Grandpa Huo's operation was successful this time, but his body was too weak. He lay in the intensive care unit for more than a week before waking up. After another week, he was transferred to the inpatient ward.

When Huo Yan was in Liancheng, he kept in touch with Fang Junrou or his grandfather. After Huo’s grandfather woke up from the operation, he also made video calls every day. Because the old man couldn’t use the mobile phone for too long, every time the video was hung up after about 5 minutes, sometimes Huo Yan talked about the interesting stories between himself and Gu Liang, what he ate and what he did, the old man often gave him advice on how to gain a good impression in front of Fang Ping, and sometimes he and Gu Liang listened to his grandfather talking about his past. , I miss my comrades-in-arms, and my children and grandchildren when they were young.

The older you get, the more you miss the past. Fang Junrou said that when the old man was alone, he would always look at the photos of his grandma. He said that he should look more now, otherwise he was afraid that he would suffer from dementia in the future and forget about her. Huo Yan Feeling sad for a while, but helpless.

Huo Yan learned from Zhuang Xiao in the morning, and came back to eat with the old man in the afternoon. When the old man was resting, he would review the daily tasks that Gu Liang gave him in the next room.

Zhuang Xiao's resolute and decisive actions in the mall, Huo Yan's sincere admiration for every decision, made him more determined to learn from Zhuang Xiao's side. The next day after the contract was negotiated, Zhuang Xiao came to see Mr. Take an evening flight back.

Because Huo Yan is here, Zhuang Xiao came here to discuss the business in person. The most important thing is for her to confirm whether the Huo family really agrees with Huo Yan's future entry into the business world. It is impossible to just throw it away, someone has to inherit it, and in this generation, only Huo Yan is left.

Zhuang Xiao planned to talk to Grandpa Huo and Huo Ting face to face. Grandpa Huo stopped Fang Junrou when he was about to call Huo Ting.

"He wants to learn from you, so let him follow you," the old man said slowly.

Zhuang Xiao glanced at Huo Yan who was standing beside him without saying a word, and then at Fang Junrou who was hesitant, but said nothing.

"Dad," Fang Junrou said, "For such a big matter, you should always discuss it with Brother Ting."

The old man's voice was calm and he could not refute, "You don't need to discuss it with him. I can still handle this matter."

"After all, this is related to Xiao Yan's future life," Fang Junrou patiently persuaded, "He is young, so he can do whatever he wants."

The old man looked at her suspiciously. He didn't understand how the person who was on the same front as him would go back on his word. Fang Junrou saw his eyes and sighed, "I didn't mean to listen to Brother Ting. I just think it's a big deal. We need to sit down." Come down and discuss it carefully, after all, it is about Xiao Yan's future."

On the one hand, Fang Junrou was worried that Huo Ting would not agree to this matter and would end up in a stalemate with the master; Huo Yan's ability, if Huo Yan joins the army, the road to promotion will be a green light, and he will be an individual in the future. Compared with these two, Fang Junrou hopes that this decision must be made after multiple considerations and familiarity with him.

Hey, Fang Junrou herself is a little confused, which side she wants to stand on.

Zhuang Xiao looked at her and smiled, "Aunt Fang, Huo Yan is an adult, he can make up his own mind about some things, Huo Ting, I think I need your help to say a few words, our dealer has only one meaning, Enlisting is not as good as joining the army, it depends on his own choice, Huo Yan's future will be decided by himself."

Fang Junrou wanted to say something else, but the old man said first, "That's it, isn't there a younger son? If he has the ability, let Huo Ting teach a good boy like the Chu family's Chu Yan."

Fang Junrou naturally knew that the "little son" that the old man was talking about was the one in her own stomach. She glanced at Huo Yan who was standing aside silently pouring out the medicine that the old man was about to take, and sighed secretly.

In fact, she was not pregnant that day in the old house, so she could only think of a way to help Huo Yan in desperation. Later, she didn't take protective measures, and she confessed to Huo Ting when she was really pregnant. Huo Ting looked at her, didn't say anything, and went back that night The army left, went out on a mission the next day, and didn't come back for more than a month.

Therefore, she can know Huo Ting's attitude towards this child. She never thought that he came to this world, but when he really came, he would not refuse. He is a father, but he might not give this child too much attention and love After all, the birth of this child made him feel that he was losing money even more to Huo Yan's mother and son.

Fang Junrou gently touched her stomach, it's okay, she just loves this child very much, and it's up to him whether he enlists in the army or not, but at least the Huo family will not force Huo Yan with the reason of having no offspring.

When Huo Yan was about to leave with Zhuang Xiao that night, he took Grandpa Huo's hand and put it in his own, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Grandpa."

The old man smiled and raised his other hand. Huo Yan put his head on it. Grandpa Huo rubbed his head, "Bad boy, I'm your grandpa. Thank you for what you said. You study hard and work hard. Grandpa believes in you."

"En." Huo Yan nodded.

"Also, you must treat that child Gu Liang well." Grandpa Huo patted Huo Yan's head lightly, "That's a good boy. When I meet you, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

"Fu, it must be a blessing, I will be the best person in the whole world to him." Huo Yan promised with a smile.

The old man also smiled, "Okay, then go, come back and see grandpa when you have time."

"it is good."

When Huo Yan walked out of the room, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Xiao Yan, your mother's birthday is coming soon, let's go and see it this year."

Huo Yan paused, turned around after a while, "Well, I will go."

Huo Yan's mother's birthday is just these few days, and the old man has been keeping it in his heart. He wanted to remind him but was afraid that it would make him unhappy like in previous years. As a result, he got a reply to this sentence before he left tonight.

The old man, who didn't shed much tears when his wife left, had a sore nose and moist eyes at this moment. He couldn't help nodding, "Okay, go, send a message to grandpa when we arrive."

The first thing Huo Ting did when he came back from his travel mission was to have someone take Huo Yan back to his old house. Huo Yan didn't resist. After explaining what he had done, he asked someone to ask Mr. Zhuang Xiaozhuang for two days' leave and follow Huo Ting The guards around him left.

In the old house of the Huo family, the first time Huo Ting saw Huo Yan, he said with a gloomy face that he would never agree to enter the business world.

Huo Yan stared at Huo Ting for a while, then suddenly sneered, the laughter was full of disdain and contempt, Huo Ting was furious.

"Huo Ting, if I could choose again, I really don't want to have anything to do with you, but I have no choice, anyway, I'm bleeding with your blood" Huo Yan was not afraid of Huo Tingsen's furious expression, and spoke mercilessly, " People like you are cold-blooded, ruthless, selfish, and thinking of doing good for others, you are actually satisfying your own selfish desires. I want to join the army because I don’t want you to pass on the things you have worked so hard for half your life, let alone for me. My future, my future, I decide for myself."

Huo Ting looked stiff, and Huo Yan continued, "Knowing that Fang Junrou is pregnant, you chose to take the mission because you feel sorry for me and my mother. Actually, you don't need it. You have been sorry for a long time. When my mother was pregnant with me, you never stayed with her For a few days, it was because you did have a task and had no choice. Now that you are in this position, have you not made a choice yet?

"Not only are you sorry for me and my mother, but you are also sorry for Fang Junrou. Don't think that you have made up for it all these years. If something is broken, it is broken. If it is gone, it is gone. It can't be mended."

"She's pregnant, you don't hate me." Huo Ting stared at Huo Yan.

"I hate you, but it's really not because of this. My mother is because of you participating in that experiment, and my grandma's car accident is also because of your opponent." Huo Yan laughed, "I put the blame on you, anyway, you are not wronged." .”

"I enlisted you in the army for your own good." Huo Ting closed his eyes and opened them again, not talking about that topic.

"I don't need you to be good for me. I know who I want to be and what life I want to live." Huo Yan's eyes were sharp, "I know what you think about wanting me to join the army. At this point, the Huo family will not It is impossible to get out of the whole body, but I am selfish, I don't want to give up my life because of this cold home.

"I want to eat with the person I like, sleep together, spend every festival together, no matter happy or sad, I will be by his side, share the burden with him, I don't want to get together with him less often, I don't want him to be there all the time Worried about me, I'm afraid he'll be sad, I'm afraid he'll lose sleep," Huo Yan said, "I can't bear him."

His tone gradually calmed down, but the simplest words made a crack in Huo Ting's cold and serious mask, revealing the deep guilt inside.

Huo Ting slowly sat back on the sofa, showing a rare sign of fatigue, and his neat military uniform seemed to be wrinkled.

Huo Yan looked at him for a while, then sat across from him, "I know why you married Fang Junrou back then, she treated me very well, even this pregnancy, she still feels that I have a younger brother, you and the family can Agree with me and Gu Liang."

This was the first time Huo Yan showed Junrou's kind attitude. Huo Ting raised his eyes to look at him, and his eyes had regained their former composure.

"I'm leaving, there is still something to do in the company."

Huo Yan left, but Huo Ting didn't stop him.

Five days later, at the entrance of the cemetery, Huo Ting, who was holding a bouquet of pink baby's breath, met Huo Yan, who was also holding a bunch of pink baby's breath.

Huo Ting froze in place.

Huo Yan was also stunned, partly because he knew that Huo Ting would come, but he didn't know it was today, and partly because it was the first time he saw Huo Ting without military uniform since he grew up.

The man wore a brown windbreaker and a light-colored scarf. He seemed to have been carefully tidied up. The cold wind blew through, bringing a scent of fragrance. The man even wore perfume.

The father and son looked at each other and didn't speak. When Huo Ting wanted to speak, Huo Yan had already walked towards the cemetery. He followed, and there was a distance of more than one meter between them.

Standing in front of the tomb, looking at the beautiful and gentle woman on the tombstone, the two put down the flowers one after the other, the cold wind blew past, and the transparent bags tied with flowers rattled side by side.

Because Huo Yan had never been here before, this time he came here, he felt mixed feelings and was not at peace. He didn't know what to say for a while. Huo Ting took out a box of small cakes from his pocket and put them in front of the grave. Huo Yan recognized that it was his mother. Favorite brand.

Huo Ting spoke first. Looking at the photo on the tombstone, he said that their family was finally reunited.

Huo Yan's heart suddenly wrinkled.

In fact, tomorrow is his mother's birthday, but every birthday is because of the banker, because of the Huo family, there are a lot of people who come to get involved, and the whole family can't have a good meal together, so every time his mother will put the birthday One day in advance, the three of them had dinner together, watched a movie together or went out for a walk after eating, but he hadn't had this kind of day for a long time.

It's been so long that I almost thought it was a matter of my previous life.

After Huo Ting said this, Huo Yan knew that the original agreement was still there, and every year on this day, he would be missing from the family.

His mother loves Huo Ting more than him, but at the same time, he loves Gu Liang more than everything else. He figured it out. He figured it out when he went to find Gu Liang that time. The reason why he hasn't come yet , but also timid, afraid.

He hated that Huo Ting didn't show up at the funeral, but he also hated himself for not showing up for ridiculous reasons.

Even though Huo Ting didn't wear the military uniform, his stern personality remained unchanged. It was like giving a report. He told about Fang Junrou's pregnancy and the success of the old man's surgery. , don't worry, stood up, patted Huo Yan on the shoulder, "Talk to your mother." After speaking, he went to the side.

After a while, Huo Yan walked up to him, "I told my mother about Gu Liang and I."

"Yes." Huo Ting lifted his foot and walked down.

Huo Yan followed and stood side by side with him, "I also said that I want to take the National People's Congress."

Huo Ting put his hands in his pockets and kept walking. He was silent for a while and asked, "Have you decided on a major?"

Hearing this, Huo Yan twitched his lips, "Let's manage the economy. I want to do a good job of what my mother left me."

Huo Ting didn't speak anymore, the two father and son just walked to the gate of the cemetery, Huo Yan and him both came by car, when they parted, Huo Yan called to stop Huo Ting.

"dad."

Huo Ting yelled "Dad", he was shocked, stopped in his tracks, and turned around after a while.

"Let's make up." Huo Yan walked in front of him, "You don't feel much better than me about the matter of mother and grandma. I have been self-willed these years, I'm sorry."

The always majestic, resolute and unyielding military circle stared coldly at Hades, his heart trembled, and the circles of his eyes were a little red.

"I don't hate Fang Junrou. She is pregnant now. She is my younger brother. Treat her well and treat your son well." Huo Yan left after speaking, leaving Huo Ting there, looking at the tombstone among the many tombstones on the mountain. a certain direction.

In the evening, Gu Liang was watching TV with his mother in the living room. The two of them were discussing the plot in it. You said something and I responded. When you disagreed, you shook your head and said your own point of view. It was not heated or argued, and the atmosphere was good. .

Suddenly Gu Liang's phone rang, he picked it up to look, and then looked up to find his mother staring at him closely.

Gu Liang smiled apologetically at her, put on the cotton slippers, and ran to the bedroom.

Fang Ping: "..."

Huo Yan's voice on the other end of the phone was full of grievances and asked: "Why didn't you call me? Is it because I don't call you, so you don't call?"

Gu Liang lay on the bed, laughed, "Wait a minute." After speaking, he hung up.

Huo Yan nestled on the sofa, holding the mobile phone in one hand and a can of beer in the other. Seeing that the mobile phone had hung up, just as he was about to call again, Gu Liang made a video call.

He is happy and connected.

The person on the phone frowned, "I just watched TV with my mother," he propped his chin, and asked softly, "And you, what are you doing?"

Huo Yan raised the beer in his hand towards the camera, and smiled: "Drink," he lamented, "You're not here, I really want to hug you."

Seeing that he didn't look sad, Gu Liang felt relieved, "Why are you drinking suddenly?"

Huo Yan said: "I went to see my mother today."

Gu Liang said "um", with a quiet and gentle voice, listening patiently without asking anything, seeing Huo Yan looking up, taking a few sips of wine before stopping him, "Drink less, drink slowly. "

Huo Yan raised his hand and threw it away, and he accurately threw the empty soda can into the trash can.

"I told my mother about our being together, she should like you very much."

"Well," Gu Liang said, "I will also like her very much."

Huo Yan was silent for a while, "You never said you like me very much."

"Well, I don't like you," Gu Liang paused badly, and then said, "I love you."

"I knew you were going to say that," Huo Yan smiled, touching his heart, "However, it still beats fast here, and I love you too."

"I also know what you want to say." Gu Liang imitated him, putting his hands on his heart, "It's also beating very fast here."

Huo Yan just stared at Gu Liang, and the inexplicable uncomfortable feeling in his heart dissipated a lot. After a while, he said, "I reconciled with Huo Ting, and I asked him to treat Fang Junrou and me well" brother '." Huo Yan scratched his head a little irritably, "But I think if he really treats my 'brother' very well, plays with him, eats with him, holds parent-teacher meetings for him, and signs his report card, I will Very unhappy, very sad, very annoying, is it not good for me to be like this?"

Gu Liang really thought about it, and then said, "It's a bit bad."

Huo Yan: "..."

Alcohol paralyzed Huo Yan's nerves, but he was not drunk. He used alcohol to express his deepest thoughts in front of the person he loved most. He wanted to get a few words of comfort, but the person he liked didn't stand by him. Here, he was a bit confused and couldn't turn around, but he still wanted not to leave a bad impression, so he opened his mouth to explain a few words for himself: "I'm not very unhappy, just a little..."

Gu Liang said: "You should be unhappy. He is also your father. He didn't treat you like this when he was a child. Why should he treat that child? As a father, you must be fair."

Huo Yan was a little taken aback: "Yes, you are right, but, but."

"There's nothing but, don't give him a chance." Gu Liang said.

"Ah?" Huo Yan's head was a little foggy, and at first he was so entangled and sad that he didn't even think about it.

"You play with him, eat with him, open the parent meeting for him, sign the report card, and don't give him a chance to be a good father."

"I...I," Huo Yan didn't know what to say, his head was a little dizzy, and the alcohol was coming up.

"Brother Yan, as long as it's not illegal, you can do whatever you want, and I support you."

"But I don't want to eat and play with me, and I even hold parent-teacher meetings, like raising a son." Huo Yan's voice faded away.

"Then I won't accompany you." Gu Liang said.

"Well...not with him...with you." After finishing the last word, Huo Yan had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

Gu Liang looked at it for a while, smiled and whispered "good night", hung up the phone, opened the address book, dialed the number Zheng Siwei left on Huo Yan's birthday, asked him to visit Huo Yan, and fell asleep Don't catch a cold.

Looking at the hot scene around him, Zheng Siwei endured and did not refuse Gu Liang's behavior of feeling sorry for his brother, "Okay, got it."

"Keep your voice down when you enter the door," Gu Liang reminded, "Don't wake him up."

"Hey, I got it," Zheng Siwei complained while shaking the car keys, "Look, it's for your baby."

"Thank you."
