Chapter 677 Three Rings

Since the city center slowly began to move north to Xixian New District, compared with five years ago, Dongguan Zheng Street did not change much. The most dazzling landmark building is still the building of the State Grid Shaanxi General Company, which is only a few dozen meters away from the family area of ​​the Municipal Health Bureau. Under the withered street lights, Erlong's elongated back looks a little lonely. If for Erlong, what is the most regrettable thing about Xue Ban in his life? That's nothing more than following Xue Ban home to meet her parents. At that time, she promised Xue Ban to meet her parents after she came back from Yulin. Xue Ban waited for a long time and was looking forward to taking Erlong home. A woman has many happy moments in her life, such as getting married, having children, and taking her boyfriend home for the first time, she was like a child who did something wrong, fearing that her parents would disagree.

Unfortunately, this promise was ultimately impossible. God didn't even give Erlong a day. As soon as he returned to Xue Ban in Yulin, something happened. The dog... God raised by his mother also changed his fate from this day on, and he went to another track. It was not a completely different place, but it was also very different.

When smoking these two cigarettes, Erlong recalled many little things with Xue Ban. When he was about to start facing the memories, he never thought of escaping. When he was just rescued by his master, his memory about Xue Ban was almost blank, as if he had built a high wall in his mind, forbidden anyone to step in, but deceiving himself still couldn't work in the end. After the erosion of time and memories, the wall finally collapsed, and Erlong could only face it.

Erlong now regrets that he was too inferior and did not agree to Xue Wan to see her parents early. After the two confirmed their relationship, Xue Wan proposed to take him to see her parents very early, but at that time Erlong refused. In front of outsiders, Erlong could take shamelessness to the extreme. His face was indeed comparable to the corner of the city wall, but in front of his beloved woman, Erlong's face was like a layer of paper. Which parent doesn't want his daughter's boyfriend to be an excellent man? At that time, Erlong thought he was not outstanding, just a gangster and a dog, and had not yet stood at the glamorous level, so he rejected Xue Wan, waiting for him to make a name for himself, and then followed her to see her parents. Later, Erlong slowly climbed to the position he thought was strong. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to go home with Xue Wan again, but now he can only move forward alone.

When standing in front of Xue Ban's house, Erlong couldn't lift his hand. After waiting for a while, Erlong smiled and said, "If you were there, it would be great."

pity……

Raising his arm, Erlong finally rang the doorbell.

This was a happy and harmonious home. After experiencing a white-haired man to send a black-haired man, the home was filled with sadness. On the sofa in the living room, there were an old man and an old man who was less than 60 years old but looked like a seventy-year-old man. The old man was covered in silver hair and old, wearing reading glasses, drinking tea while reading the newspaper. The old woman was holding a photo album in her hand, and she looked through page by page with a faint smile on her face, gently touching the familiar smile and figure on her. The TV in the living room was on, and there was a piece of news. The sound was loud and she could be heard in the whole room. However, the old man and the old woman didn't watch TV much, as if she wanted the sound to drive away the loneliness in her heart. She just occasionally looked up, so the old man and the old woman didn't hear the sound of Erlong knocking at the beginning.

Until the doorbell rang three times, the old man finally put down the newspaper and looked up slightly from the gap in his reading glasses and said, "Old woman, is there someone knocking on the door?"

The old lady was stunned. I didn't know what other customers would come so late. After closing the album and listening, there was indeed a knock on the door. The old lady muttered in a low voice, "Who will it be so late?"

The old man thought for a while and said, "Xue Rui left at noon. Zifeng and Mingyue came over and called. I don't know who it was. The old woman can go and have a look."

The old lady stood up with a little difficulty and bent over and moved over step by step. She was old and sick. The old lady's legs and feet were getting worse and worse. In addition, she had a surgery for cerebral hemorrhage two years ago, otherwise she might not even be able to save her life. The old man was almost the same. High blood pressure and heart disease are now pestering him. Fortunately, the two of them can take care of themselves. Aunt Zhao has always wanted to take the two old people over to live together, but the old man refused, saying that if they left, Xue Wan came back tonight, who would open the door for her and who would cook for her, the child would be lonely alone. Whenever the two old people said this, Aunt Zhao couldn't help it, and she could only have two old people, but she hired them a hourly worker, and came to cook and clean the house every day. She would come to see them with Mingyue a few times a week.

After a few seconds, the old lady opened the inside and there was a layer of anti-theft network outside. After staring at Erlong for a few seconds, the old lady asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for?"

Erlong looked at the old lady in disbelief. Although he had never met Xue Wan's parents, he had also seen Xue Wan's parents from her mobile phone and computer and photos at home. In the photos, Xue Wan's mother was not so old, her hair was still black, and she looked energetic. Why did she look like this now, with white hair, wrinkles and age spots on her face, and hunched over, and she didn't look like her? If it weren't for the vague identification of her appearance, Erlong really thought she had run away from the wrong place.

When the old lady saw Erlong not talking, she just stared at her in a daze, frowned and asked again, "Young man, who are you looking for? Why don't you talk?"

Erlong came back to his senses, thought for a while and said sadly, "Auntie, I am Erlong, I'm back to see you and uncle."

"Erlong?" the old lady murmured to herself, and began to search for memories of this name in her mind. After thinking for a long time, she suddenly realized, "You are Erlong, you are the boyfriend of the Banner? Are you back from the army with the child?"

"As a soldier?" Erlong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Well, auntie, I'm back."

Erlong naturally didn't know that this was a lie that Aunt Zhao gave him to him later to prevent Xue Fan's parents from getting angry. After all, Erlong was still a vegetable at that time, and there was no possibility of seeing Xue Fan's parents, and there was no possibility of returning to Xi'an. As Xue Fan's boyfriend, Erlong had not appeared for so many years after Xue Fan's death. Even if Xue Fan's parents were Bodhisattvas, Aunt Zhao could only make up a panic and told Xue Fan's parents that he had never dared to tell Erlong that Xue Fan had an accident and lied to her that Xue Fan had gone abroad for investigation. After he was discharged from the hospital, he told him that something happened to Xue Fan. Erlong couldn't think about it for a moment and couldn't let it go. In anger, he went to the army to join the army. He said that he didn't want to stay in Xi'an. This was his sad place, and there were memories of Xue Fan everywhere. The two old men believed Aunt Zhao's words, but they were not angry, and could only say that the child was suffering.

Now that Erlong is back, the old lady is sure that it is Erlong, she turned to the old man in the living room and shouted, "Old man, come out quickly and see who is coming. Erlong is back, he is back." As he said that, the old lady started to sob, and the sad thing was revealed again. Erlong forced himself to endure it and told himself that he must endure it.

After hearing the old woman's shout, the old man quickly put down the newspaper and jogged over. He was stunned when he saw Erlong. They had seen a photo of Xue Ban and Erlong together in Xue Ban's relics. Erlong in the photo still had a watermelon head, and still smiled like a fool. At that time, the old man was not very fond of this son-in-law. Now Erlong has no watermelon head, slender short hair, and smiles. He is so calm that it is terrifying that the old man subconsciously thought that it was his daughter's death that changed Erlong. He held the old lady and sighed, "Child, you have suffered."

The more the two old men were like this, the more guilty Erlong felt a little ashamed. He didn't know what would happen if the two old men knew that everything was caused by themselves.

The old man comforted the old lady for a few words, then opened the door and welcomed Erlong in. Erlong still held back, holding back the resentment, holding the old lady, and comforting softly. After arriving in the living room, Erlong looked at the photo of Xue Ban hanging on the wall of the living room, and his eyes could no longer be separated. The white-haired man sent a black-haired man, and the yin and yang were separated. If he hadn't met himself, perhaps Xue Ban would have been married, had children, took care of his husband and children, and lived a dull and happy life.

The old man and the old lady did not disturb Erlong, so they let him watch this way, knowing that Erlong still couldn't forget Xue Ban, otherwise he wouldn't have come to see him. After a few minutes, Erlong, who came to his senses, turned around and looked at the old man and the old lady and said in a deep voice, "Uncle, aunt, sorry."

The old man and the old lady naturally didn't know what Erlong said, and the old lady whispered, "It's okay, come, sit down and drink some water."

The old lady sitting next to Erlong held Erlong's hand tightly and did not let go, trembling slightly. Erlong could feel the excitement in the old lady. The old man asked softly, "Erlong, when will he be back, demobilized or visiting relatives?"

Erlong thought about it and could only continue to make up for it. "Demeducation, how many days will it take for him to come back." Erlong turned to look at Xue Yan's photo and whispered, "I miss her, come back and take a look."

The old man sighed and asked, "Are you still alone?"

Erlong nodded and replied, "Yes, alone."

The old man sighed, "It's been five years, forget her. You are not young anymore, and it's time to start a family and start a business. Don't delay yourself. Xue Yan doesn't want you to be like this. Only when you live well can she feel at ease."

The old lady patted Erlong's hand and echoed, "Child, the old man is right, don't delay yourself, otherwise we will feel guilty."

Erlong didn't know what he should say, so he could only say lightly, "Uncle, Auntie, don't worry, I know."

The old man said in a deep voice, "It's good to know. When getting married, you must tell us that we will see who the child is so lucky for Xue Yan, but she doesn't have the blessing to enjoy."

The old man and the old lady asked Erlong some trivial matters about his army. Erlong could only continue to lie. They treated Erlong as their son-in-law and cared about it. The more they did, Erlong felt more uncomfortable. When he knew that the two old people were suffering from illness, Erlong thought for a while and said, "Uncle, aunt, I have something I want to tell you."

The old lady smiled and said, "If you have anything to do, just say it."

Erlong replied, "Uncle and Auntie, Xue Yan may have told you that I was an orphan since I was a child and grew up alone, so I want to recognize the two elders as my godfather and godmother, and I can take care of your two elders in the future."

Erlong means, the old man and the old lady understand. The old man shook his head and said, "Child, why bother? We can take care of ourselves."

Erlong suddenly stood up, knelt on the ground without hesitation, and said like a sinner who atones for sin, "Uncle and Auntie, if you don't agree to me, I won't get up today. This is the only thing I can do for Xue Yan now."

"Child, what are you doing?" the old lady said in surprise.

Erlong didn't speak, just knelt.

The old man and the old lady looked at each other, sighed and shook their heads, thought for a few minutes, and finally nodded, "Since you said so, we can only agree, okay, someone will die when they are old."

Erlong felt more or less comfort in his heart, and he looked up slightly and said, "Godfather, godmother."

"Why"

The old man and the old lady stood up while holding Erlong and responded with red eyes.

Finally got what he wanted. Erlong felt much better. He chatted with the old man and the old lady. He was not ready to leave until after ten o'clock. He told the old man and the old lady to see them again in two days, so he got up and prepared to leave. The old man and the old lady supported him while sending him out, and told him to take care of himself, don't catch a cold, wear more clothes, etc., just like his own child leaving.

Just as he first went out, Erlong couldn't help but turn his head again. When he saw the reluctance in the eyes of the two old men, Erlong could no longer hold it in. He knelt down again without any warning and looked at the two old men.

"Bang, bang, bang"

After kowtowing three times, the sound of bang bang echoed in the corridor. The two old men were puzzled, and only Erlong understood what these three bangs mean.q!~!
