The Prosperous Years of Wang Xiaohuo

In the past many years, Wang Xiaohuo still has lingering fears in the memory of Ouyang Lin's angry slap at that time. Looking back at him now, it's not that he doesn't know how to love other than being young and frivolous, but Ouyang Lin's deep love. The expression was beyond my comprehension and comprehension back then.When all the greenness has faded away, time has passed. If time can be turned back, will I still hurt each other's feelings with ignorance and anger?Wang Xiaohuo sighed unceasingly. Many things in life can only be understood right or wrong after going through it. The future is unpredictable, just like the past has passed, and any regret afterwards is futile.

This morning, Wang Xiaohuo finished the work in hand, poured a cup of tea, lit a cigarette, and was puffing. up.

"Who are you looking for?" Xiao Liu asked.

"Look for him." The visitor smiled and pointed to Wang Xiaohuo.

Looking at him, Wang Xiaohuo's eyes were a little bit astringent, he lowered his head slowly, fingered through several documents on the table, and asked in a calm voice, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, I just wanted to come over to see if you were here."

Wang Xiaohuo responded, but didn't say anything more.

"Drink water." Xiao Liu poured a glass of water and handed it over. The visitor thanked him and said, "I'm not busy, just sit and go."

Seeing Wang Xiaohuo staring at the table silently, thinking that there was something important to discuss between them, Xiao Liu found an excuse to go out, and when he left, someone came to ask: "Xiaohuo, are you busy today?"

"It's okay, what's the matter?" Wang Xiaohuo raised his head and looked at the visitor again.

I haven't seen him gain weight for a few years, and there is a lot of dust on his handsome face, but his eyes are still so melancholy and profound.

"I just came back from out of town today, and I want to come and see you."

"Really?" Wang Xiaohuo laughed dryly twice.

"Smoking." The visitor took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, tore them open, and took out one. During the delivery process, it suddenly fell to the ground, and he hurriedly went to pick it up again.

"Yes." Wang Xiaohuo waved his hand as a signal, then lowered his head and continued to scratch the papers.

"You save this bag and smoke it slowly." The person who came put the bag on the corner of the table, endured it for a while, and said, "I have something to go on."

"okay."

"Then, you, you take care."

"Yes!" Wang Xiaohuo replied while passing the cigarette to his mouth, obviously very calm, but why did his hands shake so much?Hearing the sound of footsteps slowly walking out of the room, he finally couldn't help it. A figure turned left at the door and was about to disappear.

"Ouyang Lin! Stop!" Wang Xiaohuo threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, stood up, and hurried to catch up.

His back stopped at the door, Ouyang Lin turned his head slowly, with red eyes, he said, "Xiao Huo, so you still remember me."

"Go out and talk." Wang Xiaohuo dropped a sentence, and passed him like a whirlwind.

The street is still the same street, and the towering sycamore trees are still the same, but the trees are taller and the branches are thicker.

"I haven't been back for several years, and many places have changed." Ouyang Lin said with emotion to the car window.

Wang Xiaohuo drove with a gloomy face, and soon came to a remote place by the river, stopped and walked down.Ouyang Lin followed behind him.Along the abandoned pier, the two came to the riverside. The rushing water beat against the stranded stones, and Wang Xiaohuo's heart fluctuated accordingly.

"How are you doing?" Ouyang Lin asked in a low voice.

"Okay, everything is fine."

"Okay, that's fine."

"What about you?"

"The whole world is home, and one is at ease."

At this time, a wave opened a flower in front of Wang Xiaohuo's feet.

"Why did you leave me?" Wang Xiaohuo also had a hole in his chest.

"Xiao Huo, I'm sorry."

"Why?" Wang Xiaohuo asked heavily.

"I……"

"Why come back now?" Wang Xiaohuo broke out completely, the long-simmering unwillingness and confusion, pain and suffering spurted out from the depths of his memory, his eyes were blown into sand, stinging in pain, he said in a low voice: "Ouyang Lin, you left as soon as you left. Why do you need to come back? Why do you need to appear in front of me again? Do you think I still have the strength to face you and the past?"

"I'm sorry." Ouyang Lin said choked up.

"I'm sorry? Just a single sorry can make up for the pain in my heart for several years, can it make up for the marriage I insisted on, can it make up for the torment of missing me day after day? Ouyang Lin, in fact, you are worthy of me, you let me have Marriage, having a family, having children, and having a future, but is all this what I want? I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't be naive, I shouldn't listen to your promise, I shouldn't let go of your hand... ..." Wang Xiaohuo complained incoherently.

"Xiaohuo, don't, don't talk about it, I..." Ouyang Lin hugged him.

"Release! I want to say!" Wang Xiaohuo pushed him away forcefully, and continued: "Do you know that I went back to our house to look for you, but the door lock couldn't be unlocked. I found out after asking, that you actually resigned from the unit. I'm stupid, I hate myself so much, I heard you say that as long as I get married, I will still be by your side, I searched everywhere, I didn't know this or that, I ran to the train station, bus station, on the road I was running around like a headless chicken, praying in my heart that God would have mercy on me, let me meet you, let me ask you clearly, let me give up..." At this point, Wang Xiaohuo broke down in tears: "In those few days, I ran every day. When I went to the river, I made a stupid idea..."

"I was wrong." Ouyang Lin trembled all over.

"I'm going to commit suicide, and it's done once and for all, but what about the old parents? What about the wife who just got married? I can't leave them and let innocent people bear the responsibility, and I think what if one day you come back and can't see me? I can't bear it, I must not do stupid things, I want to live happily in the eyes of outsiders, sometimes I can't hold back anymore, I just hide behind my back and cry alone, and I feel comfortable."

"Xiao Huo, don't, don't talk..." Ouyang Lin begged.

"Time is minute by minute, day by day, month by month, year by year, after so long, I'm used to it, I won't shed tears anymore, no matter how hard... no matter how hard... Brother, why do you want to come back? You Do you know that I have been holding back for so many years? Why did you come back... Do you know that I have been waiting so hard." Wang Xiaohuo said in a hoarse voice.

"I also live like years..."

"In fact, sometimes I also wonder, what qualifications do I have to ask you to stay with me all the time, even if you are married, you will have someone to accompany you at home, but you are still alone, you are for my good, always think of me, for me plan, but after all, I have my own thoughts, feelings, and life I want, and it seems that I don't understand the truth when these things come to you, either suppressing or ordering."

"I know I've expressed myself in the wrong way."

"There were some things I couldn't see through in the past, and it's too late to be clear now. If I could understand earlier, I wouldn't have to go through many unnecessary twists and turns and pain."

"Many times in life, you can't let yourself decide as you want."

"But you clearly promised to stay with me all the time, why did you break the contract?"

Ouyang Lin was silent for a while, and said, "You have a new life, and I also need a new start."

"Now you are still going to hide it from me? If you plan to start over, why come back to me after so many years? Aren't you afraid of repeating the same mistakes?"

Ouyang Lin buried his head in silence, Wang Xiaohuo continued: "I know the reason, I know everything."

"you know?"

"Uncle forced you, he forced you to leave and disappear from my life completely!"

"No." Ouyang Lin denied.

"And I know better that the person you love in your heart is not me at all!" Wang Xiaohuo said word by word: "The person you love is uncle."

Ouyang Lin trembled as if bitten by a snake, and blurted out: "No!"

Wang Xiaohuo turned his gaze away from him to the opposite bank, and said: "Actually, when we first met, I had a feeling of being a shadow. Later, as the relationship deepened, this feeling was gradually forgotten until you came out of thin air. After disappearing, I slowly realized that the person you love in your heart is not me, you just mistook me for someone else. Do you remember that you mentioned that I was very kind when we first met? Yes, the younger elders all Said that I look very much like my uncle when he was young..."

"Xiao Huo, it's you I love, it's you!" Ouyang Lin interrupted.

The scenery on the other side became blurred. Wang Xiaohuo took a deep breath, and then let it out. After a while, he calmly asked: "It doesn't matter who it is. Now I only care about when you come back this time and leave?"

"Don't go."

Wang Xiaohuo turned his head to look at Ouyang Lin, as if he wanted to catch some kind of answer from his expression, Ouyang Lin kept his expression on, and said: "I ran away once, this time I won't run away again, it's time to fulfill my promise."

"Promise? The promise was canceled long ago with your departure."

"For me, it's always stuck in my heart."

"Things have changed, you are no longer the old Ouyang Lin, and I am no longer the ignorant, frivolous and reckless Wang Xiaohuo in the past."

"Xiao Huo, you have changed, you have become more mature and steady."

"People have to grow up eventually, not to mention that I have a family and children now."

"Don't worry, I won't affect your normal life, let alone destroy your family."

"Do you think I'm going to worry about it? Why wait until now if you're going to do it?"

"That's good, I've always been afraid of being rejected by you."

"If possible, I would rather choose to refuse, but I can't do it. I have been tortured by lovesickness for so many years, and I am tired. Now I know that you are safe and healthy. When I want to meet and chat, I am satisfied. .As for other things, I don’t dare to expect too much.”

"Xiaohuo, thank you."

"Thank you? Do we still need to talk about this?" His eyes met, Wang Xiaohuo seemed to have returned to the past, he smiled and said, "Go home for dinner today."

"I... I just came back, and the old house was given to my ex-wife when I left..." Ouyang Lin showed embarrassment.

"It's my home."

"It's not very convenient!"

"What's the inconvenience? You know Fangfang again. You haven't seen your nephew since he was born."

"I added a son, I didn't see it, it's pretty good."

"This year is 3 years old, very naughty, and he doesn't recognize his life. When I see you, my uncle, I will definitely cling to him and play with him."

Ouyang Lin chuckled twice, and asked, "Should we buy something for the child when we meet for the first time?"

"No, the house is complete with everything to eat and use. Besides, are you afraid that there will be no place to spend money in the future?" Wang Xiaohuo took out his phone, dialed and said, "Fang, brother Ouyang came back from other places today, I'll invite him to have dinner at home... Going outside?" Wang Xiaohuo glanced at Ouyang Lin and saw him waving his hands, so he said, "Forget it, brother Ouyang is not an outsider, he will have a light meal at home at noon today, and then go out in the evening... I'll be with him, you don't need to buy vegetables , I’ll buy it later and take it home, you remember to take the tiger home, Brother Ouyang wants to hug him.”

When Wang Xiaohuo hung up the phone, Ouyang Lin said, "Eat whatever you have at home, don't buy vegetables."

"You used to live and eat and drink for nothing, so I should pay you back now!"

"Then, then I'll be disrespectful and cheeky."

Wang Xiaohuo rolled his eyes at him and said, "Be polite with me? Remember, my home will be your home from now on!"

The two bought vegetables and returned home. Wang Xiaohuo took off his coat and got into the kitchen to get busy. Ouyang Lin got in several times and was kicked out by him. He had no choice but to sit in the living room and watch TV. After a while, Wang Xiaohuo's wife Xu When Fang came back with her son, Ouyang Lin rushed over to say hello, Xu Fang led her son to say hello, Wang Xiaohuo poked his head out from the kitchen and asked, "Why did you come back so early?"

"Brother Ouyang is here, so I'll come back early to prepare." Xu Fang said with a smile, she went into the kitchen and kicked Wang Xiaohuo out, saying, "Brother Ouyang hasn't seen you for a few years, why don't you hurry up and accompany him..."

"Aren't I busy cooking and cooking?"

"I don't want you to do anything today, lest brother Ouyang secretly tease you for not marrying a good wife." Xu Fang covered her mouth and snickered.

"Where did my brother and sister say that Wang Xiaohuo was lucky to marry you in eight lifetimes? If he doesn't listen to me and tell me, he will be obedient if I don't slap me."

"He, he was born in the blessings and doesn't know the blessings. Have you heard that, if he dares to speak up again in the future, I will sue Brother Ouyang and see if he doesn't punish you."

"Don't hit daddy!" At this moment, Huzi, who had always been quiet, suddenly shouted.

Everyone was taken aback, seeing the serious expression on his childish face, very cute, Ouyang Lin bent down and hugged him in his arms, and asked, "Why are you not allowed to hit him?"

Huzi blinked and stared at the three adults one by one, and finally said: "Father is Huzi's father, only Huzi is allowed to beat Dad."

Ouyang Lin and Xu Fang roared with laughter, leaving Wang Xiaohuo embarrassed.

"Huzi, uncle asks you, who is your father and mother?" Ouyang Lin sat on the sofa and put him on his lap to tease him and asked.

"all good."

"Is that better for father or better for mother?"

Huzi tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and said, "Daddy is better than mom when he doesn't lose his temper."

"Nonsense, when did Dad lose his temper? If he talks nonsense again, he will be spanked, you know!" Wang Xiaohuo said threateningly, raising his palm.

The corner of Huzi's mouth twitched, and he said: "Huzi has grandparents to protect Huzi, Huzi is not afraid of Dad."

"What are you doing to scare the child? Huzi is not afraid, with uncle around, if daddy wants to beat you, uncle will beat him, you know?"

"Brother, you all spoil him like this, I can't teach him in the future."

"Aren't you spoiled?" Ouyang Lin said casually.

Wang Xiaohuo blushed, Huzi suddenly shouted: "I want to play with cars." Then he broke free from Ouyang Lin's lap and ran away.

Ouyang Lin stared at Huzi's back, and sighed, "I see this kid has the same temper as you, and he's also a stubborn donkey."

The sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen, Wang Xiaohuo lit a cigarette, Ouyang Lin frowned and said, "Smoking less."

"I don't smoke much."

Ouyang Lin took a sip from his cup and asked, "Is your uncle okay?"

"It's okay, there's nothing wrong with your body."

"Where's Zhou, Zhou Bin?"
