Although the hotel my aunt stayed in was just an ordinary business hotel, the rooms were the best in the whole hotel.
After entering the house, her aunt took off her hat, which surprised Feng Nan because not only did her aunt have a bald head, but she also had several clearly visible ring scars. It turned out that her aunt was a nun. No wonder she always wore a hat when going out.
The aunt also felt that Feng Nan would be surprised by her sudden removal of her hat, so she turned around and said with a smile: "I am a monk. I didn't tell you in advance. It's unexpected."
Feng Nan nodded, but at the same time he could see her aunt's face clearly. Her aunt was really similar to her mother, but they were also very different. In Feng Nan's memory, her mother had always been a yellow-faced woman, with a sad face all day long.
, while the aunt is plump and round, and even without long hair, she still looks like a woman who still has charm. Such a comparison, Feng Nan feels sorry for her mother again - she has been suffering all her life until she dies.
I rarely see her smiling face since then.
The aunt boiled water and made tea for Feng Nan to drink. The tea was brought by the aunt, saying it was produced by two old tea trees on the hill behind the temple. She had long been accustomed to drinking only this kind of tea. No wonder she ordered a cup at the teahouse just now.
The chrysanthemums were almost untouched.
Feng Nan didn't understand tea, so he couldn't drink it well. Any tea would taste bitter on his tongue.
After taking a few sips of tea, Feng Nan put down the teacup and said to his aunt: "Now you can tell me about my father."
The aunt took a deep breath, leaned back, shifted all her weight to the back of the sofa, made a fist with her right hand, lightly tapped her forehead, and said: "What an injustice." After that, there was no sound again, and it was obvious that there was no sound.
That memory is quite painful to look back on.
Feng Nan didn't rush her. It takes time to remember the sea hook. He took another sip of tea, but it was still bitter.
"well……"
The aunt sighed again, seemingly ready, but before he started to tell, he asked Feng Nan: "Nan Nan, do you think your father is handsome?"
"Handsome?" This was a question that Feng Nan had never thought about. He recalled his father's face, which was always serious. He really couldn't get along with being handsome, so Feng Nan shook his head.
The aunt smiled and asked again: "Then do you think you are handsome?"
Feng Nan smiled sheepishly and said, "It's not bad, at least it's not ugly."
My aunt said: "You are very similar to your father."
Feng Nan didn't say anything. He actually wished that he had nothing to do with this old guy, but today his aunt said "you are very similar to him" several times and he felt inexplicably disgusted.
But the aunt seemed to be immersed in deep memories. After a while, she slowly said: "Your father was handsome, funny, and versatile when he was young. I loved watching him play basketball the most. Really.
It's so chic." When she said this, a smile appeared on her face.
Feng Nan felt that her aunt was talking about another person. Funny? Versatile? She had no impression at all. As for basketball, in my memory, my father didn't even watch sports games.
The aunt continued: "Actually, your father and I were lovers at the time, and he was the one pursuing me."
Feng Nan was shocked again. Could this be her biological mother? And her mother was actually her aunt? This is really the latest emotional drama of the year.
Seeing Feng Nan's surprised look, her aunt didn't seem surprised at all. She smiled and said: "Don't think too much about Nan Nan, I am really your aunt." After explaining this sentence, she continued: "Your father and I I felt very happy after falling in love, and finally we got to the point of talking about marriage, but it was not as open as it is now. Boys and girls can be together if they like it. At that time, I lived on the second floor of my house, and your father often climbed up the window secretly to come to see me. During the date, I later used a rope to make a rope ladder to make it easier for him to go up and down. Thinking about that time... ugh... it was so good." As the aunt talked, she actually recited the name of the Buddha.
"I didn't expect that he would still have a period of passionate passion." Feng Nan thought silently in his heart, and he couldn't understand more and more how a boy with such youth and sunshine turned into the hypocrite he later became. Maybe what my aunt told him next can help. Solve this problem.
The aunt continued: "Although your mother is my sister, we are twin sisters. She was only born a few minutes earlier than me. Our personalities are completely different. She is relatively introverted and has better grades than me." , had been studying abroad, but suddenly came back that year, and suffered from severe depression, because of love." When the aunt said the word love, her tone was full of disdain, and she didn't know that it was for love itself. Or to the person who abandoned his mother.
The aunt continued: "Maybe this is God's trick. The night your mother came home, I was asked to work overtime because of temporary work. It was getting late, and my mother didn't want to clean up the room anymore, so she let your mother sleep with me. But in the middle of the night, your father came and thought your mother was me."
When Feng Nan heard this, he sneered: "This is really dramatic."
The aunt sighed: "That's right, you can imagine how I felt after knowing this. But what's more interesting is that after such a night, your mother's depression was cured without medicine, and your mother also promised this Just pretend it never happened. The person who fell in love with your father and the person who marries him in the future can still be me. And the strange thing is that your mother is very introverted and traditional, but she didn't resist at all that night. Of course this That's what your father said later."
Feng Nan said: "That is really an advantage for him, but it is also a rift that cannot be eliminated."
The aunt said: "Yes, it cannot be eliminated. Since then, I have never let your father come near me, no matter how he apologizes to me. But according to the law of time, everything can be diluted, if it were not later discovered that your mother was pregnant Now, your father and I can probably get along."
Feng Nan said: "That child is me?"
The aunt nodded: "What an injustice."
"No wonder he never likes me. Because of me, he can't be with the person he likes. But this is too bloody. Just because of this, he..." Feng Nan still couldn't understand his father's change.
The aunt said: "I don't know what happened next. Anyway, I became a monk after the wedding. I originally thought that I would be able to be pure from now on. Who would have thought that this temple can also be a business now. I was ordained five years ago. Abbot, I now have a temple in my name and more than a hundred acres of temple property, and I am living a pretty good life.
"I can see it." Feng Nan said, but he immediately asked: "What about my grandparents, how are they?"
The aunt said: "Nan Nan, do you know? I am very happy that you can take the initiative to ask this. It means that you and your father are still different. However, your grandparents have passed away for many years. When I was the supervisor of the temple, I took their ashes.
When you come to the Paradise Hall in my temple, it will be considered a good offering."
Feng Nan was a little disappointed. He originally thought he could take this opportunity to find two more relatives, so he had to say: "That's good, maybe I can go and offer incense to the two old people. After all, I am also their grandson."
.”
My aunt said, "That's no problem at all. You can come at any time, but you don't look like you're having a good life."
Feng Nan touched the wounds on his face and said with a smile: "It's nothing. These were some misunderstandings with the urban management and have been resolved. In comparison, that old guy did me more harm."
My aunt said, "I heard that you are in military school and your mother writes to me every year."
Feng Nan: "Yeah, I wasn't originally a promising person, but if I keep going like this I still have a bright future. Who would have thought that this old guy disappeared from the world with more than 700 million people, causing me to be imprisoned for half a year?
, was interrogated every day, and was eventually expelled from the military and dishonorably discharged. Looking back now, this old guy has been harming people throughout his life."
"So you have nothing to do now?" asked my aunt, who was always avoiding the topic of 'old guy harming people'.
Feng Nan said carelessly: "It doesn't matter. I have a small cart selling shaved ice, and the business is not bad. When winter comes, I will sell pancakes instead. No matter what, people have to live."
My aunt said "Oh" and said, "Then are you interested in coming with me?"
Feng Nan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Why, become a monk?"
The aunt said seriously: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with being a monk now. There are also people who commute to and from get off work. You can still get married if you want."
Feng Nan was really a little panicked now: "Auntie, are you serious?"
The aunt said: "If you really don't want to, you can go back with me, and then you can see what you are suitable to do, even if you set up an incense stall next to my temple, if there is a temple fair or something, you can do it for a day."
Stay elsewhere for a month. Besides, you and I are our only relatives now. If you go back with your aunt, you won’t suffer."
Feng Nan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go back with you, but...it's only for a few days. I mainly want to offer incense to my grandpa and grandma."
The aunt was stunned, because although she was working as a nun, she had also earned a lot of money over the years. Feng Nan went back with her, and if he behaved well and pleased her, he could treat her as his own son, no matter what.
If you don't do it, you can still be a perfect second-generation ancestor. What's more, when I saw Feng Nan today, I felt extraordinarily kind. Not to mention that every move he made, his eyes and smiles all had the shadow of 'that person', and even more so in his words.
A kind of temperament that 'that person' doesn't have. She originally just wanted to visit her sister's grave this time, and had no other ideas. It wasn't until she was bumped into by Feng Nan that she realized that family ties are hard to break, and the world of mortal life is difficult, so she had to take Feng Nan with her.
Nan's idea of leaving also burst out in an instant, but Feng Nan didn't seem to accept this idea.
The aunt asked: "Nan Nan, do you think it's embarrassing for my aunt to make money as a nun? Don't you want to do this?"
Feng Nan said: "No, aunt, I'm really happy to meet you today. I once thought that the closest person to me in this world was the 'brother' left by my father. For him,
, there is almost no connection except blood, but you, aunt, now I feel that I have relatives again." He said these words from the heart, he felt his eyes burning when he said it, and his aunt's eyes also became bright.
.
"Then you come with me. I've heard about the brother you mentioned. His mother is still very young and can support him. You really can't stand it. Just give him some money once in a while." The aunt said again, "If you
I don’t like temple business. I also have some secular business. If you are familiar with it, I can leave it to you. Anyway, I have become a monk and have no other ideas. Now that I have earned so much money, I suddenly look back and realize
It’s very boring. I can’t use it much myself, so who is it for?”
What my aunt said was very clear. She seemed to have regarded Feng Nan as the legal heir. For Feng Nan, this was really pie-in-the-sky.
