Three or Two Things about Rebirth

Liu Xiaomei reached out to pinch Qiu Luming's face, "Ha! Even you are teasing me!"

"How can it be a joke? It's all true!"

"Luming, tell me the truth, is your sister-in-law really that good without any shortcomings?" Liu Xiaomei let go of her hand and looked at Qiu Luming seriously.

"Well, how should I put it? You can't say that she has no shortcomings." Qiu Luming also became serious and really began to summarize his sister-in-law's shortcomings.

Qiu Moshi immediately held his forehead with his hand.

He Manshu picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in her daughter's bowl, "Yoyo, eat pork ribs, eat!"

"I'm full. Give it to my third brother." Qiu Luming didn't even look at the ribs. He said to his eldest sister-in-law, "I remember that you have two obvious shortcomings. The first is that the trouser seams you ironed for my eldest brother always have double eyelids. There have been several times when my eldest brother asked our mother to re-iron his pants. The second is that although your cooking is delicious, you always have the habit of tasting the food by the pot. Just like that, you use a spoon to scoop some soup to taste, and then pour the rest back into the pot."

There was silence in the room for three seconds. Qiu Luming looked at his mother in confusion, "What do you mean? Why do you have that expression? Can't you say this? My sister-in-law is not an outsider!"

Liu Xiaomei smiled awkwardly, "You can talk! Sister-in-law is not an outsider. Lu Ming is right. I am a little nearsighted and clumsy. I always have trouble ironing clothes, especially the trouser line. I have to learn from our mother in the future. Mom has to teach me more! As for the problem of tasting food, I really didn't notice it. I am really ashamed. I learned to cook from Dabao's grandmother when I was ten years old. It has been almost twenty years now. It has become a habit. I will change in the future. Please supervise me!"

"Good!" Qiu Luming applauded enthusiastically.

He Manshu sighed helplessly, no longer having the time to think about her second son's affairs, "Mei, your sister is a straightforward person, don't bother with her."

"No, not at all! I know Lu Ming treats me as her real sister, that's why she said that."

"Yeah, yeah!" Qiu Luming nodded repeatedly.

"That's good." He Manshu nodded, "From now on, just speak directly if you have something to say. Your sister won't understand if you beat around the bush!"

"Yes, yes. Mom, I'm also a straightforward person, I won't beat around the bush!"

It was getting dark, but Qiu Jiye and Qiu Huaixin had not returned home yet. The operation had lasted five or six hours. Liu Xiaomei took Dabao home while there was still daylight. Qiu Moshi wanted to send her off, but was refused. She put Dabao in the child seat on the beam, pedaled the bike for a few steps, lifted her right leg, and rode steadily on the bike, turning back and saying, "It's cold outside, let's go home!"

He Manshu was so scared that she urged him, "Ride slowly and watch the road!"

"Know it!"

As the sky gradually darkened, Qiu Luming turned on the lights and turned on the tape recorder, from which a song came out:

"No matter how it will end, at least we have been together. We don't need to bother to restrain each other, and we don't need verbal promises. As long as we have had it, it is enough for you and me..."

Qiu Luming thought of Zhou Lina, who had traveled thousands of miles to Jiayang. She was really brave. Listening to their conversation, it seemed that the two had let go and accepted the reality that they loved each other but could not be together. Her second brother was also stupid. He didn't care about his reputation at all. He just stayed with her day after day. If it got out, which girl would be willing to marry him, a silly boy who was obsessed with his ex?

Can people still love each other like this?

Can giving up so easily be considered true love?

Qiu Luming thought of the teacher-student love between Mr. Zhou and Xu Guangping, Hu Shi's "New Three Obediences and Four Virtues" to Jiang Dongxiu, the legendary love stories of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, as well as one Qiong Yao love story after another.

"...In a person's life, there are many memories. I just hope that I will be part of your memories."

Is it really enough to have had him once? Qiu Luming once admired her husband, and she was really full of admiration. Many girls would also say some words of admiration in private, but that was all.

Qiu Luming thinks that it is such a pity to love someone but not be able to possess them! Can you really let go so easily? I am afraid that you don’t love them enough!

She was secretly guessing about her second brother.

It was already dark, and Officer Qiu Jiashu still hadn't returned. It looked like he would have to go home in the middle of the night again.

There were only three people in the room, and it was so quiet that it didn't feel like New Year's Day at all.

Qiu Moshi turned off the tape recorder and turned on the TV. The TV was replaying several classic programs from the Spring Festival Gala, and the room seemed much more lively.

It was New Year's Day and He Manshu couldn't sew. She felt uncomfortable with empty hands and didn't want to watch TV, so she pushed Qiu Luming onto the sofa and said, "How can you, kid, directly point out my sister-in-law's shortcomings!"

"She asked so sincerely, so I answered honestly." Qiu Luming looked so innocent.

"Alas, you are such an honest child. No matter how close your sister-in-law is to you, you still have to be careful. Just because she says it's okay doesn't mean it's really okay. Today's matter is not a big deal, but one day, if you say something hurtful, it will be irreversible."

"Then you can't keep your words to yourself!"

"Hold it! Others can hold it, why can't you?" He Manshu continued to teach, "Mom can't take care of you forever. Now it's time to teach you some ways to get along with your mother-in-law and sisters-in-law."

"But you've never gotten along with your mother-in-law or sisters-in-law, so how can you know how to get along with them?"

"You! You naughty child! I just praised your father for being smart this morning, and now you're doing this again! I haven't served a mother-in-law, but I have seen how my mother and grandmother get along, right? Although they don't get along well, they can serve as negative examples. Besides, I'm a mother-in-law, so I can analyze it for you from this perspective!"

Qiu Luming smiled, "Okay, you teach me. After the Spring Festival, I will find a partner and try your way of getting along with others!"

"You want to be beaten, huh? I asked you to start learning early, but I didn't want you to fall in love too early!"

"It's already twenty, it's getting late."

Qiu Moshi was watching TV, but he was actually listening to his sister and mother's jokes. He thought about the unexpected events at home in the past two days, and there were some things he didn't know how to tell his mother.

"It's a rare day when there aren't many people at home. I'm telling you this, so you have to remember the first point. When you're dating or getting married in the future, never say a bad word about his mother. Not even a single word!"

"Why? Can't you point out mistakes? Do I have to coax you like a sister-in-law?"

"Shut up and listen to me!" He Manshu pointed at her daughter's nose, "Because no matter how long you have known him, it's not as long as the mother and son. The mother and son have known each other since birth. Do you understand? To put it bluntly, in a man's heart, his mother is always the closest, because whoever he marries is his wife, but he only has one biological mother!"

Qiu Luming clapped his hands, "Ha! Third brother, did you understand? Our mother is clearly pointing at you!"

Qiu Moshi held back his laughter, nodded and said, "Mom is right!"

"Don't take it lightly. What Mom said is absolutely true."

"I took it seriously and really remembered it!" Qiu Luming nodded nonchalantly. "Anything else?"

"No more!" He Manshu said unhappily, and she had a lot to say but didn't want to say it anymore. - This stinky girl, her neighbor Xia Yanjing's nonsense was taken more seriously than her mother!

"If there is no one, then it's my turn to speak." Qiu Luming looked at his third brother and said to He Manshu, "Mom, today Fan Xiaoqing asked me, your third brother is about to graduate, it will be easier to find a wife if he returns to the county. I told her that my third brother studied computer science and would be useless if he returned to Jiayang, so he would definitely go to Beijing to develop. When she heard it, she said, it's a pity that those women from other places will get the chance. Haha, isn't it interesting?"

He Manshu's smile faded. "Since your third brother signed up for this major, Mom knew he couldn't return to Jiayang. But Mom and Dad's abilities are limited, so he'll have to rely on himself in the future."

"Mom." Qiu Moshi's voice was a little hoarse, "Mom, no matter where we work, we are contributing to the country and will not embarrass you and Dad."

He Manshu nodded, "Mom is not an uneducated person. I have figured it out a long time ago. If your eldest brother wants to go to Harbin, let him go. But it's not that easy. Your eldest sister-in-law's job is not easy to transfer. Who will help them take care of Dabao then? Also, your second brother, I have never opposed him and Zhou Lina. I don't care if he wants to be someone's son-in-law. As long as the Zhou family agrees and as long as his self-esteem can bear it, he can pursue his love."

"Mom, when I settle down in Beijing, I will take you and my dad to live in Beijing. It will be so nice to live in the capital!" Qiu Moshi felt relieved and promised immediately.

"Your words are enough. Let's talk about it after your father and I retire. I still have to help Youyou take care of the children in the future."

Qiu Luming was distracted just now, thinking about the graceful manner of the man riding a horse, when she heard her mother mention the child, her face turned red, and she felt that her mother and third brother had seen through her thoughts, and said shyly: "What what!"
