Chapter 127 The Choice of Those Things Back then
Xiang Xiaoyuan stuttered and asked in a low voice: "What happened back then?"
Miss Luo cried for a while before she choked up and told her about the things she had happened back then...
Cheng Hao was not born that year. His father, who was a university professor, was labeled as a ** school, and his life and death were unknown since then. His mother, with her 8-year-old daughter and Cheng Hao who was still in her stomach, struggled to find out the whereabouts of his father, but there was no news.
Faced with all kinds of pressure, his mother was completely disappointed and even chose to die. The moment she jumped into the river, a passing sanitation worker rescued her, who later became Cheng Hao's stepfather.
In fact, the first thing Cheng Hao saw was his stepfather, and his stepfather also regarded him as his own and loved him very much.
If everything continues like this, then you may have lived like this in your life.
Although that person is not his biological father, he also loves his two children very much; although that person is not rich, it can also become a complete home.
However, one day, Cheng Hao's biological father actually came back.
Everything was corrected and he was rehabilitated because of this. Of course, all life changed.
Cheng Hao was seven years old that year.
Because Cheng Hao has always been a relatively straightforward and perverted child, his feelings for his biological father are not as deep as those for his adoptive father.
He was a little little and knew that his real father was back, and he seemed to be taking him, his sister, mother, and only his stepfather was left.
Although the mother is very happy and the sister is very happy, he is not happy at all. Although the adults have been discussing everything with him, he still sensitively realizes that his life may undergo a drastic change.
For about a year, his biological father did not take them away, and the young Cheng Hao was still anxious every day and had to hold his stepfather's arm to sleep peacefully.
He was always afraid that one day when he opened his eyes, his mother and sister would disappear, especially his father (stepfather) would disappear...
Maybe from that time on, Cheng Hao was always insecure, always sensitive and suspicious, liked to hide himself and only exposed his most vulnerable side to the people he trusted the most.
But no matter how scared he was, that day still came.
His biological father had completed all the procedures and wanted to take his mother, sister, and him to the United States, stay away from here from now on, and never know when he would come back.
That night, his stepfather coaxed him for a long time and said that he would go back to find him and write to him, asking him to go to the United States to wait for him.
He once naively believed that this was true, but before leaving, he still saw the reluctance and despair in his stepfather's eyes.
The whole family took a bus to the airport and talked and laughed along the way. The sixteen-year-old sister was very excited. After all, she was different from Cheng Hao. She had an impression of her biological father. She was very happy to be able to go to the United States. Cheng Hao just lay on the car window and looked out the window, dazed. His biological father touched his head and wanted to get closer to him, but he also understood that the role of "father" in Cheng Hao's world is still the same person, and it may take a long time to change all this.
Suddenly Cheng Hao said he wanted to get out of the car and pee, and then he ran back while he was peeing. When everyone found something was wrong, he had long disappeared...
Everyone searched for a long time and wanted to go back, but going abroad was not as easy as it is now. They might have missed this opportunity and didn't know when it was next time. So they had to get on the plane first and ask someone to find Cheng Hao.
In fact, just as their family left, Cheng Hao's stepfather's world completely collapsed.
He has always been an honest worker, with no money or ability, and he has never married a wife since he was young. The only thing he felt that God blessed him once was to save Cheng Hao's mother and have two children, especially Cheng Hao, who was his son who had all his love.
Although he knew that they left for the sake of the children and Cheng Hao, they all left, and he still felt that his soul had been pulled away, and the rest of the time was probably just endless torment.
He drank a lot of alcohol that day, and when Cheng Hao ran back himself, he couldn't believe it was true!
The little Cheng Hao ran back all the way, losing all his shoes.
He couldn't bear to leave his stepfather alone, and this person was also his own sky.
That day, the two of them hugged each other and cried loudly. The young Cheng Hao made the most important choice in his life according to his heart. From then on, the two of them depended on each other and nothing could separate them.
In this way, the days passed in a flash, Cheng Hao was seventeen years old.
Although American families will also send letters and send money in recent years, they have never come back.
Cheng Hao has always been very successful. Whether in elementary school, junior high school or high school, he is the best student, just because he doesn't want his stepfather to feel that if he doesn't succeed, it's because he delays himself.
Cheng Hao was also planning his own path. He hoped that one day he would go to the United States after finishing college and getting into TOEFL, reunite with his parents, and take over his stepfather openly and stay together forever. But God always couldn't do what others wanted. His stepfather was terminally ill, and when he was young, he had to face the pressure of life again.
It was the first time he wrote a letter asking his mother to come back to see her, but she was rejected.
They had many excuses for not coming back, and it was happening in the late 1980s. He knew that many people were running abroad desperately. When they came back, everything in the future might turn into a gamble.
But he still hoped that his mother and sister would come back to see it, because the name his stepfather called was not only him but also them, which was his stepfather's last wish.
Unfortunately, this wish was not realized in the end.
Seventeen-year-old Cheng Hao experienced everything that should not belong to him. He faced his seriously ill father alone, supported a home alone, dealt with his father's future generations alone, and dealt with the pressure of the college entrance examination alone.
He chose to bear everything alone, but when he grew up but was underage, he once again faced the cruel choice of life.
Many years later, he understood his mother's choice back then, but still could not forgive their determination.
From that time on, he cut off contact with his family and refused all their support. He worked as a tutor, rode a chariot to deliver honeycomb coal, and went to a construction site to work as a short-term worker to earn tuition and living expenses, but never took a penny from his family.
This is how he is. If he recognizes it, he will not let go. Once he becomes cruel, he will never look back.
So until now, no matter how many times he has been to the United States, he has never returned home. His sister has visited him, but has never convinced him.
