Roaming in the dark

Chapter 320 Sheng Chuncheng Thinks About It
Sheng Chuncheng thought about it, and asked, "Uncle is a scientist?"

"No, he's a crew member."

Yanyan said: "There is a ship called 'Xiangyanghong 10', I don't know if you know it. In November 1984, our country organized the Antarctic expedition team for the first time to carry out scientific investigation missions in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica. a boat, and my dad was on that boat. But then, he was a lad, and I didn't know where he was."

"Later, my father met my mother through someone's introduction. As an oceangoing crew member, every time he came back, he would rest at home for half a month and a month, and then go out for a few months and a half year. There was no news, and he seemed to be missing. Same. Especially the 'Xiangyanghong' No. [-], which was the most advanced and largest tonnage scientific research ship in our country at that time, their tasks were very heavy.

"My parents got married late, and after they got married, it took many years to give birth to me. My father loves my mother very much. The scientific research ship is at sea, and many times the phone cannot be reached. My father likes to write letters. He was on the boat and would write a letter to my mom every day.

"Later, after having me, my father changed to write me a letter every day, with greetings to my mother. He wrote his experiences at sea and abroad, and his daily work in the letter. When he came back, Bring the letters back, and one by one, my mother reads them to me.

"I remember when I was in elementary school, and after I started to read letters, what I looked forward to most every time was that my father would come back and bring these letters back to me. The date was written. When I read it, I also read it one by one according to the date. I started reading from the time he left his daughter, and when he said that he would be home tomorrow and could see his daughter.

"I like reading my father's letters the most. Every time I read each letter, it seems that I am following my father and going to the ocean together. I work with him every day and watch the sunrise and sunset on the sea together. Duo Duo, like the stars that are about to fall from the sky to the sea, watched the flying fish together, and jumped on the sea with the ocean-going ship.

"Like my parents, couples who gather less and leave more will definitely have problems. It was also when I was in the third grade of elementary school that my mother and other men fell in love. The two of them divorced. I was Awarded to my mother.

"But I don't like living with them. I still like to follow my father. I live in my father's house. My mother begged me many times, but I insisted not to go back. Later, my mother had no choice but to follow me.

"Dad didn't remarry. When he was away, I was waiting for him at home alone, reading the letters he left me. When he came back, he would still bring me more letters, even with the satellite later. Telephone, when we can also talk at sea, we rarely talk.

"Dad is still used to writing me letters every day. I still like to wait for my father's letter. A letter is a line connecting one point to another. Only when there is a distance can the letter show its preciousness. If you talk at any time, the distance There will be no more, Dad’s desire to write letters may be gone, and the anxiety I was waiting for him to come back may also disappear.

"So we rarely talk on the phone. Just like to keep this old habit, let the letter be the link between us.

"When I could write letters, I also started to write letters to my father. Of course not every day, I don't think I have so many things to tell my father. It is also strange, obviously I am on land, he is at sea, his daily The scope of activities is very small, and life is very monotonous, but why, my father has so many words every day, but I have become very monotonous?
"Later, every time Dad came back, the exchange of letters was a big event between us. Dad gave me the letter he wrote to me, and I gave Dad the letter he wrote to Dad. We all finished eating and washing. After taking a good bath, I solemnly took out the letter and exchanged it. This is a ceremony between me and my father, and I miss it so much.

"When I was in high school, my father was sick and had kidney failure. In fact, he had symptoms before going to sea. I didn't know it, and neither did anyone else. My father was afraid that he would not be allowed to board the ship because of his illness. He had been with him all the time. Everyone hides their illness, he likes the sea too much, and loves life at sea too much.

"That time, they went out for more than seven months before returning. After returning, Dad finally couldn't hold on and went to the hospital. At this time, it was too late. Dad died in the hospital for more than a month.

"On the hospital bed, my father told me that the mainland was too noisy, too dirty, and there were too many people. He really wanted to die in Antarctica, covered by ice and snow. It was like that in the past tens of thousands of years. Then It would be great, he felt that Antarctica was the pure land in his mind.

"I promised my father that I will definitely take you back to Antarctica, to the place where you first landed as a member of the Chinese scientific expedition team, and I will bury you there.

"After my father passed away, his ashes were never buried. I put him in a beautiful jar and kept it at home. Later, when I had money and the ability to go abroad, I took my father to Antarctica.

"Dad is very happy in the ice and snow in Antarctica. He told me in dreams several times, and told me that he has accumulated a lot of letters to me."

After Yanyan finished speaking, both of them were silent. After a while, Sheng Chuncheng raised his glass and said to Yanyan:

"Come on, let's respect uncle."

Yanyan said yes, she raised her glass, turned her head to the bookshelf, and shouted, "Dad, we are toasting you."

The two clinked glasses, drank the wine in the glasses, put down the glasses, Yanyan looked at Sheng Chuncheng and said:

"My story is over, what about yours?"

Sheng Chuncheng asked, "My what?"

Yanyan looked at Sheng Chuncheng and said word by word: "Do you still remember that I told you that there is a kind of sadness in your eyes?"

Sheng Chuncheng smiled and said, "Didn't I just get dumped by my girlfriend at that time?"

"No, it's not that sad to be dumped by your girlfriend." Yanyan said, "You know, the first time I saw you in Tonglu, what attracted me was the sadness in your eyes. This kind of sadness It is in your bones, and it has taken root in your body. There is a word called unforgettable, which refers to this kind of sadness.

"Even when you are happy, when you laugh, this kind of sadness is still lurking behind. By the way, I like to see you laugh, laugh, do you know why? When you smile, it is very clean, because in your bones With sadness, or to use a very clichéd word, melancholic temperament, this makes your smile very clean.

"Every time I look in the mirror and look at myself in the mirror, I can also see this kind of sadness from my own eyes. I feel that we are the same kind of people. Because of this, I will treat you So curious."

When Yanyan was talking, she kept looking at Sheng Chuncheng. Sheng Chuncheng looked up at her and smiled, but the smile was bitter.I was thinking in my heart, this girl's eyes are really poisonous, nothing can escape her eyes.
