poem in my mind. I understand its meaning. Meaning, there is a saying in China that a child wants to be raised but not loved... I want to go back to England to be with my mother, even if she hates me, scolds me, beats me and drives me away, I am not going to come back unless she is with me. "

Su Chaoyang and his son took a deep breath and fell silent.

Song Chenxi smiled: "Thank you father and son for making me understand a lot, Uncle Da, thank you, your son Chaoyang has grown up, and I have grown up, too, right?"

"That's right..." Su Da patted his head, "Go back and stay with your mother at ease, it's impossible for her not to love you, and what she needs most at this time is actually you."

"You should have done this a long time ago, but when your mother recovers, remember to come back and finish high school! Try to get admitted to the Chinese language major you have in mind." Su Chaoyang strongly supported it.

"Hahaha, I will."

The next day, Su Chaoyang woke up, made a few phone calls to call his best friends and went straight to the airport.

Before boarding the plane, he finally found Song Chenxi who was leaving.

"You are all here..." Song Chenxi looked at everyone in surprise. He didn't tell anyone else, except his uncle's family and Su Chaoyang and his son. He probably won't be back for a long time. A year can be several years...or even never come back.His strong reluctance to return to his mother had the upper hand, which made him even more reluctant to say goodbye face to face.The time he spent back home was short, but it was the happiest time for him.

"You kid didn't tell me you were leaving?" Wang Ran viciously pulled his ear.

"It's not uncommon to tell you. Besides hurting me, what good things have you done?"

"The brat is still quibbling, Wang Ran is not counted, Brother Nan, how dare you ignore me? Is it difficult to say goodbye? At least let me know that you have returned to England and not been kidnapped by some nympho."

"Brother Nan, I was wrong, I will send you chocolates for Christmas in the future!"

"Who cares! Brother has no shortage of that, send Brother Nan an English boyfriend and I'll spare you..."

"Hey, brother Nan, are you gay?"

"Fuck you!"

"Take care." Lin Zhan didn't say much, looked at Song Chenxi and said goodbye with a smile. Although it was a farewell, he was happy for him in his heart.The little ghost who has always been cheerful, I hope he will have a life without worries.

"Captain, take care too!" Saying goodbye one by one, Song Chenxi's eyes turned red, and he hugged Lin Zhan: "Captain, if you have anemia, you must pay attention to your health. Your health is more important than anything else. All the happiness of your family is inseparable." open you."

Lin Zhan's heart moved, he didn't expect him to say these words, "Thank you for your advice, I will not treat myself badly."

Song Chenxi hugged Su Chaoyang again, with a full face of reluctance: "You are the first friend I met after returning to China, just like my brother who always takes care of me and helps me...I..."

Attention passengers...

The repeated female voice on the radio resounded through the airport. Song Chenxi waved goodbye reluctantly. The back of the suitcase dragging away slowly was no longer the same as when he came here. When he didn't pay attention, the child of that year had grown up. , tall and strong.
