Waiting for you at the place where you are reborn

Early in the morning, Qi Xiangtian, who was still sleeping, was awakened by the ringing of the phone.

I picked up the alarm clock and took a look: 6:30, too late to get up for work. Then I realized it was a call from my cell phone, and the caller ID showed: Qi Jinye.

Hesitantly, he answered the phone: "Hello - what's going on?"

"You are very famous now. Your name is on the headlines of this city. Why, you really don't plan to come back to see your father?"

"We come back just to quarrel. I'm tired of it." Qi Xiangtian said coldly.

"Tomorrow is your mother's memorial day. Come back and we'll celebrate it together. I promise I won't argue with you."

Qi Xiangtian recalled the heart-wrenching past: Qi Jinye opened a casino and a bank for huge profits. The wife of gambler Wei Xinzhi was driven to despair by loan sharks and jumped off a building with her children. In order to avenge Qi Jinye, Wei Xinzhi killed his mother in a frenzy.

"I will be even sadder when I see you." Qi Xiangtian said in a low voice.

"You are my son, and this cannot be changed." Qi Jinye said, "Even if what happened in the past was my fault, you have to give me a chance to correct it."

"Will you change?" Qi Xiangtian said, "For so many years, you have been stubborn."

"No matter what, please come back first. I beg you." Qi Jinye said in a pleading tone.

Qi Jinye's attitude today confused Qi Xiangtian. Over the years, he and his mother's earnest advice was only met with his roars:

"What do you know? I risked my life for you, and you just look down on me like this?"

"If I don't do it, someone else will. Why not do something that can make money?"

"You have a problem with your thinking. In fact, making things convenient for others is also making things convenient for yourself."

"We've already started, how can we stop?"

……

……

"Xiangtian - Xiangtian -" Qi Jinye shouted on the other end of the phone: "How about it, can you come back tomorrow?"

"Let me take a look. If everything is fine at the company, I'll come back." Qi Xiangtian said.

"Then I'll ask Sister Yu to prepare food for you, and we'll go to worship your mother together." Qi Jinye said.

In late autumn, the temperature in Lincheng, located in the southwest, has dropped significantly. Outside, the ground is covered with yellow leaves and the sky is gray.

Qi Xiangtian got out of bed and opened the window. A gust of cold air hit him. He subconsciously picked up the phone and prepared to call Wu Linxi. Five days ago, Jiaoguang Radio Station supported the local radio station to make a column. Wu Linxi went to Qingming County as a mentor to support for ten days.

"It's still early, she probably hasn't gotten up yet." Qi Xiangtian muttered to himself, and finally sent her a message: "The temperature dropped by five degrees today, remember to put on more clothes when you go out."

I walked into the bathroom and thought about Qi Jinye’s call while washing up.

In previous years, on his mother's memorial day, Qi Jinye would call him home and yell at him.

"Are you going home or not? You won't go home on your mother's death anniversary?"

"If you don't come home, I will treat you as if I don't have a son."

But every year he goes to the cemetery alone to pay his respects.

However, this time, Qi Jinye's attitude changed drastically. Not only was his tone gentle, he was even a little humble, which surprised Qi Xiangtian very much.

This time, Qi Xiangtian felt that his mood when answering the phone was a little different.

He hadn't been home for six years, and all the information about his father was obtained and conveyed to him through Liu Wenli. In the past, he didn't want to have any contact with Qi Jinye because of his mother's departure; now, with Wu Linxi by his side, his attitude has softened a lot.

Thinking of Wu Linxi, Qi Xiangtian couldn't help but have many thoughts: soon, he would go to visit her parents and propose to her; they would get engaged and hold a wedding. And for these engagement and wedding events, no matter what his father did, he had to be present. As a Chinese, it was impossible to sever ties with his father from a etiquette perspective.

Now that Qi Jinye's attitude has softened, there is still hope that he can convince him. If Qi Jinye can change, then for him, it will not be a hindrance to marriage, and for Qi Jinye, he can also get the best result of spending his old age in peace.
