Old Movies of the Republic of China II

Wang Yuan pinched his eyebrows and sighed.

The people who came to the meeting came out one after another. Du Zhongyuan stopped in his tracks. When they were all gone, he turned back and sat next to Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan opened his eyes, smiled wryly and shook his head.

Du Zhongyuan patted him on the shoulder, his words were too pale at the moment, in the face of death, no matter how high-spirited they were usually, it was useless.

Wang Yuanqiang cheered himself up, sat up straight, and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet, but I heard that Sister Yuzhi is pregnant."

Du Zhongyuan tactfully changed the topic with him: "Yes. I was also surprised when I found out... She didn't like children, and we never planned this matter."

"Anyway, it's always good to have a child." Wang Yuan lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes and said, "When the child is born, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."

Du Zhongyuan was in a good mood when he returned home.

Hou Yuzhi was reading a book on the recliner on the balcony. Du Zhongyuan caught a glimpse of several cigarette butts in the ashtray on the small table out of the corner of his eye. One of them had obviously just been extinguished, and there was still a faint flame.

His heart sank, but he just pretended not to see it, and said in a brisk tone: "Is the child good today?"

Hou Yuzhi raised his eyes to look at him, then turned his head to look into the distance, without opening his mouth, he just let out a perfunctory "hmm".

Du Zhongyuan pulled another chair and sat down next to her, and carefully placed his palm on his wife's lower abdomen. As long as he thought of the two of them's children growing in it, Du Zhongyuan couldn't help being excited.

He was reluctant to take back his hand, Hou Yuzhi frowned, and lightly reprimanded: "Take it away."

Du Zhongyuan withdrew his hand in a little embarrassment, cleared his throat, "Yuzhi, do you have anything to eat? I told the kitchen to make it. Or should we go out to eat? You stayed at home all day, are you bored?"

The long winter has not yet passed, Hou Yuzhi casually pulled the heavy blanket on her body, her eyes were dark.

Du Zhongyuan: "Yuzhi?"

Hou Yuzhi said indifferently: "Let me stay by myself for a while."

Du Zhongyuan was stunned.

Seeing him not moving, Hou Yuzhi's expression became even uglier, "Didn't you hear me when I spoke?"

Du Zhongyuan left the balcony nervously.

Yuzhi hasn't talked to him like this for a long time, indifferent, bored, impatient... Could it be that he hasn't done something well recently?Or is the reconciliation between the two just his wishful thinking?

Du Zhongyuan stood at the door for a long time, he looked at Hou Yuzhi's back, she was rubbing her temples - her head must have started to hurt again, this is her old problem - Du Zhongyuan moved towards the balcony, but stopped immediately live.

Yuzhi, Yuzhi.

Du Zhongyuan's mouth was full of bitterness.

For 30 years, every choice he made was wrong, but it was too late to repent at this time.
