i'm not a bad man

Chapter 421 I'm Back
The lonely figure stopped because of my shout. He looked around and finally saw me standing under the street lamp. I also looked at him. There were many wrinkles on his face and the hair on his temples. Even the confident and sharp eyes before have become forbearing, evasive, and muddy...

"dad!"

I took steps and ran towards him, and then he really looked at me, looking at me like a father looking at his son. The corners of his mouth were trembling, and his body was also trembling...

Four years, four years later, our father and son finally met in this snow-covered city; at this moment, the feelings I thought I would never be able to let go of seemed less tormenting, and there was only one thing left in my heart. The voice told me over and over again that he was my father, my relative whose blood is thicker than water.

He raised his hand tremblingly and tried to touch me. He seemed not to believe that what he was seeing was real.

I stretched out my hand to hold his arm and said with a choked sob: "Dad, I have been waiting for you here for three days. A classmate saw you at this scrap collection station... I didn't expect that I would really wait for you!"

"you……"

He seemed to have lost the ability to speak, but he held my arm tighter, and then he shed tears. This was the first time I saw him shed tears since I became sensible, even on the day he was taken away by the police. , even though his home was in ruins, he never shed a tear; I still remember that on the evening when he was taken away by the police for investigation, he just kept telling me and my mother that it would definitely pass and he would definitely get better. I want us two to have a good time.

I'm sure he didn't cry that day, he was just a little panicked, but at this moment, his tears were so real...

Four years can really change everything about a person, including his state of mind and his emotions.

Under his gaze, I finally spoke to him again: "Dad, are you and my mother okay?"

His eyes became complicated, as if he was remembering his experiences over the years, and I asked too much. If they were living well, I wouldn't see him here.

"We...we're okay..."

This was a word of comfort, and the purpose was to make me feel less guilty, but I felt even worse. After being silent for a long time, I asked, "Why are you walking out so late alone?"

"I had a few arguments with your mother... She said that I pushed you too hard... In the past few years, she has been nagging me about this matter... Dad regrets it too!" At this point, his other side He also held me tightly with one hand, and said to me with choked sobs: "Son, it was Dad's fault. Dad is sorry for you..."

This sentence completely broke my psychological defense, so that my nose became sore and I shed tears; I have dreamed about the scene after we met countless times in my dreams, but I never dreamed about what he did after meeting. The first thing they did was to apologize to me; I can no longer imagine how much suffering they suffered in the four years since I ran away from home.

"Dad, I was even more wrong!... When something happened at home, I was already an adult, but I failed to take on the responsibilities that an adult should bear. In the end, I made the most cowardly decision..."

He patted my arm and said repeatedly: "Don't say these, don't say these... just come back..." At this point, he seemed to have remembered something, and hurriedly said to me: "Let's go back with me." See your mother... She has been looking forward to this day for so long... Today, she can finally let go of her worries!"

Just when we were about to leave, Qiao Jiao, who had left angrily before, came back again. She was standing where I had just stood, looking at my dad and me across the street, as if she didn't dare to speak or near……

My dad also discovered her.

Then I said, "Dad, she is my girlfriend. I heard about you and came to Tianjin with her."

My dad looked at Qiao Jiao for a long while before replying: "I have a girlfriend!"

His tone and demeanor told me that he was very satisfied with Qiao Jiao and far exceeded his expectations. But I was in a daze. I felt that this seemed to be another fateful arrangement; when I went to Hunan to find my godfather, I When my mother was born, the person who went with me was Lu Xi, who took the lead and made my godfather and godmother like it. Now, when I see the father who gave birth to me, it is Qiao Jiao who is accompanying me. Of course, this is also true. It will form a preconceived impression; therefore, regarding Qiao Jiao and Lu Xi, they are always so balanced, so that I have no choice.No, my subconscious still prefers Qiao Jiao, because I introduced her to my dad as my girlfriend.

……

Qiao Jiao finally came to my dad and I; at this moment, she really sympathized with me. She choked and said to my dad: "Uncle, Han Chao really misses you... I heard that some classmates are meeting here. When it comes to you, he rushed here without stopping. He waited here for three days in a row and didn't dare to go anywhere... In these years, he has also been very guilty and worried about you... In the future, he will definitely make it up to you."

My dad looked at me and then at Qiao Jiao. After a long time, he nodded heavily. I understand his character. What he nodded to approve was not compensation. He just wanted to live a good life together as a family, just like before. .

……

My dad took Qiao Jiao and I through several dark alleys, and finally came to a place where shanties gathered. There was a yard outside the shanty, and there were all kinds of waste piled in the yard. This is enough to show that they are now Make a living from this.

My dad kicked away the rubbish blocking the road and led Qiao Jiao and I inside. My heart almost broke. I never expected them to make a comeback, but I never thought that one day, they would live in Such a shantytown.

What have they gone through in the past four years? They had sold their house and had millions on them. How could they live like this?

My mother seemed to have locked the door, and my father knocked on the door, but she ignored him. (Han Chao and Lu Xi are getting married? Search and follow the author’s personal satellite number: *** to view the latest chapters.)
"Mom, it's me...I'm Xiaochao...I'm back!"

Suddenly the lights came on in the room, and then I heard rapid footsteps. When the door opened, I found that my mother hadn't even had time to put on her shoes.

She threw herself into my arms and cried uncontrollably.

Amidst my mother's cries, I suddenly realized that I was their only son and their only hope and concern in this world. Back then, I had already used the cruelest way to punish them. Their oppression of me...

"Son, where have you been... We have worked so hard to find you... these four years... these four years..."

My mother was already bursting into tears, and I was even more heartbroken. They say that mother and child are connected. At this moment, I really felt the grief and despair in her heart, as well as the ecstasy and nervousness after suddenly seeing me...

I looked down at my mother. She also had a lot of white hair on her head, but she was a decent woman. Even though her head was covered with white hair, she still managed her hair very neatly...

I looked up again and saw that there was a New Year's Eve dinner on the low table next to the bed, which included dumplings, a few cold dishes, and a half-drunk bottle of Red Star Erguotou.

Looking at these barely touched dumplings and cold dishes, I seem to have seen their mood during the New Year... This mood is definitely no less depressing than me eating instant noodles alone in the RV.

Four years, four whole years, I ran away from home, which ultimately resulted in a lose-lose situation.

I underestimated my importance in their hearts. I even imagined that they would make a comeback, but I never thought about how they would feel about making a comeback when there was no news about me and my life or death was uncertain.

There were only endless regrets and quarrels between them. Just like this night, my dad ran away alone because of a quarrel to relieve the helplessness and depression in his heart.
