Three or Two Things about Rebirth

In August 2016, Qiu Luming and his family of three signed up for the first Harbin Marathon.

A total of more than 33 runners from 3 countries and regions participated in the Hammarathon, most of whom participated in the mini marathon. The most important thing is to participate. Qiu Luming and his wife had no experience in competitions. They just saw that the competition date was close to the time when Jiaojiao went to Beijing to study, so they also signed up for the mini race to join in the fun.

At the starting point, Central Street, they actually saw Xie Guang.

Xie Guang was wearing fine equipment and doing warm-ups. When he saw Qiu Luming, his eyes suddenly lit up. He ran over with a smile and stretched out his right hand to high-five her from a distance. "I say, can you run? Are you going to give up the race just to take a photo and post it on WeChat Moments?"

The warmth was so great, as if we were old friends whom we had just met yesterday.

After the high-five, Xie Guangcai saw that Zheng Wei was beside her, so he stretched out his long arms and gently hugged Qiu Luming, "Come on, come on!" He also happily patted her on the back three times.

After letting go, he gave Zheng Wei a fake smile and said, "Do you want me to take a photo for you?"

"Use it!" Qiu Luming handed him the phone.

Xie Guang raised his phone and realized that there was another Jiaojiao among them. The three of them were wearing the same competition uniforms, the same smiles, and they were indescribably harmonious. He shook his head helplessly, took a few group photos, turned the camera around, turned around quickly, raised his phone, and took a picture of himself and his family, then laughed, stuffed the phone into Qiu Luming's hand, and ran away, "Don't delete!"

"You're in your thirties, but you still act like a child!" Qiu Luming said with a smile as he looked at Xie Guang's head on the phone.

Zheng Wei frowned tightly.

"Mom, he's so handsome!" said Jiaojiao.

Zheng Wei's brows furrowed even deeper, "As handsome as your father?"

"Not really!" Jiaojiao answered immediately.

At the start of the race, Jiaojiao ran to the front. Zheng Wei could have accelerated, but he slowed down to accommodate Qiu Luming. After two kilometers, Qiu Luming's shoelaces came undone twice, and Zheng Wei squatted down to tie them for her. Then they were overtaken by a white-haired old man in his sixties.

Qiu Luming was stunned at first, then he laughed out loud, took out his phone and recorded the back of the white-haired old man, "Our speed is really good! Why don't you run first!"

"That won't work!"

"You are so nice. I didn't misjudge you." After recording, Qiu Luming said a few more words to make Zheng Wei happy. She didn't want him to exercise with emotion.

In fact, Zheng Wei was sweating when he ran, and the depression brought by Xie Guang also dissipated. Xie Guang, this kid, would deliberately put some eye drops on him every year when he returned to Jiayang for the New Year to annoy him. He was a man of thirty-seven or eighty years old, but he refused to get married, which made him dare not slack off.

But today his wife spoke to coax him, which made him particularly happy.

It took Qiu Luming 50 minutes to run slowly over the five kilometers. The finish line of the mini run was crowded with people. The full marathon and half marathon runners were still running over there, but here people were already popping champagne to celebrate. The happy atmosphere infected Qiu Luming and Zheng Wei. They hugged each other involuntarily after crossing the finish line. Zheng Wei even put his arms around her waist and held her around for two circles.

"Gahaha gahaha! The two of you are almost a hundred years old together, and you are still doing this!" It was Qiu Moshi's voice. He pulled Zheng Wei's arm and urged, "Hurry up, let Youyou move around, don't stop right away!"

Zheng Wei quickly let go of his wife, took her hand and jogged to the side.

This time, the four families of the four Qiu siblings gathered in Harbin. Except for Dabao who was studying in the UK and could not attend, the rest of them were all there.

Qiu Huaixin's family moved into a large flat of more than 300 square meters three years ago. The decoration is the Nordic style that Liu Xiaomei likes, but Dabao is not at home all the time, so it's just the couple. No one knows why they had to buy such a big house. Every time Qiu Luming comes, he doesn't dare to speak loudly, as he always feels that there will be an echo.

Liu Xiaomei smiled and said, "When I first moved in, I cleaned the house carefully, but after two months I couldn't stand it anymore and hired a housekeeper to clean the house once a week. My mom and dad have never been here, so I showed them the photos. Guess what my dad said?"

Qiu Luming interjected, "The room is too big to gather energy."

"Yes! That's what our dad said, and he also said it was a waste of time." Liu Xiaomei shook her head, "But your eldest brother likes this big house. He said that he grew up living in a crowded place, and he will definitely live in a big house when he has his own family."

Qiu Moshi snorted, "After all, he was an only child for three years when he was young. We shared a kang with everyone since we were born, and we didn't complain, but he dared to complain!"

Qiu Luming said, "Brother, are you still working so hard? Don't you even take a good rest?"

A year and a half ago, Qiu Huaixin suffered a heart attack during an operation and nearly died on the job. Liu Xiaomei was terrified. She had just retired and was traveling around, but now she is not going anywhere. She stays with Qiu Huaixin in Harbin. She had originally planned to visit Dabao's school in the UK, but she gave up on that plan.

Qiu Huaixin originally had the best physical condition among the three brothers, but he worked too hard over the years. It can be said that his fame and fortune were all gained by overdrawing his health.

At the moment he collapsed, he realized what was most important. He regretted not following his father's advice to take care of his body. After being discharged from the hospital, he significantly reduced his workload, focused on training his students, and even took time out to travel with Liu Xiaomei for a few days.

Liu Xiaomei explained, "Your eldest brother has an operation this morning and this afternoon, so he will definitely be back early. By the way, your eldest brother used to look down on you and our dad doing standing practice boxing, but now he is also practicing!"

"Heh, it's not too late to practice now. It's a pity that a self-proclaimed nerd with a super high IQ has been ignoring the watermelon at home for so many years and bending over outside to pick up sesame seeds!"

"Yes, yes, you are the smartest~" Liu Xiaomei smiled and patted Qiu Luming, "I think Jiaojiao is very insightful and can box in a very good way."

Qiu Jiashu is the busiest person. This time he came to the provincial department for a meeting. It was good enough that he could spare a day to attend the party.

Qiu Jiashu is currently serving as the deputy chief of the Criminal Technology Brigade of the Municipal Bureau and also the chief of the Document Inspection Brigade. Last year, he was selected into the National Youth Criminal Technology Talent Pool. He is also the leader of the provincial document inspection and audio-visual professional discipline. Over the years, he has been awarded the third-class individual merit four times and commendation twice.

It must be admitted that after the transfer, his personal talents have been brought into full play. For more than ten years, he has never relaxed his professional and technical studies, constantly improving his academic qualifications and professional skills, and finally he has emerged in his own professional field.

Of course, there was very little time to take care of the family. Although she had help from her parents' family, Fang Yuan still sacrificed a lot for her family.

When Kuan Kuan first went to college, Fang Yuan was very uncomfortable and almost bought a house near Harbin Institute of Technology, saying that even if the child could not go home every day, at least he would be closer.

But in the end, she still chose to stay in Yi City to take care of Qiu Jiashu. ——She had to take good care of her own things.

Today, Qiu Jiashu is more "lethal" than when he was young. He is a mature and successful man, and the most attractive. Although he is usually serious, he still attracts the favor and admiration of women of all ages. Even Qiu Luming feels that when his second brother puts on a police uniform, he gives people the feeling of a Confucian general.

In fact, Fang Yuan didn't need to be so nervous. The children of the Qiu family were all very self-disciplined and valued their reputation very much, except for Qiu Luming who blatantly declared that he particularly liked to look at all kinds of handsome guys.

Kuan Kuan was just like Qiu Jiashu in the past. Since primary school, there have been girls following him to show their affection. Some wrote love letters, some confessed their love to him in person, and some even ran up to Fang Yuan and called her grandma. Oh, why are children nowadays like this? But Kuan Kuan was a little late in maturing, naive, and didn't understand anything. He even showed his love letters to his mother.

It was not until the third year of junior high school that he began to care about it. Fang Yuan was afraid that it would affect his high school entrance examination, so he said to his son: Son, it is irrational to date too early. If you are not in the same high school in the future, it will be too easy to break up. Isn't that a waste of love!

When she was in high school, she said again: I don’t know if I can get into a university or even live in a city! Isn’t that a waste of love?

Kuan Kuan laughed and said: I know, I know, Mom, don't worry, I won't do anything wrong!

Kuan Kuan is a very kind child, with a good temper and always smiling. Unlike Qiu Jiashu who always used fists to solve problems, he is willing to take a step back on some things and does not feel that he has suffered any loss. He is not very eloquent, so he rarely argues with others, but he is not afraid to speak at critical moments, which makes He Manshu feel relieved.

Qiu Jiashu was once worried that his son's personality would be bullied by boys, but Kuan Kuan said that no one bullied him. ——How can a top student be bullied!

Fang Yuan was worried that her son would be deceived by girls. Now that he was in college, she was worried that the girls at the university were excellent, but not pretty enough...

Kuan Kuan has been admitted to the same university for postgraduate study, but he still doesn't have a girlfriend. Fang Yuan secretly regrets that he shouldn't have tricked his son into not having a relationship in middle school.

Fang Yuan retired from her post as a regimental commander at the age of 43. She chose to find a job on her own, received a retirement allowance, and received a monthly pension of more than 10,000 yuan. She lived a comfortable life in Yi City.

Liu Xiaomei's pension is much less than Fang Yuan's, which is only one-fourth of hers. If she had stayed in the financial system, she would have been much better off. But a family where both husband and wife focus on their own careers will most likely fall apart, and the children will not be well taken care of.

Therefore, one person always has to give up his or her own ideals and plans to support the other half's career and provide logistics guarantees for the children.

Liu Xiaomei gave up her job in a bank and has been doing the most ordinary job in a hospital. It can be said that she has no sense of accomplishment. Over the years, she has never attended a class reunion and has never sung "Lang Ben Lang Liu" again.

Qiu Moshi got married at the age of 45, and his wife is 20 years younger than him.

Mr. and Mrs. Qiu Jiye didn't care about anything else as long as their eldest son was willing to get married.

Now Qiu Moshi's son Dun Dun has just turned one year old. I heard that they plan to have another child in two years, preferably a daughter. After their gathering, Qiu Moshi's family will return to Jiayang to let his parents see the child.

The children of the Qiu family all have one trait: they are all obsessed with a sense of achievement. For example, Qiu Huaixin is obsessed with overcoming medical difficulties, challenging more difficult surgeries, and stubbornly changing his family's house to a bigger one; Qiu Jiashu is committed to improving his professional skills, and especially enjoys solving cases after a dark period; Qiu Moshi likes to make money constantly, and he can no longer be called an intellectual, he is a businessman. Another thing is that he has been obsessed with making things difficult for his brother-in-law Zheng Wei for many years, and he loves to see his angry but not daring expression.

Among the four siblings, Qiu Luming is the one who loves enjoyment the most and is also the most realistic. She likes beautiful clothes, delicious food, handsome men, and a comfortable and peaceful life. What she often says is that she wants to thank God for allowing us to be born in a peaceful and stable country.

Her obsession is to live near her parents.

Jiaojiao went to college, and the house suddenly became empty, and the clinic was too busy to run.

Zheng Wei had the same problem as Fang Yuan. He missed his daughter so much that when he sent his daughter to school in early September, he couldn't help but shed "hero's tears" and lingered at the school gate for a long time, reluctant to leave.

Thinking that he still had more than ten years to retire and couldn't follow his little girl to Beijing to study, he was completely disappointed. Qiu Luming was a little sad and worried at first, but after Zheng Wei's intervention, he just focused on recording the video and his mood actually improved a lot.

The couple returned to Jiayang, and another small incident occurred.

Zheng Wei was extremely bored, so he started cleaning the house. He found a few special photos among a pile of photo albums in the study.

There are two photos that appear to be from the Republic of China period. One of the people in one photo actually looks very similar to Qiu Luming. There is also a photo that shows two foreigners, a man and a woman, both of whom have outstanding looks.
