151 The Meaning of a Modern House
151 The meaning of modern "home"
"Xin'er, you have won the opportunity to study academic exchanges in Hong Kong this time. Do you want your mother to accompany you?" When she returned home for dinner, Leng Qiufen took the opportunity to ask Shangguan Wan'er at the dinner table.
"Mom, just stay with dad at home! It would be great if dad didn't go to work. All three of us could go there together!" I remembered that the family had a lot of fun in Hong Kong last time, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but sigh and said to Leng Qiufen.
"Follower, if Dad doesn't work, where will we get the money we have to study in Hong Kong?" Leng Qiufen replied to Shangguan Wan'er. To be honest, Leng Qiufen and his wife hope to be with her, even if they lose their jobs. But, when it's time to let go, they have to let go. What if they can't bear to give up?
"My parents can go to my aunt's company to work! My aunt is the boss. She has so many companies. Dad can go to her company to work as an engineer and can also make a lot of money!" Hearing Leng Qiufen mention Ouyang Jin's work, Shangguan Wan'er suggested to them that Ouyang Jin would go to Leng Qiuyu's company to work in Hong Kong. In this way, they can live happily together like last time.
"How can this work? Our home is here, can we move our home too?" Leng Qiufen asked her seriously, but she didn't expect that the child had a lot of ideas. Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's heart holding them and wanting them to go to Hong Kong together, Leng Qiufen felt warm in her heart.
"My parents refused to go to Hong Kong, and my aunt refused to come to Taiwan. She was obviously a family, so why couldn't she live together?" After hearing Leng Qiufen's words, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly said this angrily.
"Xin'er, because parents and aunts have different lives and different destinies. Therefore, they have different families. In fact, not all relatives can live together. There are always times of joy and sorrow in life." Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's very disappointed look, Leng Qiufen felt very unbearable, and she said to her patiently.
"Xin'er, your mother is right. Each of us has our own life. Sometimes, some things are not something we want to do exactly as we want. We need to think about too many things, and some things are not something we don't want, but we can't do that, do you understand?" Seeing Leng Qiufen's explanation so hard, Ouyang Jin also helped to enlighten Shangguan Wan'er. This child is very kind, but she also needs to know that reality is cruel. Some things are not something people can do whatever they want and do whatever they want.
"But, my mother is from Hunan and my father is from Taiwan. How could my mother marry so far? Why didn't she marry to Hong Kong and had to marry to Taiwan?" Seeing Ouyang Jin and Leng Qiufen join together to educate her this time, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes turned red, and she suddenly asked Leng Qiufen.
"I'm with your father, it's up to fate! Why did you suddenly ask such a thing?" I wonder why Shangguan Wan'er suddenly asked such a question, Leng Qiufen asked her a little confused.
"No, I just thought, it would be great if my father's home was in Hong Kong. We could live with my aunt forever!" Shangguan Wan'er replied to Leng Qiufen. It turned out that Shangguan Wan'er didn't only have Leng Qiuyu in her heart. She liked Leng Qiuyu, right, but she also liked to live with Ouyang and his wife.
"Xin'er, aren't you going to Hong Kong only for the few months during the winter vacation?" Seeing Shangguan Wan'er seemingly having a knot in her heart, Ouyang Jin asked her patiently.
"Yeah!" Shangguan Wan'er replied.
"That means that after the winter vacation, Xin'er still has to go back to Taiwan to continue to go to school, right?" Ouyang Jin continued to ask her.
"Yes!" Shangguan Wan'er replied.
"So, if we move our family to Hong Kong during the winter vacation and then move our family back to Taiwan after the winter vacation, wouldn't it be very inconvenient? Besides, home is not as simple as our luggage, how can we move it just by saying that we can move it. We are humans, not snails, how can we run around on our backs? Xin'er said, "Dad is right?" Ouyang Jinxun asked Shangguan Wan'er step by step again.
"Dad, we can't have a home in Taiwan and in Hong Kong. In this way, do we have a home no matter where we go?" Shangguan Wan'er asked back to Ouyang Jin after hearing Ouyang Jin's words.
"Xin'er, why do we call this place home? Because home is a place that shelters us from wind and rain, home is a warm harbor, home is a place where we can go home to rest when we are tired. If there is home everywhere, then who would care about this 'home'?" In the end, Ouyang Jin summarized the meaning of "home", and he said to Shangguan Wan'er meaningfully.
"But Xin'er wants to live with her aunt, and also with her parents. If her aunt is in Hong Kong and her parents are in Taiwan, how can my wish come true?" Finally, Shangguan Wan'er finally expressed her wish.
After saying so much and asking so much, Shangguan Wan'er thought in her heart that she just wanted to live with Leng Qiuyu and Ouyang forever.
"Xin'er, let's not discuss this issue today. Let's have a meal first, the food will be cold!" Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's question, Leng Qiufen and Ouyang Jin looked at each other. They didn't know how to answer the question raised by Shangguan Wan'er. Leng Qiufen immediately smoothed out and urged Shangguan Wan'er to have a meal soon.
Shangguan Wan'er has won the opportunity to go to Hong Kong for academic research and exchanges through her own efforts. Her wish to meet Leng Qiuyu soon will be realized soon. However, she is not only satisfied with this. She hopes that Ouyang and his wife can go to Hong Kong with her. She hopes that she, Ouyang and his wife, Leng Qiuyu, will live together forever.
But can her wish come true? Can the Ouyang couple listen to her, give up their home in Taiwan, follow her to Hong Kong, and live with her and Leng Qiuyu forever? In fact, this has always been what Leng Qiuyu hopes for. She mentioned this matter more than once and twice, but every time they were rejected by the couple. This time, I wonder, did they change this concept to meet Shangguan Wan'er?
