Home of Rebirth

In the end, Meng Qiushi couldn't take Meng Huaiyuan away to celebrate the New Year together. He had no choice but to give Meng Huaiyuan 500 yuan before leaving, saying it was lucky money.

Meng Huaiyuan didn't want it, and he didn't want anything.

After everyone had left on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the aunts kept comforting Meng Qiushi while sitting in the car.

It's normal for a child of this age to be like this, he has a big temper, and he can't turn the corner. When you are free, you should care about him more.

It's just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child, and it will be fine after a while.

Everyone thinks this way, Meng Qiushi thinks the same way, and even the second uncle, who has been watching and understanding, thinks it should be like this.

But Meng Huaiyuan took them by surprise.

On the 27th, Meng Huaiyuan did not go with them. On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the second uncle, the old uncle, and Meng Qiushi came again.

This time, Meng Qiushi bought many things for Meng Huaiyuan.

School bags, stationery, brand-name sports shoes, and a fur coat brought back from other places.

These days, fur coats are very valuable. I heard that there are thieves who go to people's houses just to steal a fur coat.

From Xia Yue's point of view, Meng Qiushi used some snacks this time.

But now I think about it, it is the most useless.

Meng Huaiyuan still didn't want it as usual, no matter what anyone said, he wouldn't listen to it, and he always looked impatient and expressionless.

It made some elders a little angry, but they didn't dare to put on airs of elders in front of Meng Huaiyuan, especially Meng Qiushi.

Throughout the first lunar month, everyone in the old Meng family talked about Meng Huaiyuan after dinner.

This child is promising and temperamental, but no matter how humble Meng Qiushi is, he is indifferent to him, and when he meets him, he doesn't call him dad, but just calls him uncle.

The second uncle tried his best to reconcile the atmosphere here. In the past, they were always afraid that Meng Huaiyuan would see Meng Qiushi come back, and after learning about those shameful things, he would make a lot of grievances and make a lot of noise, so they talked a lot around him. The meaning is that I hope she can settle down and don't make too much trouble with her father, after all, things are already like this.

But now, they hope that if Meng Huaiyuan can make trouble like other children, maybe the relationship between their father and son can be eased faster.

Because at least, as long as Meng Huaiyuan makes trouble, it means that he still cares about his father.

But Meng Huaiyuan didn't say a word, what should be done or what should be done, facing Meng Qiushi's own father, it was really like facing an ordinary relative, without hatred or thought, the calmness was shocking.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Meng Qiushi came again.

This time he came by himself, smelling of alcohol and looking a little drunk.

Meng Huaiyuan was setting off firecrackers at the entrance of the alley with Xia Yue, when he suddenly saw him, Xia Yue rolled his eyes inwardly.

This man is not done yet.

"I know... I know that you hate me and blame me for not caring about you for so many years... But Huaiyuan, Dad is also in trouble. It's not that Dad doesn't want to come back, but Dad doesn't dare to come back..." Meng Qiushi may have been drunk The reason, he actually cried while talking, pulling Meng Huaiyuan to chanting with tears: "In fact, all these years, Dad has always remembered you, and he has never forgotten you, but he dared not come back... and those years also It's hard, and your two younger brothers... It's dad who's sorry for you, dad is sorry for you..."

Meng Huaiyuan pushed his hand away: "Stop talking, go back quickly, it's Chinese New Year, and it's time for dinner, so we have to go back too."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and pulled Xia Yue over, without saying a word.

In fact, Meng Huaiyuan also had a slight feeling in his heart, and he was not made of real stone, so how could he not feel it at all.

But as soon as this feeling appeared, he was denied it in his heart.

When I was young, Meng Qiushi had just run away, and people came to their house every day to make trouble, it was the family who was chopped.

His mother often cried, and the house was always smashed into a mess.

Later, my mother couldn't continue her work and had to take care of him. Those days were very hard.

At that time, Meng Huaiyuan was looking forward to Meng Qiushi's return every day, so that his mother would not have to bear it alone.

But after looking forward to it for several years, Meng Qiushi never showed up. Gradually, his and his mother's hearts became cold.

His mother no longer scolded Meng Qiushi for complaining every day when he was free, but he knew that the wound in his mother's heart would never heal again.

Then, for a long period of time, my mother never mentioned Meng Qiushi again, and it was only when she was about to fail at last that she grabbed someone and asked, struggling, if Meng Qiushi had come back.

Before she died, she never saw her husband again.

At that time, Meng Huaiyuan just watched it like that, so he could only feel a little bit about Meng Qiushi's seemingly sincere cry, and he immediately denied it.

Xia Yue watched from the side.

Meng Huaiyuan in his previous life did not like Meng Qiushi, but he was not so indifferent. Looking at him was almost like looking at a stranger.

In the final analysis, Meng Huaiyuan was helpless in his previous life. Although he was strong, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't stand the word family. Even though he knew that family love didn't have much gold content, he still couldn't help it. If you want to get closer, besides, there is Xia Yue who is a motivator. At that time, accepting foreign aid from Meng Qiushi was the fastest way to get money.

But Meng Huaiyuan in this life is different. He is the top student in the senior high school entrance examination, and he is a top student in Tsinghua University and Peking University. He has a bright future.

And as far as family affection is concerned, Meng Huaiyuan in this life has Xia Yue by his side, so he never feels lonely and helpless, and he has confidence in himself.

Such a change made Xia Yue feel distressed.

It's hard to say whether he feels sorry for Meng Huaiyuan in his previous life, or the one in front of him now.

In short, it made him feel very uncomfortable.

On the 39th day, Meng Huaiyuan caught a cold and vomited up all the dumplings he ate at night. Xia Yue took a thermometer to measure him, it was more than [-] degrees, and he was so hot that he was talking nonsense.

Boss Xia knocked on the door of the clinic in the middle of the night, brought the doctor home, and gave Meng Huaiyuan an injection.

"Why do you still have brain problems in the [-]th year of the year?" The doctor at the community clinic finished the injection, and chatted with Xia's mother in a leisurely manner while packing his things.

"It's not that idiot Meng Qiushi, who is so conspicuous during the New Year's Eve, it makes the child feel uneasy." Xia's mother scolded.

Xia Yue hadn't seen Meng Huaiyuan get sick for so many years. Xia Yue felt that this was probably not an ordinary headache. It was probably because of Meng Qiushi's idea. Although Meng Huaiyuan did not take it to heart, could he not think about it at all? He was only a child of seven or eight years old.

Meng Huaiyuan had been sleeping on the kang in the hut until Xia Yue pulled out the needle for him after the bottle was finished, and he woke up faintly.

The hut was unlit and very quiet.

"You're awake." Xia Yue looked down at him and said softly.

Meng Huaiyuan nodded, sat up and asked, "What time is it, how long have I been asleep?"

"I didn't sleep for a long time, it was just after one o'clock, just after twelve o'clock, and my parents and mother were asleep in that room." After Xia Yue packed up the hanging bottle and infusion set, he sat beside him and asked, "How do you feel?" How is it, are you still uncomfortable? You vomited all the dumplings you ate at night, will you be hungry?"

"Well, I'm a little hungry." Meng Huaiyuan smiled, his voice a little hoarse.

Xia Yue also smiled, with a look of understanding that I knew, then opened the door lightly and went to the kitchen, and came in after a while, holding two large bowls in his hand.

There are dumplings and some vegetables in it, and it is still warm when you touch it.

"I knew you were hungry when you woke up, so I kept warming it for you, eat quickly." Xia Yue put the bowl on the kang, and then the two of them sat on the quilt and had a supper.

Originally, Xia Yue was not hungry, but Meng Huaiyuan fed him two dumplings.

After eating, Xia Yue cleaned up the dishes, then took off his clothes and shoes and rolled into the bed.

Meng Huaiyuan hugged him, Xia Yue curled the corner of his mouth, and didn't ask a word.

Because Meng Huaiyuan caught a cold and had a high fever, so on the second day of this year, he did not follow Xia Yue and his family to visit relatives like in previous years, but lay at home to recuperate from his illness.

Xia Yue stayed with him.

Xia Lao San and Xia's mother left early in the morning. Before leaving, they heated up the kang in the big house, and let Xia Yue and Meng Huaiyuan go to the big house to stay on the kang to save the cold.

The kang in the big house was very big, and it was very warm when it was burned. The two of them sat on the kang, ate snacks and watched TV.

At noon, it was time for Meng Huaiyuan to get an injection, but the doctor never came, and no one answered the calls to the clinic, so Xia Yue went out to have a look.

Meng Huaiyuan wanted to go out with him, but was stopped by Xia Yue.

I already had a cold, but it got worse when I went outside and was frozen.

Meng Huaiyuan thought for a while, but didn't argue with him, but let him go out after helping him get dressed.

As a result, after Xia Yue went out, their phone rang.

Meng Huaiyuan thought it was someone calling to find Mama Xia to play mahjong, so he picked up without thinking.

"Excuse me, is this Xia Yue's house?"

"Yes, who are you?"

"I'm Xia Yue's classmate, I want to find Xia Yue."
