Although it was my first time drinking wine, I didn't think that the wine tasted bad like the rumors said. Instead, I felt that I was enjoying the taste buds that the wine had brought to me.
"Wow, it's still the wine of the past, but it has the taste of time. Good wine, good wine!" After drinking it, his father kept praising the wine in the bowl. Although his father saw that he was drinking very generously, he couldn't bear to finish it. After all, there was a limit to the amount of good wine. This was the good wine that his father had treasured for many years. His mother was the same.
After three rounds of drinking, our family of three revealed a little tipsy. As the saying goes, the truth comes out after drinking. There's nothing wrong with this saying. Even my father, who usually doesn't talk much, gradually became more talkative after drinking. However, I was very willing to listen, and it was the kind of state where I listened carefully.
"Mingqiu, you're almost 18 now. You can make your own decisions. You can also get into the university you like. University is a very important turning point in your life. No matter what, you have to grasp it. If you grasp it well, it'll be easy for you to rise to the top in the future. I know very well that you're not a kid in a pool. You have ambition in your heart. However, there is one thing that you must always remember. No matter how high you climb in the future, no matter how far you go, don't forget your original intention, and don't forget your roots!”
Dad used the alcohol to explain the philosophy of life once again. To be honest, I've heard these words from others and read a lot of books, but I've never listened to my dad so seriously.
"Dad, don't worry! Your son won't let you down! When I'm good in the city, I'll bring you two to the city to enjoy your life! What do you think?" I patted my chest and promised.
"Hahaha! It's enough that you have this kind of heart. We won't go to the city. The mountains are quite beautiful and the people are simple! Although it was a little tiring, it was still self-sufficient!”
Looking at my dad's serious expression, I knew that this matter wouldn't come to an agreement. I could only plan it slowly in the future. "Alright, I'll go home often to see you two in the future!"”。
"Forget it, kid. Don't cause trouble outside and let me clean up your mess! "Hahaha…" my dad joked. It didn't seem like a joke. He thought that I had indeed caused a lot of trouble later on, and it was Dad who secretly helped me settle it. Of course, this was also the aftermath.
"I say, old man, can't you hope for something better? I haven't even gone out yet, so how did I cause trouble for you?”After hearing my father's words, of course I couldn't take it anymore. I also tried to refute him, but in the end, I failed. After all, the older the ginger, the spicier.
" You know, you've caused me a lot of trouble in the past few years. You beat up my deskmate in the first grade of elementary school, and then you beat up my deskmate in junior high school…" Dad didn't give me any face at all. He directly brought up the old matter. He made me want to find a hole to crawl into.
"Alright, Mingqiu, your father is right! In the future, when you're not by your parents 'side, you have to act according to your ability. You can't act rashly, or else you'll be the one who suffers. In addition, the city's waters are very deep. Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't easily lie in this pool of muddy water!”
Since even my mom said so, I could only nod and agree. However, I threw it out of my mind after that. Of course, this was all in the future. At least for now, I didn't have any plans to get involved in this mess. What I wanted was to finish my university education well. To be more extravagant, it would be enough to have a simple and ordinary relationship with the person who made me dream of her. However, fate played a trick on people. The gap between reality and ideals was always so far away.
"Mother of the child, bring me the box under our bed. Our child has been admitted to university.”After thinking for a long time, he decided to take out the box that he regarded as a treasure. Usually, he would let me touch that box. I remember that there was once when I was curious and wanted to open the box to take a look. I was bumped into by him and was beaten up by him. From then on, I didn't dare to take another step forward.
"Alright, I'll go get it for you now!”My mom will never interfere with my dad's decisions because my dad rarely makes decisions. However, every decision he makes is made after careful consideration. He doesn't make a decision easily. After saying that, she walked straight into the bedroom and took out the wooden box that looked like it had been through a long time.
"Here you go!" After walking out, his mother handed the box to his father.
"Dad, are you sure this is a reward for me?”I asked in disbelief. After all, I was beaten up because of this box. To be honest, I'm still a little scared.
" You're really a once bitten, twice shy kid, hahaha…" How could Dad not know that I would be so skeptical? He clearly remembered that incident.
"No! I decided that this thing is a treasure that you treat as a treasure! He rewarded me just like that! He was just a little overwhelmed by the favor!”In the face of such an awkward situation, I changed my words to ease the tension.
"This thing was originally meant to be kept by you sooner or later. It was just that the time was not right back then. This thing was something that many people wanted to get even if they risked their lives. Therefore, after I give you this thing, don't expose it easily. You must make sure that there's no one around before you open it. Even your closest friends or girlfriends can't be exposed! Otherwise, you'll get yourself killed!”My curiosity was piqued once again when my dad said that. He couldn't wait to see what was inside that made his father say it like this.
"En, I understand!" Curiosity was curiosity, but I still remembered Dad's advice. After all, Dad's words didn't come out of nowhere. After all, it's a matter of life and death, so I naturally take it very seriously.
"En, en, it's good that you remember. Now that you've grown up, there are some things you have to treat seriously. You can't play around with them. Otherwise, you won't even know when you'll lose your life. I'm telling you, I don't want the old man to send the old man away! Do you understand?" His father changed the topic. He looked very serious and did not seem to be joking at all. Even his mother didn't dare to interrupt, showing his father's status as the head of the family.
"I will remember your teachings!" After hearing my father's serious words, I paid more attention to the things in the box. In addition, my father's words weren't words that an ordinary person could say. This made me curious about my father's mystery and family. To be honest, my dad has been acting a little strange these past few days. He has been revealing some information intentionally or unintentionally.
"En en, alright. It's time to hand this thing over to you. I've been guarding this thing for some time. I'll be at ease if I hand it over to you. I'm tired of guarding this thing all day. Now I can finally live a leisurely farmer's life!”After saying that, my father personally handed this heavy box to me.
After receiving the box, I couldn't wait to open it. Just as I was about to open it, my father slapped my hand and said,"What, you've already turned a deaf ear to my words! What did I tell you just now? You have to make sure that there's no one around before you can open this box! Have you forgotten?"
" But..." Before I could retort, Dad interrupted,""But what? Hurry up and find a secret place to hide!”
"It's Dad!" Being beaten up by my dad like this instantly scattered the curiosity in my heart! He no longer had the desire to open the box, at least not now! I had no choice but to follow my father's instructions and hide the box in a place that I thought was the safest.
"Have you hidden everything?" Seeing that I had gone out for a long time, Dad finally felt relieved and asked tentatively.
"Don't worry, Dad. It's absolutely safe!”I patted my chest and said.
"That's good! Alright, it's getting late. I'm almost done drinking. You should wash up and go to sleep. You'll be reporting for duty the day after tomorrow! Hurry up and pack up!" It was indeed getting late. She had unknowingly talked to her father for almost three hours, but the time was still fixed at eleven o'clock at night.
"Then I'll go prepare. Dad, Mom, you should rest early!”After bidding farewell to my parents, I returned to my room. Perhaps it was because I had drunk a little, but I actually felt a little dizzy. Sleepiness instantly surged up, and my eyelids began to fight. I didn't even have time to shower before I lay on the bed and fell asleep.
(If you want to know what happens after that, see the next chapter!)）
