Chapter 1513: Regaining freedom

Chapter 1513
I saw that Xu Zehua took off his prison uniform and put on his own shabby suit seven years ago. Because the whole person was thin, a lot of clothes looked a little bigger. He no longer longed for the usual tall and straight, hunched back. His hair was also gray, like a child who had just been punished, fragile and helpless.
Xu Yue hurried forward and hugged him tightly...
In the memory, this was the first hug between Xu Yue and her father. I didn’t think he was important when she was a child, and she never expressed her emotions, but through this incident, she truly understood the importance of family affection. Sex, understood how important his weight in her heart, and understood how strong the blood-connected emotions are.
"Dad, welcome home!" Xu Yue's tears fell uncontrollably.
"I finally waited until this day..." Xu Zehua didn't cry, he let out a long sigh of relief, as if all the grievances and depression over the years had been released at this moment.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I should come to see you sooner." Xu Yue said, looking at him guiltily.
This is the first time Xu Yue has looked at him so close in seven years. There is a reason why she looks so beautiful. Even though the years have left marks on his face, it is still difficult to conceal his elegance and handsomeness.
"Don't blame you, don't blame you..." Xu Zehua patted her daughter on the back, calming her emotions.
"We met again, do you remember me?" The deputy director walked up to Xu Zehua and said to him with a smile.
After hearing the voice of the deputy director, Xu Zehua let go of her arms holding Xu Yue, and she stepped aside.
"Why don't you remember, you caught me personally back then." Xu Zehua's eyes were full of sadness.
It turned out that the deputy director was the person who personally arrested Xu Zehua back then. No wonder he remembered this incident so clearly, and he could reverse the case in such a short time and make Li Wanxiang plead guilty.
"Sorry, I came here to apologize specifically to you. Back then, I thought I had cracked a big case. I didn't expect you to be framed. After so many years of appeals, you have been refuted. I even find it ridiculous. , I always feel that you are doing this because you don’t give up, Xu Zehua, I’m sorry, if I hadn’t been blinded by Li Wanxiang’s methods back then, you wouldn’t stay in jail for seven years. This is my fault..." said the deputy director. He bowed deeply to Xu Zehua.
Xu Yue was initially very angry, but seeing the sincere attitude of the deputy director, she didn't say much.
"Do you know how much I hated you when I first entered? Every time I was bullied by the so-called bosses in those prisons, I hated you more. You ruined me when my career was at its best Everything, my family, my family, all my misfortunes are thanks to you, and you, because you cracked a big case, you got promoted smoothly and became a hero that everyone admires. Now you know your mistake Now, who will pay for the seven years of grievances I have suffered?" Xu Zehua looked at the deputy director angrily, his expression very solemn.
"I know that what happened back then was really wrong with me. I didn't perform my duties, so I made a mistake in judgment. It was my fault that caused the situation today. So yesterday, the city leaders and I asked for instructions and decided to return that year. Confiscated your property, house and company, these are all the property certificates and house keys.
The deputy director took out a file folder and handed it to Xu Zehua.
Xu Zehua tremblingly took the heavy folder with both hands. It was the country he had laid down in half of his life...
"Also, before I came, I had already submitted a resignation report to the General Administration. It was you who told me with your actions that I am not worthy to be a people's policeman. I am willing to receive the punishment I deserve. This deputy chief's hat is also my step on your head. I brought it, and now I have completely lost it. Whether you accept my way of apologizing or not, I should say sorry to you. In the past seven years, I have wronged you..." Xu Yue was shocked by the words of the deputy director. Surprised.
The deputy director of the Tangtang Public Security Bureau could actually take off his black hat in order to make up for his mistake seven years ago. This move made Xu Yue admire him in her heart.
"What did you say?" Xu Zehua, like Xu Yue, was also startled by his words.
"I hope you can accept my apology, and I wish you a happy life in the following days, I will leave first." After the deputy director finished speaking, he turned into the car very smartly.
"Wait a minute!" Xu Zehua walked to the car and stopped the deputy director who was about to leave.
"Although it is because of your mistakes that made me suffer for seven years in vain, it is undeniable that you are a good policeman, because you have your own principles. Things like me are just an example. What you do for the people Everyone will not forget the contribution I made. My hatred for you is only the beginning. After a long time, I won’t blame you." Xu Zehua’s words made the deputy director sitting in the car burst into tears. It's raining... He slowly rolled up the car window, waved his hand to the window, and then left.
In fact, the deputy director does not have to be forgiven by Xu Zehua. As a policeman, he cannot forgive the mistakes he made. The case that he was proud of turned out to be framed in the end. This is for him. Said it is a kind of destructive destruction, everything he did was to seek forgiveness from his heart, but he did not know that no one would not make mistakes, and it is precisely because of a good policeman like him that they would make them feel right. This profession is in awe.
After the deputy director left, Xu Zehua held the file bag and stood there in silence for a long time.
Seven years ago, he lost everything overnight, and now everything he lost is back in his hands. Such a big gap made him suspect that he was dreaming.
Xu Yue and He Dong stood by, trying to give him some time to buffer.
"Yueyue, let's go home." After a while, Xu Zehua turned and said to Xu Yue.
So Xu Yue and He Dong helped him into the car together.
Earth-shaking changes have taken place in the time outside in seven years. The original Nokia has become an Apple mobile phone, and even the tenth generation has been produced. The society has long developed into a technology, and Xu Zehua's eyes have become very blurred. After being out of touch with this society for seven years, he seemed a little out of place.
"The change is really big." Xu Zehua said with emotion looking out the car window.
"Yueyue, have you brought a mirror?" Suddenly, he asked Xu Yue.
Xu Yue nodded, took out the small mirror from her bag and handed it to him.
I saw Xu Zehua looking in the mirror for a long time, and then he was silent for a long time, looking disappointed...
He Dong saw Xu Zehua's lost expression through the rearview mirror, so he said, "Uncle, let's take you to a place first. After going there, we can go home and see Auntie, OK?"
He Dong's words not only made Xu Zehua curious, but Xu Yue also looked dazed.
"Where are you going?" Xu Yue asked puzzledly.
"You'll know when you get there," He Dong said with a smug smile on his face.
So they had to follow He Dong to the mysterious place first. After a while, Xu Yue found that the car had stopped at the private hairstyling shop he had brought her to.
He Dong took them in. While the clerk helped Xu Zehua wash her hair, He Dong asked the stylist to help Xu Zehua dye her hair black.
"Why do you want to do this?" Xu Yue still couldn't understand his intentions.
"Uncle, you wash here first, and Yueyue and I will go out for a while, will you come back soon?" He Dong ignored her, but walked to Xu Zehua and said to him.
"it is good."
After hearing Xu Zehua's response, He Dong took Xu Yue's hand and walked out.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't you understand? This is the tacit understanding between men. Didn't you see how lost your dad was after looking in the mirror while he was in the car? Do you know why?" He Dong asked her.
Xu Yue shook her head
"You think, your father and your mother haven’t seen each other for so long. As a man, he definitely hopes that he can appear in front of the woman he likes in the best possible state, but when he sees his shabby suit and gray hair At that time, he was instantly disappointed. He didn't want your mother to see him like this. This is a kind of face that exists in a man's bones." After hearing He Dong's words, Xu Yue suddenly realized.
If you think about it, it's not just your father, but your mother is the same. Whenever you hear that your father is going home, he keeps trying to beat yourself up. Sometimes love is really cute. The so-called face is a manifestation of love...
Then He Dong took Xu Yue to the nearby shopping mall and bought Xu Zehua a new suit and shoes. In this respect, he did know a lot better than her.
After buying the goods, they returned to the store again. At this time, Xu Zehua’s white hair had been dyed back to black, and he seemed to be younger than a teenager. The whole person looked much more energetic. Xu Yue looked from his face. I saw a happy smile.
Immediately after, He Dong helped Xu Zehua put on a new suit. The moment they came out, Xu Yuefang went back to seven years ago. At this time, Xu Zehua is thinner compared to seven years ago, and there is no other change. Handsome and energetic.
"Dad, you are so handsome!" Xu Yue said, looking at him blankly.
"Hahaha, I can see your mother well now." Xu Zehua laughed happily.
Sure enough, men understand men. He Dong's move made Xu Zehua's mood much better.
In just a few hours, Xu Zehua seemed to have completely changed a person, the initial vicissitudes of life disappeared, and a sense of youth exuded all over his body.
Xu Yue thought, Mom would be very excited when she saw her father like this!
After everything was ready, they couldn't wait to return home...
Xu Yue couldn’t imagine what kind of affection her parents would have when they met again, but she just felt that this day was too difficult, just like when she met He Dong again, she couldn’t believe that she could do it again in this life. When I met him, she believed in fate while still holding on to her original intention. She thought they were the same. Although at their age, they would not express their love as clearly as she and He Dong are now, but the emotion in her heart is Will never change...
As the car was driving on the road, Xu Zehua looked at the strange world with curiosity in his eyes. Regaining freedom is also a rebirth for him. He will face this unpredictable world again and be with his favorite person.
He Dong talked to Xu Zehua about all the changes happening outside like a tour guide while driving.
While Xu Zehua was curious, he also felt disappointed. If he hadn't been imprisoned in the past seven years, what would he look like now?
Xu Yue watched her father secretly, she couldn't figure out what he thought, because she didn't have much emotional communication with her father in the memory, so she remembered him the most during this period of time, and she was ashamed to think about it. But she will definitely cherish the days when the family is together and do her best to make her parents feel at ease and happy.
"Yueyue, do you know where Xiaomei is now?" Xu Zehua finally asked the question Xu Yue was most afraid of him asking.
As a father, it is normal for him to worry about his daughter, but Xu Yue doesn't know how to tell him what Xu Mei has done over the years, including the fact that Xu Mei and Li Wanxiang's son are together.
Xu Mei grew up when her father was a child. Unlike Xu Yue, she only knew that she had a father when she was seven or eight years old. In addition, the death of her mother made her father feel guilty towards her. In a sense, Xu Mei has a heavy weight in his father's heart, so Xu Yue decided to hide Xu Mei's whereabouts first.
"We haven't contacted for a long time. I heard that she was out of town. In short, you have a good time. Don't worry, I will let her see you when she comes back." Xu Yue said to him with a smile.
"Really? As long as she has a good life, she has a good life." After hearing Xu Yue's words, Xu Zehua's face showed a gratified smile.
As long as Xu Zehua knows that Xu Mei is living well, he is very satisfied. The greatest love in this world is the love of parents for their children. They don't ask you to have any in return, as long as you live a happy life.
Xu Yue was thinking, if Xu Mei knew about his father's return, would he be happy or disappointed. No one could guess Xu Mei's thoughts. Xu Yue wanted to find time to talk to Xu Mei.
"We are here." As soon as He Dong finished speaking, Xu Yue found that the car had stopped downstairs.
She suddenly became nervous, and she didn't know what her mother was doing at home now.
Xu Zehua sat in the car and stared at the residential building outside through the window, with a look of guilt on his face.
"Yueyue, have you and your mother lived here these years?" Xu Zehua asked Xu Yue in a low voice after getting off the car.
"Yeah, it's pretty good here. The neighbors are very enthusiastic about us. Although the house is a bit old and a bit smaller, it is enough for me and my mother to live in." Xu Yue said with a smile.
Xu Zehua looked around and remained silent.
"Then let's go up there, my mother is waiting for us up there." Xu Yue took Xu Zehua's arm as she said.
"That... Yueyue, I won't go up, my company still has things to deal with." The man behind him suddenly called Xu Yue.
Xu Yue suddenly remembered that He Dong hadn't been to the company because of her father's affairs. It must have delayed him a lot of things, and she was so happy to ignore him.
"Then go quickly, and be safe on the way."
"He Dong, thank you for this period of time. I heard Yueyue say that without you I would not be released so soon. When you have time to come to eat at home, I will thank you very much." Xu Zehua expressed to He Dong Thanks.
"Uncle, you are polite. This is what I should do. I have time to come to my house and have a good drink with you. Today, if my company has something to do with you, I can't accompany you. Then I will go first?" Said.
"Okay, well, then you are busy, go ahead and drive safely." Xu Zehua said and waved to him.
Xu Yue also waved to He Dong, and after watching his car drive a long way out, she and her father turned upstairs.
"He Dong is a good boy. I can tell that he is really good to you. Yueyue, you can find such a good boyfriend. Dad is very happy for you from the heart!" In the elevator, Xu Zehua looked relieved. Said to her daughter.
Dad's words made Xu Yue's heart happy. In such a short period of time, he was able to get his father's approval. He is truly He Dong, an outstanding man from childhood to adulthood!
Ding……
The elevator door opened, and Xu Yue and Xu Zehua walked out of the elevator together.
When she reached the door, she heard him take a deep breath.
At this moment, Xu Yue's heartbeat also accelerated a lot. She took out the key from her bag, turned it open, and opened the door the moment her mother just walked out of the kitchen.
"Yueyue? Why did you come back so early today? Did the company give you a holiday again?" Because Xu Zehua was behind Xu Yue, Xu's mother did not see him.
Xu Yue didn't speak, but turned and moved behind her father.
They both froze for a long time when they saw each other. At a distance of nearly three meters, no one approached anyone. They watched each other silently until their eyes were red, until the tears fell...
Xu Yue watched silently from the side, moved by this silent love.
I don't know how long they were silent. Finally, Xu Zehua slowly walked to his wife's side and wiped away the tears from her face with red eyes and hands.
"After so many years, you are still the same as you were back then, nothing has changed." Xu Zehua said, looking at her with gentle eyes.
"Why, I am old, but you are still as young and handsome as before." Xu's mother looked at Xu Zehua with obsessive eyes like a girl, perhaps only they could understand the emotion.
No matter how cruel time is, how deep marks are left on your face and body, in my eyes, you will always be the most beautiful (most handsome) and youngest appearance. Time can take away a lot, but only I can't take away my love for you alone!
This scene left a deep mark in Xu Yue's heart. This is a testimony of her parents' love!
After two sentences, they embraced each other for the first time in front of them. This was the first time Xu Yue grew up to see them hugging. They did not cry, Xu Yue cried...
At this time, Xu Yue’s mobile phone prompts the sound, and when you turn it on, it’s a message from He Dong: The company is okay, don’t worry, I left to be able to reunite your family of three, and now I’m playing with the little guy Mingyu .
Later, a selfie of him and Mingyu was posted.
It turned out that he left just to allow the three of them to reunite well, to be moved and at ease. He Dong's goodness is no longer what Xu Yue can describe with words or words.
"Look, Yueyue didn't tell me that you can come back today. I haven't prepared anything yet. I just marinated your favorite pork belly. I have to wait a few days for it to taste." Mother Xu looked like Said to her husband like a panicked little girl.
"It doesn't matter, we have time." Xu Zehua said softly.
His words moved Xu Yue very much. After experiencing how difficult it was, Dad could say this with such confidence. There will be time in the future, and all the time will be theirs.
Mother Xu’s face bloomed with joy. Xu Yue thought she would be sensational for a long time without seeing them in seven years, and she would cry in a mess, but no, apart from being moved, they were like old couples who had never separated. There was a smile, a happy and content smile appeared on his face...
"Dad, Mom, let's sit down and talk, don't stand up all the time." The two of them have been standing since they entered the door, so Xu Yue took them to sit on the sofa together.
"Yueyue, you help me bring the file bag at the door." Xu Zehua said to Xu Yue, pointing in the direction of the hallway.
After entering the door, he put the file bag in his hand at the door, where all his savings were.
Xu Yue got the paper bag and handed it to her father.
The hands held by the two on the sofa never let go, nor did the wife's eyes leave her husband.
Xu Yue was moved by such small details. They hadn't seen it in seven years. How much should they cherish such face-to-face time...
"You and Yueyue must have suffered a lot these years. I'm sorry, but I'm not qualified and didn't take care of you." Xu Zehua said to his wife with a look of guilt with the file bag in his hand.
"Zehua, those are all things in the past. As long as you are well, I didn't expect to see you again in the rest of my life. I just want to be with you in the next few days and spend our lives like an ordinary old couple. In the second half of his life, everything else is not important." Mother Xu said to him gently.
In fact, every woman in love is the same. She doesn’t need to be prosperous and wealthy, she doesn’t need such great material conditions, as long as she is plain, and she can be with the person she likes. That’s the way her mother is, and so is Xu Yue... …
"I know, but on this premise, I want you to live better than you are now. You see, all my property confiscated before has been returned to me. Soon we can move back to the original house. Everything will be exactly the same as before. You don't have to live in such a small house anymore." Xu Zehua opened the file bag and took out the key of the previous house and handed it to his wife.
"This...is this true?" Mother Xu looked at him with an incredulous expression, tears filled her eyes.
"Of course." Xu Zehua said with a smile.
Since the house was taken away by the state seven years ago, no one has ever lived in it. Although Xu Yue and her mother have visited a few times, they are not allowed to enter. They are looked after.
Every time my mother wanted to visit her old house, Xu Yue knew that she missed her dad. Now everything seems to be back. The property of the house company includes dad. I hope life can really get better...
