"dad……"

Luo Shan burst into tears. She knelt down in front of the tombstone, climbed onto it with trembling fingers, and caressed the facial features on Shao's father's photo inch by inch. Her vision was already blurry...

Heaven and earth are separated forever, nearly six years passed by, and countless times in dreams, this face that was very similar to Shao Tianchi would come to her in the distance. What time has changed is the vicissitudes of life, but the passing people will be frozen forever...

That night many years ago, that night of farewell, those scenes seemed still vivid in her mind. On that drizzly funeral day, she was here, dropped the white flowers in memory of her father-in-law, and signed the divorce agreement to leave the house.

According to the agreement, the Shao family did not give her the right to kneel and kowtow, so she collapsed and ran away...

But over the years, she has never forgotten her father-in-law who will always lie here. She deeply understands that if her father-in-law hadn't resisted for her, the ashes buried here would have been hers...

Luo Shan burst into tears, "Dad...Dad, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have married Tianchi back then. If I hadn't married him, you wouldn't have died... It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

A pair of warm palms hugged her shoulders. Shao Tianchi slowly knelt down, water gleaming in his eyes, "Xiao Shan, I don't blame you, don't take all the blame on yourself. I didn't know the reason back then.

, it’s unfair to you, I’m also at fault! Dad is the most unjust person, if you want to trace it back, it’s all my mother’s fault, the cycle of cause and effect, the retribution of heaven..."

"Tian Chi..." Luo Shan turned his head, threw himself into Shao Tianchi's arms, hugged his neck tightly, crying until he couldn't breathe, "Dad... he didn't like me in the first place and didn't agree with me...

I married you..."

Shao Tianchi inserted one hand into Luo Shan's hair, his voice choked, "That's because dad didn't know you were Lin Lan's daughter at that time. If he knew, he would definitely have a different attitude...:"

Luo Shan shook his head, and tears fell into his mouth, full of bitter and painful taste, "But Tian Chi, I am so sad and regretful. No matter how you say it, my father's death is directly related to me..."

Shao Tianchi turned sideways and stared at his father in the photo. He said slowly: "Dad, please forgive Xiaoshan. She has been punishing herself for six years because of your accidental death. For the sake of her son, for the sake of

For the sake of your granddaughter Tongtong, please don’t appear in her dreams again, spare her, and bless us! We kowtow to you!”

After saying this, Shao Tianchi let go of Luo Shan, held her waist, and said softly: "Xiao Shan, dad is the most sensible person. Let's kowtow to dad together and ask him to forgive us for our unfilial piety!"

Luo Shan nodded while crying, and Shao Tianchi turned to look at Xiao Tongtong, "Baby, come here and kowtow to grandpa, and ask grandpa to bless our family so that we can be safe and happy in the future!"

Xiao Tongtong obediently came forward and knelt down next to her father. Shao Tianchi placed the lilies on the memorial table and carefully placed the flower basket in front of the tombstone. Then the family of three kowtowed sincerely, banging their heads three times, and placed their foreheads

They all hit the stone slab with a muffled sound.

"Dad, I promised Tianchi that I would never leave him again in this life. I owe it to dad, so I will spend the rest of my life taking care of your son, okay?" Luo Shan stared at the tombstone and murmured.

"Can."

A small voice suddenly sounded, and Luo Shan was startled. She turned her eyes and saw that it was Xiao Tongtong who was looking at her and talking. She was about to scold her daughter, but she didn't expect the little girl to look at the picture of her grandfather on the tombstone again.

She said seriously, "Mommy, Grandpa said it's okay. Although Grandpa can't speak, Grandpa must think so."

Luo Shan was startled, "Tongtong..."

"Grandpa, I am Shao Jitong, I have the same surname as grandpa. I am so cute. My uncle and aunt all like me. So grandpa, do you like me? Although we can't meet each other, I will remember what grandpa looks like.

, Grandpa, you should also remember Tongtong's appearance, remember that I am your little granddaughter! Well..." When Xiao Tongtong said this, he scratched his hair with his little hands, thought for a few seconds, and then shook his head again.

He said: "Tongtong doesn't know what mommy did wrong, but mommy will correct it if she knows it. Mommy is also a good child. Please don't be angry, grandpa. Even if grandpa feels sorry for Tongtong, just agree to mommy's request."

What? Well, Tongtong will also take good care of her father, so grandpa will be happy, right? Haha, that’s it, let’s hang ourselves together for a hundred years, and we won’t change!”

Luo Shan and Shao Tianchi watched in surprise as the little girl stretched out her thumb and little finger and innocently placed them on Shao's father's face in the photo because the photo didn't capture the hands, only the face from the neck up!

After Xiao Tongtong finished all this, he turned around and said with a smile: "Mom, dad, I made an agreement with grandpa. Grandpa is very good. He likes Tongtong very much, so grandpa agrees to Tongtong's request."

, Grandpa no longer blames Mommy, Grandpa also said that Mom and Dad should stop quarreling, love each other, and hurry up like my sister-in-law and give Tongtong a little brother to play with!"

Los Angeles is petrified...

Shao Tianchi reacted very quickly, and immediately said: "Xiaoshan, did you hear that? Tongtong has a good relationship with dad, and she is sending a message to you on his behalf!"

"Well, this is obviously..." Luo Shan wanted to say that this was obviously Tongtong fooling around, but Shao Tianchi suddenly frowned, "Xiao Shan, don't talk nonsense. Although you can't be superstitious in the new era, sometimes you have to believe in the dead.

People can be psychic. Our daughter is so spiritual. If she said grandpa promised her, then it must be true!"

Luo Shan's eyes widened in disbelief, "Ah? This...is this really okay?"

Shao Tianchi said seriously: "Why not? Haven't you ever heard of people calling gods and souls in the countryside? Well, since dad has spoken, you have to listen. Dad doesn't blame you. Don't make any more trouble for yourself.

You are labeled as guilty, and you are not allowed to blame yourself in the future. Fulfill your father's instructions well, take good care of me, and give me a son when you are healthy again, you know?"

"Oh, I listen, listen, listen to daddy." Luo Shan was a little skeptical at first, but thinking that she had to let go of her psychological baggage in order to get out of depression, she chose to believe it, and suddenly she felt a lot more relieved.

"Yeah, that's great. When mommy gives birth to little baby, I'm going to give him a name!" Xiao Tongtong clapped her hands excitedly. She didn't know what was being calculated in her little head, her eyes were sly.

Turning round and round.

Luo Shan frowned, "Ah? Why do you, a little girl, want a younger brother to play with?"

She counted ten times and knelt down. Shao Tianchi stood up, pulled Luo Shan and Xiao Tongtong up, and said with a smile: "Tongtong, what name do you want to give your brother? Tell me."

Xiao Tongtong smiled and said: "Hehe, my sister-in-law said that she was pregnant with a boy. Then I thought about it, mommy can also give birth to a boy, and then he will be my brother.

, I watched anime for a few days before I came up with a name for my younger brother, it’s called Little Pumpkin!”

"Pfft!"

Luo Shan burst out laughing, "What little pumpkin? It's also a little watermelon!"

Shao Tianchi couldn't help but laugh, picked up his daughter and kissed her, "Haha, this name is creative, I'm just worried that my brother won't like it!"

Xiao Tongtong was angry, "Why don't you like it? The little pumpkin sounds so nice and round, and the pumpkin cake is delicious. If my brother doesn't like it, I won't play with him. I won't let others bully him.

Help him!"

Luo Shan was so angry that he couldn't help but poked Xiao Tongtong with his finger, "How dare you treat your brother as food? This foodie girl!"

Xiao Tongtong's small mouth was flat, and she had no words to refute Mommy, so she put her head into her father's neck and whispered, "Dad, Mommy is not fun."

Shao Tianchi chuckled and patted the back of his daughter's head, "Haha, after Tongtong becomes a sister, you have to protect your younger brother, you know? Otherwise, Mommy won't give you a younger brother."

"Oh." The little girl responded unconvinced.

Shao Tianchi looked at the tombstone again and said in a solemn voice: "Dad, I will bring Xiaoshan and Tongtong to see you more in the future. Don't worry too much about us. Tianlin is getting married soon, Tianqi's child is about to be born, Tianjun

If he has a suitable girlfriend and I help him get married, my mother will wake up soon. The doctor said it will be soon. Everyone is fine. I hope my father is in heaven. Now let’s go see Lin Lan’s mother. Another day

Come visit dad again."

Hearing the words "Lin Lan's mother", Luo Shan was in a daze for a moment. What did he say? He actually called her biological mother mother?

"Grandpa, goodbye! Today's conversation was very pleasant. Tongtong will come to see grandpa again!" Xiao Tongtong waved towards grandpa's photo and said goodbye warmly.

Luo Shan bowed again, "Dad, let's go. Tianchi loves you, and I love you too!"

After taking the remaining flower baskets and bouquets and leaving, Luo Shan found the tombstones of Lin Lan and Qiao Guoping based on his childhood memories, offered sacrifices respectively, and then the three of them knelt down in front of Lin Lan's tomb.

Looking at Lin Lan's photo, Luo Shan seemed to be laughing and crying, and was overwhelmed with emotion, "Mom, I am Xiaoshan. Forgive me for not knowing you are my mother until not long ago. For so many years, I always thought you were just my eldest aunt.

Unexpectedly, it was my biological mother! Mom, you gave me a new life with your own life. When I knew the truth, I didn’t know how to face you. It has been thirty years and you have been gone for thirty years.

Year, your daughter is nearly thirty years old, mother..."

"Mother Lin Lan, my name is Shao Tianchi, and I am the eldest son of your old friend Shao Zhongxiong. The grudges and resentments of those years have passed away. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother Xu Meifen. Please accept it!" Shao Tianchi finished speaking with a heavy face and leaned over.

He kowtowed, then raised his eyes, and continued: "Xiaoshan was once my wife. We divorced because of a misunderstanding. Over the years, Xiaoshan has suffered a lot. For the rest of my life, I promise you that I will use my life to protect Xiaoshan."

, I will never let her get hurt in the slightest again, please rest assured, mother Lin Lan!"
