Chapter 1110: Revisiting the Old Place
Facts have proven that no matter you were born in old China when World War I was going on, or in the United States, which took the top spot in the world after World War II; whether you were a farmer who has been doing your job for more than half a century, or you have been a farmer for decades A successful businessman; no matter whether you believe in communism or capitalism; whether you are a Chinese grandpa or an American grandpa...
Some things have nothing to do with time, space, beliefs, origin, experience, environment... and everything outside the body. For example, we are all human beings.
After Feng Yiping truthfully conveyed Mei Jianzhong's intention, the two grandfathers got along so harmoniously that even Heidi was very surprised.
If John's enthusiasm at the beginning was still out of politeness and accommodation to his daughter, his enthusiasm now definitely comes from the heart.
Feng Yiping also really didn't expect that Mei Jianzhong and John, two people who were different in every way and had no intersection in any way except their relationship with Ma Ling, could fall in love with each other so quickly! ?
As a consequence, Vincent, who was very dear to both grandfathers, was actually ignored at this time.
His father was quite busy, busy translating for his own grandfather and his grandfather.
However, sometimes, it seemed that the two grandfathers did not need an interpreter. Mei Jianzhong showed John his hands, which were thick-jointed, full of calluses, and very rough. John, without saying a word, lifted up his hair, rolled up his trouser legs, and asked Mei Jianzhong to Look at the injuries he has suffered at the construction site over the years...
Afterwards, the two Chinese farmers and American capitalists, who were more than thirty years apart in age, probably found resonance on the level of being men and parents. "Where's the wine?" John shouted.
Ma Ling, who had been paying close attention to this place, quickly brought a bottle of wine, which was a bottle of champagne. "Dad," she called.
"I know, I won't drink more,"
Over there, Mei Jianzhong also said to Feng Yiping, "I know, I know."
The champagne glasses touched lightly, without saying anything, and at the same time, they raised their necks and felt relieved, everything was in the wine.
Feng Yiping, who spoke several times more than the two of them combined, was a little thirsty at the moment, but the two people obviously didn't mean to bring themselves. Seeing that they would not be able to use themselves for a while, it was a bit embarrassing. He got up and slipped to the kitchen.
Ma Ling was baking chocolate cookies with her son and Heidi. When she saw Feng Yiping come in, she secretly shook his hand and was very happy.
"Dad, look," Vincent, who was being held by his grandma, proudly pointed to a cookie that resembled an exclamation mark or a cone-shaped cookie that he squeezed out on the parchment paper as a treasure, "I made it!"
"Oh, Vincent is so awesome. I'll keep this for daddy, okay?" Feng Yiping kissed his son on the face.
Heidi glanced outside the door and said, "Huh? You're not here, what are they saying now?"
"Mom, look, they don't seem to need an interpreter now,"
Heidi looked over and saw that the two people over there were holding wine glasses and talking very enthusiastically, and they would smile from time to time. It seemed that it had nothing to do with poor communication.
Heidi looked puzzled, "I don't understand, Feng, do you understand?"
"I probably understand,"
Men, in fact, sometimes they really want to find someone to talk to, to express their feelings and complain, but this is the most difficult thing for men. Sometimes they really can’t find a suitable person to talk to about certain things.
Or maybe he simply wants to say it. The last thing he needs is a false understanding or a perfunctory echo. A person who doesn't understand what he is saying, so he doesn't laugh or despise, is naturally a perfect person. object.
Just like the pastor in If You Are the One who was forced to talk by Uncle Ge.
If this person doesn't understand what you're talking about specifically, but he can understand you from a spiritual level, that's great. Many men, many times, don't need comfort, understanding is enough.
Of course, men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Heidi doesn't understand this state of affairs, and that's normal.
But Heidi obviously at least knew John very well, "He probably just wants to talk sometimes. Feng, would you do that?"
"Not yet,"
In fact, there are some.
Heidi glanced at her daughter and grandson, who were baking cookies as an artistic creation. "Feng, I want to say that although the current situation between you and Ma Ling is indeed not the most ideal, your relationship was very good from the beginning. normal status,"
"Heidi," Ma Ling stopped what she was doing and called with some dissatisfaction.
"You, you," Heidi shook her head at her daughter, "What I want to say is that although we are really not satisfied with the current situation of you and Ma Ling, but if you and Ma Ling get married at this time, we are actually the same I will also be worried, maybe even more worried,”
"We know that you have outstanding abilities, but after all, you and Ma Ling are still very young and have just started in life. Marriage is not just about love, nor is it about passion. It is not as simple as you think, and we don't want you to Marriage in a hurry because of children,"
"The damage caused by breaking up in a relationship is completely different from the damage caused by divorce. John and I are quite open-minded. In our culture, we have long been able to accept unmarried mothers. Therefore, in your current situation, we are Not satisfied, but somewhat satisfied,”
"Sometimes, form is not important. What is important is whether you are happy. What we care most about is whether Ma Ling is happy, and now whether Vincent can grow up healthily,"
Feng Yiping could hear the meaning of these words. It wasn't that they didn't care about the form, but they also knew Feng Yiping's situation. It was impossible for Feng Yiping to abandon the mother and daughter over there and enter the marriage hall with his own daughter.
"Currently, Ma Ling and Vincent are both happy, so you don't have to feel guilty. If you keep this mentality, I'm worried that your relationship may deteriorate in the future,"
"Heidi," Ma Ling was about to interrupt again.
"There are some things that you don't need to pursue too deliberately now. Anyway, you are still young and there are many possibilities in the future." Heidi raised her hand, "I'm done."
Feng Yiping felt that Ma Ling's mother was the American version of a close sister, and she was also an emotional expert.
"I admit that because of the cultural relationship, I feel guilty towards Ma Ling, you and John, and of course Vincent, but I feel even more honored. I am honored to be forgiven by you and John. I am even more honored. Ma Ling favors me, and Vincent, this is the best gift God has given me,"
"I want to say that I will do everything I can to make them happy, and in the process, it will also be the happiest time for me,"
Heidi turned around silently to bake cookies. Ma Ling's eyes were a little moist. She pushed her son into Feng Yiping's arms, hugged his neck, and kissed him deeply.
This can be said to be the first time Feng Yiping said anything similar to love to her.
Feng Yiping was still not used to such American expressions. The elders were still in front of him, although Heidi looked pleased now.
He hugged the horse spirit hanging on his body, "I have to go see them,"
He was really worried that if he wasn't here for a moment, would the two grandpas over there who were having a great time drinking champagne act impulsively and cut off chicken heads and burn yellow paper to become brothers with different surnames?
"I'll go ahead," said Heidi, "and I can't drink any more."
The kitchen was very quiet and sweet. Ma Ling was still hanging on Feng Yiping and didn't say anything, but the affection in his eyes was so strong that it overflowed. Even Vincent seemed to be infected. He looked at his father for a while, and then... He would look at his mother, kiss his father on the face, and kiss his mother on the face.
"Feng," Heidi called from the living room, "come here and take your grandpa back to his room to rest."
Feng Yiping took his son out and took a look. His grandfather was actually in good spirits and looked very happy. "It's good to have a nap," he said.
Over there, John shouted to Vincent, "Let's go take a nap with grandpa."
In fact, it was already past three in the afternoon, but Vincent did not take a nap today.
…………
Mei Jianzhong was lying on the bed and said seriously to his grandson who was covering him up with a quilt, "You are really lucky. She has a good family,"
"Yiping, there's not much I can do for you. I don't care how you solve this matter. In short, both sides must be dealt with well. Don't bully them, remember?"
"Don't worry, grandpa, I know it," Feng Yiping said with certainty.
But grandpa, in fact, it’s not just two sides, now it’s at least three parties!
…………
Now it was Ma Ling and Heidi's turn to have a drink at the table. Vincent, who had always been very excited, seemed to be sleepy in his mother's arms.
Seeing Feng Yiping come down, Heidi said, "Ma Ling, you and Feng go out for a walk, and leave the child to me."
"Thank you, mom," Ma Ling happily kissed Heidi on the face.
When sending them out, Heidi added, "It doesn't matter if you come back later in the evening."
I have to say that American parents are really enlightened!
Ma Ling looked back, shook Feng Yiping's hand, and whispered, "Are you going to the hotel?" After saying that, he couldn't help laughing.
"Would you like to go to your school for a walk?" Feng Yiping almost hugged her and walked towards the car.
"Okay," Ma Ling liked it very much, "then this is your second time going to my school. Do you still remember where you first met me?"
"Of course I remember," Feng Yiping touched her nose, "Also, this is at least the third time today. The last time, I followed you all the way home from school. I'll drive."
…………
Today, Wednesday, when they were holding hands and walking on the path where they first met, they were surrounded by many classmates just like before.
The school's landmark building, the cross on the spire of Healy Hall, remains the same. Although the seasons are different, the lawns and trees on the roadside are as green as ever, and even the trash cans on the roadside still seem to look the same.
However, walking hand in hand on this path like no one else, the mood of the two of them was completely different from that then.
There was no anxiety, excitement, or pretending not to care even though I was obviously nervous... I felt very comfortable and content, very peaceful and fulfilling, satisfied, fulfilled, and filled with deep happiness.
"Do you remember where you saw me?" Ma Ling turned in front of him and looked into his eyes and asked.
"It's right there," Feng Yiping pointed to the trash can not far ahead. "It looks very different and silly, but you must think it is very meaningful. There is a little arrogance that transcends the world. In short, it is more than just She is beautiful and has a unique attraction that makes me unable to take my eyes away as soon as I see it.”
Ma Ling held his waist and swayed, obviously feeling very satisfied in her heart, but she said, "Ah, so you thought I was stupid at that time."
"What about you, how did you feel when you saw me for the first time?"
Ma Ling didn't even look there, but still stared into his eyes, "Actually, I already noticed you when you were hesitating to come over. Don't think too much about it. We are very sensitive to gazes with ulterior motives."
"Ultimate motives? Is this how you see me?" Feng Yiping tightened his hands.
"Isn't it?" Ma Ling smiled, "I just watched your speech before. You are young and mature, and you are pretending. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so hesitant before making up your mind to come and strike up a conversation."
There's really no way to refute this Feng Yiping. Although his youthful maturity is not an act, he is really inexperienced in striking up conversations.
"However, after you finally plucked up the courage to speak, I discovered that your knowledge was not just an act. Moreover, you were the first person to dig through trash cans all the way to strike up a conversation with me. There was no impatience or obvious intention. I'm disgusted, but I have to pretend to accept it,"
"You clearly know that there should be no such organization and movement in your country, but what you do is give people a sense of being taken for granted without any intention of hypocrisy."
"Haha, that's my charm, isn't it? It's natural for you to like you, and it's natural for you to like me."
Ma Ling ignored his boast, "You handled it very well at the recycling point. The idea you came up with after that was really genius. Of course, I have to admit that you are very sunny, especially when you smile. The feeling of being naturally wise is very attractive to me." Ma Ling stood on tiptoe and kissed Feng Yiping on the face.
"Why do I think you look a little intoxicated? Why am I so charming?"
"Well," Ma Ling hugged him and said nothing.
If no one bothers them, Feng Yiping feels that they will have no choice but to stand here until their feet go numb.
Originally, he thought that no one would disturb him. On an American university campus, such an action would not be considered as spreading dog food, but someone came here without knowing it. It was a handsome boy, "Hey Ma Ling,"
Feng Yiping thought this was interesting. He could recognize Ma Ling just by looking at his back. He kept looking at him without saying anything.
